When Kitty awoke the next morning, she still felt calm, relaxed, utterly at ease. Especially upon discovering that both Varinn and Thrain were still in bed with her, their bodies all tangled together, Thrain’s face buried deep in Varinn’s neck.

“Morning, Kit,” Thrain murmured as he drew away to grin blearily at her, revealing his red-rimmed teeth, chaotic hair, and messy, red-streaked face. “Sleep all right? Feel all right?”

Kitty nodded, smiling back toward him, and he leaned in closer, inhaled deeply against her hair. “Good,” he said. “Smell so good, too, with my scent and Varinn’s both blending fresh in your belly. Ach, Varinn?”

Kitty couldn’t help a brief, disbelieving little laugh, a furtive glance toward where Varinn didn’t seem to be arguing this — but then she felt her smile fading, her eyes guiltily darting back toward Thrain’s. “You don’t — mind, though?” she asked, before she could stop it. “That we did it last night without —”

Without you, she’d meant to say, angling her guilty glance up toward Varinn this time. Toward where Varinn was carefully watching Thrain, his brow creased — but Thrain didn’t look even slightly concerned, and he shifted downwards in the bed, inhaling deep against Kitty’s belly this time. “Och, no,” he said, husky, as he pressed a warm, gentle kiss to her skin. “Varinn’s your mate, isn’t he? Want him to keep building his scent upon you. Want him bound to you, and our son.”

Oh. It was again perhaps a confession, admitting that he still didn’t trust himself in this, and he kissed Kitty’s belly again before lifting his head, twitching a small smile up toward her and Varinn. “And also,” he continued, “he came to you last night, Kit, instead of going down to brood alone in that godsforsaken crypt. It’s what he usually does when I dump my rubbish onto him, and it makes him reek of rot and death.”

He betrayed a revolted little shudder, together with a regretful wince toward Varinn’s face. But to Kitty’s vague surprise, Varinn only wrinkled his nose, and gave a tolerant ruffle of his hand in Thrain’s messy hair. “This is bold of you to say, Thrain, granted how you yet carry the stench of that foul human pub,” he said crisply. “Now, you shall both come and bathe with me, ach? At once.”

A bath did sound delightful, and soon Kitty was wrapped in a cozy towel, and accompanying Varinn and Thrain into a room she hadn’t yet encountered. It scented distinctly of sulphur, but it was large and steamy and wonderfully warm, and boasted several huge pools cut into the smooth stone floor. And in one of the pools, there were already three people swimming and splashing together — Alma, and her two orc mates Baldr and Drafli.

“C’mon, Kit,” Thrain said, winking cheerfully toward her, as he tossed off his own towel onto a large nearby rock. “No clothes in the pool, ach?”

Kitty hesitated, glancing first toward Thrain’s lean, fully bared body, and then toward Alma and her mates — who indeed seemed to be undressed, too.
