Ninovan (Hypernaturals 10)

Ready

I stood in the kitchen, sipping cold brew coffee, and thinking about the night. Morgan has been willing to cross some lines I did not expect to heal Jessica. In fact: All the rest of them. They are lovers now. No more things (that they like) that they have not done with each other.

I got up first, and as I was on the outside of the pile instead of my normal between Jessica and Morgan, I had scooted down and headed to the kitchen. On the way here I stopped to look at Jessica and Morgan intertwined. Morgan took loving Jessica back from the edge very seriously. I like that, but it also felt a little odd to not be in the middle of things. Jessica needs that love, so I cannot in any way be envious of her extra attention. Only envious that Morgan is able to give it. That as a male, like Alexander, I have been relegated to a supporting role. Up to a point. I reclaimed some of my 'I can love you too' position in the family last night, even as I also went astray in some ways. Angel and Vera. Sigh.

This all started because of the sexual/gender preference imbalance. Morgan mentally allowed herself to be with Jessica in every way to try to heal her. The problem, and the one Jessica sort of set out to fix, is me. I am just one man. When the time comes, I need to be ready to cross that same line. Not just with the idea of another man in bed which I can deal with and have already, but that man perhaps wanting to touch me.

Morgan became polyamorous not because that was her life's dream but to be with me. Now she gave up a major fraction of her heterosexuality, at least in practice, for Jessica. Morgan taught both Jessica and me things about love in the process. Jessica is going to heal from this and come out new. I need to step up when my turn comes. I cannot dishonor Morgan by not.

It is hard to not feel unworthy after seeing and feeling that healing love from the person who is normally brains of the operation. That kind of love is humbling.

Vera and Angel are snuggled together on our bed too. This makes sense given the sex last night. Why get up and leave after all of that?

It is funny that Vera is on that same trajectory as Morgan, but for an utterly different reason. Her Siren nature compelled by Angel's Astral one. Angel loves Vera deeply. Of that, I have no doubt. I worry that for Vera, Angel might be someone she can 'adapt' to. That her natural Siren attraction could fade over time. I can't borrow trouble on that front though. All the external signs point to Vera being as in love with Angel as Morgan is with Jessica. Sometimes one has to wait and see what comes next.

After the group bath and the drinking, there had been a great deal of co-mingled group sex. I never ended up with Vera, nor did Vera end up with Jessica or Morgan.

Well. OK. I may have kissed on Vera when I was with Angel. After she woke up from the fanging (and Morgan and Jessica were at it again) I made sure I did not take Angel back to the place she passed out another time, so that Vera was not left high and dry with an unconscious lover. Vera had taken a few liberties along the way. Assisting me in making love to Angel in ways that probably technically I knew how to do. In a repeat of an earlier layout, I nearly pushed Angel over the edge and into her blackout place when she was orally pleasuring Vera, and I snuck up behind her. It was a close thing.

"That is fucking hot. Again." Vera said of that close call.

Vera came down into the kitchen from the master bedroom bleary-eyed and looked at my cup. "Is that coffee?"

I poured her some, and she microwaved it. I like it cold.

We stood there sipping and looked each other over. I flashed on all her 'accidental' slips of the hands, and where I took her proffered breasts to my greedy mouth as Angel and I made love. Despite my earlier refusal about this, including Vera felt right at that moment, somehow. I fanged Angel intimately, thus risking her turn. I wonder if Vera wanted that too, but I kept fangs 'sheathed'. In the morning light, I could see the hickeys I left there.
