Chapter 229 – Family Bonding Time
<span style="font-weight:400">Since it’s fairlyte now and most vigers are busy intensively working on <span style="font-weight:400">rather important projects, the streets are pretty much empty. Even those who didn’t receive the blessings seem to have been swept in the mood, judging by the few shadows in windows lit up by candles, or the more fancy light crystals.
<span style="font-weight:400">I’m not exactly sure how I feel about causing this whole thing, but I guess I should be decently used to most situations spiralling into something rather amorous.
<span style="font-weight:400">Nevertheless, with pretty much no witnesses around, I take a peek at Codae, who is following me by my side, walking just a little bit behind as I tug at the ck belt poking out of the bottom end of her chest armour. Her fierce cheeks sport a rosy flush, but how her sharp canines pierce into her bottom lip conveys how much she enjoys it.
<span style="font-weight:400">For a moment there, I regret not taking my mother up on her offer, but then, an idea pops into my head.
<span style="font-weight:400">I let go of the sexy harness my kinky chieftess is wearing underneath her attire, which elicits an almost inaudible whine from the gorgeous female. She doesn’t stop moving, though, perhaps assuming no one has heard her dissatisfaction. So, it surprises her a little when I stop instead and she turns to nce at me in slight confusion.
<span style="font-weight:400">Smiling mysteriously, I interlock my fingers and stretch them forward with a faint crack. As my palms return to face me, they separate and move in opposite directions. A purplish glow apanies them as I invoke Voidal Bondage and create a thin link inside the gap. Codae’s eyes widen as it takes form, her tail starting to wag noticeably faster.
<span style="font-weight:400">“I… I don’t think now is the time…” She chickens out a tad, looking away shyly, but her furry features don’t want to go along with her indecision.
<span style="font-weight:400">“And I think there won’t be a better time than the present.” I grin at her and hold one end of the violet leather-like strap up to her chest.
<span style="font-weight:400">My brow rises questioningly as her eyes dart from the side to the belt repeatedly. The gesture is meant to give her a choice, allowing the proud roondy to withdraw without any repercussions, but judging by the sweet scent wafting off her, the decision seems obvious.
<span style="font-weight:400">With onest scan of our surroundings, Codae sighs unevenly and brings her chin up, biting into her bottom lip even stronger. Smiling broadly at her courage and perhaps eagerness to explore her own tastes, I lean in to offer those charming lips of hers a chaste kiss, brushing our mouths together. She hums and closes her eyes while I attach the link to her cor.
<span style="font-weight:400">Her face tries to follow mine as I draw back and Codae’s eyshes flutter open, her blush deepening once more. It reaches another level when she looks down and finds a glowing purple strap extending from my hand to her neck. By this point, her striped tail is trying to create a typhoon behind her supple butt.
<span style="font-weight:400">“Goddess, I can’t believe I’m doing this…” she whispers and nces up at me again. “Should we get going… sir?”
<span style="font-weight:400">I have a feeling she wanted to add <i><span style="font-weight:400">‘before anyone sees us’</i><span style="font-weight:400"> back there, but it appears that her more needy side is winning the battle.
<span style="font-weight:400">Giving a little tug on the leash, I send a jolt of what has to be pleasure through Codae’s body, forcing her to cover her mouth as the first signs of a moan try to escape it. She’s as red as she can get now, making me chuckle lightly. But, I don’t intend to tease or embarrass my beautiful mate any longer, gracing her blushing cheek with a small peck before turning around.
<span style="font-weight:400">“Make sure to keep up or I’ll have to <i><span style="font-weight:400">make you</i><span style="font-weight:400">,” I say, emphasising thest two words.
<span style="font-weight:400">Even without looking, I can tell it has brought a shudder out of her. A good one.
<span style="font-weight:400">For a moment, we continue like nothing happened, but after about a minute or two, the connection grows tense to the point that the strap is almost starting to straighten out. Taking a peek over my shoulder, I find the strong chieftess escaping my gaze, following me a bit further than before.
<span style="font-weight:400">Her intentions are clear, so I act on them right away.
<span style="font-weight:400">Turning to the front again, I pull the stunning slowpoke to me. A gasp escapes Codae’s lips as she catches up, evening out with my side. She doesn’t apologise, and I don’t expect her to. In the end, I have a feeling this won’t be thest time.
<span style="font-weight:400">And I’mpletely right.
<span style="font-weight:400">Every now and then, the leashed Beastkin woman acts <i><span style="font-weight:400">distracted</i><span style="font-weight:400">, which results in either a stronger pull or a clean yank to me, depending on the mood. My mood, since she’s left everything in my hands. Literally. This makes our journey back even slower than expected, so Ie up with another slight alteration to it.
<span style="font-weight:400">Bringing the chieftess flush with my side, I tug at the strap enough to bring her face to mine, her eyes skipping to my lips as she tries to focus on my mischievous gaze.
<span style="font-weight:400">“You know, you aren’t restricted only to <i><span style="font-weight:400">following</i><span style="font-weight:400"> your master.” I grin at her. “Feel free to lead the way too. I’ll be in your care, my trustypanion.”
<span style="font-weight:400">As my palmnds on her firm ass, she lets out a quiet yelp and skips ahead. Giving me onest nce over her shoulder, she moves on. I didn’t exactly ask for it, but Codae seems to have interpreted my order in a certain way, sauntering forward with a clearly sensual sway to her bubbly butt. Her tail seems to swing in a wider arc, spending less time covering that juicy rump.
<span style="font-weight:400">Well, you don’t look a gifted horse in the mouth, do you?
<span style="font-weight:400">Another gasp reaches my ears as I catch up and sink my fingers into one of those alluring buns. To her credit, Codae doesn’t react much besides that little jolt, pushing herself more into my hand as she walks. With one more smack, just a gentle pat, I send her ahead, and so we continue our game, changing between her offering me the admirable view of her back and being towed by the leash.
<span style="font-weight:400">But, nothing nicests forever, and as we reach the vicinity of Ayumi’s house, I yank her to me onest time before unclipping the magical strap. “I’m not going to embarrass you in front of your friend. Hopefully, you enjoyed this little <i><span style="font-weight:400">walk</i><span style="font-weight:400">.”
<span style="font-weight:400">She gazes at the disappearing binding a bit longingly, then pulls me in for a loving kiss. “Thank you.”
<span style="font-weight:400">“You are wee.” I stroke her hair affectionately. “Now, let’s get in. They are definitely waiting for us.”
<span style="font-weight:400">“Considering my luck, Ayumi might have already seen us through a window.” Codae shudders. “She’s never going to stop teasing me about it if so.”
<span style="font-weight:400">“Let me know and I’ll handle it.” I wink at her. “I might be inexperienced, but it’s time I started working on that legendary son’s charm. She won’t disagree with anything I ask for.”
<span style="font-weight:400">That draws a prettyugh out of the blushing chieftess. “If you ever need tips, meet me. I’ve been quite the needy girl during my youth.”
<span style="font-weight:400">“I don’t see how that has changed.” I smirk and Codae clears her throat, getting all red again.
<span style="font-weight:400">“I knew I heard your voice!” Another person joins in, making her jump.
<span style="font-weight:400">We turn to my mom standing in the entrance with a warm smile.
<span style="font-weight:400">“What are you two up to just standing there?” She tilts her head with clear intrigue.
<span style="font-weight:400">“Nothing!” My flustered mate denies all ountability and charges right in. “Man, I’m starved! I could eat a whole Tricorn! What smells so nice?”
<span style="font-weight:400">Ayumi snickers as the chieftess disappears inside the cottage and meets my eyes with a cheeky grin.
<span style="font-weight:400">Oh, she knows.
<span style="font-weight:400">Thankfully, she doesn’t seem intent on touching on that subject and I follow her inside. We join everyone in the kitchen, which includes Codae, Noah, and Sirgia. My short lover is standing on a stool while tending to some kind of broth. Receiving a sweet nod in greeting, I return it as I should, walking closer to rest a hand on the small of her back.
<span style="font-weight:400">“Already trying to win the heart of your inws with your cooking?” I ask yfully.
<span style="font-weight:400">Sirgia giggles quietly. “No, Master. I’m just helping. Today’s dinner is all your mom’s work. I wouldn’t steal the opportunity to cook for you from her.”
<span style="font-weight:400">“I want to try Sis’ food!” Noah chimes in joyfully.
<span style="font-weight:400">“You will. Don’t worry.” Ayumi cates him with a few pats. “Let Mommy have this one. We’ll see about tomorrow.”
<span style="font-weight:400">She switches with Sirgia and gestures at us to huddle up around the table. Everyone has a deep te in front of them, alongside a variety of cutlery. We don’t have to wait long before our cook brings the pot to the middle and uses adle to offer us an equal share of the golden liquid with lots of meat and eggs.
<span style="font-weight:400">Well, I say equal, but I’m beginning to notice the difference between my portion and the others. Directing a curious nce Mom’s way, I receive an innocent look that doesn’t even try to be genuine.
<span style="font-weight:400">If Sirgia notices it too, she doesn’t say anything, and Codae is way too embarrassed to pay attention, throwing herself at the soup right away. Shaking my head, I take thedle from Ayumi’s hands and pour her one too like a proper son should. She graces me with a smile full of affection and epts her share.
<span style="font-weight:400">We eat in silence, broken only by random bits of trivia from the daying from Noah. It often rtes to the toys he has received from Sirgia and how his friends reacted. He is quickly bing the popr kid around the block. At least until my genius mate distributes some more of her creations with the other children to keep it somewhat fair.
<span style="font-weight:400">I’m sure she wouldn’t want him to be ostracised for being the only one having the best toys in the neighbourhood.
<span style="font-weight:400">Anyway, we enjoy both the pleasant atmosphere and the tasty food. Sirgia clearly takes mental notes from this meal full of wild ingredients mixed with some vige-grown bits. Her creative mind never stops absorbing new knowledge and options to be usedter.
<span style="font-weight:400">Or, she simply wants to memorise it so she can then recreate my mother’s cooking for me as a small taste of home after we move on. I wouldn’t put that past her. This little minx is always looking for ways to look after me.
<span style="font-weight:400">Needless to say, we stuff ourselves almost to bursting. I was taught never to waste food, but boy was it hard with so much of it before me. Ayumi went all out on this meal. I could feel the love she put into the dish. Judging by how semiatose Noah is, this certainly isn’t amon thing.
<span style="font-weight:400">Mom nudges him with her elbow to rouse the sleepy brat. “You are still at the table, young man. Have some manners. Besides, no sleeping before bath. Get yourself ready.”
<span style="font-weight:400">“Already?” He groans loudly.
<span style="font-weight:400">“It’s fairlyte. And we have a lot of people with us today, so it will take time to take turns. You’ll go first and then straight to bed. No arguing.” She levels him with a light squint.
<span style="font-weight:400">“Ugh… Can’t we go to the stream instead? We could all bathe at the same time that way…” Noahins.
<span style="font-weight:400">“Actually, I think we can,” I join before Ayumi can reply.
<span style="font-weight:400">That brings her squinted gaze to me and I offer a cating smile, raising my hands in a peaceful gesture while letting out a faint chuckle. It’s never a good thing to undermine a mother’s authority in situations like these.
<span style="font-weight:400">“Bathe at the same time, I mean,” I rify quickly. “You offered us dinner, so let us host you for the night in return. There’s more than enough space.”
<span style="font-weight:400">“Hell yes!” My little brother throws his fist into the air. “I want to use Big Bro’s baths! Please, Mom, can we use the baths in his mansion?”
<span style="font-weight:400">Ayumi blinks at both of us in a stupor, clearly still not in on the secret. She must have not heard anything from the vigers who witnessed Iantheing out. Since the attack was stopped fairly quickly and effectively, she also did not need to hide inside the suitcase as instructed by Sirgia.
<span style="font-weight:400">“I think that’s a good idea,” my lover adds. “Everything should be prepared too since they are used regrly.”
<span style="font-weight:400">“Honestly, I’ve been really curious about this whole thing too.” Even Codae shares her thoughts, remembering what she has witnessed.
<span style="font-weight:400">Outnumbered like that, Mom has no idea how to react, making me snicker. “Let’s clean up here and we’ll show you. It will be way easier than trying to exin.”
<span style="font-weight:400">Not seeing any way out of it, she agrees to go along, still somewhat wondering if we are all ying a joke on her. But, Noah’s excitement is too honest for that to be true and I know she knows it deep down. Kids can fake being angry, sad, or offended easily, but doing the same with pure joyes out way more awkward and artificial.
<span style="font-weight:400">Therefore, everyone helps with the cleaning, finishing it in a sh. Then, we move to Noah’s room while he runs around us in circles,ughing all the time. The suitcase is already waiting for us atop his bed, gently pressing into the sheets and showing its size and weight.
<span style="font-weight:400">“Last one is a rotten egg!” he shouts and sprints ahead.
<span style="font-weight:400">“Noah, wait, don’t be ru—” Ayumi tries to chastise him as he lifts the lid, but she freezes when he grabs the open edge and hoists himself over it as if he is jumping over a fence, plunging into its depths with echoingughter.
<span style="font-weight:400">All the fur on her body stands at attention as she looks at the chasm that has unexpectedly taken her son. However, before she canunch herself after him to investigate, the little shit pops out of the suitcase up to his shoulders, making her shiver in shock.
<span style="font-weight:400">“What are you waiting for?” Noah waves at us eagerly. “I’m going to go ahead if you don’te!”
<span style="font-weight:400">With more giggling, he disappears again. From the way hisughter reaches us in waves, he must already be rushing down the spiral stairs.
<span style="font-weight:400">Sirgia goes next, entering the suitcase more gracefully. She offers us a nod before chasing after Noah. Codae examines the entrance briefly before stepping inside a little awkwardly. For a good measure, she hops up and down a few times while standing inside, throwing me an intrigued nce. Spotting the descent, she follows the duo.
<span style="font-weight:400">I rest a hand on Mom’s shoulder. “We should go too. Don’t worry, I’ll be with you the entire time.”
<span style="font-weight:400">“What if it closes?” Ayumi asks a tad nervously.
<span style="font-weight:400">“There’s no lock. At least not a physical one. We just have to push the lid up,” I answer.
<span style="font-weight:400">“What if it falls over?” she inquires further.
<span style="font-weight:400">“I doubt that will happen, but Sirgia put plenty of safeguards and emergency systems into this,” I try to reassure her. “But, worst case scenario, I can always call for the Oreads or the Liliraune to help us out.”
<span style="font-weight:400">It takes a moment, but she pushes through her worries and lets me guide her to the suitcase. I jump in first and hold a hand out, which she daintily epts. Not like she needs it as Mom hops in next to me with a cat-like agility. After looking around briefly, we descend the stairs and finally make it to the lobby.
<span style="font-weight:400">Noah is running around and jumping over the couches in the main hall while Codae just stands in the middle with her jaw hanging low. I can’t me her. It’s quite the change from her charming but small attic. My mother has a simr reaction, pure disbelief adorning her feline features.
<span style="font-weight:400">“Is this really inside?” She turns to me.
<span style="font-weight:400">“Yeah. Just a little bit of <i><span style="font-weight:400">magic</i><span style="font-weight:400">ing from that tiny bundle of genius thoughts over there. Now you know how amazing your daughter-inw is.” I smile at her proudly. “Alright, everyone. Let’s take care of the business. There are three baths if anyone wants some alone time. I’ll go with Noah while you can split up or have some fun together.”
<span style="font-weight:400">“Are you sure?” Ayumi asks. “I can take care of him while you bathe with your mates.”
<span style="font-weight:400">“One hundred percent.” I nod at her. “Go on. You deserve a break.”
<span style="font-weight:400">Sirgiaes up to us and takes her hand, leading Mom ahead with a delicate smile. Codae shoots me one more nce before following them. Noah runs up to me and tugs at my sleeve.
<span style="font-weight:400">“Bro! Come on! We’ll best!” He directs his concerned face at me.
<span style="font-weight:400">“Oh, that we can’t have, can we?” I snicker. “Hold on. We are going to beat them.”
<span style="font-weight:400">Hoisting the boy up, I sit him atop my shoulders and grab his legs. Noah cackles in delight as I break into a run and speed past the women. They chuckle as we pass them and sprint to the baths. I slow down in front of the entrance and put Noah down so that we can store our clothes in the locker room. After stacking our stuff in one locker, I bring my lil bro into the massive bath and he hops around in excitement.
<span style="font-weight:400">“You know how to swim, right?” I ask while putting my fists on my hips.
<span style="font-weight:400">“I’m the best swimmer among the kids!” He puffs out his chest, mirroring my pose. “Mom says it’s because I fought her so hard when I was little since I hated baths. Why?”
<span style="font-weight:400">“No reason…” I slowly approach him. “Just… Let’s put those skills to the test, shall we?”
<span style="font-weight:400">As I finish my sentence, my hands are already grabbing his arm and leg, swiping the boy off the floor. He whoops in surprise as I spin around for a while, enjoying his excitedughs, and then let go.
<span style="font-weight:400">“AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!” He screams, in a happy way, before dropping into the deep end of one of the pools.
<span style="font-weight:400">Noah emerges right away, confirming his earlier statement, and grins at me with pure fun sparkling in his eyes. They widen when he sees me running straight at him and frantically paddles aside as Iunch myself in too. Hitting the surface with a much bigger ssh, I rock him a bit, evoking more childishughter. He sshes me a few times after Ie up, forcing me to shield my face.
<span style="font-weight:400">We y around a little, chasing each other, dunking each other’s head into the water, and wrestling around below the surface. Seeing that he gets more and more tired, I bring us both to the shallow side and tell Noah toe out for now. Reluctantly, he follows and we sit on the cleaning bench, using the utensils at hand to wash up. I help him out a little with his hair since he doesn’t seem too familiar with theplex gels we have here.
<span style="font-weight:400">Afterwards, we return to the hot pool and rx with our backs to the sidewall. Noah makes some bubbles with his mouth as the water level reaches his neck,ing up to my chest. All in all, we just hang out like two bros.
<span style="font-weight:400">“Shit, this is so awesome…” he murmurs quietly.
<span style="font-weight:400">“Language?” I raise a brow at him.
<span style="font-weight:400">Noah groans and rolls his eyes. “Come on, Mom is not here.”
<span style="font-weight:400">Snickering, I give his cute ears a few pats. “Alright, you little rascal. I’m not the one who is going to get his ass whooped for forgetting himself one day.”
<span style="font-weight:400">He snorts joyfully. “I’m a good boy. Most of the time. When I’m not bored, at least. But man, I would never get bored of living in this awesome ce.”
<span style="font-weight:400">“You would get just as bored of it as of the vige after spending months or years in here,” I reply sagely. “It’s just new and curious to you. Like the vige is to me.”
<span style="font-weight:400">“Sure, old man, sure.” Noah makes a deadpan face. “Says the one who carries a gigantic mansion in a suitcase. Too bad you aren’t staying.”
<span style="font-weight:400">I rub his hair a bit stronger. “Tell you what. I’ll talk to Sirgia. We’ll see if she finds a moment of free time. Maybe she’ll fix up something, a little secret room just for you instead of a massive residence. What do you say?”
<span style="font-weight:400">“Really?” His eyes go wide. “You are the best bro ever!”
<span style="font-weight:400">Heunches himself at me and Iugh openly as my kitty brother rubs his cheek into mine as we hug. It takes a moment to peel him off me and the excitement never really fully washes off him, which isn’t unexpected. At least it gets him thinking so much he lets us both enjoy the hot dip.
<span style="font-weight:400">About ten minutester, I see him getting up and out. “Where are you going?”
<span style="font-weight:400">“To Mom?” Noah nces at me while drying his tail.
<span style="font-weight:400">“She’s with the girls, though.” I frown a little.
<span style="font-weight:400">“So?” He tilts his head.
<span style="font-weight:400">Right. They are more used tomunal baths and generally do not care about such things as genders or casual nudity. The Beastkin are rather carefree and social. But, while it’s possible Noah might have already visited the river with Ayumi and maybe even Codae, Sirgia is with them tonight. So, I reach out to her just in case. No surprise, she doesn’t mind, actually urging me to send the boy their way, perhaps wishing for me to rx alone for a moment.
<span style="font-weight:400">“Okay. Be sure to behave in front of your new sis or she won’t make you more toys.” I chuckle at him.
<span style="font-weight:400">He salutes at that, clearly learning that from our father, and dashes away through the entrance behind my back. Shaking my head, I sink a bit deeper and let my mind wander. I’m not sure how many minutes pass exactly, but it feels like just one or two before I hear the door opening again.
<span style="font-weight:400">Izily throw a nce over my shoulder while resting both elbows over the edge, expecting to find either Sirgia or Codae. All the lethargy throws itself out of the window the second I see the third option. Ayumi walks in with a cordial smile curling up her muzzle, thank the Goddess, covered with a white towel reaching to the middle of her ck-furred thighs.
<span style="font-weight:400">My arms drop into the water and I straighten up as she approaches me.
<span style="font-weight:400">“Here.” She produces another towel from under her armpit, holding it out to me. “Your mate insisted that I use one and bring some for you.”
<span style="font-weight:400">I’m going to smother that ingenious girl with so much loveter.
<span style="font-weight:400">“Thanks.” I smile wryly while epting the offering and wrapping it around my waist. “Sorry about that.”
<span style="font-weight:400">“Don’t apologise.” She waves me off, lowering herself into the water next to me. “It’s not like I don’t understand where this ising from. It took your father a moment not to walk into the river dressed during the joint baths.”
<span style="font-weight:400">“I can imagine.” Snickering, I take a nce at her, part of the tension disappearing at the sight of Ayumi’s rxed andfortable expression as she lets herself relish the hot water.
<span style="font-weight:400">I don’t think there was a day in which I have been more fucking grateful for the ability to control my body to this extent. I already see the kind and pretty felinedy as my mother, but it’s impossible for my brain to rewire itself in such a short period of time,cking the element of years spent together in familiarity, starting from childhood. The towel is a nice safety measure, even if notpletely necessary thanks to this specific feature of my ss.
<span style="font-weight:400">And yeah, I know we aren’t blood-rted so Ayumi is pretty much my stepmother, but the more of these awkward situations I can avoid, the better. My life is already so overflowing with those porn-worthy events and scenarios that I can honestly live without this particr one, especially considering the circumstances.
<span style="font-weight:400">I really owe Sirgia a massive one.
<span style="font-weight:400">“So this is how you live back at home?” Ayumi breaks the silence first. “It’s truly impressive. I’m d to experience something so extravagant.”
<span style="font-weight:400">“As I told Noah, you would quickly get bored of it.” Shaking my head, I rx too. “Speaking of which, you left him with them instead of taking him with you?”
<span style="font-weight:400">“Trust me, I tried, but they were having none of it.” She huffs in irritation. “They told me they would entertain Noah and I should go so I could bond a little with you.”
<span style="font-weight:400">“Of course.” I snort. “But, I guess it’s not that bad. You canze around for a little longer this way.”
<span style="font-weight:400">“I’ve never been one to sit in one ce for long. I’m not ap cat, contrary to my appearance.” Mom giggles at her little joke, sending me a smirk. “It bothered Connor that I rarely seemed to stop and rest. But, doing something has the best resting effect on me.”
<span style="font-weight:400">“I knew a few people like that. And I guess I can’t criticise them anymore as I feel myself adopting that approach more and more.” I sigh lightly. “I rarely sit down to catch my breath or sleep every night thanks to all the energy flowing into me from mypanions.”
<span style="font-weight:400">“Ah, yes. I never imagined I would be a mother to a Demigod.” Ayumi strokes her furry chin. “Or more like a female parent since we share no blood.”
<span style="font-weight:400">I reach out to cordially squeeze her slender hand atop her thigh. “You are more of a mother to me than that woman ever was or ever would be, fuck anything that blood has to do with it. I bet you know that.”
<span style="font-weight:400">Looking at me tenderly, she uses the other hand to bring my head closer and rest it against her shoulder, pressing a warm kiss to my forehead from above. “You don’t need to remind yourself about those troubling times. Everything is okay now and I’ll do my best to make up for all of that. I swear you are an important part of this family and we will never hurt you.”
<span style="font-weight:400">“I can tell.” I let the gentledy pamper me for a while longer before returning to my previous position.
<span style="font-weight:400">We don’t say anything for a few minutes, just basking in each other’s genial presence. And, once more, it’s Mom who speaks up first again.
<span style="font-weight:400">“What’s bothering you so much?” she asks with noticeable care in her voice.
<span style="font-weight:400">“That obvious?” I turn to her.
<span style="font-weight:400">“You have the same brooding expression as your father when thinking heavily.” Ayumi smiles reminiscently. “You need to be careful about showing it in public unless you want more females swarming your side. It has a kind of a rugged charm.”
<span style="font-weight:400">That’s the first time I hear about that and it makes me chuckle.
<span style="font-weight:400">“It’s nothing serious. I’m just torn a little. We just got here, but we’ll be gone in a day or two. I just feel conflicted leaving you two behind and I don’t want to force you to drop everything,” I exin.
<span style="font-weight:400">“You are doing so much for the vige, though. Making it safer, more advanced, better,” she responds.
<span style="font-weight:400">“Of course. It’s your and his ce,” I point out. “It’s the least I can do since I can’t be here at all times.”
<span style="font-weight:400">“And that part is what bothers you.” She figures it out right away. “You know that we have been surviving without you, right?”
<span style="font-weight:400">I huff to the side. “Obviously. It’s just…”
<span style="font-weight:400">“Shhh. I know. I was just teasing you.” Ayumi leans onto my side and delicately caresses my arm. “That’s how it is. You have many things to take care of. Many lead you to faraway ces. You can’t be everywhere at once.”
<span style="font-weight:400">“Maybe. Maybe not.” I exhale heavily. “I need to start working on one of my affinities and we’ll see.”
<span style="font-weight:400">Hopefully, Diana won’t take too long to join us.
<span style="font-weight:400">“I’m sure you will figure something out, but don’t push yourself too much,” my wise mother advises. “For now, focus on what you can do.”
<span style="font-weight:400">“Which is?” I raise a brow at her.
<span style="font-weight:400">“Share your blessings with the people.” She grins at me, making me groan. “I’ve never seen this ce so <i><span style="font-weight:400">lively</i><span style="font-weight:400">.”
<span style="font-weight:400">I’m not going to live that one down, am I?
<span style="font-weight:400">We spend some more time in silence before I get a message from Sirgia that Noah won’t be able to sit in ce for much longer. Which, to my surprise, has already been longer than I expected a young and energetic Beastkin boy like him tost. Conveying this to Ayumi, she decides to leave and so do I. She walks back to their locker room, taking Noah’s things with her, while I dress back up alone.
<span style="font-weight:400">Meeting everyone outside, I lead them to the fancy section of the sleeping quarters, where the Master Suite and its adjacent VIP chambers are located. “Okay. Time to handle our sleeping arrangements. There are enough rooms for everyone. But, we can bundle up too. Noah? Want to sleep over?”
<span style="font-weight:400">“I want to go with Mom! The beds here are huge!” he replies excitedly. “Wanna join us?”
<span style="font-weight:400">“Sleeping with Mommy? Come on, you are a big guy.” I snicker at him, trying to give Ayumi a night without having to look after this little bundle of trouble.
<span style="font-weight:400">The person in question ces her hands atop his shoulders. “It’s not every day we get an opportunity like this so don’t worry, I don’t mind. Besides, Noah snores like a boar, and I’m already used to it. You should give us the furthest one.”
<span style="font-weight:400">“Mom!” The boy looks offended, crossing his arms, which makes the girlsugh softly.
<span style="font-weight:400">“Each chamber has sound-dampening arrays etched into it so it’s alright, Mrs. Carter,” Sirgia informs her.
<span style="font-weight:400">“Oh? Then I wish you three a <i><span style="font-weight:400">pleasant</i><span style="font-weight:400"> night.” Ayumi grins at her. “Come, Noah. I need you to tell me all you know about this ce.”
<span style="font-weight:400">This is an obvious bait, but the teenage brain doesn’t register it and my lil bro drags her into the first room on the right, leaving us alone.
<span style="font-weight:400">I nce at Sirgia, who smirks back at me, and then at Codae, who looks aside with a tinge of pink adorning her cheeks. Her gaze wanders between the Master Suite and the VIP room on the left, hesitation visible in her eyes.
<span style="font-weight:400">Before she makes her pick, my short lover grabs her wrist and guides her into our bedroom. Codae’s tail wags eagerly as she manages to shoot me onest peek before disappearing past the entrance.
<span style="font-weight:400">Leave it to mothers to cause so much mischief.
<span style="font-weight:400">I join them right away and find the chieftess studying the magnificent and spacious ce. The size of the bed clearly surprises her, but I just shrug when she looks questioningly at me. Then, Sirgiaes up to us with a silver trayden with cookies.
<span style="font-weight:400">Our newpanion picks one up and takes a bite, not bothering to hide the delighted moan after getting a taste. “These are marvellous. Are they from the Human capital?”
<span style="font-weight:400">“No.” My Dwarf lover giggles. “I made them during our journey here.”
<span style="font-weight:400">“Told you.” I snicker at the roon girl.
<span style="font-weight:400">“About what?” Sirgia asks.
<span style="font-weight:400">“That she might want to reconsider me as her mate after trying your stuff since she said she liked the simple sandwiches I made for her in the morning,” I exin.
<span style="font-weight:400">“Thankfully for you, I’ve seen she has no dick like yours that I could ride.” Codae snorts.
<span style="font-weight:400">The petitedy finishes cing the tray next to the bed and snaps her fingers. “Like this one?”
<span style="font-weight:400">Codae chokes on the tasty crumbles as a phallic object appears in Sirgia’s hand. I move closer to give her some water and pat her on the back, her gaze never leaving the cylindrical item.
<span style="font-weight:400">“What the fuck… <i><span style="font-weight:400">Cough</i><span style="font-weight:400">… Is that?” The chieftess struggles to speak.
<span style="font-weight:400">“You don’t know?” Sirgia tilts her head.
<span style="font-weight:400">Seeing how Codae nces between the replica and my crotch, she clearly does, the memory of something very simr pounding into her rather savagely still fresh in her mind and most likely body.
<span style="font-weight:400">“Why do you have his…” Codae drawls out.
<span style="font-weight:400">“Penis?” My Dwarf mate giggles and flushes a tiny bit. “Master is a busy man… And a girl… Has her needs sometimes…”
<span style="font-weight:400">The Roonkin woman gapes at her dully, taking a peek at me a few times as if to check if I know and am alright with that.
<span style="font-weight:400">“Do you want it?” Sirgia asks politely.
<span style="font-weight:400">“What?” The chieftess jolts in surprise. “No, no, no. I can’t take your personal…”
<span style="font-weight:400">“It’s alright. I have an entire crate of them.” The tiny female produces another copy in her other hand.
<span style="font-weight:400">Codae’s eyes bulge out and she stumbles back, leaning into my supporting arm. I snicker while assisting in restoring her bnce while she looks at mepletely flushed, definitely remembering her bold statement. Winking at her, I walk away to let her cool off and put down the ss I have conjured in case we need itter.
<span style="font-weight:400">“How much?” I hear the Beastkin leader whisper behind my back.
<span style="font-weight:400">“Free,” the Dwarf conspirationist responds in kind. “We should first make sure it’s enough for you, though.”
<span style="font-weight:400">And there goes sleep again.
