Juicy Secrets Forbidden Tales of Lesbian Love

By Nuit du Loup

Ally awoke to muted morning sunlight that bled through a blinds covered window. Her return to wakefulness was slow and confused. She still felt a little groggy and when she opened her eyes they felt slightly uncomfortable. Then she remembered why, it had to be the dried remainders of her tears from the night before. All of it came at her with a jolt because not more than six inches from her face, was Aina’s smiling one.

Aina’s eyes, filled with warmth and happiness, were looking right at her. And her expression was one of caring too. After her mind had caught back up Ally stared back at Aina. After just a minute or so, she realized that she loved Aina’s emotion filled eyes. They spoke so much about what she was feeling at the moment and the care and concern she saw filled her with a warm feeling deep inside. That warmth shoved aside the sad feelings that were already trying to resurface.

Ally then became more aware of her body and situation. She had warm arms wrapped around her from behind and calm, sleeping breath brushed the back of her neck. It had to be Janet or Krista, for she vaguely remembered falling asleep crying in their arms. It felt wonderful and comforting.

But what was also very nice was the feeling she was getting from having her front touching lightly against Aina. Just having Aina touch her in any way set her at ease and made her feel like her troubles weren’t that bad. She knew she should be breaking back into tears again, but her close proximity to Aina made her feel calm. And the touch of her bare skin, for she knew that she was still very naked, on Aina’s equally naked body felt amazing.

She felt a small hand trailing up the arm that wasn’t against the bed. It stroked up and down that arm softly. It was a soothing feeling. Then Aina’s face moved even closer until they were almost nose to nose. They stared intently into each others eyes and Ally felt something pleasant tingle between her legs. Then Aina’s hand slid all the way up and stopped on her cheek. Ally instinctively nuzzled her face into that hand and saw Aina’s smile widen a little.

“How are you feeling?” Aina said in a gentle whisper.

Ally had to actually think about that question for a moment. She could still feel a bone deep sorrow for the loss of her parents. It was like a lingering ache that refused to go away. There was a part of her that wanted to brake down in tears again and cry until she couldn’t think anymore. But she didn’t.

Aina’s presence and physical contact was like a soothing balm for her pain. It let her think and reason in a way that would normally have been impossible. That rationality also made her realize that this had to be part of what had been discussed the previous night. That since Aina had made her into what she is now, it had created a bond of some kind between them and that that had to be affecting her thinking.

But Ally actually didn’t mind that at all. This feeling of being connected to someone was simply amazing. It made her feel safe in a way she never had before too. Yes, her parents were both long dead, and she would be saddened by that for a long time, but she had also gained something and she thought she’d only seen the very tip of this iceberg. And it was something for her to hold on to.

“I think I’m okay,” Ally whispered back. “Thank you for last night.”

Something like silent laughter bloomed in Aina’s face and eyes. “Ally, that was the very least I could do to help you.” Ally knew somehow that she was serious about that.

Again they stared for several minutes, but it wasn’t an awkward silence at all. It was more of a feeling out between them. But somehow, Ally found her face moving again this time until her lips came in contact with Aina’s and they shared a very soft, lingering kiss. Ally expected her body to explode with arousal like it had last night, but she felt something different. Aina, she realized, was keeping it tamped down for now. But that was okay, she liked it this way too. She felt a single tear fall and the resurgence of sadness in her mind retreated. When they pulled back Aina’s eyes seemed to glow with an inner happiness.

“I take it from that very pleasant morning kiss that you really don’t have a problem with that kind of thing?” Aina asked softly and intently. “It truly doesn’t bother you?

Ally smiled and blushed a little bit, “Aina I…” she licked her lips as she reorganized her thoughts. “Aina, what you showed me last night and the other two girls as well, was amazing. It was just something that I never contemplated. But it was just as wonderful feeling as you promised it would be. I loved touching you and every single thing you did to me.”

“That’s good to hear,” Aina grinned. “Because you and I are going to be together quite often I think.”

“Why is that?” she asked, still speaking softly to avoid waking the others.

“Because after you fell asleep I made arrangements with your Aunt,” Aina’s smile turned into a softer one. “Since we don’t know the exact frequency at which you’ll have to feed, I’ve arranged with her for you to be here with me at least twice a day for now. Does that bother you?”

Ally felt momentarily overwhelmed. “I’m going to be with you twice a day?” she repeated back in confusion. She hadn’t thought about the practical end results of her change.

“Yeah, I know that it’s a bit pretentious of me to make plans for your life Ally, but I have a responsibility to help care for you. Though,” Aina’s smile returned to the happy one. “I would still do it otherwise. I care about you Ally, and I want to make sure your needs are taken care of. So your Aunt will drop you off here before school and then you’ll come home with me afterwards and hang out. Janet and Krista will be involved too.”

“I don’t mind at all,” Ally said very softly. Another tear fell, this time from the nearly overwhelming happiness filling her up inside. “Thank you so much for being here for me.”

“Ally, as far as I am concerned, you are just as much family to me as Janet and Krista. Over time you may think of me as nothing more than a good friend you have sex with, but to me you’re important.”

Ally laughed softly and laid her forehead against Aina’s. “I doubt I’ll ever think of you as ‘just a friend’, Aina. Am I allowed to love you too?”

“Don’t see why not,” Ally heard joy in Aina’s words. Then Aina gave a low chuckle.

“What?” Ally asked, confused as to what was funny.

“It’s not you,” Aina said, still in good humor. “But Tina and my mom are both awake now.”

“You can feel them?”

“Yeah,and you can see them too if you want,” Aina shrugged. “Try it yourself. Just imagine sending your mind outside your body.”

Ally closed her eyes and tried what Aina said. It took a minute or so and it felt like swimming through gelatin, but she felt her awareness creep outwards. She felt the life and the calm sleepiness of the other two girls in bed with them. Then she went out further and when she reached the kitchen she found them. One was sitting in a chair and the other was straddling her and they were both radiating a kind of heat. Then something tugged on her and she snapped back into her own body.

“Watching is rude,” Aina said with an apologetic smile. “I simply make myself aware of where they are, but I don’t go and watch them. I certainly wouldn’t want them watching me have sex with any of you.”

“They were…in the kitchen?” Ally asked slowly.

“Yes, but I brought their being awake up because when they are done they are going to be hungry and probably a little miffed that they have to wait for us since mom promised to hold off on breakfast until everyone was up.”

Awwww, I really like this,” Ally smiled. “I really enjoyed sleeping in the same bed as all of you. I’ve never been in a bed full of naked girls before, but I could really get used to this.”

“It will probably happen fair frequently from now on,” Aina smiled. “So I think you’ll have plenty of chances to enjoy it again.” Ally felt Aina’s hand travel down her body and a pleasant shiver jolted through her as it slipped between her legs and cupped her pussy, purposely grazing her clit as it did so. “But, right now I think we should wake the other two up and feed. Since you will be staying here with me for a few days, it will give us a chance to see how long you can go without it.”

Ally could feel herself getting very aroused already. The hand between her legs was stroking her lips with one finger. “Okay, so what do you want me to do?” She felt a little confused; she had thought that since they were both already awake, that she would be with Aina again.

Aina grinned and Ally could see that she too was getting turned on. “Just turn around and wake up Krista. You should thank her for holding you so nicely all night. Both Janet and Krista are deep sleepers so you should be able to wake her up very nicely.” Aina must have seen something in her eyes because she continued. “And you are on your own for this Ally. We’ve already talked about what Krista likes and you were going to end up having sex with them anyways, so you may as well do so now. I won’t be helping you because I’m going to be giving my full attention to Janet.”

Ally felt a flush of nervousness run through her. Aina wanted her to wake Krista up by having sex with her? It filled her with something like performance anxiety. But Aina was already moving.

The hand between her legs went away and Aina pushed herself up onto her butt with one arm and looked down at the bed. Behind where Aina had lain was the openly naked body of Janet, who was curled up on her side facing away from them. Aina reached down and Ally felt she was slowly unclasping Krista’s hands. When she felt the arms on her slacken, Aina gestured for her to sit up as well, so she moved forward a little and slowly maneuver herself into a sitting position that had her facing Aina.

She found herself really enjoying the view. Aina had shifted into a kneeling position with her knees apart and this left her entire cute body on display. And from her smile, Ally knew it had been intentional, Aina wanted her to look. So she did and noticed right away that Aina’s small nipples were hard and she could already smell that wonderful sweetness from between Aina’s legs. But Aina gestured silently toward Krista and Ally tuned to her left and looked down.

Krista was simply beautiful. She had that pale skin and flame-red hair that flowed from her head, her body was well proportion and Ally saw again those two mounds where Krista’s breasts were already growing. They were a bit bigger than her small bumps and capped with fairly large looking nipples. Ally thought that when Krista was fully grown, she would be stunning. As it was, she found herself staring.

Before the previous night, she had never given any thought to the bodies of other girls and not even boys really. She simply hadn’t reached that stage where she was interested yet. But now that she was what she was, she found that the naked bodies of these girls to actually be exciting to look upon.

She felt Aina come up behind her and hug her from behind, pressing naked skin to her own. “I never tire of looking at either of them,” Aina whispered softly in her ear. “But do you remember what was said last night about Krista?”

“That she likes to masturbate?” Ally smiled and giggled when Aina gave her a tickling admonishment. “Okay, okay, that she likes kisses?”

“Yep,” Aina responded. “Remember that, but just do things how you like. Just do like you did with me, but go much slower so that she wakes up to feel what you are doing without panicking. She likes things gentle most of the time, but she likes kisses all over.” Ally felt a small nudge. “Now get to it, we can’t be letting them sleep through the entire day.” With that she felt Aina pull away again.

Ally understood what Aina was trying to do. She was trying to get her explore and enjoy the sex she would be having from now on with these girls and she was giving her the opportunity to try and please Krista on her own. And looking at Krista now, laying on her side and breathing calmly, she really did want to thank the girl for being so kind to her the previous night when she had her depression meltdown.

So she leaned down and gently put a hand on Krista’s shoulder, which felt wonderfully warm to the touch, and rolled her slowly onto her back. Krista’s smoothing breathing didn’t change at all. Ally moved over and straddled herself over Krista’s body above her calves. Again she simply looked over Krista’s pretty form for a long couple of seconds and she realized that her mouth was actually watering at the sight.

She reached out with her hands and ran soft fingers over Krista’s slumbering body and marveled at the smoothness of her skin and the warmth. When she trailed over Krista’s small breasts, she felt the big nipples harden almost instantly as if they had been anticipating her touch. She ran her hands over Krista’s arms and legs, getting to know the girl a little better. Then she slowly leaned forward and placed a soft kiss against Krista’s right cheek.

At the touch over her slightly moist lips, a shiver went through Krista’s body. But Ally continued as Aina had suggested, she kissed softly over Krista’s face. She held herself up with one arm and with the other she continued to caress and feel over Krista’s body. She found like the night before, that she really did love the tactile sensation of another girl under her fingers, and Krista was exciting her greatly. She could already smell her own wetness in the air along with Aina’s. But a hint from Krista, a very sweet smell, was joining theirs.

She continued to kiss along Krista’s face and down onto her neck. When she got to a place that was just behind the lobe of Krista’s ear, the girl let out a sound that was like a soft whimper. She soon found other places where Krista was sensitive and made pleased sounds when she kissed there or licked those spots, she made sure to remember each of them. But as she was kissing at spot by Krista jaw that had elicited a moan, she saw Krista’s eyes flicker open, Ally moved up to look at her. Krista was smiling faintly.

“Good morning Ally,” Krista said sleepily.

“Good morning,” Ally returned, and since she was now awake, she leaned in and kissed Krista on her mouth. She was still very inexperience with kissing, but Krista gave a soft moan of pleasure. When Ally tried to disengage again, one of Krista’s hands came up quickly and pulled her back, and she knew that she wouldn’t be inexperienced for very long. They kissed for a very long time, their tongues played together, and throughout it Ally could smell Krista more heavily on the air, though it was joined by another sweet scent she knew had to belong to Janet. This was confirmed when they both heard a loud moan and turned to see Aina passionately making out with Janet.

She continued to watch the pair until a pair of hands tuned her face back downwards.

“Keep your attention here please,” Krista said with a soft smile. “I know they are exciting to watch Ally, but you are already with me. And by the way, that was a very nice way to wake up.”

“Thanks,” Ally smiled back. “But Aina was the one who suggested it.”

“I know,” Krista laughed lightly. “But you were the one who did it so well.”

Ally felt a hot flush of arousal and pride that Krista had really enjoyed what she was doing. She leaned back in and recaptured Krista’s equally eager lips. In doing so she had slid forward and she found her own pussy pressing down firmly against Krista’s and they both arched their hips into each other.

As they made out they unconsciously started hunching their hips, thrusting sensitive clits and lower lips together in a most pleasurable way. Ally could feel a profuse wetness down there and Krista’s scent was growing very heavy on the air. But they didn’t stop, their kisses deepened to the point that each was almost gasping for oxygen at the end of each one and Ally’s hands were caressing all over Krista’s body.

Their hips began to move faster and faster. Their breathing grew ragged and harsh, but their lips remained together. Ally felt amazing, so much so that she could hardly think anymore. And all she could think about was making this feel even better for both of them.

Suddenly Krista jerked in her arms and seemed to quiver in place. Ally continued thrusting her hips and she felt a great amount of wetness coating her legs and Krista’s arousal smell was overwhelming everything. And in that heavy fog, her pussy exploded.

At least that was what she thought happened at first. It made her whole body shake in a gasping mess and she could only vaguely hear Krista doing the same beneath her. Her arms suddenly had about as much strength as a wet noodle and she collapsed onto Krista kissing all her over as she did so. Eventually Krista regained enough thought to grab her head and kiss her hard on the mouth. Then the moment passed and they both went slack, with Ally laying her head onto Krista’s left breast.

“Heh, I don’t think I’ve done that before,” Krista said softly, after a moment. “But that felt amazing Ally.”

“Same here,” Ally smiled.

Then they both heard more passionate moaning and they turned their heads toward Janet and Aina. They found that the two were facing opposite directions with Aina still on top of Janet. Both had their heads buried between the other’s legs. Ally felt an exited twinge in her own groin at the sight and her arousal started to grow again. She didn’t realize she was doing it, but her hand had slipped between Krista’s legs and she was caressing there with her fingers.

“Would you like to do that with me?” Krista whispered happily in her ear. Ally turned her head back to face Krista and saw an excited smile. Krista wasn’t done yet either. “I wouldn’t mind doing that with you Ally.”

“I would really like that,” Ally answered.

“Good!” Krista grinned. “So get up and kneel over my face towards my legs.”

Ally collected herself mentally and carefully got off of Krista. Then she shuffled around the bed until she had her both knees next to Krista’s head and then with excitement growing inside her, she lifted one up and over. Krista guided it back down on the other side and then she felt small hands caressing her ass.

“Aina was right about you having a nice butt,” Krista giggled from beneath her. Ally blushed when she felt Krista give one firm butt cheek a soft kiss. Then she felt those same fingers on her pussy, spreading her lips open. “So pretty,” Krista said softly.

Her face going absolutely red at the compliments and the touching, Ally lowered herself back down onto Krista until the sparsely haired pussy was in front of her eyes and most importantly, her nose. It and the bed beneath were drenched in Krista’s wonderful smelling fluids. More than she would have though it was possible to produce. She breathed deep several times, enjoying it to the utmost. Then she heard another soft set of giggles from Krista and a quick slurp of a tongue on her pussy that sent a shiver through her.

“You can smell me later Ally,” Krista said in good humor. She gave a wiggle of her hips.

Ally smiled at the other girl’s patience with her, and bent her head forwards. And for the second time in her life she slid her own into the wet pink of another girl’s lower lips. Krista’s fluids coated her tongues instantly and she almost came just from that. She tasted indescribably good. Behind she heard Krista moan appreciatively and then Ally felt that tongue reenter her.

Unlike their first round, this time they both seemed to be in a mood to savor and prolong things. Ally was quickly on a sexual high and all she could think about was what Krista was doing to her and what she was doing to Krista. Even Krista’s quick forays upward to lick over her small asshole didn’t distract it her. It all melted into a wonderful fog of love and sexual fulfillment.

She explored every centimeter of Krista’s vagina and lips with her mouth and tongue. And at Krista’s urging she even slid a finger inside her and felt hot wetness surround her digit. And as her passions rose again she realized something. If even a fraction of the times she spent with these three girls in order to feed as her body now required was this good, then she would eagerly enjoy them.

But then she felt Krista clench onto her invading finger and she knew what was coming. She quickened her fingering and sucked on Krista’s clit harder. Krista’s hips bucked once and Ally got a surprise. She had called her own earlier orgasm an explosion. Krista demonstrated that that had been a pale thing because Ally found her mouth flooded in a deluge of orgasmic fluids and she drank them down as fast as she could. It took a while for Krista’s stream to slow and stop, but the drenching had triggered her own orgasm and she cried out as she too creamed onto Krista’s face.

And neither of them stopped at one. They both continued their licking and other attentions until they both came again. This time they did stop because they were both out of breath and Ally’s face and hair were dripping with Krista’s juices. Ally rolled off of Krista and spent a moment cleaning her face with her hands, licking it all down and enjoying every tiny bit that touched her tongue. When she sat up and looked down at the flushed Krista who lay there smiling and panting, she reached out like Aina had shown her the night before with her new powers and drew all of the rest off of Krista, out of the comforter and off herself until all was clean again and she felt wonderfully full inside.

When that was done Krista reached up an arm and let herself be drawn back down to share some more light kisses.

“I take it that you enjoyed that as much as I did?” Krista asked after a while. Her skin still had a flushed tinge of pink to it.

“Heh, yeah,” Ally smiled back as they were once again face to face, one on top of the other. “I was just glad you were okay with doing it with me Krista.”

“Ally, the four of us are going to be very close from now on,” Krista said with a friendly smile. “And you’re almost adorably cute looking. I was more than happy to do this with you and I’ll be just as happy to do it again.”

They heard a small, polite cough and when they turned in its direction they found Aina sitting back against the wall with Janet’s smiling head in her lap. Ally found it visually odd for the larger girl to be the one in that position. Aina’s small size made her think that she would be the one being held. But no, Aina was sitting there idly stroking fingers through Janet’s braided hair. Aina and Janet were also smiling at them broadly.

“Finally!” Janet laughed when she saw that they had their attention. “I was betting Aina, Ally, that you and Krista were going to keep on going all day long.”

Ally blushed and wanted to hide her face in Krista’s small breasts. “Sorry,” she whispered.

“What are you apologizing for?” Janet giggled, which considering her nakedness, did nice things visually. “I wasn’t criticizing or anything like that.”

“She was just joking,” Aina affirmed. “How was your wake-up call Krista?”

“Wonderful,” Krista smiled. Then she smiled up at Ally. “Ally made it very pleasant.”

“So we saw!” Janet said in tone that still contained laughter. “I’d be jealous except that I’m going to get my own hands on her soon.”

Ally’s blushed deepened and she was filled with pleased embarrassment. She’d never met anyone like these three. They were so loving and willing to take her into their arms, both literally and figuratively. She actually found herself anticipating being with Janet.

“Was there a reason you stopped us from continuing?” Krista asked, still with that pleasant smile.

“Yes,” Aina nodded. “Tina and my mother are finished with their own fun.” They all heard a shower start up somewhere. “We should get to cleaning up too so that the three of you, as well as Tina and my mother, can eat some breakfast.”

“Food does sound really good right now,” Janet sighed. “Though it pains me to have to stop what we’ve had going here.”

“I feel the same,” Krista agreed. Then she smiled apologetically at Ally. “Sorry, but I’m hungry too.”

Ally just shook her head. “You don’t need to apologize; I think I’d like breakfast too.”

“Breakfast it is then!” Aina laughed. “My shower can fit two of us at a time.”

Janet grinned wide and sat up. “I get Ally! It’s my turn with the new girl!”

“Fine, fine,” Aina laughed again and Ally and felt Krista giggling beneath her. Ally also smiled at the easy humor between the girls. It had been a long time since she had shared a bath or a shower, but she was more than happy with this arrangement. “That means you’re with me Krista,” Aina finished.

“Sounds plenty good to me,” Krista agreed.

Ally sat up and back onto her haunches and saw three sets of eyes looking at her appreciatively. It was very strange to be sexually desired and looked at in that manner by these girls, but it wasn’t a bad feeling either. It felt good to be wanted like that. Janet’s eyes were especially curious. Then Janet looked at Aina.

“Can we borrow some clothes Aina?” she asked.

Aina nodded and they both clambered off the bed. Ally and Krista watched as they went to a dresser and began taking out clothes as they conversed softly together. Eventually they had four sets sorted out but Aina turned with a wry look on her face. “Sorry Krista, but I’m so much smaller than you that only a skirt will fit you and my shirts are going to be a bit tight.”

“That’s alright,” Krista answered good naturedly.

“Now, you are coming with me!” Janet said, approaching the bed with her eyes locked on Ally. Ally nodded, smiled, and got off both Krista and the bed. Her legs felt a little stiff from how she’d been sitting, but they loosened as she approached Janet and took the bundle of clothes Janet handed to her. Janet then grabbed her other hand and began to drag her out of the room.

“What if Aina’s mom sees us naked?” Ally asked in surprise since Janet made no move to cover her body.

“Aina’s mom and Tina are both in her mother’s shower,” Janet grinned. “So we can just hop across the hall as we are. Besides, I’m enjoying your naked body Ally.”

Despite her nervousness Ally laughed at that forthright answer.

The bathroom was indeed directly across the hall. It was small, painted a forest green and it had wallpaper runners of leaves running in a border near the ceiling, but it was almost immaculately clean and it had everything it needed. There was a wooden cabinet with a marble countertop with an included sink and a stainless steel faucet. Most of the wall above that was covered by a large mirror that had a six-bulb light fixture above it. A white toilet sat next to that and a naturally stained etagere sat over its tank that contained extra rolls of toilet paper and neatly folded hand towels. The entire back third of the room was the bath/shower unit.

Janet flicked on the lights and fan as they entered and closed the door behind them. “Can you grab a couple towels from the cabinet?” she asked pleasantly as she walked over to the tub and turned its one big temperature knob. She pulled a tab as the water came pouring out and the shower sputtered to life.

Ally opened the cabinet and took out two soft towels from a large stack. She turned around and saw that Janet had plopped herself onto the toilet and began emptying herself. “Sorry,” Janet smiled up at her. “But I really had to go.”

“No problem here, I need to go to,” Ally responded and switched with Janet when she was done. Janet made sure she flushed it before they got into the now warmed up shower.

“This is one of those houses where you never flush the toilet when someone is in the nearby shower,” Janet grinned. “Aina warned me about it.”

When they got into the shower Ally found that Janet was an enthusiastically hands-on kind of girl. Janet’s hands and fingers were absolutely everywhere cleaning her. She wasn’t shy about talking about it either. Janet seemed more than happy to tell her everything she liked about her body. Janet stroked and played with her breasts, tweaking her nipples, slid between her butt and stroked her there. She didn’t think there was a single spot left untouched.

By the time she was done she was heartily embarrassed and quivering against Janet as the girl’s fingers brought her to another strong orgasm. That was how the girl had ended her turn, she pulled Ally back against her and then reached between her legs and stroked Ally off.

“You’re a lot of fun,” Janet laughed, as Ally calmed down from her fourth or maybe fifth orgasm of the morning. “Was it good?”

“Yeah,” Ally said, grinning back when she again stood stable. “Your turn, Janet.”

Ally also really enjoyed washing Janet. There was just something arousing and fun about cleaning another girl like this; especially when Janet encouraged her to slide two fingers into her when she bent over against the wall and to finger her vigorously. And like Krista had earlier, Janet’s small pussy poured out juices when she came and Ally got to enjoy cleaning her legs, ass and pussy again. They were both smiling happily when they got out and toweled each other off and they shared a few soft kisses too.

“I think I’m going to really like having you around Ally,” Janet said as they reached for their clothing. They had nearly identical pairs of black athletic shorts, Janet had a pair of striped blue panties and Ally got purple stripes. Janet pulled on a really short sleeved white shirt with some sort of star logo on it. Hers was a yellow tank top. “I thought it would look cute,” Janet smiled when Ally held it up.

When they re-entered the room, Krista and Aina were both leaning back against the wall talking.

“Your turn!” Janet said cheerily at at them, giving Ally a smirk.

“Why does Ally look a bit more tired than she did before,” Aina asked slyly as she and Krista got off the bed.

“It was the vigorous cleaning job probably,” Janet said with a grin. “I was thorough.”

“So we see,” Krista said with that laugh Ally was getting to like.

She and Aina shared smiles and then they too left the room to take their showers. Ally and Janet sat on the bed. As they did, Ally’s thoughts drifted to how thankful she was that these three were the ones with her and that Aina had been the one to save her. She couldn’t think of anything except her now dead parents that had filled her with so much happiness and warmth. The thought of her parents brought a little of the sadness back and she felt tears starting to well up and she closed her eyes.

But before even the first could slide down her face, Janet reached over and quickly pulled their faces together. Janet’s lips found hers again and fingers stroked her cheeks. After what felt like at least twenty minutes of this she felt someone else sit next to her other side and she instantly knew it was Aina. Her body reacted to the contact and between that and the comforting Janet had been giving her, her mind calmed and stilled again. She also felt Krista moving to sit behind her and run hands on her back.

“Sorry,” she whispered when she finally pulled her lips from Janet’s. Janet gave her a loving smile.

“Ally, you are one of us now,” Janet said with the utmost sincerity. “And your pain is ours to help soothe.”

“If you need to cry, do it,” Krista said just as intently from behind.

“How about some food?” Aina said softly. “That used to always help me feel better. And I heard mom and Tina head back to the kitchen.”

Ally nodded. “I think I’m good now.”

As a group they got back up and headed back out of the room. Ally noted that the tank top Krista was wearing exposed her belly a little as she moved or walked and the material was tight enough to clearly show off her growing breasts and the small bumps of nipples. Krista saw her looking and gave her a smile and a shrug as if to say she knew exactly how she looked in Aina’s clothes.

And as they walked down the hall toward the main rooms of the house, a phone rang.

******

Raina picked up her cell phone as it warbled in an electronic fury of bad music. She had never bothered to purchase anything custom for the thing so she was stuck with the stock ring tones that were guaranteed to annoy you in seconds. But it was effective in getting her to answer the damn thing. She didn’t recognize the incoming number, but she pushed the ‘accept’ button and held it to her ear.

“Hello, Raina Dennet,” she said into the pickup.

“Good morning Ms. Dennet!” said a cheerful female voice. “This is Sandra Woeburn from Woeburn and Julius Real Estate. I was asked to call you by a good friend of mine, Geraldine Maviers. I understand you have a problem I might be able to solve.”

Raina perked up and smiled at Tina who was bringing two cups of steaming coffee from the pot on the counter. “Good morning to you as well,” she responded politely. “And yes, Gerri said she knew someone that might be able to get me out of the situation I’m in. Did she explain it?”

“Yes, she did,” the woman on the other end of the line sounded disgusted. “I can’t understand how people think sometimes. But Gerri was correct; your situation isn’t at all hopeless. In fact there are quite a few opportunities available to you. The company I work for deals in properties that other parties want to rid themselves of or want to sell quickly regardless of profit.”

“Ummm…” that sounded bad.

“I know that you probably think that means all of them are dumps or in terrible areas,” the woman went on as if she was a mind reader. “And no, I’m not a mind reader, Ms. Dennet.” She chuckled. “I’m an empath. But the reality is that most of the homes and other properties we deal in are perfectly normal and serviceable. Some are as you thought, but I’ve already removed them from the list.”

“You already have a list?” Raina said in surprise.

“Yes, this kind of thing is my specialty,” the woman sounded amused. “And I’m very good at my job. From what I understood, you have a good sum set aside, a steady and stable income that is more than enough to pay a mortgage, and a desire to find a home near the school at which your daughter attends. That was plenty for me to work with.”

Raina glanced at Tina who was watching patiently, and mimed writing with a pen. Tina smiled in understanding and retrieved a pad of paper from the nearby landline phone along with a pen. “Does that mean there’s something nearby that qualifies even though my credit is terrible?”

“Ms. Dennet,” she could almost hear the smirk in that. “For all intents, I’m not even looking at your credit, not after I heard what happened. I’m just looking at your actually ability to pay. You’ve worked in an upper income level position for over ten years, you’ve never had a single late payment, and your current financial status is very healthy. Using our own internal credit system, you more than qualify for a number of homes in your vicinity.”

As the woman was coming to the end of what she was saying, the girls, with Aina in the rear with Ally, filed into the kitchen. They were wearing Aina’s clothing with varying degrees of success. Ally had the closest fit, while poor Krista looked to have squeezed into her set. Not that any of that seemed to be bothering the girls. They all looked to be in very good moods, except for Ally whose smile was a bit smaller than the others. They noticed that she was on the phone and silently sat around the kitchen table, maxing out its available six seats. Krista and Janet to one side and Aina with Ally on the other.

“Do you have any you would recommend that I look at?” she asked.

“Oh, definitely,” the other woman returned. “There are several within minutes of your current address, and one in particular that I think you love. I’d move into it myself if I didn’t already have a lovely home and a husband that would be severely upset. I have the entire day open; so would you like to go and see a few of them?”

Raina thought about that and looked at the girls and Tina, they all bore expectant expressions. “Let me ask my family real quick,” she said and then lowered the phone. “Would you girls mind going to look at houses today?” She knew Tina would want to go with her no matter what.

“Sounds kind of fun to me,” Janet said at once.

“I don’t mind at all,” Krista agreed in that pleasant manner she had.

They all looked at Ally who frowned suddenly at being the center of attention. “I don’t mind either,” she said in a confused tone. “But why are we looking at houses?”

“We all agree,” Aina said and smiled at Ally. “I’ll explain it to her; you can get back to the woman on the phone.

Raina blinked at that. It still sometimes surprised her when Aina showed just how aware of her surroundings she really was. But that was unimportant and she got back to the phone. “It looks like that would be fine Ms. Woeburn,” she said.

“Good! Do you have an email account I can send a list of addresses and rough maps to?” Raina gave one to her as Aina gave Ally a whispered explanation of things. From Ally’s expressions she understood now. “Just print those off and I can meet you at the Harrington St house in about hour, does that work?”

“It does,” Raina agreed. They could eat a quick breakfast in an hour.

“See you in an hour then,” there was a soft click and then the phone gave the soft chirp that indicated an ended call. She set the phone down and smiled at it. It would be amazing if she could actually find and purchase a home of her own after all these years. Especially if she and Tina did have more children, which she hoped they would. She had been dreaming of that lately.

“So, we’re going house hunting,” Tina said, setting her cup down.

“Yes, and I hope you’ll give me your input on them, Tina,” she answered. “I’d like to find a nice new family home.”

Tina flushed a little and sat up straighter, pleased surprise on her face. “You really want to know what I think of them when we see them?”

“Of course, I’m hoping that you’ll be an important part of things in the future,” it was the most blatant thing she’d said yet about hoping for a permanent thing between them. Evidently she agreed because Tina grinned and kissed her right in front of the other girls. Though why that embarrassed her at this point was a mystery, she’d been more intimate than this with her own daughter before so this should be a minor thing, but it wasn’t. It didn’t help that when Tina let her go all four girls were smiling at them.

“Well,” she said, re-gathering her composure. “How was your night, girls? Did you sleep alright Ally?”

“I did,” the cute blond answered, she gave Aina a very affectionate smile. “Aina and the others have been taking good care of me.”

“We try,” Janet quipped with a grin.

“I think things worked out well,” Krista agreed.

Raina felt her own smile growing. Between the four of them they had a fairly wide range of personalities. Between Janet’s boisterousness, Krista’s pleasant warmth, Aina’s calmness and whatever Ally would blossom into, they would keep her busy for years to come. She was sure of it. But it seemed like things could be enjoyable. The four of them would make excellent older sisters if she had more children too.

“Want me to help make breakfast?” Aina asked. “Since we’ve only got an hour?”

“That would be nice,” she told her daughter.

“Cool, I’ll mix things and you can cook mom, you make awesome pancakes.” Aina grinned. Then she looked at the table and things started to appear on it. Everyone else kind of jerking back in surprise as a big mixing bowl, eggs, flour, milk, and the other ingredients needed to make good homemade pancakes started popping out of weird shadowy things and onto the table top in front of and around Aina. Raina had seen this little performance before when Aina had helped her cook on other occasions.

“That’s so convenient,” Janet smiled at the table of food ingredients.

“Isn’t it?” Aina smiled and crinkled her nose in amusement. She greatly enjoyed using her powers Raina knew. Ally was staring at Aina with an almost awed expression and Raina wondered if Aina was showing off to her new little protégé. She just shook her head and stood. She got out a large skillet that sat over two of the stove burners and turned up the heat as she sprayed on a light layer of oil.

Tina also got up and rummaged in the fridge to pull out the package of bacon. It was the good stuff. She justified buying it based on the fact that on most days she was the only one that ate at meals, though she would have to reevaluate that now since it looked like she was going to be host to most if not all of the girls frequently and Tina. Tina though just smiled at her and pulled out two strips of bacon per person minus Aina.

Meanwhile Aina was putting on a small show at the table. Eggs floated into the air and split perfectly in half to spill their contents into the mix. A small amount of vegetable oil flowed in a stream through the air and into the bowl in what Raina knew would be the right amount. She wasn’t sure how Aina did that, but she never seemed to get the measurements wrong. When she cooked, Aina was one of those people who could do everything by eye and she’d seen more of it lately because Aina had been cooking more meals than before. She claimed it a return for feeding her everyday.

As the ingredients literally flew into the bowl Ally seemed to perk up a bit and she smiled at Aina. “Do you have any blueberries?”

“Let’s see,” Aina frowned and then smiled again as a container of fresh blueberries that Raina had bought the other day appeared. “Seems we do Ally.” The blond grinned at them in almost child-like glee. “Anyone else want berries?” Aina asked.

“How about chocolate chips?” Janet asked hopefully. Everyone, Raina included looked at the girl. “What?”

“I don’t know if you need any more sugar,” Krista laughed. “I’ll take mine plain.”

Aina shook her head in mock resignation and the asked for chocolate chips appeared. By then she’d finished mixing everything and brought the bowl, berries and chips to the stove. “Here yah go mom, one plain order, one with berries and one chocolate.”

“Two with berries,” Tina said, and then shared a smile with Ally.

Raina nodded and smiled as well. This certainly was an interesting little family she had growing in her kitchen. She couldn’t wait until the party when everyone would be here. But she got to work and cooked the food with pancakes on one side of the griddle and the bacon on the other. Janet’s she would have to make last since the chocolate would make one hell of a mess.

Behind her Aina cleaned up the table in the quick manner of long familiarity. Then she set out with the help of the other girls this time, the plates, silverware, juice, and syrup. By then the first of the pancakes were coming off. She had made her own and Krista’s plain ones to start. Then she poured on more batter and added berries. Last were the chocolate chip pancakes and they were hell on the skillet. But seeing Janet’s face when Aina set all the plates down in front of everyone made it worth it. Besides that, Aina volunteered to clean.

Raina sat down at her own place which put her between Ally and Tina. She watched in amusement as Ally liberally coated her breakfast in syrup and she had her tongue sticking out to one side as she did it, which was really cute. And the almost chagrined smile Ally gave her when she set the bottle down made her laugh. Across the table, Krista was gently poking fun at the chocolaty mess of Janet’s plate. And Aina was busy “cheating” at the sink as Janet called it; by using her power to effortlessly scour the skillet clean of grease, pancake and burnt chocolate.

“I think I could get used to mornings like this,” Tina said next to her as she stuck a square of pancake into her mouth. “Having a full breakfast table is fun.”

“I agree,” Raina said

When they finished eating and the dishes were put away, they all piled out of the house. Due to the large number of people they were forced to divide between her and Tina’s cars. Krista dragged Janet with her into Tina’s and Ally climbed into the back of her car and sat next to Aina. Since they had time, they also stopped by Krista’s house so that she could change into clothes that were more decent to wear in public.

They pulled up into the driveway of the first house on the list five minutes later. It was a small ranch-style home in a neighborhood that looked fairly sparse on the greenery and the house itself looked like a clone of every other house nearby. The grass was a sun burned brown and two choked looking evergreen bushes flanked the front walk by the front door. As they pulled in next to a small, sporty looking, red car, a smartly dressed woman in business attire and very stylish glasses stepped out to meet them.

“Ms. Dennet,” the woman smiled and held out a cleanly manicured hand.

She took it and the woman shook hers firmly. “Mrs. Woeburn.”

“Let’s head inside shall we?” the woman began to walk towards the front door of the house as she pulled a ring of carefully tagged keys from her pocket. Raina waited for the others to get out of the two cars and they followed after as a group. The girls naturally regrouped behind her and Tina. When they got to the now opened door and wiped their shoes on the company provided mat, they entered past Mrs. Woeburn. As they did so the woman twitched and frowned as she shut the door.

“Is there a problem?” Raina asked her.

“Pardon? No, not at all,” the woman smiled. “Remember how I told you that I’m an Empath? As you all walked by all the emotions all of you are feeling washed over me. It’s an involuntary thing, and your emotions were a bit strong so it took a moment to push them aside. Normally my ability makes me very good at selling houses, but you guys are as strange a mix as I’ve ever seen.” She paused and looked at the four girls. “Especially those four. But no matter, let me show you the house.”

And so she did. As she had thought initially, it was one of the soulless houses built by the thousand by the big builders. There was no warmth to it at all. Even her uneducated eyes caught places were corners were cut and substandard materials had been used. Two of the windows showed signs that they leaked and even on a calm day like this she could hear every single sound coming from outside. The upstairs master bedroom sat over the garage and as soon as she stepped into it cold seeped up through the floor; very poor insulation there. The house would be a money sink to heat or cool. The stove was a knockoff brand and the dishwasher was a simple on/off model with no settings whatsoever.

It was one of those nauseating Mcmansions that had been designed by a marketing department rather than an architect.

Tina and the girls all seemed equally displeased and let down by the place. Aina had led the girls around in their own separate little group and their comments to each other spoke volumes for the shear lackluster quality of the house. By the time Mrs. Woeburn finished her tour, she had a smile on her face.

“You hate it right?” she asked.

“Yeah,” Raina agreed immediately. “Buying this place would be like buying a lemon car.”

“And that’s why it has never sold since it was built,” Ms. Woeburn nodded. “I never would have shown it to you, but we have a contractual agreement with the builder to try and sell the place. They haven’t caught on about how useless the effort is yet but still throw money at us to try.”

Raina nodded her understanding, business was business. “So where to next?”

“A much nicer place,” Ms. Woeburn said with a smile.

The second house was a big white thing off of a private road. It was one of those antebellum style homes with the full width covered porch with roman style columns. The exterior was recently painted and cleanly white. It was set on a rise that gave excellent drainage and had a small unattached garage that was hidden around back. The inside looked very formal and expensive. Janet claimed that she loved it. She seemed to like the many stairways and open spaces. The others had been fairly indifferent.

“How on earth is something like this in my price range?” she asked as they walked through the wooden floored, high-ceiling grand room.

“The last person that bought it took out a lot of money on top of his mortgage to fix the place up, then he somehow came upon a lot of money, paid it all off and then not three weeks later, he died. He didn’t have any family on record. That means, according to state laws that it goes up for public bid. It hasn’t been on the list for very long and it hasn’t drawn much notice since it’s listed as having been built in 1893. None of the modernizing and other work has been noticed at all. So right now the set price is very low for the square footage.” Ms. Woeburn sounded almost proud of her investigative efforts.

At around noon they walked into the third house on the list and promptly turned right back around. It was one of those new feng shui style things. One look at it had been enough for Mrs. Woeburn to forgo the tour and head them onto the fourth place.

This one was much better. It was an old shingle-style house. It too was on the public market, but this time it was because its owner had been sent to prison and it had been proven that all his money had come from illegal sources, so the home had been seized. The outside was all darkly stained shingles with white trim. Inside, every room had wood floors. It also creaked when people walked around. Its price had been slashed due to a severe need for modern electrical work, plumbing and structural strengthening. The basement needed resealing. But Krista of all people said it felt homey.

They were still touring that house when Ally had an attack of tears when something stirred up thoughts of her dead parents. It happened while they were in the sunny window walled dinning room. She stopped walking suddenly and started to break down. Mrs. Woeburn must have felt the change because she whipped around from her tour guide lead to stare in horror and sadness.

But not four seconds passed before Aina, Krista and Janet were at the girl’s side. Aina took Ally to one side away from them and sat her down on the floor. There they gathered and spoke to the girl in soft tones that didn’t carry, but Raina still felt the comfort they were projecting. Hands stroked Ally and arms encircled her. Ally broke into body shaking sobs and buried her face into Aina’s chest and Aina met her eyes for a moment and Raina understood what she was asking for.

“Let’s carry on, Mrs. Woeburn,” she said in a strained tone. It was hard not to feel emotional when you saw a girl like Ally in such pain.

“But that girl!” Ms. Woeburn said in shock. “She’s…”

“The other girls are helping her,” Tina interrupted and gave Mrs. Woeburn a gentle push to get her moving and she grudgingly did so.

As they left Aina gave her a grateful look and then returned to give her full attention to comforting Ally.

When they were into another room and were no longer near the girls Mrs. Woeburn turned and gave them a severe look. “Why are you ignoring that girl? As soon as she looked outside I felt such a jolt of sadness I nearly broke out in tears myself. What happened to her?”

Raina crossed her arms and sighed. “Mrs. Woeburn, that girl has lost both of her parents, that is why she is so distraught. Her emotions are like landmines right now and there is no telling when she’ll go off like she just did. Almost anything might remind her of her parents and that they are dead. But did you also feel the girls?”

“Yes,” Mrs. Woeburn said in odd tone. “They all seemed to blend into one blanket of love and warmth. And I could feel your daughter wrapping her very being around that crying girl to draw her pain away and into herself. I’ve never felt anything like that.”

“That is why we left,” Raina said patiently. “They will be along once Ally has calmed and cried this particular demon out of her. We would only get in the way and embarrass her when she comes out of it.”

Mrs. Woeburn stood silent and contemplative for a long moment. When she spoke it was soft. “As I’ve already said, I’m an empath, and those girls and the two of you have been baffling me. I know you and this woman are deeply in love with each other. So much so that it feels like a blazing cord. There’s a similar but much hotter cord binding your daughter and two of the girls, it encompasses all of them. And a similar connection is rapidly forming with the blond girl to all of them. But there is a strange sense of wholeness between all of you. It has confused the hell out of me.”

Raina smiled and saw Tina was blushing. It was always nice to know she was loved. And the strength of the love between the girls wasn’t a surprise. “We’re just a very close family.”

“I suppose,” Mrs. Woeburn slowly. “Sometimes my ability is more confusing than it is informative.”

The sound of footsteps on the wooden floors announced the return of the girls. They surrounded Ally like guards and Aina was holding her hand. Ally gave them a small smile.

“Feeling better?” Raina asked the girl.

Ally nodded and squeezed Aina’s hand. “Aina and the others calmed me down. Sorry I interrupted things.”

“It was no trouble at all, Ally,” Raina said at once.

“Nope,” Tina said in agreement. “We’re more concerned about you than any house.”

“Thanks,” Ally said with pink tinged cheeks. “But I’m good now.”

Raina got the confused Mrs. Woeburn moving again and they complete the tour of that house. When they got back into the car, Aina laid Ally down across the backseat and then, after giving Raina an apologetic look, laid herself down with her. Raina made sure to keep her eyes firmly on the road to the next house and her attention away from the murmurs Aina was saying to the girl and the sounds of soft kisses.

Whatever Aina’s methods, they did seem to work wonders on Ally. She thought for a moment of Aina pursuing a career as a therapist, and dismissed it immediately with a chuckle. It would never work. There was no way parents would let their daughters get this kind of treatment. And besides, as soon as any kind of abuse subject showed up, Aina would freak. But it was fine for Ally though.

When she turned down the street for the next house on the list she was surprised to note that it was only a quarter-mile from Janet’s place and therefore a very short distance from the school. And as they drew closer Aina suddenly drew up in the back seat and Ally joined her a second later. Both girls had thoughtful looks on their faces, though Ally looked a bit flushed too. She definitely looked to be more cheerful again.

“Something wrong?” she asked.

“Dunno,” Aina answered. “But something feels funny.”

Ally was nodding her agreement. “I can feel it too.”

Mrs. Woeburn had said that this last house was the one she was most eager to show her. It was the one she had boasted of on the phone. The neighborhood here was an older one that was tucked behind the more modern subdivision that Janet lived in and a small stream. She hadn’t said anything about it being weird.

They traveled along a property that was hidden behind a thick and healthy hedge and her eyes widened when Ms. Woeburn turned her car into the drive that cut into that impenetrable wall of green. Raina turned in after her and her eyes stayed wide as they passed through the two pillars that flanked the drive and on each sat an intricate bronze Chinese guardian lion. One had its clawed paw on a ball, the other on a club. One had an open mouth of teeth and the other was closed. Neither showed even a speck of oxidation and the two girls in the backseat stared hard at them as if they might leap off the pillars. Ally, she noted, had moved to lean into Aina’s body and Aina had curled an arm around her.

It was a decent sized lot of land for a suburban area once they passed through the entrance. The grass was a little long, but it was a deep and thick green. The driveway led up to a porte-cochere and then on back behind. The house itself was huge. It was built in a very old gothic revival style that Raina knew hadn’t been built like this since the mid 1800’s. It was all in patterned masonry with strong vertical lines that lent it a towering feel even though it was only two stories of living space.

The roof and walls were decorated liberally with carvings and stone spires that jutted up in a flowery medieval look. There were multiple visible chimneys and arched windows. Some looked like they might even have stained glass in them. It was also just plain huge. Not as big as Tina’s place or Krista’s, but big. Behind her, Ally and Aina both seemed equally awed.

“How in hell is this thing anywhere near what could be considered affordable?” Aina asked. “I know I’m only twelve mom, but even I can tell an expensive old house when I see one. This thing has to be an antique.”

“But it is cool looking though,” Ally said, clearly impressed. “I like the outside at least.”

Raina parked behind Mrs. Woeburn and frowned at the woman when she got out. “Mrs. Woeburn, is this some kind of joke? There is no way a house like this is within my means.”

“It’s not a joke,” Mrs. Woeburn said with a smile as Tina and the others joined them. They too seemed confused and impressed at the same time and from their manner, they also must feel something odd. “This house is right about in the middle of the price range that I used as an estimate of what you could afford. Its price is that low because it hasn’t sold in the five years it’s been on the market.”

Raina gave the house a look. “Something is wrong with it inside?”

“Nothing major,” Mrs. Woeburn smiled. “It does need a little more modernizing if you want things like cable TV or an internet connection, but all the rest has been brought fully up to code as of two years ago. An energy efficient water heater and A/C were installed then too.”

“Then what’s the catch?”

“This house has a bit of a story behind it,” Mrs. Woeburn said, leaning back against her car. “It was built originally right after the Civil War. Its original owner was some kind of local big shot at the time and wanted a nice fancy house to show off. From all accounts it worked. But after that it went through several owners that never lived here long. Then, a rather…eccentric individual purchased it.” Mrs. Woeburn gave them an odd look.

“Gerri said that you are familiar with things that are supernatural and what-not. So maybe you’ll understand when I say that that particular owner wasn’t entirely human. And neither were the next three or four owners. But now it sits empty. After its last long term owner died from a particularly bad case of a pancreatic cancer, no one has stayed in it for very long.”

“And I’m guessing that there’s a reason for that?” Raina said, not liking where this was going.

“Yes,” Mrs. Woeburn smiled widely. “The problem was that they were all a bunch of rich, uptight, and most importantly, normal, snobs. Since this house has had such a supernatural presence in it for so long, it gathered a few additions other than the structural ones. Those snobs were convinced this place is either haunted, or structurally unsound. They would come home and find things moved and messes cleaned up, and that kind of thing. But it is most certainly still sturdy and livable.”

Mrs. Woeburn paused and Raina stood there until she realized the woman was waiting for a response. “So you’re saying it’s haunted? Ghosts actually exist?”

“They do,” Mrs. Woeburn said with a gleeful smile now. “But that’s not what is going on. It has a zashiki-warashi. It’s a type of house spirit. It is entirely benign and non-sentient. It likes to clean messes and maintain the house it has moved into. Most likely you will never ever actually see it. But normals find a house that seems to clean itself creepy. And there are yosei, which are an odd kind of fairy thing that live in the back garden, and again, they just want to maintain their trees, flowers and lawn and are entirely harmless.”

“What about those Chinese lions,” Aina asked, jerking her thumb over her shoulder toward them. Janet and Krista were nodding their agreement to the question.

“Noticed those?” Mrs. Woeburn’s eyebrows went up. “Those are real gate guardians. I’ve never seen them move though. I’m told that they will protect the property from uninvited invasion and from thefts.” Mrs. Woeburn turned back to Raina. “Before we even go inside, look at this.”

She pulled out a sheet of paper through the open widow of her car and handed it over. Raina and Tina next to her both looked down at and gasped. It was a tracking of the home’s offered sale price over the last seven years. And it had been slashed dozens of times.

“The bank that owns this place at the moment is desperate to sell it to almost anyone,” Mrs. Woeburn said in satisfaction. “It’s on their list of homes that must absolutely be sold. They don’t want the burden of its upkeep anymore and because of its reputation, buyers and more traditional real estate companies have steered clear of it.”

Raina couldn’t believe it. The woman was telling the truth. According to the sheet, Fieldman Bank Corp, its current owner, was offering it at a ridiculous price. And that price was right in the price range she could afford. But could she live in a house with the things that had scared off all the others? Mrs. Woeburn seemed to think they were harmless.

“Raina,” Tina said in a soft whisper. “Are you worried about those beings Mrs. Woeburn mentioned?” Raina nodded. Tina smiled. “Don’t be. I can feel them too and the woman told the truth, they are harmless and actually beneficial to the home. I would think it would be nice to live in a house that cleaned itself whenever it got dirty or messy.”

“I agree too,” Aina said, not whispering at all. Raina could see a soft purple light shining in her eyes as she glanced around. Mrs. Woeburn was eyeing her warily now. “There’s nothing hostile. I think it was those lions and the fairy things, whatever that is, that I feel.”

“Do all supernatural creatures attract others when they live somewhere?” Raina asked out of curiosity.

“Yes, especially if they’re strong,” Mrs. Woeburn smiled. “I’m surprised your daughter hasn’t attracted a few things to your own home. They wouldn’t be dangerous, because those would be scared to death of her. Some live in and round the houses of normal humans, but most of those people never even notice. Now let’s take a look on the inside”

Mrs. Woeburn pulled out her key ring again and unlocked the heavy, carved double front door and led them into a wide foyer of polished red-brown stone. The foyer contained a beautiful and lovingly maintained grand staircase of polished, warm-colored wood that led up to the second floor. The wall had wood paneling up to about waist high and then above that were walls painted in an earthy red color that matched the wood and stone.

“As you can see, it was built with style,” Mrs. Woeburn said as she led them in deeper. They turned left through a wide, arched doorway into a kind of sitting room or something. This then led into a formal dinning room that still had a long wooden table running down the middle with intricately carved chairs down each side and at each end. Then they came to a small breakfast nook which then opened directly into a large kitchen with an absurdly large stove and double ovens and granite countertops. A large set of glass sliding doors sat along one wall and led out to the back garden.

The other side of the house had a thickly carpeted living room, a half bath with antique looking fixtures attached to modern plumbing, and of all things, a library full of empty wooden shelves on every wall except the one that was all windows. It was a very sunny room and rich, velvet curtains hung on either side of that glass. There were also two small bedrooms tucked away in the back. Mrs. Woeburn said they were guest bedrooms.

Upstairs was another large living room. On either side of that were two large bedrooms. The left side contained the master suit that had two walk-in closets, and a massive bathroom that even had his-and-her toilets and a marble whirlpool bath that was set into the floor. A separate shower unit in the corner seemed to be almost hidden behind a stone wall alcove. Each of the other bedrooms also had a bathroom, either attached or nearby. None were as preposterous as the master one, but they were still very nice. At either end of the hallway upstairs were smaller servant stairways.

Behind the house and the hidden two-car garage was an ample garden and lawn. Krista especially seemed to like that place and walked all through it. Tina said that was the fey in her.

In fact, there was something each of them really like about the house. Janet just liked the aesthetics and the roominess. Krista liked the garden and the plentiful windows, especially the confirmed stained glass in the upstairs living room. Ally said she loved the oldness of it all. And Aina just smiled and said that it felt cool, whatever that actually meant. But Raina knew her daughter’s senses were different that her own now, so who knew what she actually felt. Tina, unsurprisingly, loved the crazy bathroom and its huge tub.

“I can’t believe I’m actually contemplating buying this thing,” Raina said as they were descending back into the foyer. “Aina, the two of us will rattle around in this much space.”

Next to her Tina frowned and Aina let out a disappointed sigh, and then grinned. “Mom, you know well that you and I won’t be the only ones living or at least staying here for extended amounts of time. I saw how close you and Tina were looking at the master suite.” Aina passed her grin to Tina. “You were planning on moving in, right?”

“You were?” Raina said, in a bloom of hope as she turned to her girlfriend and lover.

“I was hoping I could,” Tina said, and gave Aina a wry look. “Thanks for putting that right out in the open.”

Aina rolled her eyes in open amusement and threw a casual arm around an appreciative Krista. “Please Tina, mom, it’s plain to all of us how you two feel about each other. Why play games about it? And I like the idea of having a bigger family here in this place.” Aina’s eyes passed over Janet and Ally, who were walking together. “And besides mom, don’t you think that between the six of us we will fill the place up nicely?”

“Aina,” Raina said in a snort of amused admonishment. Then she looked right at Tina and the group stopped at the front door. “I really would like it if you stayed here with me as much as you want to.” She turned back to her daughter, who looked entirely unrepentant. “Aina, the girls all have their own homes, remember? And I think Janet’s mom at least would object to us stealing her away.”

“My mom would probably consider it a well deserved vacation,” Janet laughed. “But mom knows how we feel, so I’m likely to be around as much as I can. And since this place would be really close by it would make walking here and home convenient.”

“You already know my parents don’t care where I live,” Krista said as she leaned comfortably into Aina. Raina noticed Mrs. Woeburn was studiously ignoring the four girls’ behavior. “They wouldn’t mind me staying here with you and Aina at all. And even if they came home and wondered where I was, they’d just call me. Since we’re fey, they don’t need cell phones to talk to me.”

Raina sighed. Both statements were probably very true. And she didn’t even need to see or hear from Ally. Because of her bond to Aina and her new condition and mental state, she would be around daily and likely for extended periods of time. It made a weird kind of sense to have a house where each of them could have their own space when they were around and both she and Aina already considered them family for the most part. This was also the kind of house most people could only dream about.

“Your family won’t mind you living with me most of the time?” she asked Tina.

Tina snorted and laughed. “No, mom’s been bugging me for a while to try and get out on my own. And my sisters both have cars so they can see me whenever they want.”

Raina could see that everyone was largely in agreement on this. So she was the only one feeling any kind of reservations. But she only felt them because of her training and education in accounting. She didn’t like leaping on potential financial gambles. But, she reasoned, that didn’t mean she had too. Buying a house was a process and she could and would go over everything carefully. She worked with contract layers on a daily basis, so she knew more than a little about how to make sure she was secure. All that was really needed now was a decision of interest.

“Ms. Dennet?” Mrs. Woeburn said with a smile, obviously sensing her resolution with her empath ability.

Raina smiled back. “I believe we have a clear consensus on this one. You were right, it’s great. Do you have the documents available so that I can reserve it?”

“I do,” Mrs. Woeburn said in clear pleasure. “The reservation lasts for a period of two weeks unless you prove you are waiting for financing. But since I have already pre-approved you for each of the homes we looked at today, that wouldn’t be unnecessary. So let’s head outside to my car and discuss this.”

A couple hours later as the sun was setting, Aina walked back into their house with her mother and Ally. Janet and Krista had been driven back to their homes. Janet had decided that she needed to tell her parents about the last couple of days and about the future. Krista had gone home to organize some stuff together so she would have her own things here and later at the new house that Mom had started the process of buying. Tina had gone home for the same reason as Janet; she wanted to tell her family about events.

It made the house a little lonely feeling with more than half their number suddenly gone, but it would only be for a night. Tomorrow was the party and everyone, and all the others too, would be here for it. Aina couldn’t wait to see Danni again. She missed her older friend and her last visit had been marred by grandmother’s untimely visit. She was also curious about Tina’s family. Tina had described them, but that wasn’t the same at all.

“Are you hungry?” Aina asked Ally as mom hung up her coat and they walked deeper into the house.

“I think I could eat something,” Ally said with a playful smile. Since her one bout of depression, Ally had bounced back. She’d been in an almost bubbly happy mood ever since the little discussion the four of them and Tina had had while mom did her thing with Mrs. Woeburn. They’d talked of possible opportunities the new house would offer and Ally had been shocked and deeply touched when Aina suggested that she should get her own room seeing as she was now a permanent part of Aina’s life.

“Is grilled cheese alright?” Mom asked as she followed them into the kitchen.

“I love grilled cheese!” Ally answered cheerily.

Aina sat down on one side of the table and Ally made sure to sit next to her. Aina had expected that. She supposed that some people would find the behavior to be clingy, but Aina rather liked it. She liked having her nearby so she could make sure Ally was alright.

“Are you really alright with me staying here again?” Ally asked mom as she got out the necessary ingredients for the sandwiches.

“Ally, I’m growing used to having a small mob of preteen girls in my house,” mom chuckled. “And you missed Aina’s little declarations last night.”

Aina frowned a little in embarrassment when Ally gave her and mom questioning looks that made her small and cute nose wrinkle. That just made mom laugh harder as she put two assembled sandwiches onto a pan on the stove and got out a bag of chips.

“Aina told your aunt last night that you are hers and that she would comfort and care for you. She also declared that you would be staying here with her until you were feeling better at the very least. She also arranged a schedule so sat that you can feed; all without telling me about any of it in fact.”

Aina heard the gentle rebuke in her mother’s voice and sighed. She had been rather emotionally charged the previous night and had let her instincts rule her thoughts. She had stepped over her bounds as a daughter. “Sorry mom,” she said sincerely. “I just reacted.” Aina looked to Ally and the cute blonde was staring at her in fascination, Aina reached out with her other senses and felt a flickering joy growing.

“What?” Aina asked her. “I told you this morning. You are now part of my life and that means I’ll take care of you whenever you want or need it. You’re important to me.”

“But you’re doing so much for me?” Ally said in confusion.

“You may as well stop trying to figure her reasoning out Ally,” Mom joked. “Aina has already decided she cares about you and that you are family, so you’re welcome at any time just like the others. Besides, the house would feel a little empty with just Aina and me here by ourselves.”

“So don’t complain,” Aina grinned.

Ally frowned at the word family, probably remembering her dead parents again, but her smile quickly returned and she nodded. “Then thank you both.”

“None needed,” mom said. She flipped the now golden brown sandwiches onto plates. She gave Ally hers and after getting out some water to drink, they ate. As they did so and talked a little, Aina went about her usual evening chores which consisted of doing her laundry and making sure her bathroom was still clean. By the time the former was on its way and the later was touched up from this morning, Ally and mom were finished.

When she re-entered the kitchen, she saw Ally was giving her surreptitious looks as if she wanted something but was afraid to ask. Aina checked the clock. It had been just over twelve hours. That meant Ally was on the same approximate feeding time-table she was when she didn’t use any vampiric powers. But Ally needed to ask for it on her own. She wanted the girl to be comfortable with who she was.

It took another hour, while they were watching a movie on TV together. Ally was lying in her arms in front of her on the sofa, but Aina noticed that she was growing a little restless and she could smell a hint of sweetness from her. Then, halfway through the movie, Ally tilted her small blonde head up and then turned a little to give her a small kiss. “Aina, I think I’m a little thirsty now,” Ally said in a soft whisper.

Aina smiled and gave her a small return kiss. “Ally, I’ve been waiting almost an hour for you to ask. When you need something, just ask me right away. But for now, let’s head back to my room.”

Ally gave her a very pleased smile and then a longer kiss. “Thanks Aina.”

Aina sat up and looked to her mother who had been carefully watching the movie. “Looks like we’re heading back for the night mom; Ally’s on the same schedule as me as far as feeding goes. You can tell Ms. Maviers that if she calls tomorrow before the party.”

“Sure, goodnight girls,” mom said with a sleepy smile. It had been a long day. “Ally, just tell me when you’re hungry in the morning and I’ll make you something. Now go and have fun.”

Ally’s cheeks were scarlet from that last comment, but she eagerly got off the sofa and walked back to the bedroom with her. Aina thought it was weird that they could feed each other, it was too easy that way and life generally didn’t let that happen. But she wasn’t going to argue with a good thing. Once they were back in her room and Aina had put up her silence barrier, Ally’s shyness returned.

Then Ally gave her a small smile. “Sorry, I’m still not used to this. I didn’t know how to ask just now. I’ve never had to ask someone straight out to have sex with me. And it was worse since your mom knew exactly what I was talking about.”

“Ally, we’ve grown fairly casual about such things around here lately,” Aina smiled. “But they way you asked was just fine. But do you remember the back of the car earlier?”

“Yes!” Ally laughed. “I know you were helping me, but I’ve never had someone get me worked up and aroused to make me feel better.

“It worked though,” Aina grinned. She was glad Ally was in such a good mood. She had such a sunny disposition when she was happy. “But the point I was getting to is that you don’t necessarily need to ask me in the exact words. I’ll get what you mean easy enough.”

She approached Ally, slid her arms around the other girl until her hands held an ass cheek each and pulled Ally tight to her body. Aina heard Ally’s sluggish heartbeat increasing and she was very pleased when Ally was the one who moved her face forward for a hard and passionate kiss. Ally was getting much better at kissing and their mutual saliva sent a wave of arousal through both of them. She could feel both of their small nipples hardening and pressing into the other.

She felt Ally’s mouth open slight, so she slid her tongue out. She used it to caress and play with Ally’s smaller one. She was rewarded with a soft groan and Ally’s hands reaching for the hem of her shirt.

“Somebody is eager for this now,” Aina smiled as she loosened her grip on the girl and raised her arms so that her shirt could be drawn off.

“And whose fault is that?” Ally giggled as she stood admiring Aina’s topless state. “Before yesterday I never would have stood with another girl and stared at her body with a desire to lick all over it and touch it in every way I can. But now I look at you and it makes me hot inside.”

“That’s a nice compliment,” Aina grinned at her and then reached down to slide her skirt and panties to the floor where she kicked them aside. Ally’s gaze settled between her legs and she licked her lips. And no wonder, both of their scents were already heavy on the air. “Are you going to stand there all night Ally, or do I need to strip you again?”

“I wouldn’t mind, not anymore,” Ally answered with a playful grin. But she quickly removed her own clothes and tossed them all in a pile off to the side of the bed. Aina too ran her eyes over Ally’s body. She really liked the combination of pale skin, pale blond hair, bright pink nipples and from here she could see a hint of glistening pink from Ally’s lower lips. Ally’s grin grew wider as she looked on. “Janet told me to watch for that look on your face, Aina.”

“She did?” Aina laughed.

“Yep, but do you really like the way I look?”

“Very much so,” Aina said emphatically. She walked forward again and gently pushed Ally backward until her legs hit the bed and she sat down on the edge. Aina spread her legs and knelt there to take one of those lovely nipples into her mouth. Ally gasped and squirmed on the bed sheet, trying to grind her hot womanhood on it. Aina just smiled inwardly and nibbled and sucked hard. Ally responded quickly to the slightly rougher treatment.

“Aina that feels…” Ally ended it in a moan and placed both hands on Aina’s head. Small hands roamed through her hair.

Aina changed nipples but used her hand to pinch and twist the one she had left. Ally’s grinding grew more fervent and her moans grew louder.

“Aina, can you…please…omhp” Ally rasped out. Ally cut off as Aina slipped up smoothly, pulled her face down and kissed her hard. A shudder ran through Ally’s skinny body. Aina loved making the girls she loved feel good and it pleased her that Ally was.

Before Ally’s mind could recover from the nipple and saliva induced mini-orgasm, Aina pulled Ally’s thighs up onto her shoulders, pulled Ally’s ass off the bed a little and dove her face into her wet honey pot. Ally actually gave a small shriek as Aina slid her tongue as deep as she could to push in all the saliva she could manage. Ally’s vagina quivered and flooded on her wriggling tongue.

When she felt that Ally was dangerously close to cumming, Aina slid further down and rammed her tongue up Ally’s tight little asshole. She bathed that in her saliva too and at the same time she slid two fingers into Ally’s pussy. It took only a minute or two of the fingers and tongue before Ally started thrusting hard into her face and hand. Then she let out a mighty moan and Aina quickly clamped her mouth over Ally’s pussy and savored the hot liquid that poured into it from the quivering and clenching hole.

Ally fell back flat onto the bed and lay gasping with a smile across her face. Aina climbed up onto the bed, pulled Ally a little more firmly onto it, and then straddled the girl to kiss her. As she did so Ally’s small hand raised up to cup her cheeks.

She wondered about the other hand for a moment, but she quickly found out where it was because it cupped her pussy and two of Ally’s slim fingers slid nicely inside her. As they made out, she rode Ally’s fingers, humping into them in a strong, steady rhythm that also ground the back of that hand into Ally’s pussy. She rapidly increased her pace until they both shuddered simultaneously in orgasm. She clamped onto Ally’s fingers and felt hotness on her thighs.

But Ally’s fingers withdrew and then Aina felt both hands pulled at her butt. Aina took one look at Ally’s heavily aroused face and knew what she wanted. So she complied and slid her ass up Ally’s body, shuffling her knees along the bed until she was kneeling over Ally’s face and as soon as she was in place she felt a mouth and then a tongue invade.

Aina shuddered. Her body still hadn’t calmed from cumming on Ally’s fingers and it was quickly gearing up for another one. She could feel Ally’s saliva acting on her now too. Ally’s hands roamed up her body to play with her small brown nipples and then she felt it, a quick flick of a tongue over her very sensitive back hole.

“Ally?” she managed to gasp out. She looked down and saw glowing happiness in Ally’s clear blue eyes. And again felt a tongue swiped over her asshole and made her gasp and twitch. Ally seemed to laugh silently and she did it again. Ally was quickly figuring out the buttons that made her scream.

Ally went back and forth from her pussy and ass until Ally thrust her slim tongue deep into her backside. Aina couldn’t help letting out a small wail as her body tried to imitate an earthquake. Ally quickly recaptured her pussy and Aina came hard onto her mouth. Ally continued her assault and she came once, twice, god knows how many times.

Then it ended and she fell off of Ally in a heap. The familiar and pleasant aftershocks of serial orgasms rippled through her and she gladly accepted Ally when the girl crawled up and into her arms. Aina held the girl for a long time and Ally’s contented and pleased smile said volumes. Then she felt a small tingle as Ally used her new powers to clean them and the bed clean of their fluids and she watched as Ally swallowed it all. Then Ally grinned and snuggled her face into Aina’s tiny breasts.

“Thank you for that Ally,” she said when she could speak again. “You didn’t have to do that with my butt.”

“I know, but I wanted to at least try it.” Ally said, closing her eyes. “I liked making you shudder like that. It’s a lot of fun making you and the others feel good. And it wasn’t gross either. Krista was right, you were perfectly clean.”

“I do try,” Aina acknowledged. “So I take you talked with both of them today?”

“I did,” Ally agreed, sounding sleepy and happy. “Janet asked me, after my one bad moment today, if I was interested in being a sister-wife with them. Krista said something similar later on. And Janet was the one who told me not to stop licking you until you were shaking.”

“She would,” Aina giggled. “What was that about sister-wives?”

“I think it’s how they see their relation to you; as sisters and future wives to each other and you. I was kind of shocked because, I mean, we’re only twelve, though I understand Krista is turning thirteen soon. But they love you so much, and I think I’m coming to feel that way too.”

“Ally?!” Aina felt pleasure and shock at the statement.

Ally opened one dreamy looking eye. “It’s true Aina. There was a hole in my heart from the loss of my parents, and now it’s filling up with you.” Ally leaned a little more into her chest. “So yes, I do love you Aina. And this feels so nice…..”

Ally trailed off into silence and Aina felt and heard her breathing slow into an even rhythm of sleep. Ally still had that small smile on her face. It was much better than the tears Aina had seen several times now and she found she was treasuring that smile just as much as she did Janet’s or Krista’s. Ally was slipping into her heart too.

“So, sister-wives?” Aina said softly to no one. It was an interesting concept her two girlfriends had put together. It implied a lot and for a moment she wondered if she was even worthy of this kind of devotion. Most people were lucky to find one person they could live their life with. She now had three girls that had each come to love her and she had come to love them back; if that wasn’t some kind of blessing, then nothing was.

She grinned, reached out with her mind and power and covered them with the bed sheets. She snuggled Ally and herself into them and closed her own eyes. She used one last mental flick to dissipate her barrier, and then she too was content to sleep.
