The next morning, when we woke up, Skela got up without a word and disappeared. In a few minutes, she returned - with Pamela in-tow. I looked up at Skela, trying to figure out what was up.

"She's six levels from 400," Skela said. "You've been unlocking my abilities, but I'll bet Pamela would benefit from whatever skills this next round gets her."

Skela threw back the covers and Pamela quickly slid onto my rigid cock. Skela climbed on behind her and started rubbing her hands over Pamela's body as the knife fighter rode me. There wasn't much for me to do - so I just laid back and enjoyed the show.

Pamela reached a hand behind her and found Skela's twat with her fingers. Skela's fingertips became much more aggressive - targeting Pamela's nipples and clit. Soon, the room was filled with sounds that had my balls ready to explode. When Pamela managed to get Skela to squirt, it created a series of chain-reactions that ended up with me dumping two loads into Pamela and another into Skela before the two of them tumbled onto me and lay there panting, trying to catch their breaths.

Fiera stuck her head into the room, to call us to breakfast, and asked, "What did I miss?!"

I got everybody (and the bed) cleaned up, we got dressed, and headed for breakfast.

"How's your backside?" I asked Sondra as I greeted her with a hug. "Do you need a heal this morning?"

"A little tender," she said, "but it's fine."

I fist-bumped Lee on the way to my chair. Skela still had the seat of honor at his side.

After breakfast, we all headed to the temple.

Lissa had been talking to the crafters and they'd come up with a proposal. Given the fact that most visitors to Hera's Rest were going to be heading for the temple first, the crafters requested to have the new shops bordering the central plaza area that we had built.

Crafters that focused primarily on things that would be sold to visitors would have priority for occupying the shops that faced the plaza. Crafters whose trade was more directed towards the residents of our small city would occupy the shops in the two rows that flanked those. I asked about putting them in back-to-back but Lissa argued that some visitors might still need those services or goods - and reasoned that they should all face the plaza - with an alley down the middle so that you didn't have to walk clear to the ends to access the shops in the back. We would also, down the road, have the potential to add more shops when needed.

We spent the next hour conferring with various shop owners - getting a feel for what needed to be in the basic structures - to make them as useful to everyone as possible - so that our design didn't overtly favor one kind of crafter - but also encouraged all of them to take advantage of the new buildings we were constructing. I modeled several designs for them and we finally settled on two that they found acceptable. Leedra started on the stonework - alternating between the two designs - while Rebekah and Myrna went back to the valley to get dirt, ornamental shrubs, flowering plants, and a few small trees to use to decorate the buildings and the area.

Since they no longer needed me, I ended up at the temple - fucking my way through cooks, seamstresses, leather workers, guards, and whoever else showed up. Since my body had become trained - like Pavlov's dogs - to climax when my partner did, I decided to see if I could speed up my work a little bit. I laid on my back on the altar and took the next three in line. The first mounted my cock and the other two got my fingers. My instructions to them were that - as soon as they knew they were going to cum - they needed to get their tight little cunt on my cock. They would climax, my body would respond, they'd get Hera's blessing, and then step out of line so that the next one could step up.

Our first attempt was a failure. The girl fucking my right hand came before she could change places - which caused me to cum - which set off the girl on my cock. The sounds the other two girls were making caused the girl on my left hand to climax and - when she came - I shot off again. I sent the girl who'd just gotten a double-shot away, rolled the other two onto their backs, and made sure they each got a protein injection.

I got everything cleaned up and then called for the next two. I intended to put one on each hand - leaving my cock available for whoever got ready to burst first. The blonde, however, assured me that she'd fingered the hell out of her cunt as she'd watched the last round and didn't need much more to go off. I took her at her word and - sure enough - she exploded (literally) in about three strokes. She got a gift from Hera and then bent to kiss me before rolling off of the altar to stumble away to find her clothes. By that point, the girl riding my left hand was primed - and switched to my cock. Without me saying a thing, the next girl in line climbed onto the altar and sank her cunt onto my left hand.

We had a few close-calls after that, but the line was moving way faster than normal, so I considered the whole thing a success and we kept after it. If a girl (or woman) was taking too long on my left hand, I would switch her to the right and bring up the next girl. Again, things got dicey a couple times - but nothing like the Niagara Falls incident we had to start the day.

By the time lunch arrived, I was parched. I drained two canteens and ate everything on the plate. The kitchen worker gave me a kiss and darted off. I couldn't remember her name but she was a squealer. That's a little hard to forget.

Lissa stopped by, while I was eating, and told me that there was a small army marching from Westplain. She said that Middlegrove had been gearing up (as we'd already heard from Jasper and Rebekah). She assumed that the two groups were going to try to join forces at the crossroads. She had been talking to Pamela and my high school crush was hoping to hit the two units in the middle of them trying to merge. The commanders and troops would be sitting on their heels - working to figure out their pecking order - and she hoped to take advantage of the confusion to strike - maybe even getting the two groups to turn against each other and do some of our dirty work for us. Meanwhile, there was a new commander coming up through the ranks in Northmarch (the city that Rebekah's mom lived in) that had a burr in his saddle for us. Lissa was hoping to use Skela to remove him before he gathered enough support to begin amassing a fighting force that would become a true threat.

After lunch, I went back to double-fisting the women of Hera's Rest - trying to get Pamela's forces turned into a real army. Army was the wrong word. We didn't operate that way. We weren't waiting for them to come to us - although we'd done what I thought was necessary to prepare the plateau for a siege. We were more of a guerilla force. It was working for us so far - especially with Rebekah's ability to put us where we needed to be when it would work to our favor. Since it was working well, we were probably going to stick with it.

The line of women came (and came) and went. I didn't even have to yell "Next!". As they stood in line, they figured out the routine we'd developed. When it was their turn, they climbed onto the altar, started riding my fingers, and then jumped to my cock as soon as it was available - making room for the next woman to climb up.

Silena came racing into the temple.

"All guards gear up and report to the guard house, the bandits have returned and are making their way across the bridge! Report to the Captain of the Guard for instructions."

"Basil?"

Pamela called into my mind.

"Silena's making her announcement in the temple now,"

I told her.

"Can you send me Rebekah, Leedra, and Myrna?"

she asked.

"Yes."

"Thanks."

"I love you,"

I told her.

"Take care of yourself and your sisters."

"I get a victory fuck when this is over,"

she replied.

"I look forward to it."

I sent messages to my other three wives, sending them off to meet Pamela, telling them that I loved them, and promising them whatever they wanted if they came home safely after destroying the attackers.

Lissa and Kyla came racing into the temple, a few minutes later, asking for a status. I told them what I knew. They ran off towards the guard house.

I went back to fucking the crafters, cooks, and cleaning ladies.

Five minutes later, Lissa returned. She was frowning.

"What's wrong?" I asked her.

"Nothing," she said, sighing heavily. "I missed it."

"It's over?!" I asked.

She nodded and said, "Leedra and Myrna are a little unhappy. Pamela wanted to test her soldiers and wouldn't let them participate unless things got ugly. They weren't needed. Kyla and Silena are healing up a few cuts and bruises but we didn't lose anyone. It was a slaughter. Rebekah dropped a portal behind their small army. The dumbass leader was hiding in the back and the girls took him out in seconds. After that, nobody knew what to do. It was a massacre."

Ten minutes later, my wives arrived - all but Pamela - who was going back over the battle with her fighters - discussing things that went well and things that could have gone better - and giving them pointers for future skirmishes.

Fiera was consoling Myrna and Skela was hugging Leedra and stroking her fingers through her hair. I finished up with the woman who was riding my cock and then told the line that we were done for the day. There was a minor amount of grumbling that evaporated when Leedra roared at them angrily.

Rebekah opened a portal and we dropped into the living room.

"Let's fire up the hot tub," I suggested.

Myrna got the brambles grown, snipped, and dried. Leedra started the magic that circulated the water. Fiera lit the brambles and we all returned to the living room. Sondra fired up the oven and started making some fresh bread. I assure you that bread, hot from the oven and slathered in butter, will help anybody feel better.

"Myrna and I didn't even get to try out our new attacks!" Leedra grumbled loudly. "It's not fair."

The wood mage looked equally put-out.

"What new attacks?" I asked.

"Come here," the stone mage ordered, grabbing my hand, pulling me to my feet, and dragging me out of the front door.

Everyone else followed.

"Myrna," she said. "Show him yours."

As the wood mage transformed - and I mean transformed - Leedra created a small army of statues from the big pile of stone that we had sitting around for whatever project came next. There were probably a hundred stone warriors in the assembly that Leedra had raised in just a minute or two.

Myrna had turned into some giant spider-thing - with her at the center - in full wooden armor - with giant tentacles or arms made of thick bramble vines that had been braided together to make them stronger and more resilient.

The wood wraith turned on the stone warriors and she began tearing them apart. It was, quite frankly, one of the scariest things that I think I have ever seen.

"Sweet Hera!" Sondra gasped.

The army destroyed, Myrna transformed back into my sweet little wife, and came over for a hug. She was still pouting.

"Myrna, my beloved," I said. "I think I just shit my pants."

She snort-laughed and hugged me tighter.

"Wait until you see Leedra's," she told me.

Leedra had rebuilt her army. Myrna stepped over and grew a couple massive oak trees from acorns she had in her waist pouch. They had nothing to root in - but they were still impressive. She came back over and snuggled against me again.

Leedra smiled at me with the most evilly-adorable grin that I've ever seen. A shiver went up my spine. When she transformed, the hair on my head stood on end and it felt like lightning bolts were racing back and forth across my scalp.

Picture a Chinese dragon - like at the Spring Festival (New Year celebration) - make it entirely of stone - and double the amount of teeth - then add six taloned arms. She slashed through the army, completely ate at least ten statues, and then bit the oak trees in half. The claws turned the two trees into sawdust as we watched. The whole thing was over in less than three minutes.

Leedra transformed back, stomped over, and scowled at me.

"Daughter," Lee's voice rang out.

She turned to him.

"Come pick me up," he ordered.

Her face softened and she walked to his wheelchair and took him into her arms as if it were no effort. He hugged her neck and kissed her face.

"Why are you angry with your husband and your sisters?" he asked her softly.

She lowered her eyes but continued to frown.

"Hera has blessed you beyond my wildest dreams," he said. "You have a husband who adores you. You have sisters who care about you. Pamela didn't deny you this because she wanted to spoil your fun. She needs the rest of our fighters to improve. How could she improve on my little Leedra?"

"Papa," she moaned.

"I love you more than life," her father told her, "but you're acting like a child. Your husband and your sisters deserve better. When Pamela gets here tonight, you will suck her pussy and apologize for your attitude. Do you hear me?"

"Yes, Papa," she sighed.

"And I get to watch," he whispered.

"Papa!" she gasped.

He roared with laughter and said, "I am only kidding - sort of."

Sondra leaned in and kissed her daughter on the cheek. "You were magnificent," she said. "Oh! The bread!"

She tore off, running into the house, as we all laughed. Leedra returned her father to his seat and pushed his chair through the front door. The rest of us followed. Sondra called us to the table and began doling out hot bread and plates of fresh butter. The room filled with the sounds of people moaning.

Once we'd had our snack, Fiera checked the fire and reported that the hot tub was ready. We adjourned to the tub and started getting naked.

Myrna and Leedra came to apologize and I forgave them - and fucked them full of my jism.

Pamela showed up just before dinner and found us in the tub. Leedra climbed out, stripped the clothes off of her, laid her on some towels, apologized, and began eating her out. Myrna explained what was going on and then knelt down to start making out with her. When Pamela climaxed, the two girls switched places and Myrna made her cum a second time.

When they were finished, Pamela slid into the hot tub beside me, wrapped an arm across my shoulders, and said, "I could get used to this. No wonder you walk around with a stupid grin on your face all of the time."

"A stupid grin?" I asked.

The chorus of affirmative responses from the women in the room suggested that she might be right. Lee just laughed.

We soaked a bit longer and then Sondra announced that the roast was done. We toweled off, moved to the dining room - still naked - finished our meal - and returned to the hot tub. Myrna added a few more brambles and Fiera lit them - bringing the temperature back up to broil. It was exactly what I needed.

I fucked a hot load into the wives who hadn't already gotten one - and another into Skela - and then I was ready for bed.

Rebekah described for Fiera - who was still far lower in levels than the rest of the wives - how she and I and Skela had fucked around the previous night. She sent me off to bed with the pair, telling the two of them to fuck me into a stupor and then make sure I slept well.

Fiera ordered Skela to suck her twat while I fucked the brunette from behind. When I unloaded in the assassin, they traded places. Fiera sucked my jism from Skela's cunt as I plowed her. Their lusty looks and their moans and mewling had my balls churning. I pumped a load into Fiera and they traded again. I got two more rounds into each of them before I couldn't keep my eyes open any longer.

They laid me in the bed and then giggled as they took turns sticking their tiny nipples between my lips for me to suckle them. My brain fogged over after a couple rounds and I passed out. I got chilled an hour or so later and realized that they'd fallen asleep without covering us up. I dragged the blanket up, gave them each a quick kiss, and went back to sleep.

~~~

I woke up and looked at the faces of the two 18-year-olds lying in my arms. Fiera was fair - with elf-like features. She had long hair and small eyes. Skela was dark-headed - with her hair shaved off. Her skin had a bit of an olive hue to it. Her face was more bird-like. Her eyes were large - which contrasted with her small mouth. Both girls were almost flat-chested - with nipples that seemed to turn diamond hard with a thought.

I suddenly realized that they were both awake and watching me.

"What are you doing, master?" Skela inquired.

"Master?" I asked her.

"I may not have bonded with you, but you are the only master I will ever have," she said matter-of-factly.

"You are so gorgeous," I said, "both of you. I'm so lucky."

"Two damaged girls from two different worlds," Fiera said.

I leaned up and kissed her - and then turned and kissed Skela.

"My scars are slowly healing, I think," Skela told Fiera.

The blonde nodded to her.

She laid her head on my collarbone and snuggled close and Skela did the same.

"I'm the richest man in the world," I sighed.

Their giggles were like music to my ears - and the snake-charmer's flute to the cobra in my pants.

"Somebody's awake," Fiera said, glancing at my stiff prick and then looking over at Skela and giggling again.

The pair spun around and set their mouths to pleasuring me. I snuck my fingers into their slick channels and tried to return the favor. Skela sucked my dick as Fiera licked and sucked my balls. After a minute or so, they switched. Before long, I called out that I was going to cum and that one of them should hop on my dick and claim Hera's gift. They giggled and ignored me. I warned them not to waste it, but they told me that it wasn't a waste. They brought their lips together in a kiss that included my cock-knob, and I exploded. The two of them licked and sucked and gobbled it all up. Hera must have approved somehow because their pussies clamped down on my fingers at the same time as their bodies strobed with golden light and they endured the climaxes that came with the goddess' gift. I cleaned us up and we got dressed just before Leedra came to call us to breakfast.

Level 400, apparently, unlocked some goodies for my two early-morning lovers - and they were itching to try them out. Fiera was racing through the house with fiery weapons - while Skela shadow-stepped from place to place - sneaking up on people, jumping out, and then disappearing again.

We were all 18 or barely older - with Rebekah being the oldest - and the unofficial matron of our group - but Fiera, Skela, and Leedra always seemed like the "kids" in our weird family. Regardless, everyone was laughing at the two "youngest" ones cavorting around the house like demons of shadow and flame.

The two of them claimed my flanks at the breakfast table - so Leedra sat by her dad. He lavished kisses and praise on her and pulled her closer. She ate it up. Our situation had kind of robbed her of some of her old interactions with her favorite male and my heart got all fuzzy, watching the two of them. Lee saw me observing them and gave me a wink. I nodded back and refocused on the two chatter-monkeys sitting beside me.

After breakfast, we all headed back to what we were doing when we were interrupted by the brief battle with the bandits.

Lissa stopped by and chatted while I was eating lunch with my wives (and Skela). She reported that we had an abundance of weapons and armor to trade - but that we weren't getting any traders. So far, we also weren't getting temple visitors either. We knew there would be a transition period, but she was frustrated by how long this was taking. Considering that it had really only been a couple weeks, I thought we were doing phenomenally well. We'd only managed a complete renovation of the town because of the professions that my wives had picked - and here she was grumbling about tourism.
