[CAM] Chapter 8 - Baby Steps

Arthom woke up and felt the warm body of Laila against his. They had fallen asleep in his bed again, arm in arm, after a heated session of mating.

He sucked in the air through his nose and it twitched in the soft smell that waved out from under the cover. He noticed that the smell was a bit lighter than last night, even though a lot of the smell still lingered in the room as well.

Arthom caressed the back of the head of the girl, while he opened his eyes to see, that the sun was already shining bright behind the curtains.

He stayed like this and watched the little mouse in front of him, that snuggled her back against his chest.

His hand moved lower and caressed over the silky fur at her chest and belly, played a bit with her dugs and then over her legs.

The tail of the girl wiggled a bit between them and Arthom noticed that she was slowly waking up.

"Good Morning my sunshine!" he whispered when he saw her nose twitching. "Have you slept well?"

The girl needed one more minute until she opened her eyes and finally responded. "I slept warm and safe in your arm." She squeaked softly and her arms hugged his, which was now placed lightly over her flank and with his hands on her chest.

"What do you want to do today?" he asked and like an answer, he heard her stomach growl. "After breakfast I mean." He chuckled and the girl pinched him into his hand.

"Ouch!" he said and stopped chuckling. "Should we take a shower first?" he asked, and the girl nodded. She seemed a lot calmer than the day before. He also noticed that something else was different.

At the last days, he had always woken up with an hardon from her smell and now, even though he felt his member creep out half erect, it was not as intensive as before.

Arthom pulled away the cover and the smell, that built up over night, faded away. She clearly was not emitting so much smell anymore and Arthom knew that this meant that her heat was at its end.

The panther boy felt at the same time disappointment, because he had enjoyed her smell and the action they had have, but also excitement, because his head felt clearer and now they would be able to do so many more things.

He carried the girl to the shower and while he tried to find the right mix of warm and cold water, the girl slowly woke up completely and rubbed the sleep out of her eyes.

"Are you feeling good today?" he asked, when he turned around to the girl, the mist of the shower behind him.

"I don't feel so hot and tingly anymore." She explained and smiled at him. "Yes, I noticed that your heat went down." he explained and leaned down to give her a kiss.

"I think we could go to the pool today, now that you are not in heat anymore, what do you think?" Arthom stepped into the shower and let the warm water run down his body.

"That would be nice. We have been in the house for days." She replied and he felt her step into the shower behind him.

"Talking about days..." he turned around and kneeled to give her a kiss, damping her facial fur with his already soaking wet fur in the face.

"... we already have Friday. Our parents will be back the day after tomorrow. So you decide what you want to do these days, okay? I want you to have the most fun ever." He smiled at her but suddenly got a serious face. "And remember, we can't tell them that we..." he stopped and looked at her.

"... you mean that we mated and that we are boyfriend and girlfriend?" she asked. Arthom nodded. "I know, you told me a few times already." He smiled again. "Sorry. I was not sure if you remembered everything I said while you were in heat. I heard a heat can be quire confusing for a girl."

"It is, but I would never forget anything you said." She looked at the bracelet he made for her and tried to open the knot that kept it together. She did not manage with one hand and held it up for him to undo it.

"It should not break from a bit of water, but better safe than sorry, right?" she asked and undid the knot.

"Do you want me to check if we can get a hook or something else that it easier to undo?" he continued, but she shook her head. "I don't want to lose it, so it is good that it is hard to get off." She explained.

After she placed the bracelet on the cupboard and went back into the shower, the two stopped talking and started to kiss while lathering each other up. Arthom enjoyed the kiss and the tough of the small hands. This was his girlfriend.

He ran his hands over her shoulders, her back, her hind, her tail and her legs, then he moved to the front and massaged her dugs while he glided over her belly and scratched her button a bit, which made her moan.

He only made her moan for a minute before he continued to rub the soap into her fur more seriously. When they stepped out of the shower, Arthom felt fresh and clean. There was no heat scent in the bathroom anymore, but only the scent of the shampoo on their fur.

The panther boy helped Laila to dry her fur, which was much faster than afterwards, when she helped him dry his fur. Not only was his fur a bit longer, it also was much more, because he was so much bigger than her.

"What do you want for breakfast?" he asked, when they left the shower and parted on the floor, because Laila had all her clothes in the guest room.

"Ham and Eggs?" she asked and Arthom smiled. "Ham and Eggs it is then!" he replied and the girl giggled.

"Make sure to bring your swimsuit with you, so we don't forget it." He reminded her, before he entered his room.

His room still smelled heavily from their actions last night and a bit of her heat still lingered in the room. With a sigh, and a small look town at his half erect member, that crawled out from the smell, he took his sheets and the cover and made a pile on the floor with it. He would have it washed this evening and he also thought that they might have to clean every room in the house and make sure nothing of the smell remained.

Arthom opened the window to his room and the door and also went over to the shower to open the small window there together with the door to have the air circulate better.

When he put on his clothes, he noticed that even though it was early and the sun just showed its full brightness, with a bit of red still mixed in, it was extremely hot outside. H thought that it might be chilly, but it was warmer outside than inside.

He was happy, that his member vanished in his pouch again by the time he pulled his underpants and pants over it. He chose a black shirt and black jeans, which tuned in with his fur color, so that it was hard to tell where the fur started.

He packed his swimming trunk into his sports bag, that he recovered from a corner of his room, and fetched some towels from the bathroom for both of them.

Then he went downstairs, put the bag on the couch and went to the kitchen to prepare the ham and eggs that Laila requested.

The girl came in a few minutes later and when Arthom turned around, he nearly dropped the pan.

He stood there with open muzzle and just stared at her.

She wore a light blue dress and stood directly in the ray of the sun that shone through the window. It seemed like her dress and her fur glowed bright and he had no words. She looked angelic.

"You look awesome." He finally managed to say, and the girl giggled, crossed her arms, and looked to the ground shy. "You are the most beautiful and cute girl for sure." He slowly got back to his senses and saved the ham and egg from falling out of the pan, that had sunk down more and more while he had been staring at the girl.

Laila giggled again and he made haste to put the food on the plates before he would really drop them. "One serving of Ham and Eggs!" he introduced the food to her, and she laughed at his curtesy bow afterwards. "Only the best for the princess." He said with a smirk on his muzzle, when he put the second half of it on his plate and put the pan into the sink.

They ate silently without any words, but the eyes of Arthom were drawn to Laila every minute and when their eyes met, the girl giggled and quickly looked down on her food. This made her even cuter in Arthoms opinion and he felt pride dwelling deep inside himself that he had her as a girlfriend.

He stopped caring about how others would see them, how unusual it was for a panther and a mouse and even about their age difference. He just thought about her and spending a wonderful day with his loved little mouse.

Arthom held the hand of Laila tight and she also grabbed strong at his hand. For others this might have seen as innocent, an older kid making sure the younger kid did not get lost, but they did not even think about others that could see them.

They had waited at the boss, sitting next to each other, and holding hands, while she leaned her head against his arm.

In the bus, Arthom took the girl on his lap, holding her tight in his embrace, because it was so full, that there were not two seats next to each other for them.

They did not notice the smiles and gazes of people around them, that seemed to think how cute they looked together, the big black panther boy and the small white mouse.

They hit the family pool a few hours later, a bit after the big rush, and found each a cabin to change their clothes. They only met after they exited the respective showers for men and women and again locked hands to walk slowly towards the wild water pool.

Usually, Arthom would jump in and be wild, because he loved the family pool, but today he was calm and just followed Laila in her pace.

The girl, else also a bundle of energy around here and a water lover, also seemed to have all the time in the world this day.

"Hey Laila? Who is this?" both turned to the side to see a bunny around Laila's age, just exiting the pool with drenched fur that clink to her curves. She had brown fur, that cling to her subtle curves and wore a white swimsuit.

Laila too a few seconds before she seemed to have ripped her thoughts out of her daydream and she turned to the bunny. Her black swimsuit was a complete contrast not only to her fur but also to the swimsuit of her friend.

"Oh, hello Maia." She finally identified the stranger bunny. "This is Arthom, you know the panther from next door. He is watching over me, while our parents are on a trip."

"So he is your babysitter?" the girl asked, and her blue eyes blinked shy when Arthom looked her into the face.

"He is quite handsome." She whispered barely loud enough that they could hear her over the screams in the pool.

"At least much better than the old dog that uses to babysit me and my brothers." The girl continued.

Laila did not reply and there was a long while in silence, in which the bunny seemed to be embarrassed about her words and let her long ears hang down.

"Are your brothers also here?" Arthom asked to break the silence. The bunny's ears shot up again and her nose twitched.

"Yes, I am sure they are on the slide." She replied and this question seemed to have blown away her shyness.

"I need to rest for a bit." Maia said. "But we need to go on the slide together later, promise?" Laia nodded and smiled at the girl. She began to triple on the ground and Arthom could see, that the excitement got to her and the calm peaceful time they had for themselves would have to wait for later.

They did everything. The wild water stream, that went once around the whole pool area with a little twister at the end.

Then the jumping boards, where Arthom had to, after Laila's plea, show off a summersault.

They went to the whirlpools and to the many different slides and after half an hour, Maia also joined them and went around together with them.

Laila chatted with her friend from school most of the time and Arthom just stayed close to make sure the two girls did not drown, what nearly happened to Maia once, when she came out of the slide and dove underwater and got water into her lung.

The panther carried her out of the pool, leaned her forward and hit her back a few times, until the girl has coughed out all the water.

His role was not the one of the secret lover anymore, but the babysitter that took care of the neighbors kid and her friends, but Arthom did not complain. He was happy to see Laila so cheerful and energetic after being holed up in the house for a few days.

It got very late and the pool was near to closing the doors, when Maia was fetched by her parents, who thanked Arthom to look over their daughter as well, and Arthom and Laila also went into the shower and then towards the booths to change.

Now, where everyone was storming the booths, it was hard to find two vacant ones, but Arthom discovered one free family booth and guided Laila to this booth.

They got out of their swimsuits quickly and Arthom helped her to dry the fur when his nose twitched and took a sniff from her nethers.

She was clearly not in heat anymore, but she emitted a very faint female scent. Without a warning, Arthom began to lick over her slit and even though the girl eeped and looked at him in surprise, she did not push him away but moaned with the towel between her teeth to muffle her sounds.

When her insides juiced up from his saliva and her arousal, he put her on the table, that was usually there to diaper babies, and lined up his rock-hard rod with her entrance.

The little girl squeaked and groaned under the towel when he pushed forward. Arthom felt that even though she was lubricated, she was much tighter than she had been during her heat. Also, she was not so hot inside and it was harder to push in.

He wanted to pull out, but this made her wince and groan even louder, because the barbs now scratched into her sensitive flesh, which was not numbed by her heat and arousal like before.

The panther boy pushed a bit deeper again and only took momentum, with very little pulls back, to not hurt her more, but he hammered forward a few times and slipped in deeper into her, while she bit on the towel with a single tear in her eyes but not giving him any signs to stop.

She seemed to like it more when he pushed, than when he pulled back.

Finally, he pushed himself all the way in somehow, and when he pulled her up and let her rest on his base, she sighed and let go of the towel.

"Sorry." He whispered into her ears, while the girl threw her arms around his chest. "I did not want to hurt you. It seems you are far too tight outside your heat."

The girl looked up his chest into this face and whispered back. "It is okay. It did hurt quite a bit, but I don't mind if this means that we are connected. But when you pulled back, I nearly forgot to breathe."

Arthom caressed over her head and behind her ears. "I noticed that this was extra painful. Let's stay like this and wait for my member to go down."

He started to purr, and the vibrations sent shivers of arousal through both their bodies. Still it took five more minutes for both to come and the locked into a kiss to muffle their moans.

Very slowly, his member shrank down after it pushed a heavy load inside the spunk lubricated her insides and made it easier for him to retreat without hurting his girlfriend.

"I think it will take a while until I get used to this." The girl said. They used the towel to clean up the remainders from his penis and her snatch and put the other towel around it before placing it in the bag. Only a bit of the spunk Laila kept inside and clenched her labia to keep it inside, before pulling her underpants over her slit.

They made haste to get clothed and leave the pool, because there had been a few times when people banged at the booth to make them hurry up and free it. Arthom just hoped that no one suspected anything about what happened in there.

Arthom felt a chill between his ears. He had rushed the drying of his fur after this unplanned incident in the booth and forgot a bit of a damp spot on his head, but even though the air got cooler because the sun began to set, it still dried completely during the time they waited for the bus.

When they came home, Laila was so tired, that he had to carry her to his bed. He had to shower her again and put her clothes into the washing machine, because when she relaxed inside the bus, she leaked the remainders of his cum and her snatch and underwear were slick from the mix.

Arthom also was dead tired when he slipped next to the girl and snuggled against her.

"I am sorry, that I was too eager. I think we should wait a bit with further sex when you are not in heat. We have all time in the world, as long as we have each other. We will go baby steps..."

Laila only let out a very silent agreeing squeak and in the next second, both already were fast asleep arm in arm.
