Cat and Mouse Game - Ch 3 - Heating Up
#4 of Cat and Mouse Game
Having finished their unusual yet remarkably tasty goya-burger lunch, Mizune and Kaneko wandered down the shore together. The air was calm and warm and the sound of the waves on the shore was quite peaceful. Occasional shouts from other beachgoers broke the stillness, but their cheerful noise was welcome. Before long, they found a calm and beautiful beach that had lockers and a changing room.
"Want to sunbathe for a bit, Mizu? I always feel so good after I get some sun," Kaneko asked. The red-haired catgirl had bright, vibrant green eyes that sparkled with energy and enthusiasm. Her tan skin and toned muscles made her athleticism obvious as well.
Mizune nodded, smiling slightly. She was nearly a polar opposite from Kaneko, with long white hair, icy blue eyes, and fair skin. Her form was thin, but not scrawny, and her rapidly flicking mouse-tail suggested a wiry energy waiting just underneath her reserved and shy exterior.
"Great! Let's get changed and meet back here." Kaneko eyed Mizune's pale skin for a moment. "And don't worry, I've got plenty of suntan lotion if you need some."
Quietly, Mizune said, "I've got some of my own. I need the strong stuff." With that, she scampered into the changing room.
Kaneko followed after and entered a different changing stall. They got dressed in silence, both thinking about what happened the last time they'd been in one of these stalls. They'd both revealed a lot to each other then, in both body and soul.
Kaneko finished changing first, so she stood outside and waited, fidgeting and kicking at the sand nervously. It wasn't like her to be timid or worry about what other people thought of her, but there was something special about Mizune that made Kaneko really care about her opinion.
Less than a minute later, Mizune stepped out into the bright sunlight, her pure white hair shining brightly. She was wearing the same modest orange and white bikini from the day before, and it still looked just as good on her.
Kaneko licked her lips and thought, Like peaches and cream.
Mizune spotted Kaneko and approached, but she stopped dead when she got a good look at Kaneko's swimsuit. It was a red string bikini with barely any coverage top or bottom. The tiny triangles were barely big enough to cover her nipples, and the bottom wasn't much larger.
Kaneko grinned. "Like it? I got it to reduce tan lines," she said, which was mostly true. She'd also bought it because of how damn sexy she looked in it. Then she spun around, showing Mizune the thong back of the bikini.
Mizune had opened her mouth as if to speak, but she froze that way with her eyes glued to Kaneko's booty. The catgirl was fit and toned, and she had an amazing butt, but that red thong bikini was showcasing it too well. Mizune's inexperienced mind was overloaded. All conscious thought was replaced by wants and needs and images and fantasies.
When Kaneko turned back around, Mizune didn't even move, her eyes still fixed on the spot where Kaneko's thong had been.
"Ahem." Kaneko stepped up right in front of Mizune, crouched down, and peered up at her with a smirk. "You alright in there, Mizune?" Kaneko had partially expected a response like this, since Mizune had been so flustered by a glimpse of Kaneko's thong underwear the day before. Good. If I can get her heated up and attracted to me, maybe she'll open up more.
Mizune blinked her wide blue eyes and came back to reality. She hid her mouth with her hands and mumbled, "Yeah, sorry. Shall we find a spot on the beach?"
"Yep, yep!" Kaneko turned and skipped across the beach, making sure to wiggle her tail and booty at Mizune on the way. She found a great spot and threw out a huge beach towel, wide enough for two. "This'll do nicely."
Mizune set her bag down and dug out some heavy-duty sunscreen, which she'd already applied once that day. With skin as pale as hers, she had to be extra diligent to avoid getting sunburned. She squirted some on her hand and started spreading it on her arms, but Kaneko stepped up and put out a hand.
"Can I help? I can get your back," Kaneko asked.
Mizune blushed so red it looked like she'd already been sunburned, but she said, "S-sure."
She handed the bottle to Kaneko and went back to rubbing sunscreen into her arms, chest and neck. She jolted in surprise and shivered a little when Kaneko touched her back with cold sunscreen-covered hands.
"Sorry about that, Mizu," Kaneko said.
"No problem, it was just colder than I expected, that's all." Mizune tried to focus on applying sunscreen, but the sensation of Kaneko's strong hands rubbing against her back was beyond distracting. Kaneko's hands even slid under the straps of Mizune's bikini top, triggering a particularly vivid vision of being undressed by those same hands.
Before she knew it, they were finished and Mizune was thoroughly protected from the sun. She was a little sad that it was over, at least until Kaneko held out her own bottle of suntan lotion.
"Now, do me," she said with a grin that suggested that she knew exactly how lewd that sounded.
Mizune blushed, but only slightly. It seemed that she'd built up a little resistance to Kaneko's antics, or maybe normal innuendo just couldn't compare to Kaneko's beautiful bikini body. Mizune nodded and took the bottle. "Sure thing, Kane."
With creamy lotion on her hands, Mizune ran her palms over Kaneko's firm shoulders and back. As she slid her hands over Kaneko's skin, she could feel the toned muscle beneath. She worked her way downwards, but she froze when her fingers got close to that devilishly skimpy red thong.
Kaneko turned around just then. "I've got it from here," she said, then grabbed the bottle of lotion and squeezed some into her other hand. "Since my suit's so small, I gotta get all under it, and that would probably be a bit much for you," she teased.
She rubbed her hands together, then slipped her hands under the tiny t-back of her swimsuit, and rubbed lotion all over her lower back and butt, right up to the base of her tail.
Kaneko did the same on the front, pulling her suit away from her body just enough for Mizune's wandering eyes to see a bit more than she'd intended. Mizune's face turned red, like Kaneko's hair down there, which was trimmed into a neat triangle like an arrow toward--
"All done!" Kaneko cheered, startling Mizune from her fantasies. Then she lowered herself to the big beach towel and laid down on her belly. "I'm gonna start on my back first and turn over in about fifteen. Sound good?"
Mizune nodded and settled down next to Kaneko on the beach towel. She was surprised at how quickly she'd become comfortable around Kaneko, as if they were back in middle school again. As if they hadn't been apart at all.
After half an hour of dozing in the sun, Kaneko sat upright on the towel. She took a couple deep breaths to work up the nerve, then turned to look at Mizune.
Mizune was already looking right at Kaneko, watching her closely with her big blue eyes. Her big round ears were perked and alert.
"Wah!" Kaneko's tail frizzed up and she fell backwards in surprise. "You spooked me, Mizu. What's up?"
Mizune shook her head slightly, which sent her sleek white hair sliding over her shoulder. "You first. It looked like you had something major to say."
Kaneko blushed. "Alright. I guess I, uh... if you wanna hang out in private, I wanted to invite you--"
"Hold on," Mizune interrupted, quiet but forceful. "I know what you want, and I... I just think..."
Kaneko wilted, worried that Mizune was already decided against it. Did I come across too strong? Does she think I want sex already? I only wanted to hang out, and maybe make out, that's all...
Suddenly, Mizune clenched her hands into little fists, squeezed her eyes closed, and blurted, "There's an order to this! We're supposed to kiss first!"
Kaneko burst into laughter. As she bent over laughing, she thought, Mizune is just too cute, and of course she'd want a storybook progression, since she's so new to romance. After she caught her breath, Kaneko said, "You're right, you're absolutely right."
Mizune's eyes were still closed, and her hands still clenched, but now her face was red with embarrassment.
Kaneko scooted along the beach towel until they were side by side, their thighs touching ever so slightly. She grabbed Mizune's fisted hands and gently pried her fingers loose. Then she weaved her fingers between Mizune's. Then she waited. She just watched Mizune patiently, waiting for her to open her eyes. She took the opportunity to appreciate Mizune's delicate lips, her fine white eyebrows, and her cute little nose.
Once Mizune finally opened her eyes, Kaneko leaned forward and gently kissed Mizune's lips. It was delicate, careful, and reserved, especially for Kaneko. She wanted to press their lips together harder, to rush forward into a steamy make-out session right then and there, but she didn't. She kissed Mizune gently and romantically, all while softly squeezing her hands with a level of warmth and care that surprised even her.
They both closed their eyes and for seconds that seemed like hours, Mizune's soft lips pressed gently against Kaneko's. The sun beat down and the waves lapped at the shore, but the two women were somewhere else, lost in that kiss.
Then Mizune leaned forward into the kiss, pressing herself harder against the catgirl. It seemed the timid little mouse liked kissing. A lot.
The corner of Kaneko's lips rose in a smile at Mizune's eagerness. Then that amusement was replaced with surprise as Mizune's lips opened wider and her tongue ventured out. The soft pink tongue cautiously teased across Kaneko's still-closed lips, as if gently knocking for entrance.
Oh? Kaneko thought with a mental grin. I was going to take this slower than that, but if you're ready... Kaneko opened her lips to Mizune's probing tongue, then waited, ready to pounce.
Mizune ventured in, slowly testing the hot, wet inner surface of Kaneko's succulent lips. Emboldened, her tongue crept further and further until it slid along the slick and hard surface of Kaneko's teeth.
As a mousegirl, Mizune had prominent front teeth but barely any incisors to speak of, so her curiosity lead her tongue to one of Kaneko's long and sharp canines. She flicked across the pointed tip, jolting a little at how sharp it really was.
But then Kaneko sprung her trap. She closed her lips down on Mizune's tongue and applied just enough suction to trap it. Then, she brought own tongue, which had been pulled back, forward to touch Mizune's.
Kaneko was hoping to surprise the less experienced girl, but after a tiny pause, Mizune continued exploring with even more passion than before. Both girls twisted and shifted their mouths, sucked in hurried breaths, and pressed their lips and tongues together in an unrestrained makeout session that continued for what seemed like forever.
They were so enthralled that they lost track of time and place, until a voice broke into their private world. "Mommy, what are those girls doing?"
Mizune froze, but before she could pull away, another voice cut in.
"Don't watch, Suiko. What they're doing should be done in private." The woman's voice was intentionally loud, trying to catch the girls' attention. Surprisingly, she took more issue with their racy public display of affection than with their homosexuality.
That got through to Kaneko too and she broke off the kiss. She leaned away from Mizune and pulled her hands free to wipe her lips with the back of her hand. "Uh..." she started, but didn't know what to say. Her face was nearly as red as her hair as she cast her eyes around to see how many people had been watching.
Other than a smiling teenage boy about 50 feet away and the woman with her daughter walking off down the beach, it seemed their sensual kiss hadn't actually drawn that much attention.
Then Kaneko looked back at Mizune, who was still frozen in shock. She'd gotten carried away far beyond her comfort zone and now she snapped back the other direction. The instant Mizune's stiffness thawed, she hastily pulled a towel around her shoulders, hiding her bikini-clad body from the world.
Mizune curled up tighter, her beet-red face barely peeking from under her white hair. "I'm sorry, Kane. I messed up. I don't know why I did that..." she mumbled from between her tented fingers.
"No, it was fine, Mizu! I liked it." Kaneko was smiling like an idiot and her heart was racing. Loved it, actually, she thought but didn't say. "Was that your first time making out?"
Mizune somehow turned even redder. At barely a whisper, she said, "It was my first kiss too."
Kaneko's eyes went wide. She had known that Mizune was inexperienced, but it was mind-boggling that she'd never even kissed anyone before. She's eighteen! She's going to college! Kaneko swallowed hard. I feel guilty, like I'm stealing her innocence...
Kaneko gathered her resolve. In that case, I owe it to her to do this right! With that thought, she wrapped her arms around the towel-cloaked Mizune and hugged her close. "You did great for your first kiss, and thank you for sharing that special moment with me."
