Chapter 12.3 | Vixen A.D. 2

Addy opened the shower door, staring inside. She tapped a clawed fingertip on her lower lip, then slid off her glasses. Faye helped her set up the next set of clothes and, deciding to give something a bit more casual a shake, she opted for a sweater and high-hip jeans. Faye called it the “mom” jeans, but Addy didn’t mind. She thought it’d look good on her, especially with the hips and curves she was gifted with.

That, and she didn’t want to put on anything too intense… though that did cross her mind. She wanted to show off a bit, have a little fun, maybe, once everything was settled. Her sex drive was kicking in and she knew it would begin to nag at her, but Addy still had some lever of control over it.

She slipped off her dirty socks. Addy threw them into a trash can. She undid her button on the pants, next, unzipping the fly. The kitsune scientist worked them off slowly, each tug and pull downward met with a sound of blood and caked dirt flaking to the floor.

Eventually, they were off. She also discarded them, happy to rid herself of the things. She happened to glance at herself in the mirror, chancing a moment to really study herself. Holy shit, she was dirty. Way dirtier than she thought.

Her crystal blue eyes stood out among the smeared dirt, dried blood, and caked on gunk. They just let me eat at the table with them like this, Addy thought. God, how embarrassing, I must have made them want to wretch.

But that wasn’t true. Everyone ate without a problem. Addy leaned forward, studying some of the matted fur in her fluffy ears. She twitched one. “Cleaning those,” she said to herself quietly.

Addy turned and stuck a hand in the shower stall and searched for something to start the hot water. She felt stupid because, after a second, the kitsune top-of-her-class realized that the system at Delta used a inlayed touch-display. Addy shook her head. She normally would have picked up on that.

After a second or two, Addy dialed in the settings she wanted: hot water, the setting for a lot of mist and rain, and a softening in the water to sooth her aching body. Fuck, she might even take a steamy bath afterward, if she felt up to it.

Addy had a feeling the piping hot water would relax her muscle so much, she’d have to go lay down and forget about doing anything useful for the night. A hot shower after a big meal and then I can sleep, oh the sleep will be so good, I won’t be able to keep my eyes open, I’ll be so tired…

Addy watched the water fall from the many micro-outlets above the shower stall. She looked over to the opposite side of the bathroom, staring at the giant tub, and made a mental note to do it maybe tomorrow night. It, too, appeared to have plenty of settings and dispensers.

Addy returned to her shirt and tugged it off, revealing the supple cleavage of her soft breasts.

She glanced at herself in the mirror again, undoing her black-lace bra, and discarding it to the side. She stretched, then, free of the material digging into her sensitive skin. It felt good to let loose, to not feel cramped up, and she was tired of wearing the thing. Once she had rest, and was clean, she’d fabricate another one from the machines in the closet that did it so well, according to Faye.

The basic outfit she requested was currently being fabricated, and when she was out the shower, she would probably put on the underwear, maybe only that. That was if she could make it to the closet. Addy had a feeling that once she was out of the shower, the only place she would go to would be the bed.

And drift off into the deep dark of gentle slumber.

She didn’t really have a problem with nightmares, but she did wonder if they’d come for her in her rest. Typically, she was able to sleep fine, even with the knowledge of The Singe, but being stuck in a lab with who-fucking-knew how many of them might have a different effect.

She let out a sigh, then calmly started on her panties. In a way, she thought about Mace watching her undress. Unwrapping a present, that present being her. God, I’m already fucking horny, and I’m totally new here.

At least, if it were a possibility, they would be open to it. Addy didn’t know how much of that worked—she’d never had a boyfriend, let alone a girlfriend, let alone been in a three or four way kind of thing, and maybe it was her divergence from the norm, but she actually kind of like the idea. Why did she have to wait, at least personally, and inwardly, for something to match up?

Why did she have to take it slow? Did The Singe take it slow? Addy shook her head. She returned to working off her panties, slipping them down to her knees, then ankles, and stood. Again, she caught herself in the mirror. Even with needing to eat, she still had her shapely thighs and ass.

That’d suck if I’m going to explore some sort of kinky harem or sex stuff, she thought. Addy wanted to look her best, but she also suspected that, if she had been flatter chested and basically a tiny little thing for her backside, Mace, Faye, and Cinder probably wouldn’t care. Oh my god, just get in the shower, I can’t believe I’m still thinking about this.

“Alright, hormones, we might have to take care of you later,” Addy quietly told herself.

She lifted a nude leg and stepped foot into the shower. Her nipples had firmed, partly of excitement, but mostly because the room was a little too cool, and her body had been exposed to air. Completely and totally nude.

The cool light of the bathroom illimunated the kitsune’s feminine, delicate features, and accented the curves of her breasts, hips, ass, and thighs. Addy let the water run down her face, to the nape of her neck, collar bone, and over the bare, nude skin of her C-cup breasts and soft, pink nipples. Immediately, she felt relief.

It was like a drug. Like a strong benzodiazepine, she thought. A good dopamine hit. An, ‘ahhhhhhh, that’s the stuff,’ kind of feel. She huffed out a steamy puff of breath, eyes firmly closed, and continued to absorb the hot, steamy, softened water.

In the thick haze of a steamy shower that collected now into a dense vapor, Addy felt bliss. She was going to be okay. She wasn’t going to starve. She wasn’t going to die, and for fuck’s sake, she was going to eat steak and bacon. God. And a handsome human guy saved her, along with his cute, badass kitsune friends.

Addy thought about that as she reached for a dispenser of bodywash and a loofa. She piled on a good, creamy, glob of the body wash. Earlier, she’d selected rose and honey, and she instantly could smell it. It wasn’t as strong as she’d like, but that might change as she scrubbed off the dirt, oil, and blood caked to her.

She lathered up the loofa with a healthy amount of suds and effort, then started. First, her neck. Then her shoulders. The aroma of her body wash choice was now more obvious. Addy inhaled it deeply, smiling wide.

She continued onto her chest, next. She lathered her breasts, administering a generous amount of soap, and did the same down to her navel, happy to see that there was indeed a thin layer of grime about everywhere on her body being lifted away. She watched it slip into the drain, along with the delightful lather, and smiled when the water started to lighten a bit. She still had the rest of her body, but Addy was already satisfied.

Delta was proving to be quite the place.

And there was more. Hell, there was talk of the arcades, and consoles, so many things. Being the lonely fox girl, Addy had little interaction with many people, let alone kitsunes, or anyone that would bother giving her an ounce of time. She was quick to trust, and she knew it was a problem, but she couldn’t help it.

Addy was also quick to expose herself, emotionally, and mentally. It just kind of happened, as she had described it. She’d developed a great control over keeping it hidden, but in truth, that control waned from time to time, and eventually, she would be too weak to contain it. Addy took another deep breath of the steamy, hot water vapor in the air.

She moved down to her groin, delicately washing her tight pussy, making sure that, too, was extra clean. Just in case, Addy thought devilishly to herself.

Next, she thoroughly cleaned the ultra-caked on dirt and grim that peppered her lower calves and ankles. The water darkened to a filthy brown and maroon, eventually lightening and, after a few seconds, was clear again. “Oh thank god,” she murmured to herself.

She started on her backside next, careful to apply a good amount between the cheeks, happy to see those parts of her were very clean, and then went up her lower back before reaching to the back scrubber. Addy set the loofa aside, and gripped the handle of the scrubber, and stared at it for second.

In my hand, sometime soon, there could be a resolution to The Singe. She studied the scrubber, turned it, and appreciated the bristles and wooden texture, the way it seemed to fit well in her hand. She lathered it up with a healthy amount of soap and worked it into her back, making sure to exfoliate everything she could.

The shower continued to run. Pattering of hot, filtered, softened water and the gentle sound of a contained rainfall filled the air. I bet I’m looking hot right now, Addy thought. Damn it, shut up, I can masturbate later, I’ve got a disgusting, matted, extra fluffy tail to shampoo, and there’s my hair. Addy let out another sigh.

Already, within a night, masturbation was on her mind. When was the last time she even did that? She couldn’t remember. The only time she could recall, if she tried hard enough, was one night in her bunk when she massaged her clit and slipped in a finger into herself until eventually, she got off.

The memory came back a bit clear and she now remembered the orgasm, and how it relaxed her into a deep sleep. She was thankful she didn’t squirt. If Addy had, she’d need to replace a sheet or two, and she didn’t feel like dealing with that. Imagine, she thought, a kitsune woman, half-naked, stealthily stalking the hall, with a tangled wad of bedsheets in her hand, clearly smelling like sex, and a look of shame on her face, trying to find the laundry room. Oh boy, that’d be embarrassing, Addy laughed.

But maybe, at Delta, that wouldn’t be.

Addy finished with her exfoliation and started on the shampoo, debating on what to work with first. She glanced at the cute mound between her legs, also happy she didn’t have to shave. Addy didn’t like the thought of having pubic hair, and for her, she never grew any. Addy shrugged.

She pooled an amount of shampoo in her hand, rewet her hair, and started working it into her scalp. This one, honey and milk, filled the stall with an obvious aroma.

Addy continued to massage as more dirt and grime released from her hair. She smiled, enjoying the calming sensation of the rich shampoo. The thick, scented lather ran down her breasts and belly, between her legs, and down to the stall’s floor.

She finished, rinsing it out and then deciding to do another round before she began on her tail. A part of her dreaded cleaning it, because she knew how filthy it too had become during her survival. She wet it, made a scrunched up face when immediate dirt released and dripped to the stall floor.

Eeee, it’s so gross! She grabbed an unreasonable handful of shampoo from the dispenser and went to work. “Oh god,” she murmured. “Never again,” she said to herself.

Eventually, the matted, dirty fluff released, and was now free-flowing with the water. She let out a sigh, realizing it must have darkened her fur two whole shades. The same with her ears, too, which she’d already cleaned.

Addy let out a happy sigh and turned to face the water.

I could get out but… well… who needs excuses when I have to seriously condition my fluffy tail and scalp? Addy smiled to herself, lashing her drenched tail, flicking soap and water along the tiled walls. I’ll be in here a bit longer, she thought to herself.

***

Faye continued down the hall, debating on whether laying in bed with Mace and Cinder would risk too much moving around and all that for his back. She considered it, really debating, and decided to hold off. If she knew anything, she knew they were in there now, embracing. Whether Mace was inside Cinder was up for anyone’s guess.

Not that Cinder didn’t want to.

Or that Mace didn’t want to.

In fact, Faye was certain that Mace wanted to and that Cinder wanted to, but also was certain that Cinder wouldn’t do anything to risk injuring him. So ass and pussy are off the table, mostly, Faye thought. Well, Cinder could use her mouth and hands, so long as Mace doesn’t squirm to much.

Faye shook her head, smiling. Was that going to be her thought process for the rest of the night? Just utter lust? Was she the only one feeling that way? No, can’t be—Addy said something about a high sex drive… what if Addy is feeling that way too? I almost bet she is, or is aware of it…

Now that would be a group session, Faye thought. Easily, she could dominate them, and make them Mace’s sluts—much like she was herself—and have some fun. Classy sluts, though. And they would be, she guessed. Because she liked, lusted, and wanted Mace, and so did Cinder.

And if she knew anything, Addy was probably feeling the same way, or well on the way to feeling that. Me and Cinder could control her throat and mouth while she works on Mace. “Fuck,” Faye said to no one.

She was extra horny tonight. Her lust was higher than it had been. Was this something to do with surviving the incident, seeing Mace’s personality and body on full display, or the idea of being part of a… harem? Faye swallowed.

The kitsune didn’t know.

She’d left her room earlier after helping Addy set up and decided to run for a snack. She was already hungry again and, on the way back from effectively vaporizing beef jerky and chocolate, she was on her way to her room again.

And, here, she thought about knocking on the door. For whatever reason, she wasn’t sure if this was a good idea, then dismissed the thought. She knocked on their door anyway, and waited. It slid open. Cinder was there, tail swaying in a t-shirt with nothing on beneath it. “Faye!” she said. Immediately, Cinder embraced her.

“I’m happy you stopped by,” Cinder said.

Faye smiled back happily. “I see. You got anything on under there?”

Cinder let go and stepped into the corridor, and shrugged. “Nah, just the shirt,” she said.

“Addy might catch a glimpse of your ass hanging out,” Faye teased.

And Cinder’s ass was hanging out. The shirt did a bad job of cover anything below the edge, and left the bottom inch or two of her cheeks on full display. “Oh well,” Cider said.

Faye let a grin pierce her face. “You little slut,” she said. “You’re adorable. How’s Mace?” Faye asked.

Cinder rolled her eyes. “Come in and see. This is your room, after all.”

“Yeah, but it might be all three of ours in the future,” Faye admitted.

Cinder smirked and lit up. “I’d like that.”

“And we get to keep our own apartments, too, for plotting, or whatever we want,” Faye added. “Alright, show me the handsome guy,” Faye finished.

Cinder led her into the bedroom. “You’ll be happy to know I was a good girl,” she said. “I didn’t try to fuck him or give him head. Oh, I wanted to,” she said. “But, a couple reasons I didn’t,” she explained.

They rounded a corner that led into the master room with Mace. “I didn’t think you’d risk it. Why didn’t you?”

Cinder nodded. “Well, I don’t want to risk him getting hurt and… well, if he’s feeling better later, I’ll suck his dick.”

“You better do a good job,” Faye said.

Cinder wagged her tail. “Oh, I’m going to. As for sex, I want you to watch… okay, Faye?”

Faye raised a brow. “Hot, you want me to watch, I want to be there.”

“I figured you did, that’s another reason,” Cinder said.

“What’s up?” Faye asked.

Cinder paused, then giggled a little, and smiled with her bright, kitsune teeth. “I might be wrong, but I think you really like telling me what to do with him, and I think you like being in charge of me. Am I wrong? It’s okay if you are.”

“Oh? And if I am?”

Cinder tapped a claw on her lower lip and gazed up at the dark ceiling. “I’ll trade you. I’ll tell you one of my kinks. In fact, I’ll tell you them all, since we’re sharing him. My kitsune instincts are really kicking in. Kinda thinking he should be our alpha, but not the douche-kind. Anyway… um, alright, that’s my offer. How’s that sound?”

Faye held back an uproar of laughter. “Cinder, I would have told you anyway. You kind of fucked up offering that, so I’m going to take that deal, and now you have to tell me every dirty thing you want to do with Mace.”

Cinder giggled. “Damn. Oh no,” she said sarcastically. “What ever will I do? But you go first,” she said. “Am I right? You like telling me what to do with him? You’re more of a dom?”

Faye nodded. “Yes. Of course.”

Cinder smirked. “I fucking knew it,” she said.

Faye laughed quietly. “Yeah, I like that idea lot. Fucking him together is fun. And sharing him. And, honestly, everything we’ve talked about. But… it’s your turn to tell me one of your kinks. I’ll make it fair: just one tonight. What’s something dirty you want to try?”

Cinder gulped. “Oh boy… um… I think he’ll ask but, if he doesn’t, maybe we can try suggesting like, I eat your pussy while he fucks me from behind?”

Faye flushed red. “Holy shit,” she murmured. “You kinky slut. Fuck yeah. I could use a good eating out,” Faye admitted. “We’ll have to really fuck his brains out when he’s feeling better.”

Cinder’s tail wagged. “Great. Oh, here,” she said, pointing to Mace’s bedroom door.

Faye followed her in. She smiled warmly to herself, gazing at the dark shape of Mace’s body beneath the covers. He was resting and, like Cinder had said, she took good care of him. He was tucked in, and a warm, red nightlight was going. “Why you’d set up the night light?” Cinder asked.

“It’s more for me…” Cinder admitted.

Faye giggled. “Well, you’ve got us to help with that. I see you picked the color red, too.”

Cinder gulped. “Do you think he’ll mind? Do you mind?”

Faye shook her head. “No, not all.” Faye placed a hand on her hip, swishing her tail in the ambient light from the master apartments living room and open door. “No, I don’t think he will. He’ll think it’s cute. Besides, you got to see where you’re walking, though we don’t really need it for that. Guessing it might help you sleep.”

Cinder nodded. “Yeah, I’m getting some bad nightmares lately, and I don’t want to risk it freaking and potentially ruining some of that freshly healed tissue,” Cinder explained. “So I think this will work.”

“Have you slept with a night light before?” Faye asked. “I mean, just curious.”

Cinder nodded. “All the time, out there. I would use a candle, an LED torch, whatever I could find, but only if they couldn’t see me either. I had to be sure of that.”

Faye nodded. “That makes sense,” she said. “Yeah, we’ll have to make up for the delay for us not having sex with him. I hope he fucks our brains out. I want to be fucked silly,” Faye said, licking her lip.

“You too?” Cinder asked.

Mace stirred.

“Come on,” Faye said. “Let’s talk about this in the hall,” she advised.

Cinder nodded. “Okay.” She turned and blew a kiss to Mace as he slept. “Hope you can keep up with us needy fox girls,” she teased.

Faye giggled.

With that, they made their way into the corridor again. The door to Mace and Faye’s—Cinder, too, whether she knew it or not—slid shut. “So, anyway, you too?” Cinder asked.

Faye nodded. “Yeah. I mean, I’m always down to do whatever with him, but like… I don’t think, is more intense than usual. I’m less… reserved.”

“Do you think it’s a survival mode, thing?” Cinder queried. “Like, I don’t know, we’re not out there as much now, and it’s letting our programmed libido kind of like, come back? I don’t know,” Cinder said. “My best guess.”

Faye shrugged. “Who knows.”

“It could be because there’s more of us now,” Addy added[NK1] .

Faye turned to her. “Oh wow, I thought you would have slept a lot more. You were only out for a few hours,” Faye said.

Addy nodded. “I admit, I don’t think I was prepared for the restlessness. Those first two hours were like a coma,” Addy said. “So, what are us kitsune girls to do for the night? Anything fun? I heard you plotting,” Addy said.

Cinder blushed and Faye laughed. “We were. Are you hungry?” Faye asked.

Addy nodded. “Actually, yes. Maybe we could have bite to eat, us girls. I want to know more about… Mace, if that’s okay. And I have questions about… the mechanics of certain relationships,” she admitted.

Faye smirked. “Oh, so, are you feeling it to?”

Addy blushed. “Feeling what?” she smiled.

Cinder rolled her eyes. “Don’t lie!”

“Yes,” Addy said. “I am. That is part of our nature, I suppose.”

“Hm. Cute,” Faye smirked.

She’ll definitely look good with Mace, too. How am I helping the man build a harem? Oh well, I’m sure he won’t mind. “Sure, let’s go discuss this over some food.”

“Oh, want to see the arcade?” Cinder chimed.

“Sure,” Addy said. “I actually thought about that as I was showering.”

“You look more fluffy and your furs a bit lighter,” Cinder advised. “Oh my god, what are you using? You smell delightful,” Cinder added.

“The honey and rose body wash, and the honey and milk for my shampoo.” Addy turned to look down the corridor. “Is there only one arcade, or, er, recreation room?”

“There are plenty,” Faye said. “Mace admitted he doesn’t know if the entire base has the cabinets, but maybe we can find one,” Faye said.

Cinder wiggled her hips and tail, hands curled up beneath her chin. “Gah! We can like, have a small adventure!”

“Sounds good to me,” Faye said. “What do you say, Dr. Charm? Up for a little adventure? Got to bond over something, right? Can’t really have a harem without bonding,” Faye said.

Addy blushed profusely, turning rosy-red. “Uhm, harem,” she repeated.

“It’s a joke,” Faye laughed. But it’s not a joke, she told herself in silence.

Cinder giggled. “Nah.” She stuck her tongue out at Faye, leaning forward, hands out and tail swishing. “I don’t think so.”

Faye snickered. “Maybe.”

“Well, come on,” Cinder said. “Let’s go find a rec room with an arcade.”

“Lead the way,” Addy smirked.

***

Cinder found the rec room first, and was happy to see the two arcade cabinets on the same side of the room as the other. “There aren’t as many,” Cinder said. “But, this is still pretty nice. And this rec room has a small kitchen like the other, but not as big.”

“Two couches and a display,” Addy observed. “Hm. Is that a small refrigerator in the back?”

Cinder nodded. “Yeah, probably stocked with water or electrolyte drinks,” Cinder assumed. “Want one?” she offered.

Addy took it up. “Sure,” she said.

Cinder smiled and made her way to the fridge. Faye sat on the couch and studied Addy, wondering if she should just be blunt about absolutely everything, and then approach Mace later. “Snacks are in that little pantry over there,” Faye pointed. “If it’s anything like the one in the other rec room. And there’s way more in the kitchen.”

Addy nodded and made her way to the pantry.

It became clear that she enjoyed the jeans she wore. Faye could see why. They really did accentuate the kitsune’s hips, thighs, and backside. Mace is going to love that. “So, how was that nap?”

“Very good,” Addy said. She stopped at the mini-pantry door and stared, as if waiting for permission.

“I mean it,” Faye said. “Go for it,” she repeated.

Addy let out a sigh and opened the pantry door. “Sorry,” she said. “I’m not used to… a lot of this. Oh, pretzels!” she chimed.

Cinder set drinks on the rec room’s coffee table. “Heh, I like those too, and chocolate. There’s chocolate covered ones… can you toss me a bag?”

Addy nodded, and obliged, throwing her a bag of the chocolate covered pretzels before closing the in-room pantry door. She came back with her own bags of snacks, and sat next to Faye on the sofa. She set them on the coffee table and ripped one open.

Faye smiled. “I think I want one too,” she said.

Addy handed her a bag of trail mix. “I found this. Do you like trail mix?”

She nodded. “Had some of this the other day. It’s tasty,” she said. “Thanks.”

Addy nodded. “Mhmm. I love to share,” she said.

It’s like she’s hinting at it, Faye thought. “I bet. Sharing is really good.”

Addy glanced around the room. “Do you have soda? I kind of want to try some later,” she said. “I’ve never had it before.”

Faye nodded. “Mhmm. Cola,” Faye said. “And a bunch of others.”

Addy grinned and opened her electrolyte drink. “Yay.” She took a sip. “So, I was curious about everyone’s relationship dynamics.”

Cinder nodded, now transfixed on the arcade. “Oh, yeah. What’d you want to know?”

Addy shrugged. “I’m… so, I’ll tell Mace, but I’m quick to uh… be open. So, I was wondering if that kind of happened with you two? And like, how does it work, exactly? Are you all dating each other? Or just sharing him? Or something else? Maybe in-between?”

Faye shrugged. “We’re sharing him, and I guess that’s the way that’s working, maybe you could look at it any way you want. What I know, is that I fuck Mace, and I have Cinder do dirty things to him, when it comes to the sex. Intimacy, we all cuddle each other, Mace primarily taking the charge there. Well, he takes the charges on about everything… well, everything.”

Addy blushed a bit. “Oh yeah?”

Faye nodded. “Yeah.” She tossed a handful of trail mix into her mouth and chewed it, then drank some water. “I mean… I’m his girlfriend and I’m pretty sure Cinder is, too. So… yeah. That’s how it is.”

“Interesting,” Addy said. “And… when did you know you were attracted to him?”

“Like I said, pretty early on.”

“Immediately, for me,” Cinder said. “Right then and there, I knew in the back of my fluffball mind that I was going to absolutely pursue him, and when I learned Faye and he were already having sex, I had to temper my expectations and kind of like… figure it out, and see if that was okay… and it turns out Faye wants me to do stuff with him, and he wants to share us, and we want to share him so, yeah.”

“Okay,” Addy said. “Hm. Have you, uh, had a threesome yet?”

Faye shook her head. “I mean… not full on.”

“I gave him oral,” Cinder said. “I know for sure that’s definitely one of my favorite things to do, now,” she admitted.

 Addy blushed a bit. “That’s… uh, quite provocative.”

“She’s good at it,” Faye winked. “Why are you interested in all of us? Did you fall for him at first sight?” Faye teased.

 Addy blushed. “Um.. so, I’m not ready to… comment on that, quite yet, but I admit he is extremely handsome and charismatic.”

Faye grinned. Yes, that’s right, join us. “We agree. How’re the snacks?”

Addy nodded. “Great. I might actually be starting to feel tired again.”

“Maybe you just needed more food,” Cinder suggested.

Addy agreed. “That could be it. Yeah, I wouldn’t be surprised. I don’t remember exactly when the rest of the inhibitor’s other effects wore off, just the hunger suppression. Sometimes, it suppresses it so well, it’s not obvious that you need more sustenance than you initially predicted,” Addy explained.

Faye nodded. “Yeah, that’s probably it.”

“Us girls need to plan something,” Cinder said. She complained at her game, then continued on. “That way we can have more bonding time. Plus, it will be fun to plot. I’ve been thinking about the dinner we had.”

“Oh yeah?” Faye asked.

Cinder lashed her tail. “Mhmm. And I think it would be fun to cook up a dinner. But, I don’t know if you can manually cook,” she confessed.

“Oh, you can,” Faye said. “It’s just the AI and robotics can do it for you. I just kind of let them take over and tweak some settings.”

“Let’s do it without the robotics,” Cinder said.

Faye shrugged. “I’m not much of a cook.”

“Me either,” Addy said.

Cinder turned to them and placed a hand on her hip, the slit between her legs almost exposed by her shirt’s almost[NK2] -long enough length. “Well, I do! I was one of the people that cooked a lot while we were surviving out there,” she said. “Well… okay, I wasn’t a chef, at all, and there were a ton of things that I’ve only tried here, but I know when something is burnt, not cooked enough, and how to mix stuff.”

“Hm, fair,” Faye replied. “You going to teach us?”

Cinder smirked. “Yes! Then we can cook for him. Wouldn’t that be romantic? Cooking for him?”

“Do you have a mother or housewife kink?” Faye teased. “You’re really loving the shit out of this mother fox mode[NK3] ,” she laughed.

Cinder nodded. “Well… okay, maybe I do but… admit it, you’d like to do it, too,” Cinder replied.

Faye lifted her arms and hands, eyes closed. “Guilty,” she said as light caught the cleavage of her breasts.

Cinder giggled. “Good. Addy?”

“I must admit,” she began. “I am feeling a bit of this mother vixen thing, myself,” she said. “I suppose nurturing must have been really programmed into us. More than I would have suspected.”

“We need to sit down sometime and you tell us everything you know about KITSUNE,” Faye said.

“I’ve mostly told you everything,” Addy said. “Though some stuff comes back in pieces. That would be a good thing to address,” she said. “It might be possible to find more information. I know USF couldn’t really locate much, or piece much together, but I’m convinced it can be done.”

“Well, that can be something we do on the side,” Faye said.

Cinder’s tail swayed. “Yeah, that sounds like a good side project. Well, vixens, what are we going to cook?”

“More steak? And bacon?” Addy offered.

Cinder nodded. “Hm, yes! Now that’d be a breakfast,” Cinder admitted. “We could do all meals,” she said.

“And in between, you can swallow him, or ride him with me,” Faye said. “Keep his endorphins going,” she teased.[NK4] 

Addy blushed and laughed. “If you go slow and you’re careful, cowgirl positions should be sufficient. Backwards or facing him. Same with oral or using your hand,” she said.

Faye smirked wide. “Endorphins, huh?”

Addy nodded. “Yes, quite.”

“You seem to know a lot about this stuff,” Faye grinned. “All those positions,” she said.

Addy gulped. “I may have… studied, some anatomy,” she responded shyly.

Cinder chuckled. “Well, that can be useful. What all kinds of stuff is backwards cowgirl good[NK5] ? Maybe putting on a show for him,” she said. Cinder tapped a finger on her lip. “Or anal.”

Faye snickered. “Aw, does Cinder want to try anal sex?”

She giggled. “Hmm, to be honest, yes,” she admitted.

“Me first, though,” Faye said. “I’m interested.”

“Since when?” Cinder asked.

“Since just now, when you said backwards cowgirl anal. Though… hmm, there are some fun positions for that I can think of,” she said.

“You two are very, uh, sexual,” Addy said.

“What’s the matter, Addy? You haven’t thought about it, yet? About what it’d be like to have Mace’s hard, throbbing, warm, human dick inside of you?” Faye teased.

Addy flushed bright red. Cinder laughed, motioning to Faye. “Oh, don’t be mean,” Cinder said to Faye. “Besides, even if we’re teasing about it now, we’re not totally sure how Addy feels about it, or how Mace will feel about it. What if it’s too fast? It’s literally her first night,” Cinder said.

Faye nodded. “That is true. It might be a little too fast,” Faye said. “And we don’t even know what everyone wants.”

“You’re just having fun,” Addy said. “I’m not uncomfortable.”

“Didn’t think so,” Faye said. “We didn’t do this the right way. I’m assuming a lot, here. But, you kind of already implied it. It’s night one.”

“I might be awkward here or there,” Addy said. “But, I’m quite adept at many things, including fast adoption of new policies.”

“Hm… comment on that?”

Addy winked playfully. “Not quite yet,” she said.

“I love this kitsune,” Cinder laughed. “Well, we’re going to get along so well. This is going to be fun,” she said.

“I think so, too,” Faye said. She swished her fluffy kitsune[NK6]  tail. “I think it’s going to be a lot of fun.”

“Sex jokes and flirting aside,” Addy said. “Do you… I mean, do you guys like, think he’d like… oppose some slight advancements?”

“You must be extra horny,” Faye teased. “Only one night here.”

Addy swallowed. “Oh, uh, just doing some future calculations,” she said.

“Mace seems very loving,” Cinder said. “I think you’ll grow close to him and me and Faye… at least I hope,” she said. “I know he will,” Faye said.

Addy smiled happily. “That would be… nice,” she smiled. The kitsune looked to Cinder, and raised a brow. “Is that two-player?” she asked.

Cinder nodded. “Yeah!”

“Hm. Can we play?” Addy asked.

Cinder smiled a white, wide smile. “Please! We can plan breakfast while we game,” she said.

Addy stood. “Cool.”

“Oh you bitch,” Faye teased. “You never told me it was two-player.”

“I thought I did!” Cinder whined, laughing.

“Come on, Addy,” Faye said. “Let’s go help her kick some ass.”

Addy smiled, wagged her tail, and joined the two at Cinder’s arcade cabinet.

***

Mace tossed in bed, catching himself from rolling too hard.

The surgery went well and, like Addy said, he was basically healed, but the tissue was still somewhat soft. It’d harden up, he knew, in time, but that time wasn’t quite yet. He found himself a little disappointed that he couldn’t take advantage of the situation with Faye and Cinder.

And maybe Addy, some day.

Mace let out a long yawn. The room was still dark, and, from what he gathered on his chronometer, the rising sun of a predawn was commencing. He stretched gently, eyes still somewhat closed. He hadn’t fully woken up yet.

No, Mace was still in a decent slumber, but he was no longer in the world of dreams of he, the vixens, and the ruffled sheets of a sex drenched bed. He would be a liar if he didn’t admit of fantasizing about all three while he dreamed. Mace tried not to lie, not even to himself, unless it was beyond necessary.

Well, since no one was poking in his mind, and he wasn’t too keen on remembering much beyond his sexual desires, Mace didn’t bother replaying some of the scenes in his head. The one of Addy on her back, his cock down her throat, and Faye and Cinder stuff her holes with whatever toys they had.

The other vision of Cinder bent over, eating Addy’s pussy, while Faye kissed him. “Come for me,” Faye had said in the dream.

“She’s so tight,” Mace told her. “God, I’m going to…”

Before Mace could replay more of the obscene, lewd images, he heard the sound of his door slide open, then the footfalls of Faye and Cinder. And maybe another, too, but he was a little too tired to be certain of that. “Someone’s stirring,” Cinder said delicately.

The aroma of bacon, eggs, biscuits, gravy, potatoes and onions, hasbrowns[NK7] , ham, sausage, and buttered, lightly-toasted bread teased his nostrils. His eyes parted and, above him, he saw Faye and Cinder holding trays of food. “There’s our handsome man,” Cinder said, smiling.

Faye grinned too. “We brought you some food. You know, since you saved our asses however many times, we wanted to do something nice.”

A third figure lifted a smaller tray, filled with a variety of beverages. “I brought the drinks,” Addy said. “I included coffee, per Faye’s suggestion. And orange juice, among others. Cinder said you liked to have more than just coffee, if you could,” Addy explained.

“Well, I assumed that,” Cinder said.

Faye set the breakfast on Mace’s lap, then went to the bed’s console and adjusted the mattress. It rose, elevated him into a recline, and settled. Mace shifted a bit, letting out another stretch. He glanced between the three kitsunes, feeling a warmth fill him. They really cared about him.

He wasn’t totally sure about Addy, but, she seemed to be interested in the entire situation. But, for sure, Faye and Cinder cared about him. He wasn’t sure how deeply, but knew then and there, that there was no going back in what they’d developed between each other. “You guys got me breakfast in bed,” Mace smiled.

“Do you have a display in here?” Addy asked. “I can set something up for you to watch.”

Mace nodded. “Yeah, there’s a remote over there on the nightstand.”

Addy found it and started the display along the wall in front of the bed. “Got it.”

“I was also going to say I could do it from here,” Mace said. “But thank you.”

“It felt better when I did it,” Addy said. She blushed a little.

The kitsunes organized around him and set up the trays, each bound to a rolling stand that locked over the bed once in position. “I thought I technically could get up and walk?” Mace asked.

Addy nodded. “Yes, you may, but these first couple days, it’s crucial you only do that a little,” she said. “So later, I will walk with you to study the healing’s progress.”

Mace nodded.

Cinder leaned forward and kissed his cheek. “Morning, honey,” she said.

Faye giggled and kissed the other cheek. “Good morning, hottie,” she said.

Mace smiled. “Thanks, lovelies.”

“Good morning,” Addy said from the foot of the bed softly.

“I would… well, never mind,” Mace laughed. “Anyway, how did everyone sleep?”

“Addy napped, and then we went to start breakfast. She napped again after that, so I was going to show them how to cook with what I remember, but decided to just have the Delta prep system make it this time,” Cinder explained. “But don’t worry,” she assured him, “we will be cooking our meals later tonight.”

“Cinder is hellbent on making you a meal and well, I like the idea, too. She’s going to show us how to cook,” Faye said.

“Us?” Mace smiled.

Addy nodded. “Yes. I, too, would like to participate. I think it will be… a good way to get to know everyone a little more,” she said.

Cinder kissed Mace again. “After you’ve had some food and some rest, we can come shower you in some more affection,” Cinder said. Her tail swished. “But whatever we do for you, you can’t squirm too much.”

Mace lifted a brow. He already knew where she was going with that. “Oh? Is that alright?” he asked to Addy.

“Yes, provided certain amenities. You’ll be in for a treat,” Addy explained. “Just relax and, like she said, don’t squirm too much.”

Cinder winked. “I’m going to help Addy pick some clothes, too. Faye showed her how to use the textile thing, so I’m going to help her pick things out to wear.”

“Oh? Why’s that?” Mace asked, digging his fork in. “Really, thanks. Where’s your food?” he asked them all.

“I… uh…” Addy stammered.

Faye slowly lifted a hand. “You… want us to eat in here with you?”

“Uh, yeah,” Mace laughed. “And Cinder, why are you picking things to wear for Addy?”

“No reason! She’s okay with it!” Cinder chimed.

Addy nodded. “Yes. To enjoy the evening,” she explained. “Like an occasion.”

“Hm. Could I eat dinner in the rec room with everyone?” Mace asked.

Faye nodded. “Yeah. You do have to get up, but only a for a few hours.”

“Correct,” Addy explained. “Some activity is good. So, after the walk would be a good time.”

“Excellent,” Mace said, sipping his morning OJ. “So, when are you going to run back down there and get your breakfasts?”

Cinder paused. “Uh…”

“Go on, everyone,” Mace said. “I want us to eat breakfast together. All meals, if we can. That okay, Addy?”

Addy nodded. “Well… I hadn’t thought of it but… I’d be happy to do that.”

“You already know we will,” Faye said.

Mace grinned. “Good. That’s how it’s going to be from now on. We have our meals together as much as we can,” he said. “So, scoot. Go get your breakfast,” he commanded.

They smiled at him. Cinder playfully winked. “Yes, sir,” she said.

Faye smiled. “Don’t get up,” she said. “I mean it.”

“Of course,” Mace smiled.

With that, Faye and Cinder kissed him twice more, and then they went with Addy to the kitchen, retrieving their morning food.

Moments later, they returned. In the living room, Faye worked on bringing in a couple chairs. Cinder and Addy sat in them with their food while Faye gently nestled into the bed along his side. “This okay?” she asked.

Mace nodded. “Yeah, plenty of room and I didn’t even move an inch,” he said. “I love these overside king beds,” he admitted.

“You can fit a lot of people on them,” Cinder said.

Faye snickered a bit and continued to work on her food. Addy didn’t seem to say anything about Cinder’s comment, but it was obvious she’d heard her. Continuing with the remote, Mace flipped through some of the selection of films, videos, and other clips to watch on the display. “What’re we watching?” he asked.

“Hm. How about… a murder mystery[NK8] ,” Cinder suggested.

Faye grinned. “Hell yeah. Those are fascinating,” she said. “I used to find comics here or there with murder mysteries.”

“I just read a book one time,” Cinder said. “So… I guess I jumped the gun. Do they have those in videos?”

Mace smiled. “Oh yeah, there are a bunch. What kind of mystery? Murder mystery, crime documentary, or—”

“Oh my god, the crime murder mystery documentary,” Addy chimed.

They looked at her. “Oh?”

Addy stared back. “What? Psychology is interesting.”

Faye and Cinder giggled. “Remember when I asked if you were a serial killer?” Faye teased.

Addy rolled her eyes. “Please,” she laughed. “I have nothing in common with those monsters. But,” she took a bite of her bacon, “I can admit with a mouthful of bacon that it’s really interesting.”

“Why people do terrible things to other people,” Mace added.

Addy nodded. “I’ve always wondered if there were a way to cure sociopathy or psychopathy,” she said. “It’s a neat little thing of mine, to study that stuff.” She chomped down on some bacon and sausage.

Mace shrugged. “Sounds interesting to me.”

“Do it!” Faye said. “I got to know now, since they have documentaries on it,” she said.

“We’re morbid,” Cinder laughed.

“Don’t think so,” Mace added. “No one here would ever hurt one another,” she grinned.

They all nodded. “Never,” Faye said.

“Same. Never,” Cinder joined.

Addy raised her fork, set it aside, and sipped on her juice. “And I would never.”

Mace, deep down, knew that Addy meant it. “Come on, start it!” Cinder said. “Not all of us had access to the USF video and film archive,” Cinder said.

“Alright,” Mace replied. He pressed play on the remote. The display filled with motion. A narrator began, beginning a moderately long segment about The Zodiac Killer. Immediately, they were glued.

It felt natural. He didn’t want it to change. Just him and the kitsunes having a moment like that, enjoying food, watching something on the display, and cuddling, laughing. Mace knew then that he would be opting to add Addy to their group.

And he had a feeling that they’d be okay with that.

The more snuggles, the more cuddles, the more laughter and joy, the more sex, the more fucking or making love, the more time together, more moments of delight, happiness, and love, the better.

 [NK1]Addy just shows up here, you should have Faye and Cinder show some reactions to that

 [NK2]this might aound better as barely-long, that way you dont have two almosts next to each other

 [NK3]i know and its adorable!

 [NK4]who is saying this here? you have it looking like Faye said it, but then Faye asks a questions about endorphins in a few sentences. should it be Addy here?

 [NK5]good for? this sentence reads odd

 [NK6]you have kitsune twice here close together, maybe use a different description for her tail here?

 [NK7]its kind of hard to distinguish between different potato smells isnt it? lol if you want to have Mace open his eyes and see the food on the trays instead?

 [NK8]did you just mean mystery here? Mace asks what kind of mystery a bit further down
