  After all that just happened in such a small amount of time I was happy to return to Araths home. It felt familiar and reassuring in a way I haven't felt in a long time. I mean that's not hard considering I've been chasing what I thought was glory for a long time, way longer than I could admit. But even with all that I'd still take it if it meant meeting Arath again.

  Dam I'd really fallen for her. Not that I couldn't find a girl in my original world but the monotony of working for so little with bearly enough time to live was such a drag that I fully embraced the hero job when I was summoned. It also didn't help I had no family and very little friends so no real reason to want to go back.

  I shook my head, I have something here though and you bet your ass I'm going to fight for it. Although Arath seems to think I'm a god and while I would love to be one my current skills are ckluster for a supreme being. Room for growth though especially with the ability to level up skills just from use.

  I closed the door behind me as I entered. "Arath I'm home."

  A shuffle of hooves could be heard before the centaur who's name I didn't know ran into the main area turning around so her ass faced me and lifted her tail to the side. I was given the perfect view of her pussy and unhindered access but I was stopped by how much the poor girl was shaking. She was terrified.

  Arath came quickly behind her with another one of those bnket dresses she wore and gently pced it over the other centaur. "There there Willow. Go sit down on the bed darling."

  Willow nodded still shaking but followed Araths instructions and went to the other room. Once she was out of earshot I turned to my wife. "I'm going to need an expnation on what just happened."

  Arath just sighed. "We have a choice to make. Invite her to our family or cast her out."

  "I would much prefer a third option." I commented.

  "Unfortunately there isn't one. Sabet challenged you to a mates duel and lost so all his mates become yours. If you don't want them you cast them out but doing so force's them to be alone for the rest of their life's." Arath shook her head a sad smile on her face. "Centaurs prize purity to their husbands. So if a centaur mare isn't pure she will struggle to find a mate add the fact that all of Willows skill points have gone into cleaning and cooking she doesn't have a craft to fall back on when she's alone."

  "You sound like your mind is made up on the matter." I said trying to figure something out. I was hesitant for another girl in my harem as everything Arath had hinted at said she was making one but this seemed too forced.

  "She stopped me from joining Sabet when he first started courting me. I was young and very nieve now that I look back on it so I would like to do something for her but I understand if you don't want her. She possesses the archer css and smithy job if it helps you decide husband but she has been banned from pcing any skill points in either of the skills by Sabet."

  That slightly changed things because if she hadn't done anything in the past I might never have gotten Arath now.

  "So what was with the view I got just before?" I asked referring to her complete dispy of her body.

  "She wished to show her avaibility to serve. It's a centaur submission thing."

  I so wanted to bring up that I wanted her to do that but thought better of it in this moment. I would of course be bringing it up in the future however.

  "Ask her to come back. I think I have an idea that we can all agree on." I said.

  Arath nodded a little hope in her eyes. She returned quickly with Willow. The brown centaur was still shaking even in Araths arms and when she saw me she tried to turn around again. Arath stopped her before she could get her dress off this time.

  "My husband has made a decision Willow. Be patient and hear him out." Arath softly said directing the brown centaur to the ground.

  "Offfff course mare Arath." Willow stuttered her gaze now on me with an unhealthy amount of fear. What had this girl been through?

  "Willow." I started pcing a hand on her own. "I would like to offer you a pce in our family." The moment the words left my mouth she shook in relief but I continued. "However Arath and I still want to spend time together just the two of us. So for the current future you will reside in the spare room not ours until we invite you."

  That seemed to get an even better reaction as she hugged me tightly tears of joy streaming down her face.

  "Thankyou thankyou thankyou my husband you will not regret it. I will fully be devoted to you and your head mares happiness."

  I stroked my hand through her hair as she let her tears out. Dam what a rollercoaster she's been through. I caught Araths eye as she stood behind Willow.

  "Remind you of this morning." I teased.

  She just smirked back. "I have no regrets and this has just proven I made the right decision." She then lightly touched Willows shoulder. "You need to let go Willow he is bleeding and I need to take him to a healer. You can spend the time while you wait moving your belongings into your new home."

  Willow stopped almost instantly moving away on her knees while apologizing profusely. I waved it away and rose to my own feet finally giving the wound on my arm some thought. I was bleeding like Arath said but nothing major. A quick bandage and some time and it would be fine especially with regeneration. It didn't really require seeing a healer, not that my red head gave me a choice as she picked me up and pced me on her back.

  I mean if she was going to carry me the whole way I would accept the little extra increase to centaur riding. Willow went the opposite direction to us when we left the house and it let me finally get a good look at the vilge.

  It was definitely more of a town in terms of size but just like Araths home everything was so much bigger from the footpaths to the buildings, even the doors were centaur sized. I was also getting a lot of looks and even some whistles although a lot of the mares that were whistling ended by yelling congratutions to my wife.

  After a few minutes of walking I finally decided to ask something I've been thinking about but never got confirmation for. "Hey Arath, you and Willow have both mentioned head mare now what does it mean?"

  Centaur riding 4 acquired.

  "The head mare of a centaur herd is normally the first one the male picks. For you that is me. My job is mainly to make sure everyone stays in line and listens to you but also to make sure any new additions don't cause unnecessary drama. For those wishing to join your herd they need two things. First you need to be attracted to them and second they need my permission. If they have one but not the other they can't join."

  That seems very complicated but also very easy to manage. If the girls have a their own hierarchy some problems should sort themselves out.

  "I can think of a few harems that could use a system like this." I said back thinking about a few people I'd met in my travels.

  "Without something like this it usually devolves into everyone fighting for the males attention. This makes it so you don't need to deal with that, as I mean no offence but males especially centaurs are a little dull to female manipution."

  "Humans are too don't worry I'm all too happy to not deal with that, but what happens if you start stealing all my time and not sharing?" I asked reaching a hand around to rub just underneath her breasts.

  "That is my right as head mare." She moaned back trying to keep a straight face in public.

  "I see well then I'll just have to trust you have my best interest in mind then." I let my hand trace the underneath of her massive chest causing Arath to bite her lip.

  "Tonight my love. I promise not to stop you this time, just promise you won't leave me if you don't like what you see."

  "I liked what Willow had to show so I'm sure you will be even better."

  We'd stopped just in front of a house with a picture of what looked like a potion bottle. I was almost disappointed we'd arrived so quickly.

  "I so want to run home and let you mount me my love."

  Arath seemed to think the same.

  "Patience my little mare. It'll be so much sweeter if you wait." I whispered into her ear before sliding off her back. She stomped her back leg in frustration that caught the attention of some passers by. Arath sheepishly offered an apology while I bit back a ugh.

  Now I just need to get this little scratch looked at before I can take her home and make good on this promise.
