Falling

She fell, from the sky or from a cliff, and hit the water hard. It was dark and deep and, no matter how hard she exerted herself, there was no way back up. By now she was panicking but this only made the suffocation worse. She looked desperately, all around, for someone or something to save her. Nothing came and, eventually, water began to flood into her lungs.

Thu jerked herself awake, as her heart pounded in her chest. The nightmares had become less frequent as she'd got older. She'd even been inclined to think they were gone for good, once or twice. Groaning, she reached to shut off her alarm, out of habit, only to discover that it hadn't gone off. She remembered last night's events and flung herself from the bed, finding her pager amongst the mixed pile of discarded clothing. Thankfully, it hadn't gone off. She was still running late, however, so she had to scramble to dress herself.

'Babe,' she said to sleeping beauty, 'babe, I've gotta' go.' Lucy only groaned in response, before bundling herself up in their duvet. 'There's stuff for breakfast, um,' she tried to explain, but her rambling fell on deaf ears, 'okay, see you.' She was halfway out the door before deciding to run back into the bedroom. Thu gave Lucy an awkward kiss on the side of the face and contemplated saying something. I love you. Then, she left, racing down to the street and riding to work at break-neck speed.

If anyone noticed her unusual tardiness, they didn't mention it and, soon enough, she was suited and booted, on her way to an exercise. 'You're in a good mood, Frank,' one of them said. It made little sense to her. Frank was always in a good mood, it seemed. Red-haired and supposedly handsome, the man always wore a smile.

'Yeah,' he boasted, 'got laid.'

Thu tuned the following conversation out, as he described a hook-up with some skank. It still managed to unnerve her, though. Maybe, if she'd waited, sleeping with Lucy would've produced this same kind of cheery disposition. She snorted, laughing to herself, which the guys mercifully interpreted as a response to whatever stupid jokes they were telling.

The day passed by and, as it did, she felt a growing sense anxiety. Was it even good? I have nothing to compare it to but she does. What if sex actually turned out to be the thing that made Lucy think twice about staying with her? When she arrived at her apartment, she half-expected it to be empty again. Thankfully, it wasn't.

'Thu, I'm so sorry,' Lucy squealed, and she braced herself, 'I tried to make dinner by myself.'

Thu's face shifted from concern to joy as she beheld her kitchen, which looked more like a warzone. There was certainly enough sticky red liquid sprayed all over the place. 'What the fuck?!' she asked, grinning.

Lucy pouted, 'I didn't know when the sauce was supposed to go in.'

'Go in what?' She pieced some of the details together as she cleaned up and, in the end, they decided to just get a pizza on the way back from the AWIO.

'Oh, your brother says hi, by the way.'

'What?!'

'I hated being cooped up so I went over to his place,' Lucy said, nonchalantly.

There were a dozen things Thu wanted to say in reply. Chiefly, she wanted to ask if his girlfriends even tried to keep their tentacles to themselves. 'I'm sorry,' was all so actually could say in the end. She dearly hoped that Lucy wouldn't bring it up during the meeting, but to no avail.

'By this point,' Kara said, 'many sponsors already begin looking into the possibility of adding another monster girl. It would certainly help keep Lucy occupied whilst you are away.'

'I really don't like that idea,' Thu admitted.

Kara began to speak but Lucy interrupted her. 'If she only wants to sponsor me, I'm fine with that, I actually think it's sweet.' Then, she turned to Thu, 'but you need to lighten up about me spending time with my friends.'

'I know.'

Kara finally interjected, 'alright. Now, have you made any progress on the physical side of your relationship?'

She didn't know what to say but, apparently, Lucy did. 'Yes,' she exclaimed, practically jumping out of her seat, 'we had sex last night! It was really good.'

Thu felt her cheeks redden and she tried to avoid eye contact with Kara. 'That's great. I'm really happy to hear that you've taken that first step. Thu, how do you feel about it?'

She swallowed hard, 'it was good, I guess,' she laughed nervously, 'I don't exactly feel comfortable talking about it.' Fortunately, she wasn't expected to and, soon enough, the couple were in more comfortable surroundings, sat on her couch eating pizzas.

Lucy stared at her as she ate, her tail wagging in anticipation. Thu got a little lost in her eyes before realising what her girlfriend was after, having greedily wolfed her own pizza down. She held her last slice out towards her but pulled it way when the dog girl lurched for it.

'Beg,' she said, and saw Lucy's brow furrow and her cheeks redden.

'No,' Lucy replied, crossing her arms.

'Well, I guess I'll eat it myself, then,' she said, dramatically, before feigning that she was about to make good on the threat.

Lucy pouted and pawed at her, in protest, 'please, may I have it?'

'On your knees,' she smiled, and Lucy did as she was told, getting down onto the floor and kneeling in front of her. She then fed her the slice, bite by bite.

'You're a bitch,' Lucy said, once the humiliation was over.

Thu acted offended, clutching her chest. 'You wanna' do something about it?' she taunted, and before she'd even got the words out, they were rolling around on the ground, wrestling. Lucy growled with heat and hunger but it didn't help her get the better of the exchange. Thu overpowered her girlfriend, pinning her hands behind her head and pushing her right knee into the dog girl's crotch. When she whimpered, Thu asked, 'are you sorry for calling me a bitch?'

Lucy grinned. 'No,' she said triumphantly but, as soon as Thu took her knee away, her smile faded. 'Okay, okay, I'm sorry.'

Thu put her knee began and felt Lucy grind against, but drew it back just as quickly. Feigning confusion, she asked, 'sorry for what?'

Lucy groaned and tried uselessly to power her way into a better position. Defeated, she whined, 'I'm sorry for calling you a bitch.'

'Good girl,' she said, relaxing her grip and letting her girlfriend slide her groin flush against her thigh. She was alive with want but she restrained herself, content to let Lucy get herself off with her body. Lucy's anguished moans and her struggles for relief deepened the ache in her own loins. They kissed a little, hard and awkward as Thu kept herself on top, hanging her head down.

'Thu,' Lucy whined, 'I can't take this.'

Thu said nothing in response but pinned her girlfriends wrists above her head with one hand and undid the button of the girl's tiny jean shorts with the other. Lucy bucked against her to get more contact but Thu pulled away. 'Be good,' she said, causing Lucy's cheeks to flush even redder as she lowered her hips back down. Once she'd gained compliance, Thu pulled down the zipper and placed her hand on Lucy's groin, beginning to rub gently. The girl's panties were wet and her hips desperately searched for a rhythm. Thu refused to grant her one, however, pulling away whenever she became too eager.

'Please,' Lucy cried, tears beginning to form, 'I can't fucking take this.' Then, Thu push her fingers underneath the fabric and pinched her clit. 'Oh,' she squealed, 'fuck me,' drawing out her cry in a long and shay breath. Thu gave in and began to rub her more with more vigour, eventually entering her with two fingers, whilst circling her clit with her thumb. 'Uh huh, ooh,' Lucy began to squeal, some speaking only in noises that barely even counted as words as Thu drove her over the edge, pumping and pumping. She came hard, her hips bucking like wild, and Thu released her. For a while, she just laid there, her chest heaving and her eyes clouded by bliss.

Thu positioned herself alongside her and just watched her chest rise and fall. A whirlwind of emotions tore through her but she didn't let any of it show. It all felt too much like a dream. She ran her hand through Lucy's hair and tugged at her furry ears, reminding herself that it was real. Her girlfriend hummed, tiredly, in response and turned to her. They stared deeply into one another's eyes but said nothing. Eventually, Thu was **** to act on the ache beneath her pants and she began to play with Lucy's hands, slowly working her way up towards kissing and cuddling. Once Lucy was ready to go again, Thu dragged her into the bedroom. This time, she undressed herself properly and put her pager in the right place.

She made Lucy wait by being slow and deliberate with the folding. 'Come on,' the girl pleaded, kneeling behind her and pouting. Thu waited until her own body was just as **** before entangling herself with her lover. She tried to maintain control as they rubbed one another but she soon became lost in a haze of love and lust, yielding some power to Lucy. The dog girl threw her down and sat on her face. Thu lapped up her girlfriend's juices eagerly and tongued her as she felt the girl's tail wag, sliding across her chest. She tried to build up to her own release but Lucy batted her hand away and worked Thu's clit herself.

Thu closed her eyes as she felt her climax build, trying to restrain herself and focus on the task at hand. She licked Lucy hungrily and kept her cunt pinned to her face. Insisting on making her partner come first, she succeeded when Lucy let out a howling of orgasmic pleasure just seconds before Thu's hips began to shake. Lucy collapsed soon after and they remained entangled, pawing at one another and peppering each other's legs with kisses until the time came to get ready for bed. They found themselves able to speak more coherently once they were finally tucked in. 'I'm so glad I found you,' Thu confessed, 'I thought I was gonna' be alone forever.'

'I'm glad you found me, too,' Lucy said, pressing their noses together. 'I love you.'

'I love you.'

Sleep came easily, with Lucy in her arms, and passed by dreamlessly. When she woke up, she expected to feel a pit in her stomach. Instead, she saw her lover breathing gently and felt only the urge to love and protect her. During that morning's routine, she made a promise to herself in the mirror.

'I want to feel like this for the rest of my life.'
