A Big Announcement

Mark woke up in the middle of the night. He was slightly confused at first, about why he felt so good. Then he realized what that sensation was, he saw the covers bobbing up and down as Chloe had crawled under them to give him a blowjob. Her newly plump lips felt amazing on his cock and after a bit more than a minute she had him climax in her mouth.

Chloe crawled up to peek her head out of the covers. “Sorry about waking you Mark. Also if you weren’t okay with that. It’s just—”

“Great. It was great. Chloe, you are welcome to suck my cock almost whenever. Wake up blowjobs are definitely approved.”

“Only almost whenever?”

“Yeah, mostly when I’m doing or planning on doing something with the others. I’d rather not have a repeat of what happened on Talia’s date.”

Chloe looked at him curiously, “What happened?”

“Well I mentioned how I fell asleep earlier this round on some of the others. Well… I fell asleep midway through Talia’s date because I had climaxed so much that day. I don’t have unlimited stamina, honestly I’d probably be nearly immobile right now if not for the vigor potion with all we did.”

“You probably wouldn’t be happy if I woke you up in another hour than for another blowjob would you?” Chloe said a bit downcast.

“I would be conflicted Chloe. I do need sleep plus if I’m going to be in a state to even consider your request about Aubrey I need not to be completely exhausted.”

Chloe glanced down and noticed the tent currently being made by Mark’s penis.

“If you need to satisfy your craving though, it is what it is. Go ahead, have at me.”

“No, I was just thinking… could… would it be weird if I just slept on top of you? Like if I got on your dick and we just slept like that?”

“I wouldn’t mind. Assuming we are able, that is.”

“Well, you do have a magic cock.” Chloe went ahead and repositioned herself on top of Mark. Then she slowly lowered herself on to Mark’s massive dick, moaning with delight. “Do you need me to get you to cum again or are you good?”

“I’m good with either. Does this help?”

“Massively.” Chloe put her arms around Mark and lay down on top of him. “I just want to say whoever wakes up first should definitely fuck the other person awake.”

“Not sure how easily I can do that from my position but you are more than welcome to.”

Chloe just nodded sleepily, not lifting her head, quickly falling back asleep.

Mark took quite a bit longer to fall asleep like this but eventually he did manage to drift off to sleep with one arm around Chloe.

Ellen had not gotten a good night's sleep. She had tried to complete the task Laura had set for her the previous day but between everything with the issues involving Lucia, and Sam breaking things off with her, she had been distracted. She had asked Laura for mercy. She had granted it slightly. Laura simply left the vibrator on the lowest possible setting all night instead of the much higher setting she had planned to. The night had been utter **** and Ellen loved every moment of it. She hadn't been able to change out of her school girl outfit thanks to her hands being cuffed together.

Laura sat up, and said with a yawn “Soooo, how’d you sleep?”

Ellen glared at Laura.

Laura smirked, “What? Was it something I said?”

“No.” Ellen pouted. “I also totally didn’t sleep much at all. Miss Elliot, I'd like you to take the belt off me.”

Laura looked Ellen over. She nodded. “Okay.” Laura removed the belt.

“Thank you. This has been like a lot of fun, Miss Elliot. I want you to know that. I’m going to come to breakfast with you and then come back here and totally crash. Like don’t wake me until dinner time.”

“Sure. Was it too much?”

“No… yes… maybe… I don’t know. I’m just SOOO tired.” Ellen said, sliding out of bed. “Can you, like, remove this chain too? I know the cuffs and collar have timers on them, but like I think I want them off too. I’m going to ask Mr. Garret to remove them.”

Laura removed the chain as requested. “I’ll stay with you to make sure your sleep isn’t disturbed Ellen.”

“That’s like totally not needed Miss Elliot” Ellen yawned.

“It actually is Ellen. I take my responsibilities when domming someone seriously. Making sure you are taken care of after we are done is one of them. It’s one of the reasons why I simply removed your belt, and didn’t push. I could tell you were done, and need some rest. If you are worried about me being bored though don’t be. I have this Eromancy book to read. Apparently I can just learn new spells, I don’t have to buy them from the store. It seems complicated as hell but I think I can do it. If not for what Talia and I found yesterday I would tell you just skip breakfast and I’d bring you something but I feel like you should be there.”

“You, like, still won’t tell me why, Miss Elliot?”

“You’ll find out soon enough. Let’s head over.” Laura decided she would wear blue today, and then they made their way to the cottage.

Aubrey had gotten up not ready for today in the slightest. She noticed that Sam was already up, showered, changed and ready to go. Aubrey just looked at her roommate, “How do you do that?”

“Do what?” Sam asked the sleepy Aubrey.

“Every day we’ve roomed together you’ve gotten up before the crack of dawn and you look like a person.”

“Military life.”

“Right.” Aubrey got up and brushed her teeth. Afterwards she came out and asked Sam. “Do you have any advice?”

Sam looked up from the piece of paper she had been writing on and asked. “About what? To be honest there are a lot of things you could be asking for advice for here.”

“Dealing with my TF? Bonding with Mark? Making all this a bit less miserable?”

“Yes. Do you actually want to hear it?”

Aubrey perked up slightly hopeful.

“Of course why wouldn’t I?”

“Because you won’t like it.” Sam looked at Aubrey’s breasts.

“Wait, you want Mark to Baaa… suck on my baaaaaa… breasts?”

“I don’t care about that.” Sam shook her head. “Plus I don’t think he’ll do that just yet. I think you should avoid being milked today. I don’t think you’ve really had full breasts while around Mark except at the challenge. Have you?”

Aubrey thought about that, “No I don’t think so why does that matter?”

“Because of the ‘craving for his direction’ portion of the TF. Aubrey tell me, how would you feel about me milking or breastfeeding from you right now?”

“I’d rather it be the second option but would accept the first.”

“Would you enjoy it? Or are you begrudgingly allowing it to happen because you need to?”

“A bit of both. With Chloe, I would say I am almost completely enjoying it, though.”

“Right. I bet you also don’t have complaints about your change in appearance and while I can tell you are still annoyed by baaing it seems to frustrate you a lot less.”

That is suspiciously accurate. “Okay… what’s your point?”

“My point is: Mark told you things related to all those things right after your TF was applied and you had rather full breasts. He said you were cute like this and he liked your baaing. He told you that you needed to accept being milked regularly. You were not happy immediately after the TF but calmed down after Mark talked to you.”

Aubrey said, “Oh. So you think I should Baaa… what just let Mark tell me stuff to ‘fix’ me?”

“I don’t think you’re broken Aubrey. I think your TF is standing in your way. I’ve looked through Mark’s store, there are solutions to your problem including an option to simply cap your desire where it is right now.”

“Let’s just baa that one then!” Aubrey said excitedly.

“You could… but you would likely take on two or three TFs like Merida did to regain control of her posing TF.” Aubrey deflated. “I figured that would be your response. It is why I didn’t mention it when I found it the other day. There’s another option that would cap it as well but it would likely make being with Chloe nonviable.”

“Absolutely BAA!” Aubrey said, shaking her head.

“Again, I figured. The only viable option I’ve found is to have Mark get the upgrade that makes you more fertile, as a trade off.”

“Baaa about the other one Mark found?”

Sam shook her head. “Assuming Mark was serious, and I believe he was, you aren’t going to get everyone on board with that. Definitely not now, and probably not ever. So he won’t buy it for you. So my thought was simply let him guide you. If he makes it clear while you are in that state that your relationship has to revolve around the two of you instead of your future children, I think it will stick and be easier for you to manage. I can talk to him about it this morning if you want.”

“Thanks, I would baaaaaaaaa… appreciate that.” Aubrey went over and gave Sam a hug, which she returned a little surprised by the sudden affection.

Mark jolted upright but was pushed down by Chloe halfway up. Chloe was riding him vigorously like she had promised. “Morning stud.”

Mark tried to sit up again but Chloe kept pushing him down, so he grabbed her arms and yanked her down so he could kiss her. When broke apart from the kiss he gave her a teasing smirk. “I swear, it’s like you’re begging me to breed you.”

Chloe bit her lip. “If you want…”

Oh shit, right the candies… but it isn’t all the candies, she was into it at the shop. “Not now, Bunny. But if you’re still interested later it might not be far off.” Mark felt Chloe clench down on his penis at his words and spasmed and collapsed on top of him. Mark kept thrusting until he came inside her once again. He then whispered in her ear, “I might not have had your contraceptive set to zero…” Which to his surprise just received a contented sigh in response as Chloe absently glided her fingers over Mark’s chest.

“I’m not going to fall for such obvious bait Mark. Still, I don't hate the idea, but you have two others to knock up first.”

“Wow… you’ve really just gone all in, and accepted things.”

She partially sat up, but made sure not to take out his penis from inside her, and glared down at him. “Fuck no I haven’t! Look, the only one I’ve ‘accepted’ sharing you with is Aubrey. The rest I tolerate right now. I find the idea that I have to share you utterly infuriating except with her. I told you last night I might get jealous and lash out and I meant it. I’m not going to cock block you but I might, clam jam the others.”

“Clam jam?”

“Would you prefer, beaver dam?” Mark just snorted at Chloe’s words. “Shit, Laura is right… this is infectious.”

~Ping~

Mark reached over to check the message. “Huh, we need to head down to breakfast apparently.”

“Just great, I really wanted more time with your cock.”

“Are you going to be alright?”

“I think so, if we could screw at least once more at lunch time, I’m hoping I should be okay. Sleeping with your dick in me really helped. What’s the emergency?”

“I don’t know, Freya said that Laura and Talia want to share something with us. Also that Cassandra has an announcement. So I guess let’s get dressed and head down.”

The two got up and got dressed. Chloe put on a leather skirt, top and jacket. Along with studded cuffs and collar.

While Mark was in the shower Chloe decided to look in the mirror.

She found herself in professional business attire. Her breasts and butt were larger than normal but smaller than they were with Ellen’s enhancements. While professional there was an unmistakable ‘I don’t give two shits about your opinion’ look about Chloe’s outfit. She walked through a complex and realized it was a state of the art lab. As she reached the end of a hall she reached a door with a placard reading, ‘Dr. Talia Winchester: Head of R&D’. She entered and got Talia’s latest report. The scene shifted. She was driving up a long driveway of a palatial estate, in her electric green Lamborghini. As she reached the door Freya opened it greeted her and took her coat. Then she was tackled by kids. There were so many. It took a while but she greeted them, gave them hugs and ruffled their hair. Then Aubrey came over to give her a kiss, carrying a newborn. Then she was wrapped in a tight embrace from behind and a deep voice whispered in her ear. Welcome home.

Chloe found herself back in Mark’s suite, with Mark steadying her as the disorientation passed from the sudden shift in perspective. He asked, “Did you like what you saw?”

“Yeah. Yeah I did.” Chloe said with a huge grin. “The two feelings I felt the most were success and… well a feeling of home, if that makes sense.”

Mark nodded. “I think that is one of the best descriptions someone has told me they felt from the mirror.”

“I can’t believe it was as easy as just screwing you to get past things.” Mark gave her a look that implied he didn’t agree. “Well what do you think it was then?”

“Chloe, this wasn’t simply about us having sex. I’ve had sex with Laura and while things have been positive in her visions and she was happy with them she didn’t have the same sort of dopey grin you do right now. I think you worked through a few of your major issues, and accepted being with me as a partner. Which isn’t something easy.”

“You can say that again you’re a right pain in the ass.”

Mark smacked her ass for that. “I can be. You do have another hole I haven’t used.”

“Mister, you try that without my explicit verbal consent and I’ll twist your dick off. This isn’t me acting, understand? I want to make this absolutely clear, that is a ‘red’ got that?”

“Understood.” Mark nodded. “I can be a pain in your ass but not a pain inside your ass.”

Chloe just rolled her eyes at that, “Let’s get going, the others are probably waiting for us.”

As they left they found Hilde and Freya both on the carriage. Mark asked Freya, “Joining us for breakfast?”

Freya's face was flickering between various emotions and side-eyeing Hilde. “Yes, Laura said it was important for us to be there.”

Mark didn’t want to get in the middle of whatever was between the sisters, though he had a good idea what it was. They rode down mostly in silence with Chloe taking one last opportunity to get a quick blowjob in while they had at least semi-privacy.

Breakfast was a more simple affair this morning but did contain dino-bacon, much to Bruno’s delight. After everyone had gotten food and more importantly coffee, Laura told the others about the two books Talia and she had found.

Mark responded, “That’s fantastic news.”

Hilde was practically vibrating in her seat with excitement. Freya put a hand on her thigh to calm her.

Talia responded, “Agreed. I plan on thoroughly reviewing both books today and welcome any assistance others want to offer. I will warn you though, the books are thick, contain more pages than they appear to and have very tiny print.”

Flora chimed in, “Well Merida you should definitely go help.”

As all eyes turned to her she froze with her mouth full. She quickly finished her bite and said. “Why me?”

“Because you read that massive text book in like two and half hours and actually understood all the material. You’re a speed reader.”

“No, I’m not.”

Flora rolled her eyes and pulled out a book. The title read ‘Mark’s list of turn ons’ which was a rather thick book. “Okay everyone see this book? Good. Raise your hand if you think being able to read, remember and comprehend a text book slightly bigger than this in just over two hours, enough that you can put the knowledge into practice is extremely fast.” Everyone raised their hands. “Well you most certainly are now Merida.” Flora smirked at her. “We all think you are, so you are.”

Merida raised a finger to object, then lowered it. “Does that really work like that? Is it really that simple?” Flora handed over the book in her hand to Merida. She started flipping through it rather quickly. “Okay, that was noticeable even to me. I guess count me in Talia.” Merida handed the book back to Flora and she put it away.

“Before you ask Mark, yes, I’ve read the whole book.” Flora said, “And no I’m not giving it to you, sorry but you are the exception to my rule about giving books to the person they are about after reading them.” Flora playfully stuck out her tongue at him.

“I understand. I’m just glad you aren’t holding the books over the others.”

~Pop~

“I think it’s time for me to make my announcement.” Cassandra said with a beaming smile. “A colleague of mine, Genet, has reached the first challenge of her new season. I believe Mark is actually familiar with the season, having read quite a bit of it himself. I would like each of you to take some time and write a letter to at least one of the people on her season. I have assigned some of you, specific people to write the letter for and I’m giving you a brief understanding on what is going on in that season. You are permitted to send small gifts preferably non-magical or one time consumables.”

After gaining knowledge of the other season Flora snorted in amusement. “Hey Mark?”

Mark did not like the devilish tone Flora had. “What Flora?”

“I’m just curious, how do you feel about the fact you masturbated to Dick dicking his women?”

Mark slightly cringed, “Look I didn’t know they were real people. It’s a little weird now that I do, but frankly it isn’t that different from watching porn.”

Cassandra continued. “If you have any questions feel free to ask me or Mark. I would appreciate it if you would take an hour or two now.” Cassandra conjured a lounge chair plopped down on it, flicked on a pair of sunglasses and pulled out a book titled, ‘How to Discipline Unruly Children Effectively When They Don’t Do The Very Simple Tasks You Requested’.

Mark noticed the stupidly long title in big font and took the hint. “Okay before we do as Cassandra has requested, is there anything else people need to talk to me about? Either as a group or individually?”

Ellen and Sam raised their hands. Ellen started, “I would just like you to remove some things from the tower, Mr. Garret.” Mark nodded.

“My thing is private Mark.” Sam said. “If we could talk before writing the letters, I would appreciate it.”

So the three of them went inside the cottage while paper and pens appeared on the table for everyone else.

After quickly removing all the bondage gear from Ellen she left the cottage. Mark did notice the impressively high count on her collar of 57, before the gear vanished returning to the tower. Mark then turned to Sam and asked, “What’s up Sam?”

“It’s about Aubrey.” Mark sighed. “Don’t be like that. She finally asked me for help. I’m here asking you to help her. Look I know you were thinking of fixing her TF with Laura’s deal but I don’t think you should wait. Unless you are planning on knocking her up tonight you should seriously consider fixing her TF today. Even if you are planning to impregnate her I would still consider buying the fertility upgrade for her, in exchange for desire.”

“I actually am considering knocking her up.”

“Seriously? That’s a big step. You sure you’re ready for that?”

“No. But I doubt that will change any time soon. I had already told her yesterday that if she wants to try we can. Chloe convinced me to at least offer the option to just knock her up though.”

“You aren’t happy about it though?”

“Not overly.”

“You seemed to very much want children though.”

“Sure, and I have a breeding fetish, so the idea is hot as hell to me. The thing is right now, I’d be excited to do that with some of you. She isn’t one of them, though.”

“Am I?” Sam asked nervously.

“Yes.” Sam figured that would be his answer but still blushed.

“Well, I thought up a way besides drinking Aubrey’s milk that might help her bond with you. She’s not going to get milked this morning. So by this evening she’s going to be seeking your guidance for sure, maybe earlier. I think you could get her to focus on the two of you instead of your future kids if you guide her right.”

“Wait, she wants me to do this?”

“I think she doesn’t know what to do. Mark, she's miserable. She hides it well but she is. I get that you are upset about her treatment of Chloe and Talia. I am too. But are you going to be the kind of man who holds a person’s fuck ups against them when they try to make amends? She’s realized she messed up. She has apologized to everyone. She even told you which, I don’t know if Laura or Ellen would have told you anyway but everyone else had agreed it was up to Aubrey and we wouldn’t be the ones to do it. Talia even said that she would have tried to persuade Laura to keep quiet if that’s what Aubrey wanted. She’s making an effort to repair the damage with the rest of us.”

“I think part of my issue is that I don’t know how Talia and Chloe have been affected by her actions.”

“Well, I do. Aubrey explained what Merida found to me while I was kicking her butt some more yesterday. It essentially enhances existing bonds causing them to grow slightly. As far as Merida could tell it doesn’t create new ones. While she doesn’t know exactly what bonds were strengthened between them since too much time had passed it was obvious immediately after Chloe drank from Aubrey. It is apparently a very small increase from just drinking from her once. I can essentially confirm that too, since I drank from her, and that meshes with my experience and feelings.” Mark raised an eyebrow in confusion. “Yes, I drank from her. I wanted to know what the effects really felt like to get a better understanding of the TF and how it works. Just let us deal with this please and focus on building something with her. Also you should have a lot more BP available between selling the dino meat and Cassandra’s deal if you take it, just buy her something to fix the TF now. Even if you are getting her pregnant.”

Mark had a look of consternation so Sam continued. “Get out of your head. Please, Mark. I know you are concerned about all of us. I’m telling you that right now you need to be very concerned about Aubrey. I think Isabella being added and the pregnancy TF has made her ****. Forgive her or don’t but no one is going to be pleased about—”

“SAM!” Mark shouted in frustration. Mark pinched the bridge of his nose and took a few deep calming breaths. “I’m sorry I shouted. I get it, but I feel like I’m getting berated about something I was already going to do something about. This is actually something I wanted to talk to you about. This isn’t the first time I’ve felt like you have just tried browbeating my opinion or feelings about something until I relent. You give good advice, and you notice problems I don’t. I want you to keep bringing things to my attention but you shouldn’t continually pressure me to simply take your solution as my own. I had already told you, I was going to talk to her about it more today and even offered unprotected sex yesterday. I don’t need you telling me that I need to feel a certain way about things.”

“I’m sorry. I felt like you weren’t understanding me, and felt like I had to drive the point home.”

“Well, please don’t. I get it Aubrey is unhappy because of her TF. I knew that. But please just let me feel how I feel about it, especially when I’ve accepted doing something I’m not overly thrilled about. I get that this is likely your Practice Makes Perfect to some extent but I don’t appreciate being berated.”

“I’ll try to do better about that.”

“Thank you.” Mark got up and hugged Sam. “I still love you. Being frustrated doesn’t change that.”

“Thank you. I love you too.” Sam bit down on her lips to keep from saying more. Dang having competing compulsions is confusing as hell.

“Now I guess we have some letters to write.” Mark gestured towards the cottage door to rejoin the others.

I will include a link to the chapter with the fan mail when it is published on the other branch.
