Flirted Expectations

This is my first submission on literotica. Its meant to test the waters a bit. If this is well received, I may publish other stories and/or expand on this setting.

Thank you for reading. Cheers!

Sun streamed in from the open window, casting rays of gold across Joseph's room. Birdsong, carried on a light breeze which eased its way in from the window to tickle his face.

He sat on a wooden chair facing his bed and the person sitting. Long brown hair flowed down to her shoulder blades, furred pointed ears folded and her hazel eyes staring at the floor in thought. She flicked her hair away from her eyes and looked at Joseph. "I give up. What is it?" Joseph responded:

"Come on Mana, just go one more guess." Mana shook her head.

"Just tell me what it is!" Joseph said

"Fine." A long moment passed. Mana cocked her head to the side, and her ears perked up.

"Well?" Joseph threw his hands up in the air in an exaggerated fashion. "Man, you have no appreciation of suspense." Mana giggled. Joseph continued.

"It was 'fox'."

Mana sat up more.

"What?! I guessed canine!" Joseph stared at her.

"Foxes are felines." Mana shook her head once more. "No, they're canines."

"Nuh uh."

"Do they meow?"

Joseph responded quickly. "They don't make noises at all."

"Not true."

"Okay, what noises do they make then?" Mana flicked her hair again and arranged her crossed legs into a more comfortable configuration.

"Well, for one, they bark."

"Really?" Joseph looked skeptical. Mana nodded earnestly.

"Yeah, they do." Then, with a sly look on her face. "And during the mating season, they make eerie screams." Joseph raised his eyebrows and opened his mouth, then closed it. Mana looked at him. "What?"

"I was going to make a comment. It's fine."

Mana locked eyes with him, her ears swiveling to point towards him.

"Oh, it's not fine. Not if you don't tell me what it was." Joseph's face flushed and he looked very intently at a spot on the wall.

"No, really. It's not important." Mana leaned over towards him. "I promise I won't tell." She got up and put her head close to his.

"Whisper it in my ear?" Joseph coughed and moved one of his legs over the other.

He stuttered for a few seconds, then gathered himself.

"I feel I should-um, a-ask a que- can I ask a question?" Mana nodded. He swallowed. "We are- I mean, are we- could you sit back down for a second?" Mana complied.

"What's the question?" Joseph gulped again.

"Friends. Are we, like, I don't know, more-" Mana interrupted.

"Are you asking me if I consider you more than a friend?" Joseph nodded.

"Yeah." She blinked.

"Actually?" Joseph nodded once more. Mana looked at him curiously.

"Okay. Wow. I don't want to be rude, but I feel like I've made that very obvious." Joseph looked down at the floor.

"So no?" Mana stared at him, one ear flicking.

"What? No, I-you are really bad with girls, huh. No, I definitely like you."

Joseph looked up

"Oh! Oh man, I made that so awkward. I'm sorry. I really didn't- we've been friends for so long, I just wasn't sure if... you know. Sorry."

Mana laughed. "You're right. That was really awkward. But yeah, I really do like you." A concerned look came over Joseph's face.

"Is that okay though?" Mana looked at him, confused. "What do you mean?" Joseph looked at his door, then back at her. "It's just. You know. We're-different." Mana's ears twisted towards the floor then back. Joseph continued, carefully. "I'm human- you're a Mutyei."

Mana's face hardened, her eyes steeling before she shook herself and responded.

"That doesn't matter." Her eyes gained a glassy sheen, then she blurted out "Is that- do you care about that? I'm sorry. I overstepped myself. I shouldn't have- we can stay just friends if that's what you want." Joseph just stared at the ground. A tear rolled down her face, and she wiped it off and looked up at the roof. "I'm sorry. Um- do you want to play a board game? You like Go, we can play that." Joseph took a deep breath then addressed her.

"No. You're right. It doesn't matter. I- I love you too." Mana let out a long shaky breath.

"Oh my god. Yeah, that's- that's cool by me. That's cool." Joseph smiled.

"'That's cool'? That's your response? Well, I think-" he was interrupted by the squeaking of someone coming up the stairs. "It's my dad. We'll continue this after." Mana nodded.

Joseph's father knocked on the door, then opened it. He was a tall man with a long beard, a long shot from Joseph's lanky figure. He waved at Mana.

"Nice to see you over here, Mana. How's the family?" Mana smiled at him. "Very nice to see you to, Mr. Berggam. We're doing well. How's the open pit at work project going?

He sighed.

"It's going." He looked at Joseph. "I came to tell you that I'll be out for the night. I've just got a call that says I'm needed at the site. I'll probably be sleeping in one of the trailers, so I won't be back till morning. You got that?" They both nodded.

"Joseph, you should walk Mana home tonight. That bastard Greenwood is still on the run."

Joseph hesitated. "He was four counties away last they saw." Joseph's father grunted.

"Who knows what other freaks are out there. Anyway, I gotta go. Tell your family I said hi,, Mana." He closed the door and the squeaks marking his descent were heard. Mana looked at Joseph.

"Who's Greenwood?" He cleared his throat. "Escapee from Mattatago Prison." Her ears drooped momentarily.

"Oh."

Mana clapped her hands on her thighs. "Well. Hmm. Oh yeah, what was that 'comment' again?" Joseph shook his head.

"It's really stupid."

"Tell me." Joseph took a deep breath.

"I could make you scream eerily during mating season." Mana snorted, then laughed.

"That- that was terrible!" She doubled over, laughing like crazy. Joseph put his hands out in a 'what did you expect' pose.

"I told you!" Mana attempted a few times to compose herself, finally succeeding.

"Can I say something even stupider?" Joseph crossed his arms.

"Sure." She lost her composure a few times before managing to get out

"Let's test it out." Joseph looked at her funny.

"Actually?" Mana looked back at him, blush creeping onto her face.

"Um... What are you suggesting exactly?"

Joseph began twiddling his thumbs.

"Well... We could-" his voice got very quiet and he winced- "Have sex?" Mana replied with

"Wow. That was a very romantic way to put it." Joseph glanced at her before focusing very hard on the roof and crossing his legs.

"You don't have to. It's fine if you don't." Mana got up from the bed and plopped onto his crossed leg. He looked at her with surprise. She locked eyes with him, then cupped the back of his head and pulled it towards hers.

He felt her warm lips press against his, then a foreign object enter between them, as she pushed her tongue towards his. He responded in like, exploring her mouth, mapping her palate with his tongue, slowly working his way deeper. She released a moan into his mouth, a breath of life that made him remember why he'd crossed his legs. This time however, he presented his lap, feeling her weight upon him as he discovered the mountains and valleys of her velum and alveolar ridge. She broke contact, inhaling a shaky breath. Her ears were drooped low, her eyes closed. Catching her breath, she snaked a hand towards where his pants bulged.

"Wow." Joseph laughed.

"Wow what? The kiss or-" He stopped mid-sentence as she began trying to undo his pants. "Here- Stand up real quick?"

She got off his lap and sat on the bed. He too stood up, his pants falling to the ground, exposing boxers stretched tight. He took off his shirt and socks, then finally removed the last piece, exposing his member. Mana stammered.

"That's supposed to fit- you know what, nevermind." Joseph got onto the bed, reaching his arms around to undo her dress. Her eyes went wide. "Wait, stop." He stopped, pulling his arms to his side. She sat up. "Do you have a condom?" Joseph shook his head.

"We don't need one, right?" She looked at him with surprise.

"Pardon me?" Joseph looked at her. "Yeah. Humans and Mutyei obviously can't-" She interrupted him.

"Yeah they can. I have relatives who are mixed." Joseph frowned. Then he got up.

"My dad probably has some for when his girlfriend comes over. I'll be right back." He put on his boxers and shirt, then went to his father's room.

Mana picked up a rubber ball from his dresser and began bouncing it. A few minutes later Joseph came back in. "I found some!" Mana placed the ball back on the dresser and watched him come over. He took off his clothes again then carefully opened and put on the condom. He sat back on the bed and Mana laid down in front of him.

"I'm all yours." He laid against her, reaching around and finishing undoing her dress. She put her arms out and he pulled off the dress, evoking a shiver from her. She now laid bare, covered only by thin panties and a bra. She looked at him with her beautiful hazel eyes. He took in the way light from the window reflected brightly off her pale skin, as if she herself were glowing. He put his legs on either side of her, towering over top.

He took his hand, and starting with her neck slowly dragged it down the length of her torso, ending on her hips. He got off, and carefully slid her panties off, exposing her labia. She spoke up. "Please go gentle. I haven't done this before." He nodded. Reaching down in between her thighs, he lightly stroked her slit with the tip of his finger, causing her to let out a sigh. Going further, he entered his finger into her, as a gasp left her mouth. "Oh. Oh god." He pushed it in, and as she arched her back slightly, pulled it back out. She let out a little whimper. "Please. Please go more." He took his cock, and holding it with his hand lined it up with her now shiny wet sheath.

"Yes. I will."

He eased himself into her, as his piece crossed the boundary between him and her. She moaned, and gasped as he pulled out halfway. On the next instroke she moaned again, quieter. Leaning over to lock lips with her once more, he began thrusting, getting ever so slightly faster each jab. As he entered his tongue into her mouth, he felt her quiver, then shake, letting loose a moan which escaped from between their mouths. He felt something wet spurt across his groin, as she fell limp.

He felt something inside him build, a consuming fire in his stomach, desperate to be fed. He grunted as he finished, his eyes closing in ecstasy. He pulled out, spent a few moments breathing. Getting up and maneuvered himself beside her on the bed, pulling the blanket over them. She rolled over to cuddle him. Nuzzling into his shoulder, she whispered to him:

"I'll love you forever."
