Chapter 3: Tactful Tempo
It's been a few days since the renovation of my previously humble, but now imposing home. Even though most of the furniture was kept the same with only a few additions and everything upped to scale, it still felt a bit alien to me. That isn't to say that it was bad. On the contrary, it was a nice change of pace, just a weird pace.
In the recent days I've had with my homestay Anuri Talibah, not much special has happened besides a couple of advances she tried to make. They all sounded and felt like they were scripted and practised beforehand so I didn't pay as much attention as the first time I took her out and she expressed her feelings. I don't like leaving her hanging though so I try to give at least a small pat to show I care.
Personally, even with the calmer days, the new house and Anuri made adjusting pretty hard; almost overwhelming me to exhaustion. Though, on afternoons like this, taking a bath to unwind was the best. Even at this moment, being bombarded with new host obligations, rules and requirements and whatnot I could savour the solitary and solace in my now much larger tub. The warm water encompassing my tender body, the cosy room temperature calming my soul, along with the soothing silence that filled my core to the brim with bliss. Ahhhh...I needed this.
However, to my mild discomfort, the impatient tapping of two paws slowly came into earshot, progressively becoming louder and louder. Seeking refuge in the tub and behind the curtains, I now stared at the door in cringe and annoyance as a certain paw fiddled with the knob from the outside before slamming the door open.
Can't I have some peace and quiet right now?
"You know, even if the door wasn't locked, you don't have permission to come in the bathroom without my consent, Anuri. If you hear someone in the bath, you at least knock and wait for a response before coming in. That's like, manners 101." I explained to the Anubis, who had barged into my steamy sanctuary.
"I deeply apologize Ethan, but I would prefer if we addressed a certain complication which will affect us in the very near future. If you haven't noticed, today is the date we are receiving one of those random liminals!" the kobold lectured before materializing a black board, white lab coat and piece of chalk. " You see Ethan, if you were responsible for average liminals this wouldn't be a problem and I would be willing to remain lax, however these species are significantly more dangerous. Hell, Chimeras are technically suffering Dissociative Identity Disorder and Raijus are a walking death sentence in themselves." she informed with appropriate diagrams and sketches. "I insist that we take necessary precautions to ensure, for the most part, your safety."
Compelling to listen too, to say the least. It would have been even more compelling if I wasn't in the bath right now. Though that last bit did leave an impression on me, that was unrelated to the scowl of the cold air seeping into the safe haven known as the bath. With a tinge of curiosity, I wanted to clarify where she was coming from. " What do you mean my safety and scheme? I am pretty sure with the outlet caps and larger area I am safe as it is... Also, just because someone may have a disorder doesn't mean they are bad or aggressive. Far from needing to hatch a scheme." I pointed out. Even if I am taking care of mythical extraspecies it can't be so bad? It's just caring for extraspecies but a little more effort, caution and acceptance right?
Anuri sighed at this before pressing further, clearly fed up but also endeared by my gullible view. "You dolt, "mythical" is basically a synonym of dangerous with how it is formatted. As flattering as your acceptance may be, your human governments just sugar-coat these groups so we feel better and humans feel safer, but in reality, even myself, extraspecies of "mythical" status are as dangerous as can be. In both physical harm, mental harm and...other things." She groaned before making a circle with 1 paw and inserting her index paw through the hole, like what a 12-year old sometimes does to be funny.
To say the least, she isn't wrong. I wasn't oblivious to what liminals were capable of but I assumed that online stories were fake because of how calm and composed Anuri usually is. If not fake, probably just blown out of proportion.
"Look you just need to calm down like me! It's OK to be paranoid but we'll cross that bridge when we come to it. Put the blackboard away (wherever you got it from) and just chill"
I cooed from the confines of my warm steamy bath. Seeping deeper into the opaque liquid with every second, until only my eyes were peering above the almost mirror-like water.
Anuri, however seemed livid and somehow got rid the blackboard, lab coat and glasses without any trace of their existence or their disappearance. "Are you even listening to me? Ethan, are you aware of the predicaments you could find yourself in, if you choose to be so reckless..." she questioned rhetorically, while approaching the bath and slamming her paws down on the edge. "...because I feel as if you don't."
Usually, I would retaliate at someone trying to threaten me, but with the precious sound of cuddly black paws slamming against the sleek surface, I let out a suppressed chuckle. On one hand, it was really sweet how she was so concerned for my safety. On the other hand, I am and have been concerned what she will do to me if I don't listen. I know she won't kill me because I am loveable and outright adorable. I can also safely say, my Anubis companion won't enslave me with her curses, like in the books and guides Miss Adams gave me. Then again, she might punch me or something. And punches really hurt. Even if their paws.
Deciding I should say something to ease her, instead of getting punched and it hurting, I sat straight, put on my smoothest facade and leaned forward enough to reveal my slightly underwhelming torso, but not too much to reveal my perfectly average and satisfactory "Other Ethan". "Anuri, of course I'm listening to you. You're probably more experienced than I am when it comes to extraspecies, being one, but I think these aren't the types of things which you should be worried about though. Just try and take it easy." I delivered confidently, albeit a bit cheesy. As I looked into the calm red eyes of the doggo standing before me, I assumed that she was at least content with my opinion, yet not a second later, I was proven wrong as I observed a sinister smirk form on her face.
"Alright, Ethan, if mythical extraspecies aren't something you should be "worried" about, then why don't I come accompany you in the bath? Surely it's nothing of too much concern. We could engage in some bonding." My face contorted at the use my own words against me trick. Well, actually she didn't use my words against me. It was more like using one-word-out-of-context-and-then-sticking-quotation-marks-at-the-end-to-make-my-fate-seem-ironic trick. That devilish hound.
Before I could complain, and testify that she was using quotes wrong in this instance the kobold hastily disposed of her clothing and presenting her caramel body to me. As a young man, this was mind-blowing. I have never seen a naked woman in the flesh before. That it is not to say that I have never seen a naked women in general before but those aren't exactly occurrences I would gladly share. With both of us blushing slightly, she cautiously stepped in the bath.
Rubbing the back of my head, I tried to start some small talk to avoid the growing problem currently making way. "So, uh, bath is pretty big, huh? Pretty cool right?" I whispered meekly, attempting to avert my gaze from her. " You could fit, er, maybe a car in this, maybe 3? Uh, yeah. Pretty cool. " Nailed it, smooth talker.
Her ears slouched at my poor excuse for conversations. "How little female interaction have you had exactly? Ugh, you sound like I'm the first girl you've spoken to in years."
"...Well...to be fair you are naked and the statement you said isn't exactly wrong if we don't count Miss Adams or my mother." I was rubbing the back of my head so furiously I could probably rub off my scalp and bad conscience. Saying I have no experience with women would be an understatement because I was sure that the very few things I did know were most likely wrong.
"Sigh, just stop talking Ethan." she said as she adjusted herself to sitting beside me, opposed to sitting opposite of me. I jolted at the skin contact, but to my surprise and fear she pulled me even closer. I was really getting those same vibes I got a couples days ago, when I took her out for the first time and she kissed me. This is bad. If this keeps up, she'll find out.
Wait, how did I get in this situation anyway?
Maybe I turned into a babe magnet? Nah, human girls still avoid me so it must be an extraspecies thing, but then again, even extraspecies girl seem to not really care too much for me. Maybe it's just a host and homestay thing. Yeah- wait, does that mean that the other species coming to visit are gonna be into me as well!? Won't that become a bit dangerous if they all like me? Heh heh heh, I need to remember: What are the chances of them all liking me anyway? What are the chances of the next 3 girls liking me to the point of romantic interest like Anuri? 0%, that's what!
Well, that or I'm fucked. Literally.
Illegal polygynous thoughts aside, I shuddered when I realized that Anuri was grinding her chest on my arm. She was whispering in my ear and just like last time though it was still unclear as to what she actually said. What was clear though, was the building, um, "inconvenience" under the waters. Trying to control my inconvenience, I scooted away from Anuri. This ended up backfiring as she gripped even tighter with her blunt claws digging into my skin and her face closer to mine. "It is fairly rude to ignore my affection. It isn't exactly simple to perform this right if you're going to ignore me."
"I need an adult." I whimpered
"We ARE adults, Ethan." she argued
Obviously not a kid but I was not expecting to be backed into a corner...of a bathtub. Her firm and soapy caramel breasts, rubbing against my chest. It lightly tickled every time she would come up and down but that was the least of my concerns. With how close she was getting? She was going to stumble upon my dog chew toy sooner or later.
Anuri's foot-paw at some point strafed my sceptre of secrets which caused a trigger deep within my soul. Well it felt like my soul. If it wasn't my soul it was my penis, but I imagined it was my soul.
For me, it was a mixture between my teenage hormone desires telling to ram my dick into the next I see and my common sense telling me to stand down. Even an angel, and demon version of myself appeared on my shoulders at some point.
"She's hot, she's into us, she lives with us, is special, smart and unique. I say we throw her a bone, by giving her a bone, if you know what I mean." mini-devil me said. I indeed knew what he meant and agreed.
My mini Angel me had different plans though. "It's illegal with her and are we really going to jail for a quickie? We're better than that. Not much better than that but at least slightly. We can always be friends or maybe a bit more but we don't have to be intimate on the first week." he had a less appealing but more sensible approach.
Both have fair points. What should I pick? Maybe I should pick the mini me with the better insurance in case things go south. The devil me quickly came up with a joke for this inconvenient wording. "Know what else is going south? This bath!" it laughed triumphantly
Snapping back to the present, I looked my homestay right in the eyes as she moved her paw to the south pole. "Ethan." Anuri started panting, as if in trance "I want you, Ethan. My desires, have your name written on them. I just want you to lean back and do everything I say." she half-whispered, half-panted as the slow, steady, sensational stroking satisfied me. Not irresistible moan-inducing but pretty close.
Handjob through paw was a weird experience to saw the least. The paws themselves were soft but still rough so it made for an interesting sensation. Was this technically a paw job? Only downside was the wet dog smell and my disapproval of doing this first week in demonstrating my lacklustre restraint.
It felt both amazing and amazinging-ly illegal. Her over-sized paws gently but securely gripping me and trying to pull me in despite my efforts of staying outside of her. The gaze seducing me into coming closer however I could resist succumbing fully into this situation. Only for that thin waist to be inviting me to embrace the Anubis here and now.
I needed to come up with an excuse to leave. Sadly, the only excuse I could come up with went along the lines of ''No u.'' which didn't really work in this context. So I did the next best thing. Ran away from my problems and responsibilities.
I leaped out of the bathtub with Anuri falling backwards, failing to hold onto me. Hearing a loud thud and water violently splashing everywhere, I rushed in search for a towel to wrap around my waist and dashed to my bedroom, ignoring the bitter cold of the unforgiving hallway. To be on the safer side, I made sure to get fully dressed and less stiff before I even considered considering going back out there with that man's best friend with benefits.
As I was dressing I decided to send a couple of messages to Miss Adams asking when one of the girls would be coming and which one. It would be a good way to kill some time and still get some info. Within seconds, I already received a message: "Be there in 15", only to be followed by "The girl I'm bringing will be a surprise though;)". Was there even any reason to add the winky face or not to tell me? Geez. Could have written "Screw you asshole not saying be rdy in 15 min ;)" and still be the exact same.
Well at least now I know she isn't bringing all 3 simultaneously because that would be a real Nightmare to deal with.
After making sure to pat myself on the back for remembering that one of my homestays would be a Nightmare and making an effective pun on it, I gave a quick "OK" to the agent and proceeded to head to the kitchen. On the way, I notice some large, wet footprints from the bathroom leading to Anuri's bedroom. How did I not hear this. Thinking it would be best to make sure nothing is awkward between us, I knocked on her door only to be welcomed with an unpleasant leer and a half naked kobold.
"Ethan, what do you require?" she said blankly, as if oblivious to my near-sex experience a few minutes ago which still left me traumatised. "However, do keep it brief. The new homestay should be arriving shortly and I prefer to not ignore them. Unlike a certain human."
"Yeah they're gonna be here in about 15 minutes but, er, more importantly. Um, 5 minutes ago? Bathroom? Everything good between us? You don't hate my guts because I'm not returning the favour or anything, right?" I rushed as a single bead of sweat rolled down from my temple and Anuri looked unimpressed.
"Pretty please,Anuri? Who's a good girl for forgiving me? Who's a good girl?" I goofily said as I rubbed behind her ears. Eventually her face softened a bit with a giggle and her tail smacked repeatedly on the door. "Heh heh, seriously, everything good though?"
"As condescending as that may be and as foolish as I am to respond to it, I'm your good girl." Doggo successfully tamed! "Don't be distressed. What I desired was illegal anyway, was just feeling frisky is all. As for us, everything is perfectly fine between us. But. It wouldn't hurt if you and I got a bit closer." she spoke calmly, before gifting me a peck on the cheek. Anuri then went back to getting dressed tail still wagging, leaving me in the hallway.
Well, if she wants to make a good impression I might as well do the same. With the thoughts of what I could possibly do to help a homestay feel welcome and comfortable, but still sincere, I went to the living room contemplating what would be best? I don't just wanna say hi. That would just make me seem distant. I don't know any jokes either so that's also out of the way. What do liminals even like? Sex? Yeah, that isn't going to work. I don't think I can handle prison, much less a girl. Pretty sure, both of those situations can result in rape at some point.I sat there contemplating what I could do.
Then it hit me, like a middle school bully who was trying to take my lunch money.
Food. Nobody dislikes food.
Concluding that food would be the absolute best choice I began to search the counter and pantries for whatever I could make before I set my mind on making a stack of sandwiches. Fluffy, light, diverse, easy to make and packed with flavour; sandwiches are the best way to go for any occasion.
I started by getting pleasantly light-brown wholemeal slices of bread and filling a few with cooked slices of meat, cold vegetables or tuna. Beautiful. I continued cutting them into lengthy rectangles. Making sure each half was exactly the same in dimensions and removing the crusts. Subjectively, better. I finished it all by adding a pinch of salt on every single one of those delicious little beauties and stacked them into a big, haphazard pile. Just as I finished them I decided to place them on the living room table by the TV.
To my surprise and convenience, I thought heard a car drive outside which was significantly louder, than the others that drove past my house at random. It confirmed my suspicions when a loud clunk was made from a door opening and closing and I could hear a cart or wheelbarrow? Yet, it got weirder. The faint buzz of static electricity was humming in the air. By process of elimination, it could only be Miss Adams and the homestay. Well either them, or someone planted a miniature tesla, on a cart, outside my house without my consent.
Ready to welcome a new friend to my home or give people a piece of my slightly above average IQ mind, I put down the sandwiches in the most appealing angle and opened my grand front door. Approaching the familiar black van I hear a recognisable mature voice talk about presumably me.
"-pade has currently proven to be a very good host for the single homestay he has had so far-oh, well speak of the devil, hey there Ethan. We were just talking about you." explained Adams as she was followed by another taller lady from behind the van. "Miss Ann and I were just discussing how you have proved to be a good host. Miss Sanda Ann, this is Ethan Spade. He will be your host throughout the Interspecies Exchange Program."
Adams emphasized "Miss Sanda Ann" by motioning to the shockingly attractive women next to her. Emanating a faint, humming noise and wearing the widest but most mischievous grin I've seen in a while, Miss Ann let go of her two large suitcases and waved toward me. " How is it going, Bitesize? Ya like what you see?" the woman snickered. There was certainly a lot to see. And the lack of which.
She stood at a respectable 6 feet and then some, surpassing me in means of height but absolutely towered over Miss Adams. I gazed into her sharp and vibrant lime green eyes. I would say I was entranced but the sharp, vertical slit pupils eyeing me really made me paranoid. It gave a real, "I'm dangerous" vibe. They did look pretty though.
Her navy blue hair seemed to vibrate faintly, yet threateningly, at the darker base, but split into erratic smaller strands and went from navy to a neon cyan as it went down. The occasional zap could be heard from the colourful tips, making me jump in surprise. The humming sounds were definitely coming from those.
What stopped me dead, in my tracks was her very...prominent... chest. I know its rude to look but this was unfair. She was at least an E cup and with no bra in sight. I have self-control but not to glance at least once, required a will of titanium, which I did not have. My self-control was probably made of aluminium or something and I can't compete with titanium.
Sanda wore what looked like very expensive robes. The dress had a pitch-black exterior complimented with a royal purple on the inside. The garment split into a few segments resembling arrows which went down the side but got longer at the back, although nothing covering the front. The garment latched onto the Raiju's torso tightly but only covered the centre of her breasts and only a bit of her impressive thighs.
It was at this moment I realized she wasn't wearing pants. I didn't even know if she wore underwear underneath that dress. Then again, why SHOULD I know that? What the hell, brain. Stop.
Slightly obstructed by her "clothing", Sanda possessed a medium length, but thick and spiky tail which also started darker and became lighter like her hair. Further down, her feet were covered in silky smooth white fur, but turning spiky and pointing upwards as it reached her calves. The middle of her feet were adorned with small lightning bolt shaped strands of fur standing up, sharing the same colour as her hair and tail.
So this is the mythical Raiju? Looks stunning. Ha.
"Hey lady, is this scrawny, little human my host or nah? Not gonna lie, seems disappointing." Ah, this is what I expect women to think of me. Anuri was an exception after all. 0%.
"No offence but you seem weak and vulnerable, bitesize."She teased rudely and began to pace forward, forcing me to take a few steps back. Somehow, when I was stumbling backwards, I adjusted my angle, so instead of walking back into the doorway, I was halted by the wall next to it. Taking advantage of my mistake, she pressed both of her arms on the wall, to my sides, making escape futile. The worst part is, the electrical current flowing through her could leave me stuck on the floor if I even grazed the girl. Can't even run for it...
For those who do not understand what Raiju's are, they are Extraspecies in the Weasel family that have high electrical potential and abilities. They are also known to be charged with energy, making physical contact dangerous unless multiple instant and intense orgasms weren't dangerous.
"Hm. At least he's cute." the walking, talking battery teased with a suggestive wink. Miss Adams gave a couple snickers at my situation; she is definitely into shadenfreude if this caused a giggle.
"Well, I'll let you two do the introductions for now. I've got a certain liminal to talk to about preferences. I'll be waiting inside. By the way, Ethan..." Adams chimed "be careful touching her. You might be paralysed if you do the wrong thing." she finished before heading in. Guess I got to get out of this myself!
"So, uh, Miss Sanda A-"
"Drop the formalities. Call me sugar instead~"
"OK, NO. How about we meet in the middle and I just call you by your first name, like a normal person?" me being at the edge of my nerves. I wasn't used to this, at all. Anuri was assertive but even she didn't have my back against a wall. Not literally or figuratively. The only way out of this, is to have backbone but not try and compete with her. Somewhere in the middle.
"So, my name is Ethan and I'm 19 years old. I'm your new host and it's cool to meet you. There is also another liminal here called Anuri and I'm sure she would also be glad to get to know you, too! Hope we can have a fun time together." I stated genuinely. " Can you give me something like that. Just so we're introduced?" I just need to appear confident.
"OK, short-stuff. My name is Sanda Ann and I'm 21 but you'd know that because you have my private information in a file, don't you? I'm your new homestay and will probably bang you. I know it's illegal but I will do it on the grounds that I want too and probably won't get caught. If you claim any of what I said is true I will deny it." she replied with a smile in the shape of a "D". Closing the little space between us with her colossal chest and face a few mere inches away from mine. "Regardless, I hope we have lots of fun together."
"So two questions. First, am I a one-night stand or am I a friend with benefits? Just curious? Second will you force me?" I asked, with actual curiosity.
I saw her menacing gaze look down to her lower left side in contemplation before staring back into my soul. "Hmmm. Either or. Depends on how good you are, really hopefully a mate though. The second bit? Would probably say I'll ask for your consent the first few times until we're pretty comfortable. Unless it's a full moon. Then your fucked 10/10 times. Literally and metaphorically." she said nonchalantly with a steady smirk now.
It's surprising, really. I went from being lonely, awkward, unattractive and bad with girls, to...still lonely, awkward, unattractive and bad with girls; I'm just wanted by two monster girls now. Knew this one for 2 minutes.
What is up with extraspecies? I've known Anuri for what? A week now and she already hit 3rd base for a few seconds? Damn. Only met this girl 2 minutes ago and she wants to screw me harder than I screwed over my social life. They probably don't even love me that much either. Just a hormone thing at this rate.
"OK, Sanda good to know! I guess. Why don't we go inside? Better than talking about how you plan to defile me. Unless you like standing outside, talking about how you'll defile a person to said person." she winked again and then strolled into my home, swaying her hips seductively with each step. I sighed, finally realizing that I'm going to be sleeping in the same house as her. Full moons are gonna be extra tough.
For those that also don't don't know what the relationship between extraspecies and the full moon is or just need a reminder, it is a mysterious primal urge that is present in all species. No exception. The files I got stated that extraspecies seemed to be more aggressive and lustful during the full moon for unknown reasons. What is known is that they show no restraint and use the their maximum capabilities and sometimes, horrifyingly surpassing those capabilities to their desires. Luckily, recent research has shown that cold water or any very cold substance can take them out of their trance either temporarily or cause them to pass out until the full moon subsides. The documents also noted that cold solids like ice work, but because they don't maintain physical contact, like water does, they aren't very practical. Other ways of not getting absolutely raped or gang-raped by the full moon effects would be either to have the homestay(s) sleep early, and/or leaving the household because cold air could also cool down girls, albeit to a lesser degree.
Proud that my all-nighters reading the guidebook "Living with Extraspecies" didn't go to waste I smiled to myself.
Stepping back into my sweet home and closing the door, I encountered the face of pure jealousy on my canine comrade, the face of mischief on my new homestay and last, but by all and any means least, the face of indulging into way too many sandwiches for a government agent. Adams gave me a thumbs up and presumably sparkling eyes behind those glasses. Anuri, on the other hand, was sceptical of the situation.
"Ethan, Miss Adams. Who is the freak that is currently occupying the living room and why is she wearing no pants?" she said mercilessly. Miss Adams and I choked on air and sandwich pieces respectively at "freak". Sanda's ears perked up and a deadly glare darted to Anuri.
This won't end well.
POV: Sanda Ann
Well someone is dying tonight.
"I'm sorry, I didn't hear you over the sound of the dwarf choking on a sandwich. What did you say?" I asked with sickeningly sweet glee.
"My apologies, are you the new homestay? If you are, please leave. I was lead to believe that other homestays had decency." the filthy mutt responded "FYI, I heard everything you said outside and I can smell your south from here. My lover's safety and virginity is non-existent if you are as much in the same room as him."
"As a matter of fact, you're officially entitled to go fuck yourself. Also, if you honestly think that Bitesize over there is your lover, then you are gravely mistaken. Humans don't immediately fall for people that strike their fancy. So, in easy to understand terms: He is still up for grabs."
Oh, I could see it now! She tries her best to win over his heart with affection but then I roll in! I graciously seduce the human, until he can't resist his urges and leaves the hound alone and betrayed! She might even leave the program for good measure! Then when we're all alone, just rig the circuit breakers, lock the doors, get him in bed and make him mine.With, previously established consent from both parties of course!
Pfffft, who am I kidding?
"Hey, Bitesize! What's your name again? I forgot because I didn't care too much at the time." I said bluntly.
"You gotta be kidding me... It's Ethan Spade but just call me Ethan please." Ethan? Eh, kinda boring.
"Still don't care, my bad. I'll just give you a pet name to be honest. Ethan sounds lame. How about I shorten it and say...Ethy? Nah that sounds off. Screw it, just gonna give you a typical one like honey or sugar..." I suggested, making long steps toward the little boy, my hair swaying from side to side. Now, being right in front of the timid little boy, the Anubis girl was looking pretty annoyed right about now. It would be a REAL shame if I made her snap by getting sexual with her supposed "lover".
...
"...or Daddy."
"You arrogant, unruly whore!"
I love myself.
POV: Ethan Spade
Time slowed down, almost to the point of a blur. One moment, I see Anuri's calm features grow hard and merciless. The next moment, Sanda walks up to me, calling me Daddy. Next, Anuri leaping towards her and Sanda turning around holding an open but dangerously charged palm, rushing towards her...but...if she does that, she'll be stimulated by the charge! I need to intercept her or she might possibly be paralysed! I mean, it's not fatal, but still!
Somehow, surpassing all human and physical limitations like a super hero or anime protagonist, I dashed in between the two almost instantaneously. To my left was a deadly Anubis zooming towards me, with, ironically and familiarly, cold, scarlet eyes and a closed fist-paw. To my right was an eager weasel, surrounded in flickering lightning and arrogance. But those two expressions slowly morphed into shock at the realisation of where I stood. With wide eyes and tremendous force they crashed into last thing I remember before blacking out was the cracking of the current dispersing along with being smothered in the moans of bliss from my homestays and my own.
"Nyaaaaahh~"
"Ooohhhhhh~"
"Hnnnnnggggghhhhh!"
And now, I embrace the sweet release of death.
I slowly awoke, head aching, confused as hell and possibly but hopefully dead. I could barely make out my surroundings. Dark spots present in my vision and I can hear ringing in my ears. Besides that, I notice a strange tingling on my right side, various bits of fur or hair coming from both sides and my hands, well, they felt other things.
"Ethan, I feel strange. The rodent's stimulation, it's very extraordinary." Anuri uttered, trembling on the floor. "Ethan. Why did you jump in the way?" Well, I feel her leg twitching, I can begin to make out a heavy blush plus sharp and ragged breaths? Also, some moisture touching my leg. Yup, she just came.
I'm going to jail, aren't I?
"Pffftt, wow. Bitesize, you look happy. Did I make you burst?" she said, snickering and rubbing a tear from her eye. Sanda seemed pretty much the same. Monster girls are oddly sexual. Wonder if the male ones are also this weird or if it's just a female thing.
"No, you didn't make me burst, surprisingly."
"Damn it."
"Honestly confused because I thought Raiju's were incredibly dangerous. I read that touching you can lead to intense multiple orgasms and temporary paralysis. How come that didn't happen?" I asked, quite unsure.
Miss Adams stepped forward shoving the last bit of a sandwich in her mouth. "Yu schee, Raischus froduche elctrishity eqrivalen-"
"Holy shit- can you SWALLOW?" Sanda interrupted, still lying next to me on the floor as the agent gulped down the nuisance. "Ugh, what a pig. Tell my host about how my current works, clearly if you don't mind and not like you're pigging out on the free food you're getting."
Why is Sanda such a jerk?
Miss Adams glared down at the 3 of us before resuming. "Rude. Ahem, as I was trying to say, Raijus produce electricity equivalent to the amount of stimulation they put themselves through. This electrical shock is by no means painful but is directed to the reproductive system in particular, for obvious reasons." She explained "You didn't blow like a volcano, Mr. Spade because Miss Ann was previously requested to cease any form of stimulation for at least 72 hours, prior to coming into the country and is limited to self-inflicted sexual stimulation to once every week. Physical contact with Miss Ann may cause...effects but shouldn't be anything too serious or satisfactory as long as you don't touch her within at least 8 hours from previously mentioned "stimulation"."
Huh. Didn't expect my coordinator to be this cautious about liminals. Even if they are considered mythical I wouldn't have even thought the government would be this supportive. Feels good man.
But it didn't "feel good man" for long because the small woman loomed over me with ominous glasses and a creepy smile. I don't know why but my house morphed into a black abyss. "Don't forget that they are still off limits for any intimate actions, Mr. Spade. If you are to do so, it will result in the deportation of all homestays and you're immediate arrest. Same goes for you too, Miss Ann and Miss Talibah." I swallowed down my spit and shame. I can't believe I got into this type of situation twice today. I need to be more careful.
"Yes ma'am." I said sweating nervously
"Understood, Miss Adams." Anuri droned, after recovering.
"Bite me, you lonely cuck." Sanda insu- why is she being such a jerk!?
The agent seemed relatively unfazed by this evil Raiju and simply sighed and walked outside to take the suitcases Sanda had brought with her and placed them gently by the door.
"Mr. Spade. Your next two homestays will arrive within the next few weeks, separately I might add. In the meantime, I'm going to have to ask you to try and get more clothes for Miss Ann. As you can probably tell, her wardrobe is a bit... revealing." I concluded that much after seeing her. "While I may think it looks sexy and you may think it's sexy, the public won't take kindly to someone who has more hair covering their body than actual clothing. It wouldn't hurt for Miss Talibah to have a wardrobe upgrade either."
"OK, I can fit some time in for that." I attempted to stand up but was pulled down by the two extraspecies beside me, as they put their lustrous bodies on my arms, effectively gluing me to the floor. As they both looked at me, with enchanted eyes, they inevitably noticed the other.
It was at that moment, that my chances of surviving today, were similar to the stock market of the 1929 Wall Street Crash: Plummeting at an alarming rate with no signs of recovering.
"Release. My. Lover. At Once." Anuri growled.
"Yeah, I'll make him release. Make him release, on these tits!" the Raiju purred, climbed closer to my face. "Hey, hot stuff. What's your output looking like? "I was not prepared today. I mouthed for Adams to 'Please help me, I am in danger, do your job of protecting me, I'm scared, I'm pretty sure this counts as sexual harassment.' but she already came to my rescue wearing rubber gloves and snatching both of them up with tremendous ease despite them both being taller than her she dragged them by the ears causing whimpers to squeal from the both of them.
"Stop being such a baby. I'm your coordinator so you can trust me when I say: Nothing will go wrong. They aren't going to actually try to sleep with you, it's just banter. Who falls for someone they met a week ago, much less a single noon?" Miss Adams assured tipping down her glasses. " But just in case they do want you, you'll need to know that pulling most of them on the ear gets the trick done. Use the re-useable rubber gloves for Sanda. Rubber is one of the best electrical insulators, so you should be dandy."
You acquired the Rubber Gloves! Equip them to not get shocked to death! Unless your homestay touches the other 95 percent of your body that it is...
"Adams out, see ya later everybody." she said before shutting my door and abandoning me with the two troublemakers, fussing over their ears being sensitive.
They were so weird it was almost like they came from another planet. They were definitely not a bad weird, or at least not entirely. Anuri so far made my life a lot more bearable. Even for the short time I met Sanda, I could tell she was far from boring.
May be a weird pace, to adjust to with all these new things popping up.
But a good change of pace, nonetheless.
Author's Notes
Chapter 3 is finally here. Didn't mean for it to be this late but I wanted to go over it a few times and ended up taking longer than expected. I am happy with how this turned out though.
To be fairly honest, I'm hoping that occasional lemons don't deter people so I decided I will keep it away from penetration, blowjobs and the sort for now.
