Harem House Chapter 13

DESCRIPTION

The drive back to the apartment complex was a mixture of quiet and spurts of conversation. This time, Kat was in the backseat, and Selene was in the passenger seat while Arthur drove. The topics of discussion moved through the potential of renting his parent's house, filling it with people Selene wanted to watch Arthur fuck, what to do about the whole deal coming with Lynn attached, and what Arthur needed to do to take his mind off it all before his date with Mindy.

"Well, you've got paperwork to review." Selene reminded him. "So you can officially sign that agreement."

"You could always work on the lesson plan you owe me." Kat reminded Arthur.

"Both good ideas." Arthur agreed. "I might not read over the paperwork tonight, though. I need something to take my mind off the whole Lynn business. Maybe I'll just make a plan for tonight, figure things out."

"Do you know what you're wearing?" Selene asked. She looked at Arthur from the passenger seat as he drove and evaluated his outfit. It wasn't exactly ugly, but it wasn't first-date clothes either.

"Do you know where you're going, what you're doing?" Kat chimed in.

"Bowling." Arthur answered with a slight laugh.

"Bowling for a first date...." Kat wondered aloud, then chuckled as if to herself. "A real ladies' man."

Arthur scoffed while Selene frowned at Kat. He shrugged. "I know. Mindy asked me for a good first date idea, and I suggested bowling. Come to think of it, that was mine and Lori's first date. It was a good way to talk while doing something together, get to know one another, that kind of thing. And since we were discussing ways to do that, I thought of bowling."

"So you're recreating your first date with your ex-girlfriend for a potential new girlfriend?" Kat sounded surprised.

"Not on purpose." Arthur clarified. "I didn't think about it that way until just now, actually. I didn't know she was asking for me and her." Arthur said.

"Her and me." Kat corrected automatically. Selene rolled her eyes, but Arthur continued.

"I thought she wanted to go out with some guy. All she told me was he was an upperclassman. When she asked me, I... I just said yes." Arthur shrugged. "It'll be okay. It's not like I'm still hung up on Lori. I haven't actually thought about her in a few days now."

Kat and Selene shared a look.

Lori and Arthur's relationship had been the deepest of Arthur's romantic life, but it ended much too suddenly for his liking. They had a rom-com romance Arthur's freshman year and Lori's sophomore year. They moved in together in Arthur's junior year, and the first semester of living together went really well. Or so Arthur thought. Lori was the one who introduced him to practicing BDSM. They were both into it and loved each other, learning more about the lifestyle as they went, up until they parted ways.

Arthur frowned as memories of Lori flashed through his mind. Happy memories, now tainted with the pain of losing her through no fault of his own.

"Just a few days, huh?" Kat asked. She didn't seem to appreciate that Arthur was fucking them while still hung up about his ex if that was the case.

"We broke up partway through last semester, and then she moved out and across the country at the end of the spring semester right after finals." Arthur explained. "I've been..."

"He's been pretty antisocial since." Selene explained. "He asked Kelly out, and then I asked him to do BDSM with me, and then Mindy asked him out, and then you asked to join, and then we brought Mindy into his harem... Poor Master, it's been a whirlwind." She stroked his arm.

"Poor Master." Kat mocked Selene. "Practically drowning in pussy now that we've come to our arrangement."

"If I have to die, that's not a bad way to go." Arthur defended.

Kat and Selene laughed. Arthur kept his eyes on the road but spared a glance in the rearview mirror to see if Kat was teasing or seriously annoyed with him. He was still having a hard time reading her. Her mannerisms were similar to Selene's in some ways, but her attitudes were totally different. Selene wrinkled her nose lightheartedly, but when Kat did it, it seemed as though she was more serious than teasing. Navigating the similarities and differences between them was tricky.

"Were you and Lori serious?" Kat asked. The answer might have been evident to Selene or anyone who knew Arthur and Lori together, but Kat had barely known Arthur. She might have met Lori a time or two, but she was just another friend of Selene's. The campus was large enough that not everyone knew everyone, even if Lori and Kat had crossed paths and been introduced once or twice.

"We were living together." Arthur explained. The road took some of his attention away as he drove, putting a pause before his words that he didn't intend, but the statement was explanation enough. His lack of follow-up caused Selene to squeeze his thigh in a gesture meant to comfort him.

"Were you gonna propose?" Kat raised an eyebrow.

"No." Arthur shook his head. "At least, I hadn't done any ring shopping or anything. I'd thought about it, vaguely, I guess, but I figured I would cross that bridge after we graduated."

"Makes sense." Kat nodded and moved her eyes from the rearview mirror to the back of Selene's head. She had to wonder how this relationship of theirs would evolve after graduation. Arthur was going to grad school, sure, and Selene still had a year of school left after the next semester. Kat was planning to graduate next semester and get a job in the city. The house was closer. She could live there and commute, but what would happen when Arthur graduated? She had her doubts about the situation.

Silence reigned in the car until Selene's hand on Arthur's thigh started getting distracted. For a moment, Arthur thought she was about to say something consoling about Lori or how she was glad it didn't work out with Lori so she could have him. Though, it wasn't as if Selene was unwilling to share. In fact, she was the direct opposite. Selene seemed to want to share Arthur with as many other women as possible. Instead, however, she simply asked a question.

"May I suck your cock, Master?"

Kat rolled her eyes and looked out the window. Arthur laughed. He patted her hand on his thigh and then took it in his and squeezed it gently.

"I can't believe I'm about to turn down a blowjob, but we're almost home, and I need to save something for tonight, just in case it goes well. It's not fair to Mindy if you two don't leave me with anything for her." Arthur smirked.

Obviously, he appreciated the attention and thoroughly enjoyed everything he did with them both separately and together. He wasn't sure how this would work, this Harem that Selene was trying to put together. He imagined that each of his girls deserved his undivided attention when it was their turn with him.

He never considered sex as a performance, but he had to admit there was a certain amount of pressure to perform well with each partner. Selene had a way of talking him up. He would have been crushed if he'd disappointed Kat after she and Selene had come to their arrangement. Likewise, Arthur didn't want to disappoint Mindy. She wanted a date, and he wanted to be able to deliver, even if that meant saying no to something he knew would feel amazing right now.

Selene pouted but took his answer in stride and sat back against her chair. She knew it wasn't a rejection of her but a certain amount of concern for Mindy. She could appreciate that. Her Master needed his strength if he was going to please all the women Selene wanted him to fuck. She smiled at the thought, dissolving her pout almost as soon as it had formed.

"Well, if you ever get it in your head, you need a blowjob to help clear the cobwebs. You know who to call." Selene gestured to herself.

"Right." Arthur nodded. "Kelly."

Kat laughed.

"Or..." Selene prompted, leaning forward slightly in her seat.

"Kat?" Arthur asked.

"I could use the practice." Kat shrugged. "I'm not as good at it as some people I could mention."

"Like Mindy?" Arthur asked, surprised.

Kat laughed again. Selene smiled but just shook her head at their teasing antics. She knew she was good at what she enjoyed. Selene enjoyed doing a lot of things with Arthur, but there was something about the way he looked at her when on her knees, sucking his cock that thrilled her. She loved the thought of being able to do it again. She knew he was just teasing.

His hand squeezed hers again, and Arthur kept holding her hand until he had to turn into the apartment complex. She let him and held his hand too. There wasn't much she wouldn't let her Master do to her, even if it were as tame as holding her hand.

The turn into the parking lot drew all their eyes outside the car. They looked around to see if any neighbors were out and about on this bright and clear Sunday. The car crawled along the parking lot. It was still earlier than Kat thought it should be. The clock on the dash clicked over to Noon just as they pulled in.

"We should part ways here." Kat suggested. "If we go up to your apartment, you might not make your date."

"It's not for a few hours...." Selene protested.

"And we have to review the reading for our Non-Western Lit class." Kat reminded her.

"Ugh." Selene slumped. "I should have taken Sexual Slavery as my elective."

Arthur laughed. "I don't think they offer classes in that here."

Kat unbuckled and leaned forward. She patted Arthur on the shoulder from the back seat. "Good thing you do." She teased him. "If we're meeting on Tuesday, I'll want that lesson plan today at the latest, so... use the time before your date to do that. 'Cause, we'll have to wait until the weekend or something if I don't get that lesson plan."

That was their arrangement, after all. It was in their contract together. Technically, they were already breaking it by having Tuesday less than three days after she received the lesson plan, but Kat was willing to let that go. She didn't want to admit to it, but she wanted to get fucked again sooner rather than later.

"Hey, which one of us is the Master here, and which one is the submissive?" Arthur asked rhetorically.

"You're my Master." Selene kissed his cheek after he'd parked the car.

"And my Dom." Kat assured him, coming up from the backseat to kiss that same cheek, which surprised Selene but made her smile. She seemed to enjoy the little signs of affection between Kat and Arthur when Kat wasn't collared as if she were seeing a softer side of Kat that she hadn't seen in years poking through the tough bitch exterior for a few seconds at a time.

Arthur turned off the car.

"And you're my girls." He assured them with a gentle smile.

He would have wanted them to come upstairs if it wasn't for his date with Mindy. As it was, he felt guilty about his date with Mindy already, and now, thinking about Mindy, he felt guilty about his activities with Selene and Kat. He knew he shouldn't. They were all adults who'd agreed to this unique relationship between them. They were all consenting and enjoyed every minute they had together. Yet, some small voice in the back of his head worried it would all fall through or someone would get hurt feelings. He wanted to postpone that for as long as he could.

The three of them, Selene, Kat, and Mindy, had met and discussed it. They called themselves his harem. He hadn't been a part of that conversation, but he didn't mind the name. It was actually pretty hot. He wouldn't mind sitting down with all three of them and talking things out. He was annoyed that he hadn't been there for their conversation. They even had an ongoing group chat together, from which they excluded Arthur. The result was that Mindy wanted to try being part of their arrangement so long as her date with Arthur went well. The added pressure of not screwing things up was minimal but still present.

Now, getting out of the car and having to say goodbye to Selene and Kat, he felt awkward about the whole idea.

"It's okay." Arthur assured Selene. "You've been a good girl. And I'll keep you updated on how the date's going as I can." He wouldn't sacrifice his attention on Mindy, but if she went to the bathroom or something, he would text Selene and let her know how things were progressing.

"Don't worry about us." Kat assured him. "Focus on Mindy. Focus on who you're with when you're with just them."

"But if you need me, just text. I can come right over." Selene assured him. She had specific fantasies of serving Arthur while he fucked Mindy. She even had some hopes of joining in and doing things with Mindy that she and Kat couldn't do together or wouldn't. The thought of Arthur ordering her to lick his load out of Mindy's pussy made her slick between the legs.

"That's not what we agreed with Mindy." Kat reminded her.

"Master's desires come first." Selene said.

"He knows." Kat laughed. "Don't worry. I'm sure he'll call you if Mindy's up for a threeway."

"Yes, Ma'am." Arthur joked. Selene looked bashful for a moment, but Kat just scoffed and shook her head. "Thanks for coming with me. I'm excited about the possibility of us all living together at the house." Arthur said as he pushed the car into Park.

"Of course you are." Kat smirked. It was obviously in Arthur's best sexual interests to keep Selene down the hall rather than across the parking lot where she lived now. As for her own preferences, Kat could neither confirm nor deny the fantasies dancing through her imagination of cohabitating with Arthur, her collar always within reach. She worried a little that she'd become addicted to it like Selene was. It helped that hers was more overtly BDSM gear than Selene's thin leather choker.

"I'm excited too!" Selene chirped. "And so is Kat. She just likes feeling superior."

Kat shrugged but neither confirmed nor denied her eagerness. There would be a lot to pack and move, but so long as Selene helped and didn't spend all her time fucking Arthur, it wouldn't be too bad. "Let us know when you sign the docs with your parents, and then send us the rental agreement for tenants so we can look it over."

"Of course." Arthur said. He turned off the car; Kat got out first, followed by Selene and Arthur. They took their things with them, and Arthur hugged each of them farewell one at a time.

Selene stepped onto her toes, reached up, and pulled him into a soft kiss. "Have fun with Mindy tonight, Master. Fuck her hard, and tell me everything tomorrow."

Arthur laughed softly as Selene stepped away, and Kat paused awkwardly. It was awkward to hug like this for both of them. They'd fucked, sure, kissed, and done all kinds of things in the privacy of their apartments and in the heat of sexual passion. This wasn't a moment of passion, and they were out in the open where anyone could see.

Kat stepped forward and kissed him on the cheek after placing a hand on his shoulder to pull him slightly toward her.

"Have fun. Remember what we told you. Be good to Mindy like you are to us. Be yourself, and you'll be fine." Kat patted his shoulder and then followed Selene, who was waiting for her.

Arthur watched the two of them walk away to their apartment. Selene's skirt swished behind her, and Kat's round ass pushed against the jeans that stretched over it. The girls looked over their shoulders at him and waved goodbye. Selene blew him a kiss. Kat rolled her eyes at both of them. They turned the corner, moved out of view, and then Arthur headed toward his apartment.

"So." Selene said as she and Kat walked to their apartment building. "What did you think of his parents?"

It was Kat's first introduction to his parents and Selene's most formal. That his mom had recognized her from that passing introduction on Parent's weekend was surprising, but some people had a memory for names and faces. Selene liked his mom a lot, though she was still unsure how to take Arthur's dad. He seemed unpredictable to Selene.

"They seem okay." Kat shrugged. "I liked the house."

"Right?" Selene gawked. "It was huge!"

"It wasn't TV big, but definitely bigger than any place we've lived." Kat nodded. "We'd really be livin' it up there if we can afford it."

It was a lovely house and comfortable too. It was far homier than either their apartment or Arthur's. The pool wasn't a big draw given that Autumn had just started, and even heated, they probably wouldn't do much swimming during the winter months.

Kat wondered if they'd be able to live there over the summer or if they'd have to move out when the semester ended. It was a good question, and one to ask if it wasn't answered by the rental agreement.

"Can we?" Selene asked. She knew money was tighter for them than for Arthur, but she was never really good with keeping up with the finances beyond her personal budget, which rarely let her spend any money. After all, she only worked a few hours a week at the cafe on campus. Most purchases went on a credit card that her mom helped her pay.

"Well, your job barely pays for shit." Kat almost laughed. "My editing gigs are paying okay, but Mom supplements our rent, making up the shortfall every month. You know that. There's no way she'd be okay with us moving in with Arthur." Kat shook her head.

"Fuck her." Selene scoffed.

"She helps us out. A lot." Kat hated having to defend their mother, but she felt it was warranted in this particular instance. Selene and their mom never got along, with Selene looking for almost every opportunity to rebel. Kat was the good daughter, but she also hated how controlling their mother could be in exchange for peace and motherly love.

"Always with strings attached." Selene scoffed. "Fuck her."

"I wish someone would." Kat giggled. "Maybe then she'd loosen up."

Selene was quiet as they entered their building and headed down the steps to their apartment door. "Okay, so we just don't tell her?" Selene asked. "I mean, we tell her we're moving and getting a house with a bunch of our girlfriends, and we just don't tell her about the landlord living on site."

"And if she wants to inspect the place first?" Kat asked.

"If we move quickly, she won't." Selene suggested. "If we're in there by next month, she won't have time to come all the way across the state to look at it."

"If we get enough other renters, it'll be cheaper too." Kat said as she unlocked the door, and she and Selene entered their apartment. It was the mirror image of Arthur's with the two bedrooms off to the left after a small open area, the bathroom on the far wall, which wrapped around to the kitchen toward the right. Their sofa was more or less in front of the dining/living room divide, facing the wall the front door was on where their TV stood on its entertainment center, which held more DVDs than electronics.

Their apartment was more decorated than Arthur's, with pictures of the two of them and their friends on the wall, some art Kat liked, and some fan art Selene liked. The large poster map of Middle-Earth was framed and hung right next to the bathroom door.

Selene headed toward her room, tossed the duffel bag on the bed, then returned and placed her book bag on the kitchen table. She pulled the books she needed from it and walked over to the couch. Kat did the same routine and sat on the sofa with her books on the opposite side of Selene.

"Smells like sex in here." Selene scoffed. "You fucked him right on this couch, right?" Selene asked slyly.

"That was yesterday." Kat scoffed but nodded, recalling the memory of falling asleep with him here pleasantly, even if the memory of the post-orgasmic bliss was even better. "Should I light a candle?"

Selene shrugged, but Kat did it anyway, filling the living room in no time with the piny scent of a tree-themed Yankee candle.

"So we're agreed to move in with Arthur, right?" Selene asked, just to make sure.

Kat hesitated but nodded as she retook her seat. "Yeah."

"And we want our own room, not to share his?" Selene asked.

Kat looked at her for a moment. She hadn't considered it an option to move into the house and into Arthur's bedroom with him. It was a thought, she supposed. It'd allow for more renters and, consequently, cheaper rent. On the other hand, she didn't intend to share Arthur's bed every night as Selene did. She wanted a space of her own.

"We should have our own room." Kat said after a moment. "But I imagine you'll probably spend most nights in his room rather than ours, which is honestly fine with me. I wasn't particularly looking forward to sharing a bedroom with you again." Kat smirked.

Selene giggled, imagining it. The idea of living with Arthur full time, of always being there for him, made her so happy inside that she could not keep from smiling. She wondered if she would sleep on Arthur's bed, or if he would make her a slave bed out of blankets like at his apartment, which she loved, or if he'd follow through with his excellent idea from earlier and get her a cage to sleep in.

The idea of being locked up in a cage in full view of Arthur's bed made her eager to see Arthur again and fuck him. The daydream of being locked in that cage while he fucked someone on his bed made her heart race. She wanted to run across the parking lot and tackle him to the ground, a physical impossibility, sure, but he'd catch her, and then they could fuck. Her smile stretched to its limits with every second.

Kat noticed the smile on her face and caught some of it, smiling even as she turned her eyes to the book they were supposed to be reading.

"You're thinking about fucking Arthur again, aren't you?" Kat asked in a dry accusation.

Selene's smile didn't fade. She bit her bottom lip, nodded, and then rolled her eyes at Kat when Kat pointedly glared at the book in her hands. She sighed and turned her attention to the book. She read a line or two, then closed it in her lap and looked at Kat. "Do you think any of your volleyball friends would be into sharing Arthur?"

Kat coughed in surprise and shook her head. She had to think through the girls on her volleyball team for a few minutes. She could think of a few that might be down to fuck Arthur, but she didn't know how cool they might be with sharing him for a night or longer. Fucking him was one thing. Most people probably wanted to. Even Kat could admit that he was a fine specimen of a man. Sharing him, though, was harder to tell.

"Want me to ask around?" Kat asked.

"No." Selene shook her head. "I don't want to pimp him out or anything."

Kat laughed. "Yes, you do. You just don't want anyone to pay you for it." The things Selene was willing to do for Arthur worried Kat sometimes. It was as if Selene let all of her self-respect and limits get washed away by a good fuck. That was her business, of course, but Kat still felt the instinctual need to look out for her when she was too foolish to look out for herself. She was glad Arthur was looking out for her, too, though he might have a hard time saying no if Selene offered him the chance to fuck someone hot who was no good for him.

Selene giggled. "It's hot, okay? I loved watching him fuck you and how happy you both were." She closed her eyes and pulled up the memory of it. She could see Arthur's face, the look in his eyes that burned with desire and passion. The bright pleasure was evident on her face as she lifted her head and cried out while Arthur hammered her from behind. It was a hot memory and one that made Selene intensely happy, even if she couldn't figure out how to adequately explain it.

"Happy is one word for it." Kat said with a smirk.

"Weren't you happy?" Selene asked, suddenly concerned.

Kat nodded. "I was. I think he was too. I think it was less like happiness and more... satisfaction." She didn't know how to explain the difference, but it made sense. It wasn't like fucking made her happy at the moment. She was too focused for it to take hold. Happiness came in that post-orgasmic relaxation after a good fucking.

"Well, I like seeing you both satisfied." Selene nodded. "Seeing other people happy, that's my real kink."

"As kinks go, it's not the worst." Kat smirked. "I was a little worried when he threatened our asses, though."

"That was just for my benefit." Selene assured her. "Arthur doesn't even like threatening certain things. He went soft last time I asked him for some CNC."

"Arthur went soft? I didn't even know that was possible." Kat giggled. She supposed that the revelation made some sense, but it still worried her a little. Kat was thankful for Arthur at that moment. If not for him, who knew how Selene might try and fulfill her fantasies.

Selene nodded and bit her bottom lip. "It was so hot when he did the scene, though." She closed her eyes and called it up in her memory.

She felt her body respond to the memory as though she were watching her favorite porno, and her breathing shifted. She loved Arthur, and she knew it was more than just attraction. The strong arms, the broad pecs, the V muscles at the bottom of his torso, and the abs leading down to them were all erotic when paired with his handsome face and sharp jawline. Still, it was his goofy manner, his way of always putting others first, and that he made her feel safe even when dragging her naked across the carpet toward his bedroom that made her feel warm every time she thought of him.

"We have the weirdest conversations about that man." Kat shook her head. "Should we warn Mindy? Wouldn't want him going soft on her tonight."

Selene giggled. "Maybe." She shrugged. "I don't even know what her kinks are." Selene, Kat, and Mindy knew each other well enough for anyone after a two-hour conversation, but it wasn't as if they'd delved into every deep dark secret one might have. They probably should have talked about sex more than they did, come to think of it, but they'd gotten distracted talking about Avatar the Last Airbender, as one does.

"She's an eighteen-year-old Freshman. She probably doesn't know what her kinks are. I don't even know my kinks, and I'm older than you." Kat scoffed. "I'm still learning." Arthur was helping her figure that all out, after all. That was the premise of their sessions together, anyway. He was her sex professor, and she was his pupil. Sex padawan? There were probably fewer nerdy titles for that kind of thing, but she could only think about nerdy ways of saying it. She blamed her proximity to Selene.

"We should let them figure it out then." Selene nodded. "I'm sure they'll figure it out. I hope she likes spanking, though." Selene shifted on the sofa a bit. "He seems to really like it." She could still feel the dull throb of her ass cheeks as they pressed against the couch. It was like sitting on something that she could feel with every subtle shift or movement of her legs beneath her.

Selene didn't hate it. On the contrary, she felt she could feel Arthur's hand on her ass without him being there. It was a wonderful feeling to think that she took her Master with her wherever she went in some physical way.

Kat laughed and shifted herself. She'd only been spanked a few times compared to poor Selene, whose ass, the last time Kat saw it, seemed an almost permanent shade of red compared to her pale white flesh everywhere else.

"I didn't mind it." Kat admitted softly.

"You loved it." Selene corrected Kat with a smirk. "I saw the way you looked, remember?"

Kat's smirk grew into a gently blushing smile, but she didn't answer Selene. She turned her attention back to their reading as if either of them could hope to focus on schoolwork.

Selene went back to reading, too, for a few minutes anyway. Their phones buzzed simultaneously, and they each moved to check them, digging through their respective purses by the sofa with silent choreography.

Selene hoped it was from Arthur, but the notification on her phone read: Harem Chat. She glanced at Kat as she unlocked it, and they both began reading the chat's missed messages.

Mindy: Today's the day! I have to go to church with my parents, but afterwards, are you two around?

Mindy: Church is over! Are you two around?

Mindy: Ok, so you haven't read these yet, but if you get some time before my date with Arthur, please let me know!

Mindy: Ok! I'm officially panicking! I need help! HELP!

Selene looked up at Kat, who'd read the same messages, and both looked apologetic. Poor Mindy was nervous about her date with Arthur and was looking for help from her harem, and both of them had accidentally ignored her, missing her messages while they were at Arthur's parents' house or with Arthur this morning.

Selene: Sorry! We were studying. What's up?

Mindy answered back immediately.

Mindy: I need your advice! You know what he likes, right? I need help picking my outfit!

Selene looked at Kat, who looked up from her phone and shrugged. Master usually picked Selene's outfits for her, or at least, he had the last few days since Selene practically refused to wear anything he didn't choose for her. That was as good a style guide as any. Kat had less experience in what Arthur liked to see his girls wear, but she was perfectly willing to help a friend in need.

Selene: What do you have so far?

Mindy: Nothing!

Kat: He'll like that, but you might get arrested.

Selene sent a laughing emoji, but Mindy sent a worried emoji and a frowny face.

Kat: Sorry. Not helpful. Uh... he likes lingerie.

Selene: And dresses!

Mindy: He said he likes feminine. Skirts, and stuff. But I always wear things like that at work, and he never notices!

Kat: What do you wear at work?

Mindy: Can we facetime?

Selene: Sure!

Kat looked at Selene and frowned but tossed the book aside and settled into the sofa as the video call came through. Selene didn't want to study anyway; she knew that, but she was legitimately worried for her grades if Selene replaced all of her study time with fucking Arthur and running his apparent harem.

The call came through, and the camera showed a distressed Mindy frowning at the camera. Her hair was a mess, and her makeup wasn't done yet. She turned the phone to show a dorm bed covered in a mountain of clothing of all colors but barely discernible shapes.

Selene smiled almost apologetically as she looked it over and tried to pick out which pieces of clothing were which.

"Help me!" Mindy pleaded.

"Calm down." Kat said in a soothing tone Selene had only heard a few times before. "You don't need to be nervous. He likes you. He's nervous too. Just pick something that looks good on you, and he'll love it."

Selene nodded. "What dresses do you have?" She asked, getting straight to business. She knew Arthur preferred dresses to skirt and top combos and those to pants and tops. Of course, that wasn't to say he couldn't enjoy a pair of pajama shorts and a low-cut top, but if they were going out in public, Mindy probably needed something sexy but not too slutty.

"I have a whole bunch." Mindy gestured to the bed. "How short should it be? I don't want to be dressed super slutty at the bowling alley, like out of place, but I want to keep his eyes on me. Shortest I have is this mini-dress." She held up a slinky red number that looked like a wrap dress that overlapped in an A-shaped skirt that closed just below the crotch when she held it up against her.

"That looks good." Kat nodded.

"But is it too short for bowling?" Mindy asked. "I don't mind flashing him, don't get me wrong, but I don't want to flash the entire place."

"I get it." Selene said with a consoling smile.

"He's never really looked at me like I've wanted him to." Mindy complained. "He needs to see me as sexy, someone he can, y'know... think about in that way."

Kat smirked slightly as if not concerned at all. Arthur was, after all, a man. In her mind, he could find any woman willing to bare some skin as sexy. She didn't consider that he could turn that off or filter it in any way. That hadn't been her experience when it came to men. She usually dressed pretty properly, after all, in business casual suits and blazers, and she still had men stare at her chest and think they had a shot even if she had "Fuck off" figuratively stamped across her forehead.

Selene understood the worry, though. Arthur hadn't considered her a sexual prospect either. Arthur's manner of treating women as though they weren't potential sexual partners was one of the things she liked about him, for the most part. It was what made him a safe friend. Maybe it was because he'd been so used to dating Lori, being taken, and still having female friends. Yet, obviously, Selene was into him in ways he hadn't considered until she came right out and asked him to teach her the ways of BDSM. In Selene's experience, the only way to get out of Arthur's blind spot was to ask him to let you out of it directly or ask to suck his dick.

Mindy was in the same boat, more or less. She hadn't gotten Arthur's attention that way until she asked him out. She'd constantly flirted with him at the office, and he hadn't picked up on any of it. She found it hard to believe sometimes, but there it was. Several of their coworkers had even teased her about it. They'd called her thirsty, and one guy had even gotten pissed off when he asked Mindy out, and she looked at Arthur's desk before declining.

Selene didn't know how, but Kelly had somehow gotten Arthur's romantic and sexual interest right off the bat. Could it just be because of her looks? No. There must have been something else. Selene resolved to ask her soon.

"Well, he picked out Selene's outfit, so he must like it." Kat suggested and turned her camera to Selene.

Selene stood up to show off her outfit. She wore a thinly strapped black cami top that had ridden slightly above the waist of her purple calf-length gypsy skirt. Her bra straps were visible, and the top showed off a toned body from the waist up with pert round b-cup breasts, but it was not particularly sexy. It looked comfortable and casual as Selene did a slow spin to show it off.

"What are you wearing?" Mindy asked Kat.

"Oh well, I picked out my own outfit, but he seemed to like it." Kat shrugged.

Selene pointed her camera toward Kat, who stood up and showed off a pink off-the-shoulder sweater over a pair of skin-tight blue jeans that hugged her curvaceous waist and butt like a second skin.

"I'd do better in a skirt or dress, I think...." Mindy hesitated. "I don't have your hips." She turned the phone to herself. She was dressed in a pair of plaid pajama pants and a tee shirt, but her lack of hip curves was evident, even if she did have great legs and a butt she was proud of, not to mention the largest breasts out of the three. The tee shirt didn't show them off, but under it, she had full double D breasts that threatened to burst more than one blouse she'd worn to the office.

"Do you want us to come over?" Kat asked. "It's tough to see everything through the phone. We can pick out some outfits for you to try on...." She glanced at the clock. "If we hurry."

"Could you?" Mindy asked. "That would be so great!"

"We'll leave now. We'll be there in twenty." Selene agreed.

"Probably fifteen if Selene drives." Kat smirked but hung up the call and stashed her phone away.

"See you soon!" Selene waved goodbye at the phone and stashed it away as she grabbed her purse.

"You realize this means we'll have to really hit the books as soon as we're done helping her." Kat said to Selene. "Which means we're probably not going shopping."

"We have to go shopping." Selene countered with a whine. "You said you wanted to!"

"I do!" Kat agreed. "But we can't do everything."

"We'll go help Mindy, get out of there before Arthur picks her up, go shopping, have food, and then come home and hit the books." Selene assured her.

"Uh-huh." Kat scoffed. She knew when Selene was full of shit, and this was definitely one of those times. Selene didn't want to do the reading, answer the questions they were supposed to answer for their homework, or study for the inevitable essay question-filled quiz they would have to face about the assignment. She wanted to buy slutty Halloween costumes and lingerie for her Master, and Kat had agreed to go with her and might decide to buy an item or two for herself if it wasn't too expensive.

"You can always stay here and hit the books if you want to." Selene said.

Kat thought about it, but her thoughts didn't stop her from gathering her things, following Selene to the door, closing it behind them, and locking it. "Let's go help a random girl pick out an outfit, so your boyfriend will think she's fuckable." Kat said wryly.

"Not a random girl." Selene protested. "Mindy. She's in the harem with us! And Arthur's not my boyfriend."

Kat scoffed as she climbed the steps after Selene. Whatever Selene's hangup over the term was, Kat couldn't understand it. In a few days, the entire campus might know that the three of them, four if you counted Kelly, were in a sexual relationship with Arthur. Kat didn't like to think what that would do to her reputation around school.

"If anything, he's our boyfriend." Selene gestured in a circle. "Yours, mine, and Mindy's, collectively."

"He's a fuck buddy for me." Kat shrugged. For some reason, she felt better having that distinction. Maybe that was why Selene insisted Arthur wasn't her boyfriend too, though she didn't mind it when Kat referred to him as her, or their, Master. "But sure. And don't forget Kelly."

"And Kelly." Selene agreed. "We really should talk to her." She'd met Kelly at the gym, and she was perfectly friendly. It was Kelly's suggestion to Arthur that they keep things casual and not exclusive. She didn't know how Kelly would feel about joining the harem, the club of women fucking Arthur, dating him knowing he had one or having whatever relationship she wanted with him. Selene, for her part, wasn't dating him, but he was her Master, and she was his slave. Those were the only words she knew to express how completely he owned her heart, body, mind, and soul.

"Aren't you friends with her on social? Just shoot her a message." Kat said as they reached the car.

"Ah yes, just ring her up for tea with you, me, and Mindy and discuss how we will share our Master." Selene teased. "No, I have to think of how to do this properly if we want it to work. After all, I don't want to accidentally break Arthur and Kelly up."

Their car was not as nice as Arthur's, which was saying something considering that Arthur had bought the cheapest car he could find that still ran well. For one, they shared it, and Selene wasn't as anal about keeping the interior tidy like Kat was. They hadn't picked the car out for two; they'd been given it by their mother, who bought it from a church friend. The fish-silhouette sticker it came with had permanently adhered to the bumper, and no amount of Selene scraping at it could get it to come off despite the obvious signs of her attempts.

Kat took the passenger seat and let Selene drive. A rare occurrence, but time was of the essence, and it wouldn't be too bad. The nail marks on the armrest from the last time Selene drove were still there. Kat's hand fit into its groove and was ready as Selene slammed into reverse, hit the brakes, and then adjusted her mirrors.

Selene laughed at Kat's panicked expression, as though she'd done it on purpose, and then started driving out of the parking lot like a normal person. She glanced up at Arthur's apartment as they passed it, but he wasn't in the window looking down at them as she might have hoped. Kat noticed and smirked at her.

"Seriously, though." Kat said again. "We should talk to Kelly sooner rather than later. Maybe we can talk to Arthur and get everyone together in one place."

Selene bit her bottom lip.

"Not like that!" Kat slapped Selene’s arm. "To talk. To make everything official and figure things out. We don't want Kelly being okay with Arthur dating other people but not okay with us."

Selene nodded. "No, I get it. I agree." She made a turn without using her blinker but remembered to turn it on halfway through when Kat cleared her throat. "Kelly's really nice. I think you'll like her."

Kat smirked. "I know who she is." She sat back in her chair and tightened her grip on the armrest. "Her roommate is on my volleyball team. Katelyn. She's great, but the group calls us the Kats sometimes, which I hate. They're not always the wittiest." Kat frowned. "Never had many occasions to talk to Kelly, though."

"Well, now we do." Selene giggled. "We just need to figure out how to say it. Maybe Katelyn can give you some insight into how to approach Kelly?"

Kat racked her brain, but try as she might, she didn't know how to ask her friend how to best approach her roommate about their group relationship with Arthur. There was no precedent in her mind for that kind of conversation. She could try and google it, but her experience navigating that kind of thing on the web told her she wouldn't find much helpful information.

"It went pretty well with Mindy." Kat reminded her. "Let's just do that."

Selene nodded. "Once she had a chance to process it, yeah. I'm glad Mindy's into the idea."

Mindy was surprised, obviously, but once the surprise was overcome, she seemed intrigued by the idea and then enthusiastic. She was undoubtedly embracing the sisterhood of it now.

"She seems to enjoy having a sort of sisterhood." Kat observed. "I can't say it's a bad idea, each of us looking out for the other like you and I do."

"It's easy to look out for each other when it's for Arthur." Selene smiled and reached over to pat Kat’s arm but put her hand back on the steering wheel as the car beside her honked at them.

"I'll never know how you ever passed your driving exam." Kat muttered. That it had taken Selene four tries, that she'd had to retake the written exam, and that she hadn't managed to get her driver's license until her Sophomore year in college were things Kat tried to forget every time Selene drove.

"I'm a good driver!" Selene protested.

Kat's lips pressed together into a thin line of disagreement.

"Well, I'm okay." Selene shrugged.

Kat shook her head and tried to take a deep breath. "Red light!"

Selene giggled. "Using a safety word to get me to let you drive instead? Really?"

"No! RED LIGHT!" Kat pointed forcefully forward as Selene slammed on the brakes just in time. The car made a squealing noise in protest, and Kat would swear in court that the front bumper of their shared car came within less than a quarter inch of the rear bumper of the vehicle in front of them.

The two sat still as stones, both in shock at the near-miss, until Selene giggled.

"Jesus!" Kat smacked Selene's arm.

Selene continued to giggle until it bubbled up into full-grown laughter. She was laughing so hard she could hardly breathe. Nearly bent over double in her seat as she held onto the steering wheel.

"What the fuck is the matter with you?" Kat looked at her, still trying to calm her racing heart.

Selene was still laughing. "The..." She panted. "Red..." She laughed and slapped the steering wheel. "Light!"

Kat looked at Selene and then realized what she'd said when Kat pointed out the red light. It'd gotten lost in the panic of Selene's obliviousness for a moment, but once she found it again, Kat started giggling too.

The light changed to green, and the cars in front of them started to move forward, so Selene did her best to regain her composure after giving the car in front of them some time to put a decent gap between them. She was still giggling.

"We have to tell Master about that." Selene chuckled.

"You mean, Arthur?" Kat asked with a giggle. "You've called him that a few times now, you know. You really shouldn't be calling him that outside of play. Otherwise, you might slip up, say it in front of your friends or something." She was still laughing at the stoplight and added fresh laughter at the idea of Selene embarrassing herself by calling Arthur 'Master' at the wrong moment.

"Hm." Selene hummed. "It's okay when it's just you and me, right? And maybe Mindy?"

Kat's laughter died down now, and she looked at Selene for a few moments as they drove. "You really get off on calling him Master, don't you?"

Selene smiled softly. "It's not that. It's..." She hesitated, trying to think of a way to say it that didn't make her sound crazy. "It's comforting to think of him as my Master. It makes me feel safe, cared for, protected, whatever." Selene shrugged and tapped the thin leather collar around her throat. "It's why I like wearing this. It's a reminder of him every time I feel it or see it in the mirror."

"I get it." Kat said after a while. "He made me feel that way in the shower. It was awkward, being naked but casual with him...." She thought back to him washing them down and felt herself respond. There was a simplicity in nudity around him and a sense of security. That secure feeling was almost as addictive a feeling as the arousal. "Well, I'm fine if it's just the two of us." Kat shrugged. "But you really should be careful who you say it around."

Selene nodded and stopped protesting, which was as much agreement on the issue as Kat felt she was likely to get.

"Slow down." Kat warned as they pulled onto campus. "Yellow light."

Selene giggled but slowed down all the same. The campus security jeep parked just behind the dumpsters was disappointed at the lack of tickets they could pass out today. They watched Selene and Kat roll past them just under the 15 mph speed limit posted around campus. Plenty of students were out and about today, enjoying one of the last warm, sunny autumn days before the weather eventually turned cold. Selene parked in the lot closest to the dorms and then pulled out her phone to call Mindy.

"What dorm are you in, and where?" Selene asked quickly.

Mindy laughed. "I'm in the Washington building. First floor, Suite 2."

"Okay. See you in like two minutes." Selene hung up as she and Kat exited the car. The walk to the dorm was quick, with Selene always a few paces ahead of Kat. Mindy was waiting for them just inside the dorm and led them swiftly to her suite. The old halls were surprisingly familiar yet exceedingly maze-like, even if they only had to make a few turns before they came to Mindy's door.

Selene and Kat had both lived in the dorms, but not together. They had been in different buildings rooming with other girls, but almost every college dorm building was the same. Two bedrooms linked to a common suite room, one on either side. Each bedroom had two beds, two desks, two dressers, and two closets with barely enough room for clothes. Bare, they all looked the same. After Orientation weekend, they were postered and decorated with all the bits of personality their occupants could craft, bring from home, or purchase from local stores.

Mindy's suitemates were absent, but Selene and Mindy hardly noticed as they made their way through the beige-painted room decorated with paper flowers on the walls. The U-shaped sofa in the middle of the space surrounding a small coffee table was a nice touch, but there was no TV and a mini-fridge on either side of the room. The names Ji-Min and Rachel were splattered across the bedroom door to the right as they entered, cut out in paper and decorated with flowers.

Mindy shoved them through the door and then closed it behind her. The pile of clothes on the bed was even more enormous in person, as though Mindy had emptied her entire dresser and closet onto the bed and became overwhelmed at the hopelessness of choosing entirely because she had too many options.

Her mattress couldn't be seen for all the clothes on it. Her roommate's bed bore a simple blue quilt and pillow, made neatly and piled high with stuffed animals of all shapes and sizes. Mindy's half of the room was decorated with boy bands that neither Selene nor Kat recognized, not being familiar with Korean pop, and bands of girls in gothically stylized lolita dresses wielding heavy-metal guitars and instruments. Selene was distractedly captivated by all of it.

On the other hand, her roommate had posters of bands they had heard of and cringed at seeing.

"Is your roommate a youth pastor?" Selene scoffed and then felt apologetic. She knew Mindy said she'd gone to church that morning, which she was still trying to reconcile with her being okay with this unconventional relationship. She'd said her parents were more traditional, so she assumed it was a thing they made her do, but she didn't want to ask.

"No." Mindy shook her head. "But her dad is."

Selene almost laughed. She'd been teasing Arthur about Mindy's roommate being a prude, but to find out it was true seemed as though she were a prophet. She wondered what he would say if he ever discovered it or what Mindy's roomie might say if she ever discovered Mindy was part of a harem.

"Wow." Kat said with a slight laugh as she took in the in-person size of Mindy's pile of clothes. "Well... I guess we should pick you something slutty to wear before she gets back. Let's get started. Selene... what's Arthur's favorite color?"

"Red." Selene said without hesitation.

Mindy looked as though she felt she should have known that. "Any color he doesn't like?"

Selene had to think about that one for a moment. "Not that I'm aware of?"

Kat nodded and then immediately took command of the situation. "Alright, let's get sorting. Take all the pants off the bed right now. We know he prefers skirts and dresses."

"I have a lot of those." Mindy said apologetically. "Skirts and dresses, I mean."

Kat nodded but had already started pulling jeans, tights, leggings, and anything else trouser-shaped off the bed and threw them onto the floor.

"What about shorts?" Selene asked.

"Shorts can come off too." Kat decided.

Mindy nodded and moved to help. Between the three, they sifted through the pile pretty quickly, even if they sometimes tossed a skirt or dress into one another's pile. The mountain on the bed was smaller now, with about a quarter of the original mass on her floor.

"I don't see any underwear here." Kat looked toward Mindy. "Do you already have some picked out?"

"I..." Mindy hesitated. "I know you said he liked lingerie, but I wasn't sure what kind, so I bought a bunch."

"Okay." Kat agreed. "Clothes first. Then we'll sift through your undies."

Selene smirked slightly as she lifted up a crop top. "Okay, so... top and skirt combo, or a dress?" Selene asked. "I think he prefers dresses, but what are you more comfortable in?"

"Do you have any red dresses?" Kat asked Mindy.

"The one I showed you on face time." Mindy said. "But it's a little too short, I think."

"Any others?" Selene asked, hopefully.

"Not here." She shook her head. "I have a red Christmas dress at my parents,' but it's a little out of season."

"Any red tops?" Selene asked.

"No... wait, yes. I have this sweater." She yanked out a red sweater that was open in the front, and the top was much shorter than the sleeves. "It's a cropped sweater, open front, ties in front in little bows, see?" She held it up, hopefully.

"It's cute!" Selene said enthusiastically. It didn't look particularly warm, with how little of it there was. It was, however, a cute accent piece to an outfit.

Mindy groaned. "We don't need cute! We need sexy! I want him to look at me and want to rip my clothes off!"

Kat shook her head, which caused her curls to bounce. "He's too much a gentleman for that. He's going to treat you like a princess, especially on your first date."

Mindy seemed to frown at that. "I knew I should have made a move on him in the storage closet."

Selene giggled. "You had him in the storage closet?"

"At work." Mindy smirked. "We had to empty out the storage closet of all the marketing materials because there was a leak. We were alone there for a few seconds at a time. He was all dressed up but slowly getting more casual as he got hot and sweaty moving all those boxes...." Mindy seemed to trail off in thought as her sentence trailed off in volume.

Selene and Kat smirked at her, but they were picturing it too, even if they couldn't recall it from memory.

"Well, you missed your chance. Next time, go for it." Selene teased her.

Kat laughed. "Until then, there's no escaping him treating you well."

"You have to tell him if you want something else." Selene reminded Mindy. "Like, I have to remind him sometimes to be firm with Kat because she can be a brat."

"And I remind him to treat Selene like a slut, because that's what she is." Kat spat back.

Mindy laughed. "So his default is to treat me like a princess unless I tell him to treat me like a whore?"

Kat and Selene nodded, still sifting through her clothes.

"Which one do you want?" Kat asked. "If you want to dress like a whore, we just need to find the dress with the least amount of fabric."

"Maybe somewhere in between?" Selene suggested when she saw that Mindy looked nervous.

Mindy nodded, her dark black hair falling forward. She pushed it back behind her ear, picked up a long maxi dress, and threw it to the floor.

"So slutty, but not too slutty. Something, a little classy, maybe?" Kat asked. Sifting through the clothes on the bed was an almost Sisyphean labor. It felt like every time she got to the bottom of her pile, it grew back from Selene, making way through hers.

"How about this?" Selene asked as she plucked a dress from the pile and held it against Mindy.

Mindy stepped back from the bed and stood straight so the dress could fall against her. It was a black cotton dress that seemed to fall to her knees, but it was shapeless, and its high neckline and capped sleeves wouldn't show off any of her curves.

"Hm..." Kat looked at Mindy holding the dress against herself and shook her head. "No. Nothing black. We want to show off your shape. Your assets, right?"

Mindy seemed to think about it for a moment and then nodded.

"Okay. Everything black, off the bed." Kat pointed her thumb over her shoulder to the pile of clothes in Mindy's closet.

Removing all of the black clothes reduced Mindy's pile by another quarter. They were getting closer, and Selene was excited by some of the prospects. She held up a yellow crop top that would have shown off any abs Mindy might have. Arthur would be into that, being so into fitness and clearly enjoying Kelly's muscular definition.

"This is cute." Selene said, offering it up to Mindy.

"Ugh. Yellow and red, no. She's not a traffic light." Kat said. Then she and Selene giggled so simultaneously that Mindy was sure she missed a joke.

"Did I miss something?" Mindy asked.

"Sorry." Selene giggled. "Our safewords with Arthur are red light when we need to stop and yellow light when we need to slow down."

"Oh." Mindy nodded. "Oh!" She giggled. "Should I just wear green, then?" The other two answered in giggles. "And I guess I should decide on a safeword."

"Only if you intend to find yourself in a situation where you might need to use it." Kat shrugged.

Mindy looked at Selene. They both blushed and looked away.

"Or just use red light, yellow light." Kat suggested. "Less for Arthur to have to remember."

"I think he can keep it all straight." Selene defended Arthur, to no one's surprise. "But you can use it if you want to." Selene nodded.

Mindy nodded but didn't say whether she would use it. She kept moving her clothes around but tossed the yellow top onto the pile in her closet. She picked out the rest of the yellow and tossed it aside.

"What about this?" Selene asked, and she held up a white dress. Its waist was narrow and cinched. The top looked like it was barely there, but Kat realized it was because it was a backless halter dress. The straps looked like it had a low neckline too.

"I usually wear that with a sweater over it." Mindy explained.

"Perfect!" Kat cried out as she held up the red cropped sweater. "Between the two of these, you have an outfit!"

Selene clapped. "Let's see them on you."

Mindy nodded and peeled off her t-shirt in a blink.

"Not shy at all?" Kat asked with a slight laugh.

Mindy looked surprised. "I'm sorry, I thought it-"

"She's just teasing you." Selene assured her. "We've all been in a locker room. We're all friends here, and this is your room. Go for it."

Mindy nodded and finished stripping down as she stepped out of her pajama pants, leaving her in a black sports bra and a pair of white cotton panties.

Kat couldn't help but look her over, comparing Mindy's toned legs to her thick ones.

Mindy put on the dress and quickly tied the straps of the halter into a bow behind her neck. Then she put on the sweater.

"Looks good!" Selene gave her the thumbs up.

"Hm..." Kat seemed to consider it for a moment. "I think it's missing something...."

Selene looked at Kat and then back at Mindy. She thought it over and looked Mindy over as she stood there awkwardly, holding her hands in front of her and looking down. When Mindy looked up, Selene finally knew what might be missing.

"Do you have any chokers?" Selene asked. "He likes collars."

Mindy's eyes flicked to the thin leather collar around Selene's throat and then to Kat's bare neck.

"I only wear a collar when I'm playing. Otherwise, it's hung up next to the door, remember?" Kat smirked. "But a choker isn't a bad idea if you have any cute ones and don't mind things against your throat."

"You seem to get over that quickly when Master puts that collar on you." Selene stuck her tongue out at her.

Kat shrugged. "It's... different. And temporary." She defended. "Do you have any?" She asked Mindy.

"Or I can lend you one." Selene suggested. "But not this one." She pressed her fingers against the thin leather strap around her throat possessively.

"And it's too late to run back to the apartment." Kat reminded her.

"We have time." Selene said, glancing at the clock. "If I drive fast..."

Kat shook her head. "If you want to drive back to the apartment and grab a choker for her, go for it."

"I have some." Mindy finally got a word in edgewise. She opened the top drawer of her dresser and rooted around a bit. Then she finally seemed to find what she was looking for. It was a long strip of deep red velvet with thin black string laces tied through the thread-reinforced holes at either end.

"Perfect." Selene smiled. "You can tie the laces into a bow to match the sweater!"

Kat nodded her approval. "And we need to do something about your legs...." She said after a moment. "You're wearing heels, right?"

"Yeah." Mindy said as she raised her arms to tie the choker. Selene moved to help her. The velvet strip wrapped around her neck nearly twice. Then the thin black strings tied off into a lovely little bow in the front. "I figured socks? Since we're bowling?"

Selene shook her head. "Something classy and slightly reminiscent of the office?" Selene suggested. "Stockings?"

"Won't those get in the way?" Kat asked.

"I have knee-high socks." Mindy suggested.

"Hm... those might be cute." Selene nodded.

"But we don't want cute." Kat reminded her on Mindy's behalf.

"Do you have thigh highs?" Selene suggested.

"Only the garter-belt kind." Mindy shrugged.

"That's even better." Kat assured her. "Something tells me Arthur will love a good garter belt."

"Let's call it submissive intuition." Selene suggested.

"Let's not!" Kat said cheerfully. She gave Selene a look that suggested her tone was entirely false. She turned her attention back to Mindy. "We definitely have to change that underwear, though. You said you bought lingerie?"

Mindy nodded and returned to the dresser. She opened the second drawer from the top and scooped up two armfuls of lace, string, and sheer fabric. Selene cleared the rest of the bed by pushing it all onto the floor, and Mindy dumped them out onto her bed.

"I went kind of nuts at the store." Mindy admitted and blushed as she looked down at the floor. "I uh... wasn't sure what he would like."

"He'll like all of it, I'm sure." Kat laughed. "What makes you feel sexy?"

"All of it." Mindy laughed. "It's all the skimpiest, sexiest stuff I could find."

"Anything red?" Selene asked, spotting the obvious answer as she raised a pair of skimpy sheer lace panties.

"Those, for sure." Kat nodded. "And for the top?"

"Well, with the backless dress...." Selene seemed to be thinking it over.

"Are you thinking braless?" Kat asked.

Selene nodded as Mindy scoffed. Selene gave her a surprised look.

"Oh, you're serious?" Mindy asked.

"Yeah. I think Arthur would like easy access...." Selene suggested. She got quieter the more she went on, not sure why Mindy was giving her a look of disbelief.

"I don't think I've gone without a bra since I was twelve." Mindy scoffed. "I got them heavy boobs."

Kat looked puzzled, but Selene laughed.

"From crazy ex-girlfriend?" Selene asked Kat as though her question explained everything.

However, Kat's confused look failed to fade, and she shrugged it off. "If you're not comfortable going braless, do you have something that will match the bottoms?"

"Yeah." Mindy raised up a matching bra. It was sheer red lace all over, and the cups were more prominent than any bra in either of their bedrooms, even if they were only half-cupped. Selene almost laughed, but she figured her Master would like the variety. Not only was Mindy different in breast size, but her black hair contrasted with Selene and Kat's blonde. Mindy's darker complexion, different ethnicity, and different body shape helped to round out his harem.

Selene knew Arthur would enjoy Mindy's breasts. He liked curvy, well-built women like Mindy, Kelly, and Kat. Selene's own curves were on the slender side. She knew that, but she enjoyed pleasing her Master anyway.

"Maybe bring it in your purse." Selene suggested. "If it gets too much, go to the bathroom and put it on. But that doesn't look like it'll offer much support anyway. You should try to go without it for as long as you can. Arthur will enjoy it when he realizes you're not wearing a bra, and the sweater will cover up any accidental side boob."

Mindy seemed to think it over but finally nodded. Selene knew Arthur's romantic and sexual preferences better than she did. Selene was the mastermind behind this whole arrangement anyway, so it was probably best to trust her judgment. Mindy was trying so many new things already, so why not one more by going out without a bra?

"Okay." Mindy said as she folded the bra in her hands.

"Perfect." Selene smiled.

"Now, what are you doing for hair and makeup?" Kat asked as her phone went off.

Selene and Mindy turned to that while Kat checked her phone. She had an email notification that made her smile, and she opened it as Mindy sat at her desk, and Selene started brushing her hair. The two of them chatted about something Kat didn't listen to while she read over what Arthur had sent her. The first of hopefully many lesson plans.

"From: Arthur

To: Katerine

Subject: Lesson 001 Showing You the Ropes

Kat,

I've taken the liberty of gathering a few resources you might want to read up on ahead of time (attached is a sheet of links). Totally optional, but hopefully, they'll put you at ease about being tied up and give you an idea of what to expect.

Now, for the schedule of the session, I've decided we should follow this agenda:

The Collaring

Equipment Inspection

Review of Previous Material

Punishments

Playtime

Aftercare

The Uncollaring

The Collaring - The submissive will present herself and receive her collar. She will undress to the specified costume (see below). She will kneel at her Dominant's feet and put on her collar if she wishes to submit herself. She will then recite her pledge of submission, and the session will officially begin with all its rules adhered to by both the submissive and her Dom.

Costume - A pair of panties or bikini bottoms may be worn if the submissive desires. Nipple clamps are also permissible but should be added after the ties are complete. Otherwise, she should be totally nude (preferred).

Collar - Pink, leather, o ring, steel buckle. Kat's personal collar will be hung by the door before play. The Dom will take it from the wall and place it around her throat when she kneels in the Nadu position and accepts it.

Submissive's Pledge:
