Marcus doesn't waste any time getting to Aurora's room. Coming into the room he asks them to take a seat since there are some things they need to know before they continue. He just hopes that they want to continue once they find out what he has to tell them.
Once the two females are situated he nervously paces back and forth before them. Aurora and Margaret look at each other in confusion before turning their confused looks back onto the man they agreed to marry.
"Okay, I'm sorry about this. I was just trying to figure out how to explain things.
"You both have a very basic understanding of our history so this isn't something that would have been taught to you. Indeed, I don't think that any one not of the royal family has been taught this.
"Margaret, remember earlier when you told me that you felt the kiss when I kissed Aurora?"
"Yes, of course. You said that was impossible. Then you said that if it was true that you wouldn't kiss me since mother would feel it as well and you didn't want her pushed even further over the line you think she set." Margaret tells him, more than a little chiding in her tone.
"Yes, well, there is a reason I said that was impossible. There has only been one other time when that has happened in all the history of my people. That only happens when the throne desires the females to be married to the king." The two females are so shocked at his words that they can only stare at him.
Marcus continues, "There are side effects, for lack of a better word, to her meddling. Whether they are good or not will be up to you to interpret."
Marcus takes a breath, this can go sideways on him so fast he doesn't even want to think about what will happen. He closes his eyes and just lets out the breath. Opening his eyes once more he finishes what he needs to say. "If the throne approves of the marriage as she has blatantly done with you two, when I am with one of you the conditions will be met for you both. That means that once I am with the other, two eggs will be fertilized instead of just one. Also, every time we have sex you will get pregnant with in a month of the first child being fertilized.
"We will also have a greater urge to have sex multiple times and more often. So depending on stamina you both could end up with several children by the end of the night.
"Truly there will be no need and indeed no time for me to be with any other females. Also, once we are married and I bind you both to me, I will have you both bind me to you. That will make it so there will be no doubt as to me being with others. I know neither of you have reason to trust my word or the word of any other Lockheartian.
"However, in my case it won't be necessary, if I for whatever reason, decided to cheat on you the throne would punish me, likely taking away their protection leaving me open to attack by my enemies. I won't risk that. But then again I wouldn't break my promise to you both and cheat on either of you. I just want you both to have that insurance."
Aurora is shaking her head trying to make sense of things. "You're saying that you will get both Margaret and I pregnant not once but multiple times tonight, if we continue, and if you have sex with us within a month afterwards that you would add to the child total?"
"Yes, my queen, that is exactly what I'm saying. Don't forget the need to have sex frequently and multiple times a night or day as the case may be."
"Okay, now you've told us. Is there anything else we should know?" Margaret demands. Never having had a child she doesn't understand yet just what being pregnant with multiple children will mean.
Aurora has some idea having been pregnant and having seen humans on the trip here being pregnant with multiples. "I get that, but what happens once we have the children?" Aurora demands. The idea of taking care of several infants at the same time makes her rather ill.
"Remember when I said that there is a transport from Earth due here? I'll take my share of females from them, but instead of making them my whores I'll make them personal servants and place them in charge of the children, especially those that have experience in that area."
"They'll all have experience in that area, all of them will have had at least one child before they reach here. Not all of them will be good caregivers. Before taking them based on looks, interview the personnel that were in charge of the females. Find out which ones took the best care of the children, which ones were overly permissive and which were overly harsh. I have no desire to have bratty children nor do I desire to have my children harshly punished."
"Of course, my queen. Is there any thing else I should ask, or better yet, would you like to help in the interviews? That way you will know the best choices."
"Can Margaret come as well?" Aurora asks very pleased by his consideration of her desires.
"Of course. They will be taking care of her children as well."
"How many will you be allowed, Marcus?" Margaret says his name hesitantly, not sure that she is allowed to do so.
Marcus smiles brightly at her doing so. "You are welcome to call me by name, Margaret. I will be allowed ten to fifteen. If you two are expecting before hand then I'll know whether to get all fifteen or just go for the ten."
Aurora and Margaret are both confused once more, "Why is there doubt of that? Didn't you just finish telling us that the throne would make sure that we would be?" Aurora asks slowly not sure what Marcus wants to hear at this point.
Marcus sighs, "There will be no doubt that you will get pregnant once I take you both to bed. The doubt is whether you will still want me too after what I told you. If you would rather wait until after the weddings I will understand.
"I have enough control that I can wait. It will be a royal pain, very literally, but I will be able to wait. If you choose to start tonight, once I begin there won't be any stopping, not now. You will need to decide that now between the two of you."
Marcus closes his eyes and tries his best to not imagine the images of his queen and princess in bed and waiting for him to take them.
He is having difficulty keeping that image out of his mind.
"We decided when we accepted your gift to us. We want to have you teach us what it should be like between two people. The other one will be watching though."
Marcus swallows hard. Now is not the time to introduce them to the concept of all three of them being together. He's not sure if there will ever be an appropriate time for that. He shoves the thoughts of it down, way down and turns to his future brides.
"Acceptable. Margaret, you will watch this first time. That will make it easier when I take you for the first time."
Margaret swallows suddenly unable to speak she nods.
Marcus's hard won control breaks at this. He moves over to Aurora and starts kissing her.
Margaret's eyes are wide as she witnesses her mother's seduction and is in return seduced. By the time it's her turn she is more than willing and ready for Marcus to do to her what he just did for Aurora.
For hours this continues. Marcus is with both girls twice and as he tries a third, he is able to finish with Aurora but falls into an exhausted sleep before he can continue a third time with Margaret.
The last thing he is able to do is check to find out just how many life sparks he feels from them both.
Aurora has five and Margaret has four. Nine more children. With the five from the other females there is no doubt, he's fathered fourteen children. The throne is blessing him and he is the king.
Marcus falls into an exhausted sleep between the two females. The only thing any of them are wearing are smiles.
