Three Months Later:

Persephone lounged lazily on a mound of lavish pillows as she grinned at the dragoness across from her. Queen Narcissa had never looked so ravishing, her scales practically glowed with a sleek shimmer and the red of her wings had started to bloom just as radiantly. She was on her side, one forepaw on her wide hips as her serrated black claws batted whimsically at the curtain surrounding the pair. Yet most notable of all was the now visible bulge in her belly. Shimmering scales were wrapt tight over her taut midsection, now full with eggs as it grumbled and growled happily. Yet the queen's bump was short only of Persephone's own, who despite having conceived later, had seemed to swell with a larger clutch than any other dragoness.

Not that she was complaining about it, she loved the sensation of her eggs rolling within her, the feeling of them tapping against one another like smooth pebbles as she stretched out on her back as if to bask. She'd often find herself unable to resist rubbing the swollen lump as she slept or coo to her growing babies with newfound love. Then there was the more arousing side. She'd never have admitted it before, after all the countless times she'd rutted and never ended up pregnant, but the sensation of life swelling within her made her horny, and the fact it was the life shoved into her by her new master, more so.

He was more dreamy then she'd first imagined, not that she didn't like it rough with him from time to time. In the past few weeks, she'd been with Crytrauv more and more, she was practically his favorite, where he came when he really wanted to be reminded he was fucking a fearsome dragoness.

Weight down by her growing brood or not, Persephone was still as snappy with her fox as she'd been before, just with less of a desire to actually kill him. In fact, she'd grown rather fond of him, she wanted to impress him as she'd once done Queen Narcissa. To be the fearsome dragoness that posed at his side to intimidate anyone that would oppose him as he took charge of Malumspire in Narcissa's place. At least until she was ready to lay her first clutch for him.

Nevertheless, she'd no doubt he'd see fit to stuff her again once she did, and at the pleasant thought, she lay back and rubbed her belly. Even so, she was almost jealous she'd not be the first to pop, and subsequently be fucked again.

Nevertheless, as her rubbing forepaws glided to the base of her belly she began to tease her needy nethers, growing impatient of her master's return.

The dragoness outwardly pouted, giving a snort of smoke, only for a voice to her left to coo. "My, you are needy, just as I remember."

With a grunt, Persephone rolled her gravid form so she could stare into Narcissa's lidded eyes.

"Funny, I recall you liked it," she retorted.

"Did I say I didn't?" the queen countered as she stretched her tail over to tease the smaller dragoness. "Not to mention you look far more attractive like this."

Persephone winced as the queen's tail tickled at her pussy, and she slithered her own over to return the favour as she responded. "Who knew getting knocked up only made us sexier."

The Queen's giggle was cut off as Persephone slipped her tail in with no warning and pressed her clit. "Hmmm, I forgot you were the rough one... N-no time for foreplay."

"N-not unless my master demands it..." The smaller dragoness stammered as the queen started to be just as rough. "Hmmm, not that you don't like hard and fast... N-Narcissa, I know you."

The queen purred happily, crimson eyes lidded as she worked in time with her smaller companion. She slid her tail deep, holding it there as the smaller dragoness moaned, before coiling and rolling the scaly extremity within Persephone's pussy as her opposition's tail snaked back, curving over her own before sinking just as deep.

"Gah!" The Queen shuddered, back arching as her claws clenched. "Y... You know I'm only a slut for the master..."

"And guess who was once your master!" Persephone retorted, uttering a deep grunt as the queen's tail pressed her g-spot and her face contorted, teeth grinding and jaw clenched. "Ahhh, you... I..."

"You think you were my master? Ha, you'll break for me, little one!" Narcissa declared as she edged her way over and began to nibble at her fellow dragonesse's neck, her tail still working wonders. "Being pregnant makes you so much easier to..."

The queen let out a shrill eep, as, without warning, Persephone's tail stroked her clit, rubbing it over and over without mercy and driving her to the edge of climax in seconds. True to her words, her gravid condition did make her more susceptible, but to a far greater extent then she'd anticipated, and Persephone took full advantage of that kinky vulnerability, driving the queen to cum way before herself.

"Arg... Y-you little... Ohhh!" The Queen's face practically melted along with the rest of her, tongue lulling and wings loose at her flanks. "You beat... me."

Yet Narcissa did not let up and as she rolled in the pleasure of her orgasm, Persephone's face contorted. The smaller dragoness growled and grunted, seeming to possess far more resilience than the queen, before with a smoke-spitting roar, she came hard, juices blasting out around the Queen's tail and over the pillows.

"Oh... by Umbra... You still got it, your Darkness," she declared, grasping at Narcissa's shoulders and biting her neck. "Give me your tongue next, I've no time for this tail teasing!"

Narcissa moaned, gladly accepting the bites to her scarred neck as she stroked the spines on the back of her lover's.

"Hmm, maybe I will. You still cum hard for your size, little one," she cooed as she nibbled back.

"Talk like that and I'll have to fuck those eggs out of you so he can stuff more in!" Persephone countered, but the Queen simply snorted.

"Oh, you know I'm not due for another month, my sweet." The Queen coiled her neck to lick Persephone's taut belly, feeling the eggs roll within. "You're even larger, though might I say, you're gorgeous this huge."

"Save your breath, Narcissa, just because I have the blessing of fertility," the smaller dragoness shot back as she saw to her Queen's swollen midsection. "I will enjoy it when you pop first."

"You and me both, my sweet," Narcissa cooed, just as there was a loud groan beyond the curtains, and the door to the bed-chamber swung open.

The two dragonesses instantly paused, their heads perking up like timid birds before they glanced at each other and purred in union. "He's back."

The sound of tapping claws on marble and the giggles of two other dragonesses lounging outside heralded their master's arrival. But intertwined as they were, both the Queen and her lover simply stayed that way, all the while trying to make their needy rumps as exposed as possible.

"Hard to see with your ass in my face, Narcissa!" Persephone hissed, as her hind legs were spread in full view of any onlookers.

"Shut up, you're not that bothered," The Queen countered, shoving her rump in her smaller lover's face as she lounged atop her, head resting on Persephone's egg-filled bump, just above her splayed pussy.

All the while, she stroked the smaller dragonesse's thigh like it was a delicate meal upon a silver platter. Yet such a feast was for her beloved master, and sure enough, the silken curtain soon parted as she was met with the face of Crytrauv. The fox boasted a coy grin, yet seemed almost taken aback by the sudden sight of the Queen pinning Persephone down before him, the smaller dragoness forcibly presenting herself.

"Welcome back, Crytrauv." Narcissa's lidded eyes met her master's as she purred. "As you can see I've prepared dinner, she's nice and wet."

Persephone snorted, nibbling her Queen's ass as Crytrauv finally found his voice. "I can see that. My, aren't the two of you just the most gorgeous things?"

"Oh, I could say that about you, handsome," The Queen retorted as she bowed her head and licked Persephone's folds, making extra sure to provoke her clit. "Did I ever tell you I think she tastes of blueberries?"

"Gah!" Persephone hissed as she shuddered, her claws tensing against Narcissa as she ceased the Queen's rump in her fore-talons and squeezed hard. "You... Arg... I'll show you blueberries!"

She plunged her tongue deep into Narcissa's pussy, muzzle parting the Queen's sopping labia as she moaned deeply. The two started to roll their hips in union, backs arched and wings ruffled as they purred. All the while Crytrauv marveled at his two broody dragonesses performing the most beautiful sixty-nine before him. Their limbs and tails sprawled out around them as he carefully prowled his way around, like a hunter ready to pounce.

"You know, I thought about asking the two of you to treat me to a show tonight," he suggested, taking a position on his bed and lounging with a claw on his hip. "Seems like you're both way ahead of me."

"Of course, master..." Narcissa stated, only to be cut off by a sultry moan as her face contorted. "Don't we now live to please you?"

"S-speak for yourself... Gah... This was your doing, Narcissa!" Persephone forced as she licked deeply into the Queen's folds and the larger dragoness shuddered, jaw clenching with a snarl.

"You speak like you didn't want it, little one?" The queen growled back, shoving her rump into Persephone's face again as she gripped the smaller dragonesse's inner thighs and returned the favour.

"I... I... Blame the hormones... Pregnancy makes me super horney!" Persephone reasoned, words muffled as she snorted into her queen's passage.

"And my, how wonderful it makes you both look," Crytrauv commented as he sat up, resting his head in a leaning paw as he admired his dragonesses. "The motherly glow goes very well on both of you."

The two dragonesses paused, Narcissa flopping her head against Persephone's inner thigh, while the smaller of the pair leaned back with a pout.

"Well, why don't you come over here and get a closer look, handsome?" The former cooed, eyes lidded as she beckoned him with a flick of her tail. "I do so adore it when you fuck me and rub my swollen belly."

Meanwhile, Persephone growled. "Not if he sees to me first, my belly is bigger and needs way more attention."

"Of course it does," the queen quipped with a sly glance back. "What I think you really mean is that you need more attention."

Persephone snarled. "What does it matter? He'll fuck us both, I just want to be first in line this time!"

"Sure, little one," The queen retorted, before she shoved her rump back into Persephone's snout, forcing the smaller dragonesse's muzzle in deep as she moaned and ordered. "Now, be quiet and let that tongue of yours go to work, the rulers are talking!"

The Queen let out a shrill gasp as Persephone uttered a disgruntled snort into her, but the smaller dragoness obliged greedily, licking at Narcissa's clit as Crytrauv finally slipped over.

"And a fine ruler you are, my Queen," he offered, one claw on his sheath as it started to swell, and the red that Narcissa adored appeared at its tip. "Watching you is almost good enough."

"Only almost?" the Queen purred, swaying her hips for Persephone as she peered down at her master's cock slipping free. "Why not take over." "Oh I will, but right now I'm content watching the appetizer," he assured, stroking her shoulder as she shuddered under Persephone's sultry influence. "Good girls."

"A-as... You wish... Aak," the Queen grunted, hips rolling and muzzle wrinkling as Persephone's tongue danced on her clit. "Ohh... but it's hard to talk with... A... Rump full..."

Persephone did not relent, snorting into her queen's channel, licking deeper as the most unsavory sounds emitted. All the while, Crytrauv watched, stroking himself as his cock slipped free and started to swell. Narcissa eyed the shimmering red length hungrily, eeping and yelping as Persephone dug under her tail and sucked on her clit.

The mixture of sensations, from the pleasure swelling in her nethers once more, to the lustful thoughts of Crytrauv and the feeling of his eggs rolling in her taut belly, they were all almost overwhelming. She'd never felt this good before, to be stimulated from so many sides and angles, and just as she thought it could get no better she roared, cumming hard over Persephone's muzzle.

The smaller dragoness drank up the warm juices like they were a fresh summer cocktail, lapping every lingering drop from the Queen's luscious labia before she withdrew with a wet snort. Her tongue lulled as she panted hard, flared nostrils covered in strings of sticky, hot, cum.

"My, my, you've never come so hard, my Queen," she admired, slapping Narcissa's toned flanks and squeezing her hips. "Good to know I still break you."

"Like a waterfall every time," Crytrauv observed as he stroked his dark mate, all the while the larger dragoness panted and moaned.

"You two fiends, don't belittle me!" she hissed playfully, batting her eyes at the dominant fox.

"Please, every time you're strapped into your harness, you're belittled," Persephone chastised, giving the Queen's butt another firm pinch. "It's where you belong."

The Queen yelped, hips rolling as she glared back. "Says the slut who was bred in it her first time."

Persephone rolled her eyes, smoke snorting from her flaring nostrils before Crytrauv swiftly interrupted.

"Are you going to take that kind of talk from her, my dark queen?" he asked, face marred by a sly smirk as he added. "Why don't you take her next, I'd love to see it." He rested a claw on his growing member, rubbing it to half-mast as Narcissa grinned. Her master's face smitten as he pleasured himself, she surged up from the pillows and wiggled her snout under Persephone's tail. On her back, and belly swollen with eggs, the smaller dragoness was hopelessly defenceless as she splayed her limbs wide and moaned.

"Why don't you get over here and take us both, fox?" Persephone spat playfully, glaring daggers at Crytrauv as Narcissa went to work. "I... I'm starting to doubt y-you... Arg!"

The dragonesse's words were cut off as Narcissa began to suckle on her clit, snaking tongue working masterfully as their master stood up and slid over to the Queen's raised tail. He inspected the swaying hips of his dark mate like they were a fine wine, stroking her inner thighs she gasped into Persephone's folds.

"Gah... Stop teasing her!" Persephone moaned as squelching breaths escaped her sopping pussy. "I... it makes her fuck me harder!"

"Oh but how often do I get to stimulate you both at the same time like this?" Crytrauv mused as he crouched down to sniff at his queen's pussy. "It has been quite some time since I last saw you packed with my seed, my Queen."

Without a word, Narcissa moaned harder, spreading her hind legs and throwing her hips back, seeing his muzzle was forced into her as she smirked. Crytrauv's snout was buried in her moist folds with a wet sound, his eyes going wide as Persephone called out in blissful ecstasy, her own hips thrusting back and forth as she came hard over her Queen's muzzle.

"Oh, you horny... fuck!" she forced, as Narcissa giggled into her channel, plunging her tongue deep to lap up the smaller dragonesse's orgasm. "That's it... Lap it up!" Persephone coiled her tail tightly around Narcissa's neck, holding the Queen close as Crytrauv settled, stroking her inner thigh as he started to lick deeply. Stuck between the two of them, all the queen could do was arch her back, moan like she never had before, and flare her wings. She would lick, and be licked at the same time, and she loved every single devious moment of it!

Crytrauv's tongue looped on her clit before sinking deep to lap at her silken channel. The Queen's eyes rolled back in her skull as her body moved with him, pleasure blooming in her nethers with each tap of her sensitive love button. Yet just as soon as he'd started, Crytrauv paused, teasing her as he always did. Pulling his cum-laden muzzle free, he licked her clean as sticky strands dribbled from his snout.

"My, you are wonderful, my Queen," he admired, stroking her hips lovingly as Narcissa was held in place by Persephone, forced to keep looking forward as she attempted to glance back. "What a lucky fox I am."

"Y-you're one to talk!" Persephone growled as she came again, rolling in her waves of ecstasy as she snorted fire. "N-now are you going to fuck her so I can let go... She's strong... I can't hold her for much longer."

The smaller dragoness shuddered as Narcissa's tongue weakened her more and more, forcing her to cum over and over like a tormentor. At that plea, Crytrauv drew back, smirking as he rose up and stroked his stiff member. For a long moment he admired the two dragonesses he'd broken as they roiled in hot pleasure, before with a paw on Narcissa's tail to shift it aside, he leaned forward.

"As you wish, my queens." At that, he finally slipped his canine cock to the edge of Narcissa's folds and she uttered a shrill gasp. "I'll fuck you as hard as you like, fill your pussy with my seed like that first day I found you!"

The queen rolled her hips, shoulder, and arched her spine as she grunted hard into Persephone. All the while, the smaller dragoness held her there, her sly grin periodically interrupted by a wince or shrill gasp.

"H-how do you like it, Narcissa? Now you're the one stuck in the middle?" she cooed, wrapping her hind claws around the Queen's slender neck. "All those times you fucked a guy and never have I seen you quite like this."

"It must just be the effect I have on you wonderful ladies," Crytrauv observed, stroking his Queen's toned ass and grunting as he shoved in and out, his knot bulging against her ready entrance. "I... I... Gah!"

The fox winced, sharp teeth flashing as he snarled and grasped his dragonesse's hips hard. "Are you disagreeing with me, my queen?"

Unable to talk, Narcissa shot a coy glance back at him as she clenched her hind muscles and squeezed his cock, almost as if to start milking the pre pooling at its tip. Yet within moments her sly peek was snatched by a hard tug from Persephone. "Did you just take your eyes off me, my Queen?" The smaller dragoness hissed, receiving a deep, stimulating lick from Narcissa in return. "Ohhh... By Umbra, forget I asked."

Persephone's savage resolve was utterly diminished as she rolled in pure ecstasy, head flopping back, and coiled tail spasming. The queen grinned within the warm folds of her smaller lover, only to wince and grunt as Crytrauv rammed her with his full-mast cock.

"Oh... I think she's ready for you... Knot her hard!" Persephone cried as she rolled her hips in time with Narcissa, who in turn, moved in sequence with their furred master. "Knot her and stuff her full!"

"You don't need to tell me twice!" Crytrauv grunted as Persephone felt Narcissa tense and, with an audible sound, his knot shoved its way into the Queen's tight passage. "Ohhh, that's a good girl!"

The queen tried to pull back, break her muzzle free of Persephone's pussy to call out in blissful pleasure, but she was locked there by her two eager lovers and all she could do was moan deeply into the smaller dragoness. The pleasurable motion caused Persephone's long tongue to lull between her fangs, smoke streaming from her throat as she purred happily.

"She likes it, love, she really likes it!" she called as she held Narcissa's head to her pussy, allowing the Queen but a fleeting moment to breathe before she shoved her back down. "I... I-can... Aaa!"

The smaller dragonesses' words once again trailed off into roars of pleasure as Crytrauv smirked, thrusting hard in and out of his Queen over and over, his tight knot binding them together as he stimulated her needy clit.

"I... I can tell... I... Humph." Even the smug fox's words ended with a bestial snarl as he shuddered, grasping his Queen's wide hips harder as she slumped over, his cock at the very gates of her egg-packed womb as he did so. "She's such a good... girl..."

He shoved into her hard, all three of them shunting forward and scattering pillows from the comfy mound. The motion elicited a moan from each of them, as all three were locked in the heat of rut. Sweat, seaman, and dragoness cum all mixing in an orgy of blissful sensation.

"I... I... This is what I have for you... now you're mine!" Crytrauv cooed as he rested his head on the Queen's neck, shoving in and out of her as hard as he could as he glared at Persephone beneath. "You're my good girls now and no cock is fit for you but..."

He bit down hard on Narcissa's neck, and she finally broke free of Persephone's tight grasp as she roared fire into the air.

"But mine!" Crytrauv roared with her, pulling back and shoving into her with all his might.

The next few moments of pure, blinding ecstasy went by like a sultry blur. The wet sounds emanating from under the queen's tail were rivaled only by those slipping from Persephone's folds. The heat-filled frenzy was only added to by luscious moans, grunts of pleasure, and yelps of pure delight as the three rutted each other like savage beasts. The air around them grew humid, the pillows became wet and sweat met sleek scales until Crytrauv finally snorted.

"T-too bad I can't knock you up twice... I'm... C-Close!" He held her hips like a tight vice, claws cutting into her scales as she moaned with him. All the while Persephone glared at him as his eyes were snatched away with another thrust, lost within his contorted face as he snarled. Strained, the fox could only grunt as the smaller dragoness on the bottom of the pile cooed.

"If anyone could fill her with eggs again, it'd be you." She wiggled her hips, rear legs spread wide as she held Narcissa firmly in place with her tail. "Now, give her what she needs. Just make sure there's enough for me afterward!"

"There will be... I'll take you both before the night is... Gah!" Crytrauv forced out his strained words through gritted teeth as his jaw clenched and his muscles went taught.

The evidence of his powerful climax was clear on his suddenly relaxing face as his tongue lulled and his ears drooped. Meanwhile, Narcissa yelped, going rigid as stone in Persephone's tight grip as she moaned deeply into the smaller dragonesse's pussy. The dragoness below moaned too, tongue lulling more so as claws tore gashes in pillows and wings blew feathers free as they ruffled.

"Fuck... You... two..." Persephone panted as Crytrauv slumped over the queen's rear to peer at her. "You horny fiends!"

"You're one to talk, all sex with you is rough," The fox countered and, the smaller dragoness pouted.

"Easy for you to say." She flexed her tail. "I prefer angry sex," she added with a devious grin.

"Oh she does, rough and to the point," the Queen huffed as she pulled free of Persephone and licked her cum-slavered lips greedily. "I can attest to it."

Narcissa glanced back at Crytrauv as he pulled out of her with a pop, admiring his work as her packed pussy dribbled a little of his warm seed.

"Have I ever told you, you're wonderful back here?" he asked as he laid back, legs spread as he rubbed his cum-laden cock like a lover. "Every day I see you try to walk with a pussy so full... Oh, it pleases me."

"That'd be every day, Hun," Narcissa responded, shooting a coy look over her shoulder as she wiggled her hips and grinned.

"Then every day is a good..." Before the fox could finish, he caught sight of Persephone stalking around Narcissa and fixing him with a hungry glare.

Like never before, he paused, meeting her crimson eyes as he had so many times while rutting the Queen. Yet this time Persephone was free, and pounced on him, pinning him to the pillows and lowering herself until her gravid belly rubbed his hard cock. He did not take his eyes off her as she straddled him, positioning her folds above his cock before slowly slipping down to embrace it.

"I do hope you're... R-right about having enough," she moaned as she started to work her hips up and down. "Because I told you... That... Gah, one day... I'd either mount you or kill you!"

Not one to be pinned often, Crytrauv grasped Persephone's tight belly, feeling his new brood roll under her scales. Yet for once, he had no qualms about her on top, mainly because she was rather heavy for him to shift in her current state.

"She does like it on top," Narcissa remarked, continuing to lick her wet claws greedily as Persephone's snout met Crytrauv's, and she declared with a hip thrust. "Oh, I really do!"

********

The night was still and heavy, like a thick blanket hanging in the dense air as dragons snored and torch flame flickered. Silken curtains danced in a light breeze drifting in from an ajar window and small moths flitted on the wind. Yet the humid tranquillity was interrupted as Narcissa sat up with a grunt.

The Queen ached, every one of her limbs felt like they had been stretched, her neck arched and her genitals packed full. She could still feel her furred master's seed packed into her womb, along with the eggs that he'd seeded there months ago. That wasn't even counting the cold trickle running down the inside of her thigh as she lay back and rested a claw on her swollen belly.

"All this for you, little ones?" she muttered to herself as she massaged her taught scales, the sensation of eggs rolling within like stones in her belly as she purred. "To think, I didn't want you."

She cast her mind back to weeks ago when she'd first received the letter telling her what she was going to have to do. She'd considered the mere idea of being bred by a fox to be utterly outlandish, ridiculous to the highest degree. She'd wanted nothing more than to kill the stupid canine the moment she'd seen him, and after the way he'd treated her that first day she had to admit, she'd still considered it for weeks afterward.

Yet, call it motherly instincts, as she lay here now, claws on her swelling tummy as she leaned over to lick the bulge, she could not care for what she'd once thought. The sensation of new life blooming within her was more magical than any heat-potion or the sensation of a glorious cock under her tail. It was a warm and fuzzy contrast to the masochistic and often devious atmosphere that permeated the palace. Even Persephone's harsh temper, it seemed, had been tempered by her blooming motherhood, and as the Queen glanced over at the smaller dragonesse's belly, she smiled.

"Who knew it would also make her far sexier?" she muttered to herself as she lay on her back and splayed out her limbs to gaze at her glorious midsection. "Can't say I mind how it looks on me either."

Talking to herself as if the room was filled with eavesdropping specters, the queen purred like a happy cat as she mothered her brood, at least until a shifting caught her attention. Her head shot up like a loosed arrow, eyes darting to every shadow before they settled on Persephone. The smaller brood-dragonesse's eyes were open, like crimson pyres peering at the Queen.

"You purr like some stray kitten fresh off the teat," the smaller dragoness muttered from where her cum-stained head lounged between Crytrauv's thighs. The fox himself was fast asleep, one paw pressed between Persephone's horns as he muttered and jerked in his dreams as if replaying the evening's orgy over and over in his mind.

Regardless, his lover lifted her head, shrugging off his paw and seeing it slip to the pillows as she cooed.

"To think you were once the fearsome queen of Malumspire." Narcissa pouted. "I still am, I'm just his queen."

She nodded at Crytrauv, then smirked as she added. "Though for someone who once called him a throw rug, you seem to have adopted the role."

The Queen nodded to where her pregnant companion was lounging and Persephone snorted. "Anything to get under his tail... He... He's better than I gave him credit for, I'll admit."

She glanced at him as she confessed, a smitten look on her face as he moaned her name in his sleep. "I still like to be on top from time to time, though."

"You and me both, though the brood is making that hard," the Queen added, glancing at her ever-growing belly before she sighed. Persephone cocked her head, looking back before taking a deep breath and asking.

"Do you still think it was worth it? Sacrificing ourselves for Umbra like this?" She nuzzled her own belly as she did so.

"I'm not sure, but to be with him... To see what will come of our time together..." The Queen's eyes remained fixed on her bump as she considered just how much she longed to meet their beautiful children. "I don't regret it... I admit... I enjoyed being with him."

"Well, one thing's for sure, I know my brother regrets crossing me," Persephone added with a smirk, and Narcissa grinned.

"Whatever did you do to him?" she enquired, but Persephone merely winked as she added with a devilish expression.

"Something he won't soon forget, but you know me." She rolled onto her back, claw on her belly as she added. "A dragoness still has to keep some of her secrets, after all."
