I wana fall in love

• Sorry to interrupt again my friends, between a small trip around the 4th of July and my next surgery on the 9th of July I don't know how many chapters I am going to get to write. Please check back around the 12th of July as I'll be home and will likely resume then. Cheers hope you enjoy the end of the first phase of the story two more phases to go!

At least I thought I was going home with the girls. It turns out we went back to the police station because I wasn't seriously hurt other than the two wounds on my back. I needed to be debriefed on this operation because I was willing to be a part of it. 
 
I was led to Captain Geomonty's office by Madison and sat in one of his chairs. He was right behind us, closing his door and sitting in his chair; it still looked comically small compared to his muscular frame. 
 
"Well, my boy, that was one hell of a bust. I can't say I have a good idea as to how I am going to write up my report." He boomed. 
 
"I don't understand. How did all this happen? So quickly too!" I asked, looking at him and Madison both. 
 
"Well, you can thank Maddy here. She called me as soon as you and her came up with this stupid idea of getting yourself captured. Plans like this usually take months of planning, but you had to go and do it in a night! After you were captured and all of your girlfriends wanted to go rescue you with pocket knives and Kung fu, Maddy realized that she needed help and that she needed to make sure this cultist's cell went away permanently. So she asked me to pull the strings I needed to get a SWAT team and about a dozen uniformed officers I trusted with being discrete. 
 
Once we had our team, we had to know where you were and when we could strike. Your friend Tessa helped with that; she had a way into their network and was able to pull video off their security cameras. We found you, and we also found the hostages, including those eight women who were part of that bizarre ritual.
 
I am not going to pretend to understand what I saw when we busted in there—that giant thing coming out of that archway, the leader, Aleksey, who somehow was deflecting the bullets, and you being able to do what you did. Thankfully, it looks like the threat is gone, and the cultists that are left alive will be going to jail for a long time.
 
I want you to know I will do what I can to make this read like you were just a **** victim and not a part of the rescue effort, and certainly not about you throwing a thousand-pound statue like it was a sack of potatoes to banish a 10-foot spectral monster! I would be laughed off the ****." He finished.
 
"You earned my respect in that fight and in dating my goddaughter." Captian Geomonty said, "Now go home and heal and rest; if we need anything else, we will be in contact with you." He shooed us away with his hands. 

Leaving the station and heading back to our new house, all the girls wanted to do was be close to me. After being in a literal harem sandwich for a half hour or so, we finally pulled into the house. We all went into the house. I was unceremoniously taken to the bedroom and cleaned up undressed; even my teeth were brushed, and I was put to bed with four of my friends. Madison was going down to talk to Tessa, who was apparently staying here tonight. 
 
I woke up about 2 a.m., slowly untangled the arms and legs of my human blanket, and went up to see if there was anything to drink. I opened the fridge and grabbed a coke. I went to shut the door, and as soon as it closed, Tessa was standing behind it—almost literally scaring the shit out of me. As it was, I accidentally crushed the can of coke, causing it to explode all over me and her. 
 
"God damn Tessa! A little warning! You're worse than that girl from the ring!" I said it exasperatedly.
 
"Sorry," she said. "I heard you come down and wanted to talk." She looked at me and down at her soaked pajamas. "The girls said you lasted a long time in bed, but this was a little premature, don't you think?" Gesturing at our state. Then she giggled. 
 
I tried not to smile. I was still pretty mad at her; she had lied to me this whole time and almost got me killed. "Well, you try facing an interdimensional demon from Hell thats trying to take over your mind, and try not to be a little jumpy when the creepy twin from the shinning appears to you when your getting a night cap." I said. 
 
"Ouch, am I that ugly?" She asked
 
"No, in fact, your ninja turtle PJ's are kind of turning me on." I laughed.
 
She got a sad look on her face, and then, as quickly as that, a determined one, then she threw her arms around my neck and kissed me on the lips, desperately hugging me and pulling me close. I pulled her away from me. 
 
"Tessa, what are you doing? There is a lot we have to discuss. I don't know what you have told me—the truth or a lie! You can't just kiss this away! I am letting you stay here because Madison insisted, but we are far from okay." I said it with some exasperation.
 
"I know that! God, I wish you could understand how sorry I am! There is so much I need to tell you and so much I am feeling right now, but it's not fair to you. I know you feel betrayed, and you have every right too. I did horrible things, and I have to take responsibility for them. We can talk in the morning if you're OK with that." She asked. 
 
"Why don't we talk now? I know I'm not getting any sleep after that. Why don't we go to your room and you can explain what has been going on since the beginning?" I asked
 
"That would be great, Matt. I want you to know everything I couldn't tell you before, and hopefully you will not hate me when I am done. 
 
I walked over to the laundry and grabbed two robes. I tossed one to Tessa and told her I would meet her in her room. She walked to the room she was staying in off the kitchen. I tossed all my clothes in the hamper and put the robe on. I grabbed another coke and an iced tea in case she wanted one before heading to her room.
 
Luckily, we had a nice set of high-back armchairs in here, so we were able to sit comfortably and talk. I sat down and put the drinks on the side table. When Tessa came out of the closet with the robe on, I couldn't tell if she had anything on underneath.
 
Tessa started to explain how she had been contacted by Aleksey and his cultists. They targeted her family and killed her uncle to show that they were serious about their threats to kill her family. She tried to use the AI as a way to track and fight back against the cult without it leading back to her.
 
Then she talked about the car accident and the **** and how she knew about them. She also talked about her feelings for me, especially after the accident, and how she had let Madison know when they were coming to the house and tracked them to the church so I could be rescued. Finally, all of the data she gave to law enforcement to convict the cult and how her family got protected by the Interpol agency. 
 
As I often do, I sat stunned by all of this new information. Sure, had Tessa lied to us and been a part of trying to get me killed and captured? Yes, but under the threat and **** of the COA. She was mostly innocent in this whole thing,  or at least I couldn't see how I would have reacted any differently than she did. 
 
"Tessa, I am so sorry you had to go through all of this; it isn't fair that you had to make all these horrible decisions, picking between me and your family." I finished. 
 
"So you don't hate me, Matt? Even though I played a part in all this, she said it in a broken voice.
 
"As I said, Tessa, you had ****,  and ultimately you took a risk on me, taking down the cult even at great risk.  Of course I don't hate you!" I finished. 
 
"That's good, Matt. Because I talked to Madison and the girls, I want you to do to me what you did to them. I want to be with you and them forever." She said the last part in almost a whisper.
 
"Tess, I don't know if this is the time to be making decisions like this; a lot of emotional and confusing stuff happened today. Why don't you sleep on this idea for a few days, and then we can talk about it?" I said, looking at her in disbelief.
 
"Matt I HAVE thought of this. When my family was taken by Interpol, I was given a choice: go into protective custody with them and never see my life here again, or say good-bye to them forever and continue my life here in America. I chose this life, but I want YOU and the girls to be my new family! Please, Matt, you have to accept me! Make me yours and a part of this family!" She finished shaking and had a determined look in her eyes.
 
I struggled for a bit but realized I wanted this too. Me and Tessa were so similar from a technical standpoint, and now that I know why she betrayed me and that she has no one to watch out for her, it would be almost cruel to not bring her into the fray. 
 
"Yes, Tessa Arnold, I accept you into this harem of mine. I will love and protect you and do everything in my power to make you happy." I said.
 
Tessa smiled, tears in her eyes, then dropped her robe, revealing nothing under it. Then, in one quick move, she hopped into my lap, sideways, surprising me. "Take me, Master; I am ready to please you!" She giggled...
