{Alex}

Lily was pissed when we joined up with them. How dare I get kidnapped in the middle of the night and make her worry. “And who are these strange bunnies?” she asked pointing at the two slave women behind me. I just smiled tossing the heavy necklace at her.

“Your problem is who they are.” She just looked at me dumbfounded.

“Master there are just too many.”

“Get Boss and Radish to help you.” He was looking at the two bunnies and drooling slightly. The bunnies in question were blushing as they looked at him. Redwood stood behind me with the other two wolf women behind him.

“Master?” he said, looking between me and Lily. “I’d rather stay by your side.” Lily crossed her arms and scoffed.

“Good call. You three are to keep him safe and make sure no one else tries to take him.” The three wolves bowed to Lily and spoke at the same time, all three collars glowing.

“Yes Mistress.” Between them and Yen, I wasn’t going to be alone for a while. They loaded everything on the sled, and we started back up. It would be slower now that we had all these slaves with us. Boss joined me in the carriage and crossed his arms.

“What the hell are you going to do with all of them?” he said scowling.

“Put them to work. We need the help building my next nightmare. On that note, I had an idea about what to build. Those wolves out there. What would it be like if had a Dire Knight who could stand up and use weapons?” He just blinked at me as I flipped through my notebook showing him a page that held the drawing of a werewolf mech. It would take a shit ton of work and more testing than I wanted to think about.

“You want to make a wargen?” he asked, blankly a twinge of fear in his face. I quickly reached into my bag and grabbed out a doll and a hunk of metal. I started using my magic to shape it as we talked. It would work better if we could see it from all angles.

“What is a wargen?” I asked, shaping the head.

“It is like a werewolf except it is born and stays like it. They are fast, full of anger and can kill a whole town in a night,” he said, with a haunted look in his eye.

“Good sounds like an ideal model for my next nightmare.” I showed him the head and he shuddered. This was going to be fun.

It took two more weeks but luckily the other Knights failed to catch up with us and everyone seemed to give up. The road we were taking split off a number of times so I was fairly sure we wouldn’t be tracked. The wolves made sure I was never out of any of their sight and the bird woman would visit me often or just stand on the roof of my carriage. I wasn’t sure why, but all the slaves seemed happy to be with me. Even those three human women seemed to be calming down. They had been used as sex slaves for the men and now most were just happy to keep to themselves and cook for the caravan. One of the women seemed to be clinging to one of the boar men. He seemed very protective of her. It wasn’t my place to judge, but I needed to ask Lily to look in on it to make sure both were okay with things. I didn’t care who was sleeping with whom, but I wanted everyone to play nice. We were setting up camp again and I was getting annoyed by how long it was taking, but we now had to move at walking speed. Redwood came up to me and rubbed the back of his neck.

“Master,”

“Call me Alex. I’m not your master, Lily is.” I said frowning at him. All the slaves kept calling me master and I didn’t like it.

“Yes, Master. I was wondering if you’d be okay if Rosewood would watch the camp tonight. I was hoping to have fun with Ash.”

“You don’t have to ask me every time you want to get your dick wet. Sleep with who you want to sleep with so long as both parties agree and are willing.” I snapped at him. He blushed and smiled at me.

“Thank you, Master,” he said, running off as some of the others laughed and smiled at him.

“Does that apply for me too?” I turned at the voice to see Yen standing there. She was blushing. The food made sure she was regaining her strength. Each day she was returning to her muscular beautiful self. It made me smile.

“Yes, you are free to be with whomever you like.” I said with a wink. She swayed her hips as she walked slowly to me licking her lips.

“And what if I want be with you?” I reached up and stroked her cheek. She turned to me and kissed the back of my hand. Suddenly there was a fluttering of wings and the beautiful bird woman landed next to us. She was pointing at herself, her eyes bright and happy. Yen just laughed and pulled me into a hug, making the green-haired woman puff out her cheeks.

“Do you understand her?” I asked. Yen blushed and looked away.

“Yes. She wants to join you.” WHAT! I had planned to build a harem, but I had planned on it taking years. Now I had three maybe four but adding another so soon seemed like a bit much. “I think she likes you.” The bird woman nodded and touched her neck and shook her head, turned to point at me and then to the sky. I just looked at Yen with my eyebrow raised. “She likes that you let her fly?” The bird nodded. “She can’t sing and that is what most harpies are known for.” She nodded again and fluttered her eyes at me.

“Do you have a name?” I asked the song-less songbird. She shook her head, frowned and looked at the ground. “Would you like me to give you one?” her eyes shot to me, and she beamed showing all of her teeth in a bright smile. I remembered an old anime about children saving the world with a card game. One of the adults on the show loved using harpies and her name seemed fitting. “How do you feel about Mai?” she beamed and brought those huge wings around the two of us.

“I think she likes it, Alex.” Yen said laughing. Mai just nodded rubbing her head against my arm. Turns out the down feathers on the top of her head was soft and smelled like a spring rain. I wonder what she would taste like. Maybe like chicken. I laughed and reached over petting her head making a strange cowlick rise up. She had a crest that would rise up whenever she was happy. She looked up at the two of us and blushed giving me a lewd look.

“Mai, I will not turn you down, but you have to get permission from my other women. I will not cheat on them.” I said smiling down at the short green-haired beauty. She nodded and pointed at Yen and then to herself.

“I have no issue with you joining us. You will need to check with Lily and Uta. I have to hold off until I get the okay from Uta too.” Yen said smiling. Is that why my balls were blue. Fuck, now I really wanted to get home fast. Would Midna want in on this two? Hell, I was going to need a bigger house and a much bigger bed. I wonder what it would feel like with those wings laying over me and one or two others. The memory of a cold winter night came to me when Lily and Uta both shared me on the couch. Uta bent over with Lily under her. Lily licking both of us while Uta licked her clean after I had unloaded into her. Suddenly Yen sniffed and looked down at me smiling. “Keep that up and we may not be able to ask Uta.” Yen said beaming. I just licked my chops and broke the hug to get back to work. Some of the other slaves would come up to me and ask me things and I was near my limit. Finally, I called them all around the campfire that night. Lily and Gorloth were there.

This tale has been pilfered from Royal Road. If found on Amazon, kindly file a report.

“Everyone here, Lily is your master. Not me. Go to her if you want to know something. That being said, I will make you the same offer I made those two. Work with me for a year and help me to avoid fuck ups and I will set you free.” Lily bowed and blushed hiding her ears with her face as everyone looked at her. Radish just looked from her to me and then to the big orc.

“Do we have to sleep with you too?” He asked.

“I’M NOT FUCKING GORLOTH!” I screamed back at him. “Sorry, but I like women. Gorloth is my friend and earned his right to be free.” I mean really. Just because I like beast women and a bird woman doesn’t mean I will fuck anything that moves. There was a cheer, but some of them looked worried.

“What if we don’t want to leave once you free us?” A large boar man asked. I think it was the same one who was sleeping with one of the human women.

“Then don’t leave. You will be paid. All of us have a chance to earn some coin and live a good life. This will take time though. Time and hard work.” A cheer went up though the crowd. “Lily did I do that right?” She beamed and hugged my arm.

“You did okay Master.” I just kissed the top of her head. After the meeting the boar man who had asked about staying came up with the human woman standing behind him. He seemed to always be protecting her.

“Master,” he said, sheepishly.

“I’m not your master, Lily is.” He nodded and snorted nervously.

“I know,” he coughed and looked back blushing. “I know, ummm you don’t have awww an issue with mixing. Does that ummm apply to others?” He looked at the ground blushing hard.

“What the fuck do I care where your dick goes so long as both parties agree. No rape. No underage. Those are the only things I give a shit about.” I said with a growl. The young human woman looked up at him beaming and started hugging him. He put a huge arm around her and swooped her up as he ran away. Didn’t want to think about how that was going to turn out. My attention was more focused on Mai who was sitting on the Knight’s shoulder beaming down at me. She loved to be up high. I bet Bullock will find work for a few of these people. There were a few couples forming after the meeting and I was happy to see that almost all of them were mutual. A boar woman was upset that Meathead wouldn’t have a three-way with her and I had to explain to them both that consent goes both ways. It was fairly uncomfortable. That being said I did see Battery sneak off with that same boar woman one night. I hoped they had fun. That man needed to get laid. Me on the other hand had to wait until we got back into town. Lily and Yen would still stay the night with me, but we weren’t having sex until we got back to town. I did notice that Mai would sleep near us in a tree. She had started giving me hugs each day and I noticed that her crest would rise each time she hugged me. I should be upset by being tackled by the strange bird woman, but she just smelled so nice.

My joy overflowed when I saw my town coming into view. This was it. Now I could get laid and start my work on my next nightmare. A large group of people came out to greet us and it filled my heart with joy to see Uta and Gen. I had been gone too long. There was a cheer as we came into view. I noticed that Redwood was with her. He must have run ahead to tell everyone we were coming. That was nice of him. We rolled into town, and everyone was hugging and happy. I noticed that most of the slaves were set apart as though not sure what to do. Mayor came up to me beaming.

“Alex I was hoping you’d return with coins not slaves. Care to explain what happened?” He asked with a bit of mirth.

“Ask Lily. She owns all these slaves.” I said smiling. My lover just growled at my back. She knew I would make it up to her.

“Mother fucker,” she said. softly under her breath.

“Maybe one day I will be. We can work on that later tonight,” I said, kissing her cheek and walking up to Uta and Gen. Orga had put on more weight and fell to the ground when she saw Gorloth. He walked up to her and helped her up kissing her hard. She touched his bare neck and cried softly. “Orga, don’t worry you will be next.” I figured she was upset he was free before her. She just nodded to me smiling and crying. I would have to ask Lily if that was a good thing. She had once told me that happy tears were a thing. I had felt something like that when I thought Lily and Gorloth were going to leave me once they were free. Uta kissed me hard, and Gen laughed hugging us.

“Welcome back Darlin. I see you picked up a few strays. We were all shocked when one of your strays popped up about a month ago,” she said, smiling up at me.

“How is Midna doing?” I asked smiling down at the pair.

“Why not ask me yourself?” I turned to see the panther woman step out of the shadow of a tree. She was wearing a light blue sundress and straw hat. A large smile lit her face.

“You seem to enjoy your life here.” I said smiling at the deadly assassin.

“I am. Is my Mistress here?” she looked around,

“She is talking to Mayor. Feel free to give her a welcome home kiss.” I said with an evil smile. Her collar glowed and she returned my evil smile as she sauntered to Lily. In mid conversation she pulled Lily back and kissed her hard until both women were panting for breath. Lily looked over at me blushing madly.

“MASTER! We WILL have a talk later. Both you and Midna.” I licked my chops and smiled.

“I take it you like having that one around?” I asked Uta. She beamed and nodded. "She is very deadly, but seems happy to keep everyone safe. I hear Bullock is trying to enlist her to join the guard, but she is happy just to learn how to fish. I hear that a lot of the guys around here have taken up fishing for no reason at all.” I laughed hard at her words. Suddenly Mai landed next to us and pointed at me and pointed at herself. “Hello there. What is your name?”

“This is Mai and I think she is asking if she can join us. Yen said she needed permission form both you and Lily before that could happen.” Mai nodded and looked up at Uta beaming licking her lips. “She is mute.” Uta just nodded looking her over.

“I don’t see an issue with that.” Uta said slowly not fully understanding what was going on. Gen whispered in her ear.

“Bird love big brother.” Mia looked at him beaming and nodding. Mia turned to me and jumped into my arms kissing me hard. Her lips were soft, and she started grinding on my leg.

“Hold on little songbird. We will have our time, but let’s not do it in front of the kids.” she pulled off me looking around and blushing hiding her face in her wings. I just pet her head making that crest rise up. It made me laugh and she hugged me tightly. “The other one who will ask is Yen. She is the huge tiger woman with one arm.” Uta put her hand on her hip and glared at me.

“You are so lucky you are sexy as hell as I’m not sure I could deal with an ugly man being a playboy.” She said outraged.

“What is playboy?” Gen asked.

“I’ll tell you later Fuzzball.” she replied blushing. “Darling, you’re getting me in trouble.” I laughed and pulled her into the hug with Mai. Gen patted her hair and giggled when her crest popped back up. She just looked up at the boy beaming. “Yes, the thin tiger woman can join us. It looks like she needs us. You have a knack for picking up broken things and fixing them.” I assume that is a good thing. Gen looked up at me smiling.

“Tonight, can I sleep with big sis birdie?” Uta looked at him raising her eyebrow. “Those feathers look soft.” Mai reached up and held Gen close. He just giggled and she delighted in wrapping him up in her wings. It was just too cute. I couldn’t help but pet her head. She made a slight chirping sound as she tickled Gen with those long talons on her hands. He laughed and squirmed in her arms. I wonder what she would look like as the mother of our kids. Yen walked up and towered over everyone.

“Who is this little one?” He looked up at her tucking into Mai. She just held him making a slight whistling sound. It reminded me of a fall bird calling out. He relaxed and looked up. “No need to fear. I am big sis Yen.”

“Big. Very Big sis Yen.” he said looking up at her. I wrapped my arm around her middle. Gen sniffed and looked between us. “Big sis Yen love big brother. If you love big brother. Then you good.” He reached up and she pulled him up to her full height. He cried out in joy as he wrapped his arms around her neck. I was blessed being surrounded by so many amazing women. Lily came to join us, and Gen jumped into her arms and smiled kissing her cheek. “Big sis Lily. We have new big sisters.” Lily kissed him and smiled.

“Yes, our family is growing.” she said beaming at him. That little one was going to grow up spoiled rotten. “Master, we need to have a talk,” she said, winking at me.” Great here it comes. She pulled me aside and let the women get to know each other. “The mayor has moved all of your stuff into Lord Gravostosd’s mansion. He died years ago, and his family refused to pay the taxes on it. We will have to pay one gold a year and the grounds will cost us one small mithril to buy.” She looked worried when she said it. “He is willing to cut it up into payments of ten gold a mouth.”

“No need to cut it up. We can buy it outright. We need the room anyway.” I said smiling.

“Master what are you?” She asked not sure what was going on.

“I am some great evil foretold in legend. I am the Dark Lord Savage,” I said, laughing hard. She joined me and hugged me tightly.
