The Powerful Pride of an Immortal (Immortal Supers Book 4) by Kurtis Eckstein (i want to read a book .TXT) 📕

was committed. She also pointed out that they shared some of the blame, in the sense that they allowed Lexi and Heidi to become so involved in our lives.

Not that they were implying they wished they hadn’t, but just that it wasn’t fair to expect me to ignore the two hot women being constantly flaunted in my face like the proverbial carrot on a stick.

However, once it finally settled in that this was really happening, I went from slightly aroused to extremely somber. Because they’d been through a lot to get us to this point, and I didn’t want either one of them to think I just wanted their bodies.

No, I’d have to talk to them myself about this and take our growing relationships slow, and entirely on their terms. If anything, I needed to resist any advances for a little bit, just to make sure they were fully confident they wanted to cross the point of no return.

However, it turned out, that was why they were upstairs in their rooms. They were waiting for me to come see them individually, to talk about the situation. But that had its own problems. If I went to go talk to Heidi first, then Lexi would no doubt think I truly had a preference for her younger sister, and I might end up with the same problem if I saw Lexi first.

Thus, I instead asked Lily to get them in the same room, so I could talk to them alone at the same time. That way I could clear up several potential issues, ranging from me liking them both equally to how it was going to work between the two of them.

Because they both seemed to understand how sharing me with Lily and Freya would work, but what about how they would handle sharing me between themselves? At the very least, I couldn’t imagine that most women would find it easy to share their boyfriend with their sister.

Once the three of us were alone in Lexi’s room, it was an awkward conversation for us all. And an important point that came up between them was not comparing themselves to each other. For example, if I eventually had sex with Heidi, then it was important Lexi not view herself as a failure because she couldn’t do that right now. Or if Lexi and I did intimate stuff that didn’t involve normal sex, then Heidi shouldn’t feel bad that we hadn’t even kissed yet.

Furthermore, if the relationships developed differently, where I became more intimate with one than the other, just in general, then they had to not compare and only focus on their own relationships specifically with me.

Definitely a lot of complicated stuff to talk about.

Heidi was especially nervous because she’d never done anything before, beyond watching videos of other people doing it, and did want to take it slow. Even just the idea of kissing got her flustered, despite how she sometimes talked, with a lot of her confidence being purely a façade. But I assured her that everything would be on her terms. I wouldn’t do anything unless she made it clear it was what she wanted, and if at any point she changed her mind, then I would immediately stop, no matter what we were doing.

That seemed to reassure them both – that they could take it at their own pace.

This was definitely what they wanted, but they were nervous about me having expectations for them. Nervous that I’d suddenly become someone who demanded my own needs take priority over theirs, which was basically who Blaze was to them, even though they never actually said that out loud. Therefore, after we were done talking, I did the one thing I knew they needed, but probably never expected.

I did the one thing I knew everyone needed.

I went downstairs, began cooking lunch, and pretended like nothing was different. Pretended like everything was exactly the same as it had been a few days ago. And, within about half an hour, once we were all sitting down at the kitchen table and socializing, the awkwardness and tension vanished completely.

It was business as usual. I showed Lily and Freya affection like usual, and I treated Lexi and Heidi exactly the same.

And I fully intended on treating everyone the same, until the day in the near future when either sister requested I take her on a date, or otherwise communicated she had a desire to move the relationship further than where it currently was.

Definitely not today though. After all, not even a full twenty-four hours had passed since an extremely traumatic event occurred.

It was crazy to even think that Freya and Lily decided to talk about it now. But I supposed that the relevance of the topic was why they didn’t wait to bring it up – because we would have avoided all this if Heidi was satisfied in her relationship with me.

And, in my opinion, while the day when our relationships progressed couldn’t come soon enough, I was also more than happy to patiently wait. If anything, letting this new arrangement be out in the open as our new reality, without anything actually changing, would give everyone time to truly feel comfortable about it and not feel rushed.

However, there was one thing I felt like needed to happen to fully solidify that nothing was different at this point.

Speaking generally to everyone, I voiced my concern.

Freya was sitting behind me with Eden in her arms in the recliner. Rose was right at her side focused on the baby. Lexi was sitting to my left next to Lily, and then Heidi was sitting at the other end of the table, facing me, as if she’d intentionally put as much physical distance between us as possible.

I cleared my throat, looking more in Lily and Lexi’s direction. “So, I kind of promised Heidi that I’d watch a movie or show with her, and that she’d get to choose.” I focused specifically on her, my expression apologetic. “I feel bad we
