Afterwards

You spend some time laying in bed with Lili, and the little harpy seems happy. She holds you close, her feathers like a blanket around you. After a while, though, you disengage, chuckling at the pout she gives you when you do.

As you sit up, you smile at her. “Don’t worry, there’s plenty of time for cuddling. We’ve only just met, remember?”

Lili nods, sitting up herself. “I know. It’s just nice, yes-yes? I may not have been treated as bad-bad as Emi, but…”

You lean over and kiss her cheek. Lili’s bright smile returns, and she giggles, hopping off the bed and grabbing her clothes. “I’m going to get clean, yes-yes?”

You smile again. “Of course, Lili, go ahead.”

The energetic harpy skips out of the room, and you chuckle. Despite the momentary melancholy, she really seems to be happy. You dress yourself, and head out to the kitchen, where Emi is putting the final touches on a pot of spaghetti. You watch the catgirl for a moment, listening to her hum a tune as she cooks.

Emi glances over her shoulder at you. “I can feel your eyes on me.”

You walk up behind her, putting your hands on her shoulders, and gently massaging her. Emi sighs, and you see a small smile on her face. Her three ears twitch, and she leans back slightly against you. You chuckle. “Better?”

Emi nods. “Much. It sounds like things went well?”

As she says that, you hear the shower turn on, and you also hear the sounds of Lili singing to herself. She has a very nice voice, though she’s not singing anything in particular.

“It did go well. Lili is getting cleaned up.”

Emi nods again. “Good. I want her to be as happy here as I am. She seemed really excited about sex.”

You laugh. “Yeah. It was a bit sudden, but I suppose I shouldn’t complain.”

Emi shakes her head. “Lili and I talked about that. Hybrids feel things differently. When you took Lili in, it had the same effect as when you rescued me. She formed an attachment to you immediately.”

You give Emi’s shoulders a squeeze. “I figured that much. It’s just a lot to wrap my mind around at first.”

Emi smiles. “I understand. I’ve been doing a lot of research while you work, so it all made sense to me. Did you know that those markings on her abdomen mean that she has a heightened sex drive? I saw it being discussed online.”

You shake your head. “I wasn’t aware. I’m surprised it wasn’t in the paperwork.”

Emi shrugs. “I expect that CompanionCorp keeps it quiet.”

Emi coughs, shivering slightly. You look at her in concern. “I’ll be glad when we get to the doctor tomorrow, Emi. I’m worried about you.”

Emi waves a hand dismissively. “It’s fine. I’m sure the doctor will tell us it’s nothing.”

You shake your head. “I hope you’re right.

Before either of you can say any more, Lili comes bouncing out of the bathroom. Still naked and damp, she skips over, singing and smiling.

“Clean clean clean! Happy-happy, yes-yes!”

She hugs you from behind, resting her head against your back with a sigh. “When can we do it again-again? Ohhh, with Emi too, yes-yes? Soon? Please-please?”

You chuckle. “Yes, soon. We should eat first, though. And you should get dressed, Lili.”

Lili shrugs. “I like-like being naked!”

Emi stifles a giggle, and you chuckle. “Well…ok, fine. But only around the house, ok?”

Lili hops excitedly, and you have to admit it’s quite a sight. The little harpy giggles. “Yay-yay! Naked at home, yes-yes!”

You chuckle and shake your head.
