Threesome

Between a Fox and a Hard Place #1

by Misa Izanaki

Aoi is an exotic dancer and an elf, with a kitsune lover, which makes his life pretty unique to begin with. When Itsuke, Aoi's lover, returns from a business trip, he and Aoi decide they need some time alone, but problems arise in the form of Aya, a young man who claims Aoi is his father. Aoi knows he can't possibly be the young man's father, but he feels sorry for the kid, so he and Itsuke take Aya in. While the three of them explore their new relationship, Aoi's actual family shows up, insisting that he follow the path they've chosen for him. Can Itsuke and Aya help Aoi say no?

In a futuristic world where shapeshifter are living among humans apparently without problem, Aoi is an elf, former whore and now stripper. He chose to leave his previous career after meeting Itsuki, a werefox, better a kitsune, a japan mythological figure, who can shift in a fox, but also when he is in human form he maintains the ears and the tail of a fox.

Itsuki is a big man with basic needs: eat and sex. All the world outside can fall down, but don't try to prevent him in pursuing his scope. Itsuki grew up in a very accepting and big family and so he has no problem to open his home (and bed) also to Aya. Aya is arrived searching his father and believing that Aoi was him. But the time weren't right, Aoi can't be Aya's father: true, he loved Aya's mother, but many years before Aya's birth.

Still, even if Aoi is not a fatherly figure, and he also doesn't want to be one, he feels responsible for the boy and decides to take him in. At first he doesn't think it will be a literally "taking", but more days pass and more the attraction between Aoi and Aya is strong, and since Itsuki is not against the idea to have two pretty boy as live in lovers... the duo becomes a threesome. All perfect until Aoi's family arrives to throw water on the fire.

This is the first chapter in a continuing series about the elf Aoi and his kitsune lover Itsuki. Misa Izanaki is not new to mingle Japan myths and western fantasies, I liked very much My One and Oni, and since that one was also longer, I felt it complete. In this case instead I'm happy to have just ready the second chapter to read, since many points are still open and I would haven't enough patience to wait to much.

Short but very sweet novella set in futuristic world where old Japanese myths are peeking in to the plot line and giving whole thing exotic taste, which is not that bad. Aoi was elf who earned his money by whoring himself until he met handsome kitsune (werefox, shape shifter)Itsuki, who made Aoi in to the respectable man aka Aoi stopped whoring himself and started to work as stripper in the strip bar. Both their lives changed a great deal when young half elven appeared. Aya thought that Aoi was his father, when things cleared up and there was no family connection between Aoi and Aya. Itsuki gained twice more elven happiness in his bed. This short story is full of steamy sex, nice plot line which is not bothering and is refreshing. Aoi had some past and very powerful family who wanted him to take even more respectable life, but well Aoi stayed where he was and with whom he loved.
