Myka's Tail Ch. 04

"Sounds great," Kelli's dad replied. "Dan and I will also get to work on the initial run of the security proposal that you want too. At least I can say that we won't be bored for a while."

"I understand that," Stuart laughed in reply. "And don't forget to include your expenses report when you send over the eval. I want to make sure everything is covered, even if I can't use what you produce. Other than that, we'll see you tomorrow."

After Stuart and Kimberly left, the rest of my friends said their goodbyes and dribbled out slowly over the next thirty minutes or so. Kelli and I had a laugh that this gave Paul's crew time to enjoy one last beer before they got going, which they all did because they didn't have to drive anywhere.

"Myka, this is for you," Ali said as she tapped me on the shoulder before handing me a medium sized book bound in a dark, rich leather.

"Is this..." I questioned, while cradling the book to my chest like the most precious treasure.

"Yes Myka," she replied. "Remember to keep it safe. The enchantments on it will keep most others from reading it, but a sufficiently determined witch or warlock with enough power could break through them given enough time and patience. Millicent wanted me to make sure you understood that. I would also say that once you read it, you become another source for that knowledge so really think about who you tell."

"We'll be careful Ali," I said, including Kelli in my comment. "You have our promise."

Jessica appeared to be leaving with Ali, and if I had not had the sense of the bonds the two were forming I would not have seen that they were doing their best to keep the fact that they were trying to hold hands a secret. I almost decided to let them go without at least calling them on it a little. Almost.

"So Jess, you aren't leaving with your brother and the others," I asked with exaggerated innocence, and I was rewarded with a head to toe blush.

"Umm, no," she replied, her voice barely above a whisper. "Ali was going to take me home with her and Gina"

"Well that should be an entertaining ride," I replied, and then lowered my voice so that only Jess and Ali could hear. "You take care of each other, ok?"

They were given one last hug and a kiss on the cheek so that they knew I was nothing but happy for them. I also pulled Kass aside and let her know that I had some reading and thinking to do about who and what I was, but that I would keep in touch. Once I had either confirmed or eliminated some of my suspicions then she, Kelli and I would sit down for a long talk about ourselves and Paul. And because I was feeling a bit cheeky, Kass left with her own hug and a very light and completely unseen and unexpected kiss on her lips. I also got a nice giggle out of the fact that the kiss had left her unsteady enough on her feet that Paul asked her what was wrong as they were leaving.

Finally everyone but our family had gone, and despite the protests that I was the birthday girl and shouldn't have to help, both Kelli and I had a marvelous time talking with our parents during the cleanup. Some of our conversation did drift back to why someone wanted to buy up a bunch of the land around here, and why they wanted to keep it hidden from us, but the rest was just mundane talk between family members.

"So, are you guys going back tonight," dad asked Kelli and I after he put the last of the dishes away. "Or are you going to stick around for the rest of the weekend."

"We aren't going back tonight dad," I replied. "But Kelli and I are going to grab a few things here in a minute and we are going to spend the night in our clearing. Also, we won't be taking our phones or much else, but we should be back in time for breakfast."

"Sound's great. Do you want us to bring anything out to you later, if you get hungry or something?"

"Um dad," I said, and I could see everyone else there almost sighing and shaking their heads. "Kelli is my girlfriend and I'd really love to be alone with her in that clearing. We spent Valentine's night together there, it's one of the most romantic spots that I know of..."

"Oh Jesus Dan," mom cried out in exasperation, while everyone else was stifling laughter. "You are so dense sometimes, and it makes me wonder how we ever ended up with a child."

"What? What did I say?"

"Let me spell it out for you my dear, dear husband and I will be as clear as I can. Unless it is an end of the world kind of emergency you will not set one foot in that forest tonight, because if you do then you will certainly get more than an eye full of what is going to happen between our daughters there. Now if you are really good, I can take you upstairs later and show you some of what will probably be happening."

Kelli and her dad were laughing out loud now and both of our mothers were shaking their heads at my dad's continued cluelessness. I had always loved my dad, but it was amazing how often he showed a blistering naiveté. Within a few moments it became clear that my dad had finally gotten the picture and we all burst into more laughter because his face had gone completely pale.

"Oh my god, little girl," he breathed in embarrassment. "I didn't even think about that. I am so sorry for pressing to get details."

"I'm sure they forgive you," mom said as she put her arms around dad and steered him into the family room. "Now let's watch a movie with Steve and Amanda while the girls go and celebrate Myka's birthday."

Kelli and I were still chuckling about dad fifteen minutes later when we came upstairs with the small bag she had packed for the evening. He had a good heart and always took the ribbing that we sometimes all gave him with good natured humor. We stopped in and said good night to our parents, and I could tell from the pulses that were moving over the emotional bonds I could see that Kelli and I were probably not the only ones getting lucky tonight.

It was a nice clear evening with the sun low in the sky, just an hour or so from setting, and it was one of the most pleasant experiences to be walking there, hand in hand with my love. There was no need to talk, and not just because we were so tightly bound to each other. It was the kind of moment shared by all lovers that give reason to why nearly all people want to fall in love. Soon enough, we were at one of the trees that I regularly stashed my clothes at, and I began to undress without even thinking about it.

What little I was wearing slid over my skin in a smooth and silent motion, and I made sure to exaggerate my movements for Kelli's benefit. My shirt came off with a long stretch that had my hands reaching as far as they could over my head which caused my naked breasts to bounce gently out in front of my chest as if defying gravity itself.

The shorts I had on were really not that tight over my hips, but I still made as if I had to rock back and forth like a bell in order to get the cloth to slide down over my curves. I stepped out of the leg holes once the shorts had hit the ground, and I made sure to bend over and keep my legs straight while removing my shoes so that my weeping pussy would be thrust into prominence for my sweet Kelli.

After my brief show I turned around to give Kelli a kiss before I ran off like I would normally do, but what I saw took my breath in a shocked gasp. I had certainly seen Kelli without clothes so I really should not have been that surprised, but sometimes a moment catches you so off guard that it happens anyway. The sunlight was streaming through the trees in just such a way that it made the space immediately around her body glow with an almost holy light. She looked to me like a goddess with hair made of scintillating fire, and I could feel the flow of my lubricating juices start to drip down my legs.

"I was wondering if, well..." and Kelli played the shy, virginal lover to perfection. "Would you mind walking with me the rest of the way so that you can show me what you see and feel out here that I don't understand?"

"Of course I will my love," I whispered to her with lust and promise in my voice. "You need only ask."

I pressed my body up against hers and let the scorching heat from our mutual arousal dance over our nude forms. My lips met hers in a kiss of passion that soon parted the small space between so that our tongues could once again dance the timeless lover's dance. And at the height of that sensual interlude I took Kelli's hand and led her off into our forest and opened our bond up so that she could at least feel some of my new world.

With her hand in mine I walked Kelli through the woods we had both walked a thousand times, but now she could feel my deep emotional connection to the earth. I pointed out birds, insects and flowers that she probably would not have noticed without me there. I also taught her to listen, feel and smell to get a complete picture of the world around her. I didn't expect her to be able to match my level of sensitivity, but she was grateful for the experience.

"Please, can we avoid the pond tonight," Kelli pleaded with me as we walked into the clearing. "I just don't want to have to be smeared with mud and dirt all night tonight."

All I could do was giggle as I moved with lightning fast speed and dug a handful of moist earth up from the ground and smeared it across Kelli's breasts with a gentle laugh. Through our bond I felt mostly surprise, but there was also a tiny bit of hurt that came through and I made sure to make amends right away.

"My love," I whispered to her while silencing her lips with my clean finger. "I would never do anything to antagonize or hurt you, and I have enough control to be able to do this."

I concentrated for a moment and felt the minor amount of mastery I had over the element of earth come into focus. I waved the hand I had used to muddy Kelli's chest over the smear that I had caused, and within a few seconds the dirt had dried up and drifted off as if it had never been there.

"We don't need to worry about getting dirty out here now," I said and took her hand once again. "Now come and bathe with me. I love the feel of your skin when it's wet."

Kelli seemed to be ok with my slight prank, and I could sense questions as well as wonderment about my elemental affinity coming across our connection. That was not what I was concerned with, however. I maneuvered the two of us into the part of the pond where we could submerge, and I wrapped my arms around Kelli as I pushed us both beneath the rippling surface of the water. We only stayed under for a few moments, but I used that short amount of time to push through the water while I stroked her back with my fingernails.

We surfaced near a large rock that sat near one end of the pond, its domed surface jutting out of the water like a mushroom. Once I had pushed Kelli's hair back and let the water run out of her eyes so that she could see again, I forced her back against the hard curved surface and locked my lips to hers. I was done waiting, and the aggressive nature of my inner cat decided it was time I had what was mine.

Kelli was rubbing her hands up and down my sides, caressing my damp flesh as I used my hands to practically maul her sensitive breasts. When our tongues weren't trying to one up each other, my grabbing hands pulled moan after moan from her throat which pushed my desire to new heights.

Between Kelli's moaning, and my rumbling purr, I am sure that we had scared off any animals that might have been close by. I was trying to hold back a little but eventually I gave up and thrust my hand under the water as I felt for her sex with eager anticipation. I also wanted to be clear with what I wanted and so I used my other hand shove Kelli's into my waiting pussy.

The moment we simultaneously penetrated each other's depths with a pair of fingers, it caused a loud groan of pleasure to spill out of our mouths from around our tongues. The thrusting of our fingers and the quivering of our heated bodies created the most delicious friction within our cores and between our stiffened nipples. This was not a time to be slow, not a time to savor the slow burn of a gently reached orgasm. This was primal. It had come deep from within our animal instincts, and the result was a very rapid, and very satisfying finger fuck.

In and out we pushed, and eventually two fingers was just not enough for either of us. Both Kelli and I added a third digit as we continued to pound our hands into the waiting folds of our most intimate spaces. Thrust, thrust, thrust. On and on it went. I wasn't sure if it was the bond, or if we had just started to think too much alike, but our thumbs managed to jab down on our clits within an instant of each other. The resulting jolt of pleasure caused the both of us to rise up on our toes, and we both hissed in a near overload of sensation at our impending release.

Finally, with the insistent thrumming of our clits, and with the rake of our fingers over the other's g-spot, the burning fire of our climax washed over the both of us. Kelli and I shuddered together as our minds fell into that state of bliss that happens when every nerve center in the body fires at once. After a few minutes of holding onto the other we were finally able to move and breathe again.

An hour later we found ourselves at rest against a mound of earth I had raised up and covered with a bed of clover that caressed our nude forms like silk sheets. Kelli had her back resting against the mound and I was leaned back against her chest with her legs wrapped around my waist. She had conjured up a few floating orbs that gave off a soft glow that provided a romantic ambiance to our grove. I had been reading from the book that Millicent had sent with Ali, while Kelli combed her fingers through my hair and tail as she hummed softly for the both of us.

"So, there's been a couple of things that have bothered me lately," I said, after marking my page and setting the tome aside. "Did you know that Kassidy feels as drawn to us as much as Paul still does?"

"Wait a minute," Kelli replied in confusion. "You think Paul is still drawn to us? I mean, I could understand a lingering attraction after the fun we all had, but he's with Kass now."

"Yeah, but something has always seemed strange to me," and I emphasized my concern with a gentle rub to her thigh. "You know I see the emotional bonds that form between people, especially friendship and love."

"Yes sweetie, you've told me several times about the shining golden cords that connect people to each other. What does that have to do with Paul and Kass?"

"When we first met Kass at the bar a couple years ago, I saw that there was already some bonds forming between her and Paul, and I was thrilled. What confused me was a set of flickering, very weak bonds that were connecting the two of them to the both of us."

"Wait, what?"

"Yeah. We were tied by emotional bonds to the both of them on the day we met her."

"Why didn't you tell me this before sweetie," Kelli asked, and the concern in her voice made me realize that perhaps I had made a mistake.

"Well, at the time I was still kind of new to the ability and I wasn't sure what it meant. Then all of the shit went down in Scotland, and I had a ton of other things on my mind. I always knew that they would get together, but I never guessed that we might still have any sort of connection."

"So, clearly you have been thinking about it," she prodded. "What kind of conclusion have you come up with? Or haven't you come up with one?"

"That was one of the reasons I asked Ali for information earlier, and she told me Millicent wanted me to have this," and I indicated the leather bound book. "It has a ton of information in it about Neko and I think that pretty much most of the circle, and maybe witches in general, have everything wrong about them."

"What have you found," Kelli asked, and her voice betrayed her excitement.

"There's too much to really deal with in one sitting, which means I have a lot of reading to do. But the book, which reads like a history written by a Neko, mentions the Greater Aspects and the Lesser Aspects. And all of the aspects are based on things like the elements, strong emotions, and some are more conceptual."

"Alright. And we were told you were the Aspect of Love. And Cassandra explained as best she could what that meant. And I think we have worked out that we are going to be ok with having to share you with others."

"That's the frustrating part," I argued. "I don't feel like that was correct. Other than Paul I have not felt drawn to anyone else's bed by my Neko nature. The other night with Cassandra was nice at first, but I think it was because we both chose to do it."

"What about Jessica," Kelli asked. "The date that happened the night I had with Paul?"

"That I felt compelled to do, but it was more to give her experience rather than an actual date. Did you notice how tied she is to Ali now?"

"Oh my god! I didn't even see that, but it makes so much sense!"

"I know, right. Anyway, from what I can gather from what I just read in the last hour, my aspect seems more like being able to see and manipulate the ties of love and friendship rather than about sex and bedmates. I think Cassandra got it wrong, or, didn't have all of the correct information."

"So why did Millicent have the book that explained that, yet she didn't let the other Circle members know?"

"I can't say for sure, but she may have seen a future that required it be kept secret. I mean, if Mathias or the Betrayer had access to this, it would be a total shit show. By keeping it hidden, Millicent reduced the risk of those bastards getting information that we wouldn't want them to have."

"Wow, you really have thought about this a lot."

"It's been on my mind," I confirmed and added another caress of her thigh. "I also suspect I will confirm that Paul is most likely the man who will allow us to have kids."

"I guess that's a possibility."

"I think that part of the history we had before was correct. You and I have a very strong connection to Paul, and by virtue of his relationship with her, with Kass as well. I think he will be the father of our children. At least until he gets too old, or the next one destined to give us kids comes into our lives."

"Ok, you need to back up again," Kelli chided, but hugged me to her to blunt the criticism.

"We may live for a really long time, remember?"

"Yeah, I remember that. And magic would probably allow us to live a really long time even if that was wrong."

"Yes, but Paul will not have the benefit of being a Neko or being bonded to one so he will probably die like a normal human. What do we do then?"

"Ok, I realize that some of the issues we might deal with are somewhat abstract right now," she replied. "But I never gave that any thought."

"But I have been, and I think that at some point Paul will no longer be the one to father our kids, and the next person will become known when needed. Hell, maybe it's just a matter of proximity and choice, rather than one specific person."

"And that might be the case," Kelli said, and when she took the Neko book from me and put it in our bag I knew that part of the conversation was over. "But tonight, you still have one other birthday present to get, and to give."

"Oh really," I said with a smirk. "And what would this present be then?"

Kelli said nothing; rather, she nudged me to move away from her while she turned to rummage around in our bag. I was treated to the sight of her perfectly rounded ass as it stuck itself up into the air while she was on her knees searching, and I was also able to catch a tiny peek at her deliciously pink slit that was nestled between her wonderful thighs. That moment was short, however, and soon enough she turned around with an exclamation and with two objects in her hands.
