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.
"A hearthstone honey?" Liv asked with a laugh. "Don't mind if I do... but first I think we need to clean up." She saw Belcarm look at Kalendras over her head, and slowly Kalendras released her from his grasp. "Mount up gentlemen." They called their flying mounts together and took to the skies.
After a few minutes of flying around Livinia spotted the perfect location for them. She begun her descent down to the secluded offshoot of the river and hopped off as soon as her Winrider's paws hit the ground. Belcarm and Kalendras landed moments later.
"Gear off, boys, we need to get clean," She directed authoritatively, they both gave her eager grins and begun to shed their armor, dropping it on to the floor unceremoniously in order to get into the water and get the boring bits out of the way. Livinia, however, took her time.
"Hurry up Nitawa Kee," Kalendras suggested over his shoulder as he waded into the river "The sooner we hearth the sooner you can clear your debt."
"Gentlemen, a lady's armor is one of the most complicated devices known to sentient beings. It takes time, precision and patience to remove," Liv said with a smile, dropping her breastplate as soon as she finished speaking. She bend over slowly, to unclip her boot guards and she looked up through her lashes to see Kalendras and Belcarm watching, transfixed, from their positions in the water.
"I swear I'll never understand how something a simple as bending over can have you males so transfixed." She sighed and straightened her back again.
"She really has no idea, does she?" Kalendras asked, shaking his head..
"Not at all," Belcarm replied as he sunk chest high into the cool running water.
"No," Livinia agreed with a grin, reaching for the ribbon at the end of her braid. After she tugged it off she pretended to drop it on the ground. Her lips popped open in a look of surprise, then leant over and scooped it up as well as Belcarm's hearth stone. "Kal, do you have some ointment in your pack?" She asked.
"In the front. Actually, forget the ointment, I'll heal whatever is ailing you," He replied impatiently and with a great deal of suggestion. Livinia grinned and made her way over to Kal's pack, her hips swaying seductively to keep their minds occupied. Instead of grabbing the ointment she picked up his hearthstone. She turned, keeping the stones hidden behind her back.
"You told Kalendras to keep his eyes open," She told Belcarm "What you should have told him was to keep his gear on." Livinia pulled the stones out from behind her back and saw the confusion in their eyes before she took a running start and lobbed the stones into the forest on the other side of the lake. Laughing gleefully Livinia scooped up their armor as well as her own and hearthed back to Orgrimmar before they had a chance to comprehend what she had done.
