The apophis finished with the bath first and returned home to gather those willing to coexist. Knowing they wanted to join was a relief, but now Zack was left alone with the tribe leaders. Being able to soak their entire bodies in warm water was bliss, and it showed on their faces. This caused them to be distracted by Zack's presence, but that faded after their exit.
"This feels amazing." Rosa stretched as her tail brushed against Zack.
"S-sorry." Rosa apologized.
"It's okay," Zack replied.
'He was checking me out earlier.' Rosa glanced down.
"Most humans are horrified by our bodies." Kamila scooted closer.
"Only one of my partners is human," Zack replied.
Watching Kamila flirt with Zack made Rosa feel weird. She found herself inching closer till their shoulders touched. With competition, nearby Kamila pulled Zack into his bosom. Rosa instinctively seized Zack by the waist yanking him back with tremendous force.
'Too tight.' Zack struggled to breathe.
"Do you even know what to do?" Kamila teased as Rosa eased up.
Zack was wrapped tightly against her body, and Rosa could feel his member pressing against her stomach. Her heart began beating rapidly, and this caused the grip to intensify. To save himself, Zack caressed her body making a soft moan release.
'There was a brief moment with Anaya.'
Zack prepared to slip free, but Rosa lowered herself till he poked the entrance. This caused hesitation, and his window of escape expired. Kamila appeared behind Zack pressing her breast against him.
"You're gonna break him like that." Kamila teased.
Feeling his breath growing shallow Rosa released her tail.
"I'm sorry!" Rosa tried to exit the bath, but Zack grabbed her hand.
"It's okay my body is used to it by now." Zack's eyes went gold as the bruising along his ribs faded.
"You sure you can handle us both," Kamila whispered.
"I have no doubts about that, but my companions expect me to be working," Zack replied.
"I think this is a great way to unite our people don't you agree?" Kamila asked Rosa.
Rosa said nothing, but seeing the flushed face, and her staying put Kamila smirked.
"See if you want us in your alliance you're gonna have to man up." Kamila started cornering him.
"That's a shame we could've used more tribes to fight the slavers. The array in the tavern will take you to the city, and reunite you with the others." Zack said while standing up from the bath.
'Called my bluff.' Kamila smirked.
'I probably squeezed too much, or it's my body.' Rosa sunk into the water.
"Not at all. Walking away isn't easy, but I can't let her win." Zack relayed to Rosa.
Rosa glanced back at Zack drying off to get dressed.
"I didn't mean to read you, but it was hard to ignore. I don't want you thinking something was wrong with you...Being pressed against you like that was very tempting. Your b-body is incredible." Zack relayed.
Once Zack was dressed he walked towards the door and turned back to smile at Rosa before leaving. Kamila missed the embarrassed expressions due to her thoughts. After he refused she began strategizing how to get Zack to mate.
"That's on me for having you let go. At least he wouldn't have gotten away." Kamila sighed scooting closer.
"I'm gonna move the tribe," Rosa mumbled.
"I've considered the same, but it won't be easy to persuade them," Kamila stated.
"If we can get them to visit the bath it will be a good start," Rosa replied.
They debated on other ways to convince the others to live in the same place. Knowing their tribes were waiting they finished up and made their way to the tavern. There they saw Zack organizing some temporal rings, and dolls appearing through the array with supplies.
"What's all this for?" Kamila investigated.
"These are care packages for master's adventures. He intended to give some to your people if you decided to stay in your village." Aida stated.
"You just give this away?" Rosa asked.
"Our people have more than we need," Zack replied.
"The array is set, and you can return to your people at any time." Aida smiled.
"When will we see you again?" Kamila asked.
"I'll be back in the city tomorrow night," Zack replied.
'I can convince them in a day.' Rosa slithered onto the array.
"I'll see you tomorrow then," Kamila smirked.
Kamila swept the leg of his stool and forced Zack to stand. In one swift motion, she kissed Zack before placing her visor back on. Watching Kamila disappear through the array Zack considered handling things differently.
'The others are waiting.'
"Are you coming?" Zack asked.
"I'm right behind you," Aida replied.
They walked into the carriage to join the others. After peering out the windows Zack realized they were inside longer than he thought. It was already afternoon, and it was only a mile from the next safe zone.
"Wanna take a break?" Zack asked Miu.
'I am a little sweaty.'
"Thank you," Miu replied.
Zack floated out the door, and Miu slipped in to freshen up. When Zack took his position they both looked up with suspicious looks. Why wouldn't he sit in the front with them?
"How did it go?" Octavia asked.
"I think we will see them again," Zack replied.
"Are you hiding something?" Kaya investigated.
"Why would you say that?" Zack replied.
"You didn't sit with us. Are you worried we will see the hickeys?" Kaya teased.
"Wanna check," Zack smirked while opening his shirt.
Kaya's eyes trailed down from his neck to the pecs and saw no marks.
"I could use a closer look." Kaya blushed.
Zack slipped off the roof to sit between them, and Kaya ran her hands down his chest. He wrapped his arms around their hips and held them close.
"So you didn't do anything?" Octavia asked.
"Kamila tried, and Rosa reacted to it, but nothing happened," Zack replied.
"Why not?" Kaya investigated.
"I walked out cause you girls were waiting on me, and I promised it would be business," Zack replied.
"You weren't tempted?" Octavia asked.
"A little with Rosa. It seems aggressive but adorable is one of my types," Zack replied.
"What's that supposed to mean?!" They shouted in unison while pinching his arm, and cheek.
