                “Please,” Angelique countered, her hand on her hip, “do you really mean to tell me that you can’t see the inherent harmony of logic and emotion when approached from a holistic angle… “

                She actually sounds annoyed! At last, a human emotion! “Oh my Gods!” I cried as I jumped to my feet. “Can you even hear yourself?!? You lecture me about not compartmentalizing my emotions and my cognitive centers, and then you talk about the whole thing with all of the emotional investment of stereo instructions! ‘Make sure you align the approach vector with the holistic equilibrium...’ It’s insane!”

                “What’s insane,” Angelique said, her freshly calmed voice reducing the tension level in the room greatly, “Is doing the same thing over and over again expecting a different result.” She looked right into my eyes. “You may have qualms about my methodologies,” she said, “but know that they are borne of many lifetimes of failures, with uncountable heartbreaks along the way.”

                She reached out and cupped my cheek. My body responded, aching for more.

                “I do love you, agra.” she said, smiling. “And once you stop fearing that, perhaps you’ll see the method to my madness.”

                And she was gone.

                                                                                                *                *                *

                “Fae weed, fuck me.”

                Raina, bong in her hand, exhaled a long stream of smoke into the air, shaking her head. Gaia grinned.

                “I don’t know about the weed fucking you,” she said, “but some of my Fae sisters were asking if you were still single. It seems that seeing you at Angelique’s report ignited some… pleasant memories.”

                “Which ones?” Raina asked, obviously interested.

                “All of them.” Gaia replied.

                “All of them.” Raina sighed. “Sweet Morrigan, Goddess, you can deliver for your sapphic sister!”

                I exhaled a long, thick stream of smoke from my own bong into the thickening cloud. Wow, I am DAMN near numb! I thought. Fae weed for the win!

                “I beg to disagree.” I said, raising my hand. “Surplus is not always bliss. I mean, here I am… gorgeous boyfriend, an instantaneous deep, personal connection with him, and he’s someone who can fuck continuously for seventy-two hours if he needs to...”

                A sharp intake of air from both Gaia and Raina roused Tiffany, who had been napping on the sofa behind them as they sat on the floor.

                “Wha… what?” she said, groggy.

                “Annie’s boyfriend fucked her for three days once.” Raina said quickly.

                “I didn’t say that I… did that, that long.” I said, waving her off. “I said that he can, that he has, with Angelique one time… “

                “Daaaaaammmmmnnnnn...” Raina said slowly. “How long have you two guys done it for?”

                I stared at her, and three sets of eyes looked back. “I dunno… “ I hesitantly began, “maybe… two, two and a half hours?” I thought for a minute. “No, it was two hours forty-five, I know it! We were listening to the earbook edition of ‘Endless Forms Most beautiful’ by Nightwish, and we started right with track one. We did it through the entire album, the instrumental versions, and was halfway through the orchestral version of 'Weak Fantasy' when we finished, so that would have been two hours, forty-five, give or take a minute." I paused. "And that overshare was brought to you by Fae weed!"

                Everyone laughed, Raina choking on her hit.

                “Fae weed!” I continued, sounding like a radio announcer. “Bringing you stories of chafing from your friend’s sex life since two minutes ago!”

                “Holy shit!” Raina coughed. “And… and I thought I was hardcore with Drucilla’s vibrating Fae strap-on!”

                “I’ve experienced that.” Gaia said, pointing at her. “And it is hardcore. Especially when she sets it on variable...”

                Raina shuddered, and Tiffany perked up. “And this is the same Drucilla who’s here?” Tiffany asked.

                “Yes.” Raina replied, grinning. “Though I must say, for the record, that we are a full, enthusiastic consent society in this household. Therefore, I must preface my further comments with the notice that all are just my opinion, and you must obtain said enthusiastic consent before exploring such options. That being said… “ She looked Tiffany up and down, and grinned. “Oh yeah, they’re gonna like you!”

                “I love my job.” Tiffany sighed and rolled a little on the sofa. “But hey...” she said, sitting back up.

                “Yes?” Gaia replied.

                “How would they feel if I were to have a friend stop by?” Tiffany asked. “I mean, I’m sure they’ll love her. If you like me, you’ll love her, you know? So… do they get set in a mode, or might they… play a little?”

                “Who do you have stopping by?” I said, confused.

                “Jazzy.” she replied. “The vampire’s caretaker.”

                “And you’re sure you want to share her?” I asked in turn.

                “She’s going to become a vampire, and soon.” Tiffany explained. “She’s trying to experience as much as she can before the change, so she can enjoy how enhanced everything feels after. And I want to help her experience as much as possible.”

                “Wow.” Gaia said, impressed. “I have no doubts that my sisters will join me in offering our services to fulfill your friend’s laudable journey.”

                “You too?” I asked her, surprised.

                “I may not be as libidinous as my sisters at times,” Gaia said, her skin darkening with embarrassment, “but I’m still a sensual creature, and this kind of selfless dedication...”

                She looked at Tiffany with a lusty grin. Tiffany swallowed.

                “It makes me excited.” Gaia continued. “So, of course I’ll take part.” She paused, and then winked at Raina. “Dru’s toys are incredible!”

                “You kids go play.” I said as I exhaled yet another thick stream of smoke. I scrunched deeper into the sofa that I sat on. “I think I’m gonna sleep right here...”

                I closed my eyes as I heard everyone else get up. I soon forgot all about the impending orgy somewhere in the house as sleep claimed me.
