The hivemind is conquering for me?

I felt relieved when history repeated itself. Janine had drank a considerable amount and like last time, it got her all hot and bothered for a moment before she passed out in my arms in the elevator.

After tucking her in and allowing myself another peek at the goods for her reckless behaviour, I left the apartment and returned downstairs. Upon the door dinging open, I got a surprise of Kathrine, Valerica and Hailey waiting for me.

Upon noticing me, Kathrine smiled with her entire face as she turned to her mother. ”See, I told you he would not take advantage of Janine.” I furrowed my brow hearing that and turned to the other two and asked. ”You thought I would take advantage of my friend?”

”That is not what I said you little shit!” Valerica snapped, as she turned to berate her daughter. ”I said. ’My that Sepiidan is a handful when drunk, I hope Apollo can handle her.’ You were the one that brought up the fact he would not do that.”

Hailey said nothing as the Hyllus’ bickered for a moment and stared at me and smiled in a way that kind of creeped me out. Wanting the smile to end, I asked the redheads. ”So, were you heading up to bed?”

Valerica did a 180 upon hearing my question and went from shouting to a doting coo. ”I am Apollo. A big day tomorrow, seeing you off. My baby. It felt like just the other week you came into my life and now you are leaving me!”

She proceeded to place her hand on her chest and looked away as though she was about to cry. ’Because that is exactly what happened, you old bat.’ Hailey thought to herself before she replied.

”Yeah, I am going to sleep as well. Got to get my ship ready for docking travel. Can’t have it a mess when we stop at my asteroid, my second in command will never let me hear the end of it.”

The three of them then entered the elevator and I rode it up with them. Valerica and Hailey got off at their floor, however, Kathrine stayed behind with me in the elevator. ”Kat?” I said leadingly to which she turned to me. ”Hmm? Oh! Sophia invited me up for a conversation that has to do with our business. Don’t worry, I won’t get in the way of your fun time. By the way she was staring at you all night, I assume it is Samantha’s turn?”

I smiled, impressed by Kathrine’s observation. ”You are spot on Kat, it is her first time as well, so it’s like a going away present to her. She deserves it after all.” Kathrine smiled upon hearing that. ”Good for her. I always liked her.”

As she said that, the elevator dinged open and the pair of us walked into the living room. ”Apollo-” Samantha shouted as soon as she heard the elevator ding, but stopped herself upon noticing Kathrine.

She looked dejected as I continued to walk into the room, as she expected our engagement to be postponed due to the present company. So she was surprised and yet out a girly yelp as I picked her up over my shoulder and marched her upstairs wordlessly, ignoring the onlookers.

When Kathrine heard the bedroom door close upstairs, she turned to Sophia and asked. ”So I heard from our handsome man that It is Samantha’s first time?” ’Our?’ Sophia thought as she looked the woman up and down, finding her much more pleasant to be around for some reason.

In the end, she let the word fly past as she replied. ”Yes it is indeed. Do you fancy a wine?” Kathrine smiled hearing that. ”Oof, poor girl. I remember I could not walk after the first time. Oh and a red please dear.” She said

Sophia giggled internally. ’You have no idea.’ she thought as she recollected on what Samantha had been up to the past few weeks. As Sophia opened the bottle of wine that was on the table, Orchid walked into the room, fully naked holding her dress in her hand.

”Sophia, where should Orchid put this?” Her eyes then went wide with surprise upon noticing Kathrine. ’Weird, Orchid could not smell the woman before she entered the room.’ Kathrine’s eyebrows raised as she took in the 6ft6 woman before her.

”Wow Orchid. You have an incredible body.” She admitted. ’The woman is built like a sculpture. I cannot see one imperfection.’ She thought to herself. ” I Know.” Orchid said casually before turning back to Sophia for an answer.

”Just put it on the back bed. I will find a place for it when you are gone.” Sophia said casually and watched as the calm Orchid walked all the way upstairs without a sound. ’Something weird is happening.’ She thought to herself before looking back at Kathrine.

”Sorry about that Kathrine, she doesn’t like dresses and wanted it off immediately the second we came upstairs.” She then walked towards Kathrine and handed her a glass of wine before sitting down next to her.

”So, what is it you wanted to discuss Sophia? And where are the others while Apollo is at play?” Kathrine asked, making a broadcasted look around the room. ”Onyx is watching over her student so to speak and Nerissa is in the guest room. She made the mistake of watching Apollo and Onyx the other night and now secludes herself to that room once she knows lovemaking is on the horizon.” Sophia replied, before getting to the reason she called Kathrine upstairs.

”Now Kathrine. You more than anyone know my sweets Philosophy to sharing his love at this point. And considering how much of an impact you have had on his growth. I thought it is only fair that I offer you a final night with Apollo. A gesture of goodwill for our future endeavours.”

Kathrine furrowed her brows hearing that and asked confused. ”I thought tonight was Samantha’s night? Why are you offering me an opportunity to get some?” Sophia scoffed at Kathrine’s question for she knew things Kathrine did not.

”Trust me Kathrine, Samantha will not last as long as us. Apollo will still be raring to go after Samantha. I will be getting some tonight as well. Only fair I offer the same to his favourite paramour.”

Kathrine felt an exhilarating warmth in her chest at being called Apollo’s favourite anything. It satisfied an itch deep down she did not know she had. She wanted to hear it again, from his mouth. Over and over and over again. Which made what she said next sound bizarre, even to her.

”No thank you.” Sophia looked at Kathrine with a look of befuddlement. That anger then turned into a mix of both rage and concern towards the woman in front of her. ”Explain yourself, woman. Are you suddenly too good for my beloved? If I don’t find your answer to my satisfaction we will have serious problems.”

Who wouldn’t want Apollo? He is the most amazing being in all of existence. Nothing compared! How could this cock hungry prey, lesser being, suddenly say no to a night with him?

”Woah, Sofia, settle down. Yes I want to have sex with Apollo, I always do. What I am saying no to is your proposition.” Sofia looked at Kathrine, her anger subsiding a great deal before she nodded for her to continue.

”I love Apollo. I do. I did not mean for it to happen. It was supposed to be a casual fling during my mission, but I love him now, end of story. So I will not have sex with him as a ’goodbye present.’ Or a ’final night.’ No, instead I will make love to him when he returns to me. Because I know he will.”

Sophia looked at the woman, again with befuddlement. ”Stay here.” She said as she stood up and walked to the kitchen. A few seconds later, Sophia entered the room with a small knife. ”Hold out your hand.” She said to the confused Kathrine, who obliged and held it out.

Sophia then pricked Kathrine’s finger to acquire a small amount of blood on the tip of the blade before walking back to the kitchen. Once inside, she licked the blade and closed her eyes to concentrate.

’No Hive material, no poison. A decent amount of Apollo’s lingering Psionic energy mixed in with hers; she must have absorbed it from being in his presence at some point. Still though, 100% human.’ She thought to herself.

”Then why is she suddenly acting so strange?”

Sophia left the kitchen and sat back down with Kathrine. ”Sorry about that, you were acting strange, so I had to check you were not poisoned.” Kathrine raised her brow hearing this, but said nothing as she let Sofia continue.

”Ok then Kathrine. I understand your point. Would you like to stay here tonight so you may ’make love’ with Apollo once he is done with Samantha?” Kathrine smiled upon hearing Sophia’s request and replied with a soft smile.

”I would love to.”
