Burning Desire

This is very very loosely based on the Valentine's Day art from earlier this month :)

A part of her didn't want to believe it.

Nicole fidgeted where she sat on her girlfriend's couch, trimmed nails scratching the base of her palms.  A little over four years together and they still lived apart.  They started dating in their freshman year of college - two small town girls from different parts of the state, excited and terrified at the idea of being so far from home.

"Just friends," Nicole said before laughing quietly.  Months passed before she realized her own feelings for Danielle.  Feelings that were more than admiration.  Deeper than respect and far more complicated than a platonic love.

She'd struggled with the shame of feeling attracted to the other girl until, sitting in her dorm one evening, tipsy, leaning against Danielle, her lips moved on their own - 'I think I love you.'  Quiet, vulnerable words spoken in near silence.

Rather than answer, Danielle had bent to kiss Nicole's forehead, lingering a heartbeat too long.  Nicole had closed her eyes to it, accepting the pacifying gesture while beginning to build the wall around her emotions.

Warm breath had moved and Danielle's lips touched Nicole's cheek.  Again, tracing a light touch against her smooth, freckled skin until goosebumps rose on her back.  A hand against her neck, thumb moving to stroke her nape beneath Nicole's curly brown hair.

Dry lips kissed the corner of Nicole's mouth.  Hesitant.  A tentative test.  Fingers tightened in Nicole's hair while Danielle licked her lips.  Firm fist turning the other girl's head.  Nicole's eyelids fluttered open to see tears in Danielle's eyes a half second before the girl bent to kiss her on the lips.

"Oh," Nicole had said.  Her mind was blank.  Her heart swelled within her chest as she reached up to touch her lips.  The wine cooler she'd been drinking fell from her nerveless fingers, spilling into the carpet beside them.  Forgotten.  She reached up and around, one hand caressing Danielle's back while the other slid through the girl's blonde hair.

Leaning into her, pressing her down onto her back amidst the scattered pillows.  Kissing her.  Lips parting with Danielle's muffled moans sending a thrill down her spine as their tongues touched.

They were awkward that night and the days that followed.  Exploring something new together.  Awkward but enthusiastic and utterly giddy at the feelings that seemed to explode past the fragile restraints they'd both placed on themselves.

Their one 'fight' - an argument with slightly raised voices and high emotions - was over moving in together near the end of their second year of college.  Danielle refused and wouldn't give a reason other than needing her own space. Despite that, they spent nearly every day and night together.

Nearly every night.  Seven or eight nights a month, all random days, Danielle would make excuses and spend the day alone, often skipping classes at the same time.  The reasons varied but often fell back to her not feeling well and, over time, Nicole began to fear the worse.  Cancer or some other illness.  Something terrible enough that Danielle was too scared to share.

Eight months ago, when they'd graduated and began looking at apartments, she'd finally reached her limit.  She knew Danielle loved her deeply and she felt the same.  She wanted to spend the rest of her life with the other woman.  She'd had thoughts of proposing even though neither of their families knew they were dating.  At this point, she'd rather take a chance at alienating all of them than live without her girlfriend.

Nicole closed her eyes.  She breathed out slowly while hugging a blanket against her body.

The eventual conversation with Danielle had not gone how she'd expected.  There'd been no ultimatum, but she'd made it very clear that their relationship would become damaged if she didn't share what was keeping them apart.  She just hadn't expected to hear 'I'm a dog' when Danielle, her head bowed with her hair hiding her face, finally spoke.

After a heavily pregnant pause that never gave birth to a clarifying answer, Nicole had asked what she'd meant.  Ideas popped up in her mind, only to be discarded.  Nothing seemed to quite make sense and it only got worse when Danielle told her that she physically changed into a dog-like creature.

She'd asked, after hesitating, whether it was a furry thing.  Her mind couldn't grasp that her girlfriend would've hidden something like that from her for years but, again, nothing else made sense.

Only Danielle had answered that, no, she physically grew fur and a tail and everything.

'You turn into a dog.' Nicole had said, her voice blunt and unbelieving.

No - a human-like dog.  Two legs but fur, a tail, paw pads and other things.  The next five minutes were a back-and-forth to see if Danielle was fucking with her that only ended when Nicole noticed real pain in the other woman's eyes.  She'd hugged her and held her as she tried to figure out what to do next.  Rather, how best to bring up speaking to a mental health professional.  At least until Danielle had quietly told her, as if picking up on her thoughts, that she wasn't crazy.

'Can you show me?' she had asked.  Danielle had begged for time. She'd never shown anyone.  It'd been hell to hide it from her parents and friends when it manifested early in high school and she hated what it did to her.  How it made her look.  And feel.

"Time," Nicole said before turning to look over the edge of the couch towards her girlfriend's bedroom door.

It was Valentine's Day.  Nicole had made reservations two months ago for a quiet dinner at a nice restaurant for both of them.  That morning she woke to her girlfriend sitting on the edge of the bed.  When asked what was wrong, she was told that it was a bad day and she needed to be alone.

The mood shifted quickly.  Nicole had to fight back her sudden anger.  She knew her girlfriend wasn't malicious. The other woman had been looking forward to their evening just as much as she had.

'I can't keep doing this, Dani,' she'd told her.  'I love you so fucking much, but I just can't keep-'

'I'll show you,' Danielle had said.  'Tonight.  I'll do it.  I'll do it this time. Tonight.  I can't keep this part of me away from  you.  I- I want to- I want to marry you and I can't, I can't do that without you seeing this.  Without- without you accepting this.  Or not and giving me up.  I'm sorry.  I'm so sorry.'

They had cuddled and talked for an hour before starting their day.   A little over thirty minutes ago, Danielle had told her it was time before heading into the bedroom and closing the door.  She would call her in when she was ready.

'I want to marry you...' still echoed through her mind. She hadn't touched on it after it was brought up but, despite what was happening, the memory of the words filled her with joy when she thought back to it.

Dread swirled in the pit of Nicole's stomach.  She was terrified at what she would see, fully expecting to see her girlfriend in a manic episode, crawling around on her bed while barking like a dog.  She planned to take videos so that when it passed, she could use it to convince her girlfriend to see... whatever professional would be the right one for this particular type of issue.

They would work past it together.

"I'm- I'm ready!" Danielle called out.  "It's time!"

Nicole inhaled slowly until her lungs were full.  She exhaled and grabbed her phone from the arm of the couch.  Butterflies somersaulted in her belly when she reached the door.  Another deep breath helped steady her as she turned the doorknob.  With a solid push, she stepped inside.

Just as she feared, her girlfriend was still human.  Danielle was wrapped in a blanket up to her waist with her blonde hair loose past her shoulders.  Naked, apparently, but for her bra.

The only noticeable difference was the bright red in the girl's pale cheeks, mirrored by the mottled scarlet creeping down her throat. The woman was breathing quickly, her chest rising and falling as if she were on the verge of hyperventilating.

"Nothing's-" Nicole started to say.  She gripped her phone, ready to record as soon as her girlfriend began acting out.

Danielle swallowed hard.  Her teeth clenched and Nicole heard a rough rumbling growl.  Just as she began to ready her phone, Danielle pulled the blanket away.

Instead of lifting her phone to record, Nicole frowned, glancing down at her girlfriend's panties and then back at her face.

"You're going to have to help me out here," Nicole told her.

Danielle reached down while spreading her legs.  Blonde hairs radiated away from the seat of her panties.  Her fingernails traced down her inner thighs to show more scattered strands.

"I shaved yesterday," she said.  Shyly, looking away, she continued.  "You- you remember."

Nicole's eyes narrowed.  They'd had sex last night and she could remember how smooth her girlfriend had been.

"Still," Nicole said.

"Sit by me," Danielle told her while patting the edge of the bed.  When she did, Danielle took Nicole's hand.

"Whoa," Danielle said, snatching her hand away.  She raised it, instead, to her girlfriend's forehead and then down to her cheeks.  "You're burning up, Dani."

"I- I know.  It-" the girl's lips quivered and now the growl was more pronounced.  "That always happens.  I-"

Nicole cocked her head in shock when the other girl twisted suddenly while digging her nails into the bed.  She moaned with her head turned away.  Her heels pressed into the mattress while her thighs rubbed together.  When the fit passed, she licked her lips.

In the mounting silence, stunned by her girlfriend's display, a smell wafted to Nicole's nose.  She glanced down to stare at her girlfriend's crotch.

At the translucent wetness soaking into the seat of the woman's white panties.

At the thick curly blonde fur covering the crease where her thighs met her hips.

"No," Nicole whispered.  "No fucking way."

A high pitched whine made Nicole look back at her girlfriend.  The woman's nostrils were ringed by speckled gray, curling around her nose and down to the groove between her nose and mouth.

Danielle's canines, flush with the surrounding teeth, were moving, lengthening slowly past the surrounding incisors and premolars while the woman's soft, pink lips began to darken.

Unable to help herself, Nicole reached up to touch the teeth, cupping her hands against Danielle's jaw.  The other woman's tongue lashed out to lick Nicole's thumbs twice before she whined and pulled it back into her mouth. Thick slobber dribbled down Nicole's hands.

"S- s- sorry," Danielle said.  She nuzzled against Nicole's left hand before taking the girl's wrist gently in her own hand to pull it away.  "I- I can't help- It gets hard to think straight when it happens. I- I can feel it changing me.  Changing my mind.  Merging into me.  New- new urges. New desires.  New-"

"Dani," Nicole said firmly.

Danielle looked down to where she was guiding Nicole's hand down to her panties.  She yelped and immediately let go.

"Sorry," the girl said before whining once more.  "I- I can't help- can't help myself.  I'm- I'm burning up, Nicole."

"I know, I felt-"

"No.  No.  I'm.  I'm in heat.  Nicole, you don't- you don't know what it's like," Danielle growled.  "You don't know.  God, you don't know.  I drown in it.  It burns my brain until- until nothing else makes sense except-"

Another growl and she pulled into herself.  Shuddering.

Nicole reached her hand out to place it on the woman's shoulder.  "Until what, Dani?"

Danielle unfolded and bent forward. She licked Nicole's face.  Her tongue widened with every stroke as excess drool dripped freely.  The tongue slid across Nicole's lips before folding and pressing into Nicole's mouth to lick inside.  A half second later, she growled and pressed her black lips against Nicole's mouth to kiss her deeply.

Fur scratched Nicole's chin and cheeks.  Danielle's hand gripped her once more. It was fleshier now, swollen over the palm and fingers until she couldn't close it completely into a fist.  As the woman pulled her girlfriend's hand down once more, Nicole felt the prick of sharp nails scratching her skin.  Folding nails thickened into claws that scraped Nicole's wrist when they grew out.

Before Nicole could pull away, she felt warmth, followed immediately but completely soaked fabric and wet, curly fur.  Danielle whined, breaking the kiss to bow her head.  Panting with her elongated tongue dangling down. Drool hung from the tip.

Danielle's ears distracted Nicole. She could feel her girlfriend using her hand to rub her crotch but the need to take her hand back vanished as she stared at the delicate skin unfolding around the edge of the other woman's ears. The tips stretched outward before flopping and she gasped as she watched tiny little blonde hairs pierce the skin.

"You- you- you should goooo," Danielle said.  Despite her words, she gripped Nicole's wrist tightly as her padding continued to fill out.

"I'm staying, Dani," Nicole said as she carefully retrieved her hand.  It was coated in her girlfriend's creamy white cum and the panties themselves were pushed aside.  "I'm here to help you through-"

Danielle growled and twisted, reaching around to tug and pull at her bra.  Her claws tore at the band.

"Off, I need it off.  Off," Danielle said, growling until Nicole pinched the clasps to undo them.  Danielle went to her knees, shaking her upper body like a dog until the straps slid off of her arms.  "Better.  Thank you.  I- I don't normally wear anything when... it just feels itchy and wrong and-"

"Dani," Nicole said gently.  She reached down to take her girlfriend's hands away from her panties.

"It's itchy, Nikki," Danielle said.  She whined and twisted and reached for her panties again.  "Too hot and itchy.  Please, Nikki. Please."

"I-"

Fur crept from beneath the band of the panties, spreading over Danielle's pronounced mound.  And up.  Nicole watched, mesmerized as the hairs sprouted from the woman's taut belly.  So densely packed in a line slowly reaching towards her belly.

Dark spots drew her attention.

"Oh," Nicole gasped, suddenly realizing what they were by their placement and count.

"Can I kiss you again?" Danielle asked.  The girl twisted on her back while whining. Her hands stroked the fur growing on her belly while her fingers circled the swelling spots and she whined louder.  "Nikki, can I?  Nikki?  Please?  Can I?  Kiss you, can I?"

The smell of her girlfriend's pussy was stronger. It swirled into Nicole's nose and she swayed, touching her temple while blinking slowly.  Her lips parted, partially slack as she looked down to see her girlfriend's torn panties dangling around her thigh.

A slow warmth began to grow low in Nicole's belly.  The girl shivered and rubbed her arms while pressing her legs together.  She could feel her heartbeat echoing between her thighs as the warmth spread.

The blonde fur surrounding Danielle's pussy and covering her inner thighs was dark with the slick cum coating her labia.  Labia that was swollen and puffy and dotted by slick, curling hairs as fur began to overwhelm the reddened flesh.  Nicole moaned and licked her lips while reaching for her throat.  Further to her mouth, touching a finger to the soft, upturned curve of her bottom lip.

Static roared in her ears.  She felt tipsy.  Drunk off of the heady smell of sex filling the room.  Her girlfriend's inner lips clenched before relaxing to show the pink within.  And clenched again.  Those thin, delicate lips - lips she'd eagerly sucked on so many times - were thicker and more pronounced than she could remember.

Nicole slid from the bed. She walked around, placing her hand on Danielle's belly, unintentionally flicking one of the woman's teats before clawing her nails through the woman's belly fur and down to her leg.  Danielle moaned and twisted in response before eagerly spreading her legs as Nicole knelt before her.

In return, Nicole wrapped her arms around Danielle's legs, lifting her hips slightly from the bed to show the nearly hairless stump of Danielle's tail wiggling beneath her.

"Amazing," Nicole gasped, staring at the lumpy limb in shock as it jolted forward, skin stretching around a new vertebrae while hairs lengthened in scattered clumps.  A different motion caused her to look up.

The hood around Danielle's clit, almost hidden beneath curls of blonde fur, was growing, gathering skin and causing the surrounding fur to lift as it overwhelmed the clit, hiding it and forcing it down until it jutted over her inner labia.

Nicole leaned in, hypnotized by the sight.  She moaned as she inhaled deeply and Danielle growled when Nicole exhaled, her hot breath swirling through fur to the skin beneath.

Her lips touched the strange hooded clit.  She pushed forward, taking it into her mouth as if it were a tiny cock, pressing her tongue into the base of it, trapping the hidden clit against the top of her mouth.  Danielle trashed on the bed as Nicole's tongue rubbed back and forth along the swollen hood.  She bobbed against it while bringing her right hand around to slip a finger into the waiting slick pussy.  Muscles clenched against her fingers.

"I'm!  I'm!  I'm!  I'm! IIIIOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWL!" Danielle howled, bucking and shoving her pussy into Nicole's face.  With her ass lifted, her short tail thumped against the bed until she collapsed, trembling erratically while the orgasm washed over her, waves of aftershocks crashing through her core.

Her face covered in her girlfriend's cum, Nicole pursed her lips and sucked, holding the hood in tightly while sliding off.  Danielle barked and tore at her mattress before lying still with her tongue hanging from the corner of her mouth.

Nicole closed her eyes and nuzzled against the woman's pussy, rubbing the bridge of her nose into the clit and then down between the top folds of the inner lips.  Her tongue slid out, slipping just between the slick pussy lips before pushing through to the pink within.  She kneaded her girlfriend's furred thighs as she licked but slowed when she felt the pussy shifting against her mouth.

The thin inner lips began to fill out, trapping Nicole's tongue with a gentle pressure. She licked their length, dragging her thin tongue over the pussy lips when they formed a rounded mound.  Up up up to the jutting hood only to feel it being pulled downward.  She teased it gently with her teeth and tongue and Danielle snarled from a sharp, sudden orgasm.  The clit folded, tucking downward to join with the rolling inner lips.

Nicole opened her mouth to take the pussy and hood completely into her mouth.  She felt it sliding as it pushed outward, cum-slick lips gliding against the flesh inside her cheeks.  Her tongue flexed against it, pushing into the tight new slit in the middle of her girlfriend's pink spade until she forced it open.  Danielle howled in return, long ears canted at an angle with her lengthening muzzle open, showing her curving, cracking fangs growing in the gaps of her gums.

It took pressure to force a single finger into the strange new pussy and the muscles within gripped her greedily.  But she popped out when Danielle clawed herself up into a sitting position.

"Me.  Me.  Me," the woman panted, licking her lips sloppily with her broad, long tongue.  "My.  My turn.  Lay.  Lay down.  Nikki, lay down."

Nicole crawled onto the bed.  The room spun slowly above her.  She ran her fingers through her hair as Danielle took her place at the foot of the bed.  Claws dug into her skin, followed by a rough, growling, rasping, needy 'sorry' when Danielle dragged her pajamas away, and the panties beneath.

Danielle's paws gripped Nicole's hands, fingers clenched together.  Her whining voice was right next to Nicole's ear.  "Can smell you.  So wet, Nikki.  I like it.  I like how wet you are.  I like your smell.  Smell so good, Nikki.  So good.  So wet."

Before she could reply, Danielle's thick, slobber-coated tongue lapped against her chin and cheek and mouth and nose, cleaning her with loud 'schlop' sounds before shoving her tongue into her mouth to kiss her again. Nicole wrapped her arms and legs around her girlfriend.  Her hands stroked the woman's furry back while Danielle's tail slammed back and forth from one of Nicole's shins to the other.

Finally, Danielle slid down, leaving loose blonde fur over Nicole's body until Danielle was between her girlfriend's thighs.  One thick finger stroked her own pussy as she bent to flatten her broad tongue against Nicole's glistening lips.

"Fuck!  FUUUCK!" Nicole yelled when her girlfriend's rough tongue lapped against her.  The other woman worked with a furious, animalistic passion, growling as she licked with her dark claws pressing into Nicole's sensitive skin.  "Oh fuck, Dani, fuck oh fuck that feels so amazing so good oooooooh shit I'm gonna- I'm gonna- don't stop don't stop don't- !"

Nicole's mouth flew open. Her head slid back and she bucked as she came, worked up by going down on her girlfriend with her own clit swollen and free of its hood.  Danielle's tongue pressed against Nicole's pussy, forcing itself into her, deeper than she'd ever been before.  Flexing and wriggling inside. Nicole gripped the sheets beneath her. Cords stood out on her own reddened neck. She gasped and wheezed.  Her hips worked as if thrusting against a dildo held inside of her.  She could feel the occasional press of her girlfriend's cold, pebbled nose against her clit and it drove her wild.

Her second orgasm was harder than the first and her vision dimmed while bright little lights exploded.

Oh no, she thought to herself as she wrapped her thighs around her girlfriend's head.  The soft fur only served to stroke her skin as if being teased by a thousand feathers.  Overwhelmed by her arousal and orgasms, it was almost enough to send her over the edge once more.  Oh no.  It's so good.  It's so fucking good.

"I love you," Nicole said before bowing her back and pulling her girlfriend's muzzle against her crotch with her legs.  "Danielle, I love you.  God, I love you!  GOD!"

They continued through the night, swapping positions, adding toys and enjoying each other until collapsing on the bed, cuddled together with Danielle's fur warming Nicole's bare skin.  Floating on the blissful waves rippling through their bodies.
