The Fun Box

“Well, with that settled...” Sophia mused.

“Uh-oh...” I sighed.

“Don’t worry, Alex, I won’t jump your bones... yet.” Sophia teased me. “But since we have his permission to continue our solo-stress relief here, can we display the box in the crooked hallway for all that needs it?” She asked the other women.

“The box?” I asked in confusion.

“At least something he didn’t know about...” Kate murmured.

“The box, also affectionately known as the Fun Box, in which all women of this platoon have contributed to, to make sure we had the means to effectively pleasure ourselves.”

I was stunned. “Eh...?”

“It’s a box full of sex toys to bring us our release. You didn’t think we would continue using only our hands, now did you?” Kara grew more confident in talking about sex, I noted.

“As a matter of fact... I had no idea how you... eh... I thought...”

“Oh dear, are in you in for a surprise...” Kylie sighed.

“We all had the same problem during the war, and after we deserted, met the second squad we simply agreed on collecting all the stuff we already had, and continued expanding our collection. For all.” Kara, again.

“It also made sure we didn’t display our needs to you so often. So you wouldn’t feel too pressured.” Kylie smiled.

“Oh... eh... well... Thank you?”

“Of course it didn’t help us a full hundred percent, so we hinted here and there to you we needed your assistance now and then. And you provided the best you could.” Kylie continued.

“Absolutely the best...” Kate murmured again.

“Yes, as Kate just mentioned, you are not seen as a back-up plan, far from it, don’t feel bad or insulted about that all! The Box is the back-up plan. After we had an experience with you, we could replay and relive it in our minds for quite some time, using the tools from the Fun Box. Sometimes we didn’t even need it after a session with you. And in some events, some of us were quite satisfied with their stress levels for a while, isn’t that right, Kate?” Kylie teased Kate.

“So satisfied...” Kate murmured, not even noticing the teasing in Kylie’s voice.

“Okay... but how did you collect all the stuff?”

“There are apparently a lot of areas our love hasn’t the faintest clue about, Kylie.” Sophia interrupted before Kylie could explain.

“I couldn’t overwhelm him with it, now could I?” Kylie stated.

“Consider me a bit overwhelmed, but please continue.”

“Not all women of course, but a lot of us have needs. A lot of western women, plus a fair share of gay people have found solutions and planted them near their bedsides. And they didn’t take them while fleeing...”

“I see... so when we all were looking for extra food or other stuff, you were also looking for... that kind of stuff?”

“We all did. Well, most of us did. Or at least the women I knew, did.” Kylie continued: “But the really special stuff was hard to find without plundering a sex shop, and besides asking around in the wellness hotels there weren’t that many options left. So with your raid...”

“Ah... I was wondering about those manacles...” I said, making Kate, predictably as ever, blush.

“We didn’t plunder the ambush site though, if Ambra or the other abused women would see us using stuff from there... Or even we using that at all...” Kylie shuddered at the thought.

“Ah... very wise of you.” I said, grimacing.

“Alright... then... for my part you can set the box in the tunnel for everyone to use... I have no problems with that. Just make sure we can’t fall over it while we need to cross the tunnel.”

“Of course not... but eh... there are still some matters we need to discuss.” Sophia said.

I was scratching my hair while saying: “There is more?”

“At least it feels nice to talk about it in the open, I like this.” Kara interrupted Sophia.

“Yes, it is... so when I feel the need, and I am sorry to say, but like I said, I have a lot of need... And when there is some activity in the tunnel too... How will you feel when I do it here? In full glory, saying very naughty things, right in front of your eyes?”

“Ah... Eh... I would say, don’t feel embarrassed about it. If I don’t feel like watching, I will just go away. If I feel like watching, I will. And if you don’t like me watching, I would say... eh...”

“Oh... but I wouldn’t feel embarrassed at all with you watching me, or listening to me, it is you I am worried about.”

“Ah... well, as I said, if I am not in the mood to watch, I will go away and check upon the others...”

“Yes, you said that, but it can take quite a while, and be on a lot of different times.”

“Ah... If you don’t mind me asking, how did you handle this before this week started?”

“I would run... a lot... And I had others to take my mind of things... With their worries and problems. The responsibility of command was very good for me on that part. But now...”

I gulped.

“I see... Well, is there a way to do it quiet? I don’t think I will have a problem seeing it all, but the listening to it, I mean... not the sounds it makes... but you talking... naughty... during it... might get on my nerves after a while. I am sorry if I insult you this way, but if you do that all the times, I will feel more pressure, I know that. And you asked how I would feel...” I was trying desperately to get out of the mess I was starting to make.

“Don’t be sorry about it. I am sure we can come to a compromise. It is not only Sophia that might be doing that, and if we all speak our fantasy thoughts out loud, at the same time... let’s say it can disturb the mood not only for Alex here, but for all of us.” Kylie interceded, but thinking about it...

Imagine, Alex, this room full of your loved ones, all in their magnificent glory, trying to get off... Right in front of you, wherever you look...

I gulped. Loudly this time.

Sophia ignored it and conceded: “True, very true. It can be a real mood breaker. Certainly if you can’t hear yourself anymore. Right, then we all agree to keep it as quiet as possible? For all our sakes?”

“Excellent.” Kara said.

All nodded at that. Not me. I was still lost in thoughts.

“Alex?” Kylie asked.

I woke from my daydreaming: “Yes? Sorry, I was gone for a moment.”

Kylie grinned at me, probably figuring out where I was that moment, but simply asked:

“Is that okay for you? We keep it all as quiet as possible?”

“Yes, perfect, thank you, but... eh...”

There is no good way to tell this, Alex, go with it...

“If I watch, and I get aroused, and get in the mood... and since you have your needs... but at the time you are... you are very... eh... busy... Shall I just leave then?”

“No!” Kara, Kate, Kylie and Sophia exclaimed at the same time.

“Trust me, Alex, when I am busy, and you get into the mood, you can ask me anything. Even if your mood is just limited to a hand job, I will help you. Just come to me.” Kylie said.

“Though I would prefer sex or at least giving a blowjob, if you were in that mood...” Sophia added.

“Or anal... I hear from Kylie, it is wonderful and I really want to try...” Kara added.

“Or some roleplay, the kind I like...” Kate added.

“I see... well, that clears things up a lot, thank you. I hope we will scratch that item of our list of problems...” I said trying to sound hopeful.

Hoping to crush it with positivity...

“Not so fast...” Kylie interrupted.

Failing miserably...

“There is still the matter of the other women in our platoon.” Kylie continued mercilessly.

Oh no...

“Yes, true, they have expressed their concerns about it to me too.” Sophia nodded along. “Ever since I was accepted into this circle, the concerns were amplified, and are getting stronger by every moment we have to keep inside.”

“I’m sorry, I don’t understand.” And I didn’t. Not even a bit.

“Aheum... not sure how to put this...” Sophia started, looking at the others for help.

“I warned you, Alex, and I have said this multiple times, even recently, you are a special man, attracting all types of personalities.” Kylie took over from Sophia.

“He does...” Sophia murmured, caught by Kara and Kate, prompting them each to mumble their own version of ‘indeed’.

“If we were free to go where we wanted in the forest, you would barely hear about. But now... here... they will not be able to restrain themselves, I am afraid.”

“Certainly they will not...?” I asked getting suddenly very worried for myself.

“No, they will not try to seduce you aggressively, even Ambra will not do that. They know if they do, they will hurt you. But... wait... do you even know who is developing feelings for you?”

“Well, there is Clara, at least I think, not sure she is still after... she and Sophia tried. Eh... and Ambra, of course... Eh... that’s about it, I think.”

Kara face palmed herself. Kate rolled her eyes. Sophia shook her head lightly. And Kylie sighed heavily.

“They’re not developing feelings for me?” I asked surprised. “Oof, and I was so sure...”

“Cut it, Alex. You’re wrong. It is the exact opposite. Except for Lina, most of them are developing feelings for you. Our youngest one, luckily for her and for you hasn’t expressed a single notion of it, so it seems you are in the clear for that.” Kara disillusioned me.

I sighed of relief upon hearing her last sentence, but then I returned to her first sentences.

Wait... All of the adult girls in the cave?

“Wait, what? No, before you say more, why do you tell me this? Surely the girls... would have liked you had kept this information to yourself.” I started frowning.

“No, Alex. They will be very happy to hear we told you. For the past weeks they have been hinting you, each in their most subtle ways, except for Ambra, that they are hopelessly in love with you, and that they wish to be a love interest by you. But most of the hints you ignored, they told us, but it seems now, you were completely oblivious about it. So, us simply telling you and telling them you know, will make them very happy.” Kylie further disillusioned me.

“Very happy,” Sophia agreed and added: “And it will lessen my burden considerably.”

“Mine too. Hearing all their complaints, worries, questions about tactics to approach Alex... It was getting a bit too much for me. As it was for Kate, but she barely could respond after Alex satisfied her so much, so they diverted their questions to Kara and me instead.”

“At least they were taught very well how to approach Alex, and most importantly how not to approach him.” Kara continued while Kate remained silent for some reason.

I still had to wrap my mind around it:

“So... Clara is still... Fine then... Ambra, I can understand... But... the others?”

“It is for them to explain it to you, but know they each will explain differently in some form or level of detail.” Kate was fully with us again.

“True. Best not to tell me, before they want to tell me.” I agreed.

“That said, with them being locked up in here, with you... may cause frictions...” Sophia tried once more to explain.

“Which kind of frictions?” I frowned. “Jealousy if I somehow give one more attention than the other?”

“No, luckily not. They all know you have your own tempo and preference. They have accepted that. All of them, including Ambra.” Kara trying to put me on my ease.

“But... with tensions rising high in their bodies and mind, some might get passive aggressive, ‘accidently’ tempt you. I already had to warn Clara not to try to release herself while she wasn’t sure you weren’t in close proximity. She admitted she was hoping you were close. But Clara has a strong willful character and may have disregarded my advice.”

I paled at the memory of someone in crooked hallway, getting herself off, while I was there. Imagine if she knew I was there, calling my name in her lust or intentionally, to get me in visible range, then climaxing when she saw me, making me complicit in her orgasm... then telling others...

If it even was Clara...

Then I paled even more.

“I see on your face you can imagine the consequences already.” Kylie said.

“Let’s say I do. How can this be mediated?”

“Well, letting them know you know of their feelings and... urges is a very good first step.” Sophia said.

“A first step?” I was holding my breath.

“Letting them know, since you are aware of their feelings and the complications of this lock-down on their urges, they can look for less private options, in company with others, even at the same time. And practically inform and warn you of the activities inside by for example lighting a candle at the room.” Sophia continued.

“The equivalent of a sock at the door.” I understood the principle.

“Yes, exactly. Should you still need to enter the room and for some unavoidable reason you can’t ask anyone of us, please tell them directly your reason to enter, but be aware the effect you can cause just by entering.” Kylie warned me.

Be warned... Do not enter... Deadly tigers inside...

“Okay... consider me fully warned.”

But Kylie wasn’t done yet:

“Be warned of course they can forget placing that candle. Or the candle can go out for some reason. But after you entered and exited the room quickly they will accept it without feeling hurt. Most of them will perhaps feel some kind of embarrassment or guilt they exposed you, but not in the case of...”

“Ambra.” I sighed heavily.

“Yes, Ambra has accepted my sex-education lessons very well, though I find her fantasies... disturbing.”

“Yes, I can understand perfectly why.” I interrupted Kylie.

“She, on the other hand, will be hurt immensely by you entering and making a quick exit again. She may not notice at the time, but she will remember afterwards.”

I groaned, but I could understand. “How then do I solve that?”

“Like you always do, being afraid to hurt someone and at the same time unable to evade it. Just like you did with me, the first time we had our big conversation in the fox hole.”

“The time I...”

Yes... The time I had let Kylie to give me a blowjob, just to make sure she wouldn’t feel that immense feeling of guilt and gratitude...

I paled again.

“No, Alex, I am not saying you have to let her do whatever she thinks will please you...

I sighed heavily in relief.

... but she can say things that will fuse optimally with her fantasies at that time to get herself off.”

Fuck. Too early.

“But at least stay with her. Silently. If anything she will get off faster, and then you can tell her you love her, but you were mistaken by entering the room and didn’t want to leave too early to hurt her feelings. Do know, Alex, this will not be easy on you, if it happens. If she is in full arousal, she might say or do things, she might regret afterwards. She will not attack you, she is as protective of you as you are for her. But for the sake of her wellness, and even yours, stay with her, and afterwards, talk with her, if you found anything too disturbing at times, or if you need to console her, or anything else.”

I sighed again. But this time in resignation.

“Right, then... I understand. At least I think I understand all. If it is not too much to ask, can I have a moment for myself, while all of you inform the others. I don’t think I will be clearly enough if I do.”

They all smiled at me. Compassionately. They left me in silence for, alone, for quite a few hours. A period of time I spent on mulling over the impact this lock-down would have on my peace of mind, and most of all on the impact it would have on the others.
