Chapter 782: Fitting in (Part 1).

Almost everyone decided to jump in the pool. Almost. I had to stay out to watch the grill, of course, and neither Fern nor Diana had swimsuits, and being the two tallest girls here, it wasn’t like they could borrow from anyone. Also…

“Hey, your guy friends are in there, likely ogling your sexy girlfriends in their swimsuits,” Grace teased me, smirking. “Jealous?”

“Nah,” I said. “I’ve said it before, I don’t mind if people look at you so long as you’re not uncomfortable. I know Mila and Sarah thrive in it, even. I’m a bit worried about Noelle, but if she felt comfortable enough to go, then that’s that. Besides, Lena, Maria and Lina are there to keep an eye on the guys.”

“True,” Alice said, chuckling. “Lina’s gonna make sure the guys behave, especially her husband.”

“What about you two?” Fern asked Grace and Alice. “Not going?”

“Not really feeling it right now,” Grace said. “Not the best time of the month for the pool, either.”

“Ah.” Fern nodded in understanding.

“But… I read that swimming is perfectly fine during your period,” I said, forcing myself a bit to just outright say it. Didn’t want the girls to feel like they had to skirt around the issue with me.

“It is, at least if you wear a tampon or a cup,” Alice said, “but… like Grace, I’m not really feeling it, either.” She rubbed her lower abdomen, for emphasis more than anything else. She smiled at me. “Thank you for the pads, by the way.”

I nodded. “Anytime.”

Fern giggled. “You buy them for them?”

“Sometimes,” Grace said, grinning and moving closer to kiss my cheek. “He’s very committed to his homework. He reads, asks questions and is very attentive.”

“If we couldn’t sense his feelings, my guess would be that he’s scared of us,” Diana said teasingly.

“That’s at least 15% of it, really,” I admitted, which made the girls laugh.

“And as if his powers weren’t already enough,” Alice said, stretching with a relaxing moan. “You haven’t had it yet, right Fernanda? Your period after… sex, I mean.”

Ferns cheeks began to heat up. “Ah. Um… n-no, not yet.”

“It’s a game changer,” Grace said. “No headaches, barely any cramps, no random depression out of nowhere… I swear, it makes you hate the menstrual cycle even more.”

Diana snickered. “Yes, it’s like it lampshades how needlessly annoying it is.”

“Plus… the medicine is better than any painkiller,” Grace said, poking me on the side with a naughty grin.

“I’m aware I’m just a walking bundle of conveniences to you all,” I said with a shrug.

“Yes, you’re suffering so much, aren’t you?” Diana said, rolling her eyes.

“Poor little Oliver, surrounded by women willing to do as he asks with a single word…” Alice teased, smirking.

I nodded solemnly. “Nobody understands my pain.”

Fern suddenly snickered before she started laughing. She tried to hold it back, covering her mouth and looking down, all while apologizing.

“S-Sorry, sorry…! Ahaha…!”

Alice started giggling along with her. “You okay?” 

“Really, I’m sorry… I don’t know why that made me laugh.” Fern wiped a tear off her eye, smiling from ear to ear. “Just… I suppose it’s obvious, but you all really get along, don’t you?”

“Yeah, but it’s taken time,” Grace said. “When Oliver started seeing Diana, we had to be careful to not say or do the wrong thing, like we were afraid she’d run away if she thought we were too weird.”

“Hey, that’s not fair,” Diana said. “I knew you were all weird from WAY before you even met me. Remember? I was behind the hotel desk giving you the keys for your orgies.”

Grace laughed. “Oh yeah! I always forget that!”

I sighed. “I don’t…”

“Wait, so you were there when Oliver, Noelle and I went for the first time?” Alice asked. “That was when we lost our virginity.”

“Mmm, yeah, I might have,” Diana said, nodding. “I don’t know if it was your first time, but I remember you three going in.”

“Oh my God!” Alice’s face went red, but she laughed hard and heartily.

I glanced at Fern with a wry smile. “I’m sorry… We’re making things weird, aren’t we?” I did sense a bit of awkwardness coming from her, but no discomfort. Still, I wouldn’t just trust those senses blindly. If we can talk things out, I think we should.

Surprisingly, Fern smiled and shook her head. “N-No. I… actually really like how you can just talk about stuff like this like it’s no problem. It’s… actually really cute. In a weird way,” she added, giggling.

“We’ve thrown aside most of the shame by now, but we still don’t talk like this in front of just anyone,” Alice said. “We… want you to feel included, but if we’re going too far…”

Fern smiled shyly. “I mean… I’m the one who asked for videos of you… having orgies,” she said. “I’m sorry for that outrageous request, by the way.”

“Only apologize if you mean it,” Diana told her. She then smirked at the younger woman. “You liked it, didn’t you?”

“...” Fern swallowed hard. “Y-Yes.”

It was even more evidence for Alice’s theory that Frey’s powers were bringing… compatible people closer to us.

“Man, recording those was fun,” Grace said. “I’m glad they helped you make up your mind. I guess Mila, Sarah and I are the weirdest ones because we hardly even struggled with the idea. Though I did almost pull away at the beginning when I realized Mila had genuine feelings for Oliver. Back then, Sarah and I were mostly fooling around.”

I KNEW IT.

“Why didn’t you, though? What changed your mind?” Diana asked.

“Mila herself,” Grace said. “I pulled her aside, apologized because I didn’t know she was serious about him and told her I’d leave them alone. Mila said not to, that she liked what we were building. So basically, love, you have Mila to thank for your harem.”

I’ll be sure to thank her properly in the near future.

Chapter 783: Fitting in (Part 2).

“But really, Alice has a point, Fern,” Grace told her. “We want you to feel welcome. It’s not like you’re applying for a job and need to prove yourself or anything. If the way we act is too weird, we can tone it down.”

Again, Fern shook her head. “It’s fine, don’t worry about me. I’m… actually really happy that you can act like normal around me. I’m the one… feeling really stiff still.”

“Of course you are,” Diana said. “Oliver’s been your boyfriend for less than a week, you’re in his house surrounded by his friends and his other girlfriends. Honestly, if you and Oliver switched positions, I fear our man would’ve passed out already.”

“Absolutely,” I admitted.

Fern giggled. “I guess.”

“Just know that we’re not judging. Oliver is as much your boyfriend as he’s ours, so don’t think you need to hold back. In fact…” Alice looked back at the pool. It was an indoor pool with glass walls. Steam from the heat inside had made the glass foggy. Everyone inside seemed to be inside the pool, too, meaning… no one was watching. Alice smirked, stood behind Fern and gently pushed her towards me.

“Ah!” Fern took two stumbling steps towards me.

It didn’t take a genius to understand what Alice’s intent was, and with the way I was feeling, I was maybe a little too happy to play along. I wrapped an arm around Fern’s waist, pulled her closer and kissed her hard on the lips with a hand on her cheek.

Fern tensed up from the shock, but she quickly melted against me, putting her arms on my shoulder and kissing me back. In fact, she was the one to add her tongue to the kiss first, and tasting her again made me tighten my hold around her. It was short but intense, and we both broke the kiss with a faint gasp.

Fern glanced at Grace, Alice and Diana with a nervous smile. “Is this really okay?”

“Of course!” Alice said.

“It’s not just okay, but encouraged. You like it, he likes it, we like it,” Grace said. “Wins all around.”

“Of course…” Diana began, stepping up, “that’s all depending on one thing.”

Fern swallowed again, this time nervously. “W-Which is…?”

“If you’re okay with us doing the same.”

Diana pulled me towards her and initiated the kiss herself. Not only that, she went even further, grabbing my hand and pushing it against her boob, encouraging me to squeeze it like the horny monster I’ve become. The kiss was also even more intense than the one I’d just shared with Fern. Diana opened her mouth wide, devouring me and rolling her tongue around mine, all while I groped her boob, feeling her nipple harden against my palm. Fuck, it was so good that the thing that stopped us wasn’t our self-restrain, but… 

“Ahn!” a surprising, highly erotic moan right next to us.

Diana and I pulled away and turned to look at Grace. Her cheeks were red, her thighs pressed together and she was hugging herself with her arms below her chest.

“Oh wow… Did you just…?” Alice smirked mercilessly.

“...Yeah,” Grace admitted, grinning licking her lips. “God, why am I like this? Ahaha!”

Fern looked at her with eyes wide open and a slowly forming grin. “Seriously?”

“I told you I like to watch,” Grace said without a speck of shame, slowly collecting herself with deep breaths. “That, and the fact that our friends are close by…” She shuddered. “Ugh, I love it.”

“Freak,” Alice teased, hugging Grace from behind.

“And this is the only place in the world where I can openly be one.”

Fern giggled. “And here I was worried I was the weird one.”

“Oh, you are,” Diana told her. “But so are we.”

“How did watching them feel?” Alice asked Fern.

“...” Fern swallowed hard, glanced behind her to make sure no one else was listening, and smirked at us. “It made me hornier…”

“Yeah, she’s one of us. Welcome to the club,” Diana said.

“I just know my theory is right,” Alice said.

“I hope it is,” Grace said.

I swallowed a groan of pent up lust and turned to the grill. Honestly, I didn’t mind this kind of edging and fooling around. Actually, scratch that. Not only do I not mind, I like it, just… not when there’s other people around and I have to worry about not making them uncomfortable.

Yes, we could use the Normality runes, I suppose, but that still feels disrespectful to our guests. Yes, this kind of stuff matters to me, leave me alone.

The meat would be ready soon, so I asked Diana to tell the others to start getting out of the pool.

“We better move inside the house, too,” Alice said. “Or they all may catch a cold from the temperature change.”

I nodded.

Diana came back looking, puzzled.

“What is it?” Fern asked her.

“So… It’s not a big deal or anything,” Diana began. “But… the couples in there are acting a little frisky. I didn’t expect that.”

“Huh?” Fern, Grace, Alice and I exclaimed at the same time.

“Yeah. Kevin and Lena were being very playful and touchy in the pool, Alex and Lina were sharing kisses and Thomas and Maria were just talking, only very, very close to each other. Also, Noelle forgot to get a towel.”

“I’ll go get it,” Alice said. “But… Yeah, that is kind of surprising. I didn’t expect it from them.”

“It’s fine, isn’t it?” I said. “Maybe it’s that Frey’s ideologies are getting to me, but I don’t mind when couples get intimate. Makes me kind of happy, actually.”

“Yes, I’ve seen you smiling when looking at couples at the bar,” Diana said, smiling at me.

“If you don’t mind, neither do I,” Grace said. “I just hope Mark didn’t feel awkward being the only one without his girl.”

Yeah, that too.

After a while, as people were drying themselves by the pool, Thomas came out and approached me while I was alone, his towel over his shoulders.

“Hey, Oliver? I thought I should tell you something.”

“Hm?”

“Um… I don’t know how to put it because I really don’t understand how this… supernatural stuff works. Honestly, I forget it exists most of the time.” I frowned, but didn’t interrupt. “What I’m trying to say is… Things felt a little strange there in the pool.”

“Strange? How so?”

“Um… it was like… Well, basically I was getting aroused.”

“Couldn’t it just be because of Maria and all the other girls in bikinis?”

“I thought so too, but it happened to Maria, too, though I don’t think she noticed it happening. I think the same happened to Lena, Kevin, Alex and his wife. I don’t think they noticed, but they were being really touchy with each other. Um… So were Maria and I. Sorry,” he said with a small grimace.

I shook my head. “Relax, I don’t mind. Though… I am a little worried. You feeling alright? What about Maria?”

Thomas sighed. “I feel great, honestly. So does Maria. I admit, we had to restrain ourselves. It was tempting to… escalate things.”

“Did you notice if Mila, Sarah and Noelle were acting different?” I asked him.

“Actually, it was noticeable that they didn’t. Mark seemed fine, too,” he said. “When they saw us couples… getting intimate, they just let us be and started talking among themselves. They seemed fine.”

Odd. Very odd. Odd that it happened, odd that Thomas was the only one to notice, odd that it only happened to some. Could my powers be getting out of control or something?

Frey and I would need to have another chat. I also needed to make sure everyone was feeling okay.
