Wiccan ways, my goddess. We want you. DC and Reed do too. Andy and I are a very open and loving couple, and honestly, you’re the first woman we’ve wanted in a long time. Be flattered.”
The men stretched across Phoebe and kissed each other, inches over her cleavage, and then each of them kissed her cheek.
“Thanks.” Phoebe looked at DC. “I think you’re making him uncomfortable.”
“No, really they’re not. I didn’t realize how natural it would seem.” DC adjusted his glasses. “But a witch is better than an all male group. The sacred feminine can -- but shouldn’t -- be discounted. It’s epic in the pagan history. Women are the key to life and connected to the deeper powers of the universe. It’ll make a difference, if it works.”
“Very true. If you connect to those beliefs and think of me as a stand-in goddess, the energy and powers will respond. I’m sure all of you would make the sacrifice to enhance your protection in order to destroy evil and save people.” Phoebe walked around to the back porch. “Reed is still on the phone.”
“Relax, Phoebe. Being with you isn’t a sacrifice. You’ve helped us so much with our work and never take any payment. The least we owe you is a few dozen orgasms.” Jude lifted an eyebrow at DC and then watched Phoebe smile. In college DC had been very open to sharing and sex play. Jude wanted to see his friend relax a little on his workaholic trip.
“Dozen? You’re not sex toys and neither am I. It’s a very natural expression of attraction and affection, but it complicates things. We all need to talk about it first,” she said.
“You won’t have a problem. We all want you. I didn’t think we were being subtle. Let’s work this out. Can I get you some coffee? Tea?” Andy offered.
“No, thank you. There is a major flaw to this plan that I don’t think we’ve considered.” Phoebe folded her arms.
“What? What could be so wrong? We’re all single or open to sharing. We’re all adults. Sex isn’t exactly a major trial to endure,” Jude said.
“You’re right. Sex is a neutral pleasure, not inherently good or bad. It’s the intentions and the feelings going into it -- or not -- which make the act lust or love. That’s the problem.” Phoebe studied the screen on her smart phone. “Lust.”
“Lust? We’re not into anything super kinky. No cameras or tying you up. We’re not like that. You’re more than safe with us.” Andy squeezed Phoebe’s shoulder.
“Good to know. But the feelings matter because they affect the magic. If it’s just sex, it’s just fun. Throw a spell on it and use raw lust to fuel it, and what you get is black magic. I don’t do that.” Phoebe shook her head.
“I don’t think that’s a problem,” DC replied.
Jude watched Phoebe chew her lower lip. Maybe it was a little bit of a shock to her, but they loved her.
He jumped in to keep from scaring her off. “Friends love each other. I love DC and Reed as well as Andy. I love you, and we all trust you with our lives and bodies. You can cast any spell you want on me, and it’ll only be good things.”
“Same goes for me.” Andy kissed her neck. “Jude says it much better than I do. Nothing about this will just be lust, though you are smoking hot. If I didn’t know you, I’d lust after you.”
DC nodded in agreement. “They’re right. Friendship is at the core, and we’re safe there. Not that you’re not a perfectly lust-inducing female, but part of my concern is trying not to ruin our friendships and working relationships. There are no guarantees it’ll work, and there are always complications from sex.”
“We may have to practice. I’m committed to do it as much as needed -- for the good of the group.” Jude smiled. “If we like it, who says we have to stop? We’ll need the magical protection to keep coming. It’s not like we’ll run out of evil to fight.”
“One step at a time. Phoebe might not be willing or interested in us
