Steve and Kaya.

Kaya grabbed Steve’s hand and started to guide him further into the backyard. “Come on, and I will introduce you to some people. Don’t worry, Jan will be fine with Koax and Tytha.”

Steve gave Jan a quick kiss goodbye before he was pulled away. Kaya ushered him through a few groups of people before stopping in front of a man and woman who looked mostly human. The man had a set of antlers atop his head which reached taller than the ceiling inside. The women had a small set with only one branch. They were both wearing, what Steve assumed, was traditional garb. It looked like fine grain leather. Hers draped down the centre of her body, leaving the outside edges of her bust exposed and tied at the waist. His was off the shoulder. Both appeared to have elaborate tattoos covering their bodies. Their faces were almost human, a slightly upturned nose, with two tones of skin, dark chocolate and a creamy tone. “Deer folk,” Steve said.

The man nodded, “You know our kind?”

Steve nodded, “Recently a Deer folk joined my company, her name is Amat.”

The man looked to the woman, who shook her head, “I do not know an Amat, but am glad to hear that there is some acceptance of our kind. I am Kylar, this is my partner Yarrow.”

Steve held out his hand, “I am Steve, my fiancé Jan is just over there,” he gestured towards her. “And I take it you know my girlfriend, Kaya.”

Yarrow nodded, “We have known Gen and Kay since they were foals, Kaya we have known her whole life.”

Steve blinked, “Wait, sorry, but you don’t look that old.”

Kylar smiled, “We are, in fact, more than twice the age of Gen and Kay. Our kind ages slowly.”

Kaya smiled, “Kylar and Yarrow are very nice and taught me a lot of what I know,” she said knowingly. Steve cleared his throat and blushed, “Yep,” Kaya said.

“Well, it’s a pleasure to meet you,” Steve said.

Before he could say another word, Kaya said, “I’ll be back in a moment,” before walking away.

Steve watched where she trotted, momentarily checking out her arse, and spotted a large bird and a human through the doorways into the living area. He guessed that was Lin and Kaya’s target.

“We were somewhat surprised when Kay and Gen said humans would be attending the party,” Yarrow said. “Kylar and I have gone out a few times trying to find connections, and so far, we have had little opportunity. And to hear that you are dating Kay’s daughter, we did not think human relationships allowed for such things?”

Steve laughed, “Well, there is nothing against such things, but it is not normal in our culture.” Steve was feeling a little lost, surrounded by so many Mythfolk, some clothed, others not so much. He picked up a nearby cup and poured himself a glass of wine.

“Well,” Kylar stepped a little closer, “I think it is a little early to be starting the festivities. But, if you are interested, let me know.” As she walked past him, the side of her breast rubbed his arm.

Yarrow smiled, “When you get to our age if you see something you like, you go for it. Speaking of which, I might like to meet Jan at some point, if you don’t mind.” His voice was smooth and dripping with lust.

Steve laughed, “I can introduce you if you like?” he said.

Yarrow shook his head, “It appears Kylar is already on her way there, so I might catch up, and you can wait here for Kaya.”

Steve watched as the Deer folk approached his fiancé and then suddenly jumped as a hand reached around him from behind to grab his shaft in his boxers.
