Virgin speech
Discussion of the F/F side of hyena sexuality. No actual sex :(
Language note: 'Fucking' means being the receptive partner in the femdom context of hyenas.
"Are you seriously giving me the virgin speech?"
Nuru stopped, cut off in mid sentence. The other hyena woman in her bed was sitting up, naked, and giving her an angry look. Nuru bristled reflexively, taking stock of her surroundings (her own bedroom, messier than usual with the comforter mostly on the floor) and the time (morning light in the windows). And she tried to remember what she had been saying.
"...yes," she admitted.
"This is not the first time I've been fucked by a woman, you know."
She wasn't letting it drop. Nuru snorted. "Yeah, I gather that." She closed her eyes and exhaled. "If you want to do the guy thing, ah...Imani?" The other hyena didn't audibly react, so the name was probably right. Yeah, definitely. "Then I assume you're okay with the whole guy thing, so..." She held up her hand and made the walking symbol with her fingers. "Don't feel like you have to annotate your way out."
"I'm not interested in 'the whole guy thing.' Just more interested in women. I'm not playing at being a man."
Right, because men knew when to shut up, she thought to herself, but didn't say it. "Listen. Imani. Whatever your thing is...that's great. I don't judge. But don't drag me into it. You were there, I was in the mood, there were no other options, I went with it. Don't read anything in to that."
"There were guys there," she noted.
"Yes, but..." She didn't say, 'lame ones,' because she could see where that would go. "Just don't read anything in to it," she reiterated.
Imani shrugged and the weight lifted from the bed. Nuru opened her eyes slightly want watched her rummage around, looking for her clothes, and then sit abruptly on the side of the bed again, putting her underthings on.
"Listen, Imani," Nuru said at last. "You want my advice?"
"I doubt it. Not what I came here for. I know what I like, maybe better than you do."
"Good lord." She snorted exasperation. "You're getting it anyways. I'm your elder, it's my responsibility. Sure, anyone sticks her dick in just whatever when they are growing up. Laundry, holes in fences, guys, other girls? No one cares. You just gotta grow out of it, or people talk."
She was silent, buttoning her shirt, but responded at last. "Yes I know that. I'm not an idiot." She shot Nuru a sharp glance. "No one forced you into bed with me."
"I'm not the one sticking my dick in some other lady like a man. I fuck you, take your cock, who cares? People hear about it, hey, there's some cachet there. I'm such a woman I got other ladies sniffing after me. You try bragging about what you do..." She shook her head. "Just don't. You want to take advantage of some lady that likes you well enough some evening, hey, go crazy. I wasn't complaining." She laughed. "Just don't make it a lifestyle, hun. Or, I don't know, go get fucked by non-hyenids, I hear they're into that."
Imani was putting her underwear on, pulling the band up over her penis, and she grimaced in a pained way. "There's nothing wrong with non-hyenid women. But...just...nothing there." She started, then quickly added, "I mean, I'm not saying that they don't have...I mean nothing attraction wise. They are definitely functionally female. Just not for me."
"I don't think I've ever heard hyena species pride quoted as a defense for lesbianism before."
"Yeah, well, I say all sorts of crazy shit. I'm empowered to, being a woman."
"Possibly the worst one."
"Probably."
Nuru shut her eyes and groaned. "Give me a few minutes and I'll make you toast before you go. Only toast. And whatever jam is still left. Only because I admire your doomed individualism."
Imani snorted back, but smiled, eyes narrowed in feline satisfaction. "Reallllly. Admiration."
"I love car wreck videos also. Don't read anything into it."
