Chapter Three:
Lycoris stood outside of the Asari embassy, waiting for Athena to finish with her lessons for the day. Her own tutor had released her early when it became painfully obvious that even her usual tenuous attention span was severely lacking. She hadn't been able to stop thinking about what would happen later that afternoon when she brought Athena home with her, and her concentration was completely shot.
Back when they were younger, their parents had hired the same tutor for them, but that had changed a few years back. Athena was more interested in advanced theoretical studies while she excelled at practical applications. Both of them still went to the Asari embassy for the last year of their schooling, Lycoris because her mother was an important political figure and Athena because the T'Soni family name was probably the most recognizable one in the galaxy, but they followed different lesson plans.
With nothing else to distract her, all Lycoris could think about was the next few hours. She had tried to wait inside for Athena, but quickly found it too stuffy, especially when the receptionist shot her a suspicious glare from behind the front desk. Eventually, she decided to move outside, but even there she couldn't find a comfortable place to wait. A sick, nervous feeling lingered in the pit of her stomach, and no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't get it to go away for more than a second or two at a time.
She almost considered calling the whole thing off. Her palms were sweaty. Her throat was dry. And she wasn't entirely certain she could keep herself from vomiting. She didn't feel very sexy or appealing, even though the ache between her legs from yesterday still hadn't gone away. But Athena was literally the girl of her dreams, and Lycoris was terrified that she would never get such an opportunity again if she let it pass her by.
Sooner than she expected, but later than she hoped, Athena finally stepped through the embassy doors. Lycoris leapt to her feet, smoothing out the creases in her jacket in what she hoped was a nonchalant gesture. Athena's face broke into a smile upon seeing her, and she smiled back, suddenly feeling a lot calmer. Something about knowing Athena was happy to see her made her remember that they were friends before everything else, and no matter what happened, their relationship would remain in-tact.
But even though her heart was at ease, her body hadn't gotten the message. Her pulse picked up as Athena came closer, and she swallowed down a lump in her throat. "Hey," she said, wincing a little at the sound of her own voice. She had been going for a sexy drawl, but somehow, the word had come out as a nervous, shaking squeak instead. She cleared her throat and tried again. "I mean..."
Before she could finish, Athena closed the distance between them, grabbing the back of her neck and pulling her down for an energetic kiss. Lycoris froze. Athena's lips were just as sweet as she remembered, but she couldn't seem to respond. It wasn't until Athena's tongue grazed her bottom lip that she finally remembered to kiss back. She was much more careful this time, only pushing forward when Athena invited it, and when they finally broke apart, she was thrilled to discover that she had left Athena breathless.
"Hey, Corrie. Ready to go?"
She nodded, wrapping an arm around Athena's shoulder. "Sure. We've got the whole place to ourselves... including the dungeon, if you want."
Athena laughed and shook her head. "No, thank you. I nearly died of embarrassment last time. Your bedroom is probably a better choice."
Lycoris breathed a small sigh of relief, grateful that she had woken up early to clean her room. At least she wouldn't embarrass herself before they even took off their clothes... Just thinking of Athena without her clothes made her stomach flip. She had caught a few glimpses before, mostly at the beach, but it had been a couple of years since their last joint vacation. Even back then, she had struggled not to stare.
"Corrie," Athena said, pulling her away from her memories.
She blinked, and a blush crawled up her neck as she realized that Athena had called her name more than once. "Sorry, what?" She tried to distract Athena by steering them towards the nearest rapid transit kiosk.
"Where did you go just now?" Athena asked curiously, wrapping an arm around her waist.
Warmth blossomed in Lycoris's chest at the familiar touch, and while she was a little worried that news would get back to Athena's parents, she couldn't help but feel proud of the public display of affection. She purposely shortened her strides to make it easier for Athena's slightly shorter legs to keep up. "I was just thinking about the last time I saw you naked."
"Really? And what did you think?"
She grinned. "I thought Nevos was a much better vacation spot than Earth, because you look even better naked than you do in a swimsuit."
Athena laughed as they arrived at the rapid transit kiosk. "Flatterer. But since we're confessing, I couldn't keep my eyes off you, either."
Lycoris cleared her throat awkwardly as a car pulled up to the kiosk. "So, ready to go back to my place?"
Athena sighed and shook her head, but her eyes were still laughing. "It's always a line with you, isn't it? Oh well..." She stood up on tiptoe, and Lycoris's breath hitched as Athena's lips grazed her cheek. "At least you're cute. Come on. I want to get away from this crowd."
Once Athena was comfortably situated in the far seat, Lycoris closed the door behind them and keyed in their destination. The engine hummed, and the car took off, weaving into the late afternoon traffic. Lycoris stretched her arms casually above her head, sliding one of them over Athena's shoulders. They stayed that way for the rest of the ride, curled into each other and counting down the seconds.
At last, the car came to a stop. Lycoris's stomach lurched. Even though it was her apartment, she was slightly terrified of going inside. Going inside meant there was no turning back, and even though she had imagined this exact scenario hundreds of times in her head, she wasn't confident in her ability to meet Athena's expectations. "You sure you wanna do this?" she asked, hoping her nervousness wasn't too obvious. "I can still take you home if you've changed your mind."
Athena smiled and reached over to squeeze the top of her thigh. "I definitely haven't changed my mind. Have you?"
Lycoris shook her head. "Uh-uh. No way am I backing out. Not when I finally have the chance to fuck you."
Athena looked at her in surprise, and for a moment, Lycoris feared she had said something wrong. "What do you mean, finally have the chance? Just how long have you been thinking about this?"
"A while," Lycoris admitted. "Okay, maybe a few decades. Don't laugh."
"I'm not laughing," Athena murmured. "I've been thinking about this for a while, too."
Lycoris's mouth fell open. She knew she probably looked ridiculous, but luckily, Athena didn't seem to mind. In fact, if she had to guess by the shy little smile tilting her lips, Athena seemed to enjoy stripping her down to the clumsy idiot she really was beneath all of her brazen talk. "Wait… you mean we could have been doing this sooner?"
"A lot sooner."
Athena climbed out of the car, and Lycoris followed, nearly tripping over her own feet. She kept turning the thought over in her mind until she realized that Athena was waiting for her to unlock the apartment door. "Sorry," she stammered, letting the sensor read her palm and standing aside so Athena could walk through first. "I guess you just surprised me."
"Is it really that surprising? We've always been friends… and I've always thought your Dad was pretty cute."
Lycoris groaned and shook her head as the front door closed behind them. "Please, don't say that right before we're about to have sex," she mumbled, but Athena didn't apologize. Instead, she walked right for the bedroom without any hesitation, acting as normally as she always did. Lycoris scurried after her, glancing nervously around the apartment to make sure it really was empty. One of the worst things she could imagine was getting interrupted by either of her parents, but especially her father.
Finally, they made it to her room, and she locked the door. When she turned around, she saw Athena standing beside her bed. There wasn't even a hint of doubt in her expression, and Lycoris couldn't decide if that calmed her down or made her even more nervous. She was supposed to be the confident, experienced one, and she didn't know if she could pull it off. "So…" she said once she'd stashed her pack by her desk, leaning up against it to try to look more nonchalant than she was feeling.
Athena stepped closer, reaching up to stroke the back of her neck. "How about we start where we left off last time?" She leaned up for a kiss, the low, husky octave of her voice sending shivers of pleasure up Lycoris's spine.
Lyrocis melted. The warmth and taste of Athena's kisses were swiftly becoming familiar to her, but the slant of Athena's lips over hers still sucked all the breath from her lungs and made every muscle in her body quiver. She folded one of her arms tight around Athena's waist, partially because she ached to pull her closer, but mostly because she was afraid she would lose her balance. When Athena's tongue slid along her bottom lip, she did the same, unable to summon enough brain power to do anything more than copy what was being done to her.
Fortunately, it seemed to work. Athena clutched the collar of her jacket, holding her in place for longer, deeper kisses as they started stumbling toward the bed. Although she was still nervous, Lycoris felt some of her fear draining away. Desire took its place, burning in the pit of her stomach and throbbing out to the very tips of her fingers and toes. Heat pooled between her legs, and she twitched against the seam of her pants.
"Maybe we should get rid of some clothes?" Athena whispered into her mouth.
"Oh! Yeah..." Lycoris nodded numbly, allowing Athena to slide her jacket down over her shoulders. Surprisingly, her confidence didn't disappear along with it. Athena's earlier comments were still echoing in her head. Once again, she started copying, sliding her hands up along Athena's back to find the zipper of her dress. Her fingers fumbled over the tab, but eventually, she managed to pull it down, whimpering a little as she found bare flesh. Athena's skin was even smoother and softer than she had expected, and her palms ached to feel more.
She had no balance left by the time Athena pushed her backwards onto the mattress. She let out a huff of surprise, but couldn't find it in herself to object as Athena crawled over her and started slipping out of her dress. Her eyes widened as the front peeled down, and she swallowed as Athena's breasts came into view. They were a little larger and softer looking than hers, with hard, thick purple nipples in the center and a scattering of freckles just above. Her fingers dug into the covers, fighting her immediate instinct to reach out and touch.
"Corrie? Are you okay?"
"Um..." She blinked, starting a little as Athena leaned closer. "Yeah." Her voice came out higher than she intended, so she cleared her throat and tried again. "Yeah, I'm fine. You're just... fuck, you're beautiful, The."
Lycoris watched as a faint blush crept up Athena's neck to color her cheeks. It was the first time she had seemed the least bit embarrassed, and Lycoris was enchanted that it was over a compliment. She decided right then and there that she would do everything she could to put that little blush on Athena's face as often as possible. "Can I…Um… I mean, may I touch you?" she asked, her palms itching to touch the beautiful blue flesh that was exposed just for her.
"I can't believe you pick now to show some of those manners I know your mother bred into you." Athena's hands covered hers, dragging them up along her body and cupping them over her breasts. She groaned softly as her palms were filled with Athena's soft flesh for the first time. They were a perfect fit, almost like they had been made for her. And as amazing as it felt to be holding Athena's breasts in her hands, Lycoris was surprised to find herself just as entranced with the beautiful hands holding her own in place. Athena's hands were smaller than hers, but still strong, and Lycoris liked the contrast of their skin tones.
"Well?" Athena teased. "Is something wrong? You can touch them this time."
"I... I thought I was," Lycoris stammered, but she swallowed over the break in her voice and gave Athena's breasts a gentle squeeze. They were soft and firm at the same time, and so, so warm. She could feel the hardened points pushing into the middle of her palms, and when Athena's hands fell away, she trapped them between her fingers and gave a soft tug. The sigh that spilled from between Athena's lips made her abdomen clench with desire, and she repeated the motion again, hoping she could discover even more of those sweet sounds.
Lycoris's confidence grew swiftly, and it didn't take her long to discover exactly what Athena liked. The noises she made and the darkening of her eyes told her everything she needed to know. She started to explore further, and finally, she pulled one of Athena's nipples between her lips, running her tongue tentatively over the tip.
Athena's pleased whimper was even better than the soft sighs she had earned before. She was a little surprised when Athena's hands clutched the back of her crest, holding her in place, but she didn't object. This was exactly where she wanted to be. She drew the point of Athena's nipple further into her mouth, and when the fingers on the back of her crest clutched tighter, she dared to graze the edges with her teeth.
That earned a long, loud groan instead of just a whimper. Athena's hips pushed down into hers, rubbing hard across her abdomen, and Lycoris desperately wished she wasn't wearing her clothes. She wanted to feel Athena paint her stomach with wetness, but while both of them were still dressed, the gesture was only a tease. Without giving up her place, she tried to tug Athena's dress even further down.
Unfortunately, instead of helping to strip away her clothes, Athena pushed her hands. Lycoris released her nipple and looked up at her in confusion, trying not to let her disappointment show. "Not so fast. You aren't the only one who's been waiting for this. I want to see you, too."
Lycoris didn't have to be told twice. She reached for the hem of her shirt and ripped it over her head, flinging the garment to the side. If she had any remaining doubts, they vanished completely as Athena's eyes roamed hungrily over her torso. Suddenly, the rest of her clothes felt constricting. "Pants," she gasped, bucking forward against nothing as Athena's warm hands stroked along her stomach. "Um, just... just let me take off..." She tore her hands away from Athena and fumbled with her zipper, groaning with relief as the pressure eased a little.
Athena kept smiling down at her, staring with unconcealed curiosity, and Lycoris's inner muscles shivered with anticipation. For the first time, she wished she hadn't chosen to wear such tight pants. They did wonders for her ass, but they weren't easy to get off. She bit her lower lip and tried to shove them down over her hips, but it was nearly impossible to undress while Athena was kneeling over her hips. Reluctantly, she pulled herself up into a sitting position, scooting higher on the mattress and kicking out with her feet as she struggled to finish stripping. She knew she looked ridiculous, but couldn't bring herself to care.
"Here, let me..."
"Just give me a second..."
Athena leaned down to help just as she tried to yank one of her legs free. Lycoris went tumbling off the side of the bed, legs still trapped together. She hit the floor with a thud, and it took her several moments to collect herself. Athena peered down at her, obviously concerned, but also undeniably amused. "Are you okay, Corrie?" she asked, unable to hide the giggle in her voice.
Lycoris sighed and shook her head. "Don't worry. My pride is going to have a bigger bruise than my ass." It was difficult to pick herself up off the floor with her pants still tangled around her knees, so she kicked them off as quickly as possible before climbing back to her feet. She wasn't the least bit self-conscious about her nakedness until she looked up and realized that Athena was staring directly between her legs. She froze half-way onto the bed, but as strong as the urge to close her legs was, to protect herself from any judgment, she couldn't bring herself to do it. Athena wasn't looking at her with anything other than blatant hunger. "Come back to bed," Athena purred, and the sound of her voice sent shivers up Lycoris's spine.
She settled back on the mattress and watched as Athena slid the rest of the way out of her dress. Although she was slightly disappointed that she hadn't been able to do the job herself, she quickly got over it when Athena leaned down and planted a kiss between her breasts. The soft, warm graze of lips over her skin made her tremble, and a low groan broke in her throat. She tried to summon the strength to flip Athena over, but the warm mouth sliding down along her stomach made it impossible to control her movements. Her hips pushed forward, and she groaned again as blunt teeth nipped the tender skin below her sternum.
"Oh, Goddess," Athena whispered, still scattering kisses over her stomach. "You taste good, Corrie. And you're so wet..."
Lycoris's eyes widened when she realized what Athena meant. While searching for some kind of contact to ease the pressure between her legs, she had started rubbing against Athena's abdomen. She froze, torn between embarrassment and desire, but Athena gently gripped her hips and urged her to continue. Hesitantly, she rocked forward again, and her breath hitched as another pulse of wetness spilled out of her.
Athena smiled against her skin and rewarded her with several more kisses. "Feeling you is making me want to taste you," she murmured, still guiding her hips in a slow grind. "Please, let me?"
Lycoris stared down at Athena in surprise. When she fantasized about her first time with Athena, that wasn't usually one of the activities she pictured. She typically imagined herself giving Athena pleasure instead. But even though it came as a surprise, the request made her throb and push up harder into Athena's stomach. She bit her lip, torn with indecision, but eventually, her desire won out. "Okay," she said, trying desperately to keep her voice from shaking. "If that's what you want..."
"Oh, it's definitely want I want." Athena pushed her hips down into the mattress to keep her in place and scooted closer to the foot of the bed. "And I think it's what you want, too."
Lycoris couldn't think of a response before Athena spread her thighs apart. Soon, she couldn't form coherent words, much less an entire sentence, if her life depended on it. All she could do was feel. And she quickly realized that no matter how vivid and incredibly arousing her dreams had been, there was no comparing them to this reality. First there was the warmth of Athena's breath, the softness of her lips and finally the incredible heat of her mouth. Just the feel of Athena's tongue tracing the outer lips of her azure made her feel like she was going to shake apart.
Buzzing, crackling energy rushed to the back of her head, and she nearly arched off the mattress. It was a sensation she had experienced many times on her own, but never before had it been so strong. She wanted to meld. It was an incredibly powerful urge, but she was afraid that she didn't have nearly enough control to do it safely, and she was terrified of what she might transmit to Athena if they did enter the joining.
Unfortunately, any small amount of control she still had over her own body was demolished when Athena's lips wrapped around her throbbing clit. The warmth and pressure sealing around her completely shattered her willpower. Her mind exploded outward, searching for something to connect with, and Athena was there, bright and beautiful and just within reach. She latched onto Athena like a lifeline as her world erupted into peaks of vivid color, pleasure that bordered on the edge of pain.
"The!" Lycoris screamed as she clutched at the back of Athena's crest. Her hips jerked, and the force of her climax sent rippling contractions through her entire body. Everything that was Athena rushed in to fill her mind, and a burst of heat spilled out from deep inside of her, splashing over Athena's lips and chin. The pressure finally released in a flood, and a few tears leaked from her eyes as she pulled Athena as close as she possibly could.
At last, the shuddering stopped, but Lycoris made no effort to sever the meld. It seemed as though she had waited an eternity for this moment, this woman, and she couldn't bear to give them up. Instead of pulling back, she allowed herself to explore the mind that had tied itself to hers, reaching out cautiously across the connection. 'Um. Hi?'
Athena placed another soft kiss against the tip of her ridge before drawing back. 'Hi? That's the best line you have?' Even inside her head, Athena's voice and laughter sounded beautiful and familiar.
'Sorry. I - I'm not really used to melding with people...'
Athena smiled up at her, resting a slick cheek against her thigh. 'It's okay, Corrie. I already knew.'
Lycoris couldn't quite hide her surge of embarrassment at the exposure of her lies, but she tried her best. 'That obvious, huh?'
'Only a lot. Don't worry. I thought it was cute.'
'Cute isn't exactly what I was going for...' Lycoris looked down at Athena, wanting to see her as well as feel her, and she blushed when she realized just how much of a mess she had made. The lower half of Athena's face glistened with wetness, and the sheets beneath them would definitely need to be changed. 'I'm sorry about that. I didn't know it would happen... or that it would happen so fast.'
'Don't worry.' The amused laughter in Athena's voice ricocheted around Lycoris's mind, but the familiar chastising made her feel comforted instead of self-conscious. 'You were incredibly sexy.' Lycoris couldn't contain her satisfied sigh when Athena nuzzled against the patch of sensitive skin just below her navel, placing a gentle kiss there as well. It surprised Lycoris how comfortable she was with Athena in her mind, but they had always been close, and aside from her inflated bragging, they rarely kept secrets.
They rested together for a few moments, savoring their new closeness, but she felt arousal stir within her again as her hand stroked the top of Athena's crest. She was a bit surprised, since her first orgasm had been more satisfying than anything she had ever imagined, but she eventually understood that it wasn't only her own need she was feeling. Athena had shared in the pleasure of her release, but it obviously hadn't been enough to satisfy her. She quickly pulled Athena back up, pressing their lips together in a hot, hungry kiss that was all passion and little finesse.
She tried to flip Athena seamlessly onto her back, just like in the vids she had watched on the extranet, but apparently it was a move that required a little practice. They got hopelessly tangled for a moment before Athena's sure hands calmed her down enough to slide free. 'Here,' Athena thought, rolling onto her own back and opening her arms. Still a little embarrassed, Lycoris crawled on top of her and stared down into her eyes, gasping as desire that was not her own sparked between their skin. 'Please, Corrie,' Athena's voice pleaded in her head. The sweet sound made the back of her neck tingle. 'Touch me?'
Lycoris couldn't resist. She had spent years daydreaming about all the different ways she could give Athena pleasure, and now that she finally had the chance, she wasn't going to waste it. She leaned in for another kiss, softer this time, and slid one of her palms down along the flat plane of Athena's stomach. Athena shifted beneath her and parted her thighs, wordlessly inviting her touch, and she gave in, letting her hand slip down between Athena's legs. She didn't know which of them moaned the loudest when her fingertips glided through the slick wetness there.
She spent a few minutes just exploring Athena's outer lips, mostly because she was utterly fascinated and not because she had any wish to tease. It wasn't until she heard another pleading, 'Please, Corrie,' in her mind that she snapped out of her haze. She didn't want to rush this, not when she finally had Athena spread out beneath her, begging for her touch. She was determined to learn every inch of Athena's body and extract every bit of pleasure that she could.
Her fingers delved a little bit deeper between Athena's legs, marveling at the soft, silky texture of the delicate tissues beneath her fingertips. She knew when she grazed Athena's clit because her lover's breath hitched and her hips jerked into the caress. Lycoris circled the hard ridge, feeling it thicken and throb at her touch, which seemed to produce a similar response in her own body. 'Is this okay?' she asked, still gazing down into Athena's shimmering black eyes.
Athena nodded and bit down on her lower lip, pushing harder against her fingertips. "Yes," she gasped outside of the meld, hooking a knee firmly around her waist. "Oh, yes..." She began rolling her hips, transforming the teasing touch into a rhythm, and Lycoris tried her best to follow it, circling the stiff ridge of Athena's clit whenever she rocked forward.
Soon, her fingertips were covered in wetness, and Athena's shaking breaths had been replaced with a constant stream of whimpers. Her entire body quivered, and Lycoris smiled as Athena's arms flung around her neck, dragging her even closer. Her mouth was caught in a searing kiss as soon as she lowered her head, and at the same moment, her fingers slipped, skimming against the warm, clinging muscles of Athena's entrance. She froze, waiting for a signal to proceed.
'Go ahead.' The edges of Athena's nails scraped down along her back, raising soft lines between her shoulder blades. The buzzing in the back of her head started up again as Athena began drawing from their union, following the thread of their connection deeper into her mind. 'I want to know what it's like to feel you inside me.'
There was no defense against the chaotic thoughts that barreled through the meld as Lycoris's fingers pushed into Athena's velvety heat. She had trouble sorting through everything that Athena was thinking, but she was relieved at what she found. Most of Athena's thoughts were about how good it felt, how full she was, and how much she enjoyed the slight stretch of her muscles. Lycoris only wanted to give her more.
She kept as much control over her movements as possible, listening intently to everything that Athena shared through the meld. When Athena first wondered how it would feel to be stretched just a little more, Lycoris carefully pushed back into her with another finger, earning a gasp of pleasure and another set of scratches down the middle of her back. It amazed Lycoris how tight Athena was, and how much pleasure she was receiving just from fulfilling her lover's every desire.
There was so much sensory information coming at her, both from her own body and through the meld, that Lycoris was afraid that she'd miss something. She didn't want to miss anything when it came to Athena. Still, she thought that she was doing a pretty good job, especially when she felt Athena stiffen beneath her and a lightning flash of pleasure streak through the meld. It took her a few moments to figure out that her fingers had grazed something inside of Athena to cause the reaction, and she focused on trying to recreate it.
After some trial and error, Lycoris pushed purposefully against Athena's front wall, an experiment that left her gasping as another flashbang of pleasure exploded inside of her. She found a rhythm that she knew Athena liked, thrusting as deep as possible into her azure before dragging her fingers out slowly, curling them against that sensitive spot along her inner wall on the way. Athena's entire body was wound tighter and tighter with each push.
"Corrie!" The sound of her name cut through the haze of lust, and she looked down to see Athena writhing beneath her. It was the most beautiful sight she could imagine, made even more beautiful by the flood of lust pouring into her through the union. She knew without being told that Athena was close, and she wanted nothing more than to return every ounce of pleasure that her new lover had given to her.
'Goddess, I want to feel you come,' Lycoris thought. She brought the pad of her thumb up to the throbbing point of Athena's clit, swiping over the swollen ridge as her other fingers continued curling. 'I want it more than anything...' For a moment, she felt intensely vulnerable even though Athena was the one hovering on the edge of madness, but the rush of affection and reassurance running just beneath the swelling ocean of desire was enough to reassure her.
'I... we're going to...'
And then 'I' stopped making sense, and Lycoris found herself being swallowed up by everything that was Athena. Fierce, joyful need burned beneath her skin, and wetness burst into her hand, sliding over her palm as the walls of Athena's azure fluttered wildly around her fingers. Her own muscles tensed, then released, pulsing in time with the other heart inside of hers. Her lips found Athena's one last time, but the kiss was surprisingly soft, with both of them struggling to breathe around the edges. When they did manage to draw in shuddering gasps of air, it was at the same time.
But such an intense connection couldn't be sustained for long. As the powerful waves became ripples, they retreated back into their own minds, saying goodbye with soft touches until they finally stopped shivering. The first word that Lycoris knew for certain had come from her own mind was Athena's name. "Oh, The," she sighed into Athena's mouth, unwilling to pull away from the kiss just yet. "That was... we were..." She couldn't find the language to describe it, even in her head. Athena had split her apart and held the very center of her being in her hands.
"Mmm... we were," Athena mumbled, giving Lycoris one last soft kiss before turning over onto her side and dragging Lycoris's arm around her waist.
Lycoris stared down at Athena in wonder. She was already drifting off to sleep. At first, she was a little disappointed. Her first mating meld had been wonderful, and she wanted to experience it all over again. However, the more Lycoris thought about it, the wider her smile grew. She had managed to sap all of Athena's energy with a single orgasm. Obviously, she had done her job well, even without a lot of experience. Feeling extremely proud of herself, Lycoris pulled Athena's back tight against her front, nuzzling into her shoulder. She hadn't felt tired before, but now that she was contentedly curled up with Athena in her arms, sleep snuck in beneath the covers. Perhaps she could convince Athena to go for round two after a short nap.
