Lea was attractive and cute and sweet, so the prospect of being forced to spend several nights at her house and somehow stay out of trouble by being a perfect gentleman was really not appealing. I would have been far happier without the temptation, but I didn’t really see any way to get out of her offer.
And then Selina walked up.
She was dressed now in the same bustier and white peasant blouse that so many of the women in the village wore, and she almost bounced over to Lea, squeaking a “Hello!” before giving her a great big hug.
“I see you’ve met Mister Tall-Dark-and-Handsome,” she said, nodding at me.
“Oh, yeah, I kinda like him,” replied Lea. “Is he’s a friend of yours?”
“Sure is,” said Selina, her eyes darkening as she looked at me. “We go way back, don’t we?”
I coughed.
“He’s going to be staying with me for a few weeks while he’s here,” lied Selina.
“Oh, that’s too bad,” said Lea. “Are you two — a couple?”
Selina laughed. “Not anymore. We didn’t really work out, but we’re still friends. But I’ll tell you, he’s a great mount. You should definitely have him ride you while he’s here. You let that big chunky shaft of his up inside your vag, and you’re gonna need a new set of legs by the time he’s done.”
I choked and nearly gagged on my own spit. What was she doing!?
Lea’s eyes grew wide. “Really?” she said slowly. “He’s — that good?”
“No, not — not really — !” I protested.
“Bah, don’t be so modest,” said Selina. “You remember that time you fucked me for three hours straight and I passed out, and you ran and got the smelling salts and then went right back up there for another two hours? Absolutely amazing,”
Lea’s eyes got bigger. “Wow — you really — did that?”
“Trust me, cuz, if you’re overdue for a good ride, you couldn’t do better.”
I grabbed Selina’s arm, and tugged at her. “Hey, can we talk for a second?”
She grinned, and followed me around a corner, leaving Lea standing to contemplate everything she’d just heard.
“What in the fucking hell are you *doing*!?” I said, trying hard to keep my voice down.
“You wanted our secret, you got our secret,” said Selina. “And now I’m going to make sure you pay for it. Face it: This was always about sex. You wanted my tail before you knew I had one. And since this is all about sex, I’m going to make sure you get plenty of it. Maybe if you’re well-behaved, you’ll even get some of it from me.”
“But — but — ”
“My cousin back there is as sweet as she seems. Kind of dumb, but pretty and sweet. And now you’re on the hook for giving her the ride of her life.”
“But — ” I ran out of words, my jaw simply hanging.
“Oh, and that part where I said you couldn’t ever be changed back? I might be lying about that,” said Selina brightly. “Or maybe I’m not. But you’re in my world now, so you’re going to play by my rules.”
I simply stared at her in horror.
She booped my nose with her finger. “Lea had better tell me tomorrow that she got the best ride of her life. You play along, and maybe, just maybe, you’ll get some of the things you *actually* want.”
She grinned, and then passed beside me. “Toodles,” she said. She glanced back over her shoulder at me. “Don’t disappoint me now, will you?”
She slipped into the group of centaurs in the market, greeting everyone she passed, and then her tail disappeared around a corner.
I took a deep breath, and prepared to walk back to Lea.
