Chapter 9
Author's Note Preface:
This chapter was a little harder to write, mostly because of my choice to have a first-person story that also includes a harem of other girls. This also has the most sex scenes in it of previous chapters, and yet I still feel as though I didn't get much done. But thems the brakes, so let me know how you felt about the balance of character's in the scenes. Also, I hope you enjoy the ending to this chapter ;)
Claire:
After spending a few hours at the mall, we had finally made our way home. It was only shortly after 3pm, so we had lots of daylight left ahead.
"So, are you ready to talk with mom about how magic is real?" Zach reminded me.
"Oh, fuck...I almost forgot," I exclaimed, "Well, let's just get this over with." Saying that, I got out of the back seat of the car, holding the door open for Amanda to slide out. Now that I was standing above her while she was still sitting, I thought that she might need a haircut soon. Amanda's short bob of raven black hair was certainly luscious, but I really wanted to see her with some longer extensions.
With everyone out of the car, I took the lead into the house, prepared to give mom "the talk."
If only it were that easy. The second the door was open; I saw mom pacing in the living room with her phone up to her ear.
"Sir... I-I...yes, I understand that those contracts need to be done by Thursday." mom said to someone over the phone, her jaw clenched in frustration.
Walking into the living room, mom just gave us an exasperated look and waved us to go sit at the kitchen table; all the while she was listening to someone talk to her.
"Sir, I do apologize, but I haven't taken a personal day in over 7 years." Her voice strained with anger, trying to remain level-headed. "... yes... I can come in earlier than usual tomorrow to make up for my day off." Her tone had switched from anger to dejection. "I'll see you tomorrow sir." With that she hung up and threw her phone at the couch, being angry enough to throw something, but not enough to permanently damage it.
"Is everything ok, Mom?" Zach called out to her.
"Oh. You know how it is. I take ONE day off work - on a Sunday no less - in the past 7 years, and apparently my boss thinks I'm some lazy sack of shit!" Her voice gradually rose as she went from seething to full on yelling. "I wish I could just rip that dumbass toupee off his head. That fucker doesn't know what I do for him!"
"Mom! Please...come sit down." Zach yelled over her, breaking her from her rant.
Mom shuffled angrily over to the seat she sat in this morning at the table. I stood behind her and started to give her shoulders a massage. I looked at Zach, eying him to start the conversation while I tried to keep her relaxed.
"Mmmmmm, that feels good, Claire Bear." Mom moaned, while I dug into her shoulders.
"Earlier you messaged me, asking why it was that there were suddenly other people coming around here, and that Claire and I have been having sex. To add on to the fact that we also had sex." Zach blushed, looking at mom. I could only see the back of her head, but I could just tell that she was blushing as well.
"Well, yeah, it's kinda weird how I just gradually wanted to have sex with my son and daughter, but the weirdest part about it, is how okay I feel about all of this. Shouldn't I be more concerned about the incest, or the fact that Claire is suddenly eating pussy like it's her job?" I smirked at her mention of my newfound bisexuality. She was speaking faster in a quasi-panic, and as Zach noticed this, I saw him once again interrupt mom.
"Mom! Mom, slow down," Zach said, he put his hands on mom's, squeezing them gently, "Now this is gonna be very hard to believe, but..." Zach was looking down at his ring, then he looked up towards me, motioning his head for me to stand next to him. "You see this ring? And the collar that Claire is wearing?" Zach pulled me close, pointing out the Prismium.
"Yeah, that collar is absolutely gorgeous by the way." Mom praised me.
Finally, I spoke up, "These things are magic. And they are making all this stuff happen with us." I blurted this out, wanting to cut to the chase. Now looking at the other two girls as well, "The ring and collar are called the Prismium. For the most part it seems that it is bringing together a harem of women to go to the 'master' of the ring," I pointed at Zach, looking at each person to see if they followed, "As to whatever the purpose for making a harem is... well, we don't know." I looked at Zach, wanting him to pick up from there.
"Claire is right. This Prismium radiates an aura, which subtly changes those around me which I find attractive, but it also seems to pick people independent of me, otherwise every hot girl I see on the street would be affected by it." Zach, finally pausing, looked at Mom, waiting for an answer.
"You weren't kidding when you said this wasn't going to be very believable." Mom chuckled, looking back and forth between Zach and I; trying to tell if we were pulling a prank on her. "So, you guys are serious about this?" She asked. I looked at my brother then back to her, we both nodded at this. "Is there some proof you can show?" Mom was cautious, but she wasn't outright refusing to believe us.
Thinking about something, I leaned towards Zach's ear and whispered, "Maybe we can help mom stop stressing about work and her boss." Zach looked up at me, his brows were furrowed in that cute way he always did.
"How are we gonna do that?" Zach mumbled under his breath, trying to keep the others from hearing.
I stood up straight and looked at mom. "What would you say if we could use magic to make your stress go away; just for tonight?" I asked her, a playful smirk on my face.
"I don't know if that's possible, Claire." Mom retorted.
"Regardless if you believe it or not, would you let us do this? And we promise that you won't suffer any negative effects." I saw Zach looking at me, bewildered at where I was going with this. "Zach, I was thinking we let mom try out the Violet Gem." I smiled sweetly, giving him a wink.
Zach's face lit up at the realization, "Yeah mom, you'll be totally fine, if anything, you'll probably have a ton of fun tonight." Zach said, convincing mom to say yes.
"You guys are really laying on this whole magic artefact thing real thick. Well, regardless, I don't see the harm in letting you try."
