The kind of tantric sex the three of them had for several hours after they got to their room defied their own description but left each of them exhausted and only one completely spent. Laura lay face down, rump up, on the bed with a bemused expression on her scuffed face. She looked like someone who had been thoroughly ravished and felt that way too. Her fur was strewn and swept around in strange ways, sticky with seed and female juices and her ears were off to either side of her instead of sweeping gently down her sloped back the way they normally were. Her pussy drooled with the remnants of multiple orgasms from three donors and had she tried to stand she would have noted that her legs wouldn't close properly due to a soreness that would haunt her for the next few days.
Meanwhile, Jack and Sasha had moved to the shower and were deep in the throes of passion while the overhead rain nozzle of the shower draped them both in a thin film of glassy hot water. Sasha pressed her upper body against the glass and in the heat of the moment had her tongue lolling from her mouth. Her pressed squeezed against the glass even as Jack's hands reached around to grip them both and tug them off to either side. He slammed into her pussy with a wild frenzy, loud, wet, slapping noises filling the air around them even faster than the steam fogged up the room. They were both sweating from what places had not touched the water yet and every breath came labored to each of them. Having been rocked through several orgasms already Jack had a hard time reaching another one and felt as though his legs would give out before he was able to give her what she wanted. But he continued undaunted and relentless, stretching her pussy lips farther and farther apart and hilting every thrust.
She could feel the head of his cock brush past her g-spot every time he made another move and was at her breaking point again after so long. Every breath she made came out as a tiny plume of fire as the heat from her body rose to exquisite levels. She could barely control herself but was too exhausted and too deeply immersed in their lust to bother changing positions. She couldn't have stopped him even if she wanted too, so lost in his paralytic thrusts he was that he wouldn't be able to restart should she stop him even for a moment. So she continued waiting out the prolonged torment of their lovemaking and after several more minutes of frantic slapping and grinding and thrusting did he finally reach another orgasm, quaking as every last spasm drained him completely and left him utterly, and painfully, erect. She could feel every hot spurt of his seed fill her body and was impressed at the size of his load even after so many orgasms prior. She reveled in the feeling of it sliding deep into her belly and when he finally stopped shaking she fell into a relaxed position with him still buried inside her, wanting to keep it that way for a long while before they finally had to part.
She turned her head and kissed him, though his returned kiss was weak and breathless she could feel his love still shining through and guided him down to the floor of the shower, matching his pace so that she wouldn't remove his penis from her swollen nether lips until she couldn't keep it inside anymore. When she had him propped up against the side of the stall she turned on top of him and let her arms catch on his shoulders, leaning in to kiss him again and again in short sweet bursts. She was kneeling awkwardly, feeling the slow decrease in size of his cock as it finally slid free of her. She stayed like that for a while though, not making him lift a muscle as she gently washed every inch of him clean from the plethora of juices smearing his otherwise wonderful body. He twitched with every drop of water that touched his cock and seized up painfully and she knew they had ridden him completely dry of sexual energy.
He did manage to look her way as she finished up and smiled, "I don't think I'm up for the buffet tonight. Maybe tomorrow. 'Kay?"
The Blaziken chuckled to herself and found that once she started she couldn't stop. She was so amused by his little quip that she didn't even realize when Laura joined them in the shower.
"No more for me thanks, I'm full," said the rabbit Pokémon as a disclaimer. She just stood under the pouring water and didn't even raise a hand to help wash herself off; she was just too tired. Sasha too was fatigued, but still had the energy to hoist Jack out of the shower and dry him then go back and scrub down the Lopunny, gently at her most used parts and then dry her off too. When she had helped them both into bed beside each other she took the opportunity to fill the tub and take a long, languid bath by herself, letting the water soak deep into her feathers.
The evening had been one of the most memorable she had ever had, made even more enjoyable by the two Pokémon's mutual acceptance of each other and of their sharing arrangement with Jack. She sighed to herself and gently caressed her belly, wiping down the red plumage slowly and lulling herself into thoughts of Jack's seed, swimming inside her but having no affect on her at all. She found herself drifting back to her first night with the Lopunny, back at the hot springs when Laura had told Jack that she was trying to become pregnant with Jack's baby. She found herself wishing the same thing, found that the more she thought about it, the more she wanted the kind of closeness with him that having his child would bring. But despite all her reasoning and knowledge of her own anatomy she decided that it would be impossible. She just wished that that were not the case.
Later that night Maya and Lucario, one arm holding her baby and one shared in union with Maya, wandered to the room and found Jack and his other two Pokémon sharing the bed, one in each of his arms. The room smelled of sex, an unmistakable scent that they both recognized for what it was and where it had come from, and how long it would take to get a pungent scent like that to fill a room this big. There was a second bed closer to the door and the bathroom to their immediate right, where the scent of luxurious bath soaps filled the air. Maya was drawn there and smiled at the basket full of exotic soaps and scents and decided that a bath would do them both a world of good. She drew the hot water while Lucario tucked her tired baby into a blanket on the chair in the corner. When Maya beckoned to her quietly with a single finger she was a little confused as to the meaning and so followed her inside, where Maya closed the door and instantly wrapped her arms around the Lucario's shoulders and kissed her, pinning the dog Pokémon against the wall with little else to do but return the kiss.
Lucario had closed her eyes and was only vaguely aware that she was being led away from the wall. When Maya broke the kiss and took her hands she opened her eyes and allowed herself to be tugged into the tub and then lowered into the piping hot but sweet smelling water. Maya was on top of her then, on hands and knees and kissing her, letting her tongue wander into Lucario's mouth and eliciting a moan from the dog Pokémon. Over the past few hours they had each learned what the other liked about kissing each other and Lucario moved her paws up and down Maya's arms while dropping her head down to her neck, licking and gently nipping at the nape which brought coos and excited yips from the Vaporeon's mouth. In response though, Maya pushed up closer to the other Pokémon and pressed her chest against the others'. In addition, she braced herself against the back of the tub with one hand while the other adventurously wandered lower, down Lucario's stomach and between her legs, where her fingers gently danced along the folds of Lucario's sex.
At the nape of her neck Lucario suddenly stopped what she was doing and whined a little. Unsure of how to feel at the touch she could only respond as her body instinctively told her to, and she spread her legs in anticipation of receiving more attention. They returned to their kiss soon after and Lucario brought both hands up to cup Vaporeon's cheeks, holding her there while she dexterously used her tongue to stimulate Maya's water producing glands. A slow trickle of water flowed from Vaporeon's mouth into her own and she gulped it down in an erotic act of passion. When she had drank her fill though Vaporeon, unsatisfied with only using her fingers only licked Lucario's chin and then descended, licking her way down the Pokémon's body underwater to right where her finger had gently been probing inside the heated mound of Lucario's sex.
She had enjoyed the attention up till now, but was unprepared when Maya instead replaced her finger with her mouth and tongue, using those wonderful parts of her to stimulate her pussy beyond what she had experienced thus far. She never thought she could feel this way with another woman but was proven wrong. Both hands gripped the tub as she braced herself against the onslaught of Vaporeon's tongue inside her. Her legs were spread wide and her head arched back against the wall and she let out a breathless whimper as she could feel her belly tighten for its release. Maya continued right up until she could taste the woman's juices flowing from her body and lapped at them even as they filled the water around her face. Before coming up again though she made one last long lick up the Lucario's sex and then clamped her mouth down around it, forcing water to shoot from her mouth deep inside the pussy of her new lover's sex.
If Lucario had been unprepared to feel the tongue of Vaporeon inside her, she was overwhelmed with sensation as she felt herself being filled with water like that. She couldn't even make herself pull away it felt so wonderful and slowly but surely her belly pushed out in an expanding arc below the water as her womb filled with water and stretched outward. It was such an exquisite feeling that even after Maya's mouth left her she held onto the water in her belly for as long as possible and managed to grab the Vaporeon into another deep kiss that had her resting on top of her swollen belly as it deflated and poured the water into the already filled tub.
The water overflowed a little bit, but was quickly directed down the drain in the floor.
"I've never felt anything like that before," gasped the Lucario.
"Now you know how Jack makes me feel. Maybe next time we do this you'll let me share that feeling with you as well."
Lucario looked away for a moment slightly ashamed and slightly confused. "So... you were only trying to get me to accept Jack? Is that all this was?"
Maya was a little stunned by the interpretation and could not respond. Lucario made to leave and stood up, letting the water roll from her fur back into the tub and Maya made one last grasp at her, wrapping her arms around her waist and holding her within the tub.
"That's not it at all. Not at all. We shared something special tonight just between us. It's no one else's and I wouldn't want to share it with anyone else either. I want you to accept Jack the way we all have not because I think you should but because you can. Tonight felt right with you, but it feels right with Jack too. And I want you to feel right all the time. Not just with me. Please don't be angry with me for that."
There was a long pause and Lucario left the cooling water of the tub. "I'm going to bed." She didn't even look back as she toweled off and closed the door behind her.
Maya had a long cry after that, and didn't leave the tub until the water was icy cold. She drained it, toweled off as well and then made for the bedroom. Her eyes were red from crying but she came to the bedroom and saw Jack and the other two still sleeping soundly together and Lucario alone in the other bed. She looked up from her pillow at Maya and then at the blanket.
"You can join me if you want," she said, trying her best to sound stoic and dispassionate.
It brightened Maya's spirits though, and she slipped under the blanket next to Lucario and closed her eyes, the last thing she saw was Lucario's hazel eyes staring right back at her.
The next morning Sasha was the first to wake and slowly untangled herself from Jack's one-armed embrace and the blanket and slipped into standing between the beds. She stretched and casually looked over to the other bed and saw to her amazement Maya and Lucario curled face-to-face in a sleeping embrace. And from the look of the blanket's folds, their legs were tangled in a mess that brought them even closer together.
Sasha rushed over to Laura and shook her awake, holding a finger to her lips to shush the rabbit Pokémon and guided her out of bed to take a look at the other two females. Laura got a wicked grin on her face and crept around to Lucario's side of the bed, motioning for Sasha to take Maya's side. Then they both slunk under the covers right up behind the two sleepers and slipped their hands around them both in a sensual embrace. Lucario was the first to awaken followed closely by Maya and then the rabbit and bird Pokémon joined hands and pulled them all closer together, squishing the two between them and giggling.
"So, you two are an item eh?" laughed Laura. "I didn't know you liked girls like that Maya."
"And for shame Lucario, taking advantage of such a defenseless young girl like Maya here," added Sasha.
Maya looked positively flustered, like a child with her hand in the cookie jar, trying to find some excuse. And that ticked Lucario right off. "You dare accuse me of such a thing?" she said angrily, turning in Lopunny's grip to face her head on. And just like that, Laura was across the room flat on the floor, feinted, a dissipating ball of ki fluttering out of sight from her gut. Then Lucario stood on the bed and turned that angry glance at Sasha, who, despite her shock at seeing how quickly Laura was dispatched cowered behind Maya and whimpers of "It was a joke! No harm meant!"
Then just as Lucario wound up her fist for another devastating attack she disappeared into a filmy red light and went back into her Pokéball.
There was Jack, sitting up on his bed, the bed thrown to the floor and his belt snatched from its place, Lucario's Pokéball in hand. "I think there's some explaining about to happen now." His gaze was locked on his two remaining Pokémon as he sent Laura away as well to get her off the floor.
Maya did her best to explain the previous night, omitting several personal details that Jack allowed her to keep secret out of respect, and Sasha explained the rest of the story after she had woken up. Jack sent them both away after that and had a good long thought about what transpired. Before he could do anything about it though, he was famished and so put on some clothes and went to breakfast. The others would just have to wait for him to finish before they could do anything.
After seeing the on board Pokémon Centre, really just a healing station with a single operator, he went back to the room and called out Laura, who stood before him thinking seductive thoughts and waggling her body in front of him. To her he had called her out to have her all to himself for a while. But that was not the case and after a good look at his stern expression she stopped her parading and stood very still in front of him.
"I want you to know that you got what you deserved this morning."
"She threw me across the room! How is that deserved?" argued Laura.
"You know damn well why!" he yelled. It was the first time in a long time he had ever raised his voice, and it shook her to the core, frightened her even. He was standing right in front of her. "Why would you do that to Lucario and Maya? In the same position I can't say I'd do anything differently." His voice was returning to normal, but his tone was still vehemently angry. She lowered her gaze and took and ear in one paw, gently stroking it for some measure of comfort. When he couldn't be angry anymore, and stopped scrutinizing her with his eyes his countenance softened and he hugged her, squeezing her tightly to his chest. "I can't believe you did something so coldhearted. Do you understand anyone else's feelings but your own?" His words were pointed and they hurt but she knew why he said them.
They stood like that for a while and Jack gently began swaying back and forth. Lopunny suddenly burst into tears when the words had finally sunken home and she looked up him, "Please stop being mad at me Jack. Please don't stop talking to me, Jack. Please... I can take any punishment that I need, but please don't be mad anymore... I can't bear that." She wept into his shirt, her hands gripping scruffs of his shirt at his shoulders and she buried her face in his chest. He continued to pat her head and stroke down her back.
He cooed softly to her, "I'm not mad at you Laura, but I am upset. And you're going to apologize to both of them later, clear?" He backed away from her and looked her up and down. She seemed fragile, almost broken, defeated. He found he couldn't stay angry at her and so before he sent her away he let her catch a glimpse of his smile.
Next he called out Sasha, who was just as much to blame as Laura was. She received almost the same treatment and had almost the same reaction, as he expected. To her credit she asked if she could apologize before he told her to do so and so before he sent her away he gave her a smile as well.
Then came Lucario, who appeared still enraged when she formed on the floor in front of Jack.
"Where is she? Give me that chicken coward." Riolu barked and whined in as solemn a way as it could from the chair in the corner and she partially deflated. Her stance was still threatening though, but Jack faced her without fear.
Ì know what happened this morning and I want to know that I`m not going hold it against you.`
"Don`t give me your speeches human. Let me pummel that worthless bird just like the good-for-nothing rabbit."
"They have both already been spoken to and dealt with. Now it's your turn. You're going to calm down now, or I will keep you in your ball until you do." When she made no discernable move to retract her viciousness he raised his voice again, "Now, Lucario!" and she stood at attention unthreatening but remorseless and unafraid. "Laura's actions were unwarranted and unfair to both you and Maya and I understand that. I also understand that you were defending Maya and know what that must feel like, to feel so strongly for someone to leap to their defense like that. I want you to know that I would have done exactly the same thing in your position. The difference is that I wasn't in your position. I'm in mine. And feelings aside, you overreacted, and injured one of my Pokémon, one of 'your' teammates, and whether you like it or not, your teammate is here to stay." He took a step forward and in a slightly defensive posture she took a step back. As a Lucario she could feel his aura, and right now it told her that not only was he serious about what he said, but that he was also unafraid and was willing to follow through with keeping her isolated if need be.
"There is one thing going to happen now. I'm going to call out Sasha and Laura, and they're going to apologize. And you're not going to threaten them at all. Do you understand?" The mention of seeing the two of them again set her on her nerves again but then Jack's voice rang true and clear a second time. "Am I absolutely clear?" his tone was forceful and overwhelming and she responded with a nod that left her gaze on the floor, cowed and defeated.
Laura and Sasha appeared on the floor in front of Lucario a moment later and despite her clenched fists, Lucario made no move against them. They all looked at each other for a long while, studying each other. Then Jack pushed the two of them forward and they stumbled closer to the dog Pokémon. They both bowed and tearfully apologized and asked for forgiveness. It was slow, and she let the two Pokémon bow for a long while before she replied, but when she did it was an affirmation of forgiveness. She couldn't tell why, but when she looked at Jack and saw him smile at her so genuinely, she felt relieved, glad even, that she had not incurred his wrath. For if his aura of forcefulness was any indication, his wrath was not something she would want to see any time soon.
The kind of tantric sex the three of them had for several hours after they got to their room defied their own description but left each of them exhausted and only one completely spent. Laura lay face down, rump up, on the bed with a bemused expression on her scuffed face. She looked like someone who had been thoroughly ravished and felt that way too.

Meanwhile, Jack and Sasha had moved to the shower and were deep in the throes of passion while the overhead rain nozzle of the shower draped them both in a thin film of glassy hot water. Sasha pressed her upper body against the glass and in the heat of the moment had her tongue lolling from her mouth.

Jack sent them both away after that and had a good long thought about what transpired. Before he could do anything about it though, he was famished and so put on some clothes and went to breakfast. The others would just have to wait for him to finish before they could do anything.
After seeing the on board Pokémon Centre, really just a healing station with a single operator, he went back to the room and called out Laura, who stood before him thinking seductive thoughts and waggling her body in front of him. To her he had called her out to have her all to himself for a while. But that was not the case and after a good look at his stern expression she stopped her parading and stood very still in front of him.
"I want you to know that you got what you deserved this morning."
"She threw me across the room! How is that deserved?" argued Laura.
"You know damn well why!" he yelled. It was the first time in a long time he had ever raised his voice, and it shook her to the core, frightened her even. He was standing right in front of her. "Why would you do that to Lucario and Maya? In the same position I can't say I'd do anything differently." His voice was returning to normal, but his tone was still vehemently angry. She lowered her gaze and took and ear in one paw, gently stroking it for some measure of comfort. When he couldn't be angry anymore, and stopped scrutinizing her with his eyes his countenance softened and he hugged her, squeezing her tightly to his chest. "I can't believe you did something so coldhearted. Do you understand anyone else's feelings but your own?" His words were pointed and they hurt but she knew why he said them.
They stood like that for a while and Jack gently began swaying back and forth. Lopunny suddenly burst into tears when the words had finally sunken home and she looked up him, "Please stop being mad at me Jack. Please don't stop talking to me, Jack. Please... I can take any punishment that I need, but please don't be mad anymore... I can't bear that." She wept into his shirt, her hands gripping scruffs of his shirt at his shoulders and she buried her face in his chest. He continued to pat her head and stroke down her back.
He cooed softly to her, "I'm not mad at you Laura, but I am upset. And you're going to apologize to both of them later, clear?" He backed away from her and looked her up and down. She seemed fragile, almost broken, defeated. He found he couldn't stay angry at her and so before he sent her away he let her catch a glimpse of his smile.
Next he called out Sasha, who was just as much to blame as Laura was. She received almost the same treatment and had almost the same reaction, as he expected. To her credit she asked if she could apologize before he told her to do so and so before he sent her away he gave her a smile as well.
Then came Lucario, who appeared still enraged when she formed on the floor in front of Jack.
"Where is she? Give me that chicken coward." Riolu barked and whined in as solemn a way as it could from the chair in the corner and she partially deflated. Her stance was still threatening though, but Jack faced her without fear.
Ì know what happened this morning and I want to know that I`m not going hold it against you.`
"Don`t give me your speeches human. Let me pummel that worthless bird just like the good-for-nothing rabbit."
"They have both already been spoken to and dealt with. Now it's your turn. You're going to calm down now, or I will keep you in your ball until you do." When she made no discernable move to retract her viciousness he raised his voice again, "Now, Lucario!" and she stood at attention unthreatening but remorseless and unafraid. "Laura's actions were unwarranted and unfair to both you and Maya and I understand that. I also understand that you were defending Maya and know what that must feel like, to feel so strongly for someone to leap to their defense like that. I want you to know that I would have done exactly the same thing in your position. The difference is that I wasn't in your position. I'm in mine. And feelings aside, you overreacted, and injured one of my Pokémon, one of 'your' teammates, and whether you like it or not, your teammate is here to stay." He took a step forward and in a slightly defensive posture she took a step back. As a Lucario she could feel his aura, and right now it told her that not only was he serious about what he said, but that he was also unafraid and was willing to follow through with keeping her isolated if need be.
"There is one thing going to happen now. I'm going to call out Sasha and Laura, and they're going to apologize. And you're not going to threaten them at all. Do you understand?" The mention of seeing the two of them again set her on her nerves again but then Jack's voice rang true and clear a second time. "Am I absolutely clear?" his tone was forceful and overwhelming and she responded with a nod that left her gaze on the floor, cowed and defeated.
Laura and Sasha appeared on the floor in front of Lucario a moment later and despite her clenched fists, Lucario made no move against them. They all looked at each other for a long while, studying each other. Then Jack pushed the two of them forward and they stumbled closer to the dog Pokémon. They both bowed and tearfully apologized and asked for forgiveness. It was slow, and she let the two Pokémon bow for a long while before she replied, but when she did it was an affirmation of forgiveness. She couldn't tell why, but when she looked at Jack and saw him smile at her so genuinely, she felt relieved, glad even, that she had not incurred his wrath. For if his aura of forcefulness was any indication, his wrath was not something she would want to see any time soon.
