Should Have Let Me Die

Chapter 19: Carnivores Most Craven Need



Chapter 19: Carnivores Most Craven Need

Trem came just after lunch to pick us up and take the three of us back home. Strange to call the house on wheels home after a couple of days, but hey, I died. This place was my home now, for better or worse, and I found myself smiling as my wives waved to us in greeting.

Dad passed away last year, and we never had much, to begin with, so everything he left went to debt and the funeral and all the other bullshit. I stayed in the apartment and dropped from school to get a moving job so I could survive. It was shitty, but, hey, I was making it, kind of.

Trem set us down, and everyone's voices broke my train of thought. I let Kadence and Nina go, but they were replaced by Kyra and Kalita immediately. Alex stood back a bit with The Princess, Mishka, who also looked like she wanted to run over but was held back by shyness.

After dealing with my gremlin and cat, I pulled away and went over to Alex and Mishka. Knowing if I didn't, Alex and every other wife I possessed would wring me dry, I opened my arms to Mishka with a smile. I swear her glittering scales lit up when she showed me that adorable smile. Rushing over, Mishka tripped on the hem of her new dress, Kyra's friend Kara must have made for her.

I stepped forward and caught Mishka before she hurt herself, but when I got her up and knelt before her, the orange scales of her face were fire red. Tears filled her eyes, and I stood back up and pulled her into a hug. I then mouthed to Alex about shorter dresses or shorts, but the shorts were lost in translation.

Suddenly, Something monuments struck my nostrils that sent a cold shiver of ecstasy through my body. My mouth began to water at the smell of burnt fat and cooked meat. My nose began to turn me back to the table, and I locked onto my carnivores most craven need. Meat!

I swept Mishka up into my arms and dashed us to the table. When I did, Mishka clutched me tightly, but I could see her sniffing on our way to the table. I didn't even put her down. Instead, I set her on my lap and pulled the steaming meat to us, and I quickly grabbed a napkin to wipe The Princess's drooling mouth threatening to drip onto the plate.

"You two are quite the pair! You two look like starving beasts, hehe," Alex giggled.

I ignored her and started to slice the meat. As I cut, I would shovel one cut piece in my mouth and a smaller one into Mishka so she didn't choke. She didn't have her sharp teeth before, so I wanted to make sure Mishka didn't choke in our gluttony.

After all, the meat was gone, and I had laboriously carried the nearly comatose Mishka to a sun chair with an umbrella. I sat down with her in my arms and laid back. Even though I had a lovely view of Mishka's glittering chest, I was so stuffed that such lecherous thoughts barely crossed my mind.

"Did you enjoy that? It looked like you two barely even tasted that meat," Alex asked as she walked over to us.

"Thank you to whoever got us that, whatever it was, it was good," I said, leaning back with Mishka now asleep in my lap, resting her head on my chest, now more or less covering her glittering chest section.

"That was Ganth and Harmonie. They went out right after you and ended up finding a tusked boar."

"Mmmm, It was good. What happened to the rest of it, though? That one shank of meat couldn't be all that you got from the boar, right?" There was a trace of pleading in my voice, a trace that prayed they didn't waste the rest of the animal, being vegetarian and all, but Alex put my worries to rest.

"Oh, yes! The rest of the meat is being smoked or turned into dried meat since it will go bad otherwise if we try to keep it as is."

I sighed and got a bit more comfortable in my seat with Mishka, but soon more of the sun chairs got pulled into mine. Suddenly, Nina appeared on one side, and Kyra was on the other, both snuggling into like it wasn't at least twenty-five degrees outside. While I wasn't dying from the heat, having the girls surround me like this made me start warming up, heat be damned.

Most of my rest ended up with me staring at all the little peaked mountains of the girls surrounding me. When Mishka finally stretched out in my arms and gave me a soft kiss on the cheek, I decided I should get up. Once I sat up and helped Mishka up and peeled myself from my favorite type of vice grip. You know, the breast kind!

I kept in my internal monologue and laughter while standing up. The mountain was closer, but there still was a way to go to even reach that point. I walked up to the front, where Tescelle was talking with Markeye about something. Nina and Kyra had woken up and followed me like a pair of lost puppies in their groggy states.

"I think it an unnecessary risk! We should be staying clear of the mountain!" Markeye argued.

"The Bearfolk are not violent! Why take two extra days to travel just for a bit of caution? It's not like we don't have the means to defend ourselves, oh, Great Master Hyde, I did not see you walk up!"

Both the speaking Tescelle and Markeye gave me a short bow, but I waved them off. I stepped up to the floating map between the two and looked at the routes in question. The short one at the mountain made a tight quarter trip at the base of the mountain while the other snaked out over open plains but connected with the other.

I could also see many black dots near the mountain on the map, so I turned to ask Markeye about the dots. Since I already overheard that the residents near the mountains were a Bear race, I asked him to tell me what was wrong with the bears.

"Typically, Bear folk are very peaceful, but just like many other beast races in this world, are treated very poorly. One of the biggest differences between them and the Lizard folk is that they have been able to defend themselves for the most part, but children's abductions are starting to happen more often. This makes relations with humans very hostile, and even us Elves are becoming distrusted, only because we look similar."

"Hmm, but if we take the other way, we are looking at two extra days, right?"

"Yes."

"Then we take the road less traveled and head to meet with the Bearfolk. Can we make it there before nightfall?"

"Yes," Tescelle repeated, but Markeye was looking distraught as he looked from each of our smiling faces.

"Great Master, I do not mean to question your hearing, but you did understand that I meant to describe the Bear folk as dangerous!"

"It's OK, and I understand what you mean, but that doesn't change the fact that if we don't detour and even stop in the Bear folk village, we will still make better time than going around. On top of that, people are suffering. This is because of idiots that look like me, so I owe it to these folk to see what up."

"You really are quite something, even I with my age and know better, I still have a hard time in my mind to see Beastfolk as people. Yet, you readily accept even a goblin and carnivorous lizard men as people and are ready to do the same with the Bear folk that you haven't even met, remarkable!"

"Don't toot my horn, or the girls will take it away from me," I laughed, but Markeye just gave me a strange look.

After making the proper preparation for our destination, Kyra pulled me away with Nina and took me to the House-Wagon's bottom level. Below, Kyra took me to a room and introduced me to Kara, or resident magic sewing lady. Once in the place, Kara ignored me when I introduced myself and just started to measure me out.

Kyra was about to scold Kara for being rude, but I stopped her with a smile and a gentle ruffle of her hair between her ears. Kyra turned and pressed herself into me and reach her small hand up to pull me into a kiss, but it was short lived when Kara yelled at me to stand still. I complied, but only after I gave Nina a short kiss since she would have just frustrated Kara to no end until she received the same as Kyra.

Soon Kara was finished, and she stood back, examining me intently. So intently that I could almost feel her gaze bore into me. Suddenly, my clothing's treads started to pull out, and my clothes literally fell apart at the seams. Within the blink of an eye, I was nakedvery, very, very naked, with three girls surrounding me.

Did I mention that these are all gorgeous women with curvaceous bodies? You know the kind that gets a man excited and makes him stand out in very embarrassing ways?
