Chapter 42: It Goes On

Sup Fam! I hope you're all well! Classes are going well, work is going well, life is getting a little better day. Also, March 11th just passed aka this stories 3rd birthday! Now before we dive into this I need to make something known that I forgot to mention last chapter. THIS chapter marks the beginning of season 3. Last chapter was the end of season 2. So...WELCOME TO SEASON 3 FAM!

After Ein's...outburst, the irate weasel woman a brief tirade on berating Caleb and the others, how screwed they were, and how angry she was at them and Drei. Caleb wanted to calm her but Drei stopped him allowing her big sister to 'get it all out her system'. After about 15 minutes, Ein finally started to run out of steam.

" ...aaahhh... that's it. We are done for. We are fucked cause you guys fucked! What would You do this Drei?! You know what our mothers are going think when find out we failed our mission cause we couldn't keep our charge's libido in check?! Our clans going become a laughing stock! ", Ein ranted on her throat tight and sore from nonstop angry talking. Caleb, Lyca, and Mirabelle look to her with concern and a bit disturbed not wanting to push her into another fit. Camilla and Zwei both sat with uncaring expressions. Both having become indifferent to everything happening about 10 minutes ago.

Ein plops down on the couch hunched over elbow to her knees groans lethargically.

"Are you finished?", Drei asks in an unbothered tone plopping a tender white strand of chicken meat in her mouth. Ein gives her a stern look wanting to retort but soreness in her larynx impeded such action. Instead, she plops

"Yes. Just...fuckin yes.", Ein said in a raspy almost defeated tone. Caleb then teleports to the kitchen looking for a cup.

"Good. Now you can finally listen.", Drei says finishing her chicken leg tossing the bone over her shoulder into the trash like a queen. Caleb teleports back giving Ein a cup of iced blueberry tea which she hesitantly accepts.

Drei proceeds with explaining the details of her plan she'd been working on for a while now and why Caleb and the girl's actions during the full moon were a necessary part of it. Basically, she's turning Caleb into a valid case for human-liminal polygamous relationships. Caleb, the girls, and her sisters were naturally surprised and skeptical at first. Drei reminds them of the tension right now every since the bill legalizing interspecies relationships was announced. Not just the violent humans liminal protestor and hate crimes but, as of late, a number of liminal groups from species that practice multi-spousal marriage speaking out at how the bill excludes even alienates them. Then there are the traditionalist humans wanting to reinforce their hyper-religous monogomous beliefs while these practices as invalid and abominable. Naturally, it would only be a matter of time before a powderkeg fuse is lit and ICEP would be forced by public opinion to put species like Camilla, Lyca, even the Zyklons under extreme scrutiny. In order to dowse the fuse, Drei proposes showing the public a legitimate, untampered example of a multi-spousal marriage, with multiple species no less, is entirely possible.

"So there you have. ICEP wins, other polygamous species win, we win, and the assholes lose. Any questions?", Drei says sitting atop the counter with her legs crossed with Lyca sitting in the chair next to her gnawing on a chicken bone.

"Yeah, I do. Umm...are you out of your damn mind?", Caleb inquired as the girls and the Zyklons gave inquisitive looks.

"No, but you seem to be out of character. Usually you're more over-the-top than that.", Drei replies.

"It's been a looooong ass day and it ain't even dinner time yet. And I must be still fatigued from my dreamscape experience with my now mother in law to believe in a bunch hypothetical worst case scenarios.", Caleb says rubbing his eyes before crossing his arms apprehensively.

"I have to agree. That all sounds purely theoretical Drei.", Ein adds.

"It's kinda disappointing you'd say that Ein considering YOU keep up with the current state of a affairs in this country more regularly than I do.", Drei says catching Ein off guard before continuing, "You're aware of the growing tensions between humans and liminals because the idea of Interspecies breeding is on the table. How long before we see incidents like in Shanghai, Wuhan, or Hangzhou?"

"T-Those have nothing to do the U.S. and besides those are classified!", Ein defended.

"What do you mean by...'incidents'? ", Caleb asks

"I just said it was classified!", Ein stated.

"Basically, examples of what happens when liminals and humans push each other over the edge. Home invasions, hate crimes, kidnappings, murder, and especially rape cases start skyrocketing. As a result, the entire species that participate in these heinous acts, even just ONE individual, are banned from the until further notice.", Drei explains much to Ein's frustration and Caleb and the girl's surprise.

"WHY WOULD YOU-"

"To give them perspective.", Drei cuts her off, "The way our country handled things is tame compared to HOW the U.S. would handle."

Caleb and Ein eyes widen in deep realization of what she meant. Mirabelle and the others look to them unsure how to respond.

"What happens when liminal species with polyamorous beliefs in this country are pushed too far? Forced to conform to more 'human' traditions. Reviled and persecuted by traditionalist humans. They, among the few humans that support them, would turn to more...extreme actions to defend their beliefs. In turn, the ones doing the persecuting will have even more grounds to deport these quote 'heathens'.", Drei explained as the others ponder what she was sayng, "Eventually ICEP would be forced to no longer allow these liminals in the program anymore. That includes OUR species. Don't forget, we're still technically foreigners. Our contract only grants us so much authority and can be revoked for ANY reason."

Ein and Zwei go quiet for a moment realizing she was right.

"Well...she does make a few good points.", Zwei admits as Ein gives her a look, "What? She does."

Ein groans facepalming.

"Ok, then WHY didn't you just-", "Ok, then WHY didn't you just-"

Caleb and Ein stated simultaneously before catching themselves and looking to each other in surprise.

"If you're both about to 'Why didn't you just tell us your plan earlier?', it's because you obviously would have rejected it immediately!", Drei says shifting one leg over the other.

"I mean...OF COURSE we would have objected to it because you realize what you'd been asking right?", Ein replies discontently.

"Yeah, even I gotta admit I'd have been...hesitant to uhh...go along with it.", Caleb admits rubbing the back of his head while noticing the dubious looks of Mirabelle and Camilla.

"I also didn't want to put any pressure on you guys. If this was going to succeed, it happen where you guys couldn't deny the emotional and sexual tensions and attraction any longer. You know, the natural way.", Drei explains drinking some tea she poured earlier.

"So what?! You still CHOSE to assist them in breaking ICEP law!", Ein insisted slamming her fist to the couch arm.

"Even IF I did nothing, these guys would have given in eventually. Look at these two for example.", Drei says looking to Caleb and Mirabelle both immediately tensing up, "If it happened with them, it was only a matter of time before the others followed suit. I just let them indulge themselves last night to clear up the tension."

"And what if they get pregnant huh?!", Ein demanded.

"That's not a problem.", Drei says before taking a vial odd liquid and a Ziploc bag of strange light green bean shaped pods as Lyca curiously examined it, "I had him use this on his junk before doing the deed."

"Wait, isn't that...", Zwei spoke walking to examine the bag.

"Yes. It's Māma's patented sperm killing concoction. I looked the botanical garden and I was lucky enough to find a few neem trees so I stuffed a few bags full of the seeds.", Drei says letting Zwei examine bag.

"What's a neem?", Lyca asks curiously sniffing the strange plants wincing at the garlicky-rotten egg smell as Zwei quickly closes the bag, "Ick, it smells gross."

"That means they're at their most ripe. It's a tropical herb usually found in parts of India and it's a natural pesticide. I guess that's why the garden staff have it growing there. I use the oil in the seeds to synthesize a Māma's spermicide.", Drei explained wagging the vial, "I imbued it with a little of my chi both so the effects will last longer and to lessen it's potency. I'm preventing accidental pregnancy not trying to chemically castrate the man."

Caleb cringes at the last part, "Jesus, you sure that stuff is safe?!"

"Of course it is. Māma perfected it herself( after some trial and error) and used on our father whenever they were in the mood but wanted protection without protection.", Drei says without a hint of hesitation.

"Too much information.", Caleb stated

"Waayyy too much!", Ein added with an embarassed blush.

"But not false. All I'm saying is this is the best case scenario where everyone benefits. He and the others don't need to hold back anymore, ICEP gets a free success story, other liminals have grounds to make their practices valid, and schmuck somewhere gonna get a big, fat raise.", Drei finished earning some thoughtful expressions everyone.

"Well, if it means I am finally able show my love for Señor then so be it.", Camilla says in a passionate tone, "I could not care in the slightest about other humans or non-humans, whether they approve or not, nor give a damn about ICEP. All that matters is OUR life with Señor."

Ein look to her incredulously as Caleb felt a warm sensation in his chest at those words.

"Indeed Camilla.", Mirabelle chimes in before snaking her arm with Caleb's and pressing herself against him, "I would honestly ask for nothing more."

"Me neither!", Lyca stated hugging Caleb from over the couch a nuzzling his cheek affectionately. Caleb loving strokes the tops of their heads.

"Uhh, I hate to break up the moment but...what about agent Sterling?", Zwei brought up as the others, particularly Caleb and Ein, felt a sense of dread course through being. They almost forgot about him.

"Oh. GOOOODS! How could I forget about him?!", Ein shouts in despair while holding the sides of her head.

"I didn't. We're obviously going to let him in on the plan too. He's already taking a chance with his own proposal so it's unlikely he'll disapprove...much.", Drei replied.

"We don't know that! He never explicitly stated in his proposal, 'hey, by the way, you guys have a free pass to have sex whenever you want'? It's not like- ", Ein pauses as realization hit, "Oh god. What if he already knows?"

Caleb and the others give her confused looks. It was then Caleb realized what she meant.

"Wait, you...you mean like with Filo that little fairy?"

"Yes! What if he's had another one watching us THIS WHOLE TIME.", Ein stated her eyes darting around trying to find out where their hiding place.

"Really? After what happened to last one, you'd think ICEP would let another take over so soon?", Zwei questioned also starting to observe their surroundings more closely.

"Well if not a Fairy, some other species that conceal themselves!", Ein stated look under the couch and around the other furniture for any traces of foreign presence, "A shapeshifter or even a slime. In fact, Zwei get some pepper we're testing every piece every piece of furniture and appliances in this house!"

"Calm down. It's unlikely he'd go have any third-party poopers watching us and risking his 'project' being compromised. Now, the next in-home visit is two days from now so I suggest we be ready to NOT fuck up.", Drei advised waltzing over to the center of the group and eyes Caleb and Mirabelle, "Trust me, there's a lot we have to tell him."

"Yeah, maybe we should START with the apparent newlyweds here.", Zwei gives a knowing smirk at the couple, "So does this make you Caleb Marequine or Mirabelle Bizzell?"

"Ooohh don't say it so casually! I already feel like my heart is going to burst. Honestly, what was mummy thinking?!", Mirabelle groans sheepishly covering her flustered face in Caleb chest as he pats her back

"Well...she may have overcompensated a bit-"

"That is putting it nicely.", Camilla added mid sentence.

"Ehhh...buuut at least she approves the kind of relationship we're in. Plus, it means you don't gotta leave. That's what's most important.", Caleb reassures with a smile. Mirabelle smiles back agreeingly

"I second that! I don't wanna imagine never seeing Mira again!" Lyca stated emphatically.

"Her approval means nothing to me. However, I agree I could also could not bare to depart from Senora.", Camilla nods in agreement.

"Thank you.", Mirabelle spoke warmly with a smile, "Thank you all for standing up for me."

"No problem Twilight Sparkle. Don't make it a big deal.", Zwei casually teases.

"You did great standing up for yourself too Moon pie, don't forget that. I respect the amount of strength that took to do that.", Caleb says hugging her close, "Even so, I'm still your man. I'm not just gonna sit and let anyone hurt you."

Mirabelle looks at him with soft eyes, "Thank you, Dear."

"Spoken like a true hubby.", Zwei teases

"Shut up.", Caleb retorts.

Ein lets out a tire sigh before standing walking with her arms folded. She turns to everyone throwing her hand up concedingly, "Fine, whatever, we don't have much option now."

The other exchange glance before Caleb teleports to Ein's side as she starts sulking. She barely even reacts the action.

"Come on, Ein. No need to get your face all torn up. Everything gonna be fine.", Caleb says putting on a grin.

"Are you sure?", Ein asks in a serious tone making eye contact.

"...No.", Caleb admits his smile vanishing and Ein's rolls her eyes, "BUT...we are in the same boat. Now we can either paddle or we can drift along until a big ass storm wave comes along and drowns us. We're gonna need a all the strong arms we can get and you're a strong woman. Please help us paddle.", Caleb offers his hand to her.

Ein looks to him seeing the earnest look in his eyes. Her demeanor softens and reluctantly takes his hand much to his relief.

"I-If we get fired I'll never forgive you.", Ein says coldly.

"Fair enough.", Caleb replies.

"By the way, why are you two dressed like morning after girls?", Drei inquires addressing her sisters less than professional attire.

Ein and Zwei are caught off guard not sure how to respond.

"Actually, they were wearing MUCH less than that when they busted in ready to beat some ass. I gave them some of my old clothes.", Caleb explains much the their shock.

"You don't say.", Drei says raising an eyebrow at her sisters.

"I-I-IT'S not like we did it intentionally! There were unknown assailants past the perimeter and had been incapacitated! No time to make assessments! Instincts! Our instincts took over!", Ein stated trying to justify herself.

"Yeah excuse us if we think your lives are worth more than public decency.", Zwei defended feeling insulted. Caleb gives an inquisitive look to Drei who shrugs.

"We understand and we are very grateful Ms. Ein, Ms. Zwei.", Mirabelle expresses to the wind weasels trying to cheer them up, "Thank you you both."

"No need for thanks Ms. Marequine simply doing our job.", Ein replied sitting up proudly as Camilla rolls her eyes, "Ah! And don't worry sir, we'll make sure to wash and return your clothes."

"Nah it's cool. In fact, you guys can keep them if you want.", Caleb says.

Ein and Zwei give him a look of surprise.

"R-Really?", Ein questioned.

"Sure. I told ya I don't wear them anymore. Use them however you want. Besides, they look good on you.", Caleb insisted giving them smile.

The two blush faintly caught off guard by the compliment.

"Well thanks Boss. Honestly, I'm just lucky you have good taste.", Zwei says twirling her finger on the shirt collar.

"I-I'll be sure to take good care of them. This doesn't mean your off the hook though!", Ein affirms with a slight blush in her cheeks.

"Didn't expect to be."

After some time to decompress, everyone went on about their business. Ein and Zwei swept the perimeter of Caleb's residence while Drei guarded the interior. Caleb called ICEP contractor to come out the next day to repair his bedroom door, which Camilla apologized profusely for, then secludes himself in his office to finish and send in a project proposal for his team's newest client. When he was done, he helped Camilla with her English reading skills while Mirabelle took over Caleb's usual role of helping Lyca understand basic math. Before long sundown came and it was time for dinner and to discuss their game plan.

Caleb and Camilla in the kitchen serving up dinner while the Mirabelle finish washing up and setting the table. Drei sat at the counter with her phone occasionally sneaking looks at Caleb observing his every move soon becoming lost in her thoughts.

"Yo. Anyone home?"

Drei flinches snapping her to attention as she turns surprised she didn't sense him.

"What?", she replied.

"I was saying the dinners done. We're just about ready.", Caleb says as Camilla walks by levitating the food they prepared for everyone behind her heading to the dining room.

"Oh? Good.", Drei spoke plainly.

"You alright? You were staring deadeyed at your phone while I calling you."

"I'm fine. Thanks for the concern.", Drei politely replies

"No problem. Hm...actually I just remembered something...about last night.", Caleb says as Drei eyes widen slight, "I remember I had this weird dream...about you."

Drei restrains the urge to gulp nor show any sign of having something to hide.

"About me? What was I doing?", Drei asks listening in anticipation.

"You were like...sitting in my lap and...", Caleb trails off remembering the nature of the dream, "uhh...y'know what? It was just a dream. A weird, dumb dream probably influenced by the moon or something. It doesn't mean anything."

Drei raises an eyebrow, "Hmm, probably."

"Yeah. Today's been a weird day. I mean I freakin' got married to my first girlfriend I've known for a couple MONTHS", Caleb said trying to divert the conversation, "Aight, we should go join the others."

"I'll be in there in a minute.", Drei says. Caleb nods and walks to the dining room leaving her to examine the video files on her phone. She then deletes one.

" 'It doesn't mean anything.'...I couldn't agree more.", Drei says to herself before putting her device away and heading to the dining room.

...2 Days Later...

The day of Sterlings visit finally arrived. Caleb and the girls were already mentally prepared and had a calculated game plan. The second he arrived they made him feel as welcome as possible offering to share breakfast with some freshly brewed coffee. He performed his usual evaluation on each of the girls and of course received very positive feedback on Caleb's caretaking skills. He was especially surprised that even Camilla was cooperative toward him. When it came time to wrap things up, Sterling pointed out everyone's odd behavior. He let them know he knew from the beginning they were hiding something. He then demanded they come come clean with whatever they REALLY wanted to say. They were silent for a moment with some, especially Ein, starting to panic.

It was Caleb and Drei who stepped and began to tell Sterling... everything; from the full moon events to Mirabelle's clan visiting to Drei's plan.

Here was his response.

...

Sterling sat silently staring at Caleb the other's in deep thought with his clasped hands to his mouth. He then take a swig from his flask of bourbon and clears his the throat.

"Ahem...Ok."

Caleb and the others were profoundly surprised by his answer.

"Ok?", Caleb mimics.

"Ok.", Sterling repeated calmly surprising Mirabelle and the rest even more.

"Wha...wow. Haha, this uh...a big surprise.", Caleb chuckles in relief.

"Believe me I know the feeling.", Sterling says with a plain smirk.

"Yeah, I mean we thought FO SURE you'd be angry.", Caleb

"Oh don't get me wrong, I am positively livid.", Sterling switches to a deeply venomous tone catching everyone off guard and immediately putting them back on edge as the air grows tense, "Not only did you commit one of ICEP's major offenses on THREE seperate accounts but you mean to tell me there MULTIPLE Nightmare from Ms. Marequine's clan in this room and you didn't even try to contact me. In any other circumstance Mr. Bizzell, I'd be choking the shit outta you. Right before slapping you in handcuffs and your houseguests AND bodyguards would be placed under ICEP watch either being deported or reassigned.", Sterling seemingly threatened as Mirabelle and the girls grew more and more uneasy with Ein anxiety growing and Camilla getting ready for whatever she has to do if Sterling dared make good on his statement. Fear started to creep up in Calebs being as her felt a lump in his throat.

"You should thank your lucky stars...this isn't one of those circumstances.", Sterling says much to Caleb and the other's surprise again, "In fact, I believe this works out rather well."

"W-What do you mean by that?", Caleb question cautiously.

"I mean, I agree with Ms. Drei. Honestly, the thought had occurred to me when I decided an the Multi-spousal marriage plan. If it's going to have ground to stand on there has to be feasible proof that relationships of this nature are not only possible but also sustainable. Can a single human truly handle the emotional...and of course sexual needs of multiple spouses? Well...looks like I now have an answer. Or, at least, the first successful test trial.", Sterling says as Caleb and the other look to each other.

"Yes, you do.", Drei steps up, "But even that is not enough I presume. You'll need further proof that their relationships are based on mutual consent and no third party involvement."

Sterling gives her an intrigued look, "Why, yes. I'm guessing you have such proof?"

"Ask and you shall recieve.", Drei says before producing a USB drive from her slave and handing it to him, "That's over six hours worth of footage. Each one showing how deeply Mr. Bizzell has bonded with each of his houseguests."

"Whoaaa, hold up. You've been recording us?! Like...the WHOLE time?!", Caleb stated as Madeline the girls were also quite shocked at their intimate moments being spied on.

"Not the whole time only what is necessary. Besides, I'm your bodyguard, it's my job to watch you very, VERY closely.", Drei replied nonchalantly with serious eyes.

"Reeeally channeling your inner yandere huh sis?", Zwei spoke.

"Only the useful aspects.", Drei replied.

"Useful or not, those are OUR moments! I'm ok with that no matter what the purpose is.", Caleb stated defensively as Mirabelle and the girls blushes feeling their hearts skip a beat.

"Admirable Mr. Bissell, but you have to realize that without these recorded moments your relationship with these girls won't have enough legs to stand on. At least, you have a higher chance of avoiding the worst case scenario.", Sterling informed in a warning tone before switching gear, "Don't worry, they will ONLY be used for objective research only under my close supervision. Trust me, ok?"

Caleb thought for a second, "Ok."

"Good, because now I'd like to talk about the fact that you and Ms. Marequine are now MARRIED under the laws of her clan.", Sterling says trying to hide the stress in his tone.

Caleb and Mirabelle look to each other in concern.

"M-Mr. Sterling we can explain! We didn't know. Mother never talked about the nature of a Chevalier until at that time!", Mirabelle insisted.

"There's no way we could've known ESPECIALLY not me! It was the only way to make sure Moon pie could stay!", Caleb added.

"There's a song lyric.", Drei commented.

"Calm down you two!", Sterling stated making the two go quiet, "I mean we can use that in your favor as well."

Caleb and the others look to confused.

"How? Exactly.", Caleb asks in an incredulous tone.

"Well, if in the case ICEP does try to separate you, there the of public risk backlash from Ms. Marequine's and other races claiming that our organization considers liminal marriage invalid. So, rather than light that dumpster fire I suggest we double down on my previous proposal with some suggestions from Ms. Drei here.", Sterling says gesturing to the wind weasel.

"What do you mean by 'double down'?", Ein inquired curiously.

"Simple, since the High Priestess of Ms. Marequine's clan acknowledges and approves the polygamous nature between Ms. Santana and Kessler, why don't we expand on that and say you are ALL married under Nightmare law? ", Sterling suggests.

"A-All of us? Married?", Mirabelle repeated looking to Camilla and Lyca.

"We can use this as a springboard for other host families with polygamous species. Start them off getting married under the laws of THEIR culture THEN, after obtaining permanent citizenship, have them married under U.S. law. It's like Common Law for Liminals!", Sterling stated nodding to himself in approval the more he thought about it, "Yeah...this could work but you'll have to do your part too."

"How do you mean?", Caleb says raising an eyebrow.

"Have more sex.", Drei said plainly making Ein choke comically spit out her tea...all over Zwei. Caleb, Sterling, and the girls were also taken aback.

"Really? There's like...5 other places you could have...sigh brb gettin a towel.", Zwei says going to the bathroom.

"The fuck?!", "The fuck?!", Caleb and Ein exclaimed simultaneously.

"NOT how I would have phrased it.", Sterling clarifies shooting a look at Drei who shrugs, "But yes, as she mentioned earlier in order for any of this to be worth a damn romantic as well as SEXUAL relationships among multiple spouses has to proven sustainable."

"A-A...Are you saying what I think you're saying?!", Ein stated incredulously.

"I'm saying...I'm allowing Mr. Bizzell and his houseguests to engage in...ahem physical relations."

"ARE YOU SERIOU-", Caleb, the girls and Ein shouted in sheer disbelief before Sterling caught them.

"BUUUUT...under a few conditions: First, no one, and I mean NO ONE outside this group can learn of this. Obviously. Second, if at any time any of you are SOMEHOW caught performing such acts, I will deny any involvement nor will Ms. Zyklons and her sisters be held accountable..."

Ein eyes widen at hearing that before looking to Drei curiously.

"Lastly, and most important of all, NONE of your activities can result in procreation!", Sterling stated in a serious tone, "Luckily that part shouldn't be an issue. Correct Ms. Drei?"

Drei takes a neem pod from her sleeve, "I have enough of these to make sperm killer serum for a year. If used correctly we won't have issues and he won't have issues down stairs."

"Perfect. Now then, Mr. Bissell, do we have a deal?", Sterling says standing up extending his hand.

Caleb glances to Mirabelle, Lyca and Camilla who all seemed to be on board before standing up. He firmly takes Stirlings hand "Yeah, we have a deal."

"YAAAAYY! This is great Chief! We can mate whenever we want now!", Lyca howled in excitement hugging Caleb from behind her tail wagging ecstatically and nuzzling her head into his back.

"Whoa, haha ok easy EASY now girl!", Caleb says turning his attention now to the She-wolf trying to keep her from knocking him to the floor.

"Heh. This is certainly a surprise. ", Camilla smirks with an intrigued tone before leaning over to whisper to Mirabelle, "Honestly, I did not believe it would work."

"I know, I was starting to have my doubts as well. Now I feel as sprightly as a tot", Mirabelle sighs then chuckled sweetly.

"What about ju, Señora Uno?", Camilla facetiously asks Ein.

Ein merely sits in stunned silence trying to comprehend the new reality of their situation. Camilla waves her hand in front of the weasels unblinking eyes and agape mouth.

"Alright, I'm clean, so what I miss? Where we at?", Zwei says walking rubbing her face with a blue towel the slinging it behind her neck.

"He's actually giving them a pass to have sex whenever they want.", Ein utters in pure disbelief weakly pointing her finger then letting it flop to the couch limply.

"Really?! Awesome! I guess we're going full on harem route after all. I see Lycs isn't waisting anytime.", Zwei points out seeing the She-wolf happily recieving headpats from Caleb. She then notices Ein didn't react merely sat stone faced with a look of profound shock.

"Aww come on sis. You should be happy for them.", Zwei says patting her sister's back comfortingly.

"I honestly have so many mixed feelings right now.", Ein says.

"Good, that's better than having zero feeling. I'm sure Baba(dad) would be proud sis helping another man with three he loves dearly.", Zwei assures as Ein ponders for a moment.

"...Yeah, perhaps.", Ein softly admits with small grin. Zwei then turns around hiding her flushed cheeks and lewd grin.

"( ~Plus, that means more sexy romp time I get to feast my eyes on. Huhuhuhuhu~)", she thought giggling and drooling a little while Ein and Drei raise a curious eyebrow at her weirder than usual behavior.

"Alright, then it's settled. This will be an added trial of of Multi-spousal marriage experiment. Keep me posted on their progress Agents Ein, Zwei, and Drei."

"Sir!", "Sir!", "Y-Yes Sir!", Zwei and Drei stated with a salute with Ein fumbling hers a bit.

"Hey, Mr. Bezzie, can I talk to you outside for a bit before I go?", Sterling inquires with a smirk. Camilla and Drei give him suspicious looks

"It's BIZZELL and sure ok.", Caleb says before Sterling grab his stuff then follows the agent.

"Senor?", Camilla inquires

"It's cool, I'll be right back.", Caleb assure before closing the door leaving the girls to discuss among themselves. Already he could he chatter from behind the door shaking his head with a smirk. He sees Stirling standing with his back turned beside his black Lexus smoking a cigarette with the plumes rising overhead.

"Alright then Sterling.", Caleb says walking up to the agent who then casually flicks the cigarette to the ground putting it out with his shoe, "Whatcha-AH!"

Before he could react, Sterling grabs Caleb by the collar and slams his back against the vehicle glaring at Caleb intensely.

"Shut. The fuck. Up.", Sterling retorted, "You and the others need to SLOW DOWN! You are doing too much. Ok?! You're doing too much! Can I have ONE goddamn visit to this goddamn house without almost having a goddamn stroke! Do you know the kind of shit going on lately?! All these protests and liminal hate crimes going on?! Watch the news some time!", he growled tightening his grip on Caleb's collar

"Ok ok! I know! This all just happened! I never intended for this crazy I'm sorry!", Caleb pleaded.

Sterling grits his teeth before shoving off Caleb making him fall to his knee holding his necks to massage away the pain. He glares at Caleb intensely in thought.

"I...I don't mean to make your job harder than what is Sterling. You have to believe that.", Caleb says picking himself up, Frankly, this just out of control. I mean...I never even imagined having one girlfriend let alone THREE wives. It's overwhelming sometimes. It feels like I'm slowly losing control of my life if I ever had control to begin with."

Sterling expression softens before going over and resting his back against his car, "Yeah well welcome to adulthood."

Caleb sighs putting his hands in his pockets looking around the peaceful neighborhood with the occasional car driving by, "It doesn't get easier does it?"

"Not for the most part.", Sterling says, "But then there are those moments where you find that moment of pure bliss that makes the bullshit worth it. Could be hobbies, a place, even people."

Caleb looks to him understandingly, "Yeah, I hear ya. I noticed quite a few of those when I'm with them. I'll do anything to protect what they give me everyday."

Sterling gives Caleb an inquisitive look, "What's that?"

"...a reason to move forward.", Caleb admit looking up to the blue cloudy sky in thought.

"Heh, cheesy.", Sterling says

"Whatever, it's still true.", Caleb scoffs.

"Well, at least you have have your reason. I have my own as well.", Sterling replies facing Caleb, "You have no idea how many like you want what you have Mr. Bizzell. Now you can choose to give up what you have...or give them their own. I wanna give them their own happiness. What say you?"

Caleb pauses a moment then answers, "I want to give them their own so I don't have give up mine."

"Good answer, .", Sterling says with a smirk before taking out his keys, "Welp, I'd say this was successful visit I look forward to what you'll surprise me with next time."

"Hopefully, nothing big.", Caleb says rubbing his head as Sterling smile fades.

"Yeah, but remember, just follow the rules I set up and I won't have to kick the shit outta you. Those fancy powers aren't gonna protect you from a good ass whoopin'. We clear?", Sterling professionally threatens with a hostile aura.

"Crystal.", Caleb replied quickly.

"Good.", Sterling says as the aura disappears and he steps in his car starting the ignition. He rolls down the window, "Oh, by the way, congratulations to you and Ms. Marequine or should Mrs. Bissell?", he says before quickly pulling out the driveway before Caleb could respond then driving away.

"IT'S BIZZELL DAMMIT!", Caleb yelled before flipping the bird at no one before noticing an elderly caucasian lady watching him curiously while carrying her cat in baby hammock, "Hey, morning to ya."

She turns around quickly walking away not responding.

Caleb rolls his eyes, "Oh yeah lady, like I'M the weirdo.", he says before heading back inside.

...

As Sterling was driving, he thought of the look in Caleb's eye when he asked him that last question. It reminded him so much of the look Fantina has whenever she spoke so proudly of her beliefs. He comes to a stoplight giving himself a moment of respite before he takes out Fantinas MON badge. He look to his passenger seat seeing a vision of her sitting next to him asking if he wanted to get a drink after their assignment.

In truth, he had his own reasons for all this. If the Bizzell house proves to be a success, imagine what that could mean for species like Fantinas as well? Maybe the ban on hers species will finally be lifted too. Maybe she'll stop this nonsense with the Malone family. Maybe...just maybe...she'll come back to him...err, ICEP, he meant. This was his chance to make for the past; for her and others like her.

"Yep. We all have the right to be a little selfish. We're just humans.", Sterling says tightening his grip on her badge.

*HONK* *HONK*

"GO DUMBASS! IT'S GREEN!", Screamed an irate driver in a red Chevy truck.

Sterling immediately to it as the guy and a couple others kept blaring their horns, "ALRIGHT! FUCK OFF ALREADY!", he screamed before hitting the gas.

...over 3 weeks have passed...

Somewhere in the city of Madison just 20 minutes from Huntsville, a young human woman wearing a sexy blue dress and matching stilettos sat inside a large company waiting room with her face covered by a mask.

"Sweet, so are things gucci on your end Madokki baby?", the lady spoke on her phone in a flirtatious tone

"Yes and don't call me that. I heard from the others that everything is ready on their end as well. What about you, Jennifer?', spoke a feminine voice.

"I'm working on it on my end bitch, don't trip. We spent like a week gathering intel and it seems accurate. Don't worry, this lady is good as mine.", the woman apparently named Jennifer says crossing her legs seductively as a man in business attire walks by so intrigued by her action that he loses focus and colluding into another guy opening the door all their stuff and making her snicker, "Oh, yeah! Since I'm down here in bumpkin land, I thought I'd get into character more."

'Please don't.', the voice said.

"YEEYEE! Which won'er you polecat stankin' trailer floozies done fucked ma man!", she says like an over-the-top southern lady catching some confused looks of passerbys.

'...Never do that again, that was terrifying. Now complete your end of the mission...',

*click*, the phone hangs up.

"Pssh, yeah yeah I know.", She said putting her phone away the picking up the manilla folder looking through the resume, credential, and project details of the person she was inhabiting, "Ugh, why'd you have to be such a neeeerd? Whatever time to get to work hard then play with some good old Alabama boys.", She emphasized doing the 'blowjob'-gesture with her hand and mouth before recoiling holding her mouth. She adjusted her mask and, for split second, revealed the deteriorating flesh and muscle tissue around her mouth with her teeth partially exposed in a holes that used to be her cheeks.

'Dammit! That being said, this vessel is starting to reach it's limit. I better upgrade soon before I can get any big Southern dicks in me.", Jennifer thought wide a lewd grin her eye glowing snow white for a second.

"Ms. Shine? Excuse me, are you Ms. Jennifer Shine?"

Jennifer looks up eyes widening upon seeing a beautiful ginger haired woman in business attire and lab jacket. She smirks through her mask looking the woman up and down hungrily.

"Yeesss Ma'am! And YOU must be the crazy daimond I've been looking for.", Jennifer teased inciting a light chuckle out of the woman.

"Ahhh yes. It's pleasure to meet you. Welcome to Boeing Defense and Aerospace Center. My name is Sasha Burns and I'm the Director of Dynamic Analysis.", she greeted with a smile.

"Nice to meet cha! Excuse the mask, got bit of a cold right now don't want to get others sick.", Jennifer giggled.

"Oh sorry to hear. I hope you get better so I can see that pretty face.", Burns complimented.

"I hope so too. It would suck having to where this all the time.", Jennifer chuckles.

" I know. Alright, If you would please follow me.", the woman says motioning for Jennifer to follow.

"Oh, I'll happily follow you anywhere.", Jennifer says following behind while taking a good at her NEW behind. Her pupils glow with a haunting white light , "You look great by the way. You do spin classes?"

...Meanwhile...

The last few weeks have been eventful but pleasant for Caleb and the girls. For starters, Caleb's company had recently been forming a partnership with Boeing Defense and Aerospace center thanks to a project proposal sent by the design engineering team( the group Caleb is apart of with Rodney as Lead Analyst). They recently started hiring Liminals to the company, mainly as custodians, receptionists, sales people, or machine shop workers and inspectors. There were mixed reactions among the other workers. Some were glad to see more diversity but several others actively disapproved and straight up resigned as they refused to work in the same office space as 'monsters' and 'monster lovers'. It was especially bad for those like Caleb and Rodney that were ICEP hosts to said monsters.

This was only a microcosm of the turmoil happening throughout the country. Protests against the legalization of interspecies marriage continues to run rampant with a growing number of violent hate crimes against host families and supporters of the LiL'SIR ( Love is Love, Species is IRrelevant) movement. It got even when the government announced it also working on a program to allow liminal children attend human schools. However, one event that absolutely shook the nation, be it human or liminal, was groups of neo-nazis, KKK, and a liminal hate group calling themselves 'monster hunters' took over the streets of Charlotte, North Carolina in mass protest of the 'creatures' invading the country, corrupting their 'human way-of-life', and the traitors that help them. Soon a mob of counter protestors arrived, many of them LiL'SIR followers, to defend their peaceful town. MON forces and police did everything they could to keep things under control but it soon spiraled into chaos and tragedy when two men, armed with M16s, took to the rooftops above the counter protestors and opened fired on the entire crowd. The men were quickly apprehended by MON amidst the panic and supportive cheers of liminal haters but not with claiming the lives of 31 people, 22 humans and 9 liminals, and severely injuring 17 others. This heartbreaking event opened the eyes of many at just how much hate and xenophobia is consuming the country.

There was even an interview with the victim's families including the homestays of the human victims during the protests. All of them voicing their grief over their lost loved ones. However, one that stood out among the rest was a Juro-gumo ( Arachne breed) named Jin-Ae who told of her awful experience in ICEP being treated with fear and disdain by 'could-be' hosts. However, an incident following arrest of an abusive host led to her meeting the man she later fell in love with. An ordinary citizen turned impromptu savior named Calvin Fritz. At the time of the tragedy, he was out shopping for them. He wasn't even a protestor...yet he received a bullet through the neck and bled to death with his scattered purchased items around him. Of the items, the Juro-gumo learned he had bought her a bunch of assorted die colors to use for her silk clothing; it was going to be a surprise as confirmed by a close friend of his. She expressed her grief and rage toward the people who robbed her of her happiness, her beloved, and the father of her unborn child. That last part absolutely SHOOK the media; no one expected that. She spoke how she didn't care what anyone thinks or if she is deported from the country, as long as she is allowed to raise their daughter. The living proof of the love they shared. She was then put under ICEP protective custody.

Shortly after, the president of the United States gave a speech addressing the tragic events that occurred in North Carolina along with the condemning the actions of the radical extremists by challenging their notion that coexistence is impossible. The presidents speech served as a message from the humans and liminals that believe in ICEP, desire peaceful coexistence, and wish for a future where everyone regardless of species can join hands as neighbors, friends, coworkers, even spouses. A message to the humans and liminals who wish for ICEP downfall, that differences with always divide us, that hatred for one another IS the answer. They're all outnumbered.

ICEP's Senior Director Judy Ginsberg later announced that the Interspecies Marriage Bill will proceed as planned. However, she subtly warns that the same punishment still applies if ICEP hosts and homestays are found guilty of copulation prior to the Bills instatement. While some hosts were understandably shocked and disappointed others understood the purpose was for their protection.

But enough drama let's get back to the Caleb and the gang...

It was another regular morning in the Bizzell household.

***Mini-Lemon***

"Haa! Chief! I'm so close!", moaned the voice of Lyca as silhouette of her undulating body could be seen from the curtain.

Inside the Caleb's room, the man himself lie in bed as the nake She-wolf rode him cowgirl-style.

Yep, nothing irregular here.

"Ah! Ah damn Lyca!", Caleb grunted huskily gritting his teeth alternating squeezing her toned muscular thighs and butt. He works up her toned abs and perky little breasts feeling the sweat of her undulating body as her lustful moans fill the room.

He looks up at the depraved, lewd grin on her face as she pants feverishly with a deep blush and tail swaying wildly. The little metal crescent moon pendant on her choker jingled with every bounce her body.

"Chief! Chief!", Lyca loudly exclaims quickening her pace as the sound of their lower flesh regions slapping together spurred her lust. Caleb digs her nail into plump, firm booty thrusting himself up trying to match her pace and feeling the deepest parts of her hot crevice. He give one final thrust firing his load as deep he could and triggering her intense orgasm. She throws her head back howling in pleasure as all her muscles contract before going limp and collapsing on Caleb's bare chest; both of them breathing heavily trying to catch their breath.

***Mini-lemon end***

"Haaa...That...was...too awesome.", Lyca panted into the crook of his neck even licking him a bit, "Morning sex is the best."

"Yeah. I agree. Still though-", Caleb started but was immediately interrupted when his bedroom door goes flying open. It was Mirabelle dressed in her pajama top and skirt.

"Dear? Are you up? You don't want to be late tod-", the Nightmare stated before noticing the pair and immediately blushed beet red, "Blimey! L-L-Lyca?! What are you doing? I only asked you to wake up Dear!"

"Ohhh, She woke me up alright.", Caleb says sitting up along with Lyca still against his chest before she scoots off him laptop standing up letting the sheet fall off her naked body catching Mirabelle and Caleb attention.

"Sorry Mira, I was. It's just...I walked in I was about to wake him but then I say his...thing just...standing up all hard and...I got closer and...your scent made me sooo hungry. I just couldn't help myself. Plus, I could smell Drei neem oil stuff was still strong so...", Lyca explained picking up her underwear and oversides t-shirt and causally putting them on, "I mean YOU would've done the same, right?"

Mirabelle paused a second sighing admittedly, "True. I probably would have."

"Aight, the fact that y'all are both in agreement about NOT refraining from sexually assaulting me in my sleep is disturbing enough, but I should make something clear here.", Caleb says sitting on the side of the bed, "When a man has morning wood that is NOT an invitation to take it for a ride sometimes he just needs to pee. You know what it's like having to cum while ALSO needing to pee? It's not fun."

"Ew gross, I don't want someone else's urine inside me!", Mirabelle shudders at the thought.

"Me neither. Especially if I'm sucking Chief dick. I don't wanna taste pee when he cums.", Lyca recoils sticking her tongue out .

"The almost never mix anyway so that's unlikely.", Caleb clarifies.

"Ah, so blowjobs aren't off the table after all! Good to know.", Mirabelle says in a chipper tone before switching to a more sultry one giving a lustful stare.

"I agree. I actually really like doing that. I would hate to give it up.", Lyca says licking her lips hungrily.

"Glad to see you girls aren't easily deterred.", Caleb relents before grabbing his phone seeing what time it was. .

"6:40. Ok good, looks like ya did wake me up on time Lyca.", Caleb says as the She-wolf gives a toothy grin.

"What time is your trip again, Dear?", Mirabelle asks.

"Rodney and I are meeting the client about the proposal at noon but first we're stopping by the office for something Hope we get it, this partnership is huge for our company. ", Caleb explained going to his closet and grabbing his work clothes then fresh underwear and socks from his drawer. He then opens a drawer and grab one of the many vials of spermicide Drei provided, "Aight, I'm taking a shower. I'll get breakfast started in a when I'm done."

"Ok.", "Kay!", Mirabelle and Lyca stated simultaneously before he teleports out of his room to the bathroom.

"Hey, wanna help me with my workout this morning? I wanna try out what I learned at the the gym.", Lyca asks.

"Hmm, ok. A good run might drive away my friskiness for a while.", Mirabelle says slightly shifting.

"Heh, yeah, I can smell your hormones from here. I guess Chief's scent is getting to you too huh?", Lyca spoke with a cheeky grin.

"And who's fault is that is that for stirring him up?", Mirabelle says narrowing her eye before puffing out her cheeks and crossing her arms in her signature Moon pie pout, "Hnnngh I should have woken him up myself. I wanted to be forced to resort to doing naughty things to wake him up!"

"Uhhhh, pretty sure if you WANT to do them then your not really being forced.", Lyca spoke sheepishly scratching the top of her head.

"Useless details. Now, the park or just the block?", Mirabelle asks holding out her palm.

"Park! We can have a race!", Lyca stated emphatically.

"Oooor a light run. Nothing too exhausting.", Mirabelle says not up for sweating beads at 6 a.m. before Lyca touches her palm

*zoom* They teleport out of the room.

Meanwhile, in the bathroom, Caleb had already stripped down, put out his clean clothes in corner sink top. He take a moment to look at himself in the mirror. He could see the results of his frequent workouts with Lyca and training with his Nightmare powers on days he didn't need to go to the office. Though still kinda chubby, he notices he had lost a little weight. His abs and upper body muscles were more defined and his lower was a bit more toned; especially his butt which Mirabelle greatly appreciated.

He then steps in the shower, turns it feeling for the water warm. When it was warm enough he steps in getting soaked before lathering himself with cocoa body wash. He sighs relaxing just enjoying the warmth covering him. Internally, he started reflecting on the last few weeks since Sterling essentially gave him and the girls a sex pass.

No soon as they had time to have sinkin, it was like something had awakened within them. Where does he even begin? It's like they cranked up their skills in seduction to a dangerous degree. Dangerous to Caleb's libido, that is. They'd pretty much take almost ANY opportunity they could to have sex with him. Luckily, thanks to Drei's assistance, he's gotten into the habit of using her spermicide oil on a daily basis so there is nothing to worry about in the anti-baby making department.

Of course, this only meant the girls were less restrained which led to some interesting situations but occasionally forcing him to reign them in with Ein's occasional help. He soon grew noticeably stronger and had a lot more stamina even confidence than before. A couple times they did it out in public but were careful in not being caught also partially because of the Zyklons.

Frankly, he was thankful for Ein and her sisters for always watching his back. He really needed to show his gratitude somehow.

He then touches the Chevalier mark on his chest tentatively as the warm water cascades over him. He closes his eyes, takes a deep breath, and concentrates. The mark glows faintly as he raise his hands forming a purple spherical energy barrier between his palms. He moves his palms closer together condensing the sphere into a tighter dark purple ball. He focuses and absorbed it allowing his entire body to be covered head to toe in viscous-like ripping aura. He could no longer feel the water hitting his body. He moves his head directly under the showerhead, eyes wide open, and the water droplets literally bounced off his body like plastics beads.

As mentioned earlier, Caleb had been training his Nightmare abilities and has made noticeable progress with the help of the girls...and little bit of Madeline's instruction to Mirabelle via astral projection on his progress. Teleporting came naturally to him for some reason and, for now, he can teleport a maximum of 50 feet by himself and could do so 10 times successively with a 2 minute cooldown in between. Through a few trials, he and Mirabelle learned they could teleport much greater distances if they were physically touching, even just their fingertips. The maximum so far is about 20 miles with a 15 minute cooldown. Mirabelle even taught him one of her clan's stealth techniques that silences footsteps and conceals his presence which he quickly got the hang of. As for mana control, Caleb was slowly getting better at manipulating it and conjuring durable energy barriers to to point where her could now cover his entire body in almost invisible protective armor. He figured out he could use It offensively by incorporating some Judo techniques. It still took a lot of concentration and energy on his part but he was making progress.

It didn't take long for Caleb and the others to realize that his powers were tied to his mental state; strong emotions more energy output. Furthermore, thanks to some information from his now mother-in-law, he learned that the frequently mating with Mirabelle actually makes them both more powerful.

Or, as Madeline put it, the connection between them is something of a symbiotic relationship. Caleb supplies Mirabelle with plenty of his "spirit energy" which her body converts to mana, amplifying her natural abilities, and any surplus is transferred to Caleb for his usage.

These changes didn't bother him too much. He loved his girls and enjoyed every single moment with them no matter how overwhelming it could get. However, the way things are right now in this country, in this state, and the looming threat of the Malones, he knew he couldn't afford to be careless. No matter how hard it gets, he needed to protect the life he has now. If these powers can help with that he'll use them.

Caleb raises his arm up seeing the rippling covering his hand. He clenches his fist focusing on anything that makes him angry. The aura around his fists began to pulsate with purple electric sparks before dark purple flamelike wisps covered his fists.

"Alright, guess that's enough.", Caleb sighs calming down as the purple aura fades into his body allowing the water to once again make contact with his skin rinsing off any soap left before turning off the shower. He steps out the shower grabbing his towel wrapping it around his waist.

"Huhu, finished sooner than usual I see.", spoke a sultry voice making Caleb flinch before turning to see Camilla sitting atop the bathroom counter her legs crossed. She wore a large white wrapped around her curvaceous body and nothing else. Her ample J-cup cleavage pushed the poor cloth to where the whole thing could fall off any second and the combination of her thick child-baring hips and plump thighs and Latina butt accentuated her devilish charm.

"See something ju like Mi Amor?", Camilla asks in a sultry tone staring with lustful gaze her slender spade-tipped tail swaying sensually.

Caleb clears his throat, "Maybe not something but definitely someONE. Were you uhh watching me the whole time?"

"I only walked in moments ago. I was going to ask to join ju but ju seemed to be practicing with your mana and I didn't want to interrupt", Camilla says getting down from the counter closing the distance between them as Caleb feels body heat up in excitement and a familiar stiffness downstairs. Camilla smirks sensing his arousal.

"Y-yeah just thought I'd sneak some practice in. Did you want something?", Caleb plays coy already seeing in her eyes exactly what she wanted.

"I was going to have bath and I need help with my wings again.", Camilla emphasizes spreading her large demon wing nearly making the towel fall off, "I really need some...strong, attentive hands to get every last inch.", She emphasizes walking her clawed fingers up his firm chest staring hungrily with demonic red eyes.

Caleb takes her hand gingerly and looks her right in the eye not back down, "Well lucky for you my Devil Darling, these hands are no stranger to a girls wing-related needs.", he finishes kissing her hand making her smirk with a blush.

"~Huhu, that will do nicely~.", She spoke walking past him sensually swaying her shapely as Caleb looks on wordlessly. She then undoes the knot on her towel allowing the fabric to fall to the floor making Caleb's eyes widen see her fully naked sexy back and plump latina hips and butt. She stops before rounding the corner to the large tub to smile at him temptingly, "~I'll be waiting.~"

Caleb watches her round the corner as her tail sways behind her.

'Times like this I think there is be a God and he is testing me.', Caleb thought to himself with a sigh. He grabs Drei's spermicide and applies the entire contents on her privates barely flinching from the burning sensation. He grabs a sponge and proceeding to the tub.

...Another lemon...

Camilla sat in the tub with her back turned breathing laboriously and trembling with pleasure as Caleb lathered her right leathery black wing in cocao and shea butter scented soap suds already finishing the other. She mutters something in Spanish under her breath.

"That feel good?", Caleb says working his way to where the base of her wing connects to her shoulder blades. She nods arching her back feeling a surge of pleasure.

"S-Si! Haa...haa...muy bueno Señor haaa...", Camilla replies hugging her ample chest together shuddering in delight with every circular motion he made on her leathery but smooth wings.

Caleb smirked having learned she was indeed enjoying herself whenever she goes full Spanish. He could then feel her tail snake around his waist rubbing against him; yet another good sign. He stands up giving her a moment to catch her breath and rinse off her wings by wringing out the sponge over them. As the suds trickle down her right wing he notices vertical scar near the bottom where that asshole slashed her. He felt a tinge of anger before calming himself before finishing up.

"Alright, that's done. Want me to do your head neHAAA?", Caleb elicits upon feeling a set of clawed fingers fondling his balls before looking down at the hungry Demoness smiling seriously with body glistening alluringly with soapy white foam.

"Actually, I believe it my turn to take care of ju.", She spoke seductively beginning to stroke his hardened manhood then proceeding to swirl her forked tongue around the head of his penis making Caleb groan in pleasure at the sensation.

She pressing her naked form against his thighs before slowly stands up dragging her soapy breasts like large sponges up his body making him quiver at the sensation. She takes the initiatives a gently pushes him backwards guiding him to the edge of the tub sitting him down before straddling his lap. Her body felt heavy against him but not in an unpleasant way. She pulls his face her chest smothering him in slippery wet mountainous flesh making her coo in delight at little stubble tickling her flesh.

"Mmmph AH C-Camilla...come on.", Caleb spoke looking up at her from her breasts which Camilla thought was cute, "I need to get dressed. I don't wanna haa... be late. I still need to make breakfast for y'all too.", Caleb lightly groans trying to fight a losing battle against her prison of desire. However, the feeling of her wet, mountainous breast smothering him, soft but firm rear in his lap, and her womanhood glistening with soap and love nectar grinding against his hard shaft made that a near impossible task.

"Ju worry too much Señor. It is still very early even the weasels are not here yet.", Camilla assures petting his head then lifting up his chin lock eyes hungrily with his, "Besides, hearing ju and Senora Lyca so earlier in the morning...I could not resist having a morning meal too. Please, let me taste your delicious spirit energy.", Camilla says with a grin her eyes taking on a demonic red glow as she grinds her ass harder into his lap.

Caleb shudders instinctively moving his hands up and down her sides coming to her plump ass and giving a light squeeze making her gasp.

"A-Alright, I guess...a round won't hurt.", Caleb moans digging his fingers in her malleable butt making Camilla quiver with delight. She then brought her down closer to his.

"~Kiss me Señor.~", She moans her heated breath hitting his lips.

Caleb obliges her smashing into her plump, soft lips humming as her broad, forked tongue against his lips wanting access. The two intertwined their tongues in heated passion for a minute before pulling away with a strand of saliva connecting them. Camilla raises up on her knees positioning herself over her hard member before lowering down with Caleb help guide her.

His tip prods her so soggy entrance before being greedily swallowed almost to the hilt. Camilla arched her back as her moans of pleasure echo throughout the bathroom hugging him tightly. Caleb clenches his teeth groaning from her smooth walls coil around his manhood. The strange glowing uterus mark appears again on her lower stomach which they found apparently happens every time he enters her.

Camilla's hips start moving instinctively transitioning into her bouncing up and down taking his cock as deep as she could. Her tails wraps around both of them trying to connect them even more. The sound of her ass repeatedly slapping against his lap along with her breast bouncing tempting spurred on Caleb's lust as he thrust upward trying to match her rhythm. He moves one of his hands from her butt to her bouncing breast digging his fingers into her squishing flesh and messing with her nipple making her moan louder. He then takes it in his mouth alternating sucking her hard and swirling his tongue around her flesh bud as the demoness moans loudly to the ceiling holding his head securely.

"AHH! Señor! So intense! I love it!", Camilla huskily moans mouth agape eyes clenches in sheer pleasure.

"I know ya do. Haa...like how I know... you love it when I suddenly take the reigns.", Caleb uttered before grabbing under her thighs and picking her up to her surprise. He sits he on tubs edge as she looks at him in anticipation, "Turn around please!"

Camilla lightly giggles at his polite assertiveness before doing readying herself placing her hands to the tile for support.

"I am ready mi amor.", She spoke seductively swaying her butt with her tail brushing up his erect member.

Caleb grabs her hips lining himself up before thrusting inside her again. Camilla moans loudly in pleasure at being taken from behind by her 'Destined One'. The slapping sound of wet flesh delighted their ear drums as Caleb relentlessly pounding her ass. He grabs two handfuls on her ass cheeks molding them together as her tail wraps firmly around his waist.

"J-Ju love mi culo don't ju Señor?! That is fine! Use me any way ju want! Ay!", Camilla spoke in delirious lust as drool escaped her lewd grin.

"It's a fine ass! I can't help it!", Caleb grunted pounding her harder and faster like a jackhammer creating ripples against her posterior with every crash on their hips. He was already reaching his limit and he could she was too.

"¡Oh discordia, sí! ¡Fóllame mi amor! ¡Empapa mi vientre en tu deliciosa semilla! ¡Sí! ¡SÍ!(Oh discord yes! Fuck me my love! Drench my womb in you delicous seed! Yes! YES!), Camilla bellowed breathing laboriously tongue hanging from her mouth digging her claws into the floor tiles.

"Haanngh!", Caleb elicits giving one final thrust shooting his hot load deep in her love canal. She screaming in pleasure as her orgasm hits her like a tsunami washing over. Her body shimmers with red aura as every muscles tense up before she goes limp against the tub.

Caleb pulls out of her as the mixture of their orgasms leak from her entrance into the water.

***Lemon end***

Camilla rests her upper body against the floor tiles trying to catch her breath as Caleb stands behind her also panting hard. He walks over and sits next to her before leaning over brushing her hair from her face. She smiles at him before raising up on her elbows puckering her lips with closed eyes. Caleb leans down enjoying a tender kiss with the beautiful Elder Devil before parting staring at each other a moment.

"Ok...aside from me, what would you like for breakfast?", Caleb teased with a smirk.

.

.

.

.

After the events in the bathroom, Caleb got dressed and decided to start on breakfast with Camilla joining him to halve his workload. She even used a spell she recently invented to protect his clothes from getting dirty. Mirabelle and Lyca returned from their workout with the former sweating profusely and the latter extremely proud of her workout progress but also sweating alot. The two went in the back for a much needed bath. Camilla couldn't help snickering deviously as Caleb playfully rolls his eyes.

Meanwhile, the Zyklons were doing the usual morning routine of surveying area of Caleb's home for any suspicious changes. Ein and Drei appears in a gust above the roof of a two-story house a couple block from thier house.

"All good. Nothing out of place on my end. You?", Ein asks.

"No, unless you count that.", Drei says pointing to a male Kobold liminal walking two labrodor retrievers on leashes, "Something about that feels wrong."

"Well, aside from...that...I'd say everything is good. Yeah. Good", Ein says as Drei notices the tone in her voice.

"Something wrong?"

"Nothing, I'm just...still coming to terms with all this. I mean it's almost 3 weeks since agent Sterling agreed to your plan and...I wonder if what we're doing is right. Mr. Bizzell and the others are definitely happy but...it's definitely not safe considering the chaos going in this country. I just wonder...", Ein trails

"What would dad think?", Drei finished as Ein doesn't answer, "Ein, you know what dad went through for us just so he could be with our moms. What makes people like Bizzell any different?"

Ein thought for a moment, "I...guess you have a point. Still...do they HAVE to go at it so often?! S-Sex I mean. They even did it in public a couple times! Luckily were able keep them from being discovered."

Drei looks off to Caleb's house, "They've been pent up for awhile. Plus, they are all technically newlyweds. It's best to just let them fuck themselves sick of each other like all married couples."

"Maybe but still, I know it's our duty to always be near them but...hearing them and sometimes SEEING them...in action just...makes me feel... weird and...left out? Is that wrong?!", Ein confesses blushing in embarrassment.

"Such is the burden of lifeguard duty. All the eye candy but none of the fun until someone needs CPR.", Drei commented.

"Not only that but... Mr. Bizzell's scent is getting stronger. ", Ein trails off blushing, "It's getting harder to maintain composure when I'm around him."

"Drei gives her a look then turns away, "It's a byproduct of his relationship with them. I'm sure with enough exposer we'll adapt to it.."

"Of course, but what about other females outside the house? I don't want a repeat of 2 weeks ago with those Echidnas.", Ein says grimacing at the memory of them.

"Then Mr. Bizzell will have to get used to regularly breaking hearts. That's easier said though so we'd better brush up on reverse cockblocking skills.", Drei replied.

"Sigh, well anyway, at least we've done well keeping them safe all thing considered. Heck, even Zwei has really shown more initiative lately. She's been diligently surveying the security cameras in Mr. Bizzell house almost nonstop. Glad to see she's taking her responsibility seriously.", Ein praises.

...meanwhile in the underground panic room...

Zwei was watching the security feed from this morning of Caleb and Lyca having sex while. She was naked in a swivel chair furiously masturbating with dark brown dildo she ordered some time ago.

"Oh yeah! You ride him Lycs! Ride that dick! RIDE IT! RI-AAHAAAA!", Zwei screams out as she came hard in the chair. Good thing the walls are soundproof down there.

...back to her sisters...

"Yes. She has really cum into her own as a bodyguard.", Drei commented with a plain expression

"What does that mean?", Ein inquires curiously tilting her head.

"It means I'm hungry. Please go see if they've started breakfast while I go 'relieve' Zwei of surveillance duty for now.", Drei spoke.

"Ok. See you.", Ein replies as the two generate a gust of wind vanishing.

...

The members of the Bizzell household and the Zyklons enjoyed a wonderful breakfast together as per usual. As they were finishing, Drei came out and said that she alone will accompany Caleb during his meeting seeing as the location was already heavily secured. Her sisters didn't object but Caleb was a bit surprised. The last few weeks he noticed she had been acting bit strangely around him; sometimes coming off a bit cold and distant.

Finally, it was time to leave.

"No need to be nervous Dear. You'll do brilliantly.", Mirabelle encourages fixing Caleb's collar and necktie inspite of his insistents that it was fine.

"I-I'm not nervous. Who said I was nervous?", Caleb assured.

"You didn't have to say it Chief. I can smell your your sweat from here.", Lyca points out sitting on the couch with Zwei.

"That nose of yours is a blessing and a curse.", Caleb replied.

"Mostly the former and you know it.", Lyca spoke with a cheeky grin.

"Well, that just goes with saying.", he spoke.

"Among other things.", Camilla chimes dissipates a blur magic seal after finishing the dishes as she approached the counter, "Are ju nervous about presenting your ideas to those humans, Señor?"

"It's a project proposal and... really I just wanna know why the hell the Branch Manager chose ME to do this with Rodney? I mean, this is usually Rauj's area I've never done one myself for a real client; especially one this big ...", Caleb said anxiety coming to the surface before Mirabelle cups his cheeks.

"But HE is not you my Dear. Your director probably saw something in you and if it's the same phenomenal speech you've practiced with us then it's understandable.", Mirabelle encourages.

"Granted, we still only half understand what you're talking about.", Zwei casually admitted earning a stern glare from Ein.

"I just know what you do is really, REALLY complicated.", Lyca addeds, "But that shows how smart you are Chief, since you can talk about like it's regular conversation."

"Personally, Sir, I believe you do an excellent job of conveying the information in an engaging and clear manner. I'm sure they'll agree to a partnership with your branch when you knock their socks with your speech.", Ein spoke assuringly.

"And if not, it will be their loss. Foolish humans as those deserve nothing good to come to them.", Camilla spoke a bit coldly folding her arms earning looks from the Zyklons.

"Ms. Sartana, what did we talk about?", Ein calmly warns.

"That only applies when they are in this house for a purpose or if I'm in public. Right now, I am in the comfort of mi casa with no other humans in sight.", Camilla affirms.

"What about me?", Caleb inquires.

"Of I never include ju Senor. Ju are mi Destino NOT a foolish human.", Camilla replies

"What about Cheryl?", Ein points out as Camilla shoots her a glare, "She seems to really like you. It couldn't hurt to-"

"I will stop ju right there!", Camilla cuts her off, "That chica is tolerable at BEST and she barely deserves that."

"Still, 'chica' is at least a notch above just 'human or foolish human', Ein pointed out.

"Do not start with me. I will burn off every strand of hair from your body.", Camilla half-threatens generating a small green seal from her fingertip.

"Ok! Jeez.", Ein waves off.

"What we're TRYING to say Dear is you have nothing to worry about. You were picked for this and for a bloody good reason. Give it you best.", Mirabelle says kissing him on the cheek.

"Thanks you guys.", Caleb felt more relaxed and smiles warmly before cupping a finger under Mirabelle's chin and kissing her sweetly before separating, "Love you."

*zoom* Caleb teleports in front Lyca to her surprise to plants a loving kiss on her lips then repeating the same phase making her smile.

He teleports again in front of Camilla and gives her the same loving treatment to her delight. He then teleports to Ein and Zwei giving them a par on the head to there surprise while requesting they 'handle things while he's gone'.

Both were caught off guard by the gesture, blushing lightly, but still assured he could count on them.

"Ok, let's go Drei.", Caleb say reaching down before she blocks his hand.

"Nope. None of that.", Drei says giving him a cold look.

"Sorry.", apologized before grabbing his stuff.

Love you too Dear.", "I love you too Chief.", "Te quiero, Senor(I love you, Senor), the girl harmoniously spoke.

Caleb smiles before heading out the door.

...Work 10:50am...

Caleb and Drei arrived at his firm to meet up with Rodney who texted that he was picking up some last minute reports from the rest of their team. He exits the elevator seeing welcome by the sounds of people answering phones, working on their computers, or moving about for one reason or another. The only major difference was the noticeable number of liminals now working on this floor. Apparently, after the 'monster haters' quit it left a lot of open positions for any Liminals apart of ICEP workforce program to to apply. Most of them on this floor were of humanoid appearance; Several Elves, a few Monoeyes, a small mix of Werecats, rabbits, and foxes, and two blue oni women.

As Caleb walked through the department heading to his team's usual meeting room, he noticed a few humans shoot malign glares his way with some whispering spiteful even some racist comments. He chose to ignore them looking straight ahead. On the opposite end of the spectrum, Caleb noticed many of the liminals, most of them female, staring at him with curiously with flushed cheeks. The second he looked their way some avert their gaze in embarrassment while others winked or made other seductive gestures at him.

He had no idea what their attraction towards him was all about but didn't mind as long as they don't get TOO handsy.

Caleb the meeting room where he sees the rest of the team sitting around the table as he quietly stood in the doorway listening.

"Ok, so with this we should be able to keep the processing costs to just below the minimum.", Spoke a Caucasian lady dressed business casual present a large grey binder filled with notes and charts to Rodney who nods understandingly. She then notices Caleb, "Oh, hey Caleb!"

Rodney along with 3 other members turn to Caleb.

"Hey Rachel, sorry to interrupt.", he says taking a seat and closing the door.

"Oh you're good. I was just getting Rodney caught up on a few things.", she clarified.

"By that, She means 'I forgot to send out memos to everybody now I have to scramble at the last minute and hope for the best.' ", taunted a tall Caucasian man in business attire( for reference, think of Jim from 'The Office').

"Ah screw you, Clay!", Rachel chided.

"I don't date coworkers. Plus, the new receptionist downstairs is way cuter.", Clay replied.

"I didn't know taller women were your thing.", commented an dark skin man with noticeable Indian accent.

"Tall, smart, and sweet, the most attractive traits of any woman.", he says in a whimsical tone.

"I guess Ray's 1 outta 3 then huh?", Rodney making the others chuckles heartily as Rachel wore a jaw dropped. Caleb cracks a smile a bit.

"Ok, you are reeeeaaally lucky you're my boss.", Rachel stated glaring at him menacingly but in a joking way.

"Alright, Caleb man, wait for me I'll be done in minute then we'll head on down there.", Rodney advised.

"Ok."

"Do not be nervous just speak calmly and clearly. This is a huge deal for our department and we cannot afford mistakes.", Raj emphasizes.

"Thank you for the reminder Raj", Caleb says glaring at him.

"Raj, just because you're salty about NOT being selected doesn't mean you can put uneccessary pressure on him.", Rodney chided him to which Raj reluctantly apologizes and Caleb more or less accepts.

"Aw come on, he has no reason to be nervous. He's the Equalizer.", Clay spoke with a knowing grin.

"Oh goddamit...", Caleb mutters under his breath in annoyance.

"Yeah! He sure is the Equalizer! Look at him with that Denzel swag.", Rachel playfully stated quickly joined by Rodney and the others.

"Ughhh. Please. Stop.", Caleb bemoans covering his face in his hands.

***Narrator sidenote***

For those who don't know, a couple days ago, one of the former employees in the accounting department upstairs who quit due to the hiring of liminals somehow snuck inside the building with the intent of killing his liminal replacement. He found them and attacked with a large hunting knife spewing garbage like, "You creatures won't replace us!". He was then knocked unconscious by Caleb who was there at the time to pick up some cost estimates and instinctively acted. The man was subdued later arrested and the liminal person was taken by MON for questioning. Naturally, Caleb was praised for his deed but didn't want the attention. The event made him more popular with the liminals and liminal supporters of the building.

***Sidenote end***

"Hey, come on we're just joking man. It's awesome how you protected that girl. I wish I could've seen it myself.", Clay assures.

"Yeah, it was on YouTube for a short time but now ICEP pretty much takes down anything like that within an hour.", Rachel says a bit disappointed.

"Hey whatever happened with that Nekomata lady anyway? Did she ever get to thank her hero before he rode off into the sunset?", Raj jokingly inquires.

"Ok that's just-", Caleb started but was interrupted by a knock at the door.

"H-Hello?", came a familiar feminine voice.

"Uhh come in?", Rodney spoke.

The door opens and there stood the Nekomata lady wearing casual business attire; light green long sleeve dress shirt with black pants. She had piercing green feline eyes, light tan fur covering her leg and arms ending in large 5 digit cat-like paws, large cat ears, and twin white-tipped tails protruding from her back. She a slim but curvaceous figure with perky D-cups and plump, shapely thighs and rear. She wore a black leather bag on her shoulder. A small grin crosses her lips the second she spots Caleb.

"M-Mr. Bizzell?", She inquires shyly.

"Yeah...um ...right?", Caleb asks.

"Y-Yes! Um, I just wanted to speak with you moment.", She says with a light blush in her cheeks.

Caleb is taken aback a moment before noticing the cheeky look of his team members instantly become embarassed.

"Yeah, let's use the room next door.", Caleb says. She happily agrees going to the next room.

"Oooh I guess she wants to thank her hero properly huh?", Raj cheekily spoke.

"Ya got five minutes! Make'em count man!"

"Yeah, I'm sure that's a long time for you Clay.", Rachel jokes, "You got as long as you stamina holds Caleb."

"Shut up! Damn.", Caleb replied as he leaves the room. He notices a few female liminal workers watching him curiously but pretends not to notice.

He enters the room where Rikka stood waiting for her him her tails swaying about.

"Alright, what did you want talk about?", Caleb inquire before noticing her shifting nervously avoiding eye contact with flushed cheeks, "uhh you o-"

"I made this for you!", She cuts him off bowing as she presents him a small black bento-style box, "I-I wanted to thank you for saving my life much earlier but MON kept under their protection until that man was fully detained. P-Please accept it."

Caleb was taken aback a moment before inspecting the box a little.

"Thank you. That's really sweet of you.", Caleb replies accepting the box, "I heard of these but I never had one before. Hehe it's like my own little slice Japan. I'll save it for lunch."

Ms. Yukimura's blush deepens, "I-I used only the freshest ingredients I could find. I wanted you to show how thankful I am."

"Oh, well, thank you. You really didn't need to do anything at all."

"I wanted to. I owe you my life after all.", She says with a small blush.

"You don't OWE me anything. There shouldn't be obligation attached to kindness. I hate it when people assume that.", Caleb spoke bitterly.

"Ah! I'm sorry I didn't mean to offend you!", The Nekomata quickly apologizes.

Caleb realizes how he sounded and corrects himself, "No no, that wasn't directed at you in particular! It's just...the way some people are nowadays. Feels like everyone expects good things without working for it while some do bad things and expect good to come out. If that makes sense."

"It...kind of does. There are many like that...even in this country.", Ms. Yukimura sighed, dropping her shoulders.

Caleb senses the change in her tone and decides to steer the conversation away from any touchy subjects.

"Ahem, anyway, the fact that you're safe is fine enough. You have every right to be here. To work, punch out, goof around a little, or deal with other people's bullshit just like the rest of us. We're coworkers after all. ", Caleb affirms.

Rikka stares at him a moment, cheeks flushing and feeling a warmth in her core before smiling back, "R-Right."

*Knock Knock knock*, came a knock at the door getting their attention.

"Yo, Cal? We gotta go bud!", came the voice of Rodney.

"Cal! Remember the golden rule! 4 based, protection, then get tested!", His coworker jokingly added.

"Shut the fuck up, Clay! Be out in a minute Rodney!", Caleb shouted at the door prompting a fit of laughter from his coworker. He then looks to the Nekomata, "And this is what I have to deal with every time I clock in. Anyway, thanks again."

Caleb turns to leave but to the Nekomata stops him.

"Wait! Um...I...If it's ok...I'd like to...talk with you again sometimes.", She flushes, unsure if she was being too intrusive. She didnt want to bother him and eventually become a nuisance.

"Sure. That's fine, Ms. Yukimura.", Caleb replies much to her surprise.

"R-Rikka..."

"Hm? Whatcha say?", Caleb looks back to her.

"Call me, 'Rikka', please?", She lowly spoke, a bit embarrassed.

Caleb grins at her as he opens the door, "Alright, thanks, Rikka. My name's Caleb."

Rikka face flushes and a small grin forms on her face.

"There he is! A quickie in the break room and he's ready to make us some money!", Clay stated as he walks out, making Rikka blush even harder.

"Shut the fuck up! I will beat yo ass!", Caleb retorts prompting a fit of laughter from Rodney and the others as Rikka maneuvers around them.

"S-See you later...Caleb...", Rikka shyly spoke, catching the groups attention.

"Yeah, you too.", He nods to her.

"Ohh, first name basis already? Yall movin' fast!", Rodney teases

"Goddamn, am I the only one in this whole building who DOESN'T believe the law of attraction?", Caleb questioned.

"Depends on what you think you're attracting. If it's more of him, we're fucked.", Rachel remarks, gesturing to Clay who immediately took offense.

Rikka walks passed the arguing group of humans, looking at Caleb curiously. She smiles to herself happy to have one true acquaintance here before hastily going back to her area of the building.

.

Caleb and Rodney were heading into the parking lot with their necessary work-related stuff. Caleb couldn't help feeling kinda proud of himself right now. He felt like he was gaining just a small iota of control. And it felt good.

"Hey, Rodney? Let's take my car.", Caleb insisted.

Rodney gives him a curious look, "Well, this is a surprise. I don't think I ever seen the inside of your car before. Shotgun!"

"Rear view.", came voice of Drei as she appears behind them.

"AH! Oh! Haha , you scared me uhh...Caleb's littlest bodyguard? Sorry I still forget y'all names.", Rodney admittedly in embarrassment.

"Really because I find it easy to remember yours. I start thinking of the word 'disappointment' in human form.", Drei commented.

"Ouch.", Rodney utters

"Don't let it get to you, it's her way of saying 'Hi'.", Caleb assured unlocking his car doors.

"How does she say 'Bye' th-", Rodney says noticing she had disappeared, "Wait, where'd she go?"

"Annnnd there's your answer.", Caleb says putting his stuff in the backseat as Rodney did the same before getting in the driver seat starting the engine.

Rodney gets in the car immediately noticing how clean, and well-maintained it was.

"Hey, pass me that AUX cord?", Caleb requests before Rodney looks down at pocket on the door pulling out a long green audio cord. Caleb plugs it in along with his phone already set to his playlist.

...city if Madison...

People could be seen all around going about their business either heading to work, going inside shops, or enjoying some breakfast at nearby restaurants.

"I said I wanted vanilla ICED coffee! Do you see any ice in here?"

A woman sitting outside the patio of a Starbucks complained to a liminal waitress with large brown mouse ears, brown fur on her arms, and slender rodent tail sticking from her uniform.

"I-I'm sorry ma'am! It was my mistake!", said the scared mouse girl apologizes.

"The MISTAKE was hiring a dirty, oversized RAT like you to serve food!", the woman reviled the poor before shoving cup to her chest splashing the beverage on he uniform, "Throw that away and get me what I ordered send a HUMAN out this time!"

"Y-Yes...ma'am.", utters the mouse girl as she quickly slinks back inside whimpering a bit.

The woman mutters a derogatory term. The other patrons, human and liminals, notice the scene but choose to stay out not wanting confrontation. Cars could be seen driving before some come to a halt at the traffic light. Suddenly, the sound of a baseline trap beats could be heard from approaching in the distance. It was Caleb riding in his grey Honda and front windows down. As it gets closer lyrics can be heard...

*if you want to fully immerse yourself in this scene, listen to 'Black Beatle' while reading*

The music blasted from the car cruising down the street catching the attention of some passersby and restaurant goers. Although they were likely more surprised seeing Drei just...chilling on the roof of the car lying on her side in Queen pose and bopping her head to the beat.

The grey Honda comes to hault at the traffic.

"I'm a fuckin black Beatle, cream seats in the Regal! Rockin John Lennon lenses like to see 'em spread eagle...", Caleb bops as Rodney sat next to him trying his best to copy Caleb's beat happy to see him in great mood today.

A police cruiser pulls next to them. An officer rolls down his window. Caleb turns down the volume and looks straight ahead as Rodney looks confused then realizes what was up. Drei whistles getting the officer's attention while presenting her MON badge. The officer looks to his partner nod before the light turns green.

Drei knocks on the hood, "Louder."

Caleb turns the volume back up and he along with Rodney starts boppin' again and the police just watch them leave.

...

They continued onward before finally arriving at the Boeing Defense and Aerospace center, a large complex with water fountain in the center of the entrance which was guarded by security. They park closest to the building, grab everything they need, and proceed inside while Drei monitors the surroundings for anything suspicious. They show their security clearance badges they were provided before a couple guards escorte them inside with Drei stealthily following.

"Hi! I'm Rodney Hillcrest and this is Caleb Bizzell we're from...and we have an appointment with the director of Structural Loads and Dynamic Analysis.", Rodney explained to the lady at the front desk.

"Alright...Ah yes! She'll be with you in a moment she's finishing up with a previous appointment. You can wait over there.", the receptionist advised pointing to the waiting area.

Caleb and Rodney thanked her before taking their stuff and sitting down in the waiting area. Rodney notices Caleb repeatedly thumping his knee.

"You alright man?", Rodney inquires in concern.

"Yeah man. I'm good. Better than good I am...real good.", Caleb says trying to hide the anxiety in his voice.

"Hey! Don't be nervous bro, you'll do fine. Just treat it like a normal presentation-"

"That could cost our company a partnership worth THOUSANDS of dollars.", Caleb finished in a plain tone.

"Yeah, but DON'T focus on that part. Where'd that energy you had before go? Listen, that proposal you showed me even I'M convinced to partner with us. You got a good head on your shoulders and they'd be crazy not to hear your ideas! Don't be nervous. Are sharks nervous when they take town a seal?! Hell no! They keep swimming and biting! And we're gonna keep swimming until we catch a big blubbery juicy seal! Are you a shark bruh?!", Rodney stated as Caleb gave a confused look.

"...Yeah?", Caleb spoke lowly with a small grin.

"I can't hear you! Are you a SHARK?!"

"Yeah!"

"ARE we gonna get that seal?!"

"YEAH!"

"Then let's bite the shit out of that seal! Here we come! Baadum...Baadum...", Rodney started giving an urging smile.

"Baadum baadum...", Caleb continues with a wide grin.

Both men then start singing the Jaws theme getting themselves pumped and attracting weird look from the receptionist and a couple strangers. Drei observes from nearby with a dry expression.

"Huh, so this is what a closeted bromance looks like.", Drei thought.

They are then approached by a liminal woman, a grey haired inari, wearing business casual attire. A white button down, thigh length black skirt with black heels and long fluffy grey fox tail and ears, . She raise an eyebrow at the two human men and their strange ritual.

"E-Excuse me!", She spoke up getting their attention, "Madame Director will see you now."

Rodney and Caleb straighten themselves up to look more professional before standing up.

"Thank you ma'am. Ready Mr. Bizzell?"

"Yes.", Caleb replies before looking to the Inari woman, "Kindly lead the way miss."

"O-Of course. R-right this way hehe.", the Inari utters turning away hiding her rosy cheeks having gotten a whiff of Caleb's scent before leading them further in the build coming to an elevator that took them up. Drei stealthily follows them.

The elevator ride was short without much talking. Only thing of note was Caleb pretending not to notice how the Inari kept staring at him with deep blush. They are let off on the second floor where the Inari woman leads them to a set of door. She knocks.

"Director Burns? They have arrived!"

"Come in!", called a feminine voice from the other side.

The Inari opens the doors to a large office, brown polished wood table, large bookshelf to the left, 2 large windows with blinders giving a good view of the space shuttle outside. A large mohogany wood desk with a desktop Windows computer, various office supplies, even a few family photos. Standing with her back turned staring out the window was a woman with ginger hair. She turns to them and approaches with a welcoming smile.

"Welcome! You arrived earlier than expected. I'm Director Sasha Burns.", 'Burns' says before looking to the Inari, "That'll be all."

The Inari slightly bows respectfully before stealing one more look at Caleb who grins shyly at her. She blushes and turns away becoming flustered and hiding her small grin.

"You must be Mr. Hillcrest. Nice to meet you.", Burns says offering her hand to Rodney

"Pleasure to finally meet YOU ma'am. I heard so much about your work.", he says shaking her hand.

"Uh-huh.", She said with a smile before turning to Caleb offering him her hand, "And YOU must be Mr. Caleb Bizzell."

Caleb takes her hand firmly to her surprise, "Ahem, it's good to finally meet you."

"Oh, I can certainly say the same.", Burns says with a smile as her eye faintly glow with white light. She slowing releases his hand staring at him with slight predatory gaze before switching gears, "Now then, shall we begin?"
