Chapter 11 Heart Wins Mind

"Eeepp! Ea! You scared me! Are… are you alright?"

Nyx looked in shock at Ea emerging from their room. Ea had given Nyx a shock when Nyx saw her. She looked rather dazed and zombie like, and her clothes were rather dishevelled. There was a rather conspicuous hicky on her slender neck, which she seemed totally oblivious. She was walking just a little unsteadily and her face was flushed.

"Huh? … oh Nyx, its you. I … I am alright. I am fine!"

Ea's eyes finally registered Nyx and she flashed a smile. It was a shy, bright smile very at odds with her dishevelled appearance. Nyx couldn't help wondering what was going on, but before she could ask any further, Ea had turned away.

"Ea?"

Nyx called after her… only to realise that Ea had lasped back into her slightly zombie like state and totally didn't hear her at all…

Ea was lost in thought and totally didn't realise much of what was going around her. She was thinking about Gumiho… The nine tailed fox girl was recovering at an amazing rate. At first, Ea had been tending to and treating Gumiho like a fragile kitten because her wounds had been so horrible. But once she had woken up, her rate of recovery had been tremendous. And the more Gumiho recovered, it seemed like the more "frisky" she got. Ea was placed in a quandary because after confessing to Gumiho, she found it hard to refuse the fox girl.

Ea realised she had arrived back at their room. She knocked and entered through the door, her eyes automatically seeking out Gumiho. To her surprise, the bed was empty! Ea felt a worrisome shock run through her at the sight of the empty bed. She ran there to double check and even flipped back the covers… no one was there. A pair of hidden, keen eyes tracked the worried water goddess as she looked around the bed.

"Gumiho?"

Ea called out, a slight quaver in her voice. Where as she? She looked around the bed frantically. She failed to notice a stealthy pair of feet pad silently up behind.

"Gumi … eeeeppppp!"

Ea's call was abruptly cut off as she was pounced on and hugged from behind by Gumiho. She felt Gumihu's nine soft furry tails envelope the both of them. It felt as if she was being wrapped around in soft fluffy pillows.

"Hi Ea…. I missed ya…. !" Gumiho said with feeling and she continued to hug Ea hard from behind, not allowing her to turn around.

"Gumi… I was only away for a short while. You scared me! I thought something had happened to you!"

Ea tried to sound natural, but she was feeling Gumiho's supple body hugging her close from behind. Gumiho's soft breath blew on the nape of her neck and Ea shuddered despite herself.

"You had me worried… W…why are you out of your bed?"

Ea's mind was starting to get a little hazy, Gumiho's hands encircled and held her in a close embrace, and her tails surrounded them both. It all formed a rather soft but fluffy prison. At the same time, Gumiho was breathing warm breaths upon the nape of her neck.

After one such breath, the naughty fox girl licked a spot, causing Ea to gasp and tense up. Then she nibbled and kissed the same spot causing a tingly sensation to run through Ea's body. She breathed warmly on another bare spot on Ea's neck, and again licked it before nibbling and giving it a tender kiss. Then the fox girl repeated it yet again, each time choosing a spot slightly lower down Ea's neck…

Breathe… lick… nibble… kiss… breathe … lick … nibble… kiss…

Ea felt as if her body was turning to mush and her legs suddenly felt weak. She was tilting her head to one side now, baring her neck even more for Gumiho to lavish her attention on. In a slight daze, she had to lean back fully against Gumiho, feeling even more of her body press in upon her back. She glimpsed Gumiho's cute fox ears twitching as she nibbled and kissed her way down Ea's neck and almost automatically, one of Ea's hands reached up to scratch and fondle those adorable ears.

Gumiho felt Ea's tender and familiar touch on her ears and shifted a little. Ea's hand felt wonderful on her ears. She had to fight hard against the blissful haze that always descended upon her every time Ea played with her ears. She ran her hands lightly over Ea's flat stomache and teasingly slipped one of her soft fluffy tail into the mix as well, running over Ea's smooth skin lightly like a feather. Ea gasped more loudly this time, then clapped her hand over her mouth in mortification. The walls weren't very thick, people might hear!

But before she had time to dwell on it much, Gumiho had circled around so that she was not facing Ea. Ea found herself looking into the slanted cat like eyes of Gumiho, which were alight with an intense desire. Gumiho's hands ran up and down Ea's back and scratched her lightly, sending another tingly sensation running down her back this time round. She then purposefully, tenderly kissed and nibbled on Ea's hand, which was still clapped on her mouth.
Ea knew what Gumiho wanted.

She was being assaulted from both sides and Gumiho was wearing down her defences even as she nibbled lightly on her hand. Gumiho caught one of her fingers with her mouth and sucked on it like a baby, twirling her tongue around it, she then moved on to the next finger… All this time, her insidious tail was still lightly sweeping back of forth along Ea's side and ribs like a fluffy duster. It was getting hard to keep her hand clapped over her mouth to stop the traitorous gasps and sounds that was emerging from herself. Ea fought to clear the hazy fog her mind had desended into, still wanting keep some decorum. They were in a stranger's house! Her mind tried to protest, but her pounding heart wanted the same thing Gumiho wanted.

"Gumi… stop. W..we are in Dion's house, people will hear!"

Ea half whimpered, trying to bring up what her rational mind had been telling her. Gumiho felt her face going red at the reminder, but she shook her head firmly, eyes intense with passion and said with a pout…

"Don't wanna…"

Then she reached up one hand, grasped Ea's blocking hand and pulled it down while her other hand slipped round to the back of her neck gently to prevent Ea from turning her head away. Gumiho then meshed their lips together firmly as the last of Ea's resistance was pulled aside.

"Mmmpppphh…"

Ea was lost and she knew it. Her logical, rational mind blanked out and retreated to a hidden corner. Gumiho's kiss was like an intoxicating drug which she couldn't resist. It started with Gumiho, but Ea was soon kissing back just as fervently, her tongue entwining with Gumiho's. Every other thought faded from her and all she could think of, was savouring the sweet taste of Gumiho's lips, and the warring of their tongues. She even forgot to breathe temporarily. After a very long while, they finally remembered to break for air, with a breathless Gumiho releasing a very dazed Ea.

"Don't wanna…"

Gumiho repeated again with a naughty flip of her hair. Ea just looked at her still in a daze, her mind still stuck somewhere in its fluffy hidden land.

"Don't wanna… what?"

Ea mumbled a little incoherently, wondering what Gumiho didn't want to do. She couldn't even remember what she herself had been protesting about before this. Her rational mind jumped up and down before deciding in resignation that it had no chance in this unfair competition and quietened down again.

"Don't wanna stop!"

Gumiho giggled before once again diving in for another mind numbing kiss. After another intense bout of kissing which left Ea reeling, she gasped as she realised suddenly felt the cold hard wall behind her, which she was now backed up against. A soft downy tail slipped in between her and the cold wall, tickling her back.

Gumiho breathed a deep shuddering breath to try and regain her composure. She was in danger of totally forgetting herself and becoming a wild passionate beast. She didn't want to scare Ea.

"I .. I am sorry, Ea. It just that you taste so nice… I.. I can't get enough of you…"

And to accentuate the point, Gumiho once again captured those sweet lips again in another devastating kiss. Ea's hands unconsciously ran up and down Gumiho's back lightly, causing the fox girl to arch her back slightly. The inexperienced Ea didn't know what to do, and her mind wasn't quite functioning at the moment. Her hands were almost moving on their own instinct, rubbing Gumiho's back, stroking her tails. But from Gumiho's appreciative moans, the fox girl was enjoying Ea's touch very much!

Ea's mind just managed to register a faint peep. Wait, Gumiho might enjoy this too much and … !
Then, Ea felt one of Gumiho's hands sneak up to her front and gently push up her top. One of her tails slid down teasingly and brushed itself against her inner thigh…

Ea's heart, which had already been pounding hard, beat even more furiously now. She broke from their kiss breathlessly, trying to form a coherent sentence.

"Wait… Gumi… too fast…"

Ea managed to plead before her mind took a vacation again as she arched against Gumiho's teasing caresses. She barely registered that her top had been completely removed now and even more of her skin was now exposed to Gumiho's hands and evilly sensuous tails.

Ea's mind was on the verge of total shutdown now. She just wanted to lose herself in the heated sensation coursing through her body. Every caress, every kiss, every flick of a tail was driving her crazy. She drew Gumiho's head in for another heated kiss…

Then, a polite knocking sounded on the door, rudely interrupting everything and sending a shock through the both of them. They barely had time to register what was happening before a girl with mismatched eyes opened the door and stepped through.

"Hi Gumiho, Ea! I …. I… I …"

Nyx's cheery greeting froze as well as her entire person as she took in the scene before her. Her mouth fell open… Gumiho had Ea with her back towards the wall, with both in a state of undress. Both had their hands on each other (Gumiho even had her tails brushing up against Ea!) and their lips were locked together…

Ea's mind finally woke up and reasserted itself as the two of them broke apart from their kiss. She realised belatedly her state of undress, flicked her eyes over to her top lying discarded on the floor too far away, and took cover hiding behind Gumiho, having no other alternative and time for anything else.

Gumiho also blushed as red as Ea was and rearranged her nine tails up to cover herself, and Ea modestly. Ea covered her face with her hands in embarrassment, she wanted to slip into the ground and disappear forever…

Nyx finally got a hold of herself and shut her mouth. She smiled weakly, putting on a brave front, though her own tell tale face was also flaming red.

"E… erm, d.. don't mind me!"

And Nyx was retreating out of the room at top speed and shutting the door firmly with a bang after her. Ea fell to her knees weakly… her hands still covering her face in mortification.

"Nooooo… I will never be able to look at Nyx in the eye again…"

Gumiho, also on her knees beside Ea tried to comfort her by putting her arm around her while apologising furiously.

"I am sorry Ea, it… it was all my fault, I got carried away… Please scold me!"

Gumiho begged for forgiveness from Ea, her ears down in apology. Ea just continued to cover her face and remained silent, causing Gumiho to grow alarmed.

"Ea? Are you ok Ea? Just get mad and scold me… You … you are scaring me! Please say something Ea!"

After a long moment, Ea finally lowered her shaking hands and grasped Gumiho's hands within hers. She looked at Gumiho's scared face with clear eyes and said resolutely, though her face was still as red as Gumiho's.

" I… I already said I love you, Gumi … I don't regret anything!"

Ea gulped and looked at the door before whispering almost inaudibly.

"But maybe next time, Y…you should lock the door first?"

Then she grabbed one of Gumiho's tail and hid her flaming red face in it, appalled at herself! Ea's rational mind sighed in defeat, and deserted Ea totally, leaving her to her well deserved fate!
