The Fox, Red

020 - A Reward From... Madam Delula?!

Under Delula's order, I return to the house where the badger guarding the door lets me through pointing me to a different door than Madam Odette's. There is a full guest bathroom attached to a second bedroom on the ground floor by the main entryway. I'm not allowed to sleep in that room but I am allowed to use the facilities to clean myself up.

It's not as spacious as Madam Odette's but nonetheless, it is massive compared to anywhere else. With my soap in hand, I turn on the almost immediate hot water and step into the room of a shower. Everything quickly fills with steam blurring all vision. It's relaxing. I've said it before but when you don't have something for a while and you get it back, you realize how nice it is. Hot, running water is a luxury for me and I'm not going to forget it from now on. Water never felt so nice.

It was a quick shower as I am not using my own water. Towels are waiting for me and I'm not sure if they were there before or not. I did forget clean clothes though. I'm going to have to walk out with just shorts on to the shed so I can get a fresh set. It's not cold yet but it's getting there. Summer has left but Autumn is not in full swing yet. The nights get crisp but not cold. Did Madam Odette plan it that way? If Delula had stayed the full time would I be shivering in the cold? Now I'm a little concerned.

At Delula's order, I return after I get myself cleaned off. I knock and she lets me know the door's unlocked. Walking in she's sitting on the bed facing me. She changed again to yet another robe-looking thing. But this is... different. It looks thinner. Softer? I can't quite tell. Is she getting ready for bed? Should I leave? I can't tell anymore.

I give a greeting while trying not to give away that I'm not understanding what's happening, "Good evening."

"Welcome back." She stands up and begins walking over, "Feel better?"

"I do."

"Good. Now Red, I have a couple more questions. What did you learn about me while you were learning?"

This is weird, "You have a different teaching style which is effective. You set high expectations of your students. I think you can plan for almost anything but I seemed to throw you off a bit."

"That you did. Want to know what I learned about you?"

"Um, sure."

"I learned that you are caring, efficient, not very outgoing but still try, and can wrap your head around just about anything." The tone in her voice changed, "Lady Odette warned me before I showed up that you were a special case and I believe her now."

As she spoke she got closer and closer. I didn't notice as I was more focused on what she was saying but now that she's so close I could reach and touch her I'm aware of the lack of distance. "Lady Odette told me about how you were able to impress her with your power." She begins rubbing my chest. Because she's a gecko it feels different than fur. It's not as fluffy and soft but more of a bare contact. "She likes power, someone who can best her in something, anything, everything. Me, on the other hand, I'm not so much of a physical person. I prefer a strong mind." Her hands start going from my chest up to my neck. "I prefer those who can talk their way into things." With her hands on my cheeks, I see her lean in. She's lulled me, I can tell, like a siren she used her words to distract me to get what she wanted. Her lips touch mine and before I know it her body is pressed close.

She releases me with a slight inhale, "You Red, truly are something amazing. I want you to show me more of what you can do." I'm not sure if I have control of myself at this point. I feel like I might but it still feels as though she has a hold on me of some kind. My paws move towards her stomach to spread out to her waist. I was right, the cloth is very thin and soft to the touch. It almost feels like when she touched me. As I rub my hands against her I notice something. My eyes catch hers the instant I realize it but so does she. Slowly she lifts one side of the robe while pulling down part of the top. With a bedroom smile she lets me know that under that robe, it's all her. And she is not afraid to show it off.
