The four of them turned simultaneously to see four identical Kaziens standing side by side. Their mana auras were equally strong, their smiles equally gentle.
"Let's go to sleep immediately. We have to be active tomorrow. Look, I've already split myself so I can make you all comfortable without any of you feeling ignored." said one of the Kaziens.
The eyes of his three fiancés immediately lit up.
"My Dear..." Alvin called out affectionately to the first Kazien.
"My Love..." Allen called to the second Kazien.
"My Hubby..." Arken called to the third Kazien in a low, seductive tone.
"Hm?" The Kaziens (the original and the clones) responded in unison.
"Please carry me to bed!" they shouted in sync.
Kazien smiled gently. Without saying much, the first Kazien picked Alvin up bridal style. The second Kazien did the same for Allen, who immediately wrapped his arms around his neck.
However, Arken was different. He walked up to the third Kazien, spreading his arms like a child asking to be held.
"Front carry, please..." Arken requested.
The third Kazien lifted Arken's body easily. Arken jumped lightly, wrapping both legs tightly around Kazien's waist. This position was far more intimate than the others. Their front bodies pressed together without a gap.
As Kazien began to walk, Arken deliberately tightened the grip of his legs. His erect shaft pressed right against Kazien's lower abdomen, providing a very noticeable friction with every step.
"You're doing that on purpose, aren't you?" whispered Kazien in Arken's ear, his voice deepening.
Arken chuckled softly, his warm breath hitting Kazien's neck. "Yes, I am! But you like it, don't you?" he whispered teasingly, then gently blew on his fiancé's earlobe.
Kazien sighed, trying to suppress his own body's reaction. "It's useless if you're trying to provoke my desire here. It won't succeed in making me lose control."
"No problem!" Arken replied nonchalantly, though his eyes glinted mischievously. He rubbed his shaft against him again with a subtle yet meaningful movement. "In that case, just let me do whatever I want while I'm in your arms. Let me enjoy this friction for my own satisfaction and happiness... My Hubby."
Kazien smiled wryly, tightening his grip on Arken's thighs to keep him from falling. "As long as it makes you happy and you don't force me to do it with you... go ahead and do as you please."
Although they were whispering, in the silence of the night, the hissing sounds of their conversation and their intimate tones could still be clearly heard by Alvin, Allen, and of course, Erica.
Alvin and Allen just glanced at each other and smiled knowingly. But Erica, her face was already as red as a ripe tomato. She hurriedly turned her face away, pretending she hadn't heard a thing, while walking quickly to follow the fourth Kazien who was opening the door for her.
This family... is truly full of surprises. thought Erica resignedly.
A few momen later inside the spacious room, the atmosphere was calm with the lighting dimmed, creating an environment perfectly conducive to rest.
Without wasting time, the four identical Kaziens immediately climbed onto the bed and laid down side by side. They lay on their backs, ready to become a resting place for their loved ones.
Alvin, Allen, and Arken immediately adjusted their positions on top of the three Kaziens.
Mwah!
The sound of soft kisses echoed almost simultaneously. Alvin, Allen, and Arken lowered their faces, kissing Kazien's lips with affection and tenderness.
"Goodnight, My Dear..." whispered Alvin softly.
"Goodnight, My Love..." said Allen with a smile.
"Goodnight, My Hubby..." said Arken in a spoiled tone.
The three Kaziens, gazing at the faces of their fiancés, smiled warmly and returned the look. "Goodnight to you too, Alvin, Allen, Arken."
After the goodnight ritual was over, the three of them immediately lowered their heads. Comfortably, they rested their heads on Kazien's chest, finding the most perfect spot, then closed their eyes. Kazien's steady heartbeat became a natural, comforting lullaby for them.
Meanwhile, Erica, who witnessed the scene from the side of the bed, stood frozen in silence. Her eyes blinked in disbelief.
For a girl just getting to know the outside world, seeing three people sleeping piled on top of their fiancé's body was highly unusual. However, in her eyes, the three of them looked so peaceful and comfortable.
"Erica?"
That voice snapped her out of her daze. The fourth Kazien, the only one whose chest was still empty turned toward Erica, who was still standing stiffly at the edge of the bed.
"Why are you just standing there silently? Come up, let's sleep. It's already late." Kazien invited gently.
Erica gulped nervously. She looked at Kazien's face, then shifted her gaze to her brother's body.
"D-Do..." Erica stuttered for a moment, her finger pointing at Kazien's chest. "Do you want me to sleep on top of your body too? Like them?"
Kazien chuckled softly. "That is up to you, Erica. You are free to choose whether you want to sleep on top of my body or on the bed beside me. I just want to ensure you sleep soundly."
There was not a hint of pressure in Kazien's words. His sincerity caused Erica's nervousness to slowly fade.
Erica thought for a moment. They look very comfortable. she thought. Curiosity and the desire to feel the warmth of family finally overcame her awkwardness.
Slowly, Erica took off her slippers and climbed onto the bed. With careful movements, she positioned herself on top of the fourth Kazien.
When her body touched Kazien's, Erica was surprised. It turned out to be far more comfortable than she had anticipated. Kazien's body felt warm and sturdy, providing a sense of safety that no pillow or bolster could offer.
She looked at Kazien's face from a very close distance. Their faces were almost touching. Suddenly, a wave of insecurity hit her.
"Hey, Brother Kazien..." she whispered softly. "Am I heavy? If I am heavy, I can get down."
Kazien shook his head gently, his hand rising to stroke Erica's soft purple hair. "No! You aren't heavy at all, Erica. You are as light as a feather." Kazien answered soothingly.
Erica's eyes sparkled hearing that answer. The drowsiness she had been holding back now hit her hard due to the comfort blanketing her body.
"Really? Thank goodness..." Erica mumbled, her eyes starting to half-close. "I'm already so sleepy, Brother. In that case, goodnight..."
"Yes, goodnight to you too, Erica. Sweet dreams."
Erica slowly laid her head on Kazien's chest. Her ear pressed exactly where Kazien's heart was beating.
The sound of the steady heartbeat and the warmth of her cousin's body made Erica feel incredibly protected. It didn't take long for her breathing to become regular. Erica fell into a deep sleep on top of Kazien's body, following Alvin, Allen, and Arken into the dream world.
