Chapter 21

Once I was left alone, I was able to quickly finish my meal. My erection was even able to go down yet again, despite all the bikini-clad “eye candy” within view. I cleaned up and put my dishes away in the kitchen. Then I decided to go find Mindy, Cindy, and Nicky and see how they were faring.

They were up in Nicky’s room. I knocked on the door and was allowed in.

I took a look at the three of them sitting on the edge of Nicky’s bed and noticed that all of them had been crying, although it looked like that had recently ended. That sadness seemed out of place though, since they were still in their sexy matching bikinis.

I could only wonder how their discussion had gone. The crying suggested that the result would be bad. I probably would have to come up with some new plans. But still, I hoped.

I said, “Hey, Muffin. I just wanted to see how everyone is doing here. I’m really sorry for what happened. We shouldn’t have been blabbering in some kind of wild brainstorming mode without much regard to your feelings, and in front of your friends, no less.”

Nicky sniffled, “That’s okay. Actually, I’m glad you said all that, or technically that Mindy, Cindy, and you said all that. It’s better that I learn this now. I’m still in shock from the whole Cindy-as-mistress news, so it’s like you can’t hurt when you’re already numb. And now I’ll have two weeks to adjust to the fact that you’re gonna be having sex with my friends.”

I immediately exclaimed, “Whaaaat?! Wait. What?! What the heck are you talking about?! It’s not like that. I have NO plans to have sex with any of your friends!”

I crossed the room to give her a hug. She saw me coming and opened her arms. I sat on the bed next to her and put my arms around her back. She wrapped her arms around me and practically squeezed me to death!

For instance, I was able to just hug her like a caring father and not worry about what my penis was doing, despite the fact that I was touching bare flesh almost everywhere.

I reiterated, “Don’t worry. This is all wild speculation at this point. I’m not going to do anything if it greatly upsets you. And forget this crazy notion you have about your friends. I can tell you now that I have NO interest at all in having sex with your friends.”

She pulled back and looked me in the eyes. “Yeah, MY friends, I can understand that. They’re not the most attractive bunch. But what about Monique? She’s seriously sexy and you know it. No one could turn her down. And what if I include Nina and Anjali as my friends? I know them pretty well and they’re just as sexy. All three of them were ready to practically rape you on the spot already, as soon as they heard the news!”

As I patted her back comfortingly, I said, “I don’t know about that. I’ll admit that Nina and Anjali were a bit ... antsy ... but Monique doesn’t care for me from a bump on a log.”

“HA! Shows how much you know!”

I found that to be a very curious comment, to say the least. But rather than pursuing that, I was more interested in helping Nicky feel better. “Look. It’s true that you and your sisters have some exceptionally beautiful friends. Some of them, especially the three you just mentioned, I wouldn’t exactly kick out of bed for eating crackers. Do you realize how crazy that sounds? It’s highly likely I’ll never have any other lovers in the first place. That’s just a wild idea at this point that your mom in particular seems strangely keen on.”

Nicky chuckled ruefully. “I’ve noticed. We were just talking about that. It seems like she’s keener on the idea than you are. And Cindy is too.”

Mindy at least had the decency to look a bit abashed. I gathered that she and Cindy hadn’t pushed as hard to discourage these ideas during their private chat with Nicky as I’d hoped.

I was secretly pissed. It’s like a broken record, how my wife always lets her cucquean tendencies rule. And Cindy is supposed to be working against that, but apparently she hasn’t. Sheesh!

However, I couldn’t really express my displeasure with Nicky sitting there with us. In fact, she and I were still in a loose embrace. It was a near miracle I didn’t get an erection again.

I flashed them a quick warning look before continuing, “Yeah, well, be that as it may, if we ever did decide to go that way for some bizarre reason, there are plenty of other women I know whom I could choose. I wouldn’t want to pick one of your friends because I know that would upset you.”

I’m not thrilled to say that, because, let’s face it, Nina and Anjali DID all but rape me back there at the table. And they’re looking exceedingly fine in their bikinis. And heck, I certainly wouldn’t turn Monique down either! But if avoiding them is a sacrifice I have to make to keep Nicky happy, it was one I’ll easily make every time. Like Shelle always says, family comes first!

Besides, thinking about it for a few more seconds, I remembered that I couldn’t allow myself to get sidetracked with thoughts about having sex with my daughter’s friends in the first place. My only goal was spending time with the women in my harem and figuring out how to make that harem work (which was a very difficult proposition right now, due to my power struggle with the Gruesome Twosome). Any other women were just an unwanted distraction. I needed to avoid getting sucked into that.

To my surprise, Nicky pulled back and said, “I know this’ll sound weird, but don’t totally dismiss the idea of having sex with my friends. Okay?”

I was so taken aback that it took me several moments to manage to gasp out, “Say what?!”

“I said, don’t totally dismiss the idea of having sex with some of my friends.”

Now it was my turn to feel like the ground had gone missing below me. I had to let go of Nicky, because I could start to feel my dick rapidly engorging in my feeble swimsuit. “Wait. Now you WANT me to have sex with them?!”

She scrunched up her face. “Not ‘want, ‘ exactly, but we were just discussing it, and I’m ... kind of undecided about it now.”

“Why?!” I can’t wait to hear this one! Were Mindy and Cindy somewhat successful in brainwashing her somehow?!

“Mom was pointing out that if you’re going to have an outside lover or two, it’s better for you to be with someone you can relate to most just in a physical way. Then there’s no way Mom would feel threatened, or Cindy either. I mean, I don’t think Anjali or Nina even know who the Beatles are. Okay, maybe not the Beatles, everybody knows the Beatles. But I’ll bet they don’t know the Rolling Stones from a hole in the ground.”

Trying to lighten the mood, I gasped in mock-horror. “Shush your mouth! For SHAME! Take it back, unless you want to ‘Play with Fire!’ Don’t leave me ‘Shattered!’”

Nicky laughed, because I’d “infected” her and my other daughters with my love of classic rock. So she knew that “Play with Fire” and “Shattered” were the names of Rolling Stones hits.

Mindy said to Nicky in a seemingly concerned and motherly voice, “You know how emotionally fragile he is. Don’t make him have his ‘Nineteenth Nervous Breakdown.’”

But Nicky was adept at playing the song title game too. “If they find out that you won’t approve the idea because of me, I’ll never hear the end of it. In other words, if they tell you ‘Let’s Spend the Night Together’ and you say no, you’re gonna have to ‘Gimme Shelter!’”

Mindy flashed an approving smirky-smile at those song references. “That’s my girl!”

We were all laughing now. The mood had totally transformed from the sorrow I’d seen when I arrived.

However, I was keen to get back to a serious discussion of this problem. I said emphatically. “Muffin, seriously, screw what your friends think! I don’t care what they think and neither should you. The ones we’re talking about are mostly the Hellions’ friends anyway. As for Monique, you’re drifting apart from her since you’re both living far from each other now. The only thing I ultimately care about is my family. And if something’s bothering you, I’m going to do everything I can to fix it.”

“Thanks!” Nicky squeezed me tightly all over again, resting her head against my neck.

I thought that was the end of it, and I was proud that I’d taken the high road, putting Nicky’s feelings above the lusty desire to spread my seed. I also had to be careful of where I put my hands on Nicky’s nearly naked body, especially now that my dick was betraying me with another ill-timed erection, but I felt I behaved honorably with that too, generally keeping my hands on her back.

Cindy and Mindy also reached out and patted or petted me a little bit, indicating that they were in approval too.

But after a minute or two, Nicky pulled back again for more eye contact with me, and said, “I feel better now. But promise me one thing.”

“Anything for you, Muffin. What is it?”

“Um ... don’t totally take the idea of having sex with any of them off the table. Please? Let me think about it. Mom seems to want it a lot, and you know what that means.”

I nodded with amused chagrin. Mindy had a long history of getting what she wanted. The thing was, she was so damn right all the time. I tended to stubbornly fight things, only to eventually realize she’d had a good idea all along. That was fine as long as her wants were reasonable. But her cucquean desires were causing her to make bad decisions. Things had to change soon, and it was up to me to change them.

Nicky grinned. “And with Cindy part of the family and backing her up on this, you probably don’t stand a chance. So I’m trying to adjust to this, because I suspect it is going to happen eventually.”

I said, “I hear what you’re saying about Mrs. Steamroller over there, and her friend Cindy Roadgrader. But this isn’t the same as what kind of new car or dishwasher to buy. I let Mindy get her way a lot because she cares about the mundane stuff more than I do, and she has good taste. This affects ME. MY sex life. I’m not going to agree just because Mindy wants it, for whatever bizarre reason that I still can’t understand. If it makes YOU unhappy, for instance, if it makes things weird between you and your friends, then that’s the end of it right there.”

Nicky smiled. “Thanks. I really appreciate that. Let me think about it, okay? I honestly don’t want to be sitting in judgment about your sex life. That would be weird. You should be able to do whatever you want to do, as long as it happens behind closed doors so it’s not in my face, or anybody else’s face. True, it would be kind of weird if you had sex with one of my long-time friends. So that’s why I’m thinking a good candidate for this outside lover idea could be Sue Ellen.”

I looked shocked, because I was shocked. It would be perfect for the “limited hangout” plan if Nicky really believed that. But how did she jump to that idea so quickly? Were Mindy and Cindy working miracles by hypnosis or something?!

Nicky saw my reaction, wrinkled her nose at me, and said, “Don’t be so surprised. Think about it. She’s quiet about it, but I can see the way she looks at you, and it’s obvious that she totally adores you. She certainly lusts for you too! I’ll bet that’s more of the reason she hangs around here all the time than her friendship with Ruby and Michelle. Since I hardly know her, it wouldn’t bother me so much.”

I started to say, “But Muffin-”

She cut me off. “But nothing! Don’t worry, I can deal with it. Whatever happens, I’m okay with it. Really. All of them have had crushes on you for YEARS, to be honest. Even Monique. Even...” She looked away shyly. “No, I can’t say that.”

“Say what?”

She looked away, suddenly mortally embarrassed. “Never mind about that. My point is, this is something that’s going to happen.” She managed to make eye contact with me again. “I know it for a fact. Even as I’m sitting here talking to you about it, I’m becoming increasingly resigned to it. It’s okay by me. Really.”

Mindy started to say to her, “Just because I like the idea doesn’t mean much. If it bothers you, I don’t-”

Nicky interrupted, “Hush.”

To my astonishment, Mindy actually hushed!

Nicky looked back and forth between Mindy and me, and then over at Cindy. “I don’t want to get in the way of your love life. And sure, Dad, Mom steamrolls you sometimes, especially when you deserve it, but you also stand up for what you believe in. If the idea was for Mindy to have sex with another man, I know you’d never approve of that in a million years. Right?”

She probably added the “right” because she realized she couldn’t be completely sure of anything anymore after all these recent revelations.

I said, “Never! I would rather die. Which is why I can’t understand why Mindy or Cindy would even entertain the idea.”

Nicky said, “Yeah, I’m still mystified about that too. But it does involve you having sex with other women. You’re a man, an unusually horny man, as both your wife and mistress can easily attest to. Sure, you’ll say ‘no’ at first, but ultimately how could you not warm up to the idea? It’s every man’s dream. And sure, it bothers me now because I’m still in shock, but I’ll get over it. The more I think about it, the more I’m thinking it could be kind of neat if you have sex with other women too. Just so long as you don’t ruin a good thing with these two once-in-a-lifetime beauties.” She smiled at Mindy and then at Cindy.

I was secretly thrilled, but I couldn’t show that. I managed to hide my true feelings, and just raised a curious eyebrow that she could see. “‘Neat?’ I could imagine it being called a lot of things, but ‘neat’ is not one of them.”

She grimaced. “Okay, maybe not ‘neat.’ I’m not sure what to call it. And I’m not sure how I feel, to be honest. I’m all conflicted inside. But I know that some of those girls - especially Nina and Anjali, but Lisa too, although she’s not here - they’ve been crushing on you for so long that it would almost be a shame if they didn’t get to sleep with you at least once before they moved away. That would make their year, if not their whole decade. Ditto with Sue Ellen, judging from the way she looks at you. So how could I get upset at that?”

I bent over and gave Nicky a partial hug. “Thanks for handling everything in such a mature manner. You know I love you and I don’t want to do anything that’ll make you upset. I still don’t think that’s a good idea, but if you’re not against it, I’ll take that into consideration.”

Since I was hugging Nicky, I managed to make appreciative faces at Mindy and Cindy without Nicky being able to see.

They responded with faces that simply showed great relief.

I broke the hug and stood up, in part because I was worried that I had an erection and I didn’t want Nicky to accidentally feel it with all the hugging going on. I stood in a strategic pose with my hand draped down just so, to keep my bulge hidden. (I hoped!)

I don’t know what to say. I want to assure Nicky that I would do no such thing, regardless. But then again, should I make promises I might not keep? I have to admit that it’s suddenly looking like a very real possibility that I could end up doing something sexual with at least one of my daughters’ friends. If even Nicky doesn’t mind, then what’s stopping me?!

Mindy moved in to where I’d just been, holding Nicky in a loose embrace. She said, “That’s a very good and loving attitude, Nicky. You’re thinking not just of yourself but of your friends too. I like that.”

I thought, as if speaking to my wife, I’m sure you do! Just coincidentally, that furthers your cucquean kick. And looking at Cindy, I can see she loves the idea too.

Nicky said, “I know what it’s like to have a secret crush on someone for a long, long time, and have them not even know how you feel. So I can relate to their frustration.” Very curiously, she suddenly blushed. “Maybe it’s a weird thing to say, but it’s sort of a rooting for the underdog kind of thing. I’d like to see them achieve their biggest fantasy.”

I wondered who on Earth she could be talking about. But I refrained from asking since it was none of my business and we’d put her on the spot too much lately anyway.

Instead, I said, “Nicky, nothing is written in stone. I don’t know what to think about this. To be honest, I feel like everybody is pushing me hard on this idea, all of a sudden. It should never have been brought up in front of your friends.” I gave Mindy a sharp look. “After the three of you left, Michelle and Ruby left too, but then I felt like the others were pressuring me about it even more. Although Monique did say one interesting thing. She warned that if I did have other lovers, it could cause more problems than we’d first expect. I figure she’s very likely to be right. So why mess up a great thing?”

I forced a smile as I added, “Anyway, Muffin, I hope I helped you at least a little bit by checking on you. You know how much I hate to see you cry.”

She nodded and smiled. “Thanks, Dad. I do feel better.”

I added, “I hope you don’t talk these improbable scenarios into the ground. Why don’t the three of you come back outside and join the fun?”

Mindy said, “We will in a little while. We have a little more talking to do here just the same, I think. We’ll try to avoid talking into the ground, though. It’s hard for anyone to hear what you’re saying that way, especially in a carpeted room like this one.” She smirked. “Besides, the three of us should help sort out some packing issues while we’re at it. But we’ll be there soon. As the saying goes, ‘wild horses couldn’t keep me away.’”

I chuckled at another Rolling Stones song reference.

She added, “Don’t have too much fun without us.”

Then, after glancing to see that Nicky wasn’t looking, my wife winked at me.

I wished I could wink back to kind of thank her. I was annoyed at how she had gone overboard again, but everything had worked out for the best, it seemed. I couldn’t wink though with Nicky looking right at me. So I simply smiled and said, “Okay. If you need my help with anything, just holler.”

After they nodded at that, I went back downstairs.

I was tempted to simply take Michelle’s monitor and computer out of her room right then and there and hide it in the garage or someplace like that. I wanted to stop her and her cohorts from spying on me again, and I also wanted to punish her for the spying. But I realized that if I did that while Nicky was here, she would almost certainly figure out that I’d found out about the spying from the night before, and that would humiliate her to no end. I didn’t want her to even suspect that I might think she had a big crush on me.

So I decided removing the computer could wait one more day, until after Nicky was gone. These were big problems I was dealing with that couldn’t be solved in a day anyway.

Instead, I pondered what had just been discussed. What are the odds that Nicky would all but suggest that I should take Sue Ellen as another lover?! Talk about lucky! The Big Guy Upstairs must really be looking after me, and right when I’ve stopped going to church and to confession!

Is that really luck, or is my wife some kind of manipulative genius? Probably a little of both, I’d wager. But the bottom line is that things just got a lot easier. A hell of a lot easier! I can already see how things are going to unfold over the next few weeks, as things slowly “evolve” until Nicky accepts that Cupcake will be my “second mistress!” Sweet!

When I looked outside, the girls in the backyard all still seemed a little too sexually excited. I worried about going back there and getting everyone even more worked up. The fact that I still had nothing but this inadequate bathing suit to wear wasn’t likely to help matters. More time was needed for everyone to calm down.

I figured I could buy a new bathing suit now, and by the time I got back hopefully everything would have settled down. But I looked out my bedroom window to the front yard and I saw not one, not two, but three unfamiliar cars blocking my driveway. I figured those cars belonged to Anjali, Nina, and Monique. Having to deal with them to get them to move their cars would only provide more opportunities for one-on-one sexual mischief.

So I came up with a different plan. I’d go back and join the party, but I’d plop myself on one of the lounge chairs and stay there most of the time. I’d probably even take a little nap, or at least pretend to, so they’d get used to me being around without getting in a tizzy about it.

I still wanted to talk with my daughters’ friends some more and lower their expectations about the possibility of me having another lover or mistress. They’d been too excited for me to make much headway so far, but I hoped that after I rested a while, they would rest and calm down too, and then we could have a more meaningful discussion.

I really did think that things wouldn’t progress beyond admiring looks and maybe a few (closed mouth) kisses and hugs. After all, none of them had gone beyond that with me yet, and I figured there was a kind of safety in numbers. I certainly wouldn’t allow myself to be alone with just Anjali or Nina, but what could they do to me with everyone else nearby and watching?

I went back outside after downing a glass of water in the kitchen. We were definitely in the middle of a heat wave.

As soon as I showed up, the girls all got up and gathered around me like bees to honey. And when I took off my T-shirt and started applying suntan lotion on myself, there was no shortage of volunteers to do that for me instead! But that was exactly the kind of thing I was trying to avoid, so I declined and kept on doing it myself. Then I laid back, closed my eyes, and gave them some not-so-subtle hints for them to let me be.

I was very proud of my self-control. I reminded myself, I’m all about the harem now. It’s going to take ALL of my sexual and mental energy to keep my wife and my cock slaves happy, then I’ll have nothing left to spare for anyone else. That’s just a fact. Well, I might have to “take one for the team” by doing something sexual with one or more of my daughters’ friends, eventually. But still, that’s just a drop in the bucket in terms of where my time and energy is going to be.

I couldn’t help but think, “Take one for the team.” Yeah! Okay, I’m going to enjoy the hell out of being “forced” to do that. But even so, whatever might happen with them is going to be an exception, and nothing more.

Anyway, it’s time to focus here. Nicky is likely to come back downstairs soon, and I don’t want her to walk into the middle of another sexually charged situation with her horny father stuck in the middle of it. Let’s all just chill out, for once.

Before long, they all did leave me alone. They remained within sight scattered around the pool, but well out of hearing range.

Everyone except for Sue Ellen, that is. She sat on the lounge chair next to mine, right on the very edge, looking quite anxious.

I opened my eyes to see why she was still there.

She whispered, “Mas- Dan, I have something to confess to you!”

I whispered back, “Can it wait? We’re not exactly in a private spot here.” I glanced over at the other bikini-clad beauties within view.

She whispered, “I don’t think I can hold it in! This morning, I found out that Michelle and Ruby, well, they spied on you last night! And worse, they-”

I cut her off. “Wait. Let me guess. They had Nicky spy on me too.”

Sue Ellen gasped quite loudly and her eyes bugged out. “You know?!”

I nodded.

She lowered her voice back to a whisper. “You know?! That’s what I had to tell you. How did you know?!”

“Don’t worry about that. But yeah, I found out. Around the same time you did, actually.”

I sat up so I could look her right in the eye. I said extra quietly, “Don’t worry, I’m going to take action about that once Nicky is gone, and I’m going to punish everyone responsible. I’m VERY glad you told me though. For one thing, that means I won’t have to punish you too. But more importantly, it shows me yet again what a wonderful and loyal slave girl you are. You make me very proud. Don’t ever forget that I love you very, very much!”

She practically swooned at that! She clenched her teeth while somehow smiling from ear to ear, and she clenched her fists too, as if she was having to fight from pumping them in the air. She whispered excitedly, “Oh, Dan! I wish I could kiss you right now! I wish that so very, very much! I’d kiss you so hard that we’d break your chair! Oh! Oh!”

She still seemed like she was having a hell of a time trying to control herself. It looked like she wanted to throw her arms around me. “I’m proud as punch! I wish SO MUCH that I could call you the ‘M’ word right now! You’re the best ‘M’ I could ever possibly imagine! And I love you too! Don’t you ever forget THAT!”

I growled with pretend anger, “Go away, and quick! Before you make me love you even more!”

I didn’t think it was physically possible, but that made her smile grow even bigger somehow! She whispered, “I do have to go away, before I fuck you on the spot!” She suddenly got up and hurried off.

I noticed that she didn’t simply walk to where the others were congregated, on the other side of the pool. She kept right on walking down the path to the deck. Clearly, she needed some time to gather her wits.

I was frustrated that I couldn’t take her in my arms and kiss and hold her forever. But I reminded myself, There will be plenty of time for that. She says she’s mine forever, and I’m starting to come around and really believe her. Forever! With her in my life! Wow! What a GREAT girl! Man, to think that there was a time when I only thought she was a fairly hot waitress. She has a heart of gold!

I laid all the way back in my lounge chair. I must have had a smile a mile wide. I closed my eyes and had wonderful thoughts about Sue Ellen for a while, as my body slowly slipped into nap mode.

I was tired again for some reason, despite having a nap earlier, so I drifted in and out of sleep a little bit. Perhaps it was the heat wave sapping my energy. I laid in the shade for the most part, but there was no escaping the heat anywhere. We hard even use air conditioning in the house since we live near the ocean and it only rarely gets uncomfortably hot.

But then everything went pear-shaped. I must have had a pleasantly erotic dream, because my penis somehow became engorged while I was sleeping, and it extended itself right through the bottom of my swimsuit, until most of it was just lying out in the open!

I probably wouldn’t have noticed, except that the feel of a hand on it woke me up! I could sense that my erection was completely freed from my useless swimsuit and it was being held nearly straight up. My balls were still covered, but that was small consolation.

I was still half-asleep with my eyes closed when I heard someone quietly ask, “What do you think you’re doing?”

I heard Anjali whisper back in reply, “I’ve wanted to do this for so long! Please don’t stop me. It’s something that I have to do!”

So it was Anjali who had just wrapped her fingers of one hand around my shaft. Anjali?! Wow! I knew she had a crush on me and she was acting forward lately, but I wasn’t expecting THIS!

Another voice asked in a very nervous whisper, “But what if he wakes up?!” I was too focused on Anjali and her touch to pay attention to who it was.

Anjali whispered back, “He’s totally dead to the world. Can’t you tell from his breathing? Besides, if he does stir enough to catch me, I’ll just tell him that his boner had slipped free and I was in the middle of putting it back in place to spare him the embarrassment.”

I heard Monique say, “That IS pretty clever! Damn. I wish I’d thought of that.”

I was shocked that shy Monique would say that, or even be any part of this. But that was nothing compared to the shock I was feeling from what Anjali was actually doing! She was just touching it with one hand at this point, but the danger and excitement of the situation had me as aroused as if she was jacking me off with two very talented hands!

Nina muttered quietly from surprisingly close up, “It’s just so ... BIG! I’ve never seen one even close to that size. How does it feel in your hands?”

Anjali replied with an awestruck sigh, “Soooo good! Just like all the dreams of it I’d ever had! No, better! It beats my Dando all to hell because it’s warm and throbbing and alive! I was just going to touch it a little bit, but now that I’m actually holding it, I want to do more! Much more!” At that, she brought up a second hand and pretty much covered my boner with her ten fingers.

I briefly wondered about the “beats my Dando all to hell” comment, but I was far too distracted and aroused to think through what that meant. I’d only heard the term “Dando” mentioned a couple of times, and I didn’t piece two and two together at the time.

I heard a quiet chiding voice say, “Be careful! If you go too far and he wakes up, we’re ALL going to be in trouble!”

My heart came to a complete stop, because I thought, That’s ... NICKY! NO! It can’t be! Can it?! Oh shit! What if it is?!
