“You sure picked a strange design,” Tisha said as she stared at my house. “Why did you make it so long and thin?”

I was grateful that Jade wasn’t around to crack one of her jokes at Tisha’s comment. My lovely imp was off fetching the chameleon paint from the stage coach.

“I’ll tell you when Jade gets back,” I said, glancing quickly at the RV. Evelyn had gone down for the day. We’d parked the RV well away from my house so that all the sounds of construction wouldn’t wake her. I could see Jade coming back from the stage coach that we’d left nearby though. The sexy little imp was hauling four huge buckets of what looked like capped paint. That kind of load probably would’ve been extremely difficult for any human to carry, but she made it look easy.

I had to keep reminding myself that her and Evelyn were a lot stronger than they looked. Maybe even Tisha too, since she was an elf. It made me feel better about my fears of going too hard in the sack with my giant barbarian body.

What a problem to have.

I chuckled and Tisha looked over at me, but I waved it off and watched Jade set down the huge buckets and flap over to us. The sun was low over the mountains to the east, and there was a chill in the morning air. In spite of that I was wearing just a pair of leather pants and some boots, going completely shirtless to see if I could get Tisha’s motor running. My sex charm and amplifum amulets dangled from my neck. The two powerful items were constantly with me. I’d spotted her ogling my body when she thought I wasn’t looking.

So far so good.

“What in the heck did you want these for, Luis?” Jade asked. “Are we really going to make your house invisible? Why?”

I looked over at the odd construction I’d been putting together ever since we’d won the battle of Clontikus. The house was long and thin. I’d tried to fashion it almost like a submarine. For now, every part of it was metal—which was great for my powers, but not for insulation. Hopefully Tisha could help with that. The long narrow structure was twice as long as the RV and just about as wide. Huge stacks of steel sheeting were organized in the dirt nearby. Each of them five inches thick and of varying lengths and widths.

I waved a hand with a flourish and called a metal platform over to us. I selected one that was wide enough to fit us, but narrow enough so that the girls would need to hold onto me.

Nothing like a bit of proximity to get things going.

Tisha gasped as I settled the platform down in front of us, shaking her head in disbelief. “After you,” I said with a little bow. The plump little elf stepped onto the platform hesitantly and Jade took the other side. I stepped in between them and put my arm around Jade, letting my other one rest behind the small of Tisha’s back. Not quite putting it in place. “Hold on,” I said.

Then I lifted the platform, noting that I’d recovered enough to do it without having to worry about the weightlessness spell. My powers seemed to be growing stronger with each passing day, and I almost felt fully recovered from the taxing battle the day before. As we lifted up off the ground Tisha leaned into me and put her arm around my waist. The warmth of her skin was pleasant against mine.

I looked down at her and said, “Don’t worry. I do this all the time.”

She nodded up at me, clearly nervous. Her blue eyes were warm and inviting, and even though she was a bit on the plump side, she had a delicate and shapely chin. Her nose was small and curved softly at the point, with lips that were thin and red in the morning air. Even as nervous as she was, Tisha managed a tiny tight smile, whitening her lips as they pressed together. She had a soft and warm energy about her, like a cloud that you wanted to just fall into.

Tisha was wearing a surprisingly clean pair of overalls with a white cotton top beneath. They were pretty loose fitting, and I wasn’t sure if that was a conscious choice on her part. It had the effect of letting me see far enough down her full soft breasts that I could almost see her nipples. She had a hell of an ass too, and I couldn’t help but check it out as the platform rose.

It wasn’t the only thing that was rising.

I coughed and willed myself to relax. Once again grateful for the responsiveness that my shapeshifting body afforded me.

After a moment I realized that I’d taken us a lot higher than I’d intended, as distracted as I was. So I lowered us down until we had a full view of the home I’d constructed.

“Okay, so here we have it,” I said, pointing at the end of the building closest to us. I’d built it the largest, and left it empty, along with a few more spare compartments just in case we needed extra utility. The whole structure was about 150 feet long. It’d felt overly ambitious when I started, but I decided to commit to it. Every inch of it was gunmetal gray and featureless. For now it didn’t even have windows.

“Is anybody else thinking it? Or am I going to be the one that have to say it?” Jade asked. There was a hint of humor in her voice.

I raised my right hand to my forehead in mock despair, already knowing where this was headed. “Go ahead. Get it out of your system. We’ve got a lot of work to do.”

“Your house looks like a gigantic metal dildo, Luis,” Jade said. To my surprise Tisha broke out into peals of uncontrolled laughter. I wasn’t sure if I’d heard her laugh before at all. It was a pleasant soft laugh that came straight from the heart. Warm and unhindered. She squeezed her arm around my waist. I brought my own down around on her hip, smiling.

“Yes. I suppose that is exactly what it looks like. But I have a specific reason I built it like that,” I said.

“Because you’re going to fuck a gigantic cave troll with it?” Jade said, a giggle bubbling up within her. Unable to help herself. I emitted another groan, pretending not to enjoy her over-the-top jokes.

“Not quite. Though that sounds like a hell of a time. I want to create a flying machine of my own. Using this as the foundation,” I said, pointing at my long narrow lodging. “It’s ambitious, I know. It’s necessary though. I want us to be able to strike at Lord Manageer’s forces and play shows. If we keep moving around on the ground, we’re going to get cornered eventually. If we can get this thing in the air, and camouflage it with Jade’s chameleon paint, then we can strike anywhere without being tracked.”

I stopped suddenly, making a realization. “And I'm sick of calling him Lord Manageer. Fuck that guy. Let's come up with our own nickname for him,” I said, turning to Jade and expecting her quick wit. “What do you think, Jade?” I’d also been wanting to come up with some nicknames for the girls, but I didn’t want to force things. It’d be fun to develop some naturally though.

“Uhh…” Jade said, stalling out for once. “I can’t believe I didn’t think of that. I’m actually stumped. Let me brew on that.”

“All right,” I said. “I’m gonna call him Buzzkillington for now. It’s not exactly as dire as he deserves, but I don’t think he deserves much anyhow. Maybe BK for short. If we keep flying around and launching attacks and playing shows, he won’t know where to retaliate. That should hopefully spare any more towns the treatment we got today. The stealth ship will also be what lets us steal an airship.” I could feel the pair of them nodding along, understanding my plan. Tisha’s arm tightened around my waist, and she brought her other one across my bare abs, gripping me in a hug.

“That sounds just swell,” she said. I thought she was being sarcastic at first, but a quick look showed she was being sincere.

“So. Here’s what we’ve got right now,” I said, pointing my finger at the back of the long metal tube—which, to Jade’s credit, did actually look like a giant metal dildo. “That’s the engine room. It’s empty right now. I’ve left a lot of space empty since I didn’t know exactly what we’d need.” I moved my hand forward across the boxy roof, trying to find the approximate spaces that were occupied. “Fuel storage and furnace. Then on through to the temperature control.” I looked down at Tisha. “It’s all metal right now. I was hoping you could help us with circulating steam to help heat and cool things down.”

“Oh, absolutely. With a hot enough engine you could heat up the ship at night, or cool it down in the day,” she said. I saw her blue eyes flicking up and down the edges of the big metal rod. Calculating.

“Luis, do you think you could help lay the pipe with Tisha?” Jade piped in, leaving her voice flat and level. Completely innocent.

I passed my laughing off as a coughing fit and said, “Only if she’s interested!”

“That sounds great, Luis,” Tisha said, completely oblivious. “Pipe laying can be pretty hard on the body. On your grip too, you know. Helps to have a partner and some steady hands.”

Instead of a roar of laughter, a low soft satisfied chuckle came out of Jade’s mouth. Tisha didn’t seem to understand what she was playing into. The two of them would make quite a pair. I looked down and saw Jade checking out Tisha’s body, and the blonde mechanic even looked back at Jade’s flat belly. The two of them locked eyes and then looked up at me to avoid their embarrassment.

Quite the pair, indeed.

“Moving on up the line,” I said, giving Tisha full eye contact and a squeeze. Letting my hand roam a few inches up and down. “We’ve got a few utility rooms for storage and everything. Then there,” I said, pointing at the only bulging section nearly at the midpoint. “The bedrooms. One big one for myself, and a few spare quarters in case anyone wants any privacy.” I’d built the bedroom gigantic on purpose.

My harem was two-deep at the moment, but I was getting the feeling it would be expanding. Things were already tight in Evelyn’s RV. I wanted to lie out in luxury like a king surrounded by my ladies. The idea of waking up naked in a fucking stealth jet surrounded by my naked lovers was so enticing that I could actually feel my magic growing stronger in that very moment.

There’d be a few small beds in offshoots, just so that Evelyn and anyone else who wanted their own place could be comfortable of course. I couldn’t expect every woman in the Shimmerlands to be bisexual.

“Past the bedrooms is a living space, which I thought we could use as a gym… or a play space.” I let that word linger for a moment. Thinking that we could fill it with stuff to fool around on. Given how virile my body was, it made sense to have a room besides the bedroom to get frisky in.

Otherwise I might break the bed entirely.

Hell, I’d already broken one.

Though I didn’t know exactly what I’d fill the sex-romp room with at the moment.

I continued along, “Then there’s a living room, the kitchen, another utility space, and the bridge. I guess the kitchen would be a galley then?” I hovered us forward toward what I thought of as the front of the ship. The pair of ladies gripped me tighter as we moved.

When we reached the front of the ship, I turned us slowly and pointed at the tapered nose I’d made, which mostly looked like a kitchen nook from the inside. Then I pointed with my fingers still wrapped around the two of them, aiming at the flanking edges of structure. “I was thinking we’d weld on wings, too,” I said.

“Wings?” Jade asked, twitching her own. “That sounds complicated.”

“Oh, no. Not like yours. You guys don’t have planes in this dimension? Jets?” I asked. Tisha tittered out a peal of high laughter at the sound of the question.

“Luis, are you serious with that? Come on. You can’t be from another dimension.” She squeezed me tighter as if she was afraid I’d poof out of existence. I looked over at Jade and let her answer.

“Surely you can tell, Tisha. I can sense your magic. Can’t you feel that Luis is otherworldly?” Jade asked.

Tisha looked up at me and laid her gaze on me. Then she ran her eyes up and down me carefully, bringing her hand to her long blonde hair as she did. “Maybe something?” she asked. “And you can sense my magic? Really?”

“We all sa—” Jade started to say. Ready to out the fact that Tisha had flashed us all her body when she’d escaped from her robot.

“How talented you are with your phasing skills,” I interrupted. “I bet that comes in handy as a mechanic. Can you reach right into an engine with that? Do you have any other tricks?”

“Oh yes. It’s wonderful for my work. I can reach into something and feel what’s wrong. I can also… see through solid objects if I try. Sometimes it just happens when I can’t help myself.” Her eyes lingered on my crotch for a while. As if she was seeing through my leather pants. I willed myself to bulge just barely in my pants and she gasped quietly.

Nice.

The magic wizard dick pays off once again.

“He really is otherworldly,” she whispered. Jade covered her mouth and stifled a laugh. Then she looked up and flashed me a thumbs-up.

“Let’s get started then. Jade, why don’t you get to work on the paint? Lay it on the exterior? I’ll start showing Tisha the ship. She only saw the galley last night. I’d like her to get a lay of the land.”

“I’m sure you’d like her to get a lay,” Jade whispered. Her voice was so low that only I could hear her. “Sure thing, baby,” she said louder, flapping up and pecking my cheek. Then she flew off to fetch the buckets and paintbrushes that I’d asked her to haul out. I lowered the platform toward the door that I’d put in near the bridge. Then I opened it and let Tisha in. She took the tour in complete focused silence.
