#1 of Refractions

Sometimes when all seems lost, you just have to look to family to find your way.

Ah, the joys of writing shorts again! This short story is the start of Refractions, a collection of interlinked stories bound in the Entropy universe. With Refractions I plan on expanding and expounding upon this universe in its past, present, and future. The goal is to shed a little insight while exploring new ideas. If those ideas accumulate into something larger and a book comes of it... so be it. :3

Enjoy the story, folks.


Lost and Found

"Well this place is fancy." Iolvin Rihzyet stretched and rolled his shoulder as he held open a door for his mates and family. The otter playfully bopped his husband and wife with his tail as they passed, eliciting quick yips from both. "At least they have a pool. I'm not sure what else I'd do at a spa club."

"Yoyo, not everything you do has to be super manly all the time." Adrian stopped in his husband's path, squeaking when his plan backfired as he was lifted up and carried. "Eep! Do I have bring up that you do have a vagina?"

"Boy pussy or not, I can agree with him." Yoyo's twin sister Ilaria shuffled up to the front desk with her two wives. "You girls can enjoy this pampering all you like. I think I'll join my little bro and get some sun."

"Nope! You're coming with us, missy." Rhyme tugged on her wife's fake arm, just trying to be the most annoying tanuki in history. "You're carrying our child. A little pampering would do you wonders."

"Truth, Ottah." Robyn snagged the other arm from below, resorting to tickling with her fluffy squirrel tail for lack of reach. "There ain't no way I'm runnin' this gauntlet without ya'. Never been to one of these joints, yeah?"

"I'm not sure I'm up for it, though. The perfumes... goops... fur treatments that probably kill my waterproofing..."

"Well I've got four tickets in any case." Dee held up his webbed paw to showcase the vouchers for full treatments, though his expression of happiness didn't seem genuine. "It isn't hurting anyone if you decide to sit out. Might be a nice bonding experience though."

"It's a shame your brother couldn't come." Zoë rang the bell at the desk, enjoying the vintage device's unique trill. "What did Ellie say he was doing?"

"He didn't. I think he's just..." Dee stopped himself as he thought about the true reasons, not wanting to accept them as such. "His kids need to adapt to Earth life. He's got babysitters and pre-preschool or whatever to worry about, and that's on top of our new business."

Ari queried, "Oh, you've got that set up already?"

"Oh... No, not yet. We're setting up the foundation for it still. Then there's paperwork and certifications..."

Yoyo set down his husband, pecking a kiss on his forehead in the process. "My Adri here has been busy-busy."

"We've only been back two weeks and you're already stressed out. Jesus, honey." Zoë sighed as she idly checked over the items available for order in the establishment. "Oh... I'm not sure how much of this is meant for me. I think my skin might melt off by the end of the day."

"Well there weren't that many healthy humans until we brought back those refugees. Most of this is meant for furs." Dee looked over the list himself and pointed to a few items. "Maybe skip out on the fur conditioning and the, uh... sensitive area trimming... though it might still feel nice all the same. Or maybe they'll just focus on your gorgeous hair?"

The human checked around to make sure they were in the clear, then lifted her skirt and pulled down the front of her panties for a quick flash. "I'll have you know I started growing hair down here finally. I'd rather someone else deal with that, too."

"Ha! Alright!" Yoyo corrected his wife's actions as an employee finally came to help. "Well I'm not afraid to dive into bush, but if I'm honest I've always liked your smooth skin. Do what makes you happiest, kiddo."

"Seriously, Charlie...? Sorry, folks. The guy working the desk--" An eye-clenching crash rattled as an glass aromatic diffuser smashed into the ground, the female panther that previously held it staring with her mouth agape. "Io-Iolvin... Muerte viva..."

" Sandy!" Yoyo spun around at the deeply familiar voice, only to fly backwards as Cassandra tackled him to the floor with a pounce. "Gah! I'm happy to see you t--"

Cassie locked lips with the otter momentarily, but reeled herself back once she realized the bounds she had crossed. "Uh... S-Sorry..." She settled for purring atop her old friend and resting her head on his chest for a tight hug. "I thought you were dead! Don't scare me like that ever again, you asshole!"

"Just as spunky as ever." Yoyo groaned as he lifted Cassie enough to sit upright. "You're looking good, fuzzy kitty. So--"

"Don't change the subject. Look at you... God, your poor eye! What the hell happened to you? You just--"

"Miss Ganzfeld!" A kangaroo in a nice suit made a heavy thump with his foot as he crossed his arms. "Regain your composure in front of our guests! You of all people..."

"Yes, sir! I'll get right back to work, sir!" Cassie shot up to her hindpaws and scrambled to return behind the front desk. "S-So... Ah! I see you have vouchers! While you're here, would you perhaps like to enhance the experience with--"

"He's gone, Sandy."

The panther took a deep breath as her heart slowed from her scare. "Thanks. I... I really need this job. I can't afford to go searching again."

Yoyo sighed as he walked up to the desk. "You've been having work problems? No art projects after college?"

"I've had four jobs since the start of the year alone. This masseuse gig is really nice, though. I'm apparently good at it." Cassie drooped her head and took one of the tickets to check their status. "Damn, full package. At least one of us has money to blow. What, did you run off to Glasgow and seduce some rich girl?"

"Sandy... I'm sorry. I didn't have a choice." Yoyo dropped his forehead onto the desk counter and banged it a few times. "You wouldn't believe the actual story. We saved the universe and shit."

"Sure, don't tell me the truth. Idiota." Cassie counted the tickets and frowned at the difference from the head count. "Wait... Maybe you're not doing as well as I thought. Only four tickets for you guys?"

"My sis and I were just gonna hit up the pool."

"Oh... Well as a guest of a client, that should be okay. Just sign in here." The panther smiled for the others while she waited, but her expression went blank as she noticed the bracer on Yoyo's forearm. "Yoyo... you found a m-mate?"

"Oh, this? Yeah, it's from this lucky guy here." Dee smiled as Yoyo pulled him close for a kiss. He then tugged Zoë over and gave her the same kind gesture as he held up his other arm. "And she gave me the other. And you called me dumb for being bisexual."

"That's... nice. Good for you." Cassie seemed a bit distraught at the news, but she finished processing the vouchers all the same. "So you bought your mates a relaxing spa day? That's nice of you. Maybe... Would you like to join them? I could throw another in on the house with my own pass... I mean, not that I--"

"With you as the masseuse? That... might get awkward." Yoyo gave his sister the pen so she could sign in as well. "I think I'll pass. Thanks, though. Oh, but what about Lulu here? She's got a kid on the way..."

"Ari? Really? Damn, you two work quick. Do I know the lucky guy?"

There were a couple of chuckles as Ari took that question herself. "Yes and no. These two lovely ladies are my mates. The baby was... donated."

"How wonderful! Congratulations, Ari!" Cassie nodded for Rhyme after a brief inspection, but upon looking closer at Robyn she ended up staring into her robotic cameras in place of eyes. "Robyn... Shit, what happened to you, girl?"

"Like the bloke said, we had us a bit of a war to win. Luck just didn't pan my way is all." Robby didn't look concerned in the least, instead latching onto her wives. "No worries. All's well that ends well, yeah?"

"I suppose so. Damn..." The panther perked up, trying to keep a cheerful demeanor for the sake of her job. "Well you're all set. Five deluxe treatments, starting with a detox steaming. I'll be next up with deep tissue massages... and maybe some extra attention for the soon-to-be mother."

"Thanks, Sandy. Lulu's just as stubborn as me with these things, but I'm sure she really needs this. We've been cooped up in a spaceship for years." Yoyo hissed and groaned as he made that point known with a few arm stretches. "Nothing a little swimming regimen won't work out."

"Don't you guys have a pool at your house?"

"Nah. We're looking for a new place now that we're starting families." Yoyo found the locker rooms and nodded to the others. "Actually, I might sign up for this place to swim. It'd be a big bonus if we get to see more of each other again."

"Yeah, I'd like that." Something seemed to be stuck on the tip of Cassie's rough tongue, the panther finally blurting it out as the group followed Iolvin. "Yoyo! Wait... Could I have a second?"

"Uh... Sure, what's up?"

Cassie caught up to the otter, taking deep breaths as she stared at his ceremonial bracers. "I... really have to talk with you about something later--something important you should know. Maybe you could come to my place later? I'm still at our old apartment... and a few of our favorite bars are still around..."

"Sure. Sounds like fun."

"Um, maybe... Yeah, you should bring your mates. They should hear what I have to say too." The panther found the courage to look her friend in the eyes. "That, and... I'd like to hear what happened. There's got to be a great story of how you guys got hitched."

"That might get a bit complicated. We'll definitely need Adri around for the science mumbo jumbo." Yoyo gave his old friend a quick hug. "It's nice seeing you again, Sandy. Seriously... It reminds me what we did out there had a purpose."

Cassie affectionately licked Yoyo on the side of his muzzle. "I missed you too, big guy. Now go have fun before you get me fired."

"Sure thing, fuzzy kitty."



Fifteen Years Earlier

The Rihzyet Home



"Damnit, Sandy!"

"Get good, scrub."

Iolvin scoffed at his friend as he spammed the respawn button on his controller. "How the hell are you so good at this already? This came out Tuesday!"

"Because I played the other four Bark of Valor games and I kicked your tail in those too." Cassandra paused the game and quit to the main menu with a sigh. "You always like the co-op modes more anyway. Looks like this one has challenge maps or something..."

"Yeah, but it's getting late. Won't your dad be mad at you?"

"He will, but he can get over it. Mierda diabólica... I've already decided I'm staying the night." Cassie selected the first of many challenges and set it up for two players. "It's Friday and you'll never beat these without me. We're finishing this mode by morning. Cool, Yoyo?"

"If you're sure... Yeah, cool." Yoyo picked up his controller and made a few weapons selections before the game started. "You don't have any of your stuff, though. Want me to ask Lulu for some pajamas or whatever?"

"Nah, I'm fine. We're playing games all night anyway." The panther chose her trusty long range loadout and started killing AI-driven enemies, making sure to keep them away from Yoyo's character. "So what's your sister's deal, anyway? I never see her doing anything with the other girls. She have some boyfriend I don't know about?"

"Nope. She just keeps to herself. She plays a lot of games, too. Probably makes her come off as a nerd or something... Crap, out of ammo."

"Says the guy that's done nothing but play one game all week." Cassie killed a soldier near Yoyo's and started moving to a new position. "Good assault rifle on that one. Hm... At least you manage to do this and get girls. Not that you hold onto them long, but still."

"Hey, Marlena and I are doing just fine right now. Don't jinx it."

"You're still dating that whore? Ah, grenade near you."

"Don't call her that. She's nice to me." Yoyo moved out of the explosion radius, then ducked behind an exploded car to reload. "You just need to hang out with her more."

"Well I don't want to after the rumors I've heard. Just wait until she goes into heat. She'll open her legs for you, then any guy around you, and dump you like a rock." Cassie set her controller down as the mission completed, taking the score tallying time to slap Yoyo on the back. "Dump her before she dumps you. You deserve better."

"Well... I've heard rumors too, but that's just from jealous girls and stuff." Yoyo huffed and pulled off his shirt, the stress of the game making him sweaty. "I appreciate you looking out for me, but I gotta take what I can get."

"Damn, it is warm in here..." Cassie silently pulled off her own shirt, leaving her chest clad in only a blue bra. "And what exactly do you get? You really just waiting to see if the rumors are true? Don't tell me you're that much of a typical guy."

"We've just kissed, that's all--" Yoyo turned around to defend his stance, but averted his eyes at the sight of Cassie's skimpy appearance. "S-Sandy! What are you doing!?"

"What? You can cool off and I can't? It's getting stuffy in here."

"That's n-not what I meant!" Yoyo chivalrously found his friend's shirt and blindly held it up for her. "Put this back on before my parents--"

Yoyo went dead silent when a blue bra cup landed over his eyes. "Like I care. I'm doing you a favor, Yoyo." Cassie took her friend's outstretched paw and guided it to one of her perky breasts. "I bet Marlena never let you do this. Get it out your system, then drop her like a rock. There's a better girl out there for you if you'd just look."

"Sandy, I don't..." Yoyo cautiously turned around, gaining a bit more confidence when he saw how open and frank Cassie was being. "W-Wow... You look... really pretty..."

"Only 'pretty'? Is this your first set of boobs, Yoyo?" Cassie pulled the other webbed paw up and let the otter explore. "They don't bite."

"Gods, they're so soft." Yoyo squeezed lightly, then a bit harder once and returning to soft after a misunderstood hiss. "I'm not... hurting you, am I?"

"No, that actually feel pretty good. That bra was uncomfortable as hell compared to this." Cassie hissed and started purring as fingers rolled over her nipples, daring to pinch and prod at them. She closed her eyes for a moment and took in the sensations, then opened them to spot a large tent in Yoyo's pants. "That your tail in your pocket, or you just really happy to see these?"

"I-I'm so--!" Yoyo fumbled with his pants and spun around quickly. "I can't control that! Sorry!"

"It's fine, Yoyo. At least I know someone thinks I can be sexy when I want to be." Cassie reached for her shirt and slid back into it... then she used her sudden privacy to remove her shorts and panties and only replace the shorts. "Don't worry about it, Yoyo. Just paw it out later and think about things with a clear head."

"But... I'm not sure if we--" Again Yoyo shut his muzzle when a matching blue bikini bottom flopped over his snout. "_ S-S-Sandy _!?"

"It's cool, idiota." Cassie sat down beside her close friend, controller at the ready. "Those are for you. I just happen to be in heat myself, so... if you need an excuse to dump Marlena, just keep those on you and you'll smell like another girl's been all over you."

Yoyo took the panties from his face, the smell alone intoxicating but the large damp spot driving all the blood in his body from his face to his groin. "Y-Yeah... sure. Thanks, Sandy."

"Don't worry about it. I hate that bra, remember? Besides, those might give you bragging rights with the guys." Before starting the next mission, Cassie placed her paw over her friend's hard bulge for a quick honk. "Unless you have other plans for them. Won't hurt my feelings if you get them a little dirty. Looks like you could use the pawing material."

"Are you sure we're... really cool? This won't change things?"

"Seriously? Yoyo, we'll always be awesome together." Cassie started the mission before Yoyo was ready, a grin on her face. "Except I'll always kick more ass in shooters."

"Sh-Shut up and cover me!"



Present Day

Cassandra's Apartment



"Sonething's going on here..." Iolvin shook his head at the broken doorbell that hasn't been fixed since he lived in the apartment. He rapped his knuckles on the metal door and rolled his shoulder at a lingering pain in his neck. "Adri never passes up a night out. I wonder if they talked about something..."

"Coming!" About a million locks unlatched very audibly before the door cautiously cracked open to reveal a slitted feline eye. "Yoyo? Shit, I thought you'd drop by a bit later. Hold on." The door shut and two security bars flipped open, allowing the door to open wide. "Thanks for coming, Yoyo. Where's... your mates?"

"Adri said he wasn't up for partying and decided to stay back with Zoë." Yoyo eased passed Cassandra and smiled at the nostalgia rushing over him. "Wow. This place hasn't changed much."

"Zoë... That's your wife's name? She doesn't talk much." Cassie pointed to Yoyo's old room, the door shut and the light off. "Oh, could you keep your voice down?"

"You got a new roomie? And here I thought I was the only one you could stand long enough to live with them." Yoyo found the same sofa he'd defiled time and time again and sat down with a huge smile at the memories. "I don't see paint tubes all over the place. Did you really give up on painting? No more art?"

"Not enough money. Gotta eat before I think of hobbies." Cassie went to the kitchen and opened the fridge. "Want a beer? I've only got light stuff, but it's better than nothing."

"Light beer? You? Who are you, and where did you take my Sandy?"

"Ha ha. Super funny." The panther sat beside her friend and gave him his beer, then practically chugged half of hers. "No money, remember? I can't afford the good stuff."

"Sandy... just how bad are things?" A dead silence flushed through the room as Cassie focused on her beer, driving Yoyo to scan for changes. "Woah... Is that your old GameStation 360? And Bark of Valor: Modern Combat 2? Damn, girl. Old school cool."

"You know I can't get rid of that game. There's too many great memories tied to it." Cassie blushed as she recalled a specific memory, a paw moving to her chest. "Yoyo... we need to talk."

"Yeah, I'd like that. A few drinks and some stories--"

"No, Yoyo... I mean about something serious. Shit, how do I say it?" Cassie set down her drink and took both of Yoyo's paws into hers. "You remember... the last time we were at Lumen? Could you... tell me what you remember?"

"Lumen? That was years back, but... well..."



Four Years Ago

Lumen Night Club



"I don't think you have enough tissues, Lulu." Iolvin tossed a used tissue into a pile on their table and helped Elliot to his hindpaws. "Come on, little guy. Let's get us cleaned up right. Lulu, you got Ashe covered?"

"Yeah, I've got her. Just worry about that bumbling idiot and I'll meet you back here."

"Cool. Careful with your leg, sis." Yoyo nodded and led Ellie toward the bathrooms, the smaller otter stumbling constantly under the influence of whatever party drug he'd previously ingested. "Bold move, fucking your girlfriend in the middle of the club. You alright, buddy? The bathroom is right here, so let's--"

"Psh... Y-You can't go in th-there. You're a guy." Ellie slipped into the women's bathroom, gleefully finding an open sink. "No peeping, you... you peeper!"

"Seriously? What the hell is he on?" A young vixen stared Yoyo down as he held the door open for her, prompting the otter to head back for the dance floor. "Well at least he isn't going anywhere."

"Who's not going where, now?" Cassandra stalked behind her friend and nudged him onto the dance floor, swaying his hips to match hers with her paws. "You weren't looking for little old me, were you?"

"Sandy? Hey, nice to see you and all but now's not--"

"Shush. Just dance, big guy." Cassie slipped in front of the otter and straddled his leg, grinding into him with the rhythm of the music. "That's right... You never want to dance with me. How you like it?"

"Sandy? What's gotten into you?" Yoyo leaned in to sniff the panther's very alcoholic breath and only ended up with her lips sealed to his. "Mm! Mn~! Pah! Sandy!? What the fuck!?"

"You know you like it. Or maybe... it's not enough...?" Cassie slid down her dance partner's leg and collapsed to her knees, but before the stunned otter could react his cock was out in her paws. "You liked that bitch kid's muzzle, huh? Lemme try it them... then..."

"Wait, Sandy... Oh, gods..." Half of Yoyo's length slipped between Cassie's pouty lips in an instant, then before he could settle into the sensations her rough tongue slipped side to side. "Shit, Sandy... Don't lick the head like that! I m-might cum!"

"Damn straight. This is my kind of party." A bull lifted Cassie's rear by her tail as he fumbled with the fly of his pants. "I love these drugged out nasty girls, man. Mind me sharing?"

"Fuck off, man!"

"No, why don't you fuck off before you get your jaw broke." The bull pulled out his hard cock and pulled Cassie's panties to the side. "She wants a real man, you water rat. Just be lucky I'm letting you have her muzz--!"

Iolvin slammed the side of the bull's head with both paws held together, the entire power of his body smashing into the asshole's jaw. "No, you go fuck off you rapist fuck. What's with this fucking town now?" Yoyo stopped Cassie as she returned to suckling his cock, dragging her back to the bathrooms so the bull couldn't see them when he regained his bearings. "Sandy, stop. You're drunk and... high...?"

"And horny." The panther climbed up the taller otter and planted her lips on his for a quick, sloppy kiss. "You promised! I thought you were an upright guy!"

"Quiet... I'd rather not get my tail snapped like a twig." Yoyo contemplated dragging Cassie into the men's restroom, but in a stroke of genius he instead chose the women's door. "I might not get chucked out with you hanging off me. Hey, ladies. Helping a friend. There a free...?"

"Isn't that sweet? Why can't my boyfriend take care of me like that? Totally a keeper, honey." A gazelle shoved open a stall door and held it for the two. "Here, sweetie. I hope you feel better."

"Thank you." Yoyo locked the stall door behind him and sat Cassie down on the toilet. "Damn, Sandy... You get pretty fucked up when you're wasted and in heat. You... need some eye candy while you get yourself off? Would that help?"

"It's a fucking start. Let me see my hero's sword." A paw went up to pull Yoyo's cock free again while another slid beneath Cassie's dress and into her panties. "Did you get bigger?"

"Uh... A little bit, yeah. Sandy, could you... just look? No paws?"

"Oh, good idea." Cassie quickly stood and shoved Yoyo down onto the toilet seat. She raised the bottom of her dress playfully and pulled aside her panties, giving the otter a very detailed view as she dipped her fingers inside herself. "This... your f-first time seeing this? My pussy?"

"That's... a first..." The pussy's pussy lurched forward as Cassie leaned over Yoyo, giving his snout the full bouquet of pheromones she produced. "Sandy, I'm not going down on you. Don't even think about it. I still want to be friends after this."

Cassie lightly growled and hissed at that remark. "Well fuck that. You promised." She looked down for a moment, then sat flat into Yoyo's lap... the whole of his manhood filling her velvet folds flush with otter. "Holy hell... That's what I need..."

"S-Sandy! Fuck! I don't even have a rubber on!"

Cassie fought off her partner's attempts to stop her slight hip motions by locking her lips to his... and passing the otter something pill shaped with her tongue. "I know you want this as much as I do. Just... Just fuck me, Yoyo."

"Wait. What was...?" Again Cassie silenced the otter with a kiss, though this time Yoyo found himself struggling hard to lift his friend to no avail due to her leverage. "Hah... Sandy, I'm... Oh fuck...!"

"Yes! Just like this!" Cassie ground her cunt against Yoyo's knot as he unloaded a pint of glowing magenta cum deep inside her, her heated frenzy desperate to lock in every drop. "Fuck! You're too big!?"

A cheer sounded from the next stall. "Give her hell, handsome!"

Yoyo and Cassie both stared down at their sloppy, leaking juncture and chuckled as the ridiculousness of the situation sank deeper. "Oh shit, Sandy... What are we doing? What... did we do?"

"No taking it back now. You promised, Yoyo." Cassie rolled her hips over that knot then smiled when she realized her partner was still hard as stone inside her. "Now I see what your girlfriends saw in you. Fuck, the screaming even makes sense..."

"Crap, we didn't... I have a fucking condom in my wallet, Sandy. You know that; you're the one that made me always keep one!" Yoyo slapped a paw to his face as the room started spinning. "Fuck, what did you... give me...?"

"A good time, big guy." Cassie started moving once again, leading Yoyo to stand on wobbly legs and press her against the stall door. "There's my stud... Ready to keep your promise now?"

"You... bet..."



Present Day

Cassandra's Apartment



"Damn, when I think about it I don't really remember a few hours that night either." Iolvin shook his head as he tried to figure out more details, but all that came back were flashes of sex and the scent of panther. "I hope that helps. You were really screwed up that night. You don't remember a thing?"

"No, cabron. I remember the whole night." Cassandra's expression soured as she chugged the rest of her beer, spilling a bit on her dress. "Fuck, by favorite..."

"Wait... you remember it all? Then why ask about it?" Yoyo stood and went for a dish towel by the sink, offering it to Cassie to dab up her stain. "What am I missing out here? What exactly happened between us?"

"You mean aside from the unprotected sex when I was in heat, five times? Fuck, Yoyo... I knew you had stamina but... I mean, that was impressive and..." Cassie sighed as she tossed her towel back to the sink. "You fucking shoved that monster up my ass, you know. That was the one and only time I've ever... done that."

"Is... that what this is about? Fuck, Sandy... I'm sorry. I wasn't myse--"

"That's not it, Yoyo! Fuck, I... I can't do this!" The panther threw herself from the sofa toward her bedroom but jerked to a stop when Yoyo snagged her wrist. "Just let me go! I need a minute, Yoyo!"

"Calm down, Sandy. We can still talk through whatever's bothering you."

"No we can't! We just... I don't want to..." Cassie slumped in defeat, her voice calming. "I don't want to, but... I need to. I just don't know how--"

The door to Yoyo's old bedroom clicked open, a small child poking out and rubbing his eyes. "¿Por qué gritas, mamá?"

"Well, shit." Cassie walked over to the door and knelt down to embrace the child. "Lo siento, mi niño. Ah... En inglés, por favor."

"Th-This...?" Yoyo took a few steps to the side to get a better look, each footfall driving out the entire contents of his lungs. The child had the markings of his mother... but a large anvil nose and a thick, rudder-like tail. Then there was the most telling characteristic, the pup's skin glowed with a hum between baby blue and indigo much like Yoyo's magenta. "Sandy... this is my...?"

"Your son, Iolvin. His name is Artemis." Cassie rubbed her son's back and stroked his thick fur down through his tail. "Everything is alright, Arty. Mama isn't angry."

"But you were yelling..." Artemis looked around as his mismatched gold and lavender cat eyes adjusted to the bright of the living room. "Who are you, mister?"

"He's..." A silent pause reeked of Cassie deciding whether to lie or do the right thing. "This is Iolvin. He's your papa, Arty."

"Papa?" Arty's eyes widened and a smile stretched over his face. "Is papa here to play? Miss Beacon isn't very fun."

"Well Miss Beacon is still coming. I haven't seen your papa in a long time, and we... we were going to catch up..." Cassie stood and wiped her eyes, fleeing to her bedroom with fresh sniffles. "I can't do this. Yoyo, just go. I... I have a babysitter coming anyway. Just... please, enjoy your new life with your mates..."

"Sandy, don't..." Yoyo tried to follow into the bedroom but found the door locked behind Cassie. He easily undid the basic lock with a key above the door, but by then the tricky panther had wedged a chair under the handle on the far side. "Cassandra, please come out. Sandy."

"Papa? Are you and mama fighting?"

"No... not yet, anyway. Artemis, huh?" Yoyo looked around and found two things of great usefulness in this situation by the sofa. He lifted up his son and carried him over, picking up both a game controller and his beer. "Is this yours? Do you like playing Bark of Valor?"

"Yeah! Can I play this late? ~Please~?"

Iolvin sat his son in his lap and powered up the console. "Where's your mom keep her extra controller? I'm gonna show you a few tricks she showed me."



Nine Years Ago

Iolvin and Cassandra's Apartment



"¡Madre de Dios! ¡Maldita sea!" Cassandra slammed her controller against her armrest as her soldier exploded from a grenade. "How the fuck didn't I see that!? What the hell, Yoyo?"

"Hey, you taught me how to cook and skip them like that. You're not supposed to see it coming." Iolvin purposely held his character in the open so another friend online would kill him. "Shit, my kill streak. Nobody's perfect, huh?"

"Yeah... Just a wierd match I guess." Cassie pulled down her microphone on her headset and announced, "Prepare to meet your maker, guys. Sniper time."

"Well, shit. Someone's pissed." Yoyo held a paw over his own mic and chuckled out, "Take it easy on Jesse. The guy's new to the game and I don't want to scare him off."

"Yeah? Well fuck Jesse. No mercy." Cassie switched her loadout to a very specialized shoot-andScoot sniper class and jumped back into the fray. "I need to vent. Sorry."

"Really? I couldn't tell." Sarcasm aside, Yoyo truly did care about the wellbeing of his best friend. He muted his headset's mic and chose a more idle camping role in the game so he could divert his focus. "You want to talk about it? I know you're a passionate woman, but you don't let much normally get under your pelt like this."

"You know me too damn well, big guy." Cassie found a decent sniping perch and settled into it to wait for a target. "Chad dumped me. The guy completely blindsided me with it too. I thought we were... decent."

"Yeah, I've seen you two around. He's pretty hot and all, but he really seemed to care for you too." Yoyo chucked two shotgun slugs into someone's chest as they passed him and he chose a different corner of the room to hide. "So what happened? You looked happy together."

"For once, I thought I might be... but he found someone else." Cassie saw Yoyo through a window and popped a .308 round into his face with a satisfied grin. "I can't really blame the guy. He found an otter girl like him, and he's a senior so he has a life to think about..."

"That's still a dick move though. I don't care if he wants litters of whelps, he should have given you a heads-up." Yoyo used his respawn timer as an excuse to face Cassie and place a paw on her shoulder. "Is there any way I can help? Something to make you feel better?"

Cassie sighed at a thought. "You're dating guys now, right? You're not into women?"

"Well... I'm dating Cory, sure, but--"

"Good, so you won't object to this?" Cassie took Yoyo's paw and slid it down the front of her jeans, gasping slightly as a finger brushed her clit. "Chad left me in heat and you've got a bunch of wasted experience... so maybe you could help? My own paws do nothing for me when I'm in heat."

"Sandy, I don't know..." Yoyo swallowed hard as he instinctively prodded around, his fingers acting under the influence of delicious pheromones rather than his higher brain functions. "Maybe, if you're... really sure?"

"I can't stop thinking about him because of this. Please, Yoyo?" Cassie set down her controller and headset, then slid her paw to the zipper barely containing Yoyo's bulge. "I'll try to make it worth your time. I won't look, if you're concerned about that. Please?"

"Yeah... Yeah, I'll help you out. But can I...?" Yoyo nudged the lip of Cassie's jeans with his wrist hoping she's unbutton them, but totally didn't expect her to slip out of her pants entirely. "O-Okay. That works too." He repositioned his paw now that he had better access with only a flimsy string bikini in the way. "Fuzzy kitty really does have a fuzzy kitty, doesn't she?"

"I... trim, every now and then. Idiota." Cassie unzipped and unbuttoned Yoyo's pants as well, letting his cock point right for the sky. She blindly found the shaft and started pumping with her soft paw. "Is that good? I've never... pawed off a guy before."

"You jump right to the good stuff, huh? Shame." Yoyo swiveled his paw so his fingers could prod into Cassie's splayed, drooling lips, but her made sure not to directly touch her clit. Instead, he placed his thumb above the little love button and let his webbing rub and rock the nubbin back and forth. "Some of the best parts of sex are in the foreplay. There's something... ah... sexy about wanting to please a partner."

"Yoyo... That's great, just like that..." Cassie pulled off her shirt, then used her free paw to fondle a breast while the other went back to vigorously pump otter cock. "God... Oh, wow... Huh?" She accidentally broke her word and looked at Yoyo's cock when her paw nudged a growing bulge at his base. "You've g-got a knot?"

"It's not too big, but yeah." Yoyo noticed his friend rolling her hips into his paw and started hooking his fingers upward, pressing gently into her most sensitive spot. "You're already close? Don't hold back on my behalf. Let's--Ouh!--get you feeling good, Sandy."

"Fuck... God, I'm so close..." The panther tried to find the magic position that granted her release, but Yoyo acted faster. He clamped his whole thumb flat along her clit, then pressed his fingers into her compressed G-spot from the inside. "C-Cra-ap! Fu~ck!"

"That's it, fuzzy k-kitty. Let it all o-out." Cassie's paw gripped down in waves timed to her sudden orgasm, the on and off pressure driving Yoyo close to his limit in turn. "Just f-focus on you, Sandy. Gods... That l-looks like a... good one."

"Oh... Oh fuck..." Her legs kicked outward and her toes twitched into curls as Cassie rode out one of the strongest orgasms of her life. "Th-Thank you... Yoyo..."

"Gods, I'm... just helping a f-friend..."

Drunk on the dopamine high of her climax, Cassie rolled to her side and attempted to repay such loyalty with her muzzle. She slipped the head of Yoyo's cock into her mouth and rolled her tongue in circles, the rough side scraping his most sensitive spot just right with every pass. She eventually added a slight bob to her head, but by then it didn't really change much of the outcome.

"S-Sandy!? I'm... I'm gonna...!

Cassie simply nodded her head as she worked, her purring seemingly rising to the volume of a roaring engine. Yoyo rested a paw on her head lightly, not pressing her down in the least but more out of appreciation as his fingers and claws scritched through her hair while he came. After about a dozen seconds Cassie slurped her head back and sat upright, slowly taking her time to taste the otter's gift before swallowing it down. "God... I'm sorry. I said I wouldn't look, but..."

"Fuck... Damn, Sandy. I thought you didn't like doing that."

"I normally don't... but for you, I'll make an exception." A bit of overflow drooled down Cassie's chin, prompting the panther to lick the pearly white from her lips. She felt the wetness of her panties and slid them off, pulling her jeans up commando. "It tastes weird, but not bad like I've heard... Here, keep these. You earned them."

"Hey wait, was that...? I'm your first time for that, going down on a guy?" Cassie slowly nodded as additional blood rushed to her cheeks, which only highlighted the bit of cum she'd missed. Yoyo pulled her closer by the chin and licked the droplet of cum for her. "Missed a bit."

"Yoyo..." Cassandra stared into her best friend's eyes and an urge overtook her, the panther pressing forward to lock lips with the otter. He didn't respond with anything but surprise however, causing Cassie to back away and gaze at the otter paw that now chivalrously protected her privacy. "Shit. I'm sorry. I shouldn't have done that."

"Sandy...?"

"You probably don't think that way. I..." Cassie pulled Yoyo's polite, caring paw free of her crotch to button her jeans and sighed in disappointment. "I don't want to lose you... and if we cross certain lines, we can't go back."

"Cass--"

"Just forget that happened. I... I appreciate the help and... I hope you enjoyed that gift."

"_ Cassandra . Stop." Yoyo pulled the panther's head into his chest and hugged her close, wiping her face of newly-formed tears. "I'm not... I'm not in a place in my life where I can decide something like that. I like you too, but... it's _confusing."

"But I... I thought you only liked guys...?"

"I was trying to say that before. I'm bi, Sandy. This was... very meaningful to me."

Cassie flushed further red as Yoyo stroked her hair and rubbed her ears. "Yoyo, I don't want to lose you because I was stupid. I'm... scared. You're my best friend."

"Sandy, I'll never leave you--especially over something like a misplaced kiss." Yoyo pecked a few soft kisses atop Cassie's head to calm her. "Whenever you need me, I'll be right here to help. We'll always be together. We'll always be close. And if your feelings ever change, I'll do my best to match. We'll grow old together, fuzzy kitty. Okay?"

Cassie raised her head to see the pure honesty in Yoyo's eyes. "You... You promise? I know you always keep your promises."

"I do." Iolvin leaned in close and locked his lips to Cassandra's for a sweet, tame kiss. "Of course I promise."

The two relaxed after their bout of exertion, a soft purr uniting them. Then the next match started loading to the sounds of various cheers and claps over Cassandra's headset. "¡Pequeños imbéciles!"



Present Day

Cassandra's Apartment



"Damnit... I fucking cried myself to sleep?" Cassandra heard a clack outside her bedroom door and immediately reached for a baseball bat next to her dresser. "Fuck, not again. Those fucking opossum assholes--" She silently unlocked her bedroom door and slipped out, weapon ready to strike, when she noticed Iolvin carrying Artemis to bed. "Yoyo? I nearly beat the shit outta you."

"Sandy... Quiet, hon." Iolvin gently laid his son in his bed and carefully tucked the covers over him. "Little guy wanted to stay up late and I just couldn't tell him 'no'."

"You didn't have to..." Cassie eased the door shut as Yoyo slipped out the room. "Wait, what are you even doing here? And where's Laura?"

"The babysitter? I told her I'd take care of things. She seemed to enjoy having a Friday off."

"Well after inviting you so suddenly earlier, I had to make a convincing case for her to stay the night." Cassie noticed Yoyo rolling his shoulder again, the joint popping quite loudly. "What about dinner? You didn't let Arty starve, did you?"

"Made my world famous boxed mac and cheese." That reminded Yoyo to pick up the used bowls and place them in the sink. "I spiced it up a bit with some hot sauce and peppers you had lying around and he seemed to love it."

"Really? Arty never likes spicy food. How the hell did you manage that miracle?"

Yoyo flexed his real arm and smirked, the move causing him to stretch out his back a moment later. "I told him he'd grow up big and strong like me. You never tried that old line before?"

"I have, but... huh."

"Look... I just wanted to make sure both of you were alright. You left him on his own, Sandy." Yoyo backed his way to the front door. "I'll leave you two if you want. I hope you feel... better.

"I... Crap, you're right. Thank you, Yoyo." Cassie watched her friend hiss lightly as he reached out for the door handle, which prompted a change of tactics. "You know... I could take a look at your back for you. It's the least I could do to pay you back."

"Really? My shoulder's been bothering me for months." Yoyo slowly returned from the entryway and stretched his arm forward with a groan. "Maybe I should have taken you up on your offer earlier today. Dee and Zoë came back looking relaxed as hell."

"Could we... not mention them, for now?"

"Yeah... Sorry. Somehow I need to explain all this to them though." Yoyo caught himself talking about his mates again and diverted his attention elsewhere. "So where's best? The sofa, maybe? Or do you have one of those table things somewhere?"

"My bed. I'm pretty sure I can work things out like that." Cassie diverted to the bathroom to grab a towel. "Just lay on the bed and strip so I can work directly."

"Oh, new bed. Finally find a guy to break the old one while I was gone?" Yoyo pulled off his shirt and eased himself down face-first, his long legs dangling off the end of the queen sized bed. "Super comfy... and filled with stuffed animals and pillows again. You always did like this cute stuff."

"One, I'm a girl. I love cute shit. Two, I haven't had sex since... our last encounter..." Cassie draped the towel over Yoyo's thighs and curved it around his tail, then quickly yanked down his pants and underwear. "And three, I said to strip. If I'm doing this, I'm doing it right."

"Uh... I was hoping to avoid the awkward stuff, Sandy." Yoyo drove his face over two pillows and tried to relax. "I appreciate it... This of course, but... telling me about my son. It means a lot to me."

"You deserved to know... amongst other things." Cassie pulled her dress over her head and tossed it next to Yoyo's face, which caused the otter to tense in confusion. "Don't get any ideas. I don't want to rip my favorite dress."

"O-Okay..." Yoyo tried relaxing again, but a familiar scent lingered on the dress. Cassie was in heat. "Uh... so you said 'other things'?"

"Don't worry about it. Just worry about what hurts." Cassie ran a paw over the large scar separating Yoyo's real body from his false one. "This is like Robyn... It's so much of you, too. What happened to you, Yoyo? Tell me the truth this time."

"I did tell you the truth. We went to fight a war far, far out there in space." The otter groaned as his friend probed about with her paws in moments of hard pressure. "I saved everyone I could after an explosion, but... I got caught in the aftermath. Next thing I know, I'm a few months older, a hundred pounds lighter, and I've got two grown boys I never knew..."

The panther found a trend in her search, only the connecting muscles for the scarred areas getting pained responses. "So... you already have two sons? Are they... human, like your wife?"

"They're a lot like me, actually--twins even. They're also a bit like some aliens we brought back, but that's a much stranger story." Yoyo hissed as Cassie rolled her elbow into his back, spreading larger and larger circles out from a few select spinal links. "The next thing I know, they're joining me at my second wedding with a wife of their own. I... wish I could have more time watching them grow up. That's why I want this, Sandy. I need this."

"You really do care about Arty, don't you?" Cassie pinched Yoyo's real shoulder and spread her fingers downward, stretching and unfolding layers of bunched muscles and tendons. "Thanks for sharing that with me, Yoyo. I... always knew you'd make a good father. But a hero? If it weren't for your dad I'd never have guessed."

"My dad..." The room went silent, save for a few groans. Then those groans turned to sobs. "Shit..."

Cassie stopped her massage, instead choosing to turn Yoyo over for fear of having injured him. "Yoyo? Crap. I didn't break this robot stuff, did I? Does it hurt?"

"No... no... I just... My dad sacrificed himself for us. All this thinking about being a father myself... I wonder if he felt the same way..." Yoyo stared up into Cassie's eyes as she fought with what she should say, but soon he noticed a large scar poking out from the side of Cassie's bra and running all the way over to her heart "Sandy... what happened? That scar looks fresh."

"Don't--" Cassie covered her chest with her arms, but Yoyo overpowered her out of concern. "Stop! You're not supposed to see this!"

"Sandy, _ please _. You're acting really strange and not at all yourself. What's going on with you? I want to help."

"Dios mío..." Tears welled in Cassie's eyes as she admitted her secret. "I had cancer, Iolvin."

"Cancer... Gods, if I'd known--"

"It wouldn't matter. I found out after you left, and thankfully after I had Arty." Those tears started rolling down Cassie's face, Yoyo reaching up to wipe her cheeks clean. "I was... getting a breast exam and they found it in there. I had lung cancer and it spread to my breast..." Cassie drooped her head as she unlatched her bra, then after freeing her chest she fumbled with something at the side of her scarred breast. "This one's basically fake now. I'm... ugly..."

"You're not ugly, Sandy." Yoyo watched as the breast deflated, an implant pulling out the side into Cassie's paw. "Damn, Sandy..."

"See? I'm fucking ugly now." Cassie fell forward, smothering Yoyo with her chest as she broke down crying. "Of all people to think it, why'd it have to be you!? I... I shouldn't have shown you!"

Yoyo slowly nudged his muzzle upward and gave Cassie's flat breast a series of kisses. "Now where did you get that idea?" He nibbled on the nipple, relaxing when Cassie let out a pleasured gasp. "I could never see you any other way but beautiful, fuzzy kitty."

"Yoyo... what...?" Cassie gasped as she felt honest proof of Yoyo's sincerity poking her in the tail. "What does this mean? I thought you didn't--?"

"You should know by now." Yoyo slid his paws up Cassie's sides and alternated kisses and suckles between tits. "I made a promise , and I intend to keep it if you're still willing."

"Oh, Yoyo..." Cassie pushed Yoyo's head back to stare into his eyes. "You're serious. But you're married..."

"To the most understanding, caring mates. And I know you're against the idea, but you're always welcome to join us if you have a change of heart." With absolute determination in his expression, Yoyo pulled Cassie's mouth down for a kiss. "I love you, Sandy."

"I...! God, I love you too! I've always loved you!"

"I'm sorry it took until now for me to realize it."

"No... I should have just fucking said it earlier instead of..."

"Teasing me?" The otter reached for the Cassie's implant and gently guided it back into place, to alleviate any awkwardness. "These babies were my first tits. Your teasing might be the only thing that gave me the confidence to get out there and find real dates. And if we're being honest here..." Yoyo took Sandy's bra and latched it back in place to keep her implant in place. "...a lot of times I was with another girl, I was thinking of you."

"Are you kidding me? Do you know why every guy I've ever dated looked like you, all otters and wolf dogs? Fuck, I don't think there's a single time I've had sex that I didn't have to explain calling out your name as just something Spanish." Cassie adjusted her bra, appreciating feeling whole again and a bit surprised her lover didn't demand access to her tits like the inconsiderate others before him. "I'm madly in love with someone I can't have, but... I'll take what I can get. Especially... if I can replace that horrible memory of my first time with you..."

"Well we've got a bit more control this time around. In fact..." Yoyo eased himself upright--his back feeling a million times better--and fumbled around in his pants for a moment. He came back with the telltale foil packet of a condom and started ripping it open. "I won't put you through having another kid you never planned on, kitty. A bit of responsibility isn't a bad thing, eh?"

"It definitely isn't." The panther snatched the condom and pierced right through it with a sharp claw. "That's why I'm sure you'll take full responsibility if I have another."

"You know that wasn't my only one, right?" Yoyo took the ruined condom and tossed it aside with a chuckle. "I'm serious though. I care about you and... your health..."

"They dug that shit clean out of me. I'm still at risk of it coming back, but... not for a while, at least." Cassie reached back and gave her lover's cock a few gentle strokes to keep him ready, finding to her surprise he was still hard as granite. "I'm not looking to get knocked up, but... I want to make love like we mean it--like we're together. It's always been my dream for us."

"You say that like it wouldn't ever happen." Yoyo kissed his way up Cassie's neck starting between her tits and ending with a deep sealed embrace of two muzzles. "When I say I love you, I really mean it. When I ask you to join us, I mean... I want you to be my mate."

"And... you know I can't. I don't believe in that, in... poly..."

"Polygamy. And I know that. Doesn't stop me from wanting you at my side through life." The otter slid a paw down and guided the tip of his manhood to poke his panther's pussy through her panties. "Staring death in the face changes your priorities. You know that just as much as I do."

Cassie slid her panties to the side and slowly sank down upon that enormous obelisk of otter meat, purring deeply as her lover let her take command. "Yeah, cancer... made all of my life for Arty. I want to see him grow up to be like his father, to have a happy life with a family of his own."

"It's a good feeling to have, that." Yoyo squeaked and groaned as Cassie sank down as far as she could manage. "Look... We don't need to get married. I just... want you in my life again. I love you, and I missed you."

"Then let's start at love and see where it goes from there." Cassie looked down as she reached her deepest until her heated womb burned then gasped at the length remaining. "Have you gotten bigger? Shit, Yoyo..."

"Yeah, you're not taking that whole thing without a bit of effort and pain. Sorry." The otter pumped his hips to get things started, his partner getting the hint with a wince and a yip. "Just take it easy. Enjoy yourself. I'll let you know if I'm close so I can pull out."

"No, I want it in me." Her hips rising and falling millimeters lower per fall, Cassie aimed to stretch how much she could take for the sake of her heat. "Last time I couldn't take the knot... but I... I want to feel all of you, Yoyo."

"I'm not sure that's for everyone. You know what has to happen to take all of me, right?" Yoyo grabbed Cassie's sides and pressed upward into her cervix, finding to his surprise that her heat was causing it to soften some. "It only works if I go deeper, and to do that... It'll hurt, no doubt."

"I was sore as hell deep inside after the time at the club. I think we managed it with the help of some good shit in out systems the last time." Cassie refused to give up, sitting down with all of her weight for a split second and causing her cervix to stretch out a bit. "Oh, God... It... It hurts, but it feels..."

"Pretty good? Zoë says it's like that too." Iolvin started thrusting back against Cassie's falls, aiding in her determined outcome. "I'm getting close, Sandy. Just... keep going. I can cum all night."

"Yeah, I know. Why do you think that's my favorite dress?" As she lifted up, Cassie reached for her dress by the headboard and dropped it on her lover's chest. "You nearly ruined it with the stains, but... it smells like you."

"That... really is the same dress. Fuck, that's sexy. That's like our sirats... Fuck..." Yoyo reached up and pulled Cassie down for a passionate kiss. "You s-sure you want this? I don't want you h-having a kid you d-don't want..."

"Absolutely. Fucking fill me up, big guy." Cassie rose back up to regain her leverage, pressing that last bit with all her strength until her pussy kissed Yoyo's knot. "F-Fu~ck...! God, that's... amazing...!"

"Now or n-never..." Yoyo reached down and gave his swelling knot a few squeezes. "I'm getting too b-big, Sandy..."

"N-No!" Cassandra raised her ass high, wincing as her womb shut itself, then forced herself down with all the force she could muster. After a moment of stunning pain, the hot pulsing of cum cooled her heat in the most mind-numbing manner possible. "F-F-Fu-uc-c-ck~...!"

"Holy shit!" Iolvin jammed his hips upward at the pressure around his knot, raising Cassandra off the bed even as she pulled herself downward. "S-So... fucking p-perfect...!"

"Oh, Dios... Oh, Dios mío..." Cassie twitched and shook over her lover as she rode out her peak, her climax coming back in small waves as more and more cum pumped into her sealed womb and pussy. "Eres enorme."

"Gods, that's sexy. I always loved your Spanish." Yoyo giggled through gasps of exertion as he pulled Cassie down and rolled to his side. He stared right into her eyes, the two sharing a content smile between them as they felt satisfaction beyond words. "I love you, Sandy."

"And I love you, Yoyo." Cassie kissed her love as he pulled up the sheets around them to keep in their warmth. "I feel so... full. So happy..."

"Well you are full, fuzzy kitty." Yoyo rubbed a growing bulge in the panther's belly as his cum overfilled her womb. "And if that's not enough, I'll give you all you want--all night."

"Well we have a lot of time to make up for, big guy." Cassie pulled herself close, snuggling into her otter's chest as her lower half jittered and shook with each new pulse of jizz. "But we have all night. Let's just... enjoy this while we--"

"Mamá?" Artemis opened the door with tears forming in his eyes and ran over to the side of the bed. "Tengo miedo, mamá."

"What's the matter?"

"He's scared of something." Cassie strained to turn her back around and pulled her child onto the bed. "What could possibly scare my brave little man.?"

The child took a moment to think about his words in English, now noticing his father in the bed. "I heard people screaming. The monsters are eating them!"

"Oh, Arty... There aren't any monsters. That, um... was..."

Iolvin reached for his son and pulled him between the both of his conjoined parents beneath the sheets, hoping he wasn't tall enough to notice their copulation. "It's alright, son. You see this?" He grabbed his fake bicep as he flexed it, then guided Arty's paw to feel it next. "I'm part robot. If any monsters come to eat you, I'll just bop them real hard so they go away."

"Woah..." Arty suddenly looked amazed as he squeeed the smooth arm with as much strength as he could muster to no avail. "My papa's a robot! Cool!"

"See? You're safe with me here. Now do you want to try going to sleep?" Yoyo grinned as he stated the next part. "If you hear any more screaming and yelling, I'm just fighting off the monsters. It's okay."

"But... I want to stay with you." The adorable hybrid spun around and snuggled against his father. "Can I sleep here, please?"

"I don't know..." Cassie acceptingly nodded and smiled to her lover, causing him to giggle at the quick end of their lovemaking session. "You know what? Sure thing, Arty. The monsters won't try coming close if I'm here."

"Thank you..." Artemis shut his eyes as he pressed against the warm, soft pelt of his father. "I love you, papa."

Iolvin threw an arm around his son and embraced him lovingly, Cassandra pulling closer to complete the cuddle pile. "I love you too--both of you."



The Next Morning

Cassandra's Apartment



"Mama, do you really gotta go?"

Mama Cassandra shook as she pressed against the kitchen counter and cooked some eggs. "Y-Yes, Arty. I need to work t-today." The panther nearly collapsed and sent her eggs flying as a massive orgasm overtook her. "Y-Yoyo...!"

Artemis stopped watching some cartoons on television and swapped over to the game console to play something. "But where's Miss Beacon?"

"God... Sh-She's not coming t-today..."

Iolvin licked his sloppy muzzle as he rose up from beneath Cassie's tail... only to then slide his cock inside her with a kiss to the neck. "I have a feeling your mom's going to have a good day. Maybe if we're lucky she'll let me watch you instead..."

"N-Not fair..." Cassie gasped as Yoyo shoved beyond her cervix and started unloading the contents of his balls into her. "God... Idiota...!

"Heeeee..." Yoyo pulled himself back and made himself decent, but left Cassie in nothing but her uniform's pleated work skirt as he stole her panties and stuffed them in his pocket. "You know the tradition..."

"Damnit, Yoyo. I can feel you leaking out of me... all hot down ny thigh..."

Yoyo showed a little restraint by kneeling down and lapping up the initial leak until the flow slowed. "That should hold you over for a while. Have fun at work, honey."

"Shit, I do need to go. You kept me in bed too long, Yoyo. And the shower. And the closet."

Yoyo took over the frying pan and shooed his lover toward the door. "I've got this. I want this." He smiled as he scrambled the eggs and added some pepper and paprika. "Go do your thing and we'll do ours. Then... maybe we can finally have that night out later? Maybe even with my mates, just as friends?"

"That... actually sounds nice. Sure, if you can get Laura to take care of Arty tonight. Her number's in the book by the--"

"Maybe we can go have a family dinner? I... really want to spend more time with my son."

"...Yeah, okay. That's... sweet, especially for you. You really have changed." Cassie crouched by her son as she left, holding out her arms for a hug. "I'm off, Arty. Listen to whatever your papa tells you, just like you listen to me. Will you be a good boy for me?"

Arty paused his game and practically tackled his mother with a leaping hug full of love. "Sí, mamá."

"I love you, Arty. Have fun while I'm gone."

Arty waved as he went back to his game, his mother smiling contently as she left him to his fun. "I love you too, mama."

Cassie smirked as Yoyo approached with plates of eggs in his paws. "Go light on the snacks, and no rough stuff. You break it, you buy it."

"I told you, I've got this." Iolvin kissed Cassandra goodbye, the two silently sharing a fun giggle as she left. "I love you."

"And I love you. Bye, Yoyo."

"Have fun, Sandy." The otter closed the door and returned to the sofa to set the plates down on the coffee table. "Eggs are ready, Arty. Oh, what's that game you're playing?

"Phantom Scouts." Arty paused the game as he went to eat like the good boy he was. "I just got this cool spaceship and it's hu~ge! The way it flies is awesome!"

"So you like spaceships, huh? Pretty cool." Yoyo paused before digging into his own plate, planting a caring paw to rub his son between the ears. "Well how would you like to see a real one? I could show you my sister's ship after we get done with breakfast."

Arty nearly choked as his jaw dropped mid-chew. "Really!? She has a spaceship!?"

"She sure does, and it's even bigger than that one in your game." Yoyo smiled for a moment before forking his own meal. "Yeah, let's do that. We'll show you the Starbreeze and you can maybe meet your dad's friends and family at the same time. Does that sound fun?"

The little hybrid munched more of his food, speaking with a full mouth much like his father did at the same age. "Yeah! Cool!"

"Then let's have a hell of a day." Iolvin took a large mouthful of eggs and chewed away, staring in disbelief at how amazing his son turned out. "I love you, son."

Artemis smiled for his father and gave him a caring slap between rudder tails. "I love you too, papa."
