“Puuugh! You know,” Rebecca complained, wrinkling her nose, “you could’ve taken a shower after practice.”

“Oh hush!” Smiling brightly, Olivia swiftly yanked her cheerleader’s top off over her head and tossed it unceremoniously over at Rebecca. “I figured Joshy-poo would like to rush on back to my home as quickly as possible, where he could take one with me.”

“And do you think it’s fine to just strip in the back of a van.” Glaring disapprovingly, Rebecca snorted in disgust as Olivia quickly slid completely out of her skirt and shoes.

“It’s fine,” Maria answered for her, from the driver’s seat of the luxury van. “You can make yourself comfortable as well, if you want,” she offered. “No one can see inside the back here, and our house is secluded by both trees and a wall.”

“Fine,” Rebecca snorted. “Then I’ll just strip as well!” Unbuttoning her pants, she quickly yanked them down while kicking her boots off.

“You should get naked too, Josh!” Laughing merrily, Olivia winked and blew a kiss over at him. “We know there’s a twenty-four-hour quest for Companion’s Familiarity, and that’s only for rank three, advanced. Rank four, which is probably the ‘transition rank’ again, will probably take forty-eight hours, if it doubles like usual, so the sooner that timer starts counting down, the better.”

“Makes sense,” Joshua agreed, as he hesitantly began to pull his own clothes off. Neither of the young ladies seemed as if they were the tiniest bit bashful getting naked in front of him — in fact, from the way they were glaring at each other, it almost seemed as if they were fighting over his attention — but that didn’t mean that he still didn’t find the situation odd and embarrassing!

“Don’t worry,” Olivia promised. “If your excitement gauge gets too high, I’ll be certain to kiss it and make it better.” Winking suggestively, she puckered her lips and used her hand to exaggeratingly blow a kiss below his belt line.

“And why would he be interested in your stinking mouth?” Rebecca snorted dismissively. “After all, he can indulge freely with any part of me!”

“Now, now, girls,” Maria interrupted. “Sir Josh really doesn’t need either of you younglings. He’s got two mature women in me and Nat to teach him all about the pleasures of being a man.”

“Pffftttft! Like you’d know anything about that,” Olivia snorted. “You’re just as much a virgin as either of us!”

“And virginity is like fine wine,” Maria assured them, matter-of-factly. “It only gets sweeter with time.”

“Unless it turns into vinegar,” Rebecca muttered, suddenly on Olivia’s side.

“Ummm… Don’t I get a say in this?” Joshua hesitantly asked, blushing slightly. Whenever his poor nerd mind had daydreamed about a guy having a harem in the past, the dreams never ended up like this!

Arriving at Olivia’s house, things settled down rather quickly. From previous experience, Joshua and Olivia knew that one of the requirements for the Companion’s Familiarity task was to always keep a set line-of-sight on each other, so they quickly confiscated Natasha’s master bedroom for the weekend. Built for the use of her motorized wheelchair, the room had a lot of open space and wide accessibility for ease of movement. The bed was a massive double-king, and even more importantly, there was a large adjacent bathroom attached to it.

“Come on in, guys,” Olivia laughed happily as she sat on the edge of the largest tub which Joshua had ever seen and playfully splashed the water as she filled it.

“We’ll take our baths in a bit,” Rebecca smirked. “Joshua is going to indulge himself on my body first.”

“What makes you think he’d do it with you now, where everybody’s watching?” Olivia wrinkled her nose and sneered at Rebecca. “He’s not an exhibitionist slut like you, who’s dying for people to notice him!”

“For points,” Rebecca shot back instantly, smirking lightly. “It’s worth whole user points and companion points to share myself with him within twenty-four hours. And that’s what’s important now, right? Earning points and growing stronger, to prepare for whatever the future might hold.”

“Only if you’re going the ‘slut route’,” Olivia snorted. “There’s points for saving yourself until later as well.”

“Yeah,” Rebecca agreed, still smirking, “but that’s only a single time event to earn points. Do it in twenty-four hours, and it’s repeatable. All Josh needs to do is invest as many points as possible into stamina, and then bounce me like he’s the Energizer Bunny on a pogo stick!”

“You can only lose your virginity once,” Olivia stressed, rolling her eyes slightly.

“That’s only because you’re an uncreative idiot,” Rebecca laughed. “I figure there’s once for my front. Once for my backside. Once for the mouth, and once for the twins,” she chuckled, squeezing her own breasts for emphasis. One foot job, one hand job, one knee job, once with the underarms, once…”

“Okay! Okay! We get it,” Olivia interrupted. “Geeze, you’re a real slut!”

“Sure I am,” Rebecca agreed wholeheartedly. “If you want to look at it like that,” she laughed. “And you are too, or else you’re just delusionally repressed.”

“I’m not like that,” Olivia snorted, easing down into the luxurious tub, and dipping her head down into the steaming hot water.

“Sure you are,” Rebecca taunted. “Or are you saying you’ll never give your partner a hand job? Or rub your toes against their crotch? Are you so pure and repressed that you’re never going to indulge in anything more than just plain old missionary sex?”

“I didn’t say that!” Olivia glared hard over at Rebecca, obviously annoyed.

“I really don’t see how you can pretend to be so chaste,” Rebecca taunted. “Especially if you’re going to stay as the First Wife and be the most experienced lover for our man. How’re you ever planning on teaching your underlings, if you’re not willing to experience various things for yourself?”

“I’m going to learn,” Olivia muttered moodily, as she slowly sunk down deeply into the water. “I just promised mother that I was going to save myself until after prom…”

“Oh hoho!” Rebecca laughed derisively. “Then your plan is to look down on me for now, while maintaining future goals to become an even bigger slut than I am!”

“Enough you two!” Sighing deeply, Joshua rubbed his head slightly, before easing over to slide down into the large spa-like tub near Olivia. “Points or no points,” Joshua assured them, “I’m not going to be bouncing anyone like some sex starved porn star this weekend!”

“Told you!” Sticking out her tongue at Rebecca, Olivia snuggled up tightly against Joshua’s side, to celebrate her victory.

“You both make good points,” Joshua sighed, trying to take the middle ground diplomatically. “You’re right,” he assured Rebecca, who was now easing into the tub and snuggling back against his left side. “And you’re right,” he told Olivia, who was pressed up tight to his right.

“We do need to make earning points and growing our number one priority,” he told them, “but, at the same time, I’m not a monkey who can perform on command. It doesn’t matter if you buy me a hundred points in stamina,” Joshua told Rebecca. “I can’t just whip it up and go for twelve hours with other people watching. I’d die from embarrassment!”

“Olivia’s right,” he beamed a smile over to his right. “Even if it costs us points, it’s better for the heart if a couple’s first time is private and intimate between just them.”

“HA!” Olivia crowed triumphantly.

“Then I guess it’s okay after the first time,” Rebecca taunted, sticking her tongue out towards Olivia. “I guess that means we’ll have all sorts of interesting experiences between now and the prom!”

“You… You… You…” Olivia sputtered, unable to come up with the proper response for Rebecca’s teasing.

“Now, now, girls.” Joshua sighed deeply once again, as he pulled both the young ladies up tight against him. “Can’t we all just get along?” He asked, pleadingly. “Besides, we should probably be trying to sort out how we want to start earning points from now on.”

“Aren’t we working on points now?” Olivia asked, giggling slightly as she started to squirt shampoo into her hair. “We’re earning them just from the ‘be naked and stare at each other’ quest.”

“I’m not,” Rebecca frowned worriedly. “We’ve all been naked together for more than half an hour now and I still haven’t gotten an update.”

“That’s weird,” Olivia muttered. “I’ve already earned my first points for ogling your naked body this evening.”

“I think she has to go to sleep to update her interface,” Joshua guessed. “She made a commitment to be mine earlier and the system gave her one of those ‘locked until you sleep’ type messages.”

“Then go to sleep already! Geeze!” Slashing water over at her, Olivia acted like it was the simplest thing in the world to sleep on command.

“I’m not tired,” Rebecca snorted, splashing water back past Joshua and over towards Olivia.

“Umm… Sleep?” Questioning whether it’d actually work or not, Joshua hesitantly issued a command to Rebecca.

“Huh?” For the briefest of moments, surprise flickered in her eyes, only for them to swiftly shut as sleep overtook her and she snuggled reflexively up against the side of Joshua’s chest.

“W... Wow! Did that just work?” Staring wide-eyed, Olivia wiped the soap from her eyes and blinked several times. “I know you’re supposed to be our ‘Eternal Lord’, and we’re supposed to follow your commands, but are they really that absolute?” Frowning heavily, it was obvious that the mere idea of it worried Olivia immensely.

“I don’t think so,” Joshua shrugged uncertainly. “Sleep?” Staring directly at Olivia, he tried out the command on her.

Almost instantly, Olivia yawned once, and then proceeded to stare at him like he was an idiot. “I can’t just shut off like she does,” Olivia snorted. “Even though I suddenly feel quite tired,” she yawned again, heavily, “I can’t just close my eyes and instantly pass out like that!”

“And I guess that shows the difference in you and her,” Joshua chuckled. Softly rubbing his hand up and down across Olivia’s bare back, Joshua told her, “You’re more like a soldier who has to follow their general’s orders, whereas she’s more like a robot with an on-off switch.”

“What type of dang commitment did she make to become like that?” Olivia asked, frowning heavily.

“I’d really rather not say,” Joshua told her, taking a lesson from what Rebecca had told him earlier.

“Oh… She told you what I’d figured out earlier…” Blushing slightly, Olivia hung her head lightly and buried it into Joshua’s shoulder. “Sorry,” she apologized, barely whispering. “I should’ve told you.”

“No, you shouldn’t,” Joshua snorted, as he squeezed her body up tight in his arms. “I understand your position entirely, and I don’t blame you one bit. In fact, I want you to stay exactly the way you are right now. Don’t change at all.”

“You… You’re not upset at me for not telling you personally?” Olivia asked, barely lifting her head high enough to gaze up at him from the top of her eyes.

“Not for that,” Joshua sighed, shaking his head slightly. “In a way, I’m happy you’re keeping somethings to yourself, and that you’re watching out for yourself first. I know you can’t betray me, and you must obey me,” he stressed, “but that doesn’t mean you must be my mindless puppet. I’m happy you’re still thinking for yourself.”

“What I’m upset and disappointed about,” Joshua sighed deeply, “is that you broke her.” Holding her up tight in his other arm, Joshua nodded his head towards Rebecca to show he was talking about her.

“I broke her?” Lifting her head to stare across his chest at the other girl, Olivia had to ask, “How?”

“You gave her an easy way out,” Joshua sighed, frowning down at Rebecca. “Take a girl whose whole life has been nothing but waiting to die. No friends. No goals. No real dreams or plans for the future. Just a bleak reality of endless darkness before you, and only one impossible dream in your heart that you can’t believe in — a chance to live even a day longer.”

“That girl was Rebecca,” Joshua murmured softly. “And then we made her dream come true. Suddenly, she had a whole lifetime before her… Can you imagine how lost and overwhelmed she had to have felt? To not just have the normal world open up for her, but this whole damned WRP system to boot?”

“And then you tell her about some Companion Commitment task where she can toss all those worries, choices, and decisions over to someone else?? Someone who can’t hurt her, betray her, or abandon her? Just what did you think she was going to do at that point?” Joshua asked, snorting lightly.

“I… I… I don’t know.” Olivia looked like she was going to start crying at any moment.

“She gave herself to me, one tiny piece at a time,” Joshua told her, matter-of-factly. “At least, she did, until she just gave up and offered me everything. Her body. Her mind. Even het points. The system has turned her into a True Slave,” Joshua sighed, sounding disgusted.

“You’ve truly broke her,” Joshua told Olivia again. “We’ve lost a companion who we could talk to and hear opposing viewpoints and perspectives from. Now she’s nothing more than a puppet to do whatever I want her to do,” he snorted, completely disgusted.

“I… I’m sorry,” Olivia whispered softly. “I didn’t want anything like that. I was honestly just trying to watch out for her and warn her to be careful.”

“I know.” Shaking his head sadly, Joshua leaned down and gently tilted Olivia’s chin up so she’d look back up at him fully. Leaning his head down slowly, he lightly pressed his lips against hers and kissed her softly. “But from now on,” he smiled sadly, “we’ll need to work together and communicate better from here on out, since all we can really rely on is each other.”

“Okay,” Olivia agreed, as a few soft tears slowly leaked out of the corners of her gentle blue eyes.

“I figure there’s just one thing we have to be extremely careful of, from now on,” Joshua warned.

“What’s that?” Olivia asked, resting her head against his chest in defeat.

“We’ve got to careful not to break your mother and Maria,” Joshua warned. “They’re both like Rebecca in respect to their futures being bleak and hard. Now that their lives have suddenly opened up with limitless possibilities, it may be overwhelming for them.”

“I don’t think we have to worry about that with mother,” Olivia smiled softly. “Her dreams have always been brighter than anything the universe can create, and the WRP system isn’t going to change that. And Maria,” she chuckled slightly, “isn’t going to ever be yours — she’s too much mother’s. Now, if she could make some sort of Companion’s Commitment to mother, we’d have to worry, but not for anyone else.”

“Well, that’s a relief,” Joshua said, smiling back at her gently. “Do you think we should try and wake her soon? I don’t know how long the update might take, or how long she’ll sleep since it was an order of mine that put her out like a light.”

“How about in a little bit longer?” Olivia asked, fluttering her damp eyelashes softly. “It’s kind of nice,” she admitted, “just relaxing here with the two of us, for a few moments.”

“Sure,” Joshua smiled down at her, gently stroking her bare back and side lightly. “And if you want,” he blushed lightly, “you can practice your… umm… oral presentation skills while we’re alone. If you’d like,” he added, barely whispering, as the crimson in his face darkened several shades.

“I can do that,” Olivia giggled, as she slowly slid down deeper in the water in the tub. Softly kissing her way down his chest, she eased her head down between his legs and strived her utmost to improve her skills.

“Well don’t the two of you look all snuggly together,” Rebecca teased, staring over at Olivia and Joshua as they snuggled close together upon her mother’s bed. “Did something happen while I was sleeping and being upgraded?”

“Oh, absolutely,” Olivia giggled. “I sucked every drop of vanilla out of his popsicle while you slept,” she taunted. “I doubt there’s any way you can get a rise out of him again this weekend, no matter how hard you try,” Olivia smirked, cradling Joshua’s head with her arm as he gently nuzzled and sucked on her breast lightly.

“You’re welcome to come join us,” Joshua offered, as he lazily lifted his head up to smile over at Rebecca. Gently patting Olivia’s other breast, he assured Rebecca, “You won’t find a pillow anywhere any better than these.”

“They are rather impressive,” Rebecca agreed as she slid into the bed, snuggled up on the other side of Olivia, and rested the side of her cheek gently atop her breast. “Just how much milk did you have to drink as a child to grow these things? I’d always thought you’d overstuffed your bra,” Rebecca admitted, staring in admiration at the large mound in front of her.

“It’s not milk,” Olivia laughed. “Mother thinks larger breasts opens up doors of possibility for a woman, so I take shots every week to help them develop.”

“Really?” Arching an eyebrow high, Rebecca was obviously wondering if Olivia was making fun of her.

“It’s all true,” Olivia giggled, watching the extreme reaction on Rebecca’s face. “You’ll see tomorrow — Saturday is always the day I get my shot. I’m going to make Joshua give it to me,” she taunted.

“What?” Looking up from where he was gently nuzzling against her breast, Joshua blinked stupidly hearing his name mentioned. “I’ve got to do what? To who?”

“You’ve got to take a couple foot long needles and stick them straight down into my nipples tomorrow,” Olivia giggled. “Normally my whole chest is sore for a day or two, but I figure you have the magic touch against that. After all, the system says you can’t harm me. Shouldn’t that mean you can give me my shot without it getting tender and painful?”

“Umm… Umm… So we were going to figure out our future plan for earning points,” Joshua answered lamely, in a poor attempt to avoid and change the subject. “Right now,” he muttered meekly, “we’re really just working on earning minor points. As nice as it is to stare at you girls being naked all the time, the quest only offers minor points. We need to start earning actual user points, which we can spend for skills and enhancements.”

“We will,” Olivia agreed, giggling lightly, letting him off the hook. “The main thing we’re really testing this weekend is if the fourth rank of the advanced version has an extra reward to it like rank four beginner level does.”

“There’s an extra reward for the fourth rank of staring at each other’s naked body?” Rebecca asked, having not earned it yet. “What is it?”

“Enhanced visualization,” Joshua chuckled. “You can close your eyes, concentrate, and visualize your companion’s naked body in your mind.”

“You never know,” Olivia giggled. “It might be important and save our lives some day. What if there’s an imposter who shape changes to look like one of us? Knowing all the minute details of your companions, you might be able to notice a flaw they failed to implement perfectly…”

“…Like these cute little freckles under your breasts,” Joshua agreed, as he gently lifted and squeezed her bosom.

“And that’s just for the last rank of the beginner task,” Olivia added, completely ignoring Joshua. “You can get it with just a couple hours of naked companion observation. What we’re shooting for this weekend is forty-eight hours of uninterrupted observation for the fourth rank of the advanced tasks.”

“Which is why we can’t leave each other’s line of sight, or go to sleep, even once this weekend,” Joshua added.

“I’m hoping it’s actually an amazing reward,” Olivia giggled. “After all, in its own way, it’s a rather hard task to complete. Two full days without sleep. Without any clothes, or any privacy. You can’t even go use the bathroom unless you shamelessly do so while everyone else is watching. And even if you find it embarrassing to watch someone else squatting on the toilet, you can’t take your eyes off them — or else the timer resets back to zero!”

“But it still only gives minor points,” Joshua sighed. “We might be embarrassing ourselves to death for this and find out the reward isn’t worth squat!”

“But isn’t that part of the thrill of it?” Olivia laughed lightly, obviously enjoying the uncertainty. “Right now, the possibility is endless. Honestly, I doubt the reward can live up to my expectations as it’s just a minor task — but that still doesn’t mean we shouldn’t do it!”

“It’s easy enough to accomplish,” Rebecca shrugged, finally entering back into the conversation, “and this might be the only chance we’d have to attempt it. Can you imagine having the luxury to sit around and relax with someone naked for two whole days, after the world changes? If this is the precursor to the apocalypse, other folks aren’t going to have the leisure time to adapt to things like we are,” she added, soberly.

“That’s true,” Joshua admitted, resting his head back down atop Olivia’s bare breast. “We’re truly lucky in that regard,” he mused, pensively. “At least we have time to safely stumble along, make mistakes, and learn as we go.”

“Forty-eight hours just staring at each other might end up being an almost worthless quest,” he admitted softly, “but at least we’re not wasting time allowing enemies to grow stronger, get closer, or stumble upon us. We don’t have to worry about running out of supplies and starving, while just ogling each other.”

“Yeah,” Rebecca agreed, smiling lightly as she tauntingly blew cool breaths across the peaked end of her pillow. “In some ways, even if the reward for this is a bust, at the worst, we can still call it a vacation.”

“I don’t know if I’d call it exactly a vacation,” Olivia muttered softly, squirming slightly as she was wedged helplessly between the two.

“If it is a vacation,” Joshua chuckled. Imitating Rebecca, he gently blew across the tip of Olivia’s breast which his head was resting upon. “Then it still needs to be a working vacation,” he added, smirking mischievously. “What do you guys think we should work to spend points on first? Do either of you have tasks which earn full blown points and companion points, rather than just minor points?”

“I’d suggest everyone upgrading physical stamina at least four levels first,” Rebecca giggled. Eyes twinkling, she winked over at Joshua. Slowly leaning forward, she gently flicked her tongue across Olivia’s nipple several times before continuing. “Trust me,” she grinned mischievously, “being tired and sick all the time sucks. Maxing out stamina, at least to the advanced level, should pay for itself over time, just by keeping everyone healthy and rested.”

“Eeeaaahh… Makes sense,” Olivia agreed with a soft moan, “but do… do you guys got to tease me so bad?”

“Absolutely,” Rebecca chuckled, leaning forward to gently bite on her nipple.

“You knooouuh,” Olivia moaned, “I… I don’t swing that way. I didn’t think you… you did either.” Stuck in the middle, with her arms pinned beneath Joshua and Rebecca, Olivia was starting to breath heavily as sweat slowly perspired across her body.

“Sure you do,” Rebecca giggled, caressing her hand gently up and down Olivia’s leg, all the way from her soft inner thigh to her knee. “Or at least you do now,” she reminded her. “You’ve got to train your concubines, and me and you are just as much companions as you and Josh are.”

“I earned enough points to buy stamina all the way up to level four for me and you,” Joshua told Rebecca, as the corner of his mouth twitched back and forth mischievously. “Should I go ahead and spend them for us?” Eyes twinkling, he did his best to mirror Rebecca’s movements as she softly kissed and rubbed all over Olivia.

“Sure…” Rebecca started.

“Ha… ha… ha…” Olivia breathed heavily, arcing her back slightly, interrupting.

“… but we should probably quit before she… umm… explodes and passes out,” Rebecca stressed, tauntingly. Stretching suddenly, she laughed merrily and suddenly rolled to sit back up on the edge of the bed.

“Done,” Joshua said, nodding his head towards Rebecca. “And done,” he repeated, grinning broadly as he raised his own stamina another notch. “And done again,” he chuckled, rolling over to sit up on the other side of the bed.

“You… You guys are evil,” Olivia moaned, as she laid sprawled out and twitching in the center of the bed. “Just… Just a moment more,” she half-pleaded and half-cried.

“Oh get used to it,” Rebecca giggled. “As our Lord’s first woman, it’s only fitting that you stay wet, excited, and ready for action at any time.”

“Maybe,” Olivia half agreed with a moan, as she slowly slid up to sit upright in the bed, “but there’s no reason to tease me so mercilessly now. We’ve agreed to save my purity until prom,” she reminded her.

“And you’re still pure,” Rebecca giggled, smirking heavily. “I figure between now and then,” she taunted, “we’ll be able to really train you to make you ready for the moment.”

“Josh!” Looking over at Joshua, Olivia had an indignant look on her face, as if she was expecting him to rescue her.

“Sounds like a plan to me,” Joshua chuckled, staring back at her with eyes twinkling. “Now,” he asked, setting the idea in stone, “what’s next for spending points on, and how are we going to earn them?”

“I don’t know,” Natasha giggled, barging into the bedroom without any warning, “but it’s time for dinner and a movie.” Wearing absolutely nothing, she shamelessly hopped up onto the bed, holding a half full wineglass in one hand, and an open bottle of wine in the other. “So what will it be, darling?” Leaning forward, she fluttered her eyelashes furiously at Joshua. “Do you want coffee, tea…”

“Or me,” Maria finished, pushing a small silver cart into the room. Wearing nothing but a thin lace apron, which only highlighted her womanly figure, Maria smiled brightly as she seductively swayed her way to the bed and eased over beside Joshua. Holding out a small bunch of grapes, she teasingly asked, “Would you like me to feed you?”

“Maria! I can do that!” Natasha half pouted. Wiggling up between the two, she tried unsuccessfully to take the bunch of grapes away from Maria.

“Mother!” Olivia’s face brightened a deep red as she admonished her mother’s shameful behavior. “Quit that,” she ordered. “If anyone is going to feed Josh, it should be me,” she added, firmly. “I’m his first woman, after all!”

“Umm… I… I can feed myself,” Joshua assured them, completely bewildered as Olivia wrapped her arms around his neck possessively, pulling him tightly into her embrace.

Only Rebecca seemed unfazed by the commotion, as she casually ignored everyone else. Easing up from the oversized bed, she was more interested in what was on the tray to eat, than she was in fighting over Joshua.
