Inferno Island

  “Yes, sir,” they answered, and then we were dismissed. As we exited, Andie and Aylin grabbed each of my hands, and Aylin grabbed onto one of Kara’s as well.

  “I believe it is time for us to discuss things, right?” Aylin asked hopefully.

  I looked between my Sun, Moon, and Stars, the nodded.

  “I think you’re right.”

  With the promise of meeting up with Eric, Kristen, and Matt later, the girls and I slipped into a secluded hallway that Kara said was reserved for sciencey things. Not a lot of people came down this way because most superpowers were physical, but much of Kara’s power was mental, so she spent a fair amount of time in these hallways with her own classes. It was the only time of the day we never really saw her.

  “In here,” she directed, and lead the three of us into an unlocked classroom. There were a number of flat-screen monitors attached to touch keyboards that lit up on the glass tables as we walked by them. I had to admit, this was fancier than I’d given Valcav credit for. Very nice.

  Kara slid into a seat towards the back far corner of the classroom which I assumed to be hers since she tapped a few buttons on the glass pane and a screen displayed ‘Hello, Kara’ in white and blue letters. I took a seat across from her, and Andie and Aylin pulled up chairs to close off our little circle.

  Silence hung in the air for a moment, and I watched as Aylin twisted her fingers into her uniform nervously. Andie leaned back in the chair and closed her eyes for a moment as she took a long, deep breath.

  “We were going to tell you,” she said finally. “We didn’t think City Master was going to out us like that.”

  “You asked the question,” Kara shot at her, though I don’t think the venom was as intentional. I could see that there was a bit of hurt in her eyes for being left out of the discussion as well, but I refused to believe that Kara was being purposely savage.

  “I know, I know,” Andie sighed, then hunched forward to rest her elbows on her knees, “but still, I wasn’t going to lie to him when he asked, either. I genuinely needed to know. We both did.”

  “What sparked all of this?” I asked softly as not to give off the impression that I was upset. The last thing I wanted was my Sun and Stars thinking that they had hurt me. I was shocked, that was all, but I still wanted to know their thought process. As someone who cared about them both deeply, I felt like I was owed an explanation.

  “I am on the search for someone that is of my kind there,” Aylin provided quietly. “I believe I have mentioned them to you before.”

  I dug through my mental memory bank and recalled that she had, in fact, mentioned that there was someone there from her planet that she had wanted to speak with. Unfortunately, the events that took place at The World’s Finest prevented her from seeking them out.

  “What are you hoping to find?” Kara followed up as she crossed her legs and sat back in her seat again.

  “Answers,” Aylin replied honestly, “and perhaps an ally that would be willing to help me with the war that is taking place on my home planet. Having someone who understands the situation might be of value to me.”

  I nodded. That made sense. If she did meet this Sahanian and they were on the same page, it could do a lot of good for her and her people.

  “Andie?” I asked, fully expecting her to have an answer.

  She did not. She remained silent and stared hard at the black tile floor as though she were hoping it would simply absorb her so she wouldn’t have to come up with anything.

  “My bodyguard,” Aylin piped up. “She volunteered after--”

  “Don’t lie,” Andie cut her off. “That isn’t how it happened, and you know it, but thanks for trying.”

  Aylin fell quiet and frowned. What was she trying to cover up?

  “Andie, what’s wrong?” Kara asked finally, leaning closer to her with concerned eyes. I was sure that Kara had a soft spot for Andie because of how accepting she had been towards her at the beginning of the school year. To see her trying to draw out an answer from her by using that bond they shared was endearing.

  “I don’t have a good answer,” she replied finally. “I just don’t. I’m not going there to potentially end a war, or to study under the likeness of my favorite hero. I just want to go, well, to go.”

  Kara and I looked at her carefully, then we both reached out and took her hands in ours.

  “You don’t need a good reason,” I told her. “I trust you, and I trust that you know what you want and how you want to do it.”

  “We were under the impression that you would be angry with us if we told you,” Aylin confessed, and I shook my head vehemently.

  “Never be afraid of that,” I affirmed. “I’m not my father. I’m not going to get heated up over something like choosing to broaden your horizons at a different Academy for a semester.”

  “There’s that,” Andie started, “but we don’t want to leave you either, Kara.”

  Kara gasped softly, then suddenly giggled.

  “You silly, silly girls.” She smiled sweetly at Andie and Aylin. “I could never be mad at you. All I ask is that you talk to me next time. To us. We're all in this together.”

  Andie beamed, and Aylin nodded simply with a bright grin on her gorgeous face. That’s how simple it was. It was a matter of open communication and respect.

  “I’m sorry you found out the way you did,” Andie said. “We both are.”

  “And we’re sorry if we gave off the impression that we would be mad or upset, and that you felt like you couldn’t come to us immediately,” I replied, then kissed both Andie and Aylin on the forehead. I then leaned over and kissed Kara’s cheek, so she didn’t feel left out.

  “Well, now that that’s out of the way, I want tacos,” Andie declared as she suddenly stood. “Can’t pack on an empty stomach.”

  I laughed at her sudden outburst, then stood myself. “No, no, you can’t. Let’s get you some tacos. We’ll help you both pack.”

  Kara placed an order from her phone to have tacos delivered to us at Aylin’s dorm while we got her situated. For some reason, I had expected her to have more belongings, but I supposed thinking back on it, she hadn’t come to Alexandria with much, to begin with. She had been exiled from her home planet, Sahana, and had only been allowed a small handful of possessions in her exile.

  As it were, one of those things happened to be the rings of handanu, ceremonial rings that bound two hearts together in the art of lovemaking. The small black box caught my eyes as soon as we entered the room, as it was laid carefully upon her bedside table. To anyone else, the box was unassuming. No one would have thought its contents were essentially an alien sex toy, but I knew better, and I smirked to myself as I recalled the night Aylin and I had used those rings to consummate our deep love for one another.

  She must have followed my gaze, or perhaps she simply knew what I was thinking, as I would expect nothing less of my Stars, but her amusement spread across her features as she floated to the box.

  “You do recognize the box, yes, Starlight?” she asked, and it was then that Kara and Andie had caught on to our silent communication.

  “What is that?” Andie asked as she looked between us, and then it clicked in her head. “Oh! Those are those rings, right? We should totally use them before we leave!” She grinned ear to ear and waggled her brows with the suggestion.

  “Perhaps,” Aylin answered simply as she tucked the slick box neatly into a suitcase, and I noted that as the girls packed it, she was careful to keep the box towards the top. Whether or not that was to protect it or keep it on hand, I couldn’t say, but I was definitely fond of the idea that we would be taking the handanu for another test run. Even Kara seemed to like the idea, though not as vocally.

  Still, I knew her well enough that the blush that had stained her cheeks wasn’t from exertion from packing a few articles of clothing. No, that blush was from her replaying the possibilities of what could be done with the contents of that box in her
head. I could only fathom what sorts of scenarios she imagined in that beautiful mind of hers.

  As soon as we were done with Aylin’s room, we decided it would be easier to just pick up the tacos instead of having them delivered. We swung through the little hole in the wall place that was a block from Andie’s apartment and picked up our order, then headed back to what was slowly becoming our base. Sure, we all had our rooms in the Valcav dorms, but it seemed we’d become more interested in spending time here instead. It was away from the hustle and bustle of the Academy, and we were free to act and be as we wanted here.

  I laughed to myself when I broke it down to what it really was. It was starting to become our sex den. I hoped Andie didn’t mind that, and I made a note to ask her about it sometime before she and Aylin left for the semester. I doubted that Kara and I would come back here while they were gone, though. It wouldn’t feel right without them, especially Andie since it was her place after all.

  We filed through the front door, and I was immediately met with the feeling of being at home. There was something freeing about this little apartment that made me feel safe like I could let down my guard and encourage my girls to do the same. Here, we could exist in a place where no one could touch us.

  It didn’t take us long to find an arrangement on the couch that suited us, mostly because Andie and Kara had gathered on the floor so that they could utilize the coffee table for their taco experience.

  Aylin and I settled into the cushions and used our laps as a sufficient catching ground for any stray strands of lettuce that escaped. Andie turned on the television and put on some game streamer who was very clearly enraged with what seemed like an impossible game. Oddly enough, I found his rage incredibly amusing, something that I maybe shouldn’t admit, but I took some comfort knowing I wasn’t the only one that was howling with laughter every time the streamer missed his mark and ended up back where he’d started.

  After a shocking two hours of getting wrapped up in this guy’s agony and screaming at the television for his success, I found myself with three taco-filled girls snuggled around me in some fashion. Kara had moved up to the couch, but still kept ahold of Andie’s hand. As for Andie, she nestled herself between my legs on the floor and rested her head on my knee. Aylin was still curled up by my side, and I noticed that her fingers were gently threading through Andie’s long hair.

  I wasn’t sure what happened first, whether it was Aylin pulling Andie up for a long, sensual kiss, or Kara leaning up and dragging her lips along my jaw. Maybe they happened simultaneously. Regardless, the streamer was promptly ignored in favor of giving my full attention to my girls.

  I pulled Kara fully into my lap so that her legs straddled either side of my hips. Her body arched into me as I brought her down into a proper kiss, and she gasped when Andie’s hand slid up her back. She always reacted as such when Andie touched her like she was shocked that anyone, let alone two people, wanted to put their hands on her and show her affection. That thought sparked a question though.

  “Aylin,” I called to the princess, and she slithered up to my side again. Her eyes had darkened if that was possible, and she smiled as she responded.

  “What is it, Starlight?” she cooed, and her lips traced the shell of my ear.

  “I want to watch you touch Kara,” I replied with a slightly more husky tone. “Would you like to touch her?”

  I couldn’t see my Stars’ reaction, but I watched my Moon’s cheeks burn as bright as her hair and bite her lip. A purple hand came into view, and Aylin cupped her cheek gently.

  “It would bring me great pleasure to place my hands on her body,” Aylin responded with a light trill in her voice.

  I smirked at that, and Kara gasped again as both Aylin and Andie came up along either side of her and kissed her anywhere and everywhere their lips could touch. I felt Kara shiver in my lap as each gentle caress ignited her pleasure sensors. She was putty in the arms, useless to do anything but moan and grab for purchase anywhere she could find it.

  One by one, her clothes were discarded until she was fully nude and spread out on the couch like a delicate dessert. I sat back and watched, making it no secret that I was fully hard and more than a little aroused as I languidly ran my fingers over my cock. I wanted this part to be all about my beautiful Moon. She might not have known how to express it outwardly, but I knew that she was just as devastated about both Andie and Aylin leaving for the semester as I was. She deserved to have an extra bit of attention.

  I made doubly sure to watch Aylin handle her, and I was delighted to see her enjoy herself, so much that she was eager to strip from head to toe to feel her skin against Kara’s. They both moaned as Aylin slid up her body and pressed their breasts together. Their nipples caught on each other, and they ground their hips as one. Each bounce elicited another moan, and I smirked as Andie caught my eye, seemingly with the same idea.

  “Come here,” I motioned to them, and they reluctantly followed my orders, not so keen to have stopped the friction they were creating. They obeyed, though, and I pulled my Stars into my chest so that she could feel my hardness against her backside.

  “Starlight, you are rather swollen,” Aylin observed with a hitch of her breath. “Do you require our attention?”

  “Not just yet,” I assured her with a soft kiss. “I want this to be about Kara first. My needs come second.”

  “As you wish, Starlight,” she replied, though I didn’t miss the intentional bump of her ass along my cock. “I also would like to give Kara something to remember me by.”

  Kara blushed as she sat opposite Aylin and grabbed her hand, kissing each fingertip with the utmost of care as Andie slipped away.

  “You’re sweet, but I don’t need this to remember you by,” she murmured.

  “Then it is a gift,” Aylin insisted, and she dragged Kara down for a chaste kiss.

  I could tell that they wanted more, but they would have to be patient. Just for a few more seconds.

  By the time Andie came back, they had only just noticed that we were one girl short. Now completely naked herself, Andie brought out two things. In one hand, a bottle of lube, in the other, a pink, sparkly, double-ended dildo. She grinned wickedly and licked her lips as she looked upon us.

  “Those look like fun,” Kara giggled as Andie settled behind her.

  “They’re for the both of you,” Andie purred in her ear and kissed her neck. “Since you both seem to like rubbing nipples, and let’s be real, who doesn’t, we thought this might make things a little interesting.”

  Andie uncapped the lube and dribbled a generous amount on both Kara and Aylin’s boobs, paying extra attention to their nipples.

  “Nick, can you check them to make sure they’re sufficiently wet?” Andie asked, and I was more than happy to oblige. I slid two fingers between Aylin’s folds and was more than satisfied with the slick sound of her arousal. I pressed against her clitoris for an extra bit of teasing, then moved on to Kara. She was also more than ready to take something inside of her, and I offered my coated fingers to Andie, who greedily licked them clean.

  “I think they’re ready,” I told her, and Andie nodded as she finished off my fingers. I relished in the hungry look the girls wore on their flushed faces before I sank back into the arm of the couch and fully cupped Aylin’s breasts. My palms slid over them thanks to the lube Andie had provided, and soft, breathy noise floated from plush purple lips.

  Andie seized the opportunity to insert one end of the toy into Aylin quickly, who gasped at the sudden penetration, then purred as she got used to the sensation of being filled.

  “Does that feel good?” I asked her, and her bangs fell into her eyes as she nodded feverishly.

  “It is not you,” she admitted. Her nails clawed at the back of my neck and tangled into my hair, scoring the skin lightly.

  “I know, but I promise this will make you feel just as good,” I assured her with a soft kiss to her temple.

  I looked up just in time to see
Andie guide Kara onto the other end of the dildo. She kissed her neck as she adjusted, and her tits glistened in the low light of the muted television as they jiggled.

  “You’re all a sight to behold,” I hummed as I eyed my Sun, Moon, and Stars with a hunger that darkened my pupils and set my loins ablaze. “Are you ready?”

  Aylin nodded breathlessly, and Kara responded with an impatient whine. She wanted to grind on that double-ended dildo, wanted to feel Aylin against her dripping wet pussy. The lust was so clear in her eyes. I didn’t think I’d ever seen her so riled up and excited without first being intoxicated. For a girl that was normally reserved, she was ready to put on a show for Andie and me, and give Aylin all of her. It was hot as fuck.

  “Can I?” My Moon asked with little restraint on the desire that filled her voice. “Please?”

  “What’s that, my love?” I responded.

  “I think she wants to ride that toy so far down that she can grind herself against Aylin,” Andie teased as she plucked Kara’s slick nipples.

  “Is that what you want?” I joined in the teasing. “Do you want to feel Aylin against you?”

  Again, Kara nodded, but she didn’t voice her desires. I let her squirm as I turned my attention back to Aylin.

  “Do you want to feel Kara?” I echoed to her, and Aylin moaned in response.

  “I would like that very much,” she gave in, all too willing to give me the response I wanted. I let her squirm, too, and my Sun and I relished in the flustered rise and fall of their chests as they fought to not move along the toy buried inside of them to get to one another. The need built up in their already heated eyes, and they whimpered as they licked their lips, desperate to create that delicious friction between them once again.

  “Say it,” I commanded Kara. “Say that you want to fuck Aylin.”

  My Moon struggled, but she took a deep, shuddering breath and forced out her words.
