A Relaxing Morning

“Mnnnhhnn...” A drowsy noise, halfway between yawn and groan, emerges from deep within the Drakling’s chest. That rumbling sound seems to ward off whatever it was that dared to disturb her deep slumber.

The soft moss bedding and the warmth of a body held in her arms coaxes the barbarian back towards a nice, relaxing dream.

But, again, some movement pokes at the edges of her awareness, threatening to wake her up. And, unfortunately, that bothersome motion only seems to grow more squirmy.

Bit by bit her mind is roused and her awareness grows.

Shuddering tremors run through the barbarian’s body as her legs stretch and her cuddly hug grows even more constricting. Bare skin presses against her belly and the back of a head is engulfed between her pale tits.

The only thing standing between Krvavy and the squirming girl that is trapped in her unyielding grip are a few thick strands of long velvety hair. Not even a single strip of clothing dares to keep them apart.

Krvavy’s eyes flutter open just as a pair of little padded paw feet find purchase on her toned thighs.

“Hahhhh...” With a tired sigh, which quickly transitions into a yawn, she lets her arms go limp.

That sudden noise causes Adeline to freeze. The bunny-mouse girl’s little body remains tense and unmoving for a few long seconds. Eventually, her squirming resumes. “Eep!” She quietly squeaks out in shock as she knocks the Drakling’s right arm over, causing it to fall down onto the moss bedding.

The Halfling quivers nervously as her heartbeat picks up, drumming at such a frantic pace that Krvavy can feel it better than her own.

Adeline holds her breath and waits. But her lungs aren’t that large, so it isn’t long until she begins to breathe again. Her slim shoulders slump in relief as she realizes that her attempts at escape seem to have gone unnoticed. Or at least haven’t earned her the Drakling’s ire.

And so, the Halfling very carefully lifts the other limp arm away from her wide hips, before scooting herself forwards out of its grasp. She visibly winces as that arm slips from her grip and drops back down onto the bed. Shuddering slightly, the tiny blonde glances back over her shoulder and freezes once more.

“Morning...” Krvavy blearily greets the wide-eyed girl, stifling a yawn.

The bunny-mouse girl doesn’t move at all, almost as if she thinks that Krvavy won’t notice her if she stays still.

The Drakling’s groggy gaze slowly trails down the Halfling’s completely nude body. But, even in her tired state, she can’t quite keep herself from focusing on the tiny blonde’s even tinier tits. They, much like the girl that they’re attached to, are honestly quite cute.

Krvavy enjoys that uninterrupted view for at least a minute – she isn’t exactly counting the seconds pass on by – before realizing that she is just lying there while ogling the adorable Halfling. “Not wearing your pajamas...?” She expertly plays off her staring as simple curiosity, which is definitely believable.

Realizing that her ‘strategy’ isn’t working, Adeline suddenly jumps upright and... buries her face into her soft bunny ears. “Eeeeeeeii...” The timid girl voices her embarrassment with an absolutely adorable squeak.

“Hey now,” Krvavy slowly pushes herself up, unintentionally looming over the gradually deflating girl. “No need to be embarrassed by that. It’s good that you’re getting more comfortable around here.”

Adeline shudders as the barbarian’s big hands gently grab onto her wrists. Bit by bit, her heavily flushed face is revealed as her floppy bunny ears are lowered away. A few teardrops cling to her thick eyelashes, though none have dared to touch her blushing cheeks.

A warm, loving, smile plays at Krvavy’s lips. “How are you so adorable~?” She breathes out in an almost reverent tone.

“Eeep!” The Halfling tears away from the Drakling’s grasp, turning her head to the side in embarrassment as her hands slap down over her nearly nonexistent tits. Her thin tail twists around and covers up her crotch with the fluffy tuft of fur at its tip.

Krvavy gently cups the cute Halfling’s cheek and chin, brushing her thumb over the tiny blonde’s soft lips.

That intimate contact causes Adeline’s blush to spread down her neck and to her shoulders. She shudders and gasps as the Drakling kisses her forehead and nuzzles into her dark-blonde hair.

“Now what’s with that look, hmm~?” Krvavy playfully bumps noses with the bunny-mouse girl. “Did you... maybe want a real kiss~?” She warmly asks, gazing deep into the Halfling’s big hazel eyes. “On the lips~? We haven’t done that since, well, you know... A quick peck here and there, sure, but not an actu–”

Two sharp claps ring out through the air as Adeline’s little hands clumsily slap down onto the Drakling’s cheeks. That bit of completely unexpected **** completely stuns the larger woman, but isn’t anywhere near as surprising as what follows it.

The tiny blonde’s little lips press against those of the much bigger barbarian. Adeline squeezes her eyes shut, dislodging the few tears that were clinging to her thick eyelashes. Her small body shudders and her shaky fingers continue to squish the Drakling’s face as she holds herself in place.

Krvavy blinks a few times as her mind reboots itself. Her raised brow gradually lowers, and she closes her eyes.

Adeline is... very inexperienced. And without the burning need that her heat **** upon her, she doesn’t have the courage to... do anything, really. In other words, this is hardly a kiss. They’re just pressing their lips together.

But it doesn’t have to stay that way.

“Mhhhhhhhhhh!” The bunny-mouse girl goes stiff, her shocked squeak muffled by her closed mouth. She shudders again. Her breathing becomes ragged and shallow. Her heartbeat picks up its already frantic pace. She remains exactly where she is, not attempting to pull back or flee despite the fact that she very well could do so. There is nothing stopping her from retreating. But still, she stays.

The Drakling’s tongue gently prods at Adeline’s lips and, after a few seconds, is let inside.

Bit by bit, all of the tension filling the Halfling gradually leaves her body. Her fears and worries are easily forgotten as she gives in completely and lets Krvavy lead their kiss.

It is similar to the first time their lips met, yet so different as well.

Adeline is just as clumsy as before, having not gained even a sliver of experience is the weeks since they’ve last kissed like this. She is more timid and hesitant than when her heat was driving her every action.

It is... better this time. Way, way better. There may not be the same level of energy, but that doesn’t mean that there is any less passion. The fact that Adeline initiated this kiss all of her own free will and without anything or anyone forcing her into it...

Krvavy’s heart flutters as the tip of her tapered tongue gently and slowly leads their loving dance.

Time passes by unnoticed as the Halfling follows along with uncertain and awkward movements. But even her shy nature can’t contain the spark of enthusiasm that is making this inexperienced kiss into something truly special.

Adeline’s innocence is a beautiful treasure that fills the Drakling with endless desires. Most of which are, surprisingly, quite wholesome. In this moment, there is nothing more in the world that Krvavy wants than to protect and cherish this adorable bunny-mouse girl.

And that feeling continues to fill the barbarian even after Adeline ends their kiss.

The Halfling’s petite chest rises and falls with each laboured breath she takes. Her face is as red as a tomato as she resists the urge to hide in the safety of her soft ears.

Krvavy’s mind is a haze of affection and joy. A year ago... no, not even... A few months ago she wouldn’t have even dared to dream of being able to actually experience such happiness. But now... now she gets to feel these wonderful things on what would otherwise be an ordinary and unremarkable day. She doesn’t deserve it, not at all, but she’d rather die a thousand times than let anyone take this away from her.

The tiny blonde remains completely still, her timid gaze turned down and off to the side. She quivers slightly as the Drakling’s fingers begin idly trailing through the long strands of her dark-blonde hair.

“Hahh...” Krvavy slowly breathes out, rolling her shoulders as she gradually comes back to her senses. It takes a considerable amount of will for her to not tease this cute bunny-mouse girl. At least not directly. “How do you feel about starting the day with a nice soak down in the hot springs?”

Adeline’s fingers nervously grasp at the very ends of her long bunny ears. She hesitantly glances up at the barbarian, looking out of the corners of her big eyes. “I-I-I...” Her blush deepens and spreads further across her light olive skin. “I-I-I-I-I’dlikethat...!”

The Drakling’s smile turns into a wide grin as her hand trails down towards Adeline’s upper back. “Well, lets not waste any more time then~.”

“Eeep!” The Halfling squeaks as she is scooped up into Krvavy’s arms. It seems that being lifted up and carried is a bit too much for her to handle, as she immediately hides her round face behind those soft and floppy rabbit ears of hers.

Krvavy doesn’t exactly rush to get off their expansive bed, but she doesn’t take it slowly either. Her knees press into the cushioned moss with each slightly hurried ‘step’ that she takes. The stone floor beyond the bed feels cold beneath her clawed feet, at least compared to the warmth of the sweet girl squished up against her pale tits.

“O-oh...!”

That surprised gasp causes the Drakling to halt in her tracks. Adeline didn’t make that noise, so who...?

“Ah didn’t disturb yer sleep, did Ah?” A note of worry fills Beryl’s voice as it carries across the entire room. The lithe Elf leans forwards just a little, standing in the mouth of the pathway up towards the storage area with her hands held behind her back. Whether intentionally or not, that pose perfectly puts her pert breasts on display. The slight squish of the thin leather strap secured tightly across those caramel handfuls serves only to make that sight even more alluring.

“No.” Krvavy gently shakes her head.

“Good, good. The two o’ ya looked so adorable cuddlin’ like tha’... Ah just couldn’t bring myself ta wake ya...” A slight smiles plays at the tomboyish Elf’s lips as she shifts her weight from one foot to the other, bringing attention to the skintight shorts clinging to her slim hips as they roll with that motion. “Ah take it tha’ ya and tha’ sweetie ‘ave some plans fer the day...?”

“We’re heading down for a nice, relaxing bath.” The barbarian tilts her head in the vague direction of the hot springs as she answers her sweet berry. “Do you want to join us?”

“Ah’d love ta, my dearest love, but...” The tips of Beryl’s long and pointed ears droop down just a little, her tone growing faintly regretful. “Ah ‘ave some... catchin’ up ta do around here. Wit’ the plants. In the garden. We were gone fer a couple weeks, after all, and Ah’d... like ta see ‘ow everythin’ ‘as been doin’ in tha’ time. Not tha’ Ah expect ta find anythin’ bad, of course: we left it all in good ‘ands!” She hastily adds, briefly glancing at the curled up bunny-mouse girl held in the Drakling’s arms. “But they’ve still been without my magic fer some time, so... it wouldn’t ‘urt ta get reacquainted wit’ everythin’ down there...”

“Alright, I –”

“And Ah’ll be busy wit’ tha’ all day,” the Elf quickly adds, cutting Krvavy off. “So ya can enjoy Adeline’s company without worryin’ about me stealin’ ‘er away from ya.”

“Eeeeeeeiiiiiieeeeeee...” A long, drawn out squeak makes its way past the mildly muffling presence of Adeline’s bunny ears. The girl is, quite clearly, incredibly embarrassed to have someone else witness her nude body being held in such an intimate way by an equally nude barbarian.

“Aww... Sorry sweetie, Ah won’t ‘old ya any longer.” The Wood Elf woman’s gaze turns to meet that of her Draconic lover. “So go on, my dearest love, don’t ya keep the poor girl waitin’.”

Krvavy gives her sweet berry a quick nod. “Right. See you later then.” She turns and heads off, holding the quivering Halfling tightly against her body.

“Eeeeiinnnnnnnhhhhnh...” The tiny blonde’s embarrassed noises slowly shift into something more akin to a hum, which gradually fade into silence as the Drakling carries her away.

Comforting steam surrounds the barbarian as she stands at the edge of the uppermost hot spring pool. The corners of her lips twitch downwards as she struggles to tie a towel around her waist. After a few attempts at trying to get it around her tail, she simply elects to tie it together above that meaty appendage, wearing the towel like an apron.

That doesn’t exactly do a good job at covering her from behind, but that doesn’t exactly matter if she is just going to be sitting down.

“K-Krv-vavy...” Adeline nervously calls out from the adjacent bathroom, hiding around the stone door frame and just barely peeking her head through it.

“Don’t worry, we don’t need to be naked for this.” Krvavy smiles gently towards the bunny-mouse girl. “See?” She idly gestures at the towel crudely secured around her waist. “We can cover ourselves up and still relax just fine in there. And I can always wrap another up here,” she pokes a finger into her bare breasts, “if that makes you feel more comfortable.”

“N-no... y-y-you a-are g-g-g-g-good...” The Halfling shakily stutters out. Her cheeks gain a reddish hue as she takes a deep breath and, very bravely, scurries through the door.

Krvavy tries not to stare at the tiny blonde’s body, but... that is much easier said than done. From the waist up, Adeline is undeniably cute: her youthful face and small, waifish tits only serve to accentuate that. From the waist down, Adeline is undeniably sexy: her juicy thighs and wide, womanly hips only serve to accentuate that. Put those halves together and... well, the Halfling is simply beautiful.

The bunny-mouse girl hastily swings open the cabinet and pulls out a towel. It takes her only a couple seconds more to wrap herself up, tucking the top of the towel into itself after pulling it tight around her torso. If it weren’t for the visibly fluffy and absorbent fabric, it would almost look like this cute girl was wearing a rather form-fitting dress. It even has a slight split along the side of her leg which disappears as it travels over her wide hip...

Adeline slowly exhales, looking a little relieved to no longer be naked, though her cheeks still remain rather flushed.

Pleasantly hot water surrounds the Drakling’s draconic foot as she steps into the hot spring. “Do you want to sit right next to me, or...?” Krvavy trails of as the Halfling anxiously grabs onto her hand, effectively answering her question.

Krvavy carefully lowers herself down onto a sculpted stone bench before helping Adeline down into the water. The barbarian’s brow shoots up in surprise as the tiny blonde doesn’t sit where she expected, on a seat raised up to be a perfect height for such a short girl, but instead climbs into Krvavy’s lap.

The blush colouring Adeline’s cheek intensifies as she sinks into the Drakling’s embrace, awkwardly glancing off to the side as her chin dips into the steamy water. Her other hand joins the first, fingers clasping onto those of the Drakling as she pulls the held hand up against her covered chest.

The Halfling jumps slightly as the barbarian’s other hand brushes against her back, trailing over her wide and womanly hips. She shudders slightly as the tips of Krvavy’s fingers reach beneath the edge of the towel, touching her bare skin and gently grabbing onto that wonderfully thick thigh. She wiggles slightly as she settles in place, her tail slipping out of that same gap in the towel and twisting through the water, before wrapping itself around the barbarian’s touchy arm.

Neither bunny-mouse nor barbarian make much of a sound at all for a few long minutes.

The tiny blonde’s floppy bunny ears slowly sink beneath the surface, no longer able to remain floating as they grow increasingly heavy and waterlogged.

“Do you know anything about Thea wanting me to renovate the living room?” The barbarian idly asks, casually kneading the Halfling’s wonderfully thick thigh. “I vaguely remember that being brought up last night, but... uh... well... I wasn’t exactly paying attention.”

Adeline’s skittish little fingers tighten their grip on Krvavy’s hand, her palms pressing into both front and back like two slices of bread that are far too small to properly cover up the filling between them. Her big hazel eyes briefly glance at the barbarian before quickly turning away, causing the blush on her round cheeks to grow a little brighter. After a couple seconds, she nervously nods.

“Oh, good,” the Drakling exhales in relief. “I was a little worried that Thea would scold me, or something, for not knowing exactly what it is that she wants. Not that she’d have much ground to stand on – she was way more out of it than me last night – but still, doubt that’d stop her...”

“C-c-cou-couches!” The bunny-mouse girl blurts out, nearly cutting Krvavy off in her haste to get that word past her lips. She visibly winces and shrinks into herself, sinking even further into the water, as she realizes how rude her response was. “M-miss Thea w-wo-would like some c-couches...”

“Did she get any more specific than that, or...?”

Adeline faintly shakes her head, hardly disturbing the steamy water with her hesitant response.

“Well... guess that makes my job a little... easier...? Or does it really...? I’ll need to figure out what it is that she actually wants and... Eh, whatever. She’d probably find something to complain about no matter what I do.” Krvavy shrugs her shoulders and slowly exhales. “Say,” she gently drums her fingers against the tiny blonde’s thigh, “would you mind helping me out with that?”

“I d-don’t...” The Halfling’s big hazel eyes go wide as she glances up at the Drakling. “Y-your m-ma-magic...”

“Don’t worry, I’m not asking you to help out with that part. I won’t even make you carry bricks around either.” A warm smile plays at the barbarian’s lips as she leans her head forwards, softly bumping her nose into the top of Adeline’s head. “I just want your input and to hear your ideas.”

The timid girl stares for a few long seconds. Her ever-present embarrassment fades just a bit as confusion starts to take its place. “Why...?” She genuinely asks.

“Because this is your home.” Krvavy plainly state, straighten back up again. “Plus, you grew up in a big family with lots of siblings all living together in the same house. That experience would be pretty helpful when trying to build a living room that a whole bunch of people will find comfortable. Also... Beryl did say that I could have you all to myself today~. So why not take advantage of that~?”

The bunny-mouse girl blinks and slowly turns her gaze back down to the steamy water. “O-okay...” She quietly mutters out, clearly resisting the urge to cover up her rosy cheeks.

“Great! But there’s no need to rush. We’ll get to it once we’re done down here. And after breakfast. Does that sound good with you?”

Adeline nods and slowly sinks further into Krvavy’s lap.

“Then I guess we should start to actually bathe, huh?” The barbarian’s submerged hand caresses the Halfling’s juicy thigh. “That is what we’re here for, after all. But that doesn’t mean we can’t still relax at the same time though~.”
