Kendra ensured that Mia changed out of her uniform since for all she knew there was a throng of Mia fans out there looking for autographs. She already said she was accosted by several the day after the orders shipped.
Changing, for Mia, in the truck proved to be a little tricky when Kendra cuffed Mia in the back and kissed her all over.
Kendra truly missed Mia but didn't want to be sacked just yet since Mia could probably out roll her. That and taking down 'Commander' Tate was more rewarding then she ever imagined.
Mia was lost in lala land as she got the key to her cuffs and undid them to the surprise of Kendra. Mia adroitly cuffed one of Kendra's wrists so that they ended up joined together. They both concluded with hugging each other silently, with Mia wanting to profess how much she loved her and to never leave. As for Kendra, she wanted to be one with her too. All this had to wait since she still needed to hammer out the details of this 'sandwich'.
After their quick spate of hugs and kisses, it didn't take Kendra and Mia long to find a place to eat in the town. It was the only burger joint open in town with a modicum out outside seating.
They dug into their food hungrily with Mia quickly updating Kendra on how the sales were going. To say 'wow' was an understatement to Kendra since she was shocked to know that her solo calendar and souvenirs outsold everything else. What was also interesting was that the calendar shoot with everyone had the most amounts of fan mail and likes for Anjali. Both women and men saw her bravery and courage and applauded her for her strength and beauty. It was nice to know that 'beauty' was more than just skin deep.
Kendra just let her talk since Mia was more comfortable talking getting into the weapons and armor she purchased for the team with the funds from the calendar sales. She also covered that fact that she brought on several ex-mil half Fae on board. It gave the 69th a distinct advantage since not only did they get the best hardware, Mia recruited LOYAL people maybe with some Fae powers without having to go through the Ash or Morrigan. That of course avoided questionable allegiances and the fact that Mia kept scraping the bottom of the Fae barrel. Here she could get from the top of the human barrel and train them accordingly her way.
Impressive, Kendra noted. She turned out to be a solid leader and it rivaled her style. She didn't take it personally though since she had something she needed to broach with Mia anyway.
During a pause, Kendra opening up to Mia, "Mia, I think you should stay commander. It suits you well."
Mia took a drink of her water and just replied waving it off, "Naaaa. I just need it for a couple more weeks to execute raids in my expanded territories. Besides that job is a headache with all the paper work and tons of politics."
"OK, that's fine. Do you think you can go back to the hundred and first now that you are in the Fae world all of a sudden?" Kendra followed up.
Mia paused and thought about it for a second and finally stated, "I don't think so. Everyone knows who I am now and I guess I need to be closer to my new family, I may need to stick around but what and where I have no idea."
"Take command of the 69th or maybe the 39th," Kendra finally offered.
Mia just blurted out but stopped herself, "We'll those are yours….."
Kendra nodded and saw Mia put the pieces together and said, "I don't think I can do this anymore."
"Okkkkkk," Mia was unsure how to take this. Kendra would be leaving the law enforcement arena.
"Just listen to me. I've been thinking about my overall direction in life and I don't think being a gun toting outlaw is the way to go. I need a way to gracefully leave my role in law enforcement," Kendra let the last shoe drop.
"And what of your role within the Burning Cypress Clan?" Mia inquired curiously.
"That I will stay on board Burning Cypress after this storm is over and assuming we are all ok. I will probably take a more of a consultant role. I just need to back my legacy down Mia which is getting people I care about hurt or killed. I hope you understand," Kendra pleaded.
Mia was stunned but understood. Kennie's rampage was finally coming to a close but more so, she was trying to make things right again in her own ways.
Mia bit her lip and queried, "So you'll stay on the force for now until the imminent danger has passed?"
Kendra bit into a fry, "Uh huh. I'd never leave you high and dry."
"So no fading on me ok?" Mia requested almost rhetorically. The last thing she needed was for Kendra to mentally checkout.
"Yes Commander," Kendra saluted her playfully.
Mia just found herself lunging forward to kiss Kendra. She was so cute.
Kendra just chuckled after they broke and mentioned, "You know by you having the 'commander' title, it conflicts with Drake's call sign."
"Yea, Alex and I now call him 'Commandant Cruz'," Mia laughed.
Kendra joined in at Mia's exaggerated Italian twist of the word 'commander'.
Mia was the one who changed tact and said, "Hey I got something for you and Dyson."
"Oh?"
"Yea," Mia pull out of her pocket 2 bright orange translucent, nearly opaque stones in a black velvet box. They were rounded and flat, the size that could easily fit both in palm of one's hand. "These are the Concord Stones. Do you know of them in your readings?"
Kendra looked up briefly to recall, "Yes, they were used during the creation of the armistice. These stones made it possible to meet one another at a common ethereal location. Talk, interact, even touch one another, but no real harm would come to each other if they engaged in physical altercations. If I'm not mistaken, they can only be used a couple hours each week. Ummmm there were 6 of these Stones, 2 were distributed to the Vampires, Aswangs, and Dire Wolf clans. By using these stones, each party was able to meet and talk about the teams of the armistice."
Mia was impressed, Kendra was well read and more or less had the story correct and nodded in agreement.
Kendra then looked at her warily and asked subtly demanding, "These stones are protected like gold in Fort Knox by all the 3 clans under the armistice in the event that hostilities flared up and they needed to talk. How did you get theses?"
Mia smirked with a shrug and said, "They are used not only for the armistice but they allow for diplomatic talks within the clan if civil war broke out. I checked them out since I had the authority to do so, so long as I get them back there by tomorrow. No harm no foul right?"
"Hmmmm ok. So what? Dyson and I can use it, but he's a Dire Wolf," Kendra looked perplexed.
"Heh. The stones allow you to take a form of yourself that you remember. So you will be you and Dyson will be in his human form since that is what he remembers. Since his memory is all there, you can talk to him and be with him as if he shifted back already. Just try it. Ok?" Mia offered. "All you have to do is imagine a place you feel safe and Dyson, who come in later, will meet you there. To wake up before your time runs out, just leave through any door or path. You automatically leave when your time runs out."
Kendra nodded unsure and added, "Is it safe for humans?"
"Yes. Trust me Kennie I tried it this once and Poof… I was on a beach on Fiji."
"And where will you be this whole time?"
"Well we can do it in your hotel room. You guys take the bed just in case you move physically and I'll be at the table to make sure all goes as planned," Mia replied succinctly.
"OK, so you don't mind that most likely I'll be banging D-man the whole time," Kendra asked to gauge Mia.
Mia thought it was rather nice of her to confirm, but Dyson and Kendra HAD to come first. It would give them time to not only 'bond' but to talk as well; probably about her status with them too.
It didn't take long to recall Dyson, he was always nearby and in no time, Kendra was sitting on the bed and Dyson next to her who panted anxiously. He needed no explanation and laying down put his paw on one of the stones. It seemed like he drifted off to sleep.
"Whoa he jumped the gun," Mia laid Kendra back to be comfortable in the bed. "This means that you will join Dyson's place of choice. OK?"
"K"
"Ready?"
Kendra nodded a little apprehensive but before closing her hand on the stone in her hand looked into Mia bright blue eyes into her soul and said in earnest, "Thank you Maria."
Kendra knew that Mia didn't have to do this. She had to have pulled several stings to get these stones. After all, Mia could have just kept Kendra all to herself as long as possible since Dyson was stuck in Dire Wolf form.
"Hey, no problem," Mia said with a slightly nervous laugh but added knowing full well she was devaluing herself in terms of their relationship. "What are Den Mates for right?"
Kendra saw a slight pout in addition to the laugh and immediately knew what Mia was doing. Mia was holding her relationship with Dyson much higher their own and right before Kendra closed her hand around the stone she knew she couldn't leave Mia in this state and stammered, "Mia… I … I love you."
Mia's face brightened up and knew by the way Kendra said it, she amounted to a lot more than a Den Mate.
Kendra batted open her eyes and found herself lying in bed facing away from Dyson in her own guest room. She was wearing her same clothing she went into the dream with, but her mind knew what she was wearing back then and her clothing faded away to a black tank top and underwear.
She remembered this scene vividly. It was when she asked Dyson to stay with her that first night after the Canal Street raid. She was suffering from PTSD symptoms and Dyson was the only person she could trust even though she was trying eradicate all Dire Wolves. Dyson, at that time, was her friend and enemy.
Kendra felt his bare chest against her back and was stroking her tummy.
"Morning," Dyson said behind her.
God he missed just holding her and pulled her in tight taking a big whiff of her hair. Then he moved to kiss her nape.
Kendra smirked and missed him so much she turned around and kissed him profusely in desperation. She was actually holding her true love Dyson.
She broke from barrage of deep sensual kisses she was giving Dyson and ran her hand though this curly hair and said, "I missed you …. The real you so god darn much."
"Hey easy, we have 2 hours. We have time Kendra," Dyson comforted.
Kendra replied quickly grabbing the back of his neck to see her eye to eye just inch from each other, "It's still not enough time."
"It's so good to hold you again my life mate," Dyson confessed.
Kendra melted and effusively relayed with joy, "I love you D-man. I'm sorry I've been a total bitch to you."
"Awwww Don't say that about my wife. She just needed time to work things out," Dyson rubbed her back.
Kendra buried her head to his chest under his chin. She heard his strong beating heart and replied distraught, "No, I was a stupid idiot. Stupid stupid stupid! I blamed you for taking Eric away from me. Then I wanted to use you to kill all your kind. Then by the fucking time I was ready to accept you, you had already shifted into a wolf. I love you ….."
She burst into tears of regret barely able to talk and stammered, "You.. you supported me and gave me ev-everything. And.. and I took and took like a … a crazed narcissist. I … play… played you for an idiot.. and f… fool. I'm . s… so fucking sorry it took me this … this long to come around. Forgive me please."
"Of course, but there is nothing to forgive."
Dyson just held her in tighter to comfort his lover in his strong arms and let her cry it out saying it was ok. She was his and vise versa. They may have had a rocky start, but at least now they got to spend time together. Sure he wasn't in his human form, but LOVE transcended all. That was the beauty of it. It was a universal language that transcended gender, species, and even time itself.
It took some time for Kendra to calm back down and finally wiping the remnants of her tears away finally faced Dyson again and sarcastically mentioned a little embarrassed, "I think I just used up an hour."
Dyson chortled since she only took about 20 minutes and replied, "Naaaa, you take the time you need."
She then rolled on top of Dyson and mentioned grinding on Dyson's hard member though his jeans. He was shirtless at the moment and that was the exact way she remembered this original setting a long time ago. "This feels so real. Mmmmmm. God, with that big bad wolf of yours, you'd be able to tame me…. GOD Dyson you should've fucked the shit out of me that first night."
"Yea, I thought about it a lot," Dyson confessed with his hip thrusting back.
"Oh yea?" Kendra grinded back. "When?"
"Uggggg every time I was alone without you," Dyson grunted.
Kendra stopped abruptly and kissed him passionately. She then told him, "Then make it so. Let's rewrite our history starting now."
She hesitantly added, "Bo told me all your dirty little secrets. You like to pluck your virgins against their own will. I need to you be you. You act like a gentleman to me and… well I know you wanted to tear my clothes off and dominate me. I am so lucky but … but I need to be dominated Dyson. I… I hate driving all the time and I want to submit to you and only you … but… but…"
"But?" Dyson cajoled stroking her arm.
Kendra lay on top of him and whispered meekly into his ear, "I need to act it out. I need to fight you in bed with all I have. I don't want you to stop until you plunder and own me. I want to be …. Be… forced into submission."
Dyson couldn't believe what he was hearing. Kendra yearned to be more than dominated, but forced into subservience. She was asking him to fight her and she would fight him tooth and nail. He thought about it all the time, but if he loved Kendra, he wouldn't dare do such a thing.
"No Kendra, I'm not going to slap you around. Those girls that I took, they meant nothing to me. You are everything to me," Dyson said flabbergasted but Kendra began to grind him once more.
Kendra then straightened up still on top of him. "OK how about this. I warm you up and you jump in whenever you are ready? And let's have a safe word if it gets out of control…. Say the word 'Fig Leaf'. Anyway, what does it matter, we can't physically hurt one another here," Kendra purred undoing his belt then his button.
Dyson was in heaven and his wolf almost burst out when he felt his fly come one done. Kendra never stopped keeping her eyes on him as she yanked his pants off. Then she bent down and after several attempts, fished his hard wolf out of his boxers.
Kendra was amazed since he was already dripping seed. She made sure to lick that off and then murmured, "Wow Dyson, you ARE happy to see me. Oh by the way, Bo told me that when your monk is standing upright with its hood over t head to pull it back…."
Kendra adeptly yanked with one hand with wolf's lose scruff back all the way to the base holding it there and Dyson's reaction was a classic. It was both ultra painful and arousal.
Dyson had no idea was his body was doing but it wanted more.
"Then make sure to rub and scratch and monk's neck juuuuust below the head," Kendra went down and used both her tongue and a little teeth. It worked like a charm when he was bucking out of control and she tasted more of his seed.
She included his head and even bit down on it. Dyson was all hers when she petted it viciously and to her surprised he crested quickly spreading seed all over his chest.
Dyson grunted and yelled on release and Kendra was nice enough to keep the pace going. Bo trained her well. Too well for that matter. For him though Kendra's onslaught wasn't over. Kendra just kept kissing his wolf and it responded once more.
"No more… GOD where did you learn that," Dyson said amazed at Kendra's skill.
Kendra worked his member another way that Bo taught her and kept him at peak on purposed and then in role play growled, "I TOLD you not to read too much into me bedding with you tonight Dyson! You just wanna frack me! How dare you."
"You're too freaking hot," Dyson said in lala land trying to crest once more.
"Now TELL me where is your Dire Wolf Clan HQ!" Kendra demanded. "So I can lay waste to all you fuckers!"
"NEVER!" Dyson replied bucking out of control but Kendra slammed him into the bed more and paused her ministrations.
"TELL ME so I can kill all of you," Kendra growled. "You'll do it since you're one track minded and would do anything to come. Tell me now and I may let you live as my PET."
Dyson had it after a couple more minutes he hulked out and flipped on top of Kendra. She went WILD punching and slapping him but he restrained her. She also did escape moves but he powered her back into place. He wolf was dripping all over her underwear.
Kendra in desperation reached under the bed for her backup knife and it was there and took a swipe at his neck. She would not have done that in reality, but here it was ok.
Dyson responded quickly blocking then pulling the knife away from her. Then in a flash, he tore her tank and underwear off with it.
"Don't you DARE! I'll kill you!" Kendra kept repeating dead in the water but for Dyson, he had already crossed the Rubicon.
He slammed his wolf into her and she screeched in pain. It didn't deter him however and he did it harder and harder until in no time, he released all his seed inside her.
Kendra kept fighting after his peak and he hulked out even more, flipped her over on all fours and attacked her again but from behind. All she could do was take it and come down on her elbows to stop it from hurting as much. He was just way too strong.
Kendra finally gave in and went limp. All the fight was finally out of the stubborn Captain Kendra "Widow Maker" Shaw. She let him have his way with her and he was rough, JUST the way she wanted it.
What made Kendra totally give in was when Dyson gingerly went down on her and brought her to peak several times in slow but rhythmic releases.
HEAVEN and ONENESS came over both of them.
Kendra's tune changing from 'I'll kill you' to 'I'm yours'. 'Don't touch me' was replaced with 'Take me. I love you'. The only thing that stayed consistent was that she cursed like a sailor.
They ended up a hot sweaty mess barely able to catch their breath.
Mia was at the table typing away at her laptop but could not help to observe that Kendra went from crying a couple tears like in a fitful dream like state to fighting for her life, then finally to what seemed like boundless love, pleasure and devotion. It only meant one thing. Dyson was now back in sync with Kendra as it should be. What did that mean for her?
Mia hated to feel like she was voted off the island so she walked outside to the second floor balcony to take in the view of unkempt grounds. Did she even have the right to be in between them?
No. Kendra and Dyson found each other first. Maybe staying when Dyson shifted back wasn't a good idea after all.
Mia just hoped she still had at least a little of the Kennie she grew to love.
Kendra finally caught her breath nuzzling into him feeling the now closer connection she had to him and said, "Thanks Dyson. I needed that. Really badly."
"Did I hurt you?" Dyson asked holding her hand, still both of them lying down in bed staring blankly at the ceiling.
Kendra smirked and pecked him on the cheek quickly, "No D-man. You were perfect. Wow I gotta thank Mia for setting this up."
SPEAKING OF.
"So I assume you haven't told her yet?" Dyson turned to look at Kendra.
"Yes and No," Kendra sat up nude and exhaled, taking a moment to figure out how she needed to pitch it to him.
Dyson sat up curious as well.
"OK. So there are actually 2 options on the table. The one where Mia wants more of me only in which case she needs to back off since I am yours," Kendra mentioned the most obvious.
"The other?"
"If Mia wants more of Me, she needs to give to both of us since we are already bonded together in a manner of speaking. It also means that you can be with Mia too and I'm ok with it," Kendra said watching carefully for Dyson's reaction. He had a poker face on which could mean anything.
Kendra couldn't stand the silence and pleaded, "PLEASE say something Dyson."
Dyson was a little shocked. He didn't see that option coming. So to clarify he said, "So we'd still be officially life mates and Mia would be in this axis unofficially as one too?"
"Yes. That is IF you are ok with it," Kendra clarified seeing Dyson's mind running in overdrive.
Life just kept getting weirder and weirder, Dyson brooded. He didn't mind having Mia by his side but what was Mia to him? She was a good friend. A well connected one that also held up the sanctity of their marriage. She was doing what it took to keep them on track, protect them, even now. She had his unending gratitude for this. It would be wrong to NOT let her try. It was still better than kicking her out when he shifted back.
The bigger question still lingered, did he like Mia sexually? She was attractive and loved to see her fresh out of the shower each morning. Her bright blue eyes were always so mesmerizing. They made a good team too. In his former years, he'd take her, but now, he just wanted to settle down with Kendra.
"I… I don't know Kendra. She's welcome to try but it still begs the question if you are ok with this? I know what you just said, but it took us this long to get us on track and I don't want to see it thrown away."
Kendra nodded.
"No Kendra, I need to know what will happen if you find us in bed together without you there. What if I go on an extended absence with her only," Dyson put forth. This was a serious point of contention since it would weaken their relationship with one another if she wasn't one hundred percent ok with it. THAT he would never have.
"Hmmm too bad Mia only had 2 stones. We could have found out right now. Mia having sex with you here is a little different technically if done IRL (in real life)," Kendra mused looking down at the floor.
"Did she bring the Concord Arbitrator Stone as well?" Dyson rubbed her back to get her attention.
"Huh, what is that?" Kendra said puzzled.
"You know about the Concord stones right? 2 for each of the clans in the armistice?"
"Yea?"
"Well the in order to solve disputes during an internal civil war, a third party was needed arbitrate. These translucent black stones only work with the pair of stones in each clan. They were created hundreds of years after the armistice was signed. All 3 parties, in an act of good faith put their minds together to make 3 more stones. So if Mia has that one, she can join us as well," Dyson said factually.
"Oh, well let's ask her shall we?" Kendra said getting up looking for her clothing but forgot they were in shards and not only that, in IRL she wasn't naked. A moment later her hiking gear did appear on her person right as Dyson and Kendra left the room.
Mia shed a couple tears at the probable loss of her status with Kendra. Kendra had Dyson and she had all of him but it was the right thing to do.
Kendra batted her eyes open and Dyson woke up too.
She shot up and looked around with no Mia in sight until she looked out the sliding door towards the balcony. There she saw her just standing, leaning on the edge alone. She did look lonely and as such like a cat she walked up behind her and hugged her.
Mia was taken off guard since Kendra had 45 or so minutes left before the effect of the stones wore off. Also her arms were trapped which meant she couldn't wipe away the tears streaking down her face.
Kendra snaked her head around from behind and kissed Mia's cheek. She immediately tasted salt and knew. Kendra spun her around quickly and hugged Mia tightly saying, "Don't cry Mia. I'm still here. OK?"
Mia just wiped the tears away quickly and nodded. Who was she kidding?
Kendra knew she had to reassure her that she was still had a place in her heart so she led her into the room, sat her down at the edge of the bed next to Dyson and French kissed her. She kept doing it until Mia began to reciprocate.
Mia got more daring and pulled Kendra's shirt over her head and Kendra let her still kissing her rabidly.
This continued with Mia adroitly undoing the Captain's hiking pants and yanking them off making Kendra lie nude in bed all in front of the wolf who looked on with a neutral expression.
Mia just kissed Kendra all over. Her lips, down to her neck, her breasts, tummy, inner thighs and finally her temple.
Kendra moaned and yelped in pleasure petting Dyson as she was taken. Dyson was ok with it thank goodness.
Mia locked her eyes on Dyson never wavering for the first time taking Kendra and lapped her core hungrily to ensure he was in agreement with what she was doing.
Dyson look on and, yea, Kendra and Mia did have a connection that went well beyond friendship. Breaking it would be ashamed. At least Kendra was happy. Keeping Mia happy was an added bonus. She was so well connected with his clan now, he needed her too. Sure she was hot but, could they get past their friendship status? Was it ok to just stay friends to each other in this triangle or sandwich? He just didn't know.
Kendra to her chagrin crested as Mia told her, "Sexual performance isn't effected IRL Kennie! You can come as many times as you want using the Concord stones but you will be unfulfilled here."
After the Captain came down she quickly grabbed Mia and tossed her on the bed and playfully jested, "You BAD girl! Now gimme that Arbitrator Stone. You are going in with D-man first. You both need to work this out."
"How did you know ….."
Dyson barked softly.
"Oh, OK smart ass," Mia swatted Dyson's paw. "Yea, I have it."
"As I was saying," Kendra composed. "Dyson, Mia, talk this out seriously because if you are at an impasse, it only leaves us one option ok?"
Kendra just nodded to Dyson, "You're in."
With that Dyson put his paw on his stone fell asleep.
Mia rummaged through her bag and dropped a black stone out of a velvet sack but kept it giving Kendra the other orange Concord stone in her possession.
"I'll join in later when you wake and let me know when it's safe to come in, OK?" Kendra laid Mia down in the bed but gently coaxed the arbitrator Stone from Mia's palm and just kneeled next to her licking and nipping her neck.
"Mmmmmm," Mia mewed lost in thought.
"Now tell me Mia, what happens if you are in the ethereal world and someone talks or pinches you in the real world?" Kendra asked unzipping Mia jeans
"Yea… they still hear and feel it, but it'll be like it came from nowhere. That is a good thing to let them know to wake up or leave," Mia informed in lala land.
Kendra just yanked Mia's underwear aside and played her like a stringed instrument.
Mia just yelped, "No Kennie. I need to get in and talk to Dyson."
Kendra shimmied her index finger into her several times to get her wet and then growled, "By the way, you have to be nice to Dyson since I'll be stripping you and fucking you senseless here."
Mia barely got it and exclaimed, "DON'T you do it bitch!"
Kendra didn't know what got into her but laughed manically and said, "Too bad!"
Mia realized in horror that Kendra just smuggled the sacred arbitrator concord stone into her slick holy temple. She quickly drifted off to sleep unable to reply.
Kendra just mounted her and took her time undressing her 'superior', Commander Mia Tate. She may be good at MMA, but she was just about to get her world rocked IRL while negotiating with Dyson.
Once done she whispered into Mia's ear and threatened partly serious, "Be good to Dyson OR ELSE, this will be the last time I'll go down on you."
Kenzi just grunted almost all tapped out of energy on her pull ups. She was wearing black workout Capris and matching black sports top with several decorative straps crossing across her chest and back. This left little to the imagination but Kenzi extra diminutive frame packed a lot of muscle and tone now that she knew what her fate was.
"Forty Nineeeeeeee" Kenzi counted with her face contorting with both pain and strain just barely making it above the bar.
She took to heart what Bo stated privately to Tamsin quoted from Mother Jones, 'Pray of the dead. Fight like hell for the living.'
As such, she worked her hardest to be at her personal best and even Casey and Amanda were still surprised by Kenzi moves. Kenzi was slower than a regular Kitsune, but her now faster reflexes counted for something. It somewhat bridged the loss of her powers but not totally.
"Fifty!" Kenzi just let go of the chin up bar landing deftly on her feet adding, "… Shades of Grey". She adjusted a small black pouch mounted high on her right shoulder strap.
It contained, hidden from sight, 2 doses of Lauren's booster. One for boosting her luck and Kitsune skills safely and the other could be stacked in case it was do or die. The second dose could very well kill her just like everyone else, but if certain death was coming for them, nothing was lost. She made these pouches herself and gave it to whoever needed it, even making Dimitri mass produce a hundred. This pouch was unique in that it held the small plastic vials in place even with harsh treatment but also allowed one to bite the sack open and take both without using any hands. It was an absolute last resort, but any edge over fate was needed.
As for her death, she wanted to make every second count. Bo was with her and had the front line. No way was someone going to take her bestie and sister away that easily.
Kenzi called out to Dimitri who just left the boxing ring on the other side of the gym, "Hey Dimitri! Can ya hold my legs down while I do my inclined situps? Don't need Chuck Morris to sell me a Bow-Flexer. The Kenz machine is fine without it!"
"Da," Dimitri replied talking off his head gear and gloves. He observed the extremely ripped small Russian girl do some regular sit ups with a jab cross added on the ground to get warmed up. She had been working out hard for several weeks now and it showed.
The once petite cute little woman with smooth supple curves looked like she went to boot camp and came back a poster child for the insanity workout. What baffled him even more was that Kenzi was not only slimmer but lost a weight which meant that she had more lean muscle instead of fat. Muscle however was heavier than fat, so to LOSE weight meant that she was burning her fat faster than her gain in muscle mass. Before, if Kenzi stood sideways she would barely cast a shadow, but what about now?
He came over and Kenzi took her position sitting on a triangular mat with her back on the 45 degree incline head lower that the rest of her body and her hanging over calves braced against the vertical edge. Dimitri knelt down and held her feet and she started to do her more challenging sit ups.
Kenzi could tell Dimitri anything since their friendship was solid like brother and sister but one topic was always taboo; it was her relationship status as it concerned her love life because for Kenzi, her love died with along with Hale.
When she held her fallen lover Hale, she spewed out her heart in Russian. Of course Hale would never understand, but it wasn't for him. It wasn't for Mia who still was clearing and securing the room. It was for herself.
She sang a swan song of love in her native tongue and when it was done, so too was her heart. It was broken, never to be mended again. Dyson told her the meaning of Kendra's older call sign 'Cerberus' a long time ago, but Kendra was lucky in a way. She may have sung a Swan Song of sorts for Eric when he fell, but oddly enough Eric wasn't Cerberus' heart. Dyson had her heart the whole time.
She saw and heard rumors of Mia and Kendra were together as well, but oddly nobody clicked like Dyson and Kendra did. Mia might get close to Kendra's heart but her love compass told her at the end of the day, Kendra was Dyson's and vice versa. As for Bo, she was no competition against Kendra. Bo may be Dyson's original life mate, but it seemed that Kendra's and Dyson's true love for one another even eclipsed that.
Kenzi just grunted, "So derevo chelovek, you tell me about how great your wife was but you never told what ever happened to her?"
Dimitri just laughed quietly at the nick name Kenzi came up with on the spot which was a literal translation of 'Tree Man' in Russian. He just replied to avoid, "I was a long time ago. Bad stuff happens. Da? Zhizn' prozhit' ne pole pereyti."
Kenzi paused at the top of her situp to see him eye to eye. Dimitri just told her that Life was never easy or in a more literal context in Russian he was saying 'Living your life is not like crossing a meadow'. To that she replied, "Look, I lost my love too. Besides, beda ne prikhodit odna (Misery loves company)."
"Helena was in Vietnam during the war as a humanitarian aid worker. She would treat any and all sides …."
"Oh yea?" Kenzi just resumed her work out.
Dimitri just continued, "Well she was so focused on helping others that she took a risk and stayed as long as she could. She was killed while treating others in a make shift hospital during the Tet Offensive."
"Okkkkkkk what aren't you tell me?" Kenzi grunted.
"She was killed instantly during a Napalm strike," Dimitri shrugged.
Kenzi paused again on her sit up again facing her friend and stroked his cheek, "Look. We're best buds remember?"
Dimitri finally gave up and shook his head with Kenzi resuming her sit ups, "Well, because of the wide spread use of Agent Orange, she was poisoned and was dying a slow death which no one could prevent. She was suffering more and more every day but found solace in treating others. I tried to convince her, pleaded her to leave, even going there myself, but she refused."
Kenzi knew that Agent Orange was an overly toxic and powerful herbicide long since banned. It was a defoliator that also poisoned people BUT Dimitri and Helena were both TREE ELDERS. This was equivalent to a biological attack targeted to their specific Fae species. Ouch. That had to hurt.
"In her final days, Helena knew the end was near for her from her sickness. She chose to leave a martyr treating those injured in the Tet Offensive but knew that her hospital was in a war zone and stayed despite in instability of the area. She was already dead. Kuda ni kin', vezde kiln (Damn if you do, Damned if you don't). The Napalm strike was probably more merciful than the Agent Orange. I eschew 2-4-D the active ingredient of Agent Orange even to this day," Dimitri concluded. What else could be said?
Kenzi grunted on her final sit up and leaned forward more and kissed Dimitri on the forehead. "Thank you."
"For?" Dimitri looked confused letting her legs go.
Kenzi swung her legs around and popped up grabbing some loose shorts and a t-shirt to cover up her workout gear. "For being here for me."
"Why the sad farewells?" Dimitri looked at her confused.
She knew the Dimitri didn't know that she'd possibly perish in the coming days but just said, "Chemu byt, tomu ne minovat (Fate can't be avoided)." She also knew he's have more question and needed to distract him.
She was in a more remote corner of the gym out of sight of all of Dimitri's friends for now so rather than cover up her work out gear made it look natural and stripped out of her top and capris. She had a feeling that Dimitri liked her ass so she turned her nude form away from him while stuffing her gear in her bag.
Kenzi just mentioned, "I gotta run some errands so I'll see you later?"
Dimitri almost salivated all over himself and just said, "Da." He had never seen her in her birthday suit before although her work out gear left little to the imagination.
She turned to him again pulling on her black shorts and diving into her t-shirt before waving to him, "Later!"
Kenzi left the gym to go home for a long bath. She knew Dimitri always had a thing for her, but respected him, even loved him immensely for being what she needed, which was a close friend. She also wanted to give what she had left. Granted it wasn't exactly what he wanted, but it would have to do. She couldn't give what she didn't have but what she could give was his.
Mia batted her eyes open to the Dire Wolf Archive and library. This was when she was told to escort Dyson safely out of the compound. Granted her dad and her backup wasn't there, it was exactly as she remembered.
Her clothing changed to her uniform and older gear automatically along with her weapons. She had her older MP5 and Glock. From there she walked forward to the small study area which broke up the isles and isles of books and there Dyson was studying a book.
Dyson smelled her and just said, not even looking up, "You know, I think the Concord Stone weren't meant to be used for THESE types of negotiations."
Mia chuckled leaning to a chair with her hands on the back and replied, "Hey it worked right?"
Then Mia heard Kendra whisper in her ear to the distinct feeling for being stripped naked IRL, "Be good to Dyson OR ELSE, this will be the last time I'll go down on you."
Dyson just motioned to the chair across from him to which Mia sat down but noted her expression change to ecstasy complete with an escaping moan. "Mia? Something wrong?"
Mia bite her lower lip and just replied, "Kendra. She's undressing me IRL and is trying to make me…. See stars."
Dyson nodded but knew not to laugh and replied, "Yes, Kendra does like to show who's in charge. Do you need a moment alone? I can move to another section of the library."
Mia was thankful that Kennie was taking her slowly and shook her head. "I'm ok for now, thanks"
Dyson just got to the point since there little time left and said, "You know, if fate is right, we don't even need to have this conversation. Just take what you need."
"And if we all come out ok?"
"Then I guess we can talk about it then," Dyson gestured palm up to the window like it was no big thing.
"And if both of us are ok and Kennie… I mean Kendra falls? I mean there are several permutations. Would YOU be ok if I took your place if you fell?" Mia thought quickly.
That was a good one. Kendra was the glue holding them together. Dyson though finally gave in, "Well then I guess we need to work on us then."
Mia nodded seriously but felt Kendra slurp her arch. GOD she didn't know how much of this she could take.
Dyson acknowledged, "First Mia, I am indebted to you for keeping my relationship with Kendra sacred. I see it in everything you do, so I didn't take issue with you taking her 10 minutes ago. It just gets a little complex when you stay. Mia, I know what you are requesting but I want to hear it from you. What do you need after I shift back?"
Mia was losing her mind with Kendra working her IRL but it was slow. She just resigned to say with a shrug, "I want to be able to have a meaningful, very close, relationship with Kendra. I kinda what want you have ok? Not that I'd supplant you and Kendra ever."
Dyson raised a brow and followed up, "You are consistently putting yourself in second place. I don't want you to get hurt when Kendra chooses me over you. Why is it so hard to move on?"
That was a good question, "I won't get hurt. You are hers and she is yours, but I just don't want to leave. Who knows, I still might. Dyson, I trust Kendra explicitly. She found the truth about my past, fixed what was wrong with us, and I want to return the love she is giving me."
Dyson shifted gears and looked to the window lamenting, "You know, when I was with Bo, I felt like the luckiest guy alive. The short time we had together was heaven. It was just the two of us."
Mia was getting close to release IRL but kept a poker face and listened.
Dyson chuckled, "I told her that I didn't want anyone else even looking at her with lustful eyes. She agreed to mine and that assuaged my fears somewhat. What I feared was that I'd lose her to a feed since Lauren was already hot on her tail….."
Mia filled in, "But it wasn't your fault. The Norn tricked you."
"It would have happened sooner or later. Bo makes relationships in everything she does. Close ones, and I would have cramped her style. Tamsin was the one who got the formula right. Let Bo feed and make as many relationships as she wants. In the end by Tamsin giving Bo a free pass to possibly come and go as she pleases, Bo was no longer a caged bird. In the end, she nested with Tamsin and is free to be….. be Bo Dennis. I didn't know how much Kendra meant to me until I was without her, but I don't make the same mistake twice."
There was a pause and Mia knew she was being kept at peak on purpose IRL when she heard Kennie whisper into her ear, "I'll keep you here until you make FRIENDS with Dyson. Just an added incentive."
Dyson exhaled and resigned, "This is going to get messy if we are all ok at the end of all this, but I will do my best to understand and accept. You want a friends with extra benefits status and I will learn to accept it."
Mia got up and cat walked over his side of the table leaning against it to look down at Dyson who was still sitting and purred, "You forget Dyson. Kendra gave me explicit permission to let you SHARE in the benefits I have to offer. It's not like before where I was Kendra's only."
Dyson shook his head, "I'm flattered Mia. I don't want to force that on you."
Mia knew very well that she could change her clothing even the site they were at now to anything she wanted. It was just a matter of mentally making that change. The only reason why people arrived to a place and in the clothing they came into the ethereal world with is because that is what they remembered and felt most comfortable with. She changed to her older gear automatically because her mind knew what she wore in this setting. Only a seasoned person using the Concord Stones could manipulate the reality to something different. This is the reason why an expert arbitrator went in with the black stone first to setup the peaceful scene. In addition, the black stone allowed the possessor more power to control the environment too, above and beyond that of the standard Concord stone.
Lucky for Mia, her dad had let her use these stones often. That is how Grizzal kept in contact with her even long distances away while keeping her association a secret from the council for the most part.
Mia concentrated closing her eyes briefly even with Kennie keeping her sexed up IRL and the environment change in a blink of an eye. She moved them to Dyson's place at the kitchen table. She also changed into an overly tight white tank with no bra underneath and maroon booty shorts.
This took Dyson for a loop since he only heard that it could be done, but only the best could do it. Also although he was sitting in a kitchen chair, his face was now just mere inches away from Mia's breasts, her tips calling to be sucked. Also her tank was almost see-through.
"Wow. How'd you….." Dyson was cut off when Mia leaned into him and explained, "I have PLENTY of hours using these stones Dyson… oh yea I'd tell you to just suck it up… but DAMN you are. Hmmmm god, Dyson I heard you were experienced, but … myyyy god!"
Mia knew that Dyson would be more accepting if he was complicit with defiling her. Was it underhanded? I little. She also knew after she got out of the shower in the AM with Kendra supposedly asleep, she'd glance at Dyson in the mirror surreptitiously and try as he might, he'd always end up in a tight ball when she lotioned up. There were just certain moves that would make Dyson adjust his position ever so slightly too. He did this probably to hide his raging wolf from her because it was suppose to be for Kendra only.
This was so wrong Dyson knew and backed up but Mia straddled him and grinding his now rock hard wolf. He then just exclaimed overpowering then pinning Mia to the table in a swift motion, "No Mia, No!"
Mia chuckled and just said, "So it IS true. You and Kendra were peeping on me the whole time I took showers at your place. You want me too. Admit it. Your wolf already said so."
"That's not the point," Dyson growled, "I barely know you….. Just because we had a car ride together doesn't mean that….. "
Mia purred rubbing a free knee to stroke his hard member thought his pants, "You do. You had all this time to observe me, we worked great together even at the wedding. So let's just get this out of the way."
"No!" Dyson adamantly backed up but Mia hooked her legs around him trapping his to her body. "I want Kendra ALL to myself!"
Mia hit the jackpot. Dyson deep down just didn't want to share.
PLAN B.
Even though Dyson was just about to break her leg lock she then said grinding him aggressively, "Of course you will always be number one with Kendra. I'll make sure of that too. That's why I haven't told her that you fuck Thalia senseless every time Kendra worked you up in your wolf form."
Dyson was shocked. How did she know?
Dyson blurted you, "You bitch! You'd blackmail me?"
"No," Mia said innocently sitting up to kiss him but undoing his fly and pull out his member. "But can we work this out?"
That of course had a double meaning since Kendra was now in possession of his throbbing wolf stroking it gently but also did want to get an arrangement with Dyson to stay. She noted as well that he was already slick with his own seed.
Dyson was losing his concentration. Possession was 9 tenths of the law and right now Mia had him by the balls, both figuratively and literally.
"I want you to… to… ahhhhhh!" Dyson began to thrust. Mia was really talented.
"What?" Mia kept working him.
"Leave when I shift back Mia… it's better… that way. She'll understand about Thalia," Dyson grunt and struggled to get out of this predicament but he forgot that Mia was a number one in ground fighting. She transitioned to a bear hug and grinding once more.
'Time to for the KO,' Mia mused blinking briefly to make her shorts and underwear vanish. She was still hugging Dyson firmly and grinding that he had no idea her shorts were gone.
Mia then growled back, "And what do you tell Kendra after you FUCKED me?"
"I never….." Dyson kept rubbing until in total bewilderment his wolf slammed through Mia's temple doors and plundered her deep inside in inner sanctum.
He tried to stop and pull back but his body was talking over.
Mia put the final nail in the coffin, "What will I tell me FATHER Council Member Grizzal!"
"Uggggggggggg! Nooooooooooo!" Dyson screamed.
"I won't tell anyone a thing if you sack me like you do Kendra AND I get to SHARE her!" Mia demanded flipping Dyson on the table so she was in control of his wolf.
He didn't even respond and just kept thrusting her aggressively.
'OH SHIT. Kendra's in IRL and is pushing me over the edge …. and I'm gonna… oh crap!' She had no idea what would happen is she crested IRL and HERE. Dyson was really good but since she was driving she COULD time it, which she did.
Mia just completed that thought and crested in both realities so hard that she couldn't stop screaming.
Dyson refused to deliver the goods but Mia felt good with her temple walls constricting on his wolf.
She almost passed out and he was so close but stubborn, so she imaged some Dire Wolf grade cuffs and they appeared in her hand.
One by one she showed Dyson and cuffed his hands to each of the table legs. Sure he struggled a lot and even hulked out but she knew the psychological effect of these restraints and Dyson wouldn't be able to break them. He could have with a strong enough mind, but Mia was too well versed with the Concord stones, especially the arbitrator stone.
It just got easier and easier and cuffed his legs to each of the table legs too and when Mia was done she hoped off the table and strutted around him proudly with her fingers ghosting his body like a hunter was to prey. He was dead in the water spread eagle albeit clothed.
Meanwhile, Kendra witnessed this in the back of the room hidden behind the bathroom doorway. She entered in as soon as Mia came down from her high IRL.
Mia was OWNING Dyson like she would and then Mia pulled out a knife and slowly cut away Dyson's clothing. He yelled to be released but Mia didn't listen. Did Kendra want to stop this since Dyson's was hers? Did she care that Mia, was now screw her life mate?
What made mattered worse was how Mia took in his wolf with her lips and made his groan with delight and she was good.
Kendra wanted to end this but for some odd reason she was also turned on by Dyson being dominating by her LLBFF. Besides, this was equivalent to a fantasy. Dyson should have known better that Mia was better on the ground then her. MUCH better for that fact.
"So you want Kendra ALL to yourself huh? BAD DOGGIE. So all this lip service you were giving Kendra to give it a try after you shift back was all for not. OK that's fine. But not before I fuck her brains out and then tell her how you've been a bad boy and fucked your old squeeze Thalia on your trips to the woods. Then I'll just let it slip to my dad how vicious you where to me and describing all the little bumps and ridges on your staff to prove it. Besides, aren't you a ladies man?" Mia didn't even touch it but by ghosting he hand around his member, he yearned for release bucking his hips off the table.
"You can't do this! I'll kill you after we come out of here," Dyson snarled. No one got the drop on him EXCEPT Kendra.
'OH SHIT,' Kendra knew things were getting way out of hand. Mia was more than goading him to change his mind, Mia was forcing compliance through blackmail.
