Solar sighed. Xe scanned the room, looking for any potential dates; but everywhere, folks were paired off, chatting each other up. The bolder among them were already making out, or reaching furtive hands under the table.

Xe knew that coming to a queer bar alone probably wouldn't have ended with finding a hot Domme to scoop them up- but xe dropped by anyways. After all, if there was even a sliver of a chance, it might have been worth trying. Regardless, this was xir second beer, and the cash in xir wallet wasn't limitless. Time to go home, probably... Solar sighed, resigned to another failed outing. Xe desperately wished a nice, cute dyke would drop by and give xir a chance- even just for one night.

Tipping back most of xir drink, Solar looked down, examining xir outfit. Was it something with the way xe were dressed? Xir hair was freshly-dyed, electric blue, cut to a cute pixie-cut length- and of course, xe had touched up xir undercut with the electric razor. Xir black denim jacket was sporting some fresh queer patches.

Solar had even worn xir shortest booty shorts, and what xe thought were pretty incredible legs were on full display! Xe was dressed perfectly- so what was going wrong? Were people really scared off by xir butch-y attire, xir punk style? Solar hoped not. True, xe knew how to be intimidating when xe needed to be; xe'd run off more than enough fash punks in xir time. But potential partners? Given xir actual inclinations in the bedroom, that was laughable.

Maybe xe shouldn't have come... xe could have stayed home, in the lonely company of popcorn, a six pack, and streaming services. It was only just passing eight, but everyone coming to the bar that night was either coupled, or... well, not confident enough to be Solar's type. Xe might as well just finish this drink and go home unsuccessful. There was nothing wrong with calling it a day and going to bed a bit early.

Solar looked around one last time, half-heartedly looking for anyone who might possibly deem xir worthy of attention. That was when xe saw her: a tall, unabashedly femme woman who might as well have been the definition of hot.

She had at least a foot on Solar, and had chosen to add to that with a pair of red high heels- perfectly complimenting the silk crimson night dress she wore. Her chestnut-colour hair was immaculately styled, and accentuated by artful make-up in a cream and plum palette. It made her lips look immensely kissable... It took Solar an embarrassing amount of time to realise xe was staring. Xe couldn't help it- she looked like a Goddess.

Xe sighed a small, regretful sigh. She was beautiful, but xe knew xe didn't have a chance.

It had been the smallest of sighs- barely above a breath- but the woman turned her head sharply in xir direction, as if she had caught it. Solar tried to gently shift xir gaze down, back to xir drink, hoping against hope the woman hadn't caught xir staring. A scarlet blush rose in xir cheeks.

A few seconds passed, but then xe heard the clack of high heels walking up behind xir. Oh, fuck. Had she really noticed?

"Hey, cute stuff." Solar whipped around to see the woman again, now standing just behind xir chair. She downright towered over Solar. Her figure was ample, generous, and her closeness made xir feel small and fragile- given the 'cute', that was definitely a good thing. Xe found xirself caught in this woman's stare... and instantly fell deeply into a subby, helpless state.

"H...hi," Solar stammered out. Xir voice was barely audible through the hubbub of chatter permeating the bar. Fuck. Xe tried to project a little more confidence. "How, uh, how's it... going?"

"Well," the woman swirled her hair back around her other shoulder. "I can't complain- I'm talking to someone as adorable as you. What brings you to this place, all by your lonesome?"

"Uh, I..." Solar fell silent. Xe could feel xirself burning up from the inside- whether from embarrassment, or need, xe couldn't tell. Xe couldn't just say xe wanted to get picked up by a hot lady, right? By a hot lady like. Like the woman xe was talking to? "Oh, you know, just... vibing," Solar laughed nervously. "W-what about you?"

"Well, I just was just... perusing the morsels on display here tonight, and then I saw these," the woman looked down at Solar's thighs, obviously inspecting how muscular they were. Solar knew xir legs could easily crush a watermelon- and xe liked to flaunt that. "I'm quite curious how exactly you got legs so... firm."

Solar flushed a deep, scarlet hue. "Um!" Xe stammered. "W-well, um, just a lot of leg workouts. Like, squats and... and stuff."

The woman chuckled. "If this is what squats did for your legs, what wonders they must have done to your ass."

"Aah..." Solar shivered, xir full body vibrating ever so softly. Xe tried to hide it as best as xe could. This... this couldn't be real, could it? "W-well, um..." Xe cursed how slow xir brain was right now. It was like moving through Treacle. Xe needed to say something flirty back, right now! "Not... not as nice as, um... you."

"Gosh," The woman cooed. "You're really struggling there, aren't you, sweetheart? Adorable. My name is Kitty- short for Catherine. And you, my dear?"

Solar was weak. Being referred to as 'my' anything was xir biggest subby trigger, and Kitty had just stumbled onto it. "Um... um, my name is... Solar. And uhm," Solar motioned softly to the pronoun pin on xir jacket. Kitty took a glance at it, gave a soft nod in understanding. "Thanks for, um... talking to me."

"It's a genuine pleasure." Kitty smiled, warmly. There was still a teasing edge to her lips. "You don't have to be quite this nervous. I just wanted to admire the art. Speaking of which, would you object if I touched your thighs?"

Solar blushed an even deeper shade. "A-ah! I'm not... opposed, but... here? Now? In front of, y'know... people?"

"If you're comfortable, yes." Kitty smirked. "Half of the room are feeling each other up right now. It's a queer bar. They can all look another way. The only eyes you need to worry about are mine."

"Well..." Solar looked down. Xir legs were visibly shaking. Xe wanted this. Xe wanted to be taken by this assertive, gorgeous femme fatale. "Well... if you really want to, please, um, be my guest," Solar said, giggling softly. Xe spread xir legs out just a little to give her easier access.

Kitty licked her lips. Solar could feel the intensity of her gaze, locked on xir thighs. "My, someone's eager. Well, that makes two of us." She placed a hand on Solar's thigh, taking amusement in the way xir legs twitched at the touch. Her fingertips ran up and down xir flesh, reaching higher and higher each time. Solar couldn't hide the flush of xir face, or the way xe kept mumbling quiet begs, pleas.

"So, tell me, what other kinds of workouts do you do?" Kitty asked, her elbow leaning on the counter, hand cupping her chin- the picture of faux-innocence. "Your arms also look quite... defined."

"Um..." Solar could barely think through how intimate Kitty's fingers were getting. She was groping and feeling xir up, the touch of her palm becoming increasingly selfish. Intense. "I do, um... a lot of push ups. Pull ups. Weight lifting. I- I, uh, I don't really like running all that much, but I do like swimming..."

"Oh, really?" Kitty grinned. Solar struggled to maintain eye contact. It was like Kitty could read xir mind- it probably wasn't difficult, given the subby need xir face must display. "Mmm, I can only imagine how you might look in a swimsuit. Nice muscles, great legs, maybe a six pack... and that's before I get to admiring the more, intimate parts of your body."

Solar couldn't even focus anymore. Xe had become a whiny, whimpering little plaything- clay, easily molded in this woman's grasp. Kitty's namesake was misleading; she was closer to a ravenous tiger, hunting for prey.

And Solar loved every second of it. In a strange way, Kitty treating xir like an object was affirming- Kitty saw Solar as a potential partner. Or, well, a partner, at this point; after all, what they were doing was essentially public play. Solar felt seen in a sensual, validating way- feelings that only made Solar more flustered, as xe struggled to speak through the fog.

"Um... yeah," Solar giggled, nervously. Xe struggled to remember what was said to xir last; all xe could focus on was the sensations coursing through xir. "I... I workout for, um, an hour each morning, and then again in the evening."

"Two hours every day? My goodness! You're certainly dedicated. I'm sure someone could make great use of your strength, these fantastic muscles. Someone like me." Kitty's groping of xir thighs became increasingly more possessive. Solar could read the look in Kitty's eyes, clear as day. 'I want to own you.' For Solar, that was as all xe needed to know.

"But, um, are you sure this is okay? Um... y'know..." Solar looked around awkwardly. Around the bar, xe kept catching short glances in their direction, but their meaning was indecipherable. Distaste? Or... arousal? "Y-you're fine with other people... watching?"

Kitty smiled. "If you're fine with them watching, then I am. I'm quite comfortable with this... and more."

The implied query completely passed Solar by- xir focus seized by that last word. "M-more? Like... what?"

"Oh, y'know..." Kitty's fingertips reached dangerously close to xir crotch. Solar yelped softly and had to fight the urge to push her away- not because xe didn't like it, but because xe was unsure if it was really, truly permissible. "Things like this."

"A-aah!" Solar squeaked, almost falling back in xir bar stool. "I...I... um..." xe stammered out a bunch of nonsense, trying to wrap xir head around what was going on.

Kitty slowed down, looking up at xir eyes. The look on her face shifted softly, from flirtatious to concerned. "Is this too much? Do you want me to stop?"

"I... um..." Kitty's hand retreated, not quite letting go of xir but giving some space, as Solar tried to gather xir thoughts. "N-no, this is..." Solar blushed further- something xe didn't know was possible. "This is great." xe whispered with a small, soft smile.

Kitty grinned, ferally. "Good." she kept groping and feeling up Solar's inner thigh, reaching frighteningly close to xir dick. "It feels like the higher I go, the more defined your muscles are. I'm truly looking forward to finding out how firm your butt is."

Solar was about to respond- likely nothing but a myriad of gentle moans, stammers, and indecent ramblings- when Kitty cut xir off with a devious smile. "Buuuut, since I can't just undress you here..." She took her hands away from Solar, giving xir just a moment to cool off and catch xir breath. "Why don't we go back over to my place, and I can really examine your body for myself?"

Solar was a mess- xe could barely get out a coherent sentence. After some time, though, xe managed to force out, "yeah, that, um, that sounds nice." Xe wanted to start gathering xir stuff, to start walking- with this gorgeous, hot lady no less- but xe was still frozen stiff, just her presence. And this goddess wanted Solar- the same Solar so many others had rebuffed?

Just like that, though, xir mood fell. Lost in the euphoria of the moment, Solar hadn't managed to confess xir secret; the condition that had made xir love-life so difficult. Whenever xe told the story, any would-be suitor tended to quickly run off.

It had happened about four years ago. Solar had gotten lost, deep in the woods- so deep it had taken search parties two days to find xir.

In the interim, Solar had encountered another wanderer in the forest; a nightmare of gnashing teeth and blood red eyes. A glimmer of intelligence had returned to it at the last possible second, and it had loped off into the dark forest- but not before it had left a jagged bite mark in the flesh of xir arm.

When help came, Solar had just been glad to be alive; but that relief became horror when, the next month, xe had Turned as well.

The first year was the most rough. Lycanthropy wasn't an unknown condition- just one of many mysterious and otherworldly diseases- but it was rare, and there didn't seem to be any kind of organised support services. Solar had developed ad-hoc coping mechanisms as best as xe could.

The second year wasn't as bad, but xe had an awful setback when a one-night stand had returned the night after for their wallet... the night of the full moon. Needless to say, it did not end well, though thankfully they were mostly unharmed.

Solar kept to xirself for a while after that, but... it was getting lonely, being alone. What would Kitty say? What would she even think?

"Um, well, before we do, I..." Solar piped up, anxiously. Kitty turned around, taking the opportunity to fix a bra strap that had 'conveniently' slipped down. "I... have..." Solar's voice became a hush. It was barely audible over the noise of the bar. "A secret."

"Hmm? What kind of secret would that be, dear?"

"Um... well..." Xe struggled for a moment, casting eyes everywhere as xe tried to find a way to explain this, that wouldn't scare her away.

In the end, Solar couldn't do it. "It's. Really private, I. Can't share around all these people. Could we maybe go sit in your car?"

Kitty grinned. "I have a better idea." Solar cocked xir head curiously, and she continued.

"If it's privacy you need, perhaps my apartment will be secluded enough?"
