The rest of the day went along quickly. The boys busied themselves by goofing off and playing some basketball, Shalimar worked out in the Dojo and Emma meditated to somewhat "clear" her head. With dinner time around teh corner Brennan had another idea. He and Jesse made a nice dinner for everyone to help set a more romantic mood to further play with Emma's emotions.
Jesse ran into the hallway and yelled for Emma and Shalimar to come to dinner. Shalimar made it into the kitchen first and sat down. After training all day it felt good to finally sit. She noticed that Jesse and Brennen had dressed up and were looking good. She felt slightly jealous because her hair was disheveled and she was in a black tank top and training pants. It wasn't fair that Brennan and Jesse were trying to show off to Emma. If Jesse and Brennan were taking this prank that seriously then she should too. Shalimar got up and ran to her room to do some damage control to herself so Emma would think she was cute too. Moments after Shalimar left psionic walked in. Both the boys turned and smiled at her. Emma smiled back and sat down.
"So what's for dinner boys?"
Jesse walked over and placed his hands on Emma's slender shoulders. Emma could feel the heat from his hands warming her entire body. Jesse could feel Emma stiffen under his hands and it was all he could do concentrate on thinking dirty thoughts of Emma and not laugh out loud at how the plan was working.
"Brennan, Shal, and I wanted to make you a nice dinner, you usually do the cooking so tonight is for you Em."
Emma tried to block what she was feeling. "Thanks guys, I appreciate the offer, but where's Shal?"
"Right here." Shalimar purred as she slyly walked into the room with a tight black leather tank top and matching pants. She sat down across from Emma so she could stare right into her eyes. Shalimar was never one to back down from competition and she usually got what she wanted.
Emma took a deep breath and thought, okay just relax, this is just a game. Let's just see how far any of them are willing to take it. Brennan brought the plates of food to the table and they all sat down and began to eat. Emma just stared at her plate unable to eat with the stir of emotions around her. She could feel her skin flush and her body was beginning to tingle all over. She looked up to see Jesse and Brennan scarfing down their food. Well at least they still have their appetites she thought. She then glanced across to Shalimar who was staring directly at her. Emma's breath slipped away at the sight of Shalimar's flawless face. Shalimar was giving Emma her best "I want you right now face". Emma could feel the love and passion radiating from Shalimar. The empath's face turned a crimson red.
"Em, you're blushing," Shalimar coyly cooed.
Not wanting to shy away like usual, Emma kept her eyes on the feral and said, "I feel kinda hot."
Jesse and Brennan immediately stopped shoveling food in their mouths and looked at Shalimar and then looked at Emma. It appeared that the two girls were in a staring contest. Jesse looked at Brennan and shrugged his shoulders. Brennan motioned to Jesse that they should leave the girls alone. They boys scrambled to their feet and darted out of the room.
"Man, I thought this was just a fun prank to pull on Emma but I think Shal is taking it very seriously."
"No kidding, Jess. I am not a psionic but even I could feel the tension in there."
"I told you there was a connection between them, when will you ever listen to me?" smiled Jesse.
"Well there is certainly one now." Brennan grinned and punched Jesse in the shoulder, "Come on let's see what Adam is up to."
Back in the kitchen Emma and Shalimar were still staring at each other. Shalimar let her eyes slowly slide down Emma's body. It was supposed to be a joke she thought but she was genuinely excited by the redheaded beauty. Emma cleared her throat and said teasingly, "Uh Shal? Shal? My eyes are up here." Shalimar quickly moved her eyes back up to Emma's face. This time it was the feral who blushed. Emma slowly stood up from the table keeping her blue eyes locked on the blonde in front of her. With one hand gliding across the table cloth she slowly made her way towards Shalimar. The empath extended her hand for Shalimar to grab. Shalimar took the warm hand in hers as she began to stand up. The feral's eyes flashed yellow before returning to their natural brown color. With their fingers intertwined in one hand Shalimar used her free hand to lightly brush Emma's cheek. "You are so beautiful," the feral breathed.
Emma smiled and replied, "I thought this was supposed to be a practical joke?"
Shalimar's face dropped. "I...ah...it was...but....I."
"Oh really, is that so." Emma smiled and pulled Shalimar closer to her so that their bodies were touching ever so slightly. Emma could feel Shalimar's body shake at closeness.
Shalimar was not used to Emma's boldness. Emma was the shy and cute one and Shalimar was the stronger more aggressive one, not that she was complaining with what the empath was doing.
"It was supposed to be a funny joke, honest....but I don't think this is the case now. I am really attracted to you. I may not be able to feel things the way you do but I think you feel the same way about me right now."
Shalimar waited for a reaction from Emma, trying to read her face. Emma's smile widened as she nervously licked her lips. She leaned in and barely brushed her lips against the ferals. Shalimar responded by wrapping her arms around Emma's neck to bring her deeper into the kiss. The initial touching of the lips alone brought out even more desire in the two girls.
Shalimar broke the kiss and pulled back. Breathing heavy she said, "Em, if you don't want to do this we need to stop now." Her eyes flashed yellow again in the dim light of the kitchen. "I don't know if I can stop if we go any further, I want you to be sure."
Emma backed up out of the feral's grasp. Without saying a word she crossed her arms over the bottom of her tank top and pulled the shirt up over her head and dropped it to the floor. She could hear a gasp come from the blonde on front of her. The psionic then unzipped her skirt and let it drop to the floor. Wearing nothing but lacy blue panties that matched her eyes she stood in front of Shalimar showing her the answer. The ferals eyes gleamed yellow and stayed that way as she quickly scooped up the practicaly naked woman. A small giggle escaped from Emma as she let her lips graze the ferals ear and whispered, "Where are you taking me?"
The feel of Emma's hot breath and soft lips on her ear made her swallow hard. "My room now."
