Lycus pov

"Okay...how about...You, Lycus?"

I glanced at River.

I've didn't mind the boys here. But strangers make me nervous.

I swallowed harshly as River squeezed my hand as I followed her into the dining room.

"How many meals do you eat a day?"

"Uhm, normally they make food twice, but there's always breakfast stuff in the kitchen."

She nods, scribbling down.

"When was your last physical exam?"

"An f-few months ago..." I shrug.

"Okay, great - when was the last time you were punished, and how did mister Haven handle it?" I swallowed harshly.

He put me over his knee, spanked me, then teased me and denied me my orgasm... face became bright red considering the last time I was punished.

"Lycus?" She questioned, "tell me some of Haven's punishments."

"Uhm...uh." Non-sexual punishment Lycus, think! Think!

"Extra chores! Or lines, sometimes he makes us write a paper on what we did was wrong..." I think she liked my answer because she scribbled the paper with a nod.

The rest of the questions were straightforward. A few were about the other boys.

She called in Vance to ask him questions. He pats my back, sitting down next to me.

He discretely slides his hand on my thigh under the table. He sent tingles up my thigh, all over my body. I wanted to melt into his touch.

"All the boys should have physical exams soon...the rest of the questions sounded good. What are some of your biggest concerns with the boys?"

"I don't have any extreme concerns with my boys, nothing I feel unfit to handle," Vance says confidently. His back was straight, and his voice was firm.

She nodded, scribbling down on the paper.

"Nothing like Silas again?" She cocked an eyebrow as Vance's confidence slipped again.

"Why don't you join the rest of the boys, Lycus." I nodded quickly, finally being excused.

I crashed into River, his arms wrapping around my body. "You did it." He stroked my hair. I held back my purs and just nodded.

It wasn't long after the front door clicked.

Vance walked in. "That wasn't too bad."

I furrowed my eyebrows.

"Why'd does it have to be me!" I huffed.

"You did very well." He walked over to me and pet what was left of my soft ears.

I didn't contain my purrs, letting them slip past my lips as Vance chuckled and continued petting me.

"Did he just...purr?" Kalon questioned with a strange look on his face. A mix of unsureness and weirded out.

"You haven't told him?" Vance looked at me, eyebrows raised. "Well, go on..." he smirked.

"I-I uhm, I'm a Neko, but my old home or where I was raised, Uhm, cut my ears. So it's easy to hide." I smiled as Kalon nodded.

"Can I touch them...?"

"Uhm - they are really sensitive," I whispered lowly.

"I'll be gentle..."

"Uhm...a-alright..." he walked over, slowly raising his hand. I ducked for just force of habit. He paused before I nodded, giving him the okay.

He pets my clipped ears. Each stroke was gentle, making me close my eyes. It felt good. I smiled with a purr.

They all chuckled, making me snap out of it, pulling my head away and becoming bright red.

River pulled me into his chest, kissing me gently.

Adorjan chuckles before slapping Kalon's ass as he walks past. Kalon's mouth falls. "You did not..." he whispers under his breath, chasing after Adorjan.

"I will force you into a piss kink!"

"Boys, consent?!" Vance calls out after them as Kalon chases him upstairs.

"Does Kalon have a...?" Declan raises an eyebrow towards the direction they left.

"Not gonna question it." Vance pinched the bridge of his nose like the rest of the boys made their way out.

"I heard them mention Silas..." I whispered.

Goosebumps rose on my skin. Vance must have noticed how he knelt in front of me.

"You don't have to worry about, Silas. Your safe here, I promise." I was still curled tightly to River's side. Vance kissed both of our heads.

"You're okay." River said, kissing my lips, he attempted to pull away, but I grabbed his wrist, pulling him on top of me. "I have studies. I have to finish..." I groaned loudly. I slipped out from under him. I was heading to the bathroom to pout.

Taking a glance in the mirror, I sighed dramatically. I wouldn't say I liked the way my ears looked. They were small and stubby. They didn't even poke through my hair.

A sharp pain shot through my stomach, making me grab the sink tightly to stop myself from collapsing.

My body grew warm very fast.

My stomach turned as if someone had stabbed me and spun the knife. I couldn't help but let out a groan of pain.

I fell to the ground, my back hitting the wall. My body went from warm to hot in a matter of seconds. I laid on the floor in the fetal position, holding my stomach, groaning in pain as tears started to fall.

I've felt similar things, never this bad, and it's been years.

I gasped as the pain grew. This was it. There's no way I'm able to survive this.

It was unbearable. Beads of sweat formed on my forehead as I groaned out.

"Lycus, are you okay?"

I could hear Vance knock on the door.

I just whined out in pain, hoping he'd get the message.

"Unlock the door, babe. What's wrong?" His voice was filled with worry.

"It hurts so bad...." I whispered out as my tears rolled down my face.

I hear his footsteps become fainter as he returns and unlocks the door.

He instantly crashes to my side.

His hands touch my forehead and my stomach.

"Honey, are you in heat? Have you felt this before?"

"Never this bad!" I yell out in pain.

He shakes his head, scooping me up.

He carried me over to his bed before leaving the room and returning with a small pill, a cup of water, and a cool rag.

He placed the rag on my forehead, popped the pill in my mouth, pouring a little water in.

"Swallow." His voice was firm, the same voice he'd make orders with.

"I-I feel so, Uhm - fuck." I groaned out.

"Desperate? If you orgasm or come, it may help.... "
