Harem House - Selene Pt. 22

"So..." Kelly said after a lull in the conversation. She'd been thinking about the story of his office trysts, and what he did with the other girls. "I've been meaning to ask you..."

"Yeah?" Arthur prompted.

"Well, the girls and I talked, and I know you're... you're more into the BDSM stuff with them." Kelly explained. "At least, more than with me. Other than spanking, which I guess counts." She shrugged. "But I was wondering, how did you get introduced to it? How do you know what to do?"

"The short answer to both is Lori." Arthur said. Arthur smiled at the mention of his ex-girlfriend, but his eyes told Kelly it wasn't genuine.

Kelly looked a little surprised. She knew Lori. They hadn't talked since the summer, but she'd known Lori the entire time she was friends with Arthur or thereabouts. She never guessed Lori was like Selene. She couldn't remember Lori even hinting about it, and they'd talked about her and Arthur's bedroom activities more than once.

"You and Lori used to..." Kelly wasn't sure how to finish the sentence, so she was glad when Arthur didn't make her.

Arthur nodded and told the story. "Yeah. We were talking one day, and well, we started discussing porn. She asked me what kind I watched, and I asked her what kind she watched."

"And you were watching bondage stuff?" Kelly asked.

Arthur laughed. "No, actually. I was, uh... into girl next door porn before Lori and I started dating pretty straightforward stuff."

He shrugged. "Lori dove deeper, and when she suggested we try it... well, we tried it and - I liked it. A lot. So did she. So we practiced. We called it playing." He explained.

"And, wanting to be the best possible boyfriend she ever had so she wouldn't leave me-" which she did. "I spent more time studying bondage stuff online that semester than I did studying for my exams." He chuckled. "But... it was worth it, I guess."

"Do you miss her?" Kelly asked suddenly, after watching his face while he talked about Lori.

Arthur contemplated it. "I mean... yeah." He admitted. "I wouldn't go running back to her." Arthur assured her. "But we were close. She was my best friend for years - more than that, obviously. And losing her like that, when she left me rather than try to do long-distance... it hurt."

Kelly reached across the table, took his hand, and squeezed it.

Arthur tried to reassure her. "I'm okay. It hurt, but everything worked out. After all, if I was still with Lori, I wouldn't be here having dinner with you."

Kelly smirked. "Fair point." She supposed. "Lori wasn't into poly then?"

"No." Arthur shook his head. "At least she wasn't interested in group stuff or threesomes. She wasn't like... the super-jealous type, but I don't think she'd have invited you all to a harem either."

Kelly chuckled. "God bless Selene."

Arthur smiled in agreement. "Yeah." He nodded. He squeezed Kelly's hand. "Do you want dessert?"

Kelly let go and leaned back in her chair. "Is that a euphemism, or do you have dessert?"

"I honestly have dessert." Arthur chuckled. "Two cheesecake slices and some cool whip."

Kelly smiled. "Cheesecake sounds good to me, Mister."

Kat was eager to get out of the car when they finally arrived at the bar. Driving had been easy, but traffic was thick. Now, they were close enough to see the bar's lights as they approached since darkness had swept over the sky.

"Okay, girls." Katelyn said as they arrived. "Your mission is to find me a cute guy who is decently fit and seems safe."

"Pfft." Rani blew through her mouth. "If you just want to fuck a guy, I'm sure Selene would pimp out Arthur to anyone who asks."

Katerine glared at Rani, who blanched at Kat's anger. "What?" Rani asked.

Selene shrugged. "I mean, if you want to fuck Arthur, and he wants to fuck you..." She trailed off after seeing Kat's angry glare turn her way.

"No." Katelyn shook her head. "No, thank you. I don't want to join your sex cult."

"It's not a--" Kat started but stopped herself. She took a deep breath and exited the car. She stretched and stepped carefully a few paces before finding her stride. Rani and Selene did the same. Katelyn shrugged, rolling her shoulders. The car ride didn't seem that long to her, but she wouldn't hold it against them if they were stiff.

"I'm teasing you, Kitty Kat." Katelyn put her hands on Kat's shoulders, and Kat patted her hand.

Kat smiled. "I know. Don't worry. We'll scout for you."

Rani shrugged. "How about that guy?" She pointed to a random man approximately their age standing by the door. He had a cowboy hat on, a white t-shirt, jeans, and a pair of work boots.

Kat followed her finger to the guy, and her face became a tight line. "Oh, you've got to be fuckin' kidding me."

Rani looked surprised. Katelyn and Selene looked over to see who she'd pointed out. Selene didn't recognize the young man, but Kat did. "What's Sean doing here?"

"He's apparently out on the prowl, I guess." Katelyn huffed. "Is he alone?"

"Looks it." Rani said. "That's your ex?"

Katelyn nodded while Rani considered their options. Rani looked at Selene, then at Kat. "Well... I guess we can go elsewhere..." Rani suggested, though their outfits weren't curated for another bar. "Or... we can fuck with him?"

"Ooo." Selene said. "Interesting." She smirked at Rani. "What'd you have in mind?"

"One of us could seduce him to leave him with blue balls." Rani suggested.

"Well, he knows me and Katelyn." Katerine said. "So it'd have to be one of you two."

"I could..." Rani hesitated. "But I want to get laid tonight." She turned toward Selene.

"I could try." Selene shrugged. "I'm not planning on sleeping with anyone tonight."

Katelyn considered the plan. "She could, but then we would have to leave her alone with him, which won't work."

"She's right." Selene agreed. "I'd prefer to stick together."

"Then fuck it. We're going in and sticking together. Are you bi, by any chance?" Rani asked Katelyn.

"I mean... I've kissed a girl or two before at a party." Katelyn admitted.

"Never sober?" Rani asked.

Katelyn signaled her no by shaking her head.

"Well, we won't do any flashy PDA then." Rani offered Katelyn her hand. "But you're gonna get to smash that man's hopes and dreams tonight." She assured her. "And if we're lucky, we're gonna find someone else to fuck you and maybe me while we're at it." She shrugged.

"Your cult leader is okay with you fucking other guys?" Katelyn asked. The surprise and curiosity triggered by Rani's statement removed the threat of Sean. They had stopped and were standing behind a van, out of his view. They weren't hiding, but they weren't in sight, either.

"Stop calling it a sex cult." Kat interjected. "I'm serious, Pussy Kat."

Rani looked back and forth between the Kats and snorted with laughter. "You call her Kitty Kat, and she calls you Pussy Kat?" She asked.

"We're the Kats." Katelyn said it in such a way that she assumed it explained everything.

"We reserve those names for our use only." Katerine interjected in case Rani or Selene got any ideas. "You can't call us that."

Rani held up her hands in surrender. "Okay. Don't shoot Cowgirl." She smirked. "I think it's cute you have little pet names for each other. That's real BFF shit."

"Well, we have our pet names, too, right, Queenie?" Selene nudged Rani, who smiled back at her.

Rani glanced at Katelyn's face, but Katelyn giggled. Rani smiled at Selene. "Absolutely, Slut."

"Can I call you that, too?" Katelyn asked. "Or is that an inside joke?"

"Oh, no joke." Kat assured her. "She's a total slut. It's what we in the harem call her."

"You call your sex cult a harem?" Katelyn asked.

Kat rolled her eyes and looked at Katelyn like she was stupid. Katelyn had to admit it was a foolish question. The answer was there in the context.

"Not a cult. A sisterhood." Selene corrected her this time. "But don't worry. Tonight, you're an honorary sister." She nodded toward the door.

"Not sure you can call it a sisterhood with Arthur in it." Katelyn pointed out.

"Oh, he's not in the harem." Rani said. "We keep him around to run things and fuck. We're the team. He's the coach."

"Right..." Katelyn appeared uncertain.

"So, are we going in?" Selene interrupted. "Or are we trying our luck somewhere else?"

Rani held her hand out to Katelyn, offering it to her.

Katelyn stared at it, took her hand, and nodded. "Let's do this."

She nodded to Rani, and together, the four started walking again. Rani and Katelyn pressed together as they swept toward the door, still holding hands, while Katelyn refused to look in Sean's direction.

Selene watched him and saw his emotions flare across his face. She smirked. Tonight was going to be fun. She only hoped Master turned on their vibes soon. They were awkward, with no action happening.

Selene passed through the door as Katerine held it open for her, and she saw Sean turn away and walk into the parking lot.

"So..." Kelly hesitated again as she and Arthur ate their cheesecake slices. "What uh... How should I start learning about this bondage stuff?"

Arthur looked up and smirked. "Well, I could send you some blog links, instructional videos, that kind of thing. Or... I guess I could teach you firsthand."

"Would I be able to learn much if you're tying me up instead of teaching me how to tie someone else up?" Kelly asked with a smirk.

"Well, being tied up is always good for you to know how it feels. That way, when you dominate someone, you can know what they might be experiencing." Arthur admitted. "But I'm sure if I suggested to any of the girls that you join us for their next bondage session, they'd all be more than happy to have you learning on them. Except Kat."

Kelly took a few seconds to consider it. "I'm not sure I'll have time in my schedule, but both sound good at some point." She admitted with no firm commitment. "I'm still not sure how I feel about the idea of 'dominating' anyone. I enjoy you taking the lead and dominating me." Kelly bit into another bite of her cheesecake and slid the fork between her lips. "I'd like to know more about this kinky stuff either way if Selene's going to keep calling me Mistress."

Arthur nodded but was silent as he ate his cheesecake. Then, he looked thoughtful. "What brand of kink are you most interested in?" He asked.

Kelly didn't have to think about it. "I don't know what my options are, honestly."

"Not big into bondage porn?" Arthur asked.

Kelly laughed. "No. Massage porn has always been my thing."

Arthur nodded. "Good to know."

Kelly smirked at him and took a playful bite of cheesecake. "Seriously though, I don't know about any of that stuff. I'd need you to teach me, Mister."

"I can do that." Arthur said, doing his best to appear calm and collected, trying to ignore the warmth spreading across his face and the blood flowing directly toward his crotch. "I have a..." He needed to develop a better name for it, but for now, he just called it "a Checklist." He explained. "I can go over it with you if you want. Find out what you're interested in, what you might enjoy?"

Kelly weighed her options. "I might not know enough about it to decide." She warned him. "But..." She toyed with a piece of cheesecake with her fork and crossed her legs as she sat back. "Okay."

"You okay if I pull up my phone?" Arthur asked.

Kelly smiled and nodded. She watched as Arthur pulled his phone out, unlocked the screen, flipped through a few apps, hit a few buttons, and then pulled up a Google Doc. She watched his face as he read over it and looked back at her with a smile.

"You want to move to the sofa? Maybe have some wine?" Arthur asked.

Kelly smiled at him. "Okay, but I still want to do the French Maid roleplay, so don't get too frisky."

Arthur smirked, feeling confident and taking Rani's advice on being more dominant outside the bedroom again. "You can have multiple orgasms tonight. I'll get as frisky as I want."

Kelly appeared surprised, but then her lips pressed together and broke into a smile. She nodded, approving his statement. "Yes, Sir."

She watched him get up from the table. He put the dishes in the sink but didn't wash them. Instead, he topped off her wine and picked up her glass, moving them to the living room.

Kelly took one corner. Arthur looked as though he would take the other, but he surprised her by twisting and reclining on the sofa. He crossed his legs, placed his feet in her lap, his heels against her thighs, and pulled up his phone again. She took her wine from him with one hand and started massaging his sock-clad feet with the other while he read out the list.

~~~

Rani was at the bar, still holding Katelyn's hand, when she felt the vibe inside her activate. The vibe was, thankfully, quiet. Not that it made much difference with the band's volume blasting away most other sounds. Still, she squeezed Katelyn's hand at the surprise, causing Katelyn to look back at her.

The live band played a catchy, upbeat country song about summer and beer. The whole place smelled of dry peanuts and salt, with the faint tang of leather wafting through. Rani's squeeze on Katelyn's hand was the only sign of something wrong, but seeing Rani was okay, Katelyn squeezed back. Gentle vibrations started as a low hum inside Rani. She bit her lip but finished her order for a margarita despite the distraction.

Then Rani's vibrations faded, and Selene's kicked on, and then Kat. There was a cycle at play with the app. Selene smiled widely, standing not too far away to watch the band. Kat stood next to her and didn't appear happy, but she seemed to chill after she adjusted to it.

The vibrations started and stopped in brief intervals, starting up incrementally stronger each time. Arthur must be having fun, and Rani wondered what he and Kelly were doing.

Katelyn, oblivious to their plight, kept looking back toward the front door. Sean hadn't come in yet, and plenty of scenarios played through her head. She wondered if he was there to meet his side bitch or if that girl ditched him. Katelyn knew little regarding Sean's affair and didn't want to learn more. She had no wish to talk to him again and hoped he'd left.

Imagining his arrival with that bitch, she considered her potential reactions. Perhaps she wasn't being fair. She didn't ask who seduced whom, but she blamed Sean. Guys always instigated cheating, didn't they? Sean had a girlfriend but didn't appreciate her. He'd gotten greedy. He wanted something more or different from what she offered, so he snuck around like a bastard. She couldn't believe she thought he would propose soon. He'd dropped so many hints; now it was all gone because she'd surprised him. No, because he'd cheated on her.

She honestly didn't know how Kelly or the other girls did it. How were they okay with their guy sleeping with other women? How did they keep from getting jealous? It was unnatural. Love was supposed to be between two people, right? A man and a woman loved each other, or two men or two women; she wasn't a bigot. If their romance went well, they married to declare their love to the world. How would that work for Selene, Kelly, Kat, Rani, that other girl, and Arthur? They couldn't all get married. There were laws.

Katelyn tried shouting over the music to Selene. "Hey! How do you-"

"Oh shit! That's strong." Rani yelled as she jerked and spilled her drink. She let go of Katelyn's hand. Katelyn turned away from Selene to see what was wrong.

Rani supported herself on the bar and looked wide-eyed at Selene as the bartender used a handful of napkins to mop up the spill.

"Sorry!" Rani said. "I just slipped a little."

"We should get a booth!" Katerine said over the music.

Rani gave her a thumbs-up for approval, and Selene led the way to a booth. Katelyn redirected them to a different booth, one in the corner. They wouldn't have a great view of the band, but the door remained in line of sight.

Torn momentarily, Selene relented and followed Katelyn to the corner booth. Rani relaxed as soon as they sat, but Selene jumped like something bit her just after she slid in.

"You okay?" Katelyn asked.

Selene gave her a thumbs-up. "Yep!"

~~~

"Ready?" Arthur asked.

Kelly nodded.

Arthur raised an eyebrow at her, and Kelly looked confused for a second, then blushed and lowered her gaze. "Yes, Sir."

"Good girl." Arthur smirked. "Let's see. I know you enjoy costumes and roleplay already, right?"

"Yes, Sir." Kelly agreed. She set her wine on the coffee table and started massaging his feet with both hands.

"And you seem to like it when I spank you." Arthur pointed out.

Kelly bit her lip and nodded. "Yes, Sir." She chuckled. "I actually wanted you to spank me Wednesday night, but you never did."

"Our first group experience wasn't the right time." Arthur admitted. "But who knows? The maid might need a spanking later if I'm dissatisfied with her performance."

"Oh, I'm sure you'll have to spank her." Kelly assured him. "She'll surely mess up; if not, you can make something up. She won't know the difference."

Arthur smirked. "Absolutely." His smirk widened into a half grin. "How about playing in public?" Arthur asked. "Like if I were to take you outside to spank you?"

Kelly considered that momentarily. "I guess it depends." She admitted. "Outside is fine and could even be sexy, but involving people I haven't met or who aren't in the harem who might see us..." She shrugged. "I'd try it if you wanted to, but I wouldn't suggest it. If that makes sense."

Arthur nodded. "Makes perfect sense, and if we ever do that, I'll make sure no one gets in trouble." He assured her. "And sex outside, you'd be okay with that, you said?"

"If the weather's nice?" She shrugged. "Sure. I could see a day, laying out by the pool or up at the lake, getting you hot and bothered, leading you into a cool patch of shade, laying you down, and riding you until I can't take the pleasure anymore."

Both of them saw Arthur's physical reaction to her words. He adjusted himself and continued, determined to finish his list of questions before getting too distracted.

"Do you like being tied up in ropes or restraints?" Arthur asked. "Does that turn you on?"

"I'm not sure. No one's tied me up before." Kelly admitted. "I'm curious but not excited. Does that make sense? The concept intrigues me but doesn't turn me on, though I still want to see if doing it will."

Arthur nodded. "I get that."

"It helps that there's less pressure, honestly." Kelly admitted. "I know if I don't love a kink, it's okay because one of the others will do that kink for you. It's okay if something isn't our thing. Kinda nice."

"I agree." Arthur realized she made sense.

Kelly didn't have to pretend to want something if she didn't enjoy it. Selene, Kat, and Mindy seemed to enjoy bondage enough for everyone. Rani seemed to enjoy kink, too. Kelly's lack of experience might make her the odd woman out, but she trusted the others not to judge her too harshly. She knew the harem was dedicated to its no judgment rule.

"On the other hand..." Kelly looked thoughtful, and Arthur waited for her to continue. "I guess I'm worried about not doing something everyone wants. The other girls want me to lead, but how can I be team captain of the harem if I don't take part in or appreciate what they enjoy?"

"Don't worry about anybody else." Arthur said to assure her. "This is about you and your fantasies."

"And you and your fantasies." Kelly pointed out.

"No." Arthur corrected her. "I know my fantasies. You don't need to worry over them." He smirked. "Now, how does wearing bondage gear under your clothes at class or work sound? Stealthy sexy stuff?" Arthur asked.

"Like the lingerie I'm wearing?" Kelly asked. Her tone suggested intrigue.
