Argus, Mistral
7:35 PM, Monday
Argus was just a few days off from Christmas, the streets buffeted by a light yet consistent wind chill, the trees had lost all of their leaves months ago as Winter blew in, the change of season was as obvious as could be without a calendar in hand. Despite this, the streets of Argus were still fairly teeming, shoppers dashing about, buying groceries, seeking presents or otherwise making last second additions to their holiday plans.
This brings us to the Cotta-Arc household. The cosy Argus apartment was filled in the mouth-watering scent of spiced meat, plumes of steam spilling from the open kitchen, liquids bubbling in pots, vegetables being chopped on the board, bustling with life, all thanks the one woman army of a chef cooking up a storm as if it were life and death. In the living room, several presents of different different, shapes, sizes and tastes were strewn about waiting for there turn to be wrapped up and left to await their recipient, for this purpose were many materials spread all over the living room, several rolls of cellophane tape, a few pairs of scissors and wrapping paper. So. Much. Wrapping paper. In the midst of this mess sat the woman responsible for this endeavour, moving like a well oiled machine, she wraps up present after present like clockwork, perfectly ensconcing the many gifts in perfectly applied paper prisons, before placing them beneath the large, totally-not-fake conifer tree. The woman was just about to wrap up a plush bear when-
KNOCK-KNOCK-KNOCK-KNOCK!
“Hey Terra! Can you get that for me?” Saphron Cotta-Arc called out to the living room from the kitchen, her famous beef stew required her full attention.
“Sure thing, hon!”
Terra Cotta-Arc was the type of woman that rocked the “sexy intelligent” look, while being incredibly sexy and intelligent. With her smooth light brown skin, silky short, black hair, her charming, deep brown eyes, covered by smart and stylish red, horn-rimmed glasses. Her facial features were a bit sharper than her wife's rounder features without looking severely angular. Terra stood up from the couch and straightened out her ribbed, cream sweater, patting down her dark brown trousers and slipped on her light green slippers.
But as plain as her comfy choice of dress was, it could never even hope to hide how absolutely stunning her body was.
Terra was hot as all hell, her wide, jutting hips bearing her plump, full ass that strained against most pants she owned, the fantastic bottom half leading into a slim waist with a flat stomach, slender arms and a healthy pair of round D-cup breasts. Her t and a wasn't quite as bombastic as her wife's, but her nigh-perfect proportions could most certainly give her a run for her money.
The Cotta-Arc house had been chosen to host the party to celebrate the coming holiday. It was clear from the start that it'd be be a pretty big affair, lots of friends and family members popping by for a couple of days, to the point the couple had been worried as to whether they'd have enough space. Never one to turn down a challenge, Saphron had elected not to try and pass the buck to someone else and agreed to be the host, Saphron's folks had even sent the couple a decent chunk of change to help them along. Terra idly wondered if they had enough bedding as she approached the front door and pulled it open, revealing-
“Jaune!”
Behind the door was the well-known, professional hunter and Saphron’s very own younger brother, 26 year-old Jaune Arc.
Dressed in a brown bench jacket, an olive-green wool scarf, black insulated pants and brown snow boots, his blonde hair was messy and a fair bit longer than before, having been pulled into a small pony tail (or a "warriors wolf tail", as he frequently corrects people), his cobalt blue eyes shone bright as ever. Jaune had grown exponentially, in both size and confidence, since he was a young man.
His once nervous, practically neurotic personality, had turned to one of great confidence through his life of travel and fending off the creatures of Grimm. What once would've been a hunched over, sheepishly smiling teenager, scratching the back of his head, was replaced with a man standing tall and proud, arms wide and a bright, cheery grin stretched across his handsome face. A rolling suit case and a large garbage bag full of boxed shaped objects sat besides him.
"Hey there, Terra!" Jaune greeted his sister-in-law, giving her a quick squeeze before turning towards the kitchen as he heard the approaching footsteps.
"Heeey!" Saphron called as she raced into the living room as fast as her black knee sock baring feet could go, her legs bore a pair of black tracksuit pants shorts, the elastic stretched taught by the woman's bombastic hips and large ass. Saphron's body was one that matched if not surpassed her wife's, at least in terms of curves, her thick, well-toned thighs, trim waist and wide hips, with accompanying heart-shaped ass, and titanic J-cup breasts, stuffed into a thick, red woollen sweater, her wavy, dirty blonde hair was done up in a ponytail as a white apron covered her front.
Jaune put down his two bags inside and opened his arms in preparation of the oncoming hug and what a hug it was. Saphron jumped at Jaune, wrapping her arms tightly around Jaune's neck and pulling his face down into her chest for a suffocating embrace.
"Oh, it's been months since I last saw you, ya big lug!"
Jaune seemed to be trying to say something, but found his words completely muffled. "Yeah, yeah, I know! Huntsman can be out in the field for much longer, but you're last visit was like 6 months ago, and you're usually teaching at Beacon, and Adrian was worried you'd gotten hurt, you know how reckless you can be, and-" Saphron rambled on-and-on as she squeezed Jaune tight, Terra watched with a bemused look as the Huntsman flailing arms began to still and then slack.
"Hey, honey?" Terra popped up behind her wife, arms crossed and a pensively placed hand on her chin.
"Yeah Ter?" Saphron looked back at her wife questioningly, who just replied by pointing back at the young man currently in her arms. Looking back down at her younger brother, Saphron noticed his complete lack of movement, his whole body fallen completely limp. Saphron let up her hug, allowing Jaune's face peeked out from between his sisters bosom, face completely pale with dead, white eyes. If Terra squinted, she could've sworn she saw a miniature, Jaune-shaped ghost float out of his mouth.
"Jaune!" Saphron exclaimed and dropped her brother onto the floor, the Huntsman flopped onto his behind, hacking his lungs out whilst simultaneously trying to draw breath into them, Terra had the heart to crouch down next to him, running a hand up and down his muscled back.
And what a back it was.
Jaune's profession had muscles as a baseline requirement, and Jaune was rocking an impressive body. Not the type of titanic muscles you would see on a body builder, and not as slim as a swimmers, it was the perfect fit between toned and beefy, built for power and speed. Terra still remembered back when Jaune was a younger teen, he'd always been tall but also pretty lanky. There was none of that now and Terra took maybe a bit more relish than was appropriate in rubbing his twitching back muscles.
Saphron looked on at her brothers suffering and rolled her eyes, "Oh come one! It wasn't that bad! Toughen up a bit." Jaune stared at his sister in wide-eyed incredulity, "You can talk!" Jaune pushed himself onto his feet with some assistance from Terra, "You weren't the one that nearly suffocated!"
"You would've been fine!" Saphron insisted.
"I almost died!"
"You did not."
"You-"
"Uh, Jaune?"
Jaune and Saphron had gotten right up in each other's faces as their bickering began to edge on shouting, the siblings looked back at Saphron's wife, nodding to Jaune's two bags, "Forgetting anything?" Terra asked. Jaune looked a little sheepish, "Uh yeah, woops."
"Damn Jaune!" Saphron grabbed the trash bag, "That’s a lot of presents! Although considering everybody that's gonna show up, are you sure you even have enough?"
"Yeah, well I did invite a couple friends, you remember the guys from Beacon right?"
"Oh, like that Ruby girl?"
"Exactly... Or at least that was the plan."
...
"What's that supposed to mean?" Saphron asked, her arms were crossed with a suspicious look on her face.
Jaune scratched the back of his head, "We~ll-"

*SLAM*
"FROZE SHUT!?"
...
*Sluuurp*
Jaune, Terra and Saphron were sitting at the kitchen table, Jaune sat on one side of the table sipping from a hot mug of cocoa, one of three prepared by Terra as Jaune explained the situation, stripped of his coat and scarf. Terra sat in one of two chairs opposite Jaune, but while she looked a little upset, she had nothing on Saphron, who had stood up and slammed her hands on the table her eyes alight in flames of anger.
Jaune spoke calmly, "Yep." The huntsman put his mug down, "Yeah, apparently the snow outside the city was so intense that the machines that work the gates got messed up, docks are out of commission too."
"What about the Bullheads?" Terra asked.
"Haven't you heard? There's been a surplus of flying Grimm across Mistral's flightpaths lately, Bullheads are benched."
Saphron flopped back into her chair angrily, slamming her head down on the table and covering it with her hands in exasperation. "GAH! I spent so much time and money on food and presents and decorations, and... and..! DAMMIT!" Terra gave Saphron a few comforting pats on the head as she wept.
"How come neither of you knew any of this? Don't you live here?" Jaune asked, sneaking another sip of cocoa.
Saphron snapped her head up, practically stabbing Jaune with her sharp glare, "Well, I was a little busy making sure we had enough food for the nearly two dozen people that were supposed to be coming over! So excuse me for being preoccupied!" Saphron slammed her head back down, continuing her exaggerated weeping as Terra brought a hand to her chin in thought.
"And I've been fully devoted to relaxing now that I've finally gotten time off work, normally I'd have learned it from the news but I've been so relaxed it must have slipped my mind." Terra posited.
"Wait." Saphron sat up and looked at her brother, "Then how did you get in?"
Jaune leaned back in his chair, "Hello! Professional Huntsman? I just scaled the wall."
Terra and Saphron stared in disbelief.
"B-but." Saphron stuttered. "That wall's like a mile high! And how did the guards let you?" Jaune just looked at his older sister amusedly.
"What part of "Professional Huntsman" don't you understand? I just flashed my license and off I went!" Jaune picked up his mug, finishing it off with one last sip, "Wasn't easy, but being able to do that is, like, a write of passage for Huntsman and Huntresses."
Saphron's mouth was wide open, Terra reached over and pushed it shut.
"Wow... I knew Hunters were amazing, but that's just..."
"Yeah I know." Jaune stretched, "Feel free to bask in my glory!"
"And there you go being a dork again..." Saphron sighed, she stood up and walked over to her stew still cooking, ignoring the sound of Jaune's indignant "Hey!"
"Guess it'll just be us and our friends from Argus at the party tomorrow." Terra grabbed hers and Jaune's empty mugs, getting a nod of thanks from the man, before standing to deposit them at the sink besides a stack of dirty pots and pans.
"Yeah? Don't think I remember them." Jaune said.
"Well you've never really stayed long enough to have introduced yourself."
"Guess so."
"Ah crap!" Saphron suddenly cursed, slapping her forehead just as Terra placed down the mugs.
"What?"
The blonde woman let out a heaving sigh, "I'm missing some ingredients, the ones for the desserts." Saphron looked back at her wife and brother. "Would you two mind hopping down to the store?"
"But I just got here!" Jaune whined with exaggerated indignance.
Saphron levelled a playfully cross look at her brother, "And if you want to stay here, you'll drive to the store with Terra and help get the groceries, got it Buster!?" Saphron yelled, hands on hips.
"Fine, jeez." Jaune got up and went to get his scarf and sweater, while Saphron looked at Terra sorrily. "Sorry about this Ter, but I really need this stuff, can't have a party without desserts! I'll text you the list."
"It's fine hon." Terra said, following Jaune to the coat rack to grab her dark blue parka and snow boots.
Jaune and Terra stepped out of the house, Saphron's list in tow.
"You bring my lady home safe now, Mr. Big-Shot Huntsman!" Saphron said as they approached the car.
"Will do, ma'am!"
"We'll be fine Saphron."
Saphron giggled before shivering and pulling the door shut, the air really was freezing out there, good thing the car is heated.
"Jeez, when did that man get such an attitude!" Saphron cocked her fists on her hips, "He better remember who the elder sibling is!" Saphron's angry expression quickly faded into one of sisterly pride.
"But jeez, he sure has grown, he and Terra are pretty close too, closer than I thought." A strange look crept onto Saphron's face, her eyebrows knitting together.
Saphron slapped her cheeks. "Ah, whatever! It's great that they're getting along, my two favourite people, palling it up! Oops, better not let the others hear that."
Saphron went back to the kitchen to check on the food, checking her mental list of dishes to make. The turnout might be smaller than expected but it'd still be decently packed and they'd already bought most of the ingredients, they could always freeze the rest or even donate it! She would still need those ingredients for the desserts though.
"Hope they get back soon."

"So, I guess it'll just be us then, that's too bad! I haven't seen my other sisters in a while."
SUCK! SLURP! GAHK!
"Not that I'm not happy to spend time with you guys!"
GAHK! GAHK! GAHK! GAHK! GAHK!
"Speaking of, you said Adrian was at a sleep over with some friends right? Guess I won't see him till tomorrow. I've got tons of stories for him!"
GAHK! GLURK! HUGLK!
"But man, that was a close call with that hug! It might've sounded like I was joking, but I seriously nearly suffocated! That Saphron, she doesn't know how to hold back, eh?
GUHLK! GUHLK! GUHLK! GUHLK! GUHLK!
"Yeah, I guess you would know that already... Speaking of Saphron she was pretty steamed about the gates and the others not coming over, she must've been pretty excited, too bad..."
BULGK!-BULGK!-BULGK!-BULGK!-BULGK!
"Oh, sorry Terra, I didn't mean to chat your ears off without letting you speak. But, it seems you're a little preoccupied!"
Jaune leant back against the cars passenger seat, the car was in the far end of the local FlorMart car park, in a corner spot surrounded by leafless trees, the car seat was moved back as far as it could go to allow the one occupying the floor some room, his trousers and underwear were pulled down to his ankles, allowing his member freedom.
Terra rolled her eyes as she crouched in front of Jaune, kneeling on the passenger seat floor, her own coat, pants and underwear were thrown across the back seat, showing off her shaved, boiling hot twat, the heat emanating off it sending steam into the air in front of her crotch heating up the car until it was almost uncomfortable, two of her slender finger were pumping in and out of her pussy rapidly, stirring up the dripping juices and making them plop onto the bare floor in thick droplets. The floor cover was also in the back seat, ready to be put on top of Terra's mess. Terra had her sweater pulled up, high enough to show her round breasts, the lacy black and blue bra covering them pulled upwards to allow their freedom, while her dark nipples stood erect in arousal.
The trip to the tore had gone by in a flash, and after depositing the groceries in the trunk, Jaune had gotten pretty touchy feely, groping Terra's breasts from behind and thrusting against the woman's rear as she put the last bag in the trunk, her attempts to bat his hands away had ended up fruitless, his skilled phalanges well versed in how to make her body sing, forcing her arousal to spike to dangerous levels.
Terra's eyes were narrowed and watery, glaring up at the young Huntsman's smirking visage, her mouth was occupied by Jaune's beast of a cock.
12-inches of rock hard meat, thick as a beer can and slick from Terra's saliva, her blushing, tear-stained cheeks hollowed and her glossy, pillowy lips rapidly gliding across the expansive cock, choking herself on the member, her tongue was stuck out underneath, further lathering the bottom half in spit and pressing into his tennis ball sized testicles every time she got close to his crotch.
Terra pulled her head back with a hard suck as she pulled her mouth off of the bitch breaker, revealing the veiny pole it in it's full glory. Terra held the cock up and laid one long lick up it's underside, giving the tip a kiss as she reached it.
Terra tried to give Jaune a severe glare, her attempt crippled by her undeniable arousal. "Jaune..."
The man in question just gave a small smile.
"Yeah?"
"Just shut up and fuck my mouth already." Terra asked irritably, leaning up, she placed her mouth on Jaune's tip and swirled her tongue around his mushroom head.
Jaune and Terra had been fucking for a long time, and after all these years his smarm during sex was still prevalent.
"But then again."Terra released Jaune's tip and opened wide, taking one of his testicle to suckle in her mouth, while simultaneously jerking him off, "That attitude really gets me going!" Terra pulled her hand out of her snatch and roughly tweaked at her erect clit.
Jaune looked up in mock pensiveness for a moment before shooting her a wolfish grin. "Well if you insist!" Jaune suddenly grabbed Terra's head in both hands, pulling his ball out of her mouth with a pop. Jaune placed Terra's lips onto his pole, Terra giving Jaune a smoky look, putting her hands on his lap to steady herself, as if silently telling him to give it to her
GALKCAHCK!!!
Jaune suddenly and simultaneously thrust upwards while pulling Terra's head downwards, burying every inch of his throbbing length down Terra's tight and slippery gullet, causing her to make a massive choking sound. Terra's eye's shot wide open as she was held at the base of Jaune's dick, but they soon rolled right back into her head.
GLK!GLK!GLK!GLK!GLK!GLK!GLK!GLK!GLK!GLK!GLK!GLK!GLK!GLK!GLK!
Jaune started moving Terra's head at a monstrous pace, pulling her up so the only the tip of his cock was in her mouth, before pulling her head back down, Terra began rapidly finger fucking herself, fingers flying in and out of her quim, her thumb flicking at her clit as his sister's wife's mind broke almost completely. Remembering how Saphron was back at the house, completely oblivious to the fact that the love of her life was relishing the feeling of losing al control, of having her throat used like a flesh-light and being dominated, he might almost feel bad if she didn't feel so good.
Hey, Jaune loved his sister, but he loved the tight throat of a sexy milf just as much! Her pussy was pretty great too...
"I'll have to fuck her later." Jaune thought before speaking to Terra, ”We'd better get back soon or Saph will start to worry."
Jaune's steel grip on Terra's head didn't break for a moment, his grip on her was further cemented as he tangled his fingers in her dark locks and pulled faster and faster.
"Take it!"
HLGKHLGKHLGKHLGKHLGKHLGKHLGKHLGKHLGKHLGKHLGKHLGKQ!
"YesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesYES!"
With three final rough thrusts into her throat, Jaune slammed the woman's head down, holding her mouth at the base of his destroyer of a cock. The large penis let out pulse after pulse, firing rope after rope after rope of thick, pearl white jizz into the dark skinned mothers stomach, the virile baby batter filled Terra's belly as she swallowed hard again and again, soon leaving no room for anymore, thankfully after a full minute, Jaune's cumshots finally began to die down. For her part, Terra's flushed pussy tightened around her fingers as she came harder than she had in months, the large amount of time since she had done this with Jaune compounding into one giant orgasm, Terra's quim squirting onto the car floor as if fired from a super soaker fittingly soaking the floor of the family car. As her explosive orgasm began to peter out into a satisfied numbness, Terra pulled her sopping fingers from her muff and rapidly rubbed her throbbing clit, slapping her self-abused pussy as she tried to extend the pleasure for as long as possible.
GU*SPLAT*KKUH
As the last ropes of semen were shot out, Jaune pulled out of the dusky skinned milfs throat with a loud slurping sound, grabbing her head with one hand and his cock in the other, jerking it hard over her face, the final, smaller shots of milk splattered over her stuck out tongue, coating the organ in it's salty taste. Terra began instinctively gulped the cum down her abused throat, the mix of salty, bitter and just the slightest hint of sweetness was just as addictive as ever.
COUGH! COUGH! COUGH!
Terra let out a few coughs, breathing heavily as she let out shaky exhales, her eyes rolled back down, her chocolate orbs distant and unfocused, her mind hazy and pussy still sending shocks of pleasure into her body.
"How was that?" Jaune asked, Terra levelled a glare at him.
"...You already know! Now come on..." Terra pushed off the floor and reached into the back, grabbing a plastic bag she had snuck into the car, containing an identical spare change of clothes, paper towels ,cleaning chemicals and air fresheners as well as deodorants. After a particularly close call a few years ago, Terra had learnt to keep an emergency clean-up bag hidden away. Before she could grab the bag, however, Jaune wrapped his arms around Terra's waist and pulled her onto his lap. Terra was about to snap at him, but stopped herself when she saw the serious look in her eyes.
"I'm serious Terra." Jaune's firm tone sent a small shiver of arousal down Terra's spine, his barely softening dick sticking between her ass cheeks didn't help, "If you're uncomfortable, then signal me to stop, and I will, this is about both of our pleasure not just mine, this is all up to you."
...
"...Dammit."
He always does this, he act's all cocky and then turns right back around to acting all caring and considerate, honestly, Terra swore she couldn’t tell if he was being serious or just manipulating her.
"You're impossible you know." Terra said her forehead pressed against Jaune's, the Huntsman grinning in response.
"Hehe, so I've been told!"
The two suddenly heard a pair of gasps, making them snap their heads to the side. There stood two women, one tall woman with light brown skin and dusty brown hair in a light brown jacket and cream coloured scarf, she had a shocked look on her face with her hands over her mouth, a practically atomic blush on her cheeks. The other far shorter woman, with blonde hair, pale skin in her own red jacket, seemed far less embarrassed and more awestruck and slightly nervous if the sweat on her face was any indication, her closed fists held beside her face, a sparkle in her eyes as she gazed in on the couple.
The women standing outside jumped a little, apparently not immediately noticing that the occupants of the car had noticed them.
"...Oh no..." Terra muttered as she immediately recognised the two women.
Shyanne and Carol had moved to Argus few months back from Atlas, Terra and Saphron had quickly befriended them using their common thread as fellow mothers to establish their rapport, Terra herself was quite fond of the two mom friends, Shyanne was very withdrawn but could be surprisingly intense when the topic breached her interests while Carol's cheer and spunk made her almost a mirror image of Saphron, height and figure differences notwithstanding. Yes Terra was fond of them, but they were also the absolute worst people to catch her and Jaune like this. Shyanne she was less worried about, the woman was so reticent and averse to conflict she would be the most likely to keep quiet even without prompting, if only to stay out of the messy situation the truth would inevitably bring about. Although, if pressed, Shyanne would immediately confess to everything, the woman couldn't hold.
Carol was another story. As fond as she was of the shorter blond mom, Terra, like everyone who knew Carol, could say without guilt that the woman was both a major gossip-monger and a massive blabbermouth, the woman could sniff out drama a mile away and was not shy in sharing it with everyone. Terra's only saving grace was that Carol wasn't a monster and never allowed her gossiping to cause harm to others, harm that this particular bit of gossip definitely would cause. This moral code, however, granted no assurances that she wouldn't spill the beans by complete accident on account of her deficient ability to know when to shut up.
Not only was she neighbours with these women, they were also both coming to the upcoming holiday party.
Sure, Terra could just uninvite them but then Saphron would want to know why. Terra knew that as ditzy as her wife could act she was by no means an idiot, keeping her in the dark about her relationship with Jaune for all these years had not been easy, there had been numerous close calls with their greatest saving grace being that they never gave Saphron a reason to doubt them alongside the Arc woman's own trusting nature. If she actually gave Saph a reason to sniff around she'd find out the truth before too long.
"Shit, shit, shit...! What do I do..."
As Terra had been having a silent panic attack, Jaune had simply sat there calmly, not thinking much of this situation at all. Terra seemed to know these vaguely familiar ladies which meant Saphron probably did too, and if they were friends they were also probably invitees to the Cotta-Arc house party, this made the chances of them telling Saphron about their relationship pretty damn likely... Ah, well. Might as well make an impression.
Jaune calmly reached over and rolled down the window, all three ladies jumped in surprise at the sudden movement. Terra wrapped her arms around the Huntsman's neck and pressing her still bare chest flush against his in a frantic attempt to protect her modesty from the gaze of the two people who were most likely to bring this fragile house of cards tumbling down.
Jaune gave the two women a cheerful grin.
"Hey there ladies!"
Jaune smacked his hand onto Terra's ass cheek, causing her to moan deeply and as it jiggled. "Can we help you?"
The two women stood blank for a second before reacting, the tall woman jumping back in surprise while the shorter one leaned forwards, chin held in her fingers and a sly look about her.
"Actually-"
"Nope!"
Before Carol could finish her sentence, Shyanne picked the shorter woman up and threw her bodily over her shoulder, dashing away from the car as fast as her long legs could go, her shorter friend yelling in indignance.
...
"Well, they seem nice." Jaune said evenly, making Terra sigh.
"Help me clean up you dork!" Despite Terra's words coupled with her rolled eyes, she still couldn't help but give an exasperated smile.

"We're back!"
Jaune and Terra stepped through the front door and kicked off their boots, Terra pulling the door shut as Jaune walked into the kitchen, both arms holding several bags of groceries. After cleaning up themselves and the car, it took no time at all to get back to the house. Saphron peaked out from the kitchen, wooden spoon in hand.
"Oh! Hey you two!" Saphron greeted brightly, "How was the trip?"
"Eh," Jaune shrugged as he placed the bags down on the kitchen table, "Pretty uneventful. We did run into two friends of yours though, what'd you say their names were Terra? Shirley? Karen?" Terra gave Jaune a severely unimpressed look, almost boring a hole directly through his own eye with just her glare, the loudmouth, realising he was pushing the limits of her tolerance, held up his hands placatingly as he squeamishly smiled at her. She didn't need to be reminded about that time bomb of a situation, thank you.
"Haha, you mean Shyanne and Carol, right?" Saphron didn't catch Terra's expression and just laughed at Jaune's seemingly faulty memory. "So, what did they say?"
Terra schooled her expression into a neutral smile, "We didn't get a chance to talk much actually, they seemed to be busy with something, Shyanne practically dragged Carol away."
Saphron shrugged her shoulders, her bounteous bust bouncing lightly in her sweater, as she turned back to the stove. "That's fine I guess, we'll just see them at the party in a few days." Being turned away, Saphron was unable to see Terra's expression tighten up for a moment before relaxing as she gave a somewhat defeated sigh.
"I suppose we will."
"Alright folks, gather 'round for some of mama Saph's world famous beef stew!"
As Jaune and Terra quickly put the groceries away, Saphron ladled out three bowls of beef stew for dinner, with the rest to be put away until the party, though when she placed to bowls down, Terra lifted her hand to stop her wife short.
"Actually, I'm sorry Saph but I'm feeling kind of tired."
"Aw, really?"
Terra gave a small smile, "Yeah, guess all that wrapping was more exhausting than I thought." Saphron frowned with a guilty look.
"Really?" She asked sceptically, "You're sure you're not sick right? I hope you didn't come down with a cold just because I asked you to go out for those groceries..." Terra let out a sigh through her nose, walking up to Saphron to clasp her hands within her own. "Don't be ridiculous, hon. I'm perfectly fine, just a bit tired and I've been snacking all day so I'm not terribly hungry either."
"You're sure?"
"I'm sure."
Terra closed in and pecked Saphron on the lips lovingly, Saphron finally smiled and let go of Terra's hands.
"Alright then, you get some rest, I'll join you after Jaune and I wrap up some more presents."
Jaune chuckled, "So I'm helping you wrap presents now too? Starting to feel less like a guest and more like a servant."
Saphron sighed performatively. "Sigh, for a supposedly super strong huntsman my baby bro sure is a lazy bones, eh Ter?"
Pointedly ignoring Jaune's high-pitched "Supposedly!?", Terra smirked.
"Oh I don't know about that one, I'm sure it just takes the right..."
Terra's smirk turned devilishly sly, turning to Jaune so only he could see.
"Motivation."
Jaune had to physically stop himself from grinning like a shark.
Saphron just gave a mock gasp. "Excuse me? You do know that, as your wife, you have to agree with everything I say right!?" Saphron turned up her nose at her wife imperiously, "Unbelievable! Away with ye!"
"Yes ma'am..." Terra sighed, making her way to the stairs.
Saphron hmphed before turning to Jaune with crossed arms, her mock affront turning into genuine worry.
"Hey, you think Terra really is okay right? I really hope she doesn't actually get sick, that's no way to spend the holidays. Especially before the party."
As Saphron questioned Jaune, very clearly concerned for her wife's health, the huntsman peeked towards where Terra had disappeared up the stair just a couple moments prior. Saphron couldn't have noticed it with her senses being that of a normal civilian, but he could see it clear as day.
That ever-so-slight, nearly imperceivable tremble in her thighs as her hips swayed up the stairs.
As he recalled the sight, Jaune smirked before turning to Saphron and giving an earnest answer.
"Yeah, she's perfectly fine!"
