"That... was beyond excellent... and just what I needed..."
My mate was panting behind as she got herself dressed, the two of us still coming down from our orgasmic high that felt so much better than usual, especially since Anput had decided to go for that second round after hearing Yasmin.
I... really needed to get over this odd jealousy I had, but still, after what happened in the carriage when we were returning to the Empire and the odd feelings I had about the Dogkin servant, I wasn't willing to just let this rest for now, even though it only seed to bring about negative emotions within myself.
Curiosity killed the cat was a saying I was beginning to understand intimately at the mont, and I really didn't want to leave this be since that would only eat away at from inside each ti I saw the woman.
"Kat, what exactly brought this on? I'm not complaining or anything, and I had a good feeling that we'd end up having sex here, but... you were way more enthusiastic and needy than normal, which again... I am NOT complaining about in the slightest~! Never have, never will~!"
Buckling her pants and smirking at as I pulled up mine, Anput watched and waited for an answer, which I gave her after a mont of hesitation, weighing the pros and cons before deciding to just be honest with her.
It was the best policy to follow, and it would keep things between us clear and above table, letting us both make the proper judgents that were needed for a healthy relationship to continue being healthy.
"I... I wanted to mark you, and I wanted you to mark . I want to make sure that everyone we et for the next few days can sll on you and understand that you are my mate, and only my mate."
That made the Jackalkin raise a brow, though she kept quiet for a few monts as we finished getting dressed, eventually asking "Is... there a reason you need to have my pheromones refreshed now? Oh, you're still thinking about that plan of offering yourself at the arena, aren't you? Won't this just make that plan impossible, especially when it's MY scent clinging to your body?"
"Yes and no? For that last point, so people are driven by the desire to have sothing that they aren't supposed to have or sothing that belongs to soone else. And I was thinking of sticking to that plan since it would not only be an excellent way to harvest more Lust Mana, but we could also make a whole lot of money off of horny people's stupidity. But still, the real reason..."
I trailed off and took a deep breath, deciding that I really should just co out and say it now that we were here, alone, and in a position that we could discuss this without needing to worry about others butting in or drawing those people in if we did get a little... noisy.
"The real reason is because I wanted to make sure Yasmin could sll it."
"Yasmin? Why would you want to make sure she could sll my scent on you and vice versa?"
The genuine confusion on her face as she asked that made feel relieved, that minuscule part of that had worried there was perhaps sothing within her that did want her forr servant to be more than just a servant finally being able to lay to rest now that I had seen her reaction.
"It's a stupid reason, really. I an, tell , when you look at her and then look at , don't you think we're rather similar? Almost down to a tee in certain areas?"
"Similar..? What, curvy Dogkin who are servants to important people? I guess the maturity and how efficient and incredible you both are is the sa too, and objectively you both have the sa... 'archetype' of beauty? Just where you're more seductive and coy, she's a bit more strict and innocent? I guess?"
"Yes, and do you see why I might just be a bit... I dunno, feeling like I need to mark my territory? Surface level only, are we not both exactly your type?"
"I feel like this is a trick question; a trap you're laying down for to fall right into and use against ..."
She frowned and studied closely, her obsidian eyes narrowing as she tried figure out if answering that 'dangerous' question would have bad results, but when I said "I'll answer for you; we're both buxom Dogkin won with mature features and motherly aura's, but she's olive skinned and dresses 'looser' than while I have pale skin."
"Since you said it... yes..."
I nodded and stroked her arm before patting her shoulder as I added "Then can you see why I wanted to make sure you slt like ? I don't want you waltzing around the Sultanate slling suspiciously free of a mate, and I bet you feel the sa way, don't you?"
Looking away from for a mont, Anput murmured "Well, yeah, but still... that's different!", though when she looked back at it was with a smile, which placed one on my lips for now.
"And Anput?"
"Hm~?"
"I also just wanted to ask... and please don't get angry with , since you asked us all to not pry, but... I can't help but be curious if Yasmin was the Caninekin that Cali showed us in the carriage ride back to the Empire?"
And just like that, the smile that had been on her face disappeared, the Jackalkin turning away and walking towards the anvil to lift the cuffs from the horn before walking towards the door, making bite my cheek as I watched her walk.
"If you knew and rembered that I asked you to not pry, why did you pry? If I wanted to talk about it, do you think I wouldn't say a word?"
Her voice was flat, and when she glanced back at I had to hold back from biting through the flesh of my cheek as I swallowed down my emotions too, not really wanting to cry or get angry at sothing that I myself caused.
"Because I don't want you walking around carrying... whatever it is for however long you were planning on carrying it! It isn't healthy and it's-!"
"And it's MY problem, so I'LL deal with it! Kat, I've said it before; let's not argue about this, especially not now. I'm finally back ho, I'm able to deal with this on my own... just leave it be, alright? Just leave it be..."
Anput opened the door and stepped outside of the room, looking both ways down the hallway before glancing back at and gesturing for to follow, her neutral face a far cry from the passionate warmth that had been on it a few monts ago; but, like I was well aware of, actions had consequences and this was the one action that I knew would have a consequence like this, yet I still took it...
Swallowing down any other words I might have wanted to say, I stepped out of the room as well before following the Jackalkin through the halls, the two of us remaining silent for the entire walk down, which had beco another of those monts were ti stretched yet folded at the sa ti; it felt like forever as we placed one foot in front of the other, but at the sa ti, it was over really quickly too, which only made it worse when we entered the main hall again and found everyone else seated around so tables, chatting.
My eyes lingered on Anput's side profile for a few seconds as I watched her don her usual smile, so I decided to do her this one courtesy as I too donned a mask of familiarity for the others even as Anput walked her separate way, keeping herself away from .
My mate went ahead and took a seat amongst the pups, surprising them and joining in on their own ga that they were playing, whilst I went and took a seat beside Jahi, finding comfort in the all too familiar, strong presence of the Demoness I was bound to in so many different ways.
She was in the middle of playing a ga of mancala, the gorgeous blue and silver flat pebbles that they were using as pieces sliding from hole to hole as she slowly learned the ga from none other than the Sultana herself, who sat across from us.
Jahi gave a small smile before focusing on the board again, watching as the Sultana took her turn and began to gather up the various pebbles, before depositing them into her larger hole that acted as her 'ho'.
They were both quiet as they played, so I remained quiet beside them even as I glanced over at Anput, who was shuffling a deck of cards for the pups; I wanted to ask so questions, to speak my mind and express so many different emotions, but at the mont... speaking only felt like it would lead to more troubles, for all involved.
