Jasmine nodded and traced Daniel's abs.

"Seems smart," said Daniel.

"Of course it is. Look what happened yesterday. By the Gods, was it only yesterday? Honey, you're in a circle now," said Amy in a serious tone, looking at Daniel.

Jasmine stopped rubbing Daniel's stomach. "With all the perks."

"Perks?" asked Daniel.

"Yeah, like all us girls get foot massages when we want them from you. Back massages when we want them. Food served on time and hot and to our liking. You know, serving us whatever and whenever we want. You are the only man in a circle of witches. You should be honoured. Service should be your Lifelong goal now."

"Anything else on that list of menial chores for me?"

“Hmm. Pussy munching. Fucking. Ass fucking. Finger fucking. Tit sucking. Hmm. I guess that's it."

“Blowjobs. Rim jobs. Hand jobs. Facials for everyone..." added Daniel.

“Pfft. Says who?" said Amy.

They laughed a little and lay quiet. Amber remained quiet.

Daniel stirred. “You know? I would like nothing more than to sleep right now. I think I'm too tired for anything else."

There was a sad, tired chorus of agreement. They arranged themselves in the bed and pulled up the covers. Bitty hadn't even woken when they moved her.

The magic lighting was turned off, and they Lay there Looking at the darkened ceiling.

“Ladies, thank you for saving me from Gwydion."

"Anytime, Daniel," replied Amy.

"That was horrible. I don't want to ever be compelled like that again. She made me do unspeakable things. We need to figure out how to work together soon. Together, I feel we are unstoppable. We need to practise. Like starting tomorrow morning. We can't let Gwydion have any power over us. Or anyone else, for that matter."

The girls gave a murmured agreement and then one-by-one they closed their eyes and fell asleep.

The next morning, Daniel woke to the smell of bacon and eggs. The bed was empty, but he could hear voices coming from the kitchen. He went over everything the girls had suffered over the past couple of days and felt grateful their love endured. He would have to do better for them and learn how to use their magic to keep themselves safe. He rose and washed up in the bathroom and came out dressed and ready for the day.

Amy took one look at him and ran over and hugged and kissed him.

"Morning, lover."

"Morning, love."

Jasmine came next, and even Bitty came over for a hug and kiss.
