bare, white skin and so smooth.\u00a0 She&#8217;s shaking and her fingers fumble with her buttons, starting at the top.\u00a0 I watch, feeling myself grow hard as the third button shows her cleavage.\u00a0 The fourth comes undone and she hisses in frustration.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Rather than waiting to undo the rest, she pulls and the button pop free to show a slim, thin bra on her toned frame.\u00a0 She&#8217;s blushing furiously.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I can smell her arousal and I&#8217;m just a mostly normal human.\u00a0 She&#8217;s soaked through her slacks and she&#8217;s slowly writhing on her hips as her body tells her what it wants her to do.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">She rolls her head and I see a faint trail of black fur along her shoulders and down the nape of her neck.\u00a0 She drops to her hands and knees and comes to me, swaying her hips in an exaggerated fashion until her head is between my knees.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Gently, she places her hands on my knees.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I can feel her warmth but I let her do what she needs.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;I can&#8217;t stop myself,&#8221;

she moans, pushing herself up with her hands to kiss my lips.\u00a0 She forces her tongue into my mouth and then nuzzles her soft, furred cheek against mine.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When she sits back on her heels, her face is nearly completely consumed by the fur.\u00a0 It&#8217;s short but growing longer where it first grew. I brush her whiskers with my thumb and she closes her eyes.\u00a0 Her throat vibrates in a deep purr that startles her.\u00a0 She grab at her throat and then touches her skin carefully to feel the fur that&#8217;s spreading down from her chin.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Her hand touches my crotch but she stops to look for permission and I nod.\u00a0 Her fingers are awkward but she unzips me and her purr returns when she sees my hardened cock.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;Oh, god, I don&#8217;t- I don&#8217;t know-&#8221; she says, starting at it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Her hand reaches out and she strokes me gently.\u00a0 She turns her wrist and I see pink forming just beneath her fingers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;I&#8217;m a-&#8221; she swallows. &#8220;I&#8217;m a virgin.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I reach forward, gently running my hand through her hair and her purr grows louder.\u00a0 Pulling her hair back, I see the tips of her ears growing to sharp points.\u00a0 They thin as they move and, when I touch them, they flick.\u00a0 I pull her towards me and feel her hot breath on my cock.\u00a0 She kisses it, unsure of herself and I nod again.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Her hand cradles my dick and I move it up and down to encourage her.\u00a0 Her padding is growing out as she grips me softly.\u00a0 She groans and her tongue gives me a quick, explorative lick.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;Yes,&#8221;
