              Lord Pricion started sputtering, “But Your Majesty, what is to happen to my castle, my lands and my money?  I’m a very rich man and that is how I came into possession of these women. At least let me take my guard with me! This is an outrage, taking away a man’s property and then sending him to who knows where, just for trying to make a living and have a good time!”

              My father nodded to the wizards and I could see the magic charging. My father turned his back as if writing him off and Lord Pricion disappeared. There was a sigh of relief all around the room. The women took off upstairs on the run and father and I followed behind.

              The door to my room was open and there were people everywhere. I’d counted twenty-two rescued slaves (I couldn’t actually think of them as consorts anymore), my five girls, and twenty-one wizards counting Lia, then my father and me. I’d thought I had a big room but this group needed the great hall! Several wizards disappeared and shortly reappeared bringing clothing to replace the tattered items the girls had been wearing. It was announced that Pricion had been banished and there was a weak cheer. I saw my girls adopting some of the younger ones and showing them to their rooms to share. Two beautiful Halfling girls were going to be taken to Kethos Castle and James’ could see to their return to the village near him. The Halflings had been abducted while walking on the beach less than two miles from their homes. They’d then been sold and since they were ‘common girls’ the Lord wouldn’t hear their protests. He’d had his way with them and for someone as small as a Halfling it had been quite painful. The more stories like that I heard, the more that I wanted to go locate the man and roast him alive.

              Finally the girls were checked over and healed physically by Aunt Chloe, and the girls and I started situating them in rooms. All the rooms in the keep had a water closet with a shower and toilet. The girls were all shown how to use them without scalding themselves. We put sixteen girls on the second floor and knew that the staff would be in for a surprise in the morning. I was glad I’d given them a raise!

              Everyone left except for my father and Lia. Father said, “I heard you obeyed your mother and stunned that man without questioning.”

              “Of course I did, sir; she‘s my mother.”

              “I’m proud of you, Son. Now try not to discover anymore crimes like this, but don’t be shy about calling us if you need to. I’ll send over money in the morning to help defray the cost of you having to take these ladies in.”

              “Thank you, Father, but you don’t really have to. Amber and I still have a lot of the money you gave us as a wedding present. I don’t mind taking care of people in need.”

              “And that’s why I’ll send money. You’re a good boy, Davie.” He hugged me and left.

              Lia smiled. “You are a softhearted one, but I saw the murder in your eyes when he said he was going to take one of your girls and trade. I thought you were really going to kill him right there!”

              I chuckled, “If he’d tried to actually take one of them, I believe I would have. Mother’s plan worked out much better. Look at all the consorts I have now! Twenty-four? That’s more than Father!”

              “I doubt that all of them are going to be your girls. I wouldn’t be surprised if some of them didn’t want to be, though. Women like softhearted men like you. I don’t, of course, because they wouldn’t survive me!” She said laughing.

              “I have a big favor to ask. I still have a whole lot of money in a pouch from your shopping trip with mother. Do you think that you could make the rounds and try to get these ladies nice clothes to wear? If they could dress nicely, it would go a long way toward making them feel better about themselves.”

              “See! Tenderhearted man! Of course; I’ll do that tomorrow. Now, go cuddle with your wife and I’ll see what I can do. Good night, little brother.”

              “Goodnight, Sis. Sleep well”

             

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Chapter Seven

 

            
 
T
hat night Amber and I invited Amee to join us. We made very sure that she was with us because she wanted to be and not because she felt she had to be. She smiled, because she knew the reasons behind the questions but assured us that she wasn’t a captive consort. In the middle of our lovemaking session, with me buried to the hilt inside Amee, Amber heard something. She looked over beside the bed and saw one of the new girls standing there quietly. Amee smiled at her and told us that her name was Zayna. She was Amee’s new roommate and had come to see what the noise was about, since Amee’s door had been left open. I laid as still as possible for a man who has his very happy penis inside a very excited vagina. Amber talked with the girl for a while and then came to Amee and me. With a very cajoling tone she said, “Davie, I know how you feel about too many…”

              With no blood in the head on my shoulders I said, “Whatever you want, my love, but I’m not laying still much longer. It won’t matter if we have visitors or not!”

              Amber giggled, “Our lovemaking has this poor girl in such a state she doesn’t know what to do. She wants to join in with us now and be a consort.”

              I felt our slow motion sex cause spasms through Amee and she nodded at Amber. Together they brought Zayna to me and assisted her in getting settled on my angry member. The fit was so tight with my current state and her virginity that I had doubts at first, but with coaching she finally settled me inside her and began to move. Her orgasms were almost instantaneous and repeated rapidly. She must have been quite worked up! Shortly, I signaled and Amee had her let me up. I rolled on top of Amber and thrust into her like I’d gone mad. As my release came, I grabbed a pillow and buried my face. I rolled to the side, panting as the passion faded.

              I said, “Hello, Zayna! You sure are a lovely young lady! It’s a pleasure to meet you. This isn’t usually how this is done but I am very happy to make an exception and welcome you to the family. I hope you know what being a consort entails and it isn’t all about the wrestling between the sheets.”

              She nodded. “The handler at Starford Stronghold taught us all about it. The three girls and I who are on this floor were there for two weeks before we were rescued. I’ll be the best consort for you that I can and I’m sure that the other three will, too, if you’ll have them. We didn’t want to be with Lord Pricion because of the way he treated the girls. We were all sold to him by our families and don’t want to go back home. Will you take the other three if they want to join your family?”             

              “That would be up to my wife. She is in charge of the consorts and I’m in charge of not getting buried under all their new clothes.”

              She giggled, “Lady Amber, do you think you would be willing to take us all? We know that you’re newlyweds and would want to be alone sometimes. The other girls and I would understand and be respectful, as we should.”

              Amber smiled, “I’ve learned from my tenderhearted husband that you can’t just put someone out. If you and the others have no place to go, then of course we’ll welcome you. Please just call me Amber, though, because I’m from a place where only old people are called by titles like that.”

              She giggled again, “Thank you, Amber! Should I go back to my room now or will Amee and I sleep in here tonight?”

              “Having the two of you sleep here is just fine. This bed is large enough for a small army and if you’ll notice, my husband is already drifting off. So, goodnight to everyone and I’ll see you in the morning!”

              There were goodnights said all around and I even managed a sleepy goodnight, too.

 

              The next morning I woke and dressed quickly. I rushed downstairs to the staff area and let them know the situation and that we’d have an extra twenty guests indefinitely. The kitchen instantly went into overdrive. I told them that if they needed to purchase any supplies to let me know and I’d get whatever funds were needed.

              After breakfast, my hero James showed up with new employees for the castle. He brought a lady named Ewayn to work as the scribe and treasurer. He knew how bad the regent had left our financial business and had discussed it with her. He also brought a man named Lambin to be the Chamberlain. He would help with the house staff and work with Ewayn to get everything situated in our pitiful financial department. They were given side-by-side offices in the keep proper. Both offices had very nice apartments attached to the back and they said they would be perfectly content. Before we left, I let Ewayn know about the staff’s pay raise and said that I wanted it to stay that way unless situations dictated otherwise. I gave her the key to the vault and wished them both luck. James said that they had both been out of work when he’d approached them and that they had jumped at the chance.

              James and I made our way out of the castle and down to the construction site. The workmen had started at first light and were in full swing. Ribs of three small ships were taking shape with the help of some magical woodcarving. Everyone seemed to be in good spirits and the work was going quickly. Alec had raised the rock on the beach so it could be used to anchor the dock to the shore. They were building a sort of box, with two fingers of the dock going out into the ocean thirty yards apart, and they would be connected at the ends to each other. James explained that it would make it easier for boats to unload across the dock into the square center, which would be secured all around by nets. There were also smaller unloading areas for independent fisherman who would want to keep their catch and pay, separate from the province-owned fisheries.

              After a little over an hour, several tables were brought out for food and drink for the workmen. The tables were cared for by close to two dozen very happy young ladies. James asked, “Are all of those girls from the raid last night?”

              “Most of them are. You can pick mine out of the crowd. You wouldn’t even recognize the rescued girls from the girls who were brought here. When they arrived they were in very poor shape with tattered clothes, bodies and spirits.”

              James nodded. “My mother told me the conditions they’d found when they were searching the castle. The man had girls shackled in the dungeon and locked in their rooms. The two Halfling girls that were brought to me to return home told me horror stories that I didn’t want to believe. I got them home first thing this morning and it was a very happy reunion.”

              “I don’t know what I’ll do with them all but as long as they are pitching in and willing to work, I can’t see putting them out. Lia says I’m too tenderhearted but I think that if people can help, they should. I think Amber has already adopted four of them as consorts. She’s almost as bad as Star when it comes to adopting strays. I know that my mother will be thrilled about it because it will increase the chances of grandchildren for her to spoil.”

              James laughed, “Good! Maybe she’ll quit trying to steal my Ivy and our daughter!”

              I chuckled, “Don’t count on it. It will be at least a year before we’d have one old enough to be kidnapped. I do have a question that you’re the only one that I’d ask. I know you’ve seen the magic that swirls around Father when he’s… feeling friendly. That same magic kicks on with me, too, and I don’t know the trick to controlling it. Have you had any experience with it?”

              “I know exactly what you’re talking about and I use it on special occasions or when I just feel lazy and want the magic to do all the work. But if you’re not able to control it, turning on and can’t turn it off, I can see how that would be a problem.” He put his hand on my wrist and we snapped into our mind-to-mind communication.               He showed me the magic that we’d been discussing,
‘I believe this is what you’re talking about. This is the method I use to turn it on and off. It amuses me how much time we siblings waste talking like normal people, when we can take care of two hours of conversation with a handshake!’

              I smiled,
‘My mother would be out of a job if she could teach her new students the way that we teach each other.’

              We separated with James nodding, “I think I’m going down to see how things are progressing.” He left, walking toward the ships that were under construction.

              I walked up to the table where the girls had a line of workmen coming through for breakfast. The men were quite happy to be served by so many attractive young ladies and I was happy with the change I saw after only one night. Aunt Chloe had removed all physical scars and injuries and the quickly-grabbed clothing was a huge improvement over the rags they’d been dressed in. I knew when Lia showed up that they would all look even better. She couldn’t get measurements last night, of course, but she is a woman and would have a good eye for that sort of thing.

              Zayna was very happy to see me and waved from across the table. It was an odd feeling to know that I’d slept with the young lady and this was the first time I’d seen her in the daylight. Happily, she was a very attractive and friendly girl. Hoping I would understand, she pointed out three more girls who were standing with her. I guessed that they were the other three that my wife had taken as consorts as I was drifting off last night. I was happy and knew I could have done worse in the daylight. With all the rescued girls being kept for the consort trade, it wasn’t surprising that they were all extraordinarily pretty.
