You say it best, when you say nothing at all

After two back to back orgasms, Nick needed to take a break. Normally, it was his inclination to just power through sex, riding on the high of the mood and the tension between him and his partner. But after the intense night last night with both Dawn and Mary, and the sexual aggressiveness of Augmented Synthetic Humanoid Assassin, he really needed a break before they moved onto anything else.

To his surprise, she seemed happy to grant him that break. He would have expected Augmented Synthetic Humanoid Assassin to at least put up some kind of a fight and insist on doing more- hell, he hadn’t even really pleasured her at all! The only way he’d brought her to orgasm so far was through sweet words and playing on her transformations.

And yet she was happy to do it- even smiling and nodding in agreement!

Maybe it was because when Mary stepped in to request a break, she was carrying a bowl of ice cream. It wasn’t anything fancy like the sundaes she’d made for dinner, but it was ice cream and it was enough to make Augmented Synthetic Humanoid Assassin listen to Nick’s request to take it easy for a few moments.

“I’m surprised you of all people would need a break,” Holly said, rubbing Nick’s shoulders gently. She was taking the opportunity to give him a comforting massage while he focused on recharging his batteries. And of course, none of the women complained about Nick getting his shirt off. “Usually you’re just going at it, you know? Giving those girls all the love and care they need, I mean!”

She giggled playfully and Nick rolled his eyes. “Yeah, I know, you’ve got this image of me as this lothario, this sexual magnet, yeah, I get it.”

“Are you saying you’re not?” Holly held her hand over her mouth in mock surprise. “I don’t believe this… I’m shocked!”

Nick looked back over his shoulder and rolled his eyes.

“Well… maybe… maybe Holly has a point,” Mary said, smiling bashfully at her husband. She wasn’t giving him a massage, but she was sitting beside him on the bed and nodding approvingly along with what Holly was saying. “I mean…”

“I know what you mean,” Nick interrupted. It wasn’t hard to understand why Mary would be taking Holly’s side in this. While Mary wasn’t completely the same as his wonderfully-obsessive, maniacal little pervert, she was definitely fully in on the “Nick is an amazing sex god” position.

He appreciated that he had a wife who adored him- he adored her right back, after all.

“She’s not just buttering you up, master,” Holly said, pulling out the M-bomb. She shook her head. “Do you know how many times you and the girls did it last night? And it wasn’t just last night! Night after night, you and the others fuck each other’s brains out, and you manage to keep recovering and keep things going! And if you ask me… haaah… that’s amazing enough as it is…”

Nick didn’t have to see her face to know that there were probably hearts flashing in her eyes. Holly didn’t do things in half-measures, after all.

“I’m human,” Nick replied bluntly, shaking his head. “My body has limits, no matter how much you all seem to wish it didn’t!”

At the same time though, he wondered if Dakota hadn’t secretly given him a transformation to enhance his sexual stamina and recovery ability. Though if she had, why wasn’t it kicking in now?

Mary leaned in close and kissed him on the cheek. “Even if you aren’t some sexual master… I don’t need any of that,” she comforted him. Then she kissed him again. “I love you just the way you are.”

“Mary…” Nick gazed adoringly at his wife.

Augmented Synthetic Humanoid Assassin, seated on the other bed and enjoying her bowl of ice cream, scowled furiously at the two of them. She set down her bowl and crossed her arms over her chest indignantly.

Nick winced when he saw the disapproving look on her face. Right, he was supposed to be spending tonight with Augmented Synthetic Humanoid Assassin. He couldn’t leave her alone and play house with his wife right now, it wasn’t Mary’s night tonight.

“I should probably get back to work,” Nick said, moving to get up and approach Augmented Synthetic Humanoid Assassin. But Holly held on tight to his shoulders and Mary leaned in close. To his surprise, it seemed the two women had something up their sleeve.

“There’s something else you need to consider,” Mary whispered into his ear when he thought she was going in for another kiss.

“Huh?”

“Augmented Synthetic Humanoid Assassin… you need to do something about her,” Mary urged him. “She’s a loose cannon. And while that’s adorable sometimes, you need to keep her under control. That’s your job, right? After all, she’s a member of your harem. Don’t you want her to get along with the other women? I know that’s what I want.”

Nick knew what Mary was doing, and why she was doing it. Her Absolute Power transformation was working on her, urging her to corrupt Nick and make him follow her way of thinking. She was trying to get him to take control, because that thought aroused her greatly.

But she’s right. I need to get Augmented Synthetic Humanoid Assassin on the same page as the others. It can’t just be the two of us, she needs to bond with other people as well. Nick remembered the last challenge, where the girls all teamed up to take down Augmented Synthetic Humanoid Assassin together. It was her against practically every other woman in the harem simultaneously! And while the nature of the challenge made that a sensible proposal, Nick was trying to think of other challenges and imagine scenarios where Augmented Synthetic Humanoid Assassin would team up with the other members of his harem, and he was drawing a complete blank.

Mary was right. The assassin didn’t play well with others. And if anyone had a chance of changing that, it was Nick.

“Just think about it,” Mary coaxed into his ear, sliding her eyes towards the fuming assassin, who was starting to think that she’d been tricked. “Once she’s getting along with the rest of your harem, that opens the door to more threesomes, with her and the others. Can you imagine how her skills could translate into helping you with other women? She could use her strength to pin down Gina, or maybe you two could…”

“I’m going to stop you right there,” Nick said, pulling away. His cock was hardening at the sweet words she was whispering into his ear, and he wasn’t sure he liked it. He looked up at Mary who looked back at him with big, innocent eyes, seemingly not aware that she was being influenced by her transformation, or just not caring.

That was something they’d have to talk about later. Right now, Nick needed to take only the good parts of her advice and ignore the more dangerous elements.

“You’re right,” Nick admitted. “To some extent. But it’s not just up to me.” He turned to Augmented Synthetic Humanoid Assassin and gave her a gentle smile. “I need this to be a mutual thing, Mary. You get it?”

Mary blinked, moderately surprised. But she nodded and backed off. “Okay,” she relented. “If that’s what you want.”

“Looks like you’re ready to go, too,” Holly noted with amusement. “Give it to her good, master!” She skipped off to her cage while Mary hastily shuffled off the bed to make room for Augmented Synthetic Humanoid Assassin. The minute the path was clear, the slender girl leapt from her spot and practically tackled him down onto the mattress. Mary was barely able to get away in time.

The redhead retrieved the half-eaten bowl of ice cream, a little surprised that Augmented Synthetic Humanoid Assassin hadn’t finished it off. She went to go wash the bowl, and this time the assassin didn’t stop her.

Mary was less than a blip to her right now- Nick had her full attention.

But as she moved her hips lower and reached down to wrap her fingers around his throbbing shaft, he stopped her.

“Wait, hold on,” Nick urged her, earning him a look of surprise from the assassin. She blinked and stared down at him, tilting her head to the side in confusion.

Nick bit his lip.

“You had your chance to be on top last time,” he reminded her. “If we’re going to do this… wouldn’t it be alright if I took the lead? You’ve pleasured me a ton tonight, but I want the chance to make you feel good, too.”

Augmented Synthetic Humanoid Assassin blinked as a look of moderate surprise crossed her face. Then she looked almost bashful, like a shy girl hesitantly agreeing to give up her virginity with the slightest of nods. She let go of his wrists and flipped onto her back, staring up at him. She placed her wrists beside her head in a show of surrender, and Nick took her up on the offer.

He reached down and caressed her cheek, feeling her body respond quickly to his touch. She clenched her teeth together in a muted hiss and squirmed beneath him, arching her back to push her breasts out slightly.

“See?” Nick said, trailing his finger down her chest and tracing along the curve of her slender stomach, approaching the delta between her legs. “Even laying back and letting someone else take control can feel pleasurable too, right?”

She narrowed her eyes sharply and nodded her head. Then when Nick’s fingers brushed against her lower lips she tensed, and bit her lip.

Her eyes burned with command, and she silently ordered him to keep going.

That was what Nick had been hoping for- he drew back his hand in response, earning him a stunned look from the prone assassin.

“What? Did you want me to keep going?” He teased. “Frustrating, isn’t it?”

Augmented Synthetic Humanoid Assassin’s eye twitched, and she leaned up, looking ready to take what she wanted. But Nick’s disapproving frown put a stop to that.

“I’m in charge this time, remember?” He reminded her. “Consider it payback for how you teased me back at the pool.”

Augmented Synthetic Humanoid Assassin sulked, but it wasn’t like she could verbalize her objections. Nick doubted she’d be able to put up much of a fuss regardless. On some level, the irritated girl had to know he had a point, right? Even if she thought she’d made up for her actions by giving him those amazing blowjobs, it was only fair play to let him take his pleasure from her however he saw fit right now, and give him the chance for some teasing.

So she didn’t put up a fight, lying back down on the pillow and waiting for him to finish whatever **** he had in mind.

It wouldn’t be the first time she’d had to withstand **** in order to get what she wanted.

Nick wasn’t interested in pain, though, or even discomfort. He wanted to show Augmented Synthetic Humanoid Assassin that letting someone else be in control wasn’t such a bad thing. He’d given her a taste of it back at the hot spring, but right now she seemed ready to be convinced.

To reward her surrender he returned his fingers to her pussy and started rubbing her lower lips again, pleased to see just how wet she was. She squirmed underneath him, really looking happy that he was giving her what she wanted again.

But it would come with a price. As Nick climbed on top of the assassin, still keeping his fingers going, he leaned down and whispered into her ear, “Doesn’t this feel nice? Me touching you like this?”

He shifted his hips so his legs were planted on either side of her for balance, and used his free hand to give her chest a squeeze. She let out a muted moan and closed her eyes, nodding affirmatively to his question.

Good. Progress.

“I want to be able to keep bringing you pleasure,” Nick continued. “Because you deserve it. I want to make you happy. But I’m not sure… if I’m really capable of that.”

Her eyes snapped open and she looked questioningly at him.

“You’re a wonderful girl,” Nick said, leaning down and kissing her on the neck. “You’re fun and passionate and full of life. Today was amazing and it was because you faced everything with an open mind, even things you’d never done before.”

He could feel her tensing beneath him. It seemed like she was cluing into the fact that this wasn’t just pillow talk or foreplay.

“…But that’s why I need you to open up just a bit more,” Nick said, punctuating his comment by sliding two fingers gently inside her. She squeezed down tightly as her body tensed up again, and she looked warily up at him.

“Not down there… but… here.”

Nick gently groped her breast again, pushing his hand up against her pounding heart. Her flushed skin felt like fire beneath his fingers, and he wondered if part of her augmentations let her boost her body heat or if this was just normal. She sure felt scalding to the touch for a second there, before he got used to it.

“Right now, you’re a mystery to me, Augmented Synthetic Humanoid Assassin.” Nick kissed her on the neck again. “And I love mysteries… but I love solving them, too. I want to know everything about you, because I adore you so much. So please, won’t you let me inside? Won’t you let me know the real you?” He pleaded with her.

Biting her lip, Augmented Synthetic Humanoid Assassin stared up into his eyes. Then her hands snapped up and grabbed the sides of his face. She dragged him down into a sloppy kiss that made him freeze up suddenly, not expecting the forceful gesture from the assassin.

So much for letting him be in control. Her legs shot up around him and wrapped tightly around his waist, yanking him down and mashing their lower bodies against each other. Nick’s cock pressed up against the slippery wetness of her hungry lower mouth, and the heat coming off the intense woman bathed his aching cock in **** desire.

Part of him wanted to give in so badly, but he didn’t want to reward her bad behavior. So he used all the strength he could muster and tried to push against her.

It was a futile gesture- she was stronger than him, after all. If she wanted to latch onto him and never let go, he couldn’t stop her. Which was how he knew that when he started pushing her back, it was because she let him.

Augmented Synthetic Humanoid Assassin gazed into his eyes this time with something he never would have expected from her.

An apologetic sadness.

For the first time, Nick thought he saw a sign that his efforts weren’t for naught. It looked like she had something she wanted to say to him, but couldn’t.

His heart skipped a beat. That was progress.

“It’s okay,” he assured her, planting a gentle kiss on her lips. “When you’re ready, we can get to that stage. It doesn’t have to be tonight.”

She stared up at him with resigned understanding blended deliciously with weary relief. A nod of her head and the slightest of smiles let Nick know everything was okay, along with her opening her legs and relinquishing control back to him.

Her arms remained wrapped around his neck. But she was letting him take the lead.

Nick appreciated the gesture of surrender, and adjusted himself to align his cock with her pussy properly this time. At this point, sex was almost superfluous; the real connection they’d shared had been in that brief moment of eye contact, the silent conversation between a woman who wanted to be understood and a man who wanted to understand.

But superfluous or not, they both wanted it, and when Nick thrust inside her churning depths a moan escaped both their lips, even as only one voice echoed through the room.

“Ugh, fuck… I forgot how good you feel,” Nick groaned, burying himself to the hilt in the assassin’s channel. “It’s so warm and tight!” He pulled back his hips and thrust inside her again, delighting in how she thrashed beneath his body.

Augmented Synthetic Humanoid Assassin’s legs wrapped around him again, and she hugged him tightly. Nick could feel her body temperature rising, and he saw the desire blazing in her eyes. This was what it was all about, all of it, and as he kept thrusting inside her he knew from that heat that this time, she would be the one who finished first.

“Come on, you can do it,” he urged her, picking up the pace. “You know you want to give into the pleasure, you don’t have to fight it so much.” This would probably be the only time they had sex tonight, so maybe it was wrong to rush things. But she deserved to have her desires rewarded and he knew that he wouldn’t be able to hold on much longer himself.

As Nick thrust down deep inside her, he felt strange. It was so odd, to make love to a woman with no voice. It gave him a newfound gratitude for the passion of her touch, and how tightly she clung to him. If he couldn’t feel her pounding heart right up against his, he could be forgiven for thinking that his lover wasn’t even there, that this was mere masturbation with a lifelike sex doll. But it wasn’t, of course- Augmented Synthetic Humanoid Assassin’s voice was in everything she did, every touch, every caress, every tense of her body, all of it was alive and human and screamed “Look at me! Please! I’m right here!”

She wanted him to feel her, to see her, and most importantly, hear her. So he listened to what her body was telling him and continued to give it to her, touching her in all the places that made her clench up just right.

Nick had to be more perceptive than ever before. He noticed her fluttering eyes, he paid attention when her teeth clenched, and he could definitely feel it when her nails dug into his back. All those signs were messages from his lover to keep going, letting him know that what he was doing felt magical, and that she wanted more of it.

He wanted to give her more- as much as he could. So he kept going, thrusting inside her and pleasuring her in every way he could think, hoping that whatever he did, it would be enough to get her to that point, that peak that would carry her over the edge, and bring both of them to that ultimate climax that they could share.

“You’re amazing,” he groaned hotly into her ear, bracing his hands against the pillow so he could keep going. “Just a little bit more… almost… almost there…”

His words caused her body to howl, and he wasn’t even sure if he was talking about himself in that moment, or commenting on the nearing of her own orgasm. It felt like he was keenly aware of how close the both of them were, and without a single word Augmented Synthetic Humanoid Assassin let him know the end was in sight.

She clenched up and squeezed her legs tightly around his waist, like she’d done a thousand times already tonight. But somehow Nick knew that this time was different.

“Ung! Fuck!” He moaned, burying himself into the hilt. “Cumming!”

She wrapped her body tightly around him and let out a silent sight of contentment as her own orgasm washed over her. As she surrendered to it she felt him flood inside her, and they collapsed together on the bed in blissful, mutual relief.

Her hug said “I love you” in a voice her lips couldn’t speak.
