After action report.

That night I arrived at home, a bit confused about the images swimming in my mind. Naked legs, pronounced butts, girls embarrassed and crying.

Fuck, Kara was right, I did notice the attractiveness of some of the girls. Women... no... girls, they are just girls.

Fuck, Kara was right too about them developing feelings towards me, even fighting amongst themselves. Jealousy. Internal strife. For me. For a man twice their age. And in command.

“So? Did they party?” Kylie asked, whit the others clearly all awake.

Uh-oh... how am I going to explain this?

“A bit. Spin the bottle. ****. Arguing. Stripping... Interfered. Glared. Frowned. Gave sermon. Then advice. Set up mediator. Then night run for them.”

Not one of my best after action reports. The women were all giving me different looks. Kara radiated smugness about herself. Kate seemed pleased. Kylie watched me suspiciously. However few words I had spent on my reports, it always were too many. Even worse when I told as few as I just did. Less words, more concentration left to spend on the words spoken. When will I ever learn I can’t hide anything from them?

This time there would be no escape. No evading or changing the subject.

“Hmph. So at least you made them feel better at the end.” Kate stated, her pleased look dangerously shifting close to suspicion as well.

“Ha! I told you he would notice them in the end. Don’t look so suspicious at him, you two, you are frightening him. Look at him. He is checking the curtain, thinking probably to make a run for it.” Kara interfered on my behalf. But very much pleased with her predictions.

“Okay, easy now, you are right, Kara. Some of them are indeed very good looking girls... I mean women... No, I mean girls... Eh... Fuck... No, not ‘girls fuck’, I mean... Never mind.”

Lost again. Soundly defeated.

“Don’t look so afraid, Alex. I warned you it could happen eventually. Kate here noticed very fast some of the women were incredibly attractive.” Kylie tried to calm me down, but her mood changing fast to smugness about being right. Again. “And I also told you they would develop feelings for you.” But looking at Kara, like she wasn’t the only one to have predicted right.

“But they are arguing about it.” Kate stated the problem.

“Yes, they are. And they know I love Kylie very much. They shouldn’t be fighting, they should feel sad there is no good outcome for it. And move on.”

“Like we did?” Kate mockingly said.

“I already told you we agreed amongst us we wouldn’t interfere and we would welcome new women in our circle.” Kylie impatiently said.

“And it’s not that they are completely unaware of our arrangement.” Kara said.

“Wait, what?” I panicked.

“Hush now, Alex. Being the youngest of the training officers, they tell me more, they ask me more. Clara was the first to notice the odd way we are looking at each other. She said she couldn’t lay her finger on it, but she said it seemed we all loved each other very much. Her parents had the same way of looking at each other, certainly when they decided they couldn’t leave each other for the war and left both Clara in the hands of their neighbors.”

“Sophia heard and then said it was strange that Kylie only smiled lovingly at Kate, when she at one time was dreamingly staring at you.” Kara continued.

“And Ella was not even surprised when you let it slip that Kylie didn’t mind the attention you were giving Alex by hugging him.” Kate grinned at Kara. As if Kara wasn’t the only one to not have messed it up.

“Not to mention Kate saying the army told us in our first training to seek comfort in each other. She probably meant to say it as a form of advice to the women to talk to each other, but at the same time she was slightly blushing.” Kylie was playfully returning the punch to Kate on Kara’s behalf.

“Okay, it seems we all fucked it up. But why are they arguing about it?” I interfered, I heard a bit too much arguing for one night, although they were very amused about it and actually teased each other.

“I assume it was Clara and Sophia arguing about each other’s feelings for you?” Kylie asked.

“Eh... yes. How did you know it was those two? No... On second thought, I retract that question.”

“The cutest too...” Kate murmured. In herself, but loud enough to hear it as a question directed to me as well.

“Eh... yes.”

“Sophia has beautiful large breasts, I noticed.” Kara mentioned, seemingly out of nowhere.

Time to punch back...

“Not as beautiful as yours, or Kate’s, or Kylie’s... Now about that arguing?”

A bit flustered Kylie answered:

“They both have strong wills. Very much determined. I have to warn you, Alex. You could be swept away if they put their minds to it.”

Uh-oh... a swift counter punch.

“They are confused how to handle their feelings...”

“Clara didn’t seem all that confused.” I mused.

“Confused about their own feelings, and confused about why you seem to be the cause of developing feelings of so many others, so easily.” Kylie continued.

“Still confused about that one myself...” I murmured quietly to myself.

“They don’t see it yet how strange a man you are, how special... but they will soon.” Kara continued.

“Yes, and when they do, they will act upon it, like I did.” Kate finished.

“Oh...” That didn’t sound well.

“Timidly at first, perhaps, but very, very determined soon after that. And when they see you evading their attentions, they could leave you **** at all, like we did.” Kylie, scaring me a bit.

“By changing their tactics. By just being nice to you. And then genuinely nice. And we all know how that will end.” Kara added.

“Yes, I have my weaknesses too...” I had to admit.

“And you have to keep in mind, we will not interfere, but that doesn’t mean that if we see they are struggling too much we won’t slip up. We care for them too.” Kylie ended.

Like I already do... Looks like a battle of which I know beforehand I am going to lose. And no allies at sight. Why does it feel sometimes like they are pulling my strings? Like they want this ‘expansion’ more than I do? Never mind, Kylie already said so last time. No, best not to ask that question again.

“Right, right... If you don’t mind ladies, I feel a bit exhausted after this night’s events and after action report.”

And I did feel tired. Fighting and losing every time. Against the women and against myself. The greatest struggle is always the one you fight against yourself.

“Oh, poor baby... surrounded by women that left you no room to defend yourself, however hard you tried.” Kylie teasingly responded while tucking me in and cuddling besides me.
