Centaur Love Ch. 11

Mathew placed his hand on hers, seeing her look akin to disappointment or shame. "No love, I wouldn't want that." Swallowing his internal embarrassment and humanity of making love to another in front of her, "If you are ok with it, then I will just have to learn to centaur up and accept it. But I might need a little help to conquer my fears."

"You will do fine, Love. You have a new mate's body to explor...," The front door opened and Rebecca walked in carrying several bottles of something. She looked over to find Felicia kneeling next to Mathew, who was sitting in a chair. She looked so submissive kneeling next to him like that. Felicia had told her how they sometimes play like that. Just the thought of it made her backside tingle.

Rebecca quickly nodded to Mathew, "Am I interrupting something Herd Master?"

Felicia squeezed Mathew's hand and nodded to him, ever so slightly, towards Rebecca. Mathew stood and pulled Felicia to her feet. "Not at all, Rebecca Lynn," Mathew lied. "First off it is Mathew, that Herd Master stuff is for those that think titles mean something. If you need a title to feel important, you have a problem. I am happy just being Mathew."

"Love, Mate, also," Felicia said.

Mathew saw Rebecca smile.

"Second," He said. "Welcome to our temporary home." Taking a deep breath and letting it out slowly. "We are herd, and mates now. When it comes to herd, neither one of you is an interruption."

Mathew smiled at her, "Come in and shut the door," Nodding at the glass bottles in her hand "Can I help you with those?"

Rebecca blushed and tried to hide them, "No herd Mas..., Mathew, I got...,"

Felicia laughed, "Rebecca, Mathew knows what birth bane is. Come on over here and I will show how I store mine. Oh drat, we don't have another padded travel case."

"Take the four jars of Dragon Claw out of it's padded case," Mathew said. "We are delivering all five of them tomorrow to Dustin's apothecary, when we set up on his front porch to test Midvale's colts."

"What time tomorrow?" Felicia asked as she set the four large bottles on the counter far from the edge to keep them safe.

"I don't know, I was going to ask you what you thought was the best time."

"Since it would be a two-day thing, I would say nine to noon. What do you think Becca?"

Rebecca smiled, "Morning would be best, then they would have the rest of the day to finish their chores. But I would suggest you send a town crier out today so those wishing to come can arrange their schedule accordingly."

Mathew nodded yes, then closed his eyes calling out Zane Goldenroot's name. It only took a minute to confirm he was still with Clan Master Benton's and set up to have a town crier to spread the word of tomorrow's event. Just as he finished with talking with Zane, a house crier ran through announcing lunch. Felicia rushed to make Mathew a bacon sandwich, saying, "Sorry we didn't know what time you was going to get back."

With his sandwich wrapped in a clean cloth, he accompanied the girls to the main house. Mathew took a small bowl of the pasta salad to go with his sandwich while the girls filled their bowl up and grabbed a second bowl of five-grain. Sitting at the kiddie table, they started eating. Mathew kept sneaking looks at Rebecca. She had the deepest blue eyes he had ever seen. Whereas Felicia had green eyes with little flecks of yellow, Rebecca had nearly pure blue eyes. Her long raven hair matched her tail and length. Felicia liked her hair braided, Rebecca likes hers loose and free.

Rebecca caught him looking into her eyes, and she locked down, blushing. Mathew looked at Felicia and grinned. She smiled at him and nodded yes, while motioning for him to talk to her. "So tell me Rebecca, what was it like growing up in Herd Anderson's house?"

Rebecca smiled, "I guess the same as growing up in herd Fellis's house."

"That may be," Mathew said. "But I didn't grow up in his house. I grew up in a human household. Where things were a little different."

"Oh!" she exclaimed, "Sorry, I forgot. I guess you can say it is a little different that herd Fellis. Cousin Barret sort of insisted that all members have their own little place, so his compound had dozens of little longhouses, and one huge one for meals and gathering times. It is warm and cozy. Most of Herd Anderson was loving and supportive. I had lots of friends to play with growing up. Something that cousin Barret insisted on. If some of the families or colts had problems with a HGDM colt in the herd and they shunned me, or mom and dad. Cousin Barret sort of pushed those families out to the wineries or oat and barley farms."

"The compound is off eighth street, just before the river's bend so cousin Berret has lots of property that you can run through, with dozens of small open glades to play in. Cousin Barret followed your father-in-law's advice, and against the herd council's wishes allowed me outside during the day, as long as no one could see me from the road. So I wasn't a total shut in like some."

Mathew looked up from his sandwich. He caught her staring into his eyes. He smiled at her. She blushed, "I have never seen yellow eyes before, everyone says, were eyes, does that mean you can turn into a werewolf too?"

Mathew nodded yes, "Having a little were mixed, allows pure humans to touch and manipulate klatha. As to turning into a werewolf, or were-beast. It all depends on how much were blood the person has. Both of my parents have some, so I guess I could unleash that part of me. But as student mages they taught us to suppress our were side since it messes with the mage's mind. After turning into your were-beast, then back, a lot of mages find they no longer have the focus to control their magic anymore."

"So what was it like growing up in a mage family?"

Mathew finished chewing a bite of his sandwich, "Different. And yet pretty much normal, I guess to many human family's. My mother and father didn't use a lot of magic around the house. Baring some things like activating the charms to go up to the grove and stuff. We did normal things by hand, like chopping wood, weeding the grove with shovels and rakes."

"What about inside the house? Don't you have magical stoves and lights?"

Felicia laughed, "No Becca, they have a regular stove and oil lanterns, but you will love them because they are human height, making them perfect height for those with HGDM."

"I guess I had these visions of a magical house and stuff, I didn't know what to expect."

Mathew grinned, "Would you like to see it? Sort of knowing what you're getting into?"

Rebecca looked at him, "You have drawings of your house?"

Mathew held his laugh, "No, I was thinking of running home to get the family trainer box and a couple of magic books so you could start learning how to control klatha."

"I don't think we have time," Rebecca said. "I told mother I would be home around four to help with dinner."

"It will only take a couple of hours, we will be back in time for you trot home and help with dinner."

Rebecca looked at Mathew, then Felicia, "I don't understand, I thought Oak Valley was like two days' trot east of Midvale."

Mathew picked up the empty bowls and stacked them, then quickly picked them up, then said, "It is, but we have an Alternate means of transportation available to us," then walked the bowls to the sink. When he got back, he took Felicia's and Rebecca's hands and led them outside. With a quick stop to get his bag of chalk, he led them out back behind the tiny bunkhouse. He drew a chalk circle and led the girls into it. After asking what Felicia and Rebecca were carrying, he pulled out his crystal ball and homed in on the farm.

Felicia folded Rebecca's arm in hers and smiled as she reached out to hold Mathews with her free arm. "Hold onto Mathews shoulder Becca, and whatever you do, don't let go."

Rebecca grasped his shoulder as Mathew chanted the spell.

The afternoon sun was her first clue she wasn't in Midvale. The small farmhouse and barn were strange looking since the doors were tiny. Behind the house, there was a small ridge, and a great dark Oak forest stood overlooking them. The other way was a small ridge stepping down to a long grove of some fruit trees, and below it, a wide-open pasture of alfalfa.

Mathew took her hand off his shoulder and kissed it, then walked to the house. At the door he said something to it and disappeared. This frightened Rebecca, did she have to talk to the door every time to go inside? Just then the door opened and Mathew stuck his head out. Felicia grabbed her hand, "Come on Becca, let me show you your new home."

Just inside there was a door to the left with three enormous iron bars leaning against it. A little more ways in which she saw a room with a long flat thing on legs, a human bed, she reasoned. To her right was a room with several human type chairs and in the corner she saw a small standing table with a lamp on it and an open space for someone to stand next to, Felicia's reading table?

Felicia pulled her deeper along the hallway where on her left she saw a room with a sleeping stall and a narrower human bed. To her right was a closed doorway. Felicia pointed at it, "That is the bathroom and indoor centaur trench."

Rebecca stopped dead in her tracks, "You pee and poop indoors?" Rebecca imagined a dirt floor room full of...,

Felicia laughed, and opened the door. Inside was a tiled like room with a funny-looking seat thing in one corner and metal thing attached to the roof. Along the back wall was a small tiled trench. She didn't understand, and the room didn't smell like she thought it would. "I don't understand Felicia, how do you?"

Felicia laughed, wait and I will show you. She went into the kitchen where a short stove was to the left. It was the right size for her to cook on. On the right was a standing table and one of those human sized ones with a bench. Behind it was a large pantry filled with five-grain jars and other stuff. She expected it was some human food. Felicia knelt at a cabinet. She reached in and pulled a lever.

"We shut the water off because we were gone."

Then she walked back to this strange room and showed her the little trench now had water running through it. "You go here and the water washes the dung down the trench to the septic tank thingy."

"What is that?"

"Mathew says it is a huge stone pit that collects the dung, but allows the water to flow through and waters the pecan grove and alfalfa field below."

Rebecca pointed at the metal thing on the roof, "What's that?"

"That is the shower, I didn't turn the water on to the cistern, so I can't show you how it works, but if you pull this handle water flows out of it and you can wash yourself. Mathew says during the winter they keep a fire burning in fireplace and it heats the water so you can have hot showers all winter long. During the summer the sun warms it, or we go down to our pond."

"Your pond?"

"Yes, we have a private bathing pool, Mathew and his Mother made it out of a little ankle pond. One side is perfect depth for centaurs with HGDM, and a split walkway separates the deeper part where Mathew can dive in and swim."

Mathew poked his head in the bathroom holding his Grandmother's sapphire, "Rebecca, would you like to go see the oak grove and see what we farm here?"

Rebecca nodded yes, and Mathew backed out of the bathroom. Once outside Felicia pulled Rebecca up next to Mathew as they walked over to a set of steps. Just before them, he turned to Rebecca and pulled out his sapphire. Felicia reached inside her blouse and pulled out hers.

"Rebecca as with Felicia, each mage here wears a charm that hides them from the ley lines, not disturbing the power flows." Mathew held out a large pillow cut sapphire held by a silver heart frame. "I would like you to have this. This sapphire belonged to my grandmother."

Rebecca drew in a noisy breath, "It is beautiful! No one has ever given me such an expensive gift."

Mathew reached over and put it around her neck. Then he grinned at Felicia with a wink. Turning back to Rebecca he said, "It comes with a price, and a reason."

Rebecca blushed as she put her hand to the top button of her blouse. Mathew laughed and put his hand over hers. "That isn't the price, but we will go there when your father gives me your hand, later tonight." Rebecca blushed harder and smiled. He saw her rump sashay a little and her tail swish in the opposite direction. He wanted to laugh, but kept a serious face. "The price for this gift, is some days of studying how to throw the charm spell. And Felicia can tell you, it takes several days just to learn just how to call your klatha, then a few more, learning the spells."

"Now, as for the reason, this grove is magical. It has a spell laid over the grove to trick the dragon claw into believing that we are part of the grove. This sapphire has a spell in it, which, once activated. Masks us from disturbing the Dragon Claw plants."

Mathew cupped her charm and softly said the spell to activate it. Mathew dropped in between the valley of her breasts and then reached up higher and touched Rebecca's cheek. "Tonight, my newest mare, we will explore the other part. Something to look forward too." Mathew didn't think Rebecca could blush any harder, but she did. He could feel her body and rump twitch in anticipation.

Mathew activated his charm, then reached over and took Rebecca's hand and Felicia's in his other and started up the stairs. He felt Felicia touch his mind. < If you keep up the sweet talk, you both won't make it until tonight. >

Mathew sent Felicia all the love he felt for her through the link. He felt her hand twitch in his as they stepped on to the grove. < You keep doing that. You're going to have service both of us before tonight. >

Mathew felt himself get hard. He clenched his hard on and sent that through the link to Felicia.

Felicia couldn't help herself and audibly groaned. She let go of Mathew's hand, "Stop that Mathew." Then reached over and grabbed Becca's hand, and pulled her into a gallop down a row.

Mathew laughed as the girls took off and walked over to the 'lean to' over the silver hooped wagon. Checking the silver hoops on the wheels and the spell on them. He was going to need to grease the axles, when he got back home but it was fine under its lean to. He walked along the row. The girls galloped down and saw their tracks, the ground was dry and their hooves barely dug into the soft ground. He saw a milkweed growing and reached in to pull it.

Mathew was sweating when he heard, "Mathew, stop that. You are wearing your good clothes."

Mathew looked up, Felicia and Rebecca stood looking at him. He was on his knees pulling weeds. Looking back, he had weeded and cleaned half a row without realizing it. He was covered in bits of mud and weeds. He smiled in embarrassment. Felicia pulled him up and pushed him back towards the stairs. He looked over and both girls' flanks were sweat stained from their run. Once down the stairs Felicia trotted ahead towards the house. Mathew looked over at Rebecca. Mathew felt Felicia's mind touch his. < Keep wooing her, love >

"Did you enjoy your gallop?"

"Yes!" She said excitedly, "It is nice not having to make sure you're hidden while galloping through the trees. All this open area to run and play, I am so excited to live here and with the bonus of a stallion...," Rebecca Blushed and tried to hide her face.

Mathew laughed and took her hand, turning her to look at him. "You don't have to be shy and stuff around me. I am not like other stallions. I am just me, just a plain ole herb farmer."

"But you are also a mage."

Mathew grinned, "So are you Rebecca, so that cancels out that part."

"Not really, I don't know any spells yet and...,"

"Are you sure?" Mathew said in mock surprise, "Because I am sure you cast a love spell at me."

Rebecca smiled, then blushed hard, realizing what he said, looking down, trying to hide her face.

Mathew reached up with his other hand and lifted her chin, staring into her blue eyes, "Yup, it had to be a love spell, one that I can't seem to resist." He stepped in and kissed her. Rebecca moaned as their lips touched. He could tell she wanted a full embrace kiss, so he slid his hands around her back for a light embrace.

Rebecca's hands went around him and pulled him in tight with need. She was rubbing her chest against his for added stimulation. He could feel her hind legs dance with need. Rebecca moaned into his mouth as he rubbed her back. Her lips tasted sweet. They were slightly firmer than Felicia's. He pulled back and looked into her eyes, he could see her need in them. He smiled at her, She stuttered, "I have never...,"

"Shhh," Mathew said. "I know, but we have a lifetime to learn about each other."

Rebecca blushed and looked down. Mathew followed her gaze. He could see the sapphire nestled in between her breasts, he so wanted to go down and kiss them. He didn't know if she was ready for him like that. He heard the front door and felt Rebecca try to pull herself from him. "No love," he said. "Felicia is herd and our mate. There is no shame in her seeing us sharing an embrace or love. She shares our love as we will share in her love."

"This is all so new to me," Rebecca said. "I never thought I would experience it."

"Loving a centaur isn't new to me," Mathew said. "But having two mates is, so you and Felicia will have to coach me through my human hang-ups of having two mates. But in time I am sure we three will figure it out."

Felicia walked up and embraced them. Mathew opened his arm to include her. As they shared a hug he said, "My Herd, my loves." When he pulled back, he saw Felicia had a clean set of his clothes, a few bath towels and their spare wash bag. "The pond?" he asked.

"Yes," Felicia said. "You are dirty and Becca and I are sweaty from our gallop. And you Mr. need to be clean. And dressed nicely when you meet Becca's parents."

Mathew laughed and took both of their hands and walked towards the pond. Once there, Mathew gave the girls' hands a quick squeeze and released them as he sat down to take off his boots. As he undressed, he snuck a few peeks at Felicia and Rebecca removing their blouses and wraps. Rebecca was bigger in the chest than Felicia. Whereas Felicia was something along the lines of thirty-six 'D', twenty-four, forty-five. Rebecca had to be a small thirty-six double 'D'. Twenty-four, forty-two. She was just as big as Cherill. And those felt..., wonderful.

Mathew folded his clothes and walked up the walkway. He felt both girls looking at him as he delicately stepped on the stones until he was on the walkway and walked on the smoother stepping-stones. He jumped into the deep end. The water was perfect. The pond was just warming up enough to take the cool bite out of the cold water, yet cool enough to relieve you from a hot day. He swam a little, before diving under several times enjoying the cooler water than the center fork river.

He then slipped through the walkway breaks to the shallow end with the girls. Felicia took his hands and stood in front as he felt Rebecca walk up behind him. She reached up and started washing his hair. This made Mathew hard again. Felicia smiled and reached down to touch him. She softly stroked his hard on as Rebecca washed his hair and moved in closer to wash his body. She rubbed her massive breasts along his back as she washed him. He groaned with pleasure.

"Girl's please, I wanted to wait until tonight...,"

Felicia shook her head no, then knelt, giving his stiff cock a quick lick or two. "No love," She said, between licks, "now! Neither one of us could stand a ceremony with us leaking like we are."

Mathew groaned again as Felicia deep throated him and Rebecca held him tight, whispering into his ear. "Please Herd Master, mate, I have been waiting nineteen years for this, without relief. I uh..., I need..., this."
