OUTSKIRTS OF RESPITE FALLS - EARLY EVENING
----------------------------------------------
Narrator Just conveniently out of sight from prying eyes and bored wall Guards, Erika is putting up finishing touches on a picnic setup on this handy set of rocks that someone had put up. The okapi is all dressed up, meaning she actually has a dress on, a sparkly purple summer dress that accentuates her rear end just so. She's also wearing these big gold earrings she either found somewhere or remembered she actually had.
Mirriam is most of her way through her route, humming to herself and stopping occasionally to trade light gossip with her clients. She looks more or less as she always does on the job, wearing her uniform buttoned up and tidy. It's not until she's down to her last few packages that someone brings attention to a silken blue bow behind her left ear. She pauses partway through a breath, blinking. "Oh! That's for ah... Me to remember to go somewhere! Fuck. Uh, here's your stuff, yeah? See ya tomorrah!" She bolts off, not making the last few deliveries as she sprints out the gate and toward Erika's picnic spot.
Erika has waited for a bit, enough to open the wine and start inspecting the plantlife nearby, although not really finding anything she's not very familiar with already. She sighs and glances towards the gates as she sits on the edge of the rock. "Where is that roo?"
Mirriam crashes through the bushes from the other direction, stumbling a bit but managing to catch herself next to the picnic blanket. "H-here! She's here! Whoo! Haven't had ta run that fast in a bit..." She straightens up, tugging a branch out of the fold in her uniform trousers, giggling. "I tot'lly did'n' forget bout ya, cher."
Erika starts at Mirriam crashing into the clearing: "Eep! D-don't do that! Use the paths like everyone else!" She fails to notice her own ginormous hypocrisy as she looks the roo up and down. "G-glad you're here though."
Mirriam laughs between catching her breath. "W-well if I did that I'd be later! Both the gates were so far from where I was at, I just scrambled up onta the wall and jumped off. Right spooked the poor porcupine standin' there." She also looks Erika up and down, grinning. "Ya look gorgeous, cher! Din't know ya had any fancy dresses like tha'."
Erika blushes as she shifts in her seat: "I mean, I usually don't. But I do. For like... this stuff, when it's not what we often end up with, right? I wanted to dress up for you." The same dress she had when she inadvertedly asked Mirriam for a date that first time, in fact.
Mirriam doesn't recognize the dress, though she may have had other things on her mind during and after the first time she saw it. "Aww, 'preciate that, cher~ 'N I wont feel silly, then~" She undoes the front of her pants, shaking her hips as she drops them and kicks them aside. Her top covers her shame just barely through this, before she tugs something under her shirt down, a light blue dress dropping to hang above her knees. She takes the jacket off a moment later, fully revealing the thin-strapped dress. "Tha's better~"
Erika giggles: "Sneaky roo. You look sexy." She pours a glass of wine as she motions her head for Mirriam to sit next to her: "Wore that all day under there, did you?"
Mirriam giggles as she kicks her clothes aside, straightens her dress, then sits next to Erika, giving her a kiss on the cheek. "Well, since my lunch break, anyway. Had a feelin' I wasn't gonna have time ta go home'n change. Almost didn' have time ta come at all." She lifts her wine glass, taking a sip. "Busy day."
Erika grins goofily as she clinks her glass to Mirriam's: "Well, less busy now. Let's chill, love." She then leans over to give Mirriam a peck on the cheek. "Pretty thing."
Mirriam leans against Erika, putting her free arm around her back. "How'ya doin', cher? Garden treatin' ya right t'day?"
Erika likewise leans, smiling: "Or me treating the garden right. Probably? At least I haven't found any new surprises this week..." She shrugs, laughing: "Will eventually anyway. I feel like it's kinda escaping from me what even grows down there."
Mirriam giggles a bit, sipping her wine. "Oh, well ya have been distracted a lot of late, by a cert'n subset of folks, hmm? Can' blame you~"
Erika giggles, waving her free hand: "I have no idea what you're talking about... you sexy thing, you." She grins warmly.
Mirriam smiles back before kissing Erika properly, her hand gently tracking up and down the okapi's side. "Flatterery'll getcha a lot with me, cher~"
Erika grins into the kiss: "Ooh, we have that in common~" She pauses for a dramatic second: "Pretty thing."
Mirriam sighs with a wistful lean, looking about to the blanket around them. "Not much firm ground ta put these full glasses down, hmm? Hold this fer me, darlin~?" She holds her mostly-full glass out within Erika's reach.
Erika takes the glass happily, almost not spilling it as she does. "Well, I best then hold onto both of these. Careful-like." She does so, and again almost manages to not spill as she grins at Mirriam.
Mirriam smiles and nods. "Thanks cher~ I'm gonna need this hand fer balance-" She turns, setting her hand on the blanket next to Erika's hip, starting to kneel over Erika's left leg, "An' this one fer yer skirt~" Her other hand settles on top of Erika's thigh, slowly pushing up the light fabric. She leand forward, about to kiss Erika. "Now doncha go an' spill any of tha' tasty wine, cher~"
Erika blinks in confusion, wine glass in either hand, but does her best to lean to kiss Mirriam regardless. "Mm, you're incorrigible. Good thing I like that~." The position is slightly awkward, so she decides to make it less awkward by taking a sizable sip of one of the wines.
Mirriam leans into the kiss, though not enough to push Erika back, then moves to kiss the okapi's long neck as her fingers trace up, pushing her dress to her pelvis. "Di'nt think ya were going to down so much t'keep from droppin' it, love, sorry~" She pauses in her teasing, giving Erika a slightly concerned look, "Are ya gonna be okay drinkin' that quick?"
Erika shudders slightly in anticipation, grinning: "Well, only one way to find out. And eat, remember to do that too."
Mirriam giggles, blushing brightly and brushing her fingertips across Erika's nethers when starting to trail them down her other leg. "Eat?" She kisses Erika softly, "Was that a request, cher~?"
Erika blushes and giggles: "Not what I meant, silly roo!" Pause. "Don't let me stop you, though." She finally sets down her now-empty glass unsteadily on the rock, although valiantly holds onto Mirriam's.
Mirriam giggles, licking her lips. "Aft'a a long day on my feet, I'd enjoy spendin' some time on my knees~" She kisses down Erika's neck, as her hands work the dress up a little further. Her fingers slide up Erika's fur, trying to find the waistline of underwear, as she looks back into Erika's eyes. "Yer really quite stunnin' from any distance, y'know~ Even an inch away~"
Erika laughs: "You're biased, old friend... but maybe not wrong?" She shivers as Mirriam continues and finds the waistline: "Well, at least I'm like... not completely awful ugly?"
Mirriam shakes her head, looking a bit more serious. "Yer perfectly pretty, cher. From yer lips-" She gives a pecking kiss, "To yer eyes, to yer wonderful givin' heart. That I can't kiss, but I'm'a make race~" She gives the underwear a tug after hooking her fingers under the cloth, slipping it out from under Erika's butt and revealing her to the breeze.
Erika leans back, smiling: "Well, you do your best. Or worst. Not sure which one this is." She shivers a bit, grinning: "Silly thing~."
Mirriam nods, blushing brightly. "I'll do my best for ya, love~" She dips down, relieving Erika of her panties and sighing. "Ya know, y'were my first girl, even if Ness was there." She runs her fingers up Erika's thigh, gently rubbing her pussy once there. "I do hope I've made up fer freakin' out on ya."
Erika grins softly: "I think you've made it up and then some... yeah, I was kinda down then, but I got better!" Pause. "...with Nesseth, really. So um yeah, here we are?"
Mirriam nods again, smiling. "'M glad. I do love ya, in a probably weird way. Not a run away'n get married way, but it's definitely a kind of love. Sorry, am I makin' this weird?" She's been slowly starting to push a finger into Erika's entrance as she rambles, body and mouth not exactly synched on the moment.
Erika shivers and laughs as Mirriam delves into her: "W-well, whatever you say is - oooh - weird, anyway? It's definitely love, I wouldn't be with just anyone, right? And I'm d-definitely being with you right now, there's not denying that!"
Mirriam blushes, smiling warmly. "Oh yea, ya have a point there. Think I should busy my lips 'fore I say anythin' incriminatin'~" She kisses Erika once more before bending down, softly kissing, then proceeding to lick Erika.
Erika mrrph's into the kiss, any further reasonings escaping her head for the moment. She just gives a soft laugh at the flexibility of the 'roo. "You're good at incriminatin~"
Mirriam lets out a muffled chuckle, looking up at Erika as she pushes her snout against her lover, pushing her tongue well within where her finger had been probing.
Erika squeaks as Mirriam gets deeper, desperately trying to hold onto Mirriam's wine glass while feeling very unstable: "Eh heh. Uh."
Mirriam hums, rubbing up Erika's legs. Her eyes shift a bit, looking past Erika toward the bushes. She can catch a vague glimpse of the wall when the wind shifts the leaves just right, making her blush a bit brighter. Her excitement translates to her squeezing Erika's butt, pushing herself harder into Erika's crotch and giving her efforts a little more fire.
Erika squeaks again as Mirriam squeezes her butt and dives deeper, enunciating her feelings clearly: "Ugbh." She shifts herself enough to position her long legs around Mirriam.
Mirriam smiles as she works, tilting her muzzle up and down as Erika's legs drape over her shoulders. "Mmhmm nmm smoh gmmd~" Her legs squirm a little as she herself gets worked up. Was that someone walking across the wall when the wind just blew? Probably not, but she's not going to tell herself that.
Erika laughs as Mirriam likewise does good with the words. She squirms in pleasure, being blissfully unaware if anyone is watching nor caring if anyone would be. Unless it's Nesseth. He gets to watch.
Mirriam laughs as Erika laughs, letting out a little huff. She takes a moment, pushing up to kneel more upright, keeping a hand on Erika's leg and taking the okapis hips skyward into a rather lewd...er pose.
Erika allows Mirriam to do her thing, squirming more though somehow managing to keep the wine mostly unspilled. Mostly. She had to take an emergency sip of it as she is pushed onto her back.
Mirriam witnesses Erika's save, drawing her tongue from her lover for a moment to breathe and giggle. "Oh sorry cher~" She licks her lips. "Did I get a little carried away~?"
Erika shrugs, spilling the rest of Mirriam's wine wherever. "I don't know!" She blinks as the wine goes flying: "Oops."
Mirriam laughs out loud, then covers her mouth as she glances around. Nobody. She looks back down at Erika, grinning. "Ah well, 've got plenty ta hydrate me anyway~" She dips her head and gives Erika a teasing lick.
Erika mrrf's in surprise: "Eep! S-sneaky!"
Mirriam giggles before letting Erika's hips down to the blanket gently, laying herself down over top of the okapi and kissing her deeply. "Not sure how it is ya excite me so, cher~ Gonna have ta share that secret with me sometime~"
Erika giggles: "I have no idea! I just love the people I love and suppose am kinda very obvious about it?" She leans back, inviting Mirriam to come on top of her with a very cheesy grin.
Mirriam lays with Erika, nuzzling into her neck with a number of kisses as her fingers slowly explore Erika's fur wherever it is exposed, without much immediate intent. "S'ok, I'll figure it ou' someday."
Erika leans upwards into the nuzzle, kissing Mirriam on the forehead: "Well, no better time than whenever it occurs to you, I always say." Pause. "I don't really always say that, but just play with me here."
Mirriam chuckles, her fingers finding purpose between Erika's legs as two slip into her depths. "Oh, ya chose those words well, hmm~? And I guess that'd be a bit wordy for ya ta make it a catch phrase~"
Erika squeaks at the touch, giving Mirriam a look. "Y-you did it again, you sneaky thing! A-and yes, I'm good with words. Or at least terribly averagely decent, so there."
Mirriam continues fingering Erika, her blush brightening at Erika's squeak. "Averagely decent is way understated, but I don' intend on inflatin' yer ego right now. There's time for that later~"
Erika laugh-squeaks: "There's gonna be seconds to this dinner? O-oh! My. You spoil me."
Mirriam grins, shrugging. Her fingers draw almost completely back, though her thumb finds Erika's clit and gently teases it. "We c'n stop now if ya like, love~ I know how shy ya are about open spaces~" She teasingly sticks her tongue out at Erika.
Erika sticks her tongue right back at Mirriam: "Oh do you now? Not enough coverage for poor ol' me?" She giggles: "That was awful, sorry. Keep at it, love."
Mirriam smiles, rolling a bit onto Erika and kissing her, starting to piston her fingers again. Her straddles Erika's leg, absently grinding a bit against it as she enjoys her lover.
Erika licks onto Mirriam as she gets closer, giggling: "Mm, heh, you're all kinds of great. But you probably knew that~."
Mirriam shivers from Erika's lick, licking her in return. "Oh ya? I might be, but not as great as ya are~" Her free hand slides up Erika's side, along her arm until she finally locks her fingers with Erika's.
Erika 's free hand wanders to Mirriam's side: "Flatterer. You are a horrible flatterer of a roo, you must know that."
Mirriam kisses Erika, then nods as her fingers find their way deeper, thumb brushing and massaging Erika's clit while they work. "Oh, that I def'nitely know, thank ya~"
Erika giggles at Mirriam's touch again, only lightly squeaking this time: "W-well good. Cause you should. Cause you are a horrible flatterer."
Mirriam chuckles, nuzzling Erika as her underwear slides against Erika's knee. "Well ya have a wonderful voice, ya know~? Really showed it off good that day in th'garden~" She pumps her fingers deeper, grinning. "'Specially t'ward yer endin~"
Erika squeaks just a bit louder: "D-don't you dare...! I don't have a-AH big voice. Nuh. Uh."
Mirriam grins, her blush growing brighter as she slips Erika's dress down off her shoulder, still trying to coax more of those cute noises from the okapi. "Well if ya don' wanna let out hat sweet voice-a yours, we better find somethin' else ta do with yer mouth, cher~"
Erika definitely does not squeak cutely as Mirriam continues her ventures. "MmM! What might you have in m-iiind?"
Mirriam leans up, resting her chest against Erika's and planting a kiss full of heated passion on this okapi. "That~ Unless yer feelin' a little peckish~"
Erika kisses back, her tongue wandering as she does: "Mmm~ a bit of both, maybe?"
Mirriam bites her lip, kneeling upright and glancing around through the bushes before hiking her dress up and slipping out of her underwear. She looks down at Erika, giggling, "Do ya wan' me ta lay down, or straddle ya~?"
Erika looks at Mirriam's underwear go. "Either way, I suppose... Pick a comfy position and I'll give you a lickin'" She winks.
Mirriam giggles again, trying not to make too much noise as she turns about, her knees on either side of Erika's torso. "Yer a sweetheart, cher~ Hope this helps ya keep that totally not big voice in check~" She bends down, rather handily presenting herself for Erika as she puts her own tongue to work for her lover.
Erika giggles as well, admiring the roo's curves from close proximity for a second before homing in and starting to lick around and near certain weak point, her neck and long tongue giving her more reach easily.
Mirriam is already slick from getting heated while teasing Erika, shivering when she's finally stimulated by Erika's licking. She lets out a shivering moan, humming it against Erika's nethers.
Erika giggles at this, but continues her expert licking (where has she been learning that?) upon Mirriam's nethers, the odd position if anything just adding to her fun right now.
Mirriam raises her hips a little, seeming to take a phantom ride. She pauses from working Erika to mutter, "G...Geez... How'd ya get s-so good with yer tongue, ch-cher~?"
Erika giggles: "I know a lizard who really likes me doing tongue sports~." She shifts herself to slightly more comfy position on the rock: "G-gotta use what you have."
Mirriam grins, shaking her hips. "Well ya said it~ Mmh, want ya ta use what ya got, cause it's damn good~" She reciprocates, plunging her tongue into Erika's depths, spurred on to do even better.
Erika fails to have time to utter another comment, 'forced' to continue her work upon Mirriam's depths, enjoying every moan either of them let out, thoughts of anyone coming across them long-forgotten now...
Mirriam wraps her hands under Erika's legs, holding herself tight to her, nodding her snout as she explores Erika.
Erika tries to hold in her exitearoused giggles as she explores Mirriam, and to her credit even mostly succeeds. The two go at this for a while...
Mirriam twitches her hips when Erika finds sensitive spots, as the two seem to forget to quip at eachother, enjoying the shared pleasures and giggles for some time. It seems Mirriam might be the first to give in, though, when she squeezes Erika's thighs, burying her muzzle against the okapi and barely stifling a tongue-free moan with Erika's wet fur.
Erika moans as her 'work space' gets suddenly smaller as Mirriam gets tighter right as the okapi does. Eventually the two seem to reach some sort of silent (or almost-silent) agreement, flopping next to each other in a pile of horny sweat. "Huh-kay. That was g-good."
Mirriam rolls sideways off of Erika, laying on her back and panting out a laugh. "Yuh-huh..." She blinks at the tree overhead, feeling her face burn a bit. "So glad we picked a spot outside the walls... And not like the park or somethin' fer our picnic."
Erika giggles: "I d-dunno, some guard might have gotten entertainment out of it if we did it at the park." She takes a deep breath: "But maybe better if we didn't."
Mirriam giggles, her eyes flitting to the wall that isn't all that far away from them. She's not convinced the frilled shape she sees move in the corner of her vision is anything more than an illusion created by the suggestion. "Y-yeah... Especially a cert'n guard~"
Erika huffs out a relieved breath: "Yeah... he'd have loved that, probably."
Mirriam reaches down, pushing her dress into place between her legs to retain a smidge of modesty, while her other finds Erika's hand, holding it in a slightly awkward way.
Erika holds Mirriam's hand, smiling. Her modesty is less of a concern. "Good, though. Real good. Love you."
Mirriam squeezes Erika's hand, giggling. "Sure, ya too, cher."
Erika closes her eyes, squeezing back. "We should probably eat something when we can get up."
Mirriam giggles, squeezing back. "If we can get up, cher~" They do, eventually, actually have their picnic. It just takes them a little while to rise from the afterglow in the warm sun.
