Chapter 322

“Becca feels bad,” Wanda said.

“What? Why?” I asked, immediately concerned.

We were eating up on the top deck - in fact, everyone was either up there or on the sun-facing porch deck trying to catch as much of the rays as they could while our vacation wound down. I’d ended up sitting with Cattie and Wanda, and it sort of felt like I’d been directed into that based on the smiles and suggesting nods of the others. It sort of made sense - other than Leia and Terra, I’d spent the least amount of time that day with Wanda and Cattie. And Terra had to front appearances for JC since they were still officially a couple - I felt bad about that whenever I saw him, but I also understood Terra’s decision to tell him after the full day of travel that needed to happen with them side-by-side.

“She feels like maybe she shouldn’t have fucked you earlier,” Wanda explained. “But she was horny for you, and you were open to it. She just feels like it was bad timing since you had that attack earlier.”

I groaned a little - it was the exact thing that I would have worried about if the places were reversed.

“She’s not wrong, but she’s not right either,” Cattie said, shaking her head. “Be honest, Tiger. Did it mask any of the feelings you were still having?”

“No,” I said. “I just- well, it wasn’t weird for me. The attack happened but it was smaller than the ones before, Cassidy and Zenya helped me out of it, and then you all came back and check-ins were happening. Maybe it wasn’t the best timing, but I was more worried about the rest of you feeling left out than anything.”

“So what you’re saying is there’s a quickie on the table after breakfast?” Cattie asked with a grin.

Wanda snorted and shook her head. “We’re having the Big Talk after breakfast,” she said. “And if anything, it should be Leia getting the D if there’s a spare moment. You get to go home with him and Cass for a few days.”

I took Wanda’s hand, stopping her eating to have a moment with her. “I can’t wait for it to be your turn, gorgeous,” I said. “And I’m going to miss you so fucking much tonight when you’re not beside me.”

Wanda’s sad, broad smile could have split her cheeks. “I’ll miss you too. So fucking much.”

“It’s wild how we could be four or more to a bed, and sleeping next to Robbie is the best sleep I’ve ever had,” Cattie sighed.

“Same!” Wanda said. “Seriously. We probably get even less than I usually do, but it’s such a good sleep.”

I idly wondered if one of the Upgrades or Perks that Cassidy had bought me could be causing that effect. Magic touch? Or the ‘satisfy women in my bed’ thing? A combo of both?

“Maybe it’s a placebo effect or something,” Cattie said. “Because we’re both getting out of shitty long-term relationships where we didn’t feel completely trusting or comfortable with our partners and now we have him.”

“Sciencing my magic powers is a good way for me to lose them,” I said, only half-joking, but they couldn’t know that and they laughed along.

Sitting and having a heavy, greasy breakfast with Wanda and Cattie was a joy. After the brief thing in the middle of the week when Wanda hadn’t wanted to include Cattie in talking through her problems, it seemed like they’d both made an effort to get more comfortable and friendly. They spoke openly and playfully, trading little stories along with me, and I couldn’t have wiped the smile from my face if I tried. More than that, they were flirty with me and each other in a way that was light and pleasant and made me look forward to when we could be more intimate because, between their two kinks, we would have some nasty fun.
