When Avery woke up, he found Liesel still sleeping heavily with her arms wrapped around him.
Last night they had both let themselves become fully engrossed in enjoying each other's bodies.
At first, Avery had been slow and methodical to make sure that Liesel was relaxed and ready, but once she started to get used to the new sensations, she turned into a bit of a beast and matched Avery's energy.
Thanks to their enhanced physiques, the two of them had massively increased stamina. A positive, or potentially a negative thing depending on how one viewed it.
"I might have been a bit too rough on her at the end for her first time, though." Avery mumbled, recalling the events of last night.
For around an hour, Liesel kept up with him without a problem, but after that she started to slow down until she was just laying their moaning as Avery had his way with her.
Still, she never once asked him to stop or slow down, and she seemed to have been enjoying herself even when she was on the brink of exhaustion.
Avery just lay there and watched Liesel sleep for a few minutes, wondering if she was going to wake up anytime soon.
She looked incredibly cute and defenseless right now, a strange contrast to how she was whenever she was working.
Eventually, Avery realized that she was not going to be getting up anytime soon.
Not wanting to wake her up, he continued to let her rest while hugging him. It also did not hurt that her chest was pressed up against him, allowing Avery to feel a very pleasant sensation.
To pass the time, he grabbed his terminal to entertain himself.
Yet, the first thing he found was a series of messages from Kasandra and Jasmine.
Obviously, the two of them knew what was going on already. They had approved of Avery's relationship with Liesel, and honestly, they both liked her enough that they had pushed for Avery to accept her.
Ultimately, it had been his decision, but he did not see any reason to refuse Liesel when this was what she wanted.
Avery had offered her a chance to get away from the Kaizer fleet and pave her own path. Something that she had not known she really wanted until it was right in front of her.
Of course, Liesel had not chosen to pursue him romantically just as a means to leave behind the family that had always treated her as second class.
There was plenty for her to like about Avery.
He was handsome, well-off, as strong if not stronger than her, a competent and caring leader, around the same age as her, and it was obvious from how he treated Kasandra and Jasmine that he cherished his lovers.
These were all aspects that would be fairly difficult to find in another person. So, it only made sense that Liesel had taken her shot when it presented itself.
Now that she had sealed the deal so to speak, she was very satisfied.
Once Liesel finally roused, she smiled when she looked up and saw Avery's face.
She knew what it meant to be loved since her father and mother cared deeply about her but yesterday had shown her something special.
A type of affection only possible between people that were physically intimate with each other.
"Good morning. How do you feel?" Avery asked when he noticed that Liesel was awake.
"Honestly, I'm still a bit drained. And kind of sore. So, I don't know if I can handle going another round."
Liesel blushed as her gaze was directed towards a part of Avery that she was now well acquainted with that was standing at attention.
"Don't worry, that's just a natural reaction. You don't need to worry about it." Avery replied a bit bashfully.
He then quickly changed the subject.
"How about we get cleaned up and head over to my quarters. Kasandra and Jasmine want to eat breakfast together. Only if you're okay with doing so, though?"
She only contemplated for a moment before nodding her head.
There was no reason for Liesel to be wary of either Kasandra or Jasmine in the first place. They were the ones that had encouraged her to pursue Avery despite having already been in relationships with him.
"I guess that they're sort of like my older sisters now. I'm a bit excited since I've always been an only child." Liesel said before getting up and heading over towards the bathroom
Avery followed right behind her, grateful that his lovers had chosen to form a close bond rather than try and compete with each other. He had no idea what he would do in such a scenario where one of them was antagonistic towards another one.
After getting washed up, Avery and Liesel crossed over into Avery's quarters and found Kasandra and Jasmine already sitting at the small dining table in the kitchen area.
"Would you mind preparing the food for all of us, Avery. Jasmine and I want to talk with just Liesel for a bit."
Knowing that refusing Kasandra's request was not really an option, Avery headed over to the autochef while Liesel took her seat at the table.
While he was not trying to eavesdrop, Avery's keen hearing allowed him to pick up some of the conversation going on between the three of them.
He heard his two wives asking Liesel how it was, and the term, beast go thrown around in relation to him a couple of times.
Once Liesel had gotten over her initial embarrassment after Kasandra and Jasmine opened up about their first times with Avery, she animatedly joined in the conversation as well.
"Here's the food. I went ahead and had the autochef make everyone's favorites."
Avery quickly and deftly put the plates down in front of the three of them, before taking his own spot at the only empty seat.
They all dug into the food immediately, with Liesel eating faster than she normally would. Th extra energy she had expended yesterday had left her feeling famished.
By the time that the four of them were finishing up, Kasandra turned towards Avery to tell him the decision that she, Jasmine, and Liesel had come to.
"So, since she's the newbie, we figured that we would let Liesel have you all to herself during the journey to our destination. Jasmine and I have already had extended periods of time where we had you to ourselves after all. On the way back though, you'll need to make sure to pay enough attention to all three of us."
Liesel's cheeks were tinged red when Kasandra said this out loud, but she certainly did not look bothered by the arrangement.
As for Kasandra and Jasmine, they had a hint of loneliness in their eyes, but they still smiled happily at their new younger sister.
"Sure, if all of you are in agreement, I'm not going to argue. I know that that is a quick way for me to get burned." Avery responded.
So long as it was not too drastic, Avery was going to be fine with whatever the three of them decided on.
He liked spending time with any or all of them. It was easier for him to just go with the flow here and enjoy his loving relationships.
