Finding Home Ch. 12

Cassy pulled on her new leather pants, jacket and stomped her feet into her boots. Soon they were all standing in front of the front doors of the huge house while Nathan unlocked the door. "It shouldn't be too bad. I have a maintenance company come out annually to clean and repair anything that may have broken down."

The house seemed to go on forever. Cassy was reminded of the dream she had where she had walked endlessly from one room to another. The big house had three stories and a basement. There was a central portion with a large common room almost ballroom sized, a huge kitchen was behind that. Servant quarters were behind that.

As they walked back through the biggest empty room, Nathan paused. "This was the dining room for the big parties in the old days. I used to ride my bike in here. My mother wouldn't let me ride outside because I might get too much sun." His voice was bitter. Cassy stroked his back.

There were two wings off the center. "One was my mother's and the other was my father's. They could go weeks without ever seeing each other." Each wing had a smaller living areas, salons and offices on the first floor and the second and third floors were set up in bedroom suites. The basement was finished and stood empty.

Jesus was enthusiastic. "This place is huge. We could all fit in here easy and have room to ride bikes too. Cam you could have a whole wing for your zoo. You could use a the basement to build your dungeon. We could build a nice gym in our side of the basement and I would like a music studio."

Cam's voice was musing, "It would take a lot of work, and a hell of a lot of money."

Jesus laughed. "I like work and Nathan has the money angle sewed up. He's been sitting on his inheritance like an old hen for years. He doesn't even spend half the money he makes off the bookstores."

Nathan laughed. "I have a vision of my ancestors watching me use their money to remodel this place into a hedonistic pleasure palace. A lot of old Jewish robber barons are spinning in their graves as we speak."

Cassy said softly. "Not a pleasure palace. A home. My home."

Cassy woke early. Today was the big day. Jesus was doing the last walk through with the contractors. The remodeling had been a nightmare. Jesus had insisted on rewiring almost all the electrical and replacing a lot of the plumbing. The kitchen was all new fixtures. They had walled off two floors of one wing and that portion of the basement for the clinic. It had taken almost six months.

Each of them had a whole bedroom suite. Cam had said that it would be best if they each had a private space to retreat to.

She came out her suite. She was looking forward to having the workers finished and out of the place. She was so fucking tired of wearing clothes. Nathan was usually in his new office on the phone with some of the bookstore people this time of day. Cassy looked out at the front yard, both Cam's and Jesus's motorcycles were parked out front but they could be anywhere.

That was her only complaint about this place. It was so easy to lose people. She walked down to the kitchen. To her delight Momma was already there bustling busily getting things ready for the big dinner party they were planning to celebrate the official finish of the remodeling.

Cassy and Nathan had moved into the big house a couple of weeks early so Mia could take over the carriage house.

"Good morning Momma. Today is the big day."

"Finally. The contractors are with Jesus and Cam over in the clinic. Then they are going to Nathan's office to finish signing the paper work. Who is going to go pick up Windy? Her last class is over at noon."

"I am, Cam is loaning me his car." Cassy still looked for every excuse to drive. It had been hard to convince Nathan to let her learn. He had worried more than any parent of a teenager as Jesus taught her to drive.

Windy had insisted that the party should be formal. Cassy was pretty sure it was so they could buy new dresses. Windy had increasingly become part of the little family. It seemed like her little tantrums of falsehoods and self harm were becoming increasingly infrequent. Jesus kept pretty close tabs on her. Cassy knew that his heavy hand on Windy's ass on an almost nightly basis was keeping her a very happy girl.

Oddly it seemed like Cam's rooms were where everyone gathered every night. He kept protesting that his bed wasn't big enough for all of them but then Jesus had ordered a crazy big custom made thing and sneaked it in one day for a joke. They ended up putting it in the connecting suite that was standing empty. That way on the rare occasions when everyone wanted to play, they just moved the party next door.

Cassy pulled up in Cam's little two seater Beamer and collected Windy right after her last class of the day. Windy had a couple of semesters left before she was done with her nursing degree. She was still living at the old clinic in town along with Acadia. William had gotten an apartment and Cam said he was doing pretty good. Jesus spent most nights in town with Windy and commuted on his bike to supervise the workers remodeling the house during the day.

"How was school?"

"Same old, same old. I swear half the stuff they insist you memorize is a complete waste of my time. Its like they just do it to make us suffer."

"Only a couple of more semesters to go. And then I know this doctor. He might have a job for a nurse willing to work with his unconventional treatment methods."

"Sounds freaky. Like me."

"You will fit right in. Jesus calls it Cam's zoo."

"Oh I have heard him."

The dresses had taken Cassy and Windy a lot of days of shopping to find exactly the right thing. Cassy had ended up with a light blue halter dress that was of the softest shimmery silk. Windy had chosen a Chinese inspired scarlet silk number with a daring slit clear up to her hip. They spent almost all afternoon fixing up their hair and Cassy even let Windy put on some make up on her face.

After putting on the lip gloss Windy gave Cassy a kiss. Cassy was comfortable with Windy's touching now. She preferred the attention from her men, but found that being with a woman had its charms. She loved having Windy join in with the play in Cam's rooms. She found it very erotic to watch as her lovers would entangle and writhe in what she had started to call love knots.

As she and Windy walked down together she reflected on how wonderful her life was. As the two girls walked into the dining room the three men stood and clapped. Cassy took Windy's hand and they both curtsied and laughed. Dinner was already on the table and Momma came out looking radiant in a long dark blue velvet gown.

As soon as they sat down, Cam stood again and proposed a toast. "To family, to home." They raised their champagne glasses. Cassy looked around at the faces of the people who had become her family. Her heart swelling with emotion. She raised her glass. "To love."

They all raised their glasses, "To love."

After dinner Momma asked Windy to come help with something in the kitchen but when Cassy tried to come along Nathan put his hand over hers. "Stay here Cassy." He looked at Jesus and Cam. "We have something we want to talk to you about."

Cassy started to sit back down but again he stopped her. "Give me your hand Cassy." She let him take her hand and lead her a way from the table. Jesus and Cam followed close behind. "Stand here little one." Cassy stood nervously, wondering what was happening.

Nathan knelt down in front of her, Jesus and Cam kneeling on either side. Cassy stood looking down at them, her lips trembling. Nathan's voice was shaky with nerves. "Cassy Chambers would you consent to be our wife?" Cassy felt her eyes filling with tears.

She dropped to her knees, her voice dropping into her little girl whisper for the first time in months. "Yes, yes I will marry all of you but I have some requests."

Nathan looked at her and smiled. He whispered back at her. "What do you want little one?"

"I don't want to be the only wife person around here. You guys better get me some sister wives. And Windy better be next."

Jesus nodded. "We kind of have been planning that already."

"Nathan must always be my Master."

Nathan nodded. "OK I agree to that."

"I want to have babies. I want to have all your babies. Nathan, I want you to get your vasectomy reversed."

Nathan's lips tightened and his eyes filled with tears. Cassy touched his face. "I want your baby Nathan. I don't care if it is beautiful like you or beautiful like me."

His voice was hoarse. "OK if you are there with me I can do that."

"Then yes, yes I will marry you."

Nathan reached into his pocket and taking her hand he carefully pushed a ring onto her finger. "Welcome home."

As I finished this story I found myself very much thinking about Cassy and Nathan and how they came to be together. I have written a prequel call "Lost in the Wind" that I will post next.

Thank you for reading this story. I very much enjoyed writing it. For me writing a story is always an adventure. The story writes itself. I am constantly amazed by what just seems to happen. Please do me the kindness of giving me feedback, public or private. It keeps me writing.
