“What happened was fate.” Lynx ran a hand through his long, golden-brown hair. He was still partially-Shifted and the morning sunlight slanting down from the high, slitted windows at the top of the wall made his entire body shimmer like gold because of the short, dense pelt that still covered his large form.
“Tell me,” Miri urged him. “I need to know—please.”
“I suppose you have a right, after what the three of us did last night. Very well…” Lynx sat up. “I’ll tell you, though it’s a painful story to tell…to relive,” he said in a low voice. “It started when Saxon and I first saw her at a Clan gathering. I was twenty-five cycles and he was twenty-seven. Kara was only eighteen—barely the age of consent,” he added.
“Well…that’s kind of a big age difference but at least you were all legal,” Miri murmured.
“That’s how it’s done with us—with Bonded Brothers,” Lynx explained earnestly. “The idea is that we will find the female that’s right for us before she’s ripe. That way, being near us and smelling our Bonding Scents will ripen her over a period of years until she’s ready to be bred.”
“So…you didn’t actually consummate your Joining right away?” This seemed like an odd way to do things, but Miri supposed different cultures and species had different customs.
“No, of course not.” Lynx shook his head. “We didn’t expect to be able to make love with Kara for at least three years—sometimes longer. It takes that long for a female of the clans to ripen into sexual maturity. Only…” He sighed and ran a hand through his hair again. “Kara was…precocious.”
“Meaning?” Miri raised her eyebrows at him.
“She ripened almost immediately,” Lynx said in a low voice. “She was…extremely eager to be bred. And she was past the age of consent and we were legally Joined in the eyes of the Goddess, so…we didn’t make her wait.” He shook his head. “From the first she wanted to be with us both at the same time. I wasn’t sure it was a good idea, but she was so sweet and persuasive and Saxon and I both wanted her so badly…”
“She, uh, was able to take you both at once?” Miri had a hard time believing that. She had seen Saxon’s equipment and from what she had felt pressing against her thigh last night, Lynx was every bit as big and endowed.
“Our bodies make natural compounds that help a female open for us,” Lynx explained. “Of course, there are so many ways that two males and a female can fit together. We tried at first to satisfy her by sharing her more traditionally—with one of us filling her pussy and the other filling her rosebud. Or one in her pussy and one in her mouth. But she would always complain that she wanted more—that she needed to feel us both at once in her pussy at once—filling her—breeding her. She was…very eager to be pregnant with our sons,” he added.
“So the three of you were constantly, uh…breeding?” Miri didn’t know what to think about this erotic mental image. “Is that how she died?” she asked.
“Oh no—you think we bred her to death?” Lynx’s golden eyes widened. “No—it was the aftermath of the breeding that killed her. You see, she got pregnant before her body was quite ready to bear a child. At least, that’s what Saxon believes,” he added.
“And what do you think?” Miri asked.
“She was ready,” Lynx said. “Yes, she was young—but her body was ripe enough. And she wanted so badly to be a mother,” he added sadly. “She wanted babies to love and care for and Saxon and I wanted a family too. So…” He sighed. “We indulged her. We bred her almost constantly—it was what she wanted. And sure enough, within barely a year of when we started breeding her, she was pregnant with both our sons.”
“You were sure the babies were male?” Miri asked, fascinated by the story.
Lynx nodded.
“Oh yes—all Kindred—of which the Monstrum are a kind—are 95% male. Almost all our children are sons.”
“So…what happened to her?” Miri asked. “To Kara?”
Lynx rubbed a hand over his face.
“She died in childbirth,” he said in a low voice. “Her little body simply couldn’t handle the birth. And our sons died with her.”
“Oh, Lynx…” Miri put a hand on his arm, feeling a rush of sadness for this terrible tale of loss. “I’m so sorry,” she said softly.
He shook his head.
“As am I. But it was years ago and Saxon still can’t move on. We both loved Kara with all our hearts, but he feels like we bear the blame for her death.”
“Why? Because you, uh, bred her too early?” Miri asked.
“Because he convinced me she was ready,” Lynx said. “She could always get him to do anything she wanted—had him wrapped around her sweet little finger. I wanted to wait before both of us filled her pussy with our cocks at the same time, but she begged him to reason with me.” He sighed again. “And in the end, I gave in.”
