Learning to Swim - Part XXXII
#32 of Entropy Series
Iolvin has a man-to-man with his father and Ashe learns a new trick or two.
I can't believe it's been a month since my last submission! My goal is to be punctual with my story releases, but sometimes life doesn't want to play ball. I apologize for the long wait, but I had some personal issues as well as monetary ones that had to take priority over writing. Part XXXIII is already underway though so hopefully I'll be able to get back in a good groove.
Enjoy this iteration of the story and look forward to another chapter of Singularity soon as well. :3

"You wanted to see me?" Iolvin walked into his father's study fresh from cleaning up after dinner, his paws still a damp mess from the detergent reversing his natural waterproofing.
"Iolvin... Son, I've been putting off something for a long time." Vasily spun around in his chair to face his son, a more serious look on his face than Yoyo expected. "At first I wasn't sure if it was appropriate, since Ielunschra was also quite deserving of this privilege as well. Then the other night your mother had me do what I could to track both of you down and I found that GPS on your jeep right smack outside the nuclear plant."
"Dad, I can explain it all if you--"
"No need, Iolvin. I don't need to know what you're up to, just that you'll be safe. That's why I asked you in here."
Yoyo shuffled slowly to the chair in front of his father's desk and nervously sat down. "I can't promise anything, but we're being extra careful."
"It's 'we' now? I suspected your sister would be involved, especially after that little fairy of hers showed up." Vasily sighed and went for something in a heavy drawer of the desk.
"Sprite's technically all of ours, but Lulu just takes more of an interest in her."
"That's not my point, son." Vasily resurfaced with a walnut box about a foot wide, with some sort of German text burnt into the lid. "Your sister isn't as capable as most furs, even though she likes to think otherwise. That's why I've decided to give this to you after all, so you can protect the both of you."
Yoyo pulled the box closer and inspected it, unable to make out the meaning of any text adorning the box. "I appreciate that but--" As he opened the lid Yoyo was taken back, the only contents being the various parts of a century-old handgun. "I don't understand... Why are you giving me a gun?"
"Not just any gun, son. This is an original Mauser C96 variant made for the old Russian military. Your great grandfather died in a definitive battle of World War Two still holding it in his paws. Grandpa took it into the heat of World War Three and it saved his hide, so he decided to upgrade it and never let it out of his sight. Then he passed it on to me so I could be safe in the Reclamation War." Vasily spun the box about and pointed to a sound suppressor and laser pointer on the frame. "I added a few touches myself to keep the tradition going. This is our trusty family weapon, Iolvin, and it's about time I passed her over to you."
"Her? Gods, naming guns isn't just something Ari does?"
"Your grandpa decided to name her Matilda, actually. But what business exactly does Ielunschra have naming guns?"
Yoyo reached into the box and pulled the main frame of the gun out, followed by the handle and barrel. "I guess I should warn you that she's packing some kind of crazy revolver, dad. No reason you shouldn't know about weapons in your own house." The build of the gun was solid and intuitive, easily leading Yoyo to assemble the basics of the weapon without instruction. "I wouldn't be concerned though. She definitely knows how to handle it and she's really safe, especially with Robyn around."
"I appreciate you telling me that, son. Now I can break that information to your mother before she finds out the hard way and starts screaming." Vasily took hold of his father's improvements and explained them. "I see you've got a feel for her already. Here, these are grandpa's additions. This wooden foregrip slides on first, then you can slide the holster on and use it as a stock. And this scope fits on at an angle so your muzzle doesn't fight the frame, though I gave it a hinge so you can flip it around the other way when you don't need it or need to use the holster as such."
"Oh, I was wondering about that thing. It doesn't even look like a holster since it's made of wood." Iolvin tried to mount the components as his father instructed and more or less succeeded, hiccuping on the odd mounting mechanism for the scope. "These look like they were made for this gun. So grandpa's changes were just factory upgrades?"
"Yeah, but he was part of the Soviet Union back then and they had stricter rules on custom gear, especially in the Ukraine." Vasily grabbed the suppressor next and aligned it to fit the shaped barrel of the handgun. "It took him four months of trading rations and cigarettes to get those. It's sad that I could just write an order and dock it from my pay for these. Here, this slides on and that bearing threads instead of the whole thing. It's different than most silencers but this was a quirky design for a pistol."
Yoyo did as he was told and his father reached in to fasten the bearing further until it audibly clicked. "Oh, I get it. Thanks." The last of the parts was the laser pointer, an odd design with a second emitter that didn't seem to work. Still, it easily attached to the hinged mount that his father added. "So there a trick to this as well I take it?"
"No, you just can't see the other beam; it's a night-vision pointer." Vasily eased the weapon from his son's paws and pulled back the bolt mechanism until it locked open. "There ~is~ a trick to loading her though. See how that stack of bullets is on a strip of metal?" He found a few of the free bullets and a spare bandolier, slipped three rounds onto the strip, and then placed the whole clip over the open breach. "You have to lock the strip in here and then press the bullets into the gun itself with your thumb. That's another reason the sight isn't on top Matilda's frame, so you can more easily load her. Here, try it."
Yoyo took the handgun and examined the clip that dangled over the breach. Sure enough, there was an empty ammunition reservoir beneath. Yoyo pressed down with his thumb and the three rounds jerked into the frame, lining up beneath the bolt. "So it's--she's--sort of manually loaded, like that rifle I always use?"
"Exactly, except you can store the rounds for Matilda on stripper clips for speed. And be careful when you remove the clip, because there's an automatic return latch triggered by that."
Iolvin cleared his fingers and quickly yanked the strip of metal free, the bolt sliding shut and arming the first round immediately. "Thanks. I'd have missed that and pinched my paw for sure."
Vasily held out his right paw pad and showcased a tiny bit of missing flesh that scarred the webbing near the thumb. "I thought I'd save you that one rite of passage, son. Wouldn't want to get blood on that polished frame, would we?"
Iolvin fumbled with the bolt release and yanked the breach open a few times, clearing the gun so it would be safe. "I appreciate that. I'll take good care of her, dad. Oh, and I'll keep her unloaded in the house for you."
Vasily watched his son grab the leather holster harness and place it around his belt. "Son, I trust you with firearms. You've proven yourself enough when you were ten let alone an adult. If you keep her loaded I won't mind, and I won't tell your mother. Just remember the safety is the large lever by the bolt latch. It's a bit different than guns that came after it, and it's not as dependable so watch out."
"I'll do just that." Soon enough Yoyo figured out how the stock could be removed, then placed it into the holster harness and opened the butt end. He took the pre-fitted bandoleer and loaded the gun to its full ten rounds, snapped the safety into the non-firing position, flipped the sight rail to the side, and eased Matilda into her holster. With a flick of the butt cap she was secured into place on the otter's hip, thankfully with the safety encased in lacquered walnut so it couldn't be accidentally touched. "Oh, what's she fire? That's a small round for a pistol, right?"
"That big red nine on the handle is her variant's calling card for a reason, son. Nine-millimeter luger is what she was made for, though you can get away with magnum nines if you're careful on their length. She's got an overly-strong barrel too so don't worry about breaking her with the pressure." Vasily reached for a clip and a pawful of bullets so he could start loading a bandoleer for his son. "You just loaded her with some magnums actually, so watch the kick if you use that scope. Those leather pockets on the holster belt can hold two clips each if you face them towards each other, and I'd rather if you kept her ready right now."
"Because you think we're in trouble?" Yoyo grabbed a few clips and the box of rounds so he could load bandoleers himself. "We wouldn't have come back home if we thought we were still in trouble, dad. In fact, I think we're pretty safe now."
"Still, I'd rather you have a way to defend yourself and your sister in any case." Having spent years loading bandoleers for Matilda, Vasily already started on his second by the time Yoyo started his first. "But if you don't mind me asking, what's changed? I've spent years on the battlefield son, so I can tell when you're really safe or not."
"Well... shit." Yoyo paused for a moment before using the clip loading as an excuse to churn his brain about. "To be honest, dad... I shot a guy that night. He was trying to fuck around with Lulu but she had me using a rifle from her lab. I got a chance and shot him, and actually she put an arrow in him too. You'd understand why if you saw the fucker's size."
"And he's the only one that was threatening you? Was he working for the government?" The second stripper clip slid across the desk as Vasily went to load a third. "Details, son. It's always in the details."
"Lulu knows more about it, but she said there were others. The guy we shot seemed to be the one in charge from what I could tell." Yoyo finished his first clip and placed it into the first ammunition pocket, then started placing the others into place as well. "They're definitely not the feds or military though. They're the ones that blew up the power plant from what Lulu says. And the more I think about it, the more I wonder if I did the world a favor when I shot that guy."
"Good. As long as you're thinking about why you're using lethal force, you're wielding it responsibly. My commanding officers could coldly tell me to murder all they wanted, but I always held the decision to pull the trigger. Always remember that, son. It's always up to you to take a life, and as long as your decision is sound there's nothing more to think about." The final of the four clips was placed into Yoyo's own paw, Vasily holding it firmly until he finished his statement. "Just don't ever pull the trigger until you're sure it's right. Promise me that, Iolvin."
Iolvin stared into his father's concerned eyes, finding traces of regret in his pained expression. "I won't make any decisions I'll regret later, dad. I promise." Both otters finding real meaning in the moment, Vasily released the bandoleer with a nod and allowed Yoyo to finish stocking his pouches. "I may not be carrying her through a war, but I'll make the family tradition a proud one."
"Good. I'm glad we had this talk, son." Vasily pushed the weapon's case forward and stood to leave the room. "Don't forget the box. There's cleaning supplies in the bottom compartment. Now if you'll excuse me, I need to warn your mother before she spots you and breaks into a fit."
Yoyo closed the box and picked it up, the rest of Matilda securely fastened to his hip. "I'll come help with that. She'd probably take it better if she could speak with me."
As he opened the door and let Iolvin pass first Vasily warmly responded, "Thanks, son."
Adrian ducked his head into the bathroom for a moment to check the bath as it filled, slumping back into Iolvin's rolling desk chair when he determined it was close to being full. He went back to work on his main focus for a moment, refilling and capping his second fuel cell of the night. Once the device was sealed and emanating an ultraviolet humm he placed it down on the desk. After squeaking the water valves shut on the bath he picked the device back up and jogged out Yoyo's room towards the stairs.
Upon walking down to the landing of the stairs Dee spotted two familiar furs huddled on the sofa watching TV. Well, 'watching' was a relative term when the two consisted of Catherine holding Ashe's slumped body over her lap. "So what's a blind girl's favorite show, anyway?"
"Hmm?" Cathy spun around to examine the source of that voice and smiled welcomely back. "Oh, just seeing if there's any updates on that terrorist attack, Dee honey. Wasn't quite sure what else we could watch myself so the news sounded about right."
"Well you should have said something, Misses Rivet. I just wanted to spend some time together; the TV isn't important to me." Ashe draped her arm over the side of the couch and let it play with India's waiting dreadlocks. "I never got to do this sort of thing when I was younger, so it's nice."
"Dear, you can call me 'Cathy' you know. No need to be so formal around me." The otter reached for the remote and lowered the volume for a moment. "And if you ever just need to rest your head, my lap's always available. You're part of the family now."
"Well if that's the case..." Ashe pulled back her paw and slowly rolled to seemingly look up to Cathy's face. "...could I maybe call you 'mom'? I've always wanted a mom but never, uh..."
Dee sat down on the arm of the sofa and scritched between Ashe's ears. "She probably wants ~me~ to call her that too since I'd dating her son."
"Well if either of you want to call me that, go right ahead. Makes me proud, actually."
"And isn't this just the worst time to not have my camera...?" Yoyo led the way out his father's study with some sort of contraption strapped to his hip. "Oh, considering my eyes hurt looking over there I'm guessing you finally made up a battery for me, Dee?"
"One oxydium charge, ready and waiting. I didn't realize how tired I was feeling until I popped mine in a few minutes ago." Dee hopped up on his hindpaws and frolicked over, planting a kiss on his man's lips with the aid of his tippy-toes. "Everything go well with your dad?"
"Yeah, it was more positive than I thought. Hey..." Yoyo pulled Dee's shirt forward to spy his chest implant, then let go and stared in his eyes. "...you know you're ~pulsing~ right?"
Dee held up a paw pad and then looked down at his chest piece, both seeming to brighten and dim their glow in time with each breath of fresh air. "Well this stuff's supposed to feed off of oxygen, and we give it more when we breathe. Right?"
"I guess so."
"Iolvin, honey. Sorry to interrupt but..." Cathy locked eyes with her husband's own and disapprovingly frowned. "Really? Did you have to give that to him, Vasily?"
"It's a family tradition, Cat." Vasily walked out beside his son and defended his position. "It's not my place to let that die with my dad, you know that."
"But it's a damned weapon loose in our home!"
Vasily closed the gap and sat in the love seat adjacent to Catherine's spot. "I went over the ground rules with him and it'll never be capable of firing while in the house."
"Yeah, mom. It's perfectly safe. Besides, you know I've been taught how to respect guns."
Dee tapped the device in his other paw against Iolvin's chest. "Here, make sure you put this in sooner than later. I'm helping Ashe with a bath."
Yoyo pulled Dee in for another, deeper kiss and took the charge off his paws. "You got it. Glad to see you're ~having fun~ with Ashe. Now go, I'll take care of things here."
"Good luck. Love you, Yoyo."
"Love ya' too, babe."
Dee walked over and lifted one of Ashe's paws with his own. "Ready for that bath? Water's ready."
"Oh, yeah. Gotta clean up, mom." Ashe sat up and then allowed herself to be pulled to her hindpaws. "Thanks for helping, Dee. Some things are just harder than others like this."
"You just called me 'Dee' for once. That stuff must be working better than we thought." Adrian tugged a bit to let the wolf know they were setting off and then carefully led the way to Iolvin's room. Once they were partway up the stairs he leaned in to whisper in secret. "You really don't mind me getting a good view of you down there? I'm gonna have to get an eyeful if I'm teaching you how to shave around it."
"Considering a part of you's still inside of me I don't think it bothers me too much." Ashe stopped at the landing and snapped her fingers a few times, only to give up on calling her puppy. "Aww, guess she's just tired out after today."
Dee looked down at the base of the stairway with a frown, spotting the puli curling up to rest by the bottom step. "She might be sick or something. Doesn't look like she's doing too well." He led the rest of the way to Yoyo's room and then shut the door so they could undress in peace. "Has India had any issues before? You ever take her to a vet or something?"
"Nah, never had to do that." Ashe diverted the topic and pulled her blouse over her head, purposefully appearing to get stuck inside it. "Can you help me get undressed?"
"Sure." Dee sighed at the obvious ditching effort Ashe was making. "Come on then. Here, give me your arm."
Dee's aid went a long way in helping to disrobe the Arctic wolf. Soon she was nude as the day she was born and Dee moved along to his own clothing. Ashe left him to his own devices and followed the wall toward the bathroom. "So the water's ready? Can I get in?"
"Sure, it's not too hot." Dee focused on removing his shirt and then suddenly bolted to the bathroom before Ashe could find the tub. "Hey, watch out. There's a razor on the edge, just to your right."
"Oh, thanks. Never a good idea to cut yourself." Ashe hunched over to glide a paw over the tub's lip, finding and avoiding the tool so she could clear the edge safely. She tested the water and instantly stepped into the basin, sliding herself down into the water with a smile. "Ooh, this feels great. I haven't had a hot bath in ages."
"To be honest, neither have I. And now that I think of it, that's pretty sad for an otter." Adrian dropped his skirt to the floor and kicked it onto Iolvin's bed. He stepped out his panties as he made his way to the tub, carefully stepping inside so he could sit on the edge. "Okay, ready to learn how to take care of yourself down there?"
"You mean ~without~ losing a pint of blood? Definitely."
Dee grinned at that statement, remembering the first time he'd tried to trim his own fur. "Well I'm not used to doing it blind yet, but I'm hoping we'll figure out a good compromise." He picked up the razor at his side and went for a bottle of shaving gel with his other paw. "Besides, anything I can do to further the cause is good."
Ashe sank down to her shoulders in the water. "Cause? What cause is that?"
"The promotion of more furs wanting to give head and enjoy it, of course. Heeee..." Dee found his bottle of lather and then tried to fit himself into the tub opposite Ashe, both of their legs getting into knots as he wedged into place. "Sorry it's a tight fit, but it's all we've got. Now Ashe, if I'm going to help I'll have to touch your naughty bits in the process. You okay with that too?"
"Well you've already done more than that, Dee. Besides, I wouldn't know where to groom if you didn't touch it." A paw waved up in front of Ashe's eyes to prove her point. "Just worry about teaching me how to... well I guess shave if you've got a razor."
"A thinning razor, to be exact. I'm pretty sure you'd like ~something~ down there instead of bare skin." Dee put his implements into one paw and used his free one to splay the fur on Ashe's leg. "You've got really delicate fur. I'm sort of jealous of that, actually. Oh, sorry. You mind?"
"Nope. You could feel me up if you wanted. When it comes to you and your brother, I don't mind you doing what you want. Just stop asking so much, haha."
"Oh... Good to know, I guess." Dee's paw roamed to a few more random spots about Ashe's body, eventually settling on her pubic mound. "Well you have a pretty consistent undercoat, even down here. Light gray or silver, if you ever wanted to know. Looks like your pubic fur thins out to white like your hair, so we'll use that as a basic limit. Trim down to the undercoat and no further and you'll probably do well, okay?"
Ashe slid a paw of her own to play with her pubic fur as well, a few grasps with her digits giving her a sense of where the undercoat ended. "That makes sense. So I need to chop away until I get this low?"
"Just about. Here, I'll show you how to go about doing that and I'll stop you when you get too far. With enough practice I'm sure you'll get a feel for how long to leave it."
"I'm a fast learner so I wouldn't worry too much about that if you're a good teacher." Ashe's paw dipped a tad lower to cover her orchid. "Just be careful, right?"
"Haven't cut that part of me yet and I don't intend to start with you." The razor made its way to Dee's other paw and then further down to the upper border of Ashe's fluffy bush. "Your fur might actually be fine enough to not need the lather. I think I just need it because mine's more or less waterproof. Give me a little room to test?" After her paw was away, Dee awkwardly positioned the razor so it faced the way Ashe would hold it. He took a careful stroke and almost went too far past her undercoat, but managed to recover well enough that the edge still blended with the surrounding fur length. "Yeah, I was right. Slices through like a hot knife through butter. Bit hard to do from this perspective though. Here, get a feel for that length. That's just where there's no white left."
"Oh, well that's a big difference. I think I've got the length down though." Ashe memorized the place where the fur reached on her finger as she pressed it into her skin, it being the same place she guessed from thickness alone earlier. Then she curled up her legs and carefully stood, spinning around to sit in Adrian's lap unexpectedly. "Here, this should be easier if you're used to doing it from this position. Can you see what you're doing over my shoulders?"
Dee swallowed hard as Ashe's back rested flush with his chest, the personal contact surprising him more than anything else. He leaned to the side and peered around the side of the girl's shoulder, her larger frame not permitting him to look over it. "Y-Yeah, I can see fine." The ability to look down and see a set of breasts and vagina from that perspective was oddly stimulating, especially since Dee and Ellie both grew up a bit gender-confused together. "Oh, uh... sorry. Just focus on the shaving."
"Sorry?" In a moment Ashe realized what Dee was getting at, his gender making itself known as his manhood extended to rub flush against her petals. "Oh, that? Nothing to be ashamed about. It's actually sort of a compliment that I can get someone into guys hard for me. Don't worry about it."
"Yeah, easier said than done. You're not waving your dick around while a blind girl's got a razor." Dee pulled Ashe's paw up and placed the mentioned tool in her paw with a sigh. "Sorry, that came out rough. I know you think before you act, hon."
"But there's reasons I never tried this before. It makes me nervous and having you here's honestly the best thing for that. I need to take my mind off what could go wrong and just go at it." Ashe lifted herself up slightly and adjusted Dee's length to press into her tunnel. "Speaking of... Mind if I put this little guy somewhere safe and warm?"
"If it'll help--" The otter moaned as Ashe dropped herself back down without wasting a second. "Ooh, even hotter than the water..."
"Mmm, definitely. But no fun and games until we're done, alright?" Ashe mercilessly held herself still and brought the thinning razor down near their juncture. "Tell me if I've gotten enough or not."
"Wait, hold it more like this first." Dee adjusted the wolf's wrist until she had a proper angle for the blade, going so far as to guide her through the first stroke. "See? An easy arc like that. Now you try that and I'll try not to buck my hips, silly."
Ashe did as she was instructed, gingerly at first but more and more confidently with every stroke. When she took off the final chunk of her bush she felt around and smiled to her side. "Well that feels ~much~ better. So what now? Did I miss anything?"
"Well this here's got a bit of white still. Aside from that though, it looks great." Adrian rubbed between the freshly trimmed area and the rest of her fur. "Now you need to feather it out so it's not as noticeable. Here..."
Ashe allowed her paw to be guided once again, this time her other being placed hear the blade to work as an angle guide. "I'm not going to cut my finger, am I?"
"Nope. See, the side of the razor's safe. Just be careful not to take your thumb off and you won't risk a cut. Now twist the blade downward over your thumb and you should get a clean edge."
Ashe hoped that Dee would show her the first pull again, but the otter apparently wanted to take the training wheels off and have her learn on her own mistakes. She slowly rolled the razor around her thumb and then lifted it up, feeling the difference. "Oh, you're right. It's hard to tell where the shorter stuff starts now." A large grin stretched over the girl's muzzle as she went to work on the rest of the border fur. "Gods, it feels good to know I can do this. No more being embarrassed when Elliot sees me naked."
"I can't believe you haven't learned to do this earlier. Oh, but I guess you were on the street before you even had anything to worry about down there, huh?" Dee glided a paw from the new short patch down her thigh. "Well it's up to you, but you can trim down your leg fur as well. Looks a lot cleaner in skirts and tights, and it feels great with someone else."
"But you don't do that, do you? Feels pretty long to me."
"I used to. Shaving down my overcoat really kills my waterproofing unless I'm extra careful." Dee ran a paw through his leg fur and sighed. "I tend to do it in the summer though, when the water's not cold. Might have to spend some time getting myself in shape."
"And what about Elliot? Does he shave a lot? I haven't had much time to feel him up as close as this."
"Well, sis is different. She likes thinning out all over, but leaving a hint of that top-coat. She even leaves her pubic fur that way. Takes a lot more effort and a few special razors, and I'm not sure where she gets the time for it." Once Ashe was finally done Adrian snatched the thinning razor and placed it in it's holster just outside the tub. "But I'm surprised Ellie isn't all over you. I've never seen her take such a liking to a girl before."
"He takes his time with me, doesn't push for it. It's actually really sweet." The Arctic wolf rocked her hips forward and back a few times and giggled. "I guess I'm just more needy in that area than he is. He lets me have my fun though."
"Yeah, so I've noticed." Dee lifted her up gently and then slowly bucked his hips upward, building a rhythm as best he could given the awkward position they occupied. "Well she's been more than generous letting us have our freedom. I'll probably never seek you out for it, but if you ever need some relief I'll certainly help. Not like it doesn't feel good at least."
"I'd say." The two suddenly craned their necks back toward the door as the new voice made itself known. Iolvin stepped into the bathroom and knelt down beside the tub. "Glad to see you two are finally getting along. So how many times does this make today?"
"Yoyo?! Damnit, I'm-- How--?"
"Dee, calm down. I'm not angry or anything." He leaned in and gave the fairer otter a kiss. "I could smell her all over your muzzle when we kissed. And to be honest, the first thing I thought was 'Thank the gods for that.' You were avoiding the poor girl even if you didn't realize it."
"So you knew and you let us just..." Dee looked down at Ashe's nude body and attempted to cover her delicates. "Can we talk later? Maybe give Ashe some privacy?"
Ashe wriggled free of Dee's embrace and sat down hard on his groin. "I think he deserves to watch. I am having sex with his boyfriend, after all. Though I guess..." She reached out to find Yoyo's chest, walking her paw down to his belt. "...maybe you could help out? I'm practicing how to shave and I'm out of practice fur."
"Shave?" Yoyo noticed the razor by his hindpaws and then took a quick peek at Ashe's groin under the water. "Well it looks like you've got it down already."
"He just doesn't want to shave down there. Afraid he'll look too much like a ~girl~, heeee." Adrian pulled Ashe's paw away and she responded by raising and dropping her hips with a displeased grunt. "Ooh! Sorry, just saying..."
"Well... do you want me to? I mean I like having something at least, but if you like it cleaner I'll try it, Dee."
"Uh... Well to be fair I ~have~ been avoiding going down on you because of that. I mean, it's doable with other furs; it's just too thick with another otter though..." Dee lifted Ashe up again and resumed pounding up into the girl, his breathing becoming a little bit erratic. "Maybe it'd be nice to actually match your twin sister for once? That's a fair trade-off, right?"
"You mean that little patch of hers?" Yoyo slipped a paw under his belt and pulled it forward to peek through, then started unfastening the buckle. "I could give that a try. Just be careful, Ashe."
"I'll do my best, Yoyo. Might need some help figuring out where to leave it though if you're talking about some kind of style." Ashe patted down the floor by the tub and found her razor, bracing the sides of the basin when she sat back upright. "I could use a steady seat, too..."
"Well give me a sec... Sorry, but I'm about done."
"Ellie lets you just finish inside? That's sorta hot." Yoyo slipped off his pants and briefs and then leaned forward to stop just shy of a kiss on Dee's lips. "Fill her up, babe."
Before Dee had a chance to say anything himself his lips were sealed with a passionate kiss from his mate. He immediately lost all self control as he leaned back into the kiss, adding his tongue for good measure. The addition of his lover into the mix rapidly sent the fair-furred otter past his holding point, surge after surge of neon green flooding Ashe's nethers until it began to leak out in floating tendrils in the warm water.
Dee broke his kiss for a gasp of air and held Ashe close to his chest. "S-Sorry I was so quick, A-Ashe..."
"Don't even start, Dee. It felt nice and that's all that matters. Still better than the way I was treated on the street." Ashe forced her weight on Dee's lap, keeping him steady as he spurted the last of his seed and his cock started retreating from her slick tunnel. "Now, I do believe I can get to work."
"Ooh... Wait, here." Dee gave the shaving lather over to Yoyo so he could apply it to his junk, the larger otter accepting the bottle after he finished removing his shirt. "Get some of that ready for her, would you? Ashe, you'll need to use lather if you're trimming our thick fur. Just put some more down if it runs thin, okay?"
"Uh, sure. Keep it sufficiently lubricated."
"Just watch out; I'm gonna sit on the edge here." Iolvin stepped over the lip of the tub and sat along the brim, his groin in easy reach of the wolf girl. "Give me a second to prep and then have at it. Just keep--what, an inch?--well keep a little tuft in the middle long."
"I'll guide her, hon. Don't worry, you'll have a little fireball like your sister in no time."
Ashe trailed her paw holding the razor up his thigh but waited until Yoyo's paws were out of the way to start working. "Fireball?"
"Oh, right. The twins have fire-red hair in places... and pubes seem to be one of them, heeee."
"Gods, most furs aren't proud of ginger fur Dee."
Adrian leaned back against the rear of the tub and relaxed, feeling the light grips and pulses around his soft manhood still tucked inside Ashe's petals. "Well I like it. I think redheads are sexy."
"So it's not too common I guess? Well whatever." Ashe carefully arced her wrist for a few gentle cuts before she noticed Yoyo's length engorging and blocking her intended workspace. "Hmm, am I doing it right? Do I need to go further?"
"Mmm, I'd say that monster there wants you to go further, heeee." Dee sat upright again and guided Ashe's fingertips. "Go about that much further. Our undercoat's shorter than most."
"Oh, okay. I can do that. And maybe this too." Ashe retraced her last few strokes to get them up to the new specifications, then bumped her snout playfully on the underside of Yoyo's cock. "You liked it the last time, that's for sure."
Yoyo looked over to Dee to spot his reaction, which happened to be more or less of excited approval. "Well as much as the two of you seem to want that, I think I'll pass, Ashe. I do sort of see you as a part of the family now."
"Aww, but you're helping me with this. I need to pay you back ~somehow~." Ashe went a step further and slid the tip into her muzzle, rolling and lapping her tongue along the underside of his manhood.
"But there's no need to repay me, Ashe. I'm your brother so I just help you out. That's just how it is." When she closed her lips around the tip and started properly sucking him off all while diligently trimming his fur without skipping a beat, Yoyo groaned and closed his eyes. "Shit, Lulu's gonna kill me for this."
"Ari? I know she's protective of her but wouldn't she want Ashe to life however she wants?" Adrian reached out and corrected Ashe's trimming so she would leave a cleaner tuft of red. "There. Now just feather it out and you can focus on his cock, hon."
"Hey, don't encourage her. I mean, it's unnerving how easily she can take all of that."
"Really? She took it all? Damn, girl." Dee brought his paw to rest on his man's slowly-inflating knot for lack of a better place. "You know, ever since the nanites you've started to get bigger down here. Looks like Ari's gotten even better treatment, too."
"Well she was always that big apparently. I just started catching up I guess." Yoyo prepared himself as Ashe finished her work and took the thinning razor from her. As soon as she was clear she pushed herself forward to bump her nose into his shaving-creamCoated tuft of fur. "Gods, knot and all..."
"Well she's got a long muzzle so that's not so hard. Still damn impressive though." Dee gawked as he put a paw lightly on Ashe's throat, feeling the quivering bulge of Yoyo's cock beneath it. "Sorry hon, but I don't think I can do that myself. Maybe I'll have to let Ashe go down on you when you're craving a good suck."
"You don't need to do that, babe. Not when you've got that tight ass of yours anyway."
Ashe pulled herself off Yoyo's length and took a moment to catch her breath. "Gah... Uh, maybe we can work out a family discount. You help drive me around town and I can suck you off on occasion or something."
"A discount, eh? Planning on selling yourself off like--" A sudden squealing yell as well as a thud stole Iolvin's attention from the conversation at paw. He quickly stood and reached for the nearest thing he could find to cover himself, a towel loosely wrapping around his waist. "Lulu!? Robyn!?"
"Shit, get out Ashe. We need to check on them."
Yoyo was one step ahead of them, unlocking and passing through the door to his sister's room. "Lulu, what happened?"
Ilaria and Robyn were giggling on the carpet near the far wall, Ari's prosthesis laying haphazardly in the corner. "Ah, sorry bro. We're fine. Just having some fun and I lost my leg."
"Speak for yourself, Ottah. You didn't fall flat on your bum from a meter up."
"So you're okay? Gods, I thought something bad happened. Well forget I was here and you two can be ~inappropriate~ together all you want."
"Seaking of..." Ari pointed to her twin's towel, which had unraveled and draped over his taut erection like a downed flag. "So when did you start shaving?"
"Yeah, looks cute like my Ottah's."
"Well, Dee was... uh..." Yoyo tried to hide the others but that only encouraged Ilaria to look around him all the more. "Dee thought it would look good?"
Ari rolled over from her squirrel and grabbed her leg, snapping and twisting the appendage back into place. "That's not just Dee in there. Don't lie to me, Yoyo." She stood up with a wobble and made her way to the bathroom, frowning when she spotted a towel-wrapped Ashe. "What did you do to her?"
"Nothing, honest! Dee was just teaching her to thin her fur and I happened to walk in." Ari nearly growled as she took the towel from Yoyo's cock and snapped it across his face. "Shit, no... She wanted more practice so she asked me to help. I swear that's all that was happening, Lulu."
Ari looked down at the girl's handiwork and noticed bits of shaving cream on both her brother's fur and the towel. "Okay, as long as that's all it was. Sorry lil' bro. I don't mind if her and Dee want to do whatever... But try to respect that she's our sister now, will you? And don't use her blindness as an excuse for going nude like that."
"I get it, sis. She just needed access if she wanted to shave me."
Ashe made her way over and hid behind Yoyo. "I really did ask him, sis. It's okay, and he was quite helpful."
Ari nodded but reached out and snagged the wolf girl by the arm. "Then if you're done you can stay here until they get done. I'm sure you don't want to be around when Yoyo decides to get rid of that boner of his anyway."
"Hey, I have more self control than that."
"Yeah, but you're not ~getting me~ here." Ari looked over her brother's shoulder and smiled to Dee. "~Now~ you have a chance to take care of that, right?"
Yoyo's manhood throbbed at the realization. "Oh, right. Hey Dee..." Yoyo spun around and went to his mate in the tub. "There room for two in there or is it a little too tight today?"
"I... think I could fit you in here. Sure."
As Ilaria watched her twin slide into the tub she shut the door with a smile. "There, now everyone's happy." A drip on her hindpaw caught her attention, then another made Ari reach between her new sister's thighs for a third drip. "You lying bas--" The glowing green tinge of the cum leaking out of Ashe forced Ari to rescind her accusation. "You and Dee are a thing? Is Ellie in the loop on this?"
Ashe nodded and shut her legs even though it visibly hurt her already delicate sense of balance. "I don't think I should talk about it much, but yeah he knows. We're fine, but thanks for the concern sis."
"Oh... Well if it makes you happy I don't mind. Just don't go letting furs force you into things again. You've put up with enough of that already." She spun her head back and spotted Robyn laying on the bed and sticking her feet through her panties to put them back on. "Sorry, Robyn. Think we could just call it a night? I'll make it up to you in the morning."
Robyn hopped into her hipsters and then slid up to the pillows with a devious grin. "You're my plaything for the day, Ottah. The morning shower, the water closet at work, that dark supply room, on your desk in front of Dee... You're mine how and when I want, got it?"
Ilaria helped wipe Ashe's crotch clean with her towel and then led her over to the bed. "I know how that feels so you've got a deal, Pillowtail. Think we can fit Ashe in bed for the night?"
"Oh, I'm fine. I'd rather the floor." Ashe found the side of the bed and then sat cross-legged next to it. "I'd like India to be here though. Can you call her up from the stairs?"
"She's not in Yoyo's room?" Ari grabbed the comforter and pulled it out from under Robyn. "Here, this should keep you warm. I'll go grab your puppy for you."
"And how are ~we~ supposed to stay toasty now, Ottah?"
"Oh, I can think of a way or two. I mean, I do have an incredibly hot squirrel under the sheets." Ari stepped out her room and went down the stairs to coax the puli into following her.
Robyn rolled over and whispered to Ashe. "Oi, you really comfortable down there, love?"
"Yeah, I'm used to sleeping on hard surfaces. That bed just hurts my back now." Ashe fell onto her back and spread the comforter out over her body. "Do I need to play dead while you guys go at it though? Sounds like you two are horny and ready to pounce each other."
"Well your big sister can all but break the bedframe if she wants, but I'll let you have your peace tonight. Thanks for leaving us the bed though. Just..." Robyn rolled onto her own back and started wriggling out of her skirt. "If we do somehow start getting randy feel free to stop us. I'm going through a bout of heat at the moment."
"Really? Well maybe I'll just take notes for Ellie instead, haha."
That skirt and then a halter top soon came over the edge to flop over Ashe's face. "If Ari didn't think you a bloody child I'd invite you to join us instead."
Ashe giggled as she tossed the clothes to the side. "Well I appreciate it, but you two have whatever fun you like first and don't worry about me. After all you've done for me the least I can do is 'ignore' a bit of bump and grind for a night."
"Sexiest thing I've heard in a while, Ashe." Robyn rolled over and reached down to skritch between Ashe's ears. "Thanks. Slate down each and every peak we reach. I'll owe you that many personally if I ever get the chance. Cheery?"
"Hehe... 'Cheery', yeah."
