Doe is even more stubborn than you thought possible

Over the next few months you get used to life with a pair of wives. You're ostracized a little, by noblewomen who consider your wedding either backwards or a sham, by noblemen who are either disgusted or envious and by lots of priests and commoners too. Still, you don't care and there's really nothing they can do about it. Attacking a mage in his tower? Even the king would think twice. Not that you have to worry about the king, he secretly finds your marriage arrangements very amusing. He's also constantly being impressed by the centaurs you created, so you will remain in his good graces for a long time to come.

Much as people dislike you personally they generally don't pick on Doe or Linne, which is fortunate. With how nice Linne is to everyone it's hard for people to hate her, even if she looks different. You're not sure whether it would be you or Doe who'd react first if someone did make her cry, but in either case the result would be violent.

To fulfil your promises to various nobles and other influential people you've ended up creating several more cataurs, they're easily the second most popular 'taurs after centaurs, as well as two dogtaurs and five foxtaurs. Now that people have seen foxtaurs you think they will give cataurs a run for their money. There are a lot of young nobles licking their lips at the sight of them. It's funny how hip sway, even if it's a number of feet from where it's supposed to be on a human woman, is enough to get their attention. It can't be the fur - too many of the 'taurs cover that up and still get attention.

As far as your own situation you figured that if Doe was going to carry your children she would end up staying home. You thought riding Linne might be possible, if not you had expected the need for either a horse or centaur while you waited for Doe to be capable of carrying you once more. But your lamia told you she was going to be your mount until she couldn't be anymore. Figuring out how to make a comfortable saddle, even for a pregnant lamia, is easy when the mount can complain and tell the saddle makers exactly what's not working. But... it's been four months. Doe insisted on going on every exercise with the centaurs. The chance to spend time with a number of her old troops definitely improves Doe's mood. She insisted you would ride her. And at every turn she's insisted that she's fine, she doesn't feel tired, the baby isn't making anything difficult, etc.

Yes, there's a notable roundness to her belly, but Doe acts like there's nothing there. Any word of argument is met with a dangerous stare. There are even two centauresses who are up the spout. They've been allowed to take it easy. Your wife is willing to talk to them, encourage them, even hug them in congratulation. But whatever happens with them is not related to her. She's absolutely fine and nothing at all is difficult.

All of this throws Linne for a loop. Whenever you and Doe come home you find Linne has cleaned the whole house - something she seems to do when worried. Then she'll try to get Doe bundled up in blankets next to a pleasant fire and feed her stew, soup and other healthy foods to help with the baby. Doe usually grabs her and draws her into a big hug. Her favorite complaint, which she usually delivers while rubbing Linne's ears, is that she thought she was getting married, not getting a second mother.

Linne's really the only one apart from you who can curl up with Doe and touch her stomach for a long while. When she finally soothes your lamia and holds her close Doe will let down a few barriers and allow Linne to take care of her. That usually involves some compliments, some belly rubs and kisses. At last Doe will show she's had enough by curling her tail around Linne and holding her in place so Doe can braid Linne's hair. Combined with the warmth of being encircled by a lamia that's something that tends to put Linne to sleep.

It's quite different when Doe decides she wants some of your attention. She's not subtle or shy, she slithers over and lies on top of you as a simple way to get your attention. It's only once you get her warmed up that she starts allowing you to set the pace.

Perhaps the best reason for why your strange three way relationship works is this - when Doe notices Linne's in a needy mood she grabs you and gets you to please her wife. If you're not in the mood yet then a ton or more of lamia will put you in the mood in short order. She's a hard woman to refuse, especially when she turns those eyes on you. And though Doe you cut your dick off if you ever told anyone, she's actually not opposed to giving you blowjobs. She rarely does this for herself, but if Linne's looking horny then Doe will suck your shaft right down her throat. Doe, or perhaps all lamia in general, have no gag reflex.

The same is true in the other direction too, with Linne always coming to get you to take care of Doe. That's very handy, as you find it much harder to tell when Doe is actually in the mood. Linne can always tell somehow and she frets about it. Then, if you don't notice that, she comes and gets you. The sexy cataur usually starts with hand wringing and sometimes goes as far as begging if you don't respond quickly enough. Not that you don't want to help - she's asking you to have sex, after all.

The best nights are when both of them are convinced the other needs it more. Then you're presented with the delicious sight of two girls arguing for why they should wait it out, why their best friend and wife should have you first.
