RISE OF EROS

As they were getting dressed, Helena suddenly began to say, "My love, I know you're trying to please those who won't be joining you for the night, but I think it's a little unfair to Candice, who is always out."

Helena's words surprised Andrew because he never expected one of his wives to understand his intent. He had expected them to believe that he had just become more active, but he was naive, Helena is quite perceptive and observant, so she noticed.

"Do you think it's wrong?" asked Andrew and Helena replied, "I don't think it's wrong, but like I said, Candice is always working outside during the day, so she doesn't enjoy this treatment I think it's a little unfair to her." Stay tuned with m,v le,mpyr

Andrew understood Helena's point but didn't know what to do, so seeking enlightenment he asked, "What do you think I should do?", and as if Helena had already been thinking this for a while she replied, "Make Candice not leave the Heavenly Palace."

"I would like to, but you know our situation, we need her to financially support us while we stabilize," Andrew commented again and Helena smiling said, "Well, I understand that, but let me ask you, will you still let Candice go to her store to work when you leave?".

Helena's question was like a bolt of lightning that struck Andrew. He hadn't thought of that, but now that she mentioned it he immediately understood that he wouldn't allow that.

At present Candice could still go to her store to work because Oliver and Castor accompanied her, but when he left, Oliver would come with him, so Candice, nor any of his wives could leave arbitrarily the Heavenly Palace because it was too great a risk, especially Candice who as a food merchant in a wartime was the target of many.

As Andrew thought about this, Helena spoke again, "I think you should discuss this issue with her." Andrew nodded his head giving her the understanding that he would talk to her and after a kiss goodbye, Andrew left.

In the office, Andrew began to think about how to get Candice to accept his proposal that she no longer go to her store to work. He knew that if he didn't offer her a solution Candice would never accept.

Everyone at the Heavenly Palace knew that a difficult season was coming and that they would depend on Candice to support the business financially until Andrew established another business as he had planned and for that very reason Andrew was sure that Candice would be reluctant to stop coming to his store.

Candice, despite being the last to join the Heavenly Palace, already considered herself one of the family, so she worried about what might happen. That sense of belonging would be problematic for Andrew and his proposal.

However, after a few minutes of deep thought, he found a solution and although he did not know if Candice would accept it, Andrew was determined to force her if necessary because as Helena said, he would not allow that without the protection of Oliver and Castor together she would leave the Heavenly Palace, more so because he intended to impregnate her.

The reason for the discussion a few days ago of the girls having a child, was so they could use the heavenly Palace as Andrew does, so it made no sense if Candice kept exposing herself.

With this thought in mind, Andrew spent the rest of the day resolving small matters and when evening came, Andrew gathered everyone in the office after dinner.

Everyone thought Andrew would talk about something regarding the trip, but Andrew's opening words surprised everyone except Helena, "I gathered you together because we need to establish some rules for when I leave."

Andrew looked at everyone and seeing that he had caught their attention continued, "As you know, when I leave, Oliver, Marie, and Aki will accompany me, so the protection will be reduced, so Candice, you won't be able to go to work like now."

He had not finished speaking when Candice had already replied, "Do you intend to lock me in here?", to which Andrew replied firmly, "Yes", and Candice not liking it said, "Well, I don't intend to stay here. Don't you remember that you depend on my work right now?".

Everyone listened as they argued without saying a word. Gaston, Erick, Vala, and Canna actually agreed with Andrew. They didn't want Candice to keep exposing herself, but they couldn't take it against her, so they kept silent.

Seeing that their discussion was going nowhere, Helena interjected, "Candice, be reasonable." Candice looked at Helena with a frown showing that she didn't understand what she meant, so Helena began to explain.

"Remember the idea is for you to be pregnant by the time Andrew leaves?" then everyone immediately understood. Gaston was the first to jump, as he had not realized this point before.

"Miss Candice, Miss Helena is right. You cannot endanger your son." Gaston has been with Candice the longest and the one who longed to see Candice's offspring the most, so he had to speak up.

Candice's other subordinates echoed Gaston's words and Candice felt she had lost the fight and Andrew noticing this, struck the iron while it was hot.

"Honney, you don't need to leave to do your job," Andrew paused and added, "If anything happens to you I couldn't take it." Seeing Andrew's hurt expression, Candice dropped her stubbornness and asked resignedly, unaware that Andrew was acting to soften her up, "How do you propose I do that?"

"It's quite simple. Gaston has accompanied you for many years, so he knows how to run everything, let him take care of the store and you can monitor everything from here by carrier pigeons or hawks", Andrew explained the plan he had thought of.

Gaston immediately agreed with the plan, but Candice was still reluctant. She knew that, while Andrew's plan was applicable, there were always things she had to do herself, but seeing everyone's pleading expressions for her to agree, she let out a sigh and resigned herself to agree.

"All right," Candice said reluctantly and Andrew cheerfully hugged her, but at that moment Candice added, "But only when you leave," to which Andrew scrunched up his face and exasperated at her stubbornness said, "Can you leave me alone with Candice for a moment?".

Everyone understood that Andrew planned to convince Candice to take action immediately, so they left the office. Candice was not stupid, she also understood Andrew's intentions, but she was prepared to fight against it.

When they were alone in the office, Andrew asked Candice to sit on the couch and he sat down next to her. Taking her by the hand and in a loving voice he began to say, "Honney, why are you being so stubborn?".

"I'm not stubborn, I'm realistic, I'm needed in the store," Candice replied annoyed, but Andrew didn't give up and continued speaking, "I know that love, but you must understand that you are in danger every time you go out."

"I know that, but what do you pretend, that I hide my whole life here?", Candice asked again annoyed and Andrew replied, "I'm not saying that, but for the moment you must hold on. At the moment we don't have the strength to walk on our own, but soon we will be, I only ask for your patience. Besides..."

"Besides, what?" asked Candice integrated by the words Andrew had not said, then he began to explain, "If you stay I will be able to spend more time with you before I leave."

Candice immediately understood what Andrew meant and it made her hesitate. She was aware that she spent the least amount of time with Andrew and if you added to that the fact that she was the last one to join, it made her the more distant wife.

Seeing that he had made Candice hesitate, Andrew took advantage and giving her a tender kiss on the lips said, "Don't just focus on work, I didn't make you my wife to support me in that way".

Those words were like a dagger through her heart because it was true that somehow Candice had psyched herself that her position as Andrew's wife was tied to her financial solvency and Andrew's words were telling her that that was what he least expected from her.

Understanding this, Candice let out a dejected sigh and nodded her head, implying that she would follow Andrew's wishes. Andrew, seeing that he had succeeded in convincing her, hugged and kissed her enthusiastically.

Candice did not refuse and responded to Andrew's kiss and caresses and little by little her arousal rose. She didn't realize Andrew's intentions until she had been pushed onto the couch and Andrew climbed on top of her kissing her passionately, moving his hands.

Before long, their clothes were in the way, and in seconds they had been stripped. Andrew roamed Candice's naked body with his hands and mouth wanting to devour her, but without savagery.

Candice could offer no resistance because pleasure had already overtaken her and she simply let herself go. Andrew's mouth kissed all over Candice's body, starting at her neck, and moving down to her chest where he lingered for a few minutes sucking on her nipples before moving down to her abdomen and reaching her forbidden valley.

With Andrew holding her legs tightly and his head between them, Candice let out moans of pleasure. Andrew expertly ran his tongue all over Candice's pussy, with special attention to her clit.

Before long Candice was wet and without stopping, Andrew lay down on top of her and began to penetrate her. Candice spread her legs as wide as she could, to facilitate Andrew's entry who began to move his hips.

Before long the sounds of moaning could be heard and the two fucked for several minutes. Since it was nighttime and Andrew would have to satisfy Carolina and Aki tonight, they stopped after cumming once.
