Chapter 877 877 - We need to talk
Though Erik and his wives had already reached a level where they needed barely half the amount of sleep a normal person needed, this time they slept for a full eight hours. Erik had thoroughly exhausted both himself and everyone else.
When he'd finally gotten the rest he needed, he slowly and groggily opened his eyes. A low, satisfied groan passed his lips as his mind booted up. He blinked, opening his eyes to a scene that was slightly different from when he fell asleep.
Emma was no longer on his chest, but on his side, and clutching his chest. Astrid was no longer near the lower end of the bed, but had instead claimed his other side, mirroring Emma. Finally, Elora was now lying on his chest. Unsure when they shifted positions, Erik also didn't care and simply grinned.
Glancing to his right, he could see Emma's bright eyes were already open and staring at him. When she noticed him looking at her, she smiled brightly. Erik smiled back at her. They didn't speak, as soft snoring still came from his chest and left side. He did lean over carefully to gently peck her lips in greeting.
Letting his eyes roam a little, he then noticed Nora and Anne were kneeling near his legs, on the bed. They squirmed ever so lightly. Impatience and need burned just behind the devotion with which they looked at him, causing Erik to smirk. He remembered never allowing them to cum last night, and they probably still hadn't.
He could see the different emotions battling inside their gazes, only increasing his amusement. The only thing stopping them from either jumping on him or working towards their own gratification was their devotion, and the sadistic part of him couldn't help but wonder what it would take for their need to overwhelm their restraint.
Before he could think any more on that, Astrid and Elora started waking up. The former started groaning and stretching her body like a comfortable cat, while the latter simply hummed, sighed, and cracked her neck. Both of them wore comfortable smiles.
"Good morning, girls," Erik greeted warmly, a far cry from the hungry animal he'd been last night.
The other three greeted him back, each giving him a warm kiss. Emma took the opportunity to steal a second kiss for herself.
He then noticed Astrid shooting a grumpy glare at Elora, who looked back at her with her head held high and a smug look in her eyes. Though Erik wasn't sure what happened between them, he could guess it had something to do with the position on his chest. Emma looked entirely unconcerned, however, despite it having been her spot originally.
Erik decided not to get involved and instead smirked a little apologetically as he looked at his three wives. "I hope I wasn't too rough on you girls last night? Admittedly, I may have gotten a little carried away…"
"A little?!" Elora immediately grumbled, shifting her gaze in his direction and narrowing her eyes a little. "You treated me like a toy! My ass burns!"
Erik grinned at her, challenge glimmering in his eyes. Though she sounded annoyed, their bond revealed her true feelings. "Don't pretend you didn't love it," he chuckled playfully, his left and right arms shifting a little to wrap Astrid and Emma up in them.
"First of all," he continued smugly, meeting Elora's glare unflinchingly, "you gleefully called yourself my 'fairy fuckdoll', and second of all, I refuse to believe your ass still hurts. Your body is strong enough to fully recover after a few hours rest."
He could also mention she could have told him the safe word at any point, but that already felt like overkill.
"Now kiss me and thank me for fucking you properly," he finally demanded playfully.
They stared at each other for a few moments, but it wasn't long before Elora's expression broke into a smirk. "I guess this is my fault for creating such a monster…" she whispered wryly, just loud enough for everyone to hear.
Under the soft giggles of Emma and Astrid, she leaned forward to kiss Erik passionately. When they separated, she looked deeply into his eyes. "Thank you for fucking me in just the way I love and deserve," she said, still smirking, before letting herself fall back into his chest with the smallest of blushes. If anyone outside their family had seen her like this, they would have sworn they were hallucinating.
Chuckling, Erik then looked at Astrid. His vampire wife didn't hesitate. With a wide, playful grin she leaned forward to kiss him passionately as well. "Thank you for fucking your beta-bitch," she then said, unabashedly as they separated.
Finally, Emma simply smiled and kissed him. "Thank you," she giggled, entirely unbothered by the absurdity of this situation.
"Good girls," Erik grinned, feeling a deep satisfaction at his family life fill him. The desire to take morally corrupt steps to protect them took firmer root inside him. Yet, the determination to protect them against himself by ensuring he wouldn't be tempted to take such steps on a regular basis grew as well.
After a moment of enjoying each other's company, Erik looked sombrely at Astrid. "I'm sure you're busy and need to get back to it after I delayed you for almost a day, but we need to talk… About two things."
"Oh?" Elora answered, raising a curious eyebrow. "I guess you made your choice then." She wasn't sure what other thing he wanted to talk about, but instead of asking, she looked over her shoulder.
"I'll happily talk about anything, but perhaps you should deal with them first?" she asked with a playful giggle. "There's some real struggle behind those eyes!"
A light blush began to play on Nora and Anne's cheeks. Nora embraced it, but Anne tried to play it off with a playful smirk.
Laughing, Elora suddenly shrank her body to fairy size and turned around. By doing this, she'd cleared Erik's field of view and secured a front-row seat of the action.
Erik happily took her suggestion. Grinning, he looked over at his two servants and scooted back against the bed's backrest a little to straighten himself. Seeing his cute servants like that stiffened his morning wood even further. Of course, even a night like that couldn't keep him down for long…
