CH 105: New Normal

Claire couldn’t help but smile as she sat in the driver’s seat. Despite her companion’s sulking, she was in a great mood. Ursa seemed to be fitting in perfectly with the other members of her party. It was only her lover beside her that was the issue.

Elsie sat with arms crossed, glaring ahead as though the road had offended her. She leaned heavily into Claire’s side, demanding to be noticed. Claire wrapped her arm around Elsie, hoping to ease her mood.

“Elsie… are you really jealous of Ursa right now?” Claire asked calmly.

“No.” Elsie snapped. “I’m just annoyed.”

“Oh? Really?” Claire said, stifling a giggle. “Not jealous that both Ana and Lily have been fawning over our new member?”

“No.” Elsie repeated more firmly. “Just Ana.”

Claire giggled and leaned down to kiss her forehead. “Jealousy doesn’t suit you.”

“I’m not jealous,” Elsie grumbled. “I just hate being ignored.”

“You’re not being ignored, Elsie… Ana’s just enjoying our new party member.” Claire whispered. “Besides, I’m paying attention to you.”

“I guess… just… It’s different with Ana.” Elsie said. She checked in on her sister’s thoughts, only to be drowned in Ana’s pleasure. “Ursa joined us, but I still hesitate to trust her…”

Claire tilted her head. “And why’s that?”

“Well, I’ve known you since we were kids. Jasmine and Lily, too. It was easy to bring you three into our adventuring plans… I just worry about the unknown, I guess.” Elsie said. “Not like I have anything against Ursa, but she does seem to be a wild card…”

“That’s fair,” Claire said. She took a moment to weigh her words. “Not jealous, but overprotective?”

Elsie let out a long, exasperated sigh. “Yes… mostly.”

Elsie took a deep breath and concentrated on keeping her thoughts to herself. “I worry Ana will get too attached, and all of you, only for Ursa to leave or, Goddess forbid, betray us…”

Claire raised her eyebrow. She doubted Ursa would betray them, but leaving them did sound possible. “I see… worried she’ll be called back to her people?”

Elsie nodded. “I worry she’ll get too attached and once Ursa leaves… she retreats into herself.”

“Oh…” Claire said, processing her words.

“I know it’s paranoia, but Ana is very fragile.” Elsie continued. “When Ryley was captured and especially when mom died…”

“I remember. She seemed to disappear.” Claire chimed in. She didn’t remember the time after Ryley left, but she remembered when their mother died. She remembered the funeral where Elsie could not stop crying. And, she remembered Ana, who seemed so distant and emotionless.

“Yeah…” Elsie said. The weight in her chest eased as she spoke about her worries. She snuggled closer to Claire, feeling her lover’s warmth before a smile started to form on her face. “So no, I’m not jealous. Just the only one being cautious about our sexy new member.”

Claire exhaled from her nose. Elsie’s playful tone was back. She gave Elsie another kiss on the forehead and spoke. “True. She is incredibly sexy…”

Claire yelped as Elsie pinched her side. “Hey! Focus on me right now.”

The two giggled, and Claire refocused on the road ahead. Elsie readjusted to lay her head in Claire’s lap. Her eyes softened as she looked up at her lover’s face, a wide smile plastered onto her own.

“Thank you for asking… I needed to vent about that.” Elsie said. Her voice was quieter and less playful. She reached up and cupped Claire’s cheek. “And yes, I’m jealous that I don’t get to enjoy Lily’s breasts.”

After stopping for the night, Claire made sure not to disturb her sleeping lover. She carefully lifted Elsie up and headed towards the back of the carriage. Her other lovers were quiet now, seemingly tired from their previous activities.

She was greeted by three breathless women in various states of undress. Lily, whose dress was across the carriage, was being caressed by a fully naked Ana. While their newest member was pantsless and doing her best to hold off Jasmine’s eager tongue.

Jasmine was the only one not panting. She was too focused on cleaning their newest member that she didn’t even look up when Claire entered. Claire set Elsie down beside Lily, who quickly latched onto her other side, before helping Ursa.

She gently pulled Jasmine off of the exasperated girl, only to be met with Jasmine’s dirtied lips. Claire’s mind went fuzzy from the mix of flavors and the sensation of Jasmine’s length pressing against her.

When they parted, their eyes locked. Jasmine whispered, “I missed your taste…”

Her hands were already working on Claire’s pants. Claire grabbed her hands and held them still. “Not yet… need to prepare the carriage and start watch.” Claire cooed back.

“Right… It’s that time already…” Jasmine said. Her eyes slowly lost their lustful haze. “I’ll help you out.”

The two left to secure the horses, leaving Ursa as the only one still conscious. She was doing her best to recover. Honestly, she’d lost track of how many times she’d cummed over the last couple of hours. All she knew was that her cock was still hard.

“How the fuck do they deal with this thing?” She whimpered, glaring down at it. Hours of nonstop stimulation, and it was still throbbing for attention. She felt the slowly drying cum cling to her skin, the aroma overwhelming her nose.

“Fuuuck… why does it smell so good?” She whined as she licked her lips. She could taste each of the three. They all had a distinct taste, besides the twins.

She sat up slowly, letting out a groan. She glanced at the other three, a small pang of jealousy hit her as she saw them. The twins were clinging to Lily as they slept.

She didn’t know how she still had any reservations after the exhausting three days she had, but she did. For some reason, non-sexual affection still made her freeze. She locked up whenever one of them would kiss her.

“How?” She huffed, finally catching her breath. “I’ve literally fucked all five of them but I still can’t cuddle them?”

She sat on the side bench, watching quietly as the three slept. Her eyes wandered to Elsie, watching the older woman’s chest rise and fall. She hadn’t gotten a chance to interact with Elsie much since traveling.

Without realizing it, she inched closer to the trio. Slowly, but surely, she approached the closer twin. A soft chuckle escaped her lips as she studied Elsie’s peaceful face, so much cuter when she wasn’t talking. By the time she noticed, she was kneeling beside Elsie.

She blinked rapidly, her body betraying her. Ursa craved the warmth exuding from all three. She longed to join the tangle of limbs, but her pride kept her frozen. Ursa whimpered softly, torn between discipline and desire.

“What are you doing?” A calm voice whispered behind her. Ursa’s eyes widened as she spun to find the source. Jasmine had returned inside.

“I-I, uh, was just… checking on them.” Ursa stammered. She tried to steady her voice, but Jasmine’s knowing smile made it worse.

“You know, you’re allowed to do practically anything to them…”  Jasmine said smoothly, walking closer. “Even if it isn’t sexual.”

“What do you mean? I wasn’t doing anything like that.” Ursa stiffened.

Jasmine raised an eyebrow before she knelt to meet Ursa’s eyes. “You are allowed to cuddle them. Hell, I bet Elsie would love to feel your arms wrapped around her.”

Ursa’s face flushed with embarrassment. “I-I would never do something s-so weak…”

Jasmine’s smile widened at Ursa’s shaky resistance. “Right. Because affection is weakness.”

“It is, and weakness gets you killed,” Ursa replied after clearing her throat.

“I used to think the same way…” Jasmine whispered, inching closer. She gently rested her forehead against Ursa’s. “I thought shutting everyone out kept me strong.”

Ursa didn’t move. She couldn’t. Jasmine’s closeness was too disarming. She wasn’t given any time to react either.

Jasmine softly kissed her. Her body gently eased Ursa onto her back, pinning her with surprising tenderness. When their lips parted, Jasmine smiled down at her

“Now… I realize how blind I was…” Jasmine whispered.

Ursa whimpered softly, trying to find her words. She felt Elsie’s back press against her arm, causing her to stir. Elsie shifted to sleepily face the duo.

“Jazz?” Elsie mumbled sleepily. Before Ursa could even move, Elsie’s arm draped across her chest. Elsie pulled herself closer and snuggled up to Ursa. She shifted for a moment before drifting back to sleep.

“There… was that so hard…” Jasmine said, now on her feet. Ursa was still surprised at how fast Jasmine could move.

“Fuck you,” Ursa whimpered, barely above a whisper.
