Curses 8 Its Complicated

Dinae leaned close to the pot, bringing a dipper full of broth up. She blew on it for a little while, waiting for it to cool enough to taste without burning her tongue like she has already done once. Cooking was a learning process for the action girl. As she waited, water frothed up around the bones in the boiling pot. They were beginning to show over the top of the water as it evaporated. Dinae tried to think for a second, her ears standing straight up in intrigue.

"Oh, more water. Viv?"

"Coming right up." The elf stood up from the spot she was sitting at patiently and ladled water from the basin that had been collected that day into a pouring jug. Viv walked over and stared into the pot hesitantly.

"How much?"

Dinae held up a finger for her to wait. She closed her eyes and finally sipped a bit of cooled broth from the ladle. Her brows shot up.

"Mm!" Dinae made a pinch measurement with her thumb and forefinger and asked.

"Bit more."

"Okay." Viv poured water in until Dinae told her to stop. She then stepped back and returned to her seat. After a moment she thought for a second.

"Should you be standing like that?" She eyes Dinae's belly.

Dinae shrugged. "People ask that a lot but beastfolk don't have a whole lot of trouble carrying. I'm only really sitting down more around Leam and Dalton, because those two are in their own heads about it, and they're both human so what do they know."

Viv chuckled. "Yeah." She brushed some hair behind her long ears.

"Dalton bent one of my ears once and he looked like he was going to throw up. I had to tell him that they're flexible... They do bend. Humans are so funny, sometimes, but I'm sure you get it worse."

Dinae looked back over her shoulder, dropping the ladle into the pot to leave it alone after dropping the fire just a bit. She turned and pointed to her ears.

"Humans don't read our social cues naturally so it can get confusing. In our family when mom's ears were back we knew she meant business but Leam doesn't naturally know what it means. I guess that makes sense. Humans also think that when our tails wag, it's because we're happy. Sometimes it is, but it has more to do with excitement. If it's tense and my heart's racing my tail wags, too." She sighed.

"All that's just to say that it's a process; being of two kinds."

Viv listened attentively. "Do you know what it is yet?"

Dinae placed a hand over her belly and looked down. "I'm big, so it's either one of my kind, or it's Human twins."

Viv smiled widely. "Which are you hoping for?"

Dinae looked up in thought. "Hmm. I think..." She tilted her head to the left and right a few times as she trailed off. After a little bit of that she came to a conclusion.

"For this birth I'd like it to be one of my kin. Boy or girl doesn't matter. For Leam's I want it to be human so he can see himself more easily."

"Huh... I guess that makes sense." Viv thought to address the elephant in the room.

"So, like... How does this all work? Do you think Leam will love Dalton's kid and vice versa?"

"I think so, yeah. For me and Leam, the relationship is the two of us together. If it's not me and him then there isn't really a relationship. Does that make sense?"

Viv shook her head. "No."

"Oh..." Dinae thought of how to explain.

"Well... Consider this. If it was me and Dalton with no Leam, I don't actually think we'd be together with all that much passion. We might still have kids but I probably wouldn't think about it all that much. I'd just be one of those people that does it to do it. But, with Leam, I'm actually pretty happy to be with Dalton, and very happy to be with Leam. It's like when i'm with Leam I'm able to like other things more because he likes them and I love him."

Viv stared at her in amazement. "Woah. That's crazy. Leam's that good?"

Dinae smiled. "For me. Do you like Dalton? What about me and Leam?"

Viv blushed and averted her gaze. "Uhm... It was hot when-"

Dinae shook her head. "I don't mean what you enjoy. I enjoy Dalton, but I explained how that'd go."

Viv sighed. "Okay okay." She thought about it as Dinae wandered back over to the pot.

"I think that... I don't really like you two all that much. Actually... I'm kind of creeped out by Leam and you're someone that I wouldn't get along with, normally." She leaned back.

"That being said... Being with Dalton, and seeing you guys through him... That makes it better. So, when I'm with him I can see you guys in a better light and I can... Become a type of person that I normally wouldn't be." She explained awkwardly.

Dinae chuckled. "Oh, yeah? That type of person... Would it happen to be you cumming several times with your own hand by just watching me and Leam go at it?" She asked playfully. As Dinae turned to the pot she head Viv say something in a quite erotic tone that made her stop.

"Yeah..." She turned back to see Viv sitting in a closed posture, hands stuck tight between her clenched thighs. Dinae looked into the pot and turned the fire down by quite a bit more before stepping away.

She bent down, looking over Viv. She lifted the elf's chin, turning her cheek left and right. Surprisingly, Viv just accepted the treatment.

"You don't like me?"

Viv shook her head. "At best you're a threat... I don't really jive well with other big personalities. I want to be able to keep a handle on things. Keep them in my own grasp."

Dinae nodded. "I... think that you've probably been waiting for a looong time for someone to take control away from you."

"Eh!?" Viv looked up suddenly, her cheeks bright red.

"I have NOT!"

Dinae smirked, placing her hands on her hips. "Oh really?" She reached out and almost touched Viv's face. The girl shuddered as Dinae's hand moved instead, brushing hair behind her ear.

"Don't move."

"W-what are you going to do?" She tensed up in anticipation as Dinae's hand moved. There was a sudden release as her fingers brushed up and down Viv's long ear.

"Haaaaah..." She exhaled.

"I don't really like you all that much, either. Well, I didn't. But I think you got a cute side. You're more fun when you open up." She winked.

"Is that so?" Viv gulped, eying Dinae's withdrawing hand.

"I'm curious how this would feel." Dinae reached out rather forwardly, offering her upturned palm to Viv. She cocked her head to one side as she looked down at the elf with a very open stare.

"Will you hand me the reins for a bit?"

There is a long silence with Viv looking down. Finally, after a long while of waiting, right before Dinae was about to withdraw her hand and give it a rest, the elf submissively let her slender hand flop into Dinae's firm grip. The beastfolk grinned and closed her hand around Viv's.

Leam came in first, humming and inhaling loudly. He sniffed. "Smells good! We got the herbs and veg-" He stopped and looked around. Dalton came in after, doing the same.

"Hello? Hm. Couldn't have gone far, right?"

"Can't imagine they would've gone far together..." Dalton added, giving a small insight into the things Viv confided him with about Dinae and Leam.

"Oven's on... I guess they'll probably be in the main room." Leam put his things down on the table without much care and walked over to the door into the living room. He pushed the double doors open without much thought and stopped.

"What? Are they not in-" Dalton came up beside Leam and stopped as well, staring.

"Here." He tented his pants immediately.

Within the livingroom, on a cleared out coffee table with a sheet over it, Viv was tied up with her ankles together. Her knees were spread by a bar that was pried between them and her arms were wrapped together over her head. Viv's face became incredibly bright as she turned her head to look at the two boys standing in the door.

Dinae looked over blankly. She remarked not from a place of embarrassment, but curiosity: "I thought you'd be a bit longer." Viv murmured and nodded and squirmed on the table, the wet spot that was under her growing on the cloth.

Leam looked at them in amazement. "Uh..." He did not know what to say for a moment, then quickly collected himself as Dalton nudged him awake.

"Yeah... Yeah! It's because we met Ms. Filla and she handed us a lot of what we needed along the way. We barely had to leave the town to get the rest."

"Luck~" Dinae smiled brightly, she was already thinking more about what it would do to the bone brother, rather than what was writhing beneath her. She was straddling Viv's face as it hung over the side. She was gagged with a scrunched up sock and a bandana that was tied over it. There were signs that a lot more had happened, as well, but that was where they wound up by the time the two boys walked in. Dinae looked down, cupping one of Viv's perky breasts affectionately.

"This is okay, but I still prefer dick." She admitted. With her mind on food, she explained.

"This is more like a side dish. The salad to the soup."

Viv twitched a few times, tensed up and finally boiled over more than the pot Dinae had been tending to in the next room. The elf's eyes rolled up, back arched and her legs spread even wider, causing the bar to fall out. From her pussy she squirted and came, drenching even more cloth beneath her.

Dalton put his hands up. "W-what did you guys do!?"

Dinae looked down in surprise. "I didn't even touch her down there that much. Honest... She came on her own."

"Ah..." Dalton blushed, feeling even more aroused.

"I don't get it, but..." He stepped forward and knelt down beside Viv, near the table. He pulled the gag from the elf's mouth, allowing her to gasp and let out a sharp cry, then a low, lewd moan as she finished her orgasm, seeming already to be close to another. She was panting.

"You're very cute right now." Dalton stated affectionately, running his hand along her side. His eyes were asking for permission, since she was tied up. Viv's eyes looked away, then narrowed, then looked back with express desire. She nodded. Dalton breathed happily, leaning forward. He brought his lips close to her quivering pillows before stopping short. She bit them, pouting as he pulled back a few inches. Her body relaxed and gave another release as he moved up and kissed her forehead while his hand was on her cheek. He says quietly.

"I know that look... Go as crazy as you want." He smirked and leaned back. Viv's back arched again at the denial. She squirmed on the table a bit, the motion itself setting her off again.

Dinae looked at the girl jealously. "Holy- that girl's like a machine that makes orgasms... How can I do that?"

Leam crossed his arms. He was standing back, watching. He stepped forward to place a hand on both Dalton and Dinae's shoulders, connecting them. Leam leaned over to Dinae and commented.

"Probably just need a little help."

"Oh!" Her ears perked up.

Leam looked up. "I'm learning that means you're attentive and interested."

Dinae stared back at Leam with a pleased look, her eyes narrowing and curling happily as he and Dalton swapped. Dalton took Dinae in his arms and began to kiss her, pushing his tongue into her mouth as she did the same, bringing her arms around him to rub up and down his back and into his hair.

"You good?" Leam asked, bringing his attention to Viv.

She brought her gaze to bear on the man. She remembered what Dinae said about liking someone through someone else. She closed her eyes briefly and remembered the scenes between Dalton and Leam, then the scene that was happening presently, with Dalton ravishing Dinae right behind her. She opened her eyes and nodded to Leam.

"Yeah." She felt like she understood.

Leam smiled. "You're having fun all by yourself. Do you even-"

"Yes." Viv said immediately and very firmly, a tone that was not fitting for a girl in her immediate position. Leam took the forward hint and immediately moved onto the table to enter her. He thrust slowly, but deliberately. Viv did not need much to please. She writhed beneath him in abject joy. At some point in their lovemaking, the sight of Dalton sitting, and Dinae sitting over his cock to perform the trick of making it disappear drew both of their attention. Viv stopped just short of actually spitting at Leam. As he was inside of her she taunted:

"Your woman is over there, riding MY stallion's cock? Does that agitate you at all? You're so gentle. Maybe you'd rather take your woman's place? Or are you fit to act like a man right now? Is this thing for show or is it something that can make me feel... hm? What do you think? Is all of your blood flowing from this scrawny body into your cock? It's throbbing... Perhaps- Nng~" She yelped as Leam doubled his efforts. He hit her deep with every thrust. He fucked her without care and he made sure he felt it. He answered each and every one of her words with a bold imposition on her restrained form. A mouth closing over her nipple. A hand wandering over her ass. He was doing to her everything she was asking for between the lines of her torrent.

"Y-you're absolutely brilliant!" She admitted ecstatically.

"You're like a savant!" Leam chuckled, giving her one more good thrust before lifting her leg and kicking it even further into overdrive. She could not even speak once he was trying. She was a mess of moans and groans and lewd little yelps that filled the room over every other sound.

"I'm close!" Leam grunted. He looked down at Viv. her sultry stare offered him only acceptance and need. Leam then looked to Dalton. Dalton stared at Leam over Dinae's slender shoulder. His hand was resting on her belly. As their eyes met he understood. He gave Viv a look that she nodded to and all was communicated easily with much less than a word. Leam smiled and affectionately pressed his lips to Viv's as a sort of 'true welcome' to the party as he let himself go inside of the elf. All that he had filled her, and imposed a new life upon her in that moment, and she was pleased, because she saw them reflected in Dalton's eyes and not through her own lens.

Kiran stepped forward, palm outstretched. They were in tattered robes with the hood pulled down over their face, though they were not sure if they could be recognised by the old friend after so much time. To their surprise, as Leam dropped a bundle of mixed herbs down into their hand he looked at Kiran closely.

"Hm. Have we met before?"

They smiled. "I'm just a traveller. Thanks for this, by the way."

"Thank the Crown Prince. Villages all over Cheshire are receiving enough that we can help others."

Kiran smirked, cheeks flushing lightly. They lowered their head to hide himself more as they said: "It's all political. This is to garner support from the countryside."

"That's a cynical way of looking at it, friend. Let me tell you something. I knew the Prince personally at one point." He added under his breath.

"Both parts." Leam continued in a normal tone.

"I know they're good people."

Kiran held back a chuckle at the all-too pointed wording. "I see. I hear they're cursed. A mutant."

"A curse doesn't do anything to rule someone. I'm cursed, and I'm the hand that dropped these supplies into yours."

Kiran gulped. "You are... cursed?" they avoided saying 'still' which would have given them away.

"It's not contagious." Leam remarked.

"I live just fine. I've got a great group of lovers."

Kiran cocked their head to one side. "Group?"

The question was thankfully drowned out by a child screaming. "Daaad." A beastfolk boy with dark hair and blue eyes came running over with a baby in his arms. He held it up, tail wagging.

"Dina smells."

"Gotta take care of this." Leam offered apologetically.

"Yours?" Kiran inquired.

Leam nodded, putting his things down. He rested a hand on the boy's head. "My son and my daughter." As he said that another toddler ran by, ears perked up.

"My other daughter." Kiran looked up attentively to see a small face in the window of Leam's home. Leam looked back and chuckled awkwardly.

"My other son."

"All yours?" Kiran sounded in disbelief, though they did not mean to be.

Leam sighed. "For your information they're not all mine. They're all 'ours.' " He smiled smugly at Kiran.

"You probably wouldn't get it. It's complicated."

Kiran looked down at the bundle of herbs and exhaled lightly. "I know a bit about complicated things. I'm glad you're doing well." They turned around and gave way to the next in line.

Leam lifted a brow. "Huh? Do I actually know you?" As the figure continued to walk away he just turned his attention to the pressing matters before him.
