Brief talk with Cass

"Bye!"

"Bye-bye!" Chloe waved at him and dashed to the entrance. The bell had just rung. It was time to go in. Once she disappeared inside, Aaron smiled in relief. His life was a complicated mess but with her it seemed to tip back onto the side of normalcy. It gave him motivation and a pleasant break to look forward to.

It was just him and Cassandra in the car. The engine was eerily silent. He opened his mouth but before he could speak Cassandra climbed through the middle and went to the passenger's seat. She was lithe and quick and plopped down in a second.

"So."

Cassandra smiled at him. "So."

Aaron swallowed. He wasn't sure how to begin the conversation so he decided to use his go-to technique. "Chloe is going to school. It's great."

A nod. "Mm."

"I feel really relieved, you know? I can chill for six hours and either go to the Manor or my workplace. It's just so flexible, you know?" He said you know twice. His nerves were catching up to him. Cassandra smiled knowingly and let him relax for a few seconds. "By the way, Cass, about the whole, erm…"

What was it she asked him? To cuck her? That was technically what it was. She wasn't asking for an open relationship or polygamy. Open relationships meant they were loose and fast with whom they dated and fucked. Polygamy was much tighter. It wasn't just sex with no strings attached, there was an emotional attachment between the couple and their new lover(s).

In response to the dull silence and suggestion, the young woman's cheeks reddened and she fiddled with her fingers.

"We…" Cassandra breathed and started again, this time with additional confidence. "...we can just start with videos…." Okay, she was murmuring again. "Um, watching you have sex directly would be…"

"Y-yeah, let's build up to it. If you want to, of course," Aaron added hurriedly. "If you don't, then just say the word."

"Mhm." Cassandra nodded shyly. God, they were both bad at this.

"I…I think I have someone in mind today," Aaron said. "At work. She might agree, she might not. If I do succeed, it's…do you want me to…?"

A nod. "Pictures," Cassandra muttered, face down but eyes darting towards him excitedly.

"By the way, we should also make this clear: this isn't an open relationship. I'm only doing this because, well, you want to. If you ever want me to stop, I'll do it, no questions asked."

Aaron was serious too. He had said it once and he'd say it again: there was only so much sex in the world, so much joy that you could gain from a harem. He didn't HAVE to fuck his hypnotized Harem, it was merely a formality. With his current level of powers, he could easily control Lady Shiva. Although he enjoyed her honest servitude, she had done fucked up stuff. Hypnotizing her didn't exactly bring guilt to his heart.

"Aaron…" Cassandra called out. She placed her hand over his. "I…I'm not sure if I ever will. I love watching people have sex. Almost as much as having sex with you."

"Really? I'm not lying about stopping, you know. Do you really want to do this?" His eyes travelled to her stomach. They still needed to do a pregnancy test but–

"Really."

Cassandra pulled him by the back of his head and reeled him in for a kiss. Damn, she was quite the minx, wasn't she? Aaron closed his eyes and melted into the passion. So this was it: this was the agreement.

'Sorry, Cass,' Aaron said mentally, a hand on her cheek, furthering the kiss. 'I did lie a little bit there. Although I said work, it's not the work you're thinking of.'

Indeed. Two weeks ago, he had met with Talia, Angel Breaker, and Lady Shiva about when he would go to Lazarus Island. Today was that day. Today was the day he would breed Talia al Ghul and Angel Breaker.
