Chapter 18 – And I feel you.

Rachel was standing alone, surrounded by a great crowd. It wasn't the largest audience she ever had, but this one was different. They weren't there for her, but for the event that would take place after.

Back on her previous city, some would go to the high school competitions just so they could hear her sing. She, for once didn't want to take the focus away from the main event, but she also wanted to give the kids from New Directions and the ghostly mr. Schue a metaphorical slap to their faces. She also wanted to show off to Quinn. She might not be able to roar like a lion, but she packed some pipes, they would see.

And they did. They saw and heard her. And they were amazed. Not only she was such a small girl, she also was a cat. Not a noble one like the great felines, but a house cat. A species they considered emaciated and lazy. Yet she amazed them all with her voice.

The ones who saw her during gym class showing her strength and agility were once again taken by surprise. She didn't only sing, she poured emotion into the words. They felt like she was pure melody and never thought they would hear the anthem being so beautifully sang.

After that the game was a blur. Her stunts as cheerleader were made automatically. She remembered being tossed and caught by the strong yet soft arms of Quinn.

She remembered them winning. It wasn't an easy game, but they won with a good amount of points ahead. Apparently it was something new and surprising.

Sam came and spun with her in commemoration just to put her down in front of Quinn and hug both of them at the same time totally getting the Lion girl by surprise.

By the time the boy let them go, after a long talk about how excited he was about them winning and about the points he scored, the cheerio's locker room was almost empty. Some of the girls where just finishing and were already leaving, not paying attention to the quiet moans coming from one of the shower stalls.

"That's San and Brittany for you…" Quinn shrugs her shoulders "That's why nobody stays at the locker room for longer than necessary after games."

Rachel smirks at her. She didn't want to give anyone a show, like the other two girls, but the sound they were making and the aphrodisiac fragrance they were exhaling were kind of driving her crazy.

She started to undress and purred at the thought she had. Quinn ears snapped into attention, quickly turning her head to look at Rachel just to catch her pulling her tail out of the hole on the back of her skirt.

Clad in only her spanks and her shirt, which was already zipped open, Rachel's image fogged over Quinn's line of thought. The low growl came before she could stop it making Rachel turn to her.

Rachel's irises were blown leaving them completely round. "Quinn there still people here." The girl warned with a hoarse voice.

"Yeah, and they're doing it." Quinn countered between clenched teeth, showing of her fangs.

Rachel's tail twitched. She really wanted to, but didn't want it to happen there.

"Let's go to my house." The singer suggested.

"Like the other day?" Quinn snorted a little annoyed.

Rachel's parents hadn't stayed out late. Actually they were already home when they got there. And all they did was spend the afternoon with them and then have dinner.

"No." Rachel assured holding Quinn by her shirt and pulling her closer. "Friday is date night. They're on their way to Columbus."

"Columbus?" Quinn asked, her nose almost poking Rachel's.

"Dad got a weekend on a hotel there as a bonus or something." Rachel explained. "I was going to call you after the commemoration party, but…"

"Screw the party! We can have a party of our own." Quinn growled again "With just the two of us."

"Exactly." Rachel agreed sneaking her arms around Quinn's hip and scratching lightly just the top of the girl's tail.

Her reaction to it was immediate. She growled once again and grabbed the girl pulling her into a hungry kiss.

"Just change and let's go." Quinn pleads.

"Ok." Rachel breathed as an answer.

Rachel's parents went to see the game, or more precisely, their little girl singing the anthem. They stayed for good part of the game, but had to leave early so they could get to the hotel in time.

Getting into Quinn's car both of them turn their cellphones off. They knew everyone would start calling them asking why they weren't in the party. Turning it off was just the easiest way to ignore them.

Rachel's house was dark, empty and eerie. Probably because it was the last one on the street and just before a wooded area. The house was also a little bigger than the other around it. And although it was now renewed it had been empty for quite a while before they moved there. Some would say the house was haunted, but what would haunt a house in a world where ghosts and monsters where real and not some imaginable thing for you to fear?

"Wow, is the rumors about your house real?" Quinn asks staring at it, temporally forgetting about her excitement.

"Which rumors?" Rachel asks taking off the seat belt.

"About it being haunted."

"Wel…" the short brunette says eying the house "… it does looks kind of eerie." She chuckles looking back at Quinn. "But it isn't. At least nothing happened until now."

"Uh…"

"Come on… or are you having second thoughts? You've being here already and everything." Rachel provoked leaning over to Quinn and giving the girl a tiny lick.

"No. Let's go." Quinn answered unplugging her seat belt and getting out of the car.

She opened the door for Rachel since the girl was too busy laughing to do it herself… and because she wanted to be chivalrous.

Rachel gives Quinn a little thank you kiss and pulls her bay the hands in the direction of the house. They behave pretty well until they get to the small girl's room. They weren't as fired up as they were back in the cheerios locker room, but were still giddy and wanting. Their urge would come back soon for sure.

"We're doing it… right?" Quinn asks with a pause noticing Rachel putting away their bags.

"Yes. If you still want to." Rachel smiles, shrugging off her jacket.

"I do." Quinn assured with a sweet smile. "It just kind of got awkward out of nowhere."

Rachel lets out a sigh of relief at that, catching the lion girl by surprise. "I thought it was just me." Rachel explained mimicking Quinn's light smile.

"Maybe we just need to relax a little." The blonde says getting closer to Rachel.

"I agree." The brunette's smile turns into a pleased grin, while she pushed the taller girl's coat of her shoulders and letting it fall to the ground. "Transform for me. You can leave your clothes on my desk and we start from there."

Quinn nods turning away and starting to strip. She doesn't see when Rachel transforms herself leaving a pile of clothes on the ground, nor does she notice the tiny cat pulling them out of the way before climbing the bed and sitting there.

The blonde's back is lean, her skin incredibly pale for someone who spends so much time under the sun exercising. Quinn then starts to pull down her pants. First pulling her tail out if it's hole leaving it up while she pushed down the pant all the way to the ground.

Rachel always pegged Quinn to be the type of girl who let the pants fall to the ground before picking it up with her feet. She was wrong. Oh, so wrong. But as fast as she had bent down she gets up. Repeating the feat with her panties even faster.

Quinn's butt was way too cute, Rachel notices. Small and round. The kitty girl kind of feels bad for ogling the other girl, but the blonde seems relaxed enough to not care. The knowing smirk in her face when she turns before transforming is just a hint of that.

And before she could even enjoy the front of Quinn's body the lioness is on her animal form. Her sandy fur shining under the room's light.

She quickly gets up into the bed nudging Rachel with her snout and making the little cat rolls into her back. She then gives her a really big lick going from her belly to the tip of her chin. The cat's grab the lioness muzzle with her tiny paws and starts to lick Quinn back.

Quinn is happy to let Rachel do it and just moves herself to lie on the bed leaving Rachel between her forepaws. Rachel just stops when Quinn lets out a low and pleased rumble, almost as if she was purring.

"You're way too cute." Quinn says in a completely animalistic voice.

Rachel was surprised that she could talk already. After all they had just started with these lessons. Still, it wasn't Quinn's clear voice yet. It was so guttural that even on her feral form her voice wouldn't sound like that.

"Quinn…" Rachel called sweetly siting and transforming back in her half animal form surprising the older girl with her bareness.

Quinn quickly does the same letting her body fall on top of Rachel's making them collapse onto the bed making them giggle joyfully. Their bodies pressing together with an intimacy they just started to get used to.

"You know? I really like you and I don't think we should stop ourselves from dating each other just because we think it's too soon for that. I mean look at us now!" the blonde says leaning back a little.

"Well I wouldn't say I'm the type of girl who goes this far before officially committing myself in a relationship…" Rachel trailed off noticing Quinn's anxiousness. "That means I would love to make us official."

The blonde roars triumphantly siting back and straddling the brunette's leg, her arms raised to the ceiling as if she had just won a marathon. Her spontaneous reaction easily brings joy to Rachel, who holds her by the hips and as if to get the girl's attention back to her she lifts her body pressing herself against Quinn's core. Quinn immediately looks down, eyes hungry and wild.

"Rachel…" the blonde whispers, her ears completely tuned on Rachel alone.

They weren't sure, everything started a lot different than how they thought it would. They had a playful start, a request to make them an official couple and after that everything was pure passion. Surprisingly they weren't awkward with each other regardless of the sudden development.

They fit. They worked so well with each other. They explored each other bodies driven by their desire and were awarded with immense pleasure and satisfaction. The sounds they made filled the empty house with life. A happy life, full of pleasures.

The night was proven young for the two of them, hands were never misplaced and every word they said was what the other wanted to hear. For some moments that night they were literally one in mind and sensation.

There were moments however where they would just hold each other and talk before going back to the previous activity. Exhaustion hit them a just few hours before dawn. And with that came the knowledge that although the night has ended they'd still have the other on this new day that was about to arise.

They woke up in their animal form. Quinn was curled around Rachel, who was completely pressed alongside the lioness' middle. She was the first to move getting up and stretching her back and legs.

She was just about to move away from Quinn when the lioness caught her and delicately pulled her back with her paw and started to groom the kitty's fur. The thoughts about protesting left her after the first lick leaving her as a purring mess, which Quinn thoroughly enjoyed.

It took a while for them to actually notice what woke them up. The knocks on the front door came a lot stronger that time. Obviously, whoever it was, was getting rather impatient.

"I won't be surprised if it's Santana…" Rachel mumbles still being groomed. However, to her disappointment is exactly her voice that makes Quinn stop the grooming.

As if to answer the banging on the door Quinn let out a furious roar that was obviously carried all the way down there, since the noise stopped.

"Let's clean ourselves and get the door, I'm sure your warning will not stop her for long." The kitty added with a sight.

"I just cleaned you." Quinn says with her rough and animalist voice that, somehow, carried a playful smirk in it.

"Quinn..." Rachel chastised. "Let me go." She added trying to get free from the blonde's huge paw.

She however is simply picked up by Quinn who had quickly transformed to her half animal form. "However, if you insist on a proper bath I can give you one of these too."

Rachel also transformed almost making them both fall to the ground and yet Quinn still was holding her away from the floor. "Quinn, we will not do anything with people waiting for us outside!" the little girl protested as she was being carried to her adjoined bathroom.

"Does that mean that we can still take a bath together?" Quinn asked hopefully nuzzling Rachel's neck.

"A… a quick ba-bath." The small brunette added trying to hold back a pleasured sigh.
