Emma came down and grabbed a granola bar as he re-emerged and they both headed to his truck. Class passed relatively uneventfully, but Sarah was still not there when they returned.
He sighed and went upstairs to study, falling asleep at his desk. He was startled awake by the sound of arguing downstairs.
“Hurry the fuck up and get this shit fixed so we can have some fucky-fucky.”
Mike rolled his eyes and ignored him.
A few minutes later, he came downstairs and saw Emma sitting in a chair, her head in her hands. She stood and came over to Mike when she saw him standing in the doorway.
“Hey,” she said.
“Hey. They still at it?”
She shook her head. “They just started up again. Sarah started doing a load of Danni’s laundry and that set them both off again.”
“Well then fucking don’t do it!” Danni was yelling when Mike came back in the room.
“Guys,” he said, “GUYS,” louder this time. Neither interjection even fazed the girls.
“SHUT THE FUCK UP!” he yelled. They both turned and looked at him, surprised.
“Sit down, both of you,” Mike said, cutting through the stunned silence. He pointed to the chairs at either end of the table. They reluctantly agreed, both glaring at the other.
“This is all my fault, all of it,” he began. “None of this would have happened if it hadn’t been for me. I should have told you the second that my memory came back,” he said, looking directly at Sarah.
“It was thoughtless and insensitive of me and you deserve better, especially since I’m your brother, and not just your boyfriend.”
There was a long silence.
“I’ve got a voice in my head,” Mike said.
“Dude! What the fuck, man!”
“I’m not talking like a subconscious or anything, but like a voice I can hear, but I’m not crazy. He’s the reason that we all started messing around. He doesn’t command me to do things, or want me to go collect heads or feed a cat to an ATM or anything. Well, he sometimes tells me to do things, but it’s usually something like, ‘Throw her to the floor and fuck her.'”
He sighed and leaned back against the cabinets.
“I was jerking off in the shower one morning when Emma heard me say, ‘Oh Danni.’ The voice is the reason that came out,” he said, looking over at Emma.
“I was the one thinking about my sister, but the voice is the reason her name came to my lips. Later that day, I’d been watching you three by the pool, sunbathing. I’d been mowing that day, and after I hosed off, I went inside to… jerk off again, because again, you three were sunbathing.” The three sisters he was indicating smiled at that. “Being soaked to the bone, Sarah made me undress by the door and I… hit her in the face with my hard-on. On accident.”
Sarah giggled at that, remembering the incident. Mike continued, “After that, I ran upstairs and she came to check on me and caught me jerking off. One thing led to another and… that’s how all this started…” he trailed off.
He turned and looked at Sarah. “Not to contradict you, but you said yesterday that you didn’t want any of this to happen. None of this would have happened if I didn’t have this voice, be that a good thing or a bad thing-though it’s a good thing in my opinion.”
“I don’t mean this the way it sounds, but if Mom and Dad hadn’t passed away, I wouldn’t have this voice in my head. I wouldn’t be involved with my four sisters. I love you four, and I love being with you.
“Anyone else would call me a greedy motherfucker for having four girlfriends, but I don’t think I could imagine life being any different, now that I have all of you. You’re all so alike, but so different.
“Danni, you and I have something so special, I know that whatever else happens, you and I are solid, and will be together forever. When we make love, it’s like we cease being two different people and are melded into one being. But that doesn’t mean I don’t feel exactly the same way when I’m with each of you. I mean, sure, you’re each different in bed: Beth, you’re so wild and possessed, it’s hard for me to be in control. Emma, you’re the complete opposite, you love being dominated and I know that I could tell you to do anything and you’d do it. I’m not worried about my future, because I know that I’ll have each of my sisters, my lovers, my girlfriends… in it.”
He turned to Sarah and took her hands in his own.
“I’m so, so sorry that I hurt you. I should have told you all the second that I got my memory back. I really just wanted to spend time with each of you, to enjoy each of your little quirks and mannerisms, how each of you behave in bed with me. I love you all, so much.”
All four of them were looking at him as if he were made out of kittens and chocolate. He let go of Sarah’s hands and without another word, disappeared upstairs.
The four siblings left downstairs stared at each other in silence for a few moments.

“I really hope that worked, because it’s been like, a hundred hours since you last had sex, man. That’s unacceptable!”NôvelDrama.Org holds this content.
‘It hasn’t been that long. I really need to figure out how to mute you,’ Mike thought.
“Yeah, yeah, then you’d forget you had me on mute and get all freaked out when you couldn’t hear me anymore.”
Mike closed his door behind him and fell into his bed. As he closed his eyes to take a nap, sleep overcame him quickly.
He awoke to hear soft moans coming from Beth’s room, and eased over. Quietly clicking the door open, he saw his twin’s brown hair between Beth’s legs, her own blonde hair between Emma’s. He smiled and closed to door quietly, leaving his sisters to their fun. Turning, he headed downstairs and saw Sarah sitting in the kitchen, talking quietly with Danni.
Mike smiled at both of them.
“Hey,” Danni said.
He leaned over and kissed them both on the head. “So have we made amends?”
Sarah reached over and grabbed Danni’s hand. “I think so,” she said.
“I apologized for almost reverting back to the old Danni, and for saying such hurtful things.”
“And I apologized for saying the things I said. The truth is, she was right, we were all trying to monopolize your time, because we all love you. For this to work though, we all have to share, and we have to be open and honest about our feelings.”
Mike nodded. “I agree.”
“Great, now shut up and fucky-fucky,” the voice said.
“So, a voice in your head, huh?” Sarah asked, an amused smirk on her face.
He nodded.
“You were jerking off to me?” Danni asked, amused.
“Yeah, yeah, get it out of your system,” he said.
Both of them giggled briefly, but didn’t torture him further.
They talked quietly for a few hours, before Beth appeared and began to work on supper, after which they all five sat down for a night of relaxation and TV.
“So are you going to be able to have sex with that cast on?” Beth asked.
“I don’t know, we haven’t tried,” Danni answered.
Mike laughed, causing her to turn and look at him.
“What?”
“The voice asked the same question,” he said, smiling.
After watching some reality show, Mike helped Danni hobble upstairs. They tried to fool around briefly, but Danni was in too much pain. They settled for falling asleep next to each other.
As the next day dawned, Mike sat up and headed downstairs. He found Sarah at the kitchen sink, washing the previous nights dishes.
He came up behind her and kissed her tenderly on the neck.
“You know, I remember a conversation that we had about how you liked the way I washed dishes.”
Mike smiled, thinking back to the day that they’d first fooled around. “My first set of boobs,” he said.
She giggled. “You seemed so enraptured by them, it was so adorable.”
