Tom awoke to Alice's smiling face.

"Uhnnnn….." Tom said.

"I'm sorry, Tommy," Alice said. "I was a little hard on you. But I can't just let a mere human 'hora hora' me. If it were to get out that some human had hora hora'd me, I'd lose all my legitimacy. No monster would respect me."

"Uh huh," Tom replied, his voice a squeak.

"But look on the bright side!" Alice said cheerfully. "On my world, what I did would have killed you! Here, it's just the best blowjob you'll ever receive!"

"You would have killed me if I'd hora hora'd you on your world!?" Tom asked, finally finding his voice.

"Well, not intentionally," Alice replied. "I would have brought you to the brink of death and back, then started all over again. But my control isn't very good yet due to my lack of experience."

Tom waited for her to laugh and tell him she was joking, but her thin smile never broke. Were these actually good people? What else could he say that might prompt her to attack his penis in such a way as to make him feel as if he might die of a heart attack?

Of course, knowing in this world that he wouldn't die….

"Any chance we can try this thing where I make love to you again?" Tom asked hopefully.

"Are you sure?" Alice asked.

"What's the worst that could happen?"

"Why do I get the feeling you're daring me to show you?"

"What do you take me for?" Tom asked innocently. "Some kind of pervert?!"

"Damn pervert!" Alice replied, this time laughing heartily. "Welllll…" she said, running her finger along his chest. "If you're that brave, you're free to try to please the Monster Lord again."

Tom smiled and turned to his side. As much as he liked talking to his lovers while pleasuring them, he thought that perhaps he should let his actions speak rather than his words. Still, sex in total silence didn't seem right to him.

"Alexa, romance playlist," he said.

"Who is Alexa?" Alice asked. "Oh, there's music now?"

"Just a little something to set the mood," Tom replied. "Now, burn into YOUR memory-"

"I…. wouldn't finish that sentence," Alice warned. "The Monster Lord must always be dominant in bed. If you're pleasuring me it's because you are serving me. If you try to truly top me, I'll have to reassert my superiority."

"Well, we can't have that…." Tom laughed, kissing her breast, deciding that he didn't want to provoke her this morning. At least not until he was done pleasing her. After that…..

His phone chirped.

"Ugh…. I have to check that," he said, pulling his phone out of his pants on the bedroom floor. "Noooooo….. dammit. It's that client again. He needs me to meet him downtown in an hour. Shit, that barely leaves me time to get washed up and dressed. I'm so sorry, Alice. Can we try this again when I get back? I won't be gone too long."

"It's probably for the best," Alice replied. "Think very carefully about whether you want to do this again. A monster is not simply an exotic woman."

"Yeah, I think I figured that out," Tom said, quickly pulling his pants on. "But what can I say? I'm a risk taker."

"Well in that case," Alice giggled. "I await your return with anticipation."

Tom showered and got dressed as quickly as he could, then rushed into the living room were the five monster girls awaited him.

"Okay, so I hate leaving you guys, but this client is super important," Tom said quickly. "This is a forty million dollar account! I thought I made a good impression at our first meeting, but he's an old school guy, wants to meet me again over brunch and talk some more and I can see none of you care about a thing I'm saying."

"We don't care about the details, no," Alice replied. "But we don't want to upend your life more than we already have. You take care of your business."

Tom handed Alice a phone.

"If for ANY reason you need to call me," Tom instructed. "Just tap this symbol here that looks like an old phone… okay, you've never seen an old phone so that means nothing to you. Just tap that icon, then tap my phone number, it's the only one there. Only if there's an emergency! I'll pick up right away if you call, so only call if it's important!"

"Okay, got it," Alice said reassuringly. "Now go! So that you can come back and…. Show me that thing you wanted to show me!'

"Did Alice forget we can hear everything said in this house?" Tamamo asked rhetorically.

Tom kissed Alice on the cheek and rushed out the door. He'd considered telling them to behave themselves, but didn't have time to get gang raped. No telling what might provoke them to sexual assault.

Tamamo turned to Alice, a look of disapproval on her face.

"What did we talk about, Alice?" Tamamo asked.

"I'll be more careful with the next one, you damn furball!" Alice retorted. "It's not like I can just change how I act around him abruptly for no reason!"

"Just so long as you understand that this thing you two have ends the second we leave here."

"I'm not an idiot, Tamamo, of course I know that," Alice groused. "Is it okay if I enjoy my first fling? Even if it's a fling where the four of you also play with him?"

"Just don't let yourself get in too deep, Alice," Tamamo warned.

Alice sat down on the couch with a loud harrumph, making a great show of staring into the phone.

"Like a petulant teenager," Tamamo grumbled.

"There sure are a lot of things here to tap," Alice said, ignoring her. "Oh, this is a game!"

Tamamo shared a look with Erubetie, as if to say, You see what I have to deal with? Erubetie smiled thinly.

"Oooh, what's this?" Alice said to no one in particular. "Ooh, it's porn!"

"Can I see?" Alma Elma asked eagerly, then rolled her eyes. "That's not porn, Monster Lord."

"To me it is!" Alice said excitedly. "Do see all that delicious food?! Each picture is more sexy than the last! Wait, it says 'Order'? I can order this food?!"

"How would it get here?" Granberia asked. "In the castle we have servants who bring us food. We can't be seen by the humans of this world."

"Have you seen the tech on this world?" Alice asked. "Who knows how they get it here? Besides, Tom left so quickly he didn't make us breakfast!"

"It's actually almost lunch now," Tamamo noted. "I have to admit I'm hungry as well."

"There is plenty of food in the kitchen!" Granberia argued.

"Yeah, sure, there's pop tarts and fruits and sandwich meat," Alice admitted. "But does any of that look like this?"

Alice showed Granberia a picture of a large platter of chicken tenders surrounded by several kinds of dipping sauces.

"Oh my," Granberia breathed, placing her hand on her chest.

"This seems risky to me," Tamamo cautioned. "But boy does that food look good."

"Wait a minute, guys!" Alma Elma interrupted. "I have an idea!"

"So, how do I look?" Alma Elma asked.

"Like a human," Granberia answered. "A rather frumpy human."

Indeed, the outfit was not as flattering as Alma Elma would have liked. She was wearing sweat pants and a sweat shirt, which she borrowed from one of Tom's drawers. The clothing was loose fitting enough to enable her to conceal her tail comfortably. The wings were less comfortable, but with some assistance from Granberia, she'd managed to stuff them into the shirt and fold them in such a way as to be barely noticeable, especially if she only showed others her front. Her horns were covered by a Santa hat.

"Granberia, that is both the most insulting thing and the nicest thing you've ever said to me!" Alma Elma laughed. "Am I a genius or what?"

"Alma Elma," Alice said, placing her hand on her shoulder. "No matter what crap you pull in the future, I will always remember what you did for your Monster Lord this day. Now let's order some food!"

The five gathered around Alice as she scrolled through the options available.

"The choices are endless," Erubetie noted.

"You're right," Alice agreed. "And so many things we've never tried before! This world has such amazing variety!"

"Clearly we must order a little of everything," Granberia suggested.

"Clearly!" Alice agreed, selecting a steak dinner. Completing the order took some effort, but the interface was so simple even a monster from a medieval world could figure it out. And these monsters had very high IQs.

"Will it appear in this living room, or will humans bring it?" Erubetie wondered.

"Who knows?" Alma Elma said. "We don't know what these humans are capable of. I'm all dressed up if someone knocks on the door."

"It says it's being prepared," Alice informed them. "I'll start making the next order. I think I've got this figured out now. Is there anything anyone especially wants so I can order extra?"

"Tofu!" Tamamo cried happily. "It's been so long…."

"I really enjoy Tom's hamburgers!" Granberia exclaimed.

"What's this pizza, thing?" Alma Elma wondered. "That melting cheese looks sexy."

"What is a smoothie?" Erubetie wondered.

"Let's find out!" Alice said happily, tapping on several types of smoothies.

Several minutes later, the women went silent as they hard a vehicle pull up into the driveway. Nervously they waited. Alma Elma checked her outfit to make sure everything non-human looking was concealed.

They heard footsteps approaching the door. Something was deposited ion the ground. And then, the footsteps walked away and the car pulled out of the driveway.

Alma Elma cautiously opened the front door to find bags full of food. She quickly brought them in.

"Guys!" Alma Elma said happily. "Humans bring us food, but they just leave it at the door!"

"Do you realize what this means?!" Alice said excitedly.

"It means we can eat?" Granberia asked.

"Of course it means that, idiot," Alice replied. "But also… Alexa! Party playlist!"

Brisk techno dance music blared through the house as Alice and her Heavenly Knights ate and delivery after delivery was left at the door. Alma Elma checked her outfit each time she opened the door to fetch deliveries. While some risks were worth taking, one should always be as careful as possible, after all.

On young boy who had a similar mentality watched through binoculars as each car drove up to the house. He saw the driver get out, leave bags at the front door, and drive away. Each time, a lovely face, covered up almost completely other than said lovely face, would quickly open the door and bring the bags in, hurriedly shutting it agan.

Nathan Wellman had been playing it safe for days. He could tell that his neighbor's routine had changed. This was the first time he'd left the house in days. Not that Tom left all that frequently, but he could at least be relied upon to go out to get a quick bite to eat or get groceries every couple of days. Then there were the nights he returned with a lovely lady on his arm. Sometimes two. Usually scantily dressed. It was the entire reason Nathan had bought the binoculars. Tom had the best life!

But just like the monster girls, Nathan felt it was time to take a risk. He was sure they were there. No women had entered Tom's house, and no women ever stayed longer than the following morning. This woman was in his house, even though Mr. Wilson had left.

Nathan approached the property as stealthily as he could. He peered in through the living room window. He could hear the loud music. Some kind of party going on? He wondered. For a brief moment, he feared that maybe Mr. Wilson had snuck some ladies in while Nathan was asleep, and that would be all that was going on, and that would be so disappointing. But then, who holds a wild party at noon?

Nathan gasped at the sight of the monster girls stuffing their faces and dancing. They were even more beautiful than he imagined they would be. The blue skinned lamia, the cute little kitsune, the sexy slime, the fierce but quite pretty tomboy warrior. Even the succubus, covered up as she was, was beautiful beyond his wildest dreams, and he'd had a lot of them.

The ladies' heads all suddenly turned in his direction. Had he been seen? He sighed in relief as another car pulled up. No, they had simply heard the car coming from inside even before he could hear the car from his more advantageous position. He decided not to push his luck any further. Or maybe…. An idea began to form in his head.

Stealthily, Nathan Wellman rushed back to his house to get his work uniform.

"Did you see someone looking in the window?" Alice asked. "For a second there I thought I saw…."

"I saw no one," Granberia answered. "But perhaps it would be prudent to close the drapes. This property is large and gated, but if humans are bringing us food, there is a risk some might look into the window."

"Good idea," Alice agreed. "Knights…"

Quickly the Heavenly Knights obeyed their Monster Lord, closing all drapes and blinds on the ground floor. She cursed herself for not thinking of it sooner. The food was so delicious that It had been worth the risk, but covering up the windows was so basic she was angry with herself for not thinking to do it in the first place.

For the next half hour, the food continued to roll in and Alma Elma retrieved it without a hitch. The five of them stuffed themselves until they were near bursting, even Granberia and Alma Elma, who normally weren't big eaters. But the joy of trying new things, and the hyperpalatabiliy of American processed foods caused them to gorge themselves. Alice was sure it was the best party she'd ever been to. The music was unusual, but catchy, and the food was amazing.

There was a knock on the door.

"Alexa, stop the music!" Alice ordered.

Everyone looked at each other as if to say, "What do we do?!"

Alice nodded to Alma Elma, who checked herself one more time. Pensively, the succubus opened the door, taking care to block the doorway with her curvy body so that no one could peer past her.

"Pizza delivery!" a short young man said cheerfully, wearing a uniform and carrying a pizza box that said 'Pizza King'.

"Um… okay, you were supposed to just leave it at the door, weren't you?" Alma Elma asked.

"Sorry, I didn't see those instructions," he said, pulling out a piece of paper from his pocket. "Nope, it says cash delivery."

"Cash delivery?" Alma Elma asked.

"Yeah, that'll be $17.69," the boy said cheerfully.

"Um….. 17.69?"

"I think he wants money," Alice called out.

"Do we have money?"

"Um….. I don't know where Tom keeps his money," Alice shrugged. "We've got enough food, and I thought we already got our pizza order. Just have him go away."

"Sorry, there must be some mistake," Alma Elma said apologetically. "I'm afraid we don't have any money. We just ordered using that Uber Eats thingie."

She started to close the door, but the boy put his hand out to block her.

"It's okay if you don't have money!" the boy said. "In fact, it's our company policy that we can accept alternative forms of payment, if you know what I mean?"

"Alternative payment?"

"Yeah, if you don't have money, there are other ways to express your gratitude that I brought you pizza," the boy said, winking at her.

"Ohhhhh…. I get it," Alma Elma said.

"Don't even think about it, Alma Elma!" Tamamo yelled.

The succubus had to admit that she was thinking about it, as her second stomach was still growling. But bringing someone into the house was entirely too risky.

"Sorry, we can't pay for the pizza today. You can go," Alma Elma said.

The boy blocked the door with his hand again.

"C'mon… I know you must be hungry," he said suggestively.

Alma Elma looked at him suspiciously. "How old are you?"

"Um…. Eighteen."

"Riiiiight…." Alma Elma replied. "Look, I actually am that kinda girl, but my boss's policy is that I can't do that sort of thing. Besides which, there are laws that I've been made aware of that say you're too young for me to 'pay' that way. So buzz off, kid!"

This time Alma Elma slammed the door. Nathan quickly jerked his hand away to avoid getting it broken.

"All right…." Nathan grumbled. "If that's how it is….."

"Maybe this wasn't such a good idea," Tamamo said.

"Are you kidding?!" Alice exclaimed, talking with her mouth full of Lo Mein noodles. "This was the best idea ever!"

"That kid sounded like he knew something," Alma Elma cautioned.

"Hmmm….." Tamamo mused. "Maybe. I heard the whole conversation, of course. Maybe we should have brought him in after all for questioning."

"Do you want me to go see if I can catch up to him?" Alma Elma asked. "I'm sure it won't take much to convince him to come inside."

"No," Alice said firmly. "He sure seemed suspicious, but nothing he said indicated for sure that he knew something. Maybe that was exactly what it appeared to be. Maybe he just delivered to the wrong house, or I did something wrong on the Uber Eats thingie."

"Let's hope so," Erubetie said.

There was another knock on the door.

"Excuse me," Alma Elma said, adjusting her Santa hat, she opened the door. "Look, kid….!"

At the door was no kid. Instead, three men stood at the door, two of them large and imposing, wearing suits and ties, the third a short man in a lab coat.

"Good afternoon, my name is Dr. Christopher Polk," the short man introduced himself. "May I come in, ma'am?"

"No," Alma Elma answered, trying to hide her apprehension. Fortunately, Alma Elma was very good at disguising her true feelings by being flippant. "Is there something I can help you with, Dr. Polk?"

"I certainly hope so," the man said smarmily. "I'm a researcher at the Pacific Group. We have an office downtown."

"A researcher?"

"Yes, ma'am. Is Mr. Wilson home? He is the owner of this house, is he not? May I speak with him?"

"He's out on business right now," Alma Elma said cautiously.

"Ah, fine, fine," the man said, entirely too agreeably. "Well, let me just briefly explain why I'm here. You see, at Pacific Group, we research, shall we say…. Exotic subjects. And a few days ago, there was an anomaly at this location that we were eventually able to trace here."

"Oh, an anomaly?" Alma Elma asked, alarm bells going off like crazy in her head. "What kind of anomaly?"

"Well," the man chuckled. "That would involve a very long and technical explanation. So I'll just ask you, have you seen anything unusual on your property in the last few days?"

"Unusual like what?"

"Oh, I'm sure you would notice if it's the sort of thing I'm thinking of," Dr. Polk replied. "But to be honest, we really have no idea what we expect to see. It could be something incredible, such that you'd know it was incredible as soon as you saw it, or it could be something subtle that would be impossible to detect without highly sensitive instruments. That's why if it would be okay with you or Mr. Wilson, I'd like to bring a team in to have a look around."

"I think you'd better wait for Mr. Wilson to get home," Alma Elma replied, now definitely worried.

"Very well then," Dr. Polk said, with obviously insincere agreeability. "Let me leave you my card. Just give me a call if you notice anything unusual on Mr. Wilson's property, and please give that card to Mr. Wilson when he gets back. Whatever is going on here, we can help."

"Help?"

"That's what we're here for," he replied. "You know, chances are, it was nothing, we've gotten false readings before. But these things have a…. potential to be dangerous, so please, if you notice anything, anything at all that worries you, that isn't as it should be, please give me a call. We can have a team down here in minutes to assist you."

"Thank you," Alma Elma said, taking the card. It read "Dr. Polk, Pacific Group, Head of Research," with a phone and fax number.

"We'll be on our way now, ma'am," Dr. Polk said with that same smarmy smile. Alma Elma nodded and closed the door, staring at the business card he'd left her.

"What do you guys think?" Dr. Polk said quietly as they walked back to the van.

"That lady gave me weird vibes," one of the big men replied.

"Me too," Dr. Polk agreed. "She's definitely hiding something."

"Something was WAY off about her," the other man added. "Like maybe… she's an alien. From another dimension!"

Dr. Polk laughed heartily. "Oh, Kal, let me assure you, if extradimensional life does exist, it won't look like her! Beautiful, sexy aliens exist only in science fiction. I love Star Trek too, but trust me, any being from another planet, much less another dimension, will not look anything resembling life as we know it!"

"For a beautiful girl, she sure was covered up," Kal pointed out.

"We probably caught her in the middle of her workout," Dr. Polk countered.

"She wasn't sweating and she had a Santa hat on," Kal replied.

"Do women not normally work out in outfits like that?"

"No, sir. They do not."

Dr. Polk paused for a moment, before laughing and making a shooing motion with his hand. "See, now you got me going! I assure you, Kal, that woman is quite human. We both need to watch less Star Trek."

"I'm more of a Star Wars guy, actually," Kal replied.

"Me too," the other big man said.

"Well, Bryson, that's why you two are where you are in life, and that's why I am where I am in life," Dr. Polk sad only half jokingly.

Dr. Polk's cell phone rang.

"Yes?" he answered. "Really? Right now? Another one? Have you checked the readings? You're sure? All right then."

"What was that about?" Bryson asked.

"Boys, keep this place under surveillance, starting now," Dr. Polk ordered. "I want eyes on this property around the clock."

The joy of the previous hour had dissipated. The hangover had begun. The ladies had aching stomachs and worried brows.

"Why did that scientist come here? Did we make that much noise?" Alice asked.

"No," Tamamo said. "This had nothing to do with that. Whatever sent us here, someone on this world detected it. It must have taken them some time to track it down, but now someone besides Tom knows something. I heard snippets of their conversation as they walked away. They clearly don't know what they know, but they certainly know something."

"What should we do?" Alma Elma asked. "He left me this card. And he is a researcher."

"We'll have to have a meeting when we're feeling a little less sick and emotional to discuss that," Tamamo replied. "We need to process what just happened, between that scientist and that boy. Our ability to stay concealed in this house is probably compromised. We have some important decisions to make."

"What do we tell Tom?" Alice asked.

"Well, he'll be home soon," Granberia noted. "We'd better decide quickly."

Sure enough, they heard the distinct sound of Tom's Lamborghini pulling up the driveway. Alice looked around in a panic. He was early! The place was a mess!

Tom strode up to the door and opened it with his key. And then his jaw hit the floor.

"What… the… hell!? I left you all alone for two hours! Two hours! What did you do?!"

"It's okay, Tom!" Alice insisted. "We just got hungry and found this amazing thing on your phone that summons us food! We're going to clean up, don't worry! This place will look exactly as you left it in an hour!"

"Okay, okay," Tom said, clearly still angry. "Yeah, you're definitely going to clean this mess up, but how much did all this cost me?!"

"Cost you?" Alice asked. "it cost you nothing. Only one guy asked us for money and we didn't pay him, so he left."

"You answered the door?!"

"Don't worry, I had a disguise on," Alma Elma said, still wearing Tom's sweats and his Santa cap. "We're not stupid, you know."

"Really?!" Tom asked sarcastically. "All of this sounds like the behavior of highly intelligent individuals! Clearly superior to us lowly humans!"

"Well when you put it that way, maybe we did some some poor judgment here," Alice admitted grudgingly.

"Phone, please," Tom said, holdng out his hand. Alice placed the phone into his open palm.

Tom quickly loaded the Uber Eats app to see the damage.

"Eight thousand dollars!?" he roared.

"Is that a lot?" Alice asked, wincing.

"We didn't know you had to pay for it," Tamamo said gently. "The way it worked to us, we just ordered the food and it came. Just like at our castle. We order servants to bring us food, and they do."

"Well, isn't it great to be royalty!" Tom exclaimed. "It must be killing you all to have to depend on a peasant like me! Well, things are changing from this moment on! This is MY world and MY house! So if you want to stay here, you'll do what I say. I'm the lord of this house, no matter whether your title is Monster Lord or Heavenly Knight or Queen or Shah or the fucking President of the Universe!"

"You… dare!?" Alice exclaimed, her eyes taking on that demonic tinge again.

"Yes, I dare! Now clean this mess up! I'm going to be in my office for the next few hours and then I'm going to bed! And no one better bother me!"

Tom stalked into his office and slammed the door behind him. The ladies could only look at each other helplessly.

"What do we do?" Alice asked. "I don't think I've ever had a human be mad at me before."

"Perhaps we should rape him," Granberia suggested. "That's how we would handle this situation on our world."

"That would just make him angrier," Tamamo sighed. "We can't break his mind to make him more compliant here."

"I would eat any man who dared speak to me that way if we were on our world," Erubetie said. "But alas…. We need him. Especially now."

"This world sucks!" Alma Elma spat.

"Could this day get any worse?" Alice lamented.

Suddenly, an angel appeared, right in the middle of the living room.
