"What did you tell her?" It would be crowded for sure. The mattress had to be smaller than what we considered full size in my time. But having both of their naked bodies draped across mine sounded like fun.
"Nothing," she said quietly. "I wasn't sure what to say. I just got you back. I don't want to share you anymore. But now, the two of you have gotten so much closer, in a way that I haven't been agreeable to do..."
"That's not what it is about," I told her.
"Regardless," Cinny said to me, obviously unconvinced. "It's not fair of me to exclude her if you want her in your bed. I figured that I should let you decide. But naturally, I know what you want. And I'm not sure that I'm ready to hear that. So, I thought maybe we could cuddle for a couple hours before I am replaced."
"Replaced?"
"You look at her differently, too," she continued. "The way that you used to only look at me. Somehow, when it was only sex, it didn't matter as much. I know that I shouldn't feel betrayed. You haven't done anything wrong. It is not like we established an exclusive relationship. But still, I had hoped that your heart would always belong to me. Just me."
I wasn't sure what to say. A few lies came to mind. But not only would they not be believed, but I also didn’t want to deceive her. I needed Cinnamon's trust more than I needed it from anyone before in my life. Both Honey and Strawberry wanted to take a place by my side. Yet, they each knew that Cinnamon was already firmly positioned on the other side. The stunning brunette was special to me like no other person in my entire life had been. Not even my family.
"You don't have anything to say?" she asked. I could hear sadness in her voice. She felt like she was losing me. What could I say to give her peace of mind that she wasn’t?
"I'm not going to lie to you, Cinny girl," I said, choosing my words carefully. "I love you more than anyone that I have ever loved in my life. The majority of the time that I spent in those caves I was a wreck thinking that I would never see you again."
"I must admit that I was the same way," she said, glancing toward me. I could tell that I was headed in the right direction. Don’t fuck it up, I told myself.
"Getting back to you meant everything to me. I even convinced Aeren, Mixi and Mavi to help me escape."
"Mavi?" she asked. "Was she the horned woman with extremely dark skin?"
"Yes," I answered. "She was fierce in battle, and had become a friend of mine, of sorts. I will miss her, but not nearly as bad as her two friends will. They gave up their world to help me."
"I'm sorry that she died in your escape. Did you have sex with her, too?"
"No, Cinny. I didn't. In fact, I didn't have a real sexual experience with any of those three," I told her. I didn't think that it was the right time to bring up the bondage fucking that I received from the bunny girl. Though Mixi stroked my cock to get me hard for the experience, I wasn't considering that a legitimate sexual action. Hopefully, my girl didn't question my use of that term.
"I want to know what you and Honey shared down there in the cave to make you both act so differently now," she said. "If you don't mind telling me."
Avoiding this conversation was going to hurt my relationship with Cinnamon. I had originally hoped that it wouldn't be such a big deal, but I was fooling myself. I certainly never had a girlfriend back on Earth that wouldn't go total ape-shit if I had sex with one of her friends, let alone fall in love with the girl.
That's what happened. I fell in love with Honey during our time together. I knew what the genuine emotion from deep within my heart was, because I had already experienced it with Cinnamon. I just didn’t feel like the one reduced the other.
"We made passionate love to each other," I told my number one girl without reluctance. "Our time together brought us extremely close. I now love you both dearly and will do whatever it takes to make each of you incredibly happy. I've never been in this situation before, so I am bound to make mistakes. But I want you to know that my feelings for you have not diminished in the least. My heart has simply grown two-fold during the experience. I want you both by my side, and in my bed. I'm sorry if that hurts you, but I love you too much to lie about it. What do you want to do?"
She had tears in her eyes when she looked up at me. But somehow, she didn't look all that sad. I wasn't sure what to make of it except that pouring out my heart was the right way to go.
"No one has ever made me feel special the way that you do," she whispered. "Not even my parents. I don't want that to end."
"You will always be very special to me."
"I believe you," she said as her gaze bounced between my two eyes, as if one of them might be lying. "But it might be because I want so badly to believe you. But deep in my soul I know that there is a barrier between us. And it is only there because I have refused to tear it down."
I stared at her confused. What kind of barrier was she talking
