She giggled, and I blushed again.

  “Regardless, those are just examples and suggestions, the gift is yours to use, we know you will not abuse it.”

  I caressed her face softly, and she smiled and started to ride me much more vigorously, slamming her hips down on me and impaling herself. The delighted and naughty look in her eyes begged me for my sperm, and one last load in her before our night ended.

  I was swept away by the bliss and still filling my goddess with the last few pulses, as I woke up to Bonnie blowing me awake while my other two mates were already in a sixty-nine next to us. It was a hell of a way to wake up, and my Bonnie looked lost in transcendent contentment, as she slowly stroked my cock and suckled the tip lovingly. She truly looked transported into bliss, and like there’s nowhere else she’d rather be than with her lips wrapped around my cock.

  It wasn’t just sexual with her, her blowjobs seemed to center her and calm her like nothing else could, and it was also a form of loving service, as well as a deep comforting act for her. It was… wild. Needless to say, our morning reprise was as wild as our foursome the night before, if a lot shorter before breakfast called.

  I also used my enhanced inspiration blessing to make it easier for Maggie and Elena to broaden their competency in magic from the body and water manipulation, respectively. They’d still have to work hard with Bonnie to make it happen, but once they got it it’d feel a lot more natural and easier to get into the right mindset.

  The thought of using it for something else occurred to me, but they were already mind-blowing and remarkably talented fucks at the art of lovemaking, they were the best I’d ever had, and doing that would’ve been a selfish act for my own pleasure anyway, while the former was merely a gift. So, I dismissed the idea as fast as it’d occurred to me.

  The rest of the morning was typical, breakfast, followed by the third day of my more enhanced and complicated training, then our workout. After that, we all piled into the new Cadillac CT6-V and headed to the airport. It was time to deal with Bonnie’s demigod stalker once and for all.

  The plane was more luxurious than I’d imagined. Comfortable and ergonomic leather chairs, light wood paneling, cabinets, and table, with the even lighter brown carpet. The four of us sat around the table, Bonnie next to me caressing my leg absently in a rather distracting way as we sipped coffee and chatted.

  Bonnie was in tight black jean shorts and a red top that was extremely thin. The shirt had sleeves, but the sleeves and much of the actual shirt was sheer, only the slightly more opaque areas around her breasts maintained any degree of modesty, and it was still sheer enough that I could see her red lingerie bra under it in direct sunlight if I looked closely enough. She was absolutely stunning in it, and she also had on bright red calf high boots with three-inch heels, which both made her exactly my height and did amazing things for her already amazing legs and tight pear-shaped ass.

  My curvaceously light brown eyed beauty was wearing a casual flowing and thin black skirt that went down to just past her lower thigh, and a warm yellow sleeveless blouse. It was sexy, but rather conservative, save the fact it revealed about three fourths of her delightfully generous C cup cleavage.

  My exotically petite sexpot had on a casual white sundress with flower designs on it. It would have looked wholesome on her, if it wasn’t scandalously tight around the bodice, snugly hugging every delicious curve of her body until the loose skirt fell down to her mid-thigh. It also showed her B cup cleavage to advantage.

  Maggie asked, “We should be there soon, plan?”

  “Kill everything and destroy the base?”

  Elena snickered, “That’s a list of goals, not a plan.”

  I nodded, “Alright. Maggie, you’re in charge of blowing up ordinance. You seem good at that, and it means not facing demigods or monsters. I imagine that will also satisfy our destroy the compound objective, or close enough.”

  Maggie smiled, “Yes, sir.”

  “Elena, you can focus on any monsters, right now there are two loose in the compound, Taura. If that changes and more are let out for some reason before we arrive then I’ll let you know.”

  She nodded, “I can do that, they’re tough as hell, but they need to breathe like anyone else… and it’s hard to breath when your lungs are full of water.”

  I grinned, “Bonnie, you’ll watch all our backs and step in to help us if we get in trouble.”

  Bonnie bit her lip with a guilty look on her face, “I…”

  I interrupted, “If I have my way, you’ll never take a life again, my love. You’re a lover, not a killer, and it’d be a shame if that ever changed. But I know you’ll step in if we get over our heads, and overwatch is an extremely important tactical responsibility. We all need your brightness, baby.”

  She kissed me softly, her eyes shimmering with unshed tears, “I love you, sir. Thank you.”

  Elena said, “I agree. Your true strength lies elsewhere.”

  Bonnie gave Elena a grateful look.

  I nodded, “That leaves the team currently on station and Carmine for me. I’ll do my best to knock out the witches and humans on the team, but I can’t afford to fuck around or take chances with Carmine and the other demigod of Ares. Chances are with their squad leader down and their company commander out of the picture they will stand down and not pursue it further.”

  Maggie said, “Agreed.”

  Bonnie nodded and squeezed my thigh lightly, while Elena said, “You can’t do less, they started it, we need to finish it, or they will.”

  “Do we have a car?”

  Maggie nodded, “A black SUV will be dropped off when we land, don’t forget to shield it.”

  I laughed, “Count on it, we’re already shielded.”

  Of course, they already all knew that. I was the only one blind to magic, and that could only discern power use. They could feel both just fine.

  Maggie tilted her head, “So, question?”

  “Shoot.”

  Maggie smiled warmly, “When you went to see Jackie, did you keep an eye on me and Bonnie while you were gone, listen in and watch?”

  I shook my head, “I’m not going to spy on my mates.”

  Bonnie sighed, and Maggie’s face looked disappointed.

  I laughed, “I take it that’s not what you wanted to hear?”

  Bonnie blushed, and Maggie said, “Well, we kind of got a little wild, on the idea you could be watching us. We’re both exhibitionists, for our mates if no one else anymore.”

  Oh.

  “In that case, I’ll be sure to keep a close eye on the both of you, next time.”

  They both blushed and grinned, and I just shook my head. Women were a mystery.

  I asked, “How about that third demigoddess, anything?”

  Maggie shook her head, “Not yet. Do we all still want a fourth mate, five of us in total?”

  Bonnie’s smile told me the more the merrier, as far as our core family.

  Elena said, “I haven’t changed my mind, assuming she’s compatible and ever shows up.”

  I shrugged, “I can’t imagine needing more, but it’s not about that. Bonnie enriched our lives four days ago in ways I never would’ve imagined, so I’m still open for one more.”

  Maggie said, “Me either, just checking.”

  Bonnie licked her lips.

  Elena cackled, “Go ahead, suck his dick.”

  Bonnie blushed and looked questioningly at Elena.

  Elena explained, “I see the same look on Maggie’s face all the time when he casually drops one of his spontaneous panty-dropping compliments like candy.”

  Bonnie giggled, unbuckled her seatbelt, and got under the table.

  Maggie helpfully supplied, “Twenty minutes.”

  Bonnie just moaned deeply in acknowledgement, already sucking me off with her bright icy blue eyes looking up at me with devotion. It was only a moment later when the other two were moaning, kissing, and playing across from us.

  The sex was crazy, but I’d complain exactly never.

  Maggie’s heads up on our arrival time was helpful, in that Bonnie adjusted her luxuriously loving blow job’s ending to coincide with our landing. Happily sucking me off and pleasuring me for as long as she could. That didn’t leave me any time to return the favor, which I very badly wished to do, but I made myself a promise to eat my golden blonde’s tight little ass and fingerbang her until she screamed my name on the return trip.

  We deplaned, and as promised a black SUV with the keys already in it was waiting for us, my Maggie was incredible at all the little details like that.

  She really seemed to like Cadillacs too, because it was a fully loaded two thousand nineteen Escalade that we all got in. I went ahead and summoned six more dead, and I set up a double shield around the vehicle. I thought one soul might be enough. It would be for small arms fire, and to keep the power drain down I reversed the concept of our personal shields. The single layer was on the outside, so it would take less power to absorb and deflect a bullet or small explosion than a five-shield soul would.

  I could do that with our personal shields as well, but if the outer shield broke on our personal shields, then I’d have to move us with the five-soul shield. Unlike the car, the point of the one soul inner shield was merely for flying and movement, not protection like on the car.

  Of course, that thought did lead to another innovation of sorts, as I added a single soul for a third layer on the outside of our shields. Inner soul was for movement, outer soul was to take hits, middle five soul shield to absorb truly mighty attacks by a monster or demigod who would no doubt destroy the outer shield in a single blow.

  It was all power management, and every little bit helped and would help me to stay in a fight longer.

  They say in war a plan doesn’t survive contact with the enemy. Sometimes in war plans don’t even last that long, as my spy popped in to report.

  “Shit. They may have eyes on the airport or something. Regardless, they know we’re here in L.A. Carmine just gave orders to release ten monsters in total, man the fifty caliber guns, and set up a couple of sniper positions. The squad just literally became a lot more dangerous. Two snipers, two on fifty caliber emplacements, and the other four will be wielding smaller arms machine guns and running two monsters each.”

  “Ten monsters? That’s only eight.”

  I nodded, “The two Taura will be with Carmine himself.”

  Maggie said, “I can detonate their ammunition one at a time, but they’ll all die now.”

  Bonnie sighed, but then nodded firmly in the backseat, “Do what we have to, Carmine left us with no choice.”

  I shook my head, “I should be able to knock them all out with the flat of my blade before we breach, the snipers and machine gun nests anyway. Not sure about the ones with monsters, so we might save half the team’s lives.”

  Bonnie shot me a grateful look, saving half the team from their leader’s selfish insanity was better than none. That said, I would only indulge in mercy until the second that one of my mates were put at risk of harm. If I had to, I’d kill every one of them and not lose a wink of sleep.

  But only if I had to.

  When we were about a quarter mile from the compound, we pulled over and got out of the Escalade. No reason to drain myself protecting a vehicle if they weren’t going to hit us mid-travel. Still, I left the shields on there, they wouldn’t hurt anything or drain me unless someone tried to damage the car.

  I could already see and hear in the compound with my dead spy, so I passed along to the ladies what the setup was.

  The compound had a small ten-foot privacy wall, and green painted metal gates at the entrance. The two snipers were on the rooves of two different buildings, while the M60s were mounted on the back of two jeeps they set up for a good crossfire at the entrance. The two Taura flanked Carmine while the other four members of the team stood in front of them, with rifles raised. Each one flanked by two different monsters.

  There were two more of those air nymphs with steel tipped feathers and silver beaks on hawk like faces with long deadly claws. Also a couple of men who were snakes from the waist down with wicked fangs that gleamed with poison, two huge lions with thick manes and wings, and the last two were gorgons with bows. Not just a snake tail for lower body, but snakes for hair, and glowing eyes.

  Bonnie said, “Those last two aren’t really monsters. They’re creatures that used to be human. Probably two of Ares children that pissed him off, weren’t willing to be breeding toys and fighting soldiers. Don’t worry about being turned to stone, I can protect us from that, but their arrows will hit really hard, and no doubt be covered in venom and power.”

  “Good to know.”

  Bonnie winked.

  We were getting close, “Alright, time to thin the herd.”

  I had my spy move behind a sniper, then turned him into a blade. It was almost too easy. The guy was looking through his scope at us, when I flattened him with a sharp slap of the blade on his head. Then I took out the second one.

  One of the gorgons must’ve sensed something wrong, because they cried in alarm as the blade headed for the first nest. One of them drew and fired so fast all I saw was a blur, and my single soul sword shattered and returned to spirit form, but not before I knocked out one of the machine gun nests.

  “Baby, get the door?” I asked calmly, as the five-soul sword with me shot off in blur. The gorgon hit that one too, and it was a mild drain, but nothing too bad as it knocked out the second machine nest gunner.

  Bonnie waved a hand and the gate slid open with a metallic ping and a loud metallic crash.

  They all opened fire save two who ran for the now empty machine gun nests. It was a steady but slow drain on my power. I knocked out the two soldiers really fast, since they’d left their monsters there’d been no one to defend them against my attack, so that was six of the eight down for the count, which was better than only half.

  The next few moments were pure pandemonium. Maggie was blowing shit up left and right. My Elena went for the snakes and gorgons first and looked to have it well in hand with her water magic, so I focused on the others.

  I decided maybe I could save all seven of the humans or witches on the team, it made more sense to go after the charging snakes and air nymphs anyway, than to take down the small arms machine guns that hardly hurt my shield at all. My blade exploded through the head of the first lion. The second lion lunged and attacked, as did the two air nymphs.

  I had no strength of body, but my strength of mind was considerable as my shield shifted to block the lion’s paw swipe, then shield bashed the lion so hard its head was crushed as its skull cracked. It flew back so fast and hard that Carmine had to actually move to prevent being hit by the corpse.

  It’d taken a lot of power to hit it that hard, almost four percent, but it’d been worth it.

  The two air nymphs hit hard with somewhat of a free shot, but my armor and the armor around Elena held just fine, though a surge of power left me to maintain them.

  By then my blade was coming back in a wicked spin. The first nymph it hit lost her head altogether, while the second nymph lost half her arm and three quarters of her wings. The two Taura hadn’t attacked yet, Carmine was playing defense for himself and his large guards. Which was a mistake, fucking bully coward.

  The blade arced back around forward, and the second nymph dove and managed to avoid death a second time, but she lost her other claw in payment.

  Elena’s water had finished off the gorgons and snake men, and I dismissed the brutally wounded air nymph as Elena’s water finished it off. Instead, I used my blade’s forward momentum and the flat of it to knock out the last witch on the team. Seven down but alive, out of eight. The best I could do really.

  Our only opponents left were the two demigods and two Taura, and I was sitting pretty at about seventy five percent power left. The only damage I was taking currently was from Carmine’s and the team lead’s M16s. I was fairly sure I was recovering as much power as those weapons were taking.

  The compound was an absolute wreck around us, and my ears were ringing from the battle and explosions, as my heart pounded in my chest. There were two exploded helicopters, several jeeps and deuce and a half trucks, as well as their ammo depot going up in a mini-mushroom cloud explosion. My Maggie was a very busy girl.

  I created a second five soul blade, and I launched it at the team lead demigod.

  It was a little funny, because his face twisted in absolute contempt, as he parried it so hard, just like Dane had back at the house. It drained a good two percent of my power. The sons and daughters of Ares were strong bastards. Except, the fucking idiot had forgotten about the original blade, which slammed into his back, cut through his spine, and impaled his heart as it exploded out of his chest.

  I shook my head as the idiot fell to his knees, and the light went out of his eyes before he fell on his face.

  Elena shot two streams of water each at the Taura, it wasn’t long before they were choking and trying to breath, then the ice froze, and when it exploded so did the Taura’s bodies.

  I looked over, and Elena shrugged, “Bodies are made of water, you know. It just takes a bridge of sorts before I can access it directly.”

  There was a temptation to gloat, or lecture the asshole on his foolishness, but the former would only harm my soul and the latter would be lost on the selfish prick who thought he could control my mate. Fucker.

  I shot both blades at him from flanking angles, but the bastard pulled his sword and gun, and deflected both. Then he shot fire at us. Who knew? I mean, I guess I knew Ares could throw fire around, but I had no idea some of his kids could do it too.

  The whole world disappeared in flames, and when the explosion started to clear I saw Carmine’s sword lunging for my throat, just three feet away. My mind flattened me, as I fell back at high speed, using the shield to speed up my descent and went horizontal an inch above the ground, a split second later my three mates shot up into the sky.

  The sword blade barely missed, but his offhand dropped a fireball over me that licked at and drained my shield. I shot away feet first and then into the air, but the bastard managed to hit me with another fireball, and my shield held but was draining fast. I was already somewhere around sixty percent.
