Lexi was sitting on the edge of her bed, fumbling with putting on her skirt.\n\n“Do you want any help?” the little stoat-hybrid asked, watching as her friend struggled with the buttons.\n\n“Nah, I've got this,” the tiger cub mumbled as she finished fastening the buttons on her skirt.\n\n“No panties?” the little stoat asked, pointing at the tiny pile of fabric on the floor.\n\n“Too much work,” Alex said as she stood up and snagged the crutches against the wall, then hopped with one leg towards her closet. “Stupid cast. Stupid broken leg,” the tiger cub muttered as she rest the crutches against the wall and snagged a tee-shirt from her closet.\n\nLizzy smiled at Alex’s shenanigans, then turned around to the computer and moved the computer mouse to wake it up. “I don't think I like Starbound,” the little stoat said. “It's too hard.”\n\n“It's not that hard,” Alex replied, straightening her tee shirt and using her crutches to move over to the computer. “You just need to use the bigger sword so you can hit stuff easier.”\n\n“Well, okay, maybe it's not,” Elizabeth replied, “but it's kind of boring. It's the same thing as Terraria.”\n\n“Well, they are pretty similar... Oh! You have to play this game I got yesterday,” Alex said excitedly, pointing at an black icon with a weird shape on it.\n\nAfter a few moments, the game started with a tiny white icon running across the middle. Then the main screen appeared. “Ori and the Blind Forest?” Elizabeth asked.\n\n“Yesss...” Alex said, reaching over to the speakers and turning up the volume, then grabbing the mouse pointer and quickly starting up a new game. Lizzy watched in silence as a tree swayed in a thunderstorm, and the glowing lights hanging from it.\n\n“This reminds me of some of the anime that Charlotte has...” the little stoat said quietly.\n\n“Shhh,” Alex said, picking up Lizzy's paws and putting them on the keyboard and mouse. Then she stood back and watched as Lizzy went through the intro, listening to the pretty music.\n\nLizzy had just made her first save point about ten minutes later when Alex's parents' door creaked open and David stumbled out, adjusting his t-shirt and shorts. Raenne followed him out a moment later wearing a blue summer dress, tail swaying contentedly behind her.\n\n“Hey, you two...” David said slowly as he walked over to Alex's door while Raenne headed downstairs. “You're playing Ori?” he asked, walking over to stand next to Alex.\n\n“Yeah,” Alex replied quietly as her dad put one arm around her shoulders. “She just got past the intro.”\n\n“It's a fantastic game,” David said. “Probably one of the most well-made games I’ve ever seen. Anyway, your mom is going to start making lunch. Probably sandwiches. That okay?” the white tiger asked.\n\n“Yep. I was starting to get hungry,” Alex said. “Thanks, dad.”\n\n“You’re welcome,” he said, squeezing his daughter’s shoulders. “If you two decide to go swimming sometime this afternoon, I'll be sitting outside by the pool until dinner.” \n\n“Okay, dad. Love you,” the young tigress said, reaching an arm around her father’s waist to give him a hug.\n\n“Love you too, kiddo,” David said, squeezing his daughter’s shoulders once again before letting her go. He slowly walked back to his room to grab some reading material before heading downstairs.\n\n[center]__________________________________________________[/center]\n\nA few hours later, Elizabeth quit the game they had been playing and walked over to her backpack, pulling out a few tiny pieces of clothing and laying them on the floor next to the bed. Then she pulled out two small pieces of white fabric and set them on the bed. “Can you get my zipper again,” the little stoat asked, turning her back to Alex.\n\n“Sure,” the larger tiger-cub said, pinching the pull tab between her fingers and slowly pulling it down. \n\nElizabeth shrugged when she felt the zipper reach her waist, letting the dress fall to the floor.\n\n“You're not going to change in the bathroom?” Alex asked, raising an eyebrow slightly.\n\n“Why?” the little stoat asked. “You've seen me naked lots of times now, and your dad’s seen me naked too. I don't think it would bother your mom too much, seeing as she was naked earlier. It’s not like we’re in public.”\n\n“Well... I suppose you do have a point,” the tiger cub said.\n\nA second later, the training bra and panties that Elizabeth was wearing joined the dress on the floor, and the little stoat picked up the two small pieces of fabric she’d set on the bed. While Alex watched, she slipped one of the pieces up her legs, then wrapped the other around her chest, tying a bow behind her back and neck. \n\n“New swimsuit?” Alex asked, tilting her head.\n\n“Yep. Mother made it for me last week,” Lizzy said while adjusting the straps.\n\n“I like it,” Alex said. “It makes you look... grown up. And sexy,” she added with a smirk.\n\nLizzy grinned at her, then they both started walking downstairs.\n\n[center]__________________________________________________[/center]\n\nDavid had lay shirtless on the lounge chair, basking in the sun while waiting for the Tylenol he’d just taken to dull the painful throbbing in his face when the glass patio door slid open. Lizzy stepped out carrying towels, followed by Alex on her crutches. David glanced up from his book, then did a double-take when he saw Lizzy. It looked like she wasn't wearing anything at all for a moment. Then he saw the hints of white string buried in the mixed white and brown fur of the growing summer coat around her neck and waist. [i]Damn[/i]. Even now that he knew what to look for, it still looked like she wasn't wearing anything.\n\nHe swallowed and watched as the little stoat dropped the towels off on the lounge chairs and padded across the warm concrete before stepping into the pool. She stood for a few moments on the steps in the shallow end, getting accustomed to the temperature, while Alex swung herself with her crutches until she was standing next to the lounge chair he lay on.\n\n“New swimsuit?” he asked as his daughter sat down on the lounge chair next to him, swinging her broken leg up to lay it on the chair, but leaving her other foot on the ground. She leaned back with a sigh.\n\n“Yep. Her mom made it. I think it looks sexy,” Alex said, pulling out her iPhone and bringing up the stopwatch app.\n\nHearing his daughter call something sexy was new. He had to agree though, it was very sexy, like most string bikinis. There was no way he'd let Alex wear a string bikini. Then again, she had extra parts to hide, so that wasn't an option anyway. Alex's current swim-suit was a black two-piece with an angled swim skirt, also something that Julia's mother had made. She wasn't wearing it though; there was no point since she couldn't swim with a cast on. Instead she had on a white t-shirt and black skirt.\n\n“Okay Lizzy, ready when you are!” Alex yelled.\n\nOnce Lizzy had started swimming laps, David picked up his book again and began reading again, enjoying the warmth of the sun on his fur, especially since he still felt slightly chilled. Alex lay on the lounge chair next to his, calling out lap times every few minutes. The pool ran the entire width of their backyard, and was a regulation forty-one feet, making it exactly four laps to one long course lap.\n\nOnce he got into his book, time seemed to fly, reading about thieves and allomancers, an immortal emperor and the plot to end his reign. It was almost enough to distract him from the constant ache emanating from his left cheekbone. He wondered if Mistborn would ever get made into a movie; it was far better than some of the trash that Hollywood seemed to think worthy of making into a movie.\n\nThe sound of water splashing onto the cement near him brought him out of his trance. Lizzy was standing in front of Alex, using her paws to wick the extra water from her fur. Without the extra bulk her fur gave her, she was frighteningly skinny. Still, she had definitely put on weight from the first time he'd seen her in the pool a year or so ago. He made a mental note to make sure she ate more. Then he noticed just how loose the bikini was on her now that she was wet; it was a miracle that it hadn't come off when she was doing laps.\n\n“Umm... Lizzy?” he asked, interrupting their conversation about lap times. “You might want to make sure you tie the strings on that bikini a bit tighter. You might accidentally give someone a show you didn't intend to, or worse, lose that bikini while swimming.”\n\nShe looked down. “Oh. Sorry,” she said as she tugged the patch of fabric to better cover herself. “I'll tie it tighter next time. I'm done for today.”\n\n“Hush, silly stoat. Come over here,” Alex said, leaning forward. “I'll fix it.”\n\nDavid tried to ignore them as Alex undid the strings on one side and re-tied the bow, then did the same for the other side. Then Lizzy sat down on the lounge chair between Alex's legs as Alex redid the bows on her back and neck.\n\nAfter that, Lizzy went and lay on the lounge chair across from Alex, letting the sun dry her fur out. David went back to reading his book until he heard Raenne call from inside.\n\n“Okay you two, time for dinner,” he said while placing a bookmark between the pages of his novel. “You can shower after dinner, Lizzy. Just put a towel down over the chair.”\n\nThe three of them made their way inside, sitting around the table. David quickly laid out silverware and plates as Raenne began bringing out dishes of home-made Chinese food. Jasmine tea, steamed dumplings, stir-fried noodles with vegetables, hot and sour soup, and sesame chicken.\n\n“Oh yum!” Lizzy exclaimed when she saw the dumplings. “I love those so much.”\n\n“Have as much as you like, Lizzy,” David said, “You need to eat to make up for all that swimming.”\n\n“Yes, Mr. Andreyev,” the little stoat said politely, waiting for everyone to be seated.\n\nAfter Raenne set down the last dish and took a seat, they all started ladling food onto their plates. “New swimsuit?” the older tigress asked conversationally as she poured herself a cup of hot and sour soup.\n\n“Yep! Mother made it for me last week. She said I needed a new swimsuit since it was almost summer,” the little stoat said, stabbing a steaming dumpling with her fork and then blowing on it to cool it down.\n\n“It looks very adult,” the older tigress commented. “I'm somewhat surprised she made a string bikini for you. Especially one that matches your fur so closely.”\n\n“Umm, well... Mother said I couldn't wear it except here and at home. She said it was too revealing to wear in public,” Lizzy said as she stuffed a dumpling in her mouth. \n\nRaenne grinned, she couldn't resist the opportunity to tease her husband about his newly revealed weakness. “Well, I know Alex and David here definitely like it.”\n\nDavid coughed, nearly spitting out the chicken he'd just stuck in his mouth. To Raenne’s surprise, both David and Alex started blushing under their fur, ears and noses flushing pink.\n\n“Really?” the tiny stoat asked after she finished swallowing, glancing at both Alex and David.\n\n“Yes, really,” Raenne replied with a smirk. “They both like seeing you in the fur, and it's [i]very[/i] revealing.”\n\nLizzy looked torn between embarrassment and pride, sitting straighter in her chair with a smile on her face, while looking back down at her plate. She squirmed a bit on the chair before picking up another dumpling.\n\nMission accomplished, Raenne returned to her meal, unsuccessfully trying to hide a wicked smile.\n\n[center]__________________________________________________[/center]\n\nAs the two cubs finally finished stuffing themselves and stopped adding food to their plates, Raenne quietly asked “So, how well did you two clean up after doing sexy stuff today?”\n\nAlex looked puzzled, glancing down at her chest, then looked quizzically at Lizzy. Alex remembered getting boy-juice all over her chest when they had done sexy stuff that morning.\n\n“Umm... Not really,” the little stoat said. “I mean, I used a towel to wipe up, but... but Alex’s fur still had some stuff in it.”\n\n“In that case, since the water will most definitely have warmed back up by now, it's shower time. If you want to take one together, you can. Don't forget to cover that cast up, kiddo. No half-shower today. I want your fur squeaky clean, got it? Lizzy, don’t forget to use conditioner so the chlorine doesn’t dry your skin out. Once you're both out of the shower, you can play games or watch a movie in the living room while David and I work out in the basement.”\n\n“Okay, mom,” Alex said as she grabbed her crutches and stood up. \n\n“Yes, Mrs. Andreyev,” Lizzy said with a yawn. She stabbed the last dumpling and stuffed it in her mouth before also standing up. After tugging her towel off the chair, she followed Alex upstairs.\n\nRaenne watched David's head swivel to follow Elizabeth out of the corner of his eye until she was out of sight, and frowned. She'd accepted that he had problems, but it still made her... Angry? Disappointed? Envious? Something. Maybe all three. She stood up and bent over to give David a peck on the cheek. She felt a pang of sorrow when he winced away, having forgotten that she’d slapped him. She frowned again and quickly started clearing the table. She hoped to catch the girls before they started their showers.\n\nBy the time David started loading the dishwasher, Raenne was on her way up the stairs. Alex's door was open, so she walked over. Alex was in the process of taking off her shirt, and Lizzy was helping with Alex’s skirt. Lizzy's bikini was already lying atop the towel draped over the computer chair. As she knocked on the door frame, Alex’s skirt dropped to the floor, revealing that she hadn’t been wearing panties. Both of them looked over at her, like feral deer caught in the headlights.\n\n“Sorry if I startled you. Mind if I come in?” the older tigress asked quietly.\n\nLizzy and Alex looked at each other for a moment, then back at her. \n\n“Sure. What's up, mom?” Alex asked, sitting down on her bed. She was starting to get a bit more used to being naked around people, but still felt a little awkward. She clasped her paws together over her lap, hiding her boy-parts from sight.\n\nRaenne quietly closed the door behind her as she stepped in, then took a seat on the computer chair, swiveling it around until she was facing both the girls. “I said I would talk to you two later. It's time that we had that little chat.”\n\nLizzy glanced over at Alex, then turned around and sat down on the bed next to her, also setting her paws in her lap.\n\n“Both of you are well aware now that having sex with an adult is illegal. It's not just a little bit illegal... it's very, very illegal. If someone found out about what David had done with you two this afternoon, he could go to prison for over twenty years.”\n\nBoth their eyes went wide and Alex gasped.\n\n“Yes, twenty years,” the older tigress confirmed. “Sexually abusing a minor is a ten year prison sentence. Twenty years cause there’s two of you. I’m sure the police would have added other charges to that, so he might spend a lot longer than twenty years in prison if someone found out.” \n\n“Lizzy, the same goes for your mom,” Raenne continued. “She could spend a very long time in prison if anyone else found out she had sex with you. You have a medical condition which would count as extenuating circumstances, so your father might not spend time in prison. However, until they got everything figured out, your parents would be taken to jail until the investigation was finished, even though we all know they did it only to keep you alive.”\n\nElizabeth’s lip was quivering and both children were silent for a moment, before Alex quietly protested “But that's not fair...”\n\n“Life isn't fair, kiddo. Sometimes bad things happen to good people,” Raenne said. “Now, those laws are there to protect kids from bad people, and in the eyes of the Law, an adult who has sex with a kid is a very bad person. We both know your dad isn't a bad person, but the Law doesn’t care. Actually, he's a very good person. Better than any other person I've ever known in my entire life.” Which wasn't saying much, Raenne thought to herself.\n\n“I'm fairly sure that the reason that David ran away from you two and got in the shower was because he thought he had become a bad person. He was so ashamed of what he'd done that he stood in the shower even after it got cold. He was punishing himself, until it got so cold that he fell unconscious from hypothermia. If he had been in that cold water for another hour, he could have died. After I woke him up, he was still afraid that he might hurt you two. He doesn't ever want to hurt you two. He would rather die than hurt you two. Do you understand that?” she asked.\n\nAlex and Lizzy nodded, both of them staring at her with wide eyes. Alex started to talk, but Raenne held up a hand.\n\n“Let me finish. So, now you know that he's a good person. But nobody is perfect. Everyone has flaws. Sometimes it’s something wrong with their bodies. Sometimes it's something wrong with their minds. David's flaw is that he... um... that he wants to have sex with you two very badly, even though it's illegal. He wants it so much he can’t control himself, and he’s afraid he’ll hurt you. So, that being said, I'd very much appreciate it if both of you avoid doing anything that might make him want to have sex with you, like letting him see you naked,” Raenne said pointing at the two of them, both sitting naked on the bed. “At least until we can figure out a way to help him get over this.”\n\nElizabeth squirmed a bit, clearly wanting to say something.\n\n“Yes, Elizabeth?” Raenne asked\n\n“Well... I know Alex’s dad is afraid he might hurt us... and I guess that makes sense, since Alex still has her hymen. But I already took him all the way in my mouth and that didn’t hurt. I can take Father all the way in my flower now and he's not [i]that[/i] much longer than Father is. I think I could-”\n\n“Stop.” Raenne held up a hand. “First, your parents have already stated that you are not to do anything sexual with anyone else without their permission. That's twice now you've broken that rule; once with Alex last weekend, and again with David today. I will not let you break that rule again. Lizzy, you [i]have[/i] to obey your parents on this. If anyone else finds out you know too much about sex, or finds out you have sex with adults, they’ll tell the police. The police will put your parents in jail and will have Child Protective Services take you away from your parents for [i]months[/i] while they investigate. You could get sick or even [i]die[/i] before they decide to give you back. Do [i]not[/i] tell anyone else you know about sex and [i]absolutely[/i] do not have sex with someone without your parents permission! Both of you!”\n\nAlex wrapped her arm around Lizzy, pulling her close. Strangely enough, Raenne approved: courage under fire and all that.\n\nLizzy was practically in tears at this point. “I know Mrs. Andreyev! I really do... But Mr. Andreyev and you already know about me, and you won't tell the police. Will you?” she whimpered.\n\n“Well, no, we won't. But that doesn't change the fact that it's your parents' rule, and there's a very good reason for it,” the older tigress said, leaning back a bit into the computer chair.\n\nLizzy was quiet for a moment, chewing her lower lip. Then she wiped a tear from her eyes and looked back up. “Father always tells me that rules have a reason, and that I should never break those rules unless I have a better reason. You and Mr. Andreyev already know that I have sex with Mother and Father, so that reason doesn't matter. If Lexi's dad wants to die because he thinks he'll hurt us, and I can prove he won't hurt me, then that's a better reason.”\n\nRaenne stared at the little stoat, shocked. Had a nine-year-old just come up with that argument? What the hell. “Look... he's not going to die, okay? I made him promise not to. He just feels bad that he did something that he thinks is wrong. I don't want you to break your parents rules, even if you do think that it's a better reason. How do you think your parents would feel if they knew you had sex with David, huh? Your mom was so upset when I told her that you'd had sex with Alex here that she had a heart attack and had to go to the hospital!”\n\nLizzy was actually shaking at that point, tears forming in her eyes, and Alex was holding her tight, glaring at Raenne. Well... it was Alex's turn now, anyway. “And as for you, Alex, you should damn well know better than to do something illegal just because you want to know what it feels like. Your dad felt so bad about having sex with you two that he stood in icy cold water till he nearly froze to death! You nearly killed him!” Alex gaped at her, completely shocked at that complete turn-about.\n\n“Now, I know you love us, and you want to make us happy, but you shouldn't break the law just to do that-” Raenne broke off as Alex's chest began to shake and tears rolled down her face. Then the little tigress began wailing, bawling like she hadn't since she was five. Shit. She hadn't intended to literally drive them both to tears. Then she heard a clatter from downstairs and thunder coming up the stairs. Oh fuck... now I've done it, she thought to herself.\n\nLess than four seconds after Alex had started crying, the door burst open with David standing there, fur puffed out, immediately walking over to Alex to see what was wrong. “What happened?”\n\nRaenne rubbed her forehead. “I was telling them why it was a bad thing to try having sex with you earlier,” she said, having to raise her voice to be heard over Alex's wailing. “I'm afraid I was a little too effective at getting my point across.”\n\nAt this point both of the pre-teens were hugging each other and bawling like it was the end of the world. David stood there for a moment, then sat next to Alex, awkwardly putting his arm around her and gently rubbing her tummy. “Alex, alex... it's okay, sweetie. It's okay. Please stop crying. You're scaring daddy.”\n\nAfter a moment, Raenne came over and sat next to Elizabeth, joining the hug. Now that she was thinking about it, maybe she had gone more than a bit overboard. It really wasn't nice to tell your kid that they'd nearly killed someone, when it wasn't all their fault. She sat there, rubbing Elizabeth's back and feeling like shit, waiting for them to crawl back from the edge of despair. It took a minute, but eventually Alex's wails turned into a litany of apologies interrupted by sobs, then eventually sniffles.\n\nWhen Alex realized that her father was holding her, she awkwardly turned around and grabbed him around the chest. “Please don't die, daddy! Pleeease don't die! I love you and I'm sorry, I'll never ask you to have sex with me again!”\n\nA puzzled expression came over David's face as Alex began to beg, then changed to comprehension. He flashed an angry look at his wife, then gathered his naked daughter up in his lap with a grunt of effort, trying to keep from bumping her broken leg. Lizzy was left hunched over and miserable looking, so Raenne rubbed the little girl's back and held her tightly to help comfort her as well.\n\n“Shhhh, It's okay, kiddo.” David said as he settled Alex on his lap. “It was an accident. I didn't mean to stay in the shower that long. It wasn't your fault, okay?”\n\n“But it was!” the young tiger wailed, “If I hadn't begged you to play with us, you wouldn't have gone in the shower. It's all my fault...”\n\n“Oh God... Raenne, what did... shit...” he whispered under his breath. “Look, Alex... Look at me,” he said lifting her chin so she would look up at him. “I thought I was bad... very, very bad... for having sex with you two. I thought I was a... a child molester for... for playing with you two that way. That I was abusing you, and taking advantage of you. Now, thanks to you, I know that sex isn't [i]always[/i] a bad thing between an adult and a child. It can be just another way to express your love for one another, as long as you're careful.”\n\nAlex continued to sniffle through his explanation, but at least she was listening, and looking up at him, blinking away the tears. \n\n“The thing is, when I played with you two, I was being unfaithful to your mother; I was cheating on her,” the white tiger continued to explain. “Being faithful means always being open and honest and trying to do what your partner would approve of, and especially when it comes to sex. I made a promise that I would be faithful to your mom when I married her.”\n\nRaenne was also listening now, realizing how badly she’d misjudged her husband; she’d had no idea that part of the reason for his panic attack was for his infidelity.\n\n“By playing with you two I broke that promise, because I knew she wouldn’t approve. I was ashamed of being unfaithful and I guess I thought I could wash that shame away if I stood in the shower long enough. Now I know that nothing will wash that shame away and that I’ll have to live with it for the rest of my life. I can only try to do better and to be faithful no matter what happens. I didn’t mean to stay in the shower that long; it was an accident. So don't be sad anymore. Okay?” David asked.\n\n“O-kay,” Alex mumbled, quietly.\n\nHaving finished his explanation, David took a tissue from the box on the nightstand and wiped the last of the tears from his daughter’s eyes before dropping it in the wastebasket. “So, if you still want to discuss having sex with your mom and me tomorrow, we can. But for now, you and Lizzy should be having a sleepover, with movies and board games and pillow fights and ice cream and all the other stuff you two love to do together.”\n\nAlex nodded. “Okay, daddy.”\n\nDavid gave her a kiss on the nose, then picked her up off his lap and sat her on the bed next to Lizzy, who was watching with wide, wet black eyes. “But for now, you two need to take a shower. And I need to finish the dishes... and the laundry. Shoot. I forgot about that again. Now... Do you think you'll be okay?”\n\n“Uh-huh,” the tiger-cub nodded.\n\n“Good,” he said, kissing the top of her head. “I love you.”\n\n“I love you too, daddy,” Alex said, giving him one last hug.\n\nWith that, David stood up and quietly walked over to the door. He glanced back at them for a moment, then opened the door and walked out, heading back downstairs.\n\nRaenne stood up as well, feeling like she'd kicked a puppy. Two puppies. Now she felt so guilty she was sick to her stomach. “I'm sorry I made you two cry. It was unnecessary, and mean, and you two didn't deserve it. I guess... I guess I was more upset with what happened than I thought, and I took it out on you two unfairly. You're both good kids, and I apologize. I'll have ice cream waiting for you downstairs when you get out of the shower.”\n\nShe stepped out of the room, hearing the faucet turn on in the downstairs kitchen as she went past the stairs and over to the master bedroom. Then she closed the door behind her, leaning up against it and sliding down it until she hit the floor. She had been so horribly wrong.\n\nRaenne had thought David was just giving empty apologies; saying what he thought she wanted to hear just so she wouldn’t be mad. He'd practically killed himself, not because he’d taken advantage of a pair of cubs, but because he couldn't live with knowing he'd been unfaithful. And she'd been tormenting him ever since for his... weakness.\n\nShe'd been wrong about that too, thinking he was just a sex-crazed pedophile who couldn’t keep his dick in his pants. But he’d just proven he wasn’t. She’d seen it all in his eyes, the way he’d held their daughter, and when he stood up after it was over. He hadn't even noticed the kids were naked; all he had seen was that they were in pain, that they needed comfort, and he had given it to them.\n\nShe pulled her knees to her chest and tucked her head, wishing that she could cry like her husband and daughter could. Wishing that she had some form of release for the pain that wrenched her heart.\n", "writing_bbcode_parsed": "WARNING: This story may contain content of an adult nature.

Chapter 20 – Lessons in Love, Continued.

Saturday, May 30th, 2015

Lizzy smiled to herself as she quietly closed the master bedroom door behind her, then walked back into Alex's room, sitting down at the chair in front of the computer. Lexi was sitting on the edge of her bed, fumbling with putting on her skirt.

“Do you want any help?” the little stoat-hybrid asked, watching as her friend struggled with the buttons.

“Nah, I've got this,” the tiger cub mumbled as she finished fastening the buttons on her skirt.

“No panties?” the little stoat asked, pointing at the tiny pile of fabric on the floor.

“Too much work,” Alex said as she stood up and snagged the crutches against the wall, then hopped with one leg towards her closet. “Stupid cast. Stupid broken leg,” the tiger cub muttered as she rest the crutches against the wall and snagged a tee-shirt from her closet.

Lizzy smiled at Alex’s shenanigans, then turned around to the computer and moved the computer mouse to wake it up. “I don't think I like Starbound,” the little stoat said. “It's too hard.”

“It's not that hard,” Alex replied, straightening her tee shirt and using her crutches to move over to the computer. “You just need to use the bigger sword so you can hit stuff easier.”

“Well, okay, maybe it's not,” Elizabeth replied, “but it's kind of boring. It's the same thing as Terraria.”

“Well, they are pretty similar... Oh! You have to play this game I got yesterday,” Alex said excitedly, pointing at an black icon with a weird shape on it.

After a few moments, the game started with a tiny white icon running across the middle. Then the main screen appeared. “Ori and the Blind Forest?” Elizabeth asked.

“Yesss...” Alex said, reaching over to the speakers and turning up the volume, then grabbing the mouse pointer and quickly starting up a new game. Lizzy watched in silence as a tree swayed in a thunderstorm, and the glowing lights hanging from it.

“This reminds me of some of the anime that Charlotte has...” the little stoat said quietly.

“Shhh,” Alex said, picking up Lizzy's paws and putting them on the keyboard and mouse. Then she stood back and watched as Lizzy went through the intro, listening to the pretty music.

Lizzy had just made her first save point about ten minutes later when Alex's parents' door creaked open and David stumbled out, adjusting his t-shirt and shorts. Raenne followed him out a moment later wearing a blue summer dress, tail swaying contentedly behind her.

“Hey, you two...” David said slowly as he walked over to Alex's door while Raenne headed downstairs. “You're playing Ori?” he asked, walking over to stand next to Alex.

“Yeah,” Alex replied quietly as her dad put one arm around her shoulders. “She just got past the intro.”

“It's a fantastic game,” David said. “Probably one of the most well-made games I’ve ever seen. Anyway, your mom is going to start making lunch. Probably sandwiches. That okay?” the white tiger asked.

“Yep. I was starting to get hungry,” Alex said. “Thanks, dad.”

“You’re welcome,” he said, squeezing his daughter’s shoulders. “If you two decide to go swimming sometime this afternoon, I'll be sitting outside by the pool until dinner.”

“Okay, dad. Love you,” the young tigress said, reaching an arm around her father’s waist to give him a hug.

“Love you too, kiddo,” David said, squeezing his daughter’s shoulders once again before letting her go. He slowly walked back to his room to grab some reading material before heading downstairs.

__________________________________________________


A few hours later, Elizabeth quit the game they had been playing and walked over to her backpack, pulling out a few tiny pieces of clothing and laying them on the floor next to the bed. Then she pulled out two small pieces of white fabric and set them on the bed. “Can you get my zipper again,” the little stoat asked, turning her back to Alex.

“Sure,” the larger tiger-cub said, pinching the pull tab between her fingers and slowly pulling it down.

Elizabeth shrugged when she felt the zipper reach her waist, letting the dress fall to the floor.

“You're not going to change in the bathroom?” Alex asked, raising an eyebrow slightly.

“Why?” the little stoat asked. “You've seen me naked lots of times now, and your dad’s seen me naked too. I don't think it would bother your mom too much, seeing as she was naked earlier. It’s not like we’re in public.”

“Well... I suppose you do have a point,” the tiger cub said.

A second later, the training bra and panties that Elizabeth was wearing joined the dress on the floor, and the little stoat picked up the two small pieces of fabric she’d set on the bed. While Alex watched, she slipped one of the pieces up her legs, then wrapped the other around her chest, tying a bow behind her back and neck.

“New swimsuit?” Alex asked, tilting her head.

“Yep. Mother made it for me last week,” Lizzy said while adjusting the straps.

“I like it,” Alex said. “It makes you look... grown up. And sexy,” she added with a smirk.

Lizzy grinned at her, then they both started walking downstairs.

__________________________________________________


David had lay shirtless on the lounge chair, basking in the sun while waiting for the Tylenol he’d just taken to dull the painful throbbing in his face when the glass patio door slid open. Lizzy stepped out carrying towels, followed by Alex on her crutches. David glanced up from his book, then did a double-take when he saw Lizzy. It looked like she wasn't wearing anything at all for a moment. Then he saw the hints of white string buried in the mixed white and brown fur of the growing summer coat around her neck and waist. Damn. Even now that he knew what to look for, it still looked like she wasn't wearing anything.

He swallowed and watched as the little stoat dropped the towels off on the lounge chairs and padded across the warm concrete before stepping into the pool. She stood for a few moments on the steps in the shallow end, getting accustomed to the temperature, while Alex swung herself with her crutches until she was standing next to the lounge chair he lay on.

“New swimsuit?” he asked as his daughter sat down on the lounge chair next to him, swinging her broken leg up to lay it on the chair, but leaving her other foot on the ground. She leaned back with a sigh.

“Yep. Her mom made it. I think it looks sexy,” Alex said, pulling out her iPhone and bringing up the stopwatch app.

Hearing his daughter call something sexy was new. He had to agree though, it was very sexy, like most string bikinis. There was no way he'd let Alex wear a string bikini. Then again, she had extra parts to hide, so that wasn't an option anyway. Alex's current swim-suit was a black two-piece with an angled swim skirt, also something that Julia's mother had made. She wasn't wearing it though; there was no point since she couldn't swim with a cast on. Instead she had on a white t-shirt and black skirt.

“Okay Lizzy, ready when you are!” Alex yelled.

Once Lizzy had started swimming laps, David picked up his book again and began reading again, enjoying the warmth of the sun on his fur, especially since he still felt slightly chilled. Alex lay on the lounge chair next to his, calling out lap times every few minutes. The pool ran the entire width of their backyard, and was a regulation forty-one feet, making it exactly four laps to one long course lap.

Once he got into his book, time seemed to fly, reading about thieves and allomancers, an immortal emperor and the plot to end his reign. It was almost enough to distract him from the constant ache emanating from his left cheekbone. He wondered if Mistborn would ever get made into a movie; it was far better than some of the trash that Hollywood seemed to think worthy of making into a movie.

The sound of water splashing onto the cement near him brought him out of his trance. Lizzy was standing in front of Alex, using her paws to wick the extra water from her fur. Without the extra bulk her fur gave her, she was frighteningly skinny. Still, she had definitely put on weight from the first time he'd seen her in the pool a year or so ago. He made a mental note to make sure she ate more. Then he noticed just how loose the bikini was on her now that she was wet; it was a miracle that it hadn't come off when she was doing laps.

“Umm... Lizzy?” he asked, interrupting their conversation about lap times. “You might want to make sure you tie the strings on that bikini a bit tighter. You might accidentally give someone a show you didn't intend to, or worse, lose that bikini while swimming.”

She looked down. “Oh. Sorry,” she said as she tugged the patch of fabric to better cover herself. “I'll tie  it tighter next time. I'm done for today.”

“Hush, silly stoat. Come over here,” Alex said, leaning forward. “I'll fix it.”

David tried to ignore them as Alex undid the strings on one side and re-tied the bow, then did the same for the other side. Then Lizzy sat down on the lounge chair between Alex's legs as Alex redid the bows on her back and neck.

After that, Lizzy went and lay on the lounge chair across from Alex, letting the sun dry her fur out. David went back to reading his book until he heard Raenne call from inside.

“Okay you two, time for dinner,” he said while placing a bookmark between the pages of his novel. “You can shower after dinner, Lizzy. Just put a towel down over the chair.”

The three of them made their way inside, sitting around the table. David quickly laid out silverware and plates as Raenne began bringing out dishes of home-made Chinese food. Jasmine tea, steamed dumplings, stir-fried noodles with vegetables, hot and sour soup, and sesame chicken.

“Oh yum!” Lizzy exclaimed when she saw the dumplings. “I love those so much.”

“Have as much as you like, Lizzy,” David said, “You need to eat to make up for all that swimming.”

“Yes, Mr. Andreyev,” the little stoat said politely, waiting for everyone to be seated.

After Raenne set down the last dish and took a seat, they all started ladling food onto their plates. “New swimsuit?” the older tigress asked conversationally as she poured herself a cup of hot and sour soup.

“Yep! Mother made it for me last week. She said I needed a new swimsuit since it was almost summer,” the little stoat said, stabbing a steaming dumpling with her fork and then blowing on it to cool it down.

“It looks very adult,” the older tigress commented. “I'm somewhat surprised she made a string bikini for you. Especially one that matches your fur so closely.”

“Umm, well... Mother said I couldn't wear it except here and at home. She said it was too revealing to wear in public,” Lizzy said as she stuffed a dumpling in her mouth.

Raenne grinned, she couldn't resist the opportunity to tease her husband about his newly revealed weakness. “Well, I know Alex and David here definitely like it.”

David coughed, nearly spitting out the chicken he'd just stuck in his mouth. To Raenne’s surprise, both David and Alex started blushing under their fur, ears and noses flushing pink.

“Really?” the tiny stoat asked after she finished swallowing, glancing at both Alex and David.

“Yes, really,” Raenne replied with a smirk. “They both like seeing you in the fur, and it's very revealing.”

Lizzy looked torn between embarrassment and pride, sitting straighter in her chair with a smile on her face, while looking back down at her plate. She squirmed a bit on the chair before picking up another dumpling.

Mission accomplished, Raenne returned to her meal, unsuccessfully trying to hide a wicked smile.

__________________________________________________


As the two cubs finally finished stuffing themselves and stopped adding food to their plates, Raenne quietly asked “So, how well did you two clean up after doing sexy stuff today?”

Alex looked puzzled, glancing down at her chest, then looked quizzically at Lizzy. Alex remembered getting boy-juice all over her chest when they had done sexy stuff that morning.

“Umm... Not really,” the little stoat said. “I mean, I used a towel to wipe up, but... but Alex’s fur still had some stuff in it.”

“In that case, since the water will most definitely have warmed back up by now, it's shower time. If you want to take one together, you can. Don't forget to cover that cast up, kiddo. No half-shower today. I want your fur squeaky clean, got it? Lizzy, don’t forget to use conditioner so the chlorine doesn’t dry your skin out. Once you're both out of the shower, you can play games or watch a movie in the living room while David and I work out in the basement.”

“Okay, mom,” Alex said as she grabbed her crutches and stood up.

“Yes, Mrs. Andreyev,” Lizzy said with a yawn. She stabbed the last dumpling and stuffed it in her mouth before also standing up. After tugging her towel off the chair, she followed Alex upstairs.

Raenne watched David's head swivel to follow Elizabeth out of the corner of his eye until she was out of sight, and frowned. She'd accepted that he had problems, but it still made her... Angry? Disappointed? Envious? Something. Maybe all three. She stood up and bent over to give David a peck on the cheek. She felt a pang of sorrow when he winced away, having forgotten that she’d slapped him. She frowned again and quickly started clearing the table. She hoped to catch the girls before they started their showers.

By the time David started loading the dishwasher, Raenne was on her way up the stairs. Alex's door was open, so she walked over. Alex was in the process of taking off her shirt, and Lizzy was helping with Alex’s skirt. Lizzy's bikini was already lying atop the towel draped over the computer chair. As she knocked on the door frame, Alex’s skirt dropped to the floor, revealing that she hadn’t been wearing panties. Both of them looked over at her, like feral deer caught in the headlights.

“Sorry if I startled you. Mind if I come in?” the older tigress asked quietly.

Lizzy and Alex looked at each other for a moment, then back at her.

“Sure. What's up, mom?” Alex asked, sitting down on her bed. She was starting to get a bit more used to being naked around people, but still felt a little awkward. She clasped her paws together over her lap, hiding her boy-parts from sight.

Raenne quietly closed the door behind her as she stepped in, then took a seat on the computer chair, swiveling it around until she was facing both the girls. “I said I would talk to you two later. It's time that we had that little chat.”

Lizzy glanced over at Alex, then turned around and sat down on the bed next to her, also setting her paws in her lap.

“Both of you are well aware now that having sex with an adult is illegal. It's not just a little bit illegal... it's very, very illegal. If someone found out about what David had done with you two this afternoon, he could go to prison for over twenty years.”

Both their eyes went wide and Alex gasped.

“Yes, twenty years,” the older tigress confirmed. “Sexually abusing a minor is a ten year prison sentence. Twenty years cause there’s two of you. I’m sure the police would have added other charges to that, so he might spend a lot longer than twenty years in prison if someone found out.”

“Lizzy, the same goes for your mom,” Raenne continued. “She could spend a very long time in prison if anyone else found out she had sex with you. You have a medical condition which would count as extenuating circumstances, so your father might not spend time in prison. However, until they got everything figured out, your parents would be taken to jail until the investigation was finished, even though we all know they did it only to keep you alive.”

Elizabeth’s lip was quivering and both children were silent for a moment, before Alex quietly protested “But that's not fair...”

“Life isn't fair, kiddo. Sometimes bad things happen to good people,” Raenne said. “Now, those laws are there to protect kids from bad people, and in the eyes of the Law, an adult who has sex with a kid is a very bad person. We both know your dad isn't a bad person, but the Law doesn’t care. Actually, he's a very good person. Better than any other person I've ever known in my entire life.” Which wasn't saying much, Raenne thought to herself.

“I'm fairly sure that the reason that David ran away from you two and got in the shower was because he thought he had become a bad person. He was so ashamed of what he'd done that he stood in the shower even after it got cold. He was punishing himself, until it got so cold that he fell unconscious from hypothermia. If he had been in that cold water for another hour, he could have died. After I woke him up, he was still afraid that he might hurt you two. He doesn't ever want to hurt you two. He would rather die than hurt you two. Do you understand that?” she asked.

Alex and Lizzy nodded, both of them staring at her with wide eyes. Alex started to talk, but Raenne held up a hand.

“Let me finish. So, now you know that he's a good person. But nobody is perfect. Everyone has flaws. Sometimes it’s something wrong with their bodies. Sometimes it's something wrong with their minds. David's flaw is that he... um... that he wants to have sex with you two very badly, even though it's illegal. He wants it so much he can’t control himself, and he’s afraid he’ll hurt you. So, that being said, I'd very much appreciate it if both of you avoid doing anything that might make him want to have sex with you, like letting him see you naked,” Raenne said pointing at the two of them, both sitting naked on the bed. “At least until we can figure out a way to help him get over this.”

Elizabeth squirmed a bit, clearly wanting to say something.

“Yes, Elizabeth?” Raenne asked

“Well... I know Alex’s dad is afraid he might hurt us... and I guess that makes sense, since Alex still has her hymen. But I already took him all the way in my mouth and that didn’t hurt. I can take Father all the way in my flower now and he's not that much longer than Father is. I think I could-”

“Stop.” Raenne held up a hand. “First, your parents have already stated that you are not to do anything sexual with anyone else without their permission. That's twice now you've broken that rule; once with Alex last weekend, and again with David today. I will not let you break that rule again. Lizzy, you have to obey your parents on this. If anyone else finds out you know too much about sex, or finds out you have sex with adults, they’ll tell the police. The police will put your parents in jail and will have Child Protective Services take you away from your parents for months while they investigate. You could get sick or even die before they decide to give you back. Do not tell anyone else you know about sex and absolutely do not have sex with someone without your parents permission! Both of you!”

Alex wrapped her arm around Lizzy, pulling her close. Strangely enough, Raenne approved: courage under fire and all that.

Lizzy was practically in tears at this point. “I know Mrs. Andreyev! I really do... But Mr. Andreyev and you already know about me, and you won't tell the police. Will you?” she whimpered.

“Well, no, we won't. But that doesn't change the fact that it's your parents' rule, and there's a very good reason for it,” the older tigress said, leaning back a bit into the computer chair.

Lizzy was quiet for a moment, chewing her lower lip. Then she wiped a tear from her eyes and looked back up. “Father always tells me that rules have a reason, and that I should never break those rules unless I have a better reason. You and Mr. Andreyev already know that I have sex with Mother and Father, so that reason doesn't matter. If Lexi's dad wants to die because he thinks he'll hurt us, and I can prove he won't hurt me, then that's a better reason.”

Raenne stared at the little stoat, shocked. Had a nine-year-old just come up with that argument? What the hell. “Look... he's not going to die, okay? I made him promise not to. He just feels bad that he did something that he thinks is wrong. I don't want you to break your parents rules, even if you do think that it's a better reason. How do you think your parents would feel if they knew you had sex with David, huh? Your mom was so upset when I told her that you'd had sex with Alex here that she had a heart attack and had to go to the hospital!”

Lizzy was actually shaking at that point, tears forming in her eyes, and Alex was holding her tight, glaring at Raenne. Well... it was Alex's turn now, anyway. “And as for you, Alex, you should damn well know better than to do something illegal just because you want to know what it feels like. Your dad felt so bad about having sex with you two that he stood in icy cold water till he nearly froze to death! You nearly killed him!” Alex gaped at her, completely shocked at that complete turn-about.

“Now, I know you love us, and you want to make us happy, but you shouldn't break the law just to do that-” Raenne broke off as Alex's chest began to shake and tears rolled down her face. Then the little tigress began wailing, bawling like she hadn't since she was five. Shit. She hadn't intended to literally drive them both to tears. Then she heard a clatter from downstairs and thunder coming up the stairs. Oh fuck... now I've done it, she thought to herself.

Less than four seconds after Alex had started crying, the door burst open with David standing there, fur puffed out, immediately walking over to Alex to see what was wrong. “What happened?”

Raenne rubbed her forehead. “I was telling them why it was a bad thing to try having sex with you earlier,” she said, having to raise her voice to be heard over Alex's wailing. “I'm afraid I was a little too effective at getting my point across.”

At this point both of the pre-teens were hugging each other and bawling like it was the end of the world. David stood there for a moment, then sat next to Alex, awkwardly putting his arm around her  and gently rubbing her tummy. “Alex, alex... it's okay, sweetie. It's okay. Please stop crying. You're scaring daddy.”

After a moment, Raenne came over and sat next to Elizabeth, joining the hug. Now that she was thinking about it, maybe she had gone more than a bit overboard. It really wasn't nice to tell your kid that they'd nearly killed someone, when it wasn't all their fault. She sat there, rubbing Elizabeth's back and feeling like shit, waiting for them to crawl back from the edge of despair. It took a minute, but eventually Alex's wails turned into a litany of apologies interrupted by sobs, then eventually sniffles.

When Alex realized that her father was holding her, she awkwardly turned around and grabbed him around the chest. “Please don't die, daddy! Pleeease don't die! I love you and I'm sorry, I'll never ask you to have sex with me again!”

A puzzled expression came over David's face as Alex began to beg, then changed to comprehension. He flashed an angry look at his wife, then gathered his naked daughter up in his lap with a grunt of effort, trying to keep from bumping her broken leg. Lizzy was left hunched over and miserable looking, so Raenne rubbed the little girl's back and held her tightly to help comfort her as well.

“Shhhh, It's okay, kiddo.” David said as he settled Alex on his lap. “It was an accident. I didn't mean to stay in the shower that long. It wasn't your fault, okay?”

“But it was!” the young tiger wailed, “If I hadn't begged you to play with us, you wouldn't have gone in the shower. It's all my fault...”

“Oh God... Raenne, what did... shit...” he whispered under his breath. “Look, Alex... Look at me,” he said lifting her chin so she would look up at him. “I thought I was bad... very, very bad... for having sex with you two. I thought I was a... a child molester for... for playing with you two that way. That I was abusing you, and taking advantage of you. Now, thanks to you, I know that sex isn't always a bad thing between an adult and a child. It can be just another way to express your love for one another, as long as you're careful.”

Alex continued to sniffle through his explanation, but at least she was listening, and looking up at him, blinking away the tears.

“The thing is, when I played with you two, I was being unfaithful to your mother; I was cheating on her,” the white tiger continued to explain. “Being faithful means always being open and honest and trying to do what your partner would approve of, and especially when it comes to sex. I made a promise that I would be faithful to your mom when I married her.”

Raenne was also listening now, realizing how badly she’d misjudged her husband; she’d had no idea that part of the reason for his panic attack was for his infidelity.

“By playing with you two I broke that promise, because I knew she wouldn’t approve. I was ashamed of being unfaithful and I guess I thought I could wash that shame away if I stood in the shower long enough. Now I know that nothing will wash that shame away and that I’ll have to live with it for the rest of my life. I can only try to do better and to be faithful no matter what happens. I didn’t mean to stay in the shower that long; it was an accident. So don't be sad anymore. Okay?” David asked.

“O-kay,” Alex mumbled, quietly.

Having finished his explanation, David took a tissue from the box on the nightstand and wiped the last of the tears from his daughter’s eyes before dropping it in the wastebasket. “So, if you still want to discuss having sex with your mom and me tomorrow, we can. But for now, you and Lizzy should be having a sleepover, with movies and board games and pillow fights and ice cream and all the other stuff you two love to do together.”

Alex nodded. “Okay, daddy.”

David gave her a kiss on the nose, then picked her up off his lap and sat her on the bed next to Lizzy, who was watching with wide, wet black eyes. “But for now, you two need to take a shower. And I need to finish the dishes... and the laundry. Shoot. I forgot about that again. Now... Do you think you'll be okay?”

“Uh-huh,” the tiger-cub nodded.

“Good,” he said, kissing the top of her head. “I love you.”

“I love you too, daddy,” Alex said, giving him one last hug.

With that, David stood up and quietly walked over to the door. He glanced back at them for a moment, then opened the door and walked out, heading back downstairs.

Raenne stood up as well, feeling like she'd kicked a puppy. Two puppies. Now she felt so guilty she was sick to her stomach. “I'm sorry I made you two cry. It was unnecessary, and mean, and you two didn't deserve it. I guess... I guess I was more upset with what happened than I thought, and I took it out on you two unfairly. You're both good kids, and I apologize. I'll have ice cream waiting for you downstairs when you get out of the shower.”

She stepped out of the room, hearing the faucet turn on in the downstairs kitchen as she went past the stairs and over to the master bedroom. Then she closed the door behind her, leaning up against it and sliding down it until she hit the floor. She had been so horribly wrong.

Raenne had thought David was just giving empty apologies; saying what he thought she wanted to hear just so she wouldn’t be mad. He'd practically killed himself, not because he’d taken advantage of a pair of cubs, but because he couldn't live with knowing he'd been unfaithful. And she'd been tormenting him ever since for his... weakness.

She'd been wrong about that too, thinking he was just a sex-crazed pedophile who couldn’t keep his dick in his pants. But he’d just proven he wasn’t. She’d seen it all in his eyes, the way he’d held their daughter, and when he stood up after it was over. He hadn't even noticed the kids were naked; all he had seen was that they were in pain, that they needed comfort, and he had given it to them.

She pulled her knees to her chest and tucked her head, wishing that she could cry like her husband and daughter could. Wishing that she had some form of release for the pain that wrenched her heart.
