Blood & Chlorophyll Ch. 16

With the benefit of hindsight, Tabitha taking them to a strip club was hardly surprising. The confusing aspect of this trip was that she’d promised an end to Katrina’s mana problem, and there was still no sign of how they would accomplish that by watching scantily clad burlesque performers.

The main floor of The Scarlet Showcase had been especially tough for Katrina. She’d been quite successful at avoiding other people for a couple years now, and even when crowds were unavoidable, they’d often been rather tame. People riding the train or waiting in line at a hospital were hardly a very excitable crowd, which had been one of the very few elements working in her favor.

She’d learned very early that blood was far more complex than most people thought. While she didn’t understand the science behind it, and she suspected it was due to the thaumic energy that flowed through every living being, blood was able to take on thousands of infinitely subtle flavors depending on the emotions of its supplier. Fear, aggression, terror, panic, excitement, all of them had their own flavor profile, and the tastes always blended together perfectly. This was yet another reason why Kat had always been scared of her own instincts; she understood just how easy it would be to grow addicted.

Katrina had always tried to hunt as responsibly as she could, and she often did so by seducing her targets. Yes, the sex had been exciting, but arousal had quickly become one of her favorite flavor profiles. The thrill of biting into someone at the moment of climax, feeling their arousal blend together with fear and panic; Katrina hated how much she missed it.

Visiting a strip club, a place dedicated to fostering excitement and arousal, was no easy task for her.

The main floor, and the performance of the Jorugumo, had been especially taxing. Not only were large portions of the audience considerably attracted to the performer, but her uniquely terrifying visage had also inspired a healthy helping of fear, and the smell had nearly overwhelmed Katrina once or twice. Thankfully, Alicia’s presence was making this trip easier, and Kat had tried to focus on the Dryad’s innocent excitement.

Thankfully, they hadn’t lingered long. Stepping into their private room was a breath of fresh air, almost literally. Katrina could smell that the room had been empty for several hours before their arrival, and for that she was grateful.

Now, with only three people in the room, it was much easier to focus. Alicia was a Dryad, and her potential arousal wouldn’t be an issue, and Katrina obviously didn’t care about her own blood. The focus of Kat’s attention, in more ways than one, was Alouette; the nine-foot-tall Amazon that was now beginning to dance for the two of them. Not only could Katrina smell the blood pumping in her veins, but she was also finding it difficult not to let her eyes roam over the voluptuous body now on display for them.

Thankfully, Alicia had agreed that they could both enjoy the view as much as they wanted.

Alouette’s dance started slowly. With one hand on the pole, she walked in time with the music for several beats before letting her body join in the fun. She flexed her incredibly strong shoulders, holding tight as she started spinning, her legs appearing to walk as she floated through the air.

All of the dancer’s movements appeared effortless, which Kat knew was a sign that Alouette was ridiculously talented. Her body seemed to have no regard for gravity, and she was able to suspend herself any way she wanted as she moved with and around the pole. Kat now understood why this room needed a more heavily reinforced pole and higher ceilings; no doubt Alouette’s performance would be nigh impossible on a standard setup.

The Amazon’s red sequined outfit sparkled in the dim club lighting, and Kat wondered where the polite place to look would be. The outfit seemed designed to attract attention, and she knew the point of these establishments was to titillate, but she still felt awkward about staring.

Her train of thought was broken when Alouette spoke up. “Alright, girls, I think I’m all finished with my warmup. Now, based on Tab’s description, I think I already know the answer, but which one of you is Katrina?”

“U-um, that would be me,” Kat said quietly. “What exactly did Tab tell you?”

“Oh, practically nothing,” Alouette said with a smirk. She was currently suspended upside down, her powerful legs clinging to the pole. “She’s certainly got a flair for the dramatic, doesn’t she? I’ll bet you’re just as in the dark as I am.”

Out of the corner of her eye, Kat saw Alicia nodding slowly. “She told us to dress up, and that was it.”

A powerful laugh filled the room as Alouette continued her dance, swinging around until she was upright again. “I certainly appreciate you putting in the effort, even if you didn’t know what it was for. And, since Tab didn’t give you any information, I guess that job falls to me. You see, she told me you were having some mana problems, and that’s something I’m uniquely qualified to help you with.”

Alouette lowered herself to the floor, angling away from the girls as she presented her toned backside. Her hips rolled back and forth, accentuating her dexterous physique, before she continued speaking. “You see, I’m a Bard. However, unlike most others of my Class, my Inspiration doesn’t work on Attributes.”

Kat’s eyes went wide as she finally figured it out. “Wait, you’re a Regen Bard?”

“Oh, you’re already familiar!”

“I’m more than familiar; I’m a Regen Bard myself,” Kat said. “I didn’t think there were any others nearby.”

“I thought the same, until just now.” Alouette released her hold on the pole, then turned to the girls and started walking closer. Each step was soft and elegant, and her body continued pulsing with the music as she moved. “We just might be the only two in Chicago! Now, I have to ask, what’s your performance of choice?”

“Guitar, though I prefer classical, and I didn’t bring it with me.” Kat spoke out of habit, and only realized after that Alouette likely wasn’t about to ask for a performance. “What about you? I don’t fully understand how I’m getting your Inspiration right now.”

With another step, Alouette closed the distance, and now stood directly in front of the couch. Katrina had to crane her neck just to attempt to look the dancer in the eyes, but she also noticed that Alicia wasn’t even trying. The Dryad seemed completely lost in Alouette’s body, her eyes glued to the muscles and curves on display just a foot away from her.

Alouette stepped up, placing one leg just beside Alicia. She licked her lips slowly, then leaned forward, putting her ample cleavage on full display as she leaned towards the awestruck Dryad. “My Inspiration doesn’t come from music, love, it comes from dance. That means, whatever happens in here…”

The dancer pivoted closer to Katrina, placing a hand on the wall just above the Vampire’s head. “Don’t.”

She leaned closer, her breasts glistening in the pulsing light. “Look.”

Her lips stopped just shy of touching Kat’s ear, and then she whispered, “Away.”

Kat swallowed nervously, completely unable to maintain conversation any longer. Alouette’s sheer beauty was overwhelming her, but her proximity also made Kat fully aware of the blood pumping just beneath her skin. Thankfully, the dancer pulled away soon after she finished whispering, and Kat was able to collect herself.

Alouette’s hands slowly returned to her own body, tracing up and down her curves, before she repeated a similar maneuver with Alicia. The poor Dryad seemed completely stunned, she hadn’t said a word since the dance started, and Kat immediately remembered just how sudden this must be for her. When they’d met, Kat had been the first person Alicia had seen for years. Kat was keenly aware of the effect she had on Alicia, but she’d also purposely avoided anything approaching this level of sexuality.

When Alouette spoke up again, her attention was now focused on Alicia. “So, what about you, love? Just along for the ride with your girlfriend?”

Alicia opened her mouth but couldn’t seem to find anything to say. “Uh…”

“Aww, poor girl. I’m not being too forward, am I?” Alouette asked Katrina.

“She’s just, well, both of us have never really done this before. I think we’re both a little at a loss of how to compose ourselves.”

“You don’t have to do anything but watch, that’s sort of the whole point!” Alouette said, winking. She spun around quickly, then sat herself in between both girls on the couch. Her legs spread wide, over the laps to her left and right, and she leaned forward before playfully running her hands up the insides of her legs. “Now, did I hear something about lap dances earlier?”

As Alouette had moved closer again, the smell of her blood returned. Katrina was now split off from Alicia, and her fingers dug into the couch as she tried to hold herself together. “Um, Miss Alouette, I promise I mean no disrespect, but I think it would be best if you avoid that kind of proximity with me. Status thing.”

“Say no more, I’m here to entertain, not inflame.” Alouette’s leg quickly moved off Kat’s lap, then she planted her knee on the other side of Alicia. This meant, of course, that the dancer was now straddling Kat’s girlfriend.

Alicia’s eyes were wide, and Kat could tell she was happily panicking from the attention. As the conversation had paused, Alouette returned her full attention to her dance, the hypnotizing motion of her body entrancing both girls. The lights of the room continued to decorate and accentuate the dancer’s lithe body, and her impossibly fluid movements seemed to defy the normal restrictions of physical form.

With Alouette now further away, and a boundary firmly established, Katrina felt more comfortable relaxing. Now that she understood the point of this visit, the temptation to surrender herself to the sensual ambience of the night was palpable. She leaned back, resting her arms on the top of the couch, and happily scanned her eyes over the show in front of her.

Katrina watched as Alouette turned around, now facing away from Alicia while still straddling her. Her perfectly shaped backside was even more visible, the fabric covering it seemed to have retreated slightly. Alicia was blushing with such intensity that her hair had started to blossom, which made Katrina chuckle quietly to herself.

Laughter wasn’t the only reaction, however. As Alouette’s performance grew more personal, Katrina felt a heat building in her core, a primal instinct far more preferable than her usual thirst for blood. Her legs tensed, and she began to focus more on Alicia than the actual performance. The way her skin darkened as she blushed, the way she bit her lip while her eyes stayed glued to the dancer’s voluptuous curves. Katrina began to imagine what else might make the Dryad blush, and wishing she could be responsible for her girlfriend’s excited state.

Would Alicia quietly gasp if Katrina explored her body? Or would she be more vocal? Would she freeze up from the pleasure, or was there an animal inside, waiting to be unleashed?

Perhaps this strip club would prove more enjoyable than Katrina had initially thought.

It took another few minutes of dancing before she asked for a small change. “Alouette, if you don’t mind, could we possibly move the performance back a touch? I think we should give my poor girlfriend here a break.”

Alicia slowly nodded, her eyes wide, as the dancer laughed. “Oh, absolutely! You poor thing, you did so well, didn’t you?” Alouette said, playfully running a finger down Alicia’s shoulder. She stood up, making sure to showcase her form as she did, and returned to the pole in the center of the room.

Kat slid closer to Alicia, then reached up to gently encourage the Dryad to look at her. “Babe, you doing okay?”

Turning away from Alouette seemed to break the spell somewhat, and Alicia finally spoke her first words since the dance started. “Yeah, I’m… um… I’m really good. I think I like this place, Kat. Is that okay?”

Kat laughed, then pulled Alicia for a kiss. “That’s kind of the point, isn’t it?”

“I mean, I guess, but I don’t want—”

Kat cut her off by placing a finger on her lips. She turned Alicia’s head to look forward again, then leaned next to her ear and whispered, “I can’t wait to get home tonight. I can give you another show, if you want.”

Several more flowers blossomed in Alicia’s hair, and Kat couldn’t help but notice the Dryad was squeezing her legs together. Their lips met again, and this time they shared far more than a gentle kiss. They held each other’s necks as they pulled each other close, their tongues meeting. Their passionate embrace, however, was interrupted when Alouette cleared her throat.

“As much as I enjoy seeing two hot girls make out, I fear I should remind you that my inspiration only works if you’re watching.”

Summoning a Herculean amount of strength, Katrina found the will to pull away from her girlfriend. She laughed slightly, then laced her fingers between Alicia’s as she turned to look at the dancer once more. “Right, um, sorry about that.”

“Oh, believe me, I’m flattered,” Alouette said with a smirk.

“Out of curiosity,” Kat started, “how much time did Tab pay for? “

“Half an hour, but there was a promise that you two would be coming back regularly for the next few weeks. Sounds like you’ve got some big plans brewing!”

Surprisingly, Alicia spoke up next. “We’re actually going to be doing some delving. Did Tab not tell you anything?”

Alouette shook her head, among other things. “Nothing, other than you needing some help with your mana. I love her to death, but she really needs to stop seeing everything as a game.”

“She seems pretty serious about this, honestly,” Alicia said.

“Ah, let me rephrase that. I meant game in the political, life-or-death sense. She needs to hold all the cards, she needs to have the advantage, she needs to take control of the board as early as possible. I swear, sometimes she’s too paranoid for her own good. Though, um, maybe don’t tell her I said that, ‘kay? I honestly do care for her, and I’m excited to see whatever you two are cooking up with her.”

“She agreed to help us tackle the newest Key Dungeon, as a matter of fact.” Kat shifted closer to Alicia, letting an arm drape across her shoulder.

“Dang, really? That must have been one heck of an argument you made. She’s been dodging Guilds for years. What, are you two going to help with her camming or something?”

“Nothing like that!” Kat said, blushing. “I mean, she’d love it if we did. No, we just earnestly asked for her help.”

“Well, keep her safe, alright? She’s a kind soul. Heck, maybe you can get her to lighten up a little. Convince her there’s more to life than outsmarting everyone she meets.”

Katrina felt a little strange having such an earnest conversation with someone who was currently being paid to show off her scantily clad body, but it all felt incredibly natural. If anything, the conversation made it easier to relax, and she appreciated not having to sit in a stew of intense arousal for the entire length of the dance. She also appreciated that Alouette was sharing information about Tab, who Kat was still trying to figure out.

The rest of their allotted half hour flew by in no time at all. By the end, even Alicia was starting to adjust to the overwhelming Charisma on display, and had felt more comfortable joining in with the conversation.

It was also obvious that the performance was having a significant effect on the happy couple. Katrina kept letting her hands wander to Alicia’s thighs, and the Dryad seemed eager to do the same. They made sure to avoid anything too intense, but it was obvious a spark had been lit.

Soon enough, it was time to leave. Alouette happily escorted them back out to the main floor, and even invited them to stay for a while, but the crowds proved too much for Katrina. They opted to instead wait outside, and asked Bruce to get a message to Tabitha. It only took a few more minutes before the Foxgirl joined them as well, a massive smile on her face.

“So? How was it?” Tabitha asked.

Alicia moved in and playfully slapped Tab’s arm. “You should have told us ahead of time! Ugh, I was so flustered, I could barely string a sentence together in there!”

“Oh, but you should have seen your faces when we first walked in! I had no idea there was a Jorugumo performing tonight, though, that was a nice surprise. Did Alouette treat you nicely? How’s your mana, Fangs?”

Oh, shoot, my mana. That’s why we came out here at all, I should check that.

A quick Status check showed that her mana was in considerably better shape. “Mana is actually looking pretty good! Alouette said that you were planning on us coming back here, though, is that true?”

“Uh, obviously,” Tab said. “If you crunch the numbers, paying for Regen dances with Alouette will get you way more mana than dumping that money into potions.”

“Well, as duplicitous as it was, I appreciate all the effort you’re putting into this, Tab.”

“It’s my life on the line too, don’t forget. I’ve got a great Class, but that doesn’t mean anything if I throw this chance away. Since you’re our only healer, we’ve got to do everything possible to keep you up and running, yeah?”

While Kat still had some conflicting feelings about Tab and her flamboyant behavior, it was hard to deny that the Foxgirl was following through on all her promises. Training was going very well, Alicia was learning a lot, and now she had a way to bolster her mana reserves for when they started delving. When coupled with the extra help Elias had promised, Kat was starting to feel quite optimistic about their delving expedition.

However, it was admittedly difficult to focus on delving when she was still swimming in arousal from Alouette’s teasing. The dance had been incredible, but Kat had been far more captivated by Alicia’s reaction to it.

She wanted Alicia’s eyes on her. She wanted to be the reason Alicia blushed, the reason she squirmed with excitement. She wanted to feel her skin against Alicia’s, to let her hands explore the Dryad’s body and discover what noises she could elicit. For the entire walk home, she was respectfully letting her hand rest on Alicia’s waist, and she desperately wanted to feel more.

The three girls managed to keep a conversation flowing for the journey home, and Katrina was thankful for the distraction. After Tabitha grabbed her things, she waved goodbye to start the journey home.

After watching Tab leave, as they started walking towards Alicia’s house, Kat spoke up. “So, um, how are you feeling? I’m still not entirely familiar with your sleep schedule.” She wondered what Alicia might be thinking about, and if the excitement from the strip club would be able to keep her awake later than usual.

“Honestly, I’m a little wired after all of that. I wouldn’t mind just a bit of us time. I’m still kinda baffled that I went to an actual, honest-to-goodness strip club!”

“Did you have fun?” Kat asked, holding the door open.

“I mean, yes, but fun also feels like the wrong word. Like it’s too innocent for what happens at a place like that.”

“Well, how about you go relax on the couch, and I’ll get us some water, okay? Plus, I have to actually change out of my clothes, I can’t just imagine I’m suddenly wearing pajamas and make it happen.”

Alicia giggled. “That’s fair, and that sounds nice.” The Dryad went to take a seat on the couch, leaving Katrina alone to her own devices.

Alright, Kat. You can do this.

Heading upstairs, Kat returned to Alicia’s room and began undressing. She hung her clothes back up, then glanced longingly at the full-length mirror hanging on the closet door. She knew it wouldn’t show anything and regretted that she had to use her phone for such things. After opening her camera, she propped it up on Alicia’s desk and began examining herself.

Her skin was as pale as ever, and she was wearing a simple set of red, lacy lingerie. The cherry red push-up bra accentuated her ample cleavage, and the matching bottoms sat high on her curvy hips. Although it wasn’t a thong, a significant portion of her butt was exposed, and she smirked as she spun around for herself.

For the first time in years, she felt good about her own sexuality, and proud of how she looked.

After shutting down her camera, she queued up a playlist of soft, intimate music. It had been strange putting together a playlist for something other than classical guitar, but she was excited to share it with Alicia. Butterflies fluttered in her stomach, and her face was frozen with a giddy smile while she started towards the staircase. She wanted to keep this a surprise and floated over the railing to stay quiet. She had almost rounded the corner to enter Alicia’s line of sight when she stopped herself, remembering that she had also promised to get a glass of water.

One hurried flight to the kitchen later, Katrina was ready. With a deep breath, she did her best to straighten her posture and strike a sexy pose, then walked into the living room.

Alicia was on the couch, her legs pulled underneath her, and wasn’t looking at the entryway. Her attention was focused on the plant she’d created for Katrina, which was currently sitting on the far end table. Her soft fingers were tracing over its leaves, and Kat swore she saw Alicia breathe more life into it as she watched.

“I got us some water, Alicia,” Kat said, leaning against the wall. She spoke softly, hoping to sound sexy and mysterious.

Her words drew the Dryad’s attention, and when she looked over, she gasped in surprise. Her eyes were wide as they traveled up and down Katrina’s body, and she attempted to speak several times before surrendering to silence.

Katrina began walking closer, doing her best to emulate the confidence she’d seen in the performance earlier. She was no stranger to people lusting after her, but the connection she shared with Alicia meant so much more. This was a relationship built on trust and openness, something Kat hadn’t had since the Change, and the moment was all the more exciting for it.

Standing in front of Alicia, Kat turned towards a side table and bent forward. She was technically putting down the glass of water, but it was also the perfect chance to tease Alicia with how skimpy her red lingerie was. When she finished, she climbed onto the couch, each knee on either side of Alicia, and settled in.

Now straddling the Dryad, Kat gently pushed her back. Their bodies met, then their lips, and Kat eagerly reached for Alicia’s waist. “You know, this might be a little difficult if you’re stunned with the surprise the whole time,” Kat said with a smirk.

Alicia swallowed nervously before meeting Katrina’s gaze. “Sorry, I just, you, um… Are you sure this is okay?”

“I promised you another dance when we got home, didn’t I?”

“I mean, yeah, but I didn’t want to assume! Maybe it was just something you said in the moment, or maybe Alouette’s presence was messing with your mind or something. You said before that high Charisma scores can—”

“Hey,” Kat said, cutting Alicia off by placing a finger on her lips. “I want this. I want you. Don’t overthink it, just enjoy yourself. Do what feels right.”

They stared at each in silence for a moment before Alicia spoke up again. “You’re really pretty, Kat. Like, insanely pretty.”

“Just pretty?” Kat said, a playful glint in her eyes.

“You’re hot, Kat. You’re so hot I don’t know what to do with myself around you. You’re not even naked and I can barely form a coherent sentence!”

Kat nudged Alicia’s chin to the side, then leaned forward to kiss her neck. “Alicia, you look just as amazing. I think you forget just how skimpy you normally dress, and I’ve been stealing glances ever since we started hanging out. I tried to wait because I was afraid of my own instincts, but I can’t fight how natural this feels.”

Alicia’s hands finally found Kat’s body. They wrapped around her shoulders, hugging her tight before starting to travel down her back. “And, um, how far do you want to…”

“All the way, Alicia. I want you,” Kat whispered. She playfully bit Alicia’s ear slightly, just hard enough to get a reaction. “I’m yours, Alicia, and I’m not just for show. Touch me, grab me, throw me around. I want to see what excites you. I want to see who you are when you’re not pretending to politely avert your eyes.”

“B-but how do I—”

“No questions, Alicia. Show me what you want, and I’ll speak up if you cross a line.”

Kat was now grinding against Alicia, the heat between her legs growing harder to ignore. She could feel her panties growing wet, and she briefly feared that she might be coming on too strong for Alicia. What if the Dryad was actually this nervous to her core? Kat had initially hoped she might be able to coax Alicia to let loose, to surrender to her passion, but she also didn’t want to make her legitimately uncomfortable.

Her fears were allayed seconds later. Something in Alicia seemed to shift, and her hands suddenly grew more bold. They left Katrina’s back and eagerly grabbed her pert backside, digging in deep. Their lips met once again, each kiss more passionate than the last, as Alicia’s breathing picked up. Katrina’s hands began exploring as well, though she had more difficulty as Alicia was still pinned to the couch. They moved to the Dryad’s neck, enjoying the feel of her skin, then began traveling down. Kat soon felt the familiar tickle of leaves and flowers, the material that made up Alicia’s dress, then immediately felt it begin to move.

As her hands rested on Alicia’s clothes, she felt them recede. They disappeared into Alicia’s body, replaced only by the soft warmth of her skin. Kat’s fingers followed the leaves as they vanished, a trail of foliage that drew her hands further down, and she found Alicia’s naked breasts. She wanted desperately to look, to see how beautiful Alicia was in the nude, but she seemed to be losing control of the situation.

Alicia’s lips had traveled to Kat’s neck, and she wasn’t content with simple kisses anymore. Kat gasped as her girlfriend sucked, licked, and bit her neck, the feeling more exhilarating than any embrace she’d had in years.

There was another shift, and Katrina felt Alicia trying to lift her up. She quickly bucked gravity’s hold on her, which let Alicia flip the two of them over. Kat fell softly on her back, settling on the couch before spreading her legs to give Alicia a spot. In the brief moment before Alicia fell forward, Kat finally got to see her girlfriend completely naked.

Dark freckles covered the Dryad’s body, her green skin softly reflected the pale moonlight as she kneeled over Katrina. Her nipples were dark and verdant, and they were already erect from the excitement of the moment. Kat followed Alicia’s curves down, lost in the splendor of her body, when she saw the hint of her sex between her legs. At this point, Alicia had already started falling forward, and Kat longed for her embrace more than she cared to try and steal a proper look.

Their legs intertwined, both girls now rubbed against each other in excitement. Alicia was already wet, and Kat made sure to position her leg to give something for the Dryad to rub against as she returned to exploring Kat’s body.

Alicia kissed Kat’s neck, then her collarbone, then kept moving further down until she’d found Katrina’s ample cleavage. Her hands joined in, squeezing Kat’s breasts over her bra, which caused the Vampire to gasp in pleasure. Her nipples were incredibly sensitive, even through the fabric, and she eagerly arched her back to silently ask for more. Alicia seemed to get the hint, or was at least as excited as Kat, and reached behind her back to undo her bra.

The first attempt failed, with Alicia’s fingers missing the clasp entirely. The second saw her pulling the wrong direction, and she began laughing in frustration. “Sorry, it’s been years since I’ve had to deal with bras!”

Kat leaned forward and kissed Alicia quickly before reaching behind her back to help out. “I hadn’t even thought about that until now. Let me just… there we go.”

Cool air met her exposed skin as her bra finally left her body. She tossed it to the side, her breasts completely naked, and she caught Alicia blushing in excitement again. Her green eyes were wide as she looked down at Kat’s body, but the moment quickly passed. She slid further down on the couch, her hands reaching for the Vampire’s bare chest, and her fingers dug in to explore. She was no longer being careful, and after only a moment of soft massage, she licked her lips and pulled one of Kat’s nipples into her mouth.

Electricity danced through Kat’s body, and she moaned again. She pushed her hands into Alicia’s hair, eagerly holding her tight as they continued to play with each other. The Dryad only played nice for several seconds before she began biting, no doubt testing if that was something Kat enjoyed, and the answer was a resounding, if somewhat unintelligible, yes.

Kat’s legs squeezed tight, her desperation growing by the second as she hoped Alicia would decide to give her release soon. “Alicia, please, I need more!”

With a quick laugh, Alicia pulled away from Kat’s breasts to meet her eyes. “Yeah? Do you want to feel my tongue somewhere else? To squeeze my head between your legs until you lose yourself to the pleasure?”

“Since when were you such a tease?”

Alicia climbed higher, her smile infectious as the two started kissing again. “This is all you, Kat. You drive me crazy, and you told me to stop holding back. I’m going to make you scream yourself hoarse, and then you’re going to repay the favor twofold. Deal?”

“Yes! Anything!” Kat gasped.

One last kiss, then Alicia moved again. As she slid further down on the couch, her fingers hooked into Kat’s lingerie. She pulled it off quickly, tossing it to the floor, freeing Kat up to spread her legs. Her own arousal grew even more obvious as she felt the air of the room on her sex, and she shivered in anticipation as Alicia settled in.

The Dryad’s arms pushed underneath Kat’s legs, hugging them tight while her hands grabbed the Vampire’s hips. Alicia continued to tease, slowly kissing the inside of Kat’s thighs. She inched closer, bit by bit, until she finally reached Kat’s dripping wet sex.

With Alicia’s hands holding Kat still, there was no more foreplay, no more teasing. Her tongue reached out, running over Kat’s clit, who immediately released several expletives betraying her own rapturous enjoyment. Alicia’s tongue was rougher than Kat had expected, and the added texture felt incredible. It tickled and pulled on her clit, the Dryad’s lips joining in as well. After all the teasing earlier, especially considering the time spent at the strip club, Katrina was thrilled that Alicia was sparing her from further torment.

Kat reached down, eagerly holding onto Alicia’s hair as she continued eating her out. Her other hand, in an attempt to avoid any overt rough housing, was eagerly grabbing at her own breasts. She bucked her hips, moving them in time with Alicia’s tongue, the two quickly finding a comfortable rhythm. Alicia was alternating between sucking on Kat’s clit and pushing her tongue into her wet entrance, something Kat had never experienced before. The novelty of the entire experience, as well as the added thrill of their already existing connection, pushed Kat over the edge in record time.

With a powerful scream, Kat came. Her legs clamped tight around Alicia’s head, squeezing tight as her entire body shook with pleasure. The entire time, her girlfriend’s tongue refused to stop pleasuring her, and the stimulation kept her cumming for an impressively long time.

When she finally found the strength to settle down, to try and catch her breath, she managed to look down at Alicia and release the tension in her legs. “God, that was incredible.”

Alicia giggled in excitement as she left her spot between Kat’s legs. Her mouth glistened with traces of Kat’s orgasm, which she wiped on the back of her hand before crawling higher. “You’re telling me. I can’t believe how long you kept cumming!”

“Alicia, in all seriousness, I can’t remember the last time I came that hard. I’m worried my own performance won’t live up to that.” The girls kissed a few more times before Alicia rose up to her knees.

“Well, maybe we should find out,” Alicia said. She bit her lip briefly before Kat nodded in agreement.

“What do you like?” Kat asked, watching as Alicia moved again. She had expected them to switch places but, instead, Alicia climbed even higher so that her knees were resting on either side of Katrina’s head.

“Well, before the Change, I loved a lot of attention on my clit. I have no experience in my new body and, well, things are a little different down there now.”

Kat’s curiosity skyrocketed, and thankfully she didn’t have to wait any longer. Alicia eagerly reached down, ran her fingers through Kat’s hair, and pushed her hips closer. With the conversation clearly over, Kat took the time to examine her lover’s body.

The Dryad’s sex appeared normal at first glance, but now that Kat was up close, she understood what Alicia meant. It was slightly shorter, and much more circular than Kat had expected. The various folds of her pussy almost resembled the petals of a flower, but Kat was too turned on to make the obvious joke. With her head pinned down to the couch, she desperately wanted to hear Alicia scream.

Kat licked her lips, then gently kissed the front of Alicia’s sex. It was difficult to know if her clit was still in the same place, or even if it would still get the Dryad off, and Kat was excited to explore. She reached behind Alicia, grabbing her soft butt and holding tight as she began licking and kissing between her legs. She listened carefully to every noise her girlfriend made, trying to decipher her various moans and gasps. She even cautiously bit from time to time, suspecting that Alicia’s own affinity for biting might have been a clue to her preferences.

A minute passed, both girls gasping in adoration, when Katrina found what she was looking for. A spot just above Alicia’s entrance, but closer than usual, that seemed to drive her mad. It was Alicia’s turn to shout expletives of pleasure, and she grabbed Kat’s head tight while pushing her down.

“Yes! Right there! Suck it harder, bite it, I’m so close!” Alicia gasped.

It took some careful positioning, but Kat found a way to give Alicia exactly what she wanted while also keeping her elongated fangs out of the way. Her lips eagerly sucked on Alicia’s sex, biting even harder as she attempted to push Alicia over the edge. After a few more seconds, she got what she wanted.

Alicia squeezed tight with both her legs and her hands, locking Kat in place as she started cumming. She was definitely the messier of the two, and a noticeable scent filled Kat’s senses. It was a much cleaner smell than most humanoids created; rather than a soft musk, it instead resembled the scent of freshly fallen rain on healthy soil. Kat lost herself in the experience, delighted that she had been able to make Alicia cum, and eagerly prolonged the orgasm for as long as she could.

When the pleasure finally receded, and Alicia released her iron grip on Kat, she quickly moved off of the Vampire’s face. She shuffled down, locking their legs together before cuddling up against Kat. Their lips met once more, both girls holding each other tight as they passionately kissed.

Unexpectedly, Alicia started laughing after a few moments.

“What’s so funny?” Kat asked softly.

Alicia reached up, quietly brushing some of her own fluids off of Kat’s face. “It looks like this new body is just as messy as my last one. Sorry about that!”

“Please, it was amazing. You smell of petrichor, and I would happily have spent longer down there.”

“Oh, is that so?” A mischievous smirk appeared on Alicia’s face, and she pulled back slightly. “Well, you promised to return the favor twofold, so don’t think this is the end.”

It was Kat’s turn to laugh. “Who are you, and what have you done with my shy, timid girlfriend?”

Alicia leaned back down, playfully biting one of Kat’s nipples. The sensation immediately reignited her libido, and she couldn’t stop herself from gasping in pleasure. “What was it you told me? Touch you, grab you, throw you around? You only have yourself to blame, Kat. Now, let’s switch, I want to lay down this time!”

The girls kissed again, and Kat made sure to bite Alicia in retribution before switching positions with her. She carefully helped the Dryad down on the couch, then kneeled on the floor to prepare for round two.

Neither of them got much sleep for the rest of the night.

Hey Alicia!

"..."

You, uh... you alright?

"..."

You look a little tired.

"...mmhm."

You two keep each other up for a while?

"Hehe, yeah we did."

I don't suppose, in all the excitement, Kat managed to find a song for this chapter?

"Oh, um... she wrote this for you."

I'll spare you the hassle of reading it, you seem a little winded. "An event of this magnitude deserves an equally momentous song. Today we'll be listening to Koyunbaba op. 19 by Carlo Domeniconi. While the style of this song differs from my usual fare, it's a spectacularly haunting piece that, in my opinion, truly feels like a journey. Its melodies are spirited and impactful, its rhythm inspired and evocative. It's rare to find a piece that demands such technical mastery while also practically daring its performer to inject their own flair and dramatics. Each motif builds on the last, spiraling to higher and higher heights before an inevitable climax that feels like both a resolution and a beginning. Needless to say, it's incredibly important for certain... activities that Alicia and I got up to this chapter. It's certainly a bonus that my supernatural finger dexterity can make Alicia—" 

"Nyx!"

Oh, shoot, I'm not supposed to read that part. Sorry.

"Are we all finished? I've got, um... somewhere I need to be."

I think that's everything, yeah. It didn't just rain, did it? I swear I smell someth—

"I'mleavingnowokaybye!"

Nyx <3
