Harem Scarum
Chapter 10: Filling Up the Corners
Monday Morning (August 7)
Tara scrunched up her eyes to block out the sunlight seeping through the windows, and tried to nuzzle her head further into Cassie's breasts. She'd been able to use her powers to keep up with the dog-girl chasing the squirrel-girl easily enough, but being left with the device had turned out to be more compelling than watching her roommate catch and fuck Nikita. She didn't entirely trust herself to use it, at least not without Cassandra's permission and supervision, and wasn't sure if it had enough of a charge anyway. But simply holding it gave her a curious feeling of kinship, as if it had a mission similar to her own. Of course, it was an inanimate object and words like that didn't really apply to it, but she wondered if the person who had created it might have been a faery as well. She couldn't think of any way to test her hypothesis, but perhaps someday she could meet Madelyn, the former occupant of her new room, who was supposedly trying to research the device and how it came into her family. In the meantime, she'd satisfied herself with using the scanning and diagnostic functions, seeing how it rated her dominance and gender preferences.
Cassie had woken Tara briefly sometime in the wee hours of the morning, climbing into bed with her. They'd made out for a little while, and the taste of Nikki was still strong on the dog-girl's breath, but they had been too tired to do much else. Feeling the redhead stir and shift, though, the petite girl resigned herself to the inevitable. She pulled back enough to let her lover sit up, yawning and stretching.
"It's too bad you lost track of us last night," Cassie said sleepily, ruffling Tara's bedhead affectionately. "Nikita is a wild fuck when she's a night squirrel or whatever."
Not wanting to get into a discussion about why she'd abandoned the pursuit, Tara changed the subject. "What are your plans for the day?"
Groaning, Cassie replied, "I've got my first final today, and a study group for the one tomorrow. Then my last exam is on Thursday. I always get so stressed out from testing!" Smiling, she added, "I know Rose has a final today as well, in the same building, so I should be able to zap her before or afterwards."
"Or you could, if you hadn't abandoned your 'magic wand' on the rooftop last night," Tara said with exaggerated solemnity. She couldn't prevent her mouth from quirking slightly at the brief expression of panic on her roommate's face, which gave away her ruse.
"You brat!" exclaimed Cassie, reaching over and pinching one of Tara's tiny nipples. "I guess I should give you better thanks for bringing it with you. I'm not usually that careless." Hesitating slightly, she then asked, "Um, what did you do with it when you got home?"
"I left it under a pillow in your room," Tara said, while returning the favor and squeezing two of Cassandra's lower nipples. "I played around with scanning myself, but didn't want to risk anything else."
"You're a good friend!" Cassie said, leaning down and delivering a passionate kiss. "I wish I had time to thank you properly, but I've got to get my tail up and moving."
"Your tail rarely
stops
moving!" Tara teased, reaching around to grasp the wagging appendage and stroking it a few times.
"You know what I mean!" the redhead huffed, rolling her eyes and then climbing out of the bed. "I'll bring something to eat when I come home, okay?" She paused on her way out the door and added, "And maybe
someone
to eat, too!"
Monday Mid-Day (August 7)
Cassie was sprawled out in the grass, partially under the shade of an oak tree, decompressing after her exam. She was confident she'd done fine, but still felt frazzled and almost queasy as her test anxiety slowly drained away. She hadn't seen Rose before going to class, but a peek into the room confirmed that the muscular young woman was still in the midst of her own final, so Cassie found herself waiting and daydreaming about how close she was to her goal of a fully transformed harem. A babble of voices interrupted her fantasies, indicating that her vigil was concluded. Seeing her equally nude friend starting to walk away, Cassie whistled shrilly and waved to get her attention. Rose waved back and started jogging toward her.
"Hey Cass!" the girl called out as she approached, the bells attached to her labial piercings jingling merrily. "I didn't expect to see you here!"
"I decided to wait around after my test and see if you wanted to get lunch together," the redhead explained, standing up and brushing pieces of dry grass off her rump.
"Groovy!" Rose said. Cassandra assumed that meant 'yes' since it was accompanied by a smile.
