WIP: Harem House Chapter 28 - Part 4

“I’m going back down the line.” Arthur informed her. “But first, I want to change up some placements. Brat, I want you down here on my left at the end of the bed.” He pointed. “Babygirl, I want you on the far right side, so your left shoulder isn’t against anyone.” 

Both girls pushed off the bed and moved into position, though Katelyn had to wait for Rani and Mindy to roll over. Once Rani was on the bottom and Mindy was on top, Katelyn bent over the bed again. 

“On your backs.” Arthur corrected. “I want all of you laying side by side, on your backs, with your legs in the air.” 

The girls shuffled into position, lying across the bed. Arthur faced them, got the rope ready, and started tying them off with a smile. Kat, Selene, Kelly, Rani, Mindy, and Katelyn lay next to each other on the bed, hip to hip and shoulder to shoulder. The nine-foot wide bed was the largest one Arthur had ever seen, and he was glad of it. He’d need a bed like this, or maybe two standard king-sized beds pushed together when he moved into the Master Bedroom at the house. 

He started at Kat’s end, tying the rope to her ankle cuff, looping it through the ring on her collar, and tying it off to her other ankle cuff. He clipped her ankle cuff to Selene’s as they crossed ankles. Then he repeated the tie on Selene so the sisters had their legs up in Vs, overlapping each other and exposing themselves to him with their butts on the edge of the bed. He went down the line as quickly as he could, playing with them as he went, teasing them, keeping them hot and wet. Kat’s leg crossed Selene’s, Selene’s other leg crossed Kelly’s, Kelly’s other leg crossed Rani’s, Rani’s other leg crossed Mindy’s, and Mindy’s crossed Katelyn’s. 

Arthur started at Katelyn’s end, pushing against her thighs with his body and straightening her legs against his torso, his face between her calves. He thrust into her slowly, and she gripped the side of the bed with one hand and clutched Mindy’s thigh with the other. 

“Sorry!” She said to Mindy, yanking her hand away. 

“Clutch away.” Mindy said, warmth in her voice. “I like it.” 

Katelyn looked a little nervous, but Mindy took her hand and guided her finger to Mindy’s thigh, moving her palm further inside her legs. The side of Katelyn’s hand brushed Mindy’s bush, but Mindy held her hand when she flinched. 

“You don’t have to do anything with the girls if you don’t want to.” Arthur reminded her. 

“No, it’s okay… I just… feel weird fingering a girl I don’t know.” Katelyn said. “I’m nervous.” 

“Don’t be?” Mindy said, asking more than telling. “You know me. I’m the harem whore. You can fingerbang me anytime.” She winked at Katelyn, who laughed and tentatively started rubbing Mindy. 

With the two of them going at it, Arthur noticed the chain went down the line. Mindy returned the favor, rubbing Katelyn’s clit just above where Arthur impaled her. Her other hand fingered Rani’s exposed slit, and Rani had her hand between Mindy and Kelly’s legs. Kelly had her hands between Rani’s and Selene’s. Selene had one hand between Kelly’s legs and her other arm around Kat. Kat rubbed herself.  

Arthur smiled. “Good girls.” 

A chorus of thank you’s rose from the mattress. 

“Are you ready, Babygirl?” Arthur asked. “I’m going to go hard.” 

Katelyn nodded. “Fuck me, Daddy.” She gasped as Mindy’s fingers twitched against her clit. 

Arthur nodded, held onto her legs, and pumped into her. He started slowly but continued gaining speed until Katelyn had to grip Mindy’s hole with two fingers to hold on. Mindy enjoyed the hell out of it, watching Katelyn get pounded for the next few minutes, and she doubled down on Katelyn’s clit until the skinny girl was nothing but a quivering mess. 

She came when Arthur plucked the nipple clamps still attached to her puffy pink nipples and tore them off her. The instant relief and sensation tore through her, even as Arthur plowed her. He slowed by necessity as her body clamped down onto him, her pale body twitching with ecstasy as she shuddered and twisted. 

When Arthur withdrew, Katelyn was exhausted. She marveled at him as she saw his glistening torso. He cupped her face with his palm against her cheek, called her a good girl, and moved on to the next. 

Rani worked Mindy’s clit as Arthur entered her, and Mindy used her now free hand to grope her breasts. Arthur moved her hand away, leaning over her between her thighs and gripping her breasts in his palms, pushing them up slightly. 

Mindy gasped. 

“You like my tits, Boss?” Mindy asked. 

“You know I do.” Arthur said. 

“You can suck them anytime you want. From now on, I’ll go braless in the office and wear button-up blouses and blazers. All you have to do is signal, and I’ll open my shirt for you.” Mindy smiled up at him, teasing him, possibly, but enjoying the hungry growl he gave as he squeezed her breasts hard enough to make her cry out and arch her back in pleasure. 

Her fucking was hard, fast, relentless, and destructive. The other girls tried to brace against the jostling and did their best, but they had to huddle closer and hold on to keep from moving around on the bed too much. The blanket beneath them was a goner, but no one cared how messed up it got. Katelyn was the only one who relaxed; the others watched wide-eyed, waiting their turn. 

“Slap me!” Mindy cried. 

Arthur slapped her across the face, once, twice, and then repeated what he’d done to Katelyn. He gripped the chain linking her nipple clamps, yanked it off, and followed it up immediately with a slap to the side of her breast. 

Mindy curled, her shoulders and back lifted off the mattress, and she grabbed the back of her knees as she came, crying out in a high-pitched, unintelligible noise. She brought her hands to Arthur, raking his torso as she fell back against the mattress, and he pulled out of her. 

Arthur felt her body relax and pulled out of her, staggering back from the exertion. He wiped the sweat from his brow, determined to last until Kat at the end of the row. He took a few breaths to steady himself, then moved between Rani’s legs. 

“Fuck me, my King. Take your concubine, and fuck her like the primal beast you are, deep down.” Rani smiled at him, reaching for his hands. 

He held her hands and grunted his assent, notching himself against her folds. He pushed into her inch by inch, leaning back a little, letting her rest her legs against him. He held onto her hips, readied himself, then started fucking. 

Rani took a deep breath to prepare herself and made the most of it. She gave up trying to hold onto Kelly, but Kelly didn’t give up on her. Mindy had her hand between them while Kelly went to town rubbing circles around Rani’s clit with her fingertips and bringing them together to trap her clit as if her hand were sucking on the bud hidden in her pink and brown folds. 

Rani moaned from her chest through her throat. Arthur kissed her calf, and she shivered. He bit her leg gently, his hands pressing on the insides of her thighs, holding her apart as he fucked her like the primal beast she wanted him to be. Arthur roared in exertion, letting loose as he vented his power not only as his hips fucked Rani but as his body sought the release he held back. 

The deep baritone of the yell startled Kelly, Mindy, and the others. Rani nearly came from it, clutching toward him. His grip shifted, and he grabbed her under her hips, lifting her off the mattress and pulling her toward him, dragging her and the girls tied to her in one pull. Then he pumped his arms as he pumped his hips, breathing hard, ragged, and loud with grunts as Rani arched her back and cried out, twisting to the point where the others had to hold her down to keep her from hurting herself or them. 

Arthur withdrew, staggering back and falling onto his butt on the floor. 

The girls looked up, slightly alarmed, but he raised a hand. 

“I’m okay.” Arthur said, his breath still ragged. “My legs are tired.” He used the mattress to pull himself up and push himself to his feet. 

“Don’t stop now.” Kelly said. “I don’t need it that rough or hard.” She assured him. “But I’d still like to feel you inside me, Hubby.” 

Arthur nodded. He took a quick sip of water and lined up with Kelly. He went much slower and gentler with her, catching his breath. Kelly rolled her hips, helping as she could, despite her limited movement. 

Selene and Kat watched with gentle smiles on their lips. The girls on Kelly’s other side were a disordered mess, exhausted. Rani was a hot, sweaty mess; her arms were up above her head, pinning her hair, which had come loose. Her breathing was still heavy, but slowing, sweat glistened on every facet of her naked body, and Arthur smirked to see Mindy and Katelyn were much the same. 

Kelly gazed at him with loving eyes with the sparkle of hunter’s green. Arthur's eyes lowered from her gaze, following the trail of her freckles to her breasts. She bit her lip and groped them, offering them up to him as she arched her back. 

Arthur bent over her, his hands planted under her arms on the mattress. He sucked her breast into his mouth, teasing the underside of her breasts. 

Kelly gasped, her legs held in the V as Arthur folded over her and pumped her into the mattress with every thrust. Meanwhile, his tongue and breath played along her breasts with the skill of any finger, teasing out her sensitive spots and making her gasp and moan the way only he could. He knew her body, and he pleasured her with every purposeful touch. 

Kelly moaned unashamed, falling back into the mattress and doing her best to match him until the tide of pleasure swept her away. She shook and shivered, a small orgasm, perhaps. Still, it was enough to signal Arthur, and he withdrew.

“Thank you, Master.” Kelly said with a contented sigh. She relaxed against the bed and held Selene's hands. 

“Do Brat first, Master.” Selene said as Arthur stepped into position. “I’m still a little… um…” 

“Sore from the vibrators? And the pounding I just gave you?” Arthur asked. 

Selene nodded. “Yes, Master. Not that I don’t want you to fuck me, but if you only have so much left in you, I’d rather you give it to Brat.” 

Arthur nodded. “Such a considerate sister.” He groped Selene’s breast, then released her. He side-stepped to stand between Kat’s legs, her ankles against his pecs as he lined up with her. “You should think about how to thank your sister for her generosity.” 

Kat smiled and shrugged. “Just fuck me, if you can even get it up after all that– AAAH!” 

Arthur cut her brattiness off as he grabbed her hips and dragged her to him, impaling her on his length and fucking himself with her. She wasn’t the lightest of the girls on the bed, but that didn’t slow him down. 

Kat’s initial ‘Ah!’ turned into a shriek. She clutched her breasts to hold them still, groping herself incidentally. Selene moaned beside her, fingering herself as she watched. The others were relaxed on the bed, their legs still tied up and open, but their breathing more even now that they’d been through what Kat was going through. 

The rough fucking he gave Kat was brutal, though not as ferocious as Rani’s. Arthur fucked her hard and fast, holding her in place, first by her hips and then by her clit, his hand pushing her down just above where he entered her, his thumb trapped under his hand, circling her clit in slow circles, contradicting his fast pace. 

Kat’s pleasure crescendoed in waves that tore through her. She let everyone know it as vocally as possible. The screams and cries of pleasure tore out of her in a recurring stream until she finally seized up, spasming as she arched her back off the mattress, her shoulders and hips pressing down, and held the position as her limbs shook. She twisted and cried, her body a sweaty, ruined mess as Arthur stepped away. 

“Still too sore, Slut?” Arthur asked, taking breaths between the words. 

“That doesn’t matter, Master.” Selene answered. “Your pleasure does. I’m yours to fuck whenever you want.” 

Arthur grimaced. It mattered more to him than to her, it seemed. Still, he had a compromise in mind. He untied Kat, then Selene, and the others. It was quick to undo the knot, letting them lower their legs to the floor. Most of them kept their backs on the bed except Selene. She sat up, and Arthur signaled for her to spin around. She laid face-down, and Arthur gestured for her to roll over. She turned face-up, and Arthur pulled her so her head hung off the edge of the bed with her shoulders in line with the edge of it. 

“I’m going to fuck that throat of yours, Slut.” Arthur said. “Are you ready?” 

Selene adjusted so the side of the mattress became her pillow. “Yes, Master.” She said, opening her mouth wide. 

Arthur pressed his tip into her mouth, and she sucked with everything she had, caving in her cheeks. He gestured to Kat and Kelly, and together, they shifted and held Selene’s arms, half-pinning her and half-restraining her in place. 

Kelly went one step further and sucked on Selene’s nipple, crawling on top of her and playing with her breasts. 

Arthur placed his hands on either side of Selene’s head, holding her steady as he pressed into her throat. He tilted his head back and sighed as she swallowed, milking his cock as he pressed in. He withdrew, and she inhaled through her nose, taking in the musky scent and the mingled taste of the other girls. 

Selene was in heaven with Kelly on top of her. Kelly nipped her nipple, and Selene moaned, vibrating her throat with Arthur’s cock lodged inside it. 

“Fuck.” Arthur grunted. “Such a good girl.” 

Selene moaned louder, swallowing him and clutching Kelly as Arthur fucked her face. 

“Whore, why don’t you go ahead and use that tongue of yours on Slut’s clit?” Arthur asked. 

Mindy lifted her tired head and smiled wickedly. She gave Arthur a thumbs up and crawled up the bed. Kelly spread her legs and shifted to the side to give Mindy access. Mindy moved Selene’s legs, crawling between them, laying face-down with her lips locked on Selene’s folds. She sucked, licked, and tongue-fucked the blonde ballerina with all the gusto she had left. 

Selene gripped the sheets, trying to endure the pleasure for as long as she could. 

Arthur gripped Selene’s face, trying to endure but letting himself relax. He could cum now without issue, and this was the end of the night as far as their play was concerned. He wouldn’t have another in him, and he was thoroughly exhausted, as were his lovers. 

Selene’s fucking was a slow and lazy event compared to the others, but everyone enjoyed themselves. Kat watched, fascinated, as Arthur’s dick stretched Selene’s throat. Rani watched through half-lidded eyes. Katelyn watched in almost disbelief as Selene brought Arthur closer to the edge with every throaty moan. 

Finally, Arthur’s grip tensed and twitched, his body spasming as he shot his load into Selene’s mouth. She swallowed all of him, sitting up as soon as he finished and smiling broadly. Mindy wasn’t done, but Selene tapped her on the head three times, and Mindy withdrew, rolling over and taking a deep breath. 

Selene did the same. They all caught their breath as Arthur slunk against the bed and relaxed. Kelly draped her hand over the edge of the mattress, laying her hand on Arthur’s large pec, feeling his heartbeat slow and his breathing normalize. 

“Thank you, Master.” Kelly said, patting him. “That was… the whole night…” 

“Yeah.” Selene said. 

“Thank you, Sir.” Kat said. 

“Thank you, Master.” Selene said. 

“Thanks, Boss!” Mindy said, holding up a thumb in cheer. Her arm fell half a second later, falling like a tree onto the mattress. 

“Thank you, my King. This whole weekend has been… amazing.” Rani said, choking up a little. 

Mindy shifted, cuddling Rani. 

“Thank you, Daddy.” Katelyn said. Arthur could hear the smile in her voice without turning to look. “Thank all of you.” 

Kat scoffed. “So what do you think, Babygirl? Do you want to join our sex cult?” 

Katelyn laughed. “Well, that was one hell of an introduction.” She admitted. “How can I say no?” 

“Don’t make any decisions now.” Arthur said, holding up his hand. “Think about it first.” 

Arthur pushed to his feet, and Katelyn looked at him in surprise. 

“Do you not want me to anymore?” Katelyn asked. 

Arthur looked confused. “Of course I do. I just want you to do it in the right headspace, which is not in the middle of the night after an intense bondage and fucking session where you look ready to fall asleep.” 

Katelyn’s expression was unreadable to Arthur for a moment, but she softened as her brain caught up to what he was saying. 

“You see why we like him?” Kelly asked, smiling. 

“Yeah.” Katelyn said. “In more ways than one.” 

Arthur smiled and gestured for them to get up. 

“There can’t possibly be more.” Katelyn said in disbelief. 

Arthur laughed. “The sex is done for the night, I think. And so is the bondage. But now we do the aftercare.” 

Katelyn stared at him as if waiting for him to explain. The others started pushing off the bed before they fell asleep, lining up shoulder to shoulder at the foot of the bed. Katelyn was the last off the mattress, but Arthur helped her to her feet. 

Arthur started with Katelyn, unbuckling her ankle cuffs first, then her wrist cuffs, and finally her collar, setting them aside. 

“Does anything hurt?” Arthur asked. 

“My shoulder’s fine.” Katelyn said. “It hurts but not like more than it did before all of this.” 

“I mean anything else. Any soreness where the cuffs were? Any chafing? Any bruising?” Arthur asked. “On any of you?” 

“My ass hurts.” Katelyn said, making a few of them giggle and agree that theirs hurt, too. Spankings could be rough. No one had any injuries or pains that they could identify, which was a positive sign. 

“Did you enjoy being tied up?” Arthur asked. 

“Yeah, it was okay.” Katelyn said, nodding. “Kind of hot, honestly, and it looked beautiful on the others.” 

Arthur nodded. 

“I loved it.” Mindy said. “Tie me up anytime!” 

Rani shrugged. “It was fun.” 

Kelly nodded. “I thought it was fun.” 

“You know I loved it.” Selene said. 

“Eh.” Kat shrugged. Selene smacked her arm, and Kat stuck her tongue out at her. 

Arthur laughed. “What was your least favorite activity tonight?” He asked as he continued unbuckling the girls. 

“Hmm…” Katelyn had to consider everything they’d done. “The spanking, definitely. I did not enjoy the pain.” She touched her sensitive backside. “It wasn’t safe word worthy, I don’t think, but… I didn’t get off on it if that makes sense. If given the option, I’d avoid it altogether.” 

“Sounds like spanking is a good punishment for you then, when you need some punishment.” Arthur said with a wink. 

Katelyn frowned. “I’m a good girl! I never need punishment.” 

Arthur looked at Kelly, who looked at Katelyn. 

“Well… not all the time.” Katelyn said. 

Arthur laughed. 

“What was up with the language kink?” Arthur asked. “I meant to ask you about that.” 

“Oh, that’s not really a kink.” Katelyn shook her head. “That’s just a thing we do. I grew up with parents who cussed all the time. Not in an angry way, but just part of everyday stuff. So, I’m used to colorful language, but as a teacher, I can’t exactly teach the kids all the fun new words their parents might hate.” 

“Fair.” Arthur chuckled. 

“So Kelly tries to help me by calling me on it, and we had a swear jar for a while.” Katelyn said. 

“We still do.” Kelly said. “You just got around it by never having cash, so I stopped making you use it.” 

“Well, I have an obvious solution; we’ll just use spankings instead of a swear jar. That should train you out of the habit.” Arthur said with a smile. 

Katelyn laughed. “Yeah, that would work.” 

“What about the rest of you? Least favorite activity?” Arthur asked. 

“I enjoyed all of it except maybe the stopping and the breaks.” Mindy said. 

“The twenty questions was probably my least favorite, not that it was bad, just not as good as sex.” Rani shrugged. 

“Walking through the hallway.” Kelly said after some consideration. “I know I kept a brave face, but I was terrified someone would come out and see us.” 

Arthur nodded. 

“Yeah, that was super risky.” Kat agreed. 

“That’s what made it so hot!” Mindy said. 

“I would have died if that elevator dinged and some elderly couple stepped out of the elevator to see us all slutted up and walking on leashes.” Kelly said. 

Rani snorted. 

“Fair point. I was paying attention to that and had a plan, but I’m glad we didn’t need to use it.” Arthur said. 

“I figured you had a plan just in case.” Kelly admitted, kissing his cheek. 

With their cuffs and collars removed, except for Selene’s thin leather choker, the girls stood naked. Arthur gestured for them to head toward the bathroom, and they shuffled in as they talked. 

The tile floor was colder than the bedroom carpet, but the room was bright and wide. On the left wall was a glass mirror above a two-sink counter. On the right wall was a large hot tub and a toilet. The shower at the far wall was a glass wall separating off the last portion of the room with a rain head between two opposing hand-held shower heads. Arthur turned the water on and stepped inside. Kelly gathered towels for everyone when they stepped out. 

“My least favorite part was probably the interruption with Arthur punishing Selene for her prank on Lynn, which was brilliant, by the way.” Kat said. 

Kelly glared at Kat but didn’t speak. 

“My least favorite part was probably that, too.” Selene said. “Sorry, Master.” 

“It’s okay.” Arthur said. “But we’ve talked about that. No use dwelling on it.” 

The others agreed. 

“How did you all feel about submitting to Kelly as your Mistress-slash-Momma?” Arthur asked. 

“You were amazing.” Rani said, holding on to Kelly’s arm as the water warmed up and cascaded over them. A murmur of mutual agreement, congratulations, and encouragement rose from the girls, making Kelly blush and hide her face. 

“I still prefer submitting to Master, don’t get me wrong, but I’ll be glad to call you Mistress whenever Master tells me to.” Selene smiled, blowing Kelly a kiss. 

Kelly returned her smile and gesture. 

The shower was more to rinse off the sweat and spot-wash than to actually shower. Still, they got to it, and the conversation lulled. Mindy showered for real, washing her hair. Arthur scrubbed off the washable marker writing he’d put on their backs, even if Selene fought him and squealed as he held her down to scrub it away.

The naked bodies crammed into the admittedly large shower were still tightly packed, and there wasn’t a lot of maneuverability, so her escape attempt was over quickly. 

Arthur washed as well, planning to skip the shower in the morning if he had the time to freshen up. 

Rani was one of the first ones out, followed by Mindy. They dried off by the time Arthur exited, and the conversation continued. 

“So, what was your favorite part?” Arthur asked. 

“Ooo.” Selene said, thinking. “That’s a tough one. Finally being allowed to cum, and then forced to cum until I couldn’t cum anymore?” 

“Hot.” Rani called out to a general giggle. “My favorite part was probably caning Mindy. No, wait, I change my answer to that growl you did when you were fucking me. That was hot. Real grade A primal shit, my King.” 

Arthur laughed. “I’m glad you enjoyed that.” 

“I’m glad someone enjoyed the caning.” Mindy pouted. 

Rani looked surprised. 

“I’m just kidding. I enjoyed that too, way more than I should have, and the rough fucking was amazing, and being gagged, blindfolded, and walked like a pet down the hallway was hot as fuck. I’m dripping just thinking about it.” Mindy dried herself off between her legs with a towel. 

“Teasing Nicki was fun.” Rani added. 

“I was so nervous about that.” Kat admitted. “But it seemed to work out okay. It was intense, though, being naked in front of someone I don’t know.” 

“Kinda hot, though, right?” Rani asked. 

“Yeah…” Kat admitted. “Kinda hot.” 

The girls laughed. 

“My favorite part was probably helping Katelyn ride you, honestly. I enjoyed everything we did, but that really stands out to me as something I want to do more.” Kelly said. 

Katelyn blushed and looked away but didn’t say anything. 

“You stripping me and spanking me was hot as fuck. I’d do that again in a heartbeat.” Kat said. 

“I’m sure there’ll be another opportunity for that. You brat often enough.” Arthur said, making the others laugh.

Kat stuck her tongue out at him, and Arthur whipped his towel at her, missing her by a few good inches but making her yelp and scamper away with laughter. 

“What was your favorite part, Master?” Selene asked. 

“All of it.” Arthur said. “But if I had to pick one specific moment… honestly, the group blowjob in the beginning, and everyone working together at the end… those were my favorite moments. That and watching porn together, and the hallway, and the trolley bondage, and the… yeah, all of it.” He chuckled. “This was a fantastic night.” 

“Agreed.” Kelly said, patting his butt. “This was a great idea, Hubby.” 

Arthur patted her ass in return and gave her a squeeze. 

“Ooo.” Kelly said, squeaking. “Don’t start that, or we’ll never get to sleep.” 

Arthur laughed. 

“Any advice for me on what to do better next time?” Arthur asked. 

The girls looked at each other, seeing if anyone else could think of anything, but came up empty-handed. They all shrugged, except for Katelyn. 

“Not that I can think of.” Kelly said. “Honestly, Arthur, this was amazing. Thank you for trusting me, letting me help you with it, and letting me be the mistress of your harem.” 

“Yeah.” Selene agreed. “Thank you for letting me be your slut.” 

“Thanks for letting me be your whore!” Mindy slapped Arthur’s butt and ran into the bedroom before he could grab her, giggling all the way. 

“Thanks for letting me come along tonight.” Katelyn said. “I know this was a preview kind of thing, but… I had a lot of fun and sex. God. The sex was…” 

“Right?” Kelly asked, giggling. 

Katelyn, Kat, and Kelly all broke down into giggles, moving into the bedroom as a trio. 

“Is the laughter a good thing?” Arthur asked himself aloud, staring after them. 

Rani groped his butt. “It’s a good thing. Fuck man, don’t be so insecure.” 

Arthur slapped her butt, and she stuck it toward him for another. 

“One for good luck?” She asked. 

Arthur slapped her other cheek, and she smiled, traipsing into the bedroom ahead of him. 

“Seriously.” Kat said, stopping at his side. “This was great. Today was great. You’re… you did an excellent job, and I’m… I’m glad Selene talked me into this whole crazy thing. It’s… you’re… I mean, we…” 

“Yeah.” Arthur said, agreeing with what she was trying to say. He couldn’t find the words to express the feeling, so he didn’t try. The harem meant a lot to him, but more than that, the girls each meant a lot to him on their own. He cared for each of them and loved them even though each woman and relationship differed. 

“Come on.” Kelly said, sticking her head through the door. “Momma’s tired and wants to figure out sleeping arrangements.” 

Arthur laughed. Kat and Selene took his arms, one on each, and the three walked out together. 

“Arthur in the middle, obviously.” Rani said, pointing at the bed. 

“I’ll sleep at the foot of the bed if that’s okay.” Selene said, gesturing to the space at the edge. 

“Then who gets to sleep next to Master?” Mindy asked. 

“Well, Kelly, obviously.” Rani gestured. 

“And then…” The girls looked at each other, then at Arthur. 

“Who’s the stillest sleeper?” Arthur asked. 

They looked confused. 

“The person who moves around the least in their sleep?” Arthur asked. 

“Probably me.” Kat said, raising her hand. “I don’t roll around much.” 

Selene nodded. 

“Okay, then, Kat, you’re on top of me, if that’s okay. Kelly, you’re on my right. Rani, you’re on my left. Mindy, you’re on Rani’s left. Katelyn, you’re on Kelly’s right. Selene, you’re at the foot of the bed.” 

“Let’s give it a shot.” Rani shrugged. 

Once they were dry, Rani started to move for her luggage, but Arthur shook his head. “No pajamas. Everyone’s sleeping naked tonight.” 

“Oh.” Rani said, shrugging. “Fine by me.” She approached the bed and noticed Mindy’s face, which had been in a pout ever since Arthur explained the sleeping arrangements. “What’s wrong?” 

“Nothing.” Mindy said. “I was just… I was hoping to cuddle up with Master.” 

Rani looked at Arthur and shrugged. “I don’t mind trading places. You’re actually more cuddly than Master. Mister Muscles is all hard and uncomfortable. You’re squishy.” 

“Squishy?” Mindy said, crossing her arms over her stomach. 

“Squishy!” Rani said, making a groping motion with her hands that made Mindy burst into giggles. 

“Why don’t we try a more… unconventional approach to sharing the bed?” Kelly asked. “If we each take a limb, Selene can sleep between his legs…” 

“Oh, yeah, you can really spread out and starfish then. This bed is huge; there’s enough room for us to sleep at an angle.” 

Arthur shrugged. “Let’s give it a try!” He jumped onto the bed, landing on his back and rolling toward the center. 

The girls laughed and climbed after him. Fresh from the shower, exhausted from homecoming and the night, it wasn’t long until Arthur slipped into unconscious sleep. Mindy cuddled his left arm, hugging it between her breasts, her head on his shoulder. Rani cuddled his left leg, using his stomach as a pillow. Kelly had his right arm. Katelyn faced Kelly, lying on her good shoulder and resting her back against Arthur’s leg with her head on his hip. Kat curled up between his spread legs, and Selene slept across the foot of the bed, as close to Arthur and the others as she could manage. 

The bed was comfortable and firm but with a soft layer between the firm mattress and their bodies. Arthur’s muscular form was hard but relaxed, and their little movements and noises weren’t enough to wake them with how utterly drained they were from the day. 

They slept until the night ended and the morning sun rose.
