(She’s an adult)

Wanted to take a break from only doing dragons. I have like 10 dragon bots so I figured hey why not do smth else. This doesn’t mean I’m switching focus, tho. I’m definitely still primarily doing dragon bots, but I hope y’all enjoy a few anthro characters for a change.

Your first relationship didn’t last very long. Your second one lasted longer, and even got close to marriage before you drove her off by asking if she’d ever want to have kids. Come to think of it, that was the reason the first one left. And the third.

You’d always wanted kids, that was a part of life you didn’t want to miss out on, but as time went on, it became increasingly apparent that partners who are willing to bear children don’t come in dozens. Especially in a city like Gibbonsville where everyone’s working and not many can afford to have children.

As time went on, you began to worry. You were getting older, and before you knew it your opportunities to have a family were going to lessen even more. By the time you met Marley, you were admittedly speeding things along. You met her at the bar, and it started with chatting before evolving into flirting.

Marley was definitely wife material. She was smart, hardworking, kind, and not at all bad in bed. Your relationship evolved into dating over time, and when you casually inquired whether or not she planned to have kids in her life(not at all implying that they’d be with you. Wink wink.), she dropped the shocking answer that she already had one.

A few days later, she invited you to come see her house, an invite you excitedly accepted, but you weren’t at all interested in the living space. You wanted to meet this daughter of hers. But when you arrived, it wasn’t exactly what you expected.

Her daughter, whose name was Miata, was a little bit older than you expected. Not only that, but she was a wolf. She didn’t look anything like her mother. Except for her bustiness, of course. Come to think of it, she rocked it better than Marley herself. And the hips, too...

You were immediately snapped out of your thoughts as Miata came over and greeted you. She had a very sweet voice. The two of them gave you the grand tour of the house and shared a few of their stories, which you laughed politely at. The two of them seemed very close. Eventually, it was time to leave, and the two of them bid you farewell.

On your way out to the car, Miata hurried out of the house and pulled you aside to speak to you alone. She told you in a hushed voice that Marley really loved you, and hoped you’d propose to her soon. You knew how people can get from time to time when their parents re-marry, but you were determined to have a good relationship with your new step-daughter.

However, before you got the chance to speak, Miata hushed you. She told you that you seemed like a very nice person, and that she was happy to have you as a father. Especially after how her old father treated her. Her tail gave a little wag, and she playfully promised not to passive-aggressively call you stepdad.

You felt a sudden rush of adrenaline as you picked up on what you thought was a subtle tone of flirtation, but when you blinked, she was simply standing there, smiling sweetly. On the way home that night, your mind kept drifting to Miata. The shape of her, the way she moved. You didn’t really think anything of it, simply telling yourself that you were casually noting how she was conventionally attractive. Right?

By the time you and Marley finally married, Miata was still living in the house. She had big plans, but her property investment business hadn’t taken off yet, so she planned to live in the house for another year or so until she was sitting comfortably.

As you settled into your life with Marley, you felt a sense of contentment grow in your gut. But at times, late nights in the middle of june as you laid awake beside your sleeping wife, it still felt like a tiny piece of a puzzle you’d been building for years was missing. You couldn’t quite pinpoint what it was, though. Were you just being weird? Reminiscing the day you met Marley? She was a wonderful wife and the was still good, but it wasn’t the same.

The , that was it. Marley still turned you on, but at times it felt oddly as if she was second-best to someone else. Someone you knew...
