Chapter 82

Getting out of bed Friday morning was tough -- partly because I'd had a lot of sex, and partly because there were two sets of arms and two sets of lips and two sets of a lot of other nice things that didn't want me to. Neither of them was apparently used to getting up at six a.m., either. I pried myself loose and went off to shower, telling them that I would want coffee when I came out; I would teach someone how to lay out a uniform properly at some point, but not now...

Clean and dry, I dressed -- with too much assistance, really -- got my coffee and headed for my office for the early session, promising to return to collect my new family for breakfast in an hour and a half. Vera called and we organized the meeting with Fulmala and the Kapahus for after breakfast and the children were off to school.

Collecting the children was a three-ring circus, it seemed -- but it probably was just the fact that I wasn't used to it. Myra and Carol had everyone headed in the right direction shortly -- and if it was not in an organized military fashion, progress was at least rapid; the children were hungry. I found myself holding little Magadhi's hand -- at her insistence. She didn't say anything -- she just came to me and put out her hand, looking up at me with those big urchin's eyes of hers. Halfway there, I stooped to pick her up and Myra motioned for me to place her on my hip -- which worked perfectly.

Lieutenant Harper's opening comment was "Holy shit!" Then half of his concubines intermixed themselves with the children and helped Carol and Myra ensure that everyone ate properly. Oliver Hopkins looked on in amusement and said, "Vera is already with the rest of your candidates... You've taken on a bit, haven't you?"

"I'm making a belated effort at obtaining quality," I related. "I'm tired of eye-candy. Actually, Vera taught me about that." Oliver just nodded.

We got through breakfast with a lot less disruption than I expected; Myra and Carol were better organized than I gave them credit for. Then the vast majority of the brood headed off to classes, while the adults returned to my quarters.

We decided to do the test drives in an interview suite, so once Myra and Carol and the girl were dropped off, I headed for the one we'd identified; I had a busy morning and only so much time for even something this important. Vera let me in; everyone was lined up, kneeling at attention. "Relax," I said, waving -- but no one seemed inclined to change positions. I swept the three of them with my gaze and offered, "You have beautiful children."

Winona and Fulmala smiled -- Fulmala without managing to look up at me -- and Daniel looked eased, so I followed up. "The boys are clearly intelligent and well-behaved -- and Magadhi has apparently adopted me." That got me a startled glance from Fulmala. I worked on presenting an encouraging smile while I examined the trio.

The women were beautiful, each in her own way. Fulmala wasn't thin, but she would be the thinnest of my women; she wasn't fat, either. She had low-slung breasts -- that is, they were of a type that would never be high-riders at their size. They were -- long, maybe, sweeping down and out from her chest like oblong balloons; they were designed to be milk-filled bladders and it showed. That didn't keep them from being VERY pleasant to look at. Fulmala had wide hips under a relatively narrow waist with just a bit of belly fat and I knew from the frontal that when I circled her there would be a very nice ass back there, just big enough to be plush. Winona dwarfed her, of course, but everything was to scale for her size, from the breasts that were wide cones only slightly deformed by gravity, well-anchored on her large chest, to her huge hands -- as big as mine, at least, but definitely feminine. Winona was... smooth. There wasn't a sharp edge on her anywhere, but everything was perfect -- just enough and not too much. She was a large scale statue of a nude by a famous sculptor, kneeling there.

I shifted my attention to Daniel; the man was a young Polynesian god. Fortunately, I didn't have to compete with him -- because it would have been impossible on my best day. I walked over and stood gazing down at him. "All things being equal, the only concerns I have are over you."

"I know," he replied, looking up at me.

"Should I BE concerned?" I asked.

He hung his head. "I honestly don't know."

I grimaced; if he'd said no, I could have glossed over things -- and if they turned out to be a problem, we could have dealt with it later. But he didn't know -- and he admitted it -- and that meant I had to do things that I found repugnant in order to find out... "That's a problem. I'm not an abuser, but in order to test your reactions, I may have to go places I normally wouldn't."

Daniel flicked a glance at Winona. "We've spoken of it."

"We need to know..." I was disgusted with myself already, and I'd done nothing. "Move around front where you can see what I'm doing. I'll come back to you."

To put things off, I went over to Fulmala. Standing behind her, I collected her thick black hair, running it through my fingers, then caressed her cheek. She shuddered; I ran my hands over her neck and her upper back, then pressed my erection against her neck as I bent to collect her breasts. "These are beautiful, "I whispered. "In fact, everything about you is beautiful." I squatted and slid my hands over her belly; it fluttered. "I've had beauty before -- maybe not your particular flavor, but several others. I need more. Do you find me attractive?"

"Yes." It was a gasp.

"Are you sure?"

Fulmala took my hand and pulled it down between her spread legs; she was soaked. I ran my fingers between her nether lips and circled her firmly erect clitoris and she shivered and gasped, clutching my arm to make sure it went nowhere while she apparently had a small orgasm! She relaxed after a moment and turned her head to suckle my exposed neck. She whispered something so softly that I couldn't hear her, as close as I was. "What?"

"Take me. Please..." She wasn't talking about becoming my concubine -- she was talking about sex!

"I have urgent business," I whispered back, rubbing her nether lips with one hand and fondling her left nipple with the other, "Can you accept this for now? Enjoy it and I will come back for you. You want to be mine, then?"

"Please?" she begged, clutching my wrist to her lower belly.

"Are you always like this?"

"You make me..." She seemed to struggle for words, then she shivered and moaned and her eyes rolled up in her head as she convulsed -- and her pussy clenched and sucked at my finger and wet my hand with her juices.

I waited until she relaxed and drew a breath and supplied, "Hot?"

"Yes." A fresh blush darkened skin already retaining the pink hue from her orgasm that underlay her dark coloration. "Very, very hot."

I'd seen enough. "AI."

"Earl Howard?" The AI did not present my rank as it normally would, aware of my requirement to keep that secret.

"I offer this woman, Fulmala, my sponsorship."

"Fulmala --"

"I accept!"

At some point, I might have to ask the AI her last name -- not that it was necessarily relevant. I kissed her ear. "Relax. I'll be back. Know that what I'm about to do with the Kapahus is likely not my normal behavior." Fulmala nodded and reluctantly released my hands.

I stood and turned to Winona and Daniel, who had been watching avidly. "Are you ready, then? Winona, it isn't enough that you bravely suffer my attentions; if you can't enjoy things that I mean for you to enjoy, then we're wasting our time. That is YOUR test -- being genuine with me and showing me your nature. Daniel's test is dealing with it." I turned to Daniel, "I intend to offer her pleasure and see how she handles it -- and how you handle having her pleasured by another man before your eyes -- and then I may become a bit brutal -- again, to see how you react to her being used instead of made love to. At no point do I intend her harm. You should be aware that the position you are interviewing for offers the compensation of the use of three other women to replace what I take from Winona; that may or may not help you to get through this." I turned to Winona, "That reminds me, should I be testing you? What will be your reaction to watching Daniel sex another woman?"

Winona looked surprised. "I'll be fine..." There was no confidence in her voice, though.

"I see we'll need to do more, here. Fulmala..." I snapped my fingers. "Give him fellatio -- suck his cock." Fulmala was mildly surprised, but she got up and went to kneel before Daniel -- making one problem obvious. "Daniel, seat yourself in that chair," I directed, pointing. "At this point, I guess that if you get out of it without my permission, you will have failed." We took a moment to rearrange ourselves; I settled Winona and myself to Daniel's right front as he sat in the chair, in a location that allowed Winona to watch as Fulmala diffidently sucked in Daniel's cock. We were side-on to Daniel so he could see everything I did to Winona -- which started with having her unpack my erection and begin fellating me. Neither woman was polished at fellatio the way Myra and Carol were; I attributed this to Fulmala's shyness and the fact that gentle Daniel had probably never demanded it of Winona. Nonetheless, Winona was offering a creditable effort and it appeared to me that Fulmala was, too. "Use her," I told Daniel. "Teach her what you like -- what feels good." I did similar with Winona, gently guiding her where I wanted her; she voluntarily attempted to get me into her throat, after which I started pressing the matter. Daniel watched me like a hawk, but continued to manipulate Fulmala. Both of them began to gag and choke -- but neither of us was forcing things constantly, so they just drooled a lot -- until Winona suddenly ducked her head and my cock slid in deep. She swallowed around my length instinctively, bringing a wash of pleasure as her throat clutched my length, before I popped back out, having been caught by surprise. Daniel, who'd been watching closely, actually sat back, satisfied that Winona was unhurt, and eased up on Fulmala -- but Fulmala grabbed his big hand and put it on the back of her head, clearly wanting him to force her to do what Winona had succeeded in doing. Winona, watching out of one eye, gave a little grunt. I smiled to myself; I was learning things, here. Winona WAS a bit jealous -- and Fulmala was both dedicated and a bit submissive, it seemed.

We went on with this for another minute or so, with Winona duplicating her feat three or four times, but Fulmala not managing despite sincere effort, before I released Winona and stepped back; I wasn't there for a blowjob. "Help me out of my uniform," I directed. Winona nodded and attacked the quick-release fasteners on my ship boots. I flicked a glance at Vera, who was hanging out in the background, and had the AI hook us up on comm so I could subvocalize, 'I need to outperform Daniel...'

'I sized him up, but I didn't change his response,' Vera replied. 'Hang on...' She went through the medical data -- or rather, had the AI do it. 'You shouldn't have a problem. I didn't give him quite what you've got for size, and your control should be far superior to his. I don't think he and Winona tried out his new dick last night after I left -- but yours would be the biggest she's ever had in any case, even if they did. Unless she catches you off-guard in some way, you'll probably outdo Daniel on a first pass by thirty or forty percent when it comes to staying power. Worst case, the AI says we could joggle his elbow...'

'I'll take what I can get,' I replied. I really didn't want to know how much the AIs could intervene in a sex act in progress -- that was beyond anything I wanted to know. Then I had second thoughts... 'What about control of fertility? His or Fulmala's?'

There was a pause while Vera and the AI discussed it. 'Fulmala is easier to control -- and is not anywhere close to ovulation, anyway -- but in an emergency, the AI could trigger Daniel's onboard nannites to seek out and destroy his entire sperm load. That might take a few minutes, but it is possible -- and temporary; I know it sounds like permanent sterility, but we're talking only the current crop.'

'Okay. It's not an issue, though, right? I want to incite Winona a bit using loose talk about impregnation.'

'No, she's nowhere near mid-cycle,' Vera confirmed.

'Thanks.'

At that point, having gotten nude in the interim, I squatted behind Winona and began an exploration similar to the one I'd performed on Fulmala. Daniel sat watching me, letting Fulmala continue to cycle on his cock without guidance. I stopped and stood up and waved for Daniel to stop Fulmala. "Okay, I think we need to move and adjust the rules. Sorry if I'm confusing people, but I'm winging this. Let's see if we can find a side room with a couple of beds or a padded floor or something in it." I took Winona by the hand and pulled her to her feet and waved Daniel forward; he nodded and gently detached Fulmala, who was apparently totally involved in her efforts at fellatio, and stood to follow, holding the Indian woman by the forearm.

As it turned out, there was a 'playroom' with heavily padded flooring and three big beds off the main room. I led the other three in and stopped them all inside. Gathering a breath, I said, "Okay, let's kind of go over the expectations, here. Does anyone remember swinging? I'm assuming that you and Daniel never participated, Winona -- am I correct?"

"Yes," Winona nodded. "I know what it is, but..."

"Okay, good," I said, gathering them all with my eyes. "Swinging requires -- well, tolerance, I guess. You need to be comfortable enough in your relationship that watching your mate loudly enjoying sex with someone else isn't a serious problem for you. If we all come together..." I stopped, then started again. "I guess that kind of tolerance would be the minimum that would get you through this. It's probably not the objective, but it is a start. If you two trust one another enough to be able to have sex with us and let go and enjoy it AND not get all excited about your mate ALSO letting go and enjoying it, that will get you through the interview and into the family. But it isn't what I'm going to want, long-term. I do NOT want to destroy your intimate relationship with each other, but I DO want you both to add OTHER relationships to the one you have. I want you to develop relationships with me and with my other concubines -- loving, romantic, sharing relationships. We're to be a family, and share ourselves physically and emotionally. Am I making sense thus far?"

Both of the Kapahus nodded warily. "Okay, so, one difference here is that all three of you have to shift focus to me. That means Daniel continues to be important to you, but I come first. Similarly, I come first to Daniel -- but the focus is slightly different in that he has to relinquish both himself and you in order to place my needs and desires first. That's a sacrifice, for both of you -- I recognize that. I believe that I'm a benevolent despot; I don't intend to rub Daniel's nose in the fact that I come first any more than is absolutely necessary. But there are some... well, givens, I guess. Winona's next child will come from me. The one after that may not be, but it's what she's here for. You'll likely get in a couple more, Daniel, but she's here to breed with me. In compensation, I offer the opportunity to have children with my other concubines -- again, a limited opportunity, as the genes everyone wants propagated are mine, but I offer it, because I think it is the right thing to do. Ultimately, I want each of you to learn to share yourself and your mate with the rest of us, after the fashion of a generally open marriage. Have I lost anyone?"

"No." Daniel shook his head. I shifted my attention to Winona and she did, too.

"A lot of this is attitude," I continued. "This can be a bitter pill -- or an opportunity to create something larger than what we have. In some ways, it's the old, 'is the glass half-empty or half-full?' question. You have to make up your mind about it. For now, today, this test, I will accept the two things I mentioned before -- that you release yourself to enjoy the acts we are going to enter into, and that you deal rationally with the fact that your mate is enjoying his or herself without reservation. I realize that relationships are not born in a moment. Are we clear? Can we move forward?" The Kapahus nodded cautiously. "All right, then. The next act is simple. I'm going to take Winona and put her on that bed and make love to her, the intent being to get her to orgasm multiple times while getting seriously intimate and romantic and sloppy like she hasn't been with anyone but you, Daniel. Your mission is to do the same with Fulmala; I want you to do your best to make her fall in love with you while doing your best to make a baby in her. Each of you is to give one hundred percent to your partner and not get overwrought about the fact that your mate or your mate's sex partner is loudly declaiming how great it all is. When the women are both pregnant, we've done our jobs. Ready?"

"P-pregnant?" Fulmala uttered the word, but all three faces reflected the same thought.

"Pregnant," I confirmed. "The AIs have altered your menstrual cycles -- you're both going to come up pregnant. It's your job to have babies -- and ours to implant them." This was a bald-faced lie -- I was upping the ante. "Think of it as an incentive to become emotionally dependent upon the father of your child. Come, Winona..." I tugged her after me; she stumbled, twice, en route to the bed. Once beside it, I pulled her head down and began to kiss her. She started out with her hands out, avoiding the clinch, but I whispered, "Come on, Dear, you knew we were going to do this..." I caressed her back and her ass as she slowly relaxed and wrapped her arms around me.

Turning her -- something not that simple, given her size -- I checked the other couple; they were standing there, holding hands, watching us, more or less agape. "Is there something wrong with Fulmala?" I asked.

Daniel looked down at Fulmala. "No..." Then he looked up. "Enjoy yourself, my kole. I want to hear your cries of pleasure. Do not hold back," he told Winona.

"I want to hear the harmony in Fulmala's cries of joy, my ipo," Winona said solemnly. "She deserves some joy." Daniel nodded solemnly and turned, lifting Fulmala against him with his huge hands. Fulmala gave a little shriek and wrapped her legs around him as he attacked her lips. I turned back to Winona, who gazed into my eyes and said, "I am ready now..." and brought her lips to mine.

I had to lay her out on the bed to be able to assume a dominant position; I'm husky and muscular, and even a bit barrel-chested, in line with the age that I project -- but where I'm a bear, she's a young female grizzly, towering two inches over me. Flat on her back, though, she was mine to control, and I covered her with my body and worked on her, working on a gentle approach of kisses and caresses and nibbling and sucking at her neck and ears while gently fondling her breasts. It was a seduction, rather than just a collection of what was mine. I had two reasons for this; I wanted her to enjoy the encounter and to put a start on a relationship, and I wanted to see how Daniel handled Winona's reactions if I was successful and she got into it -- and me. It was one thing if I just climbed on her and fucked her -- and another if I got her hot and she begged for it.

We had been at it for a few minutes when I realized that the noises Fulmala was making were louder than they had been and looked up to see Daniel standing over us, looking down. He was still cradling Fulmala's ass in his hands; Fulmala's grunts and groans came from the fact that he had a finger the size of a hot dog moving in her pussy and a second riding her clit. I'd had Winona moaning softly and moving, but she stopped when she detected Daniel. "No, go on," Daniel rumbled. "He's being very good to you." Turning to me, he added, "She likes to have her earlobes sucked."

Wondering if Daniel realized that an operator was probably sitting with his finger on the trigger of the automated stingers in the room, I said, "Thanks..." Daniel turned and headed for the other bed, where he sat Fulmala down and then rocked her back and started sucking one of her fat nipples while he masturbated her. I leaned up and latched onto one of Winona's earlobes -- and yes, she liked it. She started looking for ways to return my attentions at that point, but I always knew when she was watching Daniel, because she tended to drift to a stop.

Nonetheless, a couple of minutes later, when I made my first light pass over her pubes, her legs were open. That led me to a theory. It seems to me that young girls are hard to open; they don't know what they're getting into, and they tend to worry about what people will think of them more than about pleasure. A lot of them -- especially the better-looking ones -- have had their defenses battered again and again, lots of times before they're even ready; as a result, they never GET ready -- sex is a hassle and they don't want any. As a result, it is a fight to get their knees apart.

On the other hand, women who get less early attention and are allowed to -- ripen, let's call it -- tend to be receptive. Women who have had sex and enjoyed it -- and mothers tend to be members of that group -- tend to open themselves; their legs betray them and drift open when they are aroused, granting access. Recent experience tended to bear this out; Myra and Carol couldn't wait to have me inside them, and Winona and Fulmala were both receptive -- in fact, shy Fulmala was orgasming on Daniel's thick fingers as I looked across to check on them.

Fulmala's wail freed Winona, apparently, because she reached down to fondle my erection and gave it a little tug. "Are you ready?" I asked.

"Uh huh."

"Okay, then." I positioned myself over her, but let her position me. She was plenty wet; I pressed forward and sheathed myself in her -- and her eyes popped.

"Big..." she gasped.

"Too big?" I knew better...

"No." Her knees were up and out but I wanted depth -- and I knew she had it -- so I rose and pushed them back to her shoulders, leaning on them, and took advantage of the fact that her pelvis rolled up to penetrate her deeply, taking my time. "Uuh," she gasped. I cycled in her about six or seven times and her head turned to see what Daniel was up to. I looked, too; Daniel and Fulmala were parallel to us and Daniel was about to penetrate her. "Daniel," Winona gasped, "I want to see!"

Daniel looked a little confused, but I said, "AI, rotate their bed ninety degrees counter-clockwise." As I expected, this proved to be well within the capabilities of that piece of furniture; Daniel paused, surprised, as the bed rotated so that Winona had an unimpeded view of her mate's cock rubbing the pink channel between Fulmala's legs, and then asked, "Now?"

"Now." Daniel's hips snapped and Fulmala screamed -- but it was joy, not pain -- or a mixture, at the very least. I don't think Daniel had really given any thought to his extended length, but Fulmala was plenty lubricated by her first orgasm on his fingers in any case; her legs came up to wrap themselves around his back, so she couldn't have been hurting much. Winona watched for a few seconds and turned to me, "Come on..." It was time to catch up. I set up a stroke that was just quick enough to be demanding and told the AI, "AI, slowly rotate both beds -- not fast enough to interfere with anything -- just enough to give everybody a decent angle." I sucked in a spiky brown nipple and chewed gently while my hips cycled; Winona started rolling her pelvis up to meet me, panting, her eyes bright. Fulmala was loud, if wordless -- and Winona was getting off on it, I could tell. I was distantly amused; the noises Fulmala made during sex were the loudest I'd ever heard from her!

In the saddle was where I asserted my dominance; I might not be able to pick up my partner and lug her around, but I could -- and did -- outlast Daniel -- twice! This meant, among other things, that Daniel had a ringside seat to my pumping Winona full of seed in amounts sufficient to ooze out around my pumping erection. By the end of the second pass, Winona had clearly let go totally and wasn't quiet about it, wailing, "CUM! FILL ME! GIVE ME BABIES! AAAHHHH!" -- and surging against me in orgasm as I painted her cervix.

Daniel's dazed comment was, "THAT was hot..."

I admit to panting a bit; we'd been at it probably a half-hour, all told, with a VERY short break between Round One and Round Two. I think Daniel spent fifteen minutes of that in the saddle -- and a like period watching me pound Winona. If he wasn't going to be happy, he would be having symptoms now... "So, are we okay?" I puffed.

Daniel thought about it and nodded slowly. "Yeah. Okay." I looked down at Winona, who nodded, relieved, after having awaited Daniel's answer anxiously.

"No guilt," I insisted, waving a finger at both of them. "You didn't cheat -- we're all married, or as close as it gets. We're family. If either of you takes it outside without my permission, THEN you're cheating -- but this was merely spreading the love. Understand?" I eyed them. "Want to talk about it?" I backed out of Winona, my cock followed by a dribble of seed. "Before we go on, you're still not committed, totally -- I admit to upping the ante some by telling a little white lie about impregnation probabilities. Nothing has been adjusted, and neither of you is likely to conceive."

"No?" Fulmala looked upset.

"No. It wouldn't have been fair, since they weren't committed yet," I said gently. "Don't worry -- you're sleeping with me tonight. There will be plenty of chances to give you babies -- for both of us, if Daniel and Winona are on board with it." Fulmala blushed and looked down. I went over to her, waving Daniel forward to talk with Winona, and sat down, collecting one of Fulmala's soft breasts in my hand and rubbing the nipple. Fulmala moaned softly and tucked herself against me; I suspected that I knew where Magadhi got her hunger for affection.

Daniel stepped up beside the bed and looked down at Winona, "So." He took in her state, including her messy crotch.

Winona came up on her elbows, looking back -- and eyeing Daniel's somewhat gooey half-hard cock, "So."

The question didn't get asked, verbally. Winona just nodded at Daniel and leaned up to suck in his cock. Daniel looked over at me, his eyes creamy with pleasure from the touch of Winona's lips on his cock. "Okay. It's all okay."

'AI, am I legal?' I asked.

<For a couple, you would be anyway,> the AI replied, <But a message drone went out yesterday, and your release of the concubines being held at the colony was in the communications packet. If there had been issues, they would have been mentioned when you offered sponsorship to Fulmala. There are none.>

'Very well...' "Daniel and Winona, I offer you my sponsorship."

"I accept." It was a chorus; Winona backed off Daniel's cock to answer.

"Duly recorded," the AI intoned, and it was done -- I had a serious family in virtually no time -- all of whom were superior to anything I'd had previously.

"Okay, the boys are in my quarters -- well, they're at school. Magadhi is there. You should gather whatever things you have and go there. I'm afraid that since this is our last day in flight, I have a lot to do. If you need help, don't hesitate to ask Myra and Carol..." I took in a sudden burst of sensation and discovered Fulmala on her knees, sucking my seed and Winona's juices off my erection. I looked down at her thoughtfully, "Do you want to go with me? Magadhi is safe at school..."

"Can I?" she asked, big-eyed.

"Do you need to pick anything up?" I asked.

"No, not really."

"My office, then." I expected her to follow me in true concubine style, but she shyly sidled up and took my hand. Charmed, I let it happen -- and spent a very pleasant, if busy, remainder of my morning in my office. The idiot who dumped that woman is a fool; she's a jewel who knows when to rush to help and when to stay in the background -- and she seems to live to serve...
