A Fox's Maid (Sample)

Some Things Change, Others Stay the Same, Part 1

Lilian awoke to the new day with a smile.

Sitting up in Kevin's bed, the sheets falling away from her vivacious frame, she stretched her arms high above her head, her exertions accompanied by cute noises that would have knocked Eric Corrompere out cold had he been present to hear them.

"It's a good thing Eric isn't here," Lilian said, seemingly to herself, even as she groaned from the pleasant sensation of her muscles stretching taut.

The neck of her shirt―it was actually one of Kevin's, but he had given it to her―slid off her shoulders to reveal silky smooth skin. She absently slid the neckline back up before looking out the window. It was a beautiful day outside; the sky was a clear, light blue, and the sun was shining down upon the earth with its radiant beams of light. It was the perfect day for her and Kevin to go out and do something fun.

Speaking of Kevin...

Lilian looked down at the floor to see her beloved mate―or the person who she hoped would one day become her mate. Kevin was in his sleeping bag, lying on his back. She could see his chest rising and falling at a slow, steady and reassuring pace. His breathing was deep and even, a sure sign that he was sleeping heavily.

Crawling out of bed with ninja-like stealth, Lilian made her way to Kevin's prone form until she was literally on top of him. Her body lightly straddled his; she didn't apply enough pressure to wake him, but even so, she could still feel the natural heat that his body emitted. She missed sleeping with that heat, but knew she could get it back soon. Lindsay was officially out of the running for his heart, and the only other person she had to contend with was that tsundere goth loli. It was no contest.

Leaning down, she pressed her lips to his forehead. Her tails also moved forward and gently poked his temples. The two fluffy appendages glowed a whitish yellow for a brief moment, before the light faded.

She leaned back and smiled. The enchantment she had cast would be enough to ensure that he continued sleeping―at least until she finished preparing everything that she needed to wow and impress him.

The kiss was not a necessary part of the enchantment. She just kissed him because she wanted to.

After getting off her chosen mate, Lilian made her way to the bathroom, where she took a very brief shower.

She would have normally taken her time getting clean. Like most kitsune, Lilian enjoyed the finer things in life, which included long hot showers and even longer baths. One of her many guilty pleasures was sitting under the spray of the shower, allowing the hot droplets to run down her body and soothe the muscles in her back―or lounging in the hot bath, letting the soothing heat soak into her body and lull her into a sense of contentment. She couldn't do that today. There were several very important things that she needed to do, and she wanted to accomplish them as quickly as possible. The sooner they were completed, the better.

The first item on her list was choosing something to wear that would catch Kevin's attention. Before now, all of the clothes she'd worn were sexy little numbers, their sole purpose being to send men into a state of aroused delirium. They were the kind of clothes that emphasized her inhumanly beautiful body and generous proportions.

It had become increasingly obvious to her that those kinds of outfits wouldn't work on Kevin. It wasn't that he didn't like seeing her in them―she had seen very convincing evidence that he did, indeed, enjoy seeing her in them―but that he simply couldn't handle her sexy outfits... yet. She was positive that would change if she gave him a few more months to accept and return her love. She just needed to be patient.

Nodding to herself, she entered their bedroom while wearing nothing but a towel and rummaged through the dresser where she kept all of her nightwear.
