“King Cassius Laird of Airen doesn’t change nappies?” Farah asked.

“Hell no,” Ellie answered. “Though he does stand over the nursemaid, or, say, me, scowling as he inspects we’re doing it right.”

There were chuckles all around.

“Does King True Axelsson of Wodell do it?” Silence inquired.

“We get into our chambers and the world melts away,” Farah said serenely. “So yes, when it is us, our family alone together, and there is no one else to do it, for he allows no one there, my husband has no issue.”

“Mars doesn’t either,” Silence said.

“Aramus has gained the skill of a noble Mer and becomes invisible when this one,” she gave her son’s round tush a tender shake, “starts to get smelly.”

Low feminine laughter drifted into the skies.

Then they fell silent.

Silence broke it.

She did this with a whispered, “We did it.”

“We did it,” Farah whispered in return.

“We’re here, together,” Ellie said quietly.

“We’re always together,” Ha-Lah declared.

“Yes,” three other women agreed.

Brothers of the Beast

THE ENCHANTMENTS

They stood in the trees, tall, regal, shoulder to shoulder, and studied the women that lay on their backs in the grass, babes at their chests, eyes to the sky.

“Do we leave them be?” True queried.

“Fuck no, don’t you hear my wee darling?” Cassius asked.

None of the men heard a thing.

“She fusses,” Cass muttered. “She needs her father.”

And then he strode into the glade.

Mars looked to Aramus then to True.

True looked to Mars then to Aramus.

Aramus grinned at the both of them.

“Cass!” they heard Ellie hiss. “We’re having Sisters of the Beast time.”

“Well, now it’s Sisters and Brothers of the Beast time,” Cassius retorted.

The remaining men looked into the glade.

Cass had wrested his sleeping daughter from her mother and was dropping to his arse, then falling back to rest his head on his wife’s belly, his still surprisingly sleeping daughter wrapped in his arms.

Ha-Lah was the first to look their way as the rest started striding to them.

“We’re being invaded,” she warned.

“I don’t mind,” Silence said.

Mars grinned at his queen.

“I don’t either,” Farah added.

True winked at his wife.

Ha-Lah said nothing, but she smiled at her husband, who smiled in return.

The men claimed their children, and all settled in the grass, Aramus doing it much the same as Cass, though he had one arm around his son, the fingers of his other hand tangled in his Ha-Lah’s curls.

And Mars arranged his Silence so her head rested on his stomach.

But when he did this, no one was surprised when a wee monkey came out from the curtain of her hair and snuggled into her papa’s chest next to her beloved tot.

And True fell to his back with Farah curling down his side with her head resting on his shoulder.

After they had settled, they were quiet, eyes to the sky, and naught to be heard but the sound of the wind rustling the leaves.

And as all were peering at the heavens, no one saw two sets of eyes shade with a starry night. And two sets become a verdant green. And two, blue waves crashing. The last two, blithely dancing flames.

They lay, husbands and wives, sisters and brothers, in peace.

And no one paid any mind to the two unicorns and their wee babe pulling at the green blades not too far from their sides.

Faunus of the Trusted

Manor House of a Trusted, Fire City

FIRENZE

Faunus woke, and she was pressed down his side, her legs tangled in his, and behind her, his legs were tangled in both of theirs.

His eyes opened and he turned his head and tucked his chin in his throat.

This was because her hand was coasting down his stomach.

When she sensed him awake, she gave him a cheeky grin and wrapped her fingers around his morning erection.

He growled and reached to her, taking her hips in his hands and hauling her atop him.

Since she already had hold, she bent over him, planting a hand in his chest, and guiding his cock to her with her other.

Moira bore down and at the glorious feel of his woman’s sleek, Faunus surged up.

They woke Saturn with their movements, and he moved as well.

He pressed a sleepy kiss to Moira’s thigh as she rode Faunus and then he reached around her, gave Faunus’s balls a squeeze, let go when he earned a pleasured grunt, and then he pushed up and touched his lips to Faunus’s.

He then shifted back, got up on his elbow and watched.

Eventually, Faunus took the thick silk of her hair at the back of her neck in his fist and knifed up, taking control of the ride with his arm about her hips, doing this until he heard her gasp and whisper his name when she finished.

Then he allowed himself to finish.

Saturn gave them time for it to leave them both before he pulled Moira off Faunus’s cock, rolled to his back and positioned her sitting over his face.
