Kitty cuddles

Seated on the bed with your knees pulled in tight, you'd been staring at your phone for some time until a voice broke your focus, eyes suddenly wide at the sight of what had clearly once been Tori but altered with some of Sabel's feline traits! Even her eye color had become the yellow-green that matched Sabel's. Sabel slinked forward, humming a little--possibly as a replacement for purring--as she slowly climbed onto your bed, resting on all fours for a moment in front of you as her lingerie-clad cleavage dangled before your eyes. Her expression blended allure, curiosity, adoration, and a touch of anxiety that you might reject her if your emotions still ran too hot about the phone call.

"Tori? No. Sabel..?" You asked, forgetting for a moment about Andrea.

She crawled slowly toward you, much like Sabel's own casual strides. "I could feel that you were hurting, Pete. And then, I don't know, I ran into your friend, and then I was your friend! Not that I've ever not been your friend, but... now I'm two friends!" The corner of her mouth upturned in a bigger, hopeful smile as she reached your knees, resting her hands on them to prop herself up. "I don't want you hurting but I don't think I could do enough for you as just me, but now I have Tori's body, and I'm gonna find some way to use it to make you feel better, mister!"

You held up a hand, which Sabel went cross-eyed looking at, wondering what you were doing. "Honestly, Sabel, I'll be okay. It's just, well, I don't know what to do about this other situation where Andrea wants Tori gone."

Sabel tilted her head, and you almost died then and there from the adorableness with her sincere puzzled expression staring right at you. "Why would your girlfriend want that? Tori's the best! I've only known her for a little bit, but I've decided that it has to be true. She is good at petting and she's just good with a lot of animals but I can also tell that she cares for you so, so much! In a way, maybe she would've wanted me to take her over like this and be closer to you because that way, she gets to help you in a way too that she is too shy to say yet..."

You took a deep breath, as Sabel climbed further over and onto you, prompting you to let your guard down by at least lowering your knees so Sabel could climb on top of you. It felt remarkably similar to how Sabel would just claim someone's lap without any hesitation, as she was doing now. Sabel crawled closer to you, shimmying her hips and swishing her tail, as she reached out to pick up your phone. "This thing needs a time out. For now, it's Sabel Time, and we'll talk it through, alright? You can tell me anything! You already do usually." Sabel pressed the power button, and then tossed the phone to the far edge of the bed where you couldn't reach it.

Sabel was right, you did often confide in her all sorts of secrets that nobody else would hear, though usually you felt it safe to do so given that she wouldn't be telling anyone else. Of course, you did so with Tori as well--she knew more about you than anyone already, so you and she felt pretty comfortable describing situations that you wouldn't feel comfortable discussing with others.

With a streeeeeetch, Sabel made her way closer to you until she could collapse atop you. Her head rested on your chest, angled so she could glance up at you, while the rest of her lay across you. Sabel's arms slipped around your sides, and one of her legs even intertwined with yours. "I've, um, never been able to hug you before. It's nice. Your lap is always nice but I could do this more often too if I could. I like to cuddle, you know!"

You smiled a little, as your adorable cat-girl friend was eroding the barriers that Andrea's calls had erected. "Oh, don't I know it." Given Sabel's mannerisms, it was hard to think of her as Tori as well at the moment. Unlike Lucinda to whom you had at first been a stranger, Sabel knew you well, and leveraged her own knowledge to override even Tori's typical behavior in favor of her own with what she knew you would like. Sabel continued to hum lightly, a song you felt like you'd heard before but couldn't quite place the name.

The ears atop Sabel's head flicked a little as the two of you grew quiet for a little bit, enjoying the stillness together. But given that this was Sabel, you knew she liked pats and scritches, so your hand reached up and ran along her head, between and along her ears. Sabel immediately glanced up at you, her face turning red. "W-what are you d... doing? It feels so good when you touch my ears!" She propped herself up on your chest, arms fully extended to peer down at you.

"I thought you liked those? You always seemed to lean into petting before. Let's see." You reached up, holding a hand a few inches to the side of Sabel's face. She glanced over, at first examining your hand to see what you were doing, as her more human mannerisms did take a second to process the information. A human might see this as a precursor to a slap or something, so Sabel had to pause for a moment until the idea came to her. Her face reddening further, she leaned toward your hand, nuzzling her cheek into yours. On contact, you lightly stroked her cheek, running your fingers along her face and neck in gentle motions. You knew Sabel enjoyed the attention from her expression alone, eyes closed and mouth hanging slightly open, but her hands alternated clenching your shirt in her grip as well, another good sign that Sabel was invested in your touch!

And then out of nowhere, she turned and bit your hand. Not hard, she was still very gentle, but it was a playful nibble. Sabel pulled away from you with a playful giggle, once again back on all fours and wriggling those hips back and forth. "Are you ready?"

"Ready for...?"

Those pupils of hers grew larger, as she tensed up, ready to strike! She froze for just a brief moment, before she sprang right into action, placing herself on top of you once more as she landed with her head right next to you! She only needed to move an inch or so more before she had drawn you into a kiss, a playful, flirtatious kiss as she squeezed her arms on you.

"You, um, want to pet me anywhere else besides my head?" Sabel asked, as she rolled over atop you, her head nestling next to yours as her back touched your stomach. "I looked into Tori's thoughts and she thinks it's okay if you touch me anywhere. I also think it's okay. In fact, I want it! Just be gentle with the belly rubs, but, um..." Sabel tugged at the edges of those stockings, and then at the cups of her lacy bra. "Your hands might feel good on my legs through the nylon. You should try. But also if any of these clothes are in the way, I'll... you can... we'll take them off. But we can just cuddle and talk too, I like when you talk to me and hold me. ButI'd like scritches too, and pets, and maybe a tuna sandwich!"

It was hard to get over how adorable the Sabel-Tori mix behaved! By this time, you may have forgotten altogether that somebody named Andrea even existed, considering taking Sabel up on her offer.
