Garcia gasps as she learns that her Master also owns her girlfriend

"Wait...you also own my girlfriend?!" Garcia gasped as you saw the by-now telltale acceptance of the marker psychically influenced her mind. "I didn't know that...I...should I apologize for starting a romantic & sexual relationship with Kristen without your permission, sir?" She said as she suddenly babbled quickly, blushing in embarrassment.

"No need to apologize, Garcia, you didn't know," you replied, trying to keep your voice calm and reassuring as you raised your hands in a placating gesture even as you couldn't help but feel a little bewildered inwardly. "Besides, I already told you that I was fine with you loving your girlfriend and teammate in the open even if that would have been against army regulations while you were still there. And I stand by what I told you," You added, giving her a reassuring smile, which in turn made her sigh in obvious relief.

"Thank you so much, sir," Garcia replied, her voice no longer tinged with embarrassment but rather gratitude. "It was tough keeping it a secret before, so I am just glad it's out in the open now."

Zhang, meanwhile, cleared her throat from the door, her gaze shifting between you and the mark of ownership on Vander's skin. "Well, now that was an interesting development, sir, but you asked us to check for dangers from the balcony, and I am pleased to report that we saw nothing of concern from that angle," she replied, her tone almost absurdly well adjusted and professional after she quickly internalized the fact that you also owned another of her teammates in every way.

Her quick and unquestioning acceptance was almost enough to get you quite hard in and of itself...

You shook your head once as if to clear it of the distracting thoughts. You had just had a wonderful threesome less than half an hour ago, after all. It was best not to get greedy and distracted while there was still work to be done while they still had daylight.

"That is great to hear," you finally said. "I imagine the feast will be ready in the social area of the second floor within the hour. But before it starts, I would like to take a moment to consult with Staff Sergeant Foreman and Lieutenant Mills. The former so that I can check out her inventory list of assets and resources around the building that I asked her to compile before we returned from our mission so that we can have a better idea of how to best harness the resources at our disposal, and the latter because we still need to arrange the night shifts to stand guard for zombie menaces and potential raiders while the rest of the building sleeps. For now though, the two of you are free to rest here on the couch and maybe take turns taking a shower so that one of you is always watching Sergeant Vanders until the doctors return from inspecting their new apartment. Afterwards, you may join us on the feast if you wish, but if you prefer to stay here watching over your girlfriend, Garcia, I will have someone send you food."

The two of them nodded in understanding and saluted. You gave them a small smile at that and then turned around, heading outside so you could continue your self-imposed ongoing work to improve the chances the members of your group could have to survive and thrive better than most other groups in the aftermath of the collapse of society.

After all...you had a growing harem of wonderful and attractive women to protect and provide for. Best to take it seriously.
