The Heartstone Saga by Archibald Bradford (short novels in english .TXT) 📕

“Hi yourself!” She said between cheerful licks; “We’ve been thinking about you too!”

Becks began to giggle almost manically, trying and failing to fend off the wolf’s affections.

Within a few seconds though she found herself leaning into it, the feeling of being in someone’s arms again pushing her inhibition aside as Jan’s tongue-bath slowed and their breathing deepened.

Finally the wolf stopped and looked down at the bunny, her amber eyes seeking out Rebecca’s warm pink gaze.

Her brow raised quizzically as she settled more of her weight on the bunny, their breasts mashing together while their hands on each other’s bodies was just short of inappropriate.

Together they were toeing the edge and debating crossing over it.

But Miranda had seen enough by then and Jan let out a whine when her bond-mate gripped her by the ear and firmly pulled her off of the breathless bunny.

“Bad Wolfen.” She chided firmly, though she offered a smile to the monster girl beneath her; “It’s good to see you again Becks.”

Rebecca licked her lips as she tried to regain control, finally having to take a deep breath to do so.

“Hi, um, h-hello Rimanda. Am glad of good see too.”

Mostly she’d regained control.

It didn’t help that Miranda could quite clearly see the Lapine’s hardened nipples peaking the fabric of her sleeveless shirt.

Becks followed her gaze down, and upon noticing what she was staring at she flushed to the base of her pierced bunny ears.

Though despite her embarrassment, she arched her back slightly, pressing her breasts tighter against her shirt as she bit her lip.

“See something you like?” She asked coquettishly.

She might be one to get tongue tied, but Lapine were as famously lascivious as Katje, so she had no problem showing off her goods.

Miranda’s mouth suddenly went dry as she looked up from the attractive bunny’s assets into her pink eyes.

But they weren’t alone.

“I can’t believe I’m the one who has to say this. But get a room.” Erica interrupted loudly from her new seat nearby.

They jolted out of the moment they were having, looking around to see a lot of faces watching them.

The worst part for Miranda was the look of absolute smugness Nameless was directing at her.

The senior operative cleared her throat to buy herself time to cast aside her embarrassment.

“Right, listen Becks, we were heading to the Aegis compound to see-”

“Yes.” The Lapine cut her off as soon as she felt there was an invitation coming; “I mean, what?”

Miranda had to bite back a grin before continuing.

“-see about bunking down for the night.”

“Oh.”

“Of course you’re welcome to walk with us.” She added quickly as she watched the bunny’s ears flatten.

“Yeah, she has to come.” Jez said from beside her hip; “We have so much to talk about! Like how much she likes my new bathing suit!”

“I do?” Rebecca blinked, her eyes tracing over the Gripau’s body reflexively; “Wow, I really do! It looks really cute on you.”

“I can’t take much more of this.” Nina complained; “You lot need to fuck off before I start hurting people.”

“Yeah and I need to get back to school.” Christine sighed; “I won’t be back until very late Cordy, the profs need people managing the grid overnight now that it has the extra burden of the defense net drawing off of it.”

“I’m sure that means something to someone.” Nina muttered as Cordelia’s older sister took her leave.

Her exit gave Rebecca time to regain her composure, and with the distraction Miranda turned to Nameless.

“I’ll report in and see about securing a room for you as well. Feel free to... visit in the meantime.”

Given how utterly crowded the main room of the hive was with four humans and ten monster girls, not including Oldeera’s Hornets, visiting was a lot easier once Christine, Miranda, and her girls left.

“At least she’s having fun.” Cordelia declared with a sigh as she watched the excited Rebecca follow Miranda out, the baker still little leery of the operative.

“They all are.” Volka said suddenly, a broad smile on her face; “They are also excited and very horny. Budding love is a joyous thing. And these days joy is in high demand.”

Cordelia had to take a breath suddenly, Volka’s aura having filled the room.

“Um, wow.” She swallowed; “Something’s different about you, V-Volka. Did you change your hair?”

The angel had inspired a certain degree of awe in her before, but this was something else; a palpable weight accompanied her mere presence, a metaphysical authority that the mortal Cordelia couldn’t account for.

Realizing that she had let her power get the best of her again, the Valkyrie closed her eyes and focused to get a handle on it, the glow of her aura fading a few seconds later.

“Yes. I grew it just slightly longer.” She said seriously; “Very keen of you to notice.”

Cordelia swallowed again and nodded.

“Right. Longer. That must be it.”

Oldeera though buzzed her wings and approached the angel.

“Longer hair isn’t the only change.” She mused; “I felt it through my girls before, but there really is something different about you Volka.”

“The correct form of address would be Dominar Volka.” Nina corrected her; “Which means she outranks you, feel free to curtsy at any time.”

Oldeera’s eyes widened, and to the surprise of her bond-mate, she actually did kneel before the Valkyrie, every Hornet in the hive doing the same.

“Dominar.” They proclaimed in greeting.

Volka closed her eyes as the responsibility of her reality settled on her shoulders again.

“Fucking hell that is satisfying.” Nina mumbled; “Now bow to my weakling next.”

“Enough.” The Valkyrie’s eyes flew open as she spoke the single word with stern authority, her aura slipping free of her again as she leveled a strict gaze at the Gigas.

The hive grew
