====================================
All Characters are 18 years or older.
This story is a continuation of the Font of Fertility series. I would suggest reading Chapter 1 if you have not already. This chapter includes group sex (MFF+), anal and double penetration. Fair warning to readers, this series also includes sex between people who have grown up together but are not blood-related.
Jeremiah needs a power injection for what's to come...
====================================
Leaving Ezekiel's Vault was a lot less stressful than going to find it. Now that I had my small amount of power reserves, I reached out and connected with Lindsey and - beyond her immediately getting nerdy over the telepathic communication and trying to send me images she was imagining - we confirmed we could travel to her room without the Baxley parents noticing us.
Lauren and I stepped through the teleportal door from the Vault and stepped into Lindsey's room.
"Welcome back," Lindsey grinned, standing from her desk and bundling both of us up into a hug. "How was it? Please tell me you brought some ancient magic secrets back or something."
"Yeah, it was sort of... empty, mostly," I said.
"Some asshole on the Council got there before us," Lauren said. "But apparently it's not that unexpected, so at least we didn't get ripped off without it being a tradition."
"Well, shit," Lindsey frowned.
"And, unfortunately, that's not everything that happened," I said. "Let's sit down."
That was, in hindsight, the stupidest thing I could have said because it just made her even more worried. Lauren and I explained what had happened with Annalise, who Lindsey had never actually met, and how I had drained myself to send her help. Lindsey was pissed at me and horrified for Annalise at the same time, and she punched my arm like Lauren often did and then kissed me. We told her the rest of what we'd uncovered, and she was fascinated by my description of the Amplifier and the visions that Lauren and I had of my magic.
"That's where I want to go," she said.
"What do you mean?" I asked.
"For my date day," Lindsey said. "And I know, we're going to need to push it back. It's fine, there are emergencies going on. But when there
is
time, I want to see the vault."
"Are you sure?" I asked. "I was going to plan a whole thing. I wanted-"
She shut me up by kissing me. "We have all the time in the world for extravagant dates, just us or all of us together," she said. "You always want to assure me, and I'll admit I need that. I'm still not... OK with myself. But I know what I want, Jeremiah. I know what's in here," she placed a hand on my heart. "But I also want to know what's going on up here." She ran her hands through my hair and kissed me again.
"A girl wants what a girl wants," Lauren laughed.
"Alright," I gave in. "But I'm still making plans. We're not just popping in and out of a Vault that has barely anything in it."
Lindsey smiled. "I'd be happy with a happy meal and holding hands in the parking lot," she said. "Now, do you two have any other giant revelations, or can we start fucking? If we're getting Jerry his magic juice back, then I'm sure as hell doing my part."
Lauren laughed. "Alright. There's a thing with our friend Benji, but it's not really to do with all of us, just me and Jerry. Where are Mom and Dad?"
"Downstairs," Lindsey said. "I think they started a new project in the garage, but if you're not joining in you could probably run interference." The step-sibling's parents were antiquers and spent their weekends in the summer travelling to garage sales all over the region, and had taken up DIY refurbishment during the winter.
"I mean, I always want to fuck my man," Lauren smirked. "But we got pretty intense when we did it in the Vault. You two go ahead."
"You OK?" Lindsey asked, reaching out a hand and her brow creasing in concern.
"Yeah, yeah. I'm fine," Lauren said, visibly less than fully assured of what she was saying. "Jerry and I took care of each other."
"OK," Lindsey frowned.
"It's fine, really," Lauren said and pushed a smile. "You two start screwing or I'll jump the queue."
She left the room chuckling, but Lindsey and I sat for a moment as we listened to her head down the stairs.
"Did something else happen?" Lindsey asked me quietly.
I sighed and scooted closer to her, taking her hand in mine and laying back on her bed. She lay down next to me. "Lauren's letter was a lot longer than mine, and I think it was a lot more... specific. Ezekiel wrote like it would be best if I just figured things out on my own. I think his Prime was a lot more blunt with Lauren. She hasn't told me what it said." I wished I could have recovered the burned letter, and maybe with magic I could have, but it felt like it would have been betraying Lauren's trust and the request of a woman I had never met.
"I'll talk to her," Lindsey assured me. "You two are in major love, but that doesn't mean she can talk to you about everything always. Especially if it's about you."
That made me stop, wondering if I was keeping anything back from Lauren. I didn't think so? But what if there was?
"Is there anything you don't want to talk about with me?" I asked Lindsey.
She took a deep breath and sighed. "Yeah," she admitted. "I already told you a lot, that night you took me to dinner. Our first date." She smiled wide, thinking about it, but the smile faded slowly. "That's not the whole of it though. I told you facts, and just scratched the surface on feelings. And I know you want me to go deep, but I feel like if I were to do that, I'd make you part of it. You wouldn't be
you
anymore, in my head. So there's things I won't talk to you about, even if you beg me. But you're still helping heal them. I need you to know that, too."
"I'm sorry," I whispered.
"Don't be," Lindsey said, and turned on her side, pressing her tits against me as she leaned in and gave me a kiss. "It all happened for a reason. If I was some normal girl instead of going through everything I did, do you think we'd be in this position? Do you think I'd be fine sharing you between the three of us girls, and fucking Laren? I would never have gotten to know you like this. You would have just been Lauren's handsome, well-mannered boyfriend, and I would have missed out on the love of my life and probably end up dating some asshole frat boy. And he'd cheat on me, but I'd marry him anyways, and I'd give up on my aspirations and become some trophy wife, and slowly get fat and quickly get unhappy."
"Well, I'm glad I saved you from that," I laughed. "Frat boys?"
"What can I say? I think it's the dimples," she shrugged. "But now I only have eyes for your dimples, baby."
"I don't have dimples," I said with a confused smile.
"That's what you think," Lindsey smirked. "You've got them right above that cute butt of yours now."
"Really?" I laughed. "I didn't know that."
