Harem House – Selene Pt. 18

An adult stories – Harem House – Selene Pt. 18 by SirAeghann,SirAeghann Tuesday morning announced itself with a relentless beeping noise from her phone. Katerine didn’t even have to open her eyes. She rolled over, pressed the button on the side of her phone, and sighed. It was time to get up. She knew it was time. She did not, at that exact moment, care. Still, she opened her eyes. Once they were open, it was all over. Her brain would wake up if she read anything and tell her it was time to start the day. She looked at her phone and read the notifications there.

Selene:

Heyyyy, can you come over to Arthur’s with some clothes? I forgot to grab some again. Kthanxluvu!

Kat closed her eyes and took a deep breath. She sat up and threw the covers off. Her room was clean and orderly, well-organized, like most things in her life. It kept her relaxed and kept her from guilting herself over slacking off. Her sister, on the other hand, was chaos incarnate. Especially now that she’d started hooking up with Arthur, the boy next door, or in their case, the Master across the parking lot.

A lot had changed in the last week when Arthur, Kat, and Selene were concerned, and Kat wasn’t entirely sure it was a good thing. Still, she liked it. Needed it. Craved it. Even now, she could feel the warmth between her legs at the thought of Arthur, his hot naked body, the sparkle in his eye as he told her to kneel. She bit her lip unconsciously and swallowed, then shook it off as she swung her feet over the side of the bed.

Her bedroom was a small rectangular room in their two-bedroom apartment, slightly larger than Selene’s. Whereas Selene had posters on her walls, Kat had bookshelves. Her small single bed was on the far right side of the room, with its head against the wall and a nightstand beside it. Half-wall bookshelves covered the far wall from the door, which had the only windows to the outside above them, small and rectangular since their apartment was underground level. It would be nice to have full-sized windows soon.

She wore a loose white cami top and pink booty-cut pajama shorts. She liked how she looked in them and turned as she stood in front of the mirror to show off her leg and booty. She smirked and nodded at herself. She had the hips and ass her sister Selene wished she had, and probably the breasts too. Selene had the flatter stomach, legs, and muscle tone Kat wished she had, so it all evened out, she supposed. Still, Kat appreciated what she had. Or at least, she tried to. Arthur made it a little easier sometimes. Something she was grateful to him for, even if she didn’t want to explain it to him.

She blew some of her short blonde curls out of her face as she looked in the mirror and stretched off the sleep she’d been under all night. Duty called or texted since this wasn’t the 90s. She checked the time to ensure she had enough of it. She wanted to get dressed and ready for the day before she saw Arthur again. She had plenty of time and shuffled into the kitchen after slipping on her fuzzy pink slippers. She set and turned on the coffee pot to brew and then shuffled into the bathroom to prepare for the day.

The shower water was hot and scalding, like she liked it, and the scrubbing felt almost therapeutic. She closed her eyes and pictured Arthur again, rubbing, even groping herself slightly. Tonight was her night. They’d scheduled their little bondage session, and she would submit to her Sir tonight without Selene and the other harem members. Playing around with Selene was hot, but there was something special about having Arthur all to herself, even if just for a night or a session.

It was still a little insane to Kat. Her name wasn’t attached to it yet that she knew, but the word was spreading through campus that Arthur was dating five women simultaneously and consensually. The video of Rani striking Sanjay in the nuts had made the rounds. She was still anxious about that. She knew what Rani and Mindy had said, that security recognized it was self-defense, but Kat knew this wasn’t the last any of them had heard about it. There would be consequences, repercussions, and more to the story eventually.

Though, it had the potential to be overshadowed by Arthur dating multiple women. It was funny that this wasn’t the kinkiest or weirdest thing about Arthur or the girls he was dating, even if the campus didn’t know it. Hopefully, they wouldn’t ever find out. Though, Kat had to admit she felt a little proud to be part of the harem. They were a good group of girls, and for all her efforts over the years, she’d never really been that good at making friends other than Selene. Even then, she and Selene were only friends now that they’d grown up and moved out of their mother’s house.

Thinking of her mother killed whatever pleasure she had in her mood, and she moved her hands back to their perfunctory shower tasks with a sigh. Blow drying and crimping her hair after the shower took some time, but it had only been about forty minutes from the text, and Kat knew Selene didn’t have to be at work for a while yet. She wasn’t sure about Mindy’s schedule, but she knew Arthur was probably still out for his run if his gaggle of girls hadn’t kept him in bed first. Men liked good-morning blowjobs, right? And with Arthur, that probably took a while, even with Mindy, Selene, and Rani all looking up at him from their knees.

Kat rechecked her phone.

Selene:

And can you bring eggs? Maybe the bagels too? Master really needs to go grocery shopping.

Kat smirked. Arthur had been swamped with all the women he was dating. It wasn’t like he’d had time to restock the fridge, and with Selene cooking him breakfast all the time, it was only a matter of time before he started running out of things. Kat threw a dozen eggs, a sleeve of bagels, and a jar of peanut butter into one of the reusable shopping bags they kept in the kitchen. She poured herself a cup of coffee and started drinking it. Then she shuffled back into her bedroom to get dressed.

It took her longer than expected to pick out her clothes for the day. She always dressed professionally, and her wardrobe didn’t have a lot of variation because of it. Gray, white, black, and pink were the spectrum of her clothes. She liked pink, and she refused to apologize for it. She did not think that professionalism or powerful confidence had to deny femininity. Then again, maybe she’d seen Legally Blonde at too impressionable an age.

The cuts of the many blouses differed, as did some of the blazers, skirts, or pants she wore. Still, she knew she’d see Arthur and then see him again tonight. She might even play a little when she visited this morning if he wanted to. She liked the idea of him having Selene, Rani, and Mindy over there and still wanting her when she came through the door in something sexy and cute.

Eventually, she decided to forgo the jacket and wore a pink blouse that showed off some of her cleavage, not much, but enough. Its V-cut neckline came to the middle of her round breasts, pushed up and together as they were by the lacey bra she wore. She knew Arthur liked lingerie, so she planned to wear some and see his reaction. Kat felt she needed every advantage she could get if it was just him and her tonight.

Kat tucked that blouse into a knee-length gray and black plaid pleated skirt. It wasn’t quite a schoolgirl skirt; it was too modest and demure for that, coming to the bottom of her knees. It had fewer pleats. Yet, it was still playful when she walked or spun, and she imagined she could tease him a bit if she wanted to. Beneath it, she wore a lacy pair of boy-short panties to match her bra. Both were red lace from her and Selene’s little excursion on Sunday while Arthur was on his date with Mindy.

They should have spent time studying, but Selene had been awfully convincing. She always was. She knew how to talk Kat into many things that had gotten her into trouble over the years. This whole experiment with Arthur was probably no different. She was sure it would all blow up in their faces eventually. Still, she had to admit, it would be fun while it lasted. There was something liberating about casual sex, and it had definitely improved her mood and outlook over the last few days.

Kat finished putting on the thigh-high stockings beneath the skirt and slipped on a pair of heels. They weren’t very tall, but tall enough to put her even with Selene in a lineup. The heels were pink to match her blouse. She checked herself in the mirror and smirked. She thought she looked cute and felt sexy, knowing what she had on under what was a modest ensemble by college standards.

She rechecked her phone.

Selene:

And can you bring towels? We need clean towels.

Kat sighed. She grabbed a duffel bag, shoved some towels in, and then went into Selene’s room and emptied her dresser drawers into it. They had to start packing soon if they were going to move into Arthur’s parent’s house. God, she was looking forward to living there. She’d always dreamed of living in a place like that, and even if it was just renting out the bedroom she’d have to share with her slob of a sister, it’d be good. Selene probably wouldn’t spend most nights in their bedroom anyway. She’d probably be in Arthur’s bed any night she could be, or sleeping at the foot of it or something like his pet.

She rolled her eyes at the thought of it as she pushed a dress or two from the closet into the duffel and closed it up, nearly bursting. Sure, she was looking forward to trying rope bondage with Arthur that night, but she didn’t share many of her sister’s kinks. Arthur better treat her like a princess, not a goddamn pet or toy. She wasn’t Selene. He had to know that, right?

When she was done in Selene’s bedroom, she entered their kitchen and grabbed the reusable shopping bag she’d packed earlier. She felt overladen when she walked out of her apartment with her bookbag, the duffel, and the reusable shopping bag full of eggs, peanut butter, and bagels. Still, she locked up behind her and trudged across the parking lot to Arthur’s building.

The climb up the stairs was more difficult than expected with everything she was carrying, but she made it. She knocked on Arthur’s door and waited as she heard movement behind it. Then she heard Mindy’s voice.

“Oh, it’s just Kat.” She said, and the door swung open to let her in.

“Good morning to you too.” Kat frowned as she crossed the threshold into Arthur’s rectangular living room. Everything still seemed in its place, so they hadn’t totally wrecked the apartment last night. Her pink unmistakable BDSM collar with the stainless steel ring in its center still hung on the wall to the right of the door. To the left, the sofa and coffee table were pushed further apart than usual but were more or less where they should be. The television on the far wall was off, and the bathroom door to the right of it was closed, with the shower running behind it. The entrance to Arthur’s bedroom on the right was open, while the door to his study, the second bedroom that matched Kat’s in shape and size, was closed. The kitchen on the other side of the open wall to the left of the TV and behind it was also noisy.

“I didn’t mean it like that.” Mindy smirked and took the duffel from Kat’s shoulder with a grunt when the total weight of it hit. “Oof. What did you pack in here?”

Now that the door was closed and Mindy was out from behind it, Kat could see she was wearing nothing except the black collar around her throat with the word “WHORE” in rhinestones. Her breasts were irritatingly perky for someone with breasts so large, but Kat didn’t say anything other than answer her question.

“Towels.” Kat smirked. “And some clothing options for Selene.”

“Oh. Well, good, we need towels. And Selene can’t exactly go to work in what she’s wearing.” Mindy smirked.

“Where is she anyway?” Kat asked, looking around for her. “And Rani and Arthur?”

“Arthur’s out for his run.” Mindy gestured to the closed door behind them. “Queenie’s in the shower.” She said as she set the bag down and unzipped it, searching for a towel. Kat knew that Queenie meant Rani. “She’ll need a towel when she gets out.” Mindy explained. “All of Arthur’s are dirty. Apparently, we’ve been going through them, and he hasn’t had a chance to wash them.” She explained. “And Slut’s in the kitchen.” She said, using Selene’s harem name, the nickname she preferred Arthur to call her, and the name she’d chosen as her contact in the harem chat.

Kat did her best not to roll her eyes. Her sister’s kinks were her own. She did her best not to judge or condemn her for them. That still didn’t mean it was always easy. Why she liked being degraded so much was beyond Kat. She also enjoyed the power play between dominance and submission, but it wasn’t fun if it was easy.

“Well, I brought some food too.” Kat said, hoisting up the reusable shopping bag with her left hand.

“Oh good!” Selene called from the kitchen. It was only a second before she turned the corner, and Kat looked quite surprised.

Selene’s long blonde hair was usually tied back into a single braid, but now she had drawn it into two high ponytails that arced off the top sides of her head and fell back over her shoulders in two long braided ropes of hair. That was unusual enough, but she also wore a pair of pink fuzzy cat ears, and behind her, Kat could see a long, thin, slightly curved cat tail that hovered a few inches above the floor and must have plugged into Selene’s butt because she was naked except the two collars banded around her throat, the thin brown leather one Kat recognized and a new black one like Mindy’s but with the title SLUT instead of WHORE.

She took the shopping bag from Kat with a smirk, then turned around and returned to the kitchen without a thank you.

“You’re welcome.” Kat called after her. She slung the book bag off her shoulder and let it drop to the couch, where she sat.

“Do you want your collar?” Mindy asked, pointing to the collar hanging by the door.

“I’m good.” Kat waved her off. “Tonight’s my night with him, so I’m saving it for then.”

Mindy smirked. “Have fun. I promise we’ll let him recharge for you.” She winked.

Kat scoffed. “Did the three of you run him ragged last night? How was that?”

“It was awesome!” Selene called from the kitchen.

“It was a lot of fun.” Mindy smirked. “Every time I sleep with Arthur, I feel like it’s the best sex I’ve ever had.”

Kat scoffed. “Well, you’re young.”

Mindy arched an eyebrow at her. “You’ve had better?” She asked.

“Well… no.” Kat admitted. “But I’m sure he’s not the only Casanova on campus.” Kat smirked. “Even if he’s the only one Selene’s crazy about.”

Mindy smirked and shrugged, which Kat couldn’t help but notice made certain things jiggle. She took the towel and disappeared into the bathroom, which Rani had obviously left unlocked. Kat sighed and moved off the couch and to the kitchen table, where she could see Selene cooking the eggs she’d brought while simultaneously eating a dry bagel.

“Hungry?” Selene asked. “Want some eggs?”

“Sure.” Kat shrugged. “I’ll take mine fried and on a bagel if you’re serving.”

Selene giggled as though Kat had said something funny but nodded and started a second frying pan with some butter.

“So… how did everything go last night?” Kat asked. “Did you three- four? Have fun?”

“We did.” Selene smirked. “Arthur and I had some one-on-one time after the theater club, then picked up Rani and Mindy on our way back.” She smirked and told Kat about the rest of the evening in summary, but with enough detail to make Kat squirm a little in her chair. Whenever Selene recounted her activities with Arthur, she made it sound as hot as if Kat was watching a porno of it happen. Kat closed her eyes at one point and then shot them open.

“You went down on Rani?” She asked, surprised. “I-” Kat hesitated. “Are you bi now?”

Selene shrugged. “Not really?” She had thought about it since last night, but not enough to come to a determined stance about it. “I guess I’m just… open to new experiences.” She smirked. “I don’t think I’d be sexually attracted to girls if Arthur wasn’t there, fucking them. But it was so hot, Kat. The way he looked at me as he fucked the shit out of Mindy. The way he moaned when the three of us made out over his cock. It was…” Selene squeezed her thighs together and closed her eyes. “I’m getting hot just thinking about it right now.”

Kat frowned but did her best not to. Her sister was a slut. An annoying ethical slut sometimes, but still a slut. She knew there shouldn’t be any shame attached to that. It was fine that she enjoyed it, was “open” to new experiences, and didn’t seem to have any reservations about pulling Arthur’s cock out and going to town on it or crawling between Rani’s legs and shoving her tongue up her folds.

Yet, that wasn’t how they were raised, and Kat was doing her best here, but it was a lot to process. Teasing Arthur, and even fucking him, was one thing. That was normal, even. Teasing him with Selene, and the two of them having him simultaneously but drawing the line at doing anything to each other, was pushing it. Having him with other women, doing things with those other women? Kat wasn’t sure she liked that idea. She didn’t want Mindy or Rani expecting her to go down on them or trying to go down on her.

“Just because I did something doesn’t mean Master will expect you to.” Selene said.

Kat frowned deeper. She hated that Selene could read her so well by just her expression. “How do you know?” Kat asked. “You’re not exactly a mind reader when it comes to him, are you?”

Selene smirked. “Because he’s not like that. He treats each of us differently, at our own pace, remember?” Selene asked. “Now, do you want breakfast before or after Master returns?”

“Before.” Kat snipped. “I’m hungry.”

“Yes, Mistress.” Selene smirked.

“Don’t call me that!” Kat was surprised to hear herself shouting.

Selene looked apologetic. “I’m sorry. I was only teasing, Kat.” She held up her hands in apology.

“You two okay in here?” Rani asked as she came in. Her hair was still wet but drying. She had one of their towels, the rubber duckies on it, wrapped around her from the peak of her breasts to the top of her thighs, the side split to reveal the front of her hip every time she stepped.

“We’re fine.” Kat said with a sigh. “Good morning, Rani.”

“Good morning.” Rani yawned. “Is there coffee?”

“There is not.” Selene spoke up. “Arthur’s not big on coffee. He doesn’t have a coffee maker.”

“Fuck me.” Rani sighed. “You should make sure there’s a coffee pot at that house you’re getting. Or I’m not sleeping over anymore. Hell, he should get one for here, or I’m not sleeping over anymore.”

“Kinda cranky without coffee, huh?” Selene asked. “You’re like Kat.”

“You have coffee?” Rani asked, clearly interested.

“I drank it already before I came over.” Kat explained with a wave of her hand. “I knew there wouldn’t be any over here.”

Rani pouted, then yawned and stretched before sighing. “Are we doing the ‘welcome back, Master’ thing, or can I get dressed?” She asked Selene.

“What welcome back, Master thing?” Kat asked.

Rani looked at Selene instead of answering, who gave Kat a shit-eating grin.

“I thought maybe we could all kneel in a lineup by the door and offer him blowjobs on his way to the shower.” Selene said.

“After his run?” Kat made a face that showed how disgusting she found that thought. “I’m out.”

Rani shook her head after thinking about Kat’s reaction for a second. “Yeah, me too.” She chimed in. “After his shower, fine.” She shrugged and readjusted the towel as it slipped because of the gesture.

Selene stuck her tongue out at Kat, who rolled her eyes in response.

“Save some of him for me tonight, will you?” Kat asked, exasperated. “You three had your fun. Tonight’s my night. I don’t want him all tired and running on empty. I want him ready and able to… you know.”

“Take you firmly in hand and fuck you like you owe him money?” Selene suggested with a coy tone to her voice.

Rani smirked, Kat didn’t answer, but she smiled slightly too. There was truth in what Selene said, and she wouldn’t waste time denying it. It still felt weird to talk so openly about all of this. With Selene was one thing. They were sisters. But she didn’t know Rani, or even Mindy, all that well. She wasn’t as comfortable with them, but Selene acted as if they’d all been sisters and grown up together over the years.

“Mindy would do it with me.” Selene teased them.

“Probably.” Rani admitted. “I think there’s something a little off with her. She’s really eager to please Arthur.”

“There’s probably something a little off with all of us, sharing a boyfriend and all.” Kat suggested.

“It’s probably true.” Selene scoffed. “But who cares? We’re having fun. And it’s hot as hell.”

Rani scoffed this time. “You’re just riding that high, huh?” She turned to Kat. “Arthur and Selene exchanged I-love-yous last night. She’s been riding high ever since.”

“I’m sorry?” Kat turned to stare at Selene, who blushed and fixed her attention on the frying pans in front of her. “When did that happen?”

“Last night, when we were all getting out of the car. Kind of awkward timing, really. Hardly as romantic as I think either of them thought it. Three stars. Should have been just the two of them, really.” Rani sighed. “And in a much more romantic setting.”

“I didn’t want it to be just the two of us last night. I wanted to watch him fuck someone, and I wanted to… experiment a little. Besides, I didn’t hear any complaints last night.” Selene shook her head.

“Well, you certainly did all of that.” Rani shrugged again and started looking around. “I’m gonna go get dressed for the day. If Arthur’s not back soon, can I bum a ride from one of you? I need to get to campus eventually.”

“Sure.” Kat nodded. “But he should be back any minute now.” She glanced up at the clock on the wall.

Rani nodded and headed toward the bedroom where she and Mindy had stashed their bags. The shower water stopped soon after, and when Mindy and Rani came back into the living room dressed and ready to do their makeup, Arthur was just coming in the front door.

Kat looked up from her plate of eggs and nearly yelped as Selene sprinted past them and knelt in front of the door. Mindy, either still wearing her collar or wearing it again, knelt on the other side of him, fully dressed. Kat scoffed, and Rani just smirked at him.

“Good run?” Rani asked, eyeing the sweat stains all over his shirt that had melded into one large one.

Arthur nodded. He’d clearly pushed himself a little.

“Morning Kat.” Arthur nodded to her. “Morning Rani. Hello, again Slut, Whore.” He patted their heads as he passed them. “I’m gonna shower quick as I can, and I’ll be out.”

“Do you want some breakfast, Master? Or should I join you in the shower?” Selene asked.

“You showered already.” Rani pointed out to Selene, who shrugged. “We’ve been taking turns in your shower; hope you don’t mind.” She explained to Arthur.

“I don’t mind.” Arthur shook his head. “A cold shower is probably good for me after that run anyway.” He smirked. “I just don’t think I have enough towels…” He hesitated.

“Kat brought some towels from our place.” Selene explained, still on her knees in the kneeling position. “Do you want eggs for Breakfast? Or a bagel?”

“Eggs are fine.” Arthur said. “Spinach omelet?”

“You’re out of spinach, Master. Do you want me to run to the store while you shower?” Selene asked.

“No.” Arthur shook his head. “I’ll add my grocery run to my to-do list after work today.” He looked at Kat. “Are we still on for tonight?” He asked.

Kat nodded as everyone looked at her. “Yes, Sir. If you can still squeeze me into your tight schedule.”

Arthur smirked. “I can squeeze you.” He said. He took off his shirt, and Kat noticed the sweat glisten across his torso in the most distracting way. “I’ve been looking forward to it.” He said.

Despite herself, Kat smiled and returned to her eggs as Arthur walked into the bathroom and closed the door behind him. Mindy and Selene stood up from the floor, and the girls entered the kitchen to join Kat at the table.

Mindy had her hair down, drying, but pushed back from her face with a black headband. She wore a white blouse with frills on either side of a front panel that ran from its tightly closed collar about her throat to the skirt she’d tucked it into. The black pencil skirt looked tight and challenging to move in, but that seemed intentional. It went down to her knees, where the stockings went the rest of the way to her heels. She looked cute, and the tight skirt showed off her narrow waist, contrasting with her ample bust.

Kat was sitting at the foot of the table, facing the fridge, sink, countertop, and stove on the wall behind the TV. Mindy sat on her left against the apartment’s far wall, and Rani sat on her right with her back toward the kitchen.

Rani wore baggy jeans again and a t-shirt too large to make out anything distinguishing about her form. Kat didn’t complain, but it was also so jarring going from one to the other. Rani’s body was mostly hips and ass, but her close-set tits weren’t small either; they were between Kat’s and Selene’s. It was strange to see her go from barely clad, wrapped in a towel, to something that hid her entire form away.

“Why do you dress like that?” Kat asked, unable to help herself as Selene sectioned out some scrambled eggs for herself, Mindy, and Rani.

“Like what?” Rani asked.

“All the baggy clothes, kinda… shapeless. You’re gorgeous. Don’t you want to show off your body?” Kat asked.

“Not really.” Rani shrugged. “Don’t get me wrong. I love feeling sexy.” She said. “But I don’t need a bunch of guys constantly leering at me in my engineering classes to make me feel that way. I can feel sexy without getting oggled constantly.”

Mindy nodded. Kat hadn’t really thought about it before. “That’s right. You’re an engineering major, right?” Mindy asked.

Rani nodded. “Yeah.”

“So you should have your pick of guys.” Kat said.

Rani shrugged. “Yeah. If you want guys from that pool.” She chuckled. “But uh… Guys in those classes aren’t exactly high on my list.”

“You don’t like geeks?” Selene asked, pre-offended on behalf of her people.

“It’s not that. I am a geek, really. I like plenty of geeky things. I was a mathlete in high school; I’ve played D&D and even DMed a few. I like Lord of the Rings, though I’m more of a Game of Thrones fan, and yes, I know that’s blasphemy. But… When it comes to guys, I prefer jocks. I like my guys a little dumb, a lot hot. Himbo material, really. Someone who doesn’t try to mansplain physics to me when I have better grades than they do in the same fuckin’ class, or better yet, listens to me when I say shit. Engineering guys are great, but if they know they’re smart, they’re usually assholes.” Rani shrugged. “These are really good, by the way.” She raised her fork to Selene. “Thanks.”

“No problem.” Selene nodded as she stood with her plate on the counter behind her.

“Aren’t you going to sit down?” Mindy gestured to the empty chair at the head of the table with its back toward the kitchen appliances.

“She’s saving Master’s seat.” Kat explained. “And she’s waiting to eat until Master’s here. She likes to eat with her plate on the floor for some reason.”

Selene shrugged. “We all have our kinks.” She wiggled her butt, which caused the tail to wag a bit.

Mindy giggled.

“You certainly have a lot of them.” Rani glanced at Selene.

Selene shrugged. “You’re welcome.” She smirked. Mindy giggled again.

“She has a point.” Kat shrugged. “Without her sharing kink, none of us would have had the chance to fuck Arthur.”

The shower water stopped, and the four girls looked at each other. Selene moved Arthur’s plate to the table and dished out the remainder of the eggs. Then she set out a glass of water for him and returned to her position by the counter. Rani only shook her head and finished her eggs.

“Are you gonna blow him while he eats breakfast?” Rani asked. “What’s the schedule like today?”

“You can blow him if you want to.” Selene offered.

“No thanks. I’m not as good at it as you or Mindy. You two can really go to town on him.” Rani waved the offer away.

Selene smiled. Mindy smiled too. “We can teach you, if you want.” Mindy offered. “You’ve got a dildo back in your room, right? You can practice.”

Rani shook her head. “I’ve tried. I’ve had many partners try to force my head down their shafts. My gag reflex is too strong.”

Mindy shrugged. “What if you-”

“I’m telling you.” Rani said. “I’ve tried. I sometimes gag just by brushing my teeth. It’s okay. I’m fine not being a ten in blowjobs. He’s got you two for that.” She gestured between Mindy and Selene. “I can be a ten in other things.”

Selene beamed her smile across the room but shrugged, and the girls fell quiet as Arthur entered the room naked. He set his towel down over his chair and sat down. Selene brought him a fork and then set her plate down on the floor, where she knelt with her ass and tail in the air, set her hands on either side of her plate, and started eating without a utensil.

“So…” Arthur said as he looked between Rani, Kat, and Mindy at the table. “What’s everyone up to today?”

Rani went first. “Class. Homework. The usual. I’m going to work ahead a bit to clear Saturday for homecoming and Saturday night for the inevitable harem orgy with my King and all his slaves.” Rani teased Arthur a little.

Kat scoffed. “I’ve got work at the tutoring center, class, homework and studying, and then our session tonight.” She shrugged.

“I’ve got work and classes this morning and then another class in the afternoon, and then my mom wants me to help out at the restaurant tonight, so I’ll probably be driving deliveries again.” Mindy frowned. “But at least it pays.” She shrugged.

“Nice.” Arthur nodded as he ate some of his food. “And what’re your plans today, Pet?” Arthur asked.

Selene lifted her head from her plate and looked over her shoulder at him. “Work at the bookstore in about an hour. Then classes this afternoon. And… I guess I’ll study and do homework tonight.” She sighed.

“Yes, you will.” Kat said sternly. “Tell her she has to, Sir.”

Arthur laughed, but he realized she was serious when Kat didn’t. It wasn’t a bad idea. It was probably an excellent way to convince Selene to do it.

“Kat’s right.” Arthur said to Selene. “You need to dedicate some time to your homework, especially if you’ve been neglecting it for our sessions.”

Selene stuck her tongue out at Kat. “Yes, Master. But what if I get horny and want to watch you punish your little Brat here?” She gestured to Kat.

“Tonight’s just me and Kat.” Arthur reminded her. “And you aren’t allowed to play with yourself until after your homework. If Kat checks it and tells me that you didn’t complete your assignments, there will be punishments to follow. Do you understand?”

Selene blushed but nodded.

“Hell of a motivation, really.” Rani commented.

Mindy giggled.

“I said, do you understand?” Arthur asked again.

“Yes, Master.” Selene nodded. “I love you.”

“I love you too.” Arthur assured her. “Now, finish your breakfast.”

Selene obeyed.

Kat looked between Arthur and Selene for a moment. “So that’s a thing now, huh? You two are on the ‘I love you’ level of this whole thing?” She asked.

“Yeah, it uh… we said it to each other last night. And again earlier this morning, and… just now.” Arthur explained.

Kat nodded. “Rani mentioned you two had said it last night. I just wasn’t sure if it was a one-time thing or not.”

“Is that okay?” Arthur asked. “Do we need to talk again?”

“No, it’s okay. It’s… it’s great, actually. If you two had hidden it from all of us, that might be a problem, but… it’s… good, I guess. It lets me know where you stand with my sister. And where you stand with me.” Kat looked at Arthur to gauge his reaction, but if he had one, he didn’t show it.

“Well, good.” Arthur said. “And how do you two feel about it? We never really talked about it last night…” Arthur looked at Rani and Mindy.

Rani shrugged and spoke first. “I don’t care.” She said. “I have no idea how long you two have been doing this, but it seems like you know each other pretty well and are pretty comfortable with each other and your many, many kinks.” She pointed her thumb at Selene. “So long as you’re not expecting all of us to jump into being in love with you or anything, I’m fine.” She looked at Mindy.

“I was surprised.” Mindy admitted. “Last night. I mean, I knew, I think, that Selene loved you and that you cared about her. I just didn’t realize you two were so much further along than you and I were.” She gestured to Arthur. “I mean. I’m not ready to say that. I’m attracted to you, like a lot, I like you, and I’m addicted to everything we’re doing, but… it’s not like I’m ready to say that yet.”

“And that’s okay.” Arthur assured her. “Each of you has your relationship with me at its own pace.” He reminded them. “We all care about each other, as people and as lovers. So, that’s the important part. The rest will come at its own pace.” He seemed confident, but Kat felt he was being his usual optimistic self. It made sense he would do or say anything he could to keep the harem together for as long as he could.

He couldn’t know how any of this was going to work out. He’d gone from one long-term relationship to single, to a friend with benefits, and suddenly five girlfriends of varying levels of emotional intimacy that he had to juggle simultaneously. This whole thing could be a shit show, and soon, but so far it’d been okay. Kat was willing to give it a shot. So was everyone else, it seemed.

“And if I were to say ‘I love you’?” Kat asked, testing the waters. “What would you say?”

Arthur seemed to think about it for a moment. “I’d be surprised.” He answered honestly. “Selene and I have known each other for years. We were close friends before we started doing all this. So… it makes sense that love would follow sex so quickly.” He admitted. “You and I haven’t really gotten to know one another yet. So I don’t know if I’d be ready to say it back to you honestly, but I would be delighted, if a little confused, to hear it from you.”

Mindy looked back and forth between Arthur and Kat. “Do you love him?”

Kat shrugged. “I’m not going to say it; I just wondered what would happen if I did.” She scoffed.

“Seemed like a good answer to me.” Rani smirked. “Our man here thinks more about all this shit than I would have thought.”

By this point, Arthur had finished his eggs, and the others had finished theirs, too, except Selene. Arthur started gathering the plates, rinsing them, and loading the dishwasher. Selene frowned but was hungry enough to finish her breakfast before hopping up to her feet and shooing him away from the sink to get dressed. Mindy “awwww”ed at the naked Arthur going away to put clothes on but let him go without trying to follow him into the bedroom. If only because Rani’s hand on her arm stopped her.

“Are we all going to fit into the car?” Rani asked.

“I should probably drive separately anyway.” Kat admitted. “I like having the freedom to leave campus without depending on Arthur for a ride.” She smirked.

“Good ride, though.” Rani smirked.

Mindy and Selene laughed.

“Shotgun!” Selene called.

“You just want to blow him while he drives again.” Kat accused.

Selene didn’t try to defend herself; she smiled and returned to cleaning up.

“Aw.” Mindy pouted. “But what if I wanted to give him road head?”

“The two of you can ride in the back, with Arthur in the middle.” Rani said. “I’ll drive.”

“You can drive?” Selene asked.

“I have my license. I don’t have a car.” Rani explained. “I’ll get one eventually, but I’m trying to keep expenses down.”

“Perfect.” Mindy smiled. “Hopefully, we can get him to blow his load before we reach campus.”

“Or, you can let him rest and save some of him for me tonight?” Kat reminded them.

“Nah.” Selene smirked and looked at Kat. “Are you sure you don’t want to come?” She asked. “You can sit up front and play with your tits while you watch. That’ll get him to cum quickly.” Seeing what would get Arthur there sooner rather than later was something of a game to Selene.

“You called shotgun.” Kat pointed out. “I’ll ride in the back with Mindy, and we can blow him. You sit up front with Rani and watch. I need to practice my technique anyway, right?”

“No. I mean, yeah, you do, but… but-” Selene stammered.

“I like it.” Rani said with a smirk. “If you’re good, maybe our Master will let you finger yourself while you watch.” She said to Selene. “You’d like that, wouldn’t you, Slut?” Rani asked.

Selene shivered. “Yes, Mistress.”

Rani smirked.

Kat glanced between the two and over to Mindy. Mindy shrugged at Kat’s questioning expression, then smiled. “Blow job, buddies!” She offered Kat a high five.

Kat laughed and high-fived her back with a sigh. “Selene, shouldn’t you go get dressed?” Kat asked.

“Oh, yeah.” Selene nodded as she finished cleaning up.

They heard Arthur come out of the bedroom and then saw him a second later, dressed in a sharply cut suit that looked good on him. Mindy bit her lip. Selene passed him on the way to the bedroom and whispered in his ear. He nodded and walked back to the bedroom with her. Mindy pouted.

“Don’t worry, he’s just picking out her clothes.” Kat assured her. “Another of Selene’s kinks.”

“Hot.” Rani commented. “Ten bucks says he puts her in something slutty.”

Kat laughed. “Of course he does.”

“Does he do that every day?” Mindy asked.

Kat nodded. “So far.”

Mindy bit her lip again, clearly thinking over the possibilities. “He can have wardrobe approval over me if he wants it.” She said.

Kat scoffed. “At this point, we should just make an app; he can go through and make outfits for us all to wear and assign them to different days.”

“Does he pick out your outfits too?” Rani asked as she looked Kat over.

Kat shook her head and crossed her legs under the table. “No. I can dress myself, thanks.” She said. “I was just teasing Mindy.”

Mindy smirked. “Anyone know how to make an app?” She asked.

Rani laughed. “It wouldn’t actually be too difficult. Just some pictures and some metadata. Tag each picture… I might be able to do something like that.” Rani shrugged. “I needed a project for my comp sci class anyway.”

“Really?” Mindy asked. “That’d be… pretty cool, actually.”

Rani smirked.

Arthur and Selene walked back in; this time, Selene was wearing one of the dresses Kat had pulled from the closet. It was a tank dress with a flared skirt that fell to her knees. Pretty conservative, actually, except for the lack of sleeves. Though she still had her collars on. Kat wondered if Selene was wearing anything under it but decided not to ask.

Arthur jingled his keys from his hand and nodded toward the door. “Ready to go, ladies?” Arthur asked.

Mindy reached up behind her and took off her WHORE collar as she stood, pressing her breasts against the fabric of her blouse in remarkable ways. Kat stood and moved toward the couch to grab her book bag. Rani stood and brushed herself off, striding toward Arthur and reaching for his keys.

“We decided I’m driving, and you’re riding in the back so Kat and Mindy can blow you.” Rani explained. “Any objections?”

“Uh…” Arthur hesitated, looking back and forth between the girls. “Yes, actually.”

“Really?” Rani sounded surprised. “But… they want to blow you.”

“I know, but… it’s my car. I want to drive.” Arthur chuckled. “So Whore and Brat will just have to wait.” He glanced at Kat when he said it. “Besides, it’s Kat’s date night tonight. I gotta keep something in the tank.”

“That’s what I’ve been saying!” Kat said, surprising herself.

Mindy giggled, joined by Selene. Rani rolled her eyes and shrugged. “Fine. We’ll just tease you from the backseat.” She warned.

Arthur chuckled and held open the front door while he waited for the girls to grab their things and head to the car. Mindy and Selene hung their WHORE and SLUT collars next to Kat’s on the wall, but Selene left her brown leather collar on, as usual.

They were all out and in the car before long. Selene took the front seat, as called. Arthur drove. Kat, Mindy, and Rani piled into the back seat in that order, with Mindy in the middle. She opened her blouse a little, letting Rani play with her tits while Arthur drove, making him glance back in the rearview. Kat couldn’t help but notice Selene reaching over and stroking him as he drove. Kat sighed and looked out the window, impatient for them to get to campus.

Kat felt the small spot in her stomach churn as jealousy started to seep into her mind. Then she had to stop and ask what she was jealous of. Sure, they were taking all of the attention, but that was nothing new to Kat. She grew up with Selene, who always did whatever she could to take the spotlight. Now, Mindy and Rani seemed to be taking it, but Selene wasn’t jealous. It was like she was gifting the sight in the rearview to Arthur as she slowly stroked him. Was Kat jealous of her sister? Of Mindy? She didn’t know. She didn’t want to focus on it, so she looked out the window.

Mindy closed up her shirt as they reached campus, and Selene put Excalibur away with a pout. No one had gotten an orgasm, but they seemed pleased with their fun. They dropped Selene off first at the campus bookstore, then Rani and Mindy at their dorm. Each time the girl would get out of the car, grab her bag from the trunk, and head off with a blown kiss to Arthur and a wave to the others. Kat smirked.

“Okay, where to, Miss?” Arthur asked with a smirk and a glance in the rearview mirror.

“The library. I have work at the tutoring center.” Kat sighed.

“You got it.” Arthur nodded and pulled away from the dorm. The library wasn’t far away and shared a parking lot with the admin building where Arthur worked. Kat wasn’t sure if he had work or class first, but she didn’t pry. She didn’t care, really. She just wanted to try and think of something to say to break the silence that was starting to feel awkward now that the others weren’t here to distract Arthur.

“I’m uh… looking forward to tonight.” Kat said, finally.

“I am too.” Arthur smiled at her in the rearview mirror. “Do you want to grab dinner at the cafeteria before our session tonight? Give us something normal to do before I take you home and show you the ropes?”

Kat rolled her eyes at the pun. Arthur was nearly as bad as Selene. She was so busy disdaining it that she forgot to answer and realized he was waiting for one when she looked up and saw his eyes in the mirror.

“Sure.” Kat shrugged. “But… can it be just the two of us? Maybe we can get dinner at the cafe instead or somewhere not on campus?”

Arthur seemed to think about it for a moment, but only a moment. “Of course.” He said with a nod. “You want to go somewhere nice or somewhere just okay?”

“Somewhere nice.” Kat answered. “Spoil me a little, and I might show you how good a girl I can be.” She teased him but judging from the look in his eyes, she wouldn’t regret it.

“Somewhere nice it is.” Arthur answered.

He parked the car and opened the door for Kat before she stepped out, which she appreciated. He retrieved his bag from the trunk and passed her hers as she approached the back of the car to join him.

“Should I meet you here for dinner?” Kat asked.

“No.” Arthur shook his head. “Meet me at the doors up there.” He pointed up to the doors by the library entrance. “I’ll drive up and pick you up.”

“Oh. Okay.” Kat said with a nod. “What time?” Kat asked.

“Five.” Arthur answered.

“Okay. Well, uh… have fun at work, Sir.” Kat said. She couldn’t resist the chance to get one last tease in.

“You too.” Arthur smirked. He seemed hesitant as if he wasn’t sure if he should hug her farewell or not. Kat mimicked the others and blew him a kiss as she walked away. He watched her go momentarily and then headed up to the other entrance where he worked. Kat turned her attention back to the library.

The tutoring center in the library was off to the side, away from the silent sections but closer to the tables laid out for group study sessions and meetings. Few people utilized it at this time of day, but commuters and others were always looking for help.

Kat clocked in and got to work on her homework in the back corner, interrupting it with tutoring others, primarily by looking over their work and providing editorial services. It wasn’t an overly laborious job. The trickiest part was figuring out the idiosyncrasies of the different professors and styling each paper or assignment to match their quirks in addition to standard grammar. Still, she had multiple cheat sheets at the ready.

She was in the habit of turning her phone notifications off at work, so she didn’t see any until she was packing up to leave for lunch. She pulled her phone from her purse and checked to see that she had several. The Harem Chat was popping off with notifications.

Kelly asked how things went last night, and Selene, Mindy, and Rani took turns informing her of everything. Selene’s job was pretty standard retail, so she had a lot of time to stand around and wait for customers to come in at this time of day. Kat didn’t know what Mindy and Rani’s schedules were like.

She also had a notification from Katelyn, her friend on the intramural volleyball team and Kelly’s roommate.

Kate:

Girl. Kelly just told me what’s up with her and her boyfriend, and apparently your boyfriend too? What the fuck is happening right now? Has the world gone insane?

Katerine read the text and sighed. She didn’t know how to respond to it right now, so she didn’t. She checked her other messages instead.

Mom:

What’s this I hear from your landlord about the two of you moving?

Kat sighed and started texting her mother back as she walked from the library to the cafeteria for lunch.

Kat:

We found a deal to rent a house with some friends of ours. Cheaper rent, better place, safer area, semester-long lease instead of month to month, so everyone wins.

Mom:

You didn’t think to ask me about it first?

Kat:

I didn’t think we needed to? I thought you’d be proud of us for taking the initiative to get better housing for cheaper.

Mom:

And who are you moving in with?

Kat:

Some girlfriends of ours.

Mom:

No boys?

Kat:

Everyone renting is female, don’t worry.

She knew it was a lie by omission but didn’t care. There was no way she would explain to their mother that she and Selene were moving in with their shared boyfriend to his parent’s house. She had no idea how they would keep it from their mom long-term, but… she didn’t need to know. And she was across the state. So they would figure something out by the time they had to deal with her wanting to visit.

Mom:

Good. When are you moving?

Kat:

Before the end of the month. Hopefully, next week over fall break. I have to make sure Selene starts packing soon.

Mom:

Oh. I’d hoped you’d come home for Fall Break.

Kat:

Sorry. I don’t think we’ll be able to with the move.

Mom:

Well, how is your sister doing? Is she keeping up with her schoolwork?

Kat:

Honestly? She’s been slacking on her homework, but she’s set apart sometime tonight to dig in and get it done.

Mom:

Good. See that she does.

Kat:

Of course.

Mom:

Love you.

Kat:

I love you too.

She knew Selene would have said something like Luv u 2, at least to someone else, but Kat had never brought herself to text with chatspeak. She texted in complete sentences with proper grammar. She was an English major, and she couldn’t help it. Not that Selene would ever text that to their mom. The two of them got along about as well as two wet cats, and it was easy for Kat to see why. For one, they were too similar in personality sometimes, and for two, their mom was a bitch sometimes, and Selene was too rebellious against her rules. It was almost amusing, then, that Kat was the one who’d earned the nickname “Brat.”

She didn’t look up from her phone until she got to the cafeteria and heard her name. She looked up to see Katelyn in the line ahead of her and waved. To her surprise, Katelyn shuffled out of the line and dropped to the back to stand beside her.

“Hey.” Kate said quickly. “Can we talk?”

“Sure. How are you?” Kat asked.

The look on Katelyn’s face was one of surprise and a touch of anger. “I’m good. I was worried because I didn’t hear back from you this morning.” Kate explained.

“Oh, I was at work.” Kat explained. “And then got pulled into a text convo with my mom. You know how she is.”

“Right.” Kate nodded and stepped forward as the line moved. “So…”

“So.” Kat said, curious to see if Kate would be brave enough to broach the topic she so clearly wanted to ask about in the middle of a public mind. She was.

“So you, your sister, Kelly, and two other girls are all dating the same dick?” Kate asked.

Kat sighed as a few heads in front of them in line turned their way and then turned back, pretending they weren’t listening. “Yeah, that about sums it up.”

“The same dick who was over at my place last weekend?” Kate asked.

“For his date with Kelly, yeah.” Kat nodded.

“Okay, but… why?” Kate asked. “You could date other guys if you wanted to, so why Kelly’s guy?”

“He’s not-” Kat started to protest his designation as “Kelly’s Guy,” but she knew it wouldn’t be any use. She also knew Katelyn and her ex-boyfriend had broken up for his cheating on her, so she wasn’t in the most receptive or accepting place right now. “Well, it’s… complicated.” Kat started. “But uh… maybe this isn’t the place to hash out my love life. You know?” She looked ahead at the people with the faux decency to continue pretending not to eavesdrop.

“Katerine.” Katelyn said sternly. “I’ve been dying to talk to you about all this. Kelly wants us to move in with this asshole. You’re dating him. Selene’s dating him. Kelly’s dating him. And seems totally fine with this whole… arrangement. She’s been really excited about it and him for days now. And I’m just… scared for her. For you. I’m freaking out.”

Kat sighed. “Fine. But… can it wait until I at least hit the salad bar?”

Katelyn rolled her eyes and stamped her foot. It was a cute little gesture of frustration from the tall, willowy, and coltish brunette. Even in flats, she was nearly a foot taller than Katerine, who had to look up at her as they spoke. She was flat everywhere Kat was round, but she had the Taylor Swift build of a little flare at the hips, a slight bump in her upper torso for her breasts, and long legs that still made her attractive, especially in short skirts, shorts, or dresses. Her ex-boyfriend had cheated on her with a girl who looked a little more like her roommate, Kelly.

“Come on.” Kat said, taking her hand. “Take a breath. I promise everything is above-board and okay.”

Katelyn huffed. “That’s what Kelly said too. I don’t know how you can be so… so okay with it. He could be making out with Kelly right now, for all you know. Doesn’t that bother you?”

Kat shrugged. “No, not really.” She was surprised to find it was actually true. The idea of Arthur making out with the others didn’t bother her. Seeing them get the attention she wasn’t getting might set her off, though. She wasn’t sure. The bit of jealousy she had the other day was him fucking some bitch she didn’t know. Someone not in their circle that she couldn’t trust to have her back in their arrangement.

She hadn’t reacted well to Rani, but they’d figured that out eventually. Watching him with the girls she knew, like Selene, was pretty hot when she participated. Thinking of him getting intimate with Mindy and the others while she wasn’t there was less desirable, but it didn’t spike her jealousy the way she initially expected it to. It was just… part of the arrangement. Thinking of him making out with someone she didn’t know bothered her a lot, though. Perhaps it poked some insecurities.

Katelyn frowned. “Really?”

“Really.” Kat shrugged. “Look. When I first got to know Arthur, I was sure he was a creep taking advantage of my sister.” Kat explained. “But he wasn’t. He… cares about her. About all of us in different ways. I mean, sure, he’s not perfect. He fucks up sometimes, and I try to be there to lay into him for it, but overall, he does a good job and looks out for whoever he’s with. Plus, he’s hot as hell and knows how to care for a woman. Y’know?”

Kate looked surprised. So did the people directly in front of them in line.

Kat sighed. “What I have with Arthur is casual. We hook up sometimes. We’re both free to see other people if we want to. We all understand, and it’s no one else’s business.” She said the last part a little louder for the people eavesdropping.

Katelyn still looked concerned, but she seemed to think about what Kat said as they scanned their cards and filed into line to get their food. “Kelly said the same thing, that is casual, that she liked the other girls taking up his attention so she didn’t have to be a full-time girlfriend.”

Kat scoffed. “That’s one benefit, I guess.”

Katelyn frowned but shook her head and moved off to get some food. When Katerine reached the cafeteria tables, Katelyn was still in line getting some pizza. Kat’s salad was covered in toppings that would fill her up. She looked around for where to sit but was quickly flagged down by Mindy, who was already bounding up to her.

“Come sit with us! The harem has a table by the back.” Mindy said, taking her by the hand and pulling her toward the table. Arthur was there, along with Rani, Selene, and Kelly. Kat rolled her eyes but followed along, letting Mindy guide her to the table. She sat next to Selene, who was next to Kelly, who was next to Arthur, who was next to Rani, who was next to Mindy. Moments later, Katelyn spotted Kelly and Kat and approached with her tray but hesitated when she spotted Arthur.

“Join us.” Kelly waved her over. “You should meet everyone anyway if we’re going to be housemates.”

Katelyn still seemed wary, but she came over and set her tray down next to Kat.

“Welcome to the sex cult table.” Rani offered.

Katelyn picked up her tray as if the table was electrified. Rani laughed, but most of them looked apologetic.

“She’s kidding! She’s kidding.” Kelly assured Katelyn.

Katelyn frowned but set her tray back down. “If you all want to be alone, I can eat elsewhere.”

“Don’t be silly. We’re just hanging out, having lunch as friends.” Kelly assured her.

“Our boyfriend just happens to be here.” Rani added. “Is that a problem for you?”

Kelly shot Rani a look, but Katelyn didn’t answer. She sat and started to eat.

“It’s nice to see you again.” Arthur said to Katelyn.

“It’s nice to see you with some clothes on this time.” Katelyn muttered.

Rani raised her eyebrow and looked at Arthur, who raised his hands in surrender. “She walked in when I was picking up my clothes after spending the night at Kelly’s last Friday.” Arthur explained. “I uh… hadn’t had a chance to put anything back on yet.”

“Ah.” Rani chimed in. “So you’ve seen Excalibur.”

Mindy and Selene giggled.

“Excal-?” Katelyn started to ask, but then it clicked, and she laughed too. “Yeah, I guess so. Didn’t think it was impressive enough to hypnotize an entire cult, though.”

“I wasn’t hard.” Arthur said a little too quickly. A quiet chorus of giggles and laughter at the table brought a blush to Arthur’s cheeks.

Kelly put a hand on his arm. “You can’t possibly feel the need to defend your manhood to any of us. We’re all in love with your dick.” Kelly assured him.

Arthur was still blushing but went back to eating. Kat glanced up at him but shook her head and returned to eating.

“Mom knows we’re moving, by the way.” Kat mentioned to Selene, changing the subject.

“You told her already?” Selene asked.

“No. She talked to the landlord, apparently. I put in to end the lease this month yesterday. So… sometime between then and this morning, she must have talked to them.” Kat answered. “Or they called her.”

Selene frowned.

“Is that an issue?” Arthur asked.

“Only that our mom is way too nosy, too controlling, and too chummy with that office manager.” Selene scoffed. “What did you tell her?”

“I assured her that everyone renting the house is female and that it’s better accommodations with cheaper rent.” Kat answered.

“All true.” Selene smiled.

“Technically, yes.” Kat sighed. “I left Arthur out of it, obviously.”

The others were quiet, but none seemed to have an issue.

“If it helps, I don’t plan to tell my parents about this.” Rani piped up.

“Aren’t you worried they’ll find out from the video?” Katelyn asked. “The one of you kneeing that guy in the balls?”

Rani shrugged. “No, not really. Not unless they put it on the school website or something.” She scoffed. “So long as my grades stay up and I tell them I’m still looking for a wealthy Indian husband, they’re too busy with their own lives and my other siblings to pay much attention to me.”

“My parents can’t find out.” Mindy said. “And I’m a little worried. But so far, I don’t think they’ve seen the video. No reason they should, really. But… maybe I should avoid doing anything in public for a little while.” She was obviously thinking about the walk around the mall that almost happened and the walk around the neighborhood that did.

“My mom is pretty open-minded.” Kelly shrugged. “My dad is less so, but he gets less say. They’ll be surprised, but I don’t think they’ll condemn what we’re doing.”

“What about your parents?” Selene asked Arthur. “Do you think your mom and dad will be upset?”

“No.” Arthur answered honestly. “My mom’s already teased me about something like this happening, but she didn’t seem to condemn it. So long as it’s all consensual and above board, which it is, they’re fine. They’re… open-minded. I think.” He shrugged.

“My parents would flip.” Katelyn chimed in. The others looked at her, including Kat, who smiled at her. “If they found out I was part of a poly-whatever relationship like yours?” Kate looked at Kat. “My brothers would hunt Arthur down and beat him to a pulp. After they find Sean.”

“How many brothers do you have?” Arthur asked teasingly.

“Six older brothers.” Katelyn said confidently.

Arthur whistled.

“You can take ’em.” Rani assured him.

Arthur laughed. “I don’t want to!”

The girls laughed, and Arthur started gathering his things. “I’ve got to get to class. I’ll see y’all later. Girls, take care. Kat, I’ll see you at five?”

Kat nodded.

“Katelyn, nice to see you again.” Arthur said as he rose. The others started gathering their dirty dishes and headed out shortly after Arthur, not quite all leaving at the same time, though Kat noticed Mindy had Arthur’s hand as they walked along the path outside toward the admin building.

Kat and Katelyn finished their lunch within the next few minutes and yelled their thank yous into the conveyor belt of the kitchens as they dropped off their dirty dishes. They walked a little together until they were out of the cafeteria, talking about everyday things again and chatting about their plans for homecoming.

None of the girls at the table seemed to notice or care about the looks the table had gotten while they ate. Kat didn’t even notice some of the stares or whispers that followed her after she left. It wasn’t until people were still looking at her funny during class that she wondered what was happening. It was weird. It was like everyone was looking at her as if she had something on her nose, but a quick check in the bathrooms had told her she didn’t, nor did she have any stains or anything on her clothes.

She didn’t like the feeling. The glances, the eyes. She felt like people were talking about her for some reason, spreading the word about her. Yet no one asked her anything or said anything, and when she initiated small talk, they were all polite and normal to her. It was confusing.

Her classes were boring, and it was tough to care about the content as she listened to the lecture and took her notes. She and Selene sat together in her second class of the day, Non-Western Lit, but they didn’t have much time to talk, and then they were off to their other courses again.

When her classes were done, she went to the library to study until her dinner with Arthur. Time seemed to pass by in a montage of pages and notes as the clock ticked on. Her phone dinged to let her know that five o’clock had arrived, and she packed up her things to go and meet Arthur by the doors as he’d suggested. With her pack over her back, she walked and smirked a little when she saw Arthur’s car waiting for her. He was leaning against the hood, facing the building, with the car still running.

“You’re late.” Arthur said with a smirk as he opened the passenger side door for her.

Kat smirked back at him. “Funny.” She said. The car’s clock said it was 5:02, but she hadn’t expected him to be prompt. “You can spank me for it later.”

Arthur chuckled and closed the door after checking she was clear of it. He moved around the car and ducked inside, taking the driver’s seat up again.

“So, where are we going to dinner?” Kat asked.

“There’s a nice steak restaurant about halfway between campus and the apartments. Do you like steak?” Arthur asked.

“Steak sounds a little heavy, considering….” Kat hesitated. “Our plans for the evening.”

“Well, what would you like for dinner then?” Arthur asked.

“Italian?” Kat suggested. “There’s that place not too far from the apartments.”

“Sure.” Arthur nodded. “I like that place.”

They drove in silence until they made it off campus, and Arthur started trying to strike up some conversation once he was in the normal flow of traffic.

“So… how was the rest of your day after lunch?” Arthur asked. “Did anybody give you any grief for having lunch with me?”

Kat looked at him, momentarily confused, and then it clicked. “No, nobody said anything, but I think that explains the funny looks I was getting.”

“Funny looks?” Arthur asked.

“Yeah, just funny looks.” Kat answered. “Did the other girls get harassed or anything?” She checked her phone. The House Chat and Harem Chat had been pretty quiet, with everyone having work or classes. The other girls didn’t seem like they’d had any problems, and no one had given them any grief. Or, if they had, no one had said anything about it in the chat.

“No, everybody’s been okay, I think. I had a few of the guys come up and give me grief, but nothing too bad, just some teasing, I guess, calling me a man whore, that kind of thing. I think once I had lunch with Rani and Mindy, someone must have put together that I was the Arthur she mentioned last night, and then from there… well, pretty much everybody at the table is now fuel for the gossip mill.”

Kat rolled her eyes. “It’s nobody’s business.”

Arthur nodded. “I agree.” He tried to give her a reassuring smile. “I wouldn’t worry about it too much. Something else will happen in a few days, and people will forget all about us. Homecoming should wipe it from everyone’s minds.”

“Wouldn’t count on it.” Kat scoffed. “If we’re all going together as a group date? We’ll be the talk of campus.”

“Eh.” Arthur shrugged. “Let them talk. They’ll get over it.”

“Easy for you to say.” Kat scoffed again. “All anyone’s saying about you is that you must be a god among men. I don’t think the rumors will be complimentary for us girls.”

“Oh, I don’t think it’ll be that bad.” Arthur shook his head. “We’re past that, socially. At least people our age. No one’s going around slutshaming people anymore.”

“Wanna bet?” Kat asked.

“What?” Arthur looked over at her and then back to the road.

“If people slutshame one of us girls within the next week, you have to do all of mine and Selene’s packing for our move to the house.” Kat announced. “And if no one does, we’ll do your packing.”

“Volunteering Selene, aren’t you?” Arthur asked.

“Like she’d turn down an opportunity to serve you.” Kat rolled her eyes. “Fine, I’ll do all your packing, and you can sit there and watch while Selene blows you.”

Arthur thought about it for a moment. “Do I get to pick what you wear while you do the packing?”

Kat looked over at him and blushed a little. “Fine. But you won’t win. It’s practically guaranteed that at least one of us will be shamed by someone about this.”

“Deal.” Arthur nodded as they pulled into the restaurant parking lot. It was pretty busy, as it was the dinner hour, but on a Tuesday night, the parking lot was still far from full. On the weekends, Arthur wouldn’t have even bothered coming here during the dinner rush without planning to wait at least an hour. As it was, they were seated immediately in a cozy two-person booth by the bar with a small overhead light illuminating their menus.

Kat already knew what she wanted and ordered when the waitress came up. Marinated chicken that wasn’t too heavy but would fill her up for the evening. Arthur caught up and ordered a chicken breast in a white sauce but with no pasta or noodles. He also requested some water and declined the waitress’ offer of wine.

“We can drink, you know. We’re of age.” Kat pointed out once the waitress had left.

“Yeah, but I want to do what we’re going to do later sober, remember? That’s part of our agreement.” Arthur reminded her.

Kat nodded. “Good.” She said. “And we’re both in the right frame of mind? You’re not super pissed off about anything?”

“I am not. Are you?” Arthur asked.

“Just my usual level of pissed off.” Kat assured him. She meant it as a joke but had to laugh after she said it when a look of concern crossed Arthur’s face. He turned his face into a smile and shook his head. “So… that was quite the lesson plan you sent. Did it take up most of your prep time before your date on Sunday?”

“Most of it.” Arthur nodded. “Then I caught up on the rest of my emails, including one from Lynn, and then got ready and headed out.”

“Lynn?” Kat asked. “That’s the girl who’s gonna stay in the basement, right? Your ex?”

“Not my ex.” Arthur corrected. “My old bully from high school.”

“Right.” Kat nodded. “Sorry. Lori was your ex.”

“Yeah.” Arthur nodded.

“Lot of L names in your life.” Kat pointed out.

Arthur chuckled. “I guess so.”

“So what did she email you about? Trying to push you around about the living arrangements or something?” Kat asked.

“No, she was… well, I’m not even sure. It was almost like she was apologizing or getting in touch with me so that I could apologize to her for what went on in high school.” Arthur explained. “It was weird and annoying.”

“So what did you say back?” Kat asked.

“Oh, I never emailed her back.” Arthur shook his head. “I’m not going anywhere near her if I don’t have to.”

“Can I read it?” Kat asked.

“What?” Arthur looked surprised.

“The email from Lynn. Can I read it?” Kat asked, holding out her hand.

“Uh… sure. Here.” Arthur said. He pulled out his phone, unlocked it, pulled up the email, and placed it in Kat’s hand. She scrolled through it, reading it with an indiscernible expression the entire time.

Subject: I’m Sorry

“Arthur,

Your mom sent me your email info, and I know that you don’t want to talk to me, ever, but I have to talk to you. I know how I treated you in high school was not fair or kind. I know that it was wrong and that you never did or said, or probably even thought, half the things the girls and I used to accuse you of. I’ve thought of hundreds of excuses, rationalizations, and justifications for my words and actions over the years, but the truth is: I was a bitch. I was a straight-up bitch, and I’m sorry.

I know that probably doesn’t mean much to you after all this time. We both went off to college, and you’ve hopefully moved on with your life. You’re not the gross little hanger-on that you used to be, and I’m not that over-achieving popular girl anymore. My experiences in the colleges I’ve gone to since we graduated high school have been intense and life-changing. I’ve grown as a person, I hope. And I want you to know that I forgive you for all the clingy stalkerish things you used to do in high school. I know you weren’t trying to be a creep. You were just trying to be a friend, the way we were when we were kids, even if we’d both grown up.

Hopefully, we’ve grown up a lot since childhood and high school. Again, I’m sorry for everything, and I forgive you for everything. I hope you can forgive me.

I’ll actually be attending your school in the spring semester and hopefully spend my super-senior year there next year. It’s a long story, but I’ve managed to squeeze four years of college into five. Lol. I know you’re looking at Grad school there, according to your mom, so I expect we’ll see a lot of each other. Especially if what your mom is offering comes to be, with me renting a room at their place. I hope it won’t be awkward for either of us, especially since she said you might be living there too.

I know we can never go back to the way things were and be friends like we used to be. But I know people grow, and I hope you and I can grow to be friends again, even if just a little. I miss my knight in shining armor, and I look back on those memories of you and I playing around as kids as some of the best in what I realize now was an otherwise extremely lonely childhood.

You don’t have to email back if you don’t want to. I get it. You don’t even have to accept any of my apologies. If you want to avoid each other even as we awkwardly cohabitate for the next year or so, I’ll even do my best to oblige. But I hope you’ve grown up as much as I have these last few years, if not more than I have, and can find it in you to reconcile.

Sincerely,

Lynn”

“Well.” Kat said after a moment. “She probably would have been fine if she’d stopped after the first paragraph, but… she gets really passive-aggressive after that. Like, she apologizes for being a bitch, and then acts like one. Then offers an olive branch in her final conclusion.” She handed Arthur back his phone. “Selene sent you some nudes while I was reading, by the way.” Kat teased him, though Selene had messaged him. “And what was that about you being her knight in shining armor?”

Arthur scoffed as he put his phone away. “A game we used to play as kids, that’s all.”

Kat nodded and took a sip of her water after the waitress placed it in front of her. “So, were you a creepy little hanger-on in high school?”

“No.” Arthur said determinedly. “We went to the same school, had some of the same classes together, the same lunch period. Whenever her friends saw me, they would claim I was stalking her, but it wasn’t like I couldn’t go to school.” Arthur shrugged. “Trust me, I did my best to avoid them.”

Kat nodded. “I’m sorry. High school sucks.”

“Yeah.” Arthur nodded.

“College has been kind to you, though.” Kat smirked. “And if half the things my sister threatens to do to that girl if she crosses you are physically possible, I don’t think you have anything to worry about next semester.”

Arthur scoffed. Selene was fiercely protective of him when it came to Lynn; that much was true. He hoped that wouldn’t result in problems when they all shared the house, but he appreciated having a buffer willing to step in for him if she needed to. Selene was… pretty great. Kat noticed the smile on his face as he thought about her and smiled despite herself.

“You really love my sister, don’t you.” It wasn’t a question.

“Yeah.” Arthur nodded. “She’s… pretty great.”

Kat smirked. “But you still want to fuck me tonight, right?”

Arthur laughed. “Oh, of course. Selene would never forgive me if I didn’t fuck you.”

Kat smirked. “But that’s not the only reason, right? Like… Do you like me for me, or just because I’m part of a package deal?”

Arthur seemed to have to think about it, making Kat frown more than expected.

“I like you for you.” Arthur answered. “I’m just still getting to know you. I was pretty sure you didn’t like me when we first met, and these last few days have been a roller coaster for us, you gotta admit. Sometimes it seems like you hate me, sometimes you want me to show you the ropes, make love to you, sometimes you’re miserable, and then other times like this, you’re nice. It’s… confusing.”

Kat looked down at the table and frowned a little. “I don’t hate you.” She said defensively. “I’m sorry. I promise I’m not trying to come across as crazy.”

“I know.” Arthur assured her. “Like… the jealousy thing.” He landed on the example. “Once we figured out what was happening, it all made sense. Once you explain things, they make sense. It’s when you act before I can figure out what’s going on that leads to the whiplash effect.”

Kat nodded. “Yeah.” She said. “Sorry. I promise I’ll try to be less crazy about things. I just… overreact sometimes.”

“All any of us can do is try.” Arthur nodded. “And I’ll try to keep up my end of things.” Arthur assured her.

“See that you do.” Kat said.

“Speaking of, did you do the reading for tonight’s lesson?” Arthur asked.

Kat nodded. “Yeah, I flipped through the links you sent me yesterday.”

“Anything stand out to you?” Arthur asked as the waiter deposited their food on the table and refilled their water.

Kat waited until the waiter was gone before answering. “Not really.” She shook her head as she lifted her fork. “It was all very informative, though. I feel I have a better idea of what to expect and how to get myself in the right frame of mind for later.”

“Good.” Arthur lifted his fork as well.

“One might even say that’s worth a ‘Good Girl,’ no?” Kat asked with a smirk.

Arthur smirked back. “Good girl.” He told her.

Kat’s face blushed a little as she dropped her eyes to her food, and Arthur started eating with an expression that told everyone around them he was still trying to puzzle out the woman across from him. Kat was cute, and she felt it sometimes, but she wasn’t a total slut like her sister was. Even though she had to admit that she was into Arthur for his body, strength, endurance, and skill more than his conversation. Still, he’d surprised her more than once now with actually having a brain that Kat didn’t expect to find in that head of his. Maybe she had more prejudices than she realized, judging the book of Arthur by its cover.

“So.” Kat said after silently eating for a few minutes. “What are you planning to do about Lynn anyway?”

“What do you mean?” Arthur asked.

“I mean, are you planning on driving her from the house? Adding her to the harem? Or… whatever a third option might be?” Kat asked as she reached for her water.

Arthur coughed. “I hadn’t really thought about it.”

“Really?” Kat asked. “Because Selene is ready to drive her out the minute she moves in. She wants that house completely occupied by you, the harem, and no one else.”

Arthur scoffed. “Well, as fun as that would be, I don’t know how realistic it is.” He frowned. “We’ve got Katelyn moving in to share the bedroom with Kelly, after all. And that still leaves one room unoccupied, so we’ll need to get two more people to move in, hopefully by next semester.”

It was Kat’s turn to scoff. “If you think Selene’s not going to try and recruit Katelyn into the harem, you’re dreaming.”

Arthur chuckled. “Heh. I don’t think it’s going to happen. As it stands, the harem is more than I ever expected to have going for me. Trying to add anyone else to it is pressing my luck and will make it all fall apart.”

Kat nodded. One dominant man with five submissive girlfriends was more than anyone could hope for. Between Selene, the manic pixie dream slut; Mindy, the Korean secretary schoolgirl; Rani, the Indian beauty; Kelly, the wannabe housewife, and herself (the average looking bookish one), all Arthur’s sexual needs should be more than met. Still, it might be good for Katelyn. Her ex-boyfriend Sean had cheated on her, and that could really fuck with anyone’s head. It might be good for her to have a nice, reliable dick to ride to vent some of that frustration and feel safe again. Assuming Arthur could deliver on being reliable and making her feel safe.

“Well, she will suggest it to you at some point.” Kat assured him. “If you decide to add Katelyn to the group, let me talk to her first. We’re friends, and I think I know how to talk to her about it without making it awkward.”

“The whole harem would have to talk about it first.” Arthur reminded her.

“After the harem discusses it, then.” Kat agreed.

Arthur raised an eyebrow. “And how would you talk to her about it?”

Kat rolled her eyes. “She doesn’t need to fall into another relationship right now with some douche, right? She’s going to need to be with someone she can trust. I don’t know if the whole harem thing will be her bag. She might want someone who’s hers and only hers. So she might not agree to join at all and might hate the idea. On the other hand, being in an established, open, poly relationship like what we have going is something you can trust. Everything is out in the open, cards on the table, nobody sneaking around or hiding anything. And if you can help her feel safe to trust again, and deliver a good O every once in a while, then it might be something she’s willing to try. Might be. I can’t make any guarantees, obviously.”

Arthur seemed to think about it for a minute while they ate. She had some good points he hadn’t thought of or considered, but ultimately, he wasn’t looking at increasing the harem anytime soon. He was more worried about keeping what he had than adding more. “I think you’ve thought this out way more than I have.” Arthur chuckled.

“Personally, I blame my sister.” Kat said between swallows. “Her constant verbal fantasizing is starting to affect me, I think.”

Arthur chuckled. “Me too, though in my case, it’s really worked out well for me.”

Kat laughed. “Trust me, no one in the harem expects you to complain any time soon.”

Arthur smirked. He didn’t have the same access to the Harem chat that she did, the conversation between all the girls, but he must have had enough information from the House chat and his private chats with everyone to feel some measure of confidence.

“So… Can we get dessert to go?” Kat asked. “Sir?”

Arthur smiled and nodded as he sped up his eating a little bit. Kat had finished and was ready to box up the rest, but Arthur was clearly more hungry than she was and wanted to finish his plate. Still, when the waiter came by, they ordered the tiramisu to go, and Arthur paid the check despite Kat’s protests that she could pay her half. He’d called her Brat in such a firm warning tone that she blushed a little and looked around to make sure no one else heard it, but they seemed clear.

With the check paid and the food boxed, Arthur carried the bag in one hand and offered his other arm to Kat as they walked out of the restaurant to his car. Once inside and on the way to Arthur’s apartment, Kat spoke up again with another thought.

“You’re going to need a minivan or something.” Kat said as she looked around. “Six of us, seven counting Kate, eight counting Lynn, plus one to two more women in the last bedroom?” Kat looked at the backseat. “We’ll never all fit in here.”

Arthur laughed. “Lynn is never joining the harem. I don’t think anyone else is, either. But… you’re not wrong about getting some kind of van if we’re all carpooling to campus all the time.” He admitted.

“I don’t think you’ll be the one driving if you offer shuttle services.” Kat smirked. “Selene will drag you into the back seat every chance she gets.”

“Can’t say I’d mind that either.” Arthur chuckled. “But someone would have to drive.”

“Guess I’ll brush off my chauffeur hat.” Kat smirked.

“There are a few of us who can drive too. I think we all have our licenses, actually. Maybe we can work out some kind of rotation.” Arthur suggested.

“Sounds fair to me.” Kat said. “I’ll bring it up at the harem meeting.”

“Right. You girls are all getting together tomorrow night without me.” Arthur remembered. “Can’t say that doesn’t make me damn curious.”

Kat scoffed. “Don’t worry. If I know Selene, she’s got a reason and a plan, and you’ll love it, whatever she’s planning.”

“Do you know what she’s planning?” Arthur asked.

“Not a clue more than you.” Kat shrugged. “But knowing her? It’ll be something sexy for you. So don’t worry. I’m sure you’ll find out and get a full report, if not from Selene, then from one of the other girls or even me.”

Arthur nodded. Kat looked at him and noticed he was still paying attention to the road. She let her hand wander over to his thigh and let it rest halfway up, just to see if he would get distracted. When he didn’t, she decided to misbehave a little. She started stroking his thigh, moving her hand up and down in long slow strokes before pushing her hand toward the inside of his thigh and finding his bulge. She felt him twitch beneath her hand and rubbed it for good measure to see if he would squirm.

Arthur had a smirk, but he was still paying attention to the road.

“Are you going to take care of me, or are you trying to tease and rile me up just to be a brat?” Arthur asked.

“I’m not wearing my collar.” Kat pointed out. “So I can do what I want.” She grinned with a hint of mischief. “I just want to see what it would take to distract you.”

Arthur scoffed. “A dangerous game since I’m driving.”

Kat nodded. “I wasn’t planning on holding your attention for long.” She said as her hand left his thigh and moved down her own. She took the hem of her skirt and started dragging it up, showing off her stockings, then the band of the thigh-highs, and then her thigh until it came to the start of her red-lace boy-short panties where she started tugging at the elastic with the hook of her finger, running it from the side of her thigh to between her legs, letting her hand disappear beneath the pleated folds of her gray plaid skirt.

“Such a brat.” Arthur shook his head. “I have half a mind to pull this car over and spank you right here.” He warned.

“Only half a mind?” Kat asked curiously.

“Is that what you want?” Arthur asked. “Because I’ll do it.”

“Why?” Kat asked. “Just because I’m teasing you a little? You can’t wait until we get to your apartment to punish me for being a little bit of a tease?”

Arthur kept his eyes on the road and pushed his lips together. He checked the mirrors and spared a glance at Kat for a second, who smiled in triumph for having drawn his eyes, if only for a second.

“When we get to the apartment, you’re going to regret teasing me.” Arthur warned her. “Now stop it, and let me drive safely, Brat.”

Kat knew it was an empty threat. She’d seen Selene do far more to him and never once break his concentration. He could handle more teasing, even if it was uncomfortable with his dick still in his trousers.

“Poor Master.” Kat teased as she leaned over and rubbed him again through his slacks. “You want me to take you out and relieve you while you drive?”

Arthur glanced at her in the mirror again, recognizing the question for what it was: bait. “If I say yes, are you going to do it?”

Kat giggled. “No.” She patted him through his trousers. “Guess you’ll just have to wait until my collar’s on.”

Arthur exhaled. “It’s like you want me to spank you extra hard tonight.”

“Me?” Kat seemed shocked. “Why? What did I do?” Her acting wasn’t as good as Selene’s, but it was still a cute effort. “I’m a good girl. You said so yourself at the restaurant, remember?”

Arthur laughed. “I take it all back.” He shook his head. “You’re a tease, and when we get to the apartment, I’m going to make you regret teasing me.”

“Promise?” Kat asked with a smirk. “Promise to give it to me extra hard so I’ll remember to be a good girl?”

Arthur tightened his grip on the steering wheel, so it flexed his arm muscles enough to make Kat bite her lip in anticipation. “It’s a promise.” He said sternly. “I promise that as soon as we get to your punishment tonight, you’re going to regret ever teasing me.”

Kat smiled. Not a smirk or a chuckle, but a genuine smile that seemed to spread across her face. She knew Arthur intended to deliver on his promise and was happy about it. She couldn’t always explain why, but she enjoyed it when he stepped up and had to up his game to meet her expectations. She enjoyed pushing him, even though she knew she would pay for it tonight and would need some time and aftercare before she could sit comfortably again.

The rest of the ride home was similar, though Arthur seemed to drive a little faster than usual, with Kat’s hand occasionally teasing him but always resting on his thigh. When he finally parked, he took a deep breath and looked at her before he shook his head.

“Ready?” He asked as he nodded toward the door of his apartment complex.

“I’ve been waiting all day.” Kat assured him as she unbuckled her seatbelt and opened her door. Arthur grabbed the food and headed toward the complex door after locking up the car, with Kat following close behind. He stopped at the mailbox, letting Kat take the steps ahead. She was waiting outside his door by the time he made it to the landing, the bulge in his pants still visible and straining, which made Kat giggle a little.

He opened the front door and nodded for her to step inside.

“Go to the bathroom, even if you don’t think you need to.” Arthur instructed. “Wash your hands, and get ready. Then we’ll get started. Be sure to take out any earrings or jewelry.” He said.

Kat nodded as she watched Arthur head to the kitchen.

When she came out of the bathroom, Arthur had put the food in the fridge, cleared some things away, lit a candle, and laid out a few tools and equipment on the coffee table. She didn’t see him, so she assumed he was in one of the bedrooms. Kat eyed the coffee table briefly but already knew what she would find there. She didn’t expect to see her collar missing from its hook by the door when she looked for it. She checked the locks on the door to ensure they were closed, then stood with her back to his front door and waited for him.

She didn’t have long to wait before Arthur emerged from the bedroom door. She could see past him briefly to see that he’d cleaned some things up and changed the sheets. He worked quickly, it seemed, and the apartment was already starting to smell like vanilla and lavender, which was surprisingly pleasant. Arthur had shed some of his suit clothes already, leaving him shirtless and wearing a pair of gray boxer briefs that clung tightly to him and left very little to her imagination. Kat wet her lips as she watched him step closer to her; her eyes followed the lines of his muscles down from his shoulders, over his pecs, across his abs, and along his Apollo’s belt to the bulge. She swallowed when he lifted her collar.

The pink leather collar was softly padded inside, with stainless steel studs along it and a buckle in the back like a belt. The ring at its center was also stainless steel and well-shined. Kat stood taller when he lifted it and raised her chin as if expecting her to put it on him.

“Are you ready to receive your collar?” Arthur asked. “Do you need anything before we begin? Water? Questions you need answered, anything?”

Kat shook her head. “I’m ready to begin, Sir.” She assured him.

“Very well.” Arthur said. “Remove your clothes.”

Kat looked at him briefly but remembered what he’d put on the agenda. Still, stripping down with him standing a pace away, staring at her like that was a slightly uncomfortable proposition. He looked hungry, and the barest hint of expectation in his gaze suggested he thought she’d balk at the order for some reason. Was he expecting her to give him grief over it? Should she?

She’d known he’d ask her to remove her clothes, and honestly, she wanted to get on with it and get to the good stuff already. Should she show how eager she was by ripping off her clothing quickly? Should she tease him more by stripping it off slowly and building up the tension like she’d teased him in the car? Would that drive him to impatience? Kat wondered how much he could stand before he would start taking the clothes off her instead, and then, she decided to try and find out.

She reached down and crossed her arms in front of herself, grabbing the hem of her blouse and slowly untucking it. She hesitated, looking up at Arthur as he looked down at her eyes. She bit her lip and slowly started drawing her hands up, revealing her pale stomach by fractions of an inch per second. She moved as slowly as she could without making herself uncomfortable and keeping her defiant eyes locked on his the whole time.

“Do you want your collar, or don’t you?” Arthur asked.

“I do.” She assured him. “Sir.” She added.

“Then take off your clothes so you can kneel and receive it, Brat.” Arthur said her name with a hint of impatience, enough that it made Kat smirk to know she was succeeding in driving him crazy. She wanted him to lose a little bit of control, to push back whenever she pushed him, and if it could end with his body pressed against hers, she’d be happier for it.

She continued moving slowly as the hem finally reached her bra line, revealing the red lace bra she wore that matched her panties. It left a large amount of her C-Cup cleavage open to his gaze, but the cups rounded just past her forward-facing nipples to hide them from view in the clever pattern. Arthur closed his eyes in frustration, and Kat’s smirk grew into a smile, slightly hidden by her arms as they and her blouse began to block her view of him.

Finally, the blouse was off, and she offered it to Arthur.

He took it from her and folded it, which surprised Kat, but she didn’t protest. He walked away into the kitchen and returned a moment later. She couldn’t see what he’d done with it, but the shirt wasn’t with him. Had he stuck it in the fridge? She supposed she would find out later, but she didn’t look forward to putting it back on if that was the case. Perhaps that was why he’d done that. A punishment he intended to inflict on her for her slowness.

“Now, the bra.” Arthur commanded.

“I thought I’d take the skirt off next, so you can really get the full effect of the lingerie I picked for you.” Kat said.

Arthur looked surprised but seemed to think about it for a moment. “Fine.” He growled and took a step back. “Unzip the skirt, and let it fall.”

Kat frowned a little. There was no way to remove it slowly if she just let it fall. She’d planned to turn around and peel the skirt off slowly, but if she was just going to let it drop, there was no point. She reached behind her and found the zipper after unlatching the hooks. Then she started tugging at it.

“What’s the matter?” Arthur asked after a few moments without the skirt having fallen.

“It’s stuck.” Kat grimaced. “The zipper’s jammed.”

“Turn around.” Arthur commanded.

Kat obeyed, turning slowly to show him the zipper where it was definitely caught against itself. Arthur pushed the two sides together for a moment, straightened the pull, and then brought it down in one firm movement; opening the skirt, he then released and let it fall over her round ass and hips.

The red lace lingerie Kat had chosen was obviously pleasing to his eye. She watched Arthur over her shoulder as he took a step back and admired her round cheeks coming out from under the boy-short panties, and the red lace did nothing to preserve her modesty when she spun around, and he could make out the trimmed bush beneath.

“Now, the bra.” Arthur said with a nod.

“Yes sir.” Kat smirked, a little happy that he still wanted her to undress. The idea that he liked her naked more than he liked her in lingerie was a happy one. She knew how much he liked lingerie, after all. “And then the panties?”

“You can leave those on for now.” Arthur said. “If you want to.”

Kat turned to face him and reached behind her back from below to unclasp her bra. She slid the straps forward over her shoulders as she shrugged out of it and let it fall to her wrists before catching it and offering it to Arthur. He took it, went to the kitchen again, and returned a second later.

“What did you do with my bra? Stick it in the freezer?” Kat asked, surprised.

“No.” Arthur chuckled. “Though that’s not a bad idea for a punishment one of these days. Making you wear a cold bra.”

Kat shuddered at the idea, but it did nothing to dampen the prominently erect nipples at the end of her tits, which she supported with her arms crossed beneath them, pushing them up in a way she hoped was nonchalant and pleasing. She knew he didn’t like it when she covered herself, and she’d been naked in front of him enough times to be more comfortable with it now.

“So… panties off or on, Sir?” Kat asked.

“Off, if you’re comfortable with that.” Arthur answered.

Kat answered by hooking her thumbs into either side of the waistband and pushing them down until they fell to join the skirt lying around her pink heel-clad feet haphazardly. The white thigh-highs she was still wearing pushed the tops of her thighs out around the band in a way she didn’t like, so she started rolling them down, but Arthur stopped her with his hand.

“Leave those and the heels on for now.” He instructed.

Kat nodded and pulled the one she’d started rolling down back up as she stood back up.

Arthur stepped back and made a show of looking her up and down. “Good girl.” He said in such a tone that it made her blush a little. “Now, are you ready for your collar?” He asked again.

In answer, Kat squatted down and then moved to her knees, moving into the kneel position Selene had shown her. Then she lifted her chin and turned it, offering her neck to him. “Yes, Sir.” She answered. “Please collar your submissive.”

Arthur looked impressed at the submissive gesture. “Nadu.” Arthur reminded her, and she adjusted her position by spreading her legs and turning her palms up. Then he gave her what he asked for. He squatted down in front of her and placed the collar around her throat, buckling it behind her and then, to her surprise, padlocking it with a tiny padlock. He dangled the keys in front of her face and then stood to put them on the hook behind her, the hook by the door where the collar usually rested.

“Do you remember the pledge I sent you?” Arthur asked.

“I think so, Sir.” Kat answered. “I tried to memorize it.”

Arthur looked impressed. “Let’s hear it then.” He said with a “go on” gesture.

“I am your submissive. You are my Sir. I will put Sir’s will before my own and obey him in all things. I am your submissive. You are my Sir. I will openly and honestly communicate with my Sir. I am your submissive. You are my Sir. I will do my best to please my Dom as his submissive. I am your submissive. You are my Sir. I will try new things and trust my Dom to respect my limits. I am your submissive. You are my Sir. I will learn, grow, and follow where my Sir leads me. I am your submissive. You are my Sir. Please, take me at your pleasure, Sir.” Kat recited.

Arthur clapped slowly, impressed that she’d memorized it all. Well, much of it was repetitive, but still. It was an impressive feat he hadn’t expected her to accomplish. He’d actually planned on punishing her for any missteps or failures, but except for an added please, she’d recited it precisely as he’d given it to her. That was nothing to punish her for. Luckily, or unluckily for her, there were other reasons to punish her they would soon address.

“Good girl.” Arthur praised her again. “Now stand.”

She obeyed, carefully coming to her feet one at a time. Arthur held his hand out to help her if she needed it, but she wanted to do it alone and succeeded. He nodded his approval once she stood, looped his finger through the ring at the front of her throat, and pulled her toward the coffee table. She stepped quickly to follow, though the walk was three steps at most, before he tugged her so she was facing the coffee table from above.

“Do you see these?” Arthur asked as he pointed to a pair of alligator nipple clamps on the table.

“Yes, Sir.” Kat answered.

“And what are they?” Arthur asked.

“Nipple clamps, Sir.” Kat responded, slightly confused as to why he was asking that.

“Do you have any objections to my using them tonight?” Arthur asked as he stood back up.

“No, Sir.” Kat shook her head. “I don’t object to anything on the table, Sir.”

Arthur raised an eyebrow at her, but instead of arguing, he merely asked her a question. “Do you recognize everything on the table to know whether you should object to it?” He asked.

Kat looked over the items he’d laid out on the table. The nipple clamps were already pointed out, the rabbit vibrator looked fun, and the other insertable vibe on the table looked new, but she had no objections; the ring and ball gags were fine. The bundles of rope were easy enough to spot, and the soft cotton wouldn’t cause her any problems. The paddle would be rough, but she could handle it. She knew the riding crop would sting, but she was confident she could handle that too.

“A lot of spanking in the plans tonight then, Sir?” She teased.

“Well, between lying to me yesterday about your jealousy and teasing me tonight, I figured something on this table would have to teach you a lesson.” Arthur explained. “Do you object?”

Kat seemed to think it over for a moment. “No butt plugs?”

“Did you want butt plugs? Or are you saying you don’t want butt plugs in the form of a question?” Arthur asked.

“I just… I wasn’t sure if you’d want to try any of that tonight.” Kat explained. “I’m open to it if you want to.”

Arthur raised an eyebrow. “Have you done that kind of thing before?”

Kat blushed. “I… tried one the other day.” She answered. “Selene thought we should prepare ourselves in case you wanted to….” She hesitated to say it.

“Go on.” Arthur said, enjoying her blush a little more than he probably should.

“In case you wanted to make good on your threat to fuck our asses, Sir.” Kat answered.

Arthur smirked. He hadn’t intended to try that tonight after his failure with Selene. Rani had proved herself capable, and Mindy, but as far as he knew, Selene and Kat were still new to it. Plugs, however, weren’t a bad idea. He went into the bedroom and returned with a series of them and some lube, placing them on the table.

“Point to the size you’ve used before.” Arthur instructed.

When Kat obeyed, he removed it and the smaller ones, leaving only the next size up and larger on the table.

“Okay.” Arthur said. “No objections then?”

“No objections, Sir.” Kat answered.

“Good.” Arthur nodded. “And do you remember your safe words?”

“Yellow light to slow down or back off, and red light to stop.” Kat answered. “Right?”

“Correct.” Arthur smiled. “I’ll check in as we go as well, just to make sure you’re okay with some of the tighter ties I have planned.”

“Yes, Sir.” Kat nodded.

“And your SOS signal if your mouth is full?” Arthur asked.

“Uh… three beats, noises, or taps in a row?” Kat asked, uncertain.

“Okay. Now move to the center of the open floor over there.” Arthur pointed to the other half of the living room. The other half wasn’t furnished, really. It might have had space for another sofa along the wall next to the door, but since there was already a sofa toward the outside wall, Arthur had never bothered to get a second one. Instead, the wall was blank except for the hooks they’d installed in it. The other three walls were also empty except for the doorways leading to the bathroom and the two bedrooms, respectively. That left an open square of carpet just next to the tv, leaving half the living area unfurnished, but perfect for playing games like this.

Kat stepped carefully in her heels, coming to a stop near where she judged the center, and turned to face Arthur, who stood by the coffee table watching her.

“Display.” Arthur commanded.

Kat moved into the position, reaching her hands behind her head and lacing her fingers against her curls as she spread her legs to shoulder width, exposing herself to Arthur’s hungry eyes as they roamed her body. She watched him bend and pick up the nipple clamps from the coffee table with the chain between them. Kat held her breath as he gently placed them on her tits and exhaled as he released the knobs to close them tighter against her erect nipples. The chain hung in an arc between her breasts a few inches away from her stomach, which she did her best not to be self-conscious about.

It wasn’t that she was an overweight woman or that she had a particular round stomach. She was athletic and kept herself healthy, but she did not have the definition her sister did, or Kelly, for that matter. Her skin was smooth, her hips, butt, and breasts were round, and her curves were thicker than Selene’s. Without her heels, she would have been even shorter.

As it was, she stood more than an entire foot shorter than Arthur. She looked down to see the chain hanging there, suspended away from her body by her breasts. Looking up, she saw Arthur watching her as if waiting for some reaction. When she gave none, he seemed to move on.

“And now we come to the review portion of the evening.” Arthur explained. “You’ve already shown me Kneel, Nadu, and Display this evening. Let’s see if you really did the reading….” From his tone, she guessed that he didn’t actually doubt her, but it was good to know he’d be quizzing her on the assignments he gave. It would help motivate her next time beyond her curiosity and hunger for more of this.

“Table.” Arthur instructed.

Kat moved to her hands and knees carefully. The chain between her breasts swung low and brushed the top of the soft carpet. She swallowed but kept her neck straight and her eyes down at the spot between her hands.

“Good girl.” Arthur stroked her back either in praise or checking to see how straight and flat she kept it. “Stool.”

This position was harder for Kat. She wasn’t as flexible or as used to yoga as her sister was, and the clamps pressed into her when her breasts pressed against her knees, so she adjusted a few times before she realized she couldn’t find a comfortable version of it.

She ended up in the correct position, more or less, sitting back on her heels bent over her thighs with her elbows on the floor beside her knees and her forearms stretched forward with her head tilted up to flatten her back. It was an awkward position, and it didn’t feel good with the clamps, so she was thankful when Arthur said, “Good girl.” then, “Wait.”

She stood without help and spread her legs again. This time, instead of lacing her hands behind her head, she crossed her wrists behind her back and stuck her chin out proudly, presenting her breasts for his viewing pleasure.

“What are you, and who am I?” Arthur asked as he started to circle around Kat. She noticed the riding crop in his hand that he’d picked up from the table while she demonstrated the positions, but she didn’t protest. She knew after the review came punishments, but it seemed they were still reviewing. Still, the question confused her for a moment, but only a moment.

“I am your submissive, and you are my Sir.” She answered.

Arthur smiled, which made Kat blush for reasons she couldn’t explain. “Very good.” He said. “You get an A on today’s quiz. You’re a very good girl.”

She blushed again, but she felt the heat all over her body rise when Arthur accompanied the compliment by placing his hand on the back of her head and stroking his fingers along her scalp. She swallowed, and her breathing seemed to quicken at his touch. She closed her eyes, but the feeling did not remain for very long.

“Did I earn a reward?” Kat asked. If Arthur had expected her to forget the offer of rewards or punishments for how well she did in the review, he would always be disappointed.

“You did.” Arthur assured her as he stroked her again, letting his hand pet her from the back of her scalp, down her neck and back, and to the round heart-shaped cheeks of her ass, which he gently squeezed. “You have earned an orgasm.” Arthur explained. “So you may cum the next time you’re on the brink.”

“I could do that anyway.” Kat pointed out. “I’m not the same as.”

“No.” Arthur cut her off. “While you’re in that collar, your body is mine. Your pleasure is mine.” His voice was low and almost threatening. “Your orgasms are mine to give or deny tonight, as I see fit, and I have decided that you have earned one. Do you understand?”

Kat pressed her lips together as though she were contemplating defiance, but one look at his face and one glance at the riding crop in his hand told her she needed to pick a better moment. For now, she would comply. “Yes, Sir.”

“What are you?” Arthur asked.

“I am your submissive, Sir.” Kat answered automatically.

“Good girl.” Arthur smiled down at her. He took a deep breath and then moved in front of her. “Now, do you remember what you’ve done to earn your punishments tonight?”

Kat shook her head. “No sir. I’m a good girl; you said so yourself.”

Arthur smirked. “Very well, I will remind you.” He stepped closer, so she was forced to tilt her chin up to continue looking into his eyes. She didn’t back up or lose her balance, even as his body gently pressed against hers. She immediately felt it as his torso pressed against the clamps on her breasts, and she bit her lip at the feeling. It didn’t hurt like she expected, but she could feel it all the same, and the stimulation it provided drew the blood to her pinched nipples, which were sensitive to the weirdly pleasant feeling of the pressure on them now coming from all directions.

“Yesterday morning, when you were upset, and I asked you if you were upset about something, what did you do?” Arthur asked rhetorically.

“I told you everything was fine.” Kat admitted.

“Which was a….” Arthur prompted.

“A lie.” Kat would have nodded if her head hadn’t been tilted so far back to look up at Arthur.

Arthur reached over her shoulder and gripped the hair on the back of her head by its roots. She went a little weak in the knees as a response as she shuddered at the feeling, but Arthur’s other hand reached around to her back and steadied her, keeping her upright and pressing her against him even more as his thigh pressed between her legs.

“So you…” Arthur prompted again.

“I lied to you.” Kat admitted.

“And who am I?” Arthur asked.

“You are my Sir.” Kat answered automatically.

“And should you lie to your Sir? Is that what is written in our contract?” Arthur asked.

“No, Sir.” Kat tried to shake her head, but Arthur’s grip restrained it to a much smaller movement as she felt the tug against her scalp tighten by the squeeze of his grip alone.

“Do you deserve to be punished for lying to your Sir?” Arthur asked.

Kat knew the answer he was looking for, of course, and for a moment, she thought about denying him the satisfaction, but she knew that would only make it worse. Beyond that, he was right. She had it coming for lying to him, and she should have known better. It was not a mistake she intended to make again. Their relationship, the entire harem, really, was founded on honesty. It had to be.

“Yes, Sir.” Kat answered after a moment. “Please, punish your submissive brat for lying to you so I will learn not to do it again.” She wasn’t sure what prompted her to offer all that, but she felt it was the right thing to say. She was getting into it, or at least starting to feel like she could play along with the roleplay bit of this complicated game. She wondered how long that would last once the spanking began.

Kat liked spankings more than she would ever be willing to admit to Arthur. She didn’t want him to only ever spank her, though. She only wanted spankings when she deserved them. They were special. Selene might be willing to bend over and take a beating on the backside whenever Master, Arthur, wanted to paddle someone, but Kat didn’t want that. She wanted it to be unique, a special event between them. The idea of someone watching him punish her made her flush with heat.

Typically, she didn’t mind watching Arthur with Selene or potentially with one of the other harem members. She got off on watching and being watched, for that matter. At least when it came to fucking or sucking. Knowing Selene was probably peeking through the crack in the door and getting off on watching her and her ex had been extremely hot and made her cum harder than she otherwise did. Watching Selene fuck Arthur out in the open or getting fucked by Arthur while Selene held her hand? It multiplied that feeling by a thousand.

Still, tonight, she was glad it was just her and Arthur the way it had been for their first discussion. She felt freer to get into things without her sister there goading her on, and she didn’t have to worry that Selene would carry things too far or press her into doing something Kat didn’t want.

As hot as watching or being watched by Selene was, the idea of doing anything to her sister sexually, fingering, kissing, etc., was a huge turn-off. To be fair, so was the idea of doing that kind of thing with one of the other girls. Kat was straight. She could appreciate female beauty and sexuality, sure, but she didn’t want to fuck any of them. She was nervous Arthur or Selene might press her about it in the future, but she hoped they would respect her boundaries. Well, Arthur would, or he would lose her as a submissive.

Arthur had so far been respectful of the boundaries they discovered together. He’d lightened up on the spanks the last time she’d used her yellow light safe word once he found the limit for how hard she could take them. This was different, though. Those were playful slaps on the ass while he pounded her from behind. A hot memory that made her bite her lip subconsciously.

These spankings weren’t designed for stimulation or pleasure. They were meant to hurt. Meant to punish her for lying.

“And you earned a punishment tonight as well.” Arthur informed her. “For all the teasing in the car.”

“Not sorry.” Kat said defiantly. She figured this was the less serious offense, and thus it was much safer to play her mock defiance against his authority. “I thought you would enjoy me touching you like that.”

Arthur smirked. “You should finish what you start.” He informed her. “And you should listen when I tell you no.”

“You didn’t use a safeword.” Kat informed him. “I thought it was part of the game.”

That made Arthur pause momentarily, and he looked at her as if trying to gauge her sincerity. She might have tried to act that way, but she couldn’t hold the expression under inspection and gave a soft giggle as she smiled.

Arthur shook his head. “Such a brat.”

“Your brat. Sir.” Kat reminded him. “I don’t deserve a punishment for that, do I? Couldn’t I just finish what I started?” She tried to glance down, but he was standing too close for her to move her head that much, the grip on her hair, didn’t even need to tighten before she realized he wouldn’t let her stop looking up at him just yet.

“My brat.” Arthur chuckled. “Mine to punish or reward.” He reminded her. “Now. I want you to tell me why you deserve punishment. Both reasons, as we’ve discussed them. State them clearly and plainly, then ask me, beg me, to punish you.” He said as he turned the crop in his hand and pressed it between her legs, pulling up on it so that it put pressure on her lower lips.

Kat swallowed. She looked up into his eyes, and knowing that he was serious, she had to decide whether or not to push him a little. Kat decided not to. She remembered the implements on the table and the riding crop she could feel. She didn’t think he’d spank her where it was nestled, but she didn’t want to find out either. At least, not without some warm-up.

Kat took a deep breath, causing her breasts to rise and press against him and flooding her nipples with a sensation of pleasure mingled with pain that made her cut the breath short into a gasp as she jolted a bit, held firmly in place by Arthur.

“I deserve my punishment for lying to you, Sir.” Kat said quietly. “And for teasing you.” She added after a moment. “Please, Sir, punish me?” She asked. “Teach me to only ever tell you the truth.” She said thoughtfully. “And teach me to finish what I start.”

Arthur smiled down at her, and it took her a second to realize what he was doing as his face drew closer to hers. He kissed her, and for a moment, she went rigid in surprise, but then she melted against the kiss and started kissing back, eagerly, hungrily, suddenly realizing how turned on she was by all of it and wanting to turn that kiss into so much more.

Instead, Arthur pulled away and let her go. She immediately straightened her head again and saw him walking toward the coffee table. The riding crop he’d carried hung from a loop around his left wrist. She eyed it cautiously but watched as Arthur moved past the coffee table and returned with a chair from the kitchen.

She eyed him cautiously as he stepped forward. He placed the chair in front of her and then sat on it. He spread his legs and then patted his left thigh.

“I want this to be intimate.” Arthur explained. “You’re going to sit, straddling my thigh, and I’ll spank you on the ass.” He explained. “I’ll hug you with my left arm, keeping you steady and secure. Spanking you with my right. With each spank, I want you to assure me that you will only ever tell me the truth after you hear me tell you the count. Understand?”

Kat nodded and stepped forward. It sounded complicated, but breaking it down into steps, it was only the first few that really required action on her part.

“First.” Arthur stopped her. “Bring me the paddle. I want you to pick it up off the coffee table, kneel in front of me with it, and offer it to me. When you do that, I want you to tell me again why you deserve this punishment and ask me to punish you. This will be our ritual whenever you’ve earned a formal punishment. Got all that?” Arthur asked.

Kat nodded. “Yes, Sir.” She said.

She stepped around him to the coffee table and picked up the leather paddle. It was heavier than she expected, but she made no protest as she stepped back around in front of him, his legs spread extra wide. Kat knelt before him, bowed her head, and lifted the paddle in her hands, raising it toward him as high as she could in the awkward position.

“I deserve punishment for lying to you, Sir, and for teasing you. Please punish me, Sir. Please teach me to be honest with you. Please teach me to finish what I start.” She recited with a soft, coy tone that she could see affected him. She was almost smiling when she said it but did her best to keep it back.

Arthur took the paddle from her hands and laid it on his right thigh, patting his left to indicate for her to sit on it. “Very well.” Arthur said. “Sit here, and receive your punishment.”

Kat gulped but stood and then lowered herself over Arthur’s left thigh. She was tentative about sitting on him, but Arthur adjusted her to where he wanted her.

“Hands on my shoulders.” Arthur instructed as he pressed her forward so that she was straddling his thigh and leaning forward with only her toes on the ground and her knees bent like she was riding a motorcycle. Arthur pulled her a little closer, sliding her up his thigh, which felt surprisingly arousing, and forced her to bend her elbows until her lips were close to his cheek.

She kissed his cheek. “Thank you, Sir.” She whispered in advance.

The thanks seemed to surprise Arthur, but judging by the press of his bulge against her thigh, he appreciated it.

“Are you ready?” Arthur asked.

Kat adjusted her position slightly, ensuring she wouldn’t fly off his leg when he struck her behind. She swallowed, then nodded. “Yes, Sir.” She said quietly since his ear was so close to her mouth. He must have heard her well because the first spank came almost immediately as she felt his palm strike her square on her right cheek. She blushed a little and felt the blood start to move to her backside.

“One.” Arthur counted.

“I will only tell you the truth.” Kat recited.

The second spank struck her left cheek, and so on. Arthur alternated which cheek he struck, the blows consistent in strength, rubbing her naked lower lips against his thigh with each impact. Each time he gave the count, and each time Kat informed him she would only tell him the truth. It became more than a recitation as they went, with each blow driving home just how important it was to tell him the truth. She knew she had to. She knew, however, deep down, that she wouldn’t lie to him again about anything if she could help it.

“Twenty-five.” Arthur said.

Kat swallowed. “I will only tell you the truth.”

She expected another spanking, but Arthur ran his hand over her ass cheeks in a firm but gentle motion that felt amazing against the blush of heat on her backside. He rubbed her gently, soothing the pain that came with the mild sting from each spank of his hand. She was hot and wet between her legs, rubbing against him as the blows came down, and she had closed her eyes some time ago to block out the rest of the world and focus purely on what she was feeling between all of that and the still constant pressure against her nipples from the clamps.

“That was twenty-five with my hand.” Arthur informed her. “Now that you’re warmed up, I’m going to use the paddle.”

Kat nodded. “Thank you, Sir.” She kissed his cheek and leaned forward a little, pressing her breasts against his torso and flooding her body with sensation again. “I deserve to be punished for lying to you and teasing you, Sir. Please, punish your bratty submissive girl. Punish me. Teach me not to lie, not to tease you. To tell you the truth, to finish what I start.”

She felt him hug her with his left arm while she said it and twitched slightly at the sensations building in her breasts and groin. She almost groaned at it but held it back, turning it into a gasp as the paddle fell straight across both cheeks and jiggled her forward, causing the sensations to rebound. She cried out in something unintelligible, but it was not a cry of pain or pleasure. It was both and neither. The pure sensation that drove everything from her mind but the feeling itself. She bit down on her lip harder than she intended to but still recited what she was supposed to say after Arthur counted out twenty-one.

“I will only tell you the truth.” Kat promised him.

The other spanks with the paddle passed in the same way, with each one driving her into him and causing her to close her eyes and bite her lip tightly in pleasure with gasps, moans, and cries, pushing the tears into her eyes. Her breathing was ragged by the time he counted out “Thirty-five.” And by the time he reached “Thirty-nine.” She was desperate, wiggling her hips a little to drive herself toward relief.

“Stop that.” Arthur instructed.

“Or what?” Kat gasped. “You’ll spank me harder?”

Arthur gripped her more tightly in his left arm, restraining her only slightly since it was well above her hips. The next spank with the paddle was much harder than the last and drove her forward with a sharp cry that was accompanied by tears, yet she made no protest nor attempt to get away and had not used her safeword. Arthur seemed encouraged by this as he counted out forty, and she whimpered her response to only tell him the truth.

-SMACK- The paddle struck her across the rear and drove her into him again. The hands she’d placed on his shoulders moved around him and squeezed him close, pressing her clamped tits against him in a way that might have been uncomfortable for him but only served to increase the feelings in her body. The strike’s force increased with each one, bringing her ever closer to the edge.
