In the past few days we're still adjusting living in the new den. Mainly me, because I can't get used to seeing other people aside from Curtis. Also Winston is slowly getting used to my presence. He's not stuttering much anymore when I asked for his attention, and he's not flinching when I initiate touching him unlike before where he gets startled whenever he sensed I'm in the proximity. I told him that his avoidance hurts my feelings. Which made me felt bad after, because this is the only way I think I can use, to keep him from running away from me like a cautious kitten. He immediately felt guilty and tried to make up for it by building me an outhouse, which I love so much I kissed him in the lips and poor guy had a dazed look on his face all day, I thought if he had wings he'd fly. The outhouse was simply convenient and private for me to use.
The golden opportunity also came to me when Winston granted my wish to cuddle with his adorable beast form. And man the way he chuffed when I scratched his chin is so cute, maybe this is the version of purring in tigers. I love his claws but he gets worried every time I tried to touch it, he thinks that he might accidentally hurt me. And I rolled my eyes at him, after that I conceded but had promised to touch it when he's sleeping.
My snake man got jealous so I decided to pet his scales too. And when we took a break from working I messed, I mean I gave their lustrous hair a good combing with oils I experimented from fruits until I'm satisfied and made various hairstyles. I especially love Curtis in high ponytail he looks like a God, I almost kneeled down by his beauty. And to Winston's side french braid, made him look more ethereal with his white silvery hair. My mates are absolutely gorgeous, I keep complimenting them until their skin flushed red from embarrassment or happiness? Point is they're so beautiful.
They absolutely love doing our hairs on break time so our work is done swiftly. Motivated by this we made a set of chairs and tables though they didn't get why I used it while eating, when we can eat on the floor together but I refused so they didn't utter any more words from my strange actions and just copied me quietly. Wise choice men.
Now that our den is settled for the cold season, with a smoker outside built by my mates, a cellar which can store our preserve foods, a chicken coop which Curtis built with Winston's caught short birds, our mini garden, our bedroom full of furs and pillows stuffed with wools, our flooring made from woods we paste together using muds then covered it with a carpet made from furs after it dried. I'm finally having some sense of normalcy looking at our den. It's still primitive looking but nonetheless homey.
I also have them exchanged some of the valuable parts of collosal to trade some grains, seeds, and furs. We also obtained some crystals from that, which added to our secret stash of treasures. All in all I'm pretty satisfied with what we achieved in almost five weeks that we moved here.
Though I hate going outside because of the gossips and strange glances around us. Especially to my mates, I felt that they are hostile with their actions, I can't lose my temper and land us to exile outside the City. Besides the two men seems to not care about anything but me. Likewise, I don't have to please every person here into liking us. They're free to do it and I won't stop them, if they crossed the line that's the time I won't tolerate it. I can't always resolve problems to violence. My mates are strong enough on their own they can deal with these people.
I questioned Winston and he admitted that this may be because he's undesirable as a male but still got mated. So they're jealous to him huh. Well they should be he's handsome, strong, brave, loving and caring. I can't describe him enough words because it all suited him or I'm just biased. Anyways I'm saying that my mates are perfect, I felt lacking in many areas. Though I know I shouldn't compare myself to them because they would not agree with me. We are raised in an entirely different culture so I can't blame them.
My period came, Curtis finally managed to restrain himself but Winston prove to be more formidable in enduring my scent as he's more focus on attending my needs. Though I see the redness and flushing of his skin whenever I touched him, he just clenches his jaws to focus. What a man.
Of course my snake man didn't let himself be bested as he massages my cramps away that soothed me to sleep.
Under the delicate care of the duo my estrous smoothly passes then we go back to our normal routine. Then it got interrupted by the summon of Winston's brother. I was wondering why it took him this long to ask for my mate but I guess better late than never.
This is going to be the first time I'll meet a King. I'm kind of nervous if he summoned us to question who dares to covet his brother, but my tiger man assured me that it's not like that at all.
"He thought that I would never have a female in my life. He's confirming if I'm abandoning my duties because of this. Seeing that I didn't return to the castle since the salt trade."
What an asshole, expectations versus reality is really cruel my sister's better than him. At least she won't use me as she pleases. Never mind I'm not going to waste meeting a King like that even if it's once in a lifetime chance. Besides he's not the only King residing in this City.
"Well, I don't want to meet this brother of yours. Just tell that messenger Winston your female don't want you to leave the den without permission. He won't have any complaint against us."
In awe with my words he quickly tells the bold proclamation of mine to the poor messenger that accepted our message with a threat.
According to this world's rules females are in charge of the family. So he can shove his summoning up to his butt because there won't be next time.
After that I pulled Curtis aside to convey my wish to mate with Winston. I can't prolong our mating anymore like I did with my first mate where we had taken our time to be comfortable with each other first. Frankly because we're out of time and with the added threats for our safety I can't drag this matter much longer.
I felt bad but the cold season is coming, I can't stretch out more of their time making sure I met all of my needs. I'm not that shameless our relationship should be two way, we give and take to make this work.
I'm nervous and I have so many what ifs in my mind right now but Winston is worth it. He proved himself to us and he's part of our family now.
My snake man frowned at first then he sighed. I hope that his jealousy wouldn't make me pinch his cheeks. I'm lucky were not in Earth or else I would be the one guarding him and be possessive from every eyes settled on him.
"Finally, I thought you would need more convincing into accepting that tiger completely."
Oh so he's just exasperated to us. Taking his smooth face between my hands I observed his puckered lips looking dewy and adorable. I kissed him till his lips turned redder.
"Thank you so much C. For being supportive, I love you so much."
"I love you too, so much. That's why I'll support every action you make. Besides that tiger proved himself to me, he's worthy being your mate with his strength rivalled to mine. If he hurt you I can just kill him quickly."
I pinched his flat smooth skin because of that. He hissed slightly but I rubbed the reddening skin to soothe the sting.
"There will be no killing in this house understand? I won't get hurt easily so don't worry your pretty ass about it."
"It's my job to worry about you."
I just nodded and smiled to him as I hugged his cold body to mine. He immediately reciprocated the hug as he kisses my head. I'm recharged now, he helped me summon my courage to mate with Winston.
We heard the approaching footsteps of Winston so we let go of our embrace to each other. I breathed deeply and faced my other mate who looks quite happy after threatening, I mean conveying my message to his brother.
I gestured him to come closer to my position. When he walked beside me I gently grabbed his shoulders to whisper in his twitching ears.
"Winston, I'm ready to mate with you now. Will you let me?"
He's stiffened in my hold while his tail excitedly sways from side to side. Ah, this is so adorable to watch, but I can't focus because I'm embarrassed with my words.
I get bolder each day it's mortifying.
He blinks his eyes a few times before gaping at me with his ears pointed up. Pfft! What's with his expression, this may not be so bad after all.
Flirting with this man is easier than understanding my sister's horrendous writing.
He finally managed to respond to my provocative actions, his voice shaking like he can't hold his emotions. Cheeks beautifully flushed with red as he gazes at me with his soft silver eyes.
"Y-yaesoon I would let you mate with me whenever you like."
Damn, he's making me want to devour him.
