Chapter 28: Lull in Battle.

Smoke flexed his stiff shoulder and rubbed his shoulder through the regenerative dressing tenderly, it was still fairly sore after having a hole drilled right through it but other than that the nanites and regenerative enzymes pumped into him by both the Battle Angels and the Raptorian medics had done wonders, it was almost as good as new.

No sooner had he sat up than Vippy and the others appeared out of thin air all around him, he swore to the Goddess these girls had lasers or something rigged up around him to tell them when he so much as farted wrong.

"Hey what are you doing up? You know you are supposed to be resting!" they exclaimed as one before stepping in and gently pressing him back down into the bed, they'd been given one of the private rooms that had once belonged to one of the Scalathor or Draconis officers of the base thanks to Smoke's actions and their married pride status, it wasn't large at all but the girls had basically converted the entire room into a bed by lobbing out the furniture including the bed and carting back some spare mattresses from somewhere to cover the floor.

"I'm not crippled girls, look-see? Works well" Smoke said rotating his arm and hiding the wince of stiffness as the new muscle fibre stretched where it was being rapidly rebuilt.

"Don't care, since you somehow managed to talk your Grand Patriarch into stopping your transfer back to the city where you'd have been safe and snug at home, so while you recover this is where you'll be" the pride said firmly as they surrounded him and pressed him back down into the bed all applying just enough weight to hold him there but no-where near enough to either cause him discomfort or hurt him.

Smoke a huffing noise as he relented, "Hey is the rumour floating around the Surface Stalkers true?" he asked and they all looked at him curiously as they sat down around him in a circle each beginning a little care task, Vippy slid her legs under his head acting as a pillow and began work on his shoulders and neck while Sema fixed his braids, Skeeva and Uma took an arm each and began working up and down them, while Lima and Freeda got a leg each.

"What rumour?" they asked.

"That Pride Life today is sending a team of war reporters up with the new teams of Surface Stalkers to cover the war?" Smoke said and the girls all looked at one another in surprise.

"How did you hear about that?" they asked and Smoke grinned.

"Girls I'm a communications expert and Sigint, it's literally my job to intercept information and intel, plus your Surface Stalkers jabber worse than a Hive of Xeno girls on a coffee break," Smoke said with a smile.

The girls looked somewhat upset, he got the feeling that they were planning on surprising him with this little tidbit of information and he'd beat them to the punch, "Yeah it's true, the Command prides feel it would be good for the citizens to see exactly how not only they're brave Surface Stalkers are fighting the invaders but how our wonderful new allies are aiding us in driving these vicious male abusing scum from our beautiful home" they said.

Suddenly Freeda piped up all on her own, "I even hear that Loose Males is going to do a piece on the Scalathor males that are safe in our city now, they are going to cover what happened to them and what we are doing to help them recover, it'll be so good to see those poor boys getting their first taste of freedom in our fair city, oh I hope they take them to the recreation zone so they can walk freely around the park, I'm so glad I set the recorder before I left" she said happily.

Smoke smiled at that thought, "Yeah there's a hundred of them on their way back to Clan Mason's homeworld as well, they're getting transferred to the Hive of the Battle Angels, our Grand Matriarch freed them from the Scalathor ships in orbit when she captured them, I also heard that when the war is over she's going to have a memorial erected for the ones she wasn't able to save at home so that they will always have a memory and will never be forgotten" Smoke said.

All of the girls looked at him in utter horror, "T-T-There were more of them!?" they exclaimed in perfect unison and Smoke nodded sadly.

"Yeah, from what I hear from a friend in Hunter one which is our Grand Matriach's personal team they were chained up like animals aboard thier ships, our Grand Matriach freed them by smashing the chains that the Scalathor and Draconis had used to anchor them to the walls with her war hammer, well to be fair we do call her Tik eleth Mason the breaker of chains, though from what I understand that was supposed to be reference to her being the first Yautja to break free of the own species oppression of true love when she took our Grand Patriach to be her mate, she apparently wrote a diary that detailed not only her feelings but the depths of her love for him and his honor for her, it told of how together they conquered the oppression and broke free of it against all odds, apparently its still used to this day among the Yautja Clans in certain circles and guides those that see the truth in her words to not only break free but how to find Clan Mason and to find thier own freedom in true love, so she broke the chains of oppression not only for herself but others of her kind as well, hence the breaker of chains, now its just more literal" Smoke explained.

His pride was utterly amazed by all of this, "She sounds like a truly incredible female" they said and Smoke nodded.

"Oh she is, there is not a Hunter, Seeker, Savior or Battle Angel alive that would not gladly march through the gates of hell itself at her side, because we know no matter what she has our backs as we have hers, she and our Grand Patriarch built the foundation one which the Clan is based, their unrestrained love, passion and belief is what drives every one of us, that's why Clan Mason is more than a home, or a people, its a symbol, for freedom from oppression and evil, its why we do what we do, for instance when we got word of what was happening here, our Grand Matriarch and Patriarch didn't even hesitate, the friends of our friends were in danger and so the Clan stands for them, that is what it is to be Clan Mason," Smoke said proudly.

"I'm glad you think so young Pathfinder because both your words here and your actions there did your Clan proud today not to mention the Hunters," a very familiar voice said from the doorway.

Smoke looked up and found himself looking right into the face of Tik eleth Mason who was stood leaning on the open doorway with Jack Mason stood right at her side leaning on her, "G-Grand Matriach!" Smoke stammered and tried to get up but Tik raised a large hand to stop him.

"Easy young ooman, rest in the arms of your loving pride, you have earned it by your actions today, my beloved one here tells me you are single-handedly responsible for restoring the communications but also for hacking into the Scalathor and Draconis military network, this move alone will save a great many lives young one, you have done that uniform proud today, when we get back home I will be personally pinning that medal upon your chest for the whole Clan to see," Tik said and Smoke smiled.

"Thank you Grand Matriarch, you both do me too much honour, it needed to be done and I was just the one in the right place to do it, nothing more," Smoke said humbly and Tik clicked her mandibles approvingly.

"And that young one is the attitude of a good Hunter, you see the problem and you do not shy from it, you tackle it and get the job done, no matter what, now rest up and let your pride get you back on your feet, we're going to need your help to keep the intel flowing, pretty soon the Scalathor and the Draconis are going to see the strength of a united Clan Mason and Raptorian front and we are going to show then what truly happens when you mess with us or our friends," Tik eleth said and Smoke despite still being pinned down by his girls managed to get out a salute.

"Yes Grand Matriarch," he said and Tik nodded in approval then she glanced at his pride.

"You girls take good care of this male he is the best of what our peoples offer to this universe, if you do not you will answer to me that I promise you," she said but despite the power in those words Vippy and the others stood up to face her.

"No-one will ever hurt our male again while we still draw breath, we avenged his wounds in blood once we shall never have to do so again, that we promise you" the said matching Tik's powerful tone.

Tik eleth Mason clicked her mandibles and nodded, "You were right my beloved one, these Raptorian girls are little firecrackers, they would do well in the Clan, I like them" she said with a laugh and Jack Mason flashed them a wide toothy smile.

"See? Told you, they're like little scaley Yautja" he said and Tik roared with laughter before shooting Smoke's defiant pride an approving glance.

"That they are my love, that they are," she said and with that, she closes the door leaving Smoke and his pride in peace.

Smoke's pride returned to their spots but Smoke could feel a kind of tension in them, "What's up my little loves?" he asked and Vippy looked at him.

"Was she questioning our ability took look after you?" they asked and Smoke chuckled softly.

"No not at all and before you ask no she doesn't blame you for me getting shot, Tik eleth Mason is about as direct as they come, it's kinda a Yautja thing, they say what they think and don't hold back, its how they are, she was simply stating her stance, our Grand Patriarch is the same way but he's a little more tactful about things, Tik hits like a brick to the mouth, that's just how she is, if she truly didn't believe you could look after me that's exactly what she would have said, infact the opposite is true in that she told you to look after me meaning she has faith in your ability to do so, she was just making her point clear of what happens to those who would disrespect a Clan member like that, trust me you're fine, she likes you after all," he said smiling.

His pride visibly seemed to relax as the thought that his Grand Matriarch didn't believe that they could look after their pride male was obviously weighing on them, "When this is all over I'm going to put in a request to take you all to my home so you can see what it is like, not just so you can understand us better but you can see our home and to know what it's like to walk freely upon it without fear because once you set foot on Clan Mason soil, you are protected" Smoke said proudly.

His whole pride smiled brightly, "We'd like that very much Smoke, we'd like to see the place that raised the beauty that we now call our own" they said and Smoke smiled back.

"Goddess only knows how I'm going to explain to my parents or my siblings that I got married without them being there, my sisters were really looking forwards to coming to my mate hunt, I'm gonna get ear bashed to hell and back," he said never losing his smile as he thought of his family.

"We cannot wait to meet them and to thank them for bringing the beautiful male that we now call our own into this world for us to love and cherish," they said.

"Hey that reminds me I'll have to meet your folks too, boy that's going to be one hell of a family get together I'd imagine, six different prides plus extended family from siblings etc," Smoke said and they all laughed.

"Oh trust us our darling prince, you have no idea," they said grinning at him.

Vippy leaned down gently lifting Smoke's head and she pressed her little snout to his face to lock him in an upside-down kiss, he felt her long slender tongue slip into his mouth and the taste of her sweet saliva coated his tongue, when they parted she looked up and Freeda nodded before standing up and moving to lock the door, Smoke instantly clocked what was about to happen and he smiled softly.

"Are you sure this is a good idea? I mean you girls seem to believe I'm made of glass so aren't you worried you might break me?' he teased softly and Vippy gave him an evil upside down grin.

"Trust me, we know how to be gentle when we need to be, plus you've already proved you're tougher than you look" they shot back and he chuckled as he felt little hands beginning to undo his undersuit as his armour was out for repair by the Savior on-site engineering team that had come down after Tik.

The girls gently peeled the suit off him discarding it to one side, no sooner had it gone than those little hands were back but this time they were stroking his now exposed flesh seemingly savouring every single inch of him.

Smoke felt little tingles all over him from their dull little claws causing his nerves to light up, suddenly he could also feel hot sucking little kissed being planted on him, more than a few were around both his wound sites, it seemed that all of them really did feel bad about him being wounded and while he knew that it wasn't their fault he also knew that no matter what he said they also blamed themselves for it happening.

In their eyes he belonged to them so they were solely responsible for his safety, he was their pride male and husband so it was their duty to protect him from all harm and to keep him safe and happy, they saw these battle wounds as a failure to do so, he knew it was in their nature and their culture but it still hurt him that they were feeling both bad and responsible for this, because to him war wounds were a symbol of a battle hard fought and won.

It was part of the Yautja culture that bled into the pot that makes Clan Mason what it is, but they too believed that you had a sacred duty to protect the one you love and to do everything in your power to not only protect them from harm but to keep them happy and joyful for their entire lives at your side, which was what was firing up inside Smoke right now, the worry that his wounds were making his little scaly loves sad.

So Smoke leaned up against the weight of their restraint and swiftly pulled each of them into a deep passionate kiss one after the other gazing into their bright eyes to show them both his happiness and lack of pain, to show them that he was indeed happy and that he would have it no other way than to live, fight and if needed die right here at their sides where he belonged, just as a husband and proud Clan Mason man should.

It worked, as he kissed each one of them he saw each little Raptorian relax somewhat, he saw the nervous tension in them bleed out and be replaced with a form of joyous serenity as they realised their male was still truly happy with them, that he was not laid here suffering because of them or any imagined failure.

The momentary distraction also allowed him to wiggled his arms free and they made a beeline for the nearest one who just happened to be Freeda and with expert precision, they scooped up the little Raptorian and hoisted the surprised female onto him as she tried to crawl her way back to his leg, unfortunately for her she did a very silly thing in presenting too tempting a target for Smoke in that she was on all fours crawling away from him, waving both her shapely tail and equally shapely rear at him.

The surprised little Raptorian found herself straddled on his stomach while his nimble fingers slid over her disabling her ability to run away by short-circuiting her brain with pleasure as they crawled over her hips up her stomach and over her small pert breasts.

Her feather all ruffled and quivered as she made a delightful trill of unexpected pleasure which distracted her long enough for Smoke to undo her undersuit and peel it down to her waist, none of the other girls tried to intercede to save their sister from the all-conquering human hands that slid back up their sister's bare scales to her breasts again, each one finding a delightful little bullet of hardening flesh to play with.

Once again Freeda's pleasure-filled trills filled the air, with a bit of precision wheedling and manoeuvring Smoke managed to get her to lay down on her front along him so he could peel the rest of her suit off along with the underwear it hid leaving one very naked and somewhat confused Raptorian straddling his ribs wondering what happened to her clothes and how did she get here, but before she could collect her thoughts Smoke struck.

Gripping her shapely hips Smoke pulled her backwards tucking her legs under his armpits and lifting his head as her large feet appeared on either side of it slotting in-between Sema's legs, with a swift but gentle push Smoke pushed Freeda's top half down towards his stomach and with his other hand he got hold of her tail and lifted it making Freeda release that surprised beep noise they made when you lifted their tails.

But it was too late for her, all the alarm calls in the world weren't going to save her now, Smoke's face slotted in-between her glorious scaly orbs and his lips found her lower ones creating a perfect kissing seal between the two as his tongue darted out and found hot sweet feminine flesh to feast upon.

Freeda just melted, becoming a scaly mess upon his chest as his tongue glided over her flesh savouring the honey-sweet flavour that it was coated in, Freeda began trilling and being and her feathers went haywire, ruffling and dancing as her brain tried in vain to make sense of all the sensations it was receiving all at once.

"O-O-O-Our male! Ohhhhhh our glorious male! How do you do this to meeeee!?" Freeda wailed in pure ecstasy.

"Human magic" Smoke said in a husky voice between kisses and licks.

"Dark magic more like, renders strong powerful warrior females powerless before its might" Sema chuckled as she tried to avoid her pride sister's tail which was whipping about as her brain short-circuited.

Smoke was so focused on pleasing Freeda that he hadn't noticed the others stripping off all around him, infact it wasn't untill he felt his own underwear being pulled tenderly down his legs that he realised they'd even moved, not that he could see a lot beyond the two scaly orbs either side of his face or the fleshy pink triangle hidden directly under Freeda's tail with the little hole that was blowing him kisses with every pulse of pleasure and contraction of her powerful internal muscles.

Suddenly he felt his hands being lifted and kissed by two sets of lips to each hand, long nimble tounges coiled and wormed between his fingers while another set of lips kissed their way up each of his legs in turn, hands glided ahead of them guiding the kissing soft lips and the soft tongue that licked his flesh to their target which they now cupped tenderly and caressed gently.

Dull little claws traced the throbbing pulsing vein right up and along his shaft sending sparks of pleasure fizzing into his brain, "Our glorious male is not the only one who knows how to do a sneak attack" Uma's voice came from beyond Freeda and before he could say a word his manhood was plunged into heaven as her nimble tongue wrapped around it peeled back his foreskin and pulled his him into her mouth.

Smoke gasped in pure heaven as he felt his sensitive glans graze the roof of her mouth and he felt the pressure of her sucks, the other girls were sucking on his fingers now as well making his brain go into overload as he feeling of so many little tounges gliding over his most sensitive nerves made it go haywire as it tried to understand the sensations.

But Smoke dug in deep, he quickly dug Freeda's little clit out of its fleshy hood and swirled his tongue all over it sucking on it as he did, the trill that escaped her as he did was music to his ears, he utterly adored making these beautiful girls feel this way, to get them to let their guards down and let him please them was honestly his life's truest joy, to know that at their most vulnerable they utterly trusted him with their whole selves made him happier than words could ever express.

Freeda suddenly let out a strangled cry of pure ecstasy and a flood of honey-sweet juice flooded Smoke's mouth as he plunged his tongue inside her, Freeda seemed to be ridged one moment and then a bag of jelly contained in supremely pretty scales as she collapsed on him before sliding off and flopping down onto her back at his side where she gibbered away happily to herself.

Smoke licked his lips and grinned evilly at his other girls, "Right who's next for some human dark magic?" he said with a grin.

But as it turned out he was in for a dose of Raptorian magic, because Uma had not given up her mission and with a deft flick of her tongue over his glans his mind shorted out, so even as Skeeva was sliding herself onto his chest a low long moan escaped him followed by a loud growl as an explosion tore from him and right into her greedily sucking mouth.

Uma drew every single drop from him milking him with her tongue, infact his last moan was cut short because as his mouth opened to release it Skeeva's tail hole found his lips and the pair locked in a deep salacious kiss making the beautiful Raptorion's trill of pure pleasure drown him out, she'd definitely discovered something new about herself at the hands of her human husband, something she would have never expected in a million years.

Smoke's manhood was not given a single moment to rest because no sooner had Uma's mouth released it than another tongue attacked it, starting at his balls and working its way up, but once the blood refilled it wasn't a mouth it was slid into, it was tight an pure feminine ecstasy.

It was Vippy of course, he should have expected nothing less from his boldest wife, he felt her hands grip his belly as she slid herself down his shaft determined to take every single inch of his hot throbbing human flesh into her reptilian feminine depths.

Smoke felt her silk soft flesh moulding itself around him, gripping him tightly from all sides adapting and contorting around him as he stretched her open, he eventually felt her tail hole kiss his balls and Vippy let out a deep powerful growl of purest pleasure, "We are one once again our male! This is how it is meant to be! All of us together as one! A perfect pride! Our perfect pride!" she growled loudly.

As she was doing this Smoke felt his hands being guided between two sets of thighs to the silky soft, boiling hot and sopping wet treasures hidden between, he fumbled blindly seeking entry to them until his fingers found what they were desperately seeking and two beautiful feminine trills of pleasure musically told his ears he'd found what he sought.

The only one that hadn't joined in thus far was Sema, but as the group's sniper she was also the most patient, she was waiting her turn with a plan in mind and a rather smart one at that.

Vippy was obviously acutely aware of Smoke's injuries so rather than unleash on him with the powerful passion that he'd come to expect from her she showed him her other side instead, choosing to make slow, sweet, gentle love to him instead of unleashing on him, she began a slow gentle rhythm, withdrawing him so that only his tip remained inside her before gliding back down his sensitive flesh sending powerful pulses of pleasure along his nerves.

Out of all the girls going at him, Vippy lasted the longest, with Uma the first to fall to his nimble fingers, followed by Skeeva to his ever questing tongue and finally Lima also to his fingers, then just Vippy remained upon him, his view of his beautiful Raptorian wife now utterly free and he got to watch her exquisite beauty as she rode him with such gentle care and precision.

His eyes drank in every flex of her scaly hide, every bunch of those incredibly powerful muscles, every flutter of those oh so pretty feathers, every smile, every wink, every look of happiness and pleasure so raw and pure that his heart turned to a molten puddle in his chest, these were scaly angels from beyond the stars, made by a deity that was not his own and brought to him by the whim of fate, delivering him into their waiting arms and hearts, this was love, pure and simple.

Vippy's pace increased as she neared her edge, "Ohhh our male, ohhh our beautiful male, I'm so close, I'm so very close, together, please let us finish together as one!" she moaned softly gritting her teeth and lowering her head as her body readied itself, Smoke was never one to refuse a request from a loved one, with with a cry of purest pleasure and primal joy the pair of them climaxed together as one.

Vippy flopped on his chest and he leaned into the deep kiss she pulled him into, "Our male, our love, our purest heart, never let us go, be here forever at our sides, I was so utterly and completely scared when I saw you fall, it filled my heart with a fear I've never known before, please never leave us, please I beg of you" Vippy said in a supremely vulnerable voice that melted Smoke from the inside out.

He wrapped his arms tightly around his scaly little love, "I couldn't even if it was my wish to, you all stole my heart and now you have it it is your to keep forever even into the Eternal Hunt or the Golden Garden, together we will all be, for eternity my purest of hearts" he said making Vippy sniff softly as she fought back the tears that Smoke instantly kissed away for her.

Once Vippy had collected herself enough she slid off him and joined her sisters in their bliss and Smoke turned over onto his belly to face the last remaining one of his wive with a curious look, "What's wrong Sema? It's not like you to not join in?" he said sounding a little worried and concerned.

But she simply smiled at him and leaned in to kiss him, "Oh there is nothing wrong my heart, I was simply watching and waiting, I know it sounds selfish and to my most beloved sisters I apologise but I wanted my time with you to be one on one tonight, I wanted to focus solely on you and have you focus solely on me" Sema said softly as she glanced apologetically at her sisters who simply smiled at her.

"As long as you consent to us doing the same from time to time beloved sister then there are no apologies or worries needed, enjoy him and relish him as he relishes you," they said.

Sema gently pulled Smoke to her bringing him up onto his knees to kiss him deeply as she wrapped her arms around him, Smoke relished the feel of her tongue coiling itself around his and the sweet taste of her saliva in his mouth, before slowly wrapping his arms around her and running his hands up her scaled back, letting his fingers bump over every scale in their path.

He felt Sema press herself against him and he looked down right into her beautiful bright eyes, he felt like he was staring into the heart of the universe reflected in those beautiful eyes, "I love you so much Smoke, I simply don't have the words to tell you how much you mean to me and to all of us, you have dropped into our lives like a bomb from the sky and blown us all away, I never dreamed that we would fall so hopelessly in love with a member of another species but from the moment I laid true eyes upon you I just knew" she whispered into his chest and Smoke kissed he top of her scaly head.

"As did I my little love, as did I" he whispered back.

Sema gently pulled him down towards her laying herself down as she did and pulling him atop her, "Take me my love, please take me, I want to feel you so badly, I want to look up and see nothing but the male I love, to feel your weight and your heat bearing down on me, to feel utterly powerless under the weight of your love, please show me how it feels" Sema said in a soft breathless voice.

How could Smoke refuse a plea like that? She looked so utterly vulnerable looking up at him with her arms wrapped around his neck, he kissed her again deeply, feeling each of her spiky little teeth with his tongue, before lining himself up with her feeling her legs on either side of his hips, her clawed feet were facing the ceiling now as he pulled her into position, felt her long tail between his thighs curl up along his spine to stroke the back of his neck, she wanted to feel like his only one tonight, so he would make her feel like they were the only two in the universe.

Smoke teased her swollen scaly outer lips with his once again swollen manhood, it was getting used to having to recharge and jump back into action again and again he thanked the Eternal Huntress silently for a Hunter's stamina, he desperately didn't want to let her down.

Those very same lips once again peeled his foreskin back as his tip slipped between them finding purchase between her silken flesh as it sought its fleshy molten hot burrow, then with the determination of an animal bolting for home to escape a vicious predator it found home and dove right in.

Sema trilled in delight as he sank into her depths, as his masculine flesh parted her feminine flesh, she wrapped her legs around his hips as he hilted inside her and buried her face into his chest, it felt like he had a little scaley monkey hanging from him as he began to rock out a rhythm, using her own weight to counterbalance her by lifting her slightly off the bed and simply swaying in place letting her hand from him, it worked beautifully and soon the air was filled with the wet slaps of skin on scales as he drove himself into her over and over, his sensitive flesh grinding along inside her generating the sweetest of frictions.

Sema's internal muscles were working overtime trying to draw him back in every time he pulled back to escape, she was moaning and trilling under him clinging to him as tightly as she could, suddenly an idea stuck Smoke and she lowered himself somewhat resting the top of his head against the pillows and using it and his neck to take some of his weight while wrapping his arms around the little Raptorian pinning her against him tightly while also pinning her against the mattress.

Now the thrusts were much deeper and Sema yelled out in surprise and pure ecstasy as his tip kissed her womb over and over again, now she was trapped against him with nowhere to go and no way of fighting back, she was just as helpless under the weight of his love as she'd asked to be, the others all watched in fascination as Smoke pounded himself into Sema with deep relentless stokes that make his balls clap against her tail hole making a wet slap noise as they did.

Smoke looked under him and saw Sema utterly lost in pleasure, she's gone utterly cross-eyed and was kissing and licking his chest without even being focused on it, it was like her beautiful mind had ceased to work correctly and now she was a being of pure instinct, all her higher brain functions having shut off and melted away in a sea of pure human-induced pleasure.

Though to be fair he wasn't exactly in a Citrus Hive scape of higher thought process himself, his mind was utterly mushed by the truly incredible sensations of his manhood being sucked upon by boiling hot feminine flesh with every thrust, he was getting dangerously close but by the squeaky trills, she was making with every deep thrust he knew she was as well and pretty soon he dug in and just went for it, hammering against her womb with short powerful thrusts that made a popping noise as his balls kissed her tail hole over and over.

Sema just lost her mind, she screamed in pure pleasure and dug her claws into his back, though thankfully only the dull ones on her hands as her foot claws raked the air above his back, her tail tightened against his spine in order to push him as deep as he would go and with a roar Smoke emptied a giant jet of hot human seed right into her reptilian womb utterly filling her to the brim and making her till even louder.

Smoke collapsed into a hot sweaty heap atop Sema who instead of being uncomfortable by the weight of her human husband atop her tightened her grip to ensure he would not pull off her, she held him in place so he couldn't pull out, she wanted desperately to be joined to him for as long as their bodies would allow, this effort was aided by her sisters swarming in form all sides and worming themselves into their little ball of love and helping to hold Smoke in place within her.

"Was that everything you hoped for my little love?" Smoke asked when his brain remembered that he was an evolved creature with the ability to form complex speech.

"There simply are no words to describe to you how perfect that was or how you are our beautiful male, so I'll simply say thank you for being you," Sema said softly into his chest.

"A sentiment we all echo," Vippy said from his right.

"Agreed" Lima said from the left.

"I'm not perfect my little loves, I just want to do my very best for you all as it is all I can give and all that you deserve for loving me as you do," Smoke said softly.

"Not true our little prince, you are the price of your hearts, the royalty that rules there and who sits upon a throne of our happiness that he made for himself by loving us as you do, long live the prince and long live our king of hearts," they all said together making tears form in Smoke's eyes, he simply didn't have the words to express the joy they made him feel, but something told him in all of their bright beautiful eyes, they already knew.

Eventually Smoke and Sema slipped apart as biology did its thing and the girls formed a scaly living bed for him all around him, not a single part of him was laid on the mattress as they were utterly determined that as they put it, their prince would sleep on a bed made of love, so with a pillow formed by Vippy's soft belly Smoke snuggled into his girls and let sleep claim him lulled in by the lullaby of six beautiful hearts beating all around him.
