While Scott spent his away time concerned for his mother and her desires for grandchildren, a different but related conversation occurred on the world of Alterra. While the master was away, the minions would play. Rather, they would discuss their role in the group while they prepared for their coming escort mission. It promised to be a simple engagement, but even so they needed to be ready.

“So, you don’t know anything about your family?” asked Scarlet. The red haired dragon girl finished boxing up the food that they would eat on their travels for the next few days then turned toward Mina.

“Not really, no. I don’t remember much from before the farm actually. It’s weird too, as I am sure that I used to know more.” replied the buxom minotaur.

“I have moments like that, so I understand.” said Scarlet.

“You do?” asked Mina.

The dragon nodded. “Yeah, it’s like one minute I knew something was true and the next it was like everything had changed. The only constant was Scott.”

“Hey, yeah. It’s the same thing with me. Most of my life before is a blur now, hazy at best, but everything after I met master is crystal clear.” said Mina.

Scarlet nodded again then hopped up onto the kitchen counter. Everything was ready for departure. The only thing missing was their beloved perverted master.

A moment of silence passed between the girls. It was a quiet reminder that they did not truly know much about each other. They knew their general motivations, but beyond that and their adoration for their master it was difficult to say that they were more than passing familiar with each other.

The dragon decided to change that a little. Mina had been with Scott longer than the others, longer than anyone save for Scarlet herself. Her previous attempts to learn more about the minotaur had failed to some extent, as Mina knew very little even about herself.

“Mina?” asked Scarlet.

“Yes?” asked Mina in a questioning tone of her own.

Scarlet looked to the minotaur and took in the sight of her feminine beauty. All of the girls were attractive, but Mina was her closest rival in the looks department as far as the dragon was concerned. “What do you want?”

“Want? What do you mean?” asked Mina. She tilted her head to the side then smiled at Scarlet even as her eyebrows pressed together. She was a little confused.

“I mean, with Scott, with any of this.” said Scarlet. She made an expansive hand gesture as though she were trying to bring attention to the entirety of the situation.

Mina smiled sweetly. “I just want more out of life than to be a milk cow. Isn’t that enough?”

Scarlet was slightly taken aback. Such a simply ambition was understandable, but her own dreams were quite a bit more ambitious. “Seriously?”

“Yes. Have you ever spent all day, every day, sitting around in a barn while waiting for an old man to come and molest your tits for profit?” asked Mina, her sweet smile never breaking character in the slightest.

“No, I can’t say that I have. I would have probably set him on fire.” replied Scarlet seriously. After a brief moment of thought she further clarified. "I would have roasted marshmallows as well."

Mina laughed warmly for a short time, then sighed slightly. “It was not so bad, but my only emotional outlets were soap operas and a guy whose arthritis was so bad that he could barely get the pump going. Compared to that, I already have everything that I’ve ever wanted.”

“So, if not Scott then anyone would do?” asked Scarlet.

Mina shook her head gently from side to side. “At first, sure. Now, I would not trade him for anything. Though, sometimes I still wonder if he’ll trade me.”

“I doubt that he would do that. He practically lives inside your vagina.” said Scarlet with a snort. It was a bit of a sticking point with her to be honest. She was Scott’s supposed number one girl, and yet Mina seemed to get a little more of that good sweet tenderness than anyone.

“What?” asked Mina with a surprised laugh, her eyes wide and her tone light.

Scarlet lifted her hand into the air and made a grand gesture. “It’s like his winter lair. Once he goes to ground in his wintering hole, he doesn’t come out for months. Rain or shine, even for holidays he never leaves it."

Mina laughed again, louder this time. That was such an absurd image that she could not help herself. “Come on! You’re exaggerating.”

"I’m surprised you can’t smell gingerbread cookies baking, he visits it so often.” said the dragon in a wry, but mildly serious tone.

The blond bombshell clutched at her stomach and nearly fell over as the image inside her mind expanded. Mina was a girl who loved a good laugh, and this was the best one that she'd had in days. Even so, once her laughter died down a little she shook her head. "You say that, but you’re pretty much the only one he regularly spends time with alone.”

Scarlet stared at Mina hard. “Now I know you’re kidding.”

“No. I’m usually with him when he’s with you. I think he finally gave Rowan a little alone time, and as far as I know Dianna has only been with him once or twice alone. Aruna is new, so who knows what that will be like.” said Mina.

“Mina, really?" asked Scarlet, her surprise obvious. Mina merely nodded her head.

Scarlet could not contain herself afterward. "But I thought he spent most of his time with you...” This was a strange revelation for her. Had she gotten it wrong?

The minotaur smiled softly. “I feel like he cares for me deeply. But let’s be honest. You’re the one he mentions when one of us bring up kids or marriage.”

Scarlet blinked. “Wait, but that’s just my motivation for being with him. That doesn’t mean he wouldn’t want to same thing with you.”

“He’s as horny as a satyr so he’d probably give us all children if we wanted it. That’s not the point.” said Mina.

“What is the point then?” asked Scarlet, her eyes slightly wider than normal. What did this really mean?

“Haven’t you seen the way that he looks at you? It’s like one of those soap operas that I used to watch.”

Scarlet shook her head. She adored the man, and felt that he had strong feelings for her as well. But if her memory was correct they had initially gotten together out of an act of hardcore sex related convenience. There was also something about a sandwich as well, but everything else about their initial union was a bit fuzzy.

Once Scott had suffered his loss not long after their meeting, she had wondered if their union had been a bad idea. It had taken a while to get the man whom she had first met to return to something approaching the confident, if odd, man he had once been. Most of that seemed to come about because of all of the other girls around him. Was she really so important to him? That beautiful moment near the waterfall had been wonderful, but it had still left her with a sense of uncertainty.

“Does he really look at me that differently?” asked Scarlet softly, her cheeks took on a slightly reddened glow and she could not look directly at her love rival. She was a proud dragon, but at the moment she was also a young girl lacking in certainty about her place in the world.

Mina reached over and lightly gripped the dragon’s shoulder. “Honey, he’s got it bad.”

The color of Scarlet’s face darkened further, and the bridge of her nose became slightly pink. Flush with emotion, she could not help but smile a shy but hopeful smile. Was it true that they really meant more to each other than a simple union? Could it be that they really were something more than two people with mutual goals and an overly active set of sex drives?

Scarlet bit her lower lip. Were the things he had sometimes said to her actually true? She was young, but she was not that naive.

She knew men said things, or at least the rare few men she had ever been around who had shown interest in her. She had never lain with another, but she had been approached by people who wanted to court favor with her and by extension her mother. Of course, it felt strange for her to remember such things when key points of her recent life were nothing more than a blur.

Scarlet had hoped that the things that Scott had said were his real feelings. But to have someone else notice it, someone who spent a lot of time with him as well... Scarlet practically felt like bursting with joy.

"Score!" exclaimed Mina as she snatched up Scarlet's tail. She immediately began to fondle it with wild abandon.

The dragon girl gasped loudly then pushed at her love rival. "What are you doing? You know that's sensitive..."

Mina pumped Scarlet's tail lightly in her fist. "Yep. Who's in charge now?"

"Me!" exclaimed Scarlet in annoyance. She could already feel the heat rising up within her body.

Deceptively strong fingers tightened around Scarlet's tail. "Oh? Are you?" asked Mina sweetly, before she pulled the dragon girl's tail upward.

Scarlet hopped off of the counter to avoid the unpleasant sensation and ended up stumbling forward. It had been a few days since anyone had played with her tail. It had been lonely and had become overly sensitive to such rough handling. "You'll pay for this you jiggly slut."

Mina laughed warmly. "I do hope so." she said, before she used her other hand to raise the hem of her dress.

Draconic eyes gazed upon the glorious, unclothed mound of her rival in love. Mina's sex was slightly swollen and obvious in its desires. The cow girl stayed at a constant state of readiness. "Damned slut, you're already wet..." muttered Scarlet.

Mina lifted one leg up to hold her dress out of the way then guided Scarlet's face forward. The dragon girl snorted then leaned forward and kissed the minotaur's soft, wet, slit. Her tongue slipped out and she began to tease her, just as she had been teased by the caress of her tail.

"What does second place taste like?" asked Mina cutely.

Scarlet stopped teasing Mina's slit long enough to say, "Gingerbread."

There was a brief moment of silence as their eyes locked together, and then like a damn bursting, the true battle began. Scarlet lunged forward and took Mina to the floor. "I will not lose to you."

"Try it. You might like it." replied Mina with a grin. Her cheeks had already grown flush from the intimacy and joy of the moment.

"Never..." remarked Scarlet before slipping forward to take charge of her rival's nubile body. "I'm the queen."

"Would the queen like some milk to go with her gingerbread cookies?" asked Mina, just before she stuck her tongue out a little and moved her hands back to rest on the floor above her head.

Scarlet looked down at the massive assets of her greatest rival. Were this a true battle, Mina would have an impressive arsenal indeed. However, they both knew how this game would end. "Little milk cow. Learn your place."

Mina leaned her head from side to side then puckered her lips a little as said, "Moo-ooo." in a song-like voice.

An incredulous snort split the air. Silence reigned for a time. Finally, Scarlet smirked in wry amusement. "Oh, the little cow likes to make jokes. Tell me if this is funny." Scarlet's hand slipped down to Mina's sex. Her fingers parted her folds and slid deep inside.

Mina shook her head from side to side, but another little 'Moo' escaped her lips. "S'not funny at all..."

Scarlet held Mina close and roughly massaged her sweet, aching, pussy while she whispered terrible things into her ears. The minotaur girl writhed and moo'ed with the splendor of it all. "That's right, moo for the queen you silly little milk cow."

Mina licked at Scarlet's neck a little and panted out several little moos as her queen continued to show her the proper place for her in their master's harem. Once Mina cried out with an ecstatic moo of bliss, Scarlet whispered. "You may come first, but you'll always be underneath me."

"Promise?" whimpered Mina sweetly. She gasped and panted a little as Scarlet had not stopped toying with her the entire time.

Scarlet kissed her softly on the lips. "Yes. Now be a good little cow and moo for me again." Mina continued to moo shamelessly for quite some time after that.
