*There is a field on the property where we can let you really run.* He bumped her as they began to trot at an easy pace. She could do this speed all day. His bump was not something she could do all day. It sent her stumbling three feet to the side and she heard all of them laughing in her head. She hissed and Brenton let go of a small roar. She tried to roar back.
Cheetahs chirp. Of course they do. How could she forget that?
*What the hell was that?* Zachary growled.
*I was trying to roar!* She whined at him. She watched Troy trip over Gabe and Andrew just stopped moving. Brenton’s laughter filled her head and echoed.
*Oh, shit that’s wonderful!* Gabe cackled. *Do it again!*
*No.* She was embarrassed by her lack of a roar. Cheetahs, the only big squeaky cat.
*I can’t roar either.* Andrew chuckled to her. Other guys were nodding now at his confession as they all had stopped to look at her.
*You can at least give an intimidating snarl! She fucking squeaked, Andrew!* Troy howled in laughter and her head was going to hurt soon from the guys laughing at her.
She summoned up solid growl but it wasn’t nearly as good as Brenton’s earlier. She sighed and shook her head. Cheetahs were fast, deadly, and the sounded like an overgrown house cat that could squeak like a chew toy. These guys could turn her into a chew toy if they wanted to and she would just need to get used to that too.
*That was alright.* Troy gave a feline shrug to her. They had barely made it a hundred yard in the woods.
Brenton growled and started moving again. She watched all of them fan out and she stuck to Brenton’s side with Zachary on her other side. This time, Brenton had them moving a bit faster but still wasn’t really feeling what she knew cheetahs could do. It took what felt like forever to get to the field.
She bounced ahead of the two big males and fell in the grass.
*Go, the guys have it covered from all sides.* Brenton chuckled to her.
She stood up and let loose. From zero to sixty in only four seconds, she blew through the field. She went for a straight line for most of it and then let her body teach her how to turn. It was instinct and she got air with every massive stride, her tail counter-balancing her another piece of her highly specialized new form. She was almost done with the turn when she slipped and wiped out.
*HOLY SHIT I’M FAST!* She mentally yelled, laughing internally. She didn’t even feel bad for the wipe out. It happened but the run was just much fun. She felt a little sore from it and she was panting hard from the run.
Suddenly, Zachary was next to her and growling. She could smell he was feeling playful but shook her head.
*That’s all I got! Only got one run.*
*I know.* he growled and tried to pounce on her. She was able to scramble away from him and made distance, only to run into a growling Brenton. He swatted at her lazily as Zachary pawed her back end, making her fall.
*Yeah, yeah, pick on the small one!* she laughed. *I know. Cheetahs can run real fast for not very long.*
*Exactly.* Zachary threw his head into her and rubbed. She felt him rumble. He was purring. Brenton was too, and she could feel it since she now pressed up to him. It was comfortable.
*How long can we stay out here?* she pawed at Brenton’s front right leg.
*Not very long, we come out nearly every night for about an hour. Just to stretch it out. Though, we shift whenever we want in the house. Lay on our beds and sleep, lay about in the den for a nap. You know that.*
*I’m not sure Star would be okay with me as a cheetah on the bed with.*
*She probably knew what you were before you did.*
She thought back to picking Star. She remembered when Andrew entered the cat house and how every cat suddenly wanted his attention, except her Star, who was content in her arms. They much have smelled the similarities in the human looking males. She huffed at the thought. Even the real cats knew. Star must have noticed it in her and it warmed her heart a little bit.
They laid about for a long time, with all the guys eventually joining the pile hidden in the field of tall grass. Troy swatted her tail so she smacked him on the head. It was then that Brenton reminded her that cheetah’s couldn’t fully retract their claws like over felines. She needed them for traction so she had to be careful with them when playing with the guys so no one lost an eye.
She wrestled with Andrew a bit at one point, laughing when she out ran him and he was trying to pull her down. Gabe snuck up on both of them and knocked her over. By the end, though, they let her lay on top of all of them. They could crush her if no one was careful so there was no jumping on Riley.
They all purred when she was laying on them, so she didn’t feel guilty about it. She thought the purrs were pretty cute, even when she was in human form and they started doing it.
When they got back to the house, she remembered what they had all told her about shifting now that she done it once. She just needed to think about it. Put the cat away. She was slower then the guys but she did it. They were all standing and she was still on her hands and knees. She would need to learn how to stand and shift.
She stood slowly, readjusting to her human body. They all watched her and that odd scent hit her again. Then she looked down at herself and remembered she was very, very naked. She knew what the oddly good scent was now and it was also coming from her as she got the perfect view of all five of them.
She pushed past them, trying ignore their own nude forms. One of them growled softly at her as she passed. She ignored it, until a hand grabbed hers before she could open the chest.
Brenton pulled her upright and forced her to look at him.
“Riley. I need you to get over it.” He whispered to her. She was blushing furiously. She couldn’t get over it. She wanted him. Shit, she wanted any of them. They were all great in their own ways and she couldn’t handle it. She couldn’t handle that she knew they reacted the same way she did. “This is our life.”
She positioned herself so her body was turned away from most of them but couldn’t take her eyes off Brenton’s face. He was the Alpha and he held her there.
“I’m trying,” she hissed softly, trying to yank her hand away.
“None of us will do anything to do you that you don’t ask for specifically. Nudity doesn’t bother us, we’re reacting to you being embarrassed. Yeah, you’re hot. We want you but… that’s something that’s completely up to you. You are in charge of accepting us like that or not.” He finally released her. She blinked several times. Her Alpha just told her she was in charge of something. She finally looked back at the other guys, who were waiting patiently on her. None of them physically reacted even though she could smell it.
“You guys are so used to this that you don’t even…” she waved at them and it was Troy who shrugged with a laugh.
“Yeah, we don’t get hard just being seeing hot naked women. And remember, it’s rude to point out scents. Just don’t acknowledge it.” He waved his hand dismissively over it. She giggled hysterically and covered her face.
“This is fucking weird,” she mumbled and Brenton sighed.
“You’ll get used to it once you realize everyone is very good at ignoring a lot of things.” He pulled the chest open and grabbed her clothing, the yoga pants, tank, and jacket.
When he kept searching, she realized he was looking for her underwear. She pulled on her yoga pants first, since she knew she never wore any to begin with. She thought they were just an extra layer of clothing she didn’t want them to have to see. After tossing her top on, she finally stopped him.
“Where are your-”
“I didn’t wear panties or a bra, Brenton.” She tried to keep it a low whisper. “You can get dressed.”
This time he blushed and it was first time she’d ever seen it. She heard the tiny whisper behind her from Troy. Maybe she should have just not said anything… Or worn underwear. Oh, she was a fucking idiot.
“Oh shit. Gabe, tell me you heard that.”
Andrew and Zachary were both coughing loudly and she heard a few thumps when they must have been hitting each others backs or their own chests.
She ignored the comment and just went inside. She had realized out in the field how much better her hearing was. It was actually easier to ignore then the smells. She was used to ignoring comments and sounds from daily living, now she just heard more. The smells were just weird.
She landed in the den, on her favorite couch(the middle one) and sighed happily. That was fun and Brenton was right. She had to own the nudity or she would never be able to get over it. For them, it was natural. They probably lived with both male and female shifters for years and Andrew told her young shifters could only go runs with parents or guardians, so they all saw each other nude all the time. That included opposite sex family members and they just were raised to it.
She could do this. She could own it.
RILEY
Zachary strolled into the den soon after her and smiled down at her. He was in simple black sweats and a black tank top. She could see several of his tattoos now, like all of the nautical half-sleeve on his right arm and his tribal half-sleeve. His tank rode up a little, showing off his abs from being tight and his sweats rode low on his hips. He had one of those delicious Vs that made her want to drool. It was almost more sexy when he was wearing pants then when he was nude.
“We’re watching a couple horror movies tonight,” he moved her and took her couch. She gaped at him stealing the couch from her. “And I promised to make sure you always felt safe. So, we’re movie buddies this time.”
She chuckled at his words. That was sweet. Every movie, they forced her to sit with someone else. Like the time first time with Troy and Gabe, they kept things pretty innocent, letting her lay on them to watch the flick.
“Cute,” she teased him. “Big bad tiger wants to keep the little cheetah safe! Awww-”
He grabbed her and pulled her down to him. He was over a foot taller then her and he pressed her into his chest. Her ass hit his hips and he trapped her legs with his own.
“Did you seriously not wear underwear to this run?” He growled low to her. She felt his chest rumble behind her and blushed.
“Yeah. For some reason, I felt better just having less clothing to deal with.” She tried to shrug it off like it wasn’t a big deal.
“Fuck,” he groaned, letting her have a little space from his body. He pulled his hips back from her ass and she had a feeling she knew why. But it was rude to mention certain scents from people. As they had now reminded her several times though it wasn’t easy. It didn’t help that Zachary had started cuddling her like that though. This was his fault, not hers.
They were quiet for a moment. The other guys slowly got into the room. Brenton looked down at them and sighed with a chuckle before claiming his favorite couch on the left. Andrew ended up sitting with him, taking over half the couch. Brenton didn’t seem to care. Troy and Gabe both made a few lewd comments at the sight of her and Zachary until he snarled at them. They claimed their own couch and someone hit play for the movie.
Riley was ashamed to admit that the movie terrified her. She used Zachary’s arm to block her view of the TV during the worst parts in the beginning and pushed her entire body into his.
Only a quarter way through it, he took his arm back and grabbed her hip, holding it tightly. He then rubbed himself into her as he shifted to get more comfortable and she bit back a moan. Lord have mercy, he was hard as a rock.
“If you don’t want to watch,” he mumbled in her ear, “then turn around.”
She did turn around. Normally she liked a good horror but something about the girl from the Ring freaked her out way to much. This movie was the original ring movie as well, from Japan. They did it well.
His hands roamed to her ass and cupped it, pressing her again him tighter. She whimpered at the feeling of his erection pressing in her core. He had positioned her perfectly and her face was pressed into his chest. She didn’t know Zachary liked her this much.
“Zachary,” she whispered. “Do you… um…”
“Yeah, baby?” He growled softly back. She remembered what Brenton had said and moved her hips to roll against him. That brought about a near desperate growl. She wanted him, oh yeah. She had practically forgotten about all the other guys in the room, so pressed again Zachary that she could only smell him and herself. And they were both very aroused.
“Do you…like me?” she mumbled the words as quietly as she could.
“Yes,” he growled softly. “Figured you would have figured that out by now.”
“You can be pretty grumpy,” she poked his ribs.
“I’m not grumpy right now and look who I have pressed up against me,” his hand squeezed her ass as he spoke. “Movie time, we’ll talk after.”
He kept watching the movie, just holding her there nearly the entire time. At one point, she tried to wiggle for some obscene reason and he slapped her ass. That made her moan louder then she had ever dreamed. After that, he rubbed harder against her and she panted, holding him tightly by his tank top. The hand on her ass drifted to her thigh, dragging his nails over her yoga pants. She whimpered, moving that thigh over his legs, giving him space to move that hand between her legs and rub her through her thin yoga pants as the only barrier.
She was going mad and this tiger was the cause. She was turned on to the point that she had no other thought on her mind then solving it. He growled her name and moved a little again, letting his cock find it’s way to grind against her.
“Shit, you two,” Troy laughed. “People are here.” That snapped her out of it and she pushed back a little, looking up to Zachary’s face. He was looking down at her, a lazy smile on his face. He pulled her head close to his and nibbled her ear. She bit her bottom lip, holding back anymore noise.
“You want it,” he growled softly. “Why deny it?”
“Because I have the problem of wanting every dessert option,” she breathed back. She could barely use words much less make them sound normal. “But it would be wrong to sample them all. On top of that, I’m not going to eat one dessert in front of the others, it is just not okay.”
Every guy in the room started laughing. She wanted to believe the horror movie on was just funny instead of scary. She groaned tried to pull back from Zachary, who laughing harder then she had ever heard. Before she could get away, he rolled his back and made her sit on him. It pushed his cock right up against her and she couldn’t stop another gasp.
“Did you just compare us to a dessert buffet?” Troy giggled hysterically. Gabe couldn’t speak at all from laughing. He looked like he could barely breathe.
Brenton was howling with laughter, unable to look at her and even Andrew was losing it, practically falling off the couch he was on.
“Yup,” she responded with fake confidence. “I did. Got a problem with it?”
“Yeah I do,” Zachary growled seductively. “How do you know you favorite if you don’t sample them all?” He held her hips and pushed up and ground against her. She couldn’t stop the moan that time either. They all stopped laughing at that sound and she watched them all readjust their sweats. The room now smelled like all of them, aroused and not a lick of real jealousy to be found. She could feel the room heat up and her nipples were hard under only her tank, her jacket lost sometime earlier. One of Zachary’s hands roamed up and a thumb swiped over her left nipple. She whimpered, which made every guy in the room growl or groan.
“You can’t all possibly be okay right now,” she gasped, trying to pull off of Zachary. “This is so… perverted and very much not appropriate for-.”
“Most of us have shared women between us,” Brenton cut her off. He stood up and walked over to her spot on top of Zachary. He leaned down to her ear and she couldn’t bring herself to look at him. “You can tell him no, if you really want to. He won’t hold it against you. But I think we all know it’s going to happen eventually.”
She could barely breath, st
aring down at Zachary. She shook her head slowly.
“I want to but I can’t… not like this,” she whispered to him. The entire situation made her hot and bothered in the best way but she couldn’t summon the courage to do it. It could screw up everything. She couldn’t just fuck her way through all of them. Right? They were supposed to be family and pride. She couldn’t let this be her position in the pride, right?
Zachary groaned and flipped them again. She squealed and landed on her back with him pressed between her legs.
“Are you sure?” He growl, deep and hoarse into her ear. It made her fucking bones vibrate. “We could go up to my room right now.”
She didn’t know really how sure or unsure she was about sleeping with him. She knew she couldn’t do it front of the others, that was for sure. As for the rest, she didn’t want to sleep him and hurt the others. She didn’t want to hurt any of them. They all knew she wanted them and she found out today how much they wanted her. But she didn’t want hurt them, especially sweet Andrew who was probably losing his mind right now.
“I’m not on anything and it’s just been a wold day…” She waved a hand at the others guys in the room. “And I don’t want to ruin the good thing we have going. I don’t want to-”
“Alright,” he whispered. “When you’re ready, let any of us know.” He kissed her then, passionate and wild. His tongue did circles around hers until she moaned from it. “But this is game on, baby. We want you. And we’re going to make sure you know it. All of us and who ever you want or don’t want is your choice. You get the final say but that doesn’t mean we won’t work for it.”
Then he was off her and leaving the room.
“I need a cold shower,” he growled to them as he closed the door.
She laid wide eyed on the couch. This wasn’t what she was expecting from movie night. For three weeks, they had done nothing and now they were all over her. And Zachary of all people had been grinding against her in front of everyone. She had come today for her first shift and run. She hadn’t been planning on Zachary nearly shoving his cock in her in front of the room.
