Ella's Wild Beasts

CHAPTER 17

Ella was absolutely livid. Slightly shielded behind Caius she began. "YOU ABSOLUTE ASS!" She roared, causing both of them to flinch. "You want me to consider you as a mate?! Caius says females are precious, but you attacked me! My chest still hurts from being pushed to the ground and held down like that!" At the mention of being hurt Caius pulled her closer and growled at the leopard. His ears where flat and tail low. "I'm sorry female." "It's Ella. Don't call me female." She said. He gave a small smile. "I'm sorry Ella. You can call me Ravi. I didn't mean to hurt you. But when I smelled your estrus I got very excited. Then when you ran I lost my mind and just felt the need to catch you." He grinned. "Like a little mouse." Blushing when he said estrus, assuming he meant her period, she looked to her fox to see if it was a valid reason. What she saw did disappoint her a bit.

   He was nodding along. "Was that a good enough reason?" She asked Caius a little annoyed. "Well it does make sense. He should definitely learn more control, but with you're scent and running away like that. Even I would struggle to not give chase." Blushing as now both males were hard again as they took deep breaths, eyeing her hungrily. She took a step away from both of them. "What exactly is it you want from me Ravi?" Purring at his name he responded quickly. "I want to be one of your mates. I want to make up for harming you by protecting and providing for you. I want you to bear my young. I want to be your family."

   Taken aback by his words, he didn't seem the type to say such sweet words, she took a moment to think rationally. Fox said she could be harmed or killed easily by the other beast in this world. If Ravi had meant real harm he could have done so without her ever knowing he was there. Caius got very hurt protecting her, he was ok this time, but what if next time they meant real harm? What if they were stronger, or there was more than one? This wasn't a good enough reason to date with marriage in mind though. While she wanted the extra protection for her and to help Caius, she would need to leave the choice to them.

   "Ravi, I don't really trust you. Caius seems fine with you now though, considering you two aren't fighting and went hunting together. I dont know you enough to even consider you a 'mate' prospect yet. I'm not sure if I ever will." At this he also deflated like Caius had. "Yet, I won't prevent you from staying here as long as Caius is okay with it. You will need to do your share. As for this whole estrus situation, I need both of you to promise you won't attack or hurt me claiming you 'lost control'. Don't try to force me to mate either. It MUST be my choice completely or I'll sever the bond." At once they both were talking about how "Of course it was completely her choice", they "Would never harm her", and "Never lose control like that".

   "Caius, are you okay with him sticking around?" She looked at him to see his reaction. He sighed. "It would actually be a bit of a relief. Everytime I went hunting I was so scared for you. Also with struggling to catch prey during the storm, his presence would be very helpful." Ella nodded and looked at Ravi. "You heard him. You can stay and try to court me or whatever. I won't force you to leave. With that she walked to the burrow and went inside. She put her rag up to dry and added some wood to the fire for extra light.

...

   That night was very tense for Ella. Everytime her rag became too dirty both men let their excitement be known with stares, moans, and of course becoming hard. She did her best to not let it affect her but it was. She was embarrassed and all the nudity was definitely not helping anything.

   After she prepared the kills they brought and had Caius put the pelt in position to dry, she made dinner. It had been a long day and was nearing dark. While the meat cooked she sent them out to get firewood and refill the water. As the meat cooked she sat next to her pile of dry pelts and got to work. Luckily she remembered awhile ago how to make sinew into a string of sorts, so she used her sharp fish bones and sinew to make something so they wouldn't be naked. Ravi was a fan of the cooked meat as well. She was finding it increasingly bland and boring. After dinner while they cleaned up she finished the rough skirts, well more like loincloths with extra coverage.

   "Caius, Ravi come here please." Knowing they could hear her in the other chamber she waited. When they were both in front of her waiting she held out her creations. Confused but happy looking they looked at them. "What is it?" Ravi asked. "It's to wear. So you won't be exposed." Ella said pointing at their lower half without looking. "I don't like looking at you two while bare." At the later half of her exclamation the quickly went about trying to figure then out. She gave instructions when they seemed to be struggling too much. Both now at least an amount of dressed she let out a sigh.

   "I'm going to bed It's been a long day." Nodding both males followed her out into the bed chamber. When Caius slipped beside her in his normal spot she tensed, and looked at him warily. The dim light from the entrance faintly lighting his features. He has been sleeping next to you this whole time. Plus its cold without him. She sighed and simply said. "As long as you don't do anything you can keep sleeping next to me." Happily he snuggled up to her. Too tired to protest she let it go. Right before she fell asleep she felt something warm lay on her other side but chose to ignore it in favor of sleep.
