The next morning was as peaceful as usual. Seeing both my girls here with me after Barb's first time was pretty damn blissful and they looked adorable all snuggled up against me. Barb had one blue eye sneakily peaking open to stare at me and when she saw me open mine she snapped it shut. I chuckled and reached down to tickle her ribs eliciting a squealing giggle as her charade broke down. "Alright!" She gasped out "Alright I give I'm up just stop."
Raven snickered from her spot on my other side clearly also feigning sleep and I laughed at their antics. "Wow, I'm dating a pair of creepers who watch me sleep. I wish someone had told me what I was getting into, some things are just too much for a man to take." The two of them gave each other flat stares across my chest then dove into a tickle offensive of their own mauling me good from both sides until I made a gasping surrender. "I give! I'm sorry mistresses have mercy." Their smiling faces were about the most beautiful thing I'd seen in my life.
Barb gave an imperious sniff. "Well, I suppose if you serve us breakfast in bed you may be forgiven. I'm enjoying this afterglow too much to want to get up. Plus my legs are still kind of wobbly. Not that I'm complaining but maybe next time you can rail Raven first so I don't need a wheelchair." She gave me a sweet smile so I'd know she was mostly joking but I did frown a bit at the idea I might've been too rough for her first time. She saw my expression and rolled her eyes leaning up to kiss me deep and slow to show she enjoyed herself.
Then she grabbed my face and shoved me back waving me away. "Now shoo, I enjoyed every second of that but I am just a tiny bot sore." She gave Raven a hot look. "Luckily I have a subby little demon girl to kiss it better." She lifted the blanket and Raven hungrily dove under the covers. I turned and left to go cook I was exhausted from last night, they could have there fun I actually was starving. I made sure to shut the door before the moaning started and luckily Raven's silence spell was still up.
When I got out to the kitchen I was not surprised to see the place busy. Kara was sitting with Inari and Morgan, and Yang and Cinder were telling Samantha about Remnant. Nobody was cooking yet, but when I stepped into the room all eyes focused on me. The stares were intense and mostly pleading. I rolled my own eyes "You're all jackals. I'm making pancakes and bacon. Sorry Inari but I have no idea how to cook vegan breakfast, I'm sure Kara will be happy to go pick something up for you though."
Inari giggled "It's fine Cam, vegan cooking can be really tough, it's no trouble. I would love if Kara could get me something but if not I can wait for lunch, I have some sliced tofurkey in the fridge for sandwiches. I usually have cereal with almond milk but sadly I'm out." She genuinely didn't seem bothered but I saw Kara climb off her chair and head to the door, shooting me a look and a shushing motion as she quietly slipped out the door. For anyone else that would be a useless gesture but Kara genuinely had a chance to get to the store and get food before Inari noticed she was gone if she rushed.
I turned to look at Cinder "How about you Cinder? You ok with pancakes and bacon?" I noticed she seemed a bit uncomfortable and stiff around Yang, I didn't think Yang had been involved in her plans individually because they hadn't really met yet and she didn't even know Ruby was at Beacon, but interacting with a student of the school she had been sent to topple was clearly bothering her. I figured reaching out and trying to include her would help her open up, no use causing drama over something that never happened anyway.
She offered me a tight smile "Of course, Cameron, pancakes sound lovely, and who doesn't like bacon. Do you have any plans for the day?" I saw her relax slightly when I addressed her and smiled internally, she already considered me a bit of a touchstone that could help her center herself, that was good. We could work on getting her to open up but for now even small talk was nice to see from her. This would be an adjustment for all of us. Yang was still mostly relaxed but not as bouncy as last night so I figured Kara had caught her up on who Cinder was. Between being from Remnant and Yang's more mercenary attitude though she seemed fine with the girl.
I turned on the stove and started mixing eggs flour and water for a simple pancake batter and left it to settle as I dropped the bacon into the pan. I like to use bacon grease for pancakes instead of butter to prevent sticking, it always gave more flavor. I shot Cinder a smile "Actually Harry is coming over later with River Shoulders, we asked them to stop by before we left last night." I expected her to stiffen up at the mention of the duo who aided in her downfall but she just offered a nod and went back to her conversation with Yang.
Samantha however perked up immediately. "Ooh, is River Shoulder that big hunk with the suit and the stubble? i was hoping to see him again. I have a thing for guys with facial hair, and I like my boys big. Do you know if he's seeing anyone?" We all turned almost as one to gape at the girl, Yang being the only exception because she hadn't met River. Imagining the eight foot tall Sasquatch with the tiny blonde vampire was kind of a mind fuck. She just rolled her eyes at the stares "So I like a little animal in my man, don't act like I'm a freak or something."
I chuckled "I think the size difference threw us off. But to answer your question I don't know. I know he was seeing someone a while ago but I think that ended, you'd have to ask him." I didn't mention Irwin, River went to a lot of trouble to keep his son safe and it wasn't my place to share and put him in danger. That said I did know a bit about white court Sasquatch relationships and Samantha could do worse. "I say go for it though, never know unless you try."
Cinder raised an eyebrow at me but I ignored it by pretending to be too focused on the pancakes. I'd gotten the bacon out and put it on a plate with a paper towel to soak up the grease and was ladling pancakes into the over sized flat bottom skillet. Like my mom taught me I waited until all the bubbles in the batter popped to flip them. "Anyway I'm making breakfast for Raven and Barb, they're tired from all the excitement last night."
A snorting giggle erupted behind me as Morgan bit out "I bet they are." I turned to see about half the room trying to fight down smiles. Morgan's giggle erupted into gales of laughter. "Oh god, your face. Yeah we obviously know you spent all night fucking. Even with your quiet magic we all sensed it. A girl's first time is a powerful thing, not to mention whatever crazy sex magic you were doing. You'd have been less obvious if you'd put up a billboard. Plus we all have super senses and you reek like pussy."
I rolled my eyes and chuckled along. I hadn't been planning to brag, mostly because I didn't need to and it was Barb's first time anyway. If everyone knew though no skin off my nose, I hadn't told them and I doubted she'd care anyway. I started plating up the pancakes and passing them out to the girls. Kara got the last plate as she slipped back through the door depositing a box of vegan donuts in front of her girlfriend.
Inari lit up at the box "You went to What's End! They're my favorite." The sunny proto vampires threw her arms around the blonde. "Thank you so much Kare-bear! You're the sweetest!" She pecked the blushing Kryptonian on the cheek as we all chuckled at the the badass blonde's obvious embarrassment over the use of their private nickname in front of us. I couldn't help but smile at Inari as I plated up the pancakes and bacon for Raven and Barb though, she looked so happy.
Having her family members here probably did a lot of good but in general i just felt like Kara was good for the girl. They both had that kind of shy happiness you see in sappy love stories and bad teen movies and it was sweet to watch. Samantha and Morgan I needed more time around, Morgan seemed oddly lucid this morning, which might have to do with her insistence that her Hunger didn't whisper to her when Kara was around. Samantha hadn't seemed particularly crazy in the first place despite Lara's insistence on her addiction, who knew maybe her time in faerie had cured her of the habit.
I headed back to my room with the food, leaving the room a bit brighter than I found it and happy for doing so. It took some doing to juggle the plates enough to get the door open since I brought my own food in the same trip and had a jug of syrup hanging off my pinky. I must have made some noise because a naked Barb swung the door open to grin at me and take one of the plates. I smiled at her casual attitude and brought Raven's plate over to where the busty goth was sitting up in bed with a sheet barely covering her huge breasts.
She took the food and Barb shut the door, talking between bites of food in a decidedly unladylike manner "So what was going on out there. The silencing spell is one way you know, we could hear all the giggling. Were you regaling all the pretty sex vampires with tales of you masculinity. Telling them how your poor fragile girlfriends couldn't stand up to your untamed lust? She waggled her eyebrows as she talked through the food looking like a sexy naked Groucho Marx (which was a disturbing thought I wished I'd never had.)
I snorted at her ridiculous speech. "First, they sensed us having sex, apparently Raven's wards only stop sound. Secondly Morgan said I 'reek like pussy' Third apparently post coital Barb isn't grouchy, but instead sounds like a bad romance novel. I was half expecting you to mention your quivering loins. Now close your mouth when you eat, because girlfriend or not you aren't sleeping in here if you get crumbs on my sheets." I tried not to smirk as I saw Raven's eyes flash with power and a few crumbs flew out of the bedspread and into the tiny trashcan in the corner.
As I laid down in bed to snuggle between them and start in on my own breakfast I smiled to myself. Things were going pretty fucking well for me. I had two beautiful girlfriends, a magic teacher, superpowers, and a bevy of sexy women living with me. Sure I was probably going to have to go to Colorado to fight a prehistoric shapeshifting hate beast that was hopped up on the blood of one of the strongest aliens in all of fiction but that was a problem for future Cameron. My life was pretty fucking good, and I was damn sure going to savor it.
