The Pirate and The Wish, Part 5: And Then There Were a Dozen

Alex

The past few months have been weirdly the best of Alex’s life. Her fiancé Scarlet has opened a spa that is also trains monk in her order in the art of massage. Alex has been working as a hostess there and she is surprised how happy she is doing it, really enjoying her conversations with the customers. They have such interesting stories. She’s picking up bits and pieces of Elvish and Sylvan, too, mapping etymology of words between the two languages as she goes. It seems that Elvish is a modern dialect of Sylvan, so distantly separated by time and cultural developments that they seem unrelated, kind of like American English versus Middle English.

Mr. Smythe is also being super supportive, even if he is still very busy. Foundations have been set for the new wings to the castle, as most of the construction for the town has been completed. He makes sure Mrs. Smythe and Alex are taken care of. Mrs. Smythe has become a bit of a hermit, as she doesn’t want to deal with the outside world. Still, they let Alex stay with them in a small guest suite at the castle and treat her like a daughter.

Harper spends most of the day being a princess and several hours every evening doing magic stuff in the new construction, making construction materials out of nothing, installing anti-scrying fields, things like that, before retiring for the night. Alex has joined in with some of Scarlet’s “dates” with the sea elf (or, at least the parts of the date before they head to the bedroom). The sea elf is even more serious than Scarlet. Alex likes helping the serious types have fun. And, when those two cut loose, they are a lot of fun together.

Alex also found a kindred spirit with Daphne. The mermaid is great and she speaks Dolphin! Alex never realized how absolutely filthy dolphins are; seriously, translating Dolphin into English involves every third or so word to be obscene. After a few conversations trying to parse dolphin, Alex firmly renounces liking the sea mammals; she even took a trip to a tattoo parlor at the docks to add a megalodon swallowing the dolphin tattoo whole on her ankle. Daphne volunteered to model for the megalodon, which made the tattoo artist (a sea elf) flip her lid. Apparently, Polymorph is a legendary spell.

A lot of the others in the harem polycule thing are nice, too. Josie got to be a pretty good gym instructor. Tina is a fun workout buddy (once they worked out that Tina is slightly bigger in the chest department), as they are both similarly out of shape. Skye is such a sweetheart, making sure that Mrs. Smythe has everything she needs. Mattie taught Alex how to play Leylines (and how to shoot); half the polycule has semi-regular DDH game nights and Alex enjoys it. She can at least get along with the others.

So, when the pattern of the date schedule is broken for a “special event”, Alex is pleasantly surprised to be invited to it. After a nice dinner with the Smythes, she sits and waits for it to begin.

Airika

The past few months have been... interesting. A tale of three princesses.

Her relationship with the prim and proper prude Aelene has settled into an uneasy detente, eventually. Airika never exactly apologizes for her past and Aelene never exactly apologizes for the siren’s present. They avoid antagonizing each other as best as they can, which is sometimes not enough. Still, Airika tries.

Her relationship with the sweet Skye is much warmer. She talks of The Lady a bunch and she works Airika hard, but she also makes sure that Airika is taken care of. When Aelene first threw Airika to the wolves of the court, she was in just chains and slept in a dingy cell. Once Skye started supervising, Airika was given a small, comfortable private room (with a small wardrobe sneakily stocked with some clothes by Harper) and regular home cooked meals; the drow takes care of Airika, just as she had healing her while she was dying in the harpy meat pit.

Harper is more complicated. It is obvious that Harper wants her and not just for her body. She asks the siren about naval tactics, sailing, port management, and numerous other things. The idea that a Crown Princess would take interest in what a pirate has to say, even one as incredibly sexy as Airika, is astonishing. The problem is that the sea elf is just so busy. She is dealing with court matters a solid 8-10 hours, putting in a couple of hours of construction, and then another 8ish hours of harem management. When Harper is around, she is present, but with so many girls vying for her attention, it’s hard to get a piece of her. The sea elf tries to give her time, but won’t commit all the way.

The others are generally fun. Mattie is a hoot, even with the terrible nicknames (Harper explained “Polly” eventually); the astral elf even will take the blame if the two of them pulled a particularly bad prank. Nyadia is a good sparring partner, even if she’s trying to convert Airika, too. Tina (who is super fun to tease, with her fear of birds) and Josie are a fun couple that Airika wants to join in on (like she regularly sees Nyadia, Mattie, Scarlet, Glitterdust, and Daphne do) every once in a while. Honey is odd, but Airika feels indebted to her almost as much as she does to the nicer elves that saved her from the harpies; the nehtaliante regularly will talk the princess down from persecuting the pirate.

The night before the queen’s reprieve will end, the harem is holding a meeting. Airika sits beside the human hanger-on, waiting to be called in. She wants a piece of that impossible princess. She hopes she has done enough to get it.

Harper

Everyone is here, around the dining room table. The harem tries to have a big family meeting at least once a week and tonight Harper insisted on it. They have a time limit for one of the agenda items (not that she likes to think of people as agenda items). Skye made a nice roast dinner for everyone and her companions are eating, chatting, having a good time. Harper hopes she doesn’t cause too much grief.

Harper opens up the meeting proper with a question for her lawyer, “So, Honey, did Mother change her mind about Airika yet?” Aelene stiffens at the question.

“No, Mate, the queen is adamant. Either Airika is bound by the hotel’s magic as you have promised or she is to be executed in the morning.”

Most of the table is shocked; even Tina got over her bird fear enough to like the former pirate queen. Honey’s antennae twitch as she reads the emotions running in the room. Scarlet speaks first, “That’s why they are both waiting outside?”

“I wanted to handle both potential new members at once, if none of you mind.”

Harper is a little surprised by where the first objection comes from. “Love, are you sure you want to add both of them? I understand wanting to save Airika’s life, but Alex too?”

“C’mon, Scarlet, you know she wants in super bad. And our Beloved likes her.”

“Daph, I’m just worried that Harper is already spread too thin.”

That warrants a response. Harper stands and wraps her oread up in her arms. “I know that I’ve been too busy. I’m learning how to run a country and it’s a lot. But, all of your happinesses come first. I know Alex joining will make you happy, Scarlet, because it will make her happy. So, don’t worry about my stresses. I’ll be able to take things easier when the princess lessons are over. Any other objections before we bring them in to talk about this?”

Aelene looks like she wants to object, but bides her tongue. Need to watch out for her. Scarlet sighs in Harper’s arms, “I understand, love, but I want you to remember that we need you alive and well; if you work yourself to ****, it’s bad for all of us. If you can truly handle adding both of them, I am all for it.”

Looks like Daphne is ready to get this going, as she is at the door, saying, “Come on in, you two.”

Airika struts in but Alex is a little taken aback. The family rule about nudity in the harem’s castle space may be a little surprising. The human figuratively drools a little. Airika speaks first, “So, should we get naked, too?” Alex blushes, which surprises Harper.

“Not necessary for now. Have a seat, both of you.”

Airika and Alex both take a seat, the former in an empty seat between Harper and Skye, the later between Harper and Scarlet. Harper explains the purpose of this little meeting to the newcomers. The conversation is intense, precisely because Harper wants it to be intense; either of them joining adds to her obligations and cannot be undone. While she knew how much Alex wanted to join in, Harper is surprised at how hard the human argues for inclusion. Airika argues for herself as expected, a little cocky, trying her best to hide how scared she is that she will fail. Votes are held; Alex is unanimously voted in and Aelene is the only one to object to Airika.

“Ok, Aelene, what do you need to hear to allow Airika to join?” Harper gives Aelene her attention. I want this out in the open.

Airika answers before Aelene could, “Look, Princess, I am not going to go out and pirate again. I’d much rather do so by getting to bang Harper than by getting my head hacked off. And, before you object, I actually want to bang Harper. I’m not just trying to live; if I were just wanting that, I would have ran away as soon as you left Teleptafelya and found an anti-magic field to live under while the feather Harper took off of me could still be used to teleport to me. I would not have tolerated all the bullshit you lot put me through.”

Harper sees Skye get a little offended. The sea elf decides to speak, to take the blame on herself, “Sorry if I was too harsh on you then.”

Airika sees she may have been a little too blunt. “Harper, we’re cool. And you too, Skye.”

Aelene finally speaks, “I just do not want to share my betrothed with an unrepentant criminal. It takes more than just a promise not to commit more evil to satisfy me.”

“And I mean to give Airika plenty of chances to make up for her crimes. The seafaring trade routes between us and other allied cities need patrolling. I intend to make a navy to better protect our merchant vessels. Who better than a former pirate queen to develop methods to counteract piracy?”

“Plus, I’m hot and Harper wants to fuck me.” Airika adds. Half the table laughs at that. Harper feels herself blushing a little. Aelene gives Harper a look that says: Against my better judgment, I’m trusting you here. Harper nods back.

Josie, who has been pretty quiet so far, saunters over to Harper. “Old lady, I assume I have permission for this, right?”

Harper kisses Josie, hard and deep, then pulls the nude wolf-girl into her lap. “Yeah. You do.”

“Alex, Airika, wanna help me show the old lady a good time?”

“Fuck yeah.”

“Yes, please.”

Then, the three of them are away.

Josie

Josie is waiting by the “Mistress bedroom” for the trio to return, feeling antsy. She figured out the score of how her transformation works by the time Honey was added. First, the girl is roped in, then Harper has to write transformations. After they are applied, everyone is brought back.

Still, it is Josie’s night on the schedule and she hasn’t had a hit of Harper since Tina’s night 4 days ago. Josie is jonesing for a mutual taste. She likes the two new girls but is still mildly annoyed that that is two more people she has to share Harper with.

So, when the trio returns, Josie starts to pull Harper to her bed. The sea elf grabs Josie’s arm and tugs back, not hard enough to stop Josie, but hard enough to make her think about what she’s doing. “We can do that in a few minutes. Give them a bit of time to adjust, Josie.”

Airika doesn’t look all that different, other than being naked. Josie growls as yet a third girl in the harem has a collar, this one jewel encrusted gold with a heavy gold ring on the front. Airika holds up her hands, singing, “Josie, not my choice. Transformation. The naughtier I am, the more bondage gear is magically equipped to me. The collar is the base item. I mean, I’m rocking it, of course, but you rock yours.”

Alex starts finger picking some riffs on what sounds like an electrical guitar. That draws Josie’s attention to Scarlet’s fiancé. The girl looks different. She’s wearing make-up, which she hasn’t before, heavy mascara, smokey eyes and dark red lips. Her hair is darker, shinier, with those platinum blonde streaks shining brighter. The guitar sounds are coming out of a great axe, which she’s holding as if it were an axe of a different sort. Large black feathered wings erupt out of her back. Still jamming, she asks, “Hey, Mistress, do I have time to show off my new look to Scar?”

“Please don’t call me that, Alex, but sure?”

With a giggle and a “B-R-B!”, she sashays away. Josie wolf-whistles loud enough for the punk girl to hear, then asks, “So, what’s the damage?”

“In brief, Alex is getting to live her heavy metal cover fantasy. She got a permanent goth make-up/dye job, turned into a valkyrie, some proficiencies and a magic greataxe via Ragnarocker, and a cunning linguist pun transformation neither of us could resist. Airika got the aforementioned bondage transformation, a transformation that makes her singing voice more arousing, at the expense of requiring her to only sing when she’s horny...”

“Which is totally going to cause feedback loop problems, Harper,” Airika sings with a teasing lilt.

Rolling her eyes a little, Harper tries to continue, “...a tickling fetish thing that she wanted...”

“Hey, I’ve had enough of you unfeathered girls complain about my feathers teasing when I get to work that I wanted to just make it enjoyable,” the siren again teases with song. Josie feels herself start to get moist down there. Okay, the song thing is starting to work on me.

“...and finally, some innate spellcasting via song that expend clothing like Tina had week 1.” Harper then moves to hold Airika’s collar ring, smiling, “Any snark with that one, my little birdie?”

“None, my Mistress.” Airika sticks her tongue out. Harper rolls her eyes again.

“You like playing the brat, don’t you?”

“Playing?” Airika nuzzles some of her head feathers into Harper’s neck and the sea elf goes cross-eyed for a moment. Then a golden gag appears in Airika’s mouth and the siren pouts.

“Josie, be a dear and fetch Alex. We need to get these two their time with me, too.” Then Harper drags the gagged siren into her bedroom chambers. Josie jogs her way over to Scarlet’s room, guessing that’s where Alex would be. The sound of electric guitar **** metal leads Josie to an impromptu concert from the valkyrie with Scarlet trying to once again teach Daphne how to dance (this time, it’s mosh pit dancing, which might be a style Daphne could learn).

Alex sees Josie come in, then says, “Threesome tomorrow night, Scar and Daph?” Without waiting for an answer, the punk metal girl pockets her new toy into her new inventory and saunters over to Josie. “I have a new girlfriend or two or three to please tonight. See ya!”

When the two return to Harper, Airika is already face down on the mattress, shaking her fine ass at the two of them. Harper notes, “A moment. Let me get Telepathic Bond up.”

A cast later, and Josie hears Airika groan in her head, “But it’s hotter when they don’t think I consented to this.”

Harper telepathically retorts, “Don’t care. I think it’s hotter when they know you want this.” The slap to the spot right below the bird’s tail feathers sounds like it would hurt. Airika grunts into her gag. Alex, retracting those wings into somewhere, leads Josie to the bed.

“C’mon, Josie. We can’t let them have all of the fun.”

Alex dives into bed and starts to lick along Airika’s bird nest. The former pirate wiggles her butt, asking for another spank. Harper delivers, then mentally asks Josie, “How would you like to start? Tonight is supposed to be your night.”

Josie doesn’t answer; she just approaches Harper from behind. Nibbling at the sea elf’s ear, she plunges a couple of fingers in Harper’s sea cave. Harper groans in pleasure, then gives the bratty bird another swat. Airika moans into the gag, lost between Harper’s hand and Alex’s tongue. A couple more swats, and the parrot squawks as she cums all over Alex’s face. Harper humps into Josie’s hand, breathing heavily. Alex slips out from under Airika and gives Harper a kiss.

As they make out, they telepathically talk to the group, though Airika has not quite recovered from her orgasm. “Key Lime Pie. I approve.”

“Yeah, Harp, I hoped the cunning linguist transformation would give me the pussy taster effect and it did. I wonder what you taste like?”

“Dunno. Hard to taste yourself.”

Okay, it is a little unfair how composed the old lady is now. Time for the big guns. Josie summons her bloodlust, growing her tongue and splitting it into three. With a big, wolfy grin, Josie mentally barks out, “You three, line up on the bed. Now.”

Harper waggles her eyebrows and presents her crotch while lifting up Airika, who is slowly coming back to reality. Alex squees and hops on the other side of the bird. Josie lavishes each of them with a tongue tendril, drawing out little moans and gasps from each of them. Alex tastes like fruitcake. Airika like key lime pie. And Harper is still indescribably good. And when Harper starts bucking against Josie’s tongue, squeezing so tightly with her walls on it, Josie nearly cums herself. Then, she feels some fingers teasing her, but can’t see anything. Huh? Fuck, they feel good, but what?

The fingers curl and hit Josie’s special spots. Her tongue hits the same spots inside the trio on the bed. It’s a race to see who’s going to cum first. The way those fingers inside her feel, Josie thinks she’s going to lose. The trio are all bucking against her tongue now, trying to get those tendrils in deeper. The fingers inside her have a third join them. Josie howls as she cums, vibrating her tongue into the trio. They fall apart soon thereafter. The hand dissipates.

Retracting her tongue and merging it back together when she returns to the land of the living, Josie grumbles, “Okay, who has the magic hand spell?”

“You’re welcome,” Harper answers. Josie feels her obligations have been met for the moment. The sea elf continues, “Good girl taking that tongue lashing, Airika. Now it’s your turn to eat me out. Alex, wanna ride my face or my fingers?”

“Face, Harp. When I got a choice, I’ll always choose face.”

Harper lies on her back and beckons the new girls to take their positions. Harper starts to lap along Alex’s labia, who is already gasping, “Ooooh, I am waaaay too sensitive for this right now. More!”

Airika, whose gag disappeared as soon as the old lady called her a “good girl,” wiggles her tail feathers and starts to dig in, nuzzling her feathers along Harper’s inner thighs as she goes. Harper wiggles her fingers, silently offering Josie a ride. Josie hops on. Wonder how many more rounds the old lady has in her. She needs at least two, if she’s getting all of us covered tonight.

They end up going three more rounds before everyone is thoroughly satisfied.
