"You're going to drag them into the cultivation revolution at this rate." Chaiki said as she and Huanhuan looked over the huge plants their mates had harvested and brought to Huanhuan's home.

"It's all thanks to the system I was given." Huanhuan smiled. "Well, okay. Maybe I have been trying to get the village to expand their ideas on food growing instead of simply hunting, and them trading for the few plants they eat."

"Plants are mostly eaten by females, a lot of guys I've seen are nearly one-hundred percent carnivores. If it wasn't for the fact they are different from the animals they are related to, I might think they couldn't eat plants. But I've seen them eating berries and tree bark and honey... well maybe that one guy was just eating the bugs in the rotting tree, but a lot of bark was getting eaten anyway."

Huanhuan made a face. "Bugs? Ewe."

"Yeah, I hope I don't have to survive on grubs any time soon either." Chiaki agreed. "But I understand, it was late Winter and there was nothing to hunt. I guess it's better than the alternative."

"Yeah." Huanhuan said softly, thinking about the loss of life during the previous Winter.

"I want to say thank you for the seeds, though. These are going to really help when I find a big enough area to plant."

Huanhuan looked surprised. "Isn't there space near the foot of the mountain?"

"Have you seen how many males rushed out to start growing their mates favorite vegetable when they saw the haul we brought back?"

"But they'll not grow like the ones I took care of."

"They don't know that."

Huanhuan looked thoughtful. "Maybe I should set up a shop in the market and sell the vegetables?"

"That would be a great idea! Think of the Spar you'd get for huge plants like these!"

"I -was- told to get more types of Spar. I only have clear ones and the special one from Sang De."

Chiaki nodded. She hadn't yet met this mysterious snake male that Huanhuan spoke so fondly of. He'd been gone for over a week and even Huanhuan didn't know what he'd gone to do. "Well, I need to get back home. See you tomorrow?"

"Yes!"

The cave home that Chiaki and her family had been given was not very large, the Black River tribe only used the space in the Winter and as mainly wolves were far more comfortable sleeping tightly together. It probably helped with warmth too. As it was, the cave home was only two rooms in size. One dedicated to sleeping and the other one used for everything else.

Chiaki marveled at the new item in the second room. It was a real wooden chest! With fitted corners that had to be pounded into place and a lid that was carved to sit both on top and inside the chest to keep it from simply being shoved off unintentionally. Bai Di was looking particularly proud of himself as his mate ran her hands over the smoothed wooden top. "You made this?!" She asked excitedly.

"Yes!" The tiger puffed out his chest proudly. "I was not able to make anything large during the last cold season because the wood was needed for the fire."

"I carved the top!" Sky added. Indeed the top had been carved by claw, depicting a large open sunflower.

"It's beautiful!" She said as she hugged Bai Di and then Skye, when did you find the time?"

They waved off the question, it was easy to find time to make something for your mate even when helping around the village and hunting. Truthfully, with the refugees from Highcliff City settled in the old Black River caves it had taken far lass time to get everyone housed than Frost Cloud had initially planned.

Hugging turned into kisses and touches, Chiaki realizing it had been several days that had passed last she had sex with her mates. With six mates she normally had only a day or two pass, the upheaval of the volcano and trip had caused more than a week to pass without it. And then she'd only had the one day when all of her mates had been suddenly free from their work, that had ended up being a love fest. Orgy? Did orgies have to have more than one pair of people having sex in the same room? She wasn't sure.

Still she was happy to find herself slowly working her way to orgasm with Skye, who during the Winter had gone from hormonal teenage quickly level to a thoughtful lover. He still seemed to love going down on her almost as much as penetration. Being between him and Bai Di was rather a rarity though, it was almost always Skye and Jiu Ruan working in tandem with each other.

Bai Di took over when Skye climaxed, Chiaki still on the edge. Shallow thrusts for the well hung white tiger were enough to bottom out Chiaki with the added size of the babies growing inside of her. He knew he'd not be able to fully sheath himself in his mate again until after she'd given birth.

Chiaki shuddered, her hips alight with tingling as she fell over the edge as Bai Di's larger size hit those places inside her just right. She cried out into Skye chest, panting heavily and faced flushed. Her mate kept going, his own need building but not satisfied until She cried out again as she was forced to stay at the peak, her body shuddering again and rhythmically squeezing the member inside of her.

Bai Di suddenly came, slumping over her back. He caught himself with his arms, while Chiaki sunk down onto Skye's chest further, all three breathing heavy. He pulled out slowly, a sticky line connecting their bodies for a second before it snapped and left a droplet of his seed where it landed.

"Love you guys." Chiaki said as she cuddled on top of her youngest mate.

Skye tangled his hands in her hair. "Love you too." He even gave a small nod to Bai Di, showing he seemed to have little jealousy left for the large white tiger male.

Bai Di nodded back, then pressed a kiss to Chiaki's neck. "I love you too."
