Ch 36: Water Guns

After a few days passed and the awkwardness of them all trying to exist together wore off, things got easier for all of them. Loki was still trouble though much more subdued then she was at the festival. It seemed Dove had a good handle on her socially without much effort. It was strange to Jin, especially after what she'd seen, that Loki was so eager to give Dove anything in the world she wanted. Jin would've thought it would be the other way around but she supposed dynamics in romance did not always reflect those under the sheets.

She was pulled from her thoughts as Loki threw a ball at her in the pool, catching her shoulder a bit hard. Loki and Indi chuckled. There was a net over the middle of the shallow end of the pool, set up for a simple game with the ball. She and sterling were playing on one side with Loki and Indi on the other.

Spadix was in a chair with her book under a table umbrella. Dove came out with something to drink for the two of them as she sat in a chair on the other side of the umbrella. She had a black string bikini on and sunglasses. Loki had been in a sports bra and short trunks with her hair down. It was as long as Sterling's but a bit more wavy. Dove handed over the lemonade, receiving a thank you in reply.

It was quiet for a bit before Spadix finally spoke, "So… um… what was all that about, that stuff we saw?"

Dove sighed, arms behind her head as she stared at the others engaged in the sport, "Geez, you sound like everyone else. Not that it's any of your business really but, I just have things I like. Is that so hard to understand? Just because my interests are… rougher than most people's desires doesn't make them any less valid."

Spadix waited a bit before asking, fidgeting with her talons, "But… it doesn't hurt or scare you?"

Dove glanced over at the owl with only her eyes, lowering her sunglasses a bit to display her two different irises, "Honestly, that's the point."

When Spadix went quiet, Dove took off her sunglasses and set them down on the table the umbrella was over. She turned her head slightly to observe Spadix as she continued, "Look, I just was never satisfied with regular "love making" and stuff like that. It felt unfulfilling and empty and I never got off either even if the person was really good at it. And don't get me wrong, I don't want anyone to do that to me outside of the bedroom. But being able to be at mercy of someone I trust that I know will stop if it's too much but also not be afraid to take that dive with me, that was the most fulfilling sex I had ever had. Someone who also cares at the same time but won't try any of that on me outside of sex even if we are fighting, that's just something that works for me."

Spadix nodded, watching Dove's eyes fix on Loki. She had to admit she didn't understand the appeal but it was clear that the crazy woman was also crazy about Dove but in a much different way then how she was wild and insane in her actions with others. Loki was clearly a handful for Dove but that really didn't seem to be too much of a bother to Dove. The woman could easily sway Loki to better behave or calm down, even if she had to raise her voice or fuss to do so. And it never seemed to create any rift between them either.

Dove laughed lightly at Spadix's silence, "Don't worry. The joy about people is that no one has to like the same things. It's ok that it isn't something you can relate to just like I can't relate to people who find gentle arousing. I just find the intensity and risk of it all is what does it for me. And I didn't indulge either until I found someone like Loki who could also separate the too, even if that might be hard to believe. But outside of things like sex that woman would never lay a hand on me or try to hurt me. I know she's aggressive by nature and gets out of hand but with me she's just an enjoyment in my life I don't want to lose. We've been together for about 3 years now and she knows me and my body and I know hers. She also needed someone who could handle her. So it worked out."

Spadix nodded, "Oh… I see…"

She felt weird, like once again her lack of knowledge of the world's depths around her made her seem inferior. Dove could sense her unease, see her fidgeting uncomfortably with her thoughts her enemy. Maybe Spadix didn't realize it but Dove knew plenty of people like her who were naive to the world after dark and struggled with that feeling of being less than for it at their ages.

To her, there was nothing wrong with people growing at whatever pass was right for them even if she would never outwardly say it to people. Hell when Dove was younger she had been similar and the amount of shame she put on herself had only made it harder to accept herself in intimacy. She wanted to make it stop. So, as the two watched the others in the pool, Dove grew a devious grin. She turned towards Spadix and leaned close on the arm of her chair, "Hey… you want to do something fun?"

Spadix eyed her suspiciously as she took another sip. She was curious though even if she wasn't sure yet if she could trust Dove. There was an enticing mischief in her eyes and grin and Spadix couldn't resist, "What's that?"

Dove chuckled, "Trust me, you'll like this. Watch this."

The woman whistled to get the others' attention and cupped her hands around her mouth, leaning forward some, "Hey! Why don't we have a little contest?"

that grabbed Loki and Jin's attention quickly, ever competitive by nature. All four swam over to the pool edge near the two. Dove leaned forward onto her knees and grinned wider, "Why don't we have a little contest? How bout you four get out and we'll see who's got the best physique? A good old fashioned contest of figure and muscle. Sound fun?"

Spadix felt her cheeks warm slightly, and more so when all four seemed eager to show off more than the other. Indi was even excited, which surprised Spadix a bit but the girl did like to have fun after all and she had gained more muscle and tone from her efforts at school towards her combat training.

Spadix giggled a bit at the four clammering out of the pool in various ways to get in line before their judges. She turned to Dove, "It won't be weird that two of them are your relatives?"

Dove just waved her off, "Please, we aren't fucking them we are just judging muscle and showmanship. I'm not blind Jin is very fit, that doesn't mean I want anything gross about her. It's only weird if you make it weird. We are just having fun."

Dove poked Spadix in the nose, picking at her, "Besides, you only think like that because those muscles on that dragon turn you on."

Spadix was flush faced instantly, moving dove's hand and frowning, "S-shut up!"

Dove just laughed and leaned back into her chair as the four came over, "So, to do this right, Sterling you have to lose the tank. Indi, we need to see the swimsuit under that shirt. You'll all then line up and give us the best flex and pose you can. Whoever we agree is built best for their body type will be the winner. And don't dry off, the water will help."

She winked at them, "The winner can have any one prize they desire, no matter the request. nothing is off limits no matter how innocent or explicit."

Spadix frowned and shrunk into her chair. Dove wasn't being flirty, she could tell. She was just very clearly laying down the rules. But her confidence and composure made Spadix embarrassed. Dove pulled her scroll out and turned on some generic high energy music, something you might hear at a party or club but at the same time nothing dirty.

The four agreed. Indi removed her shirt to be only in her bikini. Sterling pulled off the tank top. Spadix giggled a bit, "Dove, we clearly can't put them all in the same boat. Two of them are lean and the other two are all bulk."

Dove smiled, "Well then, a light weight and heavy weight death match. Indi versus Sterling, Jin versus Loki. And to make it fair, whichever duo isn't competing will play a third judge to break any ties, but they will have to pick the same person. Sound better Spadix?"

She nodded, catching the fiery spirit in Jin's eyes. They judged Indi and Sterling first. The two flexed and posed. Jin and Loki stood behind the true judges and watched. Sterling had flexed his arms taunt downward, legs tight and back strong. He wasn't built, but he was toned and lean and you could still see outlines of the thin but strong muscles under the skin in places.

Indi was the same though had a bit more going for her arms and rear. She also flexed and posed, Spadix taking in how she didn't look like she was being too silly for once during something so frivolous. Indi had posed herself just right to show off the arms and rear areas and in now time it was a unanimous vote for Indi all around, the judging giggling and laughing. Indi took a victory shout and rubbed it in at Sterling for a moment before he simply jokingly bowed at her in defeat.

The duos swapped out and now this was going to be rough. Loki and Jin were both basically built like tanks, sturdy and sculpted in all the right places without being too masculine, feminine features still somehow holding to being softer and pleasant. The two flexed and immediately Spadix was blushing, eyes hungrily scanning every exposed inch of the dragon.

Both women had strong abs, arms, legs, backs. It was hard to choose really. Loki flexed her arms like the generic pose and then turned some, back flexed and the water on her skin dripped along lines of taut muscle definition. Even Spadix had to admit, for a crazy woman, she had an almost immaculate Amazonian warrior beauty to every contour of muscle and physique.

Jin was posed with her arms tight, wrists clasped together behind her back to really show off everything but she could tell she was losing. Loki was a tad more defined then she was herself and this pose while flattering wasn't going to cut it. Loki gave her a dark smile and winked. That did it. Jin locked eyes with the owl, seeing her still staring at Loki, and pulled her arms up, hands behind her head as she flexed chiseled abs and perfect arms, curling just slightly forward and pressing her hips forward a bit. Spadix's eyes quickly drifted back, her breath hitched instantly.

With just the right curves and bends of how Jin posed, she looked reminiscent of the way her body bent and tensed during sex with her girlfriend. Subtle enough to not be obvious to the others but clear enough to hook her girlfriend in. Spadix was instantly hot and bothered, biting her own lip a bit. Sterling and Indi were also drawn to the beast, amber eyes smoldering and flooded with confidence.

In the end, Jin won two to one. Loki was annoyed but Dove made her be a good sport about it and the woman calmed down. Looking at the two winners, Dove clapped her hands together, "So, what reward would you both like to collect on?"

Indi went first. She thought only for a moment before excitement lit up her smile, "Let's get Ruby to take us all out to grab ice cream! It's fucking hot today!"

The others seemed all on board, cheering. Dove calmed them and turned her attention to her cousin, "Well what about you?"

But Jin wasn't listening to her or even looking at her. Those strong eyes were locked with Spadix, almost daring the girl to try to look away again. Spadix didn't, couldn't. She was enthralled. Her mind was racing with the memories of how those muscles felt against her own skin. She shifted oh so slightly in her seat, fighting the urge to whine for Jin's attention, knowing the dragon would instantly cave if she did.

Dove snapped her fingers, "Earth to the big lizard. It's not basking time. What would you like as your reward?"

Jin took a deep slow breath, muscle in her chest puffing out a bit as she did before releasing the air, "I already have what I want."

The others just rolled their eyes or faked being grossed out but Spadix squirmed beneath the surface. Jin stepped closer and set both hands on either arm rest, leaning her face in, hot breath brushing across Spadix's lips and jaw as Jin lingered for a moment that felt like ages. She stared into the owl and never relented, hearing a shuddered breath before kissing Spadix.

After a while, Jin pulled back away, Spadix audibly letting out a tiny whine only Jin could hear as a line of saliva broke between them. Spadix was breathing heavily and her face was bright red. She held out a hand. She was going to make Spadix look at only her until she could drag her away later.
