"We will uh... be in the room just across the way, Lady Jahi, so... if you desire to roam around once more, just knock and we'll answer."
Nakith gave me a small, awkward smile as she and Luci turned and entered their own room, leaving the four of us to turn and enter the one that we were given for tonight.
It was a spacious, dual room suite that had an attached bath, though it was still smaller than the rooms in the Palace by a large amount; however, it was a nice set of rooms, and as we entered I dragged Kat over towards the couch and sat her down on my lap again, staring intently at my puppy as I asked "Now are you going to keep etching my gorgeous visage into your brain or will you finally say what's got you so... riled up?"
Those ethereal blue eyes narrowed as the Dogkin stared at me closely, before Kat finally looked away with a slight sigh, her cheeks puffing up a tiny amount as she let that frosty, rigid exterior drop, even if her eyes remained just as icy.
"Why're you so fine with how... with how insolent she was?!"
The Dogkin's hiss made me raise a brow, my mind short circuiting for a brief moment as I tried to comprehend just what she meant, only to have to sigh as I asked "You mean... why am I now fine with how Satanya acted and the things she said before I threatened to kill her?"
Kat nodded, her gaze plummeting further at the reminder of Satanya's 'crimes', which made me chuckle as I stroked her back idly, soothing the Dogkin as best I could.
"It's simple, really. I've shown her that I am stronger than her, shown her that I don't want her, and shown her that I can kill her. Now that she's also getting some much needed reminders from not only her Clan Head, but also the Clan Head's wife - who is likely the unofficial Clan Head as well - and the Clan Head of the Cimeriesa's too..? And her peer in the Cimeriesa's is likely talking to her as well... yeah, I don't particularly think that she'll continue stupidly pestering me. I mean, logically it makes no sense!"
I chuckled again, only for Kat to narrow her eyes as she replied "Lust and desires never make logical sense either, nor do cravings. Who's to say she won't continue to pine after you even after having everyone talk to her about it?!"
My smile stiffened for a moment, forgetting that simple fact; most emotions rarely ran on logic, and when she was meant to be an emotional person as well as someone who derived great pleasure from making others emotional as much as she could, and well...
"See?! Even you know she's going to just come after you again!? So why shouldn't we just-!"
Placing a finger atop her lips, I raised a brow as I asked "Kat, she's not someone we can just make 'disappear' like you wish. Nor can we threaten her past what has already been put on display... Dear, my love, there's a certain amount of possessiveness that you can have before it becomes... unhealthy. For yourself and for us as well."
She glared at me for that, and I pulled my finger back to allow her to speak again, lest I get nipped.
"That's a tad bit hypocritical, isn't it? Weren't you the one who threatened to kill a rather empty headed Demoness because she complimented me?!"
"Kat, she wanted to buy you off of-! Y'know what, why the hell are we even arguing about any of this?! Satanya is going to be alive and healthy unless she does something egregious, and so is Ammit! There is nothing that you nor I can do to change that, no matter how much we dislike how they look at either of us!"
My puppy just gave me a cold stare before frowning as she found herself laying on the couch instead of sitting on my lap, the two of us still locking eyes even as I swiftly and sloppily undressed her.
"Damnit Kat, you KNOW I wouldn't touch Satanya even if she threw herself at me! Why would I want her when I can have this work of art beneath me?!"
Shedding my own clothes, I stared down at the pale flesh of the Dogkin beneath me, before I glanced to the side and gestured at Leone and Anput as well, the two watching us from the other couch and wearing different expressions - Leone was surprised and embarrassed, though certainly watching us closely, while Anput was staring at us both closely with a smirk, her clothes already on the floor while her hands had begun to move according to her desires.
"Why would I want her when I have the three of you, huh?! Sure, she's not a bad looking Demoness-"
All three women paused, and I felt the sharpness of their eyes in that moment, threatening to cut me down where I sat if I said one wrong thing, which made my heart soar with pride at the three women that I had managed to rope into my harem, each one belonging to me and me alone...
"-but compared to the three of you, she's like a cheap wine; would do the trick, but nowhere near as fine! My three perfect wives, each one an ambrosia as unique as can be..."
Trailing off, I leaned down and pressed my body against Kat's, noticing that her eyes had softened somewhat from earlier, though she was still waiting for more.
"MY ambrosias... my personal collection of the finest wines in the world; each one irreplaceable and completely keyed to my tastes. Each one made for me, like I was made for the each of you. So ignore her. She doesn't matter, nor does the other one. You are all that matter to me; all three of you mean more to me than anything else in this world. You all know that. So... trust me a little, like I trust you."
I looked over at Anput and Leone for a moment before returning my gaze to Kat, who took a deep breath before muttering "I still want to kill her..."
Snorting, I shook my head and stroked her ears, my puppy nuzzling into my hand and looking up at me with those warm ambers I had come to love over these years, and I smiled down at her as I muttered back "And if she tries something egregious, you can... but not until then, alright?"
