know. I guess the idea of forever never crossed my mind. I hadn’t really thought that far ahead.”

“Forever might not be that long,” Red pointed out.

The quickly increasing beat of my heart went into overdrive. “I don’t need that reminder right now.”

Pucky beeped my nose. Actually beeped it.

“What was that?” I asked.

“That was to get you to calm down, to stop taking everything so seriously all of a sudden.” She laughed. “Hey, who in here just saw some titties?” She wiggled her breast in front of my face. “Eh?”

“You… you’ve seen Garden State?”

She grinned and nodded. “So… everyone calm down.”

“It’s not an exact quote,” I pointed out, now eyes focused on her breasts. To my surprise and relief, they were actually calming me down. “But I’ll take it.”

Red started dressing, handing me her red cloak to cover up. “We said forever, and that scared you. Well, here’s how it is—you’re the protector. You will be until you die. And we’re with you—so, what? You think you’ll want to ‘date’ other girls?”

“I…” Of course not, but I felt like I was walking into a trap and froze.

She pulled the cloak back, slightly. “You want other girls, after all of this?”

“No. Definitely not.”

“So, then…?”

I took the robe, sitting up and wrapping it around me. “I’d just never thought about it before. Yeah. Yes. I do.”

“What?” they both said at once.

“I mean, I want to be with you all forever,” I explained, having never been such a bumbling idiot as far back as I could remember. “What you’ve given me, the fact that each of you by yourselves is amazing, and as a whole… I mean, it’s more than I could ever hope so.”

“Forever?” Pucky asked, head tilted.

I nodded. “Forever.”

We might not have known each other long, but in the short amount of time I’d been with these ladies, we’d gone through more than most people would in a lifetime. Sure, Red could be a bit standoffish or emo at times, Pucky a bit clingy, Elisa a bit… posh? And now there was Sharon in the mix, and I didn’t even know what to make of Sekhmet and Bastet. There was excitement, and areas for us to work on. But looking at my life going forward, I couldn’t possibly imagine it any other way than with them.

“I’ll get Sharon, see if she wants to come in,” Red said, turning for the tent flaps.

“Red,” I whispered.

She turned, back, one eyebrow arched. I went to her, took her hands, and kissed her. Just a gentle caress of the lips at first, but then she was reciprocating, and we were kissing passionately. She even pushed me up against the ‘wall,’ forgetting we were in a tent, and we almost fell over.

Pucky was there to stabilize us, and as we were pulling apart I thought I heard Red whisper something.

“What was that?” I asked.

She opened her mouth, said, “I lo…” But then blushed, glancing down at my once again exposed cock. Up and ready to go. “I’ll let her know you’re ready.”

As she stepped out, grabbing my clothes to hang by the fire, I turned to Pucky and asked, “What was that?”

“All this talk,” Pucky said with a shrug. “Probably got her thinking, connecting with some emotional, caring side she tries to hide too often.”

I nodded, completely understanding that feeling at the moment. My emotions were swelling about as much as the blood to my crotch.

Red moved close to me, waving her hips as if about to rub herself on my leg. “I can be playful, fun. Caring.”

A surge of desire ran through me.

“Don’t leave me like this,” I said, reaching for her hand, trying to put it back on my cock.

Red slapped my wrist, playfully. “Nu-uh, big guy. You need to have something left over for the new girl.”

The idea of Sharon bringing me to orgasm? Okay, no complaints there.

Pucky, for her part, grinned, ran a hand up my chest, and then gave me a little slap. Light, playful. “You treat her nicely, okay? If I hear you were too rough with her…”

“You’ll punish me?”

She laughed. “I’ll be mad you weren’t so rough with me.”

“Oh, shit.” She smiled, bent over to put on her pants in a way that gave me a perfect view of her ass and pussy, then looked over, laughed, and stood to pull the pants on the rest of the way. “Enjoy.”

She was out, still putting on her shirt.

Red wrapped her robe around me and licked my ear. I pulled away because it tickled, and she grinned.

“Gotta keep you warm,” she said, referring to the robe. “Plus, you’ll want to give her a present to open.”

I grabbed her by the waist, pulling her in for a quick kiss. Her tongue was warm, soft.

“Seriously, I don’t know how you keep it up this long.”

“If you were with you, you’d understand.”

Her head tilted, she scrunched her nose, then nodded. “Confusing, but yes. Okay. I have an everlasting clit boner for you too.”

With that weird imagery, she left me alone in the tent, cloak wrapped over my shoulders, waiting on Sharon.

There was a rustling and Sharon poked her head in. “Oh, you’re…” Her eyes were on me, nude and exposed.

I pulled the robe around myself. “Sorry for that.”

Her eyes rose to meet mine, her lip curling up.

“What?” I asked.

“Remember… remember how we first met?”

I laughed. “How could I not?”

Instantly, her cheeks were red, her eyes cast down. “I… I’m sorry.”

“No, come on.” I scooted closer, a hand on hers. “Don’t be like that. You’ve changed. I’ve changed. We… we’re together now.”

Her eyes rose to meet mine again. “Specifically, I was talking about the staircase. How… maybe, I would’ve liked to finish that.”

“Oh.” My eyes went wide as blood rushed south. There was no doubt in my mind what she was referring to, especially when she suddenly switched gears, pushing me back playfully, then reaching behind me, moving the robe aside so I was exposed, and pausing.

“Say the word,” she said, finger ever so gently
