That night Iris was more than pleased with her new home. She couldn't stop smiling as she sat waiting patiently while Caspian prepared some rabbits for that night's feast.
"You seem especially happy today. I'm guessing the house is to your liking now?"
Iris's grin only grew bigger as she exclaimed,
"Yes, it finally feels like a home!"
Caspian felt his heart melt at how cute Iris looked when she was happy. If it could make her this happy, he would gladly do anything for her.
"Our home is certainly the nicest I've ever seen. The best in this entire mountain. Careful, or you might make the other females jealous."
Caspian had a twinkle in his eye as he said this last part, teasing his cute female. While Iris would normally be worried about such things, this time she instead felt inspired.
In the modern world, Iris was used to constantly having things to do. If it wasn't her college studies, it was her part-time job at the local museum. She'd often help with historical reenactments, fundraising dinners, and special events that the museum director arranged too.
Even when Iris wasn't hard at work, entertainment sources were abundant. Whether it was hobbies like foraging, cooking, reading, television, browsing the internet, or hanging out with friends; there was seldom a lack of things to do.
This beast world, in comparison, was extremely dull. If it weren't for preparing her new home for the cold season, most of Iris's days would be empty. While some downtime for resting was always nice, Iris did not want to be bored. So when she was reminded of how different the lives the rest of the tribe led, she began to have ideas.
"Does the Arctic Wolf Tribe not have weekly markets like the beast cities?"
Caspian shook his head and heaved a sigh.
"That's right, I promised to take you to the beast city, but we missed the one last week due to how busy we've been preparing the house. Luckily, there is still the last market before the cold season begins, so we'll go tomorrow."
Iris blinked her eyes in surprise. She had almost forgotten that Caspian promised to take her last week. Still, going tomorrow was great too, as she did still need salt and was curious about what else they would be selling!
"Alright, that sounds good to me! However, I was just thinking that I could do some arts and crafts with extra crafting materials over the winter. Then we could trade with our fellow tribesmen and they could enjoy nice things too."
Caspian looked like he was surprised at his female’s thinking. Usually, the males in a family do most of the labor and we're in charge of providing for the family. Females tended to not care about sharing the nice things they had with others, whether they would be traded fairly for or not.
"That isn't a bad idea, but you should teach me how to do these things. As your only male, it's my job to work harder to take good care of you."
Iris merely hummed, neither agreeing nor disagreeing. Caspian often tried to take over tasks from her, but she did not feel eager to give up what little entertainment she had. She did not wish to be reduced to a female who does nothing but wait in bed and be waited on hand and foot.
"Alright, well, these rabbits are ready to be cooked. Wait here while I go wash my hands and the pelts. I'll bring clean water for cooking back with me."
Iris merely waited for Caspian to be far enough away before taking the rabbit meat to the kitchen. She cut the rabbit into small cubes with a bone knife before skewering them onto some sticks. She then chopped some onion grass and garlic before putting it into a stone pestle with some mustard. Once it formed a paste, she rubbed it into the meat.
She rinsed her hands in a basin of water left in the small bathroom. Thankfully Iris had a primitive version of soap made from wood ashes and animal fat to wash her hands. One of the perks of the historical reenactments was that she had given a demonstration on how to make such soap before.
Not having a proper bathroom with toiletries was perhaps one of the hardest parts of living in the beast world. Luckily with some weaved grass, she had a sort of toilet paper while a stone pot functioned as a toilet. It would have to be emptied regularly but it allowed for a warmer and more comfortable place to go to the bathroom.
Plus, unlike if she did her business outside, Caspian wouldn't try to follow her. Yes, having that small amount of privacy was very much appreciated. If Iris thought hard about it she'd realize that Caspian's beast hearing would allow him to hear everything, but she preferred to pretend that wasn't the case.
By the time Caspian returned to the cave, Iris was halfway through cooking dinner. He set the pot of water down onto the stone stove with a grumble.
"I was going to cook dinner for us. Why didn't you wait for me to do it for you? What if you burned yourself?"
Iris knew this was a point of contention. However, Caspian just was not a very good cook. He was very mediocre with only one signature dish. He liked to make soup with meat, garlic, onion grass, and ginger. It was one of the first dishes she'd taught him to make as it was harder to burn the meat and it could easily be cooked longer if the meat was still raw.
"I didn't want soup tonight. I wanted something different. If we had more vegetables or grains, it might not be so bad but it's at least nice to have food not be in liquid form every time."
Caspian just sighed, patting Iris's head. He knew he should learn how to make more dishes to please his female, but his learning curve was just too much right now.
It would only be a few more days before the cold season began and he needed to preserve most of the prey he caught. He couldn't afford for it to all end up burnt or raw. While he'd still eat it to avoid waste, he didn't want his little female to suffer.
Still, when he saw his little female trying to remove her meat from the oven with chopsticks and struggling, he reached forward and removed it for her. After placing it on a plate, he handed it to her with a small smile. At least he could prevent her from burning herself even if he couldn't complete the whole task of cooking the meat.
"Thank you. You know, you don't have to feel bad. You know how to cook soup and you're great at crafting wood and stone furniture."
Caspian could tell the little female was trying to cheer him up and gave a warmer smile for her efforts. He'd just have to work harder to make up for his shortcomings. Even if he couldn't cook the food his mate wanted to eat, he'd be sure to support her in any way he could.
Rabbits were not nearly enough food to fill Caspian's stomach, as a male he could go several days without eating. Still, he couldn't help but watch how happily his little female ate her food. She looked positively adorable as she took big bites of meat, her cheeks puffing up like a squirrel as she ate.
Iris always enjoyed her food and ate with relish, which made him happy. Still, she was not nearly as thick as most females he'd seen. Instead, she had lovely curves and a full figure. At least she wasn't so skinny that he had to worry about her health. Yes, Caspian was quite happy with Iris's figure.
Once dinner was finished, Caspian scooped Iris up and carried her to their bed. While they had yet to mate yet, Caspian quite enjoyed sharing a bed. He always got to caress her soft skin and cuddle her close. For him it was the best way to fall asleep.
Feeling Caspian's hard thing pressing into her ass much like every other night, she couldn't help but squirm. There was good reason to call it being hard as it quite hurt to have it pressed so firmly against one's skin. Caspian might as well have been jabbing his finger into her side for all the difference it'd make.
Tonight, Iris had other ideas besides just simply laying still and ignoring it. Thus, she reached behind her and rubbed her soft skin against him. Caspian couldn't help but groan in pleasure.
"If you keep that up it'll be hard to control myself."
However, Iris was ready to take their relationship to the next step. Caspian had proven himself reliable and they were already living as a married couple anyhow. This was just one more benefit that she got to enjoy.
Thus, she squirmed until she was facing Caspian and brought her lips to his. She felt how hot and soft they felt against hers and she wanted more. She continued rubbing her hand against his cock as they deepened the kiss.
Caspian groaned in pleasure as he pressed himself closer to his little temptress. His body was easily bigger than hers and he couldn't help but feel the need to dominate her.
"Are you sure you want to do this Iris? If we mate, we will be forever tied to one another. I won't let you go, but I promise to always protect you and care for you."
Iris felt his words were sweet and they only made her surer. She gave a breathless and small "yes" in reply.
Caspian needed no more convincing as he recaptured his lips with his. He wanted to explore every inch of her as he let his hands wander.
As he went to stick two fingers inside of her to see if she was ready for him, he found it difficult to do so. It seemed she was not nearly wet enough for him yet. Thus, he lowered his head and lapped at her slowly.
Iris couldn't keep a low moan from escaping her throat. This only egged Caspian on as he continued to pleasure his little female. Who knew that beast men could be so capable of pleasing their mates?
Caspian did not let the little female go, as he held her thighs open, until she came and coated his face in her juices. Happy that he could thoroughly take care of his female, he licked his face as he sat up. Looking at the scene of Iris panting heavily with her hair scattered around her, he couldn't help but smile.
He knew she was more than ready now. Thus, he brought his cock closer to his opening, rubbing it along her clit to bring just a bit more pleasure before finally pushing into her.
Caspian groaned a deep and guttural sound escaping his lips. His little female felt so good. Iris couldn't help mewling like a little kitten as she felt so full. She wrapped her arms around Caspian's neck, holding him close as he rocked his hips.
Before long Caspian released inside of her and pulled out. He held Iris in his arms as they both lay happily cuddling into one another. They were now officially mates.
