AUTHOR'S NOTES
Takes place in about a year after the movie ended. I've been working on this on and off for about a month so I fully admit the pacing might be off. WARNING: THIS CONTAINS EXPLICIT SEXUAL CONTENT BETWEEN TWO CONSENTING WOMEN
Namaari stared at the closed door, her mouth dry and her heart thumping wildly in her chest. What was she doing? A thumb ran across the cork of one of Fang's most delicious, and expensive, bottles of sweet rum. She glanced down at the bottle and wondered for the hundredth time that night if this was a great idea. It wasn't, she knew. It wasn't even a good idea. But it was the best shot for peace that Fang had.
Namaari heaved a long sigh and her eyes trailed down past the bottle in her hands to the twin blades hanging at her hips. She had been well aware of the weight of the swords as she walked through the halls of the Fang Palace to this room. Despite the coil tightening uncomfortably in her belly, the corner of her lips lifted into a grin as she looked at the ornately carved hilts of her new swords. One was of a prowling serlot indigenous to Fang and the other a graceful bronze dragon. They were a gift from the princess of Heart and Sisu.
The budding warmth was drowned out by the thought of the legendary dragon that was through that damned closed door. "Sisu," Namaari whispered, tasting the name on her tongue.
How in the world was she going to do this? She should just turn back and forget this ridiculous plan. Tell her mother that she failed. No. She had to do this. Namaari's eyes slid shut as she recalled the unbearably awkward conversation she had with Chief Virana two hours prior.
XXXX
Namaari's mouth fell open as she stared wide-eyed at the chief of Fang who stood across the table in Fang's meeting chambers. She must have misheard her mother. There was absolutely no way she could have said that.
Chief Virana had spent decades schooling her face so no hint of discomfort was displayed when she should be seen as the powerful and stoic leader of Fang. She took great pride in the fact that her subjects have often compared her face to a mask, never giving away anything she didn't want to. Her daughter would do well to take some lessons from her, especially now. Abject shock was written so clearly on her face, Namaari might as well been shouting it at her. "Do you understand what I am asking of you?" she asked softly. Chief Virana ignored how her voice wavered ever so slightly. This was a pragmatic decision, her emotions and misgivings should not sway her.
Just for an instant, Namaari could read unease in her mother's eyes. But then the instant was gone and Chief Virana was back, waiting patiently for Namaari to answer. She had to glance away as her face flushed deep red. "You want me to seduce Sisu. Sisu the dragon," she added, as if to remind her mother exactly who Sisu was.
"Yes," Chief Virana said, the fingers of her right hand twitching as if to hold tighter a staff she no longer possessed. Without the fragment of the dragon gem, it would have appeared more of a cane than an object of power so she had no use for it. "Sisudatu and her guardian, the Heart Princess Raya, are staying in Fang tonight before beginning their journey to Heart in the morning."
All this Namaari knew. They had discussed the visit in great length a week before the two stepped foot in Fang. Sisu and Raya had been visiting all the different lands to see how they were fairing after the Druun were banished and Kumondra was once more. Fang was their last stop and their longest, owing to the reconstruction of the palace. Initially, they had planned to only stay a few days but they had insisted on helping the builders any way they could.
It had been nice reconnecting with Raya, Namaari couldn't stop the errant thought. It was as if they never stopped being friends. It was almost frightening how easy it was to talk to the other princess, to share jokes and swap tales of when they both traveled Kumondra, Raya searching for Sisu and Namaari chasing her for stealing a dusty old scroll. And wherever Raya went, Sisu was right next to her. It had taken a day for Namaari to stop greeting Sisu with the formal gesture and each time, Raya had quirked an eyebrow or chuckled softly. Sisu had been easy to talk to too, she was so cheerful and friendly that Namaari soon separated the mighty Sisudatu she had poured untold hours reading about and the Sisu who was quick to crack a joke or dash off suddenly whenever she smelled something delicious cooking.. When Namaari had introduced them to her serlot, Korra, Sisu had instantly taken to her. Five minutes after they had met, Sisu was rubbing Korra's belly as the cat purred happily, much to Namaari's astonishment. Korra never let anyone but Namaari touch her belly.
"Namaari?"
The princess started, realizing she had become lost in her own memories. Recovering instantly, she nodded at the bottle of rum sitting on the table. There was even a light blue bow that matched Sisu's mane. "You wish for me to give Sisu that bottle of rum as a parting gift and use it as an excuse to get her drunk?" That bit of trickery left a very bitter taste in her mouth.
"No," Chief Virana exclaimed. "We should not act so crass with her. Use the gift as an excuse to speak with her about visiting Heart. Perhaps mention that you have never tasted Heart's wines. If Raya is present, she would surely take the chance to invite you to travel back with them."
Namaari could see the plan unfolding. "During our travels, you wish for me to get closer to Sisu and seduce her."
Chief Virana nodded and Namaari noted that the muscles around the other woman's mouth and neck were taught. "As you know, the other chiefs still do not trust us and have not forgotten that it was Fang who first made a bid to steal the Dragon Gem." Namaari could barely hear her mother mutter under her breath bitterly, "Even though they were quick enough to take a piece when it was broken." Namaari was just grateful that her mother skipped over the fact that she shot and killed Sisu when Raya and her group first came to Fang for the last piece of the gem. Chief Virana continued in her normal tone, "We have a tenuous peace with all but Heart and there are even rumors of rebellions brewing in Talon and Spine. They want us to pay for Fang's past actions."
"But that would ruin us," Namaari interrupted. Fang was already struggling to rebuild its own city and the treasury was nearly empty.
Again Chief Virana nodded grimly. "We must show that we regret our past mistakes and that moving forward, we will walk hand-in-hand with the newly returned dragons. Fang has already cut our export taxes on our olives and rum and we've swallowed the spike in prices for good bamboo from Spine and fruits from Talon, but it is not enough."
"Which is where I come in," Namaari said softly.
Chief Virana opened her mouth to say something, anything to comfort her daughter. But for the first time in a very, very long time, nothing came to her.
"If I become Sisu's consort, Fang will be safe," Namaari said for Chief Virana. "No chief would dare risk the dragons' wrath by attacking Sisu's consort's homeland." She looked down at the map on the table between them. It was so new that the edges didn't even have the time to curl up yet. There were no more borders between lands but the map wasn't the people. No matter how loudly the chiefs exclaimed, Komundra was far from reality. "If I don't strengthen our alliance with the dragons, Fang will only have Heart as a true friend." She looked up from the map and saw her mother's shoulders slump, as if all the weight of Fang was finally taking its toll. Namaari noticed not for the first time the wrinkles that marred the corners of Chief Virana's eyes. She moved to the other side of the table and grabbed one of her mother's hands. "I'll do it for Fang. For our people."
There were equal parts of relief and apprehension in Chief Virana's eyes. "Thank you, Namaari."
XXXX
Namaari's eyes opened as the memory floated away. "For Fang," she murmured as she lifted a fist and knocked. The sound echoed but she couldn't hear any footsteps, human or dragon, coming to answer the door. She waited another ten seconds before knocking again, a little harder this time. She clutched at the bottle, wishing she could open it and take a swig. What if Sisu and Raya decided to leave early? A princess might have to uphold the courtesies of royalty and stay the night but if a dragon wanted to leave, there was not much anyone could do to persuade her not to.
"I can do this," Namaari took a deep breath and turned the knob. It wasn't locked. She opened it slowly and peaked inside.
Sisu and Raya were given very spacious and lavish quarters within Fang's palace. It could house an entire family quite easily, and have space left over for another to move into the spare rooms. Namaari's eyes widened in dread when she caught sight of the giant bed situated in what was supposed to be the living room. None of their scrolls had suggested whether or not dragons slept in beds so they had decided to take no risks in insulting Sisu and built one fit for her size, which of course could only be placed in the large living room. Human or dragon, however, there was nobody in the bed.
"Sisu? Raya?" Namaari called out softly as she entered the room. She found nobody and she didn't hear anyone coming out of one of the other rooms to greet her. Her eyes drifted to the twin glass doors that led to the balcony. Perhaps Sisu did sleep outside.
She took a step forward to investigate but a noise halted her advance. Her head snapped to the right and she noticed the door to the master bedroom was just so slightly ajar. With silent feet, she moved to the living room table and set the bottle down with barely a clink. Her hands dashed down to grasp her blades' hilts. The dragon and serlot carvings felt strangely warm against her palms and she took strength from them. Namaari went to the door and cautiously peaked inside.
No wonder nobody came to let her in. Sisu and Raya were far too engrossed to have heard her knock and call out. That was lucky for her because a gasp left her lips before she could stifle the noise.
Raya had gasped at the same moment, although hers was from pleasure rather than shock. She was naked on the bed, underneath an equally naked Sisu. Raya's legs were locked around Sisu's lower back as her nails dug into Sisu's shoulders. Namaari could see the chords in Raya's throat as she threw back her head, her right hand slapping down over her mouth to muffle a moan as her eyes slid shut in her pleasure. But she could clearly hear the slapping sounds as Sisu's hips met Raya's as well as the wet sounds of the toy going in and out of Raya.
Namaari's mouth dropped open as her eyes refused to move from the scene. She watched Sisu take the opportunity to nip at Raya's exposed neck as she angled her hips to drive the toy deeper into the other woman. Sisu was growling softly as she fucked Raya. Even in her human form, some of the dragon leaked out. Namaari's lower stomach dropped in arousal, the grips on the hilts of her swords loosening as she continued to watch. She knew she shouldn't. She should turn around and leave, forget what she was seeing. But it was like she turned into stone, she couldn't tear her gaze away.
"Nobody can hear us."
Namaari tensed in terror before she realized that Sisu was talking to Raya. The dragon in human form had pulled back just enough so she could look down at Raya fully. Raya shook her head even as a particularly loud groan was muffled with her hand. Sisu grinned and rolled her hips just right and Namaari saw Raya's thighs jump as her hips instinctively matched the motion.
"You're so pent up, Ray," Sisu murmured, brushing a strand of hair off Raya's forehead. "What's wrong?"
Raya removed the hand over her mouth as she opened an eye to glare up at Sisu. "You really want to, fuck, talk about this now?" The question might have been taken more seriously if Raya hadn't moaned in the middle of it.
Sisu shrugged and the grin didn't leave her face. "Why not?" Namaari had the sneaking suspicion that Sisu had waited for this moment to ask that question. When Raya didn't offer an answer, Sisu bent down to nuzzle against Raya's neck. "I know you've been tense being in Fang and seeing Namaari again."
Namaari glanced away from the scene before her as a flash of pain pierced her heart. She couldn't blame Raya for not wanting to see her, not after everything, but she thought that they made so much progress in the last few days.
"You don't have to be," Sisu continued, leaning back up again to cup Raya's cheek. The grin turned soft as the princess pressed her face into the gentle caress. "She's our friend now. We can trust her."
"I know," Raya gasped, tightening her legs around Sisu's back as her hands flashed down to grip the covers. "I know we can trust Namaari." She looked down to watch the toy plunge in and out of her. She couldn't last long now, not with Sisu angling her thrusts just right. "Please, Sisu. I'm close."
Namaari gulped at the sound of Raya's plea. She never heard the princess beg like this, not even when during the times they fought. She suddenly became aware how uncomfortable her pants were, she felt too warm. Subconsciously, her right hand had fully let go of her sword and inched closer to the hem of her pants. Namaari forced it back to her side, clenching her fingers into a fist and letting the sting of her nails bring her back to reality. She couldn't risk pleasuring herself here, no matter how much she wanted to.
A low snarl brought Namaari's attention back to the couple on the bed. While she was distracted by her own arousal, Raya had rolled the two of them over so she was now on top and riding the toy. Sisu had sat up and dug her fingers into Raya's ass, her lips parted in a feral snarl before her face was hidden from Namaari as Sisu buried it into the crook of Raya's neck.
"Careful!" Raya grunted, a hand tangling itself into the back of Sisu's wild hair. "Don't leave any, wow, marks." She wrapped her legs again around Sisu's back as she rocked her hips down.
"Won't," Sisu grunted, clearly having difficulty speaking in this state. There won't be anymore teasing or questioning now, Namaari thought. Sisu thrust up to meet Raya's rhythm, doing her best to let Raya take control of the pace.
Raya nodded to show she understood. She held Sisu to her with one hand as the other slipped between their bodies.
Namaari knew that Raya was rubbing at her own clit from the way she gasped and shuddered in Sisu's arms. She watched avidly as the princess came apart. Raya had gasped out something that could have been Sisu's name as her legs clenched around Sisu. The dragon lost whatever control she had left because she shoved Raya back down onto the bed and thrust hard and fast into the princess. Namaari felt a stirring of concern for the other woman but Raya appeared to enjoy the roughness immensely. Raya pulled Sisu's head down to share a clumsy kiss as she rode through the orgasm.
Eventually both women calmed enough for Sisu to pull out. Raya murmured something sleepily when the kiss finally broke but Sisu only flashed her an almost animalistic grin. Namaari gasped a second time but Raya's shout of surprise drowned it out. Sisu had flashed down Raya's body faster than any human could. She pushed Raya's legs apart and buried her head in between.
"Sisu!" Raya cried out, her hands dashing down to grip at Sisu's hair. "Please, I can't, oh toi, Sisu I can't." The statement would have held more weight to them if Raya's hips hadn't started to grind desperately against Sisu's mouth. Raya lifted her head from the bed to watch Sisu pleasure her, her mouth open and moaning freely, any concern of keeping quiet long gone.
Namaari could never have imagined the way Raya sound at that moment, even in her most wildest and confusing dreams when she chased the Heart Princess across the lands. Her hand had drifted again to her crotch and this time she allowed the fingers to cup herself through her pants. Her other hand covered her mouth to muffle any sounds that might escape her as the fingers moved slowly over her sex. Namaari whimpered even at that faint touch, her legs shaking slightly.
Raya was having a much harder time keeping still. Namaari could see the muscles in her stomach clench and tremble as Sisu licked her sex. The dragon in human form must have done something especially exquisite because Raya's eyes snapped open where they were squeezed shut just a moment ago. She sat up on the bed suddenly, her hands clenching at Sisu's head. "Sisu, yes. Oh toi, yes!" Raya let go of Sisu's head to brush her own hair away from her face where it stuck from the sweat. The hand traveled down to cup and squeeze her own breast, pinching the nipple and rolling it. "I'm close! So close, Sisu."
It didn't take long after Raya's warning for the Heart Princess to reach her climax. Unlike before, her body couldn't seem to stop moving. She cried out something that might have resembled Sisu's name as she was practically fucking herself on Sisu's tongue.
Namaari marveled at the fact Sisu could still hold Raya's legs apart through the orgasm, even if she still possessed her awesome strength as a human. She had to bite down on a knuckle as the fingers of her other hand found her clit. Despite her undergarments and pants in the way, it was enough to make her whimper. Just for an insane moment, she thought of strolling into the room and asking Sisu to do the same thing she did for Raya on her. The impulse went away soon enough, although the arousal the thought conjured stayed.
While Namaari struggled with her desire, Raya calmed. She laid on the bed, her body utterly limp but she wore a very satisfied grin. Namaari was shocked to see tears at the corners of Raya's eyes. Sisu gave Raya's sex one more lap before she began to kiss up Raya's body almost worshipfully. With each kiss, Raya twitched as if her body was still so sensitive to even the lightest touch. Sisu reached Raya's lips and they shared a slow kiss, Raya groaning as she tasted her own cum on Sisu's tongue. When they broke apart, Sisu cupped Raya's cheeks, her thumbs brushing away the tears in Raya's eyes with such a tender look on her face it made Namaari glance away.
"I didn't hurt you, my dragon?" Raya murmured almost too softly for Namaari to hear. A hand ran through Sisu's wild hair where she had gripped it in her pleasure.
The nickname was said with such a sweetness that Namaari nearly snorted but she controlled herself in the last moment. Just for an instant, she mused what Raya would call her if they ever became so close. Most likely 'her serlot.' Namaari ignored how the idea made her heartbeat quicken.
Sisu grinned at the use of the nickname. She shook her head and laid her chin on Raya's chest. "Not at all, rain flower." Unlike Sisu, Raya did roll her eyes at the nickname, not that Sisu minded. To Namaari's surprise, a hint of worry entered her eyes. "I didn't go too far though, before?" She glide a hand down Raya's stomach to emphasize her point. Namaari didn't miss the slight arch in Raya's back and the way her eyes fluttered just a little at the gentle touch. "You didn't say chili peppers so I thought it was fine but," Sisu trailed off, searching Raya's face for any hint of discomfort.
On the other side of the door, Namaari swallowed the third gasp, this one she knew the other two would hear if it left her lips. If they already had established safe words, then how much could they have done? She couldn't help but imagine Raya tied up on the bed, her eyes covered with a strip of silk but her mouth free to make those sweet moans. And perhaps Sisu too, right next to Raya. Namaari thought how delicious it would be for both of them to be at her mercy, wet and begging for the Fang Princess to take them. Her eyes fell on the toy that Sisu still hadn't taken off, thinking how exquisite it would be to fuck Raya with it while she used her tongue on Sisu. Or maybe Namaari would just watch the two have fun, ordering the two so they would both be on the brink of a climax but never reaching it until Namaari believed they earned it.
Namaari's attention was brought back to the present when Raya answered, "You didn't go too far." She stretched on the bed languidly with an arm still wrapped securely around Sisu's waist. "But I'm done for the night. I'm way too sensitive down there for another go."
Sisu chuckled at the answer before nuzzling against Raya's neck. Namaari had to stifle the flash of jealousy at the sight of the two being so cozy together.
Raya murmured something happily as she basked in ecstasy. Sisu pushed the harness down her legs and let it drop to the bed's covers before crawling up to lay on Raya. The princess grinned sleepily and pulled Sisu closer. Namaari heard soft murmurs from Raya but couldn't make out the words. A moment later, Sisu reverted back to her dragon form. She picked up a drowsy Raya and cradled her in her arms.
"You're so lazy," Sisu said affectionately as she slipped off the bed.
When it became clear that Sisu was heading out of the room, Namaari quickly backed away as silently as she could. She just managed to get to the main door and shut it close before Sisu and Raya could see that she was spying on them.
The walk to her own room was a blur. All Namaari could focus on was the way she could feel the slick on the inside of her thighs and remembered the satisfied grin on Raya's face as Sisu carried her. Luckily, she didn't run into any of the guards so she didn't have to explain why she was walking about in the middle of the night.
She kicked the door to her room shut and hurried to her own bed. Her hands dashed down to make quick work of her sword belt but when she pulled it away from her waist, her eyes lingered on the twin blades. They were a gift from Sisu and Raya, she reminded herself. With much care, Namaari laid the twin blades on her nightstand where it would be in easy reach from her bed. She didn't expect any attacks but it never hurt to be cautious.
The rest of her clothing and jewelry were given much less thought as Namaari stripped them off. They made a messy pile next to the bed but Namaari could not find it in herself to care.
She fell onto her bed and made herself comfortable before she trailed her hands down her body. One stopped at her left breast and Namaari's breath hitched as her nails scratched lightly against a hard nipple. She toyed with the nipple, pinching and rolling it as she wondered if Sisu had done the same to Raya before Namaari had accidentally walked in on them. Maybe Sisu used her mouth? And those sharp canines too.
Namaari hissed as her fingernails dug in ever so slightly, adding just the right amount of pain to make her squirm and whine. Her other hand traced the dip in her abs and Namrii's eyelids fluttered at the sudden vision of Raya in bed with her, her feather-light touches running across her muscled stomach.
"Raya," she moaned as her hand finally reached the apex of her legs. She ran her fingers through the damp curls that covered her mound before sliding her fingers along her slit. She was so excited already that the simple touch was enough to make her toes curl in delight. Namaari bit her bottom lip at the thought of Raya teasing her for being so wet so soon. Sisu would be more merciful, although she had been growling when she fucked Raya. Maybe she would be as rough with Namaari. The Fang Princess gasped as she plunged two fingers inside herself, imagining Sisu nipping the side of her neck as she fucked Namaari with the same toy she had used on Raya.
With a curl of her fingers, Namaari found the sweet spot inside her. Her eyes squeezed shut and her back arched. The hand that was toying with her nipple dashed down to grip her thigh as if to cover a hand that should have been there, keeping her legs spread wide to make it easier to fuck her. "Right there!" she cried out, rubbing at the sweet spot as her thumb pressed against her clit. "Sisu, right there please." She liked to imagine the look on Raya's face if she ever heard her beg like this. Her next moan was laced with a laugh. Raya might be too shocked to do anything or she could use it to her advantage. Make Namaari beg some more or even bring her to the brink of her climax and stop so Namaari would be so desperate for that final push.
She could feel the Sisu necklace laying between her breasts. Namaari gripped the dragon pendant with her free hand, the spine and talons of the golden dragon biting into her palm. "Sisu," she breathed and imagined the smirk the other woman wore when she had looked down at Raya as she fucked the princess. It was nothing like the goofy grins Namaari had seen on both forms of the dragon. The way she smiled at Raya was full of desire and hunger. Namaari imagined Sisu looking at her like that, smirking up at her from where she laid between her legs before she bent her neck to use her tongue on Namaari.
It didn't take much longer for Namaari to reach her climax. Her back lifted from the covers as her body trembled from the force of her orgasm. Her eyes stayed shut to better invision Raya and Sisu in bed with her, Sisu's fingers still thrusting as Raya rubbed her clit mercilessly. "Don't stop! Oh toi, please don't stop."
Eventually, her fingers slowed and stilled. Namaari still shivered from the aftershocks of her intense orgasm as she pulled her hand away from her sex. Her face must have gone an even darker shade of red at the sight of her fingers glistening her with slick. Namaari licked them clean, moaning a little at the taste. She wondered what Sisu and Raya tasted like and a sudden thought of the two on the bed again, this time with Raya on her hands and knees, her head tilted down to lick at Sisu's sex as the other woman lifted her head off the bed to taste Raya.
"Fuck," Namaari murmured as she rolled onto her belly, shivering as the cool night air brushed against her back and butt. She could see the nightstand and the swords that lay on top. A lazy smile graced her lips as her eyes followed the curve of the dragon's head. The smile waned as something tickled the back of her mind. Something was missing.
"Fuck!" Namaari pushed herself up as the bliss from her orgasm was washed away. The bottle! That stupid bottle was still in Sisu's and Raya's room! She jumped off the bed and began to hastily put back on her clothing. She just pulled her shirt over her head when she remembered that Sisu had carried Raya to her impromptu bedroom. They were probably cuddling on that giant bed. There was no way Namaari could sneak back in and take the bottle of rum without being discovered. She would have to wait until the morning when they leave and pray to all the dragons that the two don't find the bottle till then. If they did find it, they might work it out that Namaari had snuck into their room while they were having sex. And if they ever realize that Namaari had watched them... Both parts dread and arousal made the Princess of Fang heart beat faster.
Namaari sat back down on her bed, her shoulders slumped in defeat and shock. "Fuck," she breathed, her eyes still wide.
XXXX
Sisu's tail thumped against her oversized bed contently, her chest vibrating from her constant purring. Raya had been lazily running her hand through her thick mane and Sisu never felt something half as wonderful. She wrapped herself more securely around the Princess of Heart and Raya snuggled deeper into the embrace with a happy sigh.
"You're so soft and warm," Raya murmured into the mane. She could very happily stay there for the rest of her life, being held to the dragon's body and listening to Sisu's purring. "I feel so safe like this."
The words made the purring grow even louder. A clawed paw drew random shapes against Raya's naked back, making the Heart Princess giggle. The first time Sisu heard Raya giggle, she had beamed in triumph as Raya's face darkened in embarrassment. It might have been the first time anyone had ever made her fiesty people giggle.
Raya laid her cheek against Sisu's chest so the dragon wouldn't see her red cheeks. Her eyes narrowed as she caught sight of something she knew wasn't there when she and Sisu first stumbled into the room, their hands hastily disrobing the other. "Namaari forgot her bottle," she said lightly.
Sisu turned her head to see the bottle of rum left all alone on the table. "Oh, well maybe we should give it back." She began to unwrap her tail from around Raya's body but a soft growl of, 'Don't you dare,' made her stop. She looked down, amused, at the slight pout on Raya's face.
The Heart Princess snuggled even deeper into Sisu's embrace to ensure the dragon wasn't going to leave the bed. "It's probably a departing gift for us," she explained.
"We didn't get her anything," Sisu exclaimed, a worry glint entering her eyes as the purring ended abruptly. "Or Chief Verana!"she added as an afterthought.
"Guests usually don't give departing gifts to their hosts," Raya said patiently. Sisu relaxed at the words and even more as Raya traced the silver lines on Sisu's shoulder. "Besides, what Namaari saw was enough to be her gift."
The words were said casually but Sisu knew Raya far too well to be fooled. "She stayed," she said, carefully choosing her words. "She watched us for a long while." Sisu ran a comforting hand down Raya's back, following the curve of her spine. She hadn't missed the hint of apprehension in her rain flower's voice. "Namaari could have just dropped off the bottle and left when she saw what we were doing, but she stayed."
Raya considered Sisu's words and nodded. "We could share the rum with her tomorrow." She had planned to say more but a yawn stopped her.
"We'll talk more about it later," Sisu said, rolling over so they were laying on their sides, facing the glass doors to the balcony. "Sleep now." She tilted her head down to bury her nose into Raya's hair. She loved the way her mate smelled. She saw Raya's mouth open, probably to argue that she's not tired at all, but another yawn escaped instead. "Goodnight, rain flower." Sisu watched Raya's eyes slide shut and listened to her breathing deepen as she fell asleep. Raya had once told her that she never slept so peacefully but when she was in Sisu's arms. The knowledge made Sisu begin to purr again and Raya grinned in her sleep. Sisu turned her head to glance at the bottle once more. She wondered if Namaari would like to join them in their fun after they had some of the rum. They would really be best friends forever then.
AUTHOR'S NOTES
So I do have an actual idea for a story with Raya/Namaari/Sisu as a pairing. Basically to booster Fang's reputation and secure a safe future, Namaari tries to become Sisu's consort. She tags along with Raya and Sisu as they travel through the new land of Kumandra and soothe any diplomatic disputes between the chiefs. Sisu also struggles with her more animalistic instincts and begins to see Raya and Namaari as potential mates. And of course there's also going to be a rebellion brewing because screw Fang and all that jazz.
