"The three of you are ridiculous." She laughed as she stepped onto the sandy shore. "I am quite capable of walking on my own."
Reynaldo encircled her waist with his arm. "Maybe we simply need to worry for our own sakes and not for yours."
"Well, in that case..." she responded as the four of them walked through the forest and out into a lush meadow filled with fragrant wildflowers on the other side of the estate. Reynaldo glanced back to the new structure that represented their dwelling.
It was more of a castle made of sturdy crystal, moss-colored marble, and glittering gold. Nothing of its kind had ever been seen in Valliana before. The swans had helped rebuild. Many more would arrive when the birth of the child was imminent. Their home glittered in the sunlight, a welcoming place rooted in sunlight and beauty.
Reynaldo stopped walking and the swanshifters halted also. "I still cannot believe the changes in the land."
Martine stroked his arm. "You only needed to believe, my dear."
"No, I needed you." He turned to include Dion and Renn in his words. "All of you. I would never have believed it. I still can't believe this is all real."
He leaned down toward Martine. "I love you, swan maiden. Your presence touched a place inside me and the light grew so large that even the wickedness of the witch could not contain it."
She stroked his arm. "You tried to deny it."
He removed her cloak from her shoulders and spread it on the ground. Dion and Renn did the same with their own.
He rested a hand on her protruding abdomen and felt the life of their child growing inside. "I had no direction until you came here." He stroked across her skin. "Nothing gives me more joy than when we make love."
He lay her upon the swan feathers. She was a vision of golden skin surrounded by the elegant white feathers--an angel in the land, soon to give them a most precious gift of a child. He may have sired the babe through his body's seed, but this child would belong to them all.
He dropped beside her, and felt Dion and Renn join them, stroking and kissing. They offered him the protection of their love, and acceptance and pure pleasure filled him. He loved the woman, but he loved the men as well. They were all a part of him, of who he was, and he reveled in their joining.
Gently, he separated Martine's legs and moved over her, his cock pressed between her wet labia lips. He looked down at her, a question in his eyes.
She arched up. "Yes, my love," she whispered.
He thrust and his stiff, hard prick entered her, surrounded by her welcoming heat. He felt hands at his back, encouraging him. Looking up, he encountered the passion in Dion's eyes. As he pressed deeply into Martine, Dion leaned forward and kissed him, thrusting his tongue deep into Reynaldo's mouth. Renn leaned down to kiss Martine. He heard Martine's soft sigh of pleasure.
Thus, they were joined--a destined pairing for a lifetime in exquisite surrender, surrounded by the warmth of the sun, which beamed down upon them in acceptance. A cat and his swans. Who would have ever thought such a pairing would be so right? In the enchanted land of Valliana anything was possible.
