Chapter 55

Courtney was the first to wake up followed shortly by Heather and Tracy.

"You didn't awaken John?" Tracy asked when she realized her husband was carrying her in his arms as he watched over her.

"Felt we should wait until after you woke up." I told her.

"What color did you get?" Caly asked excitedly.

"Green." Heather replied.

"Blue." Courtney responded.

"Purple." Tracy told us as she looked up at her husband. "Your turn." she said, giving him a warm smile.

John nodded then carried her over to a chair then sat beside her. I walked over to him and pushed the same amount of energy into him as I had his wife. He was out in a few moments.

Tracy quickly wiggled out of her husband's arms and rearranged him to be as comfortable as she could.

"Damn that sucked." Bill groaned as he woke up. "Why didn't anyone warn me?" he asked.

"Would you have done it if we told you it would feel like you were burning from the inside out?" I asked.

Bill was silent for a moment, "Probably, but I would have had to talk myself into it." he admitted. "Why isn't Megan up yet?" he asked worriedly.

"She is almost done." Caly replied reassuringly.

Samantha groaned as she woke up. "This had better be worth it." she told us.

"It will be." Micheal replied with a smirk.

Finally Megan stirred. I walked over to look down at her as she opened her eyes. She looked straight up at me then smiled. "Blue."

I smiled back at her then looked over at Bill. "Since this is just about done, we should head to bed, get rested up for tomorrow."

Bill nodded. "Not a bad idea." he agreed.

"Wait!" Samantha said, "Who will awaken my boyfriend?"

"Wasn't he supposed to be here already?" Heather asked.

Samantha pulled her phone out of her bra then glanced at it. "Oh." she said, sounding really disappointed.

"There a problem?" I asked.

Samantha looked at me then sighed and shook her head. "No, he just… No, nothing for you to worry about." she said.

I nodded, I was still curious but it wasn't my business.

I scanned the room and noticed Jake ogling Grace again. I wasn't sure what it was, maybe I was being possessive, but I didn't like the way he looked at Grace. It worried me.

"Delilah." I said aloud. This caught Jake's attention as he looked around for the person I was talking to.

"Yes master?" Delilah said as she flowed out of a shadow that was under the chair Jake had been sitting in and took on her full black wolf form.

"Shit!" Jake said as he jumped from surprise then tried to scramble away from the wolf only to cause himself to fall off the chair and land face first on the floor. It seemed I wasn't the only one who disapproved of Jake.

"You alright?" Bill asked, trying his hardest to hold back a smile.

"What the hell is that?" Jake asked frantically.

"This is Delilah, my bonded." I introduced. "She, along with my mutant cat and Courtney's mutant dog have been patrolling the area." I told him.

Jake seemed to calm down a bit as he looked at Delilah.

I turned my gaze to the pitch black wolf. "Are you going to need rest tonight?" I asked her.

"No master. While I do need to rest now that I have taken this form. Night is the time when I am the strongest. I will be fine until morning." she informed me.

I nodded, "That is good. Can you coordinate with the cat and Chewy, make sure they get a chance to rest?" I asked.

"If that is what you wish." she replied.

"Great." I said, feeling a bit relieved. "Keep an eye out for anything suspicious, and don't hesitate to wake me if something seems odd." I told her.

"Don't worry master, I will keep a close eye both in and out of the house." Delilah reassured. Then she turned her head towards Megan. "Sil and Enya will assist me as well."

The two fairies shot up from where they had been hovering by Megan. "Ahhhh, but we had… plans." Enya said.

"I thought we were just going to spy on..." Sil started to say but Enya quickly covered her mouth.

"No, you will be helping me watch over the house." Delilah told them firmly.

Enya sighed. "Fine." she said with a whine, he reminded me a spoiled child told to clean their room.

"Don't worry, you will have plenty of opportunities to spy on master." Delilah reassured.

I glared at the pair, while a few of the others sniggered.

Enya seemed to consider that then perked up, which bothered me. I wanted to tell them not to peek in on us, but I doubted they would listen, and it would mean no one was watching over us. As I had no idea what was out there anymore, I had no idea which would be worse.

"Get some rest master, tomorrow will be here before you know it." Delilah told me.

"Thank you." I told her.

Delilah dipped her head then disappeared into another shadow. A moment later the pair of fairies seemed to disappear as well.

"Well that is reassuring." Bill said.

John started to stir which was my signal to leave. "Shall we ladies?" I asked looking at my wives. They both nodded then stood up, followed a moment later by Megan and Grace.

I was surprised by Megan and Grace, but only for a moment. Their rooms were downstairs too so I didn't think anything of it.

Bill stared hard at his niece for a few moments then sighed. "Fine, see you all in the morning." he told us.

I headed for the stairs with the four girls following closely behind us. I thought I heard Bill say something when I was halfway down the stairs, but as I didn't hear him calling my name so I ignored it.

"Do you think he will be a problem?" Karen asked once we reached the basement.

"Not tonight." I replied. "Not sure about tomorrow though."

"Any chance you just don't like him and…" Megan started to ask but Grace stopped her.

"No Meg, that guy gives me the creeps." Grace told her seriously. "Don't be alone with him, ever."

Megan stared at Grace for a moment then nodded. "I just thought everyone was overreacting because they didn't like his prank." she admitted.

Grace shook her head. "No Meg." she told her. "I didn't like his prank, but that isn't it." she told her.

"We can talk about it more tomorrow." Karen said.

"Getting anxious?" Grace asked with a smirk.

Karen glared at the other woman which elicited a laugh from the other two.

"Come on." Caly said. "It is my wedding night, and I don't want my husband to fall asleep before we even get to bed."

I frowned at that remark. While I was a bit tired, I wasn't that tired.

"Fine, Grace are you sleeping with me tonight?" Megan asked.

Grace gave Megan a long look. "I can." she said hesitantly then looked at Karen.

Karen just rolled her eyes and looked at me.

A moment later and all four pairs of eyes were locked on me, and I had no idea why. "What?" I asked after a moment my mind raced as I tried to figure out what they wanted from me.

Karen sighed then looked to Megan. "Meg…" she started then stopped unsure how to proceed.

I got it then. Megan had been sitting on the fence about us. With me having married Caly and Karen, she had to have all kinds of mixed feelings. Personally I was for letting it sit, if she wanted to be with me then great. Yet when I thought about it Megan was different. I had pursued Karen in high school, and Caly was already bonded to me. Megan and I had flirted, but there was never anything said between us, just me going with the flow. I had never actually told Megan I wanted to be with her, and now that I had already married two other women I didn't feel I should.

'Man up.' Caly told me mentally.

I glanced at Caly just to see her glare at me. Looking at Karen I saw her give me an expectant look.

'You want this too?' I asked Karen mentally.

'Hurry up.' she replied back quickly.

Definitely an unusual situation, but who was I to argue. While I felt guilty about it, I wanted it too.

Finally I looked at Megan who was staring at me with a conflicted expression. I reached out and took Megan's hand then pulled her towards me. "How about joining us?" I asked her.

"But…" she started but I pulled her closer and leaned down to kiss her. As soon as our lips met she melted into my arms. I held her tightly as we savored the moment together.

"I want you to join us." I told her once our lips parted.

Megan didn't look up at me but leaned her head against my shoulder and nodded. "I want to." she replied.

A moan drew our attention. Karen and Caly had Grace up against the hallway wall. Karen was on Grace's left kissing her lips while Caly was on her left kissing her neck, and both women were kneading one of Grace's breasts.

I gave them a moment, not to be polite, but because I was transfixed by the sight. My mind literally went blank as I took it all in.

"I want some of that too." Megan commented.

I simply nodded.

When Caly started to pull at Grace's clothes I cleared my throat.

The three women turned to look at me. Karen and Caly had mischievous looks while Grace's was full of lust and longing.

"We want this one too." Karen told me.

"Grace?" I asked to be sure.

"Please!" she said, sounding almost desperate.

'We aren't forcing her, or messing with her head.' Caly reassured me telepathically. 'If we don't snatch her now, Courtney will.'

None of this was normal, and certainly not something that should be happening. I wasn't going to fight it though. In fact I was going to be selfish. I wanted all of them, and if they were willing, then why not?

"Alright girls, probably best if we continue this in our room." I told them.

'Husband, you should probably see if you can get a stamina increasing ability.' Caly sent me mentally as she pulled a very willing Grace along towards our room.

'Try not to stay up too late master.' Delilah sent me mentally.

I just smiled and wrapped an arm around Megan and Karen then followed after Caly and Grace.
