That's Not a Tail
"Ah, why am I..." feeling so drained? Had she been masturbating too much lately? Ever since she first started sliding her fingers inside her pussy, she had spent her days practically addicted to it, teasing her hymen over and over. Perhaps that was why her body felt so heavy and sluggish. All she did all day was cook breakfast, lunch, and dinner, yet she felt utterly exhausted.
"Hmm..." A sudden, fleeting thought crossed her mind: Should I just tear my hymen open myself? After all, inserting her fingers only two or three folds deep, right in front of her hymen, yielded such limited pleasure. She was constantly flirting with Echidna, but the Lamia seemed far more sexually conservative than expected. At this rate, Roen was worried she wouldn't be able to wait and would end up popping her own cherry.
"Maybe I should ask Echidna to take a bath together." Not right away, of course, but she could playfully suggest they wash together sometime next week. When people saw each other naked, it naturally created a subtly erotic tension, a certain hehehe atmosphere that would make all sorts of feelings bubble up. It would be completely out of the question between men, but between women, this tactic might actually work.
"Yeah, let's start by asking Echidna to bathe together." Today, she added another strategy to her plan to seduce Echidna, then gulped down the potion sitting on the corner of the table. Now that she was used to it, she had increased the dosage to 100cc, drinking enough to fill a small teacup every single morning. The taste... wasn't bad. It tasted a bit like yogurt mixed with honey.
"Mnh, again..." Strangely, every time she drank it, she felt a throbbing ache down below. Still, she didn't think much of it. She had been masturbating so much lately, after all. Since her entire body had become highly sensitive, it was highly likely her nether regions were just reacting in tandem.
"It's been so distracting lately..." Her nipples, her pussy—every part of her body, top to bottom, had become incredibly sensitive. While masturbation provided temporary relief, she couldn't just spend all day playing with herself. It was frustrating, but at least she had found a temporary solution. For now, she would keep suppressing her boiling lust with self-pleasure while focusing her efforts on conquering Echidna.
"Since we're having grilled eel today." She would nourish her body with stamina-boosting grilled eel, soak in a hot bath with Echidna, rub their skin together, and gently touch her to satisfy her desires. She only needed to make do with masturbation until then. She placed the eel—which Echidna had bought, and which Roen had cut into bite-sized pieces and seasoned with salt—onto the grill grate and began cooking it over an open flame. The sight of the eel skin curling naturally as it absorbed the smoky flavor was mouthwatering. When she squeezed lemon juice over it, the flames flared up with a fierce hiss. Honestly, doing this left barely any lemon taste, but...
"Looks perfect." Her personal satisfaction as the chef was quite high. Grinning, she continued grilling the eel. Just as she finished preparing some grape juice to go with it, Echidna emerged right on cue and picked up her utensils. Watching her eat with relish made Roen feel quite pleased.
Around the time Echidna was eating the salted grilled eel Roen had prepared, feeling its characteristic warmth spreading through her body...
"A bath?"
"Yes, a bath. There are so many things I want to do with you, Echidna-nim." Even though they had finished eating, Roen, who had audaciously rested her hips against the sacred dining table and sat with her legs crossed on her chair, whispered seductively. "My burn treatment finished a few days ago, and I thought I could proudly show you the results, which is why I'm suggesting this."
"Aren't you embarrassed?" Honestly, Echidna was taken aback. As an intellectual, she knew that women loving other women was hardly a common occurrence. Well, if their relationship had been ordinary, she wouldn't have questioned it so deeply... but with her own guilty conscience, she couldn't help but react this way. And Roen...
"Why would I be embarrassed between women? In fact, aren't you curious too, Echidna-nim? To see how I've changed, when my entire body below my face used to be covered in red burn scars."
"That is..." Roen seduced Echidna, throwing a question she absolutely could not escape.
"I am curious..."
"Right?"
"Of course, this is strictly out of academic curiosity. As you know, after seeing your burn scars, I formulated and administered the appropriate remedy. Since you said you were recovering, I didn't press further. However, by seeing your bare body, I can confirm the efficacy of the burn treatment I created. That is why I want to see it. You understand what I mean, right? I'm sure you're smart enough to comprehend, Roen."
"Of course. I completely understand." Echidna was desperately defending herself, claiming she was only accepting the proposal out of pure curiosity, but...
I can see right through you, Echidna. No matter how hard you play hard to get, the moment I offer to show you my body, you're bound to follow me with drool dripping from your mouth. Roen was no fool. She simply couldn't make the absurd assumption that a penis lay hidden beneath Echidna's scales; she had instantly seen through the fact that Echidna wanted to see her body for sexual reasons.
"Then, whenever you'd like, shall we set aside some time to inspect my body together in the grand bath you mentioned before? I think it will be a wonderful time." Roen tilted her head slightly toward Echidna, casting a seductive smile from her slightly elevated angle.
"..." It was a smile that made even the dominant Echidna flinch slightly. No, rather than making her flinch...
Hngh, my cock is... It was the mesmerizing smile of a female driving a male into heat. Echidna felt as though she could no longer hold back.
"Roen."
"Yes?"
"Then I'll prepare the bath, so why don't you go rest in your room for a bit? I'll make us some drinks too."
"Alright, I'll look forward to the drinks you make, Echidna-nim." First, she sent Roen back to her room. With the perfect excuse of the host handling all the preparations, it wasn't difficult to dismiss her. Left alone, Echidna...
"Mixing a mild hallucination toxin with a mild sleeping poison... so she feels a pleasant, tipsy buzz like she's drunk..." Recalling various toxic formulas, she hooked her fangs over a glass cup from the cupboard. Then, squirt, squirt—as if squeezing out semen—she discharged the custom-blended poison into the glass.
"Now, if I just mix this into the leftover grape juice Roen made..." As if she had been waiting for this, she poured the poison into the grape juice left over from breakfast. Barely minutes after claiming she would make a fresh drink, Echidna simply dumped her toxins into the juice Roen had already prepared.
"I'll just say the juice tasted bad because I've barely ever cooked." She had more than enough excuses, so she felt completely fine either way. Though her scheme was truly devious, there was no one around to punish her for it.
"Yes!" The moment she returned to her room, Roen cheered as if she had been waiting for this exact moment. It worked. It really, truly worked.
"Hehe, that's right. No matter how much you play hard to get, you're just a submissive bottom in the end. I'm the alpha female here!" Echidna? The woman who hadn't budged an inch when Roen subtly laced their fingers, showed off her breasts, and tried all sorts of tricks had finally crumbled. She must have wanted to see Roen's naked body so badly; it was adorable how her eyes trembled as she rambled on, listing excuse after excuse for why she had to inspect her.
"Just you wait. I'll gently touch your bare skin while we bathe and make your body unable to live without me." She was confident. How many women had she rendered utterly dependent on her in the past? There was no way she couldn't corrupt a woman she was about to share a bath with.
"Once you get a taste of my technique, you'll never be able to run away." The female knight dispatched to inspect the Adventurers' Guild. The female mage who had asked for a local guide to find research materials. Every single one of them had fallen to her hand techniques, returning home with bodies that couldn't help but crave women. She would make Echidna the same way, and everything Echidna owned would become hers. Even Echidna herself. Therefore...
"Is there a bath towel? A bath towel? That would be perfect. I could wrap it loosely around my breasts, walk over, and let it slide off right in front of the tub." Yes, yes, that kind of presentation would definitely be the most erotic. Grinning, she searched the room to see if there were any bath towels or robes, scurrying around the space. But after a brief moment of searching...
"Mnh..." She shuddered slightly as white love juice leaked out from below once again.
"That was close..." She had almost climaxed right then and there, but luckily, she managed to hold it in. She was about to take a bath with Echidna; she couldn't afford to waste her energy so early.
