Rejuvenated from their fun, and emboldened by Aza and Zuri's mom catching them and not caring, the four friends emerge from the basement, ready for a fun evening of cake and celebration.

The natural light of the setting sun filters in through slots in the ceiling. Paper streamers run between the rafters and sway in the soft breeze. Colored rice is scattered over the baked earth floor.

"Wow, very eco-friendly," Mei remarks. It shows a level of care that made her respect Aza's family even more.

Speaking of the family, the twins' father is on the patio, loading up the picnic table with snacks fresh off the grill: hot dogs and... is that grilled bamboo? They really did think of her! She was worried about being the only herbivore at the party, but her fears were unfounded.

Like the rest of the family, Dad is buck naked, in nothing but his green horn-rimmed glasses, and Mei can't help but notice his sack, which hangs low between his legs. It's fuzzy and spotted, like the rest of him. She's never been in the same room as a naked adult man before, not even her own father. She wonders what her father would think. But she's already decided not to tell her parents anything about this party. They wouldn't understand.

Aza runs up and hugs his dad, and their sheath areas run against each other in a way that's totally natural and chaste but still makes Mei blush. Then he runs off to say hi to his mom, who's setting something up some kind of activity in the backyard. Mei can't tell what it is from this angle.

Zuri heads to the picnic table and plucks some chips right out of the bowl. Seems like everyone is splitting up.

Mei decides...

[i]1 - to head over to the picnic table and see what's there to eat. She's always eager to nibble on something, and that bamboo looks delectable.[/i]

[b]2 (WINNER) - to talk to the twins' dad. And maybe try to peek a closer look at his sack.[/b]

[i]3 - to talk to the twins' mom. She has questions about the whole nudity thing and she seems like the most approachable.[/i]

Penina's in a similar boat; everyone is running off and if she doesn't want to just stand in the corner, she needs to make a decision too. She decides...

[i]1 - to stick with Zuri and make sure she's okay after everything that happened. (and get some food, those hot dogs look tasty.)[/i]

[b]2 (TIE) - to talk to the twins' dad about the whole nudity thing. Maybe he has some advice about her whole "random awkward boners" problem.[/b]

[b]3 (TIE) - to get a closer look at the activity that Zuri's mom is setting up. (And maybe get to see that mature spade again.)[/b]

====

Mei 's never had the opportunity to see an adult's sheath and balls up close before, and she knows she'll be kicking herself if she lets this opportunity slide. So she makes her way to the picnic table. But she doesn't want to make it obvious that she's staring, she busies herself with the food, trying to catch glimpses of Papa Lycaon's dangly bits out of the corner of her vision.

She grabs some bamboo, and some berries and nuts and piles them onto a plate. Then she gets to the drink section and does a double take. There's soda and juice, which isn't surprising, but there's also some cans of beer. Was this a mistake? Her parents would never let her have beer... but she's already done a lot of things her parents wouldn't approve of.

She looks around, hoping for some kind of signal from either Zuri or her dad to tell her what to do here. But on the other hand, is she going to regret asking if she gets told no? Maybe it's better to take one now and pretend she didn't know better. Better to ask for forgiveness than permission, right?

[b]1 (WINNER) - Mei takes the beer and doesn't try to hide it. It wouldn't be there if they weren't allowed to have any.[/b]

[i]2 - Mei takes the beer and tries to hide it. She'll ask for forgiveness if she gets caught.[/i]

[i]3 - Mei asks Zuri about the beer.[/i]

[i]4 - Mei asks Zuri's dad about the beer.[/i]

[i]5 - Mei decides to just take a soda.[/i]

====

Mei knows that her parents are stricter than most, and that in some parts of the world, the drinking age is lower. Maybe this is just normal where Aza and Zuri come from? They're being supervised, no one's driving; what's the worst that could happen?

Her parents made her afraid that if she didn't do everything by the book, her life would be ruined. But everything that's happened so far has been refreshing, liberating even. She decides that there's nothing wrong with taking what's offered. In fact, it would be rude to refuse.

Mei takes the can and opens the tab with a satisfying pop. Then she sits down with her plate to watch Aza's dad grill. And admire his body, of course. She tries to make it look like she's just admiring his grilling technique, but she's taking in his curves, the way his butt sticks out, the way his smooth round balls hang low between his legs. And what amazing legs they are, thick and muscled and wrapped in a multi colored plush coat.

She takes a sip of the beer. It’s bitter and cloying and it has an aftertaste that lingers on her tongue for what feels like longer than any drink should. But she doesn’t want to waste it either, so she takes slow, measured sips to avoid being overwhelmed, cutting the bitter taste with bites of bamboo.

Zuri slides onto the bench next to her. “Enjoying yourself?”

Mei answers with her mouth full. “Yeah! Your family really knows how to make a herbivore feel welcome.” She holds up the half-eaten bamboo stick.

Zuri leans in closer and lowers her voice. “Enjoying the show?” she teases.

Crap. How obvious is she being?

But Zuri doesn’t seem mad. Instead, she has the glint of mischief in her eye. “Hey, don’t worry. In fact…”

[i]1 - “...I like watching him too.”[/i]

[i]2 - “...I dare you to touch his balls.”[/i]

[b]3 (WINNER) - “...want to see what he looks like hard?”[/b]

====

The question catches Mei off guard. But the answer is obvious. Yes, she absolutely does want to see what Zuri’s dad looks like hard. She wants to compare it to Aza. She imagines the two painted wolf boys sitting side by side, presenting their erections for her inspection. Now that would be a party.

“Okay, but how are we going to get him hard? Do we have to touch him like we did Aza? Do we show him our privates when he comes over?” Her mind races with logistics. Should they be sneaky or bold? Should she play dumb or seductive? How would he react to them trying to turn him on?

Zuri breaks into a fit of giggles. It’s adorable. “No, silly!” Then she considers it. “Well, maybe. But I’m not talking about getting him hard. I meant pictures.”

“Oh.” That makes more sense. Mei feels a little silly. Is the alcohol already affecting her? She just started drinking it; surely it wouldn’t affect her that fast. But wait, hang on. “You have naked pictures of your dad?” 

“On my phone. I can go get it.” Zuri looks pretty excited at the prospect of sharing naughty pictures, and Mei’s curious too.

“Um, Zuri? Where did you get these pictures?”

[i]1 - “I copied them off of mom’s phone.”[/i]

[i]2 - “I found them on a website for swingers.”[/i]

[b]3 (WINNER) - “I took them myself.”[/b]

[i]4 - “He gave them to me.”[/i]

…then she takes off back into the house.

Meanwhile, Penina scans the backyard, trying to decide which of the Zuri's parents to introduce herself to first. Technically, she's met both of them before, at school functions, but this feels too different for those to count. For starters, both of them were wearing clothes back then. Now they're both completely naked, and Penina feels like she's the only one who finds it weird. Even Mei (shy, sheltered Mei!) seems to be adapting faster than peppy party girl Penny.

The fact that Mei appears to be not-so-subtly ogling Dad's sheath and balls is not lost on her. That's what normally happens when a sheltered kid finally gets an environment where she can open up, Penina thinks. She's definitely going to tease Mei about it later, but she's also proud of her.

Well, if Mei is going to do some ogling, than so will she. She checks out Aza and his mom, who are kneeling over a large wooden basin. The way that Mom is bent over, tail held high, her fortune cookie is framed by her fuzzy legs and pointing right at her. It's so mature, so plump. Penina pictures herself getting behind her, grabbing her hips, and just... sliding inside. Maybe if she asks nicely...

It's a fantasy. A stupid, silly, hormonal teen fantasy. But it has one effect that's very real. Her pseudopenis jerks to attention and once again begins to swell. Crap. Even though she just came, her body wants a round two. And surrounded by so many attractive naked bodies, how could it not?

She closes her eyes and takes a deep breath. There's no way she can approach Aza's mom like this. She's pretty sure at this point that no one here is going to be grossed out by an untimely boner. But something worse could happen: she could get teased.

No, if she's going to introduce herself to Aza's mom, it can't be like this. She needs to get some self control first. But if she continues to stand here looking like an idiot, Mom might look her way and expose her.

There's only one option. Reluctantly, she heads over to the picnic table, her hands in front of her to try and obscure her renewed erection.

====

When Penina gets to the picnic table, Aza's Dad is standing at the grill, talking to Mei about his job at the bank. He either doesn't notice that Mei is staring at his junk or is politely ignoring it. Maybe he thinks she's just that enraptured by Data Analytics. But when Penina approaches, he pauses his story. "You must be Penny! Or do you prefer Penina? Come, take a seat, try a hot dog."

"Either's fine," she says, trying to laugh off her nervousness. She takes the hot dog that he practically pushes in her face and tries a bite. It's grilled to perfection, the savory juices squirting on her tongue. "This is really good, Mister Omedo."

"Please, call me Julius. I'm glad you like it."

"Yeah, she really likes it," says Mei. Her voice has a teasing edge to it, and a bit more levity than Penina is used to seeing from her. Penina realizes too late her fatal mistake: in grabbing the food, she's no longer covering herself. They can all see the eagerness between her legs. She looks up at Julius, suddenly feeling very small.

To her surprise, Julius sits down next to them and pats her gently on the shoulder. "Don't tease her, Mei. Unless you want me to tease you for staring between my legs all conversation."

Mei's cheeks turn red. "You noticed?" Now it's her turn to shrink into her seat.

Zuri comes back from inside with her phone. Rather than interject, she just watches the events unfolding, stuffing her face with chips like she's watching a movie.

"It's okay, I'm not mad,” Julius promises. “I know that you're young and curious. I was your age too once. I remember what it's like to stare and get boners."

Penina feels his body warmth against hers. She looks up at him hopefully. "How'd you stop?"

Zuri finally speaks up. "Who says he stops? He stares at mom all the time! And he gets boners like every morning! I’ll prove it!"

[i]1 - She breaks out the pictures on her phone. Julius knows that she has them, so she doesn't need to be subtle.[/i]

[i]2 - She breaks out the pictures on her phone. She took the pictures in secret, and Julius is shocked.[/i]

[i]3 - She spreads her legs to tease Julius. She’ll share the pictures with Mei later.[/i]

[b]4 (TIE) - She spreads Mei’s legs to tease Julius. She’ll share the pictures with Mei later.[/b]

[b]5 (TIE) - She grabs Julius from behind and teases his sheath. She’ll share the pictures with Mei later.[/b]

====

“How are you going to prove that?” asks Penina.

“By turning him on, duh,” says Zuri. “We’re three cute naked girls. Guys love looking at naked girls, right Dad?” 

Julius puts his tongs down and turns off the grill: if the girls are going to be distracting him like this, better to prevent any possible fire risk. “We sure do,” he tells her, curious to see where she’s going with this.

She puts down her drink and bends over the picnic table, knees on the seat, tail lifted. “You like my butt?” She hooks a finger from each hand into her spade, spreading her outer lips and revealing the pink flesh within. 

He crosses over to her, resting one hand on her plush ass cheek. Kneeling on the bench, she’s at perfect height for her butt to be up near his crotch. “You mean this butt?” he asks, giving it a squeeze.

The squeeze makes Zuri giggle. “Yeah! Does it turn you on?”

Mei can’t tell if Julius is being lewd or just humoring Zuri and playing dumb. It looks like he’s feeling her up, but then Mei blinks and it looks like he’s just being chastely affectionate. She knows if she acted that way toward her own father, she’d get grounded. But she also knows it’s normal for dads to play with their kids. Is this going too far? She lacks the experience to tell. He’s definitely walking a fine line either way.

Julius lets his hand drop away. “Sorry baby. It’s a cute butt, but I’m too used to it. I used to change your diapers, remember?”

Worth a shot, thinks Zuri. But she’s far from done. “Who said it was just me? Penny, spread Mei’s legs.”

Penina saw this coming; she’s already got a hand on each of Mei’s knees. Before using any force though, she stops to make sure Mei’s okay with this. Mei nods and lets Penina pry open her legs.

Mei feels a rush run through her. She’s exposing herself to an adult, showing off her body to him. With her legs pulled apart, he has a clear view of the black-and-white fur of her pussy. Mei looks Julius between the eyes and sees that she has his attention: he’s looking squarely between her legs. One hand slides down between her legs, driven by an instinct to cover herself. But instead of indulging that instinct, she challenges it. Instead of hiding her sex, she runs a finger along her labia, feeling the folds.

Painted wolves don’t have labia like she does, she realizes. Julius might not be used to seeing it.

“Do you like these, Mister Omeda?” she asks him.
Her eyes are locked on his crotch, looking for any sign that she’s getting a rise out of him. His balls twitch upward between his legs as his crotch tightens. He’s so preoccupied he doesn’t notice Zuri sneaking around behind him.

“And once he’s distracted, you strike!” She wraps one arm around his thigh, and the other gropes his sheath. She kneads it, probing the soft flesh for any sensitive spots. She feels his flesh stiffen in her paws, feeling his heartbeat through his sheath as blood pumps into his swelling member.

Penina is getting an incredible show: her pseudocock is standing at rigid attention now, but she’s completely forgotten about it, too distracted by the show in front of her.

Then Julius places his hand on top of Zuri’s and pushes it off of him, with a forcefulness and tells the girls their fun is over. His cock is only poking two inches out of his sheath; not erect, but it’s clear that their efforts had an effect on him. “Good teamwork, girls. But you should really get permission before touching someone like that. Consent is serious business.”

He sounds super serious, and Mei lowers her gaze and closes her legs. “Sorry, Mister Omeda.”

His features soften as he returns to fun dad mode. “Hey, you can call me Julius, remember?” He sits down at the picnic table between Mei and Penina and puts an arm around each of them. “I’m not upset. I’m just trying to show you that this stuff doesn’t have to be embarrassing. I want you to be excited and curious, but you also need to respect other people’s bodies the same way you’d want them to respect yours.”

He’s right, Penina thinks. It’s not right for her to be staring at everyone when she’s still self-conscious at getting stared at herself. She looks down at her erection. The shenanigans haven’t helped it go down: right now she’s possibly harder than she’s been all day, even harder than when she was inside Zuri. "I just don't know if I'll ever get used to this..." she admits. "And it’s hard not to stare when everyone else is naked too."

"Hey, there's nothing wrong with looking," Julius promises. "Try not to stare, but no one's going to judge you if you do. We know you're new to this. And if you really want to look at someone's body, you ask them. Worst they can do is say no."

Penina's mind reels. Was that really an option this whole time? "Really? I can just go up and say 'I wanna look at your body?'"

"Sure! But you need to respect them if they say no.” Julius pats her on the shoulder. “That goes for you two, too,” he tells Mei and Zuri. “If you were really curious about my body, ask. Don’t force yourself on me or try to trick me.”

This changes everything. Before, Penina had been too embarrassed by her boners to do anything gutsy. But this pep talk is making her second guess that. Maybe if she was more bold and assertive, who knew what could happen?

"So... is this a specific person you have in mind, or is this all hypothetical?" Julius asks.

Penina says...

[i]1 - Nothing. She's not about to tell him her crushes.[/i]

[i]2 - "It's Aza."[/i]

[i]3 - "It's Zuri."[/i]

[i]4 - "It's Mei."[/i]

[i]5 - "It's Aza's and Zuri's mom."[/i]

6 (RUNNER UP) - "It's you."

[b]7 (WINNER) - "It's everyone."[/b]

====

Penina is at a loss for words. Since the moment she undressed she’s been flooded with new feelings and desires, and she’s struggling to untangle them all. 

She debates whether she should say anything at all? She’s watched enough television to know about the ‘overprotective dad and husband’ trope. Will Julius get mad if she admits that she’s been ogling his wife? His daughter? Right now she’s trapped in unfamiliar territory with no escape route, next to a tall, imposing, sexy authority figure, and part of her feels cornered. She wants to tell him everything, but where does she even start? 

Fortunately, Julius is being patient with her. He coughs awkwardly. “Um, sorry. Maybe that was too personal,” he admits.

The other girls watch this unfold. Zuri doesn’t understand why peppy, funny Penny is suddenly being shy. Mei understands perfectly well what’s going on, but she feels much the same. She tugs on Zuri’s arm. “She’s not going to get in trouble with your dad, is she?” she whispers.

“Ohh…” Now Zuri gets it. And she quickly comes up with a plan. She rolls forward so that her belly is resting on the bench, her hands landing in Penina’s lap. One paw wraps around the base of her shaft. “Don’t worry. Penny comes with a built-in lie detector!” She taps the tip of the pseudocock with a claw on her other hand: it has a wider opening than Aza and Julius have, and her finger plugs the hole: the inside is soft and slick, like when she practiced putting a finger in her own privates. She tries to imagine how hyenas mate, and wonders if she can convince Penny to fool around with one of her own brothers sometime. “Alright, Penny. Be honest with me… were you thinking about how good my insides felt?”

“Wait, what?” Julius asks. He sounds shocked, but not upset.
Penny tenses, fearing retribution should she confess her desires in front of Julius. But her organ throbs, pressing in on Zuri’s finger from all directions. “Ohoh, you were thinking about me,” she teases. “It’s okay, Penny. You’re not going to be in trouble. I like you too.” Penny doesn’t seem relieved though, which makes her wonder. “But it wasn’t just about me, was it?”

Who to ask about next? She remembers how interested Penny had been in Aza’s cock. “What about my brother? Do you like him too?”

The whole group turns to look at Aza and his mom, who are chatting next to the woven basket of still-as-of-yet unidentified supplies. She’s laying back as he applies some kind of body paint on her face, his tail wagging like an exuberant puppy. The afternoon sun makes their coats shine brightly with their many colors, and Penny is caught by the beauty of both of them.

Zuri goes on the offensive. “You liked eating his rocket, didn’t you? Getting his scent right in your snout. I bet you were thinking about the other places he could put it, weren’t you?” Zuri feels another pulse around her finger as Penny’s body reacts involuntarily. “I thought so. And I saw you looking at my mom back there! I bet you’d love to put it in her, wouldn’t you? Feel her wet spade all around you…” Her hand pumps slowly, giving Penny a mischievous squeeze.

Penny squirms, feeling like a bundle of undirected energy. She can tell that no one’s mad at her, but it’s still embarrassing. There’s something building up inside her, and she feels like one way or another, she’s about to explode.

Julius is shocked. He’s never heard this kind of overtly sexual language from her daughter before; she’s growing up faster than he though. “That’s enough, Zuri.” Julius puts his paw on his daughter’s, halting her movements. “I think you’ve made your point.”
Zuri huffs and lets go of Penny. She was just starting to have fun too…

“I’m sorry,” Penny confesses. “It’s just really confusing. I’ve had crushes before, but never so many so fast! When we first got naked, I thought I was having a crush on Zuri. But then I got curious about Aza and started crushing on him too. Then Miss Omeda came to check on us and she was really pretty… but she’s your wife and I’d never make her cheat!”

Julius hugs her, and he chuckles. His deep laughter reverberates through her body. “You know, you don’t have to have a crush on someone to feel this way. Attraction doesn’t have to be this deep and romantic thing. Sometimes you’re just horny, and that’s okay too! 

“Just… horny?” Penny loves gossiping about who’s dating who, but she’s never tried to separate attraction from romance before. “And it’s okay for me to be horny for your wife?” 

He keeps hugging her. “It’s not cheating for you to find June attractive. She’s one sexy lady! She’d love to hear that she makes you horny.”

Zuri nods. “Mom is really pretty,” she confirms. “Everyone knows it.”

Penny feels relieved. “Okay, good. Because uh… to answer your question, I think I’m horny for everyone here. Even you.”

Julius gives her a noogie, then wraps his arm around Mei, pulling all three girls close to him. “Aww, I’m flattered. I must be the luckiest guy on the planet right now if I’ve got three horny girls all into me like this.” During this conversation, his red rocket has fully emerged, a pillar erected between Mei’s face on one side and Zuri’s on the other. “Looks like you girls won the boner game,” he told them. “And all it took was some honest conversation.”

Each of the girls considers what to do now.

Mei's been listening and processing everything. It's like she's stepped into a whole new world, leaving behind her parent's strict expectations for a freewheeling alternate reality where anything goes. She feels liberated, and not just because of the alcohol. She really wants to explore this new world, push some boundaries.

“It’s really okay for us to do naughty stuff as long as we ask first?” She asks. “In that case…”

[i]1 - To Penina: "Do you want some help with your boner?"[/i]

[b]2 (WINNER) - To Julius: "Can I touch your privates?"[/b]

Zuri feels triumphant. She got Julius hard, she got Penny to admit her feelings for everyone, and she still has those photos to impress Mei. But the afternoon is still young. Where to go from here?

[i]3 - Show off the pictures; some of them are spicy![/i]

[b]4 (WINNER) - Take some more pictures or videos of whatever happens next.[/b]

Penny’s not shy about her boner any more. She wants to party. But with who?

Penny decides:

[b]5 (TIE) - To go see what Aza and June are up to, maybe even flirt with them.[/b]

[b]6 (TIE) - To see how far she can take things with Julius.[/b]

====

Penny is once again at an impasse. She’s been offered her pick of the litter at an all-you-can-ogle buffet and is having trouble making up her mind. Julius has been so patient with her, and she’s realized just how safe she feels around him. She wants to press her head into his soft dad-bod belly and feel his heat warming her. She wants to feel his penis between her fingers. She imagines climbing into his lap and working his cock between her legs, letting it stretch her rear end while her own erection dances in front of her for Mei to play with. All that could be hers if she wanted it.

But then she’d be ignoring Aza and June. She looks over at the mother and son pair. They seem perfectly content to just keep doing… whatever it is that they’re doing. She still has no idea what’s in that basket of theirs, and she’s only gotten more curious about it.

She recalls her original decision to hang out with Aza, sidelined by her unfortunate erection and her embarrassment thereof. Well, the erection is still there, and harder than ever, but the embarrassment is almost entirely gone. She wants to hang out with Aza, but that would mean abandoning Julius, who’s been so nice to her. At least Julius would still have two other girls to play with.

It’s not fair that she has to choose! If only there was a way she could enjoy them all.

And then she realizes there is. She could just invite them over here, assuming they aren’t in the middle of something important. That way no one has to be left out. She’s feeling more confident now, so despite her current raging hard-on, she doesn't feel like she needs to hide it or take care of it.

She hops off the bench. “I’m going to invite them over here with us,” she announces.

“Yeah, do that!” shouts Zuri, energized. She’s sitting with her feet up on the bench, one finger idly pressed into her slit. Of the group, she’s the least desperate for Julius’s physical intimacy: she gets that all the time at home anyway, so she doesn’t feel threatened or jealous. She wants her friends to enjoy themselves, and watching them have fun warms her heart… and her nethers.

Mei’s been watching Penny to see if she’s going to make a move on Julius. Since it seems like she’s not, Mei makes a move of her own. She slides up to him, resting her head on Julius’s side the same way Penny was a moment ago. His fur is soft and part of her just wants to take a nap like this. She’s jealous of Zuri: her own father was always locked in his office, and he would never let her do even the nonsexual parts of this intimate encounter. Mei knows that he loves her, she just wishes he would show it more. She craves the expression of love that seems to be pouring off of Julius right now.

All the more reason to make the most of him while he’s here.

“Hey, Mister Julius?” She’s not used to calling him by his name, but if it’s how he wants to be called, she’ll do her best. She watches his erection bobbing in the air in front of them, and a hungry part of her urges her to reach out and touch it. But she remembers what he just said about asking. “Can I touch your privates?”

“Go for it, kiddo; just be gentle.” He hooks his arm around her, bringing her in close. “Have you done this before?”

She shakes her head and stretches her arm, her fingertips brushing against the smooth red skin of his rocket. She can feel his body heat, and his heartbeat. 

“Take your time then,” he advises her. “We’ve got all evening.”

With how relaxed she’s feeling, that’s not going to be a problem. Her body is slack, her mind free of racing thoughts. She could just lie here forever. She feels warm… is that because of his body heat, or the alcohol she drank? Or maybe it’s just the ambient heat of Sahara Square. Regardless, she’s horny but lethargic, so some slow touching sounds just fine by here. She kisses his pecs, feeling his hairs tickling her chin, his sweat salty on her lips.

“Aww, you two are adorable,” Zuri tells them. She holds her phone up. “Is it okay if I take some pictures and video?”

Right now, Mei’s okay with just about everything and she utters a lazy affirmative grunt. Julius gives Zuri a thumbs up, and she starts rolling the camera. Julius nudges Mei. “Say hi for the camera, sport.”

Mei looks directly at Zuri’s phone camera and grins, feeling a naughty rush. Without breaking eye contact, she tilts Julius’s cock toward her face and gives it a kiss on the tip.

Meanwhile, Penny makes her way over to the rest of the family. Her fears about them feeling left out turn out to be completely unfounded, because as she gets close, she sees what they’ve been up to in everyone else’s absence:

[i]1 - Aza’s been telling his mom about everything that happened downstairs.[/i]

[i]2 - Aza is massaging his mother.[/i]

[i]3 - Aza is sucking at his mother’s breasts.[/i]

[i]4 - Aza and his mother are kissing.[/i]

[b]5 (WINNER) - The pair are having slow, tantric sex.[/b]

====

Penny has a spring in her step as she goes to check on Aza. There’s a shrubbrush garden in the middle of the yard that’s obscuring her view of him and his mom, so she can’t see exactly what they’re doing. As she rounds it, the two gradually come into view.

June is laying down but with her back arched up. Her legs are spread in a v-shape in front of her, and she’s leaning back, maintaining her balance without needing to support her weight with her hands. It looks like a yoga pose, and Penny remembers how fit she is. She must have a strong core. Her full breasts hang above her sturdy abdominal muscles, and Penny’s jealous of her beauty.

Aza is occupying the space between her legs, holding her breasts in his hands (Penny assumes he’s doing it for balance, although it certainly [i]looks[/i] naughty.) She’s gripping his back, both holding him in place and holding herself up. His body is trembling, but her hands steady him. Her body exudes tranquility.

They must be doing some kind of yoga, Penny thinks. She knows that yoga can get really strenuous. This stretch must be a doozy, because Aza is really sweating.

“You’re doing great, baby,” says June as she cradles her boy. “Deep breaths. When you’re ready, push in and out slowly.”

“Okay, mom.” Aza complies, taking a [i]humongous[/i] breath of air. His body inflates with purpose and then he pulls in closer to her as he breathes out, and then pushes himself upright as he breathes back in. 

“Do you feel it, Aza?”

The boy shakes his head yes, straining to vocalize as his body is pushed to new extremes. “Oh my god, yes, it’s so tight…”

Wow, his muscles must be super tense if they feel tight after a simple stretch. Penny chuckles as she rounds the corner. She knows it’s yoga, but based on their words and the positions of their bodies, it almost sounds like they’re…

The pair’s lower bodies finally come into view. Aza’s cock is pressed into the fur of his mother’s inner thighs, and as he leans in again, this time Penny can see his slick rocket vanish between June’s legs.

They’re having sex.

Penny’s mind reels, but her own erection gives an approving throb. For Penny, sex is something to spread rumors about in hushed whispers with your friends on the bus. She doesn’t claim to be an expert on it. But she’s pretty sure that doing it with your mom is scandalous.

And like any scandal, Penny can’t help but obsess and watch, and hope that she doesn’t get noticed.

It’s hard [i]not[/i] to notice her, what with her standing out in the open like that, and June sees her immediately. “Hello there, Penny.” June isn’t embarrassed at all to be caught with her son in her. “Are you spying on us?”

There’s mirth in her voice; is she teasing? She has to be teasing.

“Penny?” Aza panics. He can’t see her from his position, but an extra set of eyes is more than he was expecting when he agreed to this. He tries to yank his cock out of June, and falls over onto his side. Now separated, Penny can see…

[i]1 - He’s wearing a condom.[/i]

[b]2 (WINNER) - He’s [i]not[/i] wearing a condom.[/b]

====

Penny is stunned into silence. No amount of socializing and gossiping has taught her how to handle walking in on her best friend’s brother raw-fucking his mom. Although she thinks to herself that “walking in on them” isn’t really the right term, since they were doing it right out in the open. They didn’t seem to care about getting caught either. (Well, June didn’t care; Aza looks a little embarrassed.) Is Penny crazy for thinking this is weird?

June pulls a rag from the woven basket and dabs between her legs, cleaning off the juices and making herself more presentable. Aza gets up on his knees, hiding his erection between his hands. It’s a big change from earlier, when he wasn’t embarrassed about his boner at all.

As soon as it becomes clear that Penny isn’t going to say anything, June breaks the silence before it can become awkward. “So how are you liking the party, Penny? Taking a break from fun with Zuri and Mei?” Seems like she’s just going to ignore what she’s been doing with Aza, play it off like nothing. Then again, she’s also politely ignoring Penny’s raging boner that’s determined to not go away. Penny realizes she’s just trying to be considerate by not making things more awkward.

“The party’s great,” says Penny, truthfully. “Thank you so much for setting this up.” She looks back toward the picnic bench and realizes that June had a pretty clear view of Penny getting handsy with her husband. “Were you watching… everything?”

June’s smirk reminds Penny of the faces Zuri makes, but more mellowed out: the same mischievousness, but tempered by decades of wisdom. “Aza and I may have been watching,” she admitted. “You and Mei had quite the effect on him.”

Aza looks horrified. “Mom!”

And suddenly his embarrassment makes sense. He wasn’t embarrassed to be hard. He’s embarrassed to be seen with his mom around his crush.

But June clearly isn’t afraid of making her son squirm. She lays her head against his side, wrapping her arm around his back. “I remember watching your father mount some of the local girls. It never failed to get me wet. You don’t need to be ashamed of being a growing boy, Aza. And quite the grower, too.” She squeezes his shaft, still slick with her juices. Their coitus interupted, his body is left eager for more, and his cock pulses in her grip. “You don’t need to feel threatened, Penny baby. Just because Aza loves his Mommy doesn’t mean he wouldn’t rather be with someone cute his own age~”

Aza is blushing hard. “Come on, Mom, Penny doesn’t want to hear about that, right?”

Penny knows that Aza is on edge (and [i]being[/i] edged; June hasn’t stopped slowly rubbing him.) As Penny sits down on June’s other side, the pair share a smile and he relaxes a bit.

“I don’t mind,” Penny admits. “Your family is different… but I’m having a lot of fun. I want to learn more.” 

This seems to please June, who places her free hand next to Penny, conspicuously [i]not[/i] touching her. Perhaps she’s waiting for permission? Consent seems really important to this family. “What did you want to learn more about? Ask away.”

[i]1 - What were you two doing when I came over?[/i]

[i]2 - Can I look at your body?[/i]

[b]3 (WINNER) - Can I play with Aza?[/b]

4 (RUNNER UP) - Can I watch you two keep going?

5 (RUNNER UP) - What’s in that basket?

Penny admires both mother and son.

She really appreciates how open and accommodating June is being, trying to make Penny comfortable even as she shows off her bare body. She’s holding Penny against her side in just the right way so that the girl feels safe and at ease. Somehow, her familial and nurturing nature enhances her eroticism instead of detracting from it. Penny takes a moment to just relax. She half-closes her eyes and listens, and she quickly picks up the sound of June continuing to stroke Aza’s cock right next to her. Her own cock pulses, eager for attention, and she watches and June’s hand hovers over it, but doesn’t touch it. She’s definitely waiting for permission, and Penny nods, giving it to her.

Experienced fingers wrap around her dick, and the rest of her body melts. Thankfully, June is there to catch her and support her. She could get used to this. She wonders if her own mother would ever do something like this for her.

She thinks that June is so sexy. With Penny sitting down and leaning against her side, the woman’s breasts are right at eye level, and if she leans forward she can see her cookie poking out from under her legs. She suspects that if she asked for permission to touch it, she’d get it, and she could even stick her penis in her if she asked nicely.

But at least at the moment, she’s more interested in Aza. It’s his birthday, after all.

“Can I play with Aza?”

As soon as the words leave her mouth, Penny realizes that it sounds like she’s asking to have sex with Aza. Not that she’s opposed to that; they already went pretty far in the basement. But really she just wants to spend time with him on his birthday.

“Of course you can.” June slips her hands beneath the two cubs' rears and pulls them up onto her knees. Then, with an arm wrapped around each of them, she continues stroking them. Their legs bumping up against each other, Penny and Aza blush and share an awkward glance, and then slowly, gingerly, the pair go in for a kiss.

Their wet noses bump, then slide against each other, and their lips press together for the first time. Her tongue pushed against his lips, and after a moment of hesitation, he opens his mouth so she can explore its contours. The inside of his mouth tastes salty on her tongue.

After a bit, they break the kiss and cuddle up against June.

“This is nice,” Penny admits. Her whole body is relaxed now. “Different, but nice. I’m sorry I shocked you. It’s okay that you have fun with your mom. You don’t need to be embarrassed.”

“We weren’t doing it for fun!” Aza suddenly insists. “It wasn’t like I was ignoring you and having fun without you or anything.” He suddenly blushes and looks away. “And that’s not really why I was embarrassed,” he mumbles. 

“I don’t understand.”

Aza takes a deep breath. “I was telling Mom about the stuff we were doing downstairs. I felt like I kind of blew it down there. I didn’t know what I was doing, and I didn’t last that long. I thought that maybe if Mom gave me some pointers, I could make you happier next time.”

Wait, [i]that’s[/i] what he was so embarrassed about? Penny is still trying to figure out how things worked around here, but she never would have guessed that Aza was dealing with performance anxiety. “What? You did great,” she says.

“That’s what I told him,” says June, making a point to cuddle her son extra hard. “But Aza really wanted to impress you, so I asked Aza if he wanted to try some Maithuna.”

Now that was a word Penny never heard before. June notices the lack of comprehension on her face because she adds: “Think of it as a type of yoga.”

Penny has trouble believing this. “Okay, but… yoga where he sticks his dick in you?”

“It’s very traditional where we come from,” June explains. “It’s not about sex, it’s about discipline and self control.”

Come to think of it, what spotted Aza doing with his mom did have a very different mood than the frenzied frantic humping they’d gotten up to downstairs. Maybe June is onto something. Penny does her best to keep an open mind. “So you’re not supposed to like it?” she asks.

June chuckles. “Oh no, we still enjoy it. Enjoying it is natural. Sometimes it feels like the animals in this city forget how to be animals, but there’s lots of things that are perfectly natural.”

“Like not wearing clothes?” Penny interjects.

“Right. And exploring our bodies.”

Penny reflects on this. She’s never considered her family to be prudish, especially compared to more uptight families like Mei’s. But June is making a good point about living with nature. And not just with the sex stuff. She remembers how the family made all of the birthday decorations out of paper and rice, nothing that wasn’t biodegradable. She looks out at a yard that matches the ecosystem of the neighborhood and doesn’t have a bunch of invasive plants, or flowers that need to be kept alive with extra water.

And more than anything else, they seem happy.

“Can I learn more about Maithuna?” she asks.

“What would you like to know?”

“Well… maybe you and him could keep doing it and I could watch?” Penny asks hopefully.

Aza thinks about it. “Yeah, okay,” he decides. “But I also want to do more stuff with you. I kind of bailed on you before…”

“How about you practice with me, and then you can play with Penny some more?” June suggests. “I already have some ideas.”

“Yeah, that works.”

Penny has to contain her excitement. This “Maithuna” thing might be normal to them, but to her it’s jaw-dropping and she wants to see just how far their customs go.

June releases Penny, and she crawls away to get a comfortable viewing angle. Her gaze shifts to the woven basket. It’s been teasing her all afternoon. “Hey, what’s in there?” she asks.

“Those are for the traditional lycaon birthday celebration,” says June. “Why don’t you take a look?” Penny complies, squatting over the basket and peeking inside. She discovers:

(Vote for anything you want, there doesn’t have to be one winner here)

[b]1 (WINNER) - body paint[/b]

2 (RUNNER UP) - jewelry

[b]3 (WINNER) - revealing clothes[/b]

[i]4 - candles[/i]

[i]5 - colored sand[/i]

6 (RUNNER UP) - powdered dyes

[i]7 - aromatic jars[/i]

Meanwhile the mother and son get up and reposition themselves. June lies down on her back and spreads her legs, showing off her glistening spade. Aza gets between her legs and rubs his cock against her cookie, already slick with arousal.

Penny watches with bated breath, eager to see Aza plunge back into the hole that birthed him. Her hand snakes between her legs and presses into the puffy flesh of her pseudoscrotum, while her cock stands proud in front of her, twitching.

But right before Aza penetrates, he stops. “Hang on, do you think Mei would want to watch too?” he asks.

“Like a group lesson?” asks June. “I wouldn’t mind.”

Penny realizes that Mei is getting her own kind of lesson with Julius right now. Would it make sense to combine them into a single group activity? Or maybe they should be kept separate.

[i]1 - Penny suggests getting everyone together in one place and having fun as a group.[/i]

[b]2 (WINNER) - Penny suggests that this should just be between the three of them.[/b]

Back by the picnic table, Mei is taking in Julius's cock, figuratively and literally. She runs her tongue along the underside of his red rocket, occasionally flicking it up to explore his glans. The bitter taste of his pre lingers on her tongue, and she's not thrilled by it. But she takes it as evidence that he likes what she's doing. She's making him feel good.

But she wants to feel good too. She stands up and turns around, then bends forward and spreads her folds with her fingers. "It goes in here, right?" A rivulet of arosual dripped from her exposed insides, and it tickles. Just this morning, the thought of presenting herself like this to an adult would have mortified her, but it's amazing what a relaxed environment can do... along with some liquid courage.

Julius admires the anatomy that Mei is offering just inches from his own. Between her soft plush folds is a hole that's so wet, warm, and inviting all she would have to do is sit down in his lap. "That's jumping forward a bit, but yes," he tells her. "Are you sure you want that? We can stop at any time..."

"It's fine, she already did it with Aza," Zuri tries to helpfully offer.

But hearing this only makes Julius more concerned. A giggling Mei goes to sit in his lap, but he stops her by putting his hand on her butt and pushing back. "Hold on. You two had sex?"

"Was that... bad?" Mei asks. This family has been so laid-back, she's had trouble figuring out exactly where the line was, and now she's worried that she crossed it by accident.

"Not bad, just... Zuri, we told you to talk to us if you felt like... trying any of this. I'm not upset at you, Mei, because you didn't know. But Zuri and Aza should know better than to just fool around like that." This is a lot for him to take in. He should probably discuss this with his wife before things escalate any further.

He stands up and turns off the grill. They've all had their fill anyway. "Come on, let's go talk to the others."

Mei can't help but feel like she did something wrong. Maybe Zuri shouldn't have mentioned her having sex with Aza in the basement. "Wait, are we still going to..."

"We will," Julius promised. "I just need to have a talk with Aza and Mom first."

---

Meanwhile, Penny carefully separates out some of the different items in the basket. The most plentiful thing in the basket is clothes, but clothes that would be considered quite risque... if not for the fact that the family is already naked at home. Penny wonders whether putting on lingerie would be more or less lewd than their current outfits. June would probably come up with some excuse about they're just expressing themselves, and panties with a hole in the crotch aren't [i]inherently[/i] sexual. Penny's not sure she would be convinced.

There's other items in the basket too: body paints and powdered dyes. Penny remembers seeing Aza putting face paint on his mom earlier; this must have been where he got it.

She hears Aza and June moving back into position and puts down the party supplies. No way she's going to miss this. As she scrambles to get a good seat to watch the fun, Aza's question reminds her that her original goal was to get everyone to recongregate. Mei would definitely want to see this, she thinks. Also, she doesn't want to miss out on Mei and Zuri's escapades with Zuri's dad. Better to get them all in one place where everyone can see better... and where Zuri can record and send her the recordings after.

Okay, it's decided. "Let's get everyone together," she agrees. Then she looks up to see the rest of the party headed their way. "Actually, never mind. They're coming here." Looks like the whole family is about to get a show.

"Does that mean I can go ahead and stick it in?" Aza asks hopefully. He knows this is just an exercise, but he can't help but get excited. Being inside his mom felt so amazing in the moments before Penny interrupted them, and his body yearns to give it another go. And once he has this practice under his belt, he'll be able to do a better job pleasing Penny and Mei.

"Go for it," June affirms. "And remember, take it slow."

Penny gets on her knees right next to the mother and son pair. She wants as close a seat as she can get to the imminent incest. She doesn't care about June's insistence that this is just "yoga." This is fucking. Aza is about to fuck his mom and Penny has a front row seat. Her fingers grip her pseudoscrotum tightly, rubbing the folds of her fused labia.

Aza's dark cock is covered in a sheen of sweat and pre as the tip rests against June's spade. Below his body, his balls are clenched tight to his body. He's already wound up like a spring, and Penny doesn't blame him. Everything about this is unbelievably hot. June is gorgeous, laying on her back naked in the garden. She's one with nature, and the look that she's giving Aza is some combination of welcoming and sultry. She wants this as much as he does.

Aza slowly pushes his length inside her, and Penny watches June's groin bulge ever so slightly as he spreads her tunnel wide. It looks almost mechanical, like a oiled machine. But she hears him exhale audibly as every inch of his cock is squeezed by her hot muscular insides: mechanical or not, the pleasure is real.

This is the first time Penny has ever watched someone else have sex, and she's hooked.

Aza is already sweating. "Holy cow... how do you feel so good?" he asks.

June takes it as a compliment, but also a learning opportunity. "Practice. I'm not just laying here, you know. I'm using my muscles." She demonstrates by giving her pelvic muscles a squeeze, and Aza gasps. He's not even moving right now but it feels like she's working his cock.

"So that's how you feel so much better than Mei..."

June's voice suddenly gets serious. "You were doing this with Mei?" Then she shakes her head. "We'll talk about that after. For now, just do the motions that we talked about."

Aza nods and rolls his hips back, his cock sliding out of her until it's fully removed from her confines, his wet cockhead twitching in the cool air. Then he pushes back in, relishing the overwhelming warmth. He repeats these slow deliberate thrusts, taking his time, savoring the heat that's squeezing his cock from all angles. 

The others finally arrive. Julius stands over his wife and son, watching them approvingly. Mei, like Penny, is shocked into silence, but she can't stop watching. Zuri gets on her knees next to her brother.

Julius's lips twist into a wry smile. "Enjoying your mother?" he teases.

Aza grunts, and his pace falters as he slips jerkily inside her. When Aza started he wasn't expecting an audience. Practicing Maithuna alone was one thing, but doing it in front of his friends is something else altogether. Sweat is running down his legs.

"Hush now, let him focus baby," June chides.

Julius sits down with his back against the yard's lone tree. He pats his lap, and Mei gets his drift. She sits down in his lap, facing him, and his cock slides between her cheeks, bumping against her tailbone. Her cooch presses into his pelvis, and despite the lack of penetration, it makes her feel lightheaded and tingly. Maybe there's more to sex than just dick-in-vag; a lot of this stuff wasn't in her textbooks. She shifts around in his lap, enjoying the feeling of their privates grinding against each other. She kisses his lips, like she saw in a movie once.

June puts one hand on flustered Aza's hip to help guide him back into position. "You're doing great," she whispers. But it's too late; Aza's lost his nerve and it's not coming back. His smooth motions disintegrate into cluimsy twitches. "Slowly," June reminds him. "Don't just madly hump. Stay in control." She puts both hands firmly on his hips and holds him back with surprising strength, forcing him to stay perfectly still inside her.

A blush returns to Aza's face. Not because his sister's best friend is watching him fuck his mom, but because he's having trouble following such a simple direction. It's like his body has a mind of its own, an insatiable need to stimulate himself with her insides. Staying still feels impossible. There's an energy rising inside him that needs him to move, and he doesn't know how to say no to it.

"Moooom..." The word spills from his trembling lips like the cry of a wounded feral. Everyone hears and turns to watch him, which only makes the problem worse.

"Careful now," Julius warns. "Not inside her."

June knows how to read his body language, and how to respond. Calmly but firmly, she pushes the palm of her hand against his pelvis, forcing his cock to slide out of her and spring free. "Take a breather, okay?" she tells him. The black shaft trembles in the air. And then...

[i]1 - Aza can't hold back. He explodes, covering June's belly with his seed.[/i]

[b]2 (WINNER) - Aza [i]barely[/i] holds on, but is reduced to a sensitive quivering mess.[/b]

====

Penny and Zuri crowd in on either side of the mother and son pair, eager to see Aza blow his load all over June's belly fur. They watch his dick throb, and his balls clench tight against his taint like a spring ready to break. He pants, his legs twitching.

June sits up and holds her son's cheeks in her hands. "Deep breaths, okay Aza?" she instructs him. "Hold it in. Let it pass."

Aza nods, his body tense. The air against his cock and balls is the objectively warm weather of Sahara Square, but compared to June's insides, it feels chilly. His body shivers, but he slowly relaxes. The feeling passes. He's still tense, but he's not about to explode at the slightest touch anymore.

"There we go, see? Practice pays off," says June, kissing her boy on the lips.

Penny and Zuri aww, disappointed that they aren't going to witness Aza spray his load. Which at least means that it's still in there, reasons Zuri, admiring her brother's balls. They're still pressed tightly against his groin, although not as tightly as they were, and they're moving slightly, like they're breathing. They're full of life.

"Be patient," June tells the girls. "You'll get your chance." She kisses Zuri just like she did Aza. "What brings you all over here?"

"That was my doing," admits Julius. Mei is still sitting in his lap, and with the show of Aza and June finished, she's once again investigating the red rocket that she's sitting on. She lifts up her bottom, trying to align it with her entrance. Julius takes a moment to help Mei ease onto his shaft, and he slowly exhales as she sinks down onto it. But he doesn't thrust, instead holding her close and letting them both acclimate to the feeling. With that done, he finally addresses his wife. "I think the kids are having sex."

June takes a moment to stare blankly at her husband, and the panda girl currently speared on his dick. "You don't say," she says dryly.

"I meant with each other," he clarifies. "And I think we ought to make sure they know how to do it safely."

“I was thinking the same thing,” says June. She watches Aza and Penny, now sitting next to each other on the grass. His tail wags with nervous energy, his dick still rigid and aching for release. Penny is gently feeling Aza’s balls, comparing them to her own pseudoscrotum. The softness in the young lovers’ eyes is unmistakable. “I don’t think Aza and Penny have done anything yet, but they will. And it’s better if it happens under our supervision, don’t you think?” Besides, she teased the boy long enough. His body must be desperate to cum now, and it’s her job to make sure he doesn’t do it in a place he’ll regret.

Zuri wanders over to Mei and Julius, squatting in front of them and flashing her vulva between her legs. She watches intently their point of connection, where her father’s red canine cock vanishes inside her friend. “Does it feel good?” she asks.

Mei nods. Her face is flushed, but she’s smiling. She feels lightheaded: is that from the heat, the alcohol, or the sex? She should probably go inside and cool off, but not just yet. “He’s so big,” she tells her. “It’s like I’m sitting on a pole.” She rolls her hips forward and back, and Zuri watches her dad’s dick emerge just an inch, slick in Mei’s juices. This close up, Zuri can hear the soft squishing noises coming from Mei’s gentle motions on his cock.

After a bit, Mei suddenly feels Julius wrap her arms around his waist and pull her up. His clock slowly slides out of her completely, making a loud suction noise, and then it throbs in the air below her. She frowns: just when things were starting to get really good! The experience was incomplete, interrupted. She needs more. “Hey!”

“Sorry,” grunts Julius. “I just need a moment.”

Zuri, seizing the opportunity, decides not to give him one. She slides between his legs and pops the tip of his twitching cock into her mouth, suckling the tip.

Julius gasps. “Zuri, baby, not when Daddy’s so close…”

But Zuri’s not about to stop. She pushes the meat deeper past her lips, feeling it fill her mouth like it filled Mei’s vag. She tastes something bitter and she wonders if she’s tasting Mei.

Julius groans and his body tenses. Mei, still being held, looks straight down and sees an amazing sight: Zuri working that red rocket with fierce determination, accompanied by the delightful sounds coming from Julius. Then, as she watches, Julius shudders, and Zuri’s cheeks puff out. Cum dribbles from her lips as she frantically begins trying to swallow the load rushing into her mouth. But it soon outpaces her abilities and she sputters, spunk spilling onto her chin and the sandy dirt below.

“Daddy!” he complains. “You didn’t tell me it was going to be that much! Aza didn’t make that much…”

Julius hugs his daughter tightly. “Sorry, baby. You didn’t know, but adults make a lot more cum than cubs. But hey, you know now!” She’s still young, so there’s a lot she doesn’t know. But she’s learning every day. Maybe he can help her with that. “In fact, do you want to learn more?”

She nods. She’s had a lot of learning experiences today, and she’s enjoyed most of them.

Julius looks down at his spunky daughter and smiles. “Why don’t we all go inside and get comfortable? Your mom and I will teach you everything you need to know.” He gently rubs her back. Then, he lowers his voice. “You can even have sex with your brother if you want.”

Zuri quickly and briefly glanced over at her brother, his cock still rock hard, teasing her. “Yes please,” she tells him.

June gets up and alerts Aza and Penny with a gentle touch on their shoulders. “We’re going inside,” she tells them. “And then you two can play, just like I promised.”

Aza swallows hard. He’s loving the pleasure and attention, but he feels teased. His penis, slick with his mom’s pussy juices, feels tortured in the open air. He needs to put it back inside something. He needs to cum.

Penny looks at the box of festival supplies, the paints and clothes and jewelry sitting out in the afternoon sun like a pirate chest full of tantalizing treasure. “What about those?” she asks.

June is happy that she’s so interested in the family’s cultural traditions. “We’ll have time for those later,” she promises. “After the sun goes down, we’ll make a campfire and break them out. That’s when the party will really start.”

The four cubs all get up and follow Julius and June, leaving behind the natural splendor of the yard for the private intimacy of the house.

The day’s still young, and they’ve got so much ahead of them. None of them can wait.
