Chapter 21

The boys make their way through the crowd, pushing past the doorway to try and find a table to sit down at. The place is really jam-packed, and it's not helped by the fact that a small makeshift stage has been set up in the center of the room. The bartender is working flat-out to provide drinks for all the thirsty people, and the hedgehogs wonder where in the world they'll find a place to sit down and watch. After a lot of elbowing, narrowly avoiding being stepped on, and small confusions, they manage to find what they think is a good place to watch the 'show'.

Suddenly the bar goes silent and the lights dim; a figure clad in a white mantle steps onto the stage; discarding the covering with a swift movement, it reveals the comely visage of a bunny-girl - a literal bunny-girl, in that apart from the obvious bunny ears and the hints of rabbit-like legs, she actually looks otherwise human despite the prevalence of anthropomorphic animals in this city.

A strange, exotic robe adorned with floral designs decorates her body, and her face is completely white, delicately painted to make her look like a porcelain doll; her eyes are shaded with a red eyeliner and her lips with a crimson lipstick. The black hair atop her head is done in a small bun, perched just above her flattened bunny ears. She smiles at her audience and takes a pair of fans out of her long sleeves, opening them and beginning to motion in graceful, fluid movements. Sonic and Shadow watch, mesmerized as an unusual, but calming, music begins playing in the background; while the small makeshift stage begins to glow with a strange substance, the dancer begins going through her preparatory motions.

The grace and speed with which she moves are admirable. Whoever this strange woman is, she's obviously honed her body quite well. This promises to be quite an interesting spectacle.

The crowd begins cheering as finally the dancer begins, striking poses that seem next to impossible in those restrictive robes of hers; she surprises them even more when she begins singing in tune with the music, a beautifully melodic voice that silences the crowd and echoes throughout the room. Every single one of the patrons gathered today watch the show enraptured, while the bartender takes this small reprieve to rest for a spell.

Suddenly the eyes of the dancer turn towards Sonic and Shadow, deep brown and gentle, but filled with a mysterious intensity that makes her look even more exotic. Throughout the dance Sonic and Shadow begin to have the impression the woman glances their way whenever she can, and yet her movements and motions are so natural, so fluid, they have to wonder if she's really looking at them or just going through the choreographed motions of her dance.

Finally, at the climax of the song, the dancer's robe is set aglow, likely by the same substance that covers the stage, giving her a shining silver aura that illuminates the whole room and dazzles the watchers!

The dancer spins one last time, slowly crouching and looking at Sonic and Shadow over her opened pair of fans, as the glow in her robes and the stage begin to fade. The patrons, entranced, miss the ending of the show and begin to clap and cheer only a short while after the lights have gone back on inside the bar. The dancer's eyes stay locked on hedgehogs, even as a few of the patrons attempt to approach the stage and touch her. A pair of city guards enter the bar and make their way through the crowd, likely to open a passage for her egress.

Sonic and Shadow watch her as she goes, and then get up to try to leave, elbowing their way through the crowd as politely as possible. It felt nice to see a display like that here; makes it feel a little less like a wasteland of sex-mad monsters and a little more like home.

As they exit the bar they hear someone say, "Hey! Wait up!"

They pause, wondering who it might be, and turn around to see who's calling, suspicious and ready to defend themselves; can't be too careful, after all. Even if Tel'Adre isn't full of rapist monsters, that doesn't mean there aren't common muggers. A tired bunny-girl clad in light-blue robes similar to the ones the dancer was wearing runs toward them. In fact, staring at her, they're quite certain she is the bunny-girl who was just dancing.

"Oh, it's you." Sonic smiles politely at her. "Your dance was quite beautiful."

"Thanks."

"Is there something we can do for you?" Shadow asked.

Taking a moment to catch her breath, the bunny-girl smiles at them. "You're a couple of new faces... I don't think I've ever seen you around the city before; how long has it been since you moved?"

The two hedgehogs look at each other before looking back at her.

"Actually, we don't live here." Sonic stated. "We're just visiting."

She raises an eyebrow at that. "Really? So there are other places out there that are safe too?" she asks, covering her mouth, startled. "Oh, where are my manners...?" She extends her hand, cutting off any reply. "I'm Loppe; pleased to meet you, umm..."

Sonic smiled and shook her hand. "I'm Sonic, and this is my friend, Shadow." He chuckles. "You know, it's quite a coincidence to see someone who has the same race as the dancer that was just eyeballing us in the Wet Bitch so soon afterward."

"Sonic." Shadow frowned, feeling it was inappropriate for him to say such a thing.

Loppe giggles, then comes clean. "Yeah, that was me... did you enjoy the show? Ah, actually, let's not talk about it here in the street... did you maybe want to come with me to this little bakery I know? They make a mean carrot cake."

The boys consider the time of day, and the girl offering, and decide that it can't hurt. Loppe smiles and takes their hands into her own, leading them towards a nearby bakery.

"Carrot cake!" she happily pips to nobody in particular. "With a side of chocolate-chip cookies, and some cupcakes. Can't wait!"

The carrot cake was something they could have seen coming, but what's with the cookies and cupcakes? Is one little, dainty-looking bunny-girl really going to eat all that?

Loppe notices their looks, shrugs, and smiles. "I love sweets, and dancing works up an appetite." Then she gives them a seductive glance. "You aren't going to deny a dainty-looking bunny-girl her pleasure, are you... sugar?" She lets the last word roll off her tongue in a provocative manner.

The boys quickly shake their heads.

"I just didn't expect you to have such an appetite." Sonic chuckled. Then, with a playful smile, he asks "What other not-so-dainty secrets are you hiding? Do you burp loudly to show you enjoyed your meal?"

Shadow frowned at his companion, about to scold him again, until he gets a closer look and notices a little glint in his eyes. The glint of curiosity, interest… and lust. Shadow smirks knowingly. 'Sonic, you dirty player. I know what you're up to.'

Loppe smiles mischievously, "Oh, my sweet boy... When I get my hands on something I like, I eat it up whole..."

Suddenly, slowly, Sonic feels a foot gently glide across his legs, and he blushes brightly.

Well, now. This is a different kind of world, indeed, but this feels a little too quick. Sonic is not sure he's all that comfortable with the bunny-girl feeling him up under the table, cute as she may be. An awkward silence falls over the three of them as Sonic tries to think of a polite way to stop or slow her advances without telling her off... thankfully, the waitress arrives to take their orders.

"Yes; I'm positively ravenous..." she replies, and hikes her foot a little higher, not only intent on feeling the blue champion up, but also inviting him to do the same to her.

Sonic keeps his hand where it is for now; there's a waitress ready for their orders.

Loppe clicks her tongue in disappointment and quietly retracts her foot. "You know what I want, sugar." She smiles lasciviously, reinforcing the double entendre behind her apparently innocuous words.

As mostly specialty items not on the usual menu, the price for her items is a bit high. The boys look at each other, then look at Loppe and admit they don't have the money on them to pay for all three of them. The dancer smiles at them. "Don't worry about it, boys; I asked you out, so it's my treat. Go ahead and order whatever you want."

They smile and thank Loppe and tell the waitress, a fetching young cat-woman, what they'd like; a dozen donuts for the both of them. Loppe takes thirty gems from her pocket and hands them over.

The waitress jots down their orders, snatches up the gems, and then walks off, tail swishing above a feminine butt. Sonic turns to look at Loppe, and notices she's staring with interest at the waitress's ass. "She's got quite a nice ass... I wouldn't mind getting behind that," Loppe comments quietly, watching the cat-woman's tail swish.

The two hedgehogs look at each other, then look back at her in question.

Loppe giggles at their expressions and answers the unspoken question. "I do, boys. It's not really girl-on-girl, though." Loppe stays silent for a long moment, then sighs reluctantly and gently but firmly takes Sonic's hand and places it over her crotch, where he can feel a most unfeminine bulge. She holds it there, then lets him go, looking at him all the while.

Sonic's face is red, and so is Shadow's. It's obvious that she has an interest for Sonic more out of the two of them, but they both know what she was trying to explain.

"... So?" she carefully asks. "I do have a pussy as well, by the way. I'm hermaphroditic. This is the part where you can tell me to... fuck off, or go away, or something similar, if you like. I've dated enough to know when someone isn't into me... and I'm not made of glass; I won't break, so don't worry." Despite her tough display, Sonic does notice a bit of moisture gather in her eyes.

"Loppe…" He starts. "We're not gonna be rude to you just because you're a herm. And to be honest… I'm bisexual anyway."

"I knew it!" Shadow laughed, earning a playful smack in the arm from the blue.

Loppe looks at Sonic, studying him to see if he's mocking her. But when she detects only honesty, she sighs and breaths a sigh of relief. "Sugar, you really are sweet. I can't tell you the number of times I've been rejected just because I'm a herm... anyways, we can chat later. Our food is here." She points toward the waitress holding their orders in a tray. The boys nod to her in agreement and turn their attention towards the food, ready to savor the sweets.

Loppe's dress robe - a kimono, as she calls it - is very well-made, and it really hides her package well. They wouldn't have thought she was a hermaphrodite if she hadn't revealed it during her and Sonic's little tête-à-tête.

"Loppe," Shadow started. "Is your deception a bit intempted?"

"Yeah, I mean, you did say that you were rejected a lot for being a herm." Sonic added.

"Haha, I have no problems with my sex. It's just coincidence that this kimono is really good at hiding it." Loppe grins at them, then gives Sonic a sultry look.

"Hey, Sonic," she says quietly, "you're really handsome, y'know? And kind... how about a quick stop at my place, before we say goodbye?"

Once again, Sonic blushes brightly. He has a pretty good idea about what she's planning, but he can't bring himself to say no. Sure, he liked Urta, but there was something about Loppe that was drawing him in.

At last, he nodded.

The dancer smiles mischievously at him. "Wonderful. I'm going to show you just how great my body looks without this dress. You wouldn't believe how much time I spend in the gym, working out." Loppe grabs her last cookie in one hand and Sonic's arm in the other, leading him away - presumably to her house. Shadow has no choice but to follow behind. Enroute, Loppe giggles constantly, provoking a question from Sonic.

"Why are you so giddy?" He questions good-naturedly, chuckling a little himself.

"I always get giddy when I can spend time with a sexy thing like you..." she replies, "but I was just recalling some of my earlier encounters. I should warn you, I tend to get very, and I do mean very carried away during the act. Things can get pretty intense."

Sonic bites his lip eagerly, hoping that he hasn't gotten in over his head with this girl.

It's not very difficult to reach Loppe's place; it happens to be located only a few blocks away from the gym, behind a small shop with the sign "Kemono's Oriental Clinic".

Once they get to the front door, the boys are surprised to see that Loppe's house is most unusual. The structure is the same as all other houses in Tel'Adre but the decoration is what sets it apart, it is covered in symbols that just don't any make sense to them; noticing their confusion, Loppe explains, "Mom drew these, it's supposed to be something to help ward off bad influences. It's a cultural thing." Loppe grins.

"It's quite nice." Sonic nodded, though, he's curious to what the interior looks like.

Loppe smiles and produces a key. But, before she unlocks the door, she turns to Shadow.

"Look, um… I'm sorry if this offends you, but do you mind waiting out here?" She asks him. "I mean, you're hot and all, but Sonic's the only one that's kinda setting me off." She hugs onto Sonic's arm and rubs up his chest as if to prove her point.

Shadow smirks and shrugs. "Not a problem. To be honest, you're cute and all, but I wasn't planning on doing anything with you anyway."

"Yeah, he's got a girlfriend named Amily back out there carrying his pup." Sonic smirks.

"Oh, congratulations." Loppe smiled.

Finally, she turned to the door, and with a click of the key, the door unlocks and the two of them step inside. If the exterior was unusual, the interior is even moreso; the first thing that catches Sonic's eye is the door; it's a sliding door, covered with some sort of film or paper that effectively prevents anyone from seeing beyond it. Why they would need something like that, considering whoever got in had to get past the front door, is anyone's guess...

"Mom! I'm home!" Loppe yells, and waits for a response. When none comes, she grins at Sonic. "Looks like we're in the clear, c'mon!" She slides the door open and leads him inside. He notes a distinct lack of chairs and the tables seem a bit too low; after some thought, he guesses that one is supposed to lower themself to the ground in order to accommodate the furniture. He also notes that most of the floor seems to be covered in a soft carpet, which feels great under his feet. He admires it as Loppe takes him to the back of the house, to a door marked with the image of a cute little bunny chewing on a carrot.

"Here we are, sugar. My room." Loppe makes a show of opening the door and letting Sonic peer inside.

Wanting to be polite, and curious, Sonic does what she's clearly inviting him to do and takes a look. The interior is quite homey; a sizable but modest bed is covered with soft cushions and blankets, and the remaining space is filled with a vanity table, a large closet, and some small shelves. He sees a number of books, but the topmost shelf gives pride of place to three well-loved stuffed dolls. Loppe notices where he's looking and gives him a sheepish grin.

"Ah... a girl sometimes likes to keep her old comforters," she offers defensively, clearly embarrassed that Sonic has seen them.

Sonic smiled at her. "It's ok. I don't mind. It's kinda cute, actually."

He politely slips inside, waiting for her to join him. Loppe closes the door behind her, and with a practiced flourish removes her clothes, shortly followed by her underwear. Sonic is surprised to see the laquine's forwardness, but he supposes this is what he came here for after all, so he smiles and strips off his gloves and shoes.

Loppe admires Sonic as he undressed what little he had, giving him ample opportunity to admire her back. As they examine each other, Sonic's eyes set on her hardening horse-cock. It swells to an impressive size and points the same direction as her eyes - it certainly didn't look this big when it was tucked inside her tight shorts.

'Huh… another horse-cock.' He thought to himself, remembering Urta had the same breed.

"So, sugar," she says, interrupting his reverie, "we can do this however you like. I don't really mind pitching or catching, especially with a cutie like you." Loppe winks at him, posing for his benefit.

Pulling her onto his dick would result in some cowgirl fun, though he'd have to deal with her cock pointed right at him when she came. He could just whip it out and ask what she thinks of it, compared to hers - it might lead to some cross words and crossed swords, though. There's always the option to receive her anally, though with her vaunted libido, he'd probably end up so flooded with her cum that it would wash from his mouth. Or he could be a prick-tease and leave. Sonic quickly mentally shook his head on that one. He was here. He offered. He wasn't gonna leave until they were both satisfied.

Looking over the hermaphroditic, horse-cocked bunny-girl, Sonic contemplates his options. He settles himself on her bed, making himself comfortable, and starts suggestively stroking himself.

"How do you feel about indulging your feminine half?" He asks her quietly.

"I would love to, sugar!" Loppe gazes at his cock.

She pushes him on his back and gently takes hold of the blue cock, rubbing gently. "Just sit back and leave everything in my capable hands, sugar."

She starts slowly, stroking Sonic and milking small beads of pre, which she promptly smears all over, getting his dick nice and slick. Sonic gasps in pleasure and surprise as he feels Loppe's erect cock sidle up to his, helping lube him with its leaking pre. Raising up his hips, the hedgehog clumsily tries to slide his shaft against her own, shivering from the sensation of his sensitive light skin against her proud horseflesh, already drooling even though he can plainly feel that it's only half-erect. His two testicles gently brush and rub against her own swollen cum-factories, and he can't wait to empty his overfilled sac into her waiting womb.

Maybe he'll become a father too?

"Okay, that's enough foreplay!" Loppe announces suddenly, eyeing Sonic's fair-sized cock with a hunger that he never expected to see on her face. Loppe quickly straddles him, aligning it with her pussy.

"Itadakimasu!" Loppe says, licking her lips as she finally slides him home.

Sonic moans softly; she's so warm inside, burning with lust and dripping with arousal, her innards stretching so perfectly to fit around every contour and groove of his shaft, yet squeezing him as tightly as a velvety vise. In fact, she's gripping him so hard that he can't seem to push himself any further into her depths; she's squeezing him much too tightly to move in or out, an outright amazing feat, if Loppe gets half as much action as she claims to.

Unfortunately for the blue, Loppe seems utterly consumed in her lust. She pants and drools as she begins to brutally gyrate her hips atop him, bouncing on his prick with happy squeals of pleasure and happiness, softly accompanied by the wet sounds of their coupling. Sonic gasps and cries, savoring every motion as she squeezes and wriggles, her inner walls rippling so deliciously around his cock, stroking them in the most delicious way. He thrust his hips, trying to slip deeper inside her, but still she's holding him at bay.

"Loppe, come on." Sonic pleads with a chuckle. "Let me do some of the work too."

Loppe doesn't bother answering his plea, instead doubling over and delivering a kiss on his lips to try and silence him. Her hips grind against his own, forcing him to fully hilt himself within her despite the seal formed by her constricting cunt. The sensation borders on the thin line between pleasure and pain, and he can't help but moan into Loppe's kiss; Sonic wraps his arms around the bunny-girl's silky-smooth back and holds her tight against him, her long horse-cock sandwiched between their bellies, smearing both of them with drooling precum, rivers of the stuff flowing out steadily with every thrust and grind the two of them make.

"Brace yourself, sugar! Here comes your cream!" Loppe yells in rapture, arching her back so powerfully it's like she's trying to pull herself free of Sonic's embrace.

Sonic then realizes that if he keeps holding onto Loppe, he's going to end up with a face covered in herm-cum - if he acts quickly, though, he can avoid the impromptu facial. He could even turn her hose of a cock back on her.

He shook his head and held her close. "I'm not letting you go anywhere, beautiful." He smirked.

He keeps his arms wrapped around her, welcoming what's approaching as her horse-prick throbs and her flared tip inflates. With a rapturous howl the laquine's cumslit opens like a floodgate, spurting jet after jet of cum onto his chest, face and even the wall behind him; her own pillowy breasts and face are splashed with the force of her orgasm. Her tight pussy contracts, milking his nice shaft for all its worth.

The smell of her juices fills the air and floods Sonic's nostrils, the copious cum painting itself over both of their bodies in great smears that make things deliciously slick and slippery. The combination of this stimulus with the expert milking of her wonderfully tight nethers and Sonic's own hyper-aroused state renders him unable to hold out any more. With a great shout of his own, the champion unleashes his orgasm into her waiting depths.

His ample shaft gushes fluids into her hungry womb. He cries out as he cums long and hard, arching his back off of the bed in his pleasure before finishing and collapsing, gasping for breath as, above him, the laquine comes to her own climactic end.

Loppe slumps atop Sonic, rubbing their bodies together as her hips slow down. Spent from his recent orgasm, Sonic resolves to just wrap his arms around her, pulling her into a post-coital cuddle. Her wet cock quietly slaps against his belly as she embraces him back, clearly savoring the closeness the same way he is. However, moments later, he feels Loppe's hips start to twitch, slowly building into more lustful thrustings, seconds before Loppe pushes herself back into a deliberately upright position, her pace building steadily. With a lusty smile and a mischievous twinkle in her eyes, Loppe looks Sonic straight in the eye as she proclaims, "It's time for round two, Sonic!"

What!? Round two? Now? He sighs in exasperation... she did warn him about her libido, but this is ridiculous! He just can't work himself into another erection... especially after having just climaxed...

Loppe quietly disentangles herself from Sonic's half-staff prick and slides down his body, pressing her soft, cum-slickened breasts against him. He moans as the smooth curves of her chest press against his pecker; the cum-slick skin giving him the impression of being wrapped in the moist folds of a woman's sex. As Loppe slides further down, he feels her teasingly licking at the tip of his throbbing prick.

The skillful dance of her warm, wet tongue on the sensitive skin of Sonic's post-orgasmic member pulls an involuntary shudder from him; the erotic stimulation sends blood pulsing back into his veins, and his shaft rises to full mast again, so swiftly it almost smacks the laquine on her nose, leaving him ready to be mounted by her once again.

"I can't remember the last time I've had so much fun with anyone else," Loppe whispers, shivering. "Now, sugar... it's time for another session, and you'd best be ready for overtime; if I have to stop to tend to you after every coupling, I'll never get these empty." She points with a smirk to her swollen balls. Er... didn't she just blow her load? Her balls look at least as full as, if not fuller than, when they started, and they nearly slosh with eagerness to be rid of their cargo!

Loppe straddles Sonic and with a mischievous smirk, she says, "I'm not stopping until I'm completely satisfied, sugar. So sit back and relax; this could take some time." She doesn't bother waiting for an answer before she sinks, impaling herself upon his shaft once more. He moans as once again he follows the lusty dickgirl into the throes of pleasure…

One hour and several orgasms later...

"Thanks, sugar. You're the best! I feel completely satisfied!" Loppe says, happily smiling and hugging Sonic tightly. As she snuggles up to Sonic, he can feel the distinct bump of her gravid-looking belly rubbing against his light skin; the cum-filled flesh deforms as the pressure pushes some of the skin-stretching load out of her nethers and further smears the proof of their pleasure on their entwined lower halves, but even so she still looks ready to pop with three or four kids. Sonic considers answering her, but finds that he lacks the will to do so... in fact, he lacks the energy to do anything at all, Loppe having fucked him until he was shooting blanks.

Sonic starts thinking that maybe he should just stick with Urta. Loppe was cute and all, but her libido was too much to handle.

Once Loppe has made herself comfortable, she gives Sonic a little peck on the cheek, then slowly extends her tongue to lick an errant droplet of cum from his nose. She sets her head on his shoulder and begins snoring lightly; sleep has apparently claimed the satisfied herm. It's not long before Loppe's soft snoring and warm embrace lulls him into a sleepy afterglow as well.

Two hours later...

Sonic wakes with a start, feeling a momentary surge of panic; how long was he out, and where was he? Still in Loppe's room... but where's all the mess? The dripping laquine jizz, the puddles of mixed fluids splattered all over the floor, the sopping-wet, sex-stinking bedclothes he was wrapped in?

"Morning!" Loppe says. Sonic turns to look at her and notices that she's dressed in what looks like a very comfortable bathrobe; in her hands she holds a tray containing a loaf of bread and a cup of what he presumes to be some sort of herbal tea. Looking further down Sonic notices that her gigantic belly has been reduced to normal proportions, giving the dancing bunny-girl the slim, slender silhouette she had when he and Shadow first met her. Sonic opens his mouth to ask her a few questions, but his rumbling stomach interrupts him before he can say anything.

Loppe giggles, sauntering over to him and helping him up, before offering him the tray with a small peck on the cheek. "Here you go; I made these especially for you. Eat up!" Ravenously, Sonic digs into the humble fare, finding it takes the edge off of his fatigue... though his muscles still feel drained and weak from the amount of 'exercise' he gave them.

"I was here all night?" Sonic asked to confirm his worries. His ears lowered as Loppe nodded. "Where's Shadow? He must be so worried."

"Relax, sugar, he's fine." Loppe chuckled. "He's out in the living room now. I let him in last night and he slept on the couch."

"Good."

Loppe zeroes in on a trembling hand and takes the tray from Sonic as he finishes, then grins nervously. "Sorry about that, sugar. I guess I might have overdone it, but it was so exciting being with someone new. If it was too much, I'll be happy to make it up to you - maybe a date, or... maybe another, much slower session." She looks slyly at him. "Whichever you're up for."

Before Sonic has a chance to answer, she leans in and captures his lips in a kiss.

Releasing him, Loppe points to a nearby chair. "I've laid out your socks, shoes, and gloves over there, but feel free to stay as long as you want to."

Sonic smiles. "Thank you, Loppe, but the last thing Shadow and I need are imps or goblins getting into our supplies and making off with our things."

He then redresses himself, runs to the living room to get Shadow, and they both depart. As they're leaving Tel Adre, Shadow crosses his arms and smirks at Sonic. "So… fun all night?"

Sonic cringes and gives an uneasy smile. "She was like a beast. She just wouldn't empty." He shakes his head. "She's a nice girl and all, but her libido is too much."

"So what are you gonna do then? Are you gonna see her again?"

"Uh, I can't bring myself to it. I think I'll just stick with Urta. She's really nice and has more humility about the situation better than Loppe does."

Shadow nodded with a chuckle. "I kinda expected that."

Sonic rolled his eyes. "Come on. Let's go see Amily. I'm sure you're dying to see her now that she's fixing to give birth soon."

"You know, you're not wrong."

The two of them laughed as they made their way to the town ruins. Maybe today would be the day, Shadow's pups finally come into the world. Pure, and untouched from corruption.
