It was honestly mind blowing, not just the nine-goddess harem part, but the joy they took in my presence and my thoughts, even the naughty ones. The pleasure they took in my company. My heart and soul belonged to all of them by the end of that night which felt like three days.

  It was also the night I got my first assignment from Calliope, nothing all that difficult but it would definitely impact the whole family. I also wouldn’t be surprised if Elena had the same assignment. I’d wait to tell them after training though, during our daily workout before we split off for one-on-one time. There was no rush or need to interrupt our morning foursome, breakfast with the coven, or my training, which were all things that needed focus in the moment.

  The next morning after the normal wakeup activities and breakfast was a second day of enhanced training. It was a bit crazy as Maggie attacked me with fire, Elena water, and Bonnie spell attacks I couldn’t see, and would only end when I hit the right illusion. It was also definitely coming together, three things at once. I could work all three things independently at that point.

  I mean, I was before, but there was a lot of back and forth in my mind. I’d also been creating dodging patterns and circle waves around the battlefield that was kind of automatic, but I’d gotten my mind to the point I could think on three end results and my subconscious would make it happen.

  Which meant the next day, I’d be practicing with two weapons instead of one, trying to control four things. I’d probably make a mess of it, but that was expected for that first time.

  At the moment, the four of us were working out, and I was enjoying the lovely view of Bonnie in another leotard. A white one that clung to her body like a second skin, showed off three quarters of her D cup cleavage, and of course every glorious inch of her toned and femininely sculpted legs. My Maggie was in a pair of pink stretch shorts and a sports bra that I’d dressed her in, and my exotic beauty was in black tight shorts and a loose t-shirt. I was fairly sure Elena truly enjoyed that I was as mesmerized with her sweet bouncing B cups as I was with Maggie’s Cs and my vixen’s voluminous Ds.

  Being a Tuesday, the coven was at work, but I suspected others would join us again on the coming weekend.

  “So, I got an assignment. One of the muses’ followers has a lot of potential, but she needs a both a little inspiration and an editor. An independent witch in the city, Jackie Marsden.”

  Elena said, “I have the same one.”

  I smiled, “I thought you might.”

  Bonnie interjected, “Teaching magic and editing books just for you two won’t take much time. I could totally do the editing for her, for a lot more people actually.”

  “Yeah, I had a thought about that and I’m glad to hear you’re willing and excited about it. The muses didn’t ask for it, but we could probably start a small publishing and editor company.”

  Maggie said, “I could start up the company, but I don’t have time to run it. You three could probably handle it for a while, but if the muses send a lot of their followers your way it’d get overwhelming.”

  I nodded, “We don’t want to overwhelm any of us with work either, there’d have to be a cap on the number of authors we’d handle that Bonnie could work on. I was thinking we could always hire someone later for the publishing work and advertising, handle the accounts. At that point Bonnie would just be editor, and we’d just be authors, but we can share those two things at first, I think.”

  Maggie giggled, “By hire you mean one of my witches?”

  “It’d be our first choice, but not our only option.”

  Maggie nodded, “That’s up to them, I won’t dictate, but I’m sure we could find one or even two that are willing. At some point I’m going to need help too, once the coven grows large enough. Someone like Reginald at Oak Circle.”

  “Of course, I’m sure she’ll be great.”

  Maggie giggled, “Teasing?”

  I nodded, “Of course, I trust you.”

  Maggie grinned, “I’d prefer a woman actually. This is going to sound sexist, but women are better assistants. I’m going to need help with thousands of details of the coven and several businesses, my schedule, all of that if the coven grows as big as I believe it will. Men suck at that sort of thing, as a rule.”

  Elena said, “Truth, and I like the publishing company for their follower’s idea. I can handle the book covers and advertising, if you take care of the publishing.”

  “You’re an artist too?”

  Elena winked, “Truth. Also be ready for nine excited goddesses tonight, they’re probably thrilled at your idea and initiative.”

  “We couldn’t do it without Aphrodite’s beautiful champion. But they seem pretty thrilled normally.”

  Bonnie blushed at my compliment, and Elena cackled, “Just wait. Gods tend to reward their servants for fulfilling a task, going the extra mile… I wish I’d have thought of that.”

  I blushed, not really sure what to expect tonight. A party?

  “Next subject? I have more.”

  They all nodded, and Maggie said, “I think we have a plan, and your office should be here soon, and the business will take a couple of days to set up.”

  I nodded, “Awesome. So I sent a dead guy west, and he found Carmine. The bastard wants you dead now. Apparently, the message you sent about finding your future true mates really pissed him off. Anyway, we’re going to have to go to L.A. and deal with that asshole, and it’s going to be an all-day affair. Four hours there and back, plus however long it takes me to kill the bastard.

  “We also need to be on the lookout for Dane. He’s tasked with the job, and obviously he already failed once with the helicopter. He’s still got twelve people, including himself, Carmine didn’t send any additional resources here. I can only assume Dane borrowed the chopper from our city’s mercenary company under Ares.”

  Maggie said, “That’s mostly true, umm. We kind of have a jet… so call it a three-hour round trip.”

  I laughed, “Wait, we have a jet?”

  Maggie shrugged, “I do, so we do, yes. The flight to L.A. is about an hour, add an hour for ground travel on both sides, and maybe another half hour to take out the compound.”

  Bonnie gasped.

  Maggie waved lightly, “Most of his teams will be away on assignment. We’ll kill the stalker, break a lot of their toys is what I meant about taking out their compound, and we’ll leave it at that. Still, I’d expect he’ll have at least one team with him still on base for security, then there’s a team and a half here. That’s still… twenty-five people in total? Not much we can do about it though, unless Dane leaves town.”

  Bonnie sighed.

  I said, “Don’t make me spank you, not your fault. It’s his fault he’s going to take three teams with him, and I’ll try to spare some if I can.”

  Bonnie smiled, “Yes, sir.”

  Elena asked, “When?”

  I pondered that, “I’d like to go as soon as possible, but I think Dane will make his move first, and I don’t want to leave the estate empty with that threat over our head. We’ll go after we take down Dane and before he can send anyone else.”

  Maggie smiled, “Works for me. I’ve been looking forward to that alone time with you and didn’t want to skip the schedule back a day. Also, I have a request.”

  I was looking forward to our alone time as well. I’d been alone with Elena a lot more than Maggie the last two weeks, because of Maggie working with her coven at times. It’d been a long time since I’d been truly alone with my innocent faced beauty with the lushly exaggerated and inviting hourglass figure.

  “Shoot.”

  Maggie said, “Late this afternoon, I want to do a tantric spell on behalf of one of my businesses. I don’t want to selfishly use the coven well for my own stuff, though I have every right. I think we can pull it off with just the three of you to power it, the tantric energy from just one of you is enormous, all three of you is dazzling, but the spell requires at least five witches to shape and cast the working.”

  “Five witches?”

  Maggie said, “Well we already have three, so we need two more. Angela and Valerie, you know they’re together?”

  “I got that impression, but I didn’t know for sure until you just said it.”

  Maggie nodded, “They have an open mating, meaning they play with others, but they’re dedicated to each other as permanent mates. They’re only rule is they never play alone, they’re a package deal. Which makes them the perfect pair to join us.”

  Elena asked, “Perfect?”

  Maggie shrugged, “We agreed we could include witches for spells, but that they wouldn’t join the core family. They’re perfect because there won’t be any jealousy problems from the other side. Anyway, are you all alright with that? I think it’ll be perfect anyway, they’ll be willing to join us for spells, but neither us nor them will have hang ups afterward. They’re used to sharing already, and so are we. There shouldn’t be any awkwardness or emotional fallout.”

  “Mostly.”

  Elena said, “Truth. A mated quad is different from just playing with others on occasion when called for with spells. Emotional attachments could form, for me and Jack anyway.”

  “That’s what I meant. I mean I’m not too worried about it,” I turned to Maggie, “but you and Bonnie are very used to casual sex, I was never very good at it. So, it’s a concern.”

  It’s a shallow reaction, but emotions and connections forming after fantastic sex was almost a given for me.

  Elena nodded, “Me either, but I suggest we do the spell, then talk it all over after. I wouldn’t be too sure about you two either.”

  Bonnie tilted her head, “What do you mean?”

  Elena shrugged, “This isn’t a frat party where we’re fucking strangers for pleasure and forgetting about them. Both Angela and Valerie are in the coven, live in this house, and they will be extended family to us all. I mean, I already like them, we just don’t know each other all that well yet. That all adds up to me suspecting even you and Maggie could form deeper emotional attachments when sharing pleasure.”

  “That’s a good point.”

  Maggie said, “I didn’t see that, okay. Well, we’ll do it today and then talk about it frankly and openly, make sure we’re all okay with it, and we’ll check in often.”

  Bonnie asked, “Setup?”

  Maggie said, “I’m north, Elena east, Bonnie south, and Valerie west. We’ll be in a Sapphic circle around both Angela and Jack who’ll be in the middle of us. We set the spell, and I’ll use my magic to make sure our orgasms are all synchronized to fully power and launch the spell.”

  “Wait, I’m fucking Angela?”

  Maggie grinned, “Yes. She requested it, and I’m really looking forward to watching you rock her world while I’m licking out Valerie with Elena’s tongue on me, Bonnie’s on Elena, and Valerie’s on Bonnie.”

  “Requested it?”

  My mind was trying to catch up.

  Maggie nodded, “Yes. Val’s not ready to trust her body to another man yet, and Angela thinks you’re hot and is ready to have a man between her legs again. I think she’s got a little damsel crush going on too.”

  I nodded dubiously, “As long as we’re all good with it.”

  It also put a new blush on her coming to talk to me last night, without a bra, and her teasingly flirty expressions and tone of voice. Maybe she wasn’t such a cock tease after all. Not that I thought of it in a negative way, some women enjoy flirting and not touching, and I thought she thought I’d been the safe guy to flirt with that had three mates. She was cuter than she was pretty, but that had an allure all its own, as did her leggy and lithe dancer’s body and pertly generous torpedoed B cups.

  Bonnie giggled, “If you’re worried about jealousy, you won’t find it here. She’s gorgeous after all, and we’re sure of you. It’s really okay to enjoy it, sir.”

  Elena said, “Truth.”

  I sighed, “Fine, that was making me a little uncomfortable because I really want to fuck her now that it was said out loud. I mean, I didn’t really consider it before, but… there it is. It made me feel guilty, emotional infidelity if not faithlessness of deed.”

  Elena grinned, “I get it, but that’s both natural and more than okay. Maggie’s not the only one that enjoys watching a beautiful woman come all over that fat cock of yours.”

  Right, good to know, and Bonnie’s naughty giggle that followed told me I had three voyeuristic mates that wanted to watch me fuck another woman. It was… surreal, but I wasn’t about to say no, even if I was a little worried that I’d get attached to what I couldn’t have.

  Surreal or not, I couldn’t deny that I would greatly enjoy seeing Maggie eating out the petite and sexy Valerie with the very generous C cups on that petite five foot two curvaceous body. Not to mention watching Valerie getting off Bonnie on her tongue. But I was a guy, I supposed I hadn’t entirely ditched that human upbringing yet after all.

  Not that humans didn’t do partially open polyamory relationships, but it was far more the norm in our world.

  Maggie snickered, “Can’t wait. We’re allowed to be a little naughty, sir. We’re just not allowed to only be naughty. Spells only, and with all of us mates there.”

  “What’s the problem anyway?”

  Maggie said, “Rotten egg is causing problems, sabotage, I think. Made us lose two lucrative business deals this quarter alone, and the manager in place can’t figure out who it is. Both clients went from excited and ready to sign, to not answering calls and being hostile. I suppose it could be a competitor with dirt real or imagined, and real or false proof of it, and if it is then we’ll find that out too.

  “The spell should point me in the right direction of who it is. Once I find him or her, and the proof. Once we have that we’ll let the human police deal with it. It’s a satellite all human business in the city I’m mostly just a silent partner in, forty two percent ownership.”

  I stirred in my pants even as I pumped out another rep.

  “You’ll have to tell me all about it when it’s over.”

  Maggie asked, “You care about business?”

  I shook my head and blushed, “Not really, I just find your ruthlessness in business really hot.”

  Elena cackled, “Truth!”

  Maggie blushed, but also looked turned on. I suppose I should say more turned on, since all four of us were a little warm and anticipatory about that spell later on that evening. Not to mention the one-on-one time that Maggie and I would be sharing right after our post-workout shower.

  Chapter Eight

  I enjoyed the view of the tight pear-shaped ass and long legs, and the petite and lusciously tiny, bubbled ass swaying gracefully and alluringly as Bonnie and Elena left Maggie and I in the bedroom after our shower. I scooped her up and took her to the bed and laid down next to her, pulling her to my side.

  She looked at the clothes I’d laid out on the nearest couch, “No trampy slut today?”

  I grinned, “You’re always my tramp, saucy nymph, and naughty good girl, love. But no, we’re expecting that delivery soon, and no other man gets to see you in that stuff again but me. Plus, you should look badass business and sexy when Dane shows up again.”

  She smiled, “I can always be your tramp?” she asked teasingly, but her warm and soft eyes told me another story.

  “Promise, mags. Plus you haven’t seen the lingerie you’ll be wearing under it yet.”

  She kissed me softly, “This is… I’ve missed this. I love Elena to death, but I feel like the center of your universe right now.”

  I nodded, “I feel the same way. You are the center of my universe right now, my sweet trampy good girl.”

  She got a little lost in my eyes, and I was lost in hers. Light brown and wide, innocent eyes set in an innocently beautiful face, which made her saucy and dirty talk so much more effective on me, and her body was a luscious dream. Generously proud heart shaped C cups stacked together and pushed against my side, with gorgeous dark brown nipples against her fair tanned skin. Her light brown hair was straight, and it normally fell like a curtain of spun silk down her body, but at the moment was pooled and fanned out on the pillow under her head.

  My fingertips teased her lower back and the bottom of her delightfully rounded and supplely nubile ass. I felt lost in that gaze, the loving devotion and joy, from simply being in my arms and having my full attention. Her breathless love and naughty devotion were also enthralling to me, and I felt spellbound by her soft innocent beauty and curvaceous hourglass body.

  The sweet sensations of her hand caressing and teasingly tracing the muscles on my chest and abdomen was delightfully decadent and sent tingles of pleasure down to my cock.

  “You are so precious, and so very beautiful, my Mags. You awe me, all of you.”

  She beamed, and she bit her lip, “You make me feel that way, by the way you’re looking at me right now. By the way you treat me, and look after me, the way you possess me. Do you remember what you asked us two days ago?”

  I nodded, suddenly unable to speak as my heart was lodged in my throat.

  She kissed me lingeringly, “I want it, fuck my plans, you blew them all out of the water when you stole my heart. I want you to have all of me, and I want to carry your baby and start a family. I want to swear myself to you and our family before the goddess I worship and love,” she caressed my face, “I also want to do it jointly, let me talk to Elena and plan it out? The three of us?”

  I nodded, “I’d love to, if you’re sure.”

  She smiled almost shyly, “I want to be there when you consummate with Elena, and give her a baby, and then I want to share our consummation with her, with all my heart. It will also mean swearing before both our goddesses, though I’m not sure if that’ll be two or ten.”

  I chuckled, “If it’s two, they’ll likely send Erato, but I don’t know, it could be all nine.”
