The sounds of drums and wooden pipes drifted around the meadow. The Ape King stood and announced that in two days time they would be dividing out the small rice harvest to each female in the city.
"Isn't rice hard to grow?" Chiaki asked.
"Yes, many males give their lives each time to ensure it stays safe until harvest."
She scrunched up her eyebrows together. "Then why are you growing it if it's so demanding?"
The males around the fire looked down. "It's because-" "The females-" Several began at once.
Chiaki held up her hand. "Okay, stop right there! You have got to be kidding me! People die every year because females want a difficult to grow food?!"
"Yes."
She placed her hands over her face. Then she started to rant. "We are growing potatoes next year! Everything that can be made with rice can be made out of potatoes! Potatoes grow if you just toss them under a little soil and forget about them! Do you know how many potatoes you can harvest if you actually try?! Muph-!" Chiaki suddenly found herself being kissed.
"Is this true?! You know a food that can replace rice?" Jiu Ruan asked as he leaned back from her lips.
"Ruan! I- yes." She stuttered out.
The wolf male realized he was leaning over her, holding her chin with his fingers. His gold eyes sparkled and he leaned towards her again, pulling her into a second softer kiss. Chiaki sat there, arms behind her holding her up. The kiss was such a surprise that she didn't even react until she'd been drawn into the second one. She pushed her lips against his, engaging in the kiss. She thought she heard a random person wolf-whistle from another bonfire.
They parted, both of their faces flushed. Jiu Ruan shifted his body, "Please be my mate." He said as he wrapped one arm around her waist.
"I'm not ready. My body would get hurt." She said against his lips.
"I can wait, just let me-" He pushed her backwards until she was holding herself with her elbows instead of her hands. The hand on her chin drifted away, coming to rest on her left breast. Jiu Ruan palmed it through the snakeskin dress.
Chiaki's eyes shot open and she pushed at his chest, though it only allowed him to lay her flat against the ground. "Ru-" She breathed. "We're in the middle of a feast!'
Jiu Ruan pulled back. "So?"
"I- everyone can see us!"
He chuckled. "You think we are the only ones enjoying ourselves like this?"
Chiaki tried to refused to think about that. "Ru-" She pushed the though of there being other people having sex at the fires around them to the side. Instead she leaned up and caught his lips in a quick kiss. "We will not be mating tonight, my body can't handle it so soon after giving birth. But I guess we could-" Her words were cut off as the wolf didn't let her continue.
Her mates were both annoyed and excited by the sight of Chiaki making out with the wolf male. It had been almost a month without sex for any of them and the blood rushing to their loins proved that they felt it had been too long. Winston felt himself reacting in the same way, as he found himself longing to be the male she was kissing. Skye was openly staring at the pair, the tenting cloth around his hips a sure sign that he too was effected by the sight.
The scent of arousal escaped on the wind, effecting the males at the closer bonfires. The chain reaction washed over the whole field, as males and females began coupling in the firelight.
o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o
Chiaki was woken early the next morning by the sun rays shining in her eyes over the distant mountains. The top of her dress was crumpled around her waist, exposing her breasts to the cold morning air. Somehow her head was in Winston's lap or at least on his leg as he was asleep behind her. Jiu Ruan was asleep a few feet away on his back. Skye was curled up with his head next to her right foot. Bai Di's head was on her left thigh covering Curtis's snake mark. Qianhuang and Curtis were already awake, tending the nearly dead fire and the scattered food. There was a heavy musky scent in the air.
She jerked upright, crossing her arms over her naked chest. What in the heck had come over her last night?! It had to have been the pheromones. This roused the three males around her. Bai Di nearly cracked his head against hers as he was awakened suddenly and sat up.
"Oh! Are you alright? Please, did I hurt you?"
Chiaki took a breath, trying to calm herself. "No. No, nothing's hurt." She tugged at her dress top. "How do I get this back up? How'd I get it off my shoulders in the first place? It's the only part that's completely sewn together!"
Behind her Winston sat up, blushing at the sight of the bare back of the female in-front of him. Last night had been... amazing! To feel the tender touches of a female and the softness of her kisses. It didn't matter that she'd been giving other males attention too. His hands moved to rest on her sides.
Chiaki jumped as a pair of hands gripped her waist. She turned to see Winston with a bright red face and his silver colored eyes raking over her. "Morning." He said awkwardly.
"Good morning." She replied forgetting that the entire top half of her body was still uncovered.
"Wow. So different in the daylight." She heard Skye's voice. She turned again to find the black panther male staring at her chest. He was on his hands and knees, leaving him eye level with her breasts.
She blushed remembering that last night he'd done more than just stare at her breasts. She closed her eyes. She once again felt the tingle of his lips sucking on them. At first an echo of the night before, but as she lifted her hand she felt soft hair in her fingers. Not an echo she realized as his tongue swirled around a hardening nipple.
Memories of the previous night filtered into her mind. She'd- They'd- Somehow she'd ended up doing everything short of going all the way with the three courting males. True to their words, no hands had wandered under her skirt, but the rest of her had been free game. And she'd encouraged it! Had she gotten hornier as she'd gotten older? Five years ago, while still in collage, the things she was doing would never have crossed her mind.
"S-stop." She stuttered out. She'd lost herself to the passion the night before, but the sun was shining now and she could feel them being watched. She whimpered as Skye pulled away from her breast. She looked at him, knowing she had to have that same lusty look on her face she'd seen so many times on her mates.
She took in his more narrow shoulders, heart shaped face, and messy hair. Had she not been sure she hadn't had sex the night before she would have believed he'd been fucked all night, he looked it. She must look it, too. His hip wrap was no where to be seen, his hardness hanging heavy between his thighs. She pulled her eyes away from the sight.
Kisses trailed up her shoulder. Winston, given a whole night to explore freely showing confidence she wouldn't believe he had just the afternoon before. His hand cupped one of her breasts. One stopped, another started. It was the same as it had been last night. If she wasn't recovering she was sure she'd have ridden one if not all of the males to completion by now.
