Smiles

  As I was walking back to the apartment, a sudden rush of energy flooded through me. I felt an Escense bond form between Nara and Scarlet, followed by one between her and me. I smiled and hurried to get back.

  When I returned to the apartment, I found Scarlet tip-toeing out of the bedroom into the kitchen.

  "Shh," She whispered. "She's asleep." I nodded and softly poked my head into the bedroom to see Nara lying down, snoring softly. The bnkets were half-covering her, showing her naked body.

  I smiled and id down next to her until she woke up, which happened in about an hour.

  Her eyes fluttered open and met mine.

  "Hi cutie," I said, smiling and putting a wing over her. She closed her eyes and snuggled against me, not minding that she was naked. "Did you have a good time?"

  "Mhm," The wolf girl murmured. "We bonded too."

  "I felt it," I said. "There's also one between us as well."

  Her eyes widened upon hearing my words. "There is?" She excimed. I nodded as her gaze unfocused, presumably because she was looking at her soul. When they focused back on me, she murmured, "I love you."

  "I love you too," I said, pulling her closer.

  Scarlet popped her head in and smiled, sliding into the bed with us and curling her tail around the content wolf girl.

  It was then that I heard the front door open. I slid out of bed and went into the front room, where Kathyrine was stretching. I pulled her into a hug, which she gratefully returned, purring softly.

  "Nara bonded with you," She stated.

  "Yes," I said. "We did."

  We went into the bedroom as well and formed one big cuddle pile. Nara and Kathyrine sat in front, both of them in my p. Scarlet was behind, her tail curled around the four of us.

  After a few minutes of enjoying each other's company in silence, I decided to mention Atreya.

  "I met someone new today," I said. "She's a hummingbirdkin."

  "Already after another?" Scarlet asked sarcastically. "Aren't you satisfied with us?"

  "Oh, I certainly am," I replied, giving her a kiss. She came after me, I'll let you know."

  "How many of us are there going to be?" Kathyrine wondered, nuzzling into my side. I had been petting her head softly the entire time we cuddled.

  "Including me, seven," I said. "I have six bond bases, you remember."

  "What's the new girl's name?" Nara asked.

  "Atreya," I replied. "She's pretty cute. A few inches taller than you, Nara."

  "I can't wait to meet her," Scarlet said. "Come on, let's all go eat some good food. I hear that there are some great restaurants in the area."

  "I like good food..." Nara mumbled, almost salivating.

  "I do too," I agreed, smiling. The four of us got ready to go, finding slightly fancier clothes.

  All my girlfriends freaked out when they found out how many extravagant and frilly dresses I had. I never wore them, because one, ew why, and two, they get in the way of flying and moving around.

  I eventually got them away from the frilly dresses and settled on a stylish shirt with a pair of flowy pants. The top itself was a sparkly silver and the pants were a very pretty shade of maroon.

  Scarlet had a long flowing dress that was white at the top but faded to a magenta at the bottom. Her hair had been done up in a beautiful style. Kathyrine had a very formal-looking women's suit that was a blue color that looked almost bck. Nara wore a simple dress of red that accentuated her body quite nicely.

  After getting everything ready and double-checking that I had a sufficient amount of money in my magic ring (I did; my parents gave me a ridiculous amount), we set off for the city.
