It was a hot summer day, the kind where you can appreciate the heat, but not be overburdened by it. It was on these days that Art would go out into the yard and get his yearly dosage of color to his 9-month pale streak. Sadly, though he could enjoy the weather, his two roommates, Kat and Scarlet, could not; what with being anthropomorphic animals and thus being covered in fur, and all. Run of the mill stuff.
Art was disappointed the girls couldn't come out into the sun with him. Though he was always shy and very bashful when things got a bit lewd in the home, that didn't mean he didn't appreciate seeing the girls in all their bikini-wearing splendor. Of course, with them not there to command his attention, he could rest comfortably on the deck chair without worry of getting a very noticeable erection, given the flimsy material of his swim trunks. Pip being outside, as well, also kept things limp.
The third of Art's roommates was Pip, a small anthro-penguin who somehow managed to be a bigger nerd than him. Currently, Pip was floating in the middle of an inflatable kiddie pool, filled with ice and the melted remains of the bags that came before. Slinging his towel over his shoulder, Art lifted up his sunglasses to peer down at Pip.
"Beating the heat, Pip?" he asked rhetorically, and with a half-mocking smirk.
"Other way around," Pip huffed out. "I think my glasses are causing the sunrays to intensify on my face." Pip wore very thick Coke-bottle glasses, the kind of magnification that could burn an entire ant colony in under 5 seconds. Even in the pool filled with his natural element, Pip still looked overheated.
"Maybe it's not a great idea to be outside, then," Art theorized aloud.
"Well Kat won't let me take a nap in the fridge, so I'm out of options," Pip lamented. "I should just buy my own fridge and use that as a bed. I bet the mall- hey!" Pip sat up with an idea, ice cubes tumbling away as he stood half submerged in the ice cold water. "I could go to the mall! That AC unit they have rivals the frozen tundras of the South Pole." Leaving no time to be talked out of it or explain his simple plan further, Pip rolled himself out of the pool and waddled out of the backyard and toward his scooter. Art just hoped he would survive the journey.
The minor distraction gone, Art was refocused on laying out in the sun and catching the rays that Pip loathed. Art also had to appreciate that the girls weren't outside because he hated to be shirtless around them. It wasn't as if he had anything to be ashamed of. He had the body of a person who ate well and exercised occasionally, but didn't do much else. A light layer of muscle on a lean body. Still, being the dork that he was, he always felt self conscious. Especially when considering the kind of men Kat went after. Big as a barn anthros that could reach upwards of 8 feet, and shoulder width nearly half of that. He couldn't compete with that standard. At least he never felt too self conscious around Scarlet.
Art applied the sun lotion over his swimmer's frame, making sure he just got a tan and not a burn. Sunglasses returned to their down position, and towel folded up behind him to act as a pillow for his head during his sleep. A nice restful afternoon is something Art looked forward to, often. No drama, no distractions, just himself and his thoughts.
**********
Sometime later, Art fluttered his eyes open after his restful sleep. He was awoken by the sounds of splashing in the pool; not playful, just the initial water jostling that came with entering it. Having rested with his face toward the sky, he immediately saw that the sun had moved away from shining on him directly, and now just offered a gentle glow. Smiling, Art sat up, but quickly lost his smile when he saw it wasn't Pip who returned to the pool, but Scarlet.
Scarlet was an anthro-squirrel girl, precocious and sweet, a bit naive but good hearted. Her naivetΓ© really showed when it came to sexual situations, however. Such a sheltered young woman, she really hadn't had the parenting lessons of modesty. When she first arrived, she was naked and remained as such until they were able to convince her to wear at least a shirt and panties, neither of which she was wearing now.
There she was, curled up in the pool. Her large bushy tail swaying idly into the air, her soft padded feet scrunched up and crossing each other. Her large, supple, amber and white ass, bare and directed right at him. Art looked away as soon as his lizard brain stopped commanding him not to. The image was still in his mind, though, and it wasn't going anywhere soon. He had a lot of memories of Scarlet's amazing, voluptuous, body. The woman was shameless, but in an innocent way. This image was different, however. This one was the first time he had seen her bare vagina.
Though she was often naked, either by choice or by losing her clothes somehow, Art had never seen any of her privates. Perhaps he was too distracted by her large, squeezable breasts, her firm yet rotund ass, her strong, elegant thighs that led to long and slender legs, or even just that way she cooed whenever Art rubbed her ear, leading her to nuzzle up to him and eventually fall asleep on his lap. Whatever the reason, this was the first time he had really seen it, and he was never going to forget this sight.
It was snuggly held between her thighs and just below her cheeks. They were puffed out prominently, begging for attention. Even from where he was sitting, he could just the smallest hint of pink between the lips. Art gulped hard, considering all his options on what to do next. He'd have to decide carefully, because this was a drama minefield.
He'd be lying if he said he hadn't thought about Scarlet in this way before. Hell, he'd done so of Kat, as well. Slender, sexual, salacious Kat. Kat always felt far out of his league, though, despite how good of friends they were. Scarlet, however, had none of the cons that Kat had. While Kat was more slim-fit, Scarlet was more curvy. Larger tits and bum, and thicker thighs. Even her tail was bigger, and, somehow, looked far more fun that Kat's. Though he hoped the tail thing wasn't a sexual fetish growing inside of him.
