  “Pretending like we’re too stupid to realize it hurts our feelings more,” Avara said while filling her own satchel with all of the drink bottles. “It’s okay not to like things. It’s our own fault for not being sophisticated like Jinx.”

  “Yeah,” Kadra agreed while shoveling the small pieces of jewelry into her bag. Ariel watched as Sirun gathered up all of the meat, Avara all of the drinks, Kadra all of the jewelry, and Rela all of the clothing and suddenly realized that each of the wolves brought her their favorite things. “We should have asked Jinx what to get you instead of trying to do it ourselves.”

  “We just thought a gift would be better if we picked them out,” Sirun said.

  “Please stop! I’m so sorry!” Ariel dropped to her knees and started crying uncontrollably. “I’m so sorry! I didn’t realize they were gifts! I wasn’t thinking! Please don’t take them away!”

  “But you don’t like them,” Rela shuffled her feet. “You think they’re garbage.”

  “It was a misunderstanding,” Ariel desperately insisted while failing to hold back her tears. She bent over and buried her head in her arms. She finally couldn’t take it anymore and broke down completely. “I wish I could take back what I said. I’m so sorry.”

  Ariel heard footsteps rapidly approach and suddenly she was encompassed in warmth as the four women all wrapped their arms around her. She felt the pressure increasing as each of the women aggressively snuggled into her until every inch of her body was pressed against one of them.

  “You don’t have to be sad,” Sirun said. “We’re not angry at you. We’re angry at ourselves. We’re the ones that picked bad gifts.”

  “Yeah,” Rela said reassuringly. “You don’t need to cry. If you cry it only makes it worse. We’re just stupid.”

  “Your gifts weren’t bad,” Ariel sniffled. “I just didn’t know they were presents and you’re not stupid, I’m stupid.”

  “We’re all stupid,” Kadra said confidently. “It’s okay. We can be stupid together.”

  “That’s reassuring,” Ariel chuckled as she realized the women didn’t hate her. But she still felt awful about the way she’d treated all of their presents. It never occurred to her that the spectral wolves might have the gift giving sense of a typical wolf. “I’m still so sorry. But I do feel a little better now.”

  “Good,” Sirun said as the wolves released her. “Now we just need to think of a way to fix this.”

  “Right,” Avara nodded while helping Ariel to her feet. “So, what kind of presents do you like?”

  “What?” Ariel asked suddenly confused again. “I said your presents are good. I’m happy with those. But, wait. Why do you keep trying to give me presents?”

  “Huh?” Rela smiled while fixing her long red hair. “Because you saved Jinx.”

  “And you’re nice to us,” Sirun added.

  “Hm,” Kadra leaned toward Ariel and sniffed her several times. “Because you smell nice?”

  “She does smell nice,” Avara agreed. “And I feel warm whenever she’s around.”

  “Yeah,” Sirun nodded excitedly. “Being around you makes me happy. I’m not entirely sure why.”

  “Being around you always made us kind of happy. But after you saved Jinx being around you made us really happy,” Rela agreed. “I think we just all really love you for saving Jinx.”

  “That’s because Jinx is the best,” Kadra said completely unprompted. “She’s the most beautiful and noble spirit beast to ever live.”

  “Yeah she is,” Avara said in agreement. “Jinx is so beautiful. I just want to bury my face between her…”

  “Ariel’s pretty too,” Sirun interrupted. The playful redhead was clearly the first to notice Ariel’s mild irritation. “So don’t feel bad! Just because you’re not as pretty as Jinx doesn’t mean you’re not really pretty. You are! You’re really pretty!”

  “Yeah,” Rela reassured Ariel. “We’re not saying you’re not pretty. It’s just that Jinx is so beautiful.”

  Ariel felt herself getting more aggravated as the wolves continued to discuss how beautiful, smart, and powerful Jinx was. It wasn’t so much their love of Jinx that was getting to her, but the way they continually seemed to be comparing her to Jinx. Of course, it wasn’t much of a comparison since the spectral wolves practically worshipped Jinx.

  “What about us?” Kadra asked, halting their conversation. Immediately, all of the women fixed their eyes on Ariel. They were clearly excited but Ariel had no idea why. “Who do you think is the prettiest?”

  “Prettiest?” Ariel asked as the four stared fanatically at her. “Do you mean between me and Jinx?”

  “Don’t be ridiculous,” Avara laughed as if Ariel said something hilarious. “That’s completely unfair. Jinx is prettier than everybody. We’re talking about between us.”

  “Between you?” Ariel stepped back as she suddenly felt like she’d walked into a trap of some sort. “Who I think is the prettiest between you?”

  “Yeah,” Sirun said while straightening the flowy black dress she’d clearly stolen from Jinx’s closet. Rather than straighten her hair she aggressively rubbed her head messing it all up. “Which one of us do you think is the prettiest?”

  “Which one of you does Jinx think is the prettiest?” Ariel asked trying to get out of her predicament.

  “Trickster!” Kadra said while defiantly pointing at her. “Jinx said you would try to change the subject!”

  “Jinx said?” Ariel bit her thumb as she realized that Jinx likely encouraged their strange behavior. “What did Jinx say exactly?”

  “Trickster!” Avara jumped up and down while rapidly pointing with both fingers. “You’re still trying to change the subject! You’re supposed to be telling us who the prettiest is!”

  “I think you’re all equally pretty,” Ariel said defiantly.

  “Trickster!” Rela said while putting her hands on her hips and glaring. “That’s not a real answer.”

  “And don’t try to trick us again,” Sirun said proudly. “We’re not going to fall for it!”

  Ariel glanced around at the women as they waited for an honest reply. She’d never really compared the women to each other and didn’t really like the idea of comparing people in general. They were all equally beautiful to her but in different ways.

  If she had to gauge traditional beauty the winner was probably Kadra. Much like Freya, her long silver hair contrasted her tan skin beautifully and Ariel found herself jealously eyeing her perfect hourglass figure. If that wasn’t enough, her confidence was unmatched making her a force to be reckoned with.

  Avara though, she was special too, primarily in the chest. While Kadra’s proportions were perfect, Avara’s were particularly top heavy and Ariel found herself wanting to squeeze the auburn-haired woman’s bouncy chest. But then there was also her perfect smile and innocent face which made you just want to grab her and squeeze.

  Rela and Sirun were more easily compared as a pair because of both their similarities and differences. While both were red-haired, freckled, and slender that’s where the similarities stopped. Of course, when Ariel thought slender, she meant slender compared to the others. All of the spectral wolves boasted far more curves than both Ariel and Jinx.

  Sirun was the shortest and skinniest of the women. They frequently referred to her as the runt and picked on her but Ariel imagined they were jealous of how adorable she looked. Between her short red hair and youthful features, she could almost be a fairy herself.

  Rela though, she was something else. She was the tallest of the wolves and had beautiful long wavy red hair. Additionally, her frame made it so everything she wore always looked perfect on her. Ariel imagined that in the right dress the spectral wolf could easily be mistaken for royalty herself.

  As for clothing, they all preferred to wear dresses from Jinx’s closet. In fact, their fashion sense seemed to be just copying Jinx. Admittedly, they all looked absolutely amazing in the dresses. Which made it even more difficul
t to decide.

  “I can’t choose!” Ariel said as her brain started to simmer. “Kadra’s probably the most beautiful but Sirun’s definitely the cutest and Rela’s the most stunning while Avara’s probably the sexiest. But you’re all really amazing!”

  “I’m the most beautiful!” Kadra smiled triumphantly. “Told you all!”

  “Stunning is better than beautiful,” Rela said brushing her hair aside like a victorious noblewoman.

  “You two can’t be serious,” Avara grinned salaciously. “Sexiest means the one they want to have sex with the most. I’m the winner.”

  “Cutest,” Sirun sighed. “I suppose I’ll always just be the cutest one.”

  “I think we can at least all agree that Sirun lost,” Kadra teased.

  “Agreed,” Rela nodded while playfully rubbing Sirun’s head.

  “Agreed,” Avara laughed.

  “Stop being mean!” Ariel said authoritatively while grabbing Sirun’s arm and pulling her close. She wrapped her arms around the girl and squeezed as hard as she could. “There’s nothing wrong with cute! Jericho calls me cute all the time and he loves me! Lots of people love cute things! I love cute things!”

  “Really?” Kadra grinned threateningly as she approached Ariel. “Are you saying you’d rather have that little runt over me because she’s cute?”

  “Or me?” Avara scowled.

  “Hm,” Rela twirled her red hair while walking toward Ariel. The freckled woman smirked as she looked down at Ariel. “I don’t think she’s saying she wants Sirun over us. I believe she’s saying she likes us all. Right?”

  “That’s what I’ve been trying to say!” Ariel said happy one of them finally understood. She was beginning to worry that another argument was going to break out or that she was going to hurt their feelings. “I like all of you!”

  “Ohhhh!” Kadra said finally understanding. “Why didn’t you say so!”

  “I did!” Ariel stomped. “Several times!”

  “But you should have been clearer!” Avara said suddenly super excited. “That decides it!”

  “Decides it?” Ariel said suddenly confused again. “Decides what?”

  “What your present is going to be,” Sirun blushed and gave Ariel a quick peck on the cheek before the fairy could respond. “We’ve been trying to figure out what kind of things you liked. But you said you liked all of us.”

  “Huh?” Ariel said as Sirun’s hand made its way down her back. “Wait…”

  “Wait?” Avara pouted. “But you said you liked us. And we’ve been trying so hard to find you something you’d like.”

  “I suppose she didn’t mean it,” Rela said while looking at the ground. “We’re just spirit beasts after all.”

  “No!” Ariel argued not wanting to make them feel bad again for trying to do something nice for her. “I do like you all!”

  “That’s the spirit,” Kadra beamed while grabbing Ariel’s hand. Avara quickly grabbed the other while Sirun maneuvered to push her from behind. Rela skipped toward the penthouse and held the door open as the other wolves pushed and pulled Ariel through. Kadra leaned down and aggressively kissed Ariel’s neck before sliding her tongue up to her ear. “I like you too.”

  “Yay!” Sirun rushed ahead while pulling off her dress. The spectral wolves took a firm stance against ever wearing underwear so the energetic redhead was naked as she jumped onto the enormous bed and rolled around playfully. “We get to play on the big bed!”

  “I love the big bed!” Avara said quickly stripping off her dress and joining Sirun. “It’s so soft and bouncy!”

  “Are you coming?” Rela smiled while sliding out of her dress and taking a seat on the edge of the bed. She began bouncing playfully. “It’s so fun.”

  “What do you say?” Kadra asked while running her hands up and down Ariel’s narrow waist. “Do you…”

  “Yes,” Ariel interrupted as the beautiful women played on the bed. She wondered if she was feeling a little bit of what her master felt when he looked at her and the other familiars. A group of gorgeous women eager to be with her. It made her heart pound. “But…”

  “But what?” Kadra asked while pulling off her dress revealing her perfect tanned body. Ariel’s eyes immediately fixed on Kadra’s gorgeous hips and defined abdomen. It wasn’t nearly as defined as her master’s but Ariel found herself wanted to touch it just the same. “Is something wrong?”

  “I probably can’t please you all,” Ariel said as the room went silent. She looked around at the wolves quietly stared at her for several seconds. She couldn’t help but wonder what they were thinking.

  “Ha!” Avara was the first to laugh as the others burst into laughter. Kadra rushed toward the bed and jumped in. The silver-haired beauty immediately began rolling and bouncing with the others as the group laughed until their faces turned red. “Ariel! You’re funny.”

  “Funny?” Ariel said suddenly feeling embarrassed.

  “Yeah,” Sirun chimed in. “Obviously you’re not going to please us all. Even Terra can’t please us all.”

  “Don’t put so much pressure on yourself,” Rela said while patting the edge of the bed. “Freya was never able to please more than two of us at a time. In fact, the only ones who’ve managed to please all of us are your master and Jinx.”

  “Jinx is amazing though!” Kadra chimed in. “Nobody expects you to perform like Jinx!”

  “Exactly,” Avara said. “Jinx is just amazing.”

  Ariel felt the corner of her mouth twitching as the naked women reverted to their ludicrous Jinx worshipping. Ariel was aware of what Jinx was capable of in bed, she’d experienced it herself many times herself. Jinx was unbridled, energetic, and relentless once she got started. But she hated the idea of losing to Jinx.

  “We’ll see about that!” Ariel said while walking toward the bed. She quickly threw off her sundress and slipped out of her pink panties. She was going to teach those women a lesson about underestimating the queen of the fairies.

  “Huh?” Rela froze as Ariel grabbed the redhead’s face and kissed her. Ariel began dexterously running the tip of her tongue along Rela’s while rapidly wiggling it. It’s how she created the vibrating sensation that even Jinx fell in love with. Rela jumped up excitedly as Ariel pulled away. “What was that!”

  “That’s how I kiss,” Ariel said proudly. “Did you like it?”

  “Yes,” Rela said reaching out for Ariel. “I want another.”

  “Really?” Kadra glanced at Rela. “It was that good?”

  “It was the best,” Rela said while hungrily eying Ariel’s lips.

  “I want to try,” Avara said shoving Rela to the side. “My turn!”

  “You have a lot of nerve,” Kadra said putting Avara in a chokehold. Ariel licked her lip as she watched the two women’s tan bodies struggle against each other. The two women twisted and writhed as they each tried to get the upper hand on the other. “You think you can jump to the front of the line? I’m next!”

  “We can kiss some more while we wait to find out who wins,” Rela offered while tugging Ariel’s arm. “It may be a while.”

  Ariel glanced at Sirun patiently waiting while watching the fight. She probably knew she didn’t stand a chance against Kadra or Avara and relegated herself to last. Ariel wondered how often the adorable redhead had to wait for the others and found herself thinking about all of the times Jinx had wrestled her into submission.

  “You’re next,” Ariel said while pulling Sirun’s arm. She quickly wrapped her arms around the freckled redhead’s naked body and kissed her. Her lips were surprisingly soft and her mouth opened reflexively allowing Ariel’s tongue to enter. Ariel closed her eyes and ran her hands up and down Sirun’s soft back as the redhead’s chest pressed against hers. She heard a soft growl and opened her eyes to see both Kadra and Avara less than an inch from her face. Ariel pulled away and smiled, “What? You two were busy fighting.”

  “Wow,” Sirun giggled while holding her hand to her mo
uth. “That was nice.”

  “Enjoy it while you can,” Kadra glared at Sirun. “I’m going to get you back later for jumping the line.”

  “Excuse me?” Ariel chided the fierce warrior. “You will absolutely not be getting her back!”

  “Ha!” Sirun stuck her tongue out at the silver-haired beauty. “You heard her!”

  “But that’s not fair!” Kadra argued while pointing at Sirun. “She knows the rules!”

  “These are my rules,” Ariel said smugly while grabbing Avara and kissing her. She slid her hands down to Avara’s hips as the woman’s soft breasts pressed against her. Avara let out a long sexy moan clearly meant to enrage Kadra as Ariel’s tongue did its work. Ariel pulled away and smiled at Kadra. “Next time be nicer and you might not have to go last.”

  “I am being nice!” Kadra said aggressively pulling Ariel toward her. The silver-haired woman pushed Ariel down onto the bed and quickly moved to straddle the helpless fairy while pinning her arms. Ariel found herself trembling as Kadra’s glowing golden eyes fixed on her like a predator on its prey. The nervous fairy reflexively closed her eyes as Kadra leaned down.

  “Huh?” Ariel opened her eyes as she felt Kadra’s soft warm tongue gently lick from her collarbone to her ear.

  “I’m being so nice,” Kadra moaned in her ear. “Aren’t you going to be nice to me?”

  “Okay,” Ariel giggled as Kadra gave her another lick. The sexy warrior aggressively took Ariel’s mouth as if she were claiming it as hers alone. Her tongue slithered against Ariel’s but Kadra soon realized that she was no match for the dexterous fairy. After several seconds the beautiful spectral beast pulled away and released Ariel. “Did you like it?”

  “Uh huh,” Kadra nodded and touched her lips as if trying to figure out what’d happened. “How do you do that?”

  “I just do,” Ariel beamed proudly. “I can’t really explain it. Even Jinx can’t do it!”

  “Me again!” Rela quickly said while going in for a kiss. Kadra and Avara almost simultaneously cut her off. “What are you two doing? It’s my turn!”
