Watering Hole

Commissioned by: Fabius from SoFurry Written by: CrimsonStar

Lorelei and Valni came into view of a tranquil waterhole after a walking for several minutes. Valni, sporting his deep hazelnut fur, had a hard time with the walk, but Lorelei pressed on full of excitement. Aurin followed behind them, rather discontent with the trip. As they got closer, they realized that another party was already playing in the water. Lorelei recognized them with ease. Altayir, with his well defined avian features; Malachi, perched away from the main group, grimaced immediately after he saw Lorelei coming; and finally Nilrasha, in all her canine beauty, playing with Altayir in the water.

"Hi guys!" Greeted Lorelei as she came closer. "This is Valni."

"Hi..." Shyly greeted the cat.

"I'm gonna teach him how to swim!" She empathically informed while taking her clothes off.

"What are you all doing?" Valni complained, his eyes darting among his naked peers.

"Why, getting ready to go in." Loreley informed. "You too. You can't get in with all those clothes on." She turned to Aurin. "Hey! You too, come on."

"I'm coming, I'm coming." Moaned Aurin, who had just came into sight. "Hey Rasha." He addressed her directly.

Aurin was about to squelch, but then Lorelei noticed his eyes slipping towards Nilrasha. He nodded while waving his paw.

"Malachi, why are you doing homework? Come play with us too!"

"I don't know Lorelei... We've got a lot to-"

"If you don't lose your clothes and jump in with us, I'll tell the grownups how you broke that vase last week!"

"You wouldn't." He snarled.

"Wanna bet on that?"

"Fine! I'll join." He finally said.

"See, Valni?" Lorelei asked. Happily turning to the cat. "Everyone does it! It's your turn now."

"I don't know."

"Don't make me undress you myself..." She threatened.

"Okay! Okay! I'll do it." He resigned, beginning to slip off his shirt.

A few minutes later, everyone had jumped into the natural pool and started to splash around. Lorelei was putting a lot of effort into getting Valni to play with the other cubs and enjoy the water. Meanwhile, Altayir was more interested in trying to get Nilrasha's attention by bombarding her with annoying questions and a couple of frankly embarrassing "displays of skill". He alternated between trying to impress Nilrasha and showing off for the rest of the cubs. While he was certainly in good shape, he wasn't particularly outstanding, specially when compared to the muscular and well defined shape of someone like Lorelei, who had spent most of her days forging her body with playful competitions.

At first, they were innocently playing with each other in small groups, everything was going great... until Aurin got a little over excited and threw a ball of mud at Valni's face. What followed was chaos. First, Lorelei replied with an even bigger mud ball, then Nilrasha joined in by completely soiling Malachi. Not ten seconds had passed before Valni decided to throw a couple himself, and finally Altayir thought it would be a great idea to start throwing mudballs by the pawful in every direction. Still, it wasn't hard to tell that Altayir had grown particularly interested in Nilrasha, as he kept chasing and teasing her with every projectile. Trying to flee from Altayir's insistence, Nilrasha pounced Malachi and rolled with him on the mud. After a couple of loops, he found himself on top of her. Malachi couldn't contain his grin, but despite being pinned to the floor, Nilrasha kept challenging him with her gaze.

Malachi was used to roughhousing others while playing, and yet this time there was something different. He found himself breathing heavily over Nilrasha. He was tired from the physical effort, but there was something else making his heart pound so strongly. His eyes met Nilrasha's and a jolt of electricity ran through his body, a strange feeling flocking to his gut. He stood there, unsure of what to do next, until a familiar voice broke the trance. It came from outside his field of view.

"Look at you all! So filthy. What happened here?!"

Malachi pounced away from Nilrasha and hurried to adopt a tame stance, his ears coming low. "Hi mom..." He finally greeted.

The other cubs also greeted Rhea, each in their own tone.

"Oh my... Okay cubs, that's enough for today. You are all going to take a bath. Right. Now." Rhea insisted. Pointing back towards the village.

One by one, the cubs moved out of the water and formed a walking line as they dripped their way back to the village. Rhea didn't scold them any further, but she didn't seem particularly happy either. Malachi was going to be in trouble later that day...

They reached the common baths together, a massive wooden shack somewhat apart from the main village. However, there were not enough buckets for them to bathe at the same time. Instead, they sorted themselves by age, having Nilrasha, Aurin and Altayir go first. There was a small stream entering the room from a corner, they stood beneath and gathered the water to wash themselves. Small bars of artisanal soap laid scattered around the room, the cubs promptly picked them up to start washing themselves.

When the older cubs began to groom, a strange aura flooded the room. Suddenly, the playfulness that ran through their bodies minutes ago vibrated awkwardly until it turned into a warm shill hint in the air. The cubs quieted as the water continued to run. Most of them had bathed together several times before, and usually there was some playfulness to it. But what the cubs were feeling at that moment wasn't quite up to par. They felt curious. As the older cubs washed themselves, the younger watched them with a newfound interest. There was something enticing about their feelings, they felt good, but they couldn't tell exactly what it was.

Malachi's eyes were focused on Nilrasha, the girl felt the stare but seemed to care little for it, as a matter of fact, it seemed as if she was almost enjoying it. Soon all stares fell on Nilrasha. Lorelei couldn't help but notice a slight difference in their body shapes, while they were both equally athletic and with well defined complexions, Nilrasha had something that Lorelei didn't, they were small but easily noticeable. Two bumps in their chest, a breaking silhouette in her otherwise perfectly flat front. Lorelei looked down at herself and averted her gaze when she realized there was nothing even remotely close in her own body. Furthermore, she started to feel a slight warmth in her belly as she continued to stare at her beautiful rival.

The show ended with one final splash of water from Nilrasha. She turned, still with her shill smile curling her snout. "What'cha looking at? It's your turn, pups. Come here, we'll get you all cleaned up." She locked eyes with Malachi. "You're with me. Lorelei, you're with Aurin, and new guy, you're with Altayir." She winked at him. "Come on guys! Here."

Each cub went to his assigned partner and they resumed grooming. Quite mechanically at first, they started with buckets of water and soap rubbing, but a few minutes into it, Altayir catched a strange grimace on Nilrasha's face. She pointed with her eyes towards Lorelei. The avian followed her gaze and noticed that the cubs were intently watching each other without the littlest regard for discretion. When Altayir and Nilrasha's gazes met, they smiled in complicity. Lorelei seemed rather interested in Malachi's body, yet there was a hint of something darker in her eyes. From time to time, she would switch to Nilrasha with a bitter glare. Inside her head, she wished she herself was the one servicing Malachi.

"Hey, Malachi!" Called Nilrasha. "Raise your leg as high as you can so I can clean you well." The cub exchanged another sly grin with his partner.

"You too." Said Aurin to Lorelei. "I need you to bend forward, I'm picking an odd smell from you."

They made them switch positions several times. It was quite evident to the entire room that they were putting a show for each other. They felt uncomfortable, specially Malachi. When Altayir made Lorelei do a pawstand, his inmature manhood introduced an awkward reaction into the show.

After finishing with the bath, they settled to dry themselves. Still in pairs, Lorelei and Malachi laid themselves on the floor. Aurin and Nilrasha took stance above them and began drying them with their tongues. Brushing them with an almost mechanical demeanor. They started with their backs, slowly but steadily fanning their fur. Lorelei began to doze off after a few minutes, but Malachi was clearly experimenting something new. From time to time, Nilrasha would brush off her body against his in a rather provocative manner, to the point that when he turned, he again made it rather uncomfortable for Nilrasha to lick his front dry.

After a few laughs and several minutes of mocking Malachi, the bath was done and the gang made their way back to the village.
