Julie ran her long fingernails through Amanda&#8217;s thick, red hair, staring at the beautiful curvy girl between her legs.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Unable to restrain herself any longer, Amanda opened her mouth to lick deep between Julie&#8217;s wet folds.\u00a0 Her now rough tongue dragged against the other woman.\u00a0 Julie shrieked, her gentle fingers in Amanda&#8217;s hair becoming a tight fist.\u00a0 The feel of a werecat&#8217;s tongue on her pussy was unlike anything she&#8217;d ever felt before.\u00a0 Her insane heat had nearly doubled with Amanda&#8217;s change and that, plus the woman&#8217;s cat-like tongue brought her instantly to the edge of an orgasm.\u00a0 It was almost too much for her exposed clit to handle.<\/p>\n<p>Amanda looked up at her friend.\u00a0 The woman&#8217;s face was slick with Julie&#8217;s juices and a thin string of the clear liquid briefly connected the two from Julie&#8217;s labia to Amanda&#8217;s cheek.\u00a0 Amanda&#8217;s expression was more animal than human as they stared at each other.\u00a0 Julie&#8217;s heart raced in her chest.\u00a0 <em>Was this how I was the first time? <\/em>She wondered.<\/p>\n<p>Small holes opened in the flesh above Amanda&#8217;s pink, full lips.\u00a0 The young woman stared up at her friend.\u00a0 Her human thoughts were drowned in the nearly deafening drumming of her own heartbeat and the rumble coming from her throat.\u00a0 The static in her brain became a high pitched roar that made it nearly impossible for her to focus on anything beyond the lightning arcing between every single nerve in her body.\u00a0 She felt more than alive.\u00a0 She wanted to run, to fight, to scream, to sing , to jump and push her core to its very limits.\u00a0 Anything was possible, her body whispered to her through the nearly drunken daze.\u00a0 She was flushed with the heat from the storm within and this enormous amount of energy was focused on one single thing:\u00a0 the need to mate.<\/p>\n<p>Amanda&#8217;s tongue made a slow circuit of her lips, tasting Julie&#8217;s sweet cum.\u00a0 Thick white whiskers pushed through the tiny holes on her face and the young woman moaned.\u00a0 Her canine teeth lengthened.\u00a0 Next to them, the front edges of her premolars slowly grew to points.\u00a0 Unable to resist the wondrous smells of another werecat in heat, Amanda bent back down to her friend&#8217;s wetness.\u00a0 The fur around Julie&#8217;s vagina was completely soaked and her blond fur lay flat against her slim body in thick, wet curls.\u00a0 Amanda gently opened her friend, exposing the pink wet flesh deep inside.\u00a0 Julie yowled softly above her friend, nearly begging her to bring her to orgasm.<\/p>\n<p>As Amanda bent to her friend, the skin on her top lip split, pulling up as her nose flattened further.\u00a0 Fuzzy red hairs grew among the whiskers of her face.\u00a0 Her jaw popped slightly, bones shifting and moving until Amanda&#8217;s face pushed out slowly into a small muzzle.\u00a0 The small red hairs continued to grow from her face out to her cheeks.\u00a0 Holding her friend&#8217;s pussy open, she licked deep within.\u00a0 Julie gasped, arching her back in response.\u00a0 Amanda&#8217;s tongue lapped at her friend&#8217;s juices.\u00a0 The other woman tasted incredible and, soon, Amanda found herself increasing her speed.\u00a0 The slow licks became faster and faster until she was frantic with the movement.\u00a0 Gentleness was abandoned and the young woman bit and licked and sucked between her friend&#8217;s legs.<\/p>\n<p>Julie shrieked as an orgasm tore through her body.\u00a0 She gasped, shuddering and shaking, trying to speak.\u00a0 &#8220;Too,&#8221; Julie swallowed.\u00a0 &#8220;Too much.\u00a0 St- oh god.\u00a0 Stop.\u00a0 Amanda!\u00a0 I- it&#8217;s- fuck!&#8221;\u00a0 Another orgasm dropped Julie onto her back and the woman hissed when she landed on her tail.\u00a0 She thrashed around but her friend held her tight with her claws.\u00a0 Julie lost herself in a torrent of pleasure.\u00a0 Her own experience with masturbating while changed was nothing compared to what she was experiencing now.\u00a0 She wasn&#8217;t sure if she was screaming or crying or cursing her friend; she lost herself in the moment, unable to process what was happening.<\/p>\n<p>Slowly, the world returned to Julie.\u00a0 She was flat on the floor, gasping.\u00a0 Her larger, furry breasts heaved as she took huge gulps of air.\u00a0 Her legs twisted out of control, clawing at the floor as they shook and trembled.\u00a0 When she tried to speak, nothing sensible came out.\u00a0 She felt drunk and lazy and sleepy.\u00a0 When her eyes were finally able to focus, she looked up.\u00a0 Amanda was on her knees, looking at her hands.\u00a0 Thick red fur marched up her arms and into the sleeves of her t-shirt.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This is incredible,&#8221; Amanda said.\u00a0 &#8220;I feel so alive.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;You killed me,&#8221; Julie croaked.\u00a0 &#8220;Oh my god, Amanda, that was amazing.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Amanda looked over at her friend.\u00a0 The young woman&#8217;s emerald green eyes narrowed into vertical slits. The light red, nearly orange fur that covered her face slowly grew longer until her cheekbones vanished beneath it.\u00a0 The woman&#8217;s red hair moved around her scalp while Julie watched.\u00a0 Two small furry tips appeared through the woman&#8217;s thick, curly hair.\u00a0 Further and further they grew until two large red and white cat ears stood proudly atop the woman&#8217;s head.\u00a0\u00a0 On the side of her face, her human ears were pulled flat against her skull.\u00a0 Slowly, her old ears vanished beneath the thick red fur of her short muzzle.\u00a0 Amanda reached up to touch her new ears gently.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Will,&#8221;

Julie mumbled.\u00a0 &#8220;I was- hold on.&#8221;\u00a0 Julie carefully hooked her claws around the wide band of Amanda&#8217;s bra.\u00a0 The woman&#8217;s back was now completely covered in red fur and the bra strap cut into the skin and fur along Amanda&#8217;s back.\u00a0 After fumbling for a moment, she unhooked all three hooks and let the bra fall to the ground.\u00a0 Amanda sighed.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Thank you.\u00a0 Oh.\u00a0 Oh, man.\u00a0 That&#8217;s&#8230; oh.\u00a0 They&#8217;re getting bigger.\u00a0 Julie, look.&#8221;\u00a0 Amanda turned to face her friend.\u00a0 Amanda&#8217;s large breasts sagged slightly but, as Julie watched, they became more full, tightening as they grew.\u00a0 &#8220;That feels incredible.\u00a0 Oh.\u00a0 Oh wow, Julie.\u00a0 I think-&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Julie kissed her friend, cutting off Amanda&#8217;s words.\u00a0 They both turned and twisted as their longer, sharper teeth scraped against each other.\u00a0 Finally, they found an angle that worked and their rough tongues rasped against each other.\u00a0 Julie dug her claws into Amanda&#8217;s thick ass, pulling her tight against her.\u00a0 She felt the other woman&#8217;s erect nipples pressed on her own breasts and she involuntarily rubbed against the other woman.\u00a0 She ran a clawed hand up Amanda&#8217;s back, scratching through the new red fur.\u00a0 Amanda broke from the kiss to rub her cheek against Julie&#8217;s face.<\/p>\n<p>Fine white and red hairs grew around the freckles between Amanda&#8217;s breasts.\u00a0 The woman&#8217;s tits had stopped growing but were now firm and tight and flared out to the side of her body.\u00a0 Beads of sweat ran down the side of her naked, hairless breasts.\u00a0 Julie kneeled in front of her friend, cupping the other woman&#8217;s huge breasts in her rough, padded hands.\u00a0 Julie opened her mouth wide to lick at Amanda&#8217;s thick, hard nipples.\u00a0 Amanda hissed in surprised before gripping at Julie&#8217;s short red hair.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;With- with-&#8221;\u00a0 Amanda stuttered.\u00a0 &#8220;It almost, oh god, feels like you&#8217;re biting me because of how rough your tongue is.\u00a0 It&#8217;s so different and wonderful.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The red fur from Amanda&#8217;s shoulders grew down in waves to the tops of her breasts.\u00a0 Julie felt small hairs tickling her whiskers and muzzle as Amanda&#8217;s fur continued to sprout.\u00a0 Julie slipped her right hand beneath Amanda&#8217;s panties while gripping the base of the woman&#8217;s growing tail with her other hand.\u00a0 She could smell the larger woman&#8217;s need.\u00a0 Julie moved her finger around until she felt the slick, puffy lips of the Amanda&#8217;s swollen pussy.\u00a0 She could feel the heat radiating from the other woman.\u00a0 The heat and the slickness of her skin from her sopping wet pussy.\u00a0 Amanda&#8217;s pubic hair was soft to the touch but, beneath that, Julie could feel the stubble of fur starting on her friend&#8217;s mound.<\/p>\n<p>It took every ounce of control for Julie to not plunge her finger into Amanda&#8217;s slippery opening.\u00a0 The other woman rocked her hips in encouragement but Julie moved against her, refusing.\u00a0 Her claws would tear Amanda apart.\u00a0 Julie took Amanda&#8217;s fat nipple fully into her mouth as she rubbed against Amanda&#8217;s clit.\u00a0 The other woman jerked, losing her rhythm temporarily.\u00a0 Amanda&#8217;s engorged clit stood free from its hood and Julie tried to rub it as gently as she could with the slightly rough padding on the bottom of her finger.\u00a0 Her long claw slid between Amanda&#8217;s slick lips.<\/p>\n<p>Amanda&#8217;s tail thickened in Julie&#8217;s grasp as it lengthened.\u00a0 She felt short fur blooming simultaneously from Amanda&#8217;s tail and around her pubic hair.\u00a0 The fur around Amanda&#8217;s pussy lengthened into thick red fur, longer than the fur covering her body.\u00a0 The new fur mixed with the juices from Amanda&#8217;s pussy until the woman&#8217;s scent hung heavily in the air.\u00a0 Amanda&#8217;s wide hips and soft belly vanished beneath a sudden, quick growth of red fur with small white streaks.\u00a0 The woman mewled under Julie&#8217;s attentions, her breathing becoming short and quick.\u00a0 Amanda&#8217;s huge furry red breasts heaved as the woman dug her claws into the wall behind her.<\/p>\n<p>The red werecat tried to speak but, instead, cried out with an animalistic yowl as she came.\u00a0 A thin stream of clear liquid gushed from Amanda&#8217;s pussy as her legs gave out.\u00a0 She crashed to the floor before Julie could catch her.\u00a0 Julie looked down at the other woman. Amanda&#8217;s brilliant green eyes were unfocused as she panted, her pink tongue laying against lips nearly hidden behind the red fur of her muzzle.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;That&#8217;s&#8230; that&#8217;s&#8230;&#8221; Amanda gasped.\u00a0 &#8220;Completely&#8230; different.\u00a0 From.\u00a0 Any.\u00a0 Sex.\u00a0 I&#8217;ve ever had.\u00a0 It just.\u00a0 The heat.\u00a0 Makes.\u00a0 Everything different.\u00a0 More heightened.\u00a0 Live wires.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Julie crouched in front of her friend.\u00a0 The claws from her toes scraped quietly against the floor as her tail flicked to help her maintain balance. \u00a0She honestly missed her tail when she changed back to human.\u00a0 Sometimes she caught herself being ungraceful because she expected her tail to counterbalance her.\u00a0 She loved the weight of it and the way it looked on her.\u00a0 Many a night of the full moon were spent holding her tail or standing in front of a mirror, looking at herself and her tail.\u00a0 Julie placed her left leg in between Amanda&#8217;s legs.\u00a0 Amanda looked up in mildly dazed confusion.\u00a0 Holding Amanda&#8217;s thick, furry leg against her body, Julie lowered herself down.\u00a0 Amanda&#8217;s eyes bulged in understanding.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Wait.\u00a0 Wait, not yet.\u00a0 Not-!&#8221;\u00a0 Amanda cried out as Julie pressed her clit against Amanda&#8217;s clit.\u00a0 Julie steadied herself before flexing her hips to grind herself on Amanda&#8217;s exposed, engorged pussy.\u00a0 Amanda threw back her head, short furry red muzzle open in a soundless scream.\u00a0 Contrary to her own words, Amanda flexed her body to press back against the smaller woman.\u00a0 She dug her claws into the ground as she rubbed back against Julie.\u00a0 After a few adjustments and false starts, the two women found the right position and rhythm.\u00a0 Wet curly red fur met wet blond fur, mixing and pulling as the two women rutted.\u00a0 Julie broke into a sweat, forcing herself to focus on standing and holding the other woman.\u00a0 She gasped and moaned and twisted as their pussies rubbed together.<\/p>\n<p>Julie&#8217;s orgasm came first and she almost dropped the other woman&#8217;s leg.\u00a0 Instead, she dug her claws into the other woman&#8217;s soft skin.\u00a0 She could feel her tail thrashing behind her.\u00a0 She wanted to break away but she knew from the sounds Amanda was making that the other woman was close.\u00a0 A smaller orgasm crackled through her belly and she pressed her muzzle against Amanda&#8217;s calf muscle.\u00a0 <em>If she doesn&#8217;t finish soon, I&#8217;ll-<\/em> Julie thought.<\/p>\n<p>Amanda&#8217;s hips bucked and, again, a stream of clear liquid spurted from her pussy when she squirted.\u00a0 Slivers of wood peeled away from the floor as Amanda&#8217;s claw-like fingernails dragged along the floor.\u00a0 The smell of her cum was heady and thick and consumed them both.\u00a0 Julie collapsed atop the larger woman.\u00a0 Bright sparks of light flashed in her vision as she caught her breath. She could smell nothing beyond their sex.<\/p>\n<p>Minutes passed until Julie realized that, finally, the heat that had consumed her was finally quiet.\u00a0 She felt incredibly aroused but only as a human and the difference was noticeable.\u00a0 The heat was undeniable but what she felt now was a simple pleasurable level of horniness.\u00a0 She found herself purring as she pressed her back into Amanda&#8217;s chest.\u00a0 She could feel the other woman&#8217;s racing heartbeat and the softness of her enormous tits and erect nipples.\u00a0 Amanda reached a furred arm around the smaller woman, cupping Julie&#8217;s left breast in a padded hand.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I didn&#8217;t know you squirted,&#8221;

are you mad at me?&#8221;\u00a0 Julie closed her eyes, not wanting to hear the answer.\u00a0 Silence stretched between the two.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I don&#8217;t think so.\u00a0 It didn&#8217;t hurt.\u00a0 In fact, it felt really fucking good.\u00a0 And you seem okay when you&#8217;re not&#8230;
