Day 50 Post-Impact - Evening
Dinner was an exercise in barely concealed anticipation.
Sana sat among the wives, picking at food she couldn't taste, hyperaware of every glance, every knowing smile. They knew. Of course they knew. The network connected them all to Sarnav, and through him, to each other. Her nervousness was probably broadcasting like a signal flare.
At a nearby table, Mythili ate alone, her gaze occasionally drifting to the wives' table with an expression Sana couldn't quite read. Resignation? Acceptance? Something else entirely? The older woman caught Sana looking and offered a small, professional nod before returning to her meal.
"Breathe," Nisha murmured beside her. "You'll pass out before you get to the good part."
"I'm breathing."
"You're hyperventilating. There's a difference."
Across the table, Minji was doing a terrible job of hiding her grin. Jade had her tablet out, but her eyes kept flicking up with that knowing look. Ishani was being mercifully direct.
"First times are scary," she said. "But he's good. Gentle when he needs to be. You'll be fine."
"More than fine," Ananya added softly. "He makes you feel... treasured."
Sana's face burned. "Can we please talk about something else?"
"We could," Minji agreed. "But where's the fun in that?"
The meal ended eventually. Sarnav caught her eye as people dispersed, a question in his gaze. She nodded, barely perceptible, and his expression softened with something that made her heart stutter.
"My room," she said quietly. "Give me twenty minutes."
"Take as long as you need."
She fled before her courage could fail.
Twenty minutes became thirty as Sana changed clothes three times, brushed her hair twice, and questioned every decision she'd ever made.
The room the Safe Zone had given her was small but comfortable. A real bed with clean sheets. A window that looked out over the gardens Nisha had coaxed into bloom. Soft lighting that she'd adjusted approximately seventeen times trying to find the right mood.
She'd settled on a simple white nightgown. Nothing overtly seductive. She wasn't trying to be someone she wasn't. Just... herself. Whoever that was now.
Her hands were shaking. She pressed them flat against her thighs, willing them to stop.
This was ridiculous. She'd survived the apocalypse. She'd kept fourteen people alive for sixteen days through sheer will. She'd faced death and won.
And yet the thought of one man, one night, one first time, had reduced her to a trembling mess.
A knock at the door.
Her heart stopped, restarted, began racing.
"Come in."
Sarnav entered, closing the door behind him. He'd changed too, she noticed. Simple dark clothes, comfortable but clean. His hair was slightly damp, like he'd showered. He smelled like soap and something else, something warm that made her want to press her face against his neck and breathe deep.
They stared at each other across the small room.
"Hi," she managed.
"Hi." His smile was warm but uncertain. "We don't have to do this tonight. If you've changed your mind, if you need more time..."
"I haven't." She crossed to him, taking his hands. "I'm terrified, but I haven't changed my mind."
"Why terrified?"
"Because I've imagined this so many times. Built it up in my head for years." She laughed nervously. "What if reality doesn't match? What if I'm bad at it? What if..."
He silenced her with a kiss.
Soft at first. Gentle. The same kiss from the garden, but without the interruption. His hands found her waist, pulling her closer, and she melted into him.
"You're not going to be bad at it," he said against her lips. "And reality is already better than imagination. Because you're real. You're here. And I want you more than I've wanted anything in my life."
"Sarnav-kun..."
"Sana." He pulled back enough to meet her eyes. "I need you to understand something. This isn't just physical for me. You're not just another wife, another bond, another source of power. You're... you."
She felt tears prick her eyes. "I know."
"Do you?"
"I feel it." She pressed her hand to her chest, where the partial bond pulsed with his emotions. "Through here. I feel everything you feel. The want. The care. The..." She swallowed. "The love."
"I do love you." The words came easily, honestly. "I know it's fast. I know we've only known each other for days. But I love you."
"I love you too." She kissed him again, harder this time. "Now please stop talking and show me."
They moved to the bed.
Sarnav sat on the edge, pulling her to stand between his knees. His hands found the hem of her nightgown, pausing.
"Can I?"
She nodded, not trusting her voice.
He lifted the fabric slowly, revealing her inch by inch. Her thighs, soft and pale. Her hips, curving gently. Her stomach, flat but feminine. And then...
She wasn't wearing anything underneath.
His breath caught.

[COMPATIBILITY: 97% - EXCEPTIONAL]
She stood before him naked, fighting the urge to cover herself. Her breasts were full and heavy, larger than they'd looked under clothes, tipped with small pink nipples already hardening in the cool air. Her waist curved inward before flaring to hips that promised softness. Between her thighs, a neat strip of dark hair pointed toward her sex.
"You're beautiful," he said.
"You're staring."
"I'm appreciating." His hands found her hips, thumbs tracing circles on her skin. "You're the most beautiful thing I've ever seen."
"Flatterer."
"Truth-teller." He pulled her closer, pressing a kiss to her stomach. She gasped, her hands finding his shoulders for balance.
His lips traced upward. Along her ribs. The underside of her breasts. She trembled, anticipation building.
"Sarnav-kun... please..."
"Please what?"
"Touch me. Really touch me."
His mouth found her nipple.
The sound she made wasn't quite human. A moan that broke into a whimper, her whole body arching into the contact. He sucked gently, tongue circling the hardened peak, and she felt electricity race down her spine.
"Ah! Kimochi... kimochi ii..."
He switched to the other breast, giving it the same attention. Her fingers dug into his shoulders, legs trembling, barely able to stand.
[SENSITIVITY RESPONSE: EXTREME]
[SUBJECT APPROACHING CLIMAX FROM BREAST STIMULATION ALONE]
[NOTE: THIS IS RARE. REMARKABLE SENSITIVITY.]
"I'm... I'm going to..." She couldn't finish the sentence. His teeth grazed her nipple, and she shattered.
The orgasm hit her like a wave, unexpected and overwhelming. She cried out, Japanese spilling from her lips, her whole body convulsing. He held her through it, mouth never leaving her breast, drawing out the pleasure until she collapsed against him.
"Did you just..."
"From... from that alone?" She was panting, flushed, embarrassed. "I told you. I'm sensitive there. I didn't think it would actually..."
"That was incredible." He pulled her onto the bed, laying her down gently. "You're incredible."
"I came before you even touched me properly." She covered her face with her hands. "This is mortifying."
"This is perfect." He pulled her hands away, kissing her deeply. "And we're just getting started."
He undressed while she watched.
His body was different from what she'd imagined. Harder. More defined. Scars marked his skin in places, evidence of battles she'd only heard about. But beneath the warrior's exterior was the man she'd come to know. Kind. Gentle. Hers.
When he removed his pants, her eyes went wide.
"That's... that's supposed to fit?"
"It will." He rejoined her on the bed, settling beside her. "We'll go slow."
"Promise?"
"Promise."
He kissed her again, hands exploring her body with patient thoroughness. Her neck, making her gasp. Her breasts, still sensitive from before. Her stomach, her hips, her thighs. By the time his fingers found her core, she was already wet, arousal coating her folds.
"You're soaked."
"I've been thinking about this all day." She squirmed as his finger traced her entrance. "All week. Since I woke up and saw you."
He slid one finger inside, and she moaned. Tight. Virgin-tight, her walls clenching around even that small intrusion.
"More," she breathed. "Motto... please..."
A second finger joined the first, stretching her gently. She rocked against his hand, chasing the sensation, but it wasn't enough. She needed more. Needed him.
"Sarnav-kun." She reached for him, wrapping her fingers around his cock. He was hard, thick, and her hand barely fit around him. "I want... I want to..."
"You don't have to."
"I want to." She pushed at his chest until he lay back, then positioned herself between his legs. "I've thought about this too. Doing this for you. Making you feel good." Her cheeks flushed. "I told you I read those novels. Some of them were... detailed."
She lowered her head and took him in her mouth.
[FIRST ORAL - SANA GIVING]
[TECHNIQUE: INEXPERIENCED BUT ENTHUSIASTIC]
[BONUS: +2,000 (FIRST TIME)]
She was clumsy at first. Uncertain. Her lips wrapped around just the head, tongue swirling experimentally, tasting him. Salt and musk and something uniquely him. She took more, feeling him stretch her mouth, the weight of him against her tongue.
"Use your hand too," he managed, voice strained. "Around the base."
She obeyed, wrapping her fingers around what she couldn't fit in her mouth, stroking in time with her movements. Better. She could feel his reactions now, the way his hips twitched when she did something right, the sounds he made when her tongue found a sensitive spot.
Growing bolder, she took him deeper. Too deep. She gagged, pulling back, coughing.
"Sorry, sorry..."
"Don't apologize. You're doing amazing."
She tried again, more careful this time. Found a rhythm. Lips and tongue and hand working together, learning his body the way he'd learned hers. Her free hand cupped his balls, rolling them gently, and he groaned.
"Sana... fuck..."
She looked up at him, mouth full of his cock, and the sight nearly undid him. Those warm brown eyes, that innocent face, dimples showing even with her lips stretched around him. The contrast was devastating.
"Good?" she asked, pulling off to catch her breath. A string of saliva connected her lips to his cock, obscene and beautiful.
"Too good. I'll finish if you keep going."
"Isn't that the point?"
"Not yet." He pulled her up, rolling them over until she was beneath him. "I want to be inside you when I finish. I want you to feel me fill you."
Her breath caught, arousal spiking at his words. "Yes. Please. I want that too. I want to feel everything."
He kissed down her body, taking his time. Her neck, making her gasp. The hollow of her throat. Her collarbones. Each breast got attention, his mouth on her nipples sending her squirming beneath him. Her stomach, her hips, the crease where her thighs met her body.
And then lower.
"Sarnav-kun, you don't have to..."
"I want to." He echoed her words back at her. "I want to taste you."
His tongue found her folds, and she nearly came off the bed.
She was soaked, arousal dripping from her, and he lapped it up like a man dying of thirst. His tongue traced her entrance, dipped inside, found her clit and circled it with devastating precision.
"Ah! Kimochi... that's... I can't..."
He slid two fingers inside her while his mouth worked her clit. She was so tight, even on his fingers, her walls clenching reflexively. But wet enough that he could work her open, prepare her for what was coming.
"Please," she begged. "Please, I need you. Inside me. Now. Onegai..."
He positioned himself at her entrance. The head of his cock pressed against her folds, slick with her arousal and his saliva.
"This might hurt," he warned.
"I know." She wrapped her arms around his neck, pulling him closer. "I trust you."
He pushed forward.
The pain was sharp but brief.
Sana gasped as he entered her, inch by slow inch, her body stretching to accommodate him. Tears leaked from her eyes, not from pain alone, but from the overwhelming reality of the moment.
This was happening. Finally happening. After years of waiting, dreaming, hoping.
She was his.
"Okay?" he asked, fully seated inside her, holding perfectly still.
"Okay." She shifted experimentally, wincing slightly. "Just... give me a moment."
He kissed her tears away, whispering soft words against her skin. Waited for her body to adjust, for the pain to fade into something else.
And then it did.
The fullness became pleasure. The stretch became need. She rolled her hips tentatively, and the sensation made her moan.
"Move," she breathed. "Sarnav-kun, please move."
He did.
Slow at first. Careful thrusts that let her feel every inch of him. She was so tight, so wet, her walls clinging to him with each withdrawal, welcoming him back with each push. The sensation was indescribable, full in a way she'd never experienced, connected in a way that transcended physical.
"Kimochi ii," she gasped. "So good. You feel so good inside me."
He pulled back until just the tip remained, then pushed forward in one smooth stroke. She cried out, pleasure sparking through her entire body.
"Motto... harder... please, I can take it..."
He gave her harder. Longer strokes that drove deeper, that made her cry out with each impact. His hips met hers with increasing force, the sound of flesh against flesh filling the room. Her legs wrapped around his waist, heels digging into his back, pulling him closer, demanding more.
"Yes! There! Right there!"
He'd found the spot inside her that made stars explode behind her eyes. Adjusted his angle to hit it with every thrust. Her hands clawed at his back, nails leaving red lines that would show for days.

"Sarnav... Sarnav-kun... I'm going to..."
"Let go," he urged. "Come for me, Sana. I want to feel you come on my cock."
The words pushed her over the edge.
She shattered around him.
The orgasm was nothing like the first. This one started deep inside, where he filled her completely, and radiated outward until every nerve sang with pleasure. She screamed, actual screamed, his name mixing with Japanese she couldn't control. Her pussy clenched rhythmically around his cock, milking him, desperate to pull him deeper.
"Iku! Iku! I'm coming! Don't stop, please don't stop, don't ever stop!"
He didn't stop. Drove her through the orgasm and into another, her body convulsing beneath him, her voice breaking on sounds that might have been words. Japanese and English mixed freely, coherence abandoned to sensation.
"Suki... daisuki... I love you... Sarnav... Anata... please... more... I need more..."
The honorific shift broke something in him. Anata. The word Japanese wives used for their husbands. Their lovers. Their everything.
She'd called him husband.
He buried himself to the hilt, as deep as he could go, and let go.
The bond snapped into place like a key turning in a lock.
Sana felt it happen. The partial connection that had existed since the rift suddenly deepened, expanded, became something permanent and profound. His emotions flooded through her, overwhelming in their intensity. Love. Possession. Joy. Relief.
And she felt herself pouring back into him. Everything she was, everything she felt, shared completely.

He spilled inside her, pulse after pulse of release, and she felt that too. Felt his pleasure through the bond, adding to her own, creating a feedback loop that pushed her into one final, devastating orgasm. Her back arched, her mouth open in a silent scream, her entire being focused on the point where they were joined.
She felt him fill her. Hot and thick and claiming. Marking her from the inside. Making her his in a way that could never be undone.
When it finally ended, they lay tangled together, breathing hard, hearts racing in synchronization.
Sana was crying.
Not from pain. Not from sadness. From something so overwhelming she had no other way to express it.
"Sana? Are you okay? Did I hurt you?"
"No." She shook her head, tears streaming down her face even as she smiled, dimples showing. "No, you didn't hurt me. I'm just... happy. So happy I don't know how to contain it. I've waited so long. Dreamed so much. And it was..."
"Better than the dreams?"
"So much better." She pulled him into a kiss, soft and sweet, tasting herself on his lips. "You're real. This is real. I'm not going to wake up alone anymore."
He held her close, letting her cry, understanding without needing words. Through the bond, he felt everything she felt. The relief. The joy. The sense of finally, finally belonging somewhere.
"I felt them," she whispered eventually, when her tears had subsided. "The others. Through the bond. They were... watching? Feeling?"
"The network shares strong emotions. They would have felt us. Felt you."
"Are they angry?"
"Feel for yourself."
She reached for the bond, tentative, unsure of how to navigate this new sense. And found warmth. Welcome. Five distinct presences, each offering acceptance in their own way.
Nisha's gentle love, tinged with happy tears of her own. The first wife welcoming the sixth.
Ishani's fierce approval, satisfaction that Sana had finally taken what she wanted.
Minji's enthusiastic joy, already planning celebration activities that made Sana blush.
Jade's grudging acceptance, wrapped in tsundere denial that couldn't hide her genuine welcome.
Ananya's sweet happiness, the quiet dancer sending waves of sisterly affection.
"They're happy for us," Sana realized, wonder in her voice.
"They're happy you're part of us now. Part of me. Part of them." He kissed her forehead, her nose, her lips. "Welcome to the family, Sana."
She curled against him, exhausted and satisfied and overwhelmed. His hand traced lazy patterns on her back, soothing, grounding.
"Anata," she murmured against his chest. "My husband. My Sarnav."
"Sana-chan." He pulled her closer, protective. "My wife. My Sana."
Outside, the moon rose over the Safe Zone, silver light filtering through the window.
Inside, a new bond glowed with golden light, two souls intertwined, and somewhere in the network, five women smiled in their sleep.
