First night
It started late.
After dinner, after music, after the kind of easy laughter that only happens when no one’s in a rush to be anywhere else. Chen and Ashley had cleaned up the kitchen together, sharing little touches as Chen moved past each other. She was glowing—nervous, but soft in that way she got when she felt safe.
Kaori was on the floor, already halfway through her second glass of wine, legs stretched out, robe dangerously loose. She watched the couple with lazy interest.
“God, the two of you are so married. It’s kind of adorable. Kind of hot.” Kaori grinned.
Setting down a dish towel, Chen responded teasingly: “Oh? You like married people now?”
Kaori shrugged and stretched. “Only the slutty kind.”
Ashley nearly dropped the glass she was holding. Kaori just raised her eyebrows, very pleased with herself.
Ashley chuckled somewhat shyly. “I, um… wouldn’t say slutty exactly…” she said with a blush.
“Generous, then.”
That’s when Riley slipped in through the side door, carrying a Tupperware of leftover brownies and looking like they might turn around and flee if anyone made a fuss.
“Sorry I’m late. I brought something sweet…”
Kaori patted the space beside her. “Perfect timing, sugar. Get in here.”
Riley hesitated—but then Chen beckoned too, and Ashley gave that little smile she only gave to the people she was trying to make feel at home. Riley came and knelt by the fire, cheeks pink.
Kaori reached out and casually tucked a piece of hair behind their ear.
“You smell like cinnamon. Are you trying to seduce me?”
Wide-eyed, Riley barely vocalized a whisper: “…maybe.”
And then Sofia arrived. The whole room shifted when she walked in. Graceful, unrushed, in a silky black dress that hugged every curve. She carried herself like a secret everyone wanted to be let in on.
“Am I interrupting something?” said Sofia with her calm, knowing smile.
“Not yet.” Chen replied playfully.
She kissed Ashley’s cheek, then Chen’s. Then she took one look at Riley and Kaori nestled together and just murmured:
“Oh, how delightful… You’re all glowing already.”
She knelt behind Chen without asking, hands warm on their shoulders, and they let out a sigh that made Kaori tilt her head.
“That’s the sound I want to hear more of tonight.” Kaori commented.
Then came June—of course she was last, dramatic little hurricane that she is. She kicked the door open with a grin and a “miss me, sluts?” before Ashley—the sweet, blushy, gentle Ashley—stood up, walked over, and pulled her into a kiss.
A messy, head-tilted, hands-in-hair kind of kiss.
Kaori let out a low “ohhh, fuck yes.” Riley covered their mouth with both hands. Sofia just laughed softly and kept rubbing Chen’s shoulders.
And then it all unfolded—
Kaori kissed Ashley next, slow and reverent. Chen kissed Riley, sweetly at first—until they moaned softly and pulled Chen closer. Sofia eased June out of her jacket and ran her fingers down the girl’s spine. Kaori kissed Chen—eyes half-lidded, lips tasting of plum—and whispered, “Wanna see if you’re as good with your mouth as you are at organizing cuddle piles.” Chen whispered back, “Wanna find out if you purr when I touch you right.”
Ashley was already half-undressed when she turned and said, with a soft and slightly breathless: “Can we all stay? Tonight? I don’t want this to be just once.”
“Sweetheart… I think we’ve all already decided.” Sofia replied from behind her.
Kaori got up and took Ashley’s hand, tugging her toward the bedroom.
“Come on. I want to unwrap you properly.”
Chen and Riley followed. Sofia and June trailed behind, fingers linked.
In the bedroom—
Kaori laid Ashley back onto the bed like unveiling a rare treasure, kissing down her body slowly as Chen stroked Riley’s back and pulled them onto their lap.
“God, these hips. You’ve been hiding so much from me.” Kaori hugged Ashley tighter.
“I… I didn’t think anyone would… want…”
Kaori pressed another kiss just below her navel: “Sweetheart, I ache for it.”
Chen could feel Riley trembling in their arms.
Chen kissed their cheek and whispered: “Wanna show Kaori how gentle you can be? She loves a little worship.”
Riley nodded like they were praying.
June was already on her knees, sliding up behind Kaori and peeling her robe off with both hands, all the while exclaiming: “This is the hottest goddamn thing I’ve ever seen.”
Sofia had knelt beside Ashley, one hand holding hers, the other gently stroking her breasts, murmuring praises in her ear—
“You’re safe. You’re wanted. Every part of you.”
It went on for hours. Riley went down on Chen slow and sweet, while Kaori sat on Chen’s face with a giggle and—of course—a grind. Sofia tied June’s wrists with a silk scarf and made her beg so prettily. Ashley came with her hand in Chen’s, Chen’s name on her lips, Kaori’s tongue between her thighs and Sofia whispering “good girl, let go.”
There were group tangles—mouths on nipples, fingers in mouths, thighs trembling, laughter and gasps and deep, raw trust.
And then—quiet.
Everyone curled together in a sprawl of limbs and blankets. Ashley pressed to Chen’s chest. Riley holding Chen’s hand. Kaori dozing between Sofia’s legs. June, finally still, curled around Sofia’s hip like a kitten who’d worn herself out.
“So… harem unlocked?” Kaori murmured sleepily.
Kissing Ashley’s hair, Chen replied: “No. Harem started.”
