Chapter 258: The more the better

Chapter 258: The more the better

“Morning, sleepy. Time for breakfast!”

Mason blinked awake and found himself on the couch in the chief’s hall covered in a blanket. Haley had called from the kitchen, and he glanced at the dim light coming through a window and slowly remembered the amazing night with Rosa and Haley. And then...

“You slept through the night,” Rosa said as she whisked inside carrying a plate a cup of coffee Mason could already smell. She was wearing long sleeves and a long dress that covered her from neck to knees, but she still looked amazing.

She looked at herself as Mason did and wiggled her eyebrows.

“Haley says I’m to be careful with you in the morning. We all have things to do.”

She set down the plate and drink and leaned in to give Mason a quick peck on the lips, but he pulled her in for something deeper and gave her thick ass a smack.

“I see Haley was right,” she said with a poor attempt to hide her pleasure.

“She usually is.”

Mason sat up and tore into his food without really looking. It was so good he just groaned and ate, but he knew the care and talent of his girls were mostly wasted on him.

“Our caveman,” said Haley from the kitchen doorway dressed equally conservatively in a plain brown dress.

“At least he’s conscious,” Rosa said. “I thought our surprise was too much and we’d killed him.”

Mason stopped long enough to glance up, and Haley held up her hands. “She said it, not me. I’m not responsible for what happens to you, girl.”

“She’s right. We have things to do.” Mason shoved another spoonful of something like grits in his mouth and sighed. Then he remembered and met Haley’s eyes. “Becky?...”

“Still asleep,” she said, smile fading a little. “The doctor says it’s not surprising. That she’ll wake up when her brain is ready. Aila’s taking good care of her.”

Mason nodded, feeling the world creep back in after an incredible night. But Haley and Rosa had gone above and beyond, and he wasn’t even sure how to appreciate them properly.

He stood and realized he was naked but didn’t care, then hunted down both girls to give them a hug and kiss and a proper grope.

“Last night was exactly what I needed,” he said. “You’re both sexy angels.”

Rosa rolled her eyes but failed to hide her smile. “Well. It’s probably time I go home. Lexi will think I was kidnapped.”

“If you moved in, you’d already be home,” Mason said, not letting her go.

“We could cook together all the time!” Haley added.

Rosa sort of bit her lip and pushed Mason a little without real effort. “Lexi would miss me. And...it would mean living with Becky, too. I don’t dislike her, but it’s not like Haley, and...dios mio I can’t talk about this when she’s over there unconscious. I’m going.”

Mason let her go but Haley kept at it.

“Your friend would understand, silly girl. And anyway,” she wiggled her eyebrows. “Maybe we should introduce her to Mason.”

Rosa stopped and glared. “You never stop, do you?”

“Well!” Haley shrugged as if wounded. “Does she have a man?”

Rosa squinted and tossed her hands like this was all ridiculous. “How many women do you think even fit in a bed? And Lexi isn’t...I mean she...well...oh why am I even having this conversation.”

“Leave her alone, Haley.” Mason went to Rosa and held her again. “You don’t have to do anything, OK? I’m happy as is. The more I get of you, the better. That’s it.”

She smiled a little at that and gave him another peck on the lips.

“OK. Adios. I’ll see you before you leave again?”

Mason nodded, and the dark beauty waved to Haley and took a bag of things as she left the hall.

“I am bloody not. They’re all from the continent,” Lexi said with something like distaste, then she grinned. “I wouldn’t expect one of you Americans to understand.”

“I’m not...”

“See! That’s what you’re doing.”

“OK, truce.” Rosa stuck out her pinkie and Lexi hooked it with hers. They lay there a little while, sort of comfortably cuddled just staring at the ceiling.

“Maybe Mason could just...service me. You know? Like you could lend him out. Like a pimp. What do they call women pimps? Madams?”

“You are such a little slut!”

Lexi snorted and covered her face. "Oh God. I’m not even kidding. I mean, he doesn't have to like, be my man. I could just borrow him, you know? Like a human vibrator."

Rosa laughed and grabbed her friend's arms, rolling her over to try and get at her very ticklish sides. The little brunette fought and kicked but she was so small it was almost like fighting a big child. When they'd calmed down Rosa gave her friend a hug.

"I like living with you."

"I like living with you, too."

Rosa sighed on her friend's shoulder, and Lexi turned to face her.

"Seriously, though, about the Mason thing, I'm kidding. But like, if you get him blindfolded, you could just tag me, and I'll hop on for a little spin, and like..."

"Lexi!"

Lexi was laughing and soon had to fight Rosa's tickles off again. But she got serious after awhile.

"If you keep getting your brains banged out, you might get pregnant. So you're going to have to live with him then, right? It can't be like this forever."

Rosa winced, trying not to think about that. Practically every woman in her family had gotten pregnant around her age. But she was different. She’d gotten a scholarship, she’d gone to college. She was going to change her future. At least, that was the plan...before everything. Now it all felt so stupid.

“You’re not mad?” Lexi said. “I mean, about the jokes. I’d be jealous, if I’m honest. It’s just this stupid game. I’m like a dog in heat.”

“I’m not mad.” Rosa grinned, feeling embarrassed to admit the next thought even to herself, let alone say it out loud. But this was Lexi, and she needed to say it. “Mason...I mean, he has two other women living with him. He has more, you know, out there.” She gestured at the window. “But when I’m with him, it doesn’t even matter. I can’t explain it.”

Lexi didn’t say anything and Rosa sighed as she went on.

“He’s like...a force of nature, with a dick. And what are we supposed to all do in this crazy place, you know? He’d kill for me. He’d die for me. I know that. And he’d be a good father, too, if he ever had the time. So what am I gonna say? All I want to do is see him again.”

Lexi gave her a squeeze, and it was exactly what she needed. After a little while she said: “So what do we do? About the living thing?” After awhile, Rosa sighed.

“We probably move into the chief’s hall.”

“Um,” Lexi turned to look at her. “What do you mean ‘we’?”

“I mean...we already share the bed. I’ll just get us our own room. And then we’ll just...figure it out.”

Lexi grinned, then rolled her head back and put her hands on her face. “Oh girl I can’t listen to him bang you all through the wall. I’ll go insane.”

Rosa sighed, doubting very seriously that’s how it would happen. She tried to stop the heat rising up her body, not sure if it was embarrassment or shame or excitement or what.

“I said we’d figure it out,” she said, and her friend shot up like a dog who’d heard the word ‘walk’.

“What do you mean? Like human vibrator figure it out? Because I was definitely mostly kidding. Except not. But still.”

Rosa closed her eyes and stood. “I’m going to do some alchemy.” She walked towards her private room, trying not to think too much about the zero per cent chance of a woman living with Mason and not sleeping with him.

But she also couldn’t ignore the little pang of excitement in knowing she’d share that part of her life with Lexi, too. Because it didn’t bother her nearly as much as it should have. She closed the door and put her forehead against the cool wood, muttering to herself.

“What would my Abuela say?”
