Red is the rose that in yonder garden grows

“You’re really making a lot of food,” Nick said, walking over to Holly as she was preparing dinner. It was a big meal this time, because she was cooking for three (with a little set aside for herself, of course).

And one of those three was Marley.

“Are you sure you need this much?” He asked, looking at the massive amount of dishes set out on the table.

“Well, Marley’s coming, right?” Holly laughed. “I’m gonna guess she has a huge appetite like Mimi, so I’m just being cautious!”

“Yeah, I guess that makes sense…” He nodded, averting his eyes.

Holly picked up on his hesitation immediately.

“What’s the matter?” She asked. “You’re not having second thoughts, are you?”

“I mean… it’s kind of hard not to, right?” Nick sighed. “It’s weird. Marley… she used to be Mimi… or I mean, she still IS Mimi… and she’s coming along with Carly on our night together, after she got eliminated? You don’t see how that’s weird?”

He had memories of meeting Marley once, when she came over to visit her sister. That was it, just one time. It was a nice night, they talked about flowers. But it was completely different from his memories of Mimi. He wasn’t sure how he was supposed to treat her. And he kept remembering the nights he spent with the slime girl, when Mimi pleased him sexually. Marley had to remember those too, right?

This was going to be incredibly awkward… and that was only half of his issue at the moment.

“I get it,” Holly nodded. “And you’re right, it is pretty strange. Sisters are hot, twins even moreso, and when you put them together…” She shivered in delight, then sobered up. “Excuse me, sorry,” she apologized, clearing her throat. “Given your relationship with the two of them, I can see how it might be a bit awkward, but… who knows. Her role is to serve as Carly’s support, right?’

A wicked smile crossed Holly’s face as she imagined all the possibilities involved with that.

“So doesn’t that mean… the two of them might work together to pleasure you?”

Nick flushed, and his dick hardened at the thought. Issues with Mimi aside, Carly and Marley were both gorgeous women, and the idea of them servicing him together… he would have to be a eunuch to not feel aroused by the possibility.

But there was another thing that occupied his mind.

“I’m not going to deny that I’m feeling anxious about it,” he admitted. “If the two of them work together, that would be sort-of my first threesome, you know? And I’m not sure if I’m equipped to handle that… but at the same time, there’s something else on my mind that’s really giving me a hard time, so I can’t even focus on that.”

Holly stared at him like he was crazy. “Wait, let me get this straight, are you telling me there’s something that’s got you MORE confused and flustered than the idea of getting with a pair of super-hot big-breasted twins who both want you?!”

Nick nodded, and Holly couldn’t believe what she was hearing.

Then he said something that put everything in perspective.

“It’s Mary.”

Holly deflated, nursing her temples. “Oh, that girl… what’s she done now?” She asked gently. She adored Mary, she really did, but her best friend had a bad habit of handling things poorly. “She didn’t chastise you for encouraging **** or sleeping with two people at once, did she?! Because I swear…”

“No, it’s nothing like that!” Nick hastily shut down that line of thinking. The last thing he wanted was for Holly and Mary to start fighting with each other. “It has nothing to do with tonight.”

Holly blinked. “…Oh. Then forget about it.”

He stared at her. “Forget about it?”

She puffed up her cheeks and placed her hands on her hips. Her scowl was illuminated by the soft glow of the candles.

“Nick, how many times do I have to tell you? When you’re spending the night with a girl, you should only be thinking about her! Or, in this case, the two of them!” She used his real name instead of calling him master, so he knew how serious she was.

“Yeah, I know, but-”

Holly shook her head. “No, no buts. The only ‘buts’ you should care about right now are those belonging to a set of sexy twins, you got it? This night is for Carly. And, I guess, Marley too, in a way. And how are those two going to feel if their one night a week with you is spent with you worrying about someone else’s feelings?”

He couldn’t argue, she was completely right.

Holly’s expression turned tender and she walked over to him, gingerly touching his cheek. “Look, whatever the issue with Mary is, I promise I’ll help you sort it out in the morning. It’s not that urgent of a problem, right?”

“No, I guess not,” he admitted.

“Good. Then forget about this whole Mary mess, and focus on giving those girls the pounding they deserve! You’re pulling double duty tonight, master, you’ve gotta do your best!” She winked, her eyes flashing with hearts. Nick nodded and resolved to put aside his awkward feelings towards Mary for now, and focus on the twins.

But there was a bit of discomfort with the twins themselves. Before Morgana reported to Dawn’s room, before the cat girl gave her the mountains of helpful advice she would need to confront herself, she had to babysit a pair of women who were faced with an awkward dilemma of their own.

“It’s fine, I don’t have to go!” Marley protested. “This is YOUR night with Nick, I’m just going to get in the way!”

“Shove it, you’re coming with me,” Carly said, shaking her head. “What’s the plan? You’re going to stay in here and just be a puddle of slime on the floor?”

“Please don’t,” Dawn piped up, lifting her eyes from her book. “I really don’t want to end up stepping in a glob of Marley if I need to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night.”

“There you have it!” Carly grinned. “No globbing. You’re coming with me!”

“B-but…” Marley was protesting just to protest at this point. She knew that when her sister had her mind set on something, there was really no convincing her otherwise. But to return to the Master’s Suite as herself…

“I just can’t!” She wailed. “Seeing the two of you together like that…! It would just be gross and weird, don’t you think?”

She used that lie to conceal her real feelings on the matter. The truth was, the idea of Carly and Nick together didn’t gross her out. It made her heart ache.

“Come on, seriously? Sis, I know you’re a virgin, but…”

“It’s not about that!” Marley wailed, slapping her sister’s hand off her shoulder. “You… you wouldn’t understand…”

She looked down at the floor and began to shake. Not sure what else to do, Carly stepped forward and pulled her sister into a hug.

“Hey, I get it, okay? I’m not BLIND,” she reminded her. “You have feelings for Nick, right? Real feelings, I mean. Not… penis in the vagina feelings.”

Marley snorted. Back in high school, she had chastised her sister over and over for sleeping around with boys.

“You should be more conscious of yourself!” She’d cried. “Sex is something precious between two people in love! You shouldn’t do it with someone you don’t have feelings for!”

“But I do have feelings for him!” Carly would always reply back. “Penis in the vagina feelings!”

Then she’d laugh and Marley would sigh in exasperation, and the situation would repeat itself again the next time she caught her sister in bed with somebody.

But this was no laughing matter.

“Carly…” Marley winced. “It’s not like… come on, I mean… you don’t think…?”

“What, that you have feelings for Nick? Come on, Marley, we’re twins,” Carly said, rolling her eyes. “You think I don’t know what my own face looks like when it’s in love with somebody?”

Marley stared at her. Honestly? She kind of doubted it.

“…Well, whatever. My point is, you don’t need to hide it. You can tell me the truth. You like him, don’t you?”

Marley hung her head and sighed. “Even if… for sake of argument… even if I did… so what? I mean… it’s not like… it’s not like anything would come of it anyway. I’m not a part of his harem anymore. I’m just… your sister.”

“Hey.” Carly lightly slapped her sister’s cheek. Not hard enough to turn it red (well, any redder) but just enough to get her attention. Then she rubbed it gently. “You’re way more than just my sister. You know that, right? It doesn’t matter that those memories of ours were implanted. You’re still real, Marley. And those feelings of yours are real, too. So be honest with me, okay?”

Marley sighed, and then nodded.

“Okay… you’re right,” she admitted. “I don’t want to go… because I like Nick. And the thought of seeing the two of you together, it’s just… I’m not sure I’m ready for that, not this soon.”

“I see… yeah, that’s tough.” They were in a tough position. Marley didn’t want to watch her sister bang the guy she liked, but she didn’t exactly want to spend the night as an amorphous blob, either. She’d be unable to do anything other than think about the two of them together anyway.

Either way she looked at it, the situation was fucked.

“Why don’t the two of you just do it together?” Dawn looked up from her book. “I mean, Marley, if you don’t want to watch your sister have sex with him on the sidelines, then why not just… join in?”

“Yeah, exactly!” Carly nodded. “That’s what I’m saying! We’re both smoking hot, he’ll be thrilled if we go at him together!”

Marley still wasn’t convinced. “B-but… why would he want me? You’re different, Carly, you’re the girl in his harem, and I’m just… I don’t even know what I am. He wouldn’t want me…”

This time Carly wanted to smack her upside the head. But she held back, not wanting to ruin her sister’s good looks right before they went to go pleasure a boy.

“Marley, we look exactly the same. Trust me, every guy in the world wants to get with a pair of smoking-hot twins, and Nick is no exception,” she assured her. “He’ll love it! Way more than if it was just me!”

“I-I guess…” Marley stared warily at the eager expression in Carly’s eyes, and felt her heart waver. She wanted this, she really did… but the way Carly was framing it made her feel worse.

Marley had spent her whole life in Carly’s shadow, struggling to identify herself beyond her role as a twin. Something that was difficult to do when, in the back of her mind, she knew these memories had been formed from a warping of history, for the sole purpose of making her Carly’s twin.

She couldn’t count the number of times they’d been referred to as “Carly and her sister”. Or the amount of guys that had approached her because they’d already gotten with Carly, and wanted to sleep with her next to “round out the set”. It turned her stomach with disgust. And the worst ones of all were the ones that even Carly wouldn’t have sex with, who then came sniffing around her hoping to get with the “consolation prize”. They all thought she was so easy, because Carly was easy, and had nearly turned her off men altogether.

No one wanted her just because she was Marley. Boys only ever saw her in the context of “Carly’s sister”.

But Nick wasn’t like that. She remembered the night she’d come to stay over with Carly. Her sister had tried to drag them both out to a party, but neither one of them had obliged. Marley said she was too tired from the trip up, and Nick said he’d rather die than go to a college party with a girl who couldn’t keep her shirt on for more than ten minutes when **** was involved.

Of course, Carly didn’t let them ruin her fun and went out alone that night. And Marley stayed in with Nick, and… they’d talked.

“I’m actually glad you didn’t want to go either,” he’d said. “Carly is way too much to handle sometimes. I’d rather get to know you a little more. So what kind of stuff are you into?”

She knew those memories were fake. Every word they spoke had been lines from a script conjured into being by Sylvia’s powers. But to her they were real. For the first time, a guy had looked at her not because she was Carly’s sister, but because of who she was.

But Carly liked him first, and she’d given up on her feelings.

Marley didn’t want to spoil those memories by just being some twin in Nick’s threesome fantasy. But the way Carly was pleading with her… her sister wanted this.

She couldn’t let her down.

Marley sighed and nodded her head begrudgingly.

“Alright, fine,” she agreed. “I’ll come with you tonight.”

“For real? Yes! You’re the best, sis!” Carly pulled her into a bear hug and Marley sighed. She had no defense against cuddles.

“Let me just get you your costume!”

Wait, what?

“Um, Carly, I’m not so sure about this…” She wants me to dress up?! In a costume?! Is she serious right now?!

“Come on, it’ll be great!” Her sister had already reached the closet, frantically digging through her wide selection of cosplay. “I’ve got the perfect one… just need to find… yes! I knew I had a spare! Now, about that wig…”

Marley broke into a cold sweat. She hadn’t felt this wet and sticky since she was a slime.

Nick answered the door and was blown away by what he saw standing in front of him.

Now, Nick had never seen a certain anime that Morgana happened to love. He knew enough about it from trolling on internet forums and from Dani’s rants on social media about the **** of real romance in anime and how everything nowadays was brainless smut.

But even if he didn’t know the names of the two characters in front of him, he’d seen them in various images and gifs countless times.

He recognized Carly, because she was still wearing the same costume she’d worn all day. Which meant the redhead beside her was… Marley?

It had to be her, but she was presenting herself in a way he never would have imagined the shy, withdrawn Marley to present herself in. She wore the same school uniform as her sister, but supplemented it with a long, curly wig of bright red hair, far more striking than Mary’s natural hue. With their obscenely giant curves, the twins looked like they’d come strutting right out of an anime and right into his bedroom.

“Good evening, Nick,” Carly said with a throaty purr in her voice. “May we come in?”

Marley didn’t say anything, she just nodded rapidly. Her cheeks were quickly turning redder than her hair.

Nick swallowed and let them both inside. Carly would have been happy to get into the sex right there and then, but Marley had other priorities. Wanting to put this off as long as possible she bobbed her bimbo body over to the dinner table so she could fill herself up before Nick got the chance to do it for her.

Men the world over would be cursing Nick’s luck at the feast laid out before him, and he didn’t mean Holly’s cooking. Four huge, heaving breasts strained against their uniforms, leading down into tapered waists that were impossibly thin before blossoming out again into the swollen hips and plump asses pushing their tight skirts up up up until they served a more reasonable function as a belt than anything designed for coverage. His cock was hard the second they arrived, and now he had to sit through dinner with these two sinfully attractive demon cosplayers?!

Holly watched from the corner with a greedy smile on her face, relishing the situation. Oh, Nick was going to have a fun time tonight!

“I’m so glad we get to spend tonight together, don’t you agree, Rias?” Carly asked her sister with a wink. Marley scowled.

“Don’t do that,” she mumbled through mouthfuls of food. “I’m not gonna… I don’t want to do the whole… roleplay thing.”

It was bad enough that Nick would be seeing her as Carly’s sister. She didn’t want to be a completely different person on top of that.

It turned out that Holly was right on the money in her anticipation of Marley’s appetite. The girl put away her food just like Mimi, though with a little bit more grace than the slime girl had. Turning into a human had done wonders for her table manners, even as she sucked down plate after plate like a hoover vacuum.

Carly, in contrast, barely touched her meal. She was hungry for something else entirely, and she made it clear with the way she rubbed her stocking-clad foot against Nick’s crotch as the two of them sat across from each other. He winced, trying to enjoy his food while feeling the silky-soft sole of her foot rub insistently against him, teasing him with what was to come when the meal was finished.

This is unreal. It’s her foot for God’s sake, how does it feel so good?! He couldn’t believe he was almost cumming already from a foot of all things. Did that count for a point? Maybe that’s what she was aiming for. But no, Carly seemed to have no interest in getting him off. As soon as it felt like he might be reaching the edge of his limits, she took her touch away, letting him struggle in his pants for a little. Only when he calmed down did she finally return to teasing him, always keeping him right at the edge but not letting him go over.

And she made small talk the whole time, too, like she wasn’t giving him a footjob right under her sister’s nose.

“What do you think of our costumes, Nick?” She asked. “Don’t you think Marley looks rather beautiful? I let her be the main heroine this time around.”

“Yeah, uh… you look really nice, Marley,” he complimented her, face red. He felt too ashamed to look at her for more than a few seconds given what was happening right beneath the table.

Marley blushed. “Um… thank you?” She mumbled, averting her eyes. She felt put on display, something she wasn’t at all comfortable with compared to her sister.

Carly kept goading her. “She’s just as pretty as me, don’t you think? Maybe even prettier with that red hair…”

“Uh, I mean… she’s always looked good,” he stammered, not sure how he was supposed to answer that. Why did Carly want to **** him so much!?

…More like **** both of them. Marley looked just as mortified as he felt.

“How was your meal?” Holly cheerily interrupted them just as Marley finished clearing the table, causing her and Nick to both jump. Carly lowered her foot, leaving Nick to deal with a screaming erection in his pants.

“It-it was fine,” he stammered, looking down at the meal he’d barely picked at due to Carly’s distractions. Holly smirked, knowing exactly what he’d been “enjoying” the whole time.

“Th-thank you,” Marley mumbled, her face heating up. She was completely clueless about the little game her sister had been playing.

“Shall we get to it, then?” Carly rose from her seat, shaking her ass over towards the bed. Marley and Nick both followed her, almost as if they were caught in a trance by her fleshy rump. Then she turned and snapped up Marley’s wrist with lightning-fast reflexes, pulling her over and pressing their chests together.

“It’s bed time, little sister,” she giggled, undoing the buttons on Marley’s uniform. “We have to get ready for bed you know.”

Nick watched, enraptured by the sight of Carly stripping her sister down to her underwear. Her own uniform was quick to follow, and before he knew it both girls were standing in front of him in silky black lingerie. Carly looked completely natural, while her sister had the most awkward smile imaginable plastered to her face.

Then out of nowhere, Carly grabbed her sister by the waist and practically threw her onto the bed.

Flumph!

“Wait, Carly, what are you-hey!” Marley struggled as her sister leapt on top of her, and the two of them wrestled. Not sexy wrestling either, but an act of physical dominance that caught the younger twin by complete surprise.

Nick was so stunned he didn’t know if he should step in to help or not. But before he could do anything, the battle was won.

Carly sat back on the bed with a triumphant expression on her face, as her sister struggled in front of her. Her head rested on her twin’s lap, somehow managing to keep her crimson wig in place, but she was helpless. Her legs were propped up, with Carly holding one in each hand. She folded Marley in half like a pretzel, with her arms pinned down under her knees. Her panty-covered pussy was soaked and presented to Nick, with Marley unable to do anything about it.

“What are you doing?! Let me go!” Marley wailed.

“Carly, what the heck is going on?” Nick asked, finally snapping back to reality after the sexy wrestling match that shouldn’t have been as sexy as it was.

“It should be obvious, shouldn’t it?” Carly asked, as if pinning down your twin and presenting them to a boy was something every sister did. “My sister is a virgin, Nick.”

Marley turned pale and Nick gulped at the wicked smile on Carly’s face.

“And I’m giving her to you.”
