This story DOESN'T contain cub. Because I strongly believe everyone should be able to enjoy porn, I've made two versions of this story, and if you'd rather the daughters be younger then check out the other version on my page :) It still contains incest, but like... considering the title of this story I guess you already know that. *** Aly takes her two daughters to relieve their childhoods and hopefully sap them of some of their wild energy. Little does she know there are much better ways to satiate the excitement of the two randy teens...***

Alison sat on the lounge, her muzzle resting delicately on the back of her paw as she watched the two girls rolling about the carpet. Luna, the nimble little eagle currently on top and buffeting her wings against her sister, had just come home from her Saturday sports practice and yet seemed just as bursting with energy as ever. The lion below, Wynter, was clearly going easy on her but at the same time immobilised by the tickling sensation of her older sister's wings. When Luna finally let up her assault she squealed as her sister rolled her over and together they went tumbling across the room. They banged into a table and the lamp on top tipped dangerously, and a second later Alison was up and setting it safely back into place. She carefully separated the girls with a foot and shook her head in bemusement. 'It was cute when you were young but you two are nearly adults now, you can't just go barrelling around the living room. You'll demolish it.'

'Sorry mummy', Luna said with big wide eyes and the avian equivalent of a pout, and Wynter giggled. Their mother rolled her eyes.

'Honestly, you two don't act half this energetic during the school week.'

Wynter blew a strand of hair out of her eye. 'School's just a social construct meant to oppress the poor and vindicate the rich.'

'It's there to get you out of my fur five days a week. Who told you that anyway?

'Dad says it about work whenever he stays home and pretends to be sick.'

Aly slapped her forehead with a paw and called out down the hall, 'Kyano! Stop teaching the kids to think critically!' To her daughters, she said, 'if you're going to act like cubs and chicks, why don't you go down to the park for a while? You can burn off your energy there and some fresh air will do you good.'

To her surprise they immediately agreed, and both dashed upstairs to get changed, grabbing each other's tails as they went. When they were gone, Aly's husband, a tall, broad clydesdale, with brown fur and a white blaze running down his face poked his head out of their bedroom and gave her a look. 'Weren't you guys just out at Luna's soccer?' He was wearing a robe, having spent most of the day lounging around, which ended just below his knees and showed off the thick white feathering around his legs. It also hung slightly open under the belt, flashing glimpses of the thick, full sheath just underneath.

Aly tried to ignore it. 'We were, I'm just doing what I can to keep the house intact. We're heading down to the park where hopefully they can burn off some energy. How's our little one?'

Their relationship was a unique one, though the peculiarities were by now nothing strange to either of them. Kyano was not always a stallion, nor even a horse--sometimes, she was an eagle just like their eldest daughter. It had been during such a period that they'd conceived their newest child, whom was still an egg with a few more weeks to incubate. Kyano had taken time off to look after it, though they both shared the responsibility of caring for their children equally. 'As good as ever. Looking forward to coming out, I bet.' He trotted quietly over and hugged her warmly, and Alison gave his neck a loving lick. They shared the brief moment gladly, and then a duet of excited squeals rang out and Luna and Wynter rushed down the stairs and barrelled through them. Kyano gave her a thankful grin, then kissed her forehead and returned to the bedroom. 'Have fun! Don't get into too much trouble', he called out as he left, and the two girls stared after him with the faces of angels.

'We won't', they both chorused, and Aly could practically see the halos glowing around their heads. The moment Kyano's door shut they started chattering and giggling again and rushed out the door, sprinting out onto the grassy lawn and practically falling over each other. Why did teenage girls have to be quite so... loud? Alison rubbed her ears as she ushered them into the car.

The girls gossiped excitedly in the back as Aly drove them down the 10-minute stretch of quiet backstreet roads. Ever the casual lioness, Wynter as dressed in form-fitting red shorts and a small pinkish shirt. She hadn't opted to wear a bra (she was still growing in that area, she claimed), so her hard little nipples poked through her top rather distractingly. Around her neck was a little gold pendant she'd got for her birthday, which was the only 'girly' thing she allowed herself anything to do with.

Luna was about as opposite from her sister as you could get. She was boisterous, witty, and the epitome of the overconfident extrovert, but she did it in a way that managed to be endearing rather than irritating. She'd opted for a short blue skirt with a seemingly weightless hem that flashed up to reveal her matching underwear whenever she so much as turned around, and a white tank top that gave her wings plenty of space to move. Unlike her sister Luna was rather gifted in the chest area, and was already bigger than her mother, yet despite the fact she did actually need to wear a bra she often complained they were 'all too uncomfortable' and went without. Aly had tried to take her shopping for more many times, but her daughter didn't seem to mind that the swells of her chest could be seen through the armholes of her top. And while her mother was always a little concerned about the slightly tantalising way her eldest daughter dressed, the wedge-tailed eagle certainly knew how to put an outfit together. The feathers on her back were of a dark brown which turned into a soft russet toward her face and chest. Both shades blended well with her choice of blue, and then those three matched her white top. Aly wasn't sure if it was a conscious decision, but either way she couldn't help but feel a little envious--even though she herself only ever wore jeans and a modest blouse, there was something so ubiquitously adorable about Luna that she could never hope to match. Cute teens did that, she supposed.

The park didn't have a name, or at least none that Aly knew of. It was a quiet little place, just a modest playground with a few swings and a sandpit, but it was well kept by the council and they'd used to spend many happy weekend afternoons there. It had used to be practically deserted, but today there were two small families; a cute moose couple pushing a happy calf on a swing, and a leopardess sitting on a bench watching her two little cubs building piles of sand and then kicking them over in glee. On top of the playground set was a bluebird, probably the same age as Luna, though whether he was here with anyone Aly wasn't sure.

The moment they parked Luna and Wynter were off, determined to conquer the playground and relieve the days of their childhoods. Aly padded over to the bench, sitting beside the leopardess, and together both mothers watched their children in silence. It was just after noon, and though the sun was directly above them it wasn't too hot or bright--the autumn months set it at just the right temperature for a day out. A few orange leaves skittered by in the gentle wind, but most of the trees were native evergreens that kept the park hidden away from the suburban streets surrounding it. Aly relaxed into the bench and folded her paws in her lap, letting out a contented sigh.

The sisters' play had turned into serious business now, after both had argued over which imaginary monsters would be the coolest to fight, and which of them would be the Lady High Queen of All Existence, Including the Oceans and Space but Not Black Holes Because They're Not Very Good Real Estate™. As usual, Luna won out on that one, but Wynter didn't seem to mind to much. Leaning into the experience, she happily protected her lady from the monsters, swiping at the air with her claws and raar!-ing cutely whenever they got too close. They progressed around the playground, taking up the swings when the two bucks and their kid left, and then moving to the sandpit and saying hello to the two cubs who immediately asked to join in. The leopardess next to Alison smiled and nudged her when the newly formed troupe split up to surround Luna and fight off the biggest wave of monsters yet. The two leopard cubs were near identical, probably about the same age too, and both wore blue short shorts and red tops. Their fur was short, spotted with cute black dots, and their tails flicked whenever they got excited which was most of the time. As they fanned out to deal with the stragglers, Wynter climbed up to the top of the playground for lookout and mewled in surprise when she saw the bluebird. He let out a yell and slipped off, flapping his wings just in time to save himself from a nasty fall. Guiltily Wynter jumped down after him to see if he was okay, but he turned away and started walking toward the far side of the playground.

'Oi, Carter, don't be rude', called out the leopardess next to Aly. Alison looked at the woman in surprise.

'He's yours?'

'Yeah. Is that a shock?' Her voice had a slight edge to it, like it was a question she'd been asked many times before. Something that Aly could relate to, having received some odd looks whenever she was out with Luna alone.

'I guess not', Aly shrugged, 'considering she's mine.' She tried to point to Luna but suddenly the bird was out of sight. Thankfully her benchmate seemed to understand and turned to her with a pleasant smile, a paw outstretched.

'Alex.' Her accent was slightly posh, certainly sophisticated, which leant her a peppy, pleasant manner. Aly shook her paw warmly, noting the other feline's neat, clipped claws.

'I'm Alison. It's nice to meet you', and they both turned back to check on their children. The bluebird, Carter, had given in to Wynter's demands to join in, and was awkwardly following along with the imaginary fighting that was going on. When they got back to the sand pit, where a big sandcastle had been constructed as their home base, the two little leopard cubs ran over and chatted away to them excited. Then Carter said something, and they all looked around in confusion. No Luna anywhere.

'Oh, my gosh, look at that. Adorable.' Alex nudged her again and pointed to the swing set, where a certain wedge-tailed eagle was peeking bashfully out from behind one of the supporting poles. She was staring at Carter and Aly could practically see her cheek feathers turning pink, in a manner unlike anything she'd seen from Luna before.

'I think we may have a romance on our paws', she grinned, and Alex sighed.

'Ah, the joys of young love. I'm a bit jealous.' When Alison glanced at her she shrugged and gave her a half smile. 'Single mother', she explained. 'Not much luck with love, I'm afraid. Or at least nothing that lasted.'

'Single mom with three kids? That can't be easy.'

'It has its challenges, but we do alright, and Carter helps take care of his sisters. It's honestly nice to have them all to myself sometimes. Only problem is my job takes up a fair amount of time, and since Carter's still at school we're always trying to find babysitters.'

'Where do you live?'

'Just down Moore's.'

'Oh, that's about two minutes from ours', Aly said, then tilted her head. Carter had spotted his secret admirer by now, and was in the process of heading over when Luna ducked away to find something else to hide behind. 'Say, since our two are going to be finishing school soon I'm sure we could help out if you ever need it.'

Alex furrowed her brow. 'You've already got two, are you going to be able to handle any more? Not that I'm doubting your parenting skills or anything, just... Carter's easy to manage, but Alice and Aisha can be quite the pawful.'

'Well actually, it'll be three soon', she giggled and Alex patted her on the back.

'Well see? You definitely won't have time to sit them all.'

'My husband's got six months off to look after them and I work online so if you do need help, I'm always going to be willing to give it. Just an offer.'

They were both quiet for a moment. Then Alex let out a breath and gave her a small, hopeful smile. 'Actually, that... that would be really good. Thank you.'

The bluejay had finally caught up to Luna, who was now standing stock still and unable to get out anything except a nervous squeak. Carter spoke to her softly, like he was calming a feral animal, and there was a tenderness in his actions that warmed Alison's heart.

'So, your romantic little eagle, how old is she?'

'Luna's seventeen, just last month. Certainly doesn't act like it though.'

'Really? So I guess she's boy crazy. How went the talk?' Aly looked at her blankly and the mother repeated herself cautiously. 'The talk? You know, about... getting together and maturing and self enjoyment and all stuff. She looked a little nervous, as if she'd committed to something she regretted saying. Aly put a reassuring paw on her arm.

'Right, of course, sorry. I gave her the talk a while ago, and she seems to have her wings down on it. I think she found it stimulating, so it wasn't weird at all. Just a part of growing up I suppose.'

Now back in the sandpit, Luna was staring at Carter as he told her about school or books or something. She seemed to be on cloud nine and looked like she might wake from a dream at any moment. Sensing the sparks, Wynter was keeping the leopard cubs occupied back up on the playground, helping them sail a pretend pirate ship through some turbulent seas. There was a moment of hesitation from Alex, but after Aly turned to her and cocked her head beckoningly she summed up the courage. 'Can I... ask you something? Mom to mom.' She was quiet, and her cheeks were flushed a light crimson under her fur. Aly nodded and she licked her lips nervously. 'Do you sometimes... like when daughters get, um... so you, uh...' She shook her head and waved a paw. 'No, forget it, never mind.'

Aly leant closed to her, a concerned look on her face. 'Go on. No judgement, I promise.'

'Well it's just... Carter's seventeen too, and sometimes he gets... like if we're watching a movie or something and there's some... attractive animals on it. And he doesn't have a girlfriend or anything and so, um...' she cleared her throat, speaking quieter with each work, 'do you, sometimes... help?'

Aly dragged her tongue over her teeth, looking at her new friend for a long time. Eventually, she dropped her shoulders and nodded. 'Yeah, sometimes. They can both be very persistent.'

'...and your husband, does he...?'

'He would never, ever do anything to hurt them. So only when they want him too, and he's always careful.'

Alex nodded. 'Right. Cool. Sorry, it's just I've never met... well, I don't talk to a whole lot of animals that aren't somehow related to work, and especially not someone I can relate to. So it's nice.'

They both smiled at each other, and then her watch beeped and she looked at it in annoyance. 'Speaking of work, I have to be heading off. But here, let me...' she grabbed notebook from her handbag and tore a page out, scribbling down a number and pressing it into Aly's paws. 'There's my number, give me a call sometime in the evening and we can arrange something.' She nodded to Luna and Carter, who were by now getting on grandly. 'Perhaps a play date is in order before anything else. Emphasis on the 'date' part.'

Aly giggled and tucked the number safely into her pocket. 'I look forward to it, and I'm sure Luna will too.'

They headed over to separate the kids, and though at first Luna looked devastated, the mention of a playdate perked her right up. She waved to Carter, who waved back with a smile before ushering the cubs over to follow their mother.

Luna sighed happily as she stared after him, and Wynter and Aly exchange a look. 'Someone's got a cruuuuuuush', they sang, and Luna blushed even more.

By the time they arrived home, the girls had mellowed out and were just chattering quietly away in the back. It was late afternoon, and the sky was just beginning to turn a gentle yellow as the sun met the early evening of a mountainous horizon. Aly let the teens inside and dumped her stuff on the sideboard, then headed to the kitchen to fix herself a sandwich. A little down the hall Kyano appeared and gave her a welcoming smile. He'd just gotten out of the shower, mane still damp and a towel wrapped around his midsection, and Aly could once again admire his hunky form. He wasn't a bodybuilder, nor did he go to the gym all that often, but he'd gotten that labourer's body that was toned enough to break up his torso into visible sections. Strong arms that felt good wrapped around her, a lean, board back patterned with symmetrical stripes that sent the eyes on a tour up and down, and a firm chest that felt nice to sleep on. She wasn't usually one for gender archetypes, and indeed she loved Kyano just as much as a bird, but there was something about his masculine aroma that was just so... enticingly sexy.

Not that she couldn't beat him in a fight or anything.

'How'd it go? Are the wrecking balls safely tired out?' he asked as he trotted up to her and reached for her sandwich. She slapped his wrist away and then reached out to his hips and pulled him toward her, so their bellies were touching.

'It was nice. I met someone too, another mother. I offered to babysit.'

He wrinkled his nose a little. 'Isn't our house damaged enough?'

'I wanted to help out. Plus, you need more friends.'

'What have I got to do with this?'

She took the edges of the towel and unfurled it, bringing it up around his neck and pulling him close to her so that their muzzles were only inches apart. 'I meant to say we offered to babysit', she said and he rolled his eyes with a snort.

'I hope there's going to be a reward.'

'Oh, I'm sure I can think of something.' Her paw found its way to his balls, which hung full and low after the heat of the shower. She squeezed them gently and he bit his lip, his length slowly emerging from his sheath to hang down between his legs.

'Maybe I could spare a few hours to watch them...'

A moment later they were interrupted as both children wondered into the kitchen and, upon seeing their father, dashed up to him with paws and wings outstretched.

'Dad! We went to the park!'

'And Luna met a boy and now she's in love!'

Aly let go of her husband and he turned to face them, towel still around his shoulders. Luna arrived first, throwing her wings around his waist and squeezing him tight, and then a second later Wynter was at her other side. Kyano was a tall zebra, about two foot more than Aly and another two more than the girls, which meant whenever they hugged him the were more just snuggling against his belly button. And since Wynter had taken up one side of him, Luna couldn't wrap her wings around both legs and instead had to opt for the next best thing, which was to curl around his big, thick cock, still hanging down deliciously between his legs.

'Luna, dear, leave your father alone. He's just woken up.'

'But he's all wet!'

'I had a shower', he explained with a grunt. Already he was hardening, a fact of which Luna was acutely aware. She squeezed him more fimly, the thick length still broadening, a drop of slick fluid hitting the floor.

'See?', Luna said happily as she looked up at her mom. 'Daddy's wide awake.'

Aly and Kyano exchanged a look--her husband one of question and her mother one of amusement. Luna had always been a frisky bird, who seemed to love giving others pleasure almost as much as she did receiving it. Wynter did too, for that matter, and though the lioness tended more toward feminine lovers, she loved her father so much her lust for his incestuous cock seemed to set her firmly in the realm of bisexuality.

By now Luna had given up all pretences of innocence, wrapping both wings around the thick, drooling dick and slowly sliding it up and down. He was nearly at full length now, though he still remained partly flaccid perhaps due to the position Luna was keeping it in. Her father let out a quiet moan, leaning back against the kitchen bench as his daughter kept stroking him, and Aly watched on in amusement as she ate her sandwich.

Her strokes were growing longer now, reaching down to the thick, flared head and then pulling up to the thicker base before working the whole process over again. With every stroke she bumped over the ridge at the centre of his cock, and he would let out a nicker as tingles descended down his back. Wynter, not wanting to be left out, had padded up beside her sister and was now playing with his balls, lolling them around in her paws and occasionally nuzzling them with her cute little nose. Now at its full size, nearly half the height of his daughters, he moved over to the couch and sat down with his legs spread so they could get to him easier. They crowded around his dick, nudging each other to the side as they took turns jacking him off, getting their paws and wings slick with the precum that drooled down his dick. He reached out and ruffled their hair and they nuzzled into him, and then Luna opened her beak and stuck out her tongue. It was small and slender and pretty much dwarfed by the size of his dick, yet it still felt heavenly as she lapped at the hot flesh of his pole. She ventured up high and stayed there, licking around the ridge of his cockhead and even on top of it. She rimmed the slick hole in the top, gathering his precum into her beak and swallowing it down between laps. Wynter, meanwhile, stayed low. Both paws outstretched could only barely wrap around his width, and she kept stroking him loyally and occasionally batting her paws gently against his balls.

They kept it up for several minutes, and despite Kyano's impressive stamina he was beginning to reach his edge. It had been a while since the girls had treated him like this, and Aly had been working late nights so by the time she got to bed she was exhausted. And so he let out a whinny when Luna stuck her tongue lightly in her hole, and a second later was gripping the couch tightly as a blast of cum shot straight out his throbbing cock. It splashed straight into Luna's face and she let out a noise of delight, falling back onto the lounge as another stream blasted into the air and rained down on top of the her. Wynter, not wanting to miss out, grabbed his cock and pulled it down which only made him cum even harder. She opened her maw wide, letting the jets coat her tongue, and when she closed her mouth to swallow it her cheeks were splashed with the stuff, her chin dripping and cum sliding through her fur down her shirt. When Kyano came, he came.

Luna took his cock back after that, letting the last few jets coat her beak and then licking it gratefully up. Kyano sat back with a heavy sigh, head spinning, and when Luna let go of his cock it flopped back obscenely onto him with a loud slap, strings of cum splattering over his legs.

Aly, sandwich now finished and cheeks a little flushed, pulled Wynter toward her and begun cleaning her face, licking away Kyano's thick cum and swallowing it down herself. 'Look at you three, you're all messy now. How you didn't get it all over the couch is anyone's guess.'

'I'm an expert', Kyano said weakly, his cock still leaking over his leg.

Next to him, Luna gently poked his shoulder. At first he waved her away, but after she insisted he gave her a tired smile and opened her arms. 'Alright, alright. I suppose you've earnt it. Here, let's get this off you first.' He took her cum-covered tank top in his hands and she obediently raised her wings. Already the stains were making the thin white fabric see-through, and he could make out the shape of her little pink nipples. They shone out from the surround her ruddy brown feathers, which were flattened around her breasts as if to draw attention to their fleshy beauty. He licked his lips and pulled her shirt off, and then she stood between his legs and he reached underneath her skirt and pulled down her panties. They were already damp, and his cock jumped as she lay down on top of lap, elbows resting on his knees and legs on either side of him. Her skirt was forced up, revealing the dripping-wet slit just begging for his attention.

He gently placed a finger between her sensitive lips, rubbing slowly along them as she let out a happy chirp and wrapped a wing around his arm. She was shivering as he fingered her, and before long he turned his hands so that he could rub his thumb over her clit while keeping up his rubbing. She moaned at the feeling, squirming on his lap and spreading her legs wider for him. She was wetter now, the slickess coating his fingers and making them a mixture of sticky and smooth. Kyano used it to his advantage, easing apart her cunt lips and pressing against her tight hole. She was well versed with her father by now, and could even take most of his massive cock, yet despite how incredible _that_felt she never grew tired of the feeling of him fingering her. She beamed up at him as he gently slipped into her, and then her expression became lust-glazed with her beak hanging open when he started pumping his fingers in and out of her.

With his other hand, Kyano gently rubbed her side, brushing against her soft feathers so that he could feel the delicateness of her body beneath them. She moaned again and he leant down, licking her cheek with his broad equine tongue and then gently kissing the top of her beak. She opened it up for him and he pushed his tongue inside, her own flicking against his as they exchanged saliva. He grinned and moved downward, kissing her breasts, massaging the soft flesh and flicking the hard nipple with his tongue. He bit down gently on it and she moaned in delight, and then he pulled away and removed his other hand from her pussy. She looked at him in annoyance for a second, until he begun lowering his muzzle between her legs. She moaned quietly in anticipation and lifted her hips up for him, her cute wedge-shaped tail brushing against his legs as he spread her lips with his fingers again and opened his mouth. He gave her the works, licking at her hole and then pushing his long tongue inside her, dragging it against her sensitive walls and then pulling out to focus on her clit. He flicked it, twisted it, sucked on it as he started fingering her again, even faster. Her pussy made wet schlks as he pumped two, three, and then four thick fingers deep into her, and she moaned louder with every thrust. He kept it up without break until she started to whine and shake her hips, and seconds later he was guiding her through her orgasms, slowing his licks and then pushing forward harder as she'd squeal in delight, until eventually it became too much, and she collapsed onto his lap.

Kyano wrapped her in a tight embrace, giving her forehead a little kiss as she snuggled up into him. She was still dripping, and her beak was still coated in his cum, but they could clean up later. For now, his adorable angel wanted to sleep, and he was more than willing to oblige.

He looked up to his wife just in time to see her raise her head from between Wynter's legs, muzzle coated in juice that she licked off with a smoky grin. Wynter was panting heavily, eyes rolled back in her head, and Kyano grinned. Aly was certainly an expert in oral pleasure. His dick twitched again at the thought, and Luna gently wiggled her butt against it in her sleep.

'Alright, let's get you two upstairs for a nap, hm? Aly whispered as she hefted her little lion into her arms. They were both much heavier than they used to be, or at least Wynter certainly was--being a bird, Luna had the benefit of partially hollow bones--but their parents were strong and managed them upstairs without too much trouble.

'On hindsight, I think this is a much more effective way of getting rid of their pent up energy', Kyano murmured and Aly rolled her eyes as they reached the landing.

'You can't just cum all over your daughters every time you want some peace and quiet. You gotta earn that privilege.'

'Can I just cum all over you then?'

'Do you really need to ask?' she said with a shake of her head, and they went into each girl's bedroom to lay them gently on the bed. 'Have a nice nap, darlings. But don't think this gets you out of doing the dishes tonight.' She flicked off the light and gently shut the door.

Outside, Kyano rubbed a hand slowly down his wife's lean arm. It was slender but strong and he could feel the hard muscle beneath, and despite his own size it was just slightly intimidating. He nuzzled her neck and murmured, 'So... about that offer...'

'Uh uh,' Aly smiled and pulled him into the guest room. She sat down on the bed and spread her legs, and without her jeans he was treated to the wonderful sight of her dripping wet cunt. 'You got your treat, and so did the kids. I think it's my turn.'

Kyano grinned and knelt down in front of her. 'Anything for you, my lioness.'

Based on a roleplay by Mekar and Arksong

**Note from author**

Hey! Hope ya enjoyed. Wanted to write some stuff, but it didn't really fit in the story description so I've just put it down here. If you're mid-fun and looking for more, no need to waste time on this. Instead try 'The Festival--Morning (NC)' for something similar, or any other story on my page :)

So, most of my other stories are long, slow and revolve around romance, because that's just the way I like to write. But I'm also eager to make shorter, more sex-based fics that aren't as concerned with character development. This is my first attempt at that, and I had fun with it (these also much quicker to write, which is nice), so hopefully it'll do the trick. Strictly this story is based on a much longer, on-going one, and in fact there's another whole part to it (the playdate at Alex's) which I've got the raw plot of and just need to write.

I'm really grateful that my commission have picked up even more, especially during this #current iffy time#, but I'm also trying to make sure to write stuff for myself too, to put on here for you guys to enjoy! (And hey, if ya need a storrrryyy~~~). So yeah, thanks for reading! I love this community, and am looking forward to writing more :D
