TwoKinds: His and Her Predicament Chapter 6
#3 of Old Fic Versions
RECAP: Zen found out that his brother Natani and former "prince" of greed Clovis were sleeping together. Now the older brother is making assumptions about Clovis still wanting to get back at them for what happened at the Dragon Masquerade. The half-breed admitted to wanting to turn the brothers and everyone in town to the Templar but also stated she forgot about it because for falling in love with Natani.
(May contain mature situations later on. Natani is referred to as he and Clovis she. Twokinds belongs to Tom Fischbach!)
Clovis sat up in the bedroom and tried to get herself together after Zen accused her of turning them in. It infuriated her so much that the older brother was just so set on reminding her of past mistakes. She knew she wasn't the best in her past as a mob boss but she definitely wasn't going to let one wolf define what she could be in the future. A knock came to the door and the half-breed wiped her eyes of the tears, turning around to sit up straight as she looked to the door, "Clovis....Can I come in...It's Natani.."
"Yea sure. Come in..." She answered and wiped away more tears, not wanting to look like a weak cry baby in front of the wolf. Natani opened the door and shut it slowly, knowing Zen was outside cooling off from the tension earlier. He walked over to the bed and stroked her blonde hair, sitting as he cuddled Clovis in his arms gently. It was understandable that Zen was concerned but to accuse was another thing that didn't fly with the younger brother.
"Are you okay? I'm sorry he's like that but he has his reasons though...He's seen me go through enough after things went bad last year in Edinmire. That wasn't a good time for us then...." He told her and rubbed her shoulder soothingly, giving kisses to the top of her head and taking in how pretty she smelled. Natani saw how puffy her eyes and red her face looked from all the anger and frustration earlier, trying to not chuckle at the sight. "He just doesn't want me going down a path that is going to hurt me again. Not after Keith..."
This gained Clovis' attention and her ears perked up when Natani mentioned him. "Who's Keith? Were you two close?"
"We....were yes...Keith and I were engaged at one point..about a year ago until the attack in Edinmire." He looked over to the nightstand where the ring was still in the box that the Basitin presented to him. "Brahn brought upon an attack to everyone in Edinmire....to get to us....Trace, Flora, Keith, Zen, and I. When they did....Keith gave us a chance to get out. I didn't want to leave him and help fight but he told Zen to get me out. That was the last time I saw him."
The half-breed listened and realized the attack last year brought on to take out those whom she wanted to get back at: Zen and Natani. She never realized that it took away Natani's chance at happiness with the Basitin that was killed in action. "That's horrible....I'm so sorry....I'm sure he was a great guy." The pit of her stomach felt sick to the news and the guilt writhing within, knowing she was at fault for his death and many others.
Natani stood up and stroked her cheek gently, a sad smile coming to her face as she walked toward the door," Don't worry about it.~ Take a minute to cool off and then come down. I'll be waiting down there when dinner is ready." Clovis nodded and bit her lip gently, wondering how she could spill more of the truth without hurting her relationship with the wolf.
A couple days gave everyone a chance to cool down from all the tension, Zen going about work as usual as well as Natani. Clovis would keep up with the house until the wolf came home from work. It still made the older brother weary of her but he gradually accepted that his younger brother was with her now. Early one morning Clovis came down the stairs, wanting to get an early start to her day before she realized that the oldest brother was sitting on the sofa with a coffee mug in his hand. This was especially a bad day for them to be alone, not because of the conflict but because she was also going into her heat cycle.
Carefully she watched Zen and made her way to the kitchen counter, grabbed a glass from the cabinet and filled it with water when he spoke to her, "Good morning, Clovis." This made her stop and shut off the sink, taking a small drink as she kept her back turned to him and carefully picked out her words so he wouldn't go off the deep end again, "Good morning. Hope you slept well?"
He could definitely tell she wasn't acting her spunky self as she had been a couple days ago and that something was different this time. That day she was nearly ready to fight him off but today she seemed more mellow than when she faced him in front of Natani. Zen took this as an opportunity to talk to Clovis with a bit more gentler approach, sipping on his coffee to find another topic to start on as she made her way to sit on the other side of the sofa. "Yes....How about you? Doing alright with your new body? Enjoying your stay here?"
"Just fine thanks...." Clovis answered and nervously shifted on the sofa, wondering where Natani was at when she needed him around. Zen just cocks an eyebrow at her and notices her skittish behavior, thinking of something else to talk about before he delve too deep into that conversation they just cooled off. "Look I just want to talk with you. I promise. Just simple chit-chat. Why are you so nervous?" She looked at the wolf sideways and sipped on her water more, wondering what to say since this was the first time they had ever been alone. Zen noticed a faint smell in the air but he couldn't quite place what it exactly was.
"It's a personal problem. Just me its not you...." She adjusted herself again on the couch, her shirt open a bit as she hadn't woken up all the way to fully button up. Clovis sipped on her water and tried to calm things down with her body, eyeing Zen from the corner of her eyes as he didn't seem too happy with her really. "What was it you wanted to speak to me about? You pretty much said it all the other day..."
Zen shrugs, shaking his head in response "I was more acting out of suspicion. And not approaching the situation with an open mind, really. And I feel I must... apologize for that. Although, speaking of which, I feel like you're more uncomfortable with me than you were then. I mean, the other day you walked right up to me and knocked the wind right outta me. And that alone took more balls than I've seen from anyone that had a reason to do so, I'll give you that." He slowly started to notice his head feeling a little funny. And that smell was getting stronger. Come to think of it, so was Clovis's scent.
"It's fine...I just don't feel myself today at the moment. I am sorry I overreacted quite a bit...." Clovis felt she couldn't hide any of this from Zen nor Natani for that matter. She thought if Natani took care of her for the last couple days that she would be satisfied but nothing quelled the hormones that were raging in her body. Her eyes watched Zen struggle, feeling bad to be near him and making him suffer around her pheromones. "Is everything alright? You're acting a bit strange yourself..."
Zen nods slowly a bit, before holding his head as if he has a headache "Yeah, my head just feels funny. And I keep smelling something strange..." He soon finds himself looking at Clovis' chest through her unbuttoned shirt, his heart starting to beat a bit faster than usual. He also feels as if he is hardening down there?? He bites his lip, blushing in embarrassment as he tries to hide it, while fighting a burning urge in him to tackle her right then and there on the couch.
She noticed where he was looking and turned her head away blushing quite a bit more. Clovis bit her lip and moved herself a couple more inches away, feeling him to pounce her on the couch. "Ahem! I just well.......It's really hard to say... Do you really think I am not female? I mean the proof is sitting in front of you and there shouldn't be any doubt in your mind that I'm female. You could always check?~" Waiting for his answer, she shifted herself to face Zen and hoped that he would possibly believe her, without actually checking of course.
Finding no further reason for him to stay where he is on the couch, he scoots himself closer to her until the half-breed is well within arms reach "Ngh... Very well. Let's see if you're really a woman here." Soon enough he finds himself looking back to her chest, reaching a hand to one of her breasts to grab it. Oh yeah, that is definitely real. Soon enough though, his clouded suspicions lead him to look lower between her legs, the other hand reaching down and expecting to feel a magically concealed sheath and testicles, only to find- ?! He had just grabbed her actual womanhood. "Okay... yeah... y-you really are a woman." Zen's face is burning red hot in embarrassment as he is frozen in place, only able to look away in shame, biting his lip more.
She was embarrassed that he went to grab her breast then on her womanhood. Her face blushed brightly and stared at the wolf with her cheeks turning red, her area getting moist from his hand being down there. Clovis shifted on the couch and Gods him biting his lip that way made her want him in a way. "Y-Yea.....I am a woman....I am......well...mmmph....Zen you're grabbing my...." Her face said it all, feeling her hormones act up once more from his touch. The half breed then moved away quickly, feeling the heat rise in her face. "Ahem! Anyway....I just......thought you should know that I am a woman...."
Unaware of what exactly is going on with him, and feeling as if guided by instinct like a marionette on a string, Zen moves over not long after Clovis does, giving pursuit to his prey as he grabs hold of her by the arms, pinning her on the sofa and pressing his lips against hers. He kissed her deeply as he breathes heavily, huffing through his nostrils and the tingling in his pants becoming aching for stimulation as his manhood unsheathed and throbs. A tent formed in his pants that almost points at her, before he growls hungrily at her and giving her neck a gentle bite.
When he kissed Clovis, her lips melded with his and her breathing growing just as heavy as his had. She moaned at him biting her neck and her chest heaving up and down as if she could barely breathe. "Zen we can't ...~ I can't do this to Natani....I know he's not a real male but ...We really shouldn't do this...."
Zen seems almost incoherent of any sort of moral restraint at this point, her pheromones so overpowering they seem to drown out most everything in his brain other than primal urges, the strongest being the urge to mate with the female half-breed. "You're right he's not but that doesn't stop you from how you are dealing with your heat cycle.You and I both know you want it...." He slid off his pants and pulled at her pants to throw them aside, pushing up against her womanhood before going inside with a hard thrust. She yelped and felt nothing but pleasure after the pain subsided, wrapping her legs around his waist and kissing Zen once more.
The wolf thrusts into her folds hard and fast, trying to keep her stimulated as much as possible. The female panted and breathed hotly more as his thrusts became harder, his fingers digging into her thighs and moving down to give her behind a squeeze.
Natani made his way home down the trail and up toward the cabin, hoping things between his brother and Clovis weren't starting up again. He only wanted them to get along and not fight, which seemed to have died down since she smacked him a couple days ago. He unlocked the door and went inside the house, hearing noises coming from the living room. That to him didn't sound very much like fighting but more like pleasure. He moved into the living room and was shocked from the sight before him of his brother and his mate, having fun on the sofa.
"Excuse me?! What is this....?!" He shouted and went over to grab his brother, only throwing him on the floor. "Only a couple days ago you couldn't stand her and now you're on top of her like a dog?! Tch....I really thought I could trust you...." Zen stood up and fixed himself, making sure he was covered before going over to Natani with an angered expression. "Me?! I couldn't trust you for the longest time with that half-breed and you kept secrets when you two screwed about behind my back."
"That doesn't give you the reason to take her away from me Zen! Like you did with Keith....Only we left him to die while he protected us! I won't lose someone else just because of what you say is right..." Clovis listened as Natani talked to Zen, remembering the conversation she had with him about Keith. She felt really ashamed for what she was doing with his brother and just sat in silence.
"Look he wanted you to be safe! I had to get you out of there on his orders! Keith wanted you safe, I didn't have any intention to take him from you. Natani I am sorry....I don't know what got over me...." Zen looked down and answered, the younger one walking out of the living room and back outside of the house. Clovis got up and slid on her pants, making Zen stay as she gave him a look like she was sure something else could be done. "I'll make sure he's okay....Just sit down and we'll be back. If I know Natani it's that he just needs some time...."
The half-breed ran out of the house with the older brother taking his spot back on the sofa, taking his time to think over what had just happened. He hurt his brother and something like that couldn't be changed.
