Harem House - Selene Pt. 08

"Yes, Arthur? Is there another problem?" Beth asked, looking up from her computer for a moment.

"No." Arthur shook his head.

Beth looked at him expectantly. She was older than he was, in her early thirties, but not by much. She was working full-time for the Marketing department at the University, and her main job was overseeing all the student workers, which was something she leaned on Arthur to do most of the time. He didn't know what she did with the rest of her time, but she was always busy, so he assumed she must constantly be working on something. She was a beautiful woman with long coltish legs, which made her standard-sized torso look short by comparison. She dressed professionally enough for her job, and her tousled oak-colored hair fell to her breasts. She was always sitting at her desk and rarely ventured out from behind it, and now was no exception.

"So, what do you need?" Beth asked.

"I need to leave early." Arthur explained. "Is that okay?"

"Don't tell me you're tired from moving all those boxes?" Beth teased him. "What are all those muscles for if you can't even do the heavy lifting?"

"I did all the heavy lifting." He answered. "Mindy helped."

"Mindy?" Beth asked.

"Ji-Min." Arthur corrected himself. "She goes by Mindy." He explained.

"Right, right." Beth nodded. "So it's all done?"

"It's all done." Arthur answered. "I just need to go home a bit early. I have a date tonight, and I can't go all hot and sweaty like this."

"Heh." Beth laughed. "I don't know. Some girls like a hot and sweaty guy."

Arthur looked at her for a second, and Beth had the decency to realize she shouldn't have said that. She blushed slightly but nodded. "Fine, fine. Go home. Shower. Pick up some flowers and some wine. Have fun on your date."

"Thanks." Arthur sighed in relief. The potential of not being able to leave early had been stressing him out.

"No problem." Beth nodded, but Arthur was already headed toward the door.

He got to his apartment and threw his clothes into the hamper without ceremony. He was in the shower in a moment and didn't hear his front door open or close. He nearly gave up the ghost when there was a knock on his bathroom door. He gripped the curtain and almost tore it from its rings to steady himself.

"Master?"

He let out a breath.

"Jesus H. Christ." Arthur exclaimed.

"Nope. It's Selene." She giggled. "May I come in?" Selene's voice from the other side of the door was softer this time but still audible.

Arthur let out an exhale. "Yeah, come in."

Selene came in and shut the door behind her. He half expected her to pull the curtain aside and join him, but he also didn't want to get distracted. He was on a schedule.

"Look, Selene. I can't play right now. I'm trying to get ready for my date." He explained.

"Oh, good." Selene's smile was audible in her voice and visible on her face as her head poked through the side of the curtain. Her eyes got distracted as they started low, slowly swept up, and got stuck in several places. He rinsed the soap off his chest as she continued. "I was worried when I saw you came home that you would try and bail."

"No." He explained as he put his head under the water, then pulled it back out. "I just had to leave work early so I could get a shower. I ended up having to move a lot of boxes and things. Didn't want to show up at Kelly's all sweaty."

Selene nodded. "Is there anything I can do to help?" She asked cheerfully.

"You know that dark blue suit I have?" Arthur asked.

Selene nodded, then realized that he couldn't see her as he turned around to rinse the shampoo out of his hair. She admired his backside as he did so for a moment and then said. "Yes. I think so. The one you wore to the graduation ceremony last Spring?"

"That's the one." Arthur took the shower head off the hook and sprayed down his arms to start rinsing off his body properly.

"You want me to pull it out for you?" Selene asked.

"Yeah, just put it on the bed." He nodded as Selene's head disappeared from the gap between the curtain and the shower wall. He finished rinsing, double-checking that he was well cleaned everywhere, turned off the water, and opened the curtain. When he did, he clutched it again and gave another slight exclamation of surprise. Selene was standing there, naked except for her collar holding out his towel for him across both her forearms.

"Didn't hear you come back in." He explained as he shook his head. "Maybe I should put a bell on that collar of yours."

Selene blushed and had the decency to look ashamed of herself as she kept her head down in deference.

"Sorry, Master. I'll try to make some more noise when you're otherwise distracted." The faintest smile tugged at the corner of her mouth. "I laid out your clothes, and I got some wine for you to take with you tonight."

Arthur looked surprised, but he started to dry off. "Oh, uh... you didn't have to do that."

"Not a problem. Kat always has a few bottles on hand. Did you need a white or a red?" Selene asked. "I wasn't sure, so I brought both."

Arthur had to think back to his conversation with Kelly at the gym for a moment. "White." He nodded as he flipped the towel up and started drying his hair. Selene glanced up for a moment to watch him.

"Do you want me to get you off before you go, Master? So you can last longer if you and Kelly decide to get intimate?" Selene moved her eyes back to the floor as Arthur lifted his foot and put it on the tub's edge so he could dry his leg.

"So selfless of you." Arthur smiled. "But no. I don't want to be late."

Selene nodded. "Do you want me to wait here for you in case you want some release if you come home tonight?"

Arthur looked at her funny for a moment, but she didn't look up to see him. She kept her eyes on the bathroom mat he was standing on. Otherwise, she stood in the Wait position with her arms behind her back. She was waiting for his answer, but he didn't give it right away. Instead, he finished drying off, put the wet towel over her head as though she were the hook for it, and gave her nipple a tweak as he groped her breast.

She gasped slightly but did not fall out of position. She held her stance there and waited for his answer. He kept playing. Her nipple stiffened immediately, and she felt herself responding to the attention. She kept her eyes downcast but couldn't help but glance up slightly when she caught the movement of his cock in her vision. He was hardening. She wanted to reach out and stroke it. He could tell, but she was waiting for permission like a good slut should.

"If you want to, you can wait for me here." Arthur finally relented.

"Thank you, Master." Selene said softly.

"I'll text you to let you know when I'm coming back." He was surprised she hadn't moved the towel off her head and shoulders yet, but he didn't say anything about it as he started brushing his teeth and then shaving.

He could feel Selene's eyes on him every once in a while, but she didn't say anything or move. It seemed like she was waiting for permission to do either, but he needed to focus while scraping his razor across his face. A few quick strokes of the razor and a dash of aftershave, he was ready for his date. Or at least, he would be after he dressed.

He sighed and shook his head. "This is so weird."

"What is?" Selene asked, standing there, his towel over her head and shoulders, her breasts and naked body exposed. He groped her breast, and her breath caught.

"This." He laughed, took the towel off her, and hung it up on the back of the bathroom door where it belonged. "This is weird." He admitted. "I'm into it, don't get me wrong. But... it's like I have a full-time slave now." He exited the bathroom, and she followed behind him, her hands held behind her, her chest thrust forward, her shoulders back, her head down, and her eyes watching his heels.

"Do you not want me to be your slave, Master?" Selene asked quietly.

"That's not what I said." Arthur said sternly as he came to the side of his bed. His suit was laid out and waiting for him. On top of it were his socks, boxers, undershirt, and a collared shirt. She'd even gotten his dress shoes, which she left on the floor by his bed, and his black leather belt. "It's just... weird."

"Bad weird?" Selene asked.

"Nice weird. I think." He checked the clock and then turned to look at her. "Nadu, slut."

Selene dropped to her knees, spread them slightly, and sat on her heels with her back straight, her head slightly tilted down, and her hands on her thighs palms up.

"It isn't weird for you?" Arthur asked as he pulled on his boxers.

"No, Master." Selene said softly. "I... I love it. I don't want to do anything else. I just want to be your slave. Your fuck toy. Your pet."

"And my friend?" Arthur asked.

"Of course, Master." Selene said with a smile as she looked up at him.

Arthur laughed. Even when saying she wanted to be his friend, like she was a week ago, she couldn't help but call him Master.

She looked hurt, and he explained.

"Sorry." He said with a shake of his head. "It's just you called me Master, even when saying you wanted to be my friend."

Selene frowned as he continued getting dressed. "I do want to be your friend." She explained. "But I also want to be your slave. I want it more than anything. I... I don't know how else to explain it."

Arthur was silent a moment as he finished getting dressed. Then he sat on the edge of his bed and put his shoes on. Selene watched as he tied his shoes with her eyes on his hands. He looked at her for a moment, kneeling in the Nadu position the way she was. He reached over and cupped her cheek.

"You're a good slave." He said and couldn't help it as his smile grew to match hers. "Did you bring your book bag?"

"No, sir." She answered. "I wasn't sure if you were staying, but I was hoping to convince you to go, so I just came right over when I saw your car pull up."

"Were you watching for me?" Arthur asked curiously.

"No. I was taking out the garbage from the dumpster." Selene said with a slight laugh. "Sorry. I just came over here rather than going back to my apartment. Don't worry, though. I washed my hands."

Arthur nodded and set his feet on the floor before standing up. "Alright." He said. "Can Kat bring you your things?" He asked. "You need to do your homework."

"Yes, Master." Selene smiled. "I'll text her."

"Good girl." Arthur said as he started toward the living room. "Where did you put the wine?" He asked as he patted the side of his leg like signaling a dog. Selene started crawling after him on her hands and knees without a second thought.

"On the table." She answered as she stopped by the pile of her clothes at the end of the coffee table. She fished her phone out from her purse and texted something, he assumed to Kat.

He examined the bottle of white wine for a moment and then picked it up. He checked his pockets, only to find that Selene had already transferred his phone, wallet, and keys to his pockets. He shook his head. "Thank you." He said as he stepped up to her and patted her head. "You're a good slave." He said with a smile. Then he bent down and kissed her on the forehead. "I'll keep you updated."

"Have a good date, Master." Selene said with a smile. She was kneeling in the Nadu position at the end of the coffee table and waiting for him to open the door even though she was in full view of it. "Fuck her hard, Master! Then come back and tell me all about it." Selene smiled.

Arthur laughed, patted her head again, and then checked his wallet. "Oh, that reminds me." He disappeared into the bedroom again.

"Condoms?" Selene asked.

"Condoms." Arthur confirmed. "Thanks for the reminder."

"You're welcome, Master. Now go! Or you'll be late." Selene urged him.

Arthur laughed. "Okay, okay. Should I leave this unlocked for Kat?"

"Yes, sir." Selene answered.

"Okay. I'm off. Be good." Arthur said as he opened the door.

"Of course, Master. I'm a good girl." Selene nodded and lowered her eyes to the carpet as Arthur closed the door behind him.

He paused on the other side of it and looked behind him. It was weird, sure, but it wasn't bad. It was just... different. Selene had really dived into the slave thing all the way. It'd started as a conversation about playing around with it, maybe trying a periodic friend with benefits thing. Still, over the last few days, it'd slowly transitioned into something else entirely.

When he left the parking lot, he saw Kat crossing the lot with Selene's book bag in his rearview. He pulled out onto the road, and then it was just a short drive to Kelly's apartment complex. She'd said her roommate was out of town, but he wasn't sure if that was still the case. He supposed it must be if they were still on for this fancy dinner at her place. He felt guilty that she'd cooked it on her own rather than cooking it together, but if the kitchen was smaller like his, it was probably for the best.

He pulled into her complex five full minutes ahead of schedule. Her apartment complex was much different than his. She was closer to the city, and while his apartment building was only three stories tall, hers was twelve and massive. The buildings were well marked with letters, and he sought out the one she'd told him she lived in before: building B. At least he assumed it was B since her apartment number was B124.

He parked in the visitor parking section of the lot in front of B and checked his phone. Selene had sent him a picture. Her books were in a semi-circle on his living room floor. She was lying face down on the floor behind them, studying, with her calves up in the air behind her, her toes pointed toward the ceiling. She was entirely nude, though the carpet hid her front. Her butt was perfectly displayed with just a hint of red blushing from her many spankings. Arthur couldn't help the smirk that grew across his face and the feeling that stirred in him when he saw the photo. Beneath it, her messaging continued.

Slut: See? Studying, like a good girl.

Arthur laughed and messaged her back.

Master: Good girl. When you finish all your current homework, you can masturbate until you cum. One orgasm with the vibrator.

Slut: Thank you, Master!

Arthur shook his head and stuck his phone in his pocket. He took a deep breath and looked up at the building that loomed over him. For a moment, he thought about starting the car and returning home. He didn't know what was going on with Selene, or he did, but he wasn't sure how he felt about it. She claimed she just wanted to be friends with benefits. She wanted to be his slave, his slut, and she wanted him to go on this date. How would Kelly feel about that? More importantly, how did he feel about that?

Selene was a good friend and someone he enjoyed spending time with even before they added this layer to their friendship. Now, he had a hard time wanting to spend time with anyone else. On the other hand, he'd liked Kelly for a while, and he thought she was gorgeous and sexy, and they had a lot in common, including their sense of humor. He loved her laugh and the way she got excited over the little things in life that she was passionate about.

That wasn't even thinking about whatever his lunch with Kat was supposed to be tomorrow. Selene had called it a date, but he was pretty sure she was teasing him. He was pretty confident Kat was going to chew him out about what was going on with Selene, but they said they'd talked, and she was okay with it. So he had no idea what was happening with that or her.

Mindy was another complication, having asked him out of the blue to go bowling for a date on Sunday. He didn't know how he'd gone from one second date with a girl, tonight's date with Kelly, to having a seemingly full-time sex slave and three dates in one weekend. Four women. With that kind of luck, maybe he should buy a lottery ticket. Or, perhaps he shouldn't press his luck and just go home.

He took another deep breath, picked up his phone, and texted Kelly.

Arthur: I'm here! On my way up!

Kelly: Right on time! See you in a minute!

Arthur got out of his car. He'd never been here before. He wasn't sure if Kelly would have to buzz him in or not. He got to the front door of the building and found it locked. There was an intercom, and he saw Kelly's apartment number. He buzzed it, but there was no answer. He frowned and tried again after a few seconds. There was still no answer. Then he looked up to see why. Kelly was coming toward him from the other side of the glass door to let him in.

He looked surprised to see her, and he was, but he was more surprised to see her dressed up the way she was. They'd said they would dress up tonight, and Arthur had followed through, but it was his first time seeing Kelly in something other than athletic or casual clothes. She had her long red hair done up in curly waves and pinned back slightly, a full face of well-applied makeup, and wore a blue cocktail dress that had a fitted waist and flared skirt that reached the top of her calves, and a plunging sweetheart neckline. Its capped sleeves covered her shoulders but otherwise bared her arms.

He thought she was a ten when she was dressed in gym clothes. He was pretty sure his heart actually stopped when he saw her, but he remembered how to breathe by the time she opened the door, and he hoped he hadn't done anything embarrassing like look half as gobsmacked as he felt.

"Welcome to my apartment building." Kelly said with a smile as she held the door open for him. He took it and moved inside, following her lead. Her heels clacked on the floor as she led the way back to the elevator. She pressed the button, and it opened immediately. He followed her inside, she pressed the button for the twelfth floor, the doors shut, and the elevator started to move.

Arthur swallowed, looked over to her as he stood facing the elevator doors, and finally managed to say: "Hi."

Kelly smiled. "Well, hello there." She teased him. "You look nice. New suit?"

"No." Arthur shook his head. "Just one I save for special occasions."

She closed her lips, but they soon curled into a smile as she took the information as a compliment.

"You brought wine?" Kelly asked.

Arthur held up the bottle. "Yeah, nothing too fancy, but I couldn't come empty-handed."

She looked at the bottle he held up and read the label. "It'll pair nicely with dinner, which is almost done, by the way." Kelly said with a slight nod.

"Good." Arthur said with a nod. "You look really nice, by the way."

"Thank you." Kelly said with a smile as the elevator doors opened onto the twelfth floor. "You look pretty nice yourself, but I believe I already said that." She smiled and led the way out of the elevator and down the hallway.

Apartment 124 was the second door on the right, after 122, with 121 and 123 on the left from the elevator. She didn't hesitate at the door but opened it and moved behind it to hold it open for him. He stepped through, and she closed it behind him, locking it and pulling the chain as she did so. Then she came around in front of him, gestured for the bottle of wine, took it, and walked swiftly to place it in a bucket of ice on the table.

The aroma of roasted herbs, chicken, and potatoes filled the open floorplan of the apartment as he stepped into it. Her front door opened up into a living room that was surprisingly nice for a college apartment. It and the kitchen were part of the same room, more or less, with the kitchen against the far wall. A small kitchen table set for two divided it from the living room, as well as the difference between the lush beige living room carpet and the dark pine hardwood floors of the kitchen.

The table had a red table cloth and two places formally set with cloth napkins on opposite sides, with the head and foot of the table pointed toward the two side walls. Candles in glass candle sticks were placed but unlit.
