When Jack was done, he patted Miranda’s ass, and she got up to make room for Naoko.
Naoko practically jumped onto his lap and mounted him enthusiastically before leaning in to kiss him fervently. However, despite her outwardly enthusiastic actions, he could sense her trepidation over their connection.
When he enabled his soul bond sense, he learned that she was receptive but also reluctant. So he paid special attention to her soul as he pulled her close.
He could feel some resistance as he pulled her closer, but it wasn’t because she didn’t want the soul hug, but because she didn’t think she was worthy of it.
He knew the way her family had treated her had negatively affected her, but hadn’t expected it to be this severe.
He didn’t want to force it, so instead of trying to pull her in, he pushed a strong sense of invitation to her soul, wanting her to know that he welcomed her to him.
There was a pause, then her soul moved towards him on its own and nuzzled into his soul embrace.
When it was complete, and his attention returned to Naoko’s physical presence, he found she was sobbing into his chest. But over their connection he could sense that she was sobbing with joy and relief.
At first, the girls looked on with concern, but they all quickly got knowing looks.
Naoko calmed down quickly and kissed him fervently before saying, "Thank you. I’m so happy, it’s hard to describe."
Eventually he got Naoko to dismount him. Then, he took Madison into one of the bungalow private rooms and gave her the same sense-sharing ability that he’d given to Rina and Samantha.
When he came out, he found Katie waiting for him. She also wanted the sense-sharing ability, so he took her into the room and gave it to her.
When they returned to the front of the bungalow, he found all the girls still milling around.
Seeing his questioning look at the sight of all of them waiting, Lorie stepped forward and asked, "Are you going to summon Analise and Robin? We thought we should meet them together." Follow current novᴇls on Novᴇl_Fire(.)net
He had told everyone about his plan to summon copies of Analise and Robin to the beach party so he could learn if they could handle being in his harem. Analise he was fairly certain would cope, but he was uncertain about Robin.
"I was planning to do that next. Though I wonder if bringing them here while everyone is naked might be a bit too much for them."
"I think it will be fine," said Lorie. "I suspect it will be a bit of a shock to Robin, but from what you’ve told me of the girl, I think it will do her some good."
"Alright. I’ll summon them now."
He located them both and found that Analise was at home studying and Robin was at her grandfather’s Krav Maga academy, training.
He templatized both, making sure to include only their bodies, not their clothes, then summoned them.
Because Analise was sitting when he templatized her, he grabbed a chair from a nearby table and summoned her into it. But Robin was standing, so he summoned her in front of him, standing next to Analise.
When they appeared, he gave them the usual subconscious obedience modification, but only long enough to command them to be honest with him and themselves. This way they would be honest about how they felt, but would not otherwise feel compelled to obey him.
"Analise. Robin," he said. "You each are copies. Your originals are unaware of any of this. I brought you here so that I can assess how well you handle meeting my harem, and so that I can talk to you about a possible soul bond."
Robin dropped into a stance, then looked around.
Analise jumped up and rushed to him, wrapping her arms around him.
"Jack!" she said enthusiastically, clearly happy to see him. She either didn’t notice, or didn’t care that she and he were naked.
However, Robin noticed all the naked girls standing nearby, then looked down at herself and noticed that she too was naked.
"Eep!" she squeaked and tried covering herself.
He’d never seen Robin naked and took a moment to appreciate her athletic figure. She was the same height as Madison and Naoko, only taller than Rina among all his girls, but had more definition in her legs and shoulders than any of his girls.
Her hips were as wide as Madison’s but she had smaller B-cup sized breasts, and her mons and vulva were covered in a patch of trimmed, curly dark brown hair.
"Why am I naked?!" she cried.
"Everyone else is naked, so it would have been weird if you were the only one clothed," he said.
"Then why is everyone else naked?" she complained. Then she exclaimed, "And why are you naked?!"
"It’s a private beach party, Robin. And everyone else is part of my harem. So why bother with clothes?"
Analise had released him to look around when Robin first complained. Then, on seeing Miranda and Samantha, she walked over and gave them both a hug.
"Jack," she called. "Will you introduce me to the rest of your harem?"
He grabbed Robin’s arm and pulled her towards Madison.
"What?!" she exclaimed, but allowed herself to be moved.
He stopped in front of Madison and said, "This is Madison, my only childhood friend and first soul bond. She’s a computer wiz and is working on becoming an AI expert."
Madison stuck her hand out towards Robin and said, "Hi, Robin. Nice to finally meet you."
Faced with the choice of either snubbing Madison or maintaining her modesty, Robin relented and uncovered her breasts to shake Madison’s hand.
Analise walked over and said, "Hi, Madison," while sticking out a hand.
Madison shook Analise’s hand while saying, "Hi, Analise. Jack told me about your hiking trip together, and I have to say I’m a little jealous. Maybe we can go together sometime next summer?"
