Ties of The Heart

Merida woke up to Flora rubbing her face against her own neck. Merida scratched behind Flora’s ears. “Hey there, bonnie. Time tae get up.”

“Nuh uh.” Flora said, cuddling Merida tighter. “There is absolutely no need to leave the room today. I have everything to have a fun time right here.” Flora hadn’t opened her eyes but flicked one of Merida’s nipples teasingly.

“Flora, come on. I’m happy tae go anither couple roonds wi’ ye afore we get up and shower. I dinnae just want tae lounge in bed all day.”

Flora didn’t wait for more of an invitation but crawled under the covers to pleasure Merida. Flora extended her very long tongue, courtesy of the Gummy Tongues, deep into Merida. After a few moments Merida grabbed Flora’s Tail and pulled her down so she could reciprocate.

Flora let out a squeak as Merida handled her tail and retracted her tongue to say, “Oh that feels really good. Please touch my tail some more.” Then Flora resumed tasting Merida’s insides.

The two kept at this for quite some time like two horny teenagers learning how good sex really was for the first time. Then a knock came at the door, which they didn’t hear. They kept going, lost in pleasure. Another knock and a muffled voice. Merida caused Flora to roar as she climaxed for the third time this morning, just as a third knock at the door started and stopped part way through knocking. “Merida sounds like someone is at the door, maybe we should go get it.”

“Alright, I think my tongue was gettin' tired anyway.” Merida got up to get changed, shouting “Just a second let us get dressed.” Merida went over to her wardrobe and when she opened it she immediately noticed a new pair of clothes appeared on herself. She was wearing a matching furkini, a fur collar and fox-mittens similar to Flora’s attire. She saw that there was a set of fox ears and a tail in the wardrobe, with a note attached ‘for while you need them.’ Merida tried to take it off but realized she couldn’t, unless she was doing something that required her to take them off and even then it would be for a limited duration. “Weel, guess Mark gave me an outfit for the day. He made it so I would match ye, I guess.”

“Well, I’m not complaining.” Flora gave her a smirk eyeing Merida up and down.

Flora went to open the door and found Laura. “Oh hi Laura. What’s up?”

“Sorry to disturb you, I didn’t realize… wait Merida is here? I’m confused. I am pretty sure I just heard a roar of pleasure from Flora.”

Flora’s eyes went wide. “Laura you don’t feel an overwhelming urge to have sex do you?”

“Umm… that’s rather a personal question Flora.”

“No, my Hear Me Roar got upgraded. I’ll go into heat sometimes, and I can cause that heat in others through my roar. I wanted to know if I needed to be in heat or not for it to spread.”

“I don’t feel like I need sex more than normal. Though I was rather aroused by your sounds.”

“So inconclusive.”

“Okay but, were you and Merida well… having sex? I thought she was straight.”

“Well now my girlfriend is straight plus Florasexual. Also Marysexual but that is Mary cheating since all women are at least Marysexual.”

Merida came over to the door. Laura asked her, “How did that happen? As far as I was aware while you were thinking about becoming bisexual you hadn’t and jumping straight to being girlfriends with Flora seems like a lot. You two definitely weren’t like this yesterday at breakfast.” Laura was staring at Merida’s hand which Flora had pulled around herself and placed upon her breast over the furkini she was wearing.

Merida just shrugged.“I went on a date wi’ Flora yesterday, while wearin’ yin o’ the bisexual collars. We hit things off, so I made my attraction tae Flora real wi’ my boon. I also strengthened and created a few other links between mysel’ and Flora. All wi’ her consent, o’ course.”

Laura frowned, “It doesn’t bother you to use magic to build your relationship together?”

The two looked at each other and then in unison shook their heads. Merida explained further, “I dinnae see a reason nae tae go after whit I want. I’m no’ goin’ tae simply use my boon tae make her my pet. I want a partner. It’s why I followed Flora’s request that for every connection frae her tae me that I made or strengthened, I did yin in the other direction.”

Laura pursed her lips and then shrugged. “Not my call if you both are actually consenting. That boon is actually why I’m here. I know you both know what Chloe is forcing me to do.” Merida held up a hand to stop Laura.

“I dinnae think there is a connection that I still hae available this roond that could help resolve this, plus I wouldnae dae it withoot Aubrey’s expressed consent either.”

“That’s fine, I don't want that aspect. My understanding is you get a sense of the feelings from the threads.”

“That’s richt.” Merida nodded in confirmation. “But only positive emotions.”

“I’d like you to examine the bonds between Aubrey and Talia, as well as Aubrey and Chloe. Specifically if you can locate the bond between them caused by her breastfeeding them. Maybe also watch as she breastfeeds Chloe to see how the bond changes. I want to know if I can trust Talia’s view about what Aubrey did to her or not.”

“That I’d be willin’ tae dae.” Merida got out her phone and sent out a quick message to the relevant parties. “Let’s head over tae Aubrey’s and Chloe’s room.”

As the three walked over to the room Laura asked, “So what’s up with the matching furkinis and paws?”

“It’s Mark’s doin’.” Merida said, “I bought a pair o’ upgrades yesterday. My Dress Me Up Darling was the other yin tae be upgraded. I noo want tae model stuff for Mark mair. Apparently tae the point that he can pick three outfits per roond for me. If he sees me in it and likes the look though I get tae keep the outfit permanently. Which should help wi’ whit I like in my auld wardrobe bein’ drastically diminished. Flora shared all my posin’ TFs yesterday for a bit, and Mark took the opportunity tae put her in that outfit too. We hae tae wear them for a day.”

Laura could hear a low sound coming from both Merida and Flora. Flora was clearly purring, while it sounded like some sort of rumble coming from Merida. Flora rubbed her face against Merida again and said, “Well I like it. Merida looks sexy as a vixen.”

The three arrived at the boudoir and knocked on the door. Just as Aubrey opened the door Talia appeared behind the three, startling them, as Talia said, “Why do you all look like you’ve seen a ghost?”

Aubrey answered, “Because you appeared out of nowhere Talia. Literally nowhere. You weren’t here and then you were like a second after I opened the door.”

Talia squinted her eyes and considered Aubrey’s words. “That makes sense. Convenient timing is apparently a thing in anime. I didn’t need to be here until everyone else was here so I showed up right when I was needed. I think Mark has given up on questioning when something odd happens because of my Anime Physics. Anyway, Merida, why did you want to meet?”

“It’s per Laura’s request tae deal wi’ whit Chloe is forcin’ her tae dae.”

Aubrey frowned at that, and looked to Laura. “What does Merida mean Chloe is forcing you to do something?”

Laura answered through gritted teeth, “Chloe called in a favor with Cassandra to call in my favor to Cassandra. I have to figure out how to make up with you Aubrey, by the end of the round or not only will I get a temporary punishment TF I’ll be compelled to make up with you anyway.”

“CHLOE! What the hell!” Aubrey turned on her heels and stared down angrily at her girlfriend. “Laura is our friend. I fucked up, and did something I shouldn’t have and hurt her. I was thinking of ways to make amends. This shouldn’t be on Laura but me. What were you thinking?”

As Chloe was stammering while lying on the bed Merida cut in. “Aubrey! Stop that. She was askin’ Cassandra some questions, while it was her idea ye should hae seen how pissed Cassandra was. I told Chloe that she needed tae ask for that favour because otherwise Laura would be doin’ whatever Cassandra wanted richt noo. Except that her favour wouldnae hae been as well thought oot, because she was clearly savin’ it for somethin’ specific, and was waitin’ for the richt time tae call it in. Lay off Chloe, or I’ll figure oot a way tae make ye lay off her. If ye want tae blame someone, blame me.” Aubrey glared at Merida, no one said anything, so Merida continued. “Noo we’ve come here because Laura wanted my help tae figure oot how badly Talia is affected by Aubrey’s breastmilk.” Merida looked at Aubrey and looked at the threads between Aubrey and Talia.

Talia spoke up, “Laura while I’m mildly upset with Aubrey about getting me to drink it while rather dumb I remember my actions and would have done the same.”

Laura looked at Talia sympathetically. “Talia, the problem is I don’t know if that is true. I know you talked about it but talking about something and doing it when offered the opportunity are different. I also can’t trust your opinion about this since it could be influenced by the bond Aubrey made.” Talia opened her mouth to retort but Laura continued. “Talia, I sincerely hope you aren’t about to argue that it’s okay because you fantasized about it happening anyway.”

Talia snapped her mouth closed and then mumbled “Mark said something similar last night.”

“Yeah because he isn’t an idiot.”

Chloe, still lying on the bed, still bound from the night before, hesitantly interrupted, “So, how are we supposed to determine how much Talia has been affected?”

Laura began “Well… Mary suggested this morning that Merida looks at the threads between Chloe and Aubrey while Chloe is drinking from Aubrey. That way Merida could find the correct thread and then look at the threads between Aubrey and Talia.”

Merida headed off the question forming on Chloe’s lips. “My boon received an upgrade. I can see maist positive emotions noo.”

Chloe responded, “Alright Aubrey get over here we’re doing this.”

Aubrey was about to object to putting on a show but found herself moving over to Chloe. “What the heck? I can’t control myself.”

Chloe looked concerned, “What are you talking about? Aubrey, stop taking off your dress for a second.”

Aubrey stopped and said, “I don’t know why but as soon as you said we were doing this I felt like I had to come over and let you drink from me.”

Chloe realized, “Oh, that’s because of your promise to me. Don’t tell me, did you forget after not even one day?”

“I oh… so like… I didn’t mean literally wherever, Chloe.”

“Well that isn’t a promise I’m releasing you from Aubrey, at least not yet. I will ask everyone but Merida to leave though.”

Laura looked at Chloe, “What promise?”

“Aubrey promised to let me suckle her teat as often as I want in exchange for something. Something I wasn’t overly thrilled about but did consent to in exchange for this privilege. Apparently ‘as often as I want’ is rather literal.”

“You should release her from that Chloe.” Laura said.

“Laura you are my friend but just because you are Mark’s favorite doesn’t make you in charge of the Harem. I get why you say that, but you weren’t simply willing to give me the bunnies back, because I needed them. I’m not saying you were wrong to request something in exchange, just realize you are essentially telling me to return the bunnies to Aubrey for nothing.”

“That’s different and you know it.”

“Is it?” Chloe said skeptically. “Were you going to use at least one this round if I refused to barter with you?”

“Probably not.”

“So, I had essentially **** but to agree to your terms or likely become a cock addict. You also don’t know what I let Aubrey do in exchange. This is between me and Aubrey so please butt out.”

“She’s right Laura. I don’t mind it anyway. I was just startled when my body started to move without me wanting to move. I would prefer not to have an audience for this though.”

Merida said, “Talia should stay too. We can blindfold her or somethin’ if it is a problem but it will be easier tae find the associated thread if I can look at both sets at the same time.”

Aubrey said, “Please blindfold her.”

Talia protested, “Don’t I get a say in all this? Who says I want my emotions examined like this? You didn’t tell me why you wanted me here, just that it was to help resolve things between Laura and Aubrey.”

Laura bent over and placed a hand on Talia’s cheek, “Talia please.”

Talia pursed her lips. “Merida I have your word that you won’t discuss anything you see except what you are confident is the bond made by Aubrey’s TF?”

“Aye, sure. I promise. Talia, I dinnae actually want tae look at the threads o’ others regularly. It feels like an invasion o’ privacy. Also tae yer earlier question, aye, ye dae get a say. I’ll tell Laura tae shove it, if ye dinnae want me lookin’ at the threads between ye and Aubrey.”

“Thank you Merida. I want to make clear I’m not happy about this Laura, but intellectually I understand your concern. Fine, get me a blindfold.”

Flora and Laura stepped outside while Merida blindfolded Talia. Aubrey lowered the top of her dress, and moved to begin breastfeeding Chloe when Merida spoke up. “Wait, Aubrey.” Merida was contemplative for a moment. “Okay, ye need yer abdomens as far apart as ye can manage. Aye, I realise that will be tricky.” Merida moved over to Aubrey and made a circular gesture at Aubrey’s abdomen. “Specifically here and the same spot on Chloe. My recommendation is ye place yersel’ in a sixty-nine position and then scoot back until she can suck on yer breasts.” Aubrey repositioned Chloe with Merida’s help and then Aubrey took her own position and Chloe started to drink. Merida immediately noticed an effect. “Alright, stop for a second. Okay, can ye try again?” There it was again. “Stop… okay, one mair time noo.” Weel, shite. “Ye twa can stop noo, I got the info I needed.”

Aubrey looked down at Chloe. “Chloe are you done?”

“For now sure.” Aubrey pulled up her dress and undid the blindfold on Talia while Merida went to let the others into the room.

Once everyone was inside and took a seat Merida spoke up, “So, I hae guid news and bad news. The guid news is I ken how Aubrey’s milk works, the bad news is I hae nae clue how it has affected Talia.” Merida held up a hand to forestall questions. “Aubrey’s milk develops an emotional bond just like her TF says. I had Aubrey stop and restart breastfeedin’ Chloe. It was really obvious which thread was bein’ affected. I could see milk on the thread between the twa o’ them. Each time they stopped and restarted which thread became milky changed. But the threads absorbed the milk and became thicker. I can still tell richt noo which threads were affected as they look moist but all o’ Talia’s appear dry. I dinnae ken if it can create wholly new bonds or no’. Laura, I will say this. The size increase in the threads is tiny. The feelin’ I get frae them seems normal too. Personally, I think ye can trust whatever Talia has tae say on the matter unless Aubrey was less than truthful aboot how much Talia drank frae her.”

“I drank both of her breasts dry once. That’s it.” Talia said, which was what Aubrey had told the others.

“Fine,” Laura stood up, “Thank you Merida. Talia I’d like to talk to you alone about all this. Would you come to the tower with me?”

“Sure.” Talia stood up as well.

“We’ll be goin’ noo too.” Merida said standing and grabbed Flora’s hand as the four exited the boudoir. Leaving Aubrey and Chloe alone once again. Chloe gave Aubrey a look and gestured towards her breasts. Aubrey rolled her eyes and let Chloe suckle her until she was empty.

Laura and Talia went to the tower. They briefly checked on Lucia and Laura explained the lessons she was putting Lucia through. Then the two went up to the top of the tower to chat.

“Okay Laura, what do you want to talk about?” Laura gave Talia a disbelieving stare. “My bad. I meant where do you want to begin this conversation? I obviously know what this is about.”

“How are you okay with what Aubrey did to you?”

“I think you are under a misconception, Laura. I AM annoyed at Aubrey. She did take advantage of my reduced mental state, but here is the thing; I understood what I was doing, and would have done it had my mental state been normal. Before you say anything about it just being a thought, it wasn’t. I had legitimately been planning on broaching the topic with her, I just didn’t know how to do it. Asking another woman, in a committed relationship no less, ‘Hey, I’d like to suckle your breasts’ is rather an awkward request to make. She didn’t **** herself on me or badger me repeatedly about it. She asked if I wanted to be changed and explained what she thought would happen. I then suckled her myself. She simply offered herself to me. Laura, I don’t understand why you are so bent out of shape over this. Was I impaired? Partially. But are you telling me you’ve never had sex with someone after a few beers? I ask because I remember what happened that night. Well most of it, there was a point where I definitely became too stupid to remember what was happening. I’ve questioned Chloe about what happened though, after she promised to tell me the truth about it. Aubrey didn’t breastfeed me except the one time I remember. So, Aubrey didn’t do anything to me that I didn’t consent to. So, why are you so pissed off at Aubrey about this?”

Laura listened to Talia speak and was wrestling with her own emotions. She had been tempted to interrupt more than once but wanted to wait for Talia to finish. When Talia finally did finish, Laura’s face contorted in frustration. After a few moments Laura exclaimed in frustration, “BECAUSE I LIKE YOU OKAY! Sorry I shouldn’t have yelled. You know I like you. I told you that. Aubrey took advantage of you sexually while mentally impaired, which is one thing I don’t tolerate. The fact I want to be romantically involved with you just makes it worse.”

“Ah, now things make more sense. Laura I know you said you don’t care about labels but if someone asked you to describe our relationship, how would you do that?”

“That… well that we were dating, and it was an open relationship.”

“So, a couple. That I’m your girlfriend?”

“I don’t think girlfriend would be appropriate at this time, but eventually yes.”

“Good, because I would be annoyed if you had said you would describe it that way before making it official with me. Correct me if I have this wrong. Your view of the situation is thus: Your prospective romantic partner, me, while impaired was taken sexual advantage of by someone you considered a friend. Essentially that Aubrey sexually assaulted me. Would that be accurate?”

Laura took a moment to respond. “Mark said I shouldn’t make that last claim lightly but I’m having a hard time viewing it as anything else.”

“I agree with Mark on this. You shouldn’t make that claim lightly. I also don’t agree with your assessment. Laura, nothing Aubrey did that night was sexual for her. Heck the only thing that was sexual for me was the fact I was being changed. The way Aubrey was completely disinterested in the fact I was suckling her definitely did not make it erotic to suckle her. She was having a conversation with Chloe essentially the whole time I was drinking from her. She only stopped to pay attention to me, when I was done with one of her breasts and went to go to the other one. Now I asked a semi-rhetorical question but I would actually like an answer. Have you had sex with someone after a few beers or other judgement-impairing substances where you had not discussed in detail ahead of time what was and was not okay sexually..”

“Yes, but–”

“But nothing. The fact you thought they were down for stuff is not relevant. I’m not saying you did anything wrong. Most guys can have a beer or three and still very much be capable of reasoning, and making an informed decision. That doesn’t change the fact their judgement was impaired like mine was.”

Talia took a deep breath and continued, “Now I heard what happened with Mark that night. I need to apologize for being partially responsible for that. I was thinking with my loins instead of my head when I gave Chloe the bowl. I’m sorry for that. I bring that up though because, I know you didn’t tell Mark ahead of time what he was in for with the caramels because you couldn’t. You put him in an impaired state and while I didn’t see Mark or Mary in that state I’ve gotten an idea of what they were like, like that. He almost certainly did things he wouldn’t have done sober, like whatever he did to Flora. I know he very specifically had Merida be her hypnotist because he was concerned about it becoming a sexual thing for her, and that she would receive TFs for it. I assume that is what the issue he had to take care of yesterday morning since it also involved Merida, and I assume that it happened while under the influence of the caramels. Sure I know Mark would love to hypnotize the lot of us and put various triggers in place because I find that arousing too. You were there that night to rein Mark in, if things went too far. You took that responsibility on yourself knowing that you were impairing his judgement. I’m certain the candy bowl messed that up. Again, I’m sorry about that. But I’m sure Mark was counting on you to stop him, that he assumed he could count on you to push back if he went too far. My point is you and Ellen intentionally **** Mark without telling him the effects of the ****, with the blessing of almost all of us. Specifically to get Mark to do something he was afraid or hesitant to do. You did that with specific intent. I sincerely hope you aren’t the type of woman to say ‘but he actually wanted to do those things so it’s okay’, because being sexist wasn’t something I expected from you Laura. Rather you simply haven’t really thought about your own actions thoroughly. Since you clearly have a problem with Aubrey taking advantage of me while impaired to get me to do things I wanted to anyway. In my view Laura, what we all allowed to happen to Mark was a lot worse than what Aubrey did to me. I like you a lot, Laura, but you are being a huge hypocrite right now.”

Talia took another deep breath to continue her tirade holding up a hand to stop Laura from interrupting. “Frankly Aubrey saved us all from being partially responsible for a massive fuck up. She is the only person who didn’t know about the caramels and she prevented you from getting pregnant. I doubt that Mark would be nearly as happy with the results of that night, had you gotten pregnant. Even if he wants kids, Merida told us what his reaction was when he found out all our contraceptives were taken. He exploded at Cassandra in rage. So, I would like you to explain: If what Aubrey did was ****, how what you and Ellen did and the rest of us allowed to happen to Mark wasn’t ****? I’m pretty sure I can dismantle any argument you can make about this, except for one; That Mark was competent enough to be responsible for his own actions and could consent. Neither of us can know that for sure, and we have to rely on his judgement after the fact, which is the same thing you have to do with me regarding Aubrey. Now would you like to try and explain how they are different, accept that both you and Aubrey sexually assaulted someone, or that you are apparently far more willing to accept **** when involving yourself and are being a bit hypocritical? Because I don’t really see another option besides those three but feel free to posit one if you do.”

When Talia finished she sat down and gave Laura time to think about what she had said. Laura took a long time. She paced back and forth considering her arguments in her head. After more than half an hour of pacing, she slammed down one foot hard in frustration, which caused the tower to shake slightly. Talia said, “Umm… maybe don’t break the tower while we are inside it please.”

“Sorry, I’m not truly used to my own strength yet.”

“I take it by that stomp you’ve come to some sort of realization?”

“Yes.” Laura didn’t look happy about it. “I thought about what you said. I agree with your premise that if what Aubrey did was **** then what we did to Mark would be too, at least based upon both yours and Mark’s reactions after the fact.” Talia just waited for Laura to continue which took a minute. Laura sighed in frustration, “I’m upset with myself because I think you’re right that I’m being a massive hypocrite. I still feel like what Aubrey did was wrong and what Ellen and I did was fine. But you’re right, Mark might have agreed to take the candy but that was under the assumption that I would be there to stop him, if things got out of hand. I did tell him he went too far but didn’t **** things to end when that happened. I let myself get compromised, and didn’t do my duty. You’re also right, Mark had been hesitant to take that step and we specifically had him take the caramels to get him to do so, knowing for certain that he would take that step because of them. I don’t know why I can’t stop feeling like Aubrey did something horrible and we didn’t though.”

“I can. It’s really simple. It’s because you’re thinking with your heart instead of your head. Which I assume is unusual for you.”

Laura looked confused. “What do you mean?”

“Well, there is a lot tied up here. See logically you’ve accepted that what you and Aubrey did aren’t that different. Now you’re upset because you like me, apparently a lot more than I realized if you are getting this bent out of shape about this. Your heart is telling you that what Aubrey did was violate me because you care. Which is being made worse because I think some part of you realized that what you did to Mark and possibly what you’ve done in the past isn’t all that different. You don’t want to accept that you might have violated someone else, because that thought disgusts you. So there is a dissonance between your feelings and your reason. You’ve recognized that maybe you don’t live up to the standard you thought you did.” Talia looked a little sullen saying, “I know that feeling rather well recently.”

“So, what do I do?” Laura said with a plea in her voice.

“First, do you think that what you did to Mark was **** and if not, why?”

“No, I don’t. I failed to do what I was supposed to but Mark was clearly able to reason and able to rein himself in when he stopped and thought about things.”

Talia nodded, “Okay, now I’m telling you while dumb especially compared to right now, I was able to understand what Aubrey was asking of me. Now second thing, can you accept my word here. You say you care about me, then trust me.”

Laura rustled her own hair in frustration, “Grrahh. Yes, I’ll accept your word about you being able to give consent.”

“Third, since I gave consent to Aubrey, why are you upset? We aren’t exclusive, you made that clear.”

With frustration in her voice Laura said, “Because she still took advantage of someone… someone I think I’m falling in love with. Aubrey is also my friend and I thought she was better than that.”

“It sounds like you are jealous, Laura. Maybe because you think that eventually I will either end things or want exclusivity between us. So, when Aubrey breastfed me you were concerned it would make me want her and between you and Aubrey I would choose Aubrey. Does that seem about right?”

Laura took a moment before responding. “Maybe? I think so.”

“Well let me disillusion you of your misconception here. While you are probably right that eventually I will want a level of exclusivity between us, that level isn’t monogamy. I was under the impression Mark told you all the exact changes he made to me. My ideal relationship is now a polyamorous one. Even if I wanted both you and Aubrey, which I don’t want Aubrey like I do you, the only way I would pick one of you over the other is if I was **** to by one of you. Now as far as exclusivity is concerned Laura that isn’t to say you couldn’t have other sexual or romantic partners. I would be okay with that. It just means that I should be aware of them and okay with you being with them, vice versa as well.” Talia let Laura digest that for a minute. “Now Laura, it sounds like you might want to make it official that we are a couple. Would I be correct in that deduction?”

“I think you would be, yeah.”

“That works for me.” Which perked Laura up. “Hold on a second before getting too excited. I want to lay out how I see us being a couple works. First, obviously we are able to be with Mark and Mary however we want. It isn’t realistic to say otherwise.” Laura nodded. “Second, any and all sexual or romantic partners should be disclosed before anything takes place and the other gives their approval. In this case that means you tell me who you’ve been intimate with that you wish to continue being intimate with and I’ll let you know if I’m okay with that. Then with anyone else I expect to be informed before you do anything with them. I would consider not telling each other ahead of time, to be cheating. Third, I want you to understand I’m going to be far more restrictive about romantic partners than your sexual ones. Does all that work for you?”

“I’d like a clarification about something. If we are doing something with Mark and someone else joins in, and we haven’t discussed them, what is your position about that, because I find it probable that will happen eventually.”

Talia thought about that, “You’re right that is likely to happen eventually. As long as Mark is involved and it wasn’t planned by you that’s fine but I want to be informed shortly after it occurs. It doesn’t have to be like right after but there better be a really good reason if more than a day elapses and we haven’t told each other. For instance, one of us is to dumb to comprehend words.”

“Then yes, all that works for me.”

Talia waited expectantly for Laura to continue. When she realized Laura wasn’t going to continue, she prompted her, “So… are you going to tell me who you wish to continue being intimate with or should I assume you will tell me before touching anyone besides Mark?”

“Right. Well… I’ve been with Sam, Flora, and Ellen. Lucia too if you count her as a separate person but I don’t think we should. I definitely want to continue stuff with Ellen, like I would be rather upset if you told me no about her. I’d like to be able to do sexual stuff with anyone in the harem, plus all of Mark’s staff and Smug. I realize that simply asking for permission for all of them isn’t on the table though.”

“Good because it isn’t.”

“If I had to order my top priorities it would be Ellen, Flora, Sam, Chloe, Smug. All after Mark and you.”

“Chloe and Smug? I mean I’m a little surprised by both of them. Don’t mistake my surprise for judgement, both are super hot. Just Chloe doesn’t seem particularly interested in women besides Aubrey. Smug, well that is a different can of wyrms. My permission is secondary to Mark’s here. So, ask me when you have that. But care to explain, why Chloe?”

“Well… okay promise me that under no circumstance this goes beyond us. You don’t tell anyone you know, even the others who know about this.”

“Assuming it isn’t harmful in some way, sure.”

“Well, Ellen and I watched our alternative histories with Mark, including one where Ellen was born as Lucia instead…”

“O-kaaay…” Talia motioned for Laura to continue.

“Honestly most of the differences between Mark’s and my histories were really minor. Like really really minor. Like I just had to ask him out, or he had the courage to do it himself.”

“I’m sure you are coming to a point soon, right?”

“As you are aware Chloe went to school with Mark and I. We were both part of the same sorority, and Chloe was my little.” Talia raised an eyebrow at that. “It isn’t sexual. Do you really not know about Greek life?”

“No I don’t.”

“A big and little are essentially just a mentor and mentee. The big is supposed to teach their little or littles things about the sorority during pledging. They tend to develop into strong friendships and while I know not every fraternity or sorority keeps track of it, most have ‘family trees’ keeping track of histories of bigs and littles. Anyway Chloe showed up in my section of the film. Sometimes… well sometimes, she ended up with Mark and myself.”

Talia could sense hesitation from Laura, “I see. So, at least in similar realities she was interested in you as well. Why do I get the feeling that you haven’t told me the part you definitely want me to keep secret yet.”

“Because you are smart. See, sometimes there was a fourth person in our polycule. Mark, myself, Chloe, and… Sadie.”

“OH, I could see why you don’t want that getting around. You do realize that likely means Chloe will have that history in her own film with Mark, if she ever watches it right?”

“Shit, I had not considered that. She would be so pissed off to find that out.”

“Nothing you can do about it. Not your fault. So, I just want to make sure I understand what you are looking for here. You would like permission to continue having a sexual relationship with Flora and Sam, a possible romantic and sexual relationship with Chloe, something with Smug, and most importantly your incestuous relationship with Lucia, which may or may not become romantic at some point, but will definitely involve you dominating her.”

“I wouldn’t have put emphasis on the **** like you did but yes, that about sums it up.”

“Sure, fine with me except you are to invite me if you do anything with Smug. If that’s a deal breaker for Smug tough titties for her.”

“Really? I thought you would have told me no to at least one of them.”

Talia shrugged. “Now, since you asked for permission it’s my turn. I want Sam, Flora and Merida. I didn’t want Merida that much before but seeing her as a vixen and the fact that is probably going to become permanent I do want her. I want all of them sexually eventually. I would also like to pursue one or more romantically.”

“I have no problem with the sex. You can have a romantic relationship with one of them otherwise you need to talk with me again. I could see Flora and Merida insisting on both or neither.”

“I was going to ask what was up with Flora having Merida just grope her and the matching outfits?”

“Well they are officially a couple. Merida apparently used her boon to tie them together tighter as well. The two of them apparently bought some upgrades yesterday which I’m guessing Flora is now really comfortable with people touching her. The matching outfits are a combination of Merida’s TF, Flora helping Merida out and Mark’s doing.”

Talia was biting her lip in arousal. “Laura, could we make out? Listening to you talking about how they were transformed has got me rather turned on.”

“You don’t need to ask twice.” Laura pulled Talia into a passionate kiss. It would be quite some time before they went and checked on Lucia’s training.
