Amara took a long piece of yarn and held it up with both hands. Her thoughts had turned dirty. "Mermista, how long is your man?"
Mermista and her two sisters turned pink and laughed. "I am not telling you that!"
Marika said, "Oh come on, Mista, tell us how well endowed is he?"
Mermista shook her head, "I could ask the same about Jordan. You can't hide your pregnancy much longer."
Meranda said, "We're all old enough to talk about sex. We've all had it, well Amara's had toys, but it counts I guess."
Amara spoke up, "It does count in a lesbian relationship."
Mermista then said, "Sebastian's personal information is for only me to know." She didn't hide her smile. "Let's just say he fits me perfectly."
Burning ears wanted to spit smoke and fire. King Mercia had not wanted to walk in on the women upon hearing this conversation. He'd brought them a plate of cookies. He quietly put them down and heavily sighed. Hearing that his daughter had intimate relations had him furious.
First he was going to confront Sebastian.

King Mercia stalked down the hallway, pushing open doors and heading down to the beach area around the castle. He dove angrily into the water and swam like a hungry shark was after him.
I was helping to load some empty barrells onto the boat. We were about to set sail for deep sea fishing.
Jordan was just about to untie the rope from the dock when he saw someone. He stared at the tall, dark bearded man. The look on King Mercia's face was intense. His eyes looked like dark caramel in the light.
"Sea-SeaHaw-Hawk." Jordan nervously said. "King Mercia rarely comes ashore, man. What did you do?"
I turned to see Mermista's father looking quite scary. I jumped in my skin. "Jordan, it's gonna be a few minutes." I said as I heard the man growl. His long dark blue and black hair was around his face. He stopped inches way from me.
"Sebastian, let's talk." I walked with him a few feet away. Then his voice boomed like a speaker at full volume in my ears, "How could you! She's sixteen years old! Sixteen!"
I stared at him - very scared.
King Mercia lowered his voice a little bit. "I heard the girls talking about sex."

My face was likely some shade of red now. "Oh," was the only word I could manage to say.
"When did it happen? Tell me!" King Mercia roared.
I sounded like a scared mouse. "My birthday." I squeaked out. "Aug-August fourth, sir."
"So that's how you lured my ONLY daughter into sleeping with you?"
I held up my hands in defense. "Sir, I did not lure her in any sort of way. She wanted it long before we made love. I made sure she was safe for herself first. She's on the pill and I have protection. I would never take advantage of your beautiful daughter!"
"You still slept with her!" He yelled.
I yelled back, "I love her!" King Mercia was surprised with my volume. He stepped back. "I love your daughter more than anything in this world and you know it!"
"You couldn't have waited?" He yelled at me.
"We wanted to. Does Mermista even know that you're here?" I asked him.
