WIP: Harem House Chapter 26 Part 2

The admin building was closed on the weekends, but Arthur’s keycard opened the door without issue. He held the doors for the girls as they shuffled in and headed toward the bathroom in the lobby. Glass walls surrounded the cavernous space and tinted the sunlight to a more bearable shade. Otherwise, the vaulted space showed the balconies of the second, third, and fourth floors looming over the open lobby. 

Arthur waited by the empty receptionist's desk while the girls entered the bathroom. Kelly touched the door handle and accidentally bumped into Kat as the bathroom door swung open. 

Krissy, Beth’s sister, stumbled out of the bathroom. Beth, who looked sober and consequently unhappy, followed her. They both looked confused until they spotted Arthur, who gave them a small wave. 

“Heeeey!” Krissy called Arthur. 

Beth took her by the hand and pulled her toward the exit. 

“Do you need any help?” Arthur asked Beth. 

“No. We’re fine.” Beth said. “Young man.” 

Right. Beth didn’t want her family to know Arthur worked for her, so he had to pretend not to know her. He nodded. “Okay. I just thought I’d ask.” He turned toward Krissy. “You’re a little drunk.” 

“You’re not a widdle any-zing.” Krissy slurred as Beth yanked her toward the door.

“She drank too much and needed the bathroom.” Beth said, explaining. “I figured it’d be better here if she got sick, and she’d be easier to wrangle.” 

“Makes sense.” Arthur agreed. “Smart.” 

Beth didn’t appear amused at his compliment or Krissy’s antics as she swung toward Arthur and tried to claw at his shirt. 

“You should come wiff us.” Krissy told him. “We can hire you! We’re going to a party!” 

“No, we were going to a party.” Beth said. “Now we’re going home so you can sleep this off.” 

“Strip for us!” Krissy ignored her sister. “Strip for zee party tonight and me. Later.” She tried to wink but blinked instead. 

Arthur did his best not to laugh. “Sorry. I’m already booked tonight for a private party.” 

“I’ll give you a private party.” Krissy mumbled as Beth pulled her away. She giggled. “Private.” 

Beth corralled her sister away, and Arthur shook his head. Poor Krissy was in for a headache in the morning, but between her bachelorette party and tailgating, Arthur assumed she must be a lightweight. He felt sympathy for Beth, forced to handle her alone, but he’d offered to help. 

Beth and Krissy left the way Arthur and the girls entered. The glass doors allowed Arthur to watch as they let someone else into the building. Krissy mumbled her desire to attend a private party with him. 

Lynn froze as she spotted Arthur glaring at her. She smiled and stepped through the inner doors to the lobby. Arthur couldn’t help but compare her to a lioness. She walked forward as if trying to show off her bare legs, tanned by the sun, abandoned by the denim cut-offs that were briefs more than shorts. She adjusted her narrow tank top straps as she walked, drawing anyone else’s attention to her luscious breasts. Arthur didn’t fall for the bait. 

Lynn stopped three paces from Arthur and looked around. “Where are your friends?” Lynn asked. 

“My girlfriends.” Arthur corrected her. 

She chuckled. “Sure. I’m not sure why you’re so committed to that Spartacus bit, but go off, I guess. If you’re trying to make me jealous, you don’t have to.” 

Arthur’s eyes narrowed, but her comment made him scoff. “Why would I want that?” 

He stepped back as Lynn stepped forward. 

“To rub my nose in it.” Lynn said without skipping a beat. “I missed my chance with you because I was mean to you in high school. Whatever.” She shrugged. “Some guys like a girl who’s mean.” 

“You have severely misjudged the situation.” Arthur said, his voice dry and edging toward anger. 

Lynn grinned a Cheshire grin. “You mean I still have a chance?” 

Arthur’s eyes narrowed. “What? Are you drunk? No. I mean, I’m not trying to make you jealous. I don’t care about you. I want you to leave me alone.” 

Lynn stepped forward again, and Arthur stepped back. 

“I don’t believe you.” She said. “You care about me. You’ve known me too long to not care anymore.” 

Arthur stepped back. 

“You act like you’re scared of me.” Lynn pouted. “I won’t bite.” She assured him and snapped her teeth playfully. “Not unless you want me to.” 

“Ha ha.” Arthur replied dryly. “Seriously, get the fuck away from me. Go meet your parents or whoever.”

Lynn ignored him. “We have to be civil to one another, Arthur. Please? Can we talk for a minute? We don’t have to work through everything now, but if you’ll just talk to me, I’m sure we can start fresh.” 

Arthur glared at her. “I don’t want to start fresh.” Arthur stopped retreating. “You made my high school life hell. You and your friends teased me, pranked me, and did everything else you could to entertain yourselves at my expense. You made that entire school think I was this stalker pervert when all I ever did was try to be your friend. Like I had since we were, what, three?” He repeated her words for their effect. 

“You wanted to be more than friends.” Lynn said. “Once.” 

“Maybe.” Arthur said. “So did you. Once. Before I saw who you are. I was your friend for our entire lives up to that point. Then, I was nothing but a source of homework answers and amusement for you to vent your cruelty. I don’t care if you’re suddenly Mother Theresa, which I don’t think you are. I want nothing to do with you.”

“Arthur…” Lynn looked like he’d slapped her across the face. “Those girls in high school were bitches.” She said. “I was a bitch.” She corrected herself. “I’m sorry. I will be sorry for that for the rest of my life. Every time I look back on high school, I cringe at how cruel we were, especially to you. You never deserved that. You always meant so much to me. I swear, if you give me a chance, you’ll know I’m not that girl anymore. We have so much history together; we’ll be living together… why wouldn’t you want a fresh start, too?” 

Arthur glared. She reached for his arm, and he backpedaled. They’d worn a circle around the lobby, but Lynn didn’t stop this time. She tried to catch his hand, but Arthur was not playing her game. He moved behind the reception desk, then vaulted over the desk, leaving the barrier between them. 

Lynn laughed like they were playing a game of tag. 

Arthur wasn’t laughing. If he didn’t know better, he’d think Lynn was insane, but there had to be logic behind her madness, a reason she was doing this. Was she getting her kicks out of making him miserable? Or was she playing a game he couldn’t see? 

The bathroom door opened. Lynn’s eyes flashed toward the door as Arthur’s did. His eyes lingered, hopeful for help. 

Lynn launched herself over the reception desk the same way Arthur had, smashing into him and driving him to the floor in surprise. She landed on him, her legs straddling his lap, her F-cup breasts smashing into Arthur’s chest. Lynn giggled in a girlish sound Arthur hadn’t heard in years. 

Kelly stepped out of the bathroom. Kat and Selene were behind her, chuckling about something, until they walked into Kelly. She’d stopped. 

“Get off of me!” Arthur yelled and twisted beneath Lynn. Lynn giggled, grabbed Arthur’s wrists, and looked up as though she’d just noticed the other girls. 

“Why are you—?” Lynn asked as if surprised, then looked at Kelly. “Oh… We were just catching up.” Lynn assured Kelly. “Nothing happened, really.” 

“Do you need help?” Kelly asked. 

“No, we’re—” Lynn started. 

“I wasn’t asking you, cunt.” Kelly snapped. 

The shock of Kelly saying that word stopped Selene from launching forward. She shocked Selene and Kat into silence. Her tone was one they’d never heard from her, either. Each word was a jab, and the name was a knock-out punch. 

Kelly continued. “Arthur. You’re too much of a gentleman to physically hurt her, but can I? I will gladly beat the shit out of her.” Kelly took off her right earring, then her left. She handed both to Kat. 

Lynn’s eyes flared as she re-appraised Kelly. Kelly’s build was feminine but fit and muscular. Her hourglass shape had a large bust, tiny waist, and wide hips. Her arms and legs were rigid, sculpted muscle beneath soft skin. Her slinky gray dress showed off her build, arms, and shoulders. She was a boxer, and as she ditched her heels and assumed a fighting stance, that became undeniably apparent. Her fists clenched so tight the lines of her forearms flexed. 

“Beat the shit out of her!” Selene said, encouraging Kelly. 

Kat held Kelly’s earrings in her hand, looking confused. Then her eyes snapped wide as Kelly cleared the distance between them to Arthur and Lynn in three bounding, fast-as-lightning steps. 

Kelly startled Lynn, who struggled to rise in time and fell off Arthur as he rolled and shoved her aside, away from Kelly. Lynn rolled away, and Arthur rolled back. 

“Stop!” Arthur said as he held a hand up to halt Kelly. She stopped. 

“Thank you.” He said. Arthur reached, and she took his hand, helping him regain his feet. He stood and kissed Kelly. 

Kelly kissed him back, but she didn’t close her eyes in bliss at the taste of his lips as usual. She glared open-eyed at Lynn. 

Lynn watched her mouth in a tight frown. 

“The rest of you go ahead. I’ll meet you at the car.” Kelly waved them on. “I need to speak with Lynn.” 

Arthur looked uncertain. 

“Please?” Kelly asked Arthur, asking in such a pleading tone that Arthur couldn’t refuse. 

Arthur swallowed. Leaving anyone alone with Lynn was a dreadful idea, but whatever Kelly wanted to say to her was obviously private. Maybe they needed to be alone for whatever impact Kelly wanted her words to have? 

“Don’t beat her up.” Arthur said. 

“No promises.” Kelly said with a faint smile. She kissed Arthur and patted his arm. “Go on, Mister. This will just take a moment.” 

Arthur considered objecting, but his eyes met Kelly’s, and he folded. “Okay. Girls?” 

Kat and Selene moved to his side. 

The three of them left. They stopped at the curb outside the front doors and waited for Kelly. They watched through the glass, ready to re-enter the building if Kelly started throwing punches, not for Kelly’s sake, but for Lynn’s. Jokes aside, none of them wanted to hide a body. They had never seen Kelly so intense and furious.  

~~~

Kelly kept her faint smile until she turned to look at Lynn. Anger boiled her veins, but she breathed through her wrath until her blood cooled. 

“I want to be crystal-fucking-clear.” Kelly said, her voice soft but serious. “No misunderstandings. No bullshit.” Her smile reappeared and grew until her face was pure customer service. Her smile was a fortress. Kelly stood on the parapet as Lynn stood at the closed gates of the impenetrable wall that was Kelly. 

Lynn waited for her to continue. She fixed her clothes and brushed herself off. Her blue tank top and denim briefs didn’t leave her much to adjust. Still, she did what she could to show she wasn’t giving Kelly any deference. 

“Arthur made it clear in the stadium he wants nothing to do with you.” Kelly said. 

“He always says that, but–” 

Kelly cut Lynn off with a snap of her fingers that echoed through the cavernous lobby. “No buts. So now I’m going to make it unmistakably plain to you. As straightforward as possible. I already told you I know the shit you pulled in high school.” 

Lynn frowned.

Kelly continued to smile her polite customer service smile. “I know, everything. Even what Arthur won’t tell me, and I love that man. I will protect him.” She looked past Lynn to Arthur, who was waiting for her by the curb. 

Lynn followed her gaze, looking behind herself, before returning her attention to Kelly, who had taken a step closer. Her nose was inches from Lynn’s. Lynn’s flowery perfume was faint but detectable. Kelly’s aroma was smoke and pine. Arthur’s soap. Kelly saw the gleam of recognition in Lynn’s angry eyes. 

Kelly explained. “Arthur is a gentleman. He won’t punch you in the face like you deserve because you’re a woman.” She put a hand on her own chest, over her heart. “I’m a woman like you. I have no problem punching that smug face of yours.” She brought her hand between their faces and closed her fingers into a fist. “I’m also a trained and experienced boxer. I will, in no uncertain terms, beat the shit out of you if you ever come near him again.” 

Lynn smirked. “We’re going to live together.” She explained as if Kelly were dumb. “How am I supposed to not go near him?” She shifted her stance, resting her hand on her hip. 

“You stay in the basement where you belong.” Kelly said as if Lynn were dumb. She mocked Lynn’s stance by mirroring it. “If you have any maintenance needs, you email him, and you get the fuck out while he works. I don’t care where you go. You get out. You do not approach him. You do not touch him again, or I will break your fucking bones.” 

Kelly’s clenched fists showed her restrained wrath. Losing her temper would have meant beating Lynn into a pulp. Punching her was an alluring temptation, but Kelly knew she couldn’t succumb. Not unless Lynn earned the effort. 

Lynn scoffed. “We’re adults. You can’t just beat people up. That’s assault. You could get arrested just for threatening me.” 

Kelly’s jaw twitched. She moved as if she were going to strike, planting her foot, closing her fist, and rotating her entire body forward from her feet through her hip to her shoulders. The punch would have been a devastating knockout, but Kelly stopped long before her fist reached Lynn’s frightened face. 

Lynn flinched away, throwing her hands up to block her face and cowering. 

Kelly scoffed, holding the position mid-strike, then straightening. It happened so fast that Arthur hadn’t even taken a step before it became apparent Kelly was using a fake-out on Lynn.

“Do you want anyone to call you pretty ever again?” Kelly asked. “You want to walk without pain or breathe without wondering if it will be your last? Then you leave my man alone. Understood?” 

“Okay, okay.” Lynn adjusted her clothes again. “Christ.” 

“Glad we had this little chat.” Kelly’s smile fell, and she walked over to her heels before she stepped into them and left to join the others. The anger in her remained, stiffening her movements as she buckled her heels.

Lynn remained where she was, waiting. She remained in that cowed position until Kelly started walking, then gradually straightened. 

Kelly hesitated as she left, stopping at Lynn and leaning over her. Their positions blocked the view of their faces. From the outside, it looked like she was whispering something to Lynn. In reality, she spit on Lynn’s face. 

“Remember: you’re a disgusting cunt and a terrible excuse for a human being. You will not hurt Arthur again. No one hurts my boyfriend or my friends, and if I believe you so much as tried, I will hurt you.” Kelly’s voice was sharp with disgust. 

Lynn flinched in surprise at the spit on her cheek and froze until Kelly left. Her face heated, and her nostrils flared, but she said nothing. She listened, then made a disgusted grimace and wiped her face after Kelly left the room. 

Kelly locked eyes with Arthur as she left Lynn behind, and her temper evaporated. Her boiling wrath cooled to warm affection as she met Arthur's searching bright eyes. By the time Kelly reached him, she had her smile back. 

“What was that about?” Arthur asked. 

“Just girl talk.” Kelly said to assure him and patted his arm. “Now, let’s grab your things so we can get to that hotel. Momma wants her orgy.” Her voice was cheerful once again. She, Selene, and Kat shared a giggle.

Arthur looked skeptical but nodded. “Girl talk” was ambiguous enough to cover a wide range of topics, but he understood that in this context, it didn’t mean shoes. Whatever they’d discussed, the blanket of “girl talk” was his warning not to ask. There was still worry in his voice, and his movements were stiff. The fake-out punch clearly bothered him, but he didn’t ask again. 

Selene abandoned his arm, letting Kelly take it as they descended the hill toward the parking lot. Kelly beamed at Arthur, hugged his arm tight, then rested her head on his shoulder. Kat, on his other arm, held his hand while they walked. Selene walked behind them. She was the only one who gave Lynn a parting glance and noticed Lynn wiping her hand on her shorts. 

~~~

Lynn watched them go from behind the glass. She wiped her saliva-slick palm on her cut-offs and did her best to ignore the flare of heat in her core. She struggled to decide if she was angry, disgusted, or something else. The mental image of Kelly looming over her, calling her a cunt, and spitting on her wouldn’t leave her mind. Her breathing calmed, and she realized she was clenching her teeth. She relaxed her jaw and exhaled. 

She turned and watched Arthur, Kat, Selene, and Kelly until they were out of sight. Then, she washed her hands in the bathroom. Once dry, she pulled her phone out from her bra. 

The screen was still unlocked, and she frowned when she saw how short the recording was. “FUCK!” 

The recording had cut off early. She must have hit the button by accident when she tackled Arthur. Lynn listened and skipped to the end. That was the cut-off she heard. 

She replayed their conversation in her head. What she had wasn’t usable. Kelly’s threats, which she withstood in full knowledge they would damn that boxing bitch, weren’t on the recording. 

She sighed, cursed, and stared at her reflection for another minute before leaving. She was gorgeous, but her beauty alone wouldn’t wrap Arthur around her finger—not anymore. 

This was his school, after all. He knew the ins and outs of this world, and he’d always been so helpful in high school. Arthur was bright, and she needed him to write her papers and do her work for her or risk flunking out. So far, none of her approaches had worked. Reminding him of how much he wanted her was a non-starter. She might need to blackmail or ensnare him. Her attempt to drive a wedge between him and Kelly hadn’t worked. 

Kelly appeared too confident for hearsay to cause her any doubts. The circumstantial encounter she engineered had only pissed Kelly off at Lynn, not Arthur. She’d need photos, or video, of him cheating. Then, she could leverage that to get Arthur to do whatever she wanted. 

After what happened at her last school, she couldn’t count on any of her professors falling for her tricks. 

She turned aside from the direction she saw them go and climbed the hill instead. Lynn contemplated a way to handle Kelly. Arthur having a hot girlfriend wasn’t a factor she’d considered before earlier today. That hot girlfriend being his personal bodyguard, was even more challenging. 

Whatever happened had to appear to be Arthur’s fault. Let Kelly beat him up for cheating on her with Lynn or Blondie. It didn’t matter so long as he survived long enough to help Lynn graduate. Then Lynn would allow Kelly to take him back if she still wanted him.

Lynn walked and considered her plans when she spotted Mindy and Rani coming out of the dorm with two large suitcases behind them. Rani carried an additional duffle and a camera bag. 

Lynn raised an eyebrow in query and smiled to herself. She recognized them from earlier, two of Kelly’s friends who’d tried to help Arthur with that ridiculous make-Lynn-jealous routine. As if it were possible for someone as pathetic as Arthur to date multiple girlfriends, or for someone as hot as Kelly to share her man.

Lynn realized Rani and Mindy must be attending that private party Krissy was mumbling about when they’d let her into the admin building. The same party Arthur mentioned when he left the stadium. 

Kelly would be there, too, no doubt. Lynn showing up might piss off Arthur's girlfriend, but she couldn’t be mad if Lynn just happened to be at the same party. If she was, it was a second chance to get the insurance material. Worst-case scenario, Lynn got to use her Tazer, Kelly got arrested, and Arthur comforted his childhood crush after he realized how crazy his ex-girlfriend was. 

And it was a party. If she got Arthur alone and drunk, she’d collect plenty of usable material to solve her problems and maybe even get lucky. Arthur was hot now, and Lynn had needs. If she was going to restore the natural balance, she might as well let him fulfill her needs if he had any talent in that arena. If not, blondie could claim him since she didn’t mind sleeping with a hand-me-down dildo of a man. 

The party might be exclusive. Private parties often were, and likely, invitation only. But Lynn was hot enough to get into any party she’d gone to, whether or not anyone invited her. Any bouncer welcomed her if she gave him enough to leer at or suggested the promise of a handy.

She fell into the crowd, walking behind Mindy and Rani a few paces. Lynn remained out of their sight while listening to their conversation.

“Where is this hotel?” Rani asked Mindy. 

“I’ll check on the GPS.” Mindy said. “But I think it’s roughly an hour away?” 

“What was it called again?” Rani asked. 

“The Ashwood Hotel.” Mindy answered. “I looked it up when he booked it. It looked fancy, but it’s toward the mountains. West of here. So probably slow business this time of year.” 

Rani sounded surprised. “A ski resort? Does he ski?” 

“I don’t think so.” Mindy shook her head. “He’s never mentioned it. I don’t think the slopes are open, and it’s at the base of the mountains, so it’s not a ski resort. It looked like a mountain getaway hotel.” 

“So long as it isn’t camping.” Rani said.

“I wouldn’t mind going camping with the others.” Mindy shrugged. “It might be fun!” 

Rani scoffed. “Have you ever been camping?”

“No.” Mindy shrugged. 

“Neither have I.” Rani agreed. “And I’m just fine with that. I need my running water and my electricity. Camping is white boy nonsense.” 

Mindy giggled, and the two laughed as they reached the parking lot. 

Lynn was familiar with the Ashwood Hotel. It wasn’t too far away westward, over the river and through the woods. 

A hotel party would be fun. Sure, Lynn didn’t possess an invitation. Nor did she know who was hosting to receive one, but she was a hot girl, and she’d stop for beer on the way. No one said no to a slutty hot chick with beer, and definitely not to Lynn. 

Lynn smiled a wicked smile and headed for her car. 

~~~

Kelly drove to Arthur’s apartment with Selene, Arthur, and Kat in the backseat. She didn’t begrudge them. She would have joined them, but somebody needed to drive, and it was her car. Selene was on his left, Arthur in the middle, and Kat on his right. Selene and Kat were stroking Arthur through his jeans. He, in return, was rubbing Selene and Kat, their skirts lifted to their hips, letting his fingers play and tease them as Kelly drove. They’d spread their legs, giving Kelly a view of what Arthur was doing when she looked in the rearview mirror. 

“Mmm.” Kat moaned, her hand on Arthur’s hand as his strong fingers moved between her thighs. “Please, Sir.” 

“Please, what?” Arthur asked, not stopping. 

“Please, may I cum?” Kat asked. 

Arthur scoffed. “Already? We’ve only been going a few minutes.” 

“I don’t know how you do it.” Kat gasped. “But…” She twitched as the tip of his middle finger slid into her, and the base of it ground against her clit. She convulsed, squeezing his hand with her thighs. “Fuck!”

Arthur pulled his finger out of her and offered his hand to Kat. She made a face and turned away. “Go on.” Arthur said. “Suck my fingers. Clean them up. Taste yourself.” 

Kat grimaced and shook her head, turning her face away. 

He mirrored the offer to Selene, withdrawing his left hand from Selene and offering it to her. Selene took his finger into her mouth without hesitation and bobbed her head, circling his finger with her tongue until every drop was gone. He returned his hand between her legs.

Arthur fingered Kat again, re-coating his finger. He offered her the finger again, and Kat grimaced. 

“At least lick it.” Arthur said. Then, after Kat didn’t respond. “Oh, Brat?” 

Kat looked at him. “Yes, Master?” 

“That’s an order.” Arthur informed her. 

“And if I don’t obey?” Kat smirked. 

“Then I will rip that dress off you and make you run into your apartment naked to grab your things.” Arthur answered. Selene’s grip on him over his jeans tightened, and her bucking grew more desperate. 

Kelly caught Arthur’s gaze in the mirror, and she grinned. 

“Fine.” Kat rolled her eyes. “What do I get if I obey?” 

“Good girls get orgasms.” Arthur responded. He pushed his finger toward her lips, and she quickly licked the tip before grimacing. Arthur smiled and returned his hand to between her legs. 

Kat groaned. She squirmed, but he didn’t stop, and she couldn’t tell him to stop for fear that he might listen. 

Arthur’s finger teased Kat’s clit, and she closed her eyes, shifting her hips forward so she could recline. Kat bucked as Arthur spread her lower lips apart with his index and ring finger, pinning her labia open. Arthur slid his middle finger into her. 

Kat whimpered as Arthur started circling his upper palm against her.

Kat felt the moan coming, so she covered her mouth and turned toward Arthur. Glaring at him for his dirty trick of curling his thumb against her clit, trapping it beneath his palm. She was soaked, and Arthur was thankful for the dress beneath her, or he’d worry they might ruin Kelly’s back seat. She inhaled, adjusting to the powerful sensations. Kat let out a long, loud moan. 

“Good girl.” Arthur said. “Look at you, getting over your jealousies today and learning to obey.” 

“Well, it’s…” Kat moaned again. “Easy to feel secure when you’ve got your hand up my skirt.” She gripped the seat and seatbelt, tensing against them as Arthur swirled his finger inside her and pressed against her walls. “Fuck!” 

Arthur smiled. He dove deeper into her, then withdrew his hand entirely, letting Selene clean it off once more. 

Kat bucked her hips, searching for his hand as she opened her eyes. 

“Beg me for it, or your pleasure ends here.” Arthur warned her. 

Kat’s eyes widened at the threat, and she caved. “Please, sir? Please make me cum? Please?” 

“Good girl.” Arthur palmed her folds and let his hand rest there. “Tell me your mantra.” 

“I am your submissive, and you are my sir.” Kat said, her voice desperate. 

Arthur started rubbing her again. 

Kat kept reciting her mantra as he rubbed and fingered her until she gave a sharp cry, thrust against his hand, and came. She threw her arms around his arm and clutched him as she shook with it. She scrunched her eyes closed and panted from the exertion. 

“Who are you?” Arthur asked. 

“I am your submissive.” Kat said. Her voice was weak from exhaustion.

“And who am I?” Arthur asked. 

“You are my Sir.” Kat opened her eyes and brought her hand to his face, cupping his cheek. 

Arthur kissed Kat, and they kissed until Kat needed to catch her breath. Then Arthur turned toward Selene. He made out with her until Selene needed to breathe. They alternated, Arthur still finger-fucking Selene, keeping her stimulated without letting her cum. In return, the sisters stroked his steel-hard cock through his pants until Kelly pulled into the apartment complex. 

“What am I wearing tomorrow, Master?” Selene asked as Kelly parked the car. 

“The nicest outfit you have.” Arthur told her. 

“And tonight?” Selene asked. 

“Your sluttiest bikini and any lingerie you have should be enough for tonight.” Arthur decided. “You won’t need many clothes.” 

“Yes, Sir.” Selene kissed him again, then slid out of the car. 

Kat did the same, kissing him for a few seconds longer before she exited from the SUV. She and Selene raced to their apartment. 

“We’re just grabbing our things from your place, right?” Kelly asked. “Or should I handle that for you?” She glanced at his cock. 

“Oh, don’t worry.” Arthur said. “You’ll get your chance to help with this. But first, yeah, we need to grab our things. Might take a few trips.” 

Arthur had to wait for the blood flow to redirect, but they walked upstairs once he could stand without indecency charges. Once they were in the apartment, Arthur reviewed his checklist for the night. Then he broached his thoughts with Kelly while she double-checked her luggage. 

“Kelly, are you sure you’re okay with Katelyn coming to the hotel?” Arthur asked. 

“Yes, Sir.” Kelly said. “I’m okay if she joins us tonight. She’s practically family, and you’re my… you’re my man. If I was going to share you without the harem, it would have been with Katelyn. She’s like…” Kelly had obvious difficulty describing what Katelyn meant to her. “She’s important to me. You’re important to me. I want her to be happy, safe, and cared for, and you’ll do that.”

Arthur processed that in silence. 

“Do you want her to join us tonight?” Kelly asked. 

“Honestly?” Arthur asked the rhetorical question. He couldn’t imagine being dishonest with Kelly. “I don’t know. It seems fast, but also inevitable?” 

Kelly nodded. “I know what you mean. When you think about how long we’ve been together, it’s a whirlwind, but it’s addictive, isn’t it? The sex, kinks, the exploration, the freedom? If Katelyn comes tonight, it’s just one more new frontier to explore together, and if we don’t enjoy it, she doesn’t have to join us long-term. She can be our housemate and friend, not your lover.” 

Arthur considered it. She was correct, after all. If Katelyn came tonight, it would be an experiment, a new frontier. Arthur realized that was the source of his fears. The harem was new, but he’d been the experienced boyfriend leading the way so far. With Katelyn? He was out of his depth—more than he was with the others. 

“What if I fuck it up?” Arthur asked. 

“Oh, Mister.” Kelly kissed him. “I’ll be there to help you. We all will.” 

“And if it goes well? If we like her and she likes us, are you okay if she wants to join the harem?” Arthur asked. 

Kelly smiled from her kneeling position in front of her open suitcase. “I think Katelyn could benefit from the support. She needs a man, and you’re the best one I know. You’ll take care of her, or we will.” 

“We will.” Arthur said. He was unfamiliar with Katelyn’s needs, and the responsibility of another person depending on him added even more to his plate. Still, it was hard to say no.  

“Honestly, Katelyn needs you and the harem. Adding her will only help her. The girls will give her the sisterhood she needs. You could be the man she needs if you want to be that man.” Kelly glanced meaningfully at Arthur. 

“And you don’t think it’s weird?” Arthur asked. 

“Mister, all of this is weird.” Kelly rocked back to her feet and stood, crossing the distance to him and giving him a hug. “Sharing my man with a slut, brat, concubine, and secretary-whore-whatever is not what I always imagined, but it’s worked well so far. It’s helped us. Look at how much it’s helped Kat in the last few days, how much we’ve helped her grow. That wouldn’t have happened without you and the harem.” 

“I guess so.” Arthur said. 

Kelly squeezed him, and Arthur squeezed her in return. She brushed rogue hairs from his forehead and kissed his cheek. “You’ve helped each of us live out our fantasies. Selene has come out of her shell. I’ve gotten to grow close to these amazing women. Mindy has us to mentor her through her college life. We’ve helped Rani make friends and not be so lonely. We helped you stop moping over Lori, and we helped you with Lynn.” Kelly said. 

“Okay.” Arthur said, raising his hands. “I wasn’t moping over Lori. And what did you and Lynn discuss, anyway?” 

Kelly smirked. “Don’t worry–” 

“I worry.” Arthur said. “Tell me what you said to Lynn.” This was an order, not a request. 

Kelly swallowed. She kissed him, then pulled away. “It was essentially a version of the ‘stay away from my man’ talk. I was just letting her know that while you wouldn’t punch her in the face because she’s a girl, I absolutely would if she pulled anything like tackling you again.” 

Arthur sighed. “Whatever you do, don’t hit Lynn.” He warned her. 

“It won’t come to that.” Kelly assured him. “She’s a bully. Bully’s back down when you make them.” 

“Seriously. Kelly.” He held her arms and forced her to face him. His face was grave, and his tone as heavy as lead. “She does not play games. She fights wars. Lynn will ruin your life if you let her. Do not, under any circumstances, hurt her. Not for her sake, but for yours, and mine, and the harem. For us.” 

Kelly looked surprised at first. Arthur could tell she wanted to protest. It took her a minute, but she swallowed her pride and nodded. “Yes, Sir.” 

Arthur hugged her. “Thank you.”

Kelly hugged him, holding him close and resting her head on his shoulder. “You know you can talk to me, right? Especially about what happened between you and Lynn. Any time you need to talk, I’m here for you.” 

Arthur squeezed her tight in his arms, and Kelly held on until he let go. She started to speak more than once but stopped herself. 

“I know.” Arthur said. “But not tonight. Tonight is for you, me, and the girls. No more Lynn talk.” 

“Okay, Mister.” Kelly kissed him again, and they broke away to resume packing. Arthur sensed she wanted to press the issue, but he was glad she didn’t. He wouldn’t spank her for curiosity or for wanting to argue over fighting Lynn. Luckily, she was willing to submit to him. Maybe being the leader had advantages, but his punishment would be the least of her worries if she struck Lynn. Lynn was more likely to get the police involved than run crying to Arthur or her parents. 

Loading Arthur’s car and Kelly’s SUV took two trips. They loaded their luggage, Kelly’s garment bag, Arthur’s briefcase and trunk, and a duffel bag full of goodies. Arthur’s belongings filled his car, including the backseat, since the traveler’s trunk didn’t fit in the car’s trunk with the rest. Kelly’s items piled into her SUV. To that, Selene added a small suitcase. Kat added one almost as tall as she was. 

“What?” Kat asked at Arthur’s questioning expression. “I packed light!” 

Arthur grabbed her suitcase to load it into Kelly’s trunk and grunted. “You did not pack light. We’re going away for one night!” His disbelief was barely detectable through the laughter in his voice. 

“I know, but we’re having brunch with your mom tomorrow and I had to make some decisions. Not to mention the toiletries and the things necessary for my hair and skin care, and–” She saw Arthur’s smile and shook her head at him. 

“Are you going to the hotel, or are we going to my place?” Kelly asked. 

Arthur considered his plans. “Do you need me for the Katelyn talk?” He asked Kat. “I can be there for you.” 

Kat considered the offer. “No.” She decided. “Kelly, yes, though.” She looked at Kelly. “If that’s okay.” 

“Of course.” Kelly stepped forward and hugged Kat. “Of course I’ll be there for you.” 

“And you want Katelyn to come?” Kat asked Arthur. 

Arthur nodded. “I’m also okay if she doesn’t.” He assured Kat. “I don’t want it to be awkward or to ruin tonight. So, feel it out. If you three are excited and on board, then excellent. If not, we’ll have fun with the six of us.” 

Kat nodded. She squeezed Kelly, still hugging her, and the two separated. 

“Okay.” Kat said. “We’ll meet you there.” 

Selene and Kat hugged farewell, and Selene joined Arthur as he walked to his car. Kat climbed into Kelly’s passenger seat, and the two shared a nod as Kelly started the SUV. They watched Arthur and Selene leave in his car first, then drove to Kelly’s.
