“Cum for me,” I ordered in a very firm and stern tone, that was nonetheless tinged with a slight breathiness from the pleasure of plundering her silken passage again and again. The liquid friction and snug relief sent euphoric sensations racing through my body with each and every stroke as our bodies slapped together.

  Regardless of that slight breathiness, my sexy Dawn immediately rolled into a second orgasm. I suspected either of the two spanks or just the verbal order would’ve been enough, but with all three her sex hugged me fiercely and soaked my middle as she let out a sharp cry of ecstasy, which cut off into wild and gasping pants.

  I pounded her through the second orgasm and felt a bit smug about it, like I’d totally shown her, but of course that had been her plan the whole time. She loved it when I took firm aggressive control, and she loved having her ass and tits harshly spanked. So I suspected she was feeling a similar smugness as well at being so dominated and pleasured in bed because she’d made me lose control.

  I let her come down from that, and she started to work me hard and fast, bucking her body back against me in perfect harmony that time, with delicious and tiny grinds while rolling her hips slightly to increase my pleasure greatly. If that wasn’t enough, she also squeezed around me with her monster strength floor muscles, for those mini-grinds as I continued to punish her sex with hard and merciless thrusts.

  My heart was hammering in my chest because I wasn’t holding anything back, either with my wild driving cock or the harsh spanking I continued to administer to both her ass cheeks. My control faltered, and I heard her hiss of approval as my cock surged and stretched out her heaven even further.

  “Cum for me, my sexy imp.”

  It was her pet name. One I’d decided on yesterday but hadn’t shared with her. It fit her perfectly, she was sexy as hell, and mischievous as an imp. While her sister was my wild one.

  Regardless, hearing that pet name for the first time sent her over the edge, or it could’ve been the feeling of my cock starting to pulse and twitch inside her heaven, as my body unleashed my pleasure into the paradise of her lushly sumptuous body.

  When we came down, I collapsed next to her and pulled her too me.

  “Master, I like that. I am your sexy imp,” she said in a loving voice.

  “You drive me crazy.”

  She giggled, “You love it.”

  I nodded, “I really do, feel better?”

  She snuggled in with a sigh, “Always when I’m with you, master. I didn’t come in here to seduce you into dominating me though. I couldn’t help it, when I saw you there, I had to have you.”

  “Oh, what’s up?”

  She said, “I think Ginny should stay home, with one of us and the baby, for when there is an expected confrontation or violent mission. If only one of us is at a fight, we won’t be able to properly protect her and you at the same time.”

  “I thought about that before, she’s not much use in a fight, though she’s entirely amazing with the rest of our lives. She can also bind wounds well with beauty magic after the fight, which does give her presence in danger some value. Umm, the truth is I don’t think she’ll listen.”

  Dawn kissed me, then said, “She will now, master. Pride, fear for you and us facing danger without her, not knowing if we’re safe, those drove her to be there with us. But she will stay home for Mila’s sake. My sister and I will also take turns, protecting you or staying home to protect them.”

  I nodded, that made sense, and I wasn’t too worried about that. What truly worried me is the idea of getting ambushed while we were out, with my daughter. Not all battles would be obvious, nor would we see them all coming.

  “I’ll mention it to her over lunch.”

  She kissed my neck, then started to kiss her way down my body. Her blowjobs were mind blowing, but also teasing. She loved to tease me and hold me on the edge for a long time, and she was masterful at it. Sexy imp fit her to a tee. Her sweet and sensuous moans of enjoyment, the way she playfully made love to my cock with her mouth, and I was truly in awe of her.

  I didn’t so much mind the teasing, because when she finally relented the finish was always quite potent after being on the edge so long.

  Dawn had been right. Ginny wasn’t a fighter, and was a daughter of beauty, not a fighter at all. With the added weight of having a daughter to take care of, she reluctantly agreed to my suggestion over lunch. She was far from happy with it, obviously so, but life was like that sometimes, and there were no good choices.

  She was crucial to the family of course, because fighting was the least of what we did. She was currently our only breadwinner, had the most money, and she took care of us all. She was also still my advisor and who I went to most for questions about my new world. Most importantly, she was my lovingly submissive and sweet mate. She was amazing as hell, and I admired her greatly, it was only her prowess in battle that was lacking.

  I was happy enough with it, and it would be one less thing to worry about when we needed to go to battle. Of course, it didn’t mean she’d be safe all the time, for the times were ambushed, and the twins would need to protect both her and my daughter. Just the idea of our enemy putting my daughter in danger pissed me off.

  It was toward the end of lunch, and we were all relaxed. I was getting my mind ready to start magic practice. Our enemy still had a day and a half before we had to go on the offensive again if they didn’t answer. They clearly didn’t take that time, because their answer came in the form of a fiery explosion in that moment, as the kitchen door exploded into splinters and tiny shards of glass.

  The fire licked at the kitchen floor but went out quickly as Nicole did something with her power.

  My first thought was the baby as splinters hit my back, but relief surged through me as Aurora was already covering her with her body, I hadn’t even seen her move out of her chair.

  The relief left quickly, as an angry rage surged through my entire being.

  Lillian’s voice boomed from outside, “You dare threaten us? You will meet us in one hour at the wreckage of Janice’s house to have this out one way or the other permanently. If you choose not to show up, we will kill all the slut goddess’s children in the city, and utterly destroy you in this home no matter the consequences or what the humans might see.”

  I leapt up and made it to the door right behind Janice, but we were only just in time to hear a car peal out of the alley behind the backyard.

  “Options?” I asked coldly.

  Janice rubbed my back softly, which helped calm me a bit, but not all that much. I was in control though. I felt icy rage in my chest, and I wanted that bitch Lillian to choke to death on it.

  Ginny said, “Few. That wasn’t an empty threat, it was a declaration of war pending our actions over the next hour. If we don’t go, then Hera and Aphrodite and all their children will be at war… they’ll be slaughtered. My brothers and sisters can’t fight any more than I can.”

  “And if we win? Will my stepmother simply send another in Lillian’s place?”

  Ginny shrugged, “I don’t know.”

  I growled, “Hera! I’m done with this. We will comply with your threat, and we’ll meet Lillian in battle. That will be the end, no matter the turn out. Aphrodite’s children may be helpless against your warriors, but I am not. I swear to you I will burn it all down, spend my life going from city to city eradicating your interests, your children, your influence, until none is left on this world. If we win this battle, it will be at an end, or I’m going to war.”

  Thunder cracked and rolled, and dark clouds billowed into being above the house, and for just a moment I feared I’d gone a step too far.

  Mocking laughter rolled down from the heavens, so loud it hurt, and the bitchiest voice I’d ever heard asked, “All by yourself?”

  I grunted, “By myself? Haven’t you been paying attention? I have three monster mates, I can easily make that three hundred. Perhaps a thousand. Every time I take down a city, I’ll have more at my back. You will supply my army out of the wreckage of your labors. You’d also be a fool to discount my allies. You threatened war first, I have no interest in it, or you, but I’ve been pushed past endurance. Let this be the end, or there will be war. I’m done fucking around with you.”

  Ginny looked at me like I was insane.

  Her voice boomed, “Agreed, but there will be no retreat. You will fight to the death, or Aphrodite will pay for her foolish decision to succor you.”

  “Same goes for yours. Unless you’d rather come to your senses now? I’ve no need to kill your children today, and I am no threat to you or yours if left alone.”

  She replied haughtily, “They will stand and fight as you do. The results will be left to stand on their own. But… my agents will hold you in enmity, should you come across them, but they will not actively hunt you any further. Nor will I encourage my allies to hunt you. That is my offer.”

  “Accepted!” I growled. It sounded like the best I’d get from the crazy bitch queen of the heavens. Especially because she hated me for what I was born as, and what my father had done.

  Which… seemed a whole lot more hypocritical in the real world outside of Greek mythology, where she had half-human children of her own running around, didn’t it? Well, humans were good at hypocrisy, maybe the gods were too.

  The clouds cleared.

  “Well, so what do you all think?”

  Ginny laughed in an unhinged way, “That was crazy, but it worked out the best as we could’ve hoped. She’s a lot of things, but she will not go back on her word.”

  Nicole asked almost pointedly, “Thousands of monster mates?”

  I shook my head, “Not likely, love doesn’t work that way, three is enough. But she didn’t seem to know that, and I could collect them and conquer them the old-fashioned way, with my ideas for controlling them. But no, how could I keep a thousand monsters sated, and I wouldn’t want to try.”

  Nicole softened, obviously reassured by my words.

  Caroline said, “You know it’s a trap. The odds will be stacked against us, and with either Dawn or Aurora staying behind to watch Ginny and Mila that only makes it worse.”

  Ginny said, “I’m willing to stay with her alone, I don’t think she’d go back on her word and attacking me here and not at the appointed meeting place would be going back on her word. The chances of another threat being out there and striking in the hour or so you’re gone is almost nil.”

  Aurora and Dawn growled.

  Ginny swallowed, “Or not.”

  “Same plan? Aurora and I will handle the monsters, Caroline and Bree takes Hazel while Janice and Nicole take Lillian?”

  I nodded at Dawn when she looked at me with a question in her eyes, she’d be the one staying back with my daughter and Ginny.

  Caroline said, “That is the best plan, the problem is they’ll be ready for it. We’ve already used that plan twice. We need a new tactic, one they won’t see coming, and that addresses the Empusa and monsters they’ll be sure to have. I wouldn’t be surprised if they doubled up the normal numbers, ten Empusa and twenty-four monsters, against the six of us.”

  I suggested, “One group stay in tight formation. Flanked by Aurora, Nicole, and Bree. Nicole and Janice will keep us from getting roasted. I can take down Hazel and Lillian with lightning, while you, Bree, and Aurora…” I trailed off, not sure the original idea wasn’t best, even if they saw it coming.

  Janice said, “Hazel should go down fast, but Lillian can block your conduits like I can.”

  Caroline said, “We also can’t count on it. If I was Lillian I’d put a monster half a mile down the road each way, and then take down the electrical lines from both directions as soon as the fight started. I suspected she picked Janice’s rural house in the hopes we’d make a plan depending on your lightning. It might not happen, but we can’t depend on it.”

  Ginny bit her lip nervously, “So you’ll be highly outnumbered, and they’ll deny you our greatest weapon?”

  Caroline nodded, “That’s what I would do, but I don’t know how well-trained Lillian is in tactics. I grew up getting spoon fed this stuff from when I was in diapers so it’s obvious to me. Lillian is also arrogant, so she may not, but we can’t depend on it.”

  Janice said, “We can leave the cars running a few blocks away, close enough so he can draw from them. And of course, he can walk in at full power, and at least take down five of them.”

  Caroline nodded, “Good idea. I like the one group idea. We can all support each other in three pairs. And we’ll be at an advantage at distance with my bow, and with Janice keeping us safe from fire. We’ll only engage our primary targets if they come to us while we’re clearing the monsters and Empusa out. Once their servants are dead, if they’re still at a distance, Janice takes Lillian and I’ll take Hazel.”

  I said, “With the cars my draw will be limited. I can take out four monsters every eight to ten seconds maybe? Pulling off two alternators. I’ll also try to hit the ones closest first, so no one has to go far to finish them.”

  Janice said, “I have a natural gas backup generator. If it wasn’t destroyed in the fire then it should kick on if the electric grid goes down.”

  “That would help, but I won’t count on it.”

  Caroline nodded, “You should take down one every two seconds instead, after the initial strike of four when you’re at full power. It’ll be the same amount, four every eight seconds or so, but with you firing lightning every two seconds it will keep them on their toes and warier of charging. If the generator is up, then take two every two seconds. I think we have a plan, let’s hope they didn’t double all of their numbers.”

  Yeah, or more. Still, even conquered monsters weren’t easily controlled in large numbers, twelve each might be too much for them to keep control of. My three were much more stable, with the addition of our mate connection they were truly mine, as long as I kept up with my mate duties and sated their libidos on a daily basis.

  “I’ll do that, unless of course she doesn’t take down the power lines, then I can get four every two to three seconds.”

  I was also terrified that even if we did win against their obvious trap, there was a good chance not all of us would come out the other side of it in one piece. I wasn’t really willing to contemplate the loss of any of my mates, and not my two allies either.

  If I died then I didn’t suppose it would matter, and there was a certain comfort in knowing at the very least my Ginny and Dawn would survive, and they’d raise my daughter in love.

  But fuck that, I’d rather make them die for their bitch goddess.

  Unfortunately, the enemy got a vote too.

  Of course, life was random, and that one certainty was blown away like dust on the wind a moment later. Or at least part of it, my daughter was still guaranteed to survive at the least.

  A rich warm voice from the kitchen door drew my eyes, as Aphrodite walked inside. She winked at me as she went straight for my daughter, and she picked her up with a delighted sigh.

  “I’ll spend some time with my daughter, all of you should go.”

  Right, and just that fast Ginny and Dawn were coming with us after all, no one would attack my child when her godly mother was babysitting.

  Caroline adjusted first, “Same plan, one group of eight and we stick together no matter what until the monster numbers are brought down.”

  I walked over and gave my goddess a lingering kiss, then kissed my daughter on the forehead. My stomach tightened in that moment, as I wondered if I’d ever see them again.

  Sure, I was committed, even confident in some ways, and determined to win my and my family’s freedom from Hera’s interference. I was powerful, and believed we could win, but we weren’t unbeatable by a long shot.

  She said firmly but with a slight teasing lilt, “Stay safe, or you’ll owe me another apology.”

  I almost laughed, because that made it almost tempting to take a wound just so I could worship her with my tongue for another endless night. To soften her displeasure.

  We all headed out to the cars. One way or another, I’d be free of Hera after this. Either in death, or in victory.

  Chapter Fourteen

  The sun was bright in the sky that early afternoon as we headed out of the city. Ginny was curled into my side in the back seat, while Nicole and Bree were up front.

  I was stewing in my anger, but I was also starting to feel foolish and like I just might’ve walked into the enemy’s plans.

  “I fucked up, didn’t I. Put us in an all or nothing situation that we can’t walk away from before it’s done.”

  Janice replied, “Yes, and no. It was a little premature, you really could use a lot more training, but also no because something like this was probably inevitable. The gods have a few weaknesses, chief among them arrogance. They’re also gamblers. I doubt anything else but that kind of gamble, could’ve made our enemy offer you a way out from under her spiteful need to kill you.

  “It is dangerous, and some or all of us could die, but that’s our world. We could also all get out of this alive. If it was a really bad deal, then Ginny or I would’ve waved you off before making the final agreement with our enemy.”

  I frowned, something had been bothering me for a while. The fact I needed an electrical source. What did an electro-kinetic do before the advent of power lines and electricity, they hadn’t been around before that. That made no sense to me.

  “How does a pyrokinetic power work? I mean, Lillian doesn’t walk around with an incinerator to draw fire from, does she?”

  Ginny giggled, “No, she takes in heat from the world around her, and she can amplify that with her magic.”

  I stiffened, “Is it possible… that I can do that with electricity?”

  I’d honestly never even tried. After my magic had failed to do anything by itself that first time, when I hadn’t even a spark of electricity in me, I’d just assumed all I could do was control it. But amplification wasn’t quite the same as creating it from whole cloth. The only thing that made me question it now was my fear that I’d be defending my family with nothing but two car alternators in the battle ahead.
