Harem Master Chapter 55 (Patreon)

--- Asher Montgomery ---

When Asher stirred from sleep, it was already getting bright, though still very early in the morning. He was spooning Naomi, holding her in his arms, her ass pressed against his crotch, his hard cock nestled between her soft cheeks. With both of them wearing only their underwear, it was the closest his cock had come to touching her body, and even though they were lying completely still, it felt incredible to be so close to her.

One of his hands rested on her bare breasts, cupping one of them, his fingers sinking into her soft flesh. Barely moving his palm, he brushed against her already hardened nipple, drawing a small gasp from her.

“Are you awake?” Naomi whispered.

“Yeah. Sorry if I woke you,” Asher murmured, his lips close to her ear.

“I-I was awake.”

Asher just hummed, tightening his grip slightly to fully cup her breast, gently squeezing it.

“D-Does it ever go down?” Naomi asked, so quietly he could only hear her because of the complete silence filling the bright morning. As if it wasn’t obvious what she meant, she shifted her hips just a little, rubbing her ass against his cock.

“Not around you,” he replied, a spark of lust quickly igniting in his loins after a whole night of cuddling, kissing, groping… but not pushing things any further.

“Does Elara work like that on you too?” Naomi asked.

Asher hesitated, at a loss for words. A lie would be obvious, but the truth didn’t feel like something Naomi would want to hear.

“I’m sorry,” she mumbled before he could answer. “That was a stupid question.”

“You’re both hot, gorgeous, and special in your own way,” Asher said, pulling Naomi closer while keeping his hand on her boobs, her soft flesh filling his palm, spilling between his fingers.

Naomi moaned softly, her hard nipple brushing against his hand as she wiggled her ass against his shaft again. For a moment, the only sounds in the room were their deeper, quicker breaths, before she started turning around in his arms.

Their eyes met for just a second before Naomi closed hers and pressed her lips to his, the kiss quickly growing more passionate. Encouraged by her initiative, Asher pulled her tightly against him again, his cock brushing somewhere along her thighs as her slim body clung to his.

They made out for barely a minute before Naomi pushed forward, forcing Asher onto his back, and slowly climbed on top of him, straddling his thighs, her crotch pressing against the base of his throbbing cock.

Naomi pulled back, sitting on top of him, looking down with parted lips as she breathed deeply, her pussy pressing more firmly against his manhood, their underwear still in the way.

Asher’s gaze dropped immediately. For the first time, he had a chance to have a good look at her tits. They weren’t as large as Rachel’s, but on Naomi’s smaller frame they looked bigger, hanging slightly, forming soft teardrops with large, dark nipples.

Naomi let out a soft grunt as she noticed where his gaze had wandered. Her body curled slightly as she brought her hands a bit forward, pressing them against the sides of her breasts, as if trying to cover herself, but only pushing them together, giving him an even better view.

“God… I was thinking Lucy had the best tits, but now I’m not so sure,” Asher murmured, unable to tear his eyes away, his hands itching to move and tease those hard poking nipples.

“Y-You’re making rankings?” Naomi asked.

“No!” Asher protested quickly, then frowned. “I mean… it’s not like I sit down and judge you all in categories, but… sometimes it’s hard not to compare certain things.”

Naomi stared at him in silence, worry creeping into his mind, but she was still sitting on top of him, half-naked, so it couldn’t be that bad.

“I’m sorry,” Asher murmured.

“D-Do I… ugh… win in any of those categories?” Naomi asked quietly, averting her gaze.

Asher didn’t answer immediately, surprised by the question, but he didn’t need time to know where he would put her on top of the list.

“Now you’re probably tied with Lucy for best…” he trailed off, glancing back at her tits before lifting his gaze to meet her brown eyes again. “But you’re definitely the cutest,” he added softly, feeling a bit strange comparing them like that.

“Cute?” Naomi frowned. “That’s… not good?”

“What?”

“Ugh… you know. Elara is very… attractive. And I’m cute,” Naomi said, speaking as if there was something wrong with being adorable.

“Cute to the point where every time I’m around you, I want to hold you, kiss you… and do other things that aren’t exactly cute,” Asher replied.

Naomi didn’t answer, staring at him with a frown, clearly thinking it over.

“And you know,” Asher added, “being hot or having the best ass is only about looks, while being cute is about both looks and personality.”

A bit of relief washed over Asher when Naomi finally smiled. She looked really adorable gazing down at him, though her tits, inches from his face, were definitely pushing things more toward hot than cute.

Naomi leaned down, pressing her breasts into his chest, while at the same time moving her hips, rubbing her pussy along his shaft, letting out a sudden soft moan. She completely froze, her eyes widening as she stared at Asher up close, a shiver running through her body.

“You okay?” Asher whispered.

She blushed furiously, her cheeks darkening in an instant as she averted her gaze, then pressed herself more tightly against him, burying her face in his neck.

She was panting even more than before, her hot breath tickling his skin as he wrapped his arms around her, brushing over her naked back.

Naomi moved again, pressing her hips down and up, rubbing her crotch against the bulge in his boxers. She let out a soft whimper before freezing again, panting.

He slid his hand lower until it rested on her ass, and as he squeezed her soft flesh, Naomi moaned louder. She moved her hips again and again, rubbing herself against him, her lips brushing along his neck as she slowly trailed upward until they found his, and they melted into a kiss.

They made out as she pressed herself more and more firmly against him, picking up pace, pushing harder, until a louder moan escaped her lips.

Naomi broke the kiss, her brown eyes locking onto his. For a moment, everything stopped as she just stared at him. Then she slid off, sitting beside him on the bed, closing her legs as she reached for her underwear and started to pull it down.

Even with her turned slightly away, he could see her face flush again as she got completely naked for him. After she dropped her panties to the side, Asher couldn’t see her crotch, but she shyly turned back toward him, flicking her gaze to his face before quickly looking down along his body.

Asher was barely holding back from throwing himself at this cute naked goddess in front of him, but he felt like this was the last step she needed to take on her own.

And she did.

She swung her leg over his hips, settling back on top of him, closing her eyes as she rested her hands on his chest and pressed her bare pussy against the bulge in his boxers. Her breath was shaky as she completely froze again.

There was just one last layer of clothing between them, and Asher really wanted to get rid of it.

Naomi let out the cutest whimper as she ground herself against him, her body trembling, her lips parting.

Asher raised his hands to her chest, grabbing her tits and squeezing them as Naomi began to move her hips up and down along his length, her breath quickening between soft, broken moans.

He wanted to tell her how beautiful she was, how hot she looked, but speaking felt wrong, like it would break the moment. They were both slowly being consumed by it, letting things go further than ever before.

When Naomi looked down at him, her pussy pressed firmly against his shaft, she stopped moving for a moment. He could see it in her eyes. They were going to do it. She was ready. And he was too.

Naomi lay down on top of him, pressing her soft lips to his. The kiss was slow, but her hands immediately moved down his body, finding the hem of his boxers and starting to tug them down as she raised her hips.

The door to the room burst open without warning, slamming into the wall.

“Naomi!” Sam screamed, panic in her voice, tears already streaming down her face as she rushed inside.

--- Sam West ---

Sam stumbled out of a nightclub, nearly falling against the wall of the building she had spent the last… She had no idea how long she’d been there, but it was fucking amazing. Giggling drunkenly, she headed toward home.

She took a few wrong turns, not because she was lost, but because something kept catching her interest, pulling her off course, only for it to be gone by the time she got there. Chasing after things that weren’t there anymore cost her even more time before she finally reached her house, stepping inside to complete silence. Her parents were gone again.

“Oops!” she said, giggling as she realized she’d come back to the wrong house. The one she was supposed to end up at definitely shouldn’t be empty. Naomi should be there, fucking their boyfriend.

“Our boyfriend,” Sam giggled. In the end, she had turned down Jackson, and then a few guys in the club who got a little too handsy, with the thought that she was off-limits to anyone but Asher now.

If only he’d take some Nabuk with her, then their sex could finally be good. Maybe it would help him lose some inhibitions…

Hungry, not just for cock, Sam headed into the kitchen, where an empty fridge greeted her with nothing but a bottle of wine and a six-pack of beer. Faced with a difficult choice, she grabbed the wine and, leaving the fridge open, wandered through the empty house toward her room, already drinking her newfound meal.

Only when she reached her room did she realize she couldn’t sleep in her comfy bed. She needed to be back in her room at their house at the Academy. Otherwise, Nami would know she’d been out all night.

Rose probably already knew.

“Fuck you, you angel bitch!” Sam shouted, then giggled to herself as she left her room. “You can lick my ass. I don’t give a fuck about you.”

She kept insulting Rose until she somehow managed to find her way to her car. She’d had a few drinks at the club, but then she’d spent a long time walking, sobering up along the way. Her gaze drifted to the bottle of wine still in her hand, but then she just got into the car, setting the bottle in the door compartment, grabbing her keys from her explorer bag, and driving out of the garage.

She sped through the city. The streets were completely empty as she slalomed between lanes. She even stopped at a red light, took a few sips of her wine, then continued toward the Academy.

Fortunately, the drive was short, because she was starting to get sleepy. She giggled at the thought that this was the least of the reasons she should be worried about driving in her current state.

As she got close to her new house, she wondered if she’d hear Naomi and Asher moaning together, and whether he had finally popped her cherry. Just before she parked next to Lucy’s car, her own bumped into something, and she jumped in her seat.

She hit the brakes, stopping in place, and looked behind her, wondering if it had been a branch. But she didn’t see anything… though she wasn’t even sure where she was looking anymore. Was that the house? Maybe… Could she have hit something?

Sam stumbled out of the car and walked around it, then froze, her blood running cold as she spotted a body on the ground.

And not just anyone.

She would recognize her anywhere, anytime.

“Naomi!” Sam gasped, rushing to her and dropping to her knees. Naomi was covered in blood, her head soaked even worse than it had been in the dungeon, and she was unconscious.

After Sam had run her over.

“No, no, no, Naomi, wake up!” Sam cried, shaking the smaller girl, tears streaming down her face. She pulled out a health potion out of her explorer bag, and tried to pour it into Naomi’s mouth, but it just spilled out.

“Swallow it!” Sam gasped, trying again. “Please, please, please…” she repeated, grabbing a second potion after the first one ran down Naomi’s face and onto the ground.

“Why isn’t it working?!” Sam sobbed, pulling Naomi against her as she cried hysterically.

“You’ll drag her down with you,” someone suddenly said behind her.

“What?!” Sam gasped, trying to turn, but suddenly Naomi was no longer in her arms.

She wasn’t kneeling on the grass anymore.

She was back in her car, behind the steering wheel, parked next to the house.

It was just a dream.

Was it?

Her forehead throbbed. She must have hit the steering wheel. Maybe she passed out…

After she drove over Naomi.

“Oh my god…” Sam muttered, scrambling out of the car. But Naomi wasn’t there anymore.

“It was just a dream… just a dream…” she repeated, running toward their new house, tears streaming down her face, praying it was true, that she’d find Naomi safe and alive inside.

--- Asher Montgomery ---

One moment Naomi was naked on top of him, pulling his boxers down, and the next Sam was rushing at them, tackling the girl off him, both of them falling from the bed onto the floor.

“Sam!” Naomi squeaked.

“I’m so sorry. I’m so sorry. I’m sorry…” Sam muttered, tears streaming down her face.

Asher shifted to the edge of the bed, looking at them. Sam looked terrible, and the scent of alcohol hit him.

“You did it again,” Naomi accused with a frown, pushing herself away from Sam.

“What did-” Asher started to ask, but was interrupted.

“What the fuck is going on?” Elara asked, stepping into the room wearing only a loose shirt and panties. She was followed by Ava in similar clothing, then Lucy and Sisi, each wearing one of Asher’s hoodies.

“Let me go!” Naomi squealed as everyone suddenly crowded into the room, staring at her naked. Asher grabbed his shirt and handed it to her, and she quickly pulled it on, trying to hide as much as she could behind the bed. Meanwhile, Sam curled up against the wall, hiding her face in her hands between her knees as she cried.

“What’s going on?” Asher asked, looking at Naomi once she was at least partially covered, still kneeling behind the bed next to Sam.

Naomi looked at him with a pained expression before averting her gaze and shaking her head. “I-I promised…” she muttered.

“Naomi?” Asher pressed.

“Leave her alone!” Sam gasped. “It’s not her fault! I’m fucked up! I’m a junkie! It’s all my fault!” She curled up again, weeping, while the rest of them stood in silence that stretched for long seconds.

“Nabuk?” Ava asked, finally breaking it.

Sam lifted her gaze toward the Latina, then looked away and nodded. “Fuck,” she grunted, suddenly bringing a hand to her mouth. She retched, then scrambled to her feet and ran out of the room.

Naomi moved after her first, the rest following. They found Sam in the bathroom, kneeling in front of the toilet, puking. Naomi was at her side, pulling her hair back.

“She shouldn’t be throwing up after Nabuk,” Ava said with a frown.

“She reeks of alcohol,” Asher murmured.

Naomi glanced at him, tears all over her face, looking as if she wanted to say something, but then she looked away, kneeling beside Sam, brushing her back and still holding her red hair up.

“Fuck…” Sam groaned, straightening up with a sigh of relief before dropping back onto her ass, resting against the wall, her head falling to the side.

“S-Sam?” Naomi asked, shaking the tank gently, but she was completely out. The black-haired girl glanced at the rest of the team watching them, then quickly looked away, tears still streaming down her face.

“What the fuck?!” Elara finally snapped. “She’s taking drugs?!”

Naomi flinched back on the bathroom floor between the toilet and the unconscious Sam.

“Let’s move to the living room,” Asher said, already turning to leave.

“What-” Elara started.

“El,” Asher said, grabbing her arm to turn her around and push her out of the room. The rest followed, with Naomi moving last, looking like she was trying to curl up and vanish inside his too-big shirt, standing awkwardly at the entrance to the living room where their whole team had gathered, except for Sam, who remained on the bathroom floor.

“What the fuck is going on?” Elara asked.

“S-Sam has a problem…” Naomi stammered. “But she promised she would never take it again…”

“She’s addicted?” Asher asked.

“Yeah,” Naomi whimpered.

“And you didn’t notice anything?” Elara accused, glaring at Asher.

“How was I supposed to?”

“I don’t know, maybe because you’re fucking her.”

“It’s not like she was taking them with me around,” Asher protested. “I knew something was off, but Naomi promised that if it became important, she would tell me.”

“I… I…” Naomi stammered. “When she’s sober, i-it doesn’t matter, and she can explore.”

“And if she was high or hungover after a whole night out, would you tell us?” Elara almost growled. “Or pretend nothing’s wrong and let us walk into a dungeon with a useless junkie?!”

“I-I would…” Naomi murmured.

Elara snorted in disbelief. “Are you taking it too?!”

“W-What? No!” Naomi protested firmly. “I would never…”

“And I’m supposed to believe you?” Elara asked.

“Hey, leave her alone,” Lucy cut in, stepping in front of Naomi, placing herself between her and Elara. “She doesn’t do drugs, and it’s not her fault that Sam does.”

“But she knew all this time and didn’t say a word,” Elara replied.

Lucy frowned and didn’t answer, but stayed in front of Naomi like a shield.

“How often does she take it?” Ava asked.

“N-Now?” Naomi asked. “Not as often…”

“And before?” Elara pressed.

“Um… T-There were times when she was taking it every day, but now she doesn’t take that much. Like… once a week. She’s trying to stop.”

“Once a week,” Elara gasped. “And that’s her trying?! She’s doing great,” she added with sarcasm. “We should all congratulate her on her effort.”

“I-I’m sorry,” Naomi stammered, bursting into even more tears.

“Hey, it’s okay,” Lucy said, turning and wrapping her arms around her, pulling her into her chest.

“No, it’s not fucking okay!” Elara snapped.

“Don’t you have training?” Lucy shot back. “Now’s not the time for this. Go yell at Sam if you want, it’s her fault. Nami didn’t do anything.”

“She-” Elara started to speak.

“El!” Asher cut in, stopping her.

“What?”

“You do have your training starting soon,” he said, hoping it would help her let off some steam and that the situation would calm down so they could actually talk about it, instead of screaming and accusing Naomi, who was hysterical at the moment and barely able to answer anything.

“So what? Are we going to ignore it?” Elara asked.

“Not ignore it, but we have classes, and…” He trailed off, glancing toward the bathroom. “There’s no way we’re going into the dungeon today, so we have the evening free to… think and talk about what to do when we can calm down.”

Naomi whimpered into Lucy’s chest.

When the pink-haired girl looked at Asher, he nodded toward the corridor. She understood, murmuring something quietly to Naomi before leading her out of the living room, still holding her close, toward one of their rooms.

“Fucking perfect!” Elara groaned, stomping out into the corridor. She slammed the bathroom door, muttered something under her breath, and then angrily headed upstairs to the other bathroom.

Asher sighed, turning his gaze to Ava. “What are you thinking?” he asked.

“If Sam can limit herself, it might be best for us if she keeps taking it. Just not on days when we need to explore, or the day before,” Ava said.

“It’s not good for her, and she was taking it every day,” Asher replied. “I don't think she can limit or control herself.”

“Then we need to find a new tank,” Ava replied.

“Let’s not make any rash decisions,” Asher said. “We… need to talk with Sam, and with Naomi when she calms down, and… then decide something.”

“There’s not a lot to decide here, Asher,” Ava replied. “If she can’t give one hundred percent of herself in the dungeon, we should get rid of her. She wasn’t the best choice from the start, and now she’s a liability.”

“And where will we find a new member?” Asher asked. “Tanks are mostly men, and we’d need to find someone who wouldn’t have a problem with my class.”

“Rachel definitely has candidates who were rejected. Maybe they won’t be the best, but they’d eagerly step into Sam’s place and wouldn’t cause problems because of drugs. And you are again talking about your class like it’s some kind of issue, but it’s not. Most women would jump at the chance to get their class boosted and…” Ava trailed off, falling silent for a moment. “And… and then find out that those boosts aren’t even the best thing about joining your harem,” she murmured.

Asher just stood there without a word, thrown off balance by the sudden shift in topic.

“Ugh…” Ava grunted. “Feelings are distracting,” she murmured, stepping closer to him.

Asher snorted, but before he could say anything, she pressed her lips against his, pushing her slim body into his.

“I would’ve never guessed I’d say something like that…” Ava murmured. “But I missed hugging you while sleeping.”

“I missed you too,” Asher replied, kissing the Latina in his arms again. They made out for a longer moment before Ava pulled away, keeping her hands on his chest and her hips pressed against him.

“We’ll need to kick Sam out of the team if she can’t handle her problem,” she said, patting his chest before turning and heading upstairs.

Asher was left in the living room with Sisi, who had been silent the whole time, just listening, now with her golden eyes fixed on him.

“What’s Nabuk?” she asked.

Asher sighed, realizing the dryad had heard everything, probably without understanding half of it. “Let’s sit,” he said, moving to the couch, still only in his boxers, while Sisi wore just his hoodie, and he’d bet everything he had that there was nothing underneath it.

“Do you remember the cider you drank on girls’ night?” Asher asked.

“Yeah…” Sisi nodded.

“So Nabuk is even stronger, and it’s not alcohol, it’s a drug made from ingredients found in dungeons. I don’t know exactly what or how, I only learned about it recently myself. But apparently, besides making you feel much better than alcohol, it’s also very addictive. It doesn’t have physical aftereffects, you’re not hungover like with alcohol. I didn’t look too deeply into it, but there are studies saying that while it doesn’t damage your body, it has very negative effects on your mind if you take it for a long time. You start wanting more and more, to the point where you can’t think about anything else, and… you end up taking it every day, and it takes over your life.”

“So it’s like sex?” Sisi asked. “It feels amazing, and you want more and more, and can’t stop thinking about it? But even better?”

Asher snorted, grinning at the thought that Sisi liked sex with him so much, but then frowned with a hint of worry.

“Don't even think about taking it,” he replied, wondering if that was where she was going with it.

“I’m not,” the dryad claimed immediately. “I’m looking for comparisons. It helps me understand everything better,” she gestured around herself, indicating their whole world, which was still new to her.

“Okay… then maybe, but Nabuk is much more addictive than sex.”

“Really?” Sisi asked. “Because I also can’t stop thinking about it,” she added, rising to her knees and shifting closer to Asher with a playful look.

“Are you in the mood?” Asher asked. “Even after this morning?”

“I must be addicted,” Sisi replied with a smile as she climbed into his lap.

His hands immediately slid beneath his hoodie, cupping her bare ass, so small it fit almost perfectly into his palms.

Sisi leaned down, but before their lips could meet, someone started stomping down the stairs, and a moment later Elara rushed past the living room, her hair completely wet. She didn’t even glance at Asher as she headed out.

“If she were a monster, she’d be an oni,” Sisi murmured.

“What?” Asher snorted.

“An oni. They’re big, blue, with horns. And they’re very impulsive, very easy to anger, and they’ll slam you into the ground for the stupidest thing if you make them mad. Better stay away from them at all times. You never know when they’ll snap and attack you.”

“Forest dryads, on the other hand, are cute and sweet?” Asher asked.

“Exactly,” Sisi replied with a smile.

“Before they pierce you with their arrows?” Asher added.

“Only if we don’t like you.”

“Thank God, I’m on the friend list,” he said.

Sisi smiled, cupping his cheeks before pressing her green lips to his. But Asher cut their making out short, pulling back while shifting his hands to her ass and standing up.

“We don’t have a lot of time,” he said, heading toward his room. He dropped onto the bed on his back, with Sisi immediately on top. She pulled off her hoodie, left completely naked as he watched her green tits bounce.

“Let’s do it doggy?” Sisi asked. “Next time you can choose how we do it.”

“Didn’t you choose last time?” Asher asked.

“Please?” Sisi pouted, and it crossed his mind that the dryad was spending too much time with Lucy, picking up her behavior. But just like when Lucy did it, it worked just as well coming from Sisi.

“How could I refuse?” Asher said, sitting up.

Sisi got off him and turned around, bending forward and resting her head sideways on the bed, pushing her green ass toward him. She parted her thighs, her green pussy peeking at him, already glistening with arousal.

Asher quickly got rid of his boxers, freeing his cock, but before he knelt behind her, he couldn’t stop himself. Spreading her cheeks, he leaned in and ran his tongue along her folds, tasting her sweetness.

Sisi moaned loudly, surprised by the sudden contact, but it was just a single lick before Asher straightened and positioned himself behind her, guiding the head of his cock to her entrance. Her labia parted easily, enveloping him in her heat as he sunk forward slowly, until her ass pressed against his groin and his full length was surrounded by her soft warmth.

He waited only a moment, letting her adjust before he started to move, slowly at first, but quickly gaining pace. The whole night of teasing with Naomi, and then being that close to having sex with her for the first time, left him aroused, and the fire was quickly burning in his body.

Holding Sisi’s hips, he slammed his full length into her monster’s pussy, chasing his own orgasm, watching her green ass bounce up and down. Her whole look and body were exotic, but something about that green, perky ass captivated him.

“Fuck,” he groaned, feeling the pressure suddenly build in his balls. “I’m getting close,” he added quickly, getting there really fast.

“No!” Sisi whimpered. “Longer,” she demanded, looking up at him as he kept pounding into her. “Please,” she pouted again, but it did nothing to help him last.

Not feeling like he would be able to hold out much longer, instead of trying to delay it, he reached down and, while only slowing his thrusts slightly, brushed his fingers along her folds to gather her arousal before pressing them against her clit and rubbing quickly.

His plan worked. Sisi’s body jerked as she moaned deeply, and when he crossed the line soon after, the first spurt of his cum landing deep inside her, her body shivered and she let out a lewd whimper, her eyes closing as her insides fluttered around his length.

He let go of her clit, shifting both hands to her ass and hips, holding her close, fully impaled on his shaft as he filled her with his load, spurt after spurt.

When he finished, he slowly pulled out, watching her green pussy slick with their mixed juices before dropping onto the bed, catching his breath. Sisi rolled over and pressed against him, her eyes closed, her head resting on his shoulder.

Asher checked the statuses of his women. He had thought Sisi might level up from that, but there was no notification. Unlike with the others, he didn’t have a percentage showing how close she was, but he was sure she had to be getting closer. If not today, then probably the next day.

Ava and Elara, on the other hand, should both level up today, they were already very close. The rest were further away…

And Sam returned to his thoughts. He wondered if he would ever have a chance to gain more experience with her again. What about Naomi?

But he couldn't think much about it as his time was limited. He lifted Sisi’s chin and kissed her softly. “Did you come?” he asked, wanting to be sure he hadn’t misread her reactions.

She hummed in confirmation, an adorable smile on her face, her dreamy golden eyes blinking slowly as she looked up at him. “Now I’ll be thinking about it all day,” she murmured.

“You know, you could probably come to lectures with us if you want,” Asher offered.

“Maybe another day,” she replied, pulling covers over her body and snuggling under them as she closed her eyes. “Right now I feel like taking a nap.”

“Sure,” Asher said, kissing her once more before leaving the room.

Before heading to class, he peeked into the bathroom, wondering what to do with Sam. She was still sleeping on the floor, and he really didn’t want to carry her upstairs. She might puke again, so maybe leaving her there was the best option.

But what about the bigger picture? If her addiction started causing problems during dungeon runs, they might have to get rid of her. And then what would happen to Naomi? They had joined as a package, would that still apply if Sam had to leave? Would Naomi want to stay? Would Asher even want her to?

She knew from the beginning that Sam had this problem and hadn’t said a word. She promised it wasn’t anything important and wouldn’t put them in danger, but looking at Sam in the state she was in now it was obvious it was a lie. And he wasn’t so sure Nami would tell them anything if Sam hadn’t woken them all up.

Would they head out into a dungeon with Sam completely hungover? Or would she and Naomi lie and say she wasn’t feeling well…

But if they got rid of Sam, where would he find a new tank? Perhaps Ava was right and Rachel would have someone, but then that meant bringing another woman into all of this, another woman he should get close to…

And all of this because Sam and Naomi had hidden something like that from him. For some reason, Naomi hiding it hurt him more than Sam, even though it was the same secret.

But if they had told them from the beginning, they wouldn’t have accepted them on the team, and he wouldn’t have had a chance to get to know Nami. He didn’t feel the same about Sam, even if they had already had sex, it just felt more… superficial.

Confused, he was actually glad that class was starting soon, hoping it would help distract from the new problem that had come out of nowhere, though postponing it wouldn’t really help, since they would need to deal with it soon.

After he took a quick shower in the upstairs bathroom, Ava was waiting for him outside, and they both headed toward their first lecture. Sam was unable to do anything, Lucy and Naomi were still shut in the room, Sisi was taking a nap, and Elara had texted him that she was going to keep training and skip the lectures, so he ended up with only Ava at the lecture, at least until Madelyn joined them in her oversized clothes, sitting down next to him.

“Hey,” she greeted quietly.

“Hey, Maddy,” Asher replied, trying to smile.

“Are you okay?” she asked, frowning.

“Yeah, just… yeah…” he sighed, not sure how, or if, he wanted to explain the whole situation with Sam.

“Is it about… what I did yesterday and the day before?” Maddy asked.

“What? No. I told you already, you have nothing to worry about. It’s… not about you, really. Just… our team problems.”

“Oh…” Madelyn muttered. “T-That’s why they’re not here?”

“Yeah.”

“I-I probably can’t help, but if you want to talk about it, I can at least listen,” Madelyn offered.

“Thanks. I might take you up on that, but now’s not a good moment,” he replied, with the class about to start.

“O-Okay,” Madelyn said, biting her lower lip for a moment. Asher waited for her to say whatever was on her mind. “Are you going to explore today?” she asked.

“No, and we don’t have anything planned, so you can probably come visit us if you want, but text me first. We have some things to talk through as a team,” he replied.

The lecture started soon after, and while he tried to focus on what they were supposed to learn, his mind kept drifting back to the situation from the morning. And even though the lecture dragged on, he still didn’t come up with any solution to the new problem, because whatever they did, it would cause trouble.

After the lectures finished, he quickly said goodbye to Maddy, who headed toward the library. Ava had a class for mages starting soon, and he was left alone walking back home, but he had barely stepped out of the Academy building when Elara joined him.

“You were training all this time?” he asked, though her shirt, almost completely soaked with sweat, was answer enough.

“Yeah, and then I waited for you a bit,” she replied, then grabbed Asher’s hand to stop him. “I’m sorry,” she muttered.

Asher looked at her, confused, unsure what exactly she was apologizing for.

“I shouldn’t have screamed at you, I just… how could they hide something like that from us?” Elara asked.

“I’m frustrated too, but what would screaming at Naomi, who was hysterical, accomplish? And Sam passed out.”

Elara frowned deeply, remaining silent.

“Let’s head back home. You need a shower, and then we can talk some more,” Asher suggested.

Elara snorted. “Are you telling me I stink?”

“Yeah.”

Elara threw her arms around his neck, pressing her sweaty body against him as she tried to kiss him.

“El!” Asher protested, but when their lips brushed, all his resistance faltered, and he returned the kiss.

“Let’s go, I really need that shower,” Elara said, grabbing his hand and leading him back home. There, she only glanced into the bathroom, grimacing, before heading upstairs again.

When Asher stepped into his room, Lucy was on the bed, on her phone.

“Hey,” he said, joining her, tossing his shirt off. “How is Naomi feeling?”

“It’s complicated…” Lucy murmured.

“Did Sam wake up?”

“Once… but she just… puked all over herself and fell asleep again.”

Asher sighed deeply before asking, “Where is Sisi?”

“She’s with Naomi. She thought maybe watching some cartoons would lighten her mood, so she went to her some time ago.”

“They’re watching cartoons?” Asher asked. “And you didn’t join them?”

“I don’t watch cartoons. Those are for kids,” Lucy protested.

“Don’t you watch anime?”

“Oh my god!” Lucy gasped. “I can’t believe you just said that.”

“That’s the same thing,” Asher shrugged.

“And now you’ve doomed yourself to watching anime with me. A very long one.”

“As long as we do it together,” Asher replied.

Lucy smiled, but it quickly faded as she asked, “Are you upset with Naomi?”

“How could she hide something like that from me?”

“You’re asking her to keep your class a secret, and you’re mad at her because she proved she can keep a secret when a friend asks her to?” Lucy asked.

“It’s… different.”

“So she can go and talk about your class whenever she feels like it?” Lucy pressed. “She wanted to tell you all this time, and was begging Sam to tell you, but Sam made her promise she wouldn’t. You’d trust Naomi more if she proved she can’t keep a promise and just spills people’s secrets?”

“You might not like that she hid it,” Lucy continued, “but she just proved she’s trustworthy.”

Asher sighed, realizing that he wasn't looking at it like that.

“Also there’s one more thing I was wondering how to bring up before, and I’m not sure if it’s the right moment, but... Yeah,” Lucy said. “Yesterday, when we were in the Starting Room, when you asked if you could sleep with Naomi instead of us… I think that if you want something, you shouldn’t ask everyone, you should take it, or state it. With respect and some limits, of course, but seriously, asking for permission to sleep with Naomi is… not very attractive. I kind of understand that Elara might want you to do that, but now you’re not only with her, and some women prefer when a guy knows what he wants and goes after it.”

“We had an agreement, and I wanted to break it, that’s why I was asking,” Asher replied. “I wasn’t asking for permission to sleep with Naomi, but to break something we agreed on.”

“Maybe, Asher… but that was just an example. Sometimes I’d just like you to grab me, bend me over a table, and fuck me. Spray my back with your cum, spank me, and tell me I’m hot.”

“I can do that,” Asher offered.

“I know,” Lucy replied with a smile. “But again, it’s after I told you. And I appreciate that I can just tell you what I want and I’ll get it, but sometimes, when I walk around half-naked and flash my pussy at you or tease you, I don’t want to ask verbally. I’m already asking, just without words.”

Asher pondered it. In some ways it was obvious, but he also didn’t want to cross a line and force someone into something they didn’t want. But then… when Lucy was flashing her pussy at him, her intentions were pretty clear.

“I might be an idiot sometimes,” Asher murmured.

“Maybe,” Lucy replied with a smile. “But I’m not bringing it up now without a reason. Do you still want to have sex with Naomi?” she asked.

“Ugh… yeah,” Asher replied. “I don’t like that she hid something like that, but… you’re right. She was keeping her best friend’s secret. And she knows Sam much longer than us.”

“You know that now you have to make the first move?” Lucy asked. “Naomi told me what happened. Exactly what the two of you were doing when Sam interrupted you,” she added with a smile. “Or rather, what Naomi was doing. Maybe she didn’t ask with words, but she showed you pretty clearly she wanted it. But now she’s worried you’re mad and disappointed in her. She won’t make the first move again. Ever. Now it’s your turn.”

“Does she still want to do it?” Asher asked.

Lucy rolled her eyes, then shook her head. “That you’ll have to figure out on your own, healer.”

Asher nodded before asking, “How do you do that?”

“Do what?” Lucy asked with a giggle.

“One moment you’re acting like you’re insatiable, like you only have jokes or sex on your mind, and the next you… get serious and… mature.”

Lucy snorted. “I’m just saying random stuff and sounding confident, and you’re eating it all up like a kid. I have no clue what I’m talking about. And all of that in the hope that you’d also eat something else than just my words,” she added with a grin.

“That’s what I’m talking about,” Asher chuckled.

“What are you talking about?” Elara asked, stepping into the room, fresh from washing.

“That we should play porn roulette,” Lucy suggested excitedly.

“Porn… what?” Asher asked.

“We go onto some porn website, type ‘wild threesome,’ pick a random video, and do whatever they do there,” she explained, already reaching for her phone.

“Shouldn’t we talk about Sam and Naomi?” Elara asked.

“Later. First you need a good dicking to relax,” Lucy replied.

“I-”

“We both do,” Lucy cut in quickly before Elara could say anything. “Come on, don’t you want to get fucked? I miss his cock in my tight pussy after a whole night away from him. And he didn’t get to have fun with Nami, so he’s probably horny as fuck too.”

“Yeah…” Asher murmured.

Lucy narrowed her eyes at him. “You already had sex with someone today?”

“Maybe,” he replied, smirking.

Lucy looked at Elara, but didn’t need her to say anything before she shook her head. “Ava?” she guessed. “That Latina can pretend all she wants, but she’s even more obsessed with your cock than I am.”

“Not her either,” Asher replied. “Quite the opposite of a fire mage.”

“Huh! That sneaky little dryad,” Lucy said. “When?”

“Before classes, when everyone left,” Asher replied.

“Cool. Sit down, we need to pick a video,” Lucy said, shifting onto the bed and leaning against the headboard, her phone in hand.

“Are we sure we want to do this?” Asher asked with a frown. “What if they do something…”

“Oh, come on, it’s not like we’re obligated to copy everything,” Lucy replied. “You can always back off if you’re a pussy.”

Asher sighed. The fact that he knew she was taunting him didn’t change anything, he couldn’t back out, especially before even knowing what would be in the video. He glanced at Elara, wondering if she’d changed her mind about sex, and whether she was interested in Lucy’s game.

“I’m choosing which woman from the video I’ll be,” Elara said, tossing her shirt aside, her tits already bare, before joining Lucy on the bed.

“Yay!” Lucy gasped, pulling off her own shirt, braless, left only in a skirt, before turning back to Asher. “So what’ll it be, stud? Are you backing down and leaving two topless hot girls to have their fun on their own? There are tons of girl-on-girl videos without any guy.”

Asher rolled his eyes, shifting to sit on Lucy’s other side so she was between him and Elara, as she tapped on her screen, opening a shortcut to a porn site.

“Do you really need to add wild to it?” Asher asked when he saw her type ‘wild threesome’.

“Yup,” Lucy replied, waiting for the results to load. The first video popped up on the screen, titled ‘Old guy deflowered all four of their holes’.

“That looks fun,” Lucy said, giggling. “We don’t have four, but there are still two.”

“Weren’t we going to randomize it?” Asher asked.

“I’m just teasing. Ready?” Lucy asked.

“Wait, two?” Asher asked.

Lucy stuck her tongue at him, before she started scrolling up and down quickly before suddenly tapping the screen, stopping on one video.

“That one,” she declared, clicking it open. During the few seconds waiting for the ad to end, Asher glanced at Elara, a bit surprised by how eager she seemed to actually do this - watch porn together. He hadn’t really thought about it before, but he wouldn’t have expected her to be so okay with it.

Though in the end, they barely watched it at all, as Lucy almost immediately started skipping through it, only checking positions. A bald man with two women with quite large breasts flashed across the screen, and a video that lasted over ten minutes was gone in ten seconds.

“Okay, which one do you want to be?” Lucy asked El.

“The blonde, but without the spanking,” Elara replied.

“No, no, no, you get to choose who you are, but you can’t change what happens,” Lucy replied. “And come on, really? It’s actually pretty lame. I was hoping for something really wild.”

“Okay, then I still want to be the blonde, but before you spank me, remember that we train together,” Elara threatened.

“I also remember how you kicked my ass yesterday,” Lucy shot back. “Time for revenge. Unless you want to change your mind?”

Elara hesitated for a moment, but in the end, she stuck with her choice.

“Any objections?” Lucy asked, glancing at Asher.

“Nope, not at all,” he replied, unable to stop grinning. “I assume you have a toy?” he added.

“Yup! But that’s for later,” Lucy said. “First, a warm-up,” she added, shifting down his body and kneeling at his side, glancing expectantly at Elara on the other side.

Only when Elara joined her did Lucy grab Asher’s hard cock and guide it toward her, while lowering her mouth to his balls. Just as her tongue brushed over his sack, Elara closed her lips around the head, and the two sensations blended together, pulling a moan from him.

While Lucy sucked one of his testicles into her mouth, Elara slid her lips down his length, her tongue working quickly before she began to suck as well, rising slightly. For a moment they stayed like that, but then they switched, Lucy taking his cock while Elara moved lower, licking along his length until she reached his balls.

Instead of focusing on the tip, Lucy pushed down until she swallowed him whole, and Asher groaned as pleasure surged through him when the head slipped into her tight throat.

“Show-off…” Elara muttered, but after Lucy’s muffled groan and a gentle tap against his balls, she went back to licking.

Asher quickly realized he wasn’t going to last as long as that guy in the video. When they swapped again, Elara clearly wanted to match Lucy, but she couldn’t take him as deep, so instead she sucked him eagerly, using every trick she had learned so far to give him as much pleasure as she could.

“I’m getting close, fast,” Asher warned.

Lucy pulled away, then tugged Elara off his cock, her lips leaving it with a soft pop. His length and balls were drenched in their mixed saliva, throbbing between their faces.

“Let’s move on,” Lucy said.

For the next position, Asher shifted to the edge of the bed, dropping his legs to the ground. Elara straddled him, immediately slipping his cock into her eager, ready pussy, her walls enveloping him in heavenly sensation. He already knew this swap wasn’t going to help him last any longer.

Lucy dropped to her knees between his legs, and before Elara could even start riding him, the pink-haired girl’s tongue was already on his balls, lapping at them quickly.

Asher groaned in pleasure, his cock throbbing inside his girlfriend’s pussy as he grabbed her hips. Elara rose up on his shaft, and then came a smack.

“Hey!” Elara gasped when Lucy spanked her. “Do it that hard one more time and I won’t even wait until training. And remember the next position,” she threatened.

Lucy spanked her even harder, drawing a sharp yelp from Elara’s lips.

“Oh, you are going to pay for that,” the blonde said, before focusing on Asher again. She began riding him up and down, closing her eyes in pleasure, letting out soft moans that were occasionally interrupted when Lucy spanked her again, though not as hard anymore.

“Ride him faster, slut,” Lucy murmured from between his legs.

“If I remember correctly, you’re supposed to lick his balls, not speak, bitch,” Elara shot back.

“If I do that, he’ll come before you even get a chance.”

“Fortunately, his cock isn’t the last thing I’m going to ride.”

Lucy giggled before her tongue returned to work on his testicles, while Elara picked up the pace, bouncing on his cock. She shifted to shorter, faster movements, her insides fluttering as she slid up and down his length, sending waves of bliss through his body. Combined with Lucy’s mouth on his sack, it pushed him dangerously close to the edge again.

But then Elara suddenly lurched forward, her pussy slipping off his cock as her tits landed on his face before she caught herself on her hands.

“What the fuck?!” she gasped.

“I’m supposed to blow him now,” Lucy replied, wrapping her hand around his cock and jerking it slowly. “Besides, he’ll come too fast if we don’t slow down,” she added.

“What’s wrong with that?” Asher asked.

Lucy giggled, then wrapped her soft lips around his cock, taking him deep into her mouth, licking off all of Elara’s juices.

“Fuck,” Asher groaned, but his lips were soon occupied when his blonde girlfriend kissed him passionately.

If Lucy moved even a little, he would erupt in her mouth, but she just held him there, deep in her throat, his head lodged inside, before sliding off in an agonizingly slow motion, letting his cock pop free from her lips.

“Your turn, blondie,” she said, guiding his shaft to Elara’s pussy, which enveloped him immediately. Clearly horny after being interrupted, she started riding him fast, her pussy tightening around his cock.

When Lucy took his balls into her mouth, and Elara began to moan over and over to the rhythm of impaling herself on his length, it was too much. He erupted abruptly, his hips thrusting up into Elara as bursts of cum filled her.

“Shit!” Elara screamed, tossing her head back and pushing her hips down, her pussy spasming around his length. His balls, still in Lucy’s mouth, were being drained, and he was in heaven. There was no other way to describe the sensations and satisfaction coursing through his body.

Asher closed it absentmindedly, still overwhelmed by his orgasm.

When he was able to focus again, Elara was panting on top of him, and Lucy was no longer licking him.

“Now my turn!” Lucy gasped excitedly, getting up from her knees and dropping onto the bed on her back, legs spread, her pussy glistening with arousal right next to Asher’s head, waiting. She parted her folds, revealing her pink insides, brushing her fingers over them, gathering her juices before shifting and pressing them against his lips.

“Taste me,” she murmured, though it wasn’t necessary. Asher parted his lips on his own and caught her fingers in his mouth, licking her juices. Only then did he realize what he’d done and flushed slightly at how lewd it was, but Lucy only giggled, pushing those fingers right back into her pussy.

“Fuck, that was good,” Elara murmured, still panting.

“Even the spanking?” Lucy asked.

“My ass is all red,” El said, glancing over her shoulder.

“That means I did a great job,” Lucy claimed

“I’m going to do a great job now too,” Elara replied, sliding off Asher’s cock and immediately pressing her hand to her pussy. In a blink, she was over Lucy, pressing her cum-filled pussy into her mouth.

Lucy only managed to squeal before the sound was muffled.

Asher chuckled, sitting up. “She probably wants to say it’s not fair you used your skills,” he said, looking at Lucy, who actually seemed more focused on pushing her tongue as deep as she could into his blonde girlfriend’s pussy.

Lucy raised her thumb, then wavered her hand and pointed at her own pussy.

Asher didn’t need any more signs, or time to recover. His cock was still hard and ready as he moved to kneel between Lucy’s legs, rubbing his tip against her folds, teasing her when she couldn’t do anything about it, or even more importantly say a word.

“Look at that,” Elara said. “Just within my reach,” she added, slapping Lucy’s tits, though much more gently than Lucy had spanked her.

Lucy groaned from between Elara’s thighs but didn’t stop licking her.

“Fuck her, Asher,” Elara purred.

He groaned, hearing words like that from his blonde girlfriend, and didn’t wait a second before pushing his hips forward, his cock spreading Lucy’s tight pussy in one smooth motion until he bottomed out inside her with another groan.

Elara slapped Lucy’s tits again, but her hands lingered, grabbing her nipples and squeezing them. “Lick my pussy clean, bitch,” El said, gyrating her hips. “That’s what you want, right? Being used like a slut for our own pleasure.”

Asher looked a bit surprised at Elara as she closed her eyes, seeming to get lost in the pleasure of Lucy’s tongue licking his cum from between her folds.

Placing his hands on Lucy’s hips, he started to fuck her slowly at first, letting her adjust as her pussy clenched tightly around him. Just after his release, he wasn’t in a rush for another one, keeping his pace slow but steady, thrusting in long strokes while enjoying the sight of his girlfriend’s amazing body moving as she ground herself against Lucy’s face.

And then there were her big tits, when Elara wasn’t groping them, they bounced in rhythm with his thrusts, her nipples hard and pointing toward him, the floral tattoo decorating her chest.

Keeping the pace slow, he wasn’t getting any closer to release, but he was also deliberately holding Lucy back, teasing her while she couldn’t object. Because of that, Elara was the one to come again, though it seemed like a smaller one, as she ground harder into Lucy’s face, her mouth falling open in a silent “o” before she panted deeply and dropped back, her ass resting on the bed just above Lucy’s head. Her legs splayed open, her swollen, reddened pussy was right in front of Asher’s gaze for him to admire.

“Fuck, you almost choked me,” Lucy said between deep breaths, her face flushed.

“That’s for the spanking,” El replied, lying back.

“I need to turn around, stud,” Lucy said, placing her feet on Asher’s chest and pushing him back until his cock slipped out of her pussy. “And I want real fucking, not some teasing,” she added, squinting at him before flipping over onto her knees, pushing her ass back at him, wiggling it until he pressed his cock back into her tight Asian pussy.

“So fucking good,” Lucy moaned, just before a small ball of light flew out of her bracelet, forming into an item in her hand.

“The best advantage of the explorer bag,” Lucy said. “You can carry your sex toys with you all the time without anyone knowing.”

The ball of light grew, shaping into a cock before turning pink, ending up as a dildo.

“Come on, blondie, gimme that pussy,” Lucy said, patting the bed in front of her with the tip of the fake cock.

“Are you okay with that?” El asked, looking at Asher.

He snorted, gesturing between them. “I’m having sex with Lucy. Yes, I’m okay if you play with a toy.”

“Especially if she does it right in front of your eyes, no?” Lucy asked with a smirk.

“Ugh… that is certainly an added benefit,” Asher murmured, then spanked Lucy for her teasing.

“Okay,” Elara replied, shifting to spread her legs in front of Lucy, bringing her crotch right in front of her face.

Lucy didn’t wait. She pushed the toy between Elara’s folds until it was almost fully inside her, then left it there. “Not as big as Asher, but it still does the job. Though I haven’t used it in a while, when I have this available all the time,” she added, pushing her hips back and taking his shaft fully into her pussy.

“It feels weird,” Elara murmured, wiggling her hips.

“It’s your first time using one?” Lucy asked.

“Yeah, and I prefer the real thing,” El replied.

“Of course. But our boyfriend has only one,” Lucy smirked.

Both Asher and Elara froze at the same time. Elara stared at Lucy, while he looked at his girlfriend, wondering about her reaction. She pretty much knew about it, but from her expression he could tell that Lucy calling him their boyfriend surprised her. The question was how much and in what way.

“What are you waiting for?” Elara asked finally. “You’re supposed to lick me.”

“And our boyfriend is supposed to fuck me,” Lucy replied.

“Don’t overdo it,” El grumbled, grabbing Lucy by her pink hair and pulling her into her pussy.

The Asian girl giggled, but it came out muffled as her mouth was pressed against Elara’s crotch. Soon she started licking at her clit, while keeping the dildo inside.

Asher started to fuck Lucy, and this time, thrusting into her from behind, he picked up the pace. Soon she wasn’t able to lick Elara properly anymore, her face being bumped away from her pussy with each thrust, so instead she grabbed the pink dildo and started thrusting it into Elara’s pussy.

It was clear she was trying to keep up with the pace Asher was setting, and for a longer moment, the only sounds filling the room were their panting, occasionally interrupted by a moan as they fucked.

Asher’s gaze wandered up and down, from Lucy’s ass, to Elara’s pussy being worked by the pink toy, to her small tits bouncing, and finally to her gorgeous face, twisted in pleasure as her blonde hair danced around her head. Then his eyes would travel back down along their bodies, only to make the same trip again.

Lucy shifted, rising onto her elbows while still working her wrist to fuck Elara with the dildo. With her other hand, she reached forward and pressed her fingers against Elara’s clit, rubbing it in quick circles.

The blonde moaned deeply, tilting her head back.

“Who’s a slut now?” Lucy asked. “Moaning on a fake cock while our boyfriend fucks me with the real one.”

“You… really… must… like… when… I kick… your ass…” Elara moaned word by word, struggling to speak while Lucy worked the pink dildo in rapid strokes inside her, her other hand still circling her clit.

Before Lucy could respond, Elara squealed, her body jerking upward, her thighs closing as they pushed Lucy’s hand away, though the dildo remained inside her. With a moan, she rolled onto her side, pulling her legs up as her whole body trembled, lost in the ecstasy of her release.

“I’m close to a good one too, stud,” Lucy murmured, pressing her face into the bed. Both her hands darted down her body, her fingers brushing over his length as he fucked her, but their main focus now was her own clit.

“Just like that, fuck… Asher…” Lucy moaned, but soon her words dissolved into incoherent sounds as she neared her release. When her body finally tensed and her pussy clenched around his cock, it pushed him over the edge as well, filling her this time with his load.

When it was over, he dropped onto the bed, and the three of them lay there for a moment, sprawled randomly across the sheets, staying where they had fallen after their orgasms.

As he calmed down, he opened Elara’s status to check her level-up and found that reaching level ten had granted her a new skill she could unlock.

---

A Tribute to the Master - For every orgasm the skill owner gives the Harem Master, the skill grants one stack. Each stack can be consumed to grant the Harem Master +5 Agility and +5 Strength for thirty minutes after the skill owner kills an enemy. Only one stack can be active at a time. Maximum stored stacks: 3. (2 skill points)

---

“You got a new skill at level ten,” Asher said, raising his head to look at Elara. “For every orgasm I get from you, you gain a stack, which you can activate when killing an enemy, granting me 5 Agility and 5 Strength for thirty minutes. Only one stack can be active at a time, and you can hold up to three.”

“How much does it cost?” Elara asked.

“Two points, so you’d need one more level up.”

“I’ll probably want to add it. I can often get a quick first kill, and it would boost you for the rest of the fight,” the blonde replied.

“For two points, you could also take Shared Satisfaction, and the bonus from Lucy is powerful,” Asher added.

“I like that idea,” the pink-haired girl chimed in.

“I can make you come without a skill demanding it,” Elara replied, rolling her eyes. “You just need to be good and stop frustrating me.”

“Or I can frustrate you enough that you’ll want to fuck me with this,” Lucy shot back, gesturing at the dildo Elara had pulled from her pussy and left lying on the bed.

“If we ignore the sexual part of that skill, twenty percent more damage almost all the time is way more valuable than giving me a few stat points,” Asher said. After making Lucy come, Elara would deal an additional twenty percent more damage while above fifty percent health, so basically all the time. And that was only one of the available bonuses, though it was easily the strongest.

“That makes sense,” Elara replied, though a frown still lingered on her face.

They fell silent for a moment before Lucy asked, “What do you want to do about Sam?”

Asher groaned. All those hours thinking it over still hadn’t given him any real certainty.

“I feel like we should replace her with someone else,” he murmured. “We still haven’t had a chance to talk to her, but… Sam probably has a serious problem with Nabuk.”

“She does,” Lucy confirmed. “Naomi didn’t want to tell me much, but even from scraps… Sam is really, really addicted. And… there might be a lot of other issues there. It doesn’t look good.”

“Did Naomi mention if she would leave with Sam if we kicked her out?” Asher asked.

“She actually thinks you’re going to get rid of both of them,” Lucy replied.

Asher sighed before continuing, “I wouldn’t want to lose Naomi, but when it comes to Sam… I don’t care as much…” he murmured.

“Oh my god,” Elara groaned. “And you feel bad about it?” she asked, when both he and Lucy looked at her.

“I do,” Asher replied. “She joined my harem, she was kind of obligated to have sex with me, and now I would just kick her out? It… feels wrong.”

“She wasn’t obligated to anything,” Elara protested. “You and Naomi are still just kissing and nothing more. And as much as you had sex with her, she had sex with you. It’s not like she was doing you some amazing favor, for fuck’s sake.”

“I know, El…” Asher sighed.

“And what do you want to do? Test her every time to see if she’s not high before we go exploring?” Elara asked. “Or lock her in her room so we’re sure she doesn’t spend the whole night out somewhere, getting high?”

“El, are you listening to me?” Asher asked. “I think we should find someone else to replace her, but I first want to talk with her before making a decision like that.”

“You can talk with her as much as you want. There’s no way we’re ever going into a dungeon with her again,” Elara stated firmly.

“What if she stopped taking Nabuk completely?” Asher asked.

“And you’re going to trust her?” Elara gasped.

“From what I understood from Nami, Sam promised many times she wouldn’t take it again, but it always ended up the same… It seems she just can’t stop…” Lucy added.

“It’s better to find someone else now than later, when she fucks up again,” Elara replied. “And what if she does it in a dungeon? Who the fuck knows what those drugs do to her?”

“El, you’re getting angry again,” Asher said. “I know, okay? I know. I just feel bad, kicking her out because she has problems… but I understand that we might not have a choice.”

“I just know that Naomi is going to cry, and your heart will melt, and she’ll convince you to give Sam another chance,” Elara replied. “And then another, and another, and another.”

Asher frowned, realizing she might be right about that. Just thinking about the state Naomi was in before… if she started crying like that again, asking him to help Sam instead of kicking her out…

“Asher,” Elara said, moving to kneel in front of him and grabbing both his hands. “Promise me you’re not going to give in just because Naomi cries.”

“We weren’t supposed to decide now whether we’re kicking Sam out of the team or not,” Asher protested.

Elara grimaced, pressing her lips into a thin line. “I’m not going into a dungeon with her. And I won’t let you go with her. Ava won’t go either. So how do you think this will work?”

Asher sighed before speaking. “I should probably go talk with Nami.”

“Promise me you won’t tell her that Sam can stay on the team,” Elara demanded, still holding his hands.

“Okay, I won’t. At least not during this talk.”

Elara groaned, but she let go of his hands. “Remember that they lied to us and hid something that important. And they brought this on themselves, it didn’t happen by accident,” El said, as he got off the bed and started putting on his clothes.

“Sam did,” Lucy cut in. “Naomi was just… unfortunately involved,” she added, with an uncertain frown.

“I’m going,” Asher said, not wanting to get into another discussion about whose fault it was.

Despite that he had just fucked both of them, his gaze still lingered on their naked bodies before he stepped out of the room and sighed deeply, looking at the door on the opposite side of the corridor, already knowing there was no chance this conversation would happen without tears.
