"Welcome to your new home, for now," James said kindly.
Mero's cheeks flushed slightly as she clasped her hands together, bowing her head. "Thank you, Sir. It is quite charming here," she responded.
Across the room, Suu gave a playful wink at James.
"We should have dinner," Yuriko remarked as she placed her hands on her hips.
Cera glanced at James, her sharp eyes narrowing slightly as she mulled over his choice of words. For now? What does that mean?, she thought.
Miia slithered forward, puffing out her chest proudly. "I helped make dinner," she announced.
"Thou did not toil alone, however," Lefi interjected, her silver hair catching the light as she crossed her arms. "I lent my own efforts as well," she added.
The group made their way to the large dining table, the air filled with the aroma of freshly cooked food. Plates of roasted vegetables, grilled meat, steamed rice, and a variety of sauces were spread out, alongside bowls of fresh fruit and warm bread. The centerpiece was a beautifully baked pie.
As they sat down, James took a seat at the head of the table, gesturing for everyone to dig in. "Let's eat," James said. The group eagerly began serving themselves.
Cera began to eat and looked at Mero. Mero looked in Cera`s direction and smiled. "The story of little is quite popular among mermaids. My parents told me the story when I was young. The meaning of the story has become popular," Cera said. "There have been musicals and operas about it," she added.
"That sure is popular," Rei remarked thinking of the stories she heard about Mermaids before. She thought they were mythical or made up but now she is eating dinner with them.
"Might you be from a prestigious house?" Cera asked. "The manner of speech," she added.
"Yeah you tell," Miia said.
"Centorea, someone told me Centaurs are very proud people. No, I feel, there is a even higher purpose for you. Like a knight from the middle ages," she added.
Cera imagined she was in a shining armour. She thought of Mero sitting on a throne. Mero had a crown and was next to bodyguards.
Yuriko and James looked at each other. "She has some imagination," Yuriko remarked.
Rei giggled. "These dumplings taste good," Rei commented.
Miia forgot about complaining about Mero and Cera, her tail swishing behind her. "Special dumplings!" she shouted.
Mero delicately picked at her food with a fork and knife. She ate it like a noble woman. "This is delightful," she said softly.
"It is good," Papi chirped.
James looked around the room. He thought he had only taken Miia out on a proper date so far. It felt criminal not to take the others out. "I have been thinking for a bit," James started.
"Of?" Rei asked, taking another bite.
"That I have not been treating you all. I have neglected to take you all on dates," James said.
"Darling we have been on a date," Miia said.
"I have not," Papi said, putting her wing up. Suu put her hand up as well.
She thought that was true. James and her had not gone out on a date.They had made love together.
Cera blushed and thought of them holding hands.
"That does sound like a good idea," Yuriko responded. She thought the girls would like that.
"That also includes you," James said. Yuriko swallowed her food. She thought of a date at this age.
"That sounds good," Mero said, smiling at James. "This pie is divine," Mero said, taking another delicate bite.
"Thank Lefi for that one," Yuriko said.
As the evening drew to a close, James leaned back in his chair. He watched Lefi leave. James got up and followed. "Lefi, I want to talk to you," James said as he held her hand.
Lefi nodded. They both headed upstairs into James' room.
James and Lefi sat down. They looked at each other. "What did thou want to talk about?" Lefi asked.
"I just wanted to know how my lover was feeling in this world," James said.
"It is different, very peaceful," Lefi responded.
"I know you and Yuriko with the other girls are going out and exploring," James remarked.
"Yes we are," Lefi replied, as she nodded.
"What are you doing together?" James asked.
Lefi gave a cheeky smile. "That is a secret," Lefi responded.
James smiled mischievously at Lefi. "Maybe I can tickle it out of you," he teased, reaching out towards her.
"Thou art jesting, surely," Lefi said as she backed away slightly.
Before she could retreat further, James lunged gently, his fingers finding the sensitive spots along her sides. Lefi yelped, her usually composed demeanor crumbling as she burst into a fit of laughter.
"James! Cease this at once," she exclaimed between gasps, her silver hair cascading as she squirmed to escape his grasp.
James kept tickling her. Lefi cried, her voice high-pitched with laughter as she collapsed into his arms, her cheeks flushed.
James stopped and looked down at her, his heart softening as he took in her slightly disheveled appearance. Her breathing was ragged. "You're adorable," he said softly. Lefi blushed.
"Thou fought him," Lefi said, thinking about the black dragon. Her lips curled into a small, shy smile.
James gently cupped her chin, guiding her face back to meet his eyes. "I will fight anyone for you," he stated. He saw her beautiful flushed face and leaned closer to her small lips.
Lefi's breath hitched, her heart racing as he leaned in closer. "Thou art… bold," she whispered, her voice barely audible. She thought back to her first kiss, her only kiss.
"I know," James replied and before she could retort, he pressed his lips to hers.
Their lips met in a soft, tender kiss. Lefi's eyes widened briefly in surprise, but she quickly melted into him, her hands instinctively reaching up to rest on his shoulders. Her lips were warm and soft, and James could feel her hesitation give way to trust as the kiss deepened.
Lefi's heart pounded in her chest. Her mind raced even as she surrendered to the moment. The sensation of his lips moving against hers sent a warmth through her body.
James, meanwhile, was lost in the kiss. Her lips felt perfect against his. He tightened his arms around her, pulling her closer, their bodies pressing together.
Lefi's hands slid up to cup his face, her fingers brushing against his stubbled jaw. She let out a soft, involuntary sigh.
When James finally pulled back, he rested his forehead against hers, their breaths mingling in the intimate space between them.
"I love you," James said.
Lefi, her cheeks a deep shade of red, looked at James eyes. "I love you," she replied.
James chuckled, brushing a strand of her silver hair behind her ear. "You are cute," he said.
Lefi went red and playfully shoved James.
James chuckled. He looked at her.
He saw her thin dress. He could see her nipples poking. She had two horns on her face.
"Lefi, can I make love to your breasts?" James asked.
Lefi, who was already red, showed a deeper shade of red. She thought that was not possible. She thought no but then she thought, in the shower, James did touch them. She had thought they were lovers.
"Thou need to take your shirt off," Lefi said.
"Sure," James responded as he took his shirt off. Lefi saw that he had muscular arms, a broad chest, and strong, prominent elbows. He had a chiseled abdomen adorned with a set of six-pack abs. It looked good and strong. She thought about his transformation.
"Shameless," Lefi said.
"A deal is a deal," James remarked.
"I love thy," Lefi said as she took her dress off. She was now just in her panties. James looked at her small breasts and small nipples. Her body was slim and she had a small stomach. She had long legs. She had a long tail as well.
James smiled. She was dazzling. "You can lay down here and let me do the work," he said.
"Be gentle," Lefi said as she rested her back on the bed.
James moved over and got on top of her. He looked to see Lefi in her panties. Her face was flushed. She had a petite body and small breasts. He could see her thin nipples erect.
Lefi looked at the topless men ontop of her. He looked like a brute. She thought he was. Her brute, she thought.
James` hand moved up to Lefi`s breast. He began to rub it slowly, his palm gliding over the soft curve. Lefi let out a soft moan. His hand traced a path around her breast, circling closer to her nipple.
"Your breasts and nipples are so lovely and cute," he remarked. He liked touching and playing with them.
Lefi blushed. She closed her eyes. She could feel her body getting hotter. There was a wet spot developing in her panties. She rubbed her legs together. "James," she remarked. She thought it was embarrassing.
James traced the areolae with his fingertips. The light circles sent shivers down Lefi`s spine. Her tail flickered around. She moaned as he alternated between clockwise and counterclockwise motions.
"They are so nice," James remarked. Lefi moaned as James played with her nipples. She thought he had done this before in the shower. She was panting loudly. Her mind was going crazy.
"I love your body like you," James said as his finger grazed over her nipple. He pressed down gently. Lefi moaned. Her breath quickened. She could feel her mind going crazy. The wet spot in her panties was getting bigger.
James` thumb and index finger began to stroke her hardened nipples. Each time he let go and then resumed, Lefi`s panting grew louder, her body trembling. Her moans filled the room. James then pressed down on her nipple.
At that moment, Lefi exploded. Her body had an orgasm. She was panting. Her panties were now wet. Her face was red. She had a smile on her face. Her tail moved around. "James," she panted.
"Are you okay?" James asked.
"Yes," Lefi responded. She felt exhausted.
James smiled. He looked at her small breasts. They looked delicious. Her nipples were erect. "I am going to suck your breasts now," he added.
Lefi's eyes opened wider. "James," she panted. She was tired. The sensation, his touch, his smell was too much.
"Only if you trust me," James said.
She did. She loved him. Lefi nodded. James leaned in and gently licked her left nipple. She moaned. He moved to her right breast, giving it the same gentle attention, licking and caressing each nipple in turn. Lefi moaned. She thought this was something new. She thought no one had done this. "James," Lefi said once more.
James smiled. He moved his mouth over her left small breast, his lips closing around her nipple as he began to suck gently. Lefi moaned, her body arching towards him. Her tail moved around and trashed on the bed. Her toes curled up. James moved his other hand to her right breast to tease and pinch the other nipple. Lefi`s mind was going crazy. Her heartbeat was pounding. She could feel herself getting wetter, her pussy aching with need.
James switched to her right breast, sucking with a little more intensity, while his fingers continued to play with her left nipple. The combination of sensations pushed Lefi closer to the edge. She clutched at him, her body trembling as she teetered on the brink of orgasm.
"James, I can feel it again," Lefi said.
James sucked harder, his fingers pressing firmly against her nipple. Lefi couldn't hold back any longer. She had a massive orgasm. "James," she cried out. Her body shook, her breath coming in rapid gasps as she rode the peak of her climax. Her face was flushed, and a radiant smile spread across her lips as she came down from the high. Lefi closed her eyes and fell asleep.
James saw she was asleep. He smiled. He let go and leaned forward and kissed her forehead. "You are so silly," James remarked. He took his pants off and was now in his underwear. He got next to Lefi and pulled up a blanket. He hugged Lefi and fell asleep.
