#26 of The Mating Season: A Life of Dreams
Chapter 26
Kira looked up when Lea, Theo, and Roan crowded the doorway. Lynny had just laid Loryn to rest on the bed. They were in the guestroom she and Loryn shared in Zaldon's home, and down on the first floor, Kira could hear the others returning from the wedding. Mora and Nyssa's voices rose downstairs as soon as Zane entered. Zane said something, Ohana said something, then Mora began to yell at Zane while Nyssa cried fiercely. Mio and Zee began to scream. Idella's voice said something sharp, and Mora's voice went from yelling to angry hissing.
Lynny looked anxious to be getting downstairs to his arguing family. Kira knew he would have a talk with Zane, not just about his wives but also about his horrendous toast and the fact that Zane had witnessed something he should not have.
Kira knew that Loryn had been with Aliona recently. She also knew Aliona had been with Idella and Lynny - because Loryn told her. She thought it was stupid and reckless of the lot of them. They should not have been fooling around with Zane and his wives just down the hall! Loryn had promised not to take such a risk again - and then had promptly spent the rest of the week getting drunk and high instead.
Lynny blocked the door as he cautioned everyone to calm down, and Kira couldn't see her family beyond his big body as they asked after Loryn.
"But is Grandpa alright?" Roan's voice demanded.
"Daddy!" Lea called.
Kira rose from her chair beside the bed, glancing once at Loryn's prone body as she went to the door. She placed a small paw on Lynny's back and he stepped aside, revealing her daughter, her grandson, and his new husband. Everyone looked anxious. Kira was shocked to see Lea in tears.
"Mom!" Lea said at once. "How's Daddy!" Her black shawl was crooked and her mane mussed and tumbling from its bun after having run up the stairs. Beside her, Roan was also on the verge of tears. Kira smiled: god, they were just alike.
"Everything is fine, honey," Kira said, cupping Lea's face. "Your father passed out, that's all. He's sleeping now. You should go on to bed. It's getting late and we're all tired - and Roan? Don't you have a wedding night to be enjoying?" Kira teased.
Roan smiled shyly at her teasing. "Alright, Grandmother. As long as Granddad's alright . . ." He glanced at his mother, and frowning to see her in tears, he kissed her cheek hard. "Don't cry, Mom."
Lea's lashes fluttered as she laughed. She touched Roan's shoulder affectionately. "Your grandmother's right: you two should be enjoying your wedding night! Go on home - and try not to get in any fights along the way!" she scolded. "One injured arm is enough!"
Theo laughed. "Alright. Goodnight . . . Mother," he said and kissed Lea on the cheek.
Lea looked very pleased to have Theo call her mother. She playfully pinched his cheek and he laughed again. The boys departed down the stairs and Lea went up the hall to her own guestroom.
Lynny bid Kira goodnight, then quickly hurried down the stairs as Mora and Ohana both began to scream at Zane.
With a heavy sigh, Kira settled into the chair beside the bed once more. Her magnificent white mane had long ago tumbled free of its bun, and now the silky tresses spilled in her tired eyes. She pulled a bottle from the bedside table, uncorked it with her teeth, and took a long drink. It was something Loryn had confiscated from Zaldon's pantry earlier that week. She and Loryn had been drinking it every night together. Everyone thought Loryn's drug problems were his problems and his alone. No one seemed to realize he and Kira were doing the drugs . . . together.
It started after they lost their second pup. Loryn had wanted a son so badly. And Kira would have done anything, anything to see him happy. Little Lea also seemed very lonely. They thought she could use a sibling. So they tried. And they tried. Finally, Kira knew she was pregnant when she kept throwing up . . . and her breasts hurt when Loryn sucked them.
It wasn't to be, however. Before she even began to show, Kira lost the pup. They were too frightened to try again, so they stopped. Loryn confessed that the sight of Kira with blood on her thighs was something that haunted him even now. He never wanted to see that again.
So Loryn contented himself with finding sons wherever he could: in Kilyan, in Keeno, and much later in Zane, Roan, and Theo.
In reality, however, Loryn was not content. Neither of them were. They took to drinking. And, oh, such drunken sex they had. They would chew herbs as well - some were aphrodisiacs, some just got them high. And rather than face it, they numbed the pain. And no one ever knew. No one was the wiser.
No one except Lynny and Idella. They had lost a pup too, had also wanted a son. Kira and Idella fell to talking during one of the family gatherings, and it became apparent that the couples had a great deal in common. Kira was soon to realize that Lynny was someone who could understand Loryn, perhaps help him. And that was when she started to turn to Lynny for help.
Looking at Loryn now, however, Kira knew he was not taking herbs because of a lost son. Loryn was distraught because of a lost lover. She had seen this before. She had seen it when Loryn lost Eno . . . when Loryn killed Eno.
"Mm . . ." Loryn's black eyes slowly opened. His head rocked on the pillow, across which his gray mane lay scattered. The black stripes on his face twisted when he frowned and touched a ginger paw to his head. "Ow . . ."
"Yes, ow," Kira teased lightly. "Hurts, doesn't it?" She smiled and took a drink, watching as her husband's bleary eyes slowly found her.
". . . Kira?"
"Kira," she confirmed.
"I must've passed out . . . honey lamb, I'm sorry . . ." He looked at her miserably. "Didn't ruin the wedding, did I? How's Roan?"
"Roan is just fine," Kira assured him. Her voice took on a scolding tone, "He tramped all the way here to cheek on you - instead of enjoying his wedding night!"
Loryn winced miserably. "I'll have to tell the kid I'm sorry . . ."
"Yes, you will. But don't worry: Roan and Zane got in a fight, so everyone was too busy scurrying to notice you with your face in your plate. Tch."
"Aww . . . Kira honey . . . don't make that noise."
"Ha! Don't you 'Kira honey' me! Lea told me she got rid of your little drug bag, so how did this happen?" She gestured an angry paw at Loryn's prone body.
"I climbed the garden wall," he admitted sheepishly, "and crawled through the grass until I found the bag . . ."
Kira laughed in spite of herself. "You are hopeless! You know you could have killed yourself?" She frowned sadly, and setting the bottle on the bedside table, she crawled into bed with her husband. Loryn put his arm around her and kissed her head. She smiled. She had always felt so small and safe in her husband's big arms. He once confessed that after they met in the grazing fields, he had started working out harder, building up the muscles in his arms to impress her.
"Why are you doing this?" Kira whispered sadly. "I thought you were happy, that everything was great. Our grandson just got married! And we've got little LiAnh. Maybe Lea will have another . . ."
Loryn snorted. "Kilyan will cut off his dick first."
"Why," Kira repeated. She smoothed her paw over Loryn's chest and looked up at him sadly. "It's Kel, isn't it?"
Loryn sighed heavily. "It's Kel," he admitted.
"What is it now? I haven't seen the two of you arguing. That night you came to bed drunk, Kel did something with Lynny . . . is that it?"
Loryn laughed sadly. "No, babe," he whispered, rubbing the deep line of Kira's narrow back. He undid her shawl and pushed it up a little, looking with absent longing at the under curve of her milky white tits. The shawl still covered her pink nipples and shoulders as she cuddled against him, rubbing his chest.
"Did you and Kel randomly brawl then?" she said, amused.
"No . . . we haven't really spoken much, to be honest. Maybe if we had, I wouldn't have done . . . this." He glanced at Kira miserably. "I think Zaldon is going to ask Kel to marry him."
Kira grinned. "But that's wonderful!"
Loryn looked away. "Not wonderful for me. He'll leave the summer village."
Kira made an irritable noise. "Loryn! For shame! You're the one who strived to get them together. Now they can be together, and you're pouting! How anyone can be so selfish - and continuously! - is beyond me!"
"Don't say it," Loryn said miserably. "Don't compare this to Eno . . ."
"I wasn't going to," Kira said softly.
Loryn kissed her slowly on the lips and whispered against them, "Thank you." He looked away again. "Still . . . I wish I could go back . . . undo my heart and start again. I wish I could make myself fall out of love with Kel. It was because of Kel that Eno happened in the first place."
Kira watched Loryn sadly. It was something Loryn had told her before. Years ago, when Lea had only just married Kilyan, Loryn confessed that he had indulged himself with Eno because he couldn't have Kel. All the times he held Eno, he was pretending that he had finally gotten Kel's love. It was something he didn't realize until everything was over . . . and that gaping hole was back in his heart.
"You don't need to go back in time," Kira whispered. "It isn't a terrible thing that you love Kel, Loryn. Eno was the worst mistake of your life. Kel is not a mistake."
"So . . . if Kel loved me back . . . you would . . .?"
"Do what he's doing with Zaldon?" Kira shrugged and smiled. "You already know the answer to that, Loryn. Didn't we sleep with Aliona just last year?"
Loryn laughed. "Oh yeah." He looked at Kira fondly. "I love you, babe. Thanks for always understanding."
Kira touched his face and her eyes softened. "No one understands you better than Mama, honey."
Loryn grinned, shaking Kira playfully in his arm until she laughed. That girlish laugh.
"But you can't do those herbs anymore," Kira whispered after a pause. "You're taking too much, and you're scaring your family!"
"I know . . . I'm sorry . . ."
"If Kel is going to leave, deal with it, Loryn. You will stop abusing these herbs and you will straighten up -- or by god! You have support. I'm here, I love you. You aren't alone!"
"Kira," he whispered fondly. He touched her face. "I don't deserve you . . ."
"No," she said at once, "you don't!"
Loryn laughed. "But I got you, don't I!" he said fumbling with her shawl.
Kira giggled as he pealed it off. It tumbled away, and his hungry eyes traced over her naked tits and their hard pink nipples. He touched the back of his paw to her cheek and pushed her mane back from her face.
Kira smiled and put her arms above her head, pulling her big tits up higher. Loryn moaned at the sight. He smoothed his paw along her white curves to her thighs and sank his fingers between. He was surprised to find her already wet - and her pussy lips swollen. He brought his fingers to his nose and sniffed.
". . . why are you wet, Kira?"
"Aliona was drunk . . . she fingered me under the table when no one was looking . . ."
Loryn laughed and licked his fingers clean. "How was it?"
"Aliona always knew how to finger a girl . . . how was it for you?"
"You mean when I ate her out the other day?" Loryn smiled his handsome smile. "Aliona eats a lot of sweet fruit . . . nuff said."
Kira laughed. She spread her thighs and her pink pussy was splayed. The heat of it hit Loryn's face as he knelt between her legs. He looked at her pussy hungrily, then looked up at her. He could see her small, pretty face blushing with anticipation between the full mounds of her large breasts. Her pink nipples were hard and tiny, pointing to the ceiling as she squirmed with her white mane falling in lusty eyes.
"Kira . . . my cock is _dripping_looking at you . . ." Loryn kissed her thigh, still looking at her with burning black eyes. "Your leg is going on my shoulder tonight . . ."
"Eat my pussy, Loryn . . ."
"Mm . . . beg me. . . ." He kissed her thighs slowly, carefully. He slipped a finger in the tight pink knot of her anus and curled it. She blushed harder at once.
"Please . . . Daddy, lick my pussy . . ." She looked at him with suffering eyes: her pussy was throbbing and seeping.
"Alright, Mama," Loryn whispered. He bowed his head and slowly ate her out, the scent and heat of her making his hard cock drip and throb. He knew just how Kira liked it: with slow, taunting flicks of the tongue, kisses, sucks on her clit.
As Loryn's head moved slowly between Kira's thighs, his paws reached up for her big breasts and slowly massaged. He flexed his fingers against the soft mounds, and when he began tweaking her nipples, her shrill cries rose to the ceiling. She was folded up in his arms and her feet were in the air - for Loryn had pressed her knees toward her shoulders, so that pussy and anus were laid bare.
Loryn's careful tongue worked Kira until her fluids gushed against his face. She lay under him, breathless and happy, as he crawled on top. He set one of her legs on his shoulder, then carefully sank his cock in. They rocked.
Kira's mane tumbled in her face as she clutched blindly at Loryn's muscular back. "Oh . . . oh, Loryn - fuck me!" she whispered, her big breasts riding with every thrust. "Harder! Harder!"
Loryn obliged until the bed was shaking. Kira's foot rocked against the air behind Loryn's head. He leaned down and caught one of her flapping tits in his mouth.
"Mm . . . mmm . . ."
"Oh, fuck me! Deeper! Loryn - deeper!"
Lea's voice made them both freeze. ". . . thought I'd come back to make sure - Ah!"
Loryn glanced up, Kira's tit in his mouth and her leg on his shoulder. Kira lifted her head, her mouth open and her mane in her face. Lea was standing in the doorway with LiAnh on her hip, looking mortified. She slapped a paw over LiAnh's eyes and backed away - then hurried from the room, shutting the door behind her.
Loryn and Kira looked at each other and laughed.
"Just like old times," chuckled Loryn, thrusting again. He kissed Kira's blushing cheek and she giggled. "Just like old times!"
