"What do you mean? Like not defending herself enough before you came?", Juliet looked confused, and Beast replied, "No, like I mean, saving herself and the cubs. Would you believe if she is motivated enough to dig the trap at the stake, to run, to get to a tree before the wolves get her, to protect herself and the cubs? Would that be the Perla you know?".
It... it made a lot of sense as Juliet gave him a look. "Where... where are you going with this?", she asked as Beast decided to just get right to the point.
"Perla... that Perla I brought back... was a fake.", Beast told her. "The real one... she was transported by a person that uses dark magic... cursed her into a beast, same as myself...".
Juliet widened her eyes in shock and anger, "What the fuck?! I knew something was off! I had a bad feeling all afternoon! Why is dark magic damning our lives over and over?! Wait?! How did you know?! Is she, is Perla okay?!", as she went into a pacing rant, with her arms flying all over the place before things started to hit her in realization, looking at Beast urgently.
"Perla's alright... she's... she's just been slow in trying to find her way home... carrying three of our children with her now, not to mention, still two more that she needs to give birth to.", Beast said as Juliet looked like she had just been slapped in the face or something along that nature. "F-five? She's having five children?!", Juliet exclaimed in shock.
Beast blushed, smiling sheepishly, "Being a beast has more power than I had thought...And she was eager very much too.", and Juliet exhaled in awe before smirking, "I should have known...She was always one to desire being treated in rough passion...So, wait, how could she give birth to five children?".
"I would never know now if it would be the same if she was human, but she has been giving birth to our children one at a time, more or less of a month each. Two daughters and one son so far...And they're perfect despite being like me and Perla now...", Beast gave a fond smile before exhaling.
Beast glanced at Juliet, "I think it's magic, good magic that's helping us to meet when she's in labor especially when she needs me, and just earlier, before you were waking me up, I was there, witnessing and assisting Perla as she gave birth to our second daughter...It was a close call this time...There was an accident earlier, causing her and the cubs to flee to safety, something about a man from her past, and she took care of him, and the man kicked her while he was losing the fight...Our daughter, Jolene, she was unresponsive upon birth, and I went to try something that I once saw someone doing before which was rubbing the back in a way that took water out of her lungs, and oh, you should have seen Perla when she heard our daughter's first cry of life.".
Juliet glanced away as she had an honest feeling what he was meaning with good magic there... not to mention the man from her past... the only one she could think of was... "Stromboli...", she whispered as Beast looked at her, "Someone you know too?".
Juliet snorted, "Not personally, but she did...He strived on greed and making a living on things people could never expect to see...Like you said, I never break a promise, and she has a few mistakes she regretted making, and Stromboli was one of them. And no, he wasn't a predator on women, but he stole something valuable that her father made from her person. And if Stromboli saw her and the children...well, keeping wild animals nobody hasn't seen in his show, you get the gist...", with an exhale, glad that Perla either mortally wounded the man, or killed him on the spot if he was threatening the children.
Juliet was a bit relieved that he seemed to have bought that for the time being, Perla promised her that she would come clean about everything to him... though hopefully, it would be sooner or later, especially with things being very serious now between the two of them. But... if he pressed Juliet, she might just have to tell him... and pray that Perla would understand if she was forced to.
Beast felt his primal side growling in response to the last comment. No one should threaten his cubs, ever! He took a deep breath, agreeing as well, and replied, "Good thing she took care of it...No one crosses a mother ever.".
Juliet smirked, "On that, we can agree. Perla may be kind and brave, but she's scary when it comes to situations involving Carlo, and now, with the new kiddos, and being a cursed beast, that's probably a new level up, then.".
Beast smiled, remembering the fire in her eyes when she had stood up to him, for Carlo, and then looked at Juliet, "There's one last thing she...she asked me while she comes home...".
Juliet looked at him, "Oh?", and Beast took a deep breath, "Months ago, before she got cursed, she told you that I gave permission for you two to remain as lovers yet being all mine...Well, now she did the same thing just before I woke up, and well, you saw the effects I was having on with her, but I didn't stay because of the magic and you waking me up...She was surefire on the point that I'm her true mate, and I agree on that, but...but now with her...away...I...I, it's infuriating to my wild side that I didn't get to reclaim her, and it's...If you don't want to, I understand.".
Juliet took a step back as she rubbed her temples trying to process everything, "Wait, let me get this straight, Perla told you that she wouldn't mind if we slept with each other? That we're alright to share each other like you are with me and her together?"
Beast nodded, "Yes. She said that. But if you don't want to, I understand as you could have a true love somewhere...I can just wait until the magic is stronger for me and Perla.", knowing that Juliet is more inclined to females since she's a tomboyish woman.
Juliet crossed her arms, once more showing off the slight tone of muscle on her; if Perla was more of a traditional girl, then obviously, Juliet kept her tomboy roots and certainly was having a tone to her over the past few years.
"Well, I mean, I'm not against it or anything... just... never really done it before with a man.", Juliet admitted. Beast blinked in surprise, "Truly? But you're single and you care a lot for this family! That could attract suitors...unless you believe that your true love is a woman.".
Juliet chuckled. "Don't go trying to pressure me into getting courted or anything like that, mister...", she teased. "But yeah, I feel almost pretty damn sure that the one I'm looking for is another woman... but Perla will always share a place in my heart even if the two of us aren't truly soulmates...".
Beast smiled, "Perla is that kind of woman to belong within people who see her as who she is. And okay, I understand. I apologize for being blunt.. Perla rubbed off on me, apparently.".
Juliet replied, "I want Perla to be with you intimately again...but perhaps I can make you a compromise...I am not bothered by your looks, Beast, obviously, but I could help you satisfy yourself just until the magic is stronger for you and Perla.".
Beast looked intrigued, "How?", and Juliet smiled, "Dry grinding.", blunt to the point. His eyes widened as Juliet chuckled, "What? Didn't Perla do some of that before the two of you actually did it?".
Beast groaned, "And I thought it was bad when the staff gossiped!", and Juliet laughed, "Sisters gossip too, don't you know? Don't worry, she never went into too much detail about it.".
"I'm glad to hear that.", Beast said as he took a deep breath. "Look, if this is too much for you, we can obviously stop at any point if you want. It's alright, Perla and me... we just got... a slightly different outlook on things when it comes to relationships and if you think that you can only do all that stuff for her if we get to your room and all...", Juliet smiled gently.
Beast replied, "About that, we can't afford to be in my room or anything if we talk about Perla in the open...I believe the dark magic, the person who cursed Perla, has been spying on the castle, if not me particularly, and if he or she dares to put a nerve on Perla, lying to her in a nightmare or something that I am cheating on her when she actually gave permission for me to talk with you about what happened to her, and such.".
Juliet blinked in surprise, "So, that's why there's no windows or anything of secret alcoves in this room, because it's deep in the castle, and he or she, the bad person then couldn't see us...".
Beast nodded, and Juliet replied, "I definitely don't want the bad person to put a halt into Perla's return, and if he or she dares hurt the children, Perla would do anything to save them...".
"Indeed...And I only desire to see her in her natural state, yes, but I feel weird about seeing you like that, and I also feel like betraying your true love even if she doesn't even met you yet, if that makes sense...Dry grinding is the only way I feel just a bit better than doing it myself as it has been difficult and lonely without her before I knew she was alive...", Beast breathed deeply.
"Juliet... I realize that maybe I'm being a bit soon with things... that maybe you should have a few days to think on it...", Beast said.
Juliet raised an eyebrow, "Beast, I suggested the idea in the first place for goodness' sake, and don't think I haven't noticed that your big boy is still hard after you have been roughly pulled away from Perla which I apologize for again...I didn't know you were visiting her then...".
Beast blushed, realizing that his primal side is agreeing with her points, and is happy with being satisfied with her help, but can be patient for Perla, to reclaim her finally, when he sees her again with the magic somehow transporting him when he becomes half asleep.
"I apologize for that...", Beast sheepishly replied, and Juliet smiled wryly, "It's alright, Beast, and besides, if we don't want the dark magician spying on us in your room or anywhere else with windows, this place is enough for us...", biting her lip, wishing that she had brought one of the compasses to hide the noises as she knew Beast can be loud, before her eyes caught a flash Beast didn't apparently see, seeing the two compasses, hidden by the alcoves between the door.
She mentally thanked Evangeline, as she knew that Evangeline could feel or hear wishes in her own way, and realizing that if the staff couldn't hear them, then they can't gossip, and then their gossip wouldn't be caught by the dark magician, and that means Perla and the children is safe from any more plotting by the dark magician.
"Well... do you wish for us to start now or...?", Beast asked as Juliet chuckled. "Hey, if you're wanting to start already, I got no problems with that.", she smirked. "Though... I must ask... you don't mind if I do give a few kisses and holding each other... always feels nicer when Perla and I do that.".
Beast replied, "Just affectionately, right?", and Juliet nodded, smiling, having no problem with that as she had a feeling that Perla and Beast's deeply passionate kisses on the lips are their own.
Taking a deep breath as Beast sat back against the wall, sitting on an old storage trunk, realizing that the room was nothing much but just a fancy storage room. He came here a few times over the years to pick up extra tiles and such for the roofs.
Juliet hummed lightly, "Do you want me to come on top over you, or do you want me to stand, while you grind against me from behind?", giving him the choice.
Beast blushed hard, hearing that one as she chuckled. "Didn't realize how quick to embarrassment you could be.", Juliet teased.
Beast raised an eyebrow, "You taught Perla too well...You're lucky that I love seeing her laugh and giggle when she teases me...", and Juliet shrugged lightly with a smile, "Well, I had to help her gain confidence somehow, hmm? So, top over you, or stand with you behind?", waiting for his answer.
"Top... sort of like the first time Perla and I...", Beast stifled his tongue there as Juliet smiled. "Yeah, I think we all guessed what those noises were the first time.", she said as she motioned for him to lay down.
Beast pushed the old storage trunk out under him, pulling an old chaise to him as he rested back on it, and Juliet grinned, "You're lucky that I'm in casual clothes, and dirt doesn't get much attention on them.", as she came into the chaise, caressing his fur on his lower legs, "Huh, coarse yet soft. Perla gushed a lot about wanting to sink in your warm fur during the whole winter, not that I could blame her.", with a chuckle.
"She loves sleeping on my fur, alright...", Beast chuckled, wondering for a brief moment if he could still be a personal furnace for her when the curse's broken. He watched Juliet come closer as she glided her hands over his trousers' sides, feeling himself becoming a bit bigger, knowing that he will be very tight in the trousers soon.
Juliet smiled approvingly, "Excellent...I half thought my approach wouldn't faze it as well, I'm not Perla...", with a halfheartedly shrug.
"Maybe it's because you're touching it... and what I know is coming...", Beast said as Juliet nodded. "That sounds about right. Now, just relax as I do this...", she told him.
Beast gave a nod as he relaxed, watching her as she slowly lifted herself over his big boy in the trousers, and then rested as her knees came around to rest on his thighs, swishing her knee-length skirt as she touched him through the trousers.
He gave a groan as she slowly started to grind against him, moving back and through, "Juliet! Oh...Please...", as Juliet rested her hands on his lower shoulders, kissing him affectionately on the cheek, "You're bent up, huh? Don't worry, ol' Juliet got this..", moaning as she kept going.
"Ugh... now... now I can see what Perla saw in you...", Beast said as she smiled. For many reasons... Juliet thought to herself.
Juliet replied, "Mama taught me that having a good heart to care for people is a good thing, and that it should be a gift, not abused.", and Beast smiled, "Leila is a smart woman.", before groaning and growling in pleasure, "Juliet...don't stop!".
"Oh, yeah? Do you want me to be faster?", Juliet grinned, and Beast begged, "Yes, yes, please!", as Juliet increased the speed as she grinded against him, moaning and grunting as she kissed him affectionately on the forehead and cheeks.
Beast held his paws around her hips to keep her grounded, growling in pleasure, feeling him getting tighter and tighter into the trousers, "Juliet...gods, I'm close! I'm close to cumming!".
Juliet hummed, "Not blaming you for being hard already when we agreed to this...Let's make this good for you, my friend.", hugging him as she pressed hard into him, grinding closer and faster.
Beast growled and groaned louder as he got even more tight in the trousers that it hurts, and for 5 minutes, sounds of pleasure filled the contained, soundproof storage room, thanks to the compasses, before finally, Beast came, giving out a hearty roar, his trousers stained with his cum.
Juliet grinned as she kissed him on the nose, getting off him, "Now I see why Perla didn't complain about getting goosebumps at the sound of your roars.", as she was happy to do this for him. She may be halfway wet, but she will satisfy herself in a warm bath.
"Juliet...", Beast panted as she gently brushed his cheek. "You're welcome... I know this has been rough on you since she's been gone... but hopefully she'll be back soon and then we can finally just get back to the way things were...", Juliet told him before there was a loud crack of thunder outside.
Both of them nearly jumped a bit as it caught them off guard. "Sounds like a storm's coming...", Juliet replied. "Sounds like it is already here...", Beast said.
Juliet replied, "When you saw her earlier, is she inside somewhere warm and safe?", and Beast nodded, and Juliet exhaled in relief, "That makes me feel better. The cubs can't afford to get sick or cold, especially your new daughter, Jolene. Speaking of which, what are all their names, next to Jolene?".
Beast smiled warmly, "Azure is the eldest, she looks like me without the horns or tusks, and the fur shades are in tones of black, having my eyes, and Eliseo aka Eli for short, is having shades of brown, with Perla's eye color on the right, and her mother's eye color on the left, and for Jolene right now, she got my father's shade of hair in the fur, dark auburn. Perla reassured me that she wouldn't ever be like him, as long as we teach her right from wrong, like the others.".
