Desirae sighed, straightening the blue ribbons wrapped around her rounded, fluffy ears. She was preening and she knew it. She then used a brush to manage the ends of her shoulder length hair to get it in some semblance of order. She'd stayed up far too late last night watching a documentary on the metallurgy involved in making a viking sword.
Her late husband would have been right there with her, bless his heart. Her daughter had ridiculed her for it this morning. She felt there was a loss between her generation and this one: the urge to learn, to discover, to engage.
With an even heavier sigh Desirae tossed the brush down onto the vanity and lifted her large clawed paws to begin the process of straightening her breasts. At nearly forty, she'd only just started wearing a braâand even it was only as a preventative measure to keep her breasts from sagging prematurely. She thought that with proper care they may not sag until her sixties.
Desirae straightened her silk Chinese dress while admiring the beautiful patterns in the mirror. It clung to her every curve, leaving just enough to the imagination to add the allure. A man was visiting, after all.
The circular thinking which brought to bear the root of her irritation.
Her step-daughter Stacy was leading some sweet young man on. And for nothing more than his tutelage at that! Desirae was aghast at the idea of leading any man onâyou were either interested, or not. In her own college years she thought she may have slept with him alreadyânot for the tutelage, mind you, she wasn't a prostitute. But more as appreciation for taking the time to show he really cared and reciprocating.
Shrugging in exasperation as she turned and bent slightly over to check her derriere, she supposed it was merely the difference between species. Humans had some strange ideas, after all.
But Desirae was a Ren Xiangmaoâa literal panda girl. With Jessica Rabbit curves trimmed in soft silky black and white fur. Further, she was a Mamonoâa literal monster girl. Sex incarnate, liberally sprinkled with lust, and several dashes of desire.
Preening. She knew she was doing it once again. Though she judged she still had the posterior of an adult film star, making her smile. It wasn't like the young man was coming to see her, but her step-daughter.
Though Stacy was no slouch. Gaining from her father's Scotch-Irish ancestry the fiery hair and temper, she had her own racetrack curves that turned heads even in the company of Mamono. Stacy's greatest flaw was her selfish petulance.
Me. Me. Me.
With a roll of the eyes so deep she thought she could almost see her own brain, Desirae set to hunting through the massive amount of Stacy's cosmetics on the vanity. Perhaps the greatest benefit of being a Mamono was that she'd never have to spend a dime on the cosmetic every human woman seemed to spend thousands of dollars per year on. Finding the lip glossâcherry flavoredâshe applied a light coat.
Not because she was worried about chapped lipsâDemon Lord, no! Not in Savannah, Georgiaâbut because she absolutely loved the slight taste whenever her tongue made contact with her lips. Whether in thought, biting a lip, or just for kicks. It was always a pleasant surprise to have a sweet taste just an involuntary tick away. When upset, it makes the world just a little better.
Desirae leaned out the restroom door and looked down the stairs into the dining room, where her daughter was chewing the end of her pencil trying to will the Trigonometry answers onto the paper as if by magic.
Turning back to the mirror, Desirae pulled her top to show off just a touch more cleavage. Stacy could do much worse than a fairly handsome engineering student who got a free ride and would probably finish up his last year at MIT.
Desirae had cookies in the oven and really needed to attend to them. It pleased her to no end to have a man around regularly who ate with real gusto, not nitpicked over food like her constantly dieting daughter. As she came down the stairs she heard Ezra speaking, his slow southern accent absolutely charming, all in a soothing baritone.
"A man is staring at a tower exactly fifty feet tall. From where he is standing can tell the angle of elevation from the ground to the building's peak is forty-one degrees. So, now determine how far away he is standing."
Desirae smiled when she saw Ezra briefly look down Stacy's blouseâjust for a momentâthen he was all business in explaining the equation to her. She shook her head as she made her way into the kitchen to check on the cookies, opening the oven and bending over with a toothpick to check them. Her daughter had moderate, but well-shaped breasts.
Desirae nodded approvingly, over both Ezra and the cookies. She was sure that had he been her handsome tutor during university they'd have made a fine couple. Stacy should really learn to emulate her.
*******
Ezra sighed, just before checking out Stacy's blouse again. The girl had some very nice curves, though with a moderate bust line she did boast an impressive set of hips with a behind to match. He checked to ensure she was still engrossed in the math before looking ahead into the kitchen.
Stacy's mother was bent over, the fur of her legs highlighting the silk of her asian dress, even as her plump ass pushed up against it. It was an amazing sight, causing an uncomfortable stir in his loins. He looked for as long as he dared until glancing back at Stacy's math.
It was wrong. In the most profound sense of the word. He began to correct her. "Listen. The angle listed is your tangent, right? So..." He continued on in a friendly rote.
Ezra knew Stacy was leading him on with all the flirtation. He was a third-year student and knew how things worked. He just rather enjoyed all the beautiful company and the great food. He lived alone in a studio apartment off-campus and spent most of his time studying, hoping to limit his insane student debt by filling up his time with classes and getting ahead. He had all the coursework done for five years in going for his masters, a school that was accredited with MIT so he could finish up his degree there. At a significantly lower cost. Stacy provided a scenic environment. Her mother did the same, but sat an excellent table.
It also didn't help that he looked like a linebacker gone soft after retirement. All his academic hard-work didn't help his physique any. He'd put on a few pounds despite spending at least four hours at the gym every week. Perhaps he should look into going on a diet.
Alas, his plans of dieting were dispelledâDRAT!âwhen Desirae sat a tray of cookies on the table before him. "Help yourself," she told him with a flirty wink.
Ezra gave her a reserved smile, that was partially in awe. He'd always liked pandas. Never expected to see a Ren Xiangmao on this side of the big water. "Yes, Ma'am." He said burning his fingers on one of the hot cookies but barely noticing.
Blowing on the cookie he turned back to a visibly upset Stacy. Though she was stewing over the equation and not his ogling of her step-mother. "Now, there's no need to worry. Trig has been around since the third century. Back then they thought it was some kind of magic and not just difficult math. Here, I'll give you the answer. Try and work it out backwards. Fifty-eight feet." He told her his mouth partially full of delicious chewy chocolate chip cookie-sex. Well, as close as he'd gotten to sex in the past three years, but a lot of that was by design. No one to blame but himself.
Stupid self, he thought.
Though he could think of worse ways to spend a Thursday afternoon in Savannah than being given cookies at a dining room table with two extremely pretty women. Well, his penis didn't like it was trapped to the confines of his pants, citing cruel and unusual punishment.
