--- Asher Montgomery ---

While in the taxi heading toward the closest police station, Asher called Elara to keep her informed. He finished the call just as he was getting out of the car in front of the building, wondering how much trouble Lucy was in.

As he stepped inside, at least some of his worries were immediately dispelled when he spotted Naomi sitting in the waiting area, her face reddened from crying.

“Nami,” Asher said as he approached her.

She hadn’t even noticed him, sitting with her head lowered and her gaze fixed on the floor, looking like a sad puppy.

“Asher!” she gasped, jumping to her feet. A moment later she pressed herself against his chest. As he wrapped his arms around her, she burst into tears.

“It’s okay, everything’s going to be fine,” he murmured, brushing her back softly while waiting for her to calm down. It took a minute or two before her sobbing subsided.

“It’s all my fault,” she mumbled into his chest.

“No, it’s not,” Asher replied, lifting her face by the chin so she would look at him. “You are the least guilty person in this whole situation.”

“We met Morgana, and it all went so badly…”

“It’s not your fault that she’s a bitch. Or that she pushed you,” Asher said. “And it’s not your fault that Lucy hit her.”

Naomi grimaced, still looking unconvinced.

“Is Lucy okay?” Asher asked. “Where is she?”

“She’s okay. She’s talking with her lawyer,” Naomi replied with a sniff. “She told me not to say anything until he came, so we had to wait.”

“She has a lawyer?” Asher asked.

“A family one,” Naomi replied with a shrug. “He told me Lucy isn’t going to be in trouble.”

“And what did the police say?” Asher asked.

“Ugh… not much. Lucy told them we weren’t going to talk without a lawyer, so I waited alone. And when he came, they wanted me to tell them what happened but… um… I-I started to cry, and the lawyer demanded they let me go,” she mumbled, averting her gaze but still pressed against Asher.

“Are Morgana and the other girl okay?” he asked.

“Lucy broke her nose, but they gave her a healing potion, so she’s fine,” Naomi murmured.

Asher hummed, running out of questions, especially since Naomi clearly didn’t know much more than he did.

“Oh my god!” Naomi suddenly gasped. She rose onto her toes to bring her face closer to Asher’s. “We left Sisi at the mall,” she whispered urgently.

“She’s okay,” Asher assured her. “She called me, and that’s why I’m here. She’s with Ava, getting back home.”

“Your date,” Naomi murmured, her eyes widening. “I’m so sorry-”

“It’s not your fault,” Asher interrupted.

“Asher!” Lucy suddenly shouted from their side.

He barely managed to step away from Naomi before the pink-haired girl jumped at him, wrapping her legs around his hips. Before he could react, her lips were pressed against his.

“Miss Izanami, I would ask you to keep some decency,” a man said as he approached them.

As their lips parted, Lucy still had her legs wrapped around Asher’s waist and her hands around his neck.

He was a middle-aged man in a suit, carrying a briefcase and wearing a neatly tied tie. Even if Asher stumbled into him on the street, he would guess that he was a lawyer.

“Are there any actual laws that forbid me from kissing my boyfriend?” Lucy asked.

“Your father should be here any moment,” the lawyer replied calmly.

Lucy immediately dropped her legs and stepped back from Asher. A second later she was hugging Naomi instead.

“Are you okay?” Lucy asked, the two Asian girls pressed closely together.

“Yeah,” Nami mumbled.

“I’m sorry,” Lucy murmured.

“Oh… ugh… it’s okay. You just defended me,” Nami stammered.

“I’m not apologizing for hitting that bitch,” Lucy replied.

“Miss,” the lawyer sighed.

“I’m apologizing for-” Lucy began, but suddenly stopped mid-sentence as an older Asian man entered the building. Her gaze snapped to him. “Dad!” she gasped, letting go of Naomi and running toward him.

She threw herself at him in a hug, then quickly grabbed his hand and began pulling him toward the others.

“It’s so good you’re here. You need to meet my friends,” she said quickly. “This is-”

“Lucy,” the older man said, interrupting her. “Don’t try to distract me.”

“I’m not,” she pouted, making big eyes at her father.

“What’s the situation?” he asked, looking at the lawyer.

“Miss Brown and Miss Moore signed a settlement agreement not to pursue any legal action,” the lawyer replied. “The police will not take any action without charges. The Academy should not be informed about the incident. But in case of any problems, there are also recordings from the mall clearly showing that Lucy reacted after being attacked, and I have secured the footage.”

“Perfect, thank you,” Lucy’s dad said, shaking the lawyer’s hand.

The man nodded and walked out of the police station.

“Lucy-” her father began.

“Dad, it wasn’t my fault,” Lucy interrupted with a pout.

“Let’s talk outside,” he said, already heading toward the exit.

Lucy frowned slightly, then grabbed both Asher’s and Naomi’s hands and pulled them after her father. They stopped a short distance from the police station as her dad turned to face her.

“You were supposed not to get into any more trouble,” he sighed.

“It wasn’t my fault.”

“You punched someone.”

“What do you always tell Yuma?” Lucy asked.

“What does he have to do with this?” her dad replied with a question of his own.

“You always tell him that it’s important to defend his woman’s honor.”

“That’s different-”

“This is Naomi,” Lucy interrupted him, grabbing her by the hand and pulling her forward. “She’s my girlfriend. And that bitch was insulting her, and she pushed her. Can you honestly tell me that if a guy called her an Asian whore and then pushed her, and Yuma punched him, you wouldn’t come here and pat him on the back, saying he did the right thing?”

“She’s not your girlfriend,” her father replied with a frown, glancing between the two girls as Naomi flustered, looking everywhere but at the older man.

“Oh, she is,” Lucy replied, then pulled Naomi into a kiss right in front of her father.

“Lucy!” Nami gasped, pushing her slightly away. “N-Not here…” she mumbled, blushing even more.

Lucy’s father stared at the two of them in silence for a moment that seemed to drag on forever.

“You told your mother you have a boyfriend,” he finally said.

“Oh, I do,” Lucy replied, grabbing Asher’s hand. “Dad, this is Asher, my boyfriend. Asher, this is my dad.”

“Hello, sir,” Asher said, getting flustered by the situation. It hadn’t crossed his mind earlier that it would most likely turn into meeting Lucy’s parents. They hadn’t even talked about being boyfriend and girlfriend, but apparently that hadn’t stopped Lucy from telling her parents about him. With her just introducing both him and Naomi, he wondered how much she had actually told them.

Lucy’s father fell silent again, looking between the three of them before his gaze settled on Lucy as he narrowed his eyes.

“Are you lying to distract me from your trouble?” he accused.

“What?” Lucy asked. “I would never do something like that.” She pulled Asher’s head down and pecked his lips. “You see? Boyfriend.”

Lucy’s father focused on Asher, his eyes moving briefly over the two girls before returning to him.

“It’s not like that, sir,” Asher said.

“It is like that,” Lucy replied. “We’re all together. They’re boyfriend and girlfriend too,” she added, gesturing between the two of them.

Asher stared at Lucy wide-eyed, wondering what she was doing. It felt like she was only making the situation worse just to distract her father from the whole incident.

Lucy’s father sighed deeply. “Nice to meet you, Naomi,” he said. “Is what my daughter said true about what happened?”

“Y-Yeah, Morgana is-”

“A bitch,” Lucy interrupted.

“It’s not the first time Morgana has bothered Naomi either,” Asher added.

When Lucy’s father looked at Naomi, she nodded, confirming their words.

He sighed again and looked back at his daughter, who smiled cutely at him with her brown eyes.

“I’m cutting your next pocket money in half,” he said.

“What? You can’t!” Lucy protested.

“Lucy,” he said, a warning in his voice.

“That’s so unfair! You would praise Yuma if he did the same.”

“I would, but I’d also make him pay for the lawyer and the damages. Your actions-”

“Have consequences. I know, I know. So let me pay that too.”

“From your own money?”

“Yes,” Lucy replied with a frown.

“You know the lawyer costs a lot?”

“It was still worth it to shut that bitch up,” Lucy replied.

Her father sighed, shaking his head, but a small smile crept onto his face. “In case your mother asks, I berated you. And I’ll send you the amount you need to pay,” he said. “But I’m proud of you.”

Lucy grinned and hugged her father. “Thank you. I love you, Dad.”

He patted her on the back, hugging her with a smile while shaking his head. When she pulled away, her father focused on Asher.

“You, young man, are in trouble,” he said suddenly, his tone serious.

“Ugh…” Asher muttered.

“Two women? And one of them is my daughter? Big trouble,” he said, shaking his head with a smile.

“Dad!” Lucy groaned. “You’re supposed to threaten him that you’ll kill him if he hurts me, not warn him about me.”

“Please, baby, we both know that if someone is going to get hurt here, it’s going to be him,” he replied. “Two women,” he added, shaking his head again. “You’re crazy.”

“It gets wild sometimes,” Asher replied.

“Asher!” Lucy gasped.

“What?” he asked, but seeing Lucy’s smirk and Naomi blushing, he realized how it sounded. “No, I didn’t mean it like that,” he quickly protested.

“Just try to keep an eye on her so she doesn’t get into any more trouble, okay?” Lucy’s father said.

“I’ll try,” Asher replied.

“When are you going to visit us for dinner?” he asked Lucy.

“Soon, Dad, but we’re super busy with classes and dungeons. We just moved into a new place.”

“And I assume you’re both on Lucy’s team?”

“Yes,” Asher replied.

“And you live in the same house?” he asked, looking at Asher.

“Ugh… yeah, but we have separate rooms.”

“Like I’m going to believe that,” Lucy’s dad murmured. “What about Sunday evening? Your brother could come too for dinner.”

“Are you going to tell Mom that I didn’t cause too much trouble?” Lucy asked.

“No.”

Lucy groaned, then rolled her eyes. “Okay, I’ll come. But I’m taking them with me,” she added, grabbing Asher’s and Naomi’s hands.

“Sure,” her dad snorted. “If you think that’s going to protect you from your mother, then you’re very wrong.”

“I can try,” Lucy replied.

“Do you need a ride back to the Academy?” Lucy’s father asked.

“No, we need to get my car from the mall parking lot. We can handle it,” Lucy replied.

“It was nice to meet you,” he said, looking at Naomi and Asher. “Oh, and I’m not going to explain this,” he added, waving a finger between the three of them, “to your mother.”

Then he turned around and walked toward the black car parked nearby, with a chauffeur waiting outside.

“Two women…” he muttered again, shaking his head as he got into the car.

“Imagine if he knew,” Lucy whispered, leaning closer to Asher with a smile.

“What was that?” Asher asked, looking at her.

“Sorry, but I needed a decoy to distract him from today’s situation,” Lucy replied.

The car with Lucy’s dad inside drove away.

“Are you okay?” Asher asked.

“Yup! Perfect,” she replied with a grin. “We need to head back to the mall for my car.”

“Lucy!” Asher said more firmly. “Are you okay?”

She turned to look at him, staring in silence for a moment. “What are you asking about?”

“In general,” Asher replied. “Is your hand okay?” he added, asking about the first thing that came to his mind.

Lucy giggled as she stepped closer to him. “My hand is fine. And I’m okay.”

“Are you going to be in trouble?” Asher asked.

“Nope. That lawyer you saw? He seems super nice and cool, but he can be really scary. He explained to that bitch that she started everything and that he would take it to court and blah blah blah, she’d end up in prison, blah blah blah… and then he offered her two hundred bucks to sign an agreement. She barely even read it before she grabbed the money and ran away,” Lucy replied with a shrug.

“So money just solved the problem,” Asher said.

“Well, it was her fault in the first place,” Lucy replied. “She could argue that I overreacted, but the lawyer made it obvious to her that any attempt might end badly for her. So when he offered money, she actually made a wise choice.”

“I’m glad it’s all okay,” Asher sighed.

“Just don’t mention it at the Academy,” Lucy added. “They don’t need to know.”

“Sure,” Asher replied.

Naomi nodded when the pink-haired girl looked at her.

“Perfect, then let’s go,” Lucy said.

They moved a bit to the side to wait for a taxi that would take them back to the mall.

“Who was it?” Lucy asked. “That girl I punched.”

“Ugh… Morgana,” Naomi murmured.

“That much I know, but what was that bitch’s problem?” Lucy asked.

Naomi looked at her, a bit unsure. “She was jealous that I was friends with Sam. And… she just likes to bully me.”

“Is she from school?” Lucy asked.

“No…” Naomi murmured. “Ugh… from the orphanage.”

Lucy looked surprised at Naomi, remaining silent for a moment before she said, “I didn’t know.”

Naomi just shrugged, looking down at her hands, clasped in front of her.

Lucy shifted her gaze from her to Asher. “You knew,” she said.

“Unfortunately, it wasn’t the first time I heard about Morgana,” Asher replied. “We met her before we got to know you. On our first date,” he added, glancing at Nami.

“Oh my god! Your date,” Lucy gasped. “Is Ava pissed at me?”

“No,” Asher shook his head. “We picked up Sisi, and they headed back home together.”

“Did I interrupt something?” Lucy asked with a frown.

“Not really,” Asher replied. “We were more or less heading home.”

“So I cut it short before the best part,” Lucy said with a smirk.

Asher rolled his eyes. “There will be time for that,” he replied.

As they got into the taxi, Lucy wanted Naomi to tell her about her date with Asher, and then she made him tell everything about his date with Ava. Before he was even finished, they were back at the mall, heading toward Lucy’s car. He stopped his story at the moment when he and Ava had been in the park and Sisi called them, skipping over the gift he got. But with it on his wrist, it had already caught their attention.

“What’s that?” Naomi asked, gesturing at the bracelet on his wrist from the back seat while Lucy was driving.

“That’s a gift from Ava,” Asher replied.

“That much we know,” Lucy said, rolling her eyes dramatically.

“Can you focus on the road?” Asher asked immediately.

“I am focused. But you’d better tell us about this gift. Is it an explorer bag?” Lucy asked.

“Yeah.”

“A big one?” she asked.

“Yeah.”

“You don’t seem happy about it,” Lucy said with a frown.

“It’s too expensive,” Asher replied. “To buy for someone on a first date.”

“You can’t treat it like a typical normal first date,” Lucy replied.

“Still, it’s too expensive to buy for someone you’ve known for two weeks,” Asher said.

“Those weren’t exactly standard two weeks either,” Lucy replied. “And for her it’s probably not that expensive.”

Asher grimaced but didn’t say anything more.

“Please tell me you didn’t say all of that to Ava,” Lucy said.

“Ugh…” Asher groaned. “I tried to refuse to accept it.”

Lucy groaned. “It’s a gift. You don’t talk about its price.”

“And you don’t give gifts like that either.”

“But she did,” Lucy replied. “And maybe that’s her way of showing that you are important to her. And you refused to take it. Why? For no good reason, really. Sure, if she couldn’t afford it and still bought it, you could protest. But she’s loaded. And she probably doesn’t spend money on anything. Like… did you see her wardrobe? It looks like she bought a ten-pack of black T-shirts and wears them every day.”

“I did accept the gift,” Asher replied, raising his hand and shaking the bracelet on his wrist. “I’m just not used to having something so expensive. It cost more than I’ve ever had in my life.”

“Besides your ring,” Lucy replied.

“Well… yeah…” he murmured, thinking that it was useless to anyone who didn’t have his class, but it could probably be worth a lot to collectors as something exceptional and unprecedented. The only known legendary class item.

“So I can buy you expensive gifts now?” Lucy asked.

“You don’t have to,” Asher sighed.

“But I can. And you’ll fuck me really well out of gratitude,” Lucy replied.

“I can do that without gifts,” Asher offered.

“So maybe I’ll buy them for my girlfriend instead,” Lucy replied with a smirk, glancing in the mirror at Naomi, who was sitting in the back seat and had been quietly listening to them so far.

Naomi blushed, her whole face turning red. She seemed to try to say something, but it only came out as a series of gasps and half-formed sounds, completely flustered.

“Did you tell your parents about me?” Asher asked.

“Yup,” Lucy replied.

“And since when am I your boyfriend?” Asher asked with a smile.

“Hmm… it’s hard to pinpoint the exact moment. Maybe when I joined your harem. Maybe when you fucked me for the first time. Maybe when we went on a date. There are a few moments… but I’d say that when you filled my tight Asian pussy with your cum would be fitting. Though if my parents ask, you’re telling that story,” she added with a giggle.

As Asher shook his head, imagining how this talk would go, they reached the Academy, and after Lucy parked the car in front of their house, they headed inside. But as he let Naomi go through the door first, Lucy didn’t enter.

“Can we talk here?” Lucy asked.

He looked at her, then at Naomi inside, who shrugged. He closed the door and turned back toward Lucy.

“I hope I’m not speaking too soon,” Lucy said, holding his hands. “But thanks for not moralizing or lecturing me after what happened today.”

“I’m just glad you’re not in trouble,” Asher replied. Then he smiled slightly. “Maybe even a little glad that you did it.”

“Really?” Lucy asked.

“Well… Maybe I didn't punch her, but Naomi might have forgotten to mention that when Morgana didn’t want to let it go on the skating rink and was skating backward in front of us, I directed Naomi and myself in a way that made Morgana crash into the railing. And when her friend tried to help her, she stumbled on top of her.”

Lucy snorted. “I was worried you’d start lecturing me, and that would have been really not hot.”

“I was supposed to lecture my girlfriend because she protected another one from some bitch?” Asher joked.

Lucy giggled, hugging him. “You know that now you really need to go meet my parents?” she asked, her head pressed into his chest.

“I guess,” Asher replied. “You really just dropped that on your father.”

“That I have both a boyfriend and a girlfriend?” Lucy asked.

“Yeah,” he snorted.

“My father is pretty chill,” Lucy shrugged.

“What about your mother?” Asher asked.

“Well…” Lucy trailed off, grinning. “She knows that I like girls, and we’ve had some talks where I told her it’s possible I’ll be in a relationship with one. And while she kind of accepted it, she was super happy when I told her I’m dating a guy.”

“And what if that guy has a harem?”

“I’m not planning on telling her that. But if you mention it, you’re explaining everything,” Lucy replied, pulling back from Asher.

“But Naomi is supposed to join us.”

“It’s only a throuple.”

“Only,” Asher snorted.

“My mom is okay too. She’ll probably be a little taken aback, but she’ll assume it was my idea in the first place. Especially since I told her I’m bi. She’ll probably comment that I’m greedy and that instead of making the right choice, I always do whatever sounds best in the moment without thinking about the consequences. I can already hear her voice saying that.”

“At least they won’t worry that I coerced you into something,” Asher said.

Lucy burst out laughing and shook her head. “I’m quite open with my parents. And did you really need to convince me to join your harem? They wouldn’t believe it if I told them you forced me.”

Asher snorted, and when silence fell between them, he suggested they finally go inside.

Everyone, together with Sam, was in the living room, as Naomi was finishing telling them what had happened, continuing the story Ava and Sisi had already told them.

Asher joined, sitting next to Elara. She shifted closer, leaning against him, while Lucy joined in speaking about what had happened, adding her own parts. She also told them about the meeting with her father before they returned.

“And then we got back here,” Lucy finished, before getting up and dropping onto the couch next to Ava. “Sorry for interrupting your date at the worst possible moment. I promise I’ll make it up to you,” she said, hugging the fire mage.

“It’s okay,” Ava murmured, sitting stiffly and not hugging Lucy back.

“I’m going to prepare some food,” Naomi murmured, getting up and heading toward the kitchen.

“I’ll help you,” Sisi offered. But as she got up, she first stopped in front of Asher. She was wearing his hoodie again, far too big for her slim green body.

He grabbed her and pulled her onto his lap, tasting her sweet lips in a short kiss.

“Didn’t you buy new clothes today?” he asked.

“Lucy has them in her explorer bag,” the dryad replied.

“Oh right, I need to give them to you,” the pink-haired girl said. “We need to try it out. And show everyone what we bought.”

“I prefer this inside the house anyway,” the dryad replied, gesturing at the hoodie she was wearing.

“Don’t you want to show what we bought?” Lucy asked.

“I should help Nami,” Sisi replied, pecking Asher’s lips again before sliding off his lap and heading to the kitchen.

Lucy looked at Asher, then groaned. “Okay, I will help too. We’ll show you the new clothes later. Some of them are really hot.” She winked and headed out of the room.

“I’ll be upstairs,” Sam added, already leaving.

Ava got up from the couch and dropped down at Asher’s side, opposite Elara. She cuddled into him, throwing her leg over his lap, and the blonde on his left did the same, crossing her legs with the Latina. Their thighs were getting dangerously close to his cock.

For a moment, the three of them were quiet, with only the sounds from the kitchen in the background, before Elara spoke first. “How was your date?”

Asher and Ava told her about their laser tag game and the food at the restaurant. He wondered if he should mention the gift, but there was no way he could hide it.

“Ava bought me an amazing gift,” he said, showing Elara the bracelet. He took it off and passed it to her so she could check it out.

Elara put it on her wrist and her eyes widened, but she didn’t comment as she passed it back to him. “It’s really nice of you,” she added, glancing at the Latina.

“Thank you,” Asher said again before pulling Ava in for a kiss. As they started making out, Elara soon tugged gently at his arm, and he turned to kiss his blonde girlfriend next.

With both of them pressed against him, Asher kept swapping between who he was kissing until Naomi and her two helpers finished cooking for everyone. After calling for Sam, they ate together, with Lucy mostly explaining all the clothes they had seen at the mall.

Asher wondered who she was really talking to. He would much prefer to see them live on the girls. Ava clearly didn’t care, and he wasn’t sure if Sam or Elara cared either, but everyone listened and nodded while focusing on eating as Lucy babbled about it.

When they were finished, Asher offered that he and Ava would clean everything. As she looked at him, they exchanged glances and she nodded, picking up the plates and heading into the kitchen while everyone else went to their rooms or bathrooms.

Before they started cleaning, Asher grabbed her and turned her around, pushing her until her ass rested on the edge of the counter. He pressed himself close to her, connecting their lips in another kiss.

When they parted, he remained close, brushing her short black hair behind her ear and watching her gorgeous face up close.

“I wish our date wasn’t interrupted and we could have had some more one-on-one time,” he murmured.

“Having sex?” Ava asked.

“Ugh… not only,” Asher replied.

“I hoped for it,” she stated.

“We can still go to your room,” he offered. Then it crossed his mind that perhaps he should just grab her, carry her to her bed, and fuck her rather than asking again.

“No,” Ava sighed, killing the idea in his mind. “Just pay some more special attention to me when we fuck later before sleep.”

“It can be done,” he replied, smiling as he pulled her in for another kiss.

After some more making out, they cleaned the dishes, and as Ava headed upstairs to her room, he found Naomi already in her bed, sitting on her phone.

“Can I join you?” he asked.

After she nodded, he sat down next to her, sighing deeply.

“I’m sorry…” she muttered.

“Nami, you don’t have a reason to apologize,” he replied.

“I… I just don’t know what to say.”

“You don’t need to say anything,” he said, wrapping his arm around her and pulling her closer. She tensed at first, but it lasted only a fraction of a second before she relaxed and leaned into him.

They sat for a few minutes in silence before Naomi grunted softly. She shifted to look at him and parted her lips to say something, but then blushed and averted her gaze.

He put his hand on her back and stroked it softly, waiting for her to collect her thoughts and be ready to speak, actually enjoying just cuddling with her in peace, not talking at all.

“I-It’s about…” she whispered, this time trying to speak without looking at him. “What Lucy said to her father about… us.”

“Yeah,” Asher murmured.

“Are we like…” Nami trailed off.

He smiled softly, then cupped her face gently and shifted until she was looking at him. “Would you want that?”

“I… We don’t know each other that well…” she mumbled.

“I know,” Asher sighed. “And I’m sorry.”

“You don’t have a reason to apologize,” Nami quickly said with a soft smile.

“I do, because with this whole harem thing, I don’t pay you as much attention as I should,” he replied.

“I knew what I was getting myself into, and I don't feel like that,” Nami murmured. “We spend a lot of time together every day.”

“Well… yeah,” Asher replied, realizing that if anything were happening between them in a normal situation, at the start they would probably have days in between without spending so much time together. And yet they pretty much ended up in bed every day, kissing, cuddling, and talking. Beyond that, they were exploring, studying, and cooking together, so perhaps it was all in his head.

“We should just give it more time before we… name it,” Nami said quietly.

“You’re worth the wait,” Asher murmured.

She let out a soft gasp as she pressed herself closer into him, hugging him from the side. Shifting slowly, he lay down with Naomi next to him, closed his eyes, and just relaxed.

After a few minutes, Naomi raised her head from his chest but remained at his side before she whispered, “Are you asleep?”

He shook his head slightly, keeping his eyes closed.

First, her hot breath brushed over his lips before she kissed him softly. A bit surprised, he returned the kiss gently and slowly. As they made out, he kept her close to himself until suddenly she threw her leg over him and straddled him.

Her soft breasts squished against his chest as her weight rested on top of him. He opened his eyes, looking at her while still kissing, but she seemed completely lost in it. With his hands on her back, he focused on the kiss again.

It grew more passionate, Naomi first sneaking her tongue into his mouth, inviting him to push things further. His hands wandered down her body to cup her ass. She groaned into his mouth but didn’t stop kissing him.

With her straddling him, her crotch was pressed against part of his hard cock, and he could swear she was grinding a little against him.

Naomi was also the first to stop the kiss, raising her head. Her cheeks were flushed as she panted with her lips parted, watching him. She licked her lips, her gaze dropping to his mouth before lifting back to his eyes.

He raised his head to kiss her again, pulling her in for more, until she broke it once more. This time she shifted her head to rest it on the pillow next to his, her mouth close to his ear as she panted, out of breath.

“Y-You should go,” she whispered. “The others are waiting.”

Asher hummed, realizing he would love to spend more time there. Perhaps even the whole night. Not to have sex, but just to cuddle and kiss more. He had already promised Ava to have sex with her before sleep, and the others were waiting too, but perhaps he could arrange to stay the night with Naomi the next day.

“Just a few more minutes,” he murmured. “I want to cuddle a bit more.”

“J-Just cuddling?” Naomi asked.

“Yeah,” he replied, shifting his hands from her ass higher to her back.

Naomi didn’t answer, just relaxed, still lying on top of him.

But ultimately he decided he should go, and after a few small kisses he slipped out of her bed.

He left Naomi’s room, his hard cock still throbbing in his pants, and Rachel’s words returned to his mind. He wasn’t sure if that plan was going to work, or if Sam would even let him into her room after their encounter earlier. But it wasn’t even exactly an argument.

Standing there in the corridor, he wondered if it even made sense. Faced with a choice, he would pick Ava, Lucy, or Elara. Especially when the three of them were waiting together in one bed.

But Sam had great tits, and with her red hair loose she looked much better than with it braided. Thinking about her naked, about having sex with her, the decision became simple, and he headed upstairs.

It crossed his mind that she might not want to see him after their failed encounter earlier, but he still wanted to try. When he knocked on her door, it took her a moment to open it, and when she saw him she groaned, closing her eyes.

But before she could say anything, Asher stepped inside and pressed his lips against hers, grabbing her chin. Sam looked at him with wide eyes, surprised, as he pushed her deeper into the room, but then she returned the kiss.

His hand shot to her tits. She was only wearing a thin shirt, without a bra beneath, and as he groped them, Sam moaned into his mouth.

“What are you-” she started to say, but was cut short as she gasped when Asher pushed her back onto the bed.

In a second he was on top of her, and she parted her legs for him, though she was still wearing her pants. He kissed her again, and she returned it. It crossed his mind that this was much simpler than talking with her, and if that was how she preferred it, he was fine with that.

His hands wandered to her tits again, but this time he immediately pushed under her shirt, grabbing her soft naked flesh. With his cock still in his pants, he pressed against her crotch, causing her to moan and break their kiss as they both caught their breath.

Asher pulled the shirt that had bunched up off Sam as she raised her hands, freeing her tits beneath him. Both sagged slightly to the sides, but Asher’s mouth was immediately on them, his lips and tongue teasing her quickly hardening nipples.

“Bite it,” Sam groaned as he switched between her breasts.

He glanced up at her, but then decided to go with it. First he circled her nipple with his tongue to make it hard, but then he closed his teeth around it, trying to be gentle.

“Fuck!” Sam groaned, her hands going to the back of his head and pressing him harder into her tits.

He kept pleasuring her breasts until he couldn't stand his cock not being inside her anymore. Shifting higher, he pushed his pants down. Sam immediately joined in, getting rid of her own shorts and underwear, and as his cock brushed against her folds, she grabbed his shirt and pulled it off him.

Her hands brushed over his muscular chest before she grabbed him by the back of his neck and pulled him into another passionate kiss. He pressed his cock against her pussy, rubbing its length along her slit, but that wasn’t enough.

He reached between their bodies to position himself at her entrance and pushed inside. When she moaned from the sudden penetration, tilting her head back, he raised himself slightly, watching her face as his cock reached deeper into her body with every thrust.

Her red hair was braided, and while at first it crossed his mind to ask, he didn’t. He grabbed the hair ties and pulled them free. While slowly fucking her, he unbraided her hair until it lay loosely around her face.

“Much better,” he murmured, watching her a moment longer before leaning down to kiss her again.

He quickly started gaining pace, the need burning in his body after making out with Naomi for so long, and also from leaving Sam’s room earlier without anything happening. His thrusts grew firmer and deeper, causing a moan from her mouth every time he bottomed out inside her.

Sam pushed against his chest, stopping the kiss until he was kneeling between her legs, looking down at her. She brought her legs up toward her chest.

“Grab them,” she said, and as Asher took hold of her legs, he pressed them even closer toward her chest.

“Now fuck me hard,” Sam demanded.

Her large tits squeezed together, bouncing with every thrust, and with his gaze locked on them, he started to really pound her in this new position.

His pleasure was building quickly, the pressure in his balls rapidly increasing, and at the pace he was fucking Sam there was no way he could hold back his release. Her hot pussy felt too good around his cock sliding in and out, her folds brushing along its length, with Sam moaning after every thrust.

He groaned when the bliss burst through his shaft, and after a few more frantic thrusts his eyes closed on their own as his cock throbbed inside her body, filling her with his cum.

Sam groaned with pleasure, her body tensing as she joined him in her own release, finishing just after him. His cock spread her insides, the feeling of him filling her pushing her over the edge as she grabbed his shoulder and pulled him down for a kiss, her legs parting and falling around him onto the bed.

Despite their orgasms, they kissed sloppily with him lying fully on top of her.

Only when he was completely done did he pull out of her filled pussy and drop onto the bed next to her, panting. Lying on their backs, they caught their breath together, but then Asher grabbed her and pulled her toward himself.

“What are you doing?” Sam asked, still out of breath, her red hair disheveled after sex and him quickly unbraiding it.

He didn’t answer, just hugged her, cuddling with yet another woman, this time at least after sex. Sam looked at him for a moment longer before resting her head on his shoulder.

But it lasted only a moment before she raised her head to look at him again.

“Why did you do that?” she asked with a frown.

“Because I was horny,” he shrugged.

“You could have fucked Elara.”

“Or Ava. Lucy. Sisi. Rachel,” he murmured.

Sam’s green eyes remained focused on his face as she stared at him, confused, but he didn’t say anything more. He was just as confused. At least he had found out that with Sam he just needed to fuck her rather than ask if she wanted to grind experience. Her reactions had been answer enough.

But would it only be sex? More? Sam had declared she wasn’t interested in anything romantic, but apparently what she said didn’t exactly match what she wanted. And then there was still the secret she and Naomi were hiding from him.

After a while, he decided it was time to leave and head to his bed. As he turned them around, Sam ended up on her back again. He kissed her one more time before his gaze moved to her tits.

He couldn’t stop himself from grabbing both of them and squeezing them together. Sam looked like she had perfect tits to fuck too, but he had messed up that talk with El before and needed to think of a way to bring it up again without making her angry. Probably just trying with her first.

“What?” Sam asked.

“You have amazing tits,” he replied, squeezing them a little harder.

Sam grunted but didn’t stop him from playing with her soft mounds as she stared deeply at him.

“Shouldn’t you go to your girlfriends?” Sam asked.

“Probably,” he replied, still amazed by her breasts and unable to pull himself away. But with his cock starting to grow hard again, and knowing he needed some strength left for the others, he finally pulled himself away. As Sam remained naked on the bed, he wondered if he should say something. It felt like he should, but his mind was blank.

“It was amazing,” he murmured finally, leaning down to kiss her again before putting his clothes on and heading for a shower. He was glad that the situation with Sam had gone from conflicted to confused.

After a quick shower, he headed to his room where Elara, Ava, Lucy, and Sisi were waiting for him.

Five minutes later, with all of them naked in bed, he was fucking Ava first, giving her more of his attention that night. The other girls seemed to understand and watched as the two of them kissed while he worked his cock in her pussy. Her long legs were wrapped around him, keeping them connected in a close embrace as her hands wandered over his back.

His phone rang, interrupting their deep kiss.

“No,” Ava groaned, tightening her legs and arms around him, not letting him go.

“I’ll answer it,” Lucy replied quickly, looking for his phone.

Asher returned to kissing Ava, but his thoughts were already occupied. There was really only one person who could call him at this hour, after ruling out everyone else who was currently in bed with him.

“Hey,” Lucy said, picking up the phone. “Lucy. Yes. No. Are you drunk?” she asked with a giggle. “I can give you Asher, but at the moment he is-”

“Lucy,” Asher said, reaching his hand toward her for the phone while pulling his cock out of Ava’s pussy and shifting back slightly to sit on his legs.

“Maddy?” he asked, already suspecting it was her.

“Hey,” she said, dragging the word out for too long.

“Are you okay?”

“Yeah.”

“Are you still at the party?” Asher asked.

“Yeah,” she replied. “But I want to go home.”

“No,” Asher replied. “I mean, don’t go alone,” he added quickly. “I’ll come pick you up.”

“I would really like that,” she said, then giggled.

“Where are you?” Asher asked.

“At Zoe’s place.”

“Can you send me the address? And don’t go out,” Asher said.

“I’m not going anywhere without you,” she replied, though she was slurring a little.

“And don’t drink anymore, okay?” Asher asked.

Maddy didn’t reply, just giggled.

“Maddy?” Asher asked, shocked that she really got drunk.

“What?”

“Don’t drink anymore and send me the address.”

“I’ll finish my beer and send you the address,” she replied, giggling, before ending the call.

“Maddy?” Asher asked, then looked at his phone to confirm she had hung up.

“I need to go pick her up,” Asher said.

“Seriously?” Ava asked.

“Yes, she’s drunk and wants to go home,” he replied.

“Go,” Elara said.

“I can drive you there,” Lucy offered.

Ava looked at El, then at Lucy, before groaning and dropping back onto the bed.

“You can live one night without sex,” Elara replied.

“You don’t need a cock to have sex,” Lucy added with a smirk. When Ava looked at her, Lucy shifted her gaze suggestively toward Elara and Sisi. “And don’t forget you can pretty much fuck yourself with your elementals,” she added, then ducked down as Ava tossed a pillow at her.

“I really need to go,” Asher said, leaning down to kiss Ava.

“Okay, okay…” she murmured. “But we still must have sex later today. I didn’t get my stack.”

“And it’s all only about the stack?” Asher asked with a smile.

“Yes,” Ava replied.

He snorted and kissed her again, but broke it quickly, especially since he still needed to kiss Elara and Sisi before slipping out of the bed. His blonde girlfriend offered to go with them, but he refused, telling her to stay and rest since he and Lucy could handle it.

While putting his clothes on, he received the address in a text from Madelyn, and then he and Lucy headed to her car.

“You really like her,” Lucy said after starting the engine.

“As my friend,” Asher replied.

“Yeah?” Lucy asked with a smirk. “You were fucking Ava - the hottest Latina in the whole city. She would do anything for you, but Madelyn calls and you drop everything and rush to pick her up from some party.”

“It’s complicated…” Asher murmured.

“Like everything,” Lucy snorted. “You’re involved with seven women. And Madelyn.”

“She’s just a friend,” he replied.

“Sure,” Lucy snorted.

Fortunately for him, the place was close, and they arrived soon. He asked Lucy to wait in the car while he headed to the address.

Asher knocked on the door, and it took some time - long enough for him to check if it was the right place - before someone opened it. It was the goth girl he had met during one of his first days at the Academy.

“Zoe, right?” he asked.

“Yup. And you’re Maddy’s bodyguard,” she replied with a grin. “What are you doing here? It’s a girls-only party.”

“Maddy called me,” he replied. “To pick her up.”

“She did?” Zoe asked, surprised. “She’s a bit drunk. Maddy!” she shouted, turning back inside.

It didn’t take long before the blonde appeared, wearing an oversized hoodie and loose pants, her face a bit red, especially visible against her pale complexion, as she grinned when she saw Asher.

“You’re here!” she gasped, heading toward him, though she had trouble walking in a straight line.

“You called,” Asher muttered, shocked to see her in that state.

“I want to go home,” Maddy murmured, leaning against the wall as she stopped next to him and Zoe.

“Hey, we’re still drinking,” Zoe protested.

“I think she’s had enough,” Asher replied.

“What are you? Her-” Zoe started to say.

“I’ve had enough,” Maddy interrupted, cutting her off. “If he says so,” she added, before giggling again.

Zoe looked from Maddy to Asher. “Will you take her safely back to the Academy?”

“Of course,” he replied.

“Okay then,” Zoe shrugged.

“Do you have your things with you?” Asher asked, looking at Maddy.

She stared at him for a moment, then giggled again and shook her head. Then she walked out, stumbling a little from side to side.

“Don’t you have a girlfriend?” Zoe asked when Madelyn walked away.

“I do,” Asher replied.

Zoe stared at him in silence.

“She knows I’m here,” he added. “Maddy and I are just friends.”

The goth girl kept staring at him without saying anything, but he decided to stay silent too instead of trying to explain himself further.

“Ready,” Maddy said as she came back, stumbling a little at the last moment before he instinctively caught her.

“Thanks,” she murmured, looking at him with a drunk grin as he helped her stand straight.

“Thanks for coming, Maddy,” Zoe said.

After Madelyn mumbled something in response, Asher headed with her toward the car where Lucy was waiting for them.

---

This chapter ended up a bit shorter than usual, and it finished at a somewhat weird point, but I need more time to think about what Maddy is going to tell / do while tipsy. I have a few ideas, and some of them could possibly have a huge impact on her plot line, so I need to put more thought into what’s going to happen.

Also, I want to apologize for not updating statuses and the lack of level-ups in the latest chapters. I lost count of what levels they should be, and there are most likely some missed notifications about level-ups. I was trying to keep track of it, but with so many women having individual counters there’s a lot to keep track of. Then in one of the chapters I didn't update it, and after that it just continued further. I was postponing an update all the time, and now it's really behind. My bad, I’m sorry. I plan to sit down and go through the chapters to fix the mess, and Asher and his harem are going to have a talk about skills and levels the next day to catch up with it.

I’m also delayed in reading comments and messages. I’ll try to catch up with all of them in the coming week.

It kind of snuck up on me, and I only realized today, but we are already at chapter fifty. It’s been a long journey that I didn’t expect would last this long when I started. Especially since my previous “attempts” at writing always ended at less than two pages in Word before they were forgotten in the depths of folders on my computer. Now it’s over two years of writing and publishing Harem Master, with over a year of publishing chapters regularly every two weeks. I’m really happy that I managed that, but even more, I’m grateful for you - all the support, comments, messages, and likes. And for all the amazing people I’ve met along the way that helped me grew as a writer.

About the future of Harem Master… Just like when I started, I had no idea how long it would go, and I still can’t really tell. I could make some wild guesses, but they would probably be wrong, so I’ll hold back on that. But it certainly isn’t going to end anytime soon, and I hope you’ll stick with me, Harem Master, and his harem for longer.

Thanks again, and until the next chapter.

Congrats on chapter 50! I like the direction with Sam in this chapter.

RR

Ava's my favorite of all the girls. She's low drama, intelligent, powerful, and hot... That said, I feel like she really screwed the last two chapters while barely being fucked.

CRB0628

Yippee!! I love this story more with every chapter. I appreciate all of the work that you put into it and as much as I look forward to "The Collector" I sometimes wish you would swap the schedules for the two and give us more Harem Master! Love, love, love it!

Emily

My first time commenting but I absolutely love this story!!! I get so excited every time I get a notification that it’s been updated!! I love the way Sam and Asher are progressing, and I can’t wait to learn more abt her. Really hoping Maddy does something to suggest romantic feeling towards Asher 👀. Much love!!! ❤️❤️❤️

Gemini_Storm8

Loving the story so far, though I admitted don't care for Sam's antics (if you're gonna go into the realm of nonconsent or free use, you gotta talk boundaries, but they're all barely adults so I can understand some stumbles and hope they find their equilibrium). As far as Maddy goes, I'm seeing a dynamic developing with the "I'm done drinking if he says I am" so there is certainly a potential for her not necessarily overstep boundaries, but to push them. I can see her flirting with him a bit, then being flustered as *hell* the next day when she wakes up with faded memories.

StokedChaos

Even if “short” this chapter really moved the story forward on several fronts and raised new problems. My favorite chapters are the ones that move the story forward. Sex or not

Trav

Really really hoping Maddy joins the harem. Loving the story!

plainoldturkey

Yes!, I agree with the congratulations. Also, Get in there and give Sam more loving. Can't wait to see how the situation with Maddie's story line progresses.

Ranzic

What’s everyone’s thoughts on the bikini armor anime trope? Thinking Elara could look like Rikku from FFX 🤣

Zaralith

Hopefully this story continues for a long time to come, I look forward to seeing how the Maddy situation gets resolved

Billy Jones

I think the tension with Maddy is half the reason i come back to read this each time. I hope things don't progress too fast. Loving how Lucy has the energy and stubbornness to keep the harem driving forward, I wasn't sold on her at first. All the personalities are meshing nicely.

RadAsha Nightstrider

Saying that Lucy and Asher never discussed the boyfriend/girlfriend thing isn't true. Lucy made it clear when she joined the harem she wanted girlfriend status and he agreed. Elara even blessed off on it

Danoe B-G

Just adding my thoughts, not trying to correct you. When Lucy joined I believe she was just asking and confirming that the possibility was open, and Elara agreed that it would be unreasonable to deny Asher a romantic relationship with the other girls. I don't think they fully agreed that day that Lucy was Asher's girlfriend and that Elara was ok with it. Now I guess he has 3 official girlfriends, 1 or probably 2 on the way, and 2 FWB. And whatever sisi has with him, not exactly a girlfriend but something

RadAsha Nightstrider

Currently, Elara, Ava, and Lucy are his girlfriends. Nami has been approved officially to become his girlfriend. Rachel and Sam are FWBs. Sisi doesn't have a label and Maddie is a friend who has been pre-approved to join the harem and become a girlfriend if she becomes comfortable with it

RadAsha Nightstrider

Maddie is the wild card. If Elara hadn't been in the room the other girls would have revolted for Asher leaving like that. None of the other girls know Maddie's background so don't understand why Elara pushed him to go without questions asked.

RadAsha Nightstrider

I think Asher will play the role as Maddie's "safe space" for a long time, though I could see her using him as a pretend boyfriend to keep other guys away.

RadAsha Nightstrider

Sam told him exactly what she wants, damn near in plain speech, he just didn't have the experience to understand what she wanted. Rachel explained what she thought Sam wanted ans Ash tested the theory. There was no noncon element; he gave her several opportunities to say "no". Sam made it clear she finds him asking her to be a turn-off, so he paused to ensure he had her consent (safe word might be appropriate). He could have gotten a bit rougher and still been within the boundary she set. Maddie is different from his other girls; I could see her as being happy with a "soft dom". To me it appears that Maddie sees Ash as her "safe space"; she called him and told him what she wants. Ash showed up to pick her up and she stated plainly "I'm done drinking if he says I am". Maddie has difficulty saying "no" to people, so she used Ash to protect her from peer pressure she was feeling. Essentially she didn't say "no" to her team, she said "yes" to Ash

RadAsha Nightstrider

Bikini armor worked great in "Dungeons and Dalliances", but Natalie, as a Paladin of Lust, was an exception, not the rule, due to the passive buffs arousal of her and her team caused

Itsasecret

I thought this chapter was really good, much like many of the other comments. Especially resolving a lot of the issues from last chapter and Asher realising how much of the perceived issues are becuse of his own interpretations of situations. Really looking forward to seeing where it goes with Maddy but feel so sorry for Ava, having been interrupted twice. If Maddy wasn't so drunk, I'd have considered asking her permission to explain at least some of her situation to Ava, whilst making it clear that it's her choice. Ava needs some explanation as to why she was treated like that, otherwise she will feel like she's less important to him.

Itsasecret

Also, congratulations on 50 chapters. Personally I hope it carries on for a long time as I'm really enjoying the series and the characters 😇. Good luck on catching up with the level ups.

Mahdi

Thanks for the perseverance of continuing this story.🙏 Getting this far answered some of the questions about the creators of earth and the dungeons, though I hope you would follow up on how the goblin was able to enter the human world and attack Asher and Elara at their home at the beginning chapters. Maybe a dungeon breach that is expanding? Also, I think that Asher will have to talk to Rachel soon and explain about the mission he got from Rosalind to save the world. And I think he would have to reveal his class to the academy, as he mentioned that he might do it after talking with his harem. Hopefully the academy will understand and work with him to help him succeed with the mission that Rosalind has given him. Another suggestion is the ability of Asher to take monsters as pets and talk to them. Having Sisi in the team would be a good opportunity of using her to establish relations with her people (like the village of dryads she mentioned) making Asher a diplomat sent from earth to the dungeon world to find friendly and intelligent allies. I also like the fact that there is some variety in the storytelling where you mentioned incidents happening in the academy (like the confrontation between Ava and her brother or Lucy getting arrested). It improves upon the monotone narrative of just Asher having sex with his Harem and then going on Dungeon quests and just leveling up. Anyway I look forward to future chapters and keep up the good work.

Keld

Yeah I like Ava too for sure. Especially now that she's realized and accepted what her feelings were and are. He'll certainly have to try and make it up to her! I think this chapter also just hilighted how tough it would really be to have 7 and growing girlfriends or at least "situationships" to take care of. Someone's always going to be getting left out, and often that gets glossed over especially on crazy ones where they get up to 15, 20, 30+ harem members lol (Quaranteam I'm looking at you!)

Keld

Congrats on 50 chapters!! I only found your work maybe 2 weeks ago, first on Lit and now on here, but I'm certainly hooked. I powered through Harem Master & The Collector and now join the ranks of those hungrily hitting refresh every day for more. lol As others have said, take your time to get Maddy's arc right. She's one of my favorites, an even slower burn than Nami. A great counter to Lucy's over the top personality and lust. It'd be easy to take her into some drunken admissions, and I still think that's probably the play, but she's gonna be embarassed as hell the next day. He should maybe take her to the house, too, just so she's not left alone in this state (in the spare bedroom, not for sex) ... could be a nice show of care towards her that she'll appreciate later (and help her subconsious associate it with home), but also might be a chance to amplify the embarassment depending on the rest of the teams morning antics the next day. 😱 Poor Ava, he's gonna have to try and make it up to her somehow!

Johnathon Murray

Have you thought of using D&D character sheets for each character that you can update as you are writing the chapters then you could easily append with the posted chapters each week. I am always lost on the upgrades to the available skills and seeing the new skills upgrade abilities after upgrade isn't posted as much. Might take a bit to get going as they are a bit more expensive.
