We’d found order growing from chaos, but a corrupt and perverted kind of order. I felt responsible to make sure that whatever grew from this chaos was a better world than the one we’d destroyed, and hopefully better than Earth had been before the apocalypse. But Matthew’s words kept ringing in my mind, as did the addictive taste of true power.
“Are you ready, C?” Ava asked, drawing my attention. “The plane is packed and fueled. Emma wants to get across the Pacific before the weather turns.”
“Aye,” I said, turning and letting her help me up the ladder.
“We’ll be back, someday,” Ava promised, her warm hand rubbing my shoulder comfortingly. “And we’ll have help with us.”
She smiled and rested a hand on her belly, and the dark cloud that hung around my thoughts suddenly lifted as I remembered the precious life growing in her womb. All wasn’t death and destruction. There was love and life growing in the world, and with it came hope.
Epilogue
SLIGHTLY OVER ONE YEAR LATER
The world was silent beneath a thick layer of freshly fallen snow. The sun was hidden behind clouds, and I could leave my eyes uncovered without the glare blinding me.
A branch hung over my shoulder with seven rabbits hanging from it. Tonight was a special occasion, and Annie was making dumplings and rabbit stew, and my stomach was already rumbling even though dinner was many hours away.
The thin line of smoke was my guidepost as it rose from the top of a cliff face above the mountain trees and wound its way into the gray skies above. I’d been leaving the cabin before dawn of late. Loving to be out in the woods, hunting or exploring as the sun rose.
When Donatella was here, she’d join me, and occasionally Ava would as well, but the others left me to my own devices out in nature. Ava had grown a touch wild over the last year, and giving birth to our squalling daughter hadn’t tempered the thrill for adventure awoken in her by our trip around the world.
It had been interesting to see the changes motherhood wrought on my pride. Ava and Dee had a newfound appreciation for life, the pair of them throwing themselves into every mission or adventure that came up, while Shandra and Madelyn had grown remarkably maternal and matronly.
The pair had been there for every birth, working in tandem to make sure everything went smoothly. And in the months after the babes had been born, their arms had been full, and their cheeks sore from smiling as they bounced babies on their knees.
In the chaos of this new world, struggling up from the ashes, it’s been Annie and Brianna who’ve helped me stay sane. The pair had become sisters in all but name, and as the rest of the world went crazy in how they saw and spoke to me, the pair never let my head get too full of itself.
Leaping up the cliff face, I couldn’t help but laugh as my passage knocked bundles of newly fallen snow off tree limbs and I rose through a cloud of white dust. Landing atop the sheer face, I took in the sight of the little four-room cabin I’d built with my own hands. The sight filled me with an indescribable joy, but something about it was off and I wondered why my hackles hadn’t risen.
A second later it registered that the sound of babies crying for their mothers or a meal was absent. An ache of loss settled in the center of my being, at the same time, I breathed a deep sigh of relief. I hadn’t believed Donatella’s mom and sisters would take the babes until just now, and I found myself skipping through the knee-high snow as I climbed the slope to the ridge-top cabin.
We’d picked the location for its breathtaking view as well as the access north, east, and west. To the south, only Dee and I, or perhaps another powerful Alpha, could pass. In those trackless forests and broken hills, I’d lose myself each morning.
The dim glow of golden light to the north signaled that Dee’s mother and sisters were waking. The family had insisted on staying near one another, although that had caused some problems in the first few months. The women were still pumped full of mind-clouding aphrodisiacs. They could hold out for days, even weeks, but eventually their bodies craved… union.
The experiments done by Shen and his scientists had been the most advanced by far, and the women we’d brought from there had been a challenge for Dr. Gupta to help. In the end, they’d forced me into a drastic form of therapy that had required a night with each.
Ava and Madelyn had been understanding, but Brianna and Annie hadn’t been able to understand until spending time with the women. All they’d seen was the women’s haunting beauty. But once they saw how Dee’s mother and youngest sisters suffered, all had been well. Still, I’d been careful to steer clear of the two-story A-frame unless there was a reason to go. I had no doubts about my willpower, even remembering the incredible evenings, but better not to poke the bears.
Think of a she-bear and she appears.
“You’re one rabbit short,” Annie said with a frown, resting her hands on her hips as she stood up from the icebox.
I opened my mouth to correct her but noticed the end of my stick had a broken thread dangling from it where a rabbit should have been trussed up. Cursing to myself, I glanced back at the cliff and frowned.
“It must have fallen off on jump… Thing’s hawk food by now.”
“Playing in the snow, again?” the redhead asked with a raised eyebrow as she brushed dry snow from my shoulder. “I guess I can make six work. Go on inside, Bri’s got the fire built up for you.”
I passed off the brace of rabbits to the short redhead and stole a kiss before slipping inside. The large living room had a flagstone fireplace against one wall with a mantle and chimney that dominated the wall. Couches and chairs were normally arranged around the fireplace in a loose semi-circle but had been moved back off the thick rug that covered the floor.
“There’s porridge in the pot,” Bri called from the back room, and I grinned to see the woman had already filled a bowl with brown sugar and dried berries and set it beside the small copper pot.
I filled the bowl with two big ladles of porridge and dug in, the berries bursting with flavor in my mouth. Annie came in a minute later with the rabbits broken down and a few onions, carrots, and potatoes. As the redhead chopped up produce and began searing off the meat, I watched the competent young woman work.
“Dee won’t be here till later,” Annie said. “Ava said she’ll be flying the Blackhawk here around noon.”
“And Shandra?” I asked. “Is she still up at the A-frame?”
“Yes,” Annie said with a little laugh. “They’re so nervous about watching the babes, they wanted to make sure the doctor was there until the last minute. They can’t hide how excited they are, though… Maybe you should consider Ava’s idea.”
“You’re pushing that now too?” I asked with surprise.
“We both are,” Bri said, coming into the living room with a stack of clean linens and setting them on a side table. “You’ve been very sweet, CT, by staying away from there, but Ava’s right. If they’re unwilling to go out into the wilds and find an Alpha, or to take one of the regular men Donna has saved with the antidote… They just seem to get more and more depressed up there. I worry about those poor women.”
“Speaking of poor women,” Annie said, pulling my empty bowl out of my lap and getting a twinkle in her eyes as she winked at her sister. “We have an hour before Ava and Madge will be back and…”
“You want me to do the thing,” I said, sighing dramatically and suppressing my grin of delight.
“Please, baby?” Bri purred, her hand slipping between my thighs and cupping the package in my jeans. “You know how much we love it… and we know exactly how to… demonstrate our appreciation… remember last Friday morning?”
“Ohh God,” I said with a shudder of pleasure at the memory.
“Come on!” Annie was pulling me to my feet taking one hand, and Bri joined her, pulling the other.
We stumbled down the short hallway as the women peeled each other’s clothes off, their kisses and touches growing hotter with every step we took. They tumb
led into the massive bed we’d built, and I stood there for a few seconds enjoying the sapphic sight.
“I’ll never get over how hot you two look like this,” I said, and the two twisted to look up at me and grinned. One of Annie’s massive breasts was cradled in Bri’s hand, and the redhead had a firm handful of the brunette’s firm, little ass.
“And we’ll never get over how sexy you look,” Bri said with a wink. “Go on then take it off, husband.”
I removed my clothing and let it fall to the floor as the women’s hands reached between one another’s legs, touching and caressing their wetness. In a complete inversion of the reality, I knew before Armageddon came for the world, women now seemed to take more pleasure from seeing me disrobe than I did them, and I loved it even more than they did.
Over the last year, my body had filled out and leaned up. No matter how much I ate, the Catalyst interwoven through my DNA pushed my body into physical perfection.
“Gorgeous,” Bri breathed, and Annie growled in pleasure and turned into her sister, their lips meeting in a passionate kiss, tongues sliding along one another’s as the redhead rolled over Bri.
The women had spent every moment together since I’d bonded them, both waking and sleeping. In that time, they’d discovered a position that sent them into nirvana, and almost daily I was roped into facilitating their desires.
As Annie hunched her thighs forward, and Brianna spread hers wide, their bald pussies pressed together, Bri’s hands rose up her sister’s sides, gliding along the pale skin. One hand pulled the younger woman close, while the other gripped and massaged one of her massive breasts.
Annie’s fingers were lost in the slender woman’s dark hair. The silky tresses were a wild halo around her beautiful face as Annie planted kisses on her neck and lips. The women whispered gentle words of love to one another, their touches and kisses growing more and more passionate, and both let out little whimpers as my weight settled on the bed.
“Quick, baby, we’re so close!” Annie didn’t look back, but her wide ass flexed and hips rolled as she invited me in.
Reaching down, I took hold of Annie’s soft ass and pushed down. The women moaned as my hardness slipped between their puffy lips. Hard little clits ground along the length of my cock and their wetness coated its length. As the women made out, their kisses growing more and more heated, I thrust between them.
The sensations around my cock were soft and gentle, and it would take a long time for me to reach my peak, but the women were halfway there in moments. Slowing my pace, I edged them closer and closer to the moment. My cock throbbed, and I watched the sisters clutch at one another, their shudders stilling as they gasped out in bliss.
“Mhmmm oh, God, I needed that,” Brianna purred as her legs slumped down.
“I’m going to…” Annie shook with a small aftershock orgasm, hands gripping Bri tight before she sagged against the slender woman.
“Bring that beautiful thing up here and let us give you your reward, big boy,” Brianna purred, rolling her sister over and cupping her massive breasts together.
Annie’s green eyes were still hazy from bliss, but her lips curled into a hungry grin as she pulled me forward. My cock slipped between the girl's soft tits, and I sighed in pleasure as Bri wrapped her tight lips around the head.
The slender brunette sucked the tip hard, then released it as I pulled back through Annie’s breasts. The women’s cheeks were pressed together, and as the head pushed through again, both swirled their tongues around it, and Annie even managed to mouth it gently with her lips before I pulled back.
Each time I thrust through, my cock was bathed in their tongues or sucked hard by one of their mouths. Both pushed the girl’s massive breasts around my cock, gripping it tight as my hands explored their sexy bodies.
“This is so hot,” I breathed.
“And we thought you’d be tired of it by now,” Bri grinned before gliding her tongue along the underside of my cock.
“Never,” I breathed.
“Good boy,” Annie huffed. “Now cum for us, CT… cover our faces in your delicious cum!”
“Cum for us,” Brianna purred.
Their tongues worked as one, flicking around the head of my cock with light little motions that had my balls tightening and toes curling in moments. Pressing forward, Annie’s tits smooshed between us, I gasped in pleasure as thick lines of pearlescent cum arced out, coating the women's faces.
I fell back onto the stuffed mattress with shaky limbs and caught my breath as the two sisters rolled around making out. Where my cum covered their skin, they licked and sucked it clean and would have crawled between my legs to finish the job, but a snort of amusement from the doorway drew all our heads around.
“If you let the stew burn, Madge will never let you hear the end of it. She still thinks we should have had Emma cook.”
“I’m not going to burn it!” Annie said, scrambling from the bed and snatching up her clothes as she hurried to the living room.
“Do I have time for a bath?” Bri asked as she rolled out of bed lazily.
“If you make it fast,” Ava said, drawing the slender brunette into a one-armed hug as she led her out of the bedroom. “You still have to run up to the A-frame and help Shandra with the things… you remember?”
The women shared a secretive look, and Brianna nodded. “Good girl, now get along. Or else you two will leave our husband too tired to make this a proper anniversary.”
The brunette shot me a sly grin and pulled on her clothes as they hurried out of the house. I was pulling on my pants when she turned and planted both hands on the sides of my face and pressed a kiss to my lips that left me breathless.
“Happy anniversary, my love.”
“Happy anniversary,” I said, smiling into her lips and groaning as she leveraged herself up and away from me. Looking up, she smiled and smoothed her blue dress over her belly. There was something soft and extra loving hidden in the merry twinkle of her eyes and I frowned, then saw her smile turn shy and realization struck.
“Wait… two months ago when we spent that night under the moonlight… are you… again?”
“Yes, my beautiful son,” Ava whispered as I stood and swept her up into my arms. “The others know, but I’ve been saving it until tonight.”
“This is… this is wonderful!”
“Don’t get too excited, it’s early yet, but Shandra says everything is going well. Speaking of which, she’ll be here any minute and we need to get things ready, so you have to leave.”
“Leave?”
“Yes! Dee’s landing soon. Go greet her at the landing site or something—”
Her words cut off as I pressed a kiss to her lips. Ava softened in my arms, and I felt the tension melt in her, and when I pulled back, there were sparkling tears of joy in her eyes. The others welcomed us with hugs when we returned to the living room, but my stepmother stuck to her word, harrying me from the cabin before Madelyn could entice me with her new, matronly body.
I took off north and west with images of the former actress filling my head. The woman had always had large breasts, but since giving birth and helping nurse the other babes, they’d grown even larger than Ava’s or Annie’s, and she knew how easily they distracted me.
We had thoughts of putting a road in where the trail led down to the lower valleys. I’d sought solitude in the mountains that had once been Wyoming, but word had gotten out. Within weeks dozens and then hundreds of refugees began gathering in the valleys below.
At first, I’d gone to visit and make sure they were safe and cared for, but soon their awe and the strange factions of worship that had formed amongst them made me uncomfortable. No matter how much I tried to push back against the narrative, the stories of my deeds spread and grew with the telling. When Tom Redding and his coven emerged from the wilds with a story that raised the hair on the backs of my arms, it relieved me of the burden of responsibility once more.
The short mountain trees gave
way to lower elevation fir and pine as I dropped down into the high valley. I’d gone a bare half-mile when a whiff of complex aroma told me Dee was nearby. Two minutes later I spotted a flash of silver ahead, and then she came loping out of the tree line.
I froze when I saw Donatella. Her flowing silver locks streamed behind her, and her delicate-featured face was fixed in concentration as she leapt over fallen logs and avoided boulders. If anything, Dee had grown more beautiful since giving birth. The yellow of her eyes had a golden hue now, the deeper colors reflecting her maturity and growth.
Those sharp eyes of hers spotted me in the tree line, and she flashed a bright smile of joy and ran over. As she leapt into my arms, the space between us flashed purple in that odd manner our eyes took on when we’d been parted for a time, then her lips met mine and all thought faded.
“I missed you,” I breathed into her lips and felt them curl up into a hungry grin.
“Prove it.” Her hands were beneath my shirt and pushing down my pants, and in seconds, I had yanked her tights down as well.
Growling like a wild animal in heat, I bent the slender woman right there in the forest. Dee gripped the trunk of a tree, her face screwed up in need as I thrust into her from behind, my hands clawing at her body as she twisted back to meet my lips.
“Ava… uhh… told you.” Those yellow eyes were filled with love as they met mine. “Ohhhh, God!”
I exploded within her tightness as we gripped each other tight, her pussy shivering around my cock as her own orgasm faded. With shaky fingers, we slowly released one another and stood grinning like fools.
“Congratulations, CT. Now let’s get back to the cabin before Ava has my hide for tiring you out.”
“What did Tom have to say?” I asked as we started out on the trail back up to the cabin.
