"It's okay, Cerberus," he said, then looked at Lily. "Thanks for the reminder. Cerberus, take us to the other house."The scowl on Cerberus' faces disappeared, and they all nodded eagerly before becoming the beast once more. Mike climbed onto their back and pulled Lily up behind him once she changed her clothes into a red tank top and jeans. Once settled, he grabbed a handful of fur and held on tight while Cerberus broke into a loping trot.The ride was different every time. The other day, it had only been five minutes long, but it usually averaged half an hour. Lily was leaning back with her hands behind her, and her tail was curled lovingly around his thigh."So what have you been up to during the day?" he asked. "I heard Quetzalli mention you at breakfast."She laughed, a sound that echoed back to him from the trees. "The zombie and the dragon have become quite the odd couple, if I say so myself. Caught them experimenting in Dana's bedroom last night. It was quite a sight.""Experi

When Mike sighed, Lily scooted close to him and wrapped her arms around his chest. Her hands hovered just over his pecs, and she squeezed him through his shirt."Penny for your thoughts, Romeo.""Just feel stretched thin is all. Once Cecilia is back, I'm hoping things settle down for a bit before the next crisis hits. Wouldn't mind a small vacation or something."Her grip loosened. "What, you mean away from the house?"He chuckled. "Well, we both know I can't really leave the house. Not in a traditional sense, anyway. Don't feel like being hunted down by whoever is mad at me that week.""I could give you more time in the Dreamscape," she purred, then pulled herself against him. He could feel her breasts squished against his shoulder blades. "You just have to ask."He smiled and put his hands over hers. "That sounds wonderful, but I mean out here, in the real world. Maybe somewhere that isn't a beach, someplace I could go with some of the others. Tink has been working herself to death,

"Oh, I doubt things will ever settle down. Not in that house." Zel picked up something that looked like a pear with thorns and used her fingernail to break the skin and start peeling it. "I would like to schedule something with you. A day, once a month, where you and I can meet and just catch up. Our relationship is important to me, and if we don't make time for it, we'll realize that far too many months have passed. That wouldn't make me happy at all."He was about to argue that they didn't need such an arrangement, but she was absolutely right. Without any accountability, it would be hard to keep track of when they had seen each other last."I think that's a great idea," he told her."Good. We don't have to pick a time today, but let's do it soon." She finished peeling the skin off the fruit and took a bite of it. The flesh of the pear was white, but the juices ran red, and she caught them with her free hand just under her chin. "I loved these growing up. Never eat more than a coupl

When the next group of dancers finished, three more walked into the center of the ring, and Kisa joined them. The centaurs went silent as Kisa appraised them with a raised eyebrow, then stomped her feet along with the beat to let them know she was serious."She could get hurt," someone protested from the side."You worry about your own damned self," she shouted in the direction of the voice. "I'm here to run with the wind."Another moment of silence came, but was penetrated by a cheer, and the centaurs all stamped their feet together. The other three spread out, giving Kisa plenty of room, and though she stood nearly six feet shorter than they did, she intended to use the space.The dance progressed slower than the others, but she didn't care. She let the rhythm claim her, and stuck her arms out like the other dancers, twisting her hips from side to side. She could feel her tail whipping around behind her, and as the dance sped up, she lifted one leg and took an Arabesque stance. With

Kisa nearly tripped over herself when the music came to a stop, then almost panicked when she saw the sudden looks of intensity on the faces of the centaurs. Thinking something bad had happened, she scrambled onto a nearby table and saw that a centaur woman was now speaking. She was adorned in a collection of feathers and beads, and the pouches slung across her hips made Kisa think that she was the shaman that had been mentioned by others throughout the night."We have gathered here on this momentous occasion to celebrate the ascension of the new chief," she began. A small group of centaurs now gathered at the base of the hill, their eyes turned outward toward the others. "Assembled before me is the leadership of the tribe. If there are any who would lay claim to the title of chieftain among them, speak now, that you may be heard."One by one, each of the centaurs pivoted in a circle to face the shaman. None of them said a word, and the shaman nodded."Tonight's ascension is a special
