WIP: Harem House Chapter 23 Part 2

Fortunately, they didn’t have to wait long after that until Kelly’s SUV rolled up and found them. Arthur was in the passenger seat, dressed much as they left him, in a fancy suit. Kelly wore a black dress instead of a red one, and the white fishnets beneath it suggested she’d worn something specifically for Arthur. Arthur approached the girls first; Kelly went straight to the backseat where Katelyn was lying down.

“Are you all okay?” Arthur asked, worry evident in his voice. He checked them all over even as Selene embraced him and hid her face in his chest.

“We’re fine.” Selene assured him. “Sorry for interrupting your date, Master.”

“It’s okay.” Arthur said as he stroked her back absent-mindedly. She moved from hugging him to stepping beside him. “Do you have a donut or a spare?” He asked Kat.

“We do not.” Kat said flatly. “We checked.”

Arthur nodded. Kat seemed pissed off at something, but the circumstances made it obvious she wasn’t pissed off at him, so he decided to charge through it.

“Okay.” Arthur pulled up his phone and took control of the situation. “There’s a twenty-four-seven Wal-Mart not too far from here.”

“Arthur?” Kelly called from the other side of the car.

“Yes?” He asked as he looked past Selene, Kat, and Rani to see Kelly looking into the backseat from the passenger side and stroking Katelyn’s brown hair soothingly.

“I need your help. Can you help me carry her into the backseat of my car?” Kelly asked.

“Of course.” Arthur moved to her side and looked into the car. The backseat was a mess, and it smelled like bile and the tangy mercury of regurgitated alcohol. Arthur winced as he saw her arm.

“Be careful.” Kelly said. “I’ll take the dislocated side; between us, we should be able to leverage her into my backseat.”

Arthur nodded. He and Kelly stood on either side of Katelyn. They carefully shuffled her out of Kat’s back seat and then carried her, their arms acting like a stretcher beneath her, to Kelly’s car. Selene hustled over and opened Kelly’s car door, and they slid in.

“I’m sorry Momma.” Katelyn murmured.

“Sh.” Kelly insisted. “It’s okay.”

“Watch your head.” Arthur instructed as he got ready to close the door. He wanted to make sure Katelyn was clear before he closed it.

“Thanks, Daddy.” Katelyn murmured as she turned from her back onto her good side.

Arthur closed the door without comment, and Kelly smirked slightly at Arthur. She kissed his cheek. “You okay to help the girls? I’ll take our daughter here to the hospital?”

Arthur smirked back and gave her a kiss on the lips. “Are you sure? I feel bad leaving you.”

“I’m sure.” Kelly said. “I’m sorry about tonight. Maybe if I get her back home and in bed and we’re still awake, I can come over, and we can finish our date night?”

Arthur nodded. That was a lot of ifs, so his hopes weren’t high, but it was nice to know she wanted it just like he did.

“I’ll go with Kelly.” Rani volunteered. “We were taking her to the Urgent Care instead of the hospital.”

“Good idea.” Kelly checked the time on her phone. “We need to hurry, then. Let’s go. You can tell me what happened on the way.”

Rani frowned but waved goodbye to Selene and Kat as she hopped into the passenger seat of Kelly’s SUV. Arthur and Kelly kissed farewell again, and Arthur headed back toward Kat and Selene. He pulled out his phone as he went over and then put it away. Kelly started her car and drove away, waving to them before she returned to the road.

Arthur looked them over again, just to make sure they were okay. Kat looked miserably angry. Selene looked worried.

“Everything okay?” Arthur asked.

“Rani’s a bitch.” Kat spat.

Arthur was taken by surprise. Clearly, he’d missed something. When the girls left, they seemed like the best of friends. Now, Kat looked like she would have torn Rani’s throat out with her teeth if given the opportunity. Something must have happened to cause the change, but Arthur wasn’t sure what it was other than the drama he knew about. Still, as Master of the harem, he felt it was his responsibility to settle this before it did any harm.

“Tell me what happened.” Arthur said. “I called an Uber to the Wal-Mart to get a spare tire. Then we’ll return here, fix your car, and be on our way.”

They caught him up on what happened. Selene told the story as she clutched Arthur’s arm, with Kat making interjections here and there before the Uber arrived. He took off his shirt while they told him, and he stuck his white undershirt in Kat's car's driver’s side window. Then he put his button-up shirt back on.

When the Uber arrived, the three of them crammed into the backseat, with Selene sitting in the middle, cuddling into him and closing her eyes.

“Is your…” He hesitated and then pulled up his phone again. Yes, the three vibes were still on and still cycling. The durations between vibrations were long but intense when they turned on. Soon, they would start to vibrate for longer periods with shorter rests but get less intense. “Let me turn that off for you.”

“No!” Selene gasped as she squeezed his arm, causing the Uber driver to glance in his rearview mirror. “It’s fine. We have a bet going.”

“And I want Rani to lose.” Kat crossed her arms and glared at Arthur.

“Okay…” Arthur said hesitantly. “If you’re sure.”

Selene kissed his shoulder. “We’re sure.”

Otherwise, it was a quiet ride to the Wal-Mart and a quick shopping trip in the auto center. Arthur found the tire in the catalog based on the make and model of Kat's car. Luckily, they had it in stock.

“I’ve got this.” Kat said, pulling her wallet out of her purse.

“Put that away.” Arthur pulled out his wallet.

“No, I-” Kat started but was cut off when Arthur hooked his finger through the ring of her collar and pulled her closer to him. His strength surprised her, and she stepped forward, pressing herself against him. With their height difference of more than a foot, she was forced to lift her chin toward the ceiling to glare at him. Her efforts were undercut by the heat in his eyes when their gazes met, and Kat’s lips parted slightly in a silent gasp.

“I am covering this.” Arthur told her as though it were an immutable fact. “And we will discuss your punishment for arguing with me when we get home.”

Standing behind them and watching the exchange, Selene whimpered and had to support herself with one arm on the shelf beside her.

“Are you okay?” Arthur turned his face away from Kat to look at Selene.

“I just came.” Selene admitted softly, the vibe between her legs still going, but the exchange between Arthur and Kat sent her over the top.

“Slut.” Kat spat.

Selene bit her lip and shook her head. “Stop it!” She whispered harshly. “Or I’ll cum again.”

Kat smirked evilly and stuck her tongue out at Selene, who returned the expression and did her best to stand up straight.

Arthur paid for the tire and pump at the self-checkout, and then it was a quiet but heated Uber ride back to her car. Kat sat in the middle for the return trip, hugging Arthur’s arm.

After the Uber dropped them off, Kat put her car in neutral. Arthur examined the position and realized it would be too difficult to push it back onto the road. Instead, he had Kat turn the wheel, and he pushed it parallel to the road until they came to a flatter section.

Then Kat turned the wheel slightly in the other direction. Arthur pushed the car onto the shoulder, jacked the car, and took off the wheel. Once the car was on the jack, it didn't take him long to swap out the tire.

The girls stood behind him and watched the show, holding onto each other when the intensity of the vibrators started to kick up a notch.

“You’ll have to take it to a shop to really get the nuts on there.” Arthur said. “But they’ll hold for now.”

Kat was calmer now and much more appreciative of Arthur than before. “Thanks.” She said and gave him a hug. It was a simple gesture, but it meant a lot coming from Kat. Selene joined the hug, and Arthur kissed the top of Kat’s and Selene’s heads before they let him go.

“Can I ride in your lap?” Selene asked Arthur. “The back seat is kind of gross.”

“Sure.” Arthur nodded. “Should we drive to the urgent care? Meet up with the others?”

Selene checked her phone and held it up. “Kelly said they’re still there, last I checked. So… sure. Unless you want to take us home, punish Kat like you promised, and maybe fuck our brains out?”

Arthur laughed and patted his insatiable slut on her head. Her suggestion was the hotter option, but he had more important concerns than getting off. “Are you calm enough to talk things out with Rani?” Arthur asked Kat. “Or do you need more time?”

Kat looked sulkily at Arthur but sighed. “Fine, I’ll apologize.” She huffed. “But I still think I’m right.”

“Right or wrong doesn’t really matter here.” Arthur said. “It happened. Now, we have to move forward and deal with the future.”

“Now we have to move forward and deal with the future.” Kat mocked him in a silly voice. “Did you get that from a fortune cookie?”

Arthur shook his head at Kat. “Keep mocking me.” He said sternly, letting her know the command was a threat.

She almost rose to it.

“You already have one punishment coming.” He reminded her. “But I'll gladly make it two.”

Kat turned away with a blush. “Sorry, Sir.”

Arthur smirked in victory. “To answer your question, it’s just something I picked up.” He shrugged. “Trust me, I know you’re angry. And yeah. Things might have gone differently if everyone involved was more willing to reign Katelyn in.” He said as he opened the passenger door. “But no one did. Including Rani, and including you.” He pointed out. “And to Rani’s point. Katelyn is an adult. She knew what she was doing and did it anyway. Lesson learned. Next time, if there is a next time, I don’t think any of us will let her drink that much. Right?”

“I’ll slap it out of her hand if I have to.” Selene piped up as she wrinkled her nose at the smell of the car’s interior. “Can we ride with the windows down?”

They did. It was chilly, given the speed they had to drive and the early October night, but it wasn’t freezing. With Selene sitting on Arthur’s lap in the passenger seat and the seatbelt over both of them, Selene intentionally and mischievously wiggled against him. Arthur returned her torture by wrapping his arms around her, putting his hands between her legs, and pressing gently against the vibrator he could feel beneath her jeans. Kat played some music while she drove, going very still for the brief interlude when her vibrator kicked on, and the few minutes to the clinic went by quickly. By the time they arrived, Rani was waiting for them outside.

“They gave her an I-V and some fluids because she was dehydrated, and they popped her arm back into place.” Rani announced. “In reverse order.” She said. “But they couldn’t give her anything for the pain because of the alcohol, so… she’s cranky.”

“How’s Kelly?” Selene asked as she, Arthur, and Kat approached.

“Mad at me.” Rani looked annoyed. “You were right, okay?” She snapped at Kat. “I should have cut her off. I’m sorry.”

Kat almost looked as if she were about to ask Rani to repeat herself, but when she looked up to see Arthur’s expression, she changed her mind. She took a deep breath and nodded. “I’m sorry, too.” She said. “I should have cut her off myself, and I shouldn’t have taken my frustrations of the night out on you.”

Selene smiled. “I think if anything, we should blame Master.” She suggested.

Arthur looked immediately confused. “What?” He asked. “What did I do?”

“You tortured us the entire time we were at that bar with these damn vibrators.” Selene pointed out. “All three of us were on edge the entire time. You’re lucky none of us killed each other on that car ride.”

Arthur laughed, which the look from Kat told him immediately was the wrong response, but he couldn’t help it.

“I’m sorry.” Arthur said after a minute, but the fact that he was still chuckling made them think he wasn’t really sorry.

“Oh, you will be.” Rani said. “Let’s see how you like it if we drag you around the corner and edge you for a few hours, never letting you finish.”

Arthur smirked. “Well, if it helps you feel any better, I didn’t get to finish either. My date tonight got interrupted.”

The girls’ expressions changed as realization dawned. It didn’t seem to help them feel any better. Selene was the first to break and look a little guilty. “Sorry, Master.”

“Call it even?” Rani suggested.

“We’ll call it even.” Arthur agreed.

Kat sighed. “We’ll take Katelyn home.” She said. “You and Kelly can go finish your date.”

“In the vomit-mobile?” Rani scrunched up her nose.

Kat rolled her eyes. “Fine. I’ll take Katelyn home.” She said. “You and Selene can get a lift back with Arthur and Kelly.”

“We’ll take an Uber.” Selene piped up. “Let Master and Mistress finish their date.”

Rani raised an eyebrow at Selene, who nodded, and the two of them shrugged simultaneously.

It was a short wait for Kelly and Katelyn to come out of the urgent care, but when they did, Katelyn seemed much more sober than going in. It was a welcome side effect from all the vomiting and the hydrating powers of intravenous fluids. She was walking under her own power without swaying or staggering, though her arm was in a sling.

Selene put her phone away when she saw them coming up after calling an Uber.

“I’m gonna take her home.” Kat announced to Kelly. “So you and Ma-Arthur can get back to your date.”

Kelly smirked. “I appreciate it but-”

“No, Kelly. It’s okay.” Katelyn interjected. “I’m fine. And Kat and I could use some catch-up time.”

“I have that guy’s number if you want it.” Rani volunteered her phone.

“Oh god no.” Katelyn shook her head. “I could never face that guy again. All that vomiting? I’m so embarrassed.”

“Hey, he still gave me his number to give you, so… clearly he likes you. Maybe he’s into vomit.” Rani shrugged. She was obviously making a joke, but the idea made everyone there cringe. Even those who had sworn against kink shaming.

“There’s a kink for everything nowadays.” Selene tried to make a joke out of Rani’s joke, which got the same response.

“Gross.” Katelyn made a face that matched Kelly’s, Kat’s, and Arthur’s.

“Come on. Let’s get you home.” Kat said to Katelyn and gestured toward her car.

“I’m sorry about the backseat.” Katelyn grimaced as she followed Kat away from the doors.

“You will be when you smell it.” Kat nodded and led the way through the crosswalk.

“I’ll pay to have it cleaned.” Katelyn assured her.

“Yeah, you will.” Kat agreed as they approached her car and walked out of earshot.

“Are you two riding with us?” Kelly asked.

Selene shook her head. “We’ll Uber.” She assured Kelly and Arthur. “We’ll let you two get back to your date.” She said meaningfully for Rani’s sake. “And we’ll see you in the morning.”

“Yeah…” Rani agreed. “We’ll see you in the morning.”

Kelly looked at Arthur to gauge his approval of their plan and nodded after he did. “Okay. If you’re sure?”

“We’re sure.” Selene said for both of them. “I already called the Uber. Thank you for riding to our rescue, Master.” Selene said as she went up onto her tip-toes and gave him a kiss. “And thank you for driving to our rescue, Mistress.” To everyone’s surprise, Selene did the same thing to Kelly, kissing her.

Kelly looked at Arthur, who shrugged. She kissed Selene back quickly until she pulled away.

“Same.” Rani said and kissed Arthur. “And ditto.” She kissed Kelly just like she did Arthur. “Mmm…” She smacked her lips together. “I like your chapstick.”

“Thanks.” Kelly laughed. “We’ll see you two in the morning.”

Selene and Rani waved goodbye, and Arthur and Kelly returned to her car. They waited until the Uber showed up for Selene and Rani before they left, which was only a few minutes. The drive back was quiet.

“You okay?” Arthur asked.

“Yeah.” Kelly exhaled. “I was worried about Katelyn. But she’s…” Kelly tried to find the words. “Well, emotionally, she’s a real mess right now. Worse than I thought.” She admitted. “I’m glad Kat is with her. She could use a good friend right now.”

“I think you’ve been a good friend to her.” Arthur pointed out.

“So have the other girls.” Kelly nodded. Then, she suddenly changed the subject to something clearly more prominent in her mind. “That kiss from Selene was weird, right?”

Arthur chuckled at the non-sequitur. “That might have been my fault.” He said. “I’ve been winding them up a bit.” He explained about the vibrators and how he set them up on a cycle until the girls turned them off after they almost hit the deer.

“Were you… playing with them while we were on our date?” Kelly asked.

“No.” Arthur answered honestly. “I set it up, and then it would have just kept going, winding down in intervals and back up again until the batteries ran out. I checked on it occasionally but didn’t have to activate it every time or anything.”

“Oh, okay.” Kelly nodded. “Good.”

“Good?” Arthur asked.

“I would have been a little upset with you if I found out the entire time I thought I had your full attention; you were actually splitting it between me and the others.” Kelly admitted. “I… tonight was supposed to be just us. Our time. My time.”

Arthur nodded. “That makes sense.” He understood. It was a little possessive but not exactly a red flag. To him, it sounded reasonable for all of them to expect his full attention when he was with only them. He’d have to be careful about being on his phone and making sure he gave them his full attention when he was with any of them. He decided not to try and push his luck but to give Kelly his full attention for the rest of the night.

~~~

“I really am sorry.” Katelyn said as Kat’s car pulled into her apartment building’s parking lot.

“I know.” Katerine reminded her. “You’ve apologized a lot. You’ve promised to pay for the mess back there-” She thumbed her fist over her shoulder to indicate the stinking back seat. “It’s okay. I’m not mad at you.”

“Kelly was pretty mad at me.” Katelyn frowned.

“Did she warn you against drinking too much?” Kat asked.

“I mean… a little.” Katelyn shrugged.

“And did you drink too much anyway?” Kat asked.

“...Yes.” Katelyn deflated.

“Sounds like you earned it then.” Kat scoffed. “Come on. Let’s get you upstairs.” She said as she pulled into an empty parking spot a few rows from the door.

“You want to come up?” Katelyn asked. “Maybe we can salvage the night?”

“What do you mean?” Kat raised an eyebrow.

“We can watch a movie or something, camp out on the sofa, and have a sleepover?” Katelyn asked. “Please?” She asked. “We haven’t done that in forever!”

Kat laughed. It had been a while since they’d hung out like that, but they weren’t in the dorms anymore, and she was living with her sister, Selene, instead of her friends. A poor decision, really. She loved her sister, but Selene wasn’t the best roommate. At least sharing an apartment was better than sharing a bedroom like they used to.

“Alright.” Kat said. “Why not. I don’t have anywhere to be tonight.”

“And it’s Saturday tomorrow!” Katelyn reminded her as they got out of the car. “We can sleep in!” The cold night air between the car and the lobby made them hustle until they were through the doors.

“Well, I’m meeting up with the harem for homecoming tomorrow. They want to do the festival stuff.” Kat shrugged. She was okay to stay the night but couldn’t sleep the morning away. She’d need to be up and out to return to her apartment, shower, change, and meet the others before the drive to campus after breakfast.

“Oh… well… can I come with you?” She asked. “I should probably apologize to the others again anyway.”

“Well…” Kat hesitated. She didn’t want to say no, but she didn’t want to say yes either.

“What? They don’t want to hang with me anymore?” Katelyn asked, surprised.

“It’s not that.” Kat shook her head and held the front door open for Katelyn as they headed into the building and started walking through the lobby to the elevator. “It’s supposed to be a group date.”

“Well, maybe I can call that Terry guy after all.” Katelyn shrugged.

“No, I mean… Our group.” Kat tried to explain. “The harem.”

Katelyn looked at her in shock for a moment. “Oh, right. Your sex cult.” She said as the elevator arrived.

Kat rolled her eyes and plodded into the elevator behind Katelyn. “The harem is not a sex cult.” Kat explained. “It’s what we call ourselves, the group of Arthur’s girlfriends because the Sisterhood of Excalibur is too much of a mouthful.” She couldn’t help but smile at how true that was. Excalibur was too much of a mouthful.

“The sisterhood of-” Katelyn deadpanned and looked at Kat. “Because his name is Arthur?”

Kat snorted. The two laughed until the elevator dinged and the doors opened again. The hallway to Katelyn’s apartment wasn’t a long walk.

“You really call yourselves the harem?” Katelyn scoffed. “Did Arthur come up with that?”

“I think Selene did, actually. It’s a whole thing in some of the animes she’s into. We’re kind of reappropriating it.” Kat shrugged as she waited for Katelyn to unlock her door.

“Uh huh…” Katelyn murmured, half to herself. She managed to open the door, and she and Kat pushed inside one after the other, with Katelyn turning the lights on as she went.

The apartment wasn’t overly large, but the U-shaped couch was comfy and pointed right at the television to make up the living room. Beyond it, the dining room table became the resting place for their purses, and Katelyn was already stripping out of her vomit-stained clothes as she headed to her bedroom. Kat followed behind her.

“You want to get comfy?” Katelyn asked. “I don’t have much in the way of PJs for you, but I have a robe? Or I’m sure Kelly wouldn’t mind lending you some PJ pants.”

Kat thought about her sizes compared to Kelly’s and while Kelly was larger than skinny willowy Katelyn, she was also buff and in perfect hourglass shape, unlike Kat’s more average-sized body. Kat was short and in decent shape, but she suspected her definition of ‘medium’ and Kelly’s definition differed significantly.

“A robe sounds fine.” Kat suggested. “Do you mind if I get out of these shorts, though? Most of my clothes smell like vomit from the car.”

“Give them to me.” Katelyn said. “I’ll throw them in the wash, and you can wear them home tomorrow.”

“Uh…” Katerine hesitated, pausing after she reached for the button on her shorts.

Katelyn lifted an eyebrow. “You don’t have to be shy. Kelly’s not here, and I’m not going to perv on you or anything.”

“No, I–” Kat raised an eyebrow. “Kelly’s seen me naked. I’m not nervous around Kelly.”

“When did that happen?” Katelyn asked, surprised. “Are you two locker room pals now?”

“Oh uh… Wednesday night.” Kat said hesitantly.

“When she stayed over at Arthur’s?” Katelyn raised an eyebrow.

“When we… all stayed over at Arthur’s.” Kat corrected and smiled slightly.

Katelyn shook her head. “Okay. We need to have some girl talk, but it can wait until I’m out of these clothes and out of the shower.” She decided. “I’m tired of smelling this stuff on my shirt.”

She didn’t need to explain herself to Kat, who was also weary of the smell. Katelyn stripped down and headed toward the shower, tossing a fluffy pink robe at Kat before she went into the bathroom.

Kat ensured she could hear Katelyn in the shower before undid her shorts. Bet or no bet, they needed to come off, and she couldn’t lounge around in front of Katelyn in her underwear and a robe with a plug in her ass and a vibrator in her pussy. She checked her phone and messaged Selene and Rani.

Brat: I’m taking mine out now. I hope one of you two already has, but I’m crashing at Katelyn’s and don’t want to get caught.

Queenie: You lose bitch!

Rani followed her exclamation up with a devil emoji immediately.

Slut: Don’t listen to her. She’s lying. She took hers out at the clinic.

Queenie: Traitor! I thought we agreed!

Selene returned her exclamation with a devil emoji, and Kat laughed aloud, half in amusement and half in relief.

Kat’s shorts, top, and bra joined the laundry pile. She threw on the robe and waited for Katelyn to exit the bathroom. Then she went in with her purse and took out the vibe, turning it off, and the plug, which was far less comfortable to remove. She cleaned up, and after cleaning both items and putting them away in her purse, she joined Katelyn in the living room.

Katelyn had nail polish on the coffee table for them to choose from and had already started the Hocus Pocus DVD. She had popcorn brewing in the kitchen and poured it into two big bowls. She was wearing a robe similar to Kat’s, but older and more faded, making it a lighter pink to cover her pink boy-short panties. It was impressive that she did it all with her arm back in its sling.

“I needed this.” Kat sighed as she relaxed on the sofa.

Katelyn smirked. “I think I did too.” She agreed. “This is nicer than trying to get wasted at a bar. Next time one of us needs a girls' night out, can we spend it in, instead?”

Kat nodded emphatically. “Definitely.”
