Bastien smirks in response to Archie’s insta-blush.

Archie’s already large eyes are suddenly saucers. “All of us…naked?”

“Allof us, unless your delicate sensibilities are more important than my wishes.” Manipulative much? Guilty as charged.

Archie huffs. “You really aren’t going to allow me to refrain from sexual activities until the next rut.”

“Definitely not.”

“Our Lady gets what our Lady wants—isn’t that correct, Archie?” Pennie presses, still warring with humor, a soothing reminder that we can be devastated about Nico and silly, stupid, sexy in love with each other at the same time.

Bastien guides me toward the bathroom, already removing my clothes before we reach the arched entrance. He tugs me toward the bathtub that is plenty big enough for all of us. Seconds later, he leads me into the water and attends to me the way he and I both love. He washes my hair, cleans every inch of my body, and then lifts me out of the tub, dries me off with fluffy towels, and carries me to the bed. He and I are the first to be happily spooning together. Pennie, clean and warm, his coals glowing, takes his space beside me, putting me back into the middle spoon position.

When Archie approaches, completely and epically naked, his cock stands at attention and his consternation with it is entirely adorable. “Where should I be?”

I turn from Bastien to Pennie and then back to Archie. “What is the appropriate configuration for us? Where will Nico be and where can Archie be so that we’re all together, with no one left out.”

Archie purses his very violet lips and fully pouts. “I love my family, but it’s you I wish to touch.” Flustered, he adds, “I don’t mean any slight to Bastien or Pennie… it’s just, I don’t think I’ll ever be amorous with anyone but our Lady ever again. She’s everything I need.”

“We understand,” Bastien says softly. “I’m grateful to you for everything you did for me. And, of course, our Lady’s arrival has changed things for all of us, but we’ll find our way together.” He’s humming with pleasure, which ripples through me too.

Archie nods and then looks pointedly at Pennie for an answer.

“In the future, we could rotate my position, but today isnotthe future.” Pennie nuzzles against the back of my neck. “Our Lady began something that needs to be finished before the day is over… unless that doesn’t please her.”

I utter a little moan, proving that his intentions—whatever they are—please me greatly.

Bastien crowds closer to me, clearly conveying that he’s not open to trading his position with Archie.

I squeeze him and kiss his neck. “You’re mine, Bastien, but sometimes you’ll have to share.” An idea sparks in the naughty domme portion of my brain. “If you don’t behave properly, I might have to punish you.” I rub my nose on his feathers, drawing in his alluring scent. “I could force you to watch as I find my pleasure with the other members of our family.” I bite my lip as passion stirs in the lower part of my body. “I could make you touch yourself, but never allow you to find release.”

Bastien breathes raggedly, his giddiness a joy to behold.

Pennie appears impressed. “You’re certainly excelling at the erotic use of yourmistresspowers. I approve.”

Archie releases a snarky grumble, murmuring something about how he’s still standing naked in the middle of the room with a distressing and disobedient appendage.

“Sorry, Archie.” I consider for a moment and then force my voice to attempt a dignified tone. “For tonight, I’d really like you to rest along the top of the bed, right above us. Your very alert equipment can be right near me so I can pet it whenever I want.”

“My Lady!”PrissyJekyll exclaims and I snort while attempting to smother my giggles in Bastien’s feathers.

But then I sober and dislodge myself from Pennie and Bastien, to their great displeasure, and sit up. To Archie, I say with no humor, “Do you need a safe word? What is your actual level of discomfort here? Am I overstepping?”

I rest my hand over my heart, not sure why that feels like armor for the most fragile part of me. “I truly don’t want to change you. I just thought… you were so unhappy and I thought acceptance might allow you to embrace yourself and all your urges. But am I being unfair to you? Do you feel mocked or supported? Am I doing to you what others have done to me?”

Archie’s expression relaxes and Pennie, now seated beside me, pulls me against him, while Bastien’s song is infinitely soothing.

“What?” I push, not understanding why they’re getting all mushy.

“You see us,” Pennie whispers in his husky tone. “You see Archie and me. You definitely see Bastien. You care deeply for Nico. We feel the way you value us, gifting us your empathy and compassion. It’s more than we ever expected. It’s what every monster in this city now knows. Youcare. Your father is safe because he’syourfather and you dared to stare at the reality of our society and lend us all space in your tender heart.”

He brushes his fingertips over my lips, practically daring me to steal a taste of him. “The queen will not be pleased by that news when it reaches her, because not one monster in this city would harm you even if the queen commanded it.” Pennie directs his attention to Archie. “Now, answer our Lady’s question so we can get some rest.”

All eyes remain on Archie’s face, which displays several conflicting expressions before landing on acceptance. “I don’t require a safe word, just your understanding—patience hopefully—when myprissyinclinations become combative. I'm not accustomed to being fully mentally present whenthatis animated.” We both glance at his hugely erect, tusked cock that is weeping for attention.

“Just bring that beauty over here and lie above me. Sometime during or after my nap, I’m going to put my mouth around that thing, or at least try.”

Archie’s prissiness spikes and his head looks like a giant grape about to explode, but trembling, he obeys my wishes and rests above us on this wonderfully spacious bed. His cock is right above my head and I reach and rest my hand on it, teasing along it while the mighty monster quivers.
