Livinia grimaced as she slung her bow over her back and braced one hand against the boulder and the other on the shaft of her arrow. With a grunt and an undignified squelch she pulled the arrow out of the dead dwarf.
"So, I'd say that you owe me one," Belcarm's voice came from behind her, smug and with a hint of laughter.
"What?" Livinia whipped around and glared at him. "Why do you always do this?" She snapped, voice filled with annoyance. "I was doing fine on my own!"
"Didn't look like that from here," Kalendras added, flicking some gore casually of his tabard.
"So what, now I suppose I owe you one as well?" Livinia asked, throwing her hands up in the air in exasperation and sending blood and bits of meat flying.
"Actually, that does sound good. Yes. You owe me one too." Kalendras' eyes glimmered with laughter.
"Oh I both bet you both think this is so damn funny," Livinia raged, taking a cloth out of her pack and cleaning off the salvageable arrows with furious vigour.
Over year had passed since Belcarm and Kalendras has rescued Livinia from the basement at the Mage's Guild. After spending a month in Caristra's home they managed to find a place in Orgrimmar that they were able to rent. Despite Livinia's initial concerns Kal and Bel were able to develop a strong friendship based on a shared interest in making Liv angry and laughing while they did so. They also found it much easier to work together when they didn't hate each other. After several hiccups and some quite colorful arguments things had finally settled down into a routine that they were all comfortable with. Despite the occasional rude or flippant comments directed at them by strangers, they had found that the arrangement worked well. It turned out that their relationship was quite a novelty in any city they visited.
Livinia loved having both Kalendras and Belcarm around, and neither of them felt the pressure to be with her all the time because they knew that the other would always be there if they weren't. It did mean that Livinia very rarely slept on her own, but with the fantastic quality of sex she was having she would be the last to complain. It also meant that they managed to keep active roles in the guild raids. When the three of them were out on a big raid together with the others Livinia put a ban on all sorts of non-platonic interactions after the sun went down. Althgouh she had broken her own rule several times with only the tiniest bit of encouragement from either Belcarm or Kalendras.
"So when do you think we'll get our payment?" Belcarm asked. Livinia was just about to growl at him, but Borris pounced between them and did it for her. This time Belcarm laughed and rolled his eyes at the big cat. "Out of the way Borris old man, your Mistress has some debts to start considering." Borris looked between the three of them, then shot Livinia a thoroughly unimpressed glance before stalking off into a nearby copse of trees to investigate.
"Do you really want a repeat of last time?" Livinia asked with a sweet smile, placing a hand on Belcarm's chest and pushing him back.
"Last time?" Kalendras asked, his curiosity piqued.
"Yes, last time. Whatever she tells you do not close your eyes," Belcarm whispered out of the corner of his mouth, loudly enough for them both to hear clearly.
"Why? What will she do?" Kalendras was thoroughly amused now; this was a story that Livinia hadn't told him before.
"She'll make you think that you are going to get repaid, then fly off on her windrider with your best armor while you are struggling to pull your pants up from around your ankles." Belcarm tried to sound annoyed but Livinia could hear the amusement in his tone.
"Did you get anything?" Kalendras asked.
"Other than a face full of sand? No."
"Then it certainly isn't worth it," Kalendras said grimly "Your advice is well noted Paladin, I will keep my eyes open."
"Right. Well. When you two are done swapping your old nag's tales can we go and kill more shit? And this time anything with my mark is mine, alright?" Livinia slipped her cleaned arrows into her quiver, picked up her bow, and beckoned for Borris to follow her.
Livinia barely got further than two meters before a pair of thick, silver-furred arms wrapped around her waist and pulled her backwards. She tried to wiggle free of Kalendras's gasp but he was too strong for her. Belcarm waltzed into her field of vision with an indulgent smirk on his face.
"You still haven't addressed the issue of payment. I was thinking something along the lines of-" He said coming close to her and running a hand over the molded breast-plate of her armor. He leaned forward and pressed his lips against her ear. He uttered the familiar words that had sparked the change in their relationship over a year ago.
His request didn't shock Livinia like they did the first time. This time they made her stomach fill with desire, and her nether regions soak with the thought of fulfilling his request. She turned in Kalendras's arms and looked up at him as he towered over her.
"And what sort of payment were you after, I wonder?" She asked, her voice raw, heart beating in her throat.
"I'll have whatever he asked for, so long as it involves fucking you," Kalendras growled in a guttural tone that made Liv squeeze her thighs together in anticipation.
The next moment Belcarm had pressed himself up against her back, his hand snaking between her and Kalendras so that they could see what he was holding.
