Harem House Chapter 20

Kelly waited in her car for the others to arrive. She was a little early for the meeting tonight and didn't know how long the others would be. Selene had messaged via the harem chat to let her know they were on their way from campus. This whole thing was still surreal. She couldn't help but think about how ridiculous this was as she sat in her car, waiting to meet up with her man's other girlfriends. As a fantasy, it was hot to think about. As a reality? It felt weird. Not good, not bad, just weird. It was strange and unusual territory for her, though she thought that was true for all of them.

Kelly liked Arthur a lot. Obviously, she was attracted to him, and she'd liked him as a person and man since before he and Lori broke up last spring. If he'd suggested polyamory, then she might not have taken him up on it. Lori would have had too much of an advantage, with years together with Arthur before Kelly came into the picture romantically. Though Lori was exactly her type of woman.

Things were different with the Harem. They were all starting out simultaneously, more or less, even if she and Selene had a deeper connection to him than the other girls. He'd only known Mindy a few weeks, Rani a few days, and he and Kat weren't close as far as Kelly knew. Selene was the only one whose friendship with him was longer than most, but still slightly shorter than hers. As it was, though, she felt confident and secure in her relationship with Arthur, even if she was sure she didn't have time to bear the responsibility of a full-time boyfriend. Let the other girls distract him. He was still her man so long as he always made time for her. And she knew he liked her. For now, that was enough.

For her, and possibly the others, poly was an experiment. And if things didn't work out? Well, she wasn't sure how she'd take it. She'd been so focused on graduating and getting her practicum and student teaching set. Then Arthur asked her out, and the idea of having a partner on campus had shifted her perspective. That was when the thoughts about the future started, a future she was still trying to figure out.

Honestly, Kelly had always wanted something that didn't seem real anymore, if it ever was to begin with. She idolized the old romantic movies and TV shows with the ideal families they showed. She knew they weren't realistic, but she loved the idea of being a housewife and stay-at-home mother. Unfortunately, that wasn't a real job anymore. No one considered it a viable career, and it relied on someone else to make it work. It simply wasn't done in this day and age, and anytime she mentioned the idea to anyone over the years, it was condemned. It wasn't feminist, wasn't right, and was somehow less worthy than any other life choice, no matter how base the occupation. Honestly, Kelly felt she could tell people she wanted to work as a Barista or Janitor, and they would respect her choice more than if she was honest.

She didn't even care if it was to a man, really. She was just as attracted to women as to men, though it had taken her years to come to terms with that. She liked masculine men and feminine women in equal measure, and being feminine, in that outmoded traditional sense of wearing dresses and applying her makeup with artistic skill, made her feel sexy, which made her feel confident and powerful.

And she was powerful, with a body she painstakingly sculpted by regimented diet and exercise to achieve the goals she wanted. She was a strong young woman without going overboard and sacrificing the feminine shape she wanted. She knew Arthur appreciated her body, but judging by his collection of women, it was hard to tell if he had a type. Maybe variety was the point. She didn't mind that. It'd be weird if he had another girlfriend just like her, but it made a little more sense if they were all different. Or maybe not.

She sighed. She wanted to try something new, something fun, and she was enjoying the comradery so far, but she still worried that it would go wrong or cost her long-term. She was already far more attached to Arthur than her life plan told her she should be. Serious dating was supposed to wait until after college.

She didn't have to fear that he was more attracted to one of the other women because her body wasn't one of her insecurities. Her sexual experience, or lack thereof, on the other hand, was a problem. She knew she couldn't satisfy all of his tastes, especially if the other girls were more into the whole BDSM thing than she was. Spankings were hot, given the right circumstances, but that was as kinky as she'd gotten thus far where that kind of thing was concerned. She'd need to talk to Arthur about that eventually.

Tonight, however, the plan was to meet with the other women in Arthur's life. The Harem. The elite club of Arthur's girlfriends had plenty to figure out between them logistically. Now that their poly relationship with Arthur was known, they needed to figure out how to deal with all the stares and gossip spreading around campus. There was also the problem of what to do for homecoming weekend and the parties it inevitably brought. They agreed to form this sisterhood two days ago, and the group chat hadn't slowed since.

So far, Kelly found the group a surprisingly comfortable resource. They had helped her roommate Kate, who was taking her breakup with Sean very badly. Or at least, they were going to, by taking her out Friday so Kelly could keep her date with Arthur, which surprised her. She'd expected Katerine or Selene to suggest they could have the evening with Arthur instead, but Selene seemed genuinely thrilled to be taking Katelyn out on the town, and Katerine had helped make the plans.

They were supporting one another, helping each other out, and talking about school, classwork, and the professors more than Arthur in their Harem Chat. The names others had taken in the chat surprised her, too. Selene called herself Slut, and always referred to Arthur as Master rather than by name. Mindy called herself Whore for some reason. Kat called herself Brat, and she supposed she could see it, though Kat had never been rude to her directly. Shy, maybe, but never rude. Rani called herself Queenie and feeling pressured to assume a nickname, Kelly chose a cutesy one: Wifey.

If the other girls thought it was a little entitled or threatening, they hadn't said so. On the contrary, Selene told her in the chat that she loved the name for Kelly, and the others agreed. In the past few days, it had been made clear to Kelly that despite her claims of equality, and regardless of Rani's nickname, Selene was the queen bee of the Harem. Selene was its instigator and leader, but she initiated and led in the strangest way Kelly had ever seen. She'd known plenty of women who led by controlling as much as possible or judging others and setting the rules for their peers. Selene led by support and sometimes suggestions. Whatever the other girls did, said, or wanted, Selene seemed supportive and gave any and all control or judgment to Arthur. She had plenty of suggestions but never seemed upset, angry, or cold if her advice wasn't taken.

The lack of shame in the other women, and from the other women, took some getting used to, but it was nice. Freeing. No shaming each other was one of the Harem's rules, and it was more liberating than Kelly expected. She didn't have to worry about saying the wrong thing or confessing too much. She could be herself with the other girls, and they encouraged her no matter what. She would always feel thankful for that, and if this is what living with them would be like, she couldn't wait to move into Arthur's parents' house, even if she might have to wait longer than she'd like.

Kelly lifted her eyes to her rearview mirror when she saw movement and watched the ratty old car filled with women drive behind her to an empty parking spot. She recognized Rani in the passenger seat and got out of her car, a sporty SUV with a bike rack. She wore a simple deep blue dress with a square neckline and a ruffled skirt that fell to her mid-calves. Cinched with a red belt and topped off with black flats, she crossed the parking lot to greet Selene and the others.

"Hey, there she is." Selene greeted Kelly with a smile as she and the others got out of Kat's car.

"Hey." Kelly waved hello. "I parked in an unmarked spot. Is that okay? I wasn't sure if there was assigned parking."

"Oh, you're fine. It's not assigned. So long as you didn't park in a handicap space or something." Selene assured her.

"Nope." Kelly said.

Selene nodded to the building across the parking lot. "The girls and I were thinking we should have this at Arthur's place instead to surprise him when he's done with class." Selene suggested. "What do you think?"

Kelly followed Selene's gaze to the third-floor window she assumed was Arthur's by context. She'd never been in his apartment before, and going in without his knowledge or permission felt like a trespass, but... she was his girlfriend, right? It was her inherent right to snoop on her man.

"How late does his class go?" Kelly asked, uncertainty clear in her voice. "I wasn't sure how late we were planning on going..."

"His class ends at nine." Selene said with confidence. "It usually gets out a few minutes early, and he drives faster than grandma here." She gestured at Kat, who rolled her eyes in response. "So he'd get there about fifteen to twenty minutes after..." Selene suggested. "I'm sure he wouldn't mind you spending the night."

Kelly seemed to think about it momentarily, even though Kat, Mindy, and Rani were already walking across the parking lot toward Arthur's building's door. "Well, I didn't bring my overnight bag or a change of clothes..." Kelly hesitated. "But... I guess it's okay if we meet in his place. You have a key, I suppose?" Kelly asked.

Selene nodded as they started walking. "For emergencies." She explained. "Kat and I live in this building." She gestured to it. "And Arthur and I have been friends for a while, so he has a key to our place for emergencies, too."

"And this is an emergency?" Kelly asked with a hint of skepticism in her voice.

"No." Selene admitted. "But I don't think he'll be mad to come home to five women waiting for him on our knees."

Kelly smirked. She'd worn her dress and ensured her hair and makeup were done just in case she saw Arthur tonight after the Harem hung out. She wasn't planning to spend the night but wasn't opposed to it. After all, she and Arthur were supposed to meet for cardio in the morning. Instead of him driving over to her place, she could give him a lift.

"I think it depends on how we're waiting." Kat interjected. "We should fuck with him, make him think we're all pissed at him."

Mindy giggled.

"I'm down." Rani chimed in. "But Selene might give it away too quickly."

"Are we sure he won't be pissed at us for meeting in his apartment without him?" Kelly asked as the five girls climbed the stairs to Arthur's apartment.

"He probably won't even question it." Kat assured her. "He'd probably be weirded out to be alone in his apartment at this point."

Kelly raised an eyebrow but didn't comment as they all finished their ascent. She knew they'd all dated Arthur and spent time with him, but she didn't know the details. She'd thought she preferred it that way, but now she was starting to feel that she wanted to know. Had everyone been to his apartment before but her? Had they fucked in his bed? Had she been the only one in this group that hadn't been on Arthur's turf? Was that something to worry about? Her confidence was on shaky ground as she reached the landing.

Selene reached the third-floor landing and immediately moved to the door. She pulled the key out of her purse on a keychain of its own and unlocked the door for the others. She stepped through it first and held the door open as Kat, Mindy, Rani, and finally Kelly stepped inside. The others made themselves at home immediately, but Kelly stood in the center, taking it all in.

The front door was halfway along the large rectangular room that made up the living room, though only the left side was furnished. To the left, the sofa and coffee table made up the living room pointed toward the TV on the far wall with an open archway to the kitchen table on the left side of the far wall. To the right side of that was the bathroom door, and on the right wall were two doors leading to the apartment's two bedrooms. One of which was Arthur's bedroom. On the right side of the door was a large blank wall, except it had several eye hooks in it, and several collars hung from the hooks nearest the door. Then, there was a little alcove on the far right side of that wall, which led to the hall closet and back stairwell of the apartment building.

It was much cleaner than Kelly expected. Tidy, even. A man who lived alone would be expected to be a slob according to everything she knew about her brothers, father, and men. She was glad to see the stereotype was untrue of Arthur.

Selene moved past Kelly as she looked around and fetched the kitchen table chairs, bringing them into the living room for people to use to sit around the coffee table facing the sofa. Rani sat in one corner of the couch, Kat sat in the other, and Mindy sat between them. Selene took a chair for herself and offered Kelly one, who came to stand behind it, resting her hands on the back as she turned her attention toward Selene.

"Should we wear our collars for this kind of meeting?" Selene asked though it sounded like a suggestion. Selene, of course, was already wearing one. The thin brown leather strip around her throat was something she had yet to remove since she and Arthur started being more than friends.

"Why?" Kat asked. "Maybe after the meeting, when Arthur's here." She suggested.

"I don't have one." Kelly shrugged.

Mindy looked at her sympathetically. "That's okay. I'm sure he'll give you one soon."

Kelly looked confused, as though the implication she should have one and didn't was some kind of strike against her relationship with Arthur. She immediately felt defensive, and her face must have given her away because Mindy immediately looked apologetic.

"Not that you need to wear one if you don't want to!" Mindy said hurriedly. "I like mine, but I'm okay to wait until after the meeting. This is more about us than him, right?"

Rani nodded, though she was already wearing the gold choker chain that linked through one gold ring to have the other fall between her breasts. Kat and Mindy's necks were bare, and neither moved from the couch to take a collar off the wall nor moved to produce one from the purses at their feet.

Kelly gave the rest of the girls a sweeping once-over before she sat down. Kat wore a pair of tight, hip-hugging khakis and a purple blouse that buttoned up to a high collar. Rani wore an oversized pair of gray sweatpants and a blue hoodie that looked sun-faded. Mindy wore a sweater dress that showed off her assets, and Selene wore a pair of cut-off jean shorts and a black camisole tank top over a black bra. Kelly and the others looked at Selene after they sat down, waiting for her to start the meeting. Meanwhile, Selene looked at Kelly, waiting for her to start.

"So..." Rani said after a few seconds of silence. "What's on the agenda for tonight's meeting of the sisterhood of sluts?"

Mindy giggled. "That's not our name."

"Sisterhood of Excalibur, right?" Kelly remembered from Monday.

"I guess the first thing we should do is settle on a name for our little club." Kat scoffed.

"I liked 'Harem' as a name." Selene piped up. "We're Arthur's harem, after all."

Mindy looked at Rani, who shrugged. "I don't think it matters, but I have no objections to any of those names."

"All for calling ourselves the sisterhood of sluts?" Kelly asked.

Rani, Selene, and Mindy raised their hands. Kat held her hand up, thumb down.

"The sisterhood of Excalibur?" Kelly asked.

Selene, Rani, and Kat raised their hands. Mindy shrugged as if to suggest she didn't care one way or the other about the name.

"Arthur's Harem?" Kelly asked.

She, Selene, and Mindy raised their hands this time while Rani and Kat shrugged.

"Let's go with Harem, then." Kat suggested. "Then we won't have to rename the chat."

"Should we go through all three options again?" Kelly asked.

"No." Rani shook her head. "Harem's fine. I'll agree to that."

"Harem it is." Selene said with a smile. "Welcome, everyone, to the first official meeting of Arthur's harem."

Mindy clapped, which made Rani scoff.

"Didn't we meet on Monday? In the cafeteria?" Kat protested.

"That was when we formed." Selene corrected. "But this is our first official meeting after our formation."

Kelly shrugged, not really sure if that mattered.

"First off, before we get started. I know most of us are coming from dinner, but did you get a chance to eat already, Kelly?" Selene asked. "Do we need to order any food?"

"I'm good." Kelly insisted. "I ate before I came."

"The bi girl's motto." Rani cut in, and Mindy giggled before smacking Rani's thigh.

Kat rolled her eyes. "So, do we have an agenda?" Kat asked. "Or are we just here to, like... hang out and talk?"

"Well, we do have a few things to talk about." Selene said, still smiling at Rani's quip. "Our weekend plans, specifically homecoming, the upcoming trip to the ren faire, Halloween, etcetera. We've also got house arrangements to discuss, some logistics where Arthur is concerned, and someone else I want to discuss, and I think Mindy had someone she wanted to nominate for membership in our harem?"

Kelly looked surprised. "Another one?"

Kat also looked surprised. "Wait, Mindy has someone?" She asked. "I thought for sure Kelly was going to nominate Katelyn."

Kelly shook her head adamantly. "No." She said. "Why would I nominate Katelyn to be one of Arthur's girlfriends?" She asked. "They don't even know each other well, and she's still getting over Sean."

"No reason." Kat said immediately. "I just thought... well, what with her moving in with us and all, right? Is she gonna be okay if things get a little frisky between us and Arthur around the house?"

Kelly seemed to think about that for a moment. "I... hadn't thought about doing that kind of thing in the open, I guess." She said after a second. "Are the rest of you into... doing it with an audience?"

"Depends on the audience." Rani piped up.

Selene smirked. "Okay. We're getting off track." She looked at Mindy. "First things first. Min, would you be willing to take minutes for us? Be the Harem secretary?"

Mindy's eyes seemed to sparkle as she immediately moved for her book bag and pulled out a notebook and a pen. She opened it to a blank page, and her pen clicked, ready to go in a second. After she finished writing down the attendants and the name decision, she had it ready and poised.

"I'll take that as a yes." Selene smirked.

"Yes." Mindy nodded.

"And Kelly..." Selene started. "Do you want to lead the meeting?"

"Why would I want to lead the meeting?" Kelly asked, surprised. "I thought this was more your thing."

"Oh, well... I mean..." Selene hesitated. "I didn't want to overstep."

"Overstep?" Kelly asked, confused.

Kat sighed. "I apologize for Selene." She said to Kelly. "We're all equal, right?" She spun her finger around to indicate all five of them. "But Selene considers herself below the rest of us, as Arthur's... slave, more than his girlfriend. Right, Slut?"

Selene blushed a little but nodded.

"And you call yourself wifey in the chat. So... if you were his wife, and we were his bratty submissive," Kat gestured to herself. "his office whore," She gestured at Mindy. "And his..." Kat hesitated as she pointed at Rani.

"Concubine." Rani answered. She raised her hands defensively. "Yes, it's a bit racially coded, but honestly, that's kind of what makes it hot." She shrugged. "I might go back to Queenie later. Depends on my mood."

"And his sex slave." Kat gestured at Selene. "Then, you would obviously be the natural choice to take the lead in situations like this. Administrate things."

"Run the household." Kelly said under her breath. "Okay." She said at normal volume. "I'll do it." She nodded at Selene. "Thank you... Slut?" She said hesitantly. "What do I call you?" She asked Selene.

"Slut is fine, Mistress." Selene answered. "Slave will also suffice." She said. "Or Selene, obviously."

Kelly smiled and nodded. "Okay. So, chat names are nicknames, basically?"

"Yes, Mistress." Selene answered.

"Is that what I am to you?" Kelly asked. "Your mistress?" She was unfamiliar with the BDSM stuff everyone else seemed to know. She felt like the term had more connotations than she knew about, which made her slightly uncomfortable at its use directed her way.

"Not really." Kat shook her head. "I think it's more of a title than a role, but Selene seems to enjoy calling you that." She scoffed. "Does that bother you? Or do you prefer it? Should we all call you Mistress?"

Kelly shook her head. "I'm just not sure what it means." Kelly confessed. "I mean, I know the word. But I mean, what it means in a BDSM context and all its implications, so I don't think anyone should call me that unless they really want to. I'm not familiar with all of this. I... I'm fine taking point on things and leading our meetings if you want, but I don't think I should really hold authority over any of you. Right? Isn't that what we agreed on Monday? Arthur's the coach. I'm just another member of the team."

Kat nodded, and Mindy and Rani joined in.

"We're equal in value, different in roles." Selene explained. "You run Master's house, Whore helps his professional life, and we pitch in and take care of everything else."

"I'm his personal, personal assistant." Mindy giggled.

"Okay..." Kelly said hesitantly, but she seemed okay with it after a few seconds passed.

"Okay." Kat said. "So now that we've got that settled..."

"What's that list that Selene said earlier, Whore?" Kelly asked. Though, she didn't like how the name sounded in her mouth. She'd tried to use Mindy's nickname in the chat as her nickname at the meeting, and... it just didn't feel right. It felt like she was trying to shame her or something, and that went against the vibe they were going for. "Sorry, Mindy." She corrected.

"I don't mind if you call me Whore." Mindy said. "Among us, it's just kind of... like an inside joke or something. Something that means something different to us than it does to other people. You're not insulting me when you call me that. You're calling me by the name I want to go by in this group."

"Same." Selene nodded, pointing. "Thanks Mindy. I didn't know how to say that before, but you hit the nail on the head. That's why I like it when any of you call me Slut. It's... it's a name that means something special to us, even if it has a different, though similar, meaning in the outside world."

"Does that mean I'm not actually a Brat, and it's just a term of endearment?" Kat asked.

"No, you're a total brat." Selene quipped and stuck her tongue out at Kat, who returned the gesture but broke into a quiet laugh immediately after.

Kelly looked between the two for a moment, nervous that they were actually fighting about something for a second, and then realized that they were cracking jokes at each other. It seemed to break the awkwardness in the room, and Mindy and Rani giggled softly at the humor as it lightened everyone's spirits.

"Okay." Kelly said. "So... Whore. What's the next item on the agenda?" Using the names would take some getting used to, but she was willing to try.

"Homecoming." Mindy said after checking her notes. "Well, weekend plans in general, I suppose."

"Okay. Weekend plans first." Kelly said, taking point. "Friday night." She gestured at Selene and Kat. "Are you two still good to take Katelyn out Friday night?"

Selene nodded much quicker than Kat did, but Kat nodded, too.

"What's this now?" Rani asked.

"Katelyn, our future housemate, a friend of mine, and current roommate with Kelly, needs a girl's night out." Kat explained. "She found out last weekend her boyfriend was cheating on her and needs a girl's night. Female solidarity, over-generalize and bitch about men, that kind of thing." Kat suggested.

"I'm in!" Rani raised her hand. "This is the same Katelyn that joined us for lunch the other day, right?"

"Yes." Kelly nodded. "She and Katerine play volleyball together."

"Everyone calls us the Kats." Kat commented.

"Cute." Rani nodded. "And she's going to be living with us and Arthur?"

"She's agreed to try it." Kelly suggested. "She's a little nervous about it, to be honest, and a little worried that Arthur will try to seduce her."

"Damn Incubus that he is." Mindy scoffed.

The girls laughed.

"She doesn't have to worry. Arthur only seduces people who ask him to. He's clueless sometimes." Selene interjected, and Mindy nodded hard.

"Okay, so Friday night. Where are we going?" Rani asked.

"There's a bar a friend of mine is playing at with his band." Selene explained. "I think the plan was to go there."

"What kind of music?" Rani asked, curious. Selene had that punkish way about her, suggesting she'd be into heavy metal music and bands that screamed more than sang. That wasn't always Rani's scene, but she didn't mind it occasionally.

Mindy looked at her notebook and sketched a sad face beside the word bar. A bar meant she couldn't go since most around here had a minimum age limit at the door to prevent underage drinking. Or if she did, she'd have to be careful about not getting caught being under the legal drinking age of 21. It was probably for the best. She had work anyway.

"They do rock covers, mostly. Some country. Not my usual thing, but Katelyn likes country music, right?" Selene asked, looking at Kat and Kelly in turn.

Kelly and Kat both nodded.

"Okay, cool." Rani nodded. "Cowgirl boots and cut-off jeans. Easy enough."

Kat smiled. "We'll pick you up on our way, around six outside your dorm?"

"Perfect." Rani nodded. "You coming?" She nudged Mindy with her elbow.

"I... I'm not legal drinking age." Mindy reminded her.

"Oh, right. Freshman." Rani remembered.

"That's okay." Mindy said hurriedly. "Friday nights are usually pretty busy for my dad's restaurant anyway, so I have to work." She said.

"You work a lot." Kat commented. "Between the office and your parents' restaurant, I mean."

"It's just a few hours a week at both." Mindy shrugged. "My parents are more concerned with my grades than anything else, but the office is valuable business experience for my major."

"And you get to fuck your boss." Rani nudged her again and laughed.

Mindy didn't even blush but smiled and nodded with a delighted little giggle that the others couldn't help but join in with. "And he's actually my boss now. So it's even hotter."

"Wait, what?" Kelly asked. "I thought he already was your boss?"

"No. They're technically co-workers; he just does her boss's work without the title and pay." Rani explained.

"Oh, right." Kelly nodded.

Mindy nodded in agreement with Rani but explained. "And then he explained that to our boss, who decided he was right and promoted him." She smirked. "So he's now officially my supervisor."

"That's..." Kat hesitated. "Illegal?"

"It's fine." Mindy shook her head. "We're consenting adults. And if we're going to talk about new members to the harem... I might have one."

Selene looked to be the only one excited by the news, even if Mindy had already given it to her. Rani looked bored, Kat looked annoyed, and Kelly appeared worried.

"I've been thinking about that a lot recently." Kat admitted. "With Katelyn potentially living with us and her being single, I told Arthur it's only a matter of time before someone suggests she join the harem." She explained. "But, like I said, I've been thinking, and... Can we all agree to just... see how this works with the five of us before we add anyone else to the mix?" Kat asked.

"Six of us with Arthur." Rani corrected, which earned her a look from Kat.

"Fine. Six of us? I don't know about you guys, but this whole poly thing is new for me. I'm already worried about getting along with all of you. I'm not ready to add someone else yet, even if I like Katelyn, and I'm definitely not ready to add someone I don't know to the harem yet." Kat explained.

"Okay." Selene agreed immediately.

"Okay?" Kat asked. She looked at Selene, shocked that she would support her in this. Selene was the one with the cuckquean fantasy. She was the one who got off on the idea of Arthur having a harem in the first place. The one who convinced Kat to give Arthur a try and encouraged Arthur to keep pursuing other women, all of whom were here tonight. So, if anyone objected to putting a pause on people joining, Kat expected Selene to be that person. After all, it was her fantasy to get Arthur to fuck as many women as possible.

"Yeah." Selene said softly. "I know what I want, but this is about what all of us want, and we need to respect each other's boundaries." She explained.

Kat took a few seconds to adjust to her new reality but finally snapped out of it and nodded. "Thank you."

"For how long, though?" Selene asked Kat. She wasn't trying to argue or withdraw her support, but she was genuinely curious to know if there was a point in time that Kat had in mind.

"I don't know." Kat admitted. "Maybe we can revisit it next month? After we're in the house?"

"Are you moving in that soon?" Kelly asked.

Selene and Kat nodded.

"Aren't you?" Selene asked Kelly.

Kelly shook her head. "We missed the deadline for October." She explained. "So our lease isn't up until the end of November, which would put our move-in date right before finals. Katelyn suggested maybe we should just move in next semester. Though I'd hate to pay a whole month's rent for the two weeks we'll use it in December. But moving on top of finals seems... ill-advised."

"We can help you move." Selene suggested. "If we do it over Thanksgiving weekend... I'm sure we could work something out with Arthur's parents."

"I was planning on going home for Thanksgiving... but that Saturday should work." Kelly nodded. "I'll float it to Kate. See what she says."

Selene nodded. "Okay. So... no new members to the harem for now." She said as she looked around, returning the conversation to the point. "Everyone's agreed on that?"

Mindy was frowning, but she didn't voice a protest. She owed Kat and Selene, and if Kat needed to get her feet under her before they started adding more women, that was okay with her if it was okay with Arthur. "But we're still open, right? We can fuck people outside the harem, and so can Arthur?" Mindy asked.

"Of course." Selene said quickly. "They're just not part of this." She gestured between them all. "They're a bonus." She winked, which made Mindy giggle.

"Just out of curiosity, though, who did you want to add?" Rani asked.

"It's not important." Mindy shook her head. "I'll let Arthur broach the subject when we're open to new members." She'd wanted to tell them about Beth, but if she wasn't able to join, she'd let Arthur tell them. It was supposed to be a secret anyway, and Mindy didn't know everyone here very well. She'd told Selene, but she trusted Selene, Kat, and Rani. It was Kelly she didn't know that well, now that she thought about it. She liked Kelly but didn't know if she had loose lips, and she didn't want to get herself, Arthur, or Beth, into trouble.

"Okay, so... homecoming." Kelly said as everyone else seemed to search for the next thing to discuss. "Obviously, there's the game and the fair the school throws for the alumni, etc. Does anyone have family coming in?"

Mindy shook her head and answered first. "My parents will be working." She said. "So I'm free."

"My parents aren't coming." Rani shrugged.

"Mom's not coming, right?" Selene asked Kat, who shrugged.

"She hasn't mentioned it, and you know how much she likes to plan everything ahead of time, so I think we're free." Kat answered.

"My mom said she might try and come by, but she always says that and never does." Kelly said with a shrug. "So I'm free too."

Selene grinned wickedly. "So... Saturday morning, Kelly will obviously be with Arthur after your date on Friday." Selene gestured to Kelly, who looked at her awkwardly but nodded. "I'll be across the parking lot with Kat, and neither of us has work, right?" She looked at Kat, who shook her head.

"We said we wanted to make a group date of it, right?" Rani asked. "We'll certainly draw some attention if we go to the festivities in the morning."

"True..." Kelly said as if it were bad.

"Which is fine." Selene said. "Let them gossip." Selene shrugged. "Our sex life is our business."

The girls hesitantly nodded. It was one thing to be excited about trying something new. It was different when you realized that the eyes of strangers, friends, faculty, and everyone else would be eyeing and judging you for your choices. On Monday, it had seemed so hypothetical and far off. Now, after two days of being looked at like they had three nostrils and questioned by strangers, some of them were nervous.

"What do we want to do first?" Kelly asked.

"Should we meet here or on campus?" Selene asked at almost the same time.

Kelly looked at Selene, who looked back at her, and both tried to let the other go first in a competition of hand gestures that suggested neither wanted to be the one to take the lead.

"Let's do the carnival games and shit first." Rani suggested. "And you three can meet here, and Mindy and I will join you on campus."

"Sure." Mindy agreed. "But no pre-game hanky panky." She warned Selene.

"Aw." Selene pouted. "But-"

"Let him save his strength for after the game." Mindy shook her head. "Then we can drag him back here and-" She finished her statement with a gesture of her two hands.

"Is that the plan?" Kelly asked. "After the homecoming festivities, we all come back here and...?" She hesitated.

"Have a reverse gang bang?" Rani supplied unashamedly. "Sounds fun to me." She winked at Mindy, who giggled.

Kat rolled her eyes. She knew it was a possibility, of course, and Selene looked practically giddy at the thought, but it sounded like it would be a lot of fun for Arthur and not for her. Threesomes were fine. Sharing Arthur's attention with someone else wasn't too bad, but with four other women kneeling in front of him, all hotter than she felt she was, would he really have any attention to spare her?

Kelly smiled awkwardly and looked away, trying not to think too hard about it. She knew it was a possibility tonight, too. Unless Selene was joking earlier. She didn't know what the expectations were. Were the other girls bi? Were they expecting to do things with each other or just take turns with Arthur? Kelly didn't know how she'd feel watching Arthur do things with someone else. She also didn't feel like she knew the other girls well enough to really do anything sexual with them, but the rest seemed so casual about it. She felt like they expected her to be nonchalant about it, too. After all, wasn't she the one who suggested a casual relationship to Arthur? Yet that had been different. She'd known and liked Arthur for years. It wasn't like she'd requested a casual sexual relationship with a stranger. She had just wanted something that was low commitment until graduation.

"What uh..." Kelly started but then blushed and shook her head.

The other women were looking at her, waiting for her to continue.

"It's okay." Selene told her. "Whatever it is." She said. "What do you want to ask?"

"What's the plan for that kind of thing exactly?" She asked. "Are we- am I- Do we- do we do things with each other, or do we take turns with Arthur?"

Selene smiled softly. "What you do, and who you do it with, is entirely up to you and what you're comfortable with." Selene assured her. "You don't have to do anything you don't want to, and if you let Arthur know you don't want to do it, he won't make you. Unless you want him to."

"Selene and I don't do anything to each other, at least not directly, sexually. Arthur's been good about that." Kat explained. "And neither of us are really into other women that much." She explained. "Not like you, Mindy, and Rani, except Selene apparently does what she's told."

"And she's really good at it." Mindy confirmed with a wink, which made Kat raise an eyebrow.

Selene smiled and blushed. She looked down for a moment but returned her attention to Kelly. "We can use tonight for a test run." She said. "And if you don't like doing things with all of us... well, you don't have to." She assured Kelly. "It won't make you any less his girlfriend, and we won't think any less of you for it."

Kelly nodded silently, but she wasn't as confident as Selene seemed to be. If the rest of them were all doing things together and Kelly wasn't there, that would eventually make her the outsider. They would all have shared experiences with Arthur that she wouldn't have, so not being comfortable doing things as a group wasn't an option.

She didn't mind the idea; she was just nervous about it, and although Kelly was bisexual, she didn't know any of the girls well enough to think she was ready to sleep with them, at least not without Arthur. Maybe having him there would make it different? This whole Poly thing was new and complicated, and she was feeling slightly overwhelmed. However, her thoughts stopped spiraling when Rani suddenly broke the silence.

"So homecoming: Are we getting dressed up for the game?" Rani asked. "You know, body paint, jerseys, that kind of thing?"

"Face paint!" Selene practically shouted. "Sorry." She apologized in a much softer tone. "We should do face paint."

Mindy giggled. "I'm down. Go, team!"

"Ah yes, the sports ball." Kat nodded sagely. "All those big strong men and their balls, with the sweat and the butt slapping."

Rani snorted. Selene rolled her eyes at Kat's dry delivery that she'd heard a million times before. Kelly laughed a gentle lilting laugh that joined Mindy's giggle with a pleasant harmony between the two.

"So, we do the carnival stuff in the morning, and after lunch, we can hit the locker room and get changed for the game." Selene suggested. "Sound good?"

Kelly nodded. "I'm not sure about the face paint, but I've got some merch I can wear to support the team."

Selene clapped excitedly and settled in her chair. "Perfect."

"And then we go out to party?" Rani asked. "Or we come back here and have a private party?"

"Private party." Selene answered immediately.

Kelly looked over at her and hesitated. For someone who said she wanted Kelly to lead this little meeting, Selene seemed to control the conversation and the decisions. Still, she didn't disagree. The whole point of a homecoming party was to get drunk and have fun, and she could do that with this group, though it was likely Katelyn might want to go out and have some fun, and she'd need somebody to watch her back. She'd have to see but decided not to voice that possibility just yet. Selene would only argue against it, and depending on how tonight went, Kelly knew she might want the excuse to not have to participate in another orgy.

"Okay, so... after homecoming... The Ren Faire the following weekend?' Kelly asked, going back to the agenda.

"Actually, I have a quick interjection." Selene said, raising her hand.

"Of course." Kelly nodded. Her tone was neutral, but something in it hinted toward resignation.

Kat looked between the two, but Kelly ceded the discussion to Selene with a gesture, and Selene seemed to take it at face value.

"Arthur's mom invited Kat and I to brunch on Sunday." Selene explained. "I was thinking maybe all of us should go. All of Arthur's girlfriends."

"Is that a good idea?" Kelly asked. "Does Arthur want his parents to know he's renting the house to his girlfriends?"

"I think they know something's up." Kat interjected. "But... I don't see any reason to try and hide it from them. We're still paying rent and paying it to them in the lease, not Arthur. So it's not like we'll try to pay our rent with pussy."

Rani snorted again.

"Could be a fun roleplay scenario, though." Selene suggested.

Kat rolled her eyes, but her smile suggested she'd thought of it too.

"I can make it work if she's okay with it." Kelly added. "But with Saturday being so full, I can't lose all of Sunday too, so it'd need to be just brunch. Not brunch and an orgy."

"Ah, so you're the responsible one." Rani commented. "But same. I've got homework."

"It wouldn't be an orgy." Selene assured her. "Just us and Arthur's mom. Arthur would be... absent."

Mindy's eyes lit up. "Does she have pictures of young Arthur? Embarrassing haircuts? That kind of thing?"

Selene nodded with a giggle.

"Perfect." Rani said with a smirk. "Blackmail material."

"So we can all make Sunday brunch with Arthur's mom work?" Kelly asked.

Mindy hesitated. "Might depend on the time." She said. "My parents aren't going to let me miss church." She wasn't particularly into it, but it was a big deal to her parents, and so long as they were paying for school, she had to abide by their rules. Another reason they couldn't find out she was dating Arthur, much less bi or in a poly-relationship. They were old and out of touch. She had no hope of them understanding anything.

"Just tell them you already spent enough time on your knees with Arthur." Rani suggested, causing the other women to laugh, but Mindy shook her head.

"What time do you get out?" Selene asked, going into 'make it work' mode.

"Service is at nine. So, it'd be over by ten. I'll be home by, like, eleven?" Mindy suggested.

"Can you drive right to Arthur's parents' house?" Selene asked. "Meet us there at eleven-ish?"

"Sure." Mindy nodded. "Is that okay with his mom?"

Selene nodded. "She asked me what time worked best, and I haven't answered yet. I'll let her know eleven if that works best for everyone."

"Works for me." Rani shrugged. "Kelly?"

"I can make that work so long as it's over by one." Kelly answered.

"Well, if you drive separately, you can leave whenever you need to, even if we're not finished." Selene suggested.

Kelly nodded. Not that she wanted to leave if the brunch wasn't over, but she would have to if it wasn't over by twelve. She was still a little flustered that Selene seemed so friendly with Arthur's mother. She was actually a little nervous to meet his parents. She wanted them to like her, but how would they react to all this? Would they think she was just a slut and not good enough for their son? Would they approve of her? Or worse, would they prefer one of his other girlfriends? What if they liked Selene more than her, and Arthur and Selene ended up being-

Kelly took a deep breath. This was why she'd said she wanted to keep things casual. She knew herself. She knew she'd get too invested and anxious about everything that came with being Arthur's girlfriend. His real girlfriend. She'd known Arthur for years. If she let it go beyond casual dating, it would be years of her life split between him and her career. She loved the idea of being a housewife and not having a career, but that wasn't an option. Everyone knew that.

So, for Kelly, it was a fantasy. A fantasy she enjoyed playing out with Arthur, sure, but a dream all the same. She had to accept it would never be a reality. So his mother's opinion wouldn't matter. It wasn't like Kelly and Arthur would ever get married, especially if he had his pick of these other women. He'd probably marry Selene when all was said and done; she just had to accept that. Or maybe they'd still all be together in one big polycule after graduation.

Kelly could project confidence on the outside whenever she talked about it, but right then, she felt weak. She had a solid outer appearance, but inside? She felt like a mess.

"You okay?" Kat asked, and it took Kelly a moment to realize that the other girls were looking at her.

"Yeah." Kelly nodded. "Sorry." She shook her head. "Where were we?" She asked.

"Brunch Sunday. You and I are driving separately. Selene and Kat are picking up Rani on their way to the house." Mindy read off the notebook she still had in her lap.

"Perfect." Kelly nodded. "Okay. So what is next on the agenda?"

Mindy turned the page of her notebook back for a moment and read it off. "The renaissance faire." Mindy responded as she returned to the current page. "Which I've never been to before." She explained. "So... how does this work? Do we go in costume?"

"You can go in costume." Selene explained. "But you don't have to."

"Are you going in costume?" Kelly asked.

Selene nodded. "I was going to let Arthur choose, but I'd like to go as an elf slave girl."

"An..." Kelly hesitated. "An elf slave girl?"

Selene nodded more enthusiastically this time. "I've got a chainmail bikini and some elf ears; add some chains for bracelets and anklets, and -bam- all set."

"I've got a nobility outfit." Kat said. "A dress I bought online. It's modest."

Mindy pulled her phone out.

"I can always wear a sari or something. It's more European-based, right?" Rani asked.

"Yeah." Selene nodded. "But everyone's welcome, and they have people from all over working there. It's more about the fun than any kind of historical accuracy."

"Especially if they have elves." Kelly commented with a slight smile.

Selene smiled. "Right."

"Could I go as a djinn?" Rani asked. "A genie?"

Selene shrugged. "I don't see why not."

Rani looked thoughtful for a moment, forming the costume in her head. "Are we going, like, in character? Is it a larp?"

"It's not really a larp." Kat shook her head. "But some people do accents, that kind of thing. The workers there take on characters, but the visitors are just visitors."

"Hmm..." Rani considered.

"Could I go as a mermaid?" Mindy asked.

"How would that work?" Kelly asked.

"I don't know." Mindy shrugged. "She's going as an elf." She pointed at Selene. "And Rani's going as a djinn." She pointed at Rani. "Maybe we can all go as different mythological creatures?"

"Like a theme?" Selene asked.

"I guess I could add some makeup to my noble costume. Go as a vampire since we're so close to Halloween." Kat shrugged.

"Hmm." Kelly said thoughtfully. "I'll have to do some research, I think."

"You should go as Red Sonja." Selene suggested.

"Ooo. Yeah." Rani agreed. "You could put the bi in bikini armor."

All of them laughed at this, though Kelly knew she didn't have any such costume.

"I was thinking more like a corset and a skirt. I have those." Kelly suggested.

"That could work." Selene suggested. "Add a hat, and you could be a pirate Queen."

"I like that." Kelly agreed. "Though, it doesn't fit your mythological theme."

"How do you feel about body paint?" Selene asked.

"I have no strong feelings about body paint." Kelly laughed. "Never really thought about it before."

"Well, if you wanted to do a different race like in D&D, you could use green body paint to make yourself a half-orc or some red or purple body paint to make yourself a tiefling."

"Hmm." Kelly pulled out her phone this time, but after a quick Google, she found something decent. "Yeah. I can be a half-orc or tiefling pirate queen." She agreed. "Leaning half-orc, though, so I don't have to deal with horns or a tail."

"Perfect." Selene said. "You've got an athletic body, too. You could pull off the bikini armor if you wanted to."

"Maybe next time." Kelly said. "I don't have any bikini armor, but green body paint is on Amazon." She considered it for a moment as she browsed on her phone.

Mindy still looked undecided. "What's the medieval equivalent of a secretary?" She asked the room.

Selene shrugged. "A clerk?"

Mindy frowned. "Hmm."

"What happened to your mermaid idea?" Rani asked. "With those tits, you'd look great in a bikini top."

Mindy smirked at Rani. "But I wouldn't be able to walk around in the tail."

"Arthur could pull you in a wagon or something." Kat suggested.

"Do we have a wagon?" Mindy asked. Mermaids had been her favorite mythological creature since she was a kid. Personally, she blamed Disney.

"I don't." Kat shook her head apologetically. She didn't have anything like that in her and Selene's apartment. Neither did anyone she knew.

"I'll find a dress that works." Mindy assured them. "Maybe I'll go as something witchy. Arthur seemed to like the goth look on me."

"Ooo." Selene said brightly. "Yeah, you'd look great in something dark and skimpy."

Mindy giggled, already shopping on her phone.

"Are we aiming for sexy?" Kelly asked. "This is a family thing, right?"

"Yeah, during the day." Selene nodded. "But it's kind of like beach rules. So long as you're not showing anything other than skin, you're probably fine."

"Hmm." Kelly hummed thoughtfully. "Okay, so... Mindy is going as a witch. Selene is going as an elf slave girl. I'm going as a half-orc pirate. Kat is going as a vampire noblewoman. And Rani is going as a djinn." She looked between the girls, who all nodded and confirmed the plan as she came to their turn.

"What's Arthur going as?" Rani asked.

"I think the better question is, what do we want to suggest Arthur go as?" Kat hinted. "I think Selene already had some thoughts on that."

Kelly raised an eyebrow, and the girls looked at Selene with curiosity until she blushingly told them what she'd mentioned in passing to Kat earlier.

"I thought maybe he could go as a barbarian. Like... a leather loincloth or something." Selene suggested. The idea of her elf slave costume pairing with Arthur being her barbarian master was attractive to her.

"Think he'll do it?" Rani asked.

"He will if we ask nicely." Kat assured her.

"Who gets to ask him?" Rani looked at Selene, who turned to look at Kelly.

"You want me to ask him?" Kelly sounded as surprised as she looked.

"Maybe you could bring up harem business with him when necessary?" Selene suggested. "Be the..." She trailed off.

"Team captain." Mindy suggested.

"Wife." Rani said simultaneously.

Kelly considered it a moment and took a deep breath. She had no objections to Arthur dressed in as little as possible and wearing something so... masculine. But it didn't really pair with her costume or anyone else in the group besides Selene. If he dressed as a pirate king or something, it'd match her outfit more, though it would admittedly be more modest. A wizard costume would match Mindy's, and a nobleman costume would match Kat. Maybe she could tweak her costume idea to better match Arthur's. Maybe a half-orc barbarian woman was a better costume than a lady pirate.

"Alright." Kelly said with a nod. "I'll ask him."

Mindy gleefully made a note in her notebook. She, too, was thinking of ways to make her witch costume more fitting to a barbarian theme. Maybe some witchy henna tattoos? She wondered what Arthur would think.

"Do we want our costumes to be a surprise to him?" Kat suggested.

Selene immediately shook her head. "I don't wear anything without his approval."

Kat scoffed. Mindy blushed. Rani looked intrigued. Kelly just shook her head softly. Of course, she wore things for his benefit, too, but to get his approval beforehand? She tried to picture it and daydreamed of sorting through her closet with Arthur sitting on her bed as she held each outfit up against her lingerie-clad body and waited for his decision on whether it was sexy enough for her to wear for him. The idea was hotter than she'd expected.

"What if he wants you to wear a set of pasties and a thong to the fair?" Kat teased Selene.

Selene stuck her tongue out at Kat. "You know I'd wear it." She said. "I might not be as hot as Kelly, but I'm hot enough to pull that off."

Kelly pressed her lips together and looked down at her knees at the compliment. She wasn't sure how to respond to it, so she didn't. This whole ordeal had her very confused and feeling pulled in many different directions.

"So no on not telling Arthur then." Rani surmised. "Should we get his approval? Show him the costumes before the faire and maybe give him a little fashion show?"

Kat scoffed. "Only if you want jizz on your costume."

Kelly and Rani made the same face of ick at being seen in public with cumstains on their clothes. Mindy and Selene both made the same face that was altogether different from that one. Kat laughed.

"So wear the costumes the day of." Kelly cut in.

"How much is the fair, by the way?" Rani asked.

At this question, Selene looked a little worried. "Between food, passes, and souvenirs, you can expect to spend about a hundred dollars."

Mindy groaned, and not in a good way.

"It's not that bad." Kat insisted. "It's thirty to get in."

"And we can pack lunches." Kelly insisted. "That'll save us some money."

"True." Rani nodded. "And breakfast at the cafeteria."

"And dinner at home?" Mindy asked.

"Takeout, probably." Selene nodded.

"I know a cheap Asian takeout place." Mindy suggested, prompting Rani, Kat, and Selene to laugh. Kelly looked like she missed the joke.

"Mindy's parents own a restaurant." Selene explained.

"Oh!" Kelly exclaimed. "Okay. Cool."

"So is that the faire all settled then?" Rani asked.

Mindy nodded, making notes.

"What's next?" Kelly asked Mindy since she'd written the agenda down.

"Fall break." Mindy answered. "It's the Monday and Tuesday after we would go to the Ren Faire." She explained.

"I think Arthur plans on moving from the apartment to the house over fall break." Kat piped up. "Which reminds me. Has anyone been slut-shamed yet about being in a poly relationship with Arthur?" She asked. "He and I have a bet going." She explained. "If one of us gets slut shamed, he has to do all of our packing for us." She gestured between herself and Selene.

"Kinda." Mindy answered. "It was suggested that I'd be a slut if I slept with another guy, even though we're open. No one's really said anything rude about it to me, though. Most people have been more curious than anything else." She admitted.

"Same." Selene shrugged. "Though I think one of the girls in the theater club slut-shamed Arthur. She didn't say anything directly but started treating him like he had some kind of disease when she found out he was dating the five of us." She gestured between them.

"Her loss." Rani shrugged. "No one's said anything nasty to me unless you count Sanjay."

"Have you heard anything else from him?" Selene interjected. "He kind of disappeared after Monday, right?"

"Haven't seen him." Rani confirmed. "But I don't have any classes with him, and I'm not sure what his schedule is. He's probably sulking, trying to avoid me."

"Good." Mindy spat.

"So... no, I don't think we have been slut-shamed yet." Kelly answered Kat.

"Damn." Kat shook her head. "Well, let me know as soon as possible in one of the chats if you do. I've got a few days left before the bet's over."

"Will do." Mindy assured her. "I'm sure my religious roommate will have something condemning to say about it as soon as I sleep in my dorm room again." She shrugged a little sheepishly, and a silence fell over the room.

"So..." Kelly interjected. "Fall break?"

"Oh, right." Selene nodded. "Helping Master move." She said with a raised hand. "Did any of you have plans for it already?"

"Working for my parents." Mindy admitted.

"Homework and maybe a movie marathon." Rani shrugged. "That's my usual Fall break plan."

"Packing, maybe moving." Kat answered.

"Katelyn and I are headed to her family's cabin that Saturday." Kelly admitted. "But we should be back on Tuesday morning."

"Oo, nice." Selene smiled. "That sounds fun."

"It'll be a nice chance to relax." Kelly sighed. "It was initially going to be her and Sean, but since they broke up, I got invited."

They all nodded. "Anything fun to do up there?" Kat asked.

"Not a blessed thing." Kelly laughed. "It's in the middle of nowhere. So we're taking our homework, books, and hiking gear."

"Be safe." Rani warned.

"Oh, we are." Kelly nodded. "We've done this kind of thing before."

"So Kat and I are the only ones around Monday and Tuesday?" Selene asked, not hopefully, but almost as though she were disappointed.

The other girls looked at each other and nodded. "Yeah." Kelly said apologetically.

"No fall break orgies for you." Rani teased, which made Mindy giggle.

"She'll find a way." Kat warned with a laugh.

"That reminds me-" Kelly interjected. "Dates with Arthur. We're rotating them, right? I have one scheduled with him for Friday night. We've got our group date to homecoming on Saturday... is anyone going out with him on Sunday?"

"It would be Rani's turn." Selene pointed out.

"Is it?" Rani asked. "I just had a date with him last Sunday."

"No, I had a date with him last Sunday." Mindy corrected her gently. "You just joined in at the end."

"Fair." Rani shrugged. "I guess we could do something, but it'd have to be a homework date or something, with like... actual homework getting done. Because I have a lot of homework to do."

Mindy nodded. "I'll add you to his calendar."

"And then who is next?" Kelly asked.

"Well, if we keep the rotation we had before, I guess it'd be Concubine, Whore, myself, Brat, and then you again, Mistress." Selene gestured to each of them as she called their nicknames. "With group dates probably breaking things up out of availability."

"We'll have to talk to Arthur about it, obviously." Rani interjected. "I'm sure he has homework, too."

The girls all nodded and agreed in a chorus of general agreement.

Kat nodded. "So what's next?"

"Halloween." Mindy answered.

"Oh, I-." Kelly and Selene started to say something, but then both stopped to let the other talk. Then, neither did, so they both started up again. "Well, I-" they cut off.

Kat elbowed Selene. "Let Kelly go first. She's supposed to be running this thing, right?"

Kelly shook her head. "No, go ahead, Selene."

"You can speak first, Mistress." Selene insisted.

"I'm not-" Kelly protested. "I mean, we're all equal, right? I'm not... I'm not really your Mistress. I don't have more authority here than anyone else, right?"

"I know." Selene said. "I just thought..." She hesitated. "You know, equal in value, separate in role, remember? Your role is to run the household, right? Think of me as part of the household staff. I'm Arthur's slave, but as his wife, you have a certain authority, too." She explained.

"Over me, too." Mindy suggested. "I'm just the secretary."

"I'm the concubine." Rani piped up. "So... I don't think that really gives you any authority over me, but I guess you are above me in the pecking order."

The others were all looking at Kelly with what she perceived as a mixture of anticipation and worry. Kelly was still trying to navigate this role of Mistress that Selene assigned her. She didn't want to upset Selene or anyone here. She just wasn't used to all this. And they all agreed they would be equal, didn't they? They were all Arthur's girlfriends, equally. She called herself wifey in the chat, but that was because everyone else was taking nicknames, and she didn't want to call herself something degrading. She didn't mean for it to suggest that she had a more significant share in Arthur than anyone else. Or that she was supposed to exercise authority over them. Still, treating Arthur's Slut and Whore like members of a household staff she managed for him was admittedly a hot idea.

Finally, she stopped frowning and raised her hands. "I don't mind if you want to call me Mistress, but just Kelly is fine." Kelly said. "Honest."

"Okay." Selene nodded. "Kelly, do you want to say what you wanted to say about Halloween?"

"Oh, sure." Kelly said quickly, getting back on track and not thinking about playing wife. "I was just going to say that I'm babysitting that night, so I won't be around."

"Babysitting?" Mindy asked, surprised.

"Yeah, you know Professor Morris?" Kelly asked.

"Yeah." Kat nodded. "Had her last year."

"She sometimes pays me to babysit her kids so she and her wife can go out. They have a Halloween party to go to that night, so I'm going to stay and watch the kids and the house after trick or treating." Kelly explained.

"Aw." Mindy protested. "But... what if we wanted to throw a party?"

"Well, that was going to be my suggestion." Selene smiled at Mindy. "I thought maybe, if Arthur's moved into the house by then, the harem could throw a private Halloween party for the group of us."

"You still can." Kelly assured her. "I just won't be able to make it."

"I don't know." Rani shook her head. "It doesn't seem right to have a harem party without one of us there, right?" Rani asked. "And this is Mindy's first college Halloween. We should either host a party open to all or slut it up and go to some rager on Frat Row." She suggested. "Or party hop."

"That I can miss without feeling bad." Kelly chuckled slightly. "Definitely not my scene."

"Mine either." Kat nodded.

"What if we went trick or treating together before Kelly had to babysit?" Mindy suggested. "I always used to hit up the neighborhoods nearby anyway. The houses closest to the campus give out king-sized candy bars."

"That could be fun." Selene nodded. "And then we can split off and do our own things?"

Rani nodded in agreement to that. "But who gets Arthur?"

"Well, I can't take him babysitting with me." Kelly shrugged, even though she imagined Arthur would be great with those kids. "So that's up to you four."

"I'll probably spend the night at home." Kat said. "Maybe handing out candy at the new house?" She looked at Selene, who looked thoughtful at that. If they were moving this month, they would be there by Halloween. Kat wasn't the party type, and by Halloween weekend, she'd probably be dying for a lovely, quiet evening at home with all the plans they'd made leading up to it.

"I'll do whatever Arthur wants me to do." Selene shrugged.

"Me too." Mindy nodded. "I wouldn't mind having him looking out for us if we're going to any of those frat parties, honestly."

"Not the worst idea I've ever heard." Rani admitted as she sat back and considered it. "Okay. Yeah. I guess that means the four of us would be going out?"

"If Arthur wants to." Selene nodded.

"Who should ask him?" Rani asked, and they all looked at Kelly again.

"I'm not even going!" Kelly protested. "You ask him." She gestured at Mindy. "I'm sure he'll be happy to accompany you."

Mindy smiled slightly. "Do you three have costume ideas?" She asked. "I've been looking forward to my first college Halloween party." She admitted. "I think I have too many costume ideas, really."

"I had one..." Selene admitted. "But I-"

"-was going to let Arthur choose for you." Kat interrupted. "We know."

Rani chuckled.

Selene rolled her eyes.

"What was the costume?" Mindy asked out of curiosity more than anything else. "Or were you going to re-use the elf costume again?"

"I was thinking of a catsuit." Selene admitted. "Like... a full latex bodysuit." She clarified. "I saw one at the store Arthur took me to and thought it looked hot. It could make an easy Catwoman costume."

"Nice." Mindy gave her a smile. "I was thinking of a schoolgirl outfit. Kinda lame, I guess, but sexy."

"Definitely sexy." Rani nodded. "But not exactly a costume, is it?"

"Well, what should I go as?" Mindy asked.

"What have you always wanted to go as but knew your parents would throw a fit?" Rani asked.

"Princess Leia." Mindy admitted without even having to think about it for too long. She knew immediately what outfit she wanted to wear every year, but it was off-limits, even if it was just as cliche as a schoolgirl outfit. "The golden bikini."

Rani scoffed. "You'd look amazing in that outfit, but it's a little..." She hesitated.

"Stereotypical?" Kat suggested.

"Yeah." Rani nodded. "Not a very original costume idea."

"Well..." Mindy hesitated. "I don't know. I just... my brother and I used to watch those movies a lot, and I loved them, and Leia is an icon. That whole bit with her in the bikini... was hot as heck. Helped me realize I like women too, y'know?"

Selene interjected. "And no one here is judging you for it." She gave a glare to Rani. "We're here to support one another, and no one here will look down on you for wanting to dress up like a slave girl. Right?" She asked the others pointedly.

"I guess not." Rani shrugged.

"Of course, we won't look down on Mindy." Kelly interjected. "You can wear whatever you want for Halloween. Or whatever Arthur wants if you're into that." She glanced at Selene, who smirked a little.

"Okay, okay, sorry." Rani surrendered with her hands. "Let me guess." She said to Selene. "I bet you already have a slave Leia costume, don't you?"

Selene shrugged. "Not here, but I wore one in high school." She looked at Mindy. "I'd offer it to you, but I don't think the top would fit. You're a lot bigger than I am." She pushed her breasts up to illustrate, and Mindy laughed.

"It's okay." Mindy assured her. "I'm sure I can get one at the mall or something. Maybe we can all go costume shopping or something? We can pick stuff out together?"

"Sounds like a plan to me." Rani admitted.

"Take Arthur along." Kat suggested. "He'd love that."

Selene's eyes practically glowed as she nodded quickly. "Yes." She said. "Next harem meeting at the Spirit of Halloween? Kelly?" She looked at Kelly.

"Well, I can't hang with you guys at Halloween, but I guess I could still use a costume." She shrugged. "Sure, I can go shopping with you guys."

"I'll go too." Kat suggested. "Might as well dress up to hand out candy."

"Perfect." Selene smiled.

"So... is there anything else on the list to discuss?" Rani asked.

"Lynn." Selene announced. "We need to figure out what the fuck we're going to do about that bitch." Selene's voice sounded sharp enough to cut someone, making Kelly and Mindy look at her like she'd grown a horn on her head. It wasn't a side of her they were used to hearing or seeing; she looked angry at even having to say the name.

"The bully?" Mindy asked.

"The bully." Selene confirmed.

"She's part of the deal with the house." Kat explained. "She's going to be living in the basement in-law suite."

"So we just ensure we're there for Arthur if he needs us." Kelly said.

"I want to try and make her move out." Selene explained.

"That sounds... aggressive." Kelly hesitated. "Like... what exactly is the story there? Do we know for sure?"

"From what Arthur's told us, they used to be friends." Kat explained. "That changed as they grew up, and by high school or maybe junior high, she had new friends who accused him of being a stalker. Arthur explained that he wasn't stalking them; he just couldn't avoid them either. They went to the same school, had classes together, that kind of thing. And they teased him for being a loser with a crush."

"And she weaponized what she knew about him." Selene added. "She broke his trust and intentionally hurt him."

Mindy looked sad. "Who could look at Arthur and think he was a loser?"

Kelly shrugged. "He didn't always look the way he does now." She said. "Not that he ever struck me as the creepy stalker type." She said quickly under Selene's glare. "But Freshman year, he had a few extra pounds on him and hadn't worked out outside of gym class." She explained. "He's worked hard for the body he has now." She'd know, after all, she'd met him and Lori in the gym Freshman year, and she'd made friends with them both. Well, more Lori than Arthur.

"I guess." Mindy shrugged. She knew that on some level, but it was strange to realize that everyone here had known Arthur longer or met him before she had. Even Rani claimed to have seen him around before, and have a class together, but Arthur didn't remember her. "So what do we do about Lynn, then? Why does she even want to live at the house?" Mindy asked.

"I've been wondering about that myself." Kat spoke up. "If she really thought Arthur was stalking her, why would she want to stay at the house with him? But from what she put in her emails, I think she realizes he never stalked her."

"Emails?" Rani asked.

"Yeah." Kat nodded. "Here, I'll ask Arthur to forward me a copy, and I'll throw it in the harem chat." She offered. She pulled out her phone and sent off a quick message.

"Why is it even a thing in the first place?" Rani asked.

"She's coming to school here next semester." Selene explained.

"Ah." Kelly nodded. "Well, that will make her unavoidable then. Especially if we carpool."

"We're not carpooling with her." Selene said with all the resolve of a swordsman drawing a line in the sand. "Especially because if we carpool, at least one of us should be giving Arthur road head." She winked at Kelly.

The girls laughed.

"Seriously though..." Selene said. "I don't think we should extend friendship to her or the benefits of living in the house. The in-law suite is hers, but everything else is Arthur's."

"And ours." Kat interjected.

Rani shrugged. "We'll play loud music and stomp around a lot." She suggested. "That'll get any downstairs neighbor to move out quick."

"Email shared." Kat said as their phones dinged with the chat notification.

They were silent while some read it for the first time, and others re-read it just to refresh their memories. Kat, for instance, had almost forgotten about Lynn with everything else on her plate until her date night with Arthur when it came up at dinner. Personally, she was all for ignoring Lynn and hoping she went away. However, Kat was also perfectly willing to back Selene in getting rid of her. Maybe if they worked together, she could keep Selene out of trouble. She was worried Selene would escalate things. The last thing Kat wanted was to have to bail her out of jail for getting into a fistfight with a girl they hadn't even met yet.

"Eh." Rani said after reading the email. "Well-intentioned, maybe. Clearly not used to having to apologize." She shook her head.

"Arthur said she's been calling and texting him. Trying to reach out." Kat announced as she read Arthur's text.

Selene looked like someone had just told her Lord of the Rings was being remade by Kathleen Kennedy.

"Chill, Selene." Kat warned her. "You can't go up and slap this girl when you meet her. You have to be civil."

The others laughed, but Selene just stuck her tongue out at Kat.

Kelly was worried about that. She hoped Selene never took a dislike to her that way. The petite woman might not pose a threat to Kelly physically in any kind of fair fight, but Selene didn't look like she would fight fair if it came down to it.

"Are we gonna have to keep you on some kind of leash around her?" Kelly asked, surprisingly innocently.

"Let Arthur handle that." Mindy piped up, setting her and Rani giggling as though there was some kind of inside joke Kelly was missing.

Kelly blushed a little. "I guess that is the kind of thing you'd do." She shook her head. "That ought to make Lynn uncomfortable and move her out pretty quick. Imagine if we're all just leashed up to Arthur when she meets us."

The harem took a few seconds to imagine it, and each reacted slightly differently. Mindy smiled brightly and relaxed on the sofa. Rani scoffed and waved off the idea. Selene had pulled her hands into fists resting on her thighs, her hands tight as she cast her eyes down, enjoying the thought a little too much, maybe. Kat just smirked and shook her head, sending her short curls bouncing. Kelly, for her part, shrugged and was thankful the suggestive mental image had changed the room's mood from the aggressive tone it had before.

"How do you think Katelyn will react to stuff like that?" Kat asked Kelly. "What would she do if she walked into the living room and Selene is all leashed up at Arthur's feet while Mindy bounces up and down on his lap?"

Kelly blushed in a thin line across her nose and the tops of her cheeks at the sudden mental image she had, though, in hers, she was standing off to the side, holding a serving tray with Arthur's drink of choice on it, watching and waiting her turn.

"I don't know." Kelly admitted. "Is... is that likely to happen?"

Mindy and Selene looked at each other briefly, then nodded enthusiastically to Kelly.

Kelly laughed. "Well, between work and classes, I don't think it'll be an issue, and if she gets a new boyfriend soon, it won't matter. She was hardly at the apartment when she was dating Sean."

"We should use the harem chat to keep each other updated anyway." Rani said thoughtfully. "Especially if any of us are having friends over, that kind of thing."

"Good point." Kelly agreed.

"Yeah." Kat nodded. "Wouldn't want to have the volleyball team walk in on you and Arthur going at it next to the pool." She said to Kelly.

"Hm... if there's a pool, is there a gym?" Kelly asked. "At the house?"

"I don't know." Kat admitted. "We got a brief tour, but we didn't see everything. I think there might be one in the pool house?"

"Can we get a tour before we all agree to move in?" Rani asked. "I mean, I'm all for moving out of the dorms at the end of the semester, but I want to be sure the rent is worth it."

"I'm sure Arthur's mom would let us take a tour. You want me to ask if we can add it to the agenda with our Sunday brunch?" Selene asked.

"I think that's a great idea." Kelly nodded. "And should we each bring something for the brunch? That way, it's not on her to cook for all of us?"

Kat nodded. "Sure. I'll bring cinnamon rolls."

"You're baking all of a sudden?" Selene asked, surprised.

"What?" Kat asked, confused. "No, a bakery around the corner makes really good cinnamon rolls."

Selene laughed. "Oh, okay. That makes more sense."

"I'll bring... Kimchi toast." Mindy decided. "My mom always makes some for Sunday breakfast. I'll ask her to make some extra." She explained.

"I'll bring muffins." Rani volunteered. "Two can play that bakery game."

"I'll bring grapefruits then." Kelly volunteered. "Help to balance out all the carbs."

"This is shaping up to be a big breakfast." Selene chuckled. "I'll bring eggs. I can get there early to make them up into omelets and get some practice using the kitchen."

"You're cooking all of a sudden?" Kat asked, surprised.

The girls laughed.

Selene rolled her eyes. "I can cook eggs!" She protested.

Kat shrugged. "It'll be a good test for the smoke detectors."

Kelly laughed but realized from Selene's glare at Kat that maybe there was some truth to the teasing. "That raises an interesting question." Kelly commented. "Chores around the house... how do we split those?"

"I'll warn you now, I'm a bit of a slob." Rani raised her hand. "But I'll do my part on whatever chore wheel we come up with."

"Well, our rooms are our space." Selene declared. "So long as you don't have old milk bowls or something in there, we're fine. Nothing that attracts bugs."

"Nah." Rani shook her head. "For me, I just leave my clothes everywhere. I have a ton of clothes, and I hate doing laundry, so I just wait until I go through them all."

"Ah." Kelly said. "Well, the house has a washer and dryer, right?" Kelly asked.

"Yeah." Selene said. "They have a whole laundry room."

"Perfect." Kelly said. "With..." She counted how many people they had and added Arthur, Katelyn, and Lynn to the tally. "Eight people, we'll have to figure out some kind of rotation, so we're not all trying to do laundry on the same day."

"And they mentioned something about a cleaning service?" Kat spoke up.

Kelly frowned. "Would we need one of those?"

"It's a pretty big house." Kat admitted. "I don't want to be the one to have to dust the rafters or scrub the bathrooms."

"But what about..." Selene hesitated. "Our privacy?"

"We'll know when they're coming." Kat assured her. "And I'm sure they'll do their thing while we're at work or class, not during the weekend when you're riding Arthur's cock with a leash around your neck."

"Saturday morning orgies, yes, please." Mindy piped up, which made Rani laugh.

"Katelyn's going to be living with us too." Kelly warned. "So... we'll sneak it in where we can, I guess." She said with a resigned sigh.

"Oh, like you're not going to be fucking him in the gym if there is one." Kat chuckled. "We're all gonna take our one-on-one time when we can get it and living together? I don't think there's any danger of Arthur going unfucked or unsucked for more than a few hours."

"Speaking of which." Rani raised her hand. "Where the fuck is he? Shouldn't he be home by now?" She checked her phone for the time.

"His class should be ending in about half an hour." Selene said. "And then he has to get here." She shrugged. "So we've got time."

"Well, is our meeting over?" Rani asked. "Do you guys mind if I do some homework while we wait for him?"

Selene shrugged. "Is there anything left on the agenda?" She asked Mindy, who checked her paper and shook her head.

"You guys want to watch a movie?" Mindy asked.

Kelly shrugged. She didn't have an answer about how they would divide the chores for the new house, but it sounded like everyone was willing to do their share. Selene didn't really have an answer about what they should do about Lynn either, but it sounded like everyone was all for trying to get her to move out. All in all, it wouldn't be much different than living with Katelyn, just with Arthur close by and hopefully willing to make some time for her when she had it available. Though, now, she was starting to think he might be too worn out by the others.

She was a little worried about how she fit in with the others. Selene seemed like she wanted Kelly to take control, but Kelly didn't want to risk upsetting the others or disrupting the equality between them all. She was thinking about changing her nickname in the chat. Would Girlfriend be better than Wifey?

"We're good for the tour." Selene declared.

Kelly looked over at her. "What?"

"Of the house." Selene held up her phone. "Arthur's mom is actually pretty excited. There's a lot of exclamation points in this text message."

Kat chuckled.

The following two hours passed by rather quickly. Kelly excused herself to use the restroom, and when she returned, Mindy, Rani, and Selene were on the couch together. Mindy and Selene were looking at something on Selene's phone, while Kat had a book in her hand, and Rani had a textbook and a notebook in her lap, working on some math homework that Kelly didn't want to bother her about.

"Kelly, we need a tie-breaker." Selene announced when she saw Kelly. "Fantasy or sci-fi?"

"Uh..." Kelly hesitated. "Depends on the fandom." She shrugged. "But movie-wise, I'm partial to rom-coms."

"Ugh." Selene rolled her eyes. "Boring."

"Hey-" Kat smacked Selene's arm playfully. "No shaming." She reminded Selene. "How do you feel about period romances?" Kat asked Kelly.

"If they're good." Kelly nodded. "I like Austen, but I prefer Emma to Pride & Prejudice."

"Yes." Kat sighed. "Thank you! I thought I was the only one."

"Like I said." Selene interjected. "Boring. No offense, Mistress."

Kelly smirked. It wasn't the first, or the last, time she'd learned of someone's dislike for her preferences in movie genres.

"Just put on whatever you're going to put on." Kat sighed. "We're all doing homework anyway."

Kelly moved over and took up a seat in front of the sofa. She pulled her laptop out of her backpack and started getting to work while Kat and Selene argued more over what to watch. Finally, they were presented with two options: an animated series called The Clone Wars or Game of Thrones. Kelly voted for Game of Thrones, though apparently everyone but Mindy had already seen it. In the end, Game of Thrones prevailed, and two episodes passed by without Kelly giving them any thought as she got engrossed in her work. It wasn't until Rani spoke up that she noticed the time.

"Where the fuck is he?" Rani asked. "Has anyone heard from him?"

Everybody checked their phones, but Selene was the first to send a message in the house chat.

Slut: Master? Is your class over yet?

They all waited to see if Arthur would start typing or if the chat would show he'd read it, but there was nothing.

"Maybe we should call him? Make sure he's okay?" Kelly suggested.

"I'm sure he's just driving or something." Selene insisted. "He never checks his phone when he's driving."

"Or his phone is dead again." Kat pointed out. "He always forgets to charge it."

"What if Sanjay or somebody was waiting for him after class?" Rani asked.

"Arthur can handle himself." Mindy insisted. "Have you seen him?"

Kelly shrugged. "I dunno." She shook her head. "Is he a fighter? I've never seen him box or anything."

"You box, right?" Rani asked.

Kelly nodded. "I've invited Arthur to spar, but he's never taken me up on it." She said. "He prefers weights and running."

"And other forms of cardio." Kat chimed in with a smirk.

Mindy giggled.

"Seriously, though... has he ever been in a fight?" Rani asked.

Selene shrugged. "I'm sure he's okay." She insisted, though her tone suggested that she believed saying it with conviction would make it true.

"Call him." Kelly suggested again. "Just call him."

Selene huffed and looked at her phone. There was still no response from Arthur or indication that he'd seen it.

"I'll call him." Kelly sighed and pulled her phone from her purse.

"No!" Selene stepped toward Kelly. "I don't want to ruin the surprise!"

"Won't he know something's up when he pulls in and sees the lights on?" Rani asked. "He's got eyes."

Kat chuckled but shrugged. "We could turn off the lights."

"We should get ready first." Mindy spoke up. "You wanted to, like, line up, right?" She looked at Selene, who glanced at Kelly, then back to Mindy and nodded.

"Yeah." Selene said. "I uh... I thought we should all strip down and line up for him. Two on each side, Kelly standing at the head of the line to welcome him home."

"I'm game." Rani shrugged. "Should we wear our collars?"

Selene nodded. "And underwear. He prefers lingerie to nudity."

Kelly nodded. She'd heard Selene say that before. "Where should we put our clothes?" She asked Selene.

"I... hadn't thought of that." Selene admitted. "In the study?" She asked, pointing toward the second bedroom door.

"He has a study?" Kelly asked.

"More like a home office, I guess." Selene admitted. "The second bedroom is smaller. It's got a desk and a bunch of bookshelves in there, and that's about it."

Kelly nodded. "Okay." She said as she stepped toward the door. "Should we keep our shoes on or go barefoot?" She asked Selene.

"Barefoot for us, shoes for you." Selene answered. "Do you have heels?"

"Not with me." Kelly admitted. "I wore flats today."

"What size are you?" Kat asked.

"Nine and a half." Kelly answered. "Wide." She added as a second thought. Wides were more comfortable, anyway. Otherwise, it depended on the shoe.

Selene and Kat shared a look, and Kat shrugged and shook her head. "Sorry." Kat said. "I was gonna offer you a pair of ours, but we're different sizes." She said.

Kelly nodded. "No worries, I'll just go barefoot." She said with an apologetic glance to Selene. She slipped into the extra room, and in a minute, she had her dress off and hung over the back of Arthur's office chair, with her shoes slipped off to the side of the door. Now, she was dressed in the underwear she'd chosen for the day. Her bra was low and plain, black, just in case it or the straps showed. Her panties weren't as fancy as she would have liked, but they were cute, black cotton with pink polka dots.

Rani came into the room behind her, ripping off her hoodie to expose a surprisingly shapely body, even if it didn't look like Kelly's. Rani was rounder at the hips and had a larger butt than the other girls, with close-set breasts facing front that were smaller than Kelly's. Her stomach was flatter than expected but with no definition to speak of. What Kelly noticed most about her was her jewelry.

Under the recently removed hoody, Rani wore a gold chain collar that looked like a dog's choker chain looped through itself with a round gold ring hanging between her breasts like a pendant. Matching it, her nipples were pierced with golden barbels, and her belly button had a decorative gold jangle held in place by her navel piercing. She bent forward and slid down her sweatpants before kicking them off to reveal a pair of purple panties that looked more like string bikini bottoms than underwear.

"I like your piercings." Kelly said with a slight smile as she moved past Rani and back into the living room.

"Thanks-" Rani said, turning to see Kelly wearing only her underwear as she passed by. Rani bit her bottom lip. "Damn, girl. Do we have to wait for Arthur?"

Kelly laughed but didn't answer as she entered the living room to find Selene. Selene had unceremoniously stripped herself down to a bright blue thong, no bra, and her leather collar around her neck. She held two other collars, one in each hand, as if trying to decide between the two.

"Which one do you think I should wear?" Selene asked Kelly as she held up a thin black collar that said SLUT across the front in rhinestones. The other looked like a more typical BDSM collar, black with stainless steel rings around it.

"Uh..." Kelly hesitated.

"Should we go with name collars or play collars?" Mindy asked, holding up her two collars as well to show Kelly. WHORE in rhinestones in the same style as Selene's SLUT collar and a white BDSM collar with a heart-shaped steel pendant hanging from a ring in the front.

Kat held up her BRAT and pink BDSM collar when Kelly turned to her, and Rani just shrugged. At least she only had one collar, the gold chain she showed off as she stepped out of the study.

"I'm not sure." Kelly answered honestly, not sure how to respond. "Is he going to tie you up tonight?" She asked.

Selene seemed to think about it momentarily and then shook her head. "Probably not? Not with all of us here."

"Go with name collars, then." Kelly decided. "We can each play our roles tonight. Slut, Whore, Brat, Concubine, and Wife." She finished with a slight smile on her face at the idea. As strange as this all was, as unfamiliar as it felt, and as uncertain as she was, she had to admit it was more than a little hot to think of herself as Arthur's wife. To think of him as the head of the household and herself as his second-in-command, the one managing the home for him while he was away.

"Does he have any aprons here?" Kelly asked, already assuming the answer was no. To her surprise, Selene nodded and moved into the kitchen to show her one that was perfect. It was simple and plain, but it covered the front of her and tied around the side suggestively, not making it immediately apparent she had nothing but her underwear on from the front. Kelly put it on and then looked around as she tied it.

"What are you looking for?" Selene asked as she fastened her SLUT collar around her throat.

"Where does he keep his whiskey?" Kelly asked as she started looking through his cabinets for glasses.

"There." Selene said as she pointed to the cupboards above the fridge.

Even Kelly, the tallest among them, had to pull over a chair to reach it, but she managed and hopped back down as Selene produced a small round glass for her to pour the whiskey into. She left the bottle on the counter and looked around again, shuffling through the cabinets as Selene went back into the living room, but a serving tray was too much to ask for, and a baking sheet just didn't have the same flair.

When Kelly returned to the living room, the others had stripped down and thrown their clothes into the study. Mindy's underwear was a surprise, as the bottoms were the least sexy of any of the girl's underwear, and they looked a little too big on her... was that a paperclip pinning the waistband in the back?

Kat's was surprisingly sexy, a matching set that seemed to be made of nothing but wisps of pink lace that showed far more flesh than Kelly would have thought the shy young woman would be comfortable with. It was a mixture of awkward and locker-room mentality as the women milled about, getting ready.

Selene was at the window, and suddenly, she dashed across the apartment and turned out the light, leaving them in darkness except for the soft ambient glow coming in through the windows from the parking lot below. "He's pulling into the parking lot now." Selene announced. "Kelly, you stand here." Selene said as she placed her hands on Kelly's delicious hips and moved her into place directly opposite the door.

It took Kelly's eyes a few moments to adjust and then another few for her to stabilize herself. She stood with the whiskey glass raised in her upturned left hand and steadied with her right gripped around the glass.

"Mindy, kneel here, across from me." Selene pointed to the other side of Kelly as she whispered quickly. "Kat, you're next to me. Rani, you're across from Kat."

"Okay, okay." Rani whispered as she sank down to her knees, doing her best to see the pose Selene was making and mimic it. Her eyes adjusted to the darkness, and she shifted how she was sitting.

And they waited. It seemed like it was taking forever. And Kelly was just about to suggest they check the window to see if it really was Arthur's car Selene saw when they heard someone on the stairs on the other side of the door. The footsteps sounded heavy, and Kelly felt her breath quicken in her chest as she waited to see Arthur open the door. She smiled, holding her head high and beaming.

The door swung open, and Arthur flicked the lights on, blinding the women gathered, who flinched at the light and whose sudden visibility and motion caused Arthur to jump back and scream, swinging more than one bag of groceries into his door.

"Holy shit!" Arthur yelled as he moved his grocery-laden arm to hold his hand over his heart. Then his eyes took in the image before him as he stood up, and his heart had an entirely different reason to race. "Holy shit." He pushed himself off the door and its frame and stepped inside before kicking the door closed with a sweep of his foot.

Kelly was the only one standing, and she was standing with her hip turned toward the door enough to see that she was only wearing a pair of panties and a bra beneath the apron she'd put on. She held a glass of whiskey in her hand like an offering, and she was smiling, though the smile had faltered a little at the scare, and concern was evident on her face.

Between Arthur and Kelly, his four other girlfriends were kneeling, all in the Nadu position (more or less). All four held squinting eyes to the woman across the small aisle they'd formed. Their backs were as straight as possible, they sat back on their heels with their toes on the floor behind them, their legs spread so far apart that their knees touched their neighbors, and their panties touched the carpet. Their hands were each laid on their thighs, palms up, and each wore a collar. Rani's was the only one out of place. The others bore their harem names: Whore, Slut, and Brat, respectively. And for clothing, each wore only their underwear in varying lingerie styles.

It was the hottest thing Arthur had ever seen, only he was having trouble appreciating it at the moment.

"Fuck." Arthur breathed. "You almost gave me a heart attack." He panted. "I thought you were meeting at Selene's?" He asked, looking at Selene.

Selene didn't answer him, but the four women on their knees kept their poses and their gazes locked. After a moment of silence, Selene's eyes flicked to Kelly, who seemed to take it as some kind of cue.

"We wanted to surprise you." Kelly said lamely. "Sorry, Master."

For some reason, Kelly's use of the title ignited his blood in the best possible way. It was always hot to hear one of his girlfriends call him Master, but Kelly didn't really use the term. She called him Mister a lot, but Master was a little too BDSM for her to use naturally. Yet hearing it roll off her tongue like that made him forget about everything but the idea of kissing her.

Arthur stepped forward to do just that and was instantly reminded of the bags of groceries clutched in his hands and looped through his arms.

"Let me help you with that." Kelly said. "Girls, take the groceries from Master and put them in the kitchen."

Selene turned her head towards Kelly, but Mindy and Rani were already getting to their feet, and Selene and Kat followed. They rose, took a bag or two each from the surprised Arthur, and ferried them into the kitchen. Still slightly dazed, Arthur watched their backsides until they turned the corner. Selene, the most familiar with Arthur's kitchen, put the groceries away.

Meanwhile, Kelly stepped forward and stopped in front of Arthur. She popped up to her toes and kissed him as she wrapped her arms over his shoulders and held the glass of whiskey behind his head. The kiss turned passionate, and then she pulled away, sliding her arms over his shoulders and bringing the glass before him.

"Welcome home, hubby." Kelly said with a smile. "Why don't you sit on the sofa there, and we'll help you get comfortable. Do you need anything? A glass of water? A snack?"

"No, I... I'm good." Arthur said, half in a daze as he followed Kelly's gentle push and stepped toward the sofa. He sat in the center and finally moved his eyes away from Kelly long enough to see what she'd given him. A glass of whiskey, two fingers, and one ice cube, the way he liked it. "More than good." He chuckled. "I... take it the meeting went well?"

"It went very well." Kelly assured him as she came to stand beside the sofa. "If you recline this way, I can rub your shoulders." She suggested.

She didn't have to tell Arthur twice. He turned and sat up against the arm of the sofa but hesitated to swing his feet up since his shoes were still on. It was at this point that Mindy, Kat, and Rani returned from the kitchen while Selene finished putting away the rest of the groceries.

"Brat? Concubine? Take off his shoes." Kelly suggested as she started rubbing Arthur's shoulders. She was beginning to enjoy this a little more than she thought she would. "Whore, why don't you read Master the meeting minutes? Let him know what we decided."

"Yes, Mistress." Mindy said as she picked her notebook up off the coffee table.

Arthur had to close his eyes as Rani and Kat approached and knelt between the sofa and the coffee table. Rani took his left shoe and started untying it while Kat took his right. Once the shoes were untied, they peeled off his shoes, and Arthur moved his legs to the sofa while the girls remained kneeling where they were, waiting for their next instruction, he supposed. Meanwhile, Kelly kept massaging his shoulders, and he had to do his best to hold back a moan from her manipulation of his sore muscles.

"Slut, Wifey, Concubine, Whore, and Brat in attendance." Mindy read. "First point of business: the group name. We have agreed to call ourselves Arthur's harem, decided by majority vote." Mindy declared.

Arthur nodded, though he'd thought they'd already decided to call themselves that with the chat and wasn't aware of the larger conversation, other options, or why it had needed to be an official vote. Still, it was hard to care with how wonderful Kelly's massage of his shoulders felt. It wasn't even sexual, but it felt even better than sex.

"Roles for each girlfriend were decided." Mindy continued. "We're equal in value, separate in role." She explained. "Mindy is the office whore, secretary for the harem, and personal assistant to Master." She continued. "Selene is Master's personal slut and sex slave."

"Yes, Sir!" Selene called out from the kitchen.

"Kelly is the wife. She runs the household for Master and directs the harem, takes the lead when needed." Mindy continued. "Like tonight."

"If that's okay with you." Kelly whispered to Arthur, who gave a silent thumbs up in response, unable to articulate a positive reaction to how relaxed he felt.

"Rani is Master's personal concubine." Mindy continued. "And Kat is Master's personal submissive and brat."

"Are there suggested differences between the slightly synonymous terms?" Arthur asked suddenly. "Or is that more... contextual?"

"Contextual." Rani answered for him. "It's just putting it down for us all to see and affirm."

"Hm." Arthur agreed.

"Friday night." Mindy continued. "Concubine, Brat, and Slut are taking Katelyn to a local bar, picking Concubine up at six at her dorm."

"Exact details with Katelyn still to be decided." Kat volunteered from her spot, kneeling beside Arthur's calf.

"It was also decided..." Mindy hesitated as Selene returned to the room and knelt beside Arthur's torso between the sofa and the coffee table, on the other side of Kat from Rani. "It was decided that we should put a freeze on new harem membership."

Arthur opened his eyes to look at Selene.

"We're still open." Mindy added quickly. "But for now, this club is closed to new membership." She explained. "To be re-examined after a month has passed."

"Okay." Arthur said, accepting their decision.

"You can overrule us." Selene said quickly, earning looks from the other girls.

Arthur sighed, a comfortable, relaxed sigh even though Kelly had temporarily stopped her massage of his shoulders. He took a sip of his whiskey and then looked for a place to put it. The coffee table needed to be closer.

"Slut, table." He commanded.

Selene only looked confused for a moment and followed to the spot where his hand pointed directly next to him. She moved quickly and took the position, her head pointed toward Arthur's head and her butt toward Kat as she took up the table pose on her hands and knees, her legs and arms straight, her back flat, and her eyes on the floor.

"I'm not going to overrule the harem's decision." Arthur said. He rested the glass of cold whiskey on Selene's back, just below her bra strap. The chill of it sent goosebumps down her spine, but she didn't flinch like Arthur expected her to. "I think it's a prudent one." He admitted. "Though I'd appreciate it if I was part of the conversation next time."

"Of course, Master." Mindy said immediately. She made a note in her notebook.

"What else did you decide?" Arthur asked. Kelly resumed massaging his shoulders, standing on her knees to the side of the couch and facing him and the arm.

"The plans for Saturday." Mindy continued. "You, Mistress, Slut, and Brat will carpool to campus, meeting up with me and Concubine in the morning to attend the fair, play the games, that kind of thing." Mindy said.

"Mistress?" Arthur asked almost absent-mindedly. The term had been bandied about a few times, but this was the first time Arthur thought enough to notice.

"They keep calling me that." Kelly said quietly. "I told them to call me Kelly. Or wifey, if we're going by chat nicknames. But eventually, I gave up."

"Hmm." Arthur said as he closed his eyes again. "Does it bother you when they call you Mistress?" Arthur asked Kelly.

"I don't know." Kelly answered honestly. "It's... kind of weird. Kind of hot. It feels like overstepping. I'm not trying to put myself above anyone else here. Honest." She said.

"We told you." Selene interrupted. "We're equal in value, separate in role, in function. Your job in the harem is to be its Mistress. To..."

Arthur cupped his hand over Selene's mouth to silence her, and she took the hint. She kissed his palm, but he didn't remove it just yet.

"Does it bother you?" He asked Kelly again.

"No, Sir." Kelly answered after a moment.

"If it does, I'll tell them not to do it anymore, and they won't." Arthur assured her.

"It doesn't bother me. I'm just... not used to it yet, I guess." Kelly admitted. "I'm worried it puts me apart from the others when I'm trying to fit in." She realized the truth of the words as she said them, verbally processing the reason for her protests. "I already am a bit of an outsider here. I don't know the others as well as they know each other. I'm not as into the bondage stuff or as experienced. I don't have a collar..."

Arthur sat up a little, which caused her to stop massaging his shoulders as he turned to look at her. He turned and kissed her, and she kissed him back.

"Kelly." Arthur said after he pulled away. "Are you willing to take on the role of my wife and run the harem when I'm not around?" He asked. "Are you willing to command the others, like you did when I first got home, taking point to ensure they are well utilized for my and their pleasure?"

Kelly hesitated, thinking it over in those terms for the first time. "Yes, Sir." She said. "If you want me to, I'll try."

"Good." Arthur smiled. "Then it looks like we've found our team captain. Still under the coach, of course, and equal to the others in a way, but distinct in function." He smirked. "Now... in that context, are you okay with the others calling you Mistress?"

Kelly seemed to think it over and nodded as she sat back on her heels. "Yes, Sir."

"Brat." Arthur turned to see Kat still kneeling at his legs. He gestured for her to approach him and whispered something in her ear. She nodded quickly and walked to the bedroom, not bothering to fix the panties that had ridden up her cheeks.

She returned a moment later with a small shopping bag and handed it to Arthur, who had swung his feet back to the floor and stood up. He walked behind Kelly after taking the bag and then dropped it onto the floor after he'd taken something out of it.

"Stand up." Arthur commanded Kelly, who rose to her feet slowly and gracefully. "I got you a necklace." Arthur explained. "Hold your hair aside?"

Kelly swept her hair to one side, gathered it in her hand, and bared her neck.

Arthur laid a choker necklace across her throat. It was different from the others. Rather than being a thin black strap with rhinestones or a wide leather collar padded and ringed for bondage, it was an actual necklace with three strands of pearls that stretched three-quarters of the way around before coming together at single points and attaching to silver chains on either end that could clasp together at adjustable lengths.

Kelly touched the necklace gently.

"Think of this as a placeholder." Arthur said. "Until I get you one with real pearls." He assured her. He clasped the necklace closed and kissed her cheek. "There, now you have a collar." He rubbed her shoulders gently. "As for getting to know the others, I'm sure that will happen with time."

"It's very pretty." Mindy commented, standing on the other side of the coffee table from them.

"Thank you." Kelly said with a slight blush. She didn't like chokers terribly close to her throat, but Arthur had clasped it at just the right length so it didn't feel tight. It felt right.

Arthur sat back on the sofa, sitting in the center. He gestured for Kelly to sit next to him, and she did. He placed his hand on the inside of her thigh, and she adjusted so that she was hugging his arm as it ran down the center of her. Her legs parted slightly, but his hand remained on her thigh.

"Where were we?" He asked Mindy.

Mindy stood directly across from Arthur and was watching him and Kelly. She stuttered back to life as she looked down at the notebook in her hands. "Uh...morning at the fair, then getting dressed for the game. Going to the game together, and then coming back here afterward for an..." She hesitated as she watched Arthur's hand start to rub Kelly's thigh as Kelly hugged his arm tighter. "For fun." She finished lamely.

"An orgy?" Arthur asked.

"Yes, Sir." Kelly whispered in his ear.

Arthur stopped rubbing her thigh for a second, leaned forward, took his drink off Selene's back, finished it, and reached over Selene to put the empty glass on the coffee table. When he settled back in, he gestured for Rani, still kneeling at the far end of the couch, to climb up. She did but remained facing him, letting his hand rub her thigh as she mirrored Kelly, hugging his arm, but her hand started rubbing his lap. Seeing this, Kelly began to rub his lap from her side, her hand occasionally bumping into Rani's as they found his member beneath his slacks and started slowly stroking it over his clothes. Their hands were stacked side by side but moving in a slow rhythm they figured out by feel.

"Brat, take off Whore's panties, please." Arthur said. "Whore, keep going. What else was decided?" He asked.

"Sunday-" Mindy paused as Kat approached her, stood behind her, and pulled her panties down. She left them pooled on the floor around Mindy's feet, then walked back over to the sofa and knelt where she'd been before.

"Sunday, we're having brunch with your mother and touring the new house." Mindy informed him. If Arthur seemed to register the news, he didn't comment. He was distracted by Kelly and Rani playing with him. He started playing with them in return, his hands rubbing them outside their panties, warming them up as the three sat on the sofa, Kat kneeling to Arthur's left and Selene still on her hands and knees in a table pose to his right.

"Then next Saturday, we're going to the ren faire." Mindy continued as she watched what was happening on the sofa. "Slut wants to go as your elf slave girl. Concubine is going to go as a genie. Brat is going as a vampire noble. I'm going as a witch. And Mistress is going as a half-orc pirate queen."

Arthur nodded. "What should I go as?" He asked the group. "A vampire lord or something?"

Kat blushed. Kelly kissed his neck, slid her hand to his zipper, and started pulling it down.

"We thought maybe you could go as a barbarian." Kelly said quietly in his ear. "A barbarian with a harem of all the women he's conquered."

Arthur raised his eyebrows for a moment, but he was in no position to argue as Rani took advantage of the opening Kelly made and pulled him out of his trousers through his zipper. She and Kelly started stroking his cock in earnest.

"What do you think, my King?" Rani asked.

"Hmm." Arthur seemed to think it over or stall to enjoy the situation. It was tough to tell. "I want to see and approve your costumes first. Then I'll decide what mine should be."

The girls looked at each other, shifting glances between them until Kelly nodded, and the others followed suit.

"Very well." Mindy nodded, making a note. "Can... can everyone just share their calendars with me?" She asked. "I'll schedule costume approval sessions for everyone."

"We should do that for Halloween too." Rani suggested.

"Don't jump ahead!" Mindy protested.

Rani raised her hand in apology as if backing away but kissed the other side of Arthur's cock, still stroking him with her hand at his base and Kelly's hand stacked above hers while Arthur kept toying and rubbing them both between the legs.

"May I suck your cock, Sir?" Kat asked, having watched the scene from her position on the floor.

"Yes." Arthur said. "Slut, you too." He said, nudging her with his knee.

"Thank you, Master." Selene and Kat said at the same time. They shuffled over on their knees until they were facing each other with his cock between them, and each started sliding up and down his length on their side, nose to nose.

Rani and Kelly stopped stroking him to let the blondes have their fun. Instead, they leaned into his arms they were hugging, pressing them against their torso and between their breasts, kissing either side of his neck, while his fingers started to slip under their panties to check their wetness, still rubbing and playing with them between their legs.

Mindy was entranced by the sight, and Arthur seemed to enjoy himself, too. "Take off your bra, Whore." Arthur had barely finished his sentence by the time Mindy obeyed, having her bra on the floor before her, her dark diamond-hard nipples in full view as she pressed her breasts together with her arms, holding the notebook at her groin with her arms straight.

"Are we carpooling to the faire, too?" Arthur asked.

"Yes, Boss." Mindy nodded.

"And an after-party here too?" He asked.

"If that's ok." Mindy suggested.

"Fine by me." Arthur leaned back, enjoying Kelly and Rani kissing his neck on either side and losing himself in the sight of the others taking turns offering his cock to one another and letting the other plunge their faces down on it. "Anything else?" Arthur groaned.

"Fall break." Mindy said. "Slut and Brat will help you move into the house. Mistress will be in the mountains with Katelyn, Concubine will be busy with homework, and I will be busy working for my parents."

"Understood." Arthur grunted as Kat and Selene started trying to outdo each other with their technique, each now taking a few strokes of his cock in their throats before the other pulled them off and demanded their turn.

"Halloween, we want to go trick or treating as a group in the afternoon. Then we'll split up in the evening." Mindy continued. "Mistress has to babysit. Brat wants to hand out candy at the new house. Your concubine, slut, and I want to party hop, and we want you to be our escort if you're willing."

"Of course." Arthur said as Rani gave a gasp. His finger-work on her clit and hooking his middle finger into her was starting to produce results that were making Kelly and Rani sloppy with the kisses they were trying to give to his neck.

"We'll schedule a group date before Halloween to go costume shopping." Mindy stated. "Once everyone shares their calendars with me." Mindy reminded everyone. She was starting to feel a little put out that she was the only one not getting or giving any pleasure or attention.

"Anything else?" Arthur asked.

"Kelly and Katelyn will try and move in Thanksgiving weekend." Mindy surmised. "Rani and I will move in after finals are over." She added. "And we've all agreed to try and annoy Lynn into moving out." She said quickly, eager to finish the last item on the list so she could join in the fun.

"Wait, what?" Arthur asked as if coming out of a daze. He sat up a little bit, at which Rani and Kelly protested strongly enough they each took a shoulder, pressed him back against the couch, and wiggled their hips to remind him what he was supposed to be doing.

"Well, none of us want Lynn living at the house, and we don't want her to bother you or make you unhappy, so we're going to try and convince her to move out, one way or the other." Mindy explained as if it should be obvious.

"Just leave it to us, Master." Selene piped up as Kat took her turn sucking on his cock.

Arthur swallowed hard, as did Kat.

"We'll fix that bitch for you." Selene finished.

Arthur picked up his pace on Rani and Kelly, who moaned in an unexpected chorus.

Mindy was biting her lip, dancing from foot to foot, but finally, she gave in and groped herself with one hand, fingering herself with the other. She couldn't help it. All the sights and sounds coming from the couch were just too hot to resist, and all she wanted to do was jump over the coffee table, mount Arthur, and fuck him while he sucked her breasts.

Rani came first. She bit down on Arthur's neck and came with a sudden violent tremble that forced her to roll up like a ball around Arthur's hand before letting go of his neck and flexing out with her legs as she fell back against the sofa.

Arthur came next, exploding into Kat's throat, mouth, then spattering her face, then Selene's face, and finishing the rest in Selene's mouth as she sucked the rest out of him and drank him dry.

Kelly came third, watching Arthur unload on Kat, then Selene, and making eye contact with Selene as she swallowed the rest of him. Meanwhile, Arthur's palm ground against her clit just the right way. She bucked her hip against it and came, curling into herself, pressing her nose into Arthur's neck, and clutching his rock-hard arm for dear life as she rode it out.

The three of them lay on the sofa until Arthur collected his breath.

"I appreciate the solidarity." Arthur brought the conversation back. "Really, I do." He assured them. "I've been thinking about it a lot, and as much as I might like us to kick her out of the house, I don't want anyone getting into fights or carrying out vendettas." He explained. "I was actually thinking of meeting with Lynn before she moves in. Trying to work things out with her. She's been..." Arthur stopped when he realized how Kat and Selene were looking at him, though the harsh nature of their glares undermined somewhat by the cum on their faces. "What?" He asked.

"She's wearing you down." Kat protested. "She keeps messaging you even after you don't respond to try and manipulate you into forgiving her."

"And you shouldn't." Selene insisted. "Not with what she's done to you."

"Selene." Arthur protested. "I know what she did. What she's done. But if I want to meet with her to discuss things-"

"Then we should be there too." Selene interrupted. "All of us. Right girls?"

"Selene." Arthur warned.

"Master." Selene responded, though her failure to use his name undermined her argumentative tone, making Arthur laugh.

"She has a point, Sir." Kelly said. "Last time you met this girl face to face, you lost your temper, right?"

Arthur hesitated.

"Then we should meet her as housemates. And whatever you two have to say to each other, she can say in front of us. If she can admit to being in the wrong and a bully in front of us, you know it's genuine." Kelly suggested.

"And we can give you our objective opinions of her." Rani suggested. "Well, some of us, anyway." She glanced at Selene. Objectivity about Arthur was not Selene's strongest attribute.

Arthur sat back on the sofa and sighed. Arguing with one girlfriend was bad enough. He knew he could not win an argument with five simultaneously, even if they were supposed to be submissive to him. He didn't want to play the 'Master' card that way, and besides, he knew there was a chance it was good advice. He just didn't want to hear it at the moment.

"Okay." He relented. "But until then, can we put any vendettas or sabotages on hold?" Arthur asked.

The girls nodded.

"Selene?" Arthur asked. "I need to hear you say it."

Selene sighed. "I swear, as your slave, that I will not carry out any vendettas, sabotages, or violence against Lynn without your permission."

"Or Pranks." Kat added, which earned her a glare from Selene that made everyone realize she'd found the exact loophole Selene had planned to use.

"Or pranks." Selene practically spat the words.

Arthur relaxed. "That's good enough for me." He patted Rani and Kelly on their thighs and started moving forward. "Now, let's get you two cleaned up." He nodded to Selene and Kat.

"I can take care of them, Master." Mindy interjected. "You rest. Recover your strength."

"Would you like anything to drink?" Kelly asked as she started sitting up again.

"No, I'm okay." Arthur said with more confidence than he really felt. "All I'd really need to go again is for you to take off your bras." He chuckled. Kelly reached behind her, as did the others, except Mindy, who'd already taken hers off, and they all took their bras off.

As for 'cleaning up' Kat and Selene, it seemed Mindy had an unconventional idea as to how. She licked the cum off Selene's face slowly, teasingly, and Arthur watched, forgetting all about Lynn and their disagreement just a few moments ago as the blood flowed back into him. He wasn't sure if Kat would let her do it, and for a moment, it looked like she wouldn't, like she was going to hold Mindy off and protest that she just needed a towel or a washcloth, but Mindy whispered something in her ear, and then she let her.

Arthur's full attention was on the trio of women, so he didn't even notice when Rani reached over and started stroking him again. He was already halfway hard, and she had him back to full strength in a few strokes.

"Wifey and I had our fun." Rani spoke up. "Which of your women do you want next, my King?" She asked. "Would you like to fuck your brat, your whore, or your slut?"

He'd say this for these women: they really committed to the roleplay once things got going. Arthur looked at Mindy, Kelly, and then the three women standing on the other side of the coffee table. "God, I want to take you all to bed, but we'd never all fit." He sighed.

"Whom would you like?" Kelly asked him, kissing his neck again. "If you had to pick one of us to bed tonight."

Arthur closed his eyes as Kelly gently bit his neck and squeezed his cock in her hands, his toes curled and his foot flexed, making him realize she wanted him to pick her. On his other side, Rani was making a similarly persuasive argument. Across the coffee table, Kat, Mindy, and Selene had each taken up the nadu position, showing themselves off for him, and he could see the glistening on the inside of their thighs as they watched Rani and Kelly work on him.

"Pick me, Master." Selene begged. "I want you to fuck my ass before you let me sleep tonight."

"No, pick me, Master." Mindy protested. "I want to fall asleep with your cock inside me and wake up to you fucking me."

"Pick me, Master." Kat said hesitantly as if trying to think of something sexy to say that would top the other two. "I... I want to practice riding you until I pass out."

"Pick your concubine, my King." Rani suggested. "And you can tie me to your bed and fuck my ass until you pass out."

"Pick your wife." Kelly whispered. "I'll show you why I'm worthy."

Arthur groaned. Having to pick between his girlfriends felt cruel as if he would be intentionally singling one of them out as his favorite. He felt closest to Selene, but should that mean he should pick her? Should he choose at all, or was this some kind of test they'd devised to see if he would treat them all equally?

"I won't choose." Arthur shook his head. "Slut, bring the blankets from the bed, lay them on the floor there." He pointed to the empty space to the right of his living room area in the rectangular main room. "I'm going to try to make as many of those requests come true as possible."

Rani and Kelly squeezed his cock, signaling he'd made the right choice.

Arthur stood, momentarily tearing himself away from them, though they soon followed when he motioned for them to follow him. Selene came out of the bedroom with as many Queen-sized blankets as she could carry, and she laid them out on the floor one by one, stacking the three he owned with the freshest one on top.

"Fetch some pillows, too." He told Selene, who gathered as many as she could find, two, and brought them to the makeshift bed.

Arthur laid down on it with his head against the pillow. "Wife, strip, then come lay beside me." He patted the spot to his right.

Kelly took off her panties first, leaving them on the floor, then she took off the apron and laid down next to Arthur on his right side, curling up against him, propping herself up on her arm, and giggling a little when he turned to face her and sucked her breast into his mouth. His tongue against her nipple made her legs rub together, and she closed her eyes and enjoyed the sensation as the others watched. She felt their eyes on her even with closed eyes, but she didn't mind. It was actually kind of intoxicating to know they were watching. She gently placed her hand on Arthur's sculpted chest and traced patterns on his skin with her fingernails.

Arthur finally looked away from her and patted the spot to his left after gesturing to Rani, who followed Kelly's example. She stripped off her panties, laid down beside him, scooted up, and let Arthur kiss, nibble, suck, and tongue her nipples, though she had smaller breasts to offer than Kelly's. Rani's were close-set and athletic - more muscular at the top and rounder at the bottom than anywhere else, with her nipples sticking straight forward rather than down. Kelly's were bell-shaped, round everywhere and longer, with her nipples at the very end pointing down and forward like the tops of bells.

Even so, Arthur seemed to enjoy them both equally before he looked up at Kat, whose eyes, along with Mindy's and Selene's, were on his flagpole cock. "Alright Brat." Arthur said from the floor. "Whore and Slut, help her get into position. Then let her ride me until she cums, or passes out, whichever happens first." Arthur instructed.

Mindy smiled as she took Kat by the hand and led her forward. Selene followed suit and took Kat's other hand, and they led her so that she was standing over Arthur's waist. Then Kat slowly squatted down as she held on to Mindy and Selene's hands for support.

"Guide me in, Concubine." Arthur commanded Rani, who curled up and took hold of his length at the base, aiming him until his tip parted Kat's lower lips. He slid into her wet folds easily despite his girth.

"How does she feel, my King?" Rani asked before kissing behind Arthur's ear.

"She should do more squats." Kelly commented, not necessarily sexily, just observing how awkward Kat looked, doing what was essentially a catcher's squat with her feet on either side of Arthur's hips.

"Perhaps you can create a personal training regimen for my harem." Arthur scoffed. "So they can perform when called upon."

"Oh my god, yes." Selene said enthusiastically. She bit her lip and nodded furiously as Kat worked her way up Arthur's shaft a little and then back down.

"I can do it just fine." Kat spat. "It's just hard to balance." She said, clawing at Mindy's arm as she started to tip before she sank back down, not taking all but most of Arthur into her. "And at this angle, it's just..." She gasped. "A little tough..." She protested but then moaned as Arthur bucked his hips a little, pushing himself further into her.

"Try and ride a little harder." Arthur suggested. "I like watching what it does to your breasts."

Kat blushed furiously as she felt the eyes of the girls and Arthur watching her. Even Selene and Mindy, who were holding onto her arms for support, seemed enthralled by watching her ride Arthur. Kelly's eyes were arrested on watching Arthur disappear into Kat, and she was absently playing with herself by rubbing near her clit in slow circles with the pad of her middle finger.

"Fuck her hard, husband." Kelly whispered in her ear. "Make her pass out from the pleasure."

If Arthur hadn't already cum so many times today, he might have blown just from how hot it was to hear Kelly's husky whisper goading him on to fuck someone else as they all watched. It was a little daunting for both of them, performing with this much of an audience, but the girls all seemed eager like they were enjoying watching as much as they were enjoying receiving it themselves. Maybe it was a sympathetic pleasure at watching him pleasure someone else and imagining, or remembering, their turn. Arthur didn't have time to question it.

Arthur planted his feet on the blanket behind Kat and thrust upward with his hips, impaling her as she sank down. She gasped and clutched at Mindy and Selene's hands in hers as they steadied her.

"Fuck him, Brat." Selene said loud enough for Arthur and the others to hear. "Fuck our Master."

Selene's words made Arthur twitch inside of Kat, and she leaned forward. She started pumping up and down, steadily rising and falling but still in slow beats as Arthur matched her below and thrust up every time she squatted down.

"Please, I need... let me down." Kat suggested. "Let me kneel."

"No." Selene barked, even though Mindy had already started to help Kat lower herself. "Not unless Master says it's ok." She glared at Mindy, who quickly retook her position.

"Please, Sir. May I kneel?" Kat asked.

"Alright." Arthur relented, and he watched as Kat shifted so that she was on her knees, her inner thighs pressing against his from the outside, and her body taking all of him into herself inch by inch until she couldn't take anymore.

Kat fell forward, but Mindy and Selene held her arms and caught her by them. The result was that each of them held an arm out behind her while her torso tilted forward, her round c-cup breasts hanging straight down, pointed at Arthur's chiseled torso.

Kat closed her eyes and bit her lip as she started to rock her hips, and Arthur resumed his thrusting, making her whimper. Selene and Mindy had one hand on each of her shoulders and the other on each of her wrists, holding her in a sort of wide strappado as she started to ride him.

"Fuck her, my King." Rani whispered before kissing him.

After kissing her a while, Arthur turned his head at Kelly's insistence. "Fuck her, my husband."

Arthur started to move his hips harder, spreading his legs and, therefore, Kat's a little to get more leverage.

"Fuck her, Master." Selene begged. "Fuck her so hard she begs you to stop, and then fuck her even harder."

A few of the girls looked at Selene and then watched as Arthur ramped up again, obviously egged on by her words.

"Cum for him." Mindy pleaded with Kat instead. "Feel him in you. Feel him fucking you? Feel us watching, knowing that we wish it was us instead. We all want him to fuck us so hard it washes out the world, but instead he's fucking you, and the rest of us have to wait our turn." Mindy pouted. "Ride him. Fuck him. Cum for him, like the bratty little submissive you are."

Kat gasped, moaned, and grunted as she started moving her hips faster, grinding into Arthur so hard as he thrust harder, he assumed he would have a bruise.

"Cum for me." Arthur said. "You've earned it." He encouraged her. "Remember: who am I, and what are you?"

"You are my sir." Kat panted. "And I am your-" She started shaking. "Submissive."

"Say it again." Arthur said in his commanding tone.

"You are my sir." She repeated. "And I am your submissive."

"Again." Arthur commanded, thrusting harder than before as Kat started to buck against Mindy and Selene's hold on her.

"You are my sir!" She shouted. "And I am your-!"

Arthur reached up to cup her cheek, and as his palm found her face, she cut herself off mid-sentence and screamed loud enough to wake the dead.

There was a thumping on the floor below them, but it went unnoticed as Kat's scream and orgasm drowned it out. Selene hurriedly clamped her hand over Kat's mouth, but it was useless. She was shivering, shaking, trembling, and writhed until her arms were free. She fell forward, and Arthur curled up and caught her. He slowly laid down, with Kat's limp torso pressed against him, her breasts soft, her nipples hard, her breathing ragged, and the roots of her short curly hair damp with sweat.

"Holy shit." Rani commented from beside Arthur as she looked at the two of them.

Selene and Kelly rubbed Kat's back as she twitched at the contact, but she was too relaxed to shake them off.

"That was hot." Mindy commented. "That was like..." She exhaled. "Woo."

Arthur chuckled. "Glad you enjoyed it." He said to Mindy. He patted Kat's back. "You okay?" He asked.

Kat nodded weakly. She hadn't passed out, but she was down for the count. Or at least she would have been if they'd been left undisturbed.

The sound of stomping footsteps on the landing was all the warning they received before a knock louder than anyone expected shook Arthur's front door.

The girls all jumped, and more than one of them made a noise half like a squeal that startled them out of the lusty haze they'd been so deeply mired in a moment ago.

Kat rolled off. Kelly, Mindy, and Rani stood and scampered into the second bedroom to gather their clothes. Kat, half-dazed, rolled the blankets over her to hide.

Selene skittered to behind the door, still naked, and pressed herself as flat as she could against the wall.

Arthur looked around as the knocking rang out a second time, and then he found what he was looking for. He slid on his pants sans underwear, closed and zipped them, and then opened the door a crack with the chain still pulled across it.

"Yes?" Arthur said wearily.

On the landing were a man and a woman, both in their thirties, both in a mixture of pajamas and robes that suggested they'd been lounging rather than sleeping, but they were still irate.

"Do you have any idea what time it is?" The woman hissed.

"No idea." Arthur answered far too honestly. "Is it late?"

"It's very late." The man answered. "Far too late for you to be stomping around watching porn. Or whatever you were doing."

"Fucking?" Arthur asked.

Both of his downstairs neighbors went red in the face and looked infuriated that he would use such language.

"We don't care what you were doing!" The woman barked. "But we've warned you before about the noise! If you can't keep it down, we'll file a complaint! We couldn't even hear our TV with all that banging and screaming up here."

"I'm sorry." Arthur said, though his face looked far too amused for either of his neighbors to feel that he felt sorry enough. Honestly, he was a little amused by the situation, but he didn't think his neighbors would appreciate it if he promised to make Kat wear a gag from now on.

"What's so funny?" The woman snapped.

Kelly, Mindy, and Rani emerged from the second bedroom in various states of disheveled dress without their underwear or bras, which were still on the floor. They softly stepped to where Selene was and huddled against the wall with her behind the door.

"Nothing." Arthur assured her. "I really am very sorry." He did his best to stop smiling and straighten his face. "I apologize for the noise. I'll tell them we need to keep it down. I'm very sorry to have disturbed your evening."

"No, you're not." The woman snapped. "I have half a mind to call the police on you. Those noises sounded suspicious. How do we know that girl is okay? That you're not raping some poor girl?"

Arthur straightened up. It was amazing how being accused of something like that, the very accusation of which had the power to completely destroy his life, demanded his attention and sobered his expression.

Selene saw him go rigid from behind and looked at the other women with a defiant look. She looked about two seconds away from stomping to the door and verbally assaulting Arthur's downstairs neighbors.

Kelly put a calming hand on her shoulder to hold her back.

"Would you like to hear it from her?" Arthur asked, looking over his shoulder to see the girls, except Selene and Kat, huddled in the doorway of the second bedroom.

"Yes, actually. And I want to talk to her out here on the landing. With you inside." The woman spat.

Arthur looked at the girls, but Kat wasn't with them. He looked down to see her in the blankets.

"Hold on a second." Arthur said and shut the door.

"I don't..." Kat said hesitantly as Arthur handed her the jeans she'd been wearing. Then he went into his bedroom and brought back one of his T-shirts. It was big on her, but its bagginess provided her some modesty in her braless state.

"Just tell them the truth. I'll be right on the other side of the door." He assured her.

"But..." Kat hesitated, but with an approving nod from Selene, she stepped out onto the landing. Arthur closed the door behind her but left it unlocked. He looked through the peephole, and the others came over from the other doorway to press their ears to the door.

"Uh... hi." The man started, awkwardly glancing down at Kat before his wife slapped his arm. "I'm Don. Short for Donald. This is my wife."

"Cathy." The woman supplied. "We heard some noises..." She started awkwardly. "Are you okay? Are you safe? Do you want us to call anyone?"

Kat was blushing so red Arthur thought she must be part chameleon.

"I'm fine." She squeaked. "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to make so much noise. The others were just egging us on and-"

"Others?" Don asked, looking at the door.

"Uh..." Kat looked at the door as if it might save her. "Everything's fine. Everything's consensual. I'm sorry we bothered you. I'll be more quiet. It won't happen again!" Kat practically lunged for the door as if it were going to run away.

The others all jumped back, and a stunned Cathy and wide-eyed Don were treated to a view of Selene, Kelly, and Rani, all clearly mussed up from sex in sexily disheveled clothing, and Arthur in his slacks, as the door flung open and then swung shut quickly.

There was a pause of silence, brief, but enough to let the door slam fade away into the stairwell as Cathy and Donald processed what they'd seen and been told.

"Slut!" Cathy's voice slammed against the door. "They're all sluts!" She said, exasperated.

Arthur watched through the peephole as Don and Cathy looked at each other. Cathy looked down at Don's tented pajama pants and smacked him so hard in the arm that Arthur physically winced. She grabbed her husband's robe, and the pair went downstairs, with Cathy ranting about harlots, sluts, only fans, jezebels, and horrible perverted men.

"I am so sorry you had to do that." Arthur said after they all heard the door to the apartment below them slam shut, and the bickering continue.

"If you ever-" Kat glared at him. "If you ever make me do something like that again, I will bite your fucking dick off." She spat, still red in the face but out of anger now rather than embarrassment.

Arthur held up his hands in surrender. "I'm sorry!" He said. "I didn't know what else to do! It's not like I could tell them everything was fine and they would believe me! They had to hear it from one of you!"

"Let Selene do it then!" Kat spat. "She doesn't mind being called names and humiliated like that!"

Selene looked apologetic but didn't argue. They all looked awkward and sorry, and the mood was completely ruined.

"Hey, come here." Arthur said as he reached for Kat, who pulled away from him. She reached down and tore off his t-shirt before throwing it at him and moving over to where her bra was on the floor.

"Come here." Arthur said again, more pleading than commanding.

"I'm going home." Kat announced with tears in her eyes.

Arthur gave up trying to convince her and moved to her instead. He wrapped his arms around her and held her tight. She tried to fight at first, pushing him away, scratching him, but not verbally protesting or offering a safe word. She struggled, but Arthur overpowered her protests and held her in a hug tighter than steel. Finally, she sank into the embrace and cried.

Arthur held her. The others looked at each other, unsure what to do, until Kelly joined the hug. Then, they all circled and hugged Kat and Arthur one by one. They all stood there as the clock ticked on, silent except for the sound of Kat crying and Arthur's occasional soothing noises as he ran his fingers along her back and kissed her forehead.

"Well, you won your bet." Arthur said a minute or two after it seemed Kat was all cried out.

"Yay, me." Kat sniffed.

"That means I have to pack and move for you. Remember?" Arthur asked. "If you... still want to move in."

Kat scoffed. "Of course I do." She sniffed. "I just... I'm sorry I got so angry. I was so embarrassed. I felt so... it was so violating. Being put on the spot like that."

Arthur didn't try to say that he knew or understood. "I hear you." Arthur told her. "I will not make you do that again, short of the police getting involved. I promise. I never wanted to embarrass you. You have absolutely nothing to be embarrassed about. I have shitty neighbors, who we will not be interacting with again."

Kat nodded, nuzzling into Arthur's chest and squeezing him as best she could.

"Are the rest of you okay?" Arthur asked.

The girls nodded as they pulled apart.

"I'm sorry I killed the mood." Kat apologized to the group.

"Not your fault." Rani shrugged. "Shitty neighbors are shitty. We won't have to deal with them much longer."

"And nobody's mad at you, either." Selene assured Arthur as she rubbed his back. "Right, ladies?"

The girls looked up at Arthur and gave him small smiles. "We get that you did your best in the situation." Kelly said. "But next time... maybe let me or Selene handle it." She smirked. "Someone with Karen experience who isn't afraid to tell the nosy Nellies to go to hell."

"I volunteer as tribute." Rani raised her hand, and the girls giggled.

"I really am sorry." Arthur apologized again. "I tried to handle it, but when they threatened... yeah. I guess I folded pretty quick." He admitted.

"It's ok." Kat assured him. "It was the first time anything like that's happened to any of us, I imagine."

Arthur nodded and plopped back on the sofa. The girls were looking at each other, conversing silently, before Kelly moved down and fluffed the central pillow on the makeshift bed.

Rani knelt next to her, and Selene, Kat, and Mindy joined the line of kneeling women at the head of the bed.

"I think it's time for sleep." Kelly announced. "Come lay here while we take turns getting ready for bed."

Arthur looked confused. "You want to spend the night?"

"I don't want to end the night on a bad note." Kelly said. "Neither do any of us, right girls?" She asked, looking at the women beside her, who all shook their heads. "Selene, you tend to him. Mindy, you get the first turn in the bathroom."

Selene stood and moved over the bed, taking Arthur's hand and leading him back toward the bed. Mindy reluctantly went into the bathroom as Selene stood before Arthur and took off his pants. She helped him step out of them, then let him lie on the bed.

Arthur expected her to come and lay beside him, but she didn't. She knelt at his feet as if waiting.

When Arthur didn't say anything, Selene broke the silence.

"Are you ready to fuck my ass, Master?" Selene asked.

Arthur scoffed and shook his head. "I think I might be out of energy tonight." He said sadly. "I feel... I still feel terrible about making Kat talk to them like that."

"You thought you were doing the right thing." Kelly reminded him.

"The only thing you could do without escalating the situation and the cops getting involved." Selene said decidedly.

"I know I don't want my name on a police report. So thank you." Rani said. "And we don't have to do anything more tonight." She assured him as she and the others undressed again. "We can just lay in bed and cuddle if you want to. Naked. Our legs overlapping yours... or maybe Selene and I can bring each other to orgasm, and you can just watch until you're ready to take one of us?"

Selene smirked at the idea and glanced down, but Arthur was still soft. He was too distracted and felt too guilty. Selene frowned. "Would spanking us make you feel better? I know I could use a good spanking." She looked at Kat.

"I won't say no, but I'm still sore from my spanking last night." Kat warned.

"I'm not going to spank either of you." Arthur assured them despite Selene's pout.

"You could spank me." Kelly suggested. "I can think of something I've done to deserve it, I'm sure." She giggled.

The idea of spanking Kelly's perfect ass usually would have made him hard as stone in an instant, but at the moment there was nothing. He was soft and still slightly messy down there from Kat's juices.

"Kneel over him, doggy style like, across his chest." Selene told Kelly, who looked at Arthur for a second and then crawled over and took the position.

Kelly put her hands on Arthur's left side, with her knees on Arthur's right. Her red hair fell over her shoulders, but she couldn't hide those perfect bell-shaped breasts hanging down.

"Man, I am so jealous of your tits." Rani huffed.

"I'm jealous of your hips." Kelly offered.

"No, you aren't." Rani scoffed. "My hips and ass are big, sure, but yours are perfect. That hourglass figure you've got going on? Your body is perfect."

"So is yours." Kelly offered, but Rani blew her off. "Everyone's body is different. Biodiversity is a good thing." Kelly said. "But if you've got things you want to work on in the gym, I can help you. I can't change your bone structure, but we can fine-tune what you've got."

"Can you make this dump truck into a corvette?" Rani laughed as she slapped her own ass.

"No." Kelly smirked. "And I don't think you'd want me to." She offered. "But I can tighten it up for you."

Rani smirked, but the conversation ended there as Selene crawled forward from Arthur's feet and laid down with her head just below Arthur's pelvis.

Mindy exited the bathroom, naked again, and resumed kneeling next to Kat. Rani took her place in the bathroom.

"What did I miss?" Mindy asked.

"Master is going to spank, Mistress." Kat said quietly. "And Slut will probably ask to suck his cock in a second."

Selene smiled, looking at Arthur under the bridge of Kelly's abs. "May I clean you off, Master?"

Arthur sighed and laid his head back on the pillow, looking up at Mindy and Kat's faces as they looked down at him. Mindy had washed off her makeup, giving her face a darker tone and a more tired expression, but she was still pretty and had her hair pulled back in two low pleats. Kat still had her makeup on, though it had runs and splotches from her crying, and her eyes were red and slightly puffy.

"Go ahead, Slut." Arthur said. "I can't promise anything, though. I've had more than my fair share of fucking today."

Mindy giggled. "That's for sure."

Selene didn't seem to mind. She brought her lips down and started kissing, licking, and sucking. Arthur had one hand on the back of Kelly's thigh, rubbing her leg, and Mindy and Kat knelt over him, watchful.

Kelly pushed back a little, pressing her thighs more firmly into Arthur's hand. She looked over her shoulder at him, smiling softly. "Just ten spanks, I think. To remind me of my place."

Arthur smirked softly.

"Would more dirty talk help?" Mindy asked. "Or would it help if Kat and I started making out?"

"No." Kat said quickly. "Sorry." She said immediately to quell Mindy's confusion. "I don't mind sharing so far, and I'm okay with a little here and there, but I'm... I'm not really into doing things to people other than Arthur."

"You don't want to kiss me?" Mindy asked.

"No, not really." Kat looked apologetic. "I'm sorry. It's not a statement on you; I'm just... I'm not bi. And I'm not in the mood. I think... I think maybe I'll just go home."

"It's okay." Arthur assured her. "You don't have to do anything you're not comfortable with. But... I'd like you to stay so we can cuddle and fall asleep."

Kat seemed to think about it, then leaned over and kissed Arthur upside down. "Yes, Sir." She said after she pulled away.

"Hey, it's working." Selene announced from down below. "Kiss him again."

Mindy bent forward this time, kissing Arthur hungrily until she had to pull away for air. Arthur managed one deep inhale before Kat took her place, and the kissing resumed.

Below, between Kelly's movement against his hand, her breasts on his torso, Selene's attentions to his length, and the kissing alternating between Mindy's hot and passionate lips and tongue and Kat's soft and tender open-mouth kisses, he was hard once more by the time Rani came out of the bathroom, ready for bed.

"Kat, go clean yourself up." Kelly said gently. "Rani, take her place."

Rani helped Kat from her place, kneeling above Arthur's head, then sank into it next to Mindy. She saw Kat had been making out with Arthur from above when she came out of the bathroom, but Mindy had descended in the meanwhile, and she waited her turn.

Kelly, meanwhile, reached down and moved Arthur's unoccupied hand to her breast, where he started to fondle and gently caress her.

Selene made a soft moaning sound as she took his now fully hardened length into her throat for a few strokes, and then withdrew.

Arthur gasped as Mindy withdrew and barely had time for a breath before Rani descended her lips to his.

Kelly kept pressing her thigh and then her rear against the palm of Arthur's right hand as it rubbed and roamed, but he still wasn't spanking her, just rubbing and roaming until he slipped his fingers between her legs and felt how wet she'd become from his hand and his attention on her breasts. He lowered his fingers into her, and she pushed back against him, fucking his hand with a nearly silent gasp as she closed her eyes tightly.

They kept going like that for a few minutes, Selene sucking and throating, Arthur fingering Kelly, who lowered her front half to better push back against his hand, and Mindy and Rani trading off kissing him. Arthur didn't know how much time passed that way, but it felt amazing, and he heard rather than saw Kat's return.

Kat tapped Selene on the shoulder and traded places with her, though Selene protested a little before finally giving up her spot between Arthur's legs.

Kat felt different from Selene, and she spent more time stroking his shaft and sucking the top in her mouth instead of taking him into her throat, but when she did, it felt amazing. It felt like he had to wait for it, and it was always worth the wait, even if it didn't last as long as he would have liked.

They kept going like that until Selene returned from the bathroom and tried to convince Kelly to get ready for bed. Kelly was nearly there and didn't want to stop until she reached her second orgasm. It took a few minutes, so Selene squirmed her way next to Rani and Mindy, making out with Arthur as the third in the rotation, which quickly led to Rani and Mindy making out while Selene made out with him.

There was a brief whine from Kelly as her body locked up, and she came on Arthur's hand as quietly as she could. Kelly threw her head back just as Selene and Mindy swapped kissing partners. There was a muffled grunt from Arthur's waist, and Kat wriggled a little before swallowing a few gulps as Arthur came. It wasn't as hard or as forceful as he usually did, but he came, and Kat swallowed it all.

"No sharing?" Selene pouted at Kat, who took a deep breath and shook her head after she released Arthur's cock.

"Sorry." She wiped her mouth with the back of her hand. "There wasn't much, and I didn't want to make a mess."

Selene smirked, reached down, and stroked Arthur's hair as he closed his eyes.

"Poor Master." Selene ran her fingers along his scalp. "Fucked until he's empty and exhausted."

"Every night if we have anything to say about it." Mindy giggled.

"Water bottles." Arthur said, sounding only half awake. "I got-"

"I know, Master." Selene said. "I put some in the fridge." She nodded to Rani, who picked up her cue and went and got water bottles. The whole top shelf of Arthur's fridge was full of them now. One for each of them and one for Arthur, which Selene tipped into his mouth for him, then kissed him when she pulled it away. He was physically exhausted, and the girls didn't make any more demands on him other than to cuddle.

When Kelly came out of the bathroom, Arthur was already half asleep. Kat was lying next to him with one leg over his. Mindy was on top of him, using his chest as a pillow and her legs between his. Selene was on the other side of Kat, curled up and cuddling her from behind. Rani was on Arthur's other side but had left a space for Kelly to slide into. The others had taken off their collars, and it looked like someone had taken the liberty of going through purses and plugging in all the phones.

"Do you mind if we spoon?" Rani asked with a slight chuckle.

"No, I don't mind." Kelly almost laughed. The things they'd done that night contained a lot of firsts for her, with other people in the room watching, much less participating. Yet it all felt hot and right. They truly were all rooting for each other and looking out for each other. Though, as she thought it, she realized she'd gotten two orgasms, as opposed to the others getting one, and Selene and Mindy not even getting that. She felt a little guilty about it, but it wasn't like Arthur had the energy to fix the situation. Mindy and Selene would just have to wait until the morning.

"Goodnight, Mister." Kelly kissed his cheek, then cuddled into his side opposite Kat. She put one of her legs over his, then felt Rani's arm snake around her waist. The pillow under her head had Arthur's arm under it, but it felt comfortable and warm with all the bodies gathered in one place. Between that and the sleepiness she felt after her satisfaction, she fell asleep pretty quickly.

Slowly but surely, they all drifted off to dream.
