“Hi Alice, you look good.” I smiled into her concern.

  She gnced up at Xianta, even in her human disguise, the chaos demoness absolutely towered over the short pangolin woman and Alice quickly averted her eyes.

  “F-follow me.” She said, walking into the bar, her broad tail curled against her legs and she hunched more than usual. Fighting an instinct to curl up into a ball? We followed her to a booth in the back, right next to the dark hallway that led to the bathrooms and the emergency exit.

  “I’m fine,” I whispered and touched her arm as we took our seats.

  “Oops.” She giggled at Xianta, “Silly me, I forgot the menus. I’ll be right back.” Then scooted away towards the entrance.

  Xianta watched her go before shifting her attention to me. “I see why you like it here. It has a safe view on something you’ve wanted for a long time. And she has quite the lovely tail.”

  “Alice is a friend mistress.” I ughed nervously. “She doesn't need to be involved in our game.”

  “Oh pet,” She said as I felt the softness of her tail slither around my ankles. “The whole world’s involved with our game.”

  I opened my mouth to protest but stopped as Alice appeared at the edge of our table wearing a sunny smile and standing straight as her curved back allowed.

  “Sorry about that.” She shoved a menu up at me instead of plopping them on the table as usual. “ The specials today are a chicken bacon and blue burger. The soup of the day is spicy fish chowder. Can I getcha anything to drink?”

  Xianta asked what was on tap, while Alice ran through a list of twenty beers I opened the menu. Scrawled on the pstic, in jagged bck marker was: “If you need help order the special.” Then further down the page: “You smell like a Cat House Hussy!”

  I closed the menu with a cp and announced. “I’ll just have my usual Alice.”

  She stopped talking abruptly to stare up at me, worry breaking through the cheerful mask with the sag of her big ears. “You sure? The special’s a good burger. After all it looks like you’re been changing other things up.” Her eyes strayed to my nails. Something in her tone, the tender concern, touched not only my heart but redoubled ache in my loins. I squeezed my legs together but the pebble of my clit sandwhiched between my swollen pussy lips urged me to do more. I sucked wind through my teeth and swallowed.

  “Just my usual bacon and pineapple pizza.” I said, struggling to keep my tone neutral.

  “I’ll have the same and a coffee.” Xianta said.

  Alice’s gaze bounced between us, her nostrils fring. Then one shoulder raised in a half shrug and she straightened. “Sure, it will be out in a jiffy.” She gave a half bow to Xianta and hurried away.

  Xianta leaned back and spread her arm along the top of the booth seat, gazing around the bar. “Humanity is so interesting. You erect these barriers made of nothing but act as if they are impossible to break.”

  “What do you mean?” I asked, seizing on the conversation as the only avaible means to distract from the need between my legs.

  “Come around to my side pet,” She scooted deeper into the booth. I came around the table and again her illusion parted but she’d shrunk her body down to fit into the seat. She pulled me close so we sat hip to hip. From this side I could watch Alice bustle about the bar, expertly bancing trays on her clumsy looking hands, the shine of the fluorescent lights on her broad scales. Her heavy tail swung behind her, occasionally cnging against a bar stool but often wrapping around a chair leg to move it out of the way. While she wore nothing fttering, a simple bck skirt and top with blue apron embzoned with the bar’s logo, she moved with a swing of her hips that empathized a quiet, confident femininity that combined with her big ears and expressive eyes that I had always found adorably sexy.

  “This is what I mean.” Xianta's hand slipped inside my skirt and stroked along my aching pussy. I bit my lip to hold in the whimper. “How many years have you lusted after her and not taken even a single step toward fulfilling that desire?”

  “It wouldn’t be a-approiate.” I gasped, squirming as Xiantia teased my folds with the lightest of touches. “And, she probably gets hit on multiple t-times a day. She doesn’t want me. I’m just a rrrregur.”

  “Is that what you think?” Xianta pulled her hand from me as Alice grabbed our drinks from the bar and headed in our direction.

  “Cheers,” Her eyes focused on me as she pced the drinking on the table. “Food will be out momentarily. If there is anything else I can help you with?”

  “Not at this time Dear but I do want to mention that my… date’s perfume is for you. Do you like it? Its always been there.” Xianta said.

  Poor Alice’s eyes widened, sucked in a deep breath as her eyes widened. She whirled around and her tail hit the booth seat with a bang so loud that everyone in the bar flinched. “S-sorry!” She squeaked to everyone nearby and ducked into the kitchen.

  “Mistress please, leave her alone.” I whispered, feeling hot humiliation run down my spine. I must smell so dirty to Alice, like a feral animal.

  “Just watch pet.” Xianta soothed. Alice reappeared, delivering two pizzas without word, her ears seemed to be a darker hue than before. I dug into my pizza using it to fulfill a small portion of my hunger but most of me wanted something very different. Meanwhile Alice returned to her more general duties but kept stealing gnces our way. “Look how her tail’s raised a little higher and note the slightly wider stance.” As Xianta pointed out these things, Alice corrected them and as soon as she stepped away from the table she’d been talking to, the little pangolin woman shot Xianta a gre.

  My stomach dropped, oh no. She could hear us? The bar’s music wasn’t as loud but surely it would muffle our quiet conversation. Did that mean… that she’d heard every conservation that Freddy and I had in this bar?

  Conversations repyed, Woo, she’s got a wriggle butt today. You think she buffs her armor? How many breasts do you think are under that apron? Had she heard all that too? Embarrassment cwed at my insides as I imagined myself shrinking away to nothing. Yet my curse pussy bzed hot, my thighs so saturated that everything between them felt slick. I tried to slip under the table but Xianta’s firm grip on my waist stopped me.

  Careful pet, you’re working yourself up into a full on heat. Xiatha spoke directly into my mind. When she comes over, you will despence of these barriers and ask her to fuck you in anyway she wants.

  “Mistress! N-” I swallowed back the refusal in the nick of time. “I’m nothing to her.”

  Think pet, she can smell how powerful I am and yet she was willing to oppose me on your behalf. That’s far from nothing. It is worth the ask. She can refuse but if you ck this basic bravery then you’re more useful to me as a simple breeding tiger. She chuckled and stroked my burning cheek.

  I trembled, the heat burned on. It wasn’t as bad as it had been in Xianta’s throne room but it took almost all my concentration to keep my hands above the table. I watched my nails peel up curls of wood from the table top.

  “Will there be anything else?” Alice’s voice rang through the haze. I looked over to here to find her strained smile, ears blushing, her chest rising and falling.

  My jaw bounced up and down several times before I found the shape of the words. “Alice, please. All this time I’ve been… I need, I want you to…” The f word seemed to demanding, sex me? No. “Take me. Anyway you want to. Take me. Please.” I reached out and to my surprise she took my hand, enveloping it in her scaled mitt and squeezing it gentle.

  She looked up to Xianta, “Anyway I want?”

  “So long as it occurs in this room.” Xianta said.

  “In front of all these people?” She asked, gring into my mistress’s pleased smile.

  “They will remember it only as a dream.”

  “You fey have a lot of nerve.” She snorted hard through her snout and then yanked me out of the booth. “Gavin stand up and stay there till I get back.”

  I watched her stomp into the kitchen, blinking stupidly and wondering what the hell she gone to fetch. She swiftly returned with a folding stool in hand. I chuckled weakly as she set it in front of me. Then stopped immediately when she stepped up onto hit me with a gre that probably caused heart implosions in small mammals at eye level. She seized my shirt and hauled me up to my tippy toes, bringing my nose to her snout.

  “Why. Didn’t. You. Listen to me!?” Shook me with every biting word. “I warned you! Told you to y low! Now you come in smelling so goddamn sexy I want to stick my snout in you and dig for vegetables. On the arm of a dy who smells like pixie dust mixed with nitro no less. You brought a fey lord or something into my bar!”

  “Well…” Xianta started.

  “Butt out!” Alice snapped and bore her many teeth. “You told me to do this anyway I want so I’m doing that!”

  Those spade-like cws grabbed hold of my jaw before I could look at my Mistress’ expression and force me to look at Alice’s fiery dark eyes. I’d never ever seen her more than slightly irritated before and now she radiated a righteous rage.

  “Look at me Gavin. I’m clumsy, ugly, I have satellite dishes for ears and people wonder if I carry disease. Whatever she’s offered you, she’ll never give it to you.” She seethed into my face.

  “But I always thought you were pretty Alice.” I mumbled.

  “Narrgh!” She grabbed my shoulder, spun me around and smmed me onto the table. Her strength was unreal. Fabric tore and my skirt fluttered down around my ankles. My tail, freed of its confines, sprang upwards. “My gods Gavin. What have you let her do to you?” Her cws squeezed my ass before briefly tracing the outline of my pussy. “And look at the size of this. You could lose a guinea pig in that. Oh and your dripping all over the floor.”

  “Alice?” I asked, gnce over my shoulder in time to see her grab my tail, pull it straight up while her other hand swept back in a clear wind up motion. “Alice!? What are you-”

  The second hand swept forward, impacting my ass, pain shot through my body and I yowled along with the solid WHAM of the table against the wall.

  “That’s for not listening to me! And this is for dragging me into this.”

  WHAM! I cried out in pain, her rge hand delivering the force of a wooden paddle and then some. Various neurons fired together connecting the fact that I was being spanked, in public by a woman I’d been crushing on for over a year.

  “I’m sorry!” I whimpered, the crawling humiliation only added more heat to my fiery need. “Alice Ple-”

  WHAM! Another smack cut me off, the stinging pain brought tears to my eyes. “Thats for talking about me as if I’m fucking zoo animal!”

  “Sorry! I didn’t know you could hear!” I pleaded.

  “These ears hear everything in this bar,” She hissed, “Especially if its about me. Everything! This is for ughing when I knock stuff over.”

  WHAM!

  The impact brought stars to my vision and I filled the room with another feline yowl. “And this is flirting with me for years and never asking for my number.”

  WHAM!

  “Sorry!” I cried. “I thought you and Freddy would-”

  WHAM!

  “Freddy only flirts with me to distract himself from you. You oblivious pussy!”

  My mind hitched, an image of Freddy concerned face insisting I call him rose as I blinked through my teary eyes. When I’d kissed him, he’d kissed back. “What?”

  “How do you not know that? I can smell him all over you!”

  “I just-”

  WHAM! WHAM! WHAM! The rapid blows rocked me forward and back against the table, grinding my nipples across its surface. The heat increased to the point my thoughts were dancing on the surface of a molten ke. On the st blow I arched up from the table with a breathless scream.

  “And that’s for getting him rolled up in this too. You stupid… man… cat hussy.” She panted.

  Wham! A softer smack nded but my thoroughly tenderized ass still screamed and yowl cwed its way up my throat.

  “I wouldn’t mind a boring mate. Spending five years as Mab’s personal garden bitch was enough for me.” She said.

  “You could have assk-”

  “We’re not talking about me pussy cat.”

  WHAM! She smmed me with renewed strength, the pain over flowed and the ke of fiery need rose.

  “Pussy is sorry!” I whimpered. “Please fuck pussy.”

  WHAM! She said something but I lost the words, they fell into the ke of need.

  “Please.”

  WHAM!

  “Please.”

  Wham!

  “Please.”

  A new sensation stirred me to a semi awareness. Something grabbed my ankle and rolled me onto my back. Alice stood over me, watching me with half lidded eyes, long pink tongue hanging over her bottom lip and the corners of her muzzle up turned in a lusty smile.

  “You wanna know how many breasts I have? Whether or not my pussy is armor pted too?” She grabbed the front of her apron and with a single motion, tore off her clothing as if it were tissue paper. Deeply tanned skin covers a muscur, nippleless chest. Instead six small breasts in three rows poked out of her belly. Below them, nestled within a nest of sparse white fur, sat a vivid pink slit, a sensitive jewel hidden in her powerful body.

  “Now you know.” She said, falling to her knees and straddling my left leg. Her armored arms embraced my other leg as our sexes kissed. The touch was like ice sizzling on hot metal. I widened my legs for her but she needed no assistance, slipping her tail beneath my spine to improve the angle to maximize contact between us. Her juices mingled with mine, bringing explosions of pleasure and relief with every rock of her hips.

  She gave occasional squeaks of bliss as she clung to my leg and we climbed together toward release. Our orgasms approached as two electric charges slowly pulling each other closer.

  “Oooh!” Alice gasped suddenly as we drew close to that edge. “You're one of those. Take my ears. Let you hear all the whispers about you for once.”

  “Wha?” I asked but she increased the pace of her grind and I could only mow helplessly as we plunged into an orgasm. Electric pleasure ripped between us and I heard a painful pop on either side of my skull.

  Then it ended, the familiar wave of warmth washed through my body, rexing every muscle.

  Alice let out a heavy sigh and slowly stood. A single strand of wetness stretching between our two sexes. Her ears had shrunk, still cupped and pointed but more human proportioned to her head. She touched them tentatively with a cw as silence filled the bar.

  The first sound to break that silence was the flesh on flesh sound of a cp.

  “Bravo.” Xianta voice boomed. “Now that’s a show.”

  “Oh gods.” Alice whispered.

  I sat up to see that everyone in the bar had gathered to form a wall of spectators around the booth. My heart did a little flip flop in my chest as I scanned their various expressions of revulsion, shock and arousal. I closed my legs, sat up and tried to cover myself with my hands.

  Xianta continued to appud. “Come on mortals. Show your appreciation. Cp.”

  Everyone’s hands rose and started to putting palm to palm. Several of them looked at their hands in confusion but still the sound of the appuse rose. A few whooped.

  “Now sleep.” Xianta commanded, the cpping stopped abruptly as everyone heads tilted to the side, their eyes closed. “Return to where you were and when you wake up you will believe this show to be a nice dream.” Xianta snapped her fingers and everyone shuffled away dispersing into the bar. Alice watched them all go with flush cheeks and ears while I slipped down back to Xiantha. She welcomed me with an affectionate pat on my head and traced the outline of one of my changed ears. They felt velvety.

  “That was clever Miss Alice. Foisting your curse onto my pet. They haven’t learned how to be picky about what they take yet.” Xianta said.

  “I’ll be gd to be free of it.” Alice jumped down to the floor with a loud thud. She walked toward the dark hallway that led to the rear exit.

  “Alice?” I called out as her tail was about to disappear from view. She paused but didn’t step back.

  “Thank you.” I said.

  “A little magic is always fun Gavin.” She replied beneath her breath but I heard her perfectly. “But it always costs more than you realize. When your games are done and if you can keep that scent to yourself feel free to look me up. Till then though, I’d appreciate it if you and your new mistress stayed away from me.” Her footsteps resumed and I listened until I heard the distant sound of squeaky hinges.

  Xianta purred to herself besides me and gave a little tug on my colr.

  “Come pet. We should also be getting home. There are lessons you must learn.”

  After stepping out the bar with Xianta she drove us back to my apartment and the next thing I’m aware of is my arm ringing far too loud in my ears. Yet I’m not in my bed. Instead I’m standing in front of the mirror looking at a face that took me a few seconds to recognize as my own. The two rounded feline ears that twitched on either side of my head wasn’t what threw me off either. Rather my lips had turned bck and my cheek exhibited a fullness that I’d never had before.

  I turned from the mirror feeling unsettled, I’d thought I’d have more time before the changes reached my face. Felt unfair for them to jump like that. I traced a glyph in the air with the tip of a nail, it pulse once. My work clothes manifested around me, hip hugging blue jeans and cheeky T-shirt featuring a cute tigress telling the viewer to talk to the paw. Unfortunately, my nails needed attention, the cobalt blue paint had chipped and cracked. On the counter I found a rainbow of nail polishes, a few colors of lipstick and a note:

  You were a very good pet st night. Be sure to treat yourself today.
