I don't know what's the most sad event in my life right now.
The fact that I lost my whole career of success.
The fact that I made love to Laurent in Amber's room and came inside; meaning that my hard-to-get game is over and I'll make up with her.
The fact that I made love to Amber as well and took her delicious virginity right next to Laurent.
No doubt the saddest is the fact that I don't remember the last two. I don't know how many pints of that whiskey I took, but it was enough to give me short-term amnesia. All I know is these two ladies are filled to the brim and my crotch is numb like mashed it up in a boxing match. I'd have to be a monkey to not know what happened.
Laurent woke up first while I contemplated my choices in life. I can't escape this situation... they're both filled up, which means they could get pregnant if action is not taken. I'm not ready to have a child with Laurent, much less Amber... much less the two of them!
I'm happy but devastated, happivastated. This is the perfect time to log in to Evanescence and forget who Carter is... I'm Banks, a human assassin who defeated one of the strongest demonesses in that game, Valeria, without even hitting her.
Sadly, when Laurent went to the kitchen to take a knife and slaughter Amber while having me as her accomplice, I knew it wasn't time for games.
She returned with the creepiest of smiles, her eyes almost lifeless. It was a psychotic contrast considering her delicious body was still naked, sweaty and stained with my scent... well if I don't stop her, soon she will be stained with Amber's blood as well.
"Laurent you need to calm down, you're not thinking rationally" I held her hand that was holding the knife tightly, I can easily overpower her in strength.
She shook many times, never dropping that smile, in her eyes was only the sweaty and tainted body of Amber who seemed to be uncomfortable now that I was gone.
"Carter, if we don't kill her it is going to be troublesome, you don't know who she is... let me do this darling, trust me please?"
"How the hell do you want me to trust you?! you're talking about committing homicide! I don't know what her background is but surely f*cking her can't be worse than outright killing her!"
Whoever I just offended by taking Amber's virginity... I'm sure that person will get even more offended if she's killed.
I took the knife away from Laurent and tossed her to the bed, next to Amber who was now fluttering awake.
"We'll wait for her to wake up, then we can talk... you wanted to talk, right? Now we have no choice but to talk... and here I was, wanting to do some quests today".
"Do you think this is the best time to play games? after you just impregnated two women? who also happen to be the worst enemies?!" I can tell she's angry that I just yanked the knife away. Even then, that wouldn't stop her; I saw Laurent crawling towards Amber with a pillow, her intentions clear.
This hottie of a psycho!
I jumped on her after dropping the knife far away and she struggled under me, her vicious lifeless eyes wondering why I was stopping her as if killing Amber right now was the natural choice of action.
"Stop, I won't say it twice".
"..."
She finally calmed down after a few seconds of my sitting on her abdomen, pinning her hands at either side of her head.
"You're on the pill, right?"
"I'm darling, but... I may not take this pill unless you let me kill her~"
'I knew it... I mean, I didn't know she was this psychotic, but I knew she'd try to use this mistake of mine to her advantage'.
"Very well, then we will become father and mother".
"E-Eh?"
"You won't take the pill, right? Then we will become parents".
"..."
Apprehension started filling her up, 'Do you think I don't know you, Laurent? you want to have a kid, but you're afraid of having a kid because you didn't have a mother... you don't know how you will perform. I'll use this against you'.
"R-Really? darling... I-I mean" the light returned to the eyes that were evading mine.
"We can make many more right now if you want" I tempted her.
"..."
"More babymaking? I would like that too~"
Amber woke us up from the delusions we were having with her voice, to the side I looked and found her gorgeous body lying sideways, rubbing her lower belly and looking straight at my eyes.
"We've done it now, boss... there is no going back".
"I wanted to talk to you-"
"I want to talk too but let's take a shower first and have breakfast, I'm so hungry!~"
Amber took both of my cheeks and planted a searing kiss on my lips right in front of Laurent before she stood up and walked towards the toilet with odd strides.
"I'll take a shower as well" Laurent struggled out of my grasp.
"Don't try anything..." I warned her, although there isn't really anything in the toilet she can use, right? how is she going to kill Amber, with a toothbrush?
"I won't~ please prepare some breakfast for us, I'm hungry as well".
"Sure... sure" I don't know how this conversation is going to go. By all right, it is not that weird. Three colleagues having a threesome, that's a tale you'd often hear at the bar every weekend.
The difference is that those two don't like each other... and that I came inside the two of them with no regard for protection whatsoever. I don't know how this conversation is going to go at all. For now, I'll just prepare some sandwiches, I hope Amber has everything here.

"Ugh! Let go!"
Inside the massive bathtub of the luxurious bathroom, a fight had broken loose... one of them unarmed, the other with a deadly weapon, a toothbrush.
"I hate you!" Laurent cursed while struggling against Amber's strength, the woman had taken a toothbrush and lunged at her! Initially, it was Laurent's plan to take a towel and wrap it around Amber's neck. Who would have thought the brunette took the initiative!?
"You tried to kill me just now!"
"Because you deserve death!"
Seeing that they were going nowhere, Amber twitched her tongue and separated from an exalted Laurent whose chest heaved up and down as she recovered her breath.
"Hmph, we have reached this stage now... I don't mind sharing, just be obedient and accept to be the number two, Laurent".
"You're getting on my nerves... even if I wanted to share -which I don't! why am I number two? I came first and you're just a homewrecking stealing cat!"
"It seems we won't reach an agreement".
"I don't care about agreement, you have to take the pill, Amber".
"Why do I have to do whatever you tell me? illegitimate child..."
!!!
The jab hit where it hurts. So much so that Laurent's every move stopped dead, if Amber wanted to really kill her, now it was the time. But seeing the depressed state she had left the blonde in, she figured with that, it had been enough.
With people in their status, the 'illegitimate child' label, was equivalent to a lifetime of shame.
"If Carter is with me, I can talk to Father about his decision to shadowban him after my brother's idiocy... but he will only do it if he and I are in a relationship. I can save his career, do you understand?!"
"..." Laurent's eyes flinched, she hugged her knees inside the bathtub and didn't say a word. In the meantime, Amber had her shower... she regretfully cleaned her crotch away and by the time she finished, Laurent was still there, now with tears in her eyes.
She sighed and took the soap before scrubbing away the underside of Laurent's massive jugs.
"What are you doing?"
"Cleaning you, if you don't want then do it yourself".
"Thank you, I can do it myself..."
"You're supposed to say you're okay with me cleaning you".
"..."
Laurent's eyebrows twitched, unaware of what the girl's intentions were, she still hated her but appreciated her consideration. Amber started scrubbing as her intentions became clearer and clearer.
"I don't want to steal your relationship... I just want to be happy" Amber stated suddenly while scrubbing the blonde's hair, 'Such a beautiful blonde hair... it is like gold strands'.
"There are too many good men in this world, why my man, Amber?".
"I'm sorry... there may be many good men. But I have only met him. I couldn't help myself... I know this is not fair for you, but I've never been denied anything in my life. I want him... even if I have to make it work with you, I don't care... but you have to be the number two because that's the best for him right now".
"I don't want to... everything because of your brother".
"I'm sorry for that too, but my brother is not me... my father is not a bad person either, he just allowed himself to be swayed by my brother's words".
"Why didn't you say anything to stop it?"
"I did... but my words had no weight as Carter is just my 'colleague'... if we had been more than that, the story would be different... I'm sure my father would have hated him since I'm the pearl in his eyes, but with enough tantrums from me, he'd have accepted".
"It is so good to be legitimate..." Laurent stated, looking down to the flowing water of the bathtub with a voice overflowing with self-mockery.

It took them a while to leave the toilet. Regarding their little strife and assassination attempt, Carter was none the wiser. He prepared some scrambled eggs and toast and waited for his turn to have a shower.
Both ladies came out fresh, wearing bath robes... one with a cheerful expression, the other with a depressed expression.
"What happened, Laurent?"
"Nothing..."
"You should have taken the shower with us, boss~"
"Just call me Carter, Amber... remember I'm no longer your boss. Forget it, I'll have a shower once I'm back at my place"
The three sat down to have their breakfast which wasn't anything special. Carter sighed in relief when the atmosphere wasn't as poisonous as he expected it to be.
His dream was for the two of them to become his girlfriends... but that was just a dream, an illusory hope for the impossibility of reality. Hence, his most realistic expectation was for Amber to say she didn't mind it, she'd take the pill and they'd go back to how things were. As for Laurent... he'd make up with her and that would be it.
"I see, if that works for you. You know you're not my boss, but you could be again~"
"Eh?" He didn't understand what she meant, but Amber also wasn't going to explain just yet.
Amber sat down and started to munch away, Laurent also did the same but she never touched her food; taking the fork she merely fiddled with the scrambled egg from one side to the other, deep in thought.
'It is true that Amber can be of more help to him than I am'.
"Why aren't you eating? it is not like you" He questioned, she'd usually be devouring anything he prepared.
"I don't have an appetite, sorry..."
Clearly, something wasn't right, he didn't like to see Amber all cheerful while Laurent was so downcast as if she had experienced defeat after the two came to a secret arrangement.
He took her hand, then her chin and drew her into a passionate and unexpected kiss.
"I love you, Laurent... that hasn't changed".
She gasped while Amber felt her chest flinch a little at his confession.
"I know it was a crazy night for the three of us... we could or could not blame alcohol, but what is done is done... I only have one question, can things go back to how they were?" He asked hopefully.
"They can't..." Amber answered, as still as a calm lake, "I can no longer see you as just my boss... I want more".
!!!
"I want to do it again, this time without alcohol~ you have taken me, Carter... take responsibility~"
"Are you on the pill, or?" He asked with fright, the way she spoke was like summoning him to propose marriage on the spot.
"I was a virgin so of course I'm not taking any contraceptives... but I'll book a day with my private gynaecologist tomorrow and get the pills, so don't worry, hubby~ I'm not ready to have kids yet" Amber confessed, this time, bolder... it was she who crossed the boundary, took Carter's chin, and planted a kiss on the lips that had just claimed Laurent's.
He gasped and look with astonishment between the two, only to see that Laurent had lowered her gaze and started eating her scrambled eggs, albeit slowly.
'W-What is this odd dynamic?!'
"You should use my private practician instead, Amber".
"Why?"
"Your father must have contact with your private gynaecologist about your record, he will know..." Laurent sighed, talking from experience.
"You're right".
"Why does it matter?" Carter didn't understand the conversation. Both girls looked at each other before nodding, Laurent taking the lead.
"There are many matters that I wanted to talk to you about once we were alone, Carter. My father's background was one of them, I figured it was time to tell you who I really am. Another was about some research I did on the synapse and Evanescence. I'm sure you have time, don't you?".
