I manhandled her across the room to the new couch. I’d been planning on bending her over the arm and dominating her hard, but I changed my mind at the last second. I spun her around as I sat instead, and then pulled her into my lap so that she was straddling me.

  “I want to see those beautiful doe brown eyes while you cum for me. No, baby, I need to see them.”

  She looked absolutely breathless as her eyes melted with adoration, and then the crazy kicked in and she fumbled my pants open as fast as she could, only relenting for a brief moment to raise her arms as I pulled her dress over her head. She mainly wore woman’s skirt business suits, but that day she’d had on a professional dress with plenty of sex appeal.

  Her sweet tits bounced and swayed, she hadn’t been wearing a bra as was usual, all she had on was a pair of lacy and silk black panties.

  She went back to fishing me out while I sucked in one of her nipples gently, and teasingly swirled it with my tongue as I teased her other breast with a gentle hand. My other hand was far firmer, on her sexy ass, sliding underneath the panties to squeeze her ass almost brutally. Just her wild scent of powerful arousal would’ve told she was soaked for me at my treatment and pass, but the slightly shinier and darker wet spot on her panties also told me she was hot and ready for it.

  I moaned into her breast as her soft fingertips took me in hand, stroked me, and then lined me up. It was so intense, suckling her breast and looking up into those warm and crazy for me brown eyes, as she slowly lowered herself and impaled herself on my aching cock.

  “So beautiful.”

  I could see the conflicting love and lust in her eyes, she was manic for me, but didn’t know whether to ride me hard or make love to me. She so clearly needed both, my wild and hot Asian goddess.

  While I was right about all of that, I was also a little wrong. It was that, but more than that too.

  “What do you need, baby.”

  She shuddered and gasped as I gave her a harsh swat down below, while caressing her lovingly up above.

  Her eyes went wide with manic need and runaway desire, “Your baby, sir.”

  I twitched so hard at that it made her smile wide, and her uncertainty faded.

  She said softly, seductively, while taking me deeper into her tight passage, “You want that too? To put a baby in your hot exotic Asian beauty?”

  I twitched again, which made her giggle in delight, her soft and doe brown eyes absolutely glowing with thrilled excitement.

  Then I started to recite the words to a spell, which utterly destroyed the magic of the contraceptive potion she took on a monthly basis.

  That really flipped her crazy switch, and she started to bounce, grind, clench, milk and pleasure me like a woman possessed.

  “So good, baby.”

  I wasn’t about to let her do all the work, and gripped her ass tighter, and started to pound up into her in a perfect counterpoint to her wild bouncing. The pleasure was unreal, we were going at it like animals down below, she wanted a baby that bad, and I really wanted to give her one.

  But up above it was all awed and deep intimacy, we were making love and deep promises of forever and family with our eyes, and I was completely mesmerized and lost in hers as they teared up with joy. But down below… she was working me hard, trying to extract my sperm and pulling out all the stops as she rutted me from above.

  We both flew toward completion. She was an amazing fuck, exotically beautiful, I loved her, and we had the added mental fodder of making a baby. She was entirely and joyfully overwhelming, and I could tell she was just as overwhelmed. Family, commitment, children, true love, it was what she’d always wanted and been denied up until me.

  While I would deny her nothing. Ever. She was mine, loyal to a fault, but I was hers as well. Utterly, and completely.

  The pleasure of her body on mine was almost too much, her slick and hot silken passage pure heavenly bliss on my length, sending luxurious waves of intense pleasure into my body. I felt the tsunami of pleasure rise up out of the depths of my being, and it was going to be explosive.

  “Fuck, baby. I’m going to fill you.”

  That made her cry out, “Liam!” and her whole body trembled as she went over the edge into ecstasy.

  I continued to nail her through it from below, as she splintered apart in blissful rapture, her eyes so very vulnerable and loving as she shared that with me, while her body bounced like a rag doll on my pounding cock.

  But not for long, maybe ten more strokes, and I joined her in explosive ecstasy.

  The idea my pulses of life giving sperm was entering the now fertile ground of her pussy, as I stared with love up into her eyes, was simply overwhelming. Sure, it might not take this first time, all I’d done was kill the contraceptive, there was still a cycle to deal with. But it could.

  She collapsed on me as we came down, my flagging cock warmed by her paradise, and I was in no hurry to remove it.

  She giggled, “Wow, that really happened.”

  I grinned, “Yes. I love you, baby.”

  She bit her lip, “What brought it on in the first place. I mean, I really loved how you were taking me, like you needed me desperately.”

  I grinned, “I did, baby. You seduce my senses constantly, with your heart, your loyalty, your love, your crazy, and yes, even with your hot body and exotic eastern beauty.”

  She giggled.

  I continued, “Usually you go manic for it sometime in the morning hours before lunch. But today was unique, and you had to master that because of the whole Aubrey thing and work.”

  She pondered that a second, then narrowed her eyes suspiciously, “Wait a minute. Are you telling me you’d be losing control and taking me like a crazy person possessed this whole time, if I hadn’t been doing it first?”

  I snickered, “There’s a lot of truth in that, Lianne. You take the edge off before I need to, most days. Either by seducing me to take you or jumping me.”

  I got the impression she was going to try to exercise more restraint, on at least half the days, so that I’d be the one dragging her off like a caveman. It was a very shifter thing, I think I’ve mentioned we tended to be a randy lot, and Lianne drove me crazy. Regardless, she seemed to really enjoy that, me losing control and taking her without invitation.

  Lianne said, “So, you really want me, for life?”

  “Oh, baby. Never doubt it. You are my mate, one of them, in this life. So is Cerise, it’s just the other two that haven’t decided yet.”

  She beamed, even as she looked overwhelmed at my admission.

  And in truth, I wasn’t entirely sure about Faith yet either. It looked good, but it was too soon for commitments either way. The only block to a commitment with Aubrey was her being willing to have a creative family, I was already sure of her, and her me, on a one-on-one level, if I hadn’t already made that crystal clear.

  Lianne looked all melty, and as always, stunningly beautiful. It wasn’t really the eastern thing, she was just plain beautiful to me. Exquisitely so. Beauty was beauty after all, and she was exceptionally so regardless to her ethnicity, even among goddesses. Sure, I could be biased, but I didn’t think I was wrong either.

  Point being, she was plain hot, period. Despite our playful banter, just want to make it clear I don’t have some weird fetish for Asian women, they were all delightful to my eyes and senses that way.

  I teleported us home, straight to bed, and took my place between her legs. I needed to make love to her, after making that commitment. I’d never let her go, and I was fairly sure she’d never let me go either.

  So we did, make love that is. Soft, lovingly sweet, and achingly poignant. She made me feel like the luckiest man on the planet. It made us a little late to lunch with the others, but neither of us minded. Also, on the good side in my mind, it gave Aubrey plenty of time to get to know Cerise and Faith without me underfoot.

  Chapter Eleven

  It was later that evening when quite a few things broke, nothing that required an immediate response even if alarming toward the future, and some of it was even satisfying.

  The five of us were on the couch, with me in the middle seat and Aubrey curled into me sideways in my lap, with her legs on top of Cerise’s who was on my left and leaning into that side. Faith’s lush feminine softness was snuggled into my right, and Lianne was snuggled into her side with an arm across so she could caress both our legs on occasion.

  It was a tight fit, yet totally comfortable for me, a shifter and cuddle slut’s dream really. I imagine most others would’ve felt smothered or buried by all that snuggling estrogen, but for me it was truly calming and centering. My whole family or core pack snuggled with me for the evening news. It was also about intimacy, not working each other up for later that night when we’d have our first fivesome.

  Regardless, all three of the major stories on the news stations were about the gods in some way or another, even if the newscasters didn’t know the first story was connected to us, Russia certainly did.

  The first one as I’d said, was a little satisfying. Several companies around the world had leaked the fact that Russia had hacked them and compromised their data. Not nearly all, and none of the government agencies around the world had leaked that data, but it was still high in the double digits and a huge story.

  Maybe it was a bit petty, but I was gratified they were being heavily embarrassed front and center on the world stage, not just in backroom deals. A lot of those companies had been government sponsored top secret developers as well, so I was sure even if those hadn’t leaked there was some more backlash going on under the table.

  Hopefully it wouldn’t lead to war, and just sanctions in the U.N. I really didn’t want that former one to happen.

  The other stories that did concern me greatly were about Viktor, though he had as of yet refused to comment or talk to the press at all.

  The first of those was that he was forcing any gods that weren’t his out of Iceland. The only good thing I could say about that was he hadn’t killed any of them, including two of mine who had called that country home for their whole lives. He had used compulsion and even gave them twenty-four hours to make arrangements, but if they were still present after that he promised they’d be killed.

  It was what I’d feared, that one of the other pantheons might decide to stake a territory. The press was speculating about what it all might mean, both for humans and for the stability of the gods on the planet. I wasn’t honestly sure what I could or should do about it.

  In one way it was unacceptable, the world should be shared. I didn’t know the reason we were back, no god did, but if we were meant to stake out claims our true spirit selves would’ve all chosen to be reborn in the same countries and areas that we were in thousands of years ago, not spread around the world. We were also still the people we’d grown up as, and more modern of thought. Sure, we were proud of our nations of birth, but that didn’t make every other country our enemy.

  In short, it felt like a step backwards.

  On the good side, Viktor was a total pain in the ass. I could warily get along with the other pantheons, but his would be violently isolationist and attack any outside god even appearing to interfere. So maybe it was for the best, if he staked his claimed and stayed there, brought his gods there, it’d be a lot easier for me, Layla, Gopal, and Karim to keep our gods away from his.

  The problem with that was I had no idea what his ultimate plans were, and assuming that was his plan, to be isolationist, would be a mistake. I couldn’t get at that information yet, so for all I knew in a worst-case scenario he’d be using it as a base for his militarized pantheon.

  That news story segued into the next one nicely, as it was about the fact that he’d also early this afternoon our time, bullied himself to and closeted himself with the Prime Minister. The PM was the one with all the power, the president of Iceland was more like the royal family in England, a figurehead position with limited diplomatic powers.

  It was probably the most alarming story, both for me and the news, and probably every leader around the world. That said, they had no idea what was discussed, only I did. All they knew was after Viktor left the Prime Minister began calling several influential members of parliament.

  After the news rotation finished and went back to the beginning, I spoke.

  “I don’t know what he’s up to yet. He didn’t compel the prime minister, but he did use influence, heavily. Related to foreign policy mostly. He doesn’t like how weak they are on the world stage. They used to be feared as a country of fierce warriors, now they’re… a tourist attraction. His words, not mine.

  “It’s a nightmare really, and something I didn’t really expect.”

  Lianne said, “It does seem stupid to declare himself a threat to humanity, why is it our problem?”

  I replied, “If he kept his squabbles between the pantheons it would be manageable. I could just stay out of it, for instance, if he clashed with the Hindu gods, without worrying it would come back on us. I’m not sure I can keep our gods out of it, if he starts trying to rule humanity. Even just one country of it. The humans won’t stand for it, and we’ll be under threat because of it, they’ll lump us all in as the same threat unless we take a stand on their side against it.

  “There’s a chain there, but it comes down to him attacking us and threatening us indirectly. His actions directly correlate to a theoretical human threat against us, so I’d be forced to respond to defend against that possibility. Which may also be playing right into his hands. He could say he was just aiding his country, and accuse us of being the aggressors, because he hadn’t touched our gods.

  “It’s a physical and political morass of danger. I didn’t really expect him to go after a human government like this. If he takes it too far, I’ll have to choose very carefully when to strike, or he could turn it all around on us via fear and manipulation, spin.

  “What didn’t make the news was he also visited a lot of covens and packs yesterday, as well as two fae settlements. He demanded their fealty on pain of death, another anachronism of the past, since our gods pretty much let the supernatural races do whatever they want unless they go far off the path. It seems pretty clear he intends to rule all of Iceland, from the weakest human to the most powerful of his gods, and everything in between. I just don’t know why yet, or what he plans after that’s all in place. Will he bunker in, or expand further?

  “It seems reckless and stupid on the outside, the humans will probably declare war on his pantheon and the rest of the gods because of it, once they figure out what’s going on. Maybe he’s hoping they won’t figure it out.

  “He’s not stupid though, and he’s hiding his endgame from me. He could just be crazy and trying to resurrect the past, but I can’t be sure of it. He had a hard life growing up. Think Clarissa, but far more functional, though I can’t prove that. I mean, even Nate never used influence when negotiating for recognition in the U.N. and to establish our partnership with humanity.”

  Aubrey asked, “Who’s Clarissa?”

  Faith replied, “The first goddess of love, in our first wave arrival over forty years ago. She went insane when her mantel settled on her, from her life’s abuses. She tried to destroy the world, actually. Mark stopped her,” Faith smirked, “Then was the father of the next one.”

  Aubrey blinked, “Oh.”

  I grinned, “We don’t exactly advertise the fact the gods almost ended the world, and she wasn’t the only god to break upon receiving their power, just the most dangerous one. Especially since Nate hadn’t been born yet, and Gary the only other tier one in the first wave was hiding and laying low. He might have stepped up, probably would’ve, but he hadn’t been aware of the danger.

  “So, anyway. The Prime Minister is calling all those influential members of parliament to have a closed top-secret meeting about pushing for changes. I suspect it’ll also be a prime opportunity for Viktor to influence all of them at once to his way of thinking. I don’t know for sure, but it seems an obvious next step in the direction he’s going right now.”

  Lianne nodded, “He’d almost have to, if the policy changes in foreign policy and militarization are too crazy, then they’d tell the PM to go take a leap.”

  “Exactly, baby. I imagine in the next couple of days we’ll have a better idea of his overall plan based on what he does. Then I’ll call a council and we’ll decide if and how to act. I really hope he is stupid, and not crazy, because recycling him would leave his pantheon without a head, which could end up being even worse.”

  Cerise said, “Cheery thought. They’d want vengeance for his death?”

  “Some of them, but mostly they won’t have a leash holder. That’s assuming we can even take him down without sparking an all-out war. I’m going to keep my options open as long as possible, for the same reason he’s doing it to prevent me from locking onto his plan.”

  Faith blinked, and kissed my cheek, “Still, as long as we act before the next full moon, we should be able to easily overwhelm any defenders to get to him. He only has a sixth of his pantheon, and maybe one other tier one god.”

  I smiled smugly, “Yes, I’m kind of counting on that, but it’s also my last option. His pantheon will be a pain in the ass for the next twenty years if Viktor needs to be recycled for better luck in the next life. Beating some sense into him politically or physically would be a much better turnout.”

  Faith chuckled seductively, and I turned my head toward her for a sweet kiss.

  Cerise said, “We should get going, to finish making the new mansion livable, and nice.”

  I nodded, “That’s fine, but tomorrow night I’m taking all of you out. So if you don’t finish this evening, you can work on it the day after.”

  The brief separation of them shopping will also have them all worked up for later tonight. Especially with Faith along, working them all up from that angle as well. I was also looking forward to our first fivesome, but anticipation was all a part of it, it’d be fun to put it off for a while.
