Chronicles of Eden - Act 2 (59 page)

“Well, it’s nice to know that you do have an actual heart deep down inside,” she pointed out gently. Falla glanced to her with a scowl then looked away while crossing her arms stubbornly.

“You speak as if I’m a Darker One or something, I’m not some heartless monster you know,” she scoffed.

“Well, not entirely anyway,” Triska replied before looking around the area again, only seeing passing trees and countryside as Lucky kept running along the trail at a steady pace.

‘Still, I guess you’re not so bad after all.’

Inside the caravan Squeak’s eyebrow twitched slightly with growing ire as she watched Specca slowly and gently resting her head on Daniel’s shoulder and Alyssa carefully holding onto Daniel’s arm while cuddling up against him. Daniel of course had at this point noticed that both girls were getting extremely close to him, however wasn’t sure what to say or do. He could feel Specca’s tail slowly sliding behind him against his rear while the nixie had her head resting on his shoulder, and felt a sense of comfort as the girl was trying to get as close to him as she could. He even felt some happiness in the fact that Alyssa was cuddling up with him like this, finding it to be both cute and affectionate as he tried to stay open-minded and see the girls in their own lights the best he could. Of course he kept his eyes focused on the book in his lap, trying not to glance at Specca in fear of his eyes drawing to her breasts which were pressing against his arm, or at Alyssa in fear that he might stare at her innocent and adorable appearance as she held onto him like a little girl, since he knew Squeak was watching them with growing irritation. The ant girl drummed her fingers on her leg as she watched Specca and Alyssa getting very close to Daniel, with the two girls appearing to keep their eyes on the book while their minds were clearly not.

After a while Squeak felt her patience come to an end and squeaked something while pointing to the two girls, with them and Daniel looking to seeing an annoyed expression on her face. Jovian giggled and tilted her head playfully while her sister tilted hers in the other direction.

“She says would you kindly give Daniel some space, you’re both crowding him,” Jovian relayed.

“What do you mean? I’m merely looking at the monster guide with him to check for any inaccuracies,” Specca defended while holding onto Daniel’s arm still.

“I’m just sitting here reading the book with him, there’s nothing wrong with that,” Alyssa asserted with a firm tone. She then yelped with a jump before looking over to Specca with a growl.

“Except for when
someone’s
tail caresses
my
butt, get that thing away from me and Daniel right now,” she demanded. Specca blushed and glanced away as her tail quickly slid back over to her other side.

“I wasn’t trying to touch
you
,” she grumbled.

“Right, you were just trying to grab Daniel back there,” Alyssa shot back. Specca merely remained silent as her blush grew, with her tail wagging a bit at her side. Daniel smiled weakly with a small chuckle as Squeak set her hands at her hips with a stern expression at the two girls. Specca and Alyssa glanced to her then reluctantly sat upright again next to the boy while letting go of his arms. Squeak nodded with a dull stare at the two girls while Jovian and Jacqueline looked at Daniel with puzzlement.

“Daniel, may I ask you a question?” Jovian asked. Daniel glanced up to her as the girl seemed to hesitate for a moment before continuing.

“I don’t wish to pry into your affairs, but I’m just curious about something,” she said carefully.

“What is it?” he asked.

“Well, you say you want to get closer to each of them one at a time in order to see if you feel anything like love for them, to give a chance for you and one of these girls to connect on a more emotional level, correct?” Jovian questioned. Daniel nodded as all the girls looked at her curiously, except for Falla who kept a sharp eye out for her sister still.

“Yes, that’s right,” Daniel answered. Jovian and Jacqueline looked to each other then back to him with curious smiles.

“Then, wouldn’t the easiest way of doing so be to have sex with each of them?” Jovian asked simply.

“What?” everyone cried out at the same time with surprise, with Squeak merely squeaking with a jump while Falla kept her focus looking for her missing sister. Daniel stammered something incoherently while all the girls stared at the sisters with wide eyes. Jovian smirked then shrugged while looking around at everyone.

“Well, it just seems like that would be the best and fastest way to determine how you feel about them,” she reasoned.

“What are you talking about, how would that be the best way?” Daniel exclaimed while trying to keep his voice level down inside the cabin.

“Simple, after you’ve mated with all of them, surely you would notice if any of those experiences were better than the others, you would be able to tell if you formed a real bond with any of them after you have sex with them,” Jovian answered.

“Yeah, you could find out by tonight who you really love, just give it to each of them one at a time and see which one makes you feel the best,” Jacqueline giggled.

“Are you insane, we can’t decide something like this with doing something like that!” Daniel cried out.

“Hey, if that could really work I wouldn’t object to giving it a try with Daniel,” Alyssa commented with a coy smile at Daniel. The boy looked to her with a nervous smile as the witch leaned closer to him while batting her eyelashes.

“What do you think, Daniel? I’m absolutely confident that spending a real night with me would help you make up your mind about which one of us to choose, namely by seeing me as I
really
am,” she said with a purr. Daniel tried to say something back, along the lines of ‘Isn’t this going a bit too far?’, but only a quiet whine escaped his mouth. Alyssa giggled at seeing the boy losing his voice from her offer before Squeak started squeaking with a stern tone and pointing to the witch. After she finished the sisters laughed together while having amused smiles on their faces.

“Oh, sounds like Squeak is up to the challenge,” Jovian mused playfully.

“Yeah, she said she would be the best lover for Daniel here, hands down,” Jacqueline said while leaning back with her arms crossed behind her head. Daniel looked to Squeak with a jump as the ant girl winked at him with a sultry smile on her face, her arms gently pressing at her sides and pushing her breasts together to flaunt in front of him. Specca quickly shook her head then grabbed onto Daniel’s arm and pulled him closer to her.

“Now just hold on a minute, I would be the most suited to making love with Daniel, I’ve read more than enough books on how humans like to have sex to know what to do,” she asserted with a flustered expression. A mere second later she jumped with a gasp then held her hands over her face with an embarrassed whine as everyone turned to her.

“Haha, wow, Specca, you dirty girl,” Jovian purred.

“I never knew you had a perverted side to you, guess you are a monster inside after all,” Jacqueline giggled. Specca shook her head with a deep blush while lowering her head.

“Why did I say that, what is wrong with me?” she whined. Daniel just stared at her with a stunned expression as the nixie peeked to him between her fingers then looked around at the other girls as words failed him.

“I mean… I wouldn’t disappoint you… I hope,” Specca said softly. The sisters giggled then looked to Triska who was just staring back at the group with a stunned expression.

“Well, sounds like they’re up for doing this,” Jovian mused.

“What about you, Triska? Think you can lay down with the best of them?” Jacqueline challenged before the sisters started laughing together. Triska tried to speak as she looked from Daniel then to each of the other girls before she quickly shook her head then showed a stern glare at the group.

“Now hold on a minute here, we’re not going to have a sex-off to determine who can be Daniel’s, that’s just insane!” she barked out.

“Sounds like somebody isn’t up for doing this,” Jovian giggled.

“What’s wrong, Triska? Don’t have faith in your hips to win this?” Jacqueline said with a laugh. Triska growled then glared at the sisters while pointing to them.

“That has nothing to do with this! I know for a fact I would be better in bed with Daniel than any of them, the point is-” she started before the other girls looked to her with annoyance and started yelling and squeaking at her.

“You wish, Triska, you’ve never even had sex before in your life, what do you know about making love to a man? I know exactly how to take care of Daniel, and I’m none too shy to do everything to him to prove it,” Alyssa barked out, with Daniel looking to her with a mixture of surprise and concern at what she may be thinking of doing.

“I may be a virgin but at least I’ve researched how to pleasure a man for a long time, not to mention I practiced on a mannequin I had in my old home for when I did find my soul mate in life,” Specca snapped, then immediately gasped and covered her face again with a loud whine as she realized what she said, with Daniel looking to her with wonder as the nixie shook her head while hiding herself.

Squeak kept squeaking and pointing to Triska before waving her hands around in indecipherable signals. The sisters looked at her curiously then smiled amusedly at Triska.

“She says she was born to have sex, you can’t beat her in bed,” they said together with shrugs, with Daniel glancing to Squeak as the ant girl showed a proud smile and a nod to that. Triska growled then pointed to herself with a stern expression.

“Don’t give me any of that crap. So what if you’re all monsters, I may be just a human but I can do everything you could with Daniel only better, longer, and without question!” she yelled out, with Daniel looking to her curiously. The sisters tilted their heads while looking at the teen inquisitively.

“Without question?” Jovian asked.

“So you would let him do anything to you, anything at all, no questions asked?” Jacqueline inquired.

“You’re damn straight I would!” Triska yelled out before pausing for a moment, then blinked and looked to Daniel with a jump. The boy just stared at her in silence as the girl turned red from realizing what she just blurted out before she shook her head with a whine before smacking her forehead against the doorframe with a frustrated groan.

“Dammit, that’s not how I wanted to say this!” she cried out. Daniel stared at her with a stunned expression before looking to the sisters as they giggled in unison.

“My my, sounds like all of them are eager to prove to you how much they love you,” Jovian mused with a sly smile.

“Yes, so what do you say, Daniel? Want to take this game of yours to the final level and sample what each of these young ladies wishes to offer you?” Jacqueline asked coyly. All the girls jumped then looked to each other, failing to form any words or response before they turned to Daniel to see what he would say or do. Daniel opened his mouth to speak to the sisters, hesitating before looking down with closed eyes.

“Hang on, are you actually suggesting that I… with them…
right now
?” he questioned with disbelief.

“Sure, why not?” the sisters asked with shrugs.

Daniel paused then slowly glanced to his side at Specca, seeing the nixie watching him from behind her glasses with worried eyes. Her gentle beauty and caring nature made her stand out in her own light, and even with her monster features she wasn’t any less beautiful physically in his eyes, if anything she was an angel of the water to him. She was intelligent, polite, and obviously in love with him completely.

“Go on, Daniel, be a man and take charge,” Jovian purred.

Daniel then looked over to Squeak, the ant girl watching him with hopeful eyes as she squeaked quietly at him. Her complete loyalty to him was matched only by her physical beauty as she had the most developed figure of the group as well as the determination to actually risk her life for even the smallest things needed for Daniel’s journey. Even with their language barrier he could understand how she felt about him clear as day.

“Yeah, they want you to,” Jacqueline said with a smirk.

Daniel’s eyes then slowly moved over towards the cabin entrance where he saw Triska sitting on the front seat, the girl looking back to him as her hair fluttered in the breeze. She had always been like a rough sister to him growing up, a childhood friend that he always held dear. Now he was seeing her as a young woman who loved him more than anything, her affection for him driving her to follow him wherever he may go. She wasn’t just a friend; she was a potential girlfriend and perhaps more.

“Either in here, or we can stop and you can take them outside, your choice,” Jovian mentioned casually.

And finally he looked over to Alyssa, the witch watching him with a worried smile that also gave her an adorable charm. She was far older than any of them, yet with her physical appearance she had the illusion of youth and innocence to others around her, even though she was far from innocent on the inside. Still, although she was a monster he knew she had a good heart; especially after all she had done to merely stay by his side in hopes of winning his heart fair and square. She may look like a child on the outside, but she was a woman on the inside, one that loved him with all her heart.

“What do you say, Daniel?” Jovian and Jacqueline asked together.

Daniel closed his eyes and breathed out slowly, trying to steady his mind and heart from the thought that all the girls were practically offering themselves to him right then and there. After a while he then looked to the sisters with an accusing stare.

“Jovian, Jacqueline, that’s enough, this conversation is over,” he firmly stated.

“Oh? How come?” the sisters asked together.

“Because we’re not engaging in anything of the sort today, that’s why. You may have forgotten, but I haven’t, I have a date with Alyssa tonight, as per our existing arrangement,” Daniel specified while crossing his arms. Alyssa watched him with eyes of wonder while the other girls glanced to her curiously.
