Broken Monster 12

Raina awoke very gently to a soothing sensation that she was pleasantly familiar with now, ever since her daughter’s change. There was very little sunlight coming in through her gauzy curtains and a languid, sleepy glance through her dark, sleep-mussed hair at her alarm clock on a cardboard box across the room confirmed the dreadfully early hour. “No one should have to be awake at six a.m., it’s practically torture,” was her first thought. It was especially bad when she knew that she had set her alarm to go off thirty minutes from now. The guilty party for her early rising was calmly licking and kissing at her right breast, avoiding the sensitive nipple, but still giving her a light, pleasant stimulation. When she finally turned her head to look at her daughter, Aina didn’t look at all apologetic. In fact, she looked just as awake and perky as she usually did, and faintly amused as well, if she guessed right.

Aina being with her in bed wasn’t at all a surprise. After her being busily back at work, they’d both finally had an evening free, thanks to some conscientious actions on the part of their lovers, from any obligations last night and they had decided to use it to spend a ‘mother-and-daughter night in’ together. Because of work and the recent exciting events, it wasn’t often they had a chance to just hang out together like they’d used to; not that either of them would actually complain about their blooming relationships. They’d spent the evening in as planned, just talking, relaxing and watching movies, and eating a nice dinner in her case that Aina had generously prepared for her. Then Aina had come with her to bed, which she always did if the girls and Tina weren’t over.

Sometimes even when the others were here, the two of them still shared some nice moments together. Neither of them felt a need to sleep alone anymore if they didn’t have to, and they both enjoyed having things this way. Though, it happened less and less now since Ally was all but living with them, with how much time the girl spent here. Not that she felt a need to complain about that. Ally was such a sweet girl and everyone involved knew exactly how much she absolutely needed and adored Aina.

Her guilty pangs about having, and very much enjoying, sex with her twelve-year-old daughter were long gone by now. She just couldn’t argue with the positive results it had on their relationship. Both of them loved the closeness they’d developed too much to change back to the way things used to be. What was amazing though, was how accepting their respective loved ones were about it. Neither Tina nor the girls minded that they shared their familial love in this way. So they spent what time they could together as mother and daughter with the added intimacy and shared pleasure of sex when they were in the mood.

“Aina,” she moaned lightly and affectionately, gently stroking her fingertips down her daughter’s smooth back, feeling the small ridges of her spine until her hand cupped a firm bottom cheek. “You woke me up this early on purpose, didn’t you?”

Aina lifted her face up to look at her directly through loose, dark hair like her own, and Raina marveled once again at how beautiful her daughter had grown to be. Aina had always had the most expressive eyes, and she always felt maternal warmth at seeing Aina’s regard for her in them. When she wanted to know how she was doing as a parent, she looked into those depths and received an answer. At the moment though, she saw the glimmer of amusement in Aina’s expression.

Aina spoke calmly, but affectionately. “Mom, you only gave yourself sixty minutes to get ready for work, right after you told me, repeatedly, how important the client you’re meeting today is. I’ve slept in your bed enough times by now to know how long it takes you to get up and out the door, and an hour is not even close to enough. I’m just helping you out a little so you don’t end up running to the office in a rush, which always puts you in a horrible mood. I even tried to be gentle about it.”

Raina wanted to moan again, but in defeat this time. Aina was unfortunately correct in her assessment of the situation. She’d always been a horrible morning person, ever since she was a kid herself. Aina’s odd meditation-style sleep, where she slept for however long she wanted to and then awoke chipper and fully conscious of what was going on around her, would have made her jealous if she was a less mature woman. Instead she just accepted that things were the way they were and moved on. It wasn’t as if she wasn’t used to how they both managed each other like this. It went both ways of course, but as Aina had gotten older, the more she wanted to be helpful. The end result so far was a relationship where they both looked out for the other without even asking for it.

Before she could really say, or even construct, anything in response, Aina shifted position and then rolled lithely upward, surmounting her in one, smooth motion, and sat upright astride her hips. Fully and gloriously nude, with her long, dark hair hanging down and obviously happy to be showing herself off that way, Aina smiled down at her with filial pride. There was still humor in that smile, but to Raina, it told her most of all that her daughter was happy with her life at the moment and with her especially. And what mother doesn’t want to see such happiness in their child?

There were other benefits to their new way of living as well. The main thing was that they knew more about each other now than they ever had, and kept far fewer things back. She was realistic enough to know very well that Aina didn’t tell her absolutely everything, and she or course kept some things from Aina, but they were never important things that would affect the other. There was a whole new level of trust building between them too. This also brought about other esoteric knowledge that other mothers probably wouldn’t know, and maybe didn’t even want to know, about their daughters, but she now felt privileged to have.

For example, she’d discovered that Aina greatly enjoyed it when she used just the tips of her fingers to lightly graze in small circles at the back of Aina’s neck, just below the hairline. Aina found the tickling sensation very relaxing, especially when they were lying with their bare chests together so that Aina could more easily share in her body warmth at the same time. Despite how fast Aina was maturing, she still liked to be cuddled occasionally and to be loved on. She in turn found the act of giving such a comforting gesture to be immensely satisfying. They also shared many mundane things, but how many mothers knew the subtle body language that said their daughter was sexually satisfied or wanted more? She sure did.

Along those same lines, she was also able to tell now with a glance when Aina was aroused, or hungry. She also found the rapturous face Aina made in mid climax to be a beautiful sight, especially when her petite body was roiling in the pleasure that she, her mother, had given her. She knew the places Aina liked to have touched, and which she did not. It was all very intimate and so very lovely.

As taboo as all this knowledge was, she felt no remorse for discovering it, because she had shared the same things with Aina. She hoped and dreamed about her growing love for Tina, and the endless possibilities of a life together with her young girlfriend, but she would always treasure Aina. If she bore more children, and she hoped to have several if possible, then she would take what she had learned with Aina and love them with all her heart. And Aina would make a wonderful older sister too!

“You’ve got that funny look in your eyes again,” Aina said softly, and Raina looked back up, breaking from her momentary reverie, and into warm eyes that were so much like her own in shape and coloration. Aina leaned forward and touched a cheek lightly; her pale-skinned arm making a visual trail to her wonderful nudity. All that creamy skin and those tiny breasts were a treat to look upon. “Do I look like that when I’m thinking about stuff too?”

“No honey, you’ve got your own interesting looks,” Raina chuckled. Unable to help herself, she ran her hand, nails just barely touching, up along Aina’s inner thigh. She felt the muscles underneath smooth skin twitch from the tickling, and there was a very slight narrowing of Aina’s irises. It was the response she had been looking for, and her hand continued its short journey. The discovery that Aina’s sex was already in a state of hot wetness wasn’t a surprise at all, and she ran the pad of one finger down the slippery lips, swollen with arousal. It was just as she knew it would be.

“Mom, I woke you up early so you could get ready,” Aina complained, but made no move to stop her actions. These days, even when Aina wasn’t particularly turned on, her small pussy was at least a little wet and ready to go, but Raina knew the signs in her daughter’s body language and facial expressions. Aina wanted to have sex, and not just because she was thirsty. Knowing Aina found her attractive was always nice, but she missed Tina’s hot, love filled gaze already, even though it was less than a single day since they last saw each other. Her patience would be rewarded soon.

“Shush,” she admonished gently, giving Aina a very light, playful smack on the outside of a thigh with her free hand. “I’m just teasing you a little first. Let me have my fun.”

Her finger stopped at a familiar spot and nestled there, and despite the wetness, it took a bit of pressure for her middle finger to slip between those cute lips and into moist heat. Due to her body’s tendency to always revert back to the exact state at which she became a vampire, Aina’s little sex would always be incredibly tight. Vaginal muscles squeezed firm in happy welcome at her finger’s intrusion, and Aina’s legs flexed as the pleasure tickled along her nerves. When the digit was buried deep and copiously coated in Aina’s fluids, she pulled it out, slid along the perineum and circled the back passage teasingly. The hole clenched at first from the sudden contact, but then relaxed at her circling attention, asking eagerly for the digit. When she saw Aina’s eyes close in enjoyment at one of her favorite ways of being touched, she slowed and withdrew her hand.

“Aww, mom!” Aina moaned, giving her a knowing, playful smirk at being left hanging. “It’s a good thing Ally will be here soon, that was really nice.”

“You are the one who climbed on top of me, honey,” Raina explained patiently, not allowing her own humor to show yet.

Aina giggled, and promptly covered her mouth to stop it from leaking out. Aina absolutely hated it when she giggled. She thought it was childish and cutesy, and avoided doing it in front of anyone but her, and possibly the girls. “Mom, you still need to start moving,” her daughter said, blithely ignoring her comment now, though her eyes were bright with both amusement and arousal. “Want me to start the shower?”

Raina let her laugh out now and nodded her acceptance. “Sure, I’ll be in there in a second.”

Aina rolled off in a graceful dismount of the bed and glided, as that was the only way to describe her deliberately enticing method of traversing the room, to the attached bath. Raina watched with pleasure and took the physical repartee as a sign that Aina was in a very good mood this morning. Considering what kind of day lay before her, that was a not a shock. Smiling at those thoughts, she slid her wet finger into her own mouth and savored the familiar taste of her daughter on her tongue. Her appreciation for a girl’s fluids would have been shocking a month or so ago, but now she savored the slickness, and Aina did taste so lovely.

Sitting up and letting her warm sheets slide away, she slung her legs over the side of the bed, and then she rolled her shoulders to loosen them a little before she stood. Like Aina, she was fully and unabashedly naked, and the rapid change in temperature made her nipples harden again into little pebbles atop her still-firm breasts. Raising her arms overhead, she stretched a bit further to wake herself up a little more. Her mind was moving more clearly now and she made sure that yes, her clothes for the day were hanging on the wall-mounted rack, just as she’d left them. She didn’t wear her formal suit often, but she was determined to look as professional as possible today. As Aina had said, this was an important day for the company she worked for, and Tina and her daughter had both agreed that the fitted suit looked amazing on her. She would trust their judgment.

“It’s ready!” Aina called, coming to stand with her hand held idly against the bathroom’s doorframe. “It’s nice and hot for you!

“I’m coming,” she responded cheerfully, following Aina into the economy-sized master bath. The shower was hissing away with steam pouring out of the cubical. Aina was bent over, retrieving a fluffy blue towel from the cupboard. It was very tempting to reach down and touch her again with all that round bottom on display. She was feeling quite playful this morning, it seemed. “I can do all of this on my own, you know. I’ve survived thirty years already and managed to bath myself for most of those.”

“I like helping,” Aina answered simply, as she always did at her protests. Since it had been just the two of them for twelve years, they had a long history of ‘managing’ the other. Aina saw it as her responsibility as daughter, to take care of her mom, just as she was taken care of first. Raina was mostly fine with it, though she sometimes missed being able to spoil Aina a little. She was sure most mothers reached this point eventually, but she still treasured her memories of all the hard work and mothering until today.

Aina hung the towel on the chromed bar next to the shower, and Raina saw the assessing glance she gave the bathroom as a whole. Other than that towel, a couple necessary hygiene items, and the things in the shower, the bathroom was starkly empty. Everything else was in the boxes cluttering up her bedroom. No doubt Aina was making sure nothing unnecessary had been left unpacked.

“I know you do, honey, and don’t think for a second that it isn’t appreciated,” she responded. She approached her daughter, enjoying the visual effect of Aina’s now glistening nudity with steam from the shower billowing about her; it was an effect she’d have to remember to try for herself.

There was little point in closing the door behind her because anyone who saw them would likely be Tina or the girls and there was no reason in hiding anything from them at this point. Aina happily slid into her arms and tilted her head up in expectation. Raina chuckled and gave the quick kiss that Aina wanted. It wasn’t the deep kiss of a lover, but a sharing of their mutual love as mother and daughter. Despite her growing maturity, Aina still cherished her mom, and Raina prized that so much. “Are you going to join me, honey?”

“Hmmm, I don’t think I can,” Aina answered with a slight, thoughtful frown, and made no move to disengage the embrace just yet. “Ally is going to be here soon, and we’ll need some time together before school; plus, she’s likely to get me covered in her sweat anyways.”

Raina’s smile widened involuntarily at that. Aina tried to avoid quickie sex. Her daughter much preferred to prolong things, with a lot of lead-up followed by long, hot love-making. It was funny sometimes, watching Aina when she was trying to be subtle while working on her girlfriends. Once, Aina spent almost two hours with Krista driving the poor girl into an absolute tizzy while they all watched TV, until Krista had nearly dragged Aina back to the bedroom. She had grown to appreciate her daughter’s efforts and had even learned from them. Tina thought it was funny, but appreciated the results.

“Quit being so fussy,” she admonished gently. “Today is Friday, so you’ll have the whole weekend ahead to have fun.”

“That’s true!” Aina replied, smirking up at her as if she had somehow been unaware of that. Aina arose again, and this time Aina released her magic as they kissed softly and Raina felt hot stickiness drool down her legs. The increasing volume of fluids she produced had finally plateaued some time ago, but the amount was staggering sometimes. She didn’t know if the effects of Aina’s saliva were permanent, but she was quite prodigious these days. At least she wasn’t as bad as poor Janet. Jennifer had sounded quite bemused by how much of a mess Janet could make of her bed sheets, when they compared parental notes over the phone. She actually enjoyed it though, and Aina sure as hell did, as her pleased expression firmly suggested.

“Mmmm, that’s a nice feeling to have in the morning,” she sighed, automatically dropping a hand to caress Aina’s supple bottom again. Her body knew what was coming and the anticipation was always wonderful. Her nipples were already very hard, and Aina claimed one with her mouth to give it a playful nibble while looking her in the eyes. Magic flowed into her and she clenched her vaginal muscles excitedly making fluids escape. She was almost always easily aroused in the morning, and now that her sex drive was back in full swing after years of neglect, Aina and Tina both took full, shameless advantage of it. She did not complain.

“I still wish we didn’t have to rush,” Aina nitpicked with a sigh of her own, after releasing the nipple to lick up along the curve of her neck. Aina’s small hands groped both breasts, lovingly caressing them. “But today is going to be a busy one.”

“You’re going to behave I hope?” she said, running her hand down inside the crease of Aina’s butt. Again Aina’s anus tightened at the attention, and once again she pulled away to caress the firmness of that bottom flesh. Like Aina, she also liked to tease sometimes and Aina usually enjoyed the game. Ally would appreciate her efforts later, she was sure.

“When don’t I?” Aina laughed slyly, with a predatory gleam in her eyes. “Besides, you already know that I really like Tina, and I’m glad she’ll be around from now on. She makes you happy. And it’s cool that you are letting her be in charge of of most of the move-in stuff.”

“You’re sure that wasn’t unfair of me, asking her do this?” Raina asked. A hand disappeared from her breasts and was quickly placed between her legs. She loved Tina so much that it was almost painful, and she wanted to get things right this time. She hoped that placing her trust in her girlfriend was the right way to go about doing that. She was so rusty at this relationship stuff that she often bounced really iffy ideas off of Aina or Danni to keep from putting her foot in her mouth too badly.

Aina responded by laughing softly, and burying her face between Raina’s breasts for a moment before she could talk. “Mom! Tina was so happy you asked her to help out that she almost peed herself with excitement! Krista says she wouldn’t shut up about it for hours afterwards when they had dinner together. She’s wants to be involved with us, since she’ll be sharing her life with ours. She wants to be a real part of the family and this is defiantly the right way to show her she’s welcome. It’s not like she won’t have help since the whole lot of us are going to be there too.”

“True,” Raina smiled. “It’s a good thing she’s already familiar with the antics you get up to though.”

“I have no idea what you are talking about,” Aina responded with false primness. “Now rest your back against the wall for me please.”

Raina did as she was asked, and felt a knowing flutter in her belly when Aina knelt before her. Aina’s hot, wet tongue dove eagerly into her while gentle fingers stroked along her lips and beautiful hazel eyes gazed up into her own. Aina was always trying slightly new variations, and had discovered the most wonderful ways to get her going. This time Aina didn’t bother with subtlety, going instead with assertive and energetic eagerness, and she gasped at the amazing pleasure thrumming through her.

All she could really do was ride along, accepting what her daughter was song to her. Sure Aina may not like wam-bam-and-done sex, but that didn’t mean she didn’t know how, and even then Aina made it as sensual as possible. She was conscientious and often took just as much enjoyment in giving such wondrous attentions, as accepting them. It was just how she was wired. Since she was lucky enough to be on the receiving end of such devotion, she enjoyed it immensely.

She grabbed one of her breasts and gently fondled herself, pinching outwards on the nipple and massaging her sensitive places. Her other hand stroked through Aina’s hair, and enjoyed the soft tactile sensation. Aina followed the unconscious movements of her hips with determination and enthusiasm. Raina could see that Aina was enjoying this too, because her eyes were watching and conveying the smile her mouth was too preoccupied to display.

“Oooh,” A shudder ran down through the muscles of her legs, threatening their support. Her body knew a climax was incoming and it was hungry for it. Two skinny fingers slid inside to fill her and the orgasm that was soon triggered shut down rational thought for several moments as the pleasure flooded her body in a wonderful cascade. She was aware of wet, spattering noises, but when she relaxed again and came down, Aina’s chest was well coated in her fluids. Aina was already in the process of cleaning herself telekinetically, happily slurping down her liquid meal and leaning her fingers in a deliberately erotic fashion. “Wow, that was a big one Aina.”

“I enjoyed it too,” Aina said proudly with a pleased smile as she licked her small lips, and there was also a faint hint of violet luminescence in her eyes for just a second as her vampiric nature arose closer to the surface to absorb the meal. It was a small reminder of what her daughter was now. Aina stood again, stepping back to give her some breathing space. Then Aina frowned and cocked her head in a pose of consideration that she always found adorable. “Ally is going to be here any minute, so I need to head out towards the kitchen.”

“You sure there isn’t time for me to reciprocate?” Raina asked hopefully, still basking in the warm afterglow of the powerful climax. It was impossible to miss the wanting need in Aina’s stance and the wetness on Aina’s aroused labia. She felt bad about leaving her daughter in that state after what she’d just had done to her.

“I wish there was, but nope,” Aina shook her head wryly with a small smile that said she was thankful for the offer anyways. “I’ll barely have enough time to be with my Ally after I make breakfast, and I want to enjoy as much of it as I can. Plus, you need to get ready still.”

With that reminder of limited time, Raina pushed away from the wall and finally climbed into the hot shower. Aina had always liked being bathed when she was little, and now that they freely enjoyed having sex with each other, she’d joined her in the shower a number of times, but not this morning it seemed. Instead Aina slipped out of the bathroom with a cheery smile to make breakfast, and Raina felt kind of disappointed at not being able to give return pleasure to her daughter this time around. She shook the thought off though and focused on getting clean.

The water was almost hot enough to scald her skin, which was pretty much what she had expected. Aina’s inability to tell the temperature meant that she’d guessed, or more likely she just turned the knob to the same spot every time, not knowing that Raina in turn always had to lower it just a tad. The climax had blown away the last vestiges of sleep from her body, and she felt very alive and awake. The pummeling spray was truly wonderful on her sweaty skin and very refreshing. The grime of sleep and sex sluiced away down the drain.

As she soaped her skin, she marveled at how happy she was these days. Not only had she discovered a deeper and wonderfully pleasurable relationship with her lovely daughter, she’d found that she was being given a great chance at real love. They’d only been able to go on a few real dates alone together, thanks to her job and Tina’s classes, but they had each been so wonderful that they stood as flashing glimmers in her memory. Also, Aina not only understood her growing adoration for Tina, but genuinely liked the young woman and respected her. Aina had even gone on a shopping trip together with Tina to get to know her better, from which they’d returned in a very friendly humor.

Her reflection caught in the faintly fogged mirror by the sink, and she smiled yet again. She was thirty years old, but the face that looked back, with shampoo suds poofing her long hair, was closer to the one she’d seen ten years ago. The stresses that came with work and dealing with her monstrous mother were gone. Yet there was more to it than that.

She’d felt odd at first, being a decade older than Tina, but her girlfriend didn’t care about the age differences, and that had included the physical ones. Now though, she was looking more youthful than was normal. Aina’s doctor theorized that the changes were due in part to the powerful restorative properties of Aina’s saliva, and her own decreased stress levels. She certainly felt pretty good these days, her libido was burning away with a young girl’s liveliness and her metabolism had sped up noticeably. She’d even thought about going to the gym to try and keep things this way for a while.

Feeling clean and reinvigorated, she entered her bedroom with nothing but a towel wrapped around her hair. The room was filled with a large number of cardboard boxes filled in turn with the ungodly amount of random crap she’d accumulated over the last twelve years and more. She went to one particular box that was still unsealed and pulled out a clean pair of black panties and a bra that were far more lacy and sexy looking than any she’d had before meeting Tina. She pulled them on, and then remembered to put on a liner as well. Wet spots during work would not be a good thing. That made her chuckle.

A few days ago, Tina called her during lunch. She’d been more than happy to chat with her girlfriend, but Tina had been in one of her mischievous moods. When she wanted to be, Tina could be quite bold, and her ribald comments and promises had nearly made her mess her desk chair. Now she made sure to never forget to wear a pad and to make sure she had spares in her purse. She also learned that same night that Tina was more than willing to fulfill any erotic promises she might make, and then some. Aina, predictably, had found the whole thing very amusing the next morning when she’d shared the experience with her.

Her business suit had been professionally fitted, and since her figure hadn’t changed very much since then, she slipped it on with ease and comfort, carefully adjusting the collar of the cream colored blouse at the neck of the coat. After brushing out her long hair and putting it up a little in a professional style, she felt ready to face her day.

The rest of the house was completely devoid of anything except the ubiquitous cardboard box invasion. The walls were barren, Aina’s bedroom and bathroom were empty, and the carpets all had little depressions where furniture had sat for years. In fact, the only thing in the house other than boxes containing all their belongings was the stuff in her room and the kitchen, and that was only out of necessity. When she entered the package cluttered living room, a familiar teenage girl with thick, long blonde hair and attractively defined cheekbones was leaning back against a stack with an empty plate, a steaming coffee mug that was filling the air with a divine aroma, and the cell phone she was typing into.

“Good morning Larissa,” she said in a friendly greeting to the older of Ally’s cousins. “I see Aina fed you too.”

“She was quite insistent about it,” Larissa grinned up at her. The girl, like her sister and cousin had that kind of beauty that took a second to really sink in and hit you. Larissa however had always struck her as very thoughtful, down-to-earth and just a bit pithy when her mother wasn’t around. “Good morning to you too though, and that suit looks great on you. Very classy Ms. D.”

“Thank you, but why are you out here by yourself?”

Larissa chuckled and nodded her head in the direction of the kitchen. “I’m staying where it’s safe. I’ll get diabetes if I am around those two for too long this morning.”

“Ah, it’s one of those kinds of days huh,” Raina chuckled back. She rather liked Ally’s cousins, and Larissa was quite mature for her age and easy to talk to. She drove Ally over more than half the time and they’d come to form a kind of friendship. Part of it was because Larissa was planning on pursuing some kind of business degree and Raina was more than happy to share her own experiences with the very intelligent teen. The other part was that Larissa and her sister both ‘watched’ the girls when Danni couldn’t on the nights she and Tina did something together. That arrangement would be unnecessary at the new home, but she suspected that Aina and the girls would be disappointed if their older friends and playmates disappeared.

“Yeah, Ally had one of her bad nights last night,” Larissa sighed. “Aina knew about it of course, with that weird link they have. So now Aina is in her protective mode and it’s all lovey-dovey in there. For those of us that are unattached at the moment, there’s only so much of that I can watch without feeling jealous. I am doing the mature thing by coming out here.”

“I see,” she replied, smiling at the half-joking tone in that statement. “Well, I need to eat something before I leave so I can survive my meeting on time and fed. Did you get enough food?”

“This would be my second breakfast,” Larissa laughed, taping her plate with her phone. “Don’t tell my mom this, but I always look forward to eating with you guys; you and Aina both make some amazing stuff. I’m so full now I probably won’t be eating lunch today.”

Raina left the girl to her mysterious cell phone typing and entered the kitchen. After hearing that Ally had one of her bad moments, she wasn’t surprised to find the girl practically welded to Aina’s side at the stove. Today her long blonde hair was clipped up and back in a tail, leaving her tiny, cutely shaped ears exposed. Dressed in a pair of swishy athletic shorts and a spaghetti-top shirt, she was quite adorable. At the moment, Aina had one arm around Ally’s slim waist, whilst the other hand was working a spatula in a skillet. Aina had also thrown on a pair of shorts and a loose camisole top, but Raina knew with certainty there was nothing under that.

“Morning Ms. Dennet!” Ally slipped from Aina’s grasp and bounced over with the lovable perkiness of a thousand over-caffeinated hamsters. She still thought that Janet was the most boisterous and rambunctious of the girls, but Ally was just so vivaciously lovable that she couldn’t help smiling when the girl was around. What was odd was that even though she had never once tried to act as a surrogate mother to her, Ally seemed to see her in that light anyway because she was here so much. Her aunt and uncle were authority figures and family that she loved, but somehow Raina found herself adopted into the role as well. The end result was that Ally showed a great deal of fondness towards her, and it was quite flattering too. Now she found herself caring deeply for Ally.

She accepted Ally’s eager hug of greeting and placed an affectionate kiss to the girl’s forehead. Ally happily returned the kiss with one on her cheek, “Good morning to you too, dear, you seem in good spirits.”

Ally giggled unashamedly in pleasure at the loving attention and slid back a little towards Aina. “Larissa told you about last night, huh? Aina’s been getting rid of the bogies for me already, and I talked to Janet and Krista on the phone last night too. So I’m feeling pretty good.”

‘Bogies’ was the odd word Ally used to label her bouts of sadness, which were coming less and less often as Aina worked those emotional demons out of her. Aina’s admittedly strange method of therapy worked wonders, though it wasn’t really something she could recommend to other parents. The two girls shared a connection that was unique to them. “That’s good to hear.” She replied with open relief. “You’re ready for school?”

“Of course!” Ally answered with a grin. The tutoring Ally was receiving from Aina and the others in order to catch her up was almost unnecessary. Ally was exceptionally intelligent and proactive in her education, so she never really needed to be told to do her homework. Mostly she just used the other girls to clarify things, or to check her homework over.

“Good timing mom,” Aina broke in, slipping around them with the skillet. A plate wafted into place at the table, and when the toaster popped, a hot slice of crusty bread slipped over as well. Next to arrive was the butter, a glass, and a carton of orange juice. With a deft flipping movement of skillet and spatula, a perfect, fluffy omelet slid onto the plate next to the toast. Aina returned the pan to the stove magically, and strode to the counter where she poured out a steaming mug of coffee and added just the right amount of real cream. The carafe had just enough left to allow for a second mug for herself or Larissa if they wanted one. Aina could be trusted to be polite even with coffee.

“You’re spoiling me this morning,” she teased, but smiled appreciatively for the effort being done. Cooking was rapidly becoming a passion for her daughter, despite the fact that Aina could eat very little without discomfort. The presentation alone made her plate look as if prepared by a chef. “I see you’ve been watching the food channel again.”

“Are you complaining?” Aina laughed insouciantly, moving to embrace Ally from behind in a possessive, yet loving hold. Despite having two weeks to get used to the idea, Ally’s aunt still didn’t quite understand that Aina considered Ally to be hers, and Ally in turn was more than happy to be Aina’s. There was no domination or coercion in the relationship, but Gerri just didn’t get that Ally’s binding link to Aina existed on several levels, including the instinctual. She however thought nothing of it anymore. Aina loved Ally in a way few people would, or could, ever understand, and two of those that did were already her girlfriends.

Smiling at the picture before her, of Ally settling back into Aina’s hold, she answered. “Not at all honey. Moms like being spoiled just as much as daughters do.”

“Cool,” Aina’s smile widened. “Are you finished with the bedroom? I need to spoil Ally now.”

Ignoring Ally’s pleased giggle, she said. “Yes, my purse and stuff is on that box in the living room, so it’s all yours. So go ahead and have fun.”

“Great!” Aina turned to lead Ally back through the house, but then stopped and turned around. “Oh. Before I forget to mention it, there’s a small, blue, sealed container in the fridge. Whatever you do, don’t open it.”

Raina felt a grin tugging at her lips. “Aina, I’m not going to go poking around at your sample bottles. Though, I don’t get why they embarrass you so much.”

“It’s just weird,” Aina grimaced. “Your breakfast will get cold if you don’t eat quickly.” Before Raina could say aught else, Aina pulled the laughing Ally out of the room.

The little containers contained Aina’s samples for the doctors at the supernatural section at the hospital. As it turned out, Aina’s body actually followed the laws of physics for the most part, just in slightly odd ways. Most people never thought about the mass of all the blood, and in Aina’s case, vaginal fluids, that vampires consumed. Unless they were some kind of perfectly efficient magical nuclear reactor, they couldn’t just keep feeding without gaining mass every single time. Aina’s contribution to supernatural science was smashing the assumption that vampires didn’t excrete. What came out, from the bladder only, definitely was not urine. What it was, was still to be determined, hence the test jars. Since this was the first time Aina had done so after over a month, the distilled whatever it was, did not smell very nice and had an odd milky color.

The passing of the liquid had caught Aina by surprise, so she’d used one of the sample containers for her saliva to save some for the doctor who had been fascinated by this development. Aina however found the whole thing embarrassing and didn’t like talking about it. She said that to her senses, the stuff absolutely reeked, so disgust was a part of it too. Though she was also curious, Raina felt no need to pry into something her daughter was uncomfortable with. Instead she sat down and enjoyed one of the best omelettes she’d ever eaten.

After placing her dirties in the dishwasher, it was time to leave. She checked over her things one more time, making sure there wasn’t anything she was forgetting. Back out in the living room, she collected her purse, briefcase, and charged cell phone. Opening the door, she raised an acknowledging hand to Larissa as she spoke her leave-taking. “I know I say this every time, but thanks for driving the girls Larissa.”

“Heh, I’m actually getting a better reputation by doing it,” Larissa smirked back at her. “It makes people think I’m all responsible and stuff. Plus, those two are crazily cute and no self-respecting high school kid would dare say they’re uncool.”

“Well, I’ll see later at the new house. Bye now.”

“Bye Ms. D!”

Chuckling, Raina made her way to her sedan, feeling a good vibe about her day. Once she was situated, she pulled out and started her work commute. Then the day got even better when a certain special ring sang out from her phone. She’d purchased one of those connections for the car, so she punched the speakerphone button and said with a wide smile, “Good morning Tina.”

---

“Krista!”

Pausing at the call of her name, she turned and scanned the tumultuous mass of young people in the front of campus for the source of that familiar voice. The end-of-the-day bell had rung for both the high school and middle school buildings just five minutes ago, and spirits were high due to the immanent weekend. The warmer weather also probably had something to do with t.

Though it was a private school, it was a very popular one and a sizable percentage of the student population was on the sidewalk and grass that ran in front of both buildings, along which the buses sat lined up with engines rumbling. Finding one person amid the chaotic throng was an interesting task. Luckily, the person was walking with two others she knew.

About ten meters away and closing quickly, Ally’s distinctive blonde head was split by a smile as she raised a hand to draw her attention. Ally was flanked by Janet who had her arm entwined companionably with Ally’s, and Natalie, Tina’s younger sister. The only thing that kept her from striding forward to hug and kiss her girlfriends was the public nature of their location. Instead she waited patiently, which drew a knowing smile from Janet; since it was Janet who had called her name, she matched the smile with one of her own.

“Did you miss us?!” Janet twitted when she was close enough not to have to shout.

“Since I last saw you at lunch?” she laughed. “Of course I did. Is Natalie a bonus or something for making me wait?”

“I’m a bonus?” Natalie grinned. Krista had known the slightly older girl for years because she was Tina’s sister. After the dinner party though, she’d become a friend to all of them. Natalie was a lot of fun to have around for games and such, and she didn’t mind at all hanging out with girls three years her junior. Plus, Natalie already had a notion that Aina was her in-law family now and wanted to start things off right. “That’s kinda cool.”

“It was long for us too you know,” Ally interjected cheerfully, still looking around and absently tucking some of her golden, silken hair behind an ear.

“Aina got held up for a bit,” Krista supplied, knowing what her girlfriend was trying to find. Ally had gotten placed in Janet’s class so that she’d have someone she was close to with her. According to Janet and Ally, the teachers had all been informed that if Ally had one of her bad moments, they were to get Aina immediately, not a school official. They all found it odd that none of the teachers had objected to this, though some were obviously curious about the why of it. So far though, Ally hadn’t had one at school.

“Oh,” Ally faced her directly again, and that sunny smile was directed in full force at her. Krista felt no jealousy at all that it was Aina Ally looked for first. They all understood Ally’s bond to their girlfriend and held no rancor about it. Ally regarded her with no less love than the other two, and it showed plainly in her expressions and actions. Part of what she loved so much about Ally was her complete openness with them. She was sincere in everything she did. “I wasn’t really joking about missing you.” Ally said now, eagerly separating from Janet to give her a quick hug. And that was another thing she loved about Ally, the girl just loved to snuggle.

Strangely, now that they were a foursome, there was a lot less speculation around school about their relationship with each other. When it was just her, Janet and Aina, there’d been some quiet whispers that touched on the truth of things. Now the rumor machine had them pegged as girls that were just really, oddly close friends or something like that, though Aina individually was still talked about as maybe liking girls and for other reasons. No one seemed to think four girls could possibly be in a romantic relationship, especially at their age. Until they were all eighteen, it was much safer that way.

“So what’s the plan?” She asked, still holding Ally against her right side. She turned to look again at Natalie. “Is your sister here already?”

“Lemmie check!” Natalie slipped a tiny cell phone out of her pocket and slid it open. A happy grin immediately appeared after messages were exchanged. “Says she’s already over in the guest lot with Larissa.”

“Then we may as well head over,” Janet said, nodding once. “Aina will find us easy enough.”

Together as a group they navigated the crowd until it thinned out once they were away from the bus embarkation area. There was another mass over at the high school student parking lot, but they were heading towards the smaller lot used for guests and other temporary visitors. It was tucked away around and behind the buildings near a sizable retention pond that always attracted a horde of ducks in warmer seasons. Lazy students avoided it at all cost.

The walk was a little long, but eminently enjoyable. Over the last few days the weather had finally made a turn towards springtime. Temperatures had been rising steadily and all the snow had melted away. The lawns were still dull looking and trees were only just budding, but there was that unique smell in the air you only got during this time of year. Her fey heritage also let her feel the resurgence of life as well. She was a Summer Court fey, so she always felt better once winter was done.

The pleasantly fun company of Natalie and her own girlfriends actually made the trek pass far too quickly in her opinion. Once they were out of sight of the largest groups of students Janet moved in closer and Krista knew that any inopportune observer could have little doubt that the three of them were ‘together’ in the intimate sense. Natalie of course liked to tease them when they did things like that, but she wasn’t hurtful about it, the girl just liked to laugh.

“There they are!” Janet exclaimed when they rounded the high school and started to descend the gentle slope towards the lot. Janet pointed down and towards the back of the tarmac where familiar figures could be seen talking to each other between two vehicles.

“Damn, how’d Triela get here so fast?” Natalie said, also spotting them. “We have our last class together.”

“You came and got me first, remember,” Krista laughed. “Was it a race or something?”

“Not officially,” Natalie returned the laugh. “But it’s the principle of the thing.”

Since they’d all started becoming friends, they’d found out that Ally’s cousin Triela and Natalie had a mutually competitive inclination towards each other. It was all in fun, but they seemed to get a kick out of being first to get somewhere or score higher on a test. Like just now, most of their ‘competitions’ happened spontaneously, with no announcement from either person. The two girls were just that oddly in tune.

“If it will make you feel better, you can beat her at video games later,” Janet supplied in good humor. She had a faster walk down the hill, and as always Krista’s eyes slid down a little to observe the movement of her girlfriend’s beautiful butt. Since Aina had turned her on to them, she shamelessly enjoyed it. By unanimous opinion, Janet’s was the best.

“You brought your system along?!” Natalie responded with eager interest.

“She left it with me at my house last night and packed it with my stuff. Tina will have it in the rental truck,” Krista answered. “I know which box it’s in.”

“Hell yeah!” Natalie replied with renewed enthusiasm. “It’s fun watch’n Triela’s face when I trounce her, and she can’t resist the challenge.”

“I seem to recall you falling for the same thing during track practices last fall,” Krista pointed out.

“And Triela beat you,” Janet added, smirking at the face Natalie was making now.

“She’s only ahead of me by a hair in two events,” Natalie huffed, just as they were stepping down off the curb and began weaving through the parked cars.

Krista took the opportunity presented by the cars blocking sightlines to walk closer to Janet and quickly run an arm around and behind to hold her and touch her bottom at the same time. Ally, having dropped back a little because of the cars being close barked a laugh when Janet goosed at first contact and then turned slightly with a smile. Janet had decided eventually that she liked the attention everyone paid to her butt. Aina of course, had a lot to do with that, but she and Ally helped too.

“You can play with my butt later,” Janet said grinning, and Krista definitely noted the excited light in the girl’s eyes. Then she quoted Aina’s mother. “You know we’re not supposed to flirt like randy teenagers where people can see us.”

“Call it a sneak preview then,” Krista responded confidently. Then, to cheat and make sure she got the last word on this, she raised her hand to get the attention of the three young women they were meeting. “Tina!”

Tina and the others abandoned their conversation and turned at her voice. Tina was dressed more casually than usual, in a pair of serviceable jeans and a button-up shirt that looked nice on her lithe frame. Recognition and smiles arose as Tina responded. “Good to see you girls too. Where’s Aina?”

Before Krista or the others could respond, there was a peculiar shadowy flicker in the light around them. She felt the touch of a familiar magic power brush against her skin, while at the same time Ally twitched and eagerly began turning. The voice spoke just as a small hand gave her butt a quick, but sensuous caress.

“I’m right here,” Aina said smoothly with both humor and heat in her voice. Aina came up against Krista’s left side and before she could do anything, Krista found that Aina was sliding fully up against her and then she was being thoroughly kissed. It was quick and intense, and though she knew Aina was being playful, she felt the love even as she moistened dangerously in her panties. When Aina pulled back and walked backwards with perfect confidence through the few remaining cars in their way, she wore a rather proud smile of her face. “I figured that if you can get a freebie, I wanted some too,” Aina said with her usual graceful dignity.

“You saw all that?” Tina asked curiously as the groups joined together and there was open pleasure and gratitude on Tina’s face when Aina turned around and gave her an affectionate hug in greeting. Aina had told them that she really liked Tina and definitely approved of her as her mother’s girlfriend. As far as Aina was concerned, Tina was family now and she would be treated accordingly.

“I was watching from the classroom,” Aina responded as she glided a few steps back to more naturally speak to all of them. “The conversation was too funny not to listen in on.”

She was still reeling from Aina’s unexpected kiss, but Krista marveled once again at the reminder that Aina could be remarkably aware of her surroundings. When she chose to, she could observe almost anything for over mile. Aina claimed that things inside buildings and past multiple walls were much vaguer, but outdoors, nothing barred her magical sight. Mostly, Aina just focused her supernatural attention on the three of them, her mother, and now Tina. Those with important emotional attachment were very easy for her to find.

It was actually one of the lesser changes Aina had gone through since becoming a vampire. Over the weeks since then, there were others that were far more visible. Even other students had picked up on the new regal air and superhuman grace that seemed to mantle Aina. She just radiated calm assurance. Despite being very petite even for her age, and more cute than beautiful to most people, Aina was gaining a reputation far out of proportion to her actual social interaction with others.

Also, since the dinner party, Aina had decided that perhaps it wouldn’t be so bad to spend more attention to personal appearance and grooming. The changes were subtle so far, but people noticed anyway. Aina had begun choosing better fitting clothes that, with help from her and Ally, looked far nicer than before. It was something Krista assuredly approved of.

Her girlish figure was accented and Aina even spent a little more time fixing her hair, which in the past she’d just considered a bother. So far her style hadn’t changed too much, but people were already noticing the little differences. Combine that with her usual calm, confident demeanor, and even adults spoke to her more like an equal than Krista thought even they realized. But Ainawas only twelve, and she still liked to play and have fun with her friends and loved ones. It was an odd duality that worked anyway.

“I don’t see why you don’t use that little shadow-walking trick to get to and from school,” Triela noted. Like Tina, she was dressed informally for the occasion. “It’s damn convenient.”

“True,” Aina nodded, settling into a more casual stance with her arms clasped behind her back. Her eyes still held a good deal of amusement though. “But, then I’d miss out on fun little moments like this. It’s more enjoyable this way.”

“In which you broke the flirting rule too,” Krista laughed, ignoring the warm wetness between her legs for now.

“Ah, but I checked every person capable of seeing this spot and knew none were looking,” Aina quipped proudly. “Too bad there was only enough time for one of you though. Now there are at least four people who are generally looking towards this lot.”

“That look on your face was priceless though, Krista,” Larissa chuckled delightedly. “I freaking love being around you guys. I’ve never been more entertained in my life!”

“Is that so?” Janet asked, with eyebrow raised and a mischievous smile played on her lips. “Then I’ll just have to record you the next time Ally or Aina drink your blood. We’ll see who makes the funny faces.”

“Truce!” Larissa barked, barely able to talk around her sudden bout of laughter. Triela was nearly bent double she was laughing so hard and Larissa gave her sister an arched look. “Don’t think you’re any better sis, I’ve seen the faces you make too!”

“Yeah, but at least I wasn’t carried by Aina to my bed, mumbling about finally getting laid,” Triela countered, slowly getting her chuckling under control.

“I was tired!” Larissa argued indignantly. She turned towards Aina again. “Right?”

“I dunno, but it was funny to physically carry someone almost twice my height and weight,” Aina answered smoothly, clearly enjoying herself.

Krista greatly adored the banter at times like these. Before that amazing week or so in which she went from heartbreak to finding herself being loved by not one, but three girls, she’d been a bit of a loner. By natural inclination, she hadn’t been even close to sociable. She’d been content having a few friendly conversations at school, reading at home and hanging out with Tina and her family. Now she not only had multiple lovers and rarely slept alone, she had several good friends and even other adults she felt confident in conversing with. Trying to think along the path that led her to this point made her head spin.

She felt a hand slip into and clasp hers, and when she glanced to he left, Janet was smiling into her gaze. Bright green eyes shined with humor and happiness. “Aina seems to be in a good mood today,” Janet said, sotto voce. “She’s excited already.”

“Wouldn’t you be excited if you were moving into a new house that freed you from an evil grandmother?” she replied. “Though, I can kind of understand the moving part myself.”

“I wish I could move in too,” Janet sighed with a rueful smile, but without any real jealousy. “But I’ll admit to you that I’d miss my parents far too much. It’ll be nice having everyone close by though.”

“I told you, I’m renting my room,” she said in a defense she knew was useless. The worry she’d felt when she’d phoned her father, who was in South Korea or something like that, to ask about moving in with Aina, had been totally unwarranted. The lack of caring in his brusque approval of the rent stipend had been sharp and painful, but temporary. Janet, Aina, and Ally had been there when she made the call, and not more than two minutes later, she was basically dragged to a bed and shown just how much she was really loved. It also helped when she saw the open relief on the face of Aina’s mother when she accepted the invitation to take a room. “And Ally can’t be there all the time,” she continued. “But yeah, I know what you mean.”

“Okay, enough with the flirting!” Larissa announced, cutting into the conversations. “We have a time-table to stay on, right?”

“Oh damn,” Tina swore soflty. “I don’t need to fumble things right off the bat.”

“Stop worrying,” Aina countered easily, already moving towards Tina’s backseat. “I know you want to have things perfect for when mom gets home. But she’s already happy that you’re doing this on such short notice. We’ll behave now, so let’s go.”

“You heard ’em,” Larissa chortled, opening her car door. “Load up ladies!”

Before Krista could even debate on which vehicle to ride in, Janet’s hand pulled her along and towards Larissa’s. Ally cast them a quick grin and then dove to join Aina. They were barely buckled in when Larissa started the car and pulled out with smooth precision. Triela though turned to grin at them.

“No using the backseat for naughty things you two!” the teen warned with great humor.

“You say that every time we ride with you guys,” Janet sighed.

“And I’ll keep saying it, since Krista and Ally were the culprits last time.”

She felt her cheeks heat at that, but she made no sounds of protest and just smiled. Ally had had one of her attacks on the way home from school and without even thinking about it, she’d tried the same method Aina used. Namely, she’d laid Ally down and loved on her until she felt better…and then a little farther past that point. She’d gotten a little carried away and when Triela managed to get her attention, she’d just gotten started rubbing Ally through her pants.

It took less than ten minutes to get to what was now Aina’s old house, where a large box truck was backed up close to the front walk. The side of the truck had a large slogan saying: Sweet Garden Bakery, in swirling script. Janet’s father was just opening up the back when they pulled into the drive. Tina, coming in right behind them, parked in the street. Next to her, Janet sat up straighter at the sight of her father.

“Hey dad!” Janet cried with a happy smile when she slid out her door. “Mom couldn’t get off of work?”

“Nope, sorry kiddo, she got called to help with an ’emergency’ at a wedding,” Scott replied. He smiled in the friendly manner Krista was used to seeing from him. Janet’s dad was incredibly easy-going, but he always showed an interest in his daughter’s life. “It’s good to see you ladies again too.”

The boxes she remembered helping to pack and tape up were stacked all over in an order that made sense only to Aina and her mother. The two of them were very alike in terms of how their logic worked. While they finished packing up the stuff in the master bedroom and kitchen, Scott rolled in a hand-truck to cart out the last few items of furniture. Thankfully, Aina’s mother had purchased brand-new major appliances for the new house, so that her grandmother couldn’t claim the old ones were stolen, or anything else along those lines.

Moving was a task that almost no matter how you did it, it was a chore. The task of carrying, or carting in Scott’s case, boxes and boxes of stuff, would normally have gotten really boring. Mercifully, the individuals involved in this move made sure that nothing was routine. Janet couldn’t help being herself, joking and carousing all the time. Ally in turn was chatting energetically with everybody while her cousins had some contest going with Natalie that made no sense to anyone else. And Aina, of course, helped Tina conduct the organized chaos like a sergeant to a lieutenant.

The two really got along well. Both were organized people, and Aina was perfectly content to accept Tina’s requests and do what she could to facilitate them. Between all of them, they had the cardboard stream flowing smoothly until they finally hit the basement, which they’d saved for last. Instead of hauling everything up the stairs, Triela used her magic to temporarily negate gravity within the stairwell. That way the people at the bottom could float things up to the loaders.

Since it was his work truck, Scott made sure the load was secure using a pair of big braces. He had volunteered his help without any prompting from anyone. Krista thought it was cute how proud Janet had been and still was that her dad had decided to help out the mother of her girlfriend. Once he was sure that everything was good and square, they all loaded back up into the vehicles. All except Aina, who paused alone while she said her silent goodbye to the house in which she’d spent her entire life thus far. When she turned towards Tina’s car, they all saw the red drop of blood slide down from her right eye.

Almost at once, she, Janet and Ally were back out of their respective cars. When she reached her, Aina didn’t resist being pulled into her arms. A second later Ally and Janet were there too. Aina’s tears were terribly hot, and the magic contained in the blood tingled strangely on her skin just above the neck of her shirt, but she ignored it. Aina was normally the strongest one, but even she wanted to be comforted sometimes and she accepted it gratefully. After a long couple of minutes, Aina tilted her face up. Without thinking, she met the kiss. No sexual explosion ignited between her legs this time, but all the same, it was as powerful an experience as always. Then Aina turned and did the same with the others, sharing a deep kiss of thanks.

“That hit me harder than I expected it would,” Aina said finally, back in control, but unashamed of her show of emotion.

Krista couldn’t help smiling back. “Of course it makes you sad. This house represents twelve years of your life and all the memories of them.”

“It’s not like you have to be rational all the time,” Janet shrugged.

“And now you have a brand new house to fill up,” Ally added, her face blushing. “We’re all going to be there from now on, as much as possible.”

“True,” Aina agreed, smiling again. “I’m really looking forward to seeing how all this works out.”

“I just can’t believe your mom invited me to live with you full-time!” she said.

“She’s like me, Krista, you’re family to her now,” Aina laughed. “She’s only accepting the rent payments because you insisted on it so hard. She has always hated thinking about you living alone too. It makes her feel better knowing you are safe with us.”

“Okay, enough of that! You’ve got blood on your face Aina,” Ally huffed and moved purposefully towards Aina. Krista began laughing, and Janet joined a second later as they watched Aina try and fend off Ally who was cheerfully licking Aina’s face clean. She was the only one that could do that and remain unaffected. Then Aina’s eyes flashed purple and settled on Krista with a knowing smile.

“Ally,” Aina said, no longer fighting the girl at all. In fact Aina seemed to be clean already, and Ally was simply taking advantage of the situation. Aina’s smile widened when Ally perked up at the tone of her voice. “I think Krista needs cleaning too. It’s all down inside her shirt.”

“Wait!” she took two steps back at the very eager look Ally was suddenly directing her way. Her heart leapt into a faster beat. “Yes, it’s all down my shirt, but we’re outside!”

“I think that’s easily taken care of,” Janet chuckled, joining in with the others. Janet moved toward her and unexpectedly gave her a gentle shove towards Ally and Aina. “Ally, take her with you in Tina’s car!”

Sighing in amused resignation, she did not resist when Ally’s small hand clasped hers and happily tugged her towards Tina’s car. She also pointedly ignored the smiles and laughter around her. Unfortunately, the others knew her well. She was already getting excited, and they knew this was the reaction she’d have, especially Aina. She knew that out of the four of them, she was the most pervy when it came to what got her excited, and Aina was always happy to ‘treat her’ as she called it. Ally was generally willing to try new things, but she actively thought of things all the time, and was heartily glad she had girlfriends who accepted her.

When Krista was hastily escorted into the car, Tina gave them a roll of her eyes, and then turned forward to drive. Natalie however was watching with fascinated eyes, and thanks to Aina again, that just made her more excited, not less. Aina had developed a bit of a voyeuristic streak, especially now that she had superhuman senses, but was polite enough not mention aloud all that she saw, heard, and felt; but in her case it was different.

Ever since that first time Aina watched her masturbate in her room, she and Aina had done it on several more occasions. For some reason Aina really liked to watch her and she in turn had begun to enjoy being watched by people she trusted. It was also nice that the sex they enjoyed afterwards was always pretty energetic and sensual. The other two knew about it, but generally let the two of them have their fun. Right now she trusted Natalie and Tina not to say anything to anyone outside the family about this. Before she had a chance to even buckle up, Ally was pushing her back against the door and was on the attack.

“Try to keep my clothes on please,” she managed to get out, and then Ally’s tongue was licking up her throat. “Ooh, that feels good!”

“I know,” Ally giggled happily. “I’m not going to get Tina arrested. Aina’s mom would be really upset with me if I did that.”

“Hey! I wouldn’t be happy either,” Natalie piped in.

“Thank you Nat’ for the sisterly support,” Tina laughed. Then she said, “Ally, I don’t mind if you fool around a little bit as long as you don’t get wild, but please try to obey traffic laws too. We don’t need some stranger looking in the window to see you two going at it. Plus, it would be just a tad distracting for me to have pretty naked girls in my car.”

“Oh! Right-o!” Ally replied delightedly, and reached for Krista’ seatbelt. A moment later they were both awkwardly secured. Then Ally was back to work. Knowing she didn’t have the heart or inclination to resist, she sat back and just enjoyed the attention. Ally had most of the blood off quickly, but neither of them felt a need to stop so soon.

Closing her eyes, Krista sighed deeply. Ally’s little tongue lapping at her throat was a wonderful sensation at any time, but after the stress of a school day, it was almost divine. She was tingling with sexual energy, and barely noticed when her bra was undone. Small hands groped her growing breasts eagerly, which made her gasp involuntarily and her eyes popped back open.

Knowing this could go too far very quickly, she cobbled together a semblance of self-control and wrapped her arm around Ally and held her tight to still her. With movement even more restricted than before, Ally was unable to continue her ministrations. In response, Ally pouted prettily. It was a look that tempted her to strip the girl right there, but she admirably restrained herself from doing so.

“I’m just keeping us on the safe side,” Krista told her blonde girlfriend. “You can feel me up all you want, but on the outside of my clothes.”

“How considerate of you,” Natalie quipped from her front seat, still watching.

“I’m fine with it, for now,” Ally said, answering both of them with a wide smile.

“Good!” she nodded. Then she leaned over and gave Ally a long, lingering kiss.

“Can you drive slower, Tina,” Ally asked, visibly flushed.

“No way,” Tina laughed. “You can play all you want later.”

“Poo,” Ally sighed good-naturedly.

“She’s right,” Krista said. “We’ve got a weekend with all four of us together this time. It’s not like we won’t have time tonight.”

“I suppose,” Ally agreed cheerfully. “I guess I just feel overexcited right now, since I can’t show how I really feel about you guys at school. I don’t like hiding it.”

“How is school going?” Tina asked the car in general. “Any weirdness from people yet?”

Krista knew what she was referring to. The responses from the general public, at least in the United States, towards the announcement about the supernatural population fell mostly into a few categories.

The first kind of response was the knee-jerk reactions from bigots of both the idiot and the mindless super-religious zombie varieties. Thankfully these were not in the majority or even close to it. The largest response type came in a wait-and-see reaction. Most people seemed to be waiting to see if anything from this actually affected them in any real way first. The third large response came from those who saw the supernatural peoples as celebrities or fun novelties of some kind.

Catering to the last type were a large number of non-humans and what-not coming forward to ‘tell their story’ and get some time in the public eye. Book deals were already being signed and television shows and sitcoms were being hurriedly written. Talk show hosts invited elves onto their shows, and pundits on both sides of the political idiocy lines were championing various ‘issues’ surrounding supernatural creatures. In her opinion, it was just business as usual with added flavor.

“Nothing weird so far,” Krista said. “People talk about stuff all the time now, but no one has said anything hateful yet. Mostly people just want to see a real supernatural person for the thrill.”

“There are some rumors about Aina though, but nothing serious or accusatory,” Ally added. “She’s like some kind of school myth or legend. But since she never panics or gets excited when people ask her about it, they’re all kind of confused.”

“That’s good,” Tina said, glancing sideways at her sister for a quick second. “I have too many people I care about there, so I want to make sure you are all right.”

“And you wanted to distract those two from their fun,” Natalie smirked at her sister.

“That was a bonus to the topic, yes,” Tina agreed.

Krista smiled at the teasing, and just snuggled close to Ally for the rest of the ride.

“Wow, Ally does good work!” Janet commented as they all unloaded upon arrival at the new house. Another truck was already waiting in the drive. This one Raina had rented, and it contained most of the furniture, Tina’s personal stuff, and her own. The yard looked a lot greener than a normal one at this time of year, and Krista could feel the subtle magic of the fairies at work on it. The hedge that ran the borders of the property was already lush and blocked all sight from outside, and everything was a little quieter, but not in a threatening way. It was soothing.

“Yeah, she most certainly does,” She agreed, feeling pretty good but very aroused from the short car ride. Krista was so close to an orgasm she was half afraid that just walking would set her off. That would be bad, only because her pad was already failing and she didn’t want to walk around in wet jeans. “But she owes me later on.”

“Yay, more fun,” Ally grinned, joining them. The others were already moving towards the trucks.

“You do look like you enjoyed yourself,” Aina remarked with her head cocked in mock innocence when they arrived behind the furniture truck. Tina was already there with the older girls. Scott was the only one not here yet, but that was because he was opening his vehicle up.

“I don’t know if that was very nice of you two,” Krista replied, narrowing her eyes.

“You’re not going to be left hanging for too long,” Aina promised. Aina glided forward towards her until Krista was looking down into her girlfriend’s eyes once again. That gaze smoldered, and her heart started beating faster at the open desire being shared and the usual magic effect. She loved seeing that. “We’ll have time for the exciting stuff later.”

“What she means,” Tina interjected, an amused sigh escaping in a huff, “is that it’s time to get to work again.”

Sighing as well, Krista just smiled and felt the burning feeling of love in her chest. She could certainly wait, as long as these three were at the end of the road.

In an effort to try and look like the responsible adult she was supposed to be, Tina turned away from the cheerful chitchat of the girls to regard the first truck full of furniture and boxes. Knowing those four and her sister too, they could keep it up all day if she let them. Sometimes it was entertaining and sweet, but right now it just contributed to the knot of anxiety growing inside her. Today was really important and she didn’t want to screw it up. She wanted it to be perfect.

She was fully aware that this expectation was unrealistic and at the very least, a silly fantasy. But the desire to show off for Raina was countering her common sense with dangerous force. She wanted Raina to arrive home from her big conference meeting to their new house and find a comforting welcome with all the hard move-in work done. It was a desire she knew was doomed to hit obstacles and inevitable impossibilities. Nonetheless, she wanted to contribute to the family she was being so readily embraced into, and of course, to impress the woman she loved.

A moment of heady amazement often struck her when she realized what was happening in her life. Aside from the sexual sisterly relationship she enjoyed with Natalie, she’d had a few boyfriends and girlfriends during middle and highs school that never got serious. In fact, it was her sister that had taken her virginity, and she’d only had sex with one of her other girlfriends. Yet, when she walked through that door into Janet’s home on the pivotal night of the dinner, she was struck hard by Raina. She’d never really considered an older woman before, but Raina was just so damn beautiful, intelligent, and one of the most warmly kind people she’d ever met. So when she saw her own awe being returned, she’d known in an instant that she had to seize the gift with both hands, even as Raina reached awkwardly toward her at the same time.

She hadn’t exactly planned at all on making love to Raina that very night, but it had seemed like the natural thing to do once they were alone. Jennifer’s manipulation of the sleeping arrangements had certainly helped, but she suspected they would have ended up together anyways. Then, after only a few weeks, their love had done nothing but grow. There was not a single fiber of her body that felt any second thoughts about moving in with Raina and Aina. She knew they would work out; it was not a magical premonition, but she knew it anyways.

Due to their busy schedules they had to wrangle time to go out on dates and stuff when they lived apart. At first they’d traded back and forth on who picked the location or activity. Then, as they grew more comfortable, they began planning them together too. Eventually, they would arrive home at Raina’s house and lose themselves to the passions they’d let build up. Neither of them was passive when it came to lovemaking, so they had some really fun times in that bedroom, and once on the sofa when Aina was out. Just thinking about sharing a bed from now on with Raina made her warm with excitement.

This was why she wanted the move-in to go smoothly and to be as complete as possible when Raina returned home. She wanted to show herself worthy of the woman she’d fallen for and gave so much to her. She would have mused further along this track, but a small, gentle hand was laid against her arm, just above the elbow. Blinking, she realized she’d been woolgathering badly and found Aina regarding her with friendly concern in those pretty hazel eyes.

“You okay?” Aina asked. The young daughter of her girlfriend was dressed casually today in a pair of comfortable-fit jeans, a cute black blouse, and had her usual ponytail clipped back with a little tie. The blouse she recognized as one they had purchased together on their shopping trip together. That had to be intentional, since Aina was all about unsaid signals. It was a good sign.

Tina glanced around and saw the others were just now unlocking the front door of the house to enter it. Natalie and Ally’s cousins had yet to see the inside and were probably eager to see for themselves, what the other girls had been talking about for over a week. Janet and Krista both seemed to be enjoying a chance to show off to their older friends. Looking back down, she smiled appreciatively. “Yeah, I’m good. Thanks for getting my brain back on track though.”

“Anytime,” Aina replied, a small smile turning up her lips. The eyes though, displayed a great deal of amusement to show that she knew the truth. Aina drew closer and entwined her little fingers with Tina’s in a new gesture of familiarity. “I don’t think you need to be so nervous. You’re doing kinda awesome so far.”

Aina was right of course, which made her smile widen as well. The very first and only real concern she’d had upon entering this relationship with Raina, was that her girlfriend already had a half-grown daughter who was not only a vampire, but extremely intelligent and possessed of a strong, independent personality. She’d figured out in those first couple of days that Aina made her own opinions about people and that first impressions were very important. Ally’s aunt was a prime example of what happened when you made a bad impression. Aina respected the woman as her school principal and was never insulting or scornful, but it was obvious that Aina thought a lot less of her in other areas.

She’d asked Raina for tips on getting along with Aina and on befriending her since their close ages would likely preclude any kind of adult, parental authority. Raina had laughed, though not to make fun of her for the questions. The advice had been fairly simple; if she didn’t talk down to the girl and just made the effort of getting to know her, Aina would meet her halfway. More important though, was open communication.

She’d learned both from Raina and from watching Aina, that the most important parts of communicating with the girl was non-verbal. Taking Raina’s advice, she’d learned just how much Aina could convey with just her eyes, or slight facial expressions. During a conversation you could almost see Aina’s mind burning away and responding. She’d spent a goodly part of their first outing together filing away all that she could and was fascinated by how much Aina could say with just a few words, her facial movements, and body language.

Also very important to know, was physical interaction. Different ways of touching could hold an entire conversation without saying a word. With Ally, Aina sometimes said nothing for hours at home and they seemed to understand each other perfectly. Aina liked to touch to convey things to those whom she was close to. It could be as simple as fingertips on the arm for attention, or, in her mother’s case, Aina might want to be held close to feel your body warmth and to smell you. At the moment, she knew Aina was giving her full support and assurance.

The two of them were actually getting to be good friends now that they were more knowledgeable about each other. She’d been as open as possible with Aina, and the girl had responded in kind, perfectly willing to sit on the couch with her and just chat while doing homework or watching TV. In the end, Tina found that she really liked Aina and they’d had a lot of fun on their shopping jaunt. She would never be a step-mother in Aina’s eyes, but their relationship would work better this way. It would make living together in the same house quite pleasant.

“I know I’m being silly,” she said, voicing what they both knew. “But I want to impress your mom. I feel like I need to show her that I deserve to live here with you guys.”

“She’s already impressed,” Aina countered with an arched brow that spoke volumes. “We both are actually. I’m helping you because I happen to like you as my new step-mom and friend. I think between the two of us and the others, we can get a lot done.”

“Isn’t this going to be a lot of work for you?” She asked, gesturing towards the disassembled beds, dressers, and other furniture items. “There’s a lot of stuff in the two trucks.”

Heh, not really,” Aina responded with clear enjoyment. Raising her free hand, a large mug of steaming coffee wafted into being with the handle out toward Tina. Aina smiled with pride at the expression she was making, even as the scent of the brew reached her nose.

“Where did that come from?” she asked, amazed.

“Our coffeemaker,” Aina laughed lightly. “It was a bit of a challenge to move it into the kitchen while absorbing the energy from traveling in the truck, but it was a lot of fun too. The annoying part was the plug. It took me five tries to find the right orientation remotely and without being able to actually see the socket holes. The pot finished brewing just seconds ago.”

“Wow,” she accepted the mug gratefully and sipped a draw of the wonderful beverage. Raina never bought the cheap, freeze-dried stuff. A cup was always relaxing, and Aina made great coffee. It was just her luck that the love of her life had a daughter that could happily feed her favorite vice; caffeine.

“See?” Aina said, visibly pleased at her glad acceptance of the drink. “For me, this little job is going to be enjoyable. It’ll be a bit like going on a pleasant run, or something else physically active that feels good. I’m definitely going to need blood afterwards though; it’s going to take a lot out of me.”

“Can I still be the donor?” she asked. Tina was crazily curious about the experience after having witnessed several of the others doing it. Aina had agreed that she could be next.

“Sure,” this time there was clear delight in Aina’s expression. She was looking forward to it too then.

“Are you that happy to drink my blood?” she asked, amusedly curious.

“It’s not that,” Aina replied with a small headshake. She sidled closer and Tina put her free arm around Aina’s small shoulders, reading the desire for closer contact. “It’s a trust thing. Janet’s mom wanted to try it too once, but freaked at the last second. I was too much of a predator for the fox in her, and couldn’t get past the fangs. I’m just happy that you trust me not to hurt you.”

Tina snorted, but felt warmed by the words and would have blushed if her species did such a thing. She was going to respond with something lightly teasing, but Natalie appeared in the door of the house with a wide grin on her face. “Sis, this house is crazy! It’s so cool and old. But what’s with all the pennies all over the place on the floors?”

“Those are for me,” Aina said, smiling at Natalie’s excitement. “Tina put the coins in places where she wants things. We tried tape first, but it’s a lot harder than a solid object for me to see in my other-sight.”

“Should we get set up now?” Asked Triela. She slipped out around Natalie, who was partially blocking the door, to approach them. Larissa and Ally followed. Janet, her father, and Krista remained inside.

“Yes,” she told them, taking a calming breath to get back into a working frame-of-mind. “You can set up the field now.”

“Alright then,” Larissa nodded. She, Triela and Ally all pulled out their cellphones. Moving out toward the rough center of the front lawn, they stood in a triangle towards each other. Their lips moved as they typed on their phones, but she heard nothing. Aina shivered in her arm, but otherwise just watched calmly. An odd, amorphous distortion took form in the air in the center of the trio.

Quite suddenly, the strange blob exploded outward, forming itself along the perimeter of the property and then rose up into a vaguely cube-like shape. Larissa spoke quietly to the other two; then she nodded in satisfaction and put her phone away. Sound worked again as Triela hugged Ally tightly. “Ally, you were perfect!”

“Is this like the barrier at the play field?” Aina asked, looking around curiously.

“Basically, but stronger and thanks to Ally’s help, specifically keyed to work with you,” Larissa explained. “She’s the one that added the calculations for your vampiric power. It was some very elegant work she put together.”

Ally looked very pleased by the praise, but it was Aina’s impressed expression that clearly stood as the greatest compliment. Tina didn’t know very much about magecraft, but almost all mages were mathematical geniuses and they could often appreciate an equation as some people might a poem. For Ally, this was like playing well at a piano recital, and in front of her loved ones no less.

“Do you mind if I go brag to the others too?” Ally asked Aina, her face flushed and happy.

“Better do it fast, I’ll be starting here in a minute,” Aina responded jovially. “You’ll have to explain it to us later so we can understand how awesome you just were.”

Ally grinned at them and then took off back inside the large house, barely avoiding her cousins at the door. The sounds of the others clunking around could be heard, but otherwise, Tina was now alone with Aina again. Her arm was still around the girl and as she sipped at her coffee, the moment of silence felt naturally comfortable. One day, she hoped that she and Raina would have at least one daughter together and she could hold her close like this, but for now she was grateful for the family she was joining and for this particular girl upon whom she could rely.

“You know,” she began softly, “I never did thank you.”

“What did I do?” Aina asked, turning her face up to look at her.

“First, if Krista hadn’t been invited to that dinner at Janet’s, I would never have met your mom like I did.”

“There was more than just me involved in that,” Aina laughed with a small smile.

“Shush and let me finish,” she laughed back, giving Aina a soft squeeze with her arm. “I’m also grateful that you’ve let me become a part of all this, and for letting me get to know you better. I value our friendship quite a bit.”

“I let you?” Aina asked, and this time the smile was devilish. “I happen to just play the role of daughter. You, and definitely not I, went and got mom to fall in love with you, and she’s happier than ever, so why should I mind? Also, and more simply, I like you. As a bonus I’ll get to see the funny looks on people when I tell them you’re my step-mom.”

“Hmph,” she grunted in an aborted laugh. “If they see you, your mom and me all together, people will probably assume I’m your older sister or something.”

“Which is why it’ll be funny when my mom does introduce you as her girlfriend,” Aina responded cheerfully.

“We’ll see,” she chuckled, “at least living here won’t be boring with everybody around.”

“Exactly!” Aina said, turning in her arm a little to face her more directly. “You ready for me to get started? Everyone else is in place inside the house.”

“Go right ahead,” Tina agreed.

Separating and taking a few steps out into the lawn like Ally and her cousins had, Aina stood facing her. Slowly, Aina closed her eyes and tilted her head back slightly. Then, Aina visibly relaxed. Wisps of shadow flowed out of her like billows of smoke. It steamed out and rapidly began filling the inside of the barrier. And then, as Aina opened her eyes once again, darkness rushed outward and engulfed everything.

From inside the house rose shouts of surprise, but Tina had the front row seat. The raw magical power rushed over and through her body. Her skin tingled, her hair stood on end, and a heady feeling of arousal boiled in her blood like a sexual fire. Yet around her, all was plunged into nocturnal gloom. Outside of the barrier she could see the afternoon sunlight, but inside, it was like midnight on a cloudless night, complete with stars glittering in the ‘sky’ directly overhead.

Aina’s body had also changed subtly. She stood in a regal, confidant pose with ears that had taken on the tiniest of points, giving her face a degree of elfin elegance. Eyes, glowing bright with violet light that blazed and flickered with life-force and magic, made Tina feel like they could see everything. Her skin was only a tad lighter than before, but not pale. When Aina smiled at her, she revealed that her fangs were fully extended, showing the girl’s place at the top of the food chain. In all, Aina was startlingly pretty and predatory at the same time, like a vampire princess.

“Remember, part of the attraction you’re feeling towards me right now is magical,” Aina said, obviously reading her expressions and her bodily reactions. “I’m not damping anything right now.” No doubt the young vampire could easily smell her terribly aroused sex. She was used to feeling Aina’s effects, but this was so much stronger. A certain part of her was aching badly for attention.

“I know, but I still think you look great, and you’re still adorable,” Tina said. She pulled out her cell phone out of curiosity and just as Aina had predicted, all electronics were dead and useless while inside this dark space. She heard a rumbling growl behind her and turned to see two enormous cats wafting in out of nowhere. She remembered these felines, and from the way they looked at her with too-intelligent eyes, they remembered her too.

“Hey!” Aina said with a laugh. She held out a hand and the oversized panther-like cats approached with eager haste. “It’s good to see you two again.”

A rumbling purr a like small diesel engine erupted from both the cats when they received scratches and petting from Aina. “What are they?” she asked.

“No idea,” Aina responded without concern. “But I think they live in the shadow world. They like me though, and they can understand what I say.” Having gotten what they wanted apparently, both cats sauntered off and slowly faded from sight, like smoky forms vanishing in a gentle breeze. Aina walked to the back of the furniture truck and before Tina could offer to extend and lower the hydraulic ramp, which wouldn’t have worked anyway, she easily hopped up into the back as if gravity was only a trivial concern.

“Now that is cheating,” Tina mumbled, clambering up the hard way after setting aside her now empty mug. When she was once again standing with Aina, they both observed the load of stuff. Close to the door were her own things, as well as Krista’s.

“This shouldn’t actually take too long,” Aina said, smiling wide. Tina thought she looked more relaxed and at ease than usual. When she voiced the observation Aina nodded. “Yeah, I feel really good right now. I’m ready to have my fun!”

“Okay, but make sure you say something if you get too tired,” she said firmly.

“Sure, sure,” Aina agreed easily, which kind of made Tina a little suspicious of such a blithe response. Aina though, just smiled warmly at her. “You’ve only just started living with us and you’re already taking care of me!”

“Is that bad?” she asked seriously, all too conscious of how new this family was to her.

“Heh, its fine, I like it,” Aina responded, stepping up and hugging her in a loose embrace for just a moment. “You fit right in this way. Mom and I take care of each other all the time, so it’s cool if you do it too.”

Aina took a better look over the stuff in the truck in an assessing manner. Odd tendrils of dark, shadowy not-fog was appearing, touching and then disappearing. “What is this?” Aina asked curiously, pointing at a box against one side that was wrapped in festive paper. It was just about the size of two shoe boxes side-by-side.

“Oh, that. It’s an early birthday present for Krista that I thought would be more appropriate to give her today instead of next week,” she explained, firmly stomping on her urge to grin. Krista would be shocked at the gift, but joyful too since it was something they’d discussed in private at some length. “Move that into your room last, and hide it until later when you girls are alone.”

“I can do that,” Aina nodded, obviously curious now at what the box contained, but also not peaking with her magic either. Clearly Aina did not want to spoil the surprise in any way. “Well, I’m going to get started.”

“Go ahead.”

Aina turned to face directly into the back of the truck and raised her hands like a conductor in front of an orchestra. Everything in the truck suddenly wavered in a shadowy murk. Flicking a finger, as if accenting a note, a bed frame vanished. Tina knew it would appear in the cozy bedroom that was being given to Krista. A bed box and matching mattress disappeared almost together. A small smile hung on Aina’s face, and Tina realized the girl was humming softly.

“It looks like you have this in hand, so I’ll just head inside and take charge of the crew,” Tina said, giving an affectionate touch to Aina’s back.

She knew immediately that she done it right, because Aina gave her a warm, thankful smile in return and said, “Go ahead, Tina. I’m enjoying this.”

Leaving Aina to her task of transporting everything into the appropriate rooms of the house as items were needed, she went inside herself. Voices from Krista’s room in the far back of the bottom floor confirmed that several girls were there putting the bed together and getting Krista’s stuff squared away. Ascending the grand staircase, she turned left and headed straight to the master bedroom, where she and Raina would be sleeping together from now on.

Triela was already there waiting patiently and the younger teen raised her hand in a friendly greeting. “Sounds like we’re getting started.”

“Yep,” Tina responded, just as the components of Raina’s large king-sized bed began appearing atop the small coins she and Aina had arranged over the past few days during their planning. The guides let Aina move in the large furniture items without dragging them all through the huge house and near where they would go. The bed was first simply because it had to be put together. “And we won’t be done until Aina stops sending us stuff.”

“Don’t say that!” Triela joked with a laugh, even as they both moved to assemble the bedframe so they could mount the rest on top. “She might start sending random stuff all night long if she knows she can just keep having fun out there. Aina has that wicked sense of humor of hers, and I’ve seen a lot of it.”

That was pretty much how the afternoon went. She spent most of it in the master bedroom making sure everything was ready for when Raina got home, but it was a relief to have that done and then move on. Room after room they worked, taking the items and boxes Aina sent from the truck. Thankfully, her planning proved effective and things progressed far more rapidly and more smoothly than it would have the hard way of carrying everything. No time was wasted on trips back and forth to the trucks.

She checked in on Aina when she could, but the girl remained in high spirits. Each time she found Aina humming and bopping her head as she manipulated streams of shadowy magic in odd patterns around herself. Aina had never come close to stretching the limits of her abilities before and it seemed she was taking this chance to do some experimenting as she worked. She had no idea what exactly Aina was doing, but it seemed the girl was enjoying herself immensely.

Aina also insisted each time that she was fine, and promptly shooed her back into the house to continue working and directing the others. Everyone accepted that she was in charge without any problems, even Scott who was way older than she by several decades. He seemed amused most of the time and joked a lot with the girls with entertaining stories from his job. When she put him in charge of the kitchen, since he was a baker after all, he just grinned and had at it with gusto. When he was done, everything was as perfect as she could have hoped.

Occasionally she had to reign in the rambunctiousness that occurred from multiple parties. Larissa and her sister really should have known better, and Nat’ too, but they were having far too much fun with their younger friends to worry about pride. Being older, they were teaching the younger girls things they probably didn’t need to know, things Tina couldn’t precisely find fault with. Thankfully the worst she had to stop was Natalie and Janet playing around with a couple of long forgotten bottles of bubble blowing mix they’d found in a box of random junk.

It was just past 6PM when Aina finally strode through the front door, announcing that their work was at an end. For the first time since Tina had met her, Aina actually looked tired, as if she’d spent the whole day doing hard labor. Aina waved off their concerns and just smiled contentedly. In honor of their toil and sweat, Scott volunteered to go and buy some take-out Chinese food, which was apparently a favorite of the girls. Aina dimmed her power so he could order, but didn’t retract her fangs.

When they sat down to eat at the big dining table, with everyone greedily pilling up their plates to replace all the calories they’d expended, she noticed that Aina had quietly disappeared. She felt a moment of concern, but then realized that Aina was probably just resting while they ate food that she could no longer consume. As she slurped down a rogue lo mein noodle, she thought about her relationship with the girl. Aina was family now and her responsibility too.

The food felt heavy in her stomach when she finally headed around to the first floor family room, but she was totally satisfied. She’d made sure to set aside a large plate in their new refrigerator for Raina because she was sure to be hungry when she got home. Scott had corralled the girls into cleaning up the move-in debris, which left Tina feeling tired and wanting her lover to hold onto.

Even with everything from the old house, her own stuff, and Krista’s, moved into the new place, she realized that it still felt huge, empty and incomplete somehow. It would be up to her, Raina, and the rest of their ‘family’ to make the house feel more like a real home. That would take time, but eventually their personal touches would be applied and it would look lived-in and loved. With a wry thought, she remembered that would have to include entirely new furniture for the vast upstairs great room since they had nothing at present to put in it. It currently looked like a vacant ballroom.

She sat on the large sofa in the living room and laid her head back, trying to loosen the muscles of her back that had done so much unfamiliar work today. Raina’s sofa had been a favorite of hers ever since she first experienced it. It was incredibly comfortable and she could easily fall asleep on it in moments. After an indeterminable amount of time, but probably less than half an hour, Krista came gliding in. The sound of her soft footsteps brought her back out of her restful reverie.

“You look tired,” Krista commented gently, sitting herself down next to Tina in her graceful way. As usual, Krista had a glowing beauty that defied the labor she’d done today.

“Yeah, but we got it all done in time,” she replied with a proud smile to her old friend. “Where’s the rest of the mob?”

“Oh, Janet took her game system stuff upstairs so you wouldn’t be bothered,” Krista laughed. “They’re all watching and playing games up there, except Janet’s dad who is leaving in a minute to return the truck.”

“Did Larissa and the others get their sleeping stuff and clothes out of my trunk?”

“No. But I told them they could just crash on my bed tonight anyways. I’m not going to need it.”

“What about Aina, is she up there with the others too?”

“No, but I heard her messing around in her new room,” Krista smiled affectionately at this. “She’s finicky about the little details. It’ll take her weeks to settle on how she really wants it. I think she’s moved her bed a dozen times already.”

“Good, I was hoping she was okay because she looked so exhausted,” Tina sighed.

“She’s very happy though,” Krista countered. “She likes you a lot, and I think she really enjoys doing stuff with you like this. You’re someone she looks up to and respects.”

“I don’t know if I’m old enough to cut it as a role model,” she disagreed automatically.

“Aina doesn’t care about that age thing at all,” Krista said with a shake of her pretty head. Then she paused and turned toward the door in time for Aina herself to come through the doorway. Aina’s way of walking made Krista’s of a moment ago look clumsy, and that predatory poise sometimes made her a little jealous.

Aina’s hair was hanging loose and damp, and she had changed her clothes. She was now wearing a cami-style white top that was either naturally thin or threadbare enough that it didn’t hide much of her young, feminine attribute. For her bottoms she had on a pair of loose, pastel-blue cotton pj’s. With her petite body, Aina looked adorable and from her pleased expression, she was aware of the effect.

“You look great in that Aina!” Krista said immediately. Tina watched her young friend of old stand to give her girlfriend a soft kiss, and she smiled at the obvious love between the girls. “You aren’t going to join in the games upstairs?”

“Not tonight I think,” Aina answered, letting go of Krista with a warm smile. “Go have fun. I’m going to eat and then rest for a little while.”

After Krista left eagerly to join the others, Tina was once again alone with the daughter of her girlfriend. Her heart did a little flutter at the realization that Aina was going to drink her blood soon, just as she’d asked. Aina approached and surprised her by lithely straddling her lap and sitting down that way. In response, all she thought to do was to reach her arms around the girl and hold her. Aina wasn’t heavy at all and actually felt a little hot to the touch. She also discovered the pajama bottoms were high-thread-count cotton that was silky smooth against her skin and there was nothing underneath. All of Aina’s charms were right there.

“Relax, I’m not trying to seduce you or anything like that,” Aina laughed joyously at her stunned facial expression.

“Well, you climbed into my lap while going commando,” she replied, unable to help the smile on her own lips. She was also calmed by the words. As tempting as Aina was, she wanted only Raina. “I don’t need much of an imagination with that get-up. It is a pretty cute look on you though.”

“I know!” Aina smiled wide, obviously very pleased that Tina had noticed. “These used to be Janet’s, but she outgrew them. Sometimes there’s a benefit to being small; especially since I’m not going to be getting any bigger.”

“I think you look good like this,” Tina said.

Aina nodded and leaned back a little in her arms to regard her thoughtfully. “The thing is, no matter what I do, I will always look like I do now. Even when everyone around me ages, I’ll still look like a little girl; being petite for my age won’t help matters. So, after a few interesting conversations with Krista and Ally—,”

“Not with Janet?” she interrupted, surprised.

“Oh, Janet gave her input too, but she’s much more practical about such things,” Aina laughed, but with great affection in her expression and voice. “I love her like crazy, but she has her own areas of interest. Ally and Krista share an enjoyment for nice clothes and other feminine things, so they were the ones who had the better suggestions. But what I decided was this: if I am going to look like this forever, I should come up with ways to use and accent it. It’s all I’m going to have to work with so I may as well start learning now.”

“Use it?”

“Yep!” Aina’s smile was as if she’d been clever somehow. “Even though I haven’t really cared too much up until now about my looks, I’m going to start dressing better and paying more attention to the finer bits of grooming. Krista even thinks that when I’m legally older, meaning an adult, I should find companies willing to custom tailor more mature clothing styles in my size. Sometime it makes me laugh when I think of wearing a business suit like my mom’s on my much smaller body. But I think I could pull it off.”

“I’m surprised you’re already thinking that far ahead!” Tina replied, impressed. She pictured Aina in a twelve-year-old sized suit and agreed silently that the image was amusing. Aina would look great though, in a sexy black dress; cliché maybe, but great.

“Well, I have a lot more thinking time than when I was human,” Aina explained. “When I sleep I’m in a kind of trance state, but I’m still thinking and without any distractions from my body. An almost separate part of my mind monitors what goes on around me. I think about all sorts of things, and it’s very relaxing at the same time. When I come out, I feel rested and rejuvenated.”

“Okay,” she said, feeling a bit warmed inside that Aina was so willing to hold an intimate conversation about herself like this with her. It showed a trust she hadn’t expected to earn so quickly. “That doesn’t explain why you climbed into my lap like this. As nice as your bottom is, I don’t really need to know what it feels like.”

“There are two reasons actually,” Aina said, smirking with amusement. “First, I sat like this because I’m too tired to climb all over and around the sofa right now to drink your blood. I used a lot of magic earlier and it left me pretty drained. And second, I wanted to tease you a little. I’ve grown to like you, and I wanted to have some fun. Mom says I have an odd sense of humor, and that I didn’t get it from her, but it keeps me entertained.”

“So I can see, and your mom did warn me about that,” Tina laughed, enjoying herself immensely. “She also said to keep an eye on all you girls because god only knows what you’ll get up to. I have a feeling it’s only going to get more interesting from here.”

“Oh, I’m sure of that!” Aina agreed firmly, and then her smile softened a little. “Do you mind if I feed from you like this? I won’t do anything else weird.”

Tina thought about it for a second, “no, I don’t mind,” she said, breathing deep to relax her nerves. Aina smelled clean, of scented soap and shampoo. That sparked a twinkle of curiosity. “Did you need to shower?”

“The running water is soothing, even if I can’t feel the hot or cold,” Aina said. “I needed the mental break more than anything else. I don’t sweat, but I still feel dirty after being active for a while and accumulate grime like anyone else.”

“Well, I’m ready whenever you are.”

Aina nodded, and slowly leaned in towards her, gently nuzzling her face near Tina’s throat. Tina lifted her chin to allow better access and then shivered at the sensation of a tongue bathing her neck with short strokes. Raina had warned her about it, but the effect of Aina’s saliva was impressive. Her whole body felt alive, sensitive and excited, and the tiny pinprick of fangs biting into her was shoved into the background. Aina held her like that, in an intimate and soothing embrace, for a couple of long minutes. She was held in a state almost like a strong orgasm, but relaxing. She came out of it when Aina was licking again to heal the tiny punctures she’d made. Still aroused but oddly tranquil, she just sat there and enjoyed the feeling.

“Wow, that was something else,” she said eventually, still unconsciously holding Aina comfortably close. Aina made no move to change the positioning either. When Tina finally glanced at her, Aina looked happily content with a small smile and that odd glimmer of light in her eyes. Her skin was also pinker than before and her fangs were still extended.

“I think I want to take a nap now,” Aina said, actually sounding sleepy for the first time in Tina’s memory. “Can I stay here with you while I do? I really don’t like to sleep alone anymore. It’s too lonely that way.”

“Sure,” Tina answered immediately. “I’ll just watch some TV for a while, so feel free to sleep as long as you need to.”

“Thank you,” Aina said softly, slipping off of Tina’s lap on the right side, where she snuggled in close. Tina used the remote to turn on a show, some kind of comedy, and after turning the volume way down, she wrapped her arm around Aina who was already closing her eyes to sleep. That made Tina smile, because, for all the power Aina possessed, she was still a young girl at heart.

After an hour or so, her own weariness caught up with her, as well as the comfortable feeling of being curled up on the sofa up with someone she was coming to care for. Her eyes drooped heavily and eventually she too fell asleep, waking briefly when her sister came by and set a warm blanket over them both. Natalie left the room, and she was out again. She slept until something moved against her and disturbed her slumber. She awoke to Aina giving her an affectionate kiss on the cheek, before slinking out the back of the room to the small side stairs.

She was confused at first as to why Aina had suddenly gone and left her alone, and by that particular route. Then she heard a sound that made her heart suddenly beat faster. The solidly built front door was shut by someone, followed by the click-thunk of the locks. It made sense now. Raina was finally home. All semblance of sleep fled her body in a rush.

She attempted to disentangle herself from the blanket, but by the time she got free and stood, she heard the cadence of a familiar bare-footed stride coming closer. A moment later, Raina peeked in with a curious expression on her face. As soon as Tina saw the raw joy and pride bloom on Raina’s face, Tina knew her efforts had paid off. Raina looked so beautiful as always, but at the moment she looked radiant. Excitement and elation flooded through her body in response.

“Tina!” Raina said, moving towards her. The suit jacket had already been taken off, but she still looked like the image of a sexy business woman. “Why are you all alone in here?”

They met and Tina was kissed quite intensely, and both their arms held the other with great need. At being given what she had desired all day, she gave herself fully to the passionate greeting, reveling in the feel of Raina’s soft lips and heated breath. It would normally have been awkward, kissing Raina in her business suit, but at the moment neither of them cared at all. When they separated, Raina’s eyes held a vibrant intensity, as if she was withholding a great secret that needed telling. They also made her feel gloriously naked despite being fully clothed.

“I wasn’t alone,” she found herself saying when her brain kicked back into gear. “Until just a minute ago, Aina and I were taking a nap together. She scooted off when you came home.”

Raina looked over at the blanket on the sofa and her smile widened. “I see the day worked out well for the two of you. The house looks great and amazingly organized. You really got it all done?”

“Yep!” she answered, proud that she had done just as she’d promised. “All the grunt work is finished. Now it’s just all the little details of making the place feel like our home!”

“I see. ‘Our’ home is it?” Raina said in a teasing tone that was so much like her daughter’s, despite how much Raina denied it.

“Yes,” she said, feeling the rightness of it. This was her home now, and the people in it were her family and friends. The next chapter of her life would be written from here. “Now what has you burning up inside? It looks like you are a hair away from jumping up and down or something. You’ve got a secret that you need to tell me!”

“Not really a secret, but it is very good news,” Raina confirmed, not hiding her wide smile. “But, since I smell the faint scent of Chinese food, can I tell you while I eat? I haven’t had anything except a cheap sandwich at lunch.”

“Sure, as long as you tell me what is going on.”

After microwaving Raina’s food, they sat down at the smaller table they’d put in the kitchen. It was the same one that had been in the old house. They heard raucous laughing from upstairs, and they both smiled at knowing the girls were all having fun. It made the house feel cheery and welcoming. To tease her some more, Raina ate silently until she could stand it no more.

“Oh come on Raina, tell me already!” she huffed, playing into her lover’s game. “You know you want to.”

Raina smiled devilishly for a moment, and then set down her fork. “Well, when I took my extended leave to help Aina with her vampire stuff, I expected my bosses to be annoyed with me. Which was why I was so surprised they suddenly picked me to head the meeting with such an important possible client as soon as I got back. Turns out my superiors set me up.”

“That’s a good thing?!” Tina said, not knowing how she should feel about that.

“Not that kind of set-up,” Raina chuckled, brushing her hair back in the way that always drew Tina’s eye. She loved Raina’s dark hair and the feel of it on her fingers. She’d learned that Raina loved a stimulating scalp massage, and she sometimes instigated their lovemaking with one. “The meeting and all the negotiations up to it were a test for me. Once the meeting was done and the contract was signed, with the approval of both sides’ lawyers, I was handed something by my company president.”

Raina went into the foyer for just a moment, and then came back with an embossed leather folder. Her company’s logo was on the face in gold gilding. The corners were capped with shiny metal and a finely crafted clasp, also of metal, held it shut. Raina opened it and turned the contents toward her. Tina leaned in to look close at the single document held by corner pockets on the left side under a protective laminate cover. It looked very official and important with the company letterhead at the top.

She scanned the words, a profusion of corporate legalese and aggrandizement, but eventually the meat of it penetrated her brain. “Is this…”

“Yep!” Raina said, with a very proud smile. “I got promoted!

“Promoted!” she parroted in surprise. “But this is a bit more than that!”

According to that sheet and no doubt explained further in the larger stack held on the right side pocket, Raina had been raised to junior partner status. “Did you know you were even being considered?”

“Not at all!” Raina laughed, digging back into her food. “According to my bosses, they’ve been scouting me for six months, and used my time off to arrange this meeting with a client they really wanted to pick up. When I convinced them to sign with us, they made their decision as well. Starting next week, I get my own office with a secretary and everything! I’ll have a staff!”

“You’ll be busier?”

“Hmm, maybe, but I’ll get to do a lot more interesting work and learn the operations of the company. They think I’m wasted as just another senior accountant, and want me to work more with the client relations group. That means I’ll get to take you to more fancy dinners!”

“Me?” Tina said in surprise. Despite her family’s wealth, she had never really gone to any of the high-class stuff. She also realized that even as she was trying to show how much she could contribute because of her younger age, Raina wanted to show she could take care of her. They were both being silly as hell, but she loved it.

“Of course!” Raina smiled across the table, wiping a bit of sauce from the corner of her mouth. “Who else would I take with me but the woman I love? They already know I’m with another woman, and they don’t care. I told you before. I would like you to be involved in and a part of my life.”

“Then I’d love to,” Tina agreed happily. Seeing that Raina’s plate was empty now, she decided to give into her simmering desires. She was already alone with her, but she wanted more and this was not the place just now. It wouldn’t do for any of the girls to walk in on them making love on the table. Aina wouldn’t be shocked or surprised, but the others were another matter and Raina had never struck her as an exhibitionist.

Raina picked up on her unvoiced intentions and gazed meaningfully at her for a long moment. Then she glanced down at her plate in acknowledgment that she was done and smiled wider. “I think I can be selfish for once and leave the clean-up to someone else. Show me what you’ve done with our house!”

Obliging quickly, Tina stood and they walked together, intimately close, through the house, sometimes stopping to kiss and touch when the need took them. The biggest compliment that Raina gave was her complete lack of surprise at how much had been accomplished in one long afternoon. She did say something nice about specific things, like how cozy Krista’s little bedroom looked with all its stuffed animals, but she was clearly just happy that the house looked great and that Tina had done it. This of course brought to mind Aina’s comments about how silly her worries had been, and that made her smile anew as they ascended to the second floor.

“What is that smile for?” Raina inquired, still wonderfully at her side.

“Well,” Tina decided to just go with complete honesty, “I was worried that I would disappoint you somehow. Then Aina reminded me that was ridiculous. She was right.”

“She is pretty smart sometimes,” Raina chuckled, taking her arm to pull her closer when they reach the landing. The contact made her blood fizzle with sexual energy. “I’m happy to have a home of my own with you in it with me. I trust you completely, so you don’t have to try and impress me.” Tina tried to speak, but Raina kissed her lips gently to stop her, and then continued. “I say this because you already amaze me on a daily basis. I want this family to grow with you, not in any way less than me, regardless of our ages. You are my partner, as well as my lover.”

Tina was glad that her species did not blush as humans did because her cheeks would have been flushed indeed. To cover her embarrassment and return at least a modicum of the feeling Raina was sharing with her, she pulled Raina to her and they kissed again. It was a long and sweet embrace, only broken when a soft, polite cough sounded from the direction where they could already hear the loud raucous laughter and chatter of many girls having a good time.

When they turned, Aina stood in the wide doorway to the large great room that ran the back side of the house, leaning against the jam. Her knowing, fanged smile played across her small lips. Aina was still in the same set of pj’s and Tina had to once again ignore the enticing, girlish figure on display and she knew that Aina was teasing her like before. She made a note to find a way to return the favor soon. It might be a fun game to have between them.

“So this is where you snuck off to, honey,” Raina said to her daughter, without letting Tina go. “I hear things are going well.”

“They are,” Aina replied calmly. “Tina’s been fun to hang out with.”

Raina raised an eyebrow at Aina, and the girl’s smile only widened slightly. With a sigh that was more than a little amused sounding, Raina shook her head in resignation. “Don’t be too hard on her, please?”

“Why would I do that?” Aina replied, looking at Tina directly now. She saw real affection in the gaze. “I happened to like having her for a friend, like I told you Mom. I tease because I care.”

“I know you do,” Tina said, speaking for herself. “I don’t mind the teasing, Raina. If Aina and I are going to be friends, I want to be able to have fun with her. I enjoy it too.”

Aina looked pleased, but turned to her mother. “Mom, I know I interrupted you, but I wanted to ask if you want a little extra privacy, since we have so many guests tonight.”

“Extra privacy?” Tina asked, feeling a little embarrassed that Aina knew exactly what they were going to do; not that it would have taken a genius to figure it out.

“You’ll shield the room?” Riana asked instead, before Aina could respond to her own question.

“Yep,” Aina said, and an odd ripple of shadow ran down the hallway towards their bedroom and the door flickered darkly for just a moment. “Just like that.”

Raina seemed about to thank Aina, when someone else came barging out of the doorway. “Aina! Come back and play some more!” Janet crowed, flinging herself around Aina in a wild hug. Then she turned and saw her and Raina standing there together and her cheeks pinked, but she did not let go. Tina also noticed that Janet’s four fluffy tails were out and waving with excitement. “Hey Ms. D, Tina! We missed you.”

“Good evening to you too Janet,” Raina chuckled in appreciation. “Why don’t take my daughter back where she belongs.”

“Right away!” Janet agreed immediately with a broad grin. Aina gave them one last parting smile before she let herself be dragged back to her friends and loved ones.

Raina turned to her then with, “I believe we have one more stop?”

Tina wanted to run the length of the hall, but forced herself to walk calmly. When they passed the door to the great room, they saw all the girls sprawled around the carpet near a lonely TV and the game system that was wired to it. Neither of them felt any inclination to intrude upon the fun that was being had.

A moment later they entered the large, silent bedroom, sealed away from the noise of the girls, but not from the sounds coming from outdoors. Now that they were truly alone together, Tina quickly began removing the remainder of Raina’s suit, all the while giving her passions full reign. It’s hard to kiss someone and remove their clothes at the same time, but they managed it pretty well. By the time they got to the large bed, which she had placed so that silver moonlight from the windows would play over the lower half, she was down to her underwear and Raina was clad only in a pair of lacy black panties and a matching bra that cupped her wonderful breasts that were quite nice on her.

“Do you like them?” Raina asked, running her hand over her hips and back along the dark material towards her butt. She turned slightly to show off her more developed figure. Tina’s eyes followed the movement of the hand, realizing that Raina had worn these especially for her. She had long had a love for sexy underwear, and she had been embarrassed at first to admit that to Raina, but here her love was, trying to please her. It made her so wet and her blood was on fire to touch such a beautiful woman.

The black lace looked delicious on her in the twilight gloom. Raina’s mature, womanly beauty was accented in way she hadn’t seen before, but enjoyed immensely. The half-lighting of the room made a contrast of Raina’s dark hair and smooth, pale skin. The enticingly round forms of her breasts were cast in shadow, with a glimmer of moonlight catching just enough to show off her aroused nipples through the lace of the bra. She stood, with her legs slightly apart, waiting and watching her with those deep brown eyes. It was a sight that made her want to fall to her knees and thank whatever deity was in charge of things.

“I love it,” she said softly, feeling a little underdressed in plain cotton panties and the sports bra she’d worn to work in today. She looked good, but not take-me-to-bed-now good. “I love you so much!”

“Aina helped me pick this out, but not even she has seen me wear them,” Raina smiled, approaching her again. Her gaze promised so much. “I like doing special things for you Tina, and seeing that lusty look in your eyes for me. Can you please show me the real you now? I want to see my sexy Tina too.”

Tina did so immediately, shrugging off the false human semblance she wore without hesitation. By the time she was in Raina’s arms again, she was in her true form. Raina’s lips found hers once more, and the last of her clothes were removed. Whichever form she was in, Raina was excited by her, and she loved that she could be her real self with the woman she loved. Wanting to see all of Raina now, she slowly removed the black bra.

“I probably smell like sweat,” she said in warning, even though her species did not perspire as much as humans did. Their long ears doubled as heat radiators.

“You smell wonderful,” Raina countered, with desire lacing her voice.

Needing more, Tina gently pushed Raina towards the bed. She sat readily and Tina knelt quickly to take advantage. Lifting a leg, she ran her long tongue along and up the calf muscle, and found the place behind the knee that always drew a nice reaction. Raina hissed with pleasure, and arched backwards, thrusting her breasts out and up into the moonlight again. They were very tempting, but Tina stayed her course, she would have them later.

She had learned my of Raina’s sensitive places, so she licked in a tickling fashion at the inside of Raina’s leg, enjoying the sigh it caused. Her lover’s thighs were still firm and she always enjoyed the feel of them under her hands. Her tongue though went higher, until she placed a teasing kiss on the crotch of Raina’s pretty black panties. They were soaked in Raina’s fluids, and smelled wonderfully strong of arousal. She had truly grown to enjoy that smell, and the taste if her love.

“You didn’t wear a pad?” she asked in wonder, tracing the other leg with a finger.

“Mmm,” Raina moaned, clearly wanting her to keep on going. She looked down at her with heated eyes. “It wasn’t exactly working with the look, so I took it off in the car. It was ruined already anyway. I know you like me this way.”

“I’d better see for myself,” Tina smiled back, slipping fingers along the sides of the undergarment. Raina raised her hip and eased the removal. For Tina, this moment was always like opening a greatly anticipated birthday present. The expectation built as the black material was drawn down, and her heart automatically beat faster when the wet, engorged folds of Raina’s aroused labia were revealed. The knowledge that all of this was for her, always made her happy.

Not wanting to waste a second, she leaned forward, lifting Raina’s thighs out and upward. They locked eyes as she delved deep and liquid arousal ran down her chin and chest. She felt the vaginal muscles squeeze her tongue and Raina cried out, giving her enjoyment voice. When they were together, neither of them was shy about showing that they liked what was being done to them. Right now, Tina was happy, and she focused on sharing her pleasure.

Raina fell back more fully against the bed, and writhed unashamedly. When she was close to the breaking point, Tina slid two fingers into her lover. She bucked and wriggled, but Tina kept on with slow and steady penetrations until with a great cry and an outpouring of juices that she gladly drank down and let spill over her, Raina’s first orgasm was released. She kept on until a second, stronger climax followed.

Only then did she climb onto the bed, to lay herself down against her panting lover. She was unsurprised when she felt fingers entering her own wet lips and Raina kissed her hard, uncaring of her wet face. When she pulled back, Tina saw the warm smile on her Raina, and matched it. She knew Raina was the right choice. Being with her like this always felt so right, and being a part of this family gave her more joy than she’d ever expected to receive. Then Raina’s expression changed to a sly one she had seen only hours before on her daughter.

“How did it go with Aina drinking your blood?” Raina asked with amusement, not stopping the quick thrusting of her fingers into Tina.

“Not too badly,” Tina admitted, feeling a quiver in her pussy as she humped in a matching rhythm. “Though, I never expected it to feel almost like an orgasm. It didn’t help with Aina dressed as she was. I probably shouldn’t have noticed as much as I did.”

“Don’t worry about that,” Raina chuckled, leaning in to give one of Tina’s perky nipples a soft nibble. Raina always loved doing that. “It doesn’t bother me that you enjoyed it. How could I feel jealous when I myself have sex with her? Aina was just having her bit of fun with you. She doesn’t care if you look.”

“I’d much rather be where I am now anyways,” Tina grinned. There was a distinct slurping coming from between her legs. Raina’s attentions were working their wonders. “That girl has one sexy mother, and she is mine.”

“Ooh, a very good reply,” Raina said back with a laugh of delighted pleasure. She rolled over and put Tina onto her back. “Now I think I need to show some appreciation, and I’ve wanted you all day.”

In honor of christening their new bedroom, they made love for hours. They would stop to talk about things in soft tones to recuperate, only to leap back into passionate sex once they had caught their breath. It was only exhaustion, and the first glinting of sunlight that finally called them to sleep. Only just before slumber took her, Tina remembered something important; Raina had called the two of them partners. She slept peacefully then, in the arms of the woman she never wanted to leave.

---

“You know, we can get safely to Krista’s room all on our own, Aina.”

Aina, smiled at Triela, a few steps further down the grand staircase in the foyer. Natalie and Larissa were already at the bottom, waiting for the two of them. They all looked exhausted, but happy. Actually, she was feeling pretty good too, after the events of the day. Though, if she looked through the narrow windows flanking the front door, it was probably more accurate to say that it was very late at night now.

“I know that, but I’m trying to be a good host to my friends,” she replied genially. It was at least part of the truth. The other half was that she wanted to walk around the house some more. The idea that it was now her home felt more real that way.

“She’s probably afraid we’ll move something,” Natalie laughed with a playful smirk to show the teasing was just for fun. Even tired the girl was ready for more exciting things to happen. It was part of what she liked about her. Natalie was easy to talk to, and she didn’t resent that her sister’s attention had been taken by mom.

“It’s Krista’s room, not mine,” she answered, reaching the bottom. “It’s up to her how she likes it, but she’s a messier girl than me. She and Janet both claim it’s more comfortable that way.”

The smooth, carefully worn stone tiles of the floor felt oddly pleasurable under her tiny bare toes. Like the rest of her, her feet were very small, but sensitive. She followed the others towards the back of the house, and closed her eyes to block out the visual stimuli. She had no fear of running into a wall, or anything else for that matter. Her other senses, both natural and not, would tell her all she needed. It was easier without her eyes to feel out other things.

The house felt strange, but comforting at the same time, like an old friend she was getting to know again. She could feel the time that had passed here, like some kind of age-born wisdom infused its components. The house was not alive of course, yet it wrapped around her family like an infant’s safety blanket, bolstering them. A magic of some kind was woven into the walls, floors, and grounds. It made her feel welcome into her new home.

The idea that this was now home was only just settling into her true consciousness. For twelve years they’d lived in a house with a sword represented by her grandmother over their heads. It hadn’t been until she was nine or ten when she was told the full truth about their living problems, but she’d always known something wasn’t right. It was the kind of painful thing that lingered, like a toothache that hadn’t been properly taken care of. But that was all in the past now. Mom had dealt with all of it, with Tina alongside her.

Mom had hired inspectors, an assessor and even a property lawyer to go over the old house meticulously so that no matter what grandmother did they would be free of her. Every tiny thing was legally accounted for and documented. Then she’d done the same with this new house, fixing a few things here and there, making sure there would be no big problems from the outset. She only got to watch from the sidelines for most of it, but she had been impressed by how much detail and effort had gone into setting up a new house.

“Did you really get enough sleep from just that short nap earlier?” Natalie asked curiously, as they turned the corner in the short hall towards the downstairs bedrooms. Her slim form appeared almost phantom-like in the half-lighting coming from the one window.

“Sure, when I sleep it accelerates my body’s blood processing ability,” she answered. The doctor had used medical terms, like enhanced metabolic processes, but most of it was too technical for any kind of easy conversation. She only understood small parts of it anyway. “And thank you for the blanket by-the-way, your sister had been getting a little cold.”

“Hmm, it was no problem. I was just checking on you guys and you looked kind of cute, all curled up together. It was more than a little tempting to join you.”

She was feeling so good at the moment that she decided to share a deeper knowledge of herself with her friends. “Actually, I have a harder time sleeping by myself, though I can. When I’m not up against someone I trust, or better yet, curled up with someone I like a great deal, I feel lonely. It’s like an odd, cold feeling in my chest. Sleeping with someone like that makes me feel warm, safe and alive. It’s very important to me.”

“Is that why you’ve been in such an unusually animated mood since your nap?” Larissa asked, after a considering pause that carried them through the bedroom door.

“That was part of it,” she agreed readily, happy that her friends were getting to know her so well. “But I’ve had a lot of fun today with everyone, and it’s been exciting. It’s only recently that I’ve had so many friends to hang out with, so everything feels special.”

They smiled, and Triela snorted her amusement as she looked around the room. All of the stuffed animals were in a cozy little pile in one corner. The furniture had been transplanted over from Krista’s old room. Thick, blue carpeting ran to white wainscoting on the walls that were painted a slightly lighter blue than the floor. On the bed was a brand-new, thick, white-on-black comforter and sheet set that were a welcoming gift from mom to Krista and four big pillows.

“Wow,” Triela said, after assessing the once-over. “Krista is so girly, but her stuff is kinda cool. I feel comfortable already.”

“She’s always been that way,” Natalie added. “But she’s fun too, except if you play her at monopoly, she always wins somehow.”

On the floor were three lumpy travel bags. Those were the clothes and things brought by the three for the weekend. Aina had moved them inside magically after she’d rested and fed. They were only staying over for the weekend, but they’d each brought enough to last a week based on the number of clothing changes available. Larissa was already heading towards them.

“Hey!” Triela said, catching her bag when her sister threw it at her. “I completely forgot about our stuff.”

“Good thing I did remember,” Aina smiled with good humor. “My clothes won’t fit you guys at all.”

“We could have just walked around naked!” Natalie joked with a grin at the others.

“I thought you said we aren’t your type?” Larissa asked, smirking and playing along with Natalie’s playful flirting. Aina knew, from conversations they’d had, that Larissa really only liked men sexually. Specifically, she liked muscly manly men, a fact which Aina was sworn to secrecy to never to reveal because Larissa thought the others would laugh of they knew. She was totally immune to Natalie’s naturally flirtatious manner, but enjoyed riling her up.

“You’re not,” Natalie shrugged, visibly happy Larissa was playing along. “Doesn’t mean I wouldn’t enjoy the view though.”

“See sis, these are the kinds of friends we have now!” Triela said after a bark of laughter.

“Blame the cute vampire girl!” Natalie laughed back, pointing right at Aina. “I’m just going with the flow here and having fun.”

“I will admit to being at fault for a lot of this,” she admitted with great amusement. “Except for Natalie’s ogling, she’d do that anyway. It’s a good thing she’s sleeping with you two. I get plenty attention already.”

“Ehh, I feel safe enough,” Triela shrugged, giving Natalie a friendly smirk. “I don’t think there will be any surprise nocturnal ravishing going on. Looking is free though.”

“Well, that’s no fun,” Natalie sighed, as if in resignation of a defeat. She grabbed her bag and slung it over one shoulder. “Anyone care if I grab the bathroom first?”

“Nah, have at it,” Larissa replied, already rummaging through her stuff for night clothes. She looked up and gave Aina a tired smile. “We’re good Aina, so you can stop babysitting us now. You’ve got people waiting for you.”

“Goodnight then,” she said, leading Natalie back out into the hall.

“G’night Aina!” Triela called after her, just before Natalie shut the door.

They walked together a short length down the hallway, and then Natalie stopped before the darkened entrance to the bathroom. “This is my stop Aina. Thanks for inviting all of us to spend the weekend here. This has been great, even if you and my sister did put me tor work.”

“You’re my friends, and you guys worked really hard today,” she replied easily, with a small smile. “You can come and hang out whenever you want. I’m sure your sister and my mom won’t mind.”

Natalie cocked her head with an amused look. “I’ll take you up on that.” Then her eyes went wide as they looked over and past Aina. “Holy naked god!”

Turning to see what had shocked Natalie so much, she suddenly felt the growing presence of another person behind her, one she knew well. What she found, was just as her senses had only just now reported. Janet was standing there, looking quite pleased with her accomplishment of sneaking up on them. Kitsune were absolute master craftsmen of illusions, and only Janet out of everyone in the house could fool and circumvent her supernatural senses so completely. Aina always found the feat both impressive and amusing. At the moment, she very much felt more of the latter.

The shock factor was obvious. Janet’s usual braids had been undone, and shower-damp sandy hair hung down to bare shoulders of healthy, smooth skin. But that was not all that was bare. Above the toned stomach she loved to caress with her fingers and her cute navel, Janet’s small, perky, conical breasts were on full display with nipples erect from excitement. The only garment Janet wore was a pair of high-cut hipster panties that showed off the wonderful rounded shape of her butt and came in close to accent her vulva. Her four bushy tails were in constant movement, a visible and furry display of Janet’s happiness. It was a literally mouthwatering display that made her wet in an explosion of yearning.

“Haa!” Janet crowed with obvious pride, setting her hands on her hips. The posture only accented her desirable appearance. Now that the illusion magic was gone, Aina could smell Janet’s arousal perfuming the air, mixed in with the still unfamiliar scents of the house and the other girls, especially Natalie who was also getting a bit wet. Something about Janet’s scent was different though. “I knew you would like this. Aina, you look like you’re about to eat me alive!”

“It is very tempting,” she said. Janet quickly moved towards her and they kissed. It was a light teasing at first, but Janet was impatient and took the lead, demanding her tongue with her own and sparking her sexual hunger even higher. Her hands trailed down a bare back, grasping and squeezing at firm, and yet soft buttocks under soft, furry tails. They broke the kiss with a soft, mutual laugh of loving enjoyment. “Where did you get that underwear?”

Janet grinned at her, and the pride was back. “I stole them from Ally’s dirty pile when she got dragged into the shower by Krista. She’s been wearing these all day!”

“So that’s why you smell funny,” she said, leaning in for a deep inhale. She let the scents in slowly. Now that she concentrated, the sweet fragrance that was unique to Ally was mixed in with the stronger, but no less delicious one from Janet. It was so good. She gave the spot just underside lobe of Janet’s right ear a little nibble, and then a slow lick before speaking in a teasing hush. Janet shivered and gave her an appreciable moan to demand more. “I didn’t know you liked dirty underwear.”

Janet gave a throaty chuckle as he pulled back a little to grin insouciantly at her. “Normally I don’t really. I just wanted to see what your reaction was. These are really comfortable, and Krista and I got a huge kick out of seeing them on Ally. I think I can call this test drive successful!”

A soft cough drew their attention back around to Natalie, who looked a bit worked up as well. She pointed towards the bathroom. “I’m going to just slip away now,” she said, fighting a wide smile. “But thanks for the free show Janet!”

“No problem!” Janet called back happily, turning to give Natalie the full display again. Natalie just shook her head in bemusement and ducked through the door. Then Janet was giving her a laughing smile. “Do you think she’s—”

“I think your ego can survive not knowing whether she is pleasuring herself to you,” Aina said with a giggle she couldn’t help letting out, cutting Janet off by taking her hand to gently lead her away.

“Oh, it can, but it’s funny somehow too,” Janet laughed, moving ahead to walk backwards for a moment. Aina took the chance to watch lovely bare legs in motion, and to enjoy the view in general. “But I had to come get you. You were taking way too long and I wanted you.”

“Impatient are we?” she teased.

“Hell yes!” Janet huffed, rushing at her again. Janet’s kiss was hungry and her tails swirled about them in excited agitation. Aina felt a hand slip down the back of her pj’s and obliged to spread her legs a little. Fingers trailed down inside the cleft of her butt, finally rubbing her wet pussy from behind. A soft groan escaped when one digit smoothly penetrated her and held still. Janet’s breathing grew heavier and her voice as a little husky. “It’s your fault, walking around like that all night, and I haven’t had a chance to really be with you for days. I’ve missed it so much.”

Aina, feeling hot and very aroused by the finger inside her tight vagina, smiled at Janet’s words. Janet wasn’t the only one that had missed this kind of intimacy between them. Conflicts in schedules had prevented it, so most of their time together had been at school and they were trying very hard, all four of them, not to do anything sexual there. A light kiss was about the furthest they would allow. She squeezed her vaginal muscles and wriggled her hips to add to the stimulation.

“Well, you have me now,” she said in reply. Seeing the new, light sheen of sweat that Janet was gaining from their actions, she licked slowly up her neck to taste the salty liquid. Janet sweated easily when she was aroused, but in her opinion, it smelled like pure sex. Running her fingers into Janet’s loose hair, caressing the sensitive scalp, she pulled her loved one in and shared with another deep, tongue caressing kiss.

Janet’s lips were small, but soft on her own. Her tongue was alive and so hotly sensual as it played with her own that she was already dangerously close to an orgasm. Her aphrodisiac saliva was being greedily slurped from her tongue and mouth. Though she would never admit it aloud to anyone, Janet had a little fetish where her saliva was concerned. Sometimes Janet to a page from Ally’s book and sucked purely on her tongue. It felt amazing when either girl did it, and more than a bit naughty.

Purely on memory, she shuffled them along through the house, with Janet’s finger still nestled deep inside her. They were almost to the couch where hours before she’d napped with Tina, when she had a small orgasm that made her quiver. Her juices drooled down her leg as she groaned and rode it out. That was when Janet suddenly pulled out and backed away, seating herself down on the piece of furniture.

“That was awesome!” Janet rasped, almost panting from her own exhilaration. The stolen panties were drenched and leaking. “But I have another idea.”

Janet flipped around, so that she was upside down with her legs up the back of the sofa and her head was hanging off the seat. Her breasts pancaked a little, but the hard little nipples were obvious and tempting as they stuck up into the air. She approached, not quite understanding yet, but wanting to get her hands back onto her girlfriend. When she was close enough Janet reached out with both arms, grabbed her by the hip, and pulled her in closer.

“Oh!” was all she could utter, before her pj bottoms were yanked down below her butt. Again she was pulled, this time so that Janet’s face was between her legs and the pants. She quickly widened her legs so the taut cloth acted as a temporary headrest, a wet and smelly one, but it was good enough that Janet’s wouldn’t have to strain in that position. She received a laugh in appreciation, and then a mouth suckered onto her slit.

There was no teasing involved this time around. Janet licked at her and sucked on her tiny labia, cleaning and exciting her at the same time. A finger was back, but it roamed further than before. Gently, it was thrust in and out of her snug backside with steady strokes, just as she loved having her butt treated. The sensations resonated wonderfully and she could feel a new, strong climax on the way.

She leaned carefully forward, so as not to dislodge Janet, and ran her hands over her lover’s chest and firm belly. Her fingers captured turgid nipples and tugged, twisted, and played with them. Janet’s moans vibrated against her pussy. She moved further down, sliding under the panties. She loved the feel of Janet’s more prominent mound and lips under her fingertips. The clit was easy to find, and Janet bucked once when she gave it a quick rub.

They continued like that, both giving fully into the lovemaking. Since they were at least a little familiar by now they the body of the other, it wasn’t hard for them to bring their respective partner to the edge of a crushing orgasm, and then retreat to build things up just a little more. She was just coming down from one of these waves with her whole body trembling from the near peak, when she was surprised by hands and arms wrapping around form behind, seeking her small chest. Bigger, softer breasts pressed against her back and a very familiar scent finally registered.

“Krista!” she moaned in surprised joy.

“Me too!” Ally said cheerily, coming into view and climbing onto the sofa. She was delightfully naked and with her hair well tousled. “I wondered where my underwear went! Janet, you only got them even messier.”

“We also wondered where you two had gotten off to,” Krista said, still caressing her lovingly. Ally leaned in under her arm to suckle at Janet’s breasts.

That was enough for both of them. She clenched her legs around Janet’s head and rode a powerful climax that her girlfriends quickly prolonged into several more in rapid sequence. Only peripheral awareness let her know that Janet too was being thrust into her orgasm, wriggling on the sofa. Ally then sat back, watching them with a happy smile and Krista held her tight, kissing the back of her neck soothingly. When she relaxed, Janet popped her head free, panting hard.

There was a tingle of vampiric magic, and all of her and Janet’s copious, escaped fluids streamed towards Ally from their bodies and elsewhere. Like flying, milky-silver rivers, she drank them in thirstily. She was too disoriented by the successive orgasms to protest, but decided that it didn’t really matter. There would be plenty more tonight where that came from. Ally however, had a completely different idea. Once the flow stopped and Janet had righted herself on the sofa, Ally sat up and came at her with cheeks bulging. Caught off guard, Ally’s lips found hers easily.

As they kissed and she held Ally possessively, the combined fluids were shared between them. It was an erotically novel experience, tasting herself mixed in with the more nourishing and delicious contribution from Janet. Their tongues twined together all the while, playing and tasting at the same time. When they were done, and the shared meal had been drunken down, Ally parted from her with a pleased giggle.

“That was different,” she said, relaxing back into Krista arms once more. She glanced up at her beautiful, redhead girlfriend. “Did you know Ally was going to do that?”

“Nope,” Krista smiled down at her. “It was interesting to watch though.”

“What Aina and Janet were doing looked even more fun to me,” Ally argued, sitting with one leg propped up. It left all of the good stuff on full display. Around the four of them, and Mom, Ally didn’t have much modesty anymore. Aina not-so-secretly thought Ally had been a closet nudist all along.

“Which position?” Janet laughed, lounging back as she recuperated. She was flushed and there was almost no point to the panties anymore with how wet and clingy they were.

“Both!” Ally responded eagerly, she kicked her leg out to snuggle up to Janet, giving her a quick kiss. “Did it feel weird, being upside down like that?”

“Hmm, not really,” Janet said after a second to think. “The extra blood rushing to my head was a bit weird toward the end, but I’d certainly do it again.”

“Can we go back up to the bedroom first?” Krista suggested. “I think Larissa and the others probably heard everything you guys were doing. You got a little loud this time.”

That was a jolt. Normally she shielded a room when they had sex in it for the extra privacy. As a result, they’d all gotten into the possibly bad habit of getting very noisy and uninhibited about vocalizing their pleasure. None of them were really into talking dirty or swearing a lot, but loud encouragements were not unheard of. This time she’d been too caught up in the unexpected delight Janet had given her.

“That’s probably a good idea,” she agreed, turning in the hold to give Krista an affectionate, light kiss in thanks. It reminded her of something else, the early gift Krista was supposed to open when they were alone. Once again, Tina’s cryptic request intrigued her.

Together and naked for the most part, they quickly went back upstairs to her new bedroom. It was a very large rectangular space, with rich, golden-brown carpet and an odd, sliding glass door that led to her spacious bathroom suite. Like her mother’s bedroom and the great room, it took up a third of the upstairs floor space. Since most of it, and the bathroom too, ran along outside walls she had enough windows that she almost didn’t need any kind of lighting. Curtains would be a pain, but it would be an interesting look. She’d tentatively placed her bed near the middle under one of those windows.

The sheets were already tossed about and messy, so she knew that Krista and Ally had already used it. She didn’t care though; all of her girls were welcome in it any time they wanted. Janet gave a whoop and flung herself through the air, tails streaming behind, and landed with a playful bounce and a roll onto her belly. Laughing heartily, even as Aina shielded the room, Janet stuck her butt up into the air at them, yanked down the panties and flipped up all four tails, mooning them and presenting herself at the same time.

“Stop being so crude!” she laughed.

Ally giggled happily. “It’s not so bad. The view of her butt is nice!”

“Yes, but that leaves just you with clothes on Aina!” Krista complained, reaching for the hem of her shirt.

Aina readily allowed herself to be stripped. It took only moments and when she was done, she pulled Krista in close again. “I have a surprise for you Krista of some kind.”

“Some kind?” Krista asked in confusion, smiling when Aina’s hand took one of her breasts in hand to caress.

“You don’t know?” Janet seconded, lithely squirming around to sit facing them.

“Not at all,” she answered, looking at Krista. “Tina said it was an early gift for your birthday and said I should hide it until we four were alone. I’m just as curious as everyone else.”

“Where did you hide it?” Ally asked, looking around.

“In the shadow space,” Aina said, amused. She waved casually at the floor with her free hand and reached with her power. The box from earlier appeared there and settled onto the thick carpet without much of a sound. It was still wrapped in the festive paper. Krista looked shocked, and maybe a little embarrassed for some reason. “Is there something wrong with it?”

“Umm, not really,” Krista answered, but held tighter to her. “It’s just that I’m pretty sure of what it is. I just never expected Tina to actually buy it for me. We only joked about it. If it’s what I think it is, I don’t know what you guys will think of it.”

“Bah! Just open it and let us see!” Janet huffed. “It’s not like some gift Tina bought you would ever make us love you any less.”

“I know that, but it’s something you might think is little odd,” Krista replied, slowly separating to pick up the box. Deciding to help, she held the sides so Krista could tear the paper. She got a smile of appreciation in return. Visibly steeling herself, Krista grasped a fold and ripped until all the wrapping was on the floor in tatters.

Because of her position as helper, Aina saw first what the gift actually was, and her eyes widened in surprise. It was blue paperboard with a clear-plastic window in the front. Across the top was a name: A Girl’s First Love Kit, in bright pink bubble letters. That would have told her almost all she needed, but the window showed more. Prominent in the center, was a slim, smooth, and bright-pink vibrator. The same kind she had seen used on the internet. Arrayed around it were more shapes that were familiar from the same source. Sex toys.

There was a wand with a bulb at the tip nestled next to the first toy in the plastic holding tray. Next to that were two dildos, one smaller and smooth, and the other bigger, with a curve and bumps. Both were made of a soft synthetic rubber. There was a tube labeled as being lubricant next to a series of little cone-like things she was sure were for putting in your butt. Multiple little egg vibrators sat in a little clutch in one corner with cables connected to controllers. A tagline below the window read: Now rechargeable with included AC adapter!

“Wow!” Ally said in a shocked whisper. “I’ve only seen these things on the internet when Aina and I watch stuff.”

“You guys watch porn together? Cool!” Janet laughed, coming over for a closer look. “Damn. Its real.”

“I thought Tina was joking!” Krista said, flushed pink and almost panicking from embarrassment. Trying to sooth her a little, Aina handed the box to Ally and pulled her in again. Krista nodded her thanks and held her tightly. “We were talking and looking at stuff together. She showed me the site she buys her toys from and asked me ages ago if I wanted something for myself. I was too embarrassed to say yes, that I really did want one, but I laughed and said I’d rather have something the four of us can use together. She showed me the page for this and told her it looked cute, and might be fun. I didn’t know she was going to buy it!”

Aina gave the box an intrigued look. She’d thought about items like those in the box and maybe owning one someday when she was old enough to buy one. But that had been a nebulous fantasy. From the interested looks on Ally and Janet, they must have had similar thoughts. Ally turned the box over and twitched visibly. Then a wide smiled bloomed.

“There’s a note taped to the back!” Ally announced, showing them the yellow sticky-note sheet. “It’s from Tina.”

Krista leaned closer and read it aloud.

“Happy Early Birthday Krista! I know you probably never thought I’d really get you this. Just have fun and be safe with them. PS, there’s also a separately sold harness that works with several of the items. Let me know if you are interested and I’ll order it. Also, Raina knows about the gift and doesn’t mind. —Love Tina”

For a long, silent moment, the room was quiet as Krista stared at the box and the note. Aina was just happy her mother had Okayed this already and wondered if she and Tina used anything like these when they were together. She decided not to ask though. Their lovemaking was their own private affair. Krista was her concern at the moment and she needed make sure things were alright.

“You okay”? she asked gently.

“Hmmm?” Krista’s gaze popped up to match hers. Her face was still flushed, but not as badly. “Yeah, I’m fine. But you probably think I’m weird now to want things like these.”

Ally and Janet froze, watching them both with telling gazes. They were giving their full, silent support to what she would say. “Krista,” she said lovingly. “Do you want to try these kinds of things out? Does the idea of using toys like these excite you?”

“Yes, it does,” Krista answered, watching her closely She looked incredibly vulnerable. “Is that nasty?”

“How is this any worse than my liking to lick a girl’s asshole and thinking they are cute?” she replied, deliberately using the harsher term for the shock value. “Ally likes to suck on things and none of us think any less of her for it and we all let her enjoy it. Heck, just a few minutes ago Janet was playing with my tongue and spit, and Ally and I shared our juices while we kissed.”

“You don’t think it’s weird that I want to use these?” Krista asked, perking up considerably.

“Hell no!” she said, putting her face close to Krista’s. “If you want to use these, on yourself or on me, go right ahead. I love and trust you entirely. It’s not like I don’t think they could be exciting too. I want to experience new things with all of you, even if I may not have come up with the idea myself.”

“What about you guys?” Krista asked, looking at the others.

Janet shrugged back with a grin. “I love playing around with you Krista. So what if you add something extra once in a while? The whole point of being in this relationship is to learn about each other and enjoy our differences.”

“I’m willing to try new stuff with you too!” Ally agreed quickly. She held out the box. “Go ahead and open it up. It’s your gift.”

Taking it, Krista walked with them over to the bed where she sat down with it in her lap. Carefully, with them all watching, she ran her finger around the sides, snapping the sealing tape. Lifting the top off revealed everything. In a corner was a little booklet labeled: Read Me First! Instructions!

Krista opened the booklet and read silently for a long couple of minutes. They were in no hurry though, and they knew this was important to Krista. She soon looked up at them with a small smile. “It says they need to be washed before use…and charged if we want to use the powered ones.” She followed this by pulling out a box with a long power cord at one end and a multitude of little adapter plugs at the other. A red switch was mounted on top for easy visibility. “This charges all of them.”

Aina nodded, and then pointed at the two dildos and the long vibrator. There were multiple ‘sleeves’ for the latter with different textures and purposes, some of which were too obtuse for her to easily deduce. Since she had done all the reassuring and convincing, it was up to her to offer her support again. “Any of these can be used now, right?”

“Yes,” Krista nodded back, looking a little eager now. Her arousal was certainly building back up. “After sanitizing them of course. Soap and water works since they are all waterproof. I’ll have to read and see what some of the other ones are actually for.”

“Allow me, Krista!” Janet announced helpfully. “You guys should get warmed back up again. It shouldn’t take me long.”

“Thank you Janet,” Krista replied, handing Janet the box after setting aside the charger unit. As Janet walked into the bathroom, leaving the door open, she walked with a deliberate sway to her hips.

“You’ve given her and her butt a huge ego, Aina,” Krista said with a laugh.

“We’ve all been playing with it,” Ally argued, scooting over next to Krista. “Mine too!”

Deciding, like Ally had, that Janet was perfectly right, Aina pushed Krista onto her back. Then she climbed on top of her, straddling her body on the bed. Krista didn’t resist at all, and met her kiss happily. There was still a faint taste of Ally’s juices on her soft, sensual lips. She made sure to be thorough about cleaning it off. Not to be left out, Ally put a hand between Krista’s legs to work down below.

“So, the toys,” she said with lust back in her voice and she gazed into Krista’s eyes, “were you thinking of giving or receiving with your new acquisitions?”

“Both!” Krista replied immediately, smiling back at her. She was slowly gyrating to Ally’s attentions. “But giving mostly. I’ve wanted to do more to make you guys feel good.”

“Well,” she kissed deep and hard, “how about you use one on me to try things out and someone else can use another on you? Between the four of us, I think we can give these things a good test run.”

“Okay!”

A few minutes later, when Janet came back in with the box of toys and an odd smile on her face, she knew it was time. It was always exciting to try new things with her girlfriends, and in this instance, it was all Krista’s show. She dismounted, much to both Ally and Krista’s vocal disappointment, and lay back on the bed with her head propped up by a couple pillows so she could watch. Janet set the box down, and after a moment of thought, Krista slowly lifted out the smaller, gently curved dildo. It had a wide, circular base and looked nothing like a real human penis.

“You probably wouldn’t want the bigger one, right?” Krista asked, shuffling towards her with eagerness in her eyes. Her face held both love and excitement in large amounts.

“Heh, yeah,” she agreed with an amused smile. “I’m also very glad I broke my hymen myself before I became a vampire. Otherwise it would heal again every time I do something like this.”

“Wow, I never thought about that!” Janet said in surprise. “That would suck a whole lot.”

“You also clearly don’t need any lubrication,” Krista chortled, crouching over her this time. She spread her legs and Krista moved in, gently lapping at her soaked sex for only just a moment. “You’re still dripping from earlier.”

Slowly, Krista placed the tip of the pink toy against her labia, stroking it up and down her slit. It was a new, strange sensation, but not unpleasant at all. The texture was a far remove from a human finger or tongue, so part of her excitement was probably the novelty. Her lips were carefully spread and she felt the usual pressure right before being penetrated. Then Krista locked gazes with her and she nodded. She wanted Krista to do it.

Slowly, the toy was pushed into her, far deeper than any finger had ever gone. It also had a girth that was more like two fingers and made her feel so unusually full inside. It was different, and a little odd at first to be so filled up, but it also felt extremely good to be so fully stimulated. Seeing she was perfectly alright and enjoying things, Krista began pumping it with long, steady thrusts. For herself, Aina could see her labia and vagina clutching tightly to the toy and her fluids were a non-stop drool.

Janet took out the other dildo, the bigger, textured one, and moved toward intently Krista’s exposed bottom. For a moment, Krista froze, closed her eyes and let out a long, shuddering sigh as she too was entered and filled up. Then Krista went back to work, using her tongue now on Aina’s aroused clit. Moaning her pleasure, she saw Ally watching and masturbating off to the side. She gestured and her cute, blonde girlfriend eagerly came over. Their mental link let them share impressions without words, so Ally didn’t even hesitate to straddle her face.

It was so good, having something thrusting deep inside her pussy while she in turn buried her face in Ally’s small, deliciously wet sex. It didn’t take long at all for her orgasm to come, and this time she let the climaxes roll through her. By the time she swapped places with Janet, Krista’s arm and face were soaked from her fluids. The toys felt really good to all of them, and Krista seemed to love and climax hard with them, so they tried a few different things with her before they all got too tired.

It was very late when it was just she and Krista awake. Ally and Janet were happily curled under the sheets together on the other side of the bed, with Ally’s back toward her. Krista was laying half on top of her, drowsy, but still awake. Part of that was probably because Aina was still gently sucking and kissing at one of her growing breasts. They were just too nice not to pay loving attention to.

“Did you like it enough to do it again?” Krista asked her eventually. Her voice was light and airy from the strain of the last couple of hours. She’d been the most vocal this time around.

“Using the toys was certainly different,” she answered softly, caught up in her love for the girls. “I even liked the bigger one once I worked my way up to it. It’s like anything else though, if sex is the same all the time, it’ll get boring. So if you want to bring them out to add variety occasionally or just to have a little fun, I certainly won’t say no, and we haven’t had a try at any of the powered things in that box yet.”

“You want to try the ones that go in the butt too?” Krista replied with a soft giggle.

“Carefully,” she said, smiling back. “We are going to have a long time together to try new and wonderful things Krista. I think that between the four of us, things won’t easily get stale as long as we can all share our ideas and fanatsies. If you have an interesting notion again, let us know. I might want to try it just as much as you do.”

There was a long silence, and then an amused laugh from Krista. “What if said I kind of want to take Tina up on the harness offer?”

Aina raised her eyebrows at that. “You want to wear it and have sex with us like that?”

“Maybe, and I’d like it done to me too!”

“Well, how about we give the toy box a chance before we move on to the advanced stuff. But that reminds me of something else, we need to make sure that we thank Tina in the morning. It was her birthday gift to you.”

“I will,” Krista yawned widely. “It’s kinda weird though, since your mom clearly knows what we’d be doing with a gift like this. But she’s been so nice to me lately. I should thank her again for letting me live here.”

“Heh, I think she’s half-adopted all of you by now,” Aina said, amused at the topic. “She likes having a house full of noisy girls to mother on and she has always hated that you liked alone. I think she would have insisted that you live here, if you’d protested at all.”

“How could I refuse? A good portion of my dreams have been about living with you, Janet and Ally in a house of our own. This is close enough to be a bit freaky. And I even have my own room still!”

“Just remember you’re always welcome here too,” Aina said, stroking a stray lock of red hair away from Krista’s face.

“I will,” Krista mumbled, closing her eyes. Her breathing even out, and she realized that Krista had fallen asleep. Smiling at that, she cuddled up too, and willed herself into sleep as well. There was time enough for anything else tomorrow.

 

---

Very late the following morning, Tina awoke feeling well rested and comfortably warm. The sheets around her smelled lightly of the sexual activities participated on them, but she liked it. She also very much enjoyed the feeling of having Raina curled up against her right side. It was kind of cute really, how alike mother and daughter looked when they slept. Except unlike Raina, she was very much a morning person, but she didn’t feel a need to wake Raina just yet.

Instead she gently slipped from the bed, careful not to jostle too much. She was still very much naked and in her true form. It was warm enough in the room though, that she did not feel chilled in the least. The sunlight pouring in through the windows helped with that too, providing a comfortable ambiance. Aina’s shield ad faded though, because sounds drifted to her sensitive ears.

She recognized immediately, the cheerful laugh that belonged to her younger sister. Natalie was also very boisterous in the mornings, and it was for that reason that the two of them had spent so many in bed having enthusiastic sex. She couldn’t even count the number of times she’d awoken to Natalie climbing into her bed before school. But Natalie was not the only voice coming from below. Larissa and Triela were there too. It sounded like they were having a good time.

Her desire however was to relax and wait for Raina to wake on her own. After the long day and night she’d had, Raina deserved a long lie-in. So she padded over to their bathroom’s sliding door and quietly slipped inside. Her destination was of course, the huge whirlpool bath she had coveted at first sight. She was finally going to have a chance to have a nice long soak.

After figuring out which controls and knobs did what, she set the tub to filling with steaming water. Whilst that was going on, she grabbed one of Raina’s wonderfully fluffy towels and hung it from the provided bar. Then she gingerly began climbing into the water, settling down onto one of the seats. She waited until the water was up to her shoulder before turning the faucet off, and turning the agitator jets on. When she laid back and relaxed, it was so very close to perfection.

She indulged in the gently massaging water for almost an hour when she detected a subtle change in the steam filled air. The savory, rich aroma of coffee slowly drifted to her nose, and she opened her eyes to investigate. Sitting there on the bathroom floor within reach of her, were not one, but two big mugs of coffee. A small piece of paper was leaning against the one that looked to have been hand made by an unskilled child and painted garishly. It didn’t take a genius to know the provenance of the items, and she suspected Aina had also been the craftsmen behind that mug. The confusion of the second mug only lasted a moment.

“Tina?”

The sound of Raina’s curious call perked her up considerably. “I’m in the bath!” she called back. “Your daughter just provided us with coffee if you want to join me.”

“Hmm, the thought of coffee is tempting,” Raina responded, entering the bathroom with an amused smile.

“Only the coffee?” she pouted playfully, letting her naked body float up and across the surface of the bath. The sight of Raina so obviously enjoying the view made her heart soar.

“You are not a temptation,” Raina laughed, stopping at the toilet to relieve herself. Clearly Raina was no longer body shy at all. “You are all mine now so there is nothing to resist. And I’m pretty sure you’re very good for me.”

“Ooh, a good answer!” she laughed, reaching out for the mug and paper. Water soaked into it from her hand but the words were clear and easily legible anyways. It was Aina’s work alright, and Krista too. “It seems the girls had a great night too. This is their thank you. Aina added the coffee for added effect.”

“Sounds like something she’d do,” Raina agreed, coming over to sit down next to her and dangle her legs into the water. Tina took the obvious invite and moved right between them, only to have Raina wrap those legs around her and pull her in close. They kissed, slow and soft, and only then was she let go again.

Raina picked up the other mug and they both enjoyed their provided beverages. It tasted wonderful as usual, and she was also touched by the gesture it implied. Careful not to spill, Raina slipped down to nestle against her in the water. It was a great way to just relax and enjoy some time together with the woman she loved. She knew that she had homework to complete before her classes on Monday, but she was also in no hurry to leave. Especially not when Raina eventually moved on top of her and they started making out like a couple of horny teenagers.

“I really am happy you have become a part of this family,” Raina said much later, still kissing her hungrily between sentences. Then she spoke in a softer, more worried tone. “I want you so badly Tina, to live with you and love you. I want to have daughters with you and raise them together.”

Excited and aroused as she already was, the importance and implication of the words made her gasp. Despite the fact that she was already living with Raina now, these kinds of words hadn’t been spoken yet. She had figured it was because such things weren’t technically legal in this state yet…but this. “Are you asking me…to marry you?”

Raina nodded slowly, gazing into her eyes. She felt her heart race in response. “But…it isn’t even legal here…and I am already living with you.”

“I know that,” Raina said gently, kissing her softly. “I wanted to make sure you knew exactly how I feel about you. The legal stuff doesn’t matter. This is just a promise between us. All a ceremony is, is a public declaration of intent and formal joining between families. My declaration is right now, naked in a bathtub with the woman I love. Would you like me to call the rest of the family in too?”

“No!” she snorted in a burst of laughter. “I doubt Aina would mind stripping down and climbing right in here if only to tease us and have her fun, but my mom would hardly consider it proper. She’ll actually demand some sort of ceremony eventually, but this is good enough for me. I love you too, Raina Dennet, and I have no intention of living anywhere else but with you and my new family. As for having babies with me…let’s just say I won’t object to that either.”

“Good!” Raina smiled wide and Tina felt a hand slide between her legs. “Now, I think I left off somewhere around here last night.”

“You certainly did!” she agreed, settling back and giving full access of her arousal to the questing fingers. “But you know the rooms are unshielded now right? The others are going to hear whatever you are planning on doing to me.”

Raina’s smile only grew wider and there was a look in her eyes that would have made Tina so very wet, if she wasn’t already in a bath. She spoke two words before she began.

“Let them.”
