Chapter 3 - Eli's Agitation

With the Vulpix now gone, Leo stood alone in the dimly lit room. The lingering thoughts and emotions over what he had just experienced having left him rooted to the spot. It still didn't quite feel real.

After a long moment he finally stirred as he broke into a stretch before slowly and somewhat reluctantly making his way outside and back into reality.

As he stepped through the door, he was still a little out of it so he hadn't quite been ready for the sudden onslaught of bright light and the influx of noise that had been muffled inside the dingy private room. In a daze, he padded slowly over to the railing and looked down at Captivate as his senses adjusted.

He blinked as the glowing blots swimming across his vision began to form into familiar shapes, Pokemon, humans, and the luminescent glow of the lighting that illuminated the large stage.

At the same time his ears flicked at the various sounds that echoed up to him. Said Pokemon and Humans shuffling about, the clank of glasses and various other sounds all overlaid by the general buzz of conversation.

He would have noted the various aromas too if not for another more overpowering scent in the immediate vicinity.

As he slowly took it all in, the general fog that seemed to have still been floating around in his head slowly began to fade and the Growlithe remembered exactly where he was.

He was at Café Plaisir and what had just transpired in the room behind him had not been one of his shameful fantasies but a very real experience.

On little more than a somewhat drunken whim he had allowed himself to be coaxed into visiting such an establishment with little to no knowledge of what actually lay in store.

He realised his friends had intended it to help him loosen up a little, but he doubted even they had expected him to have gotten sucked up into the atmosphere quite so quickly.

Barely an hour had passed before he had been whisked away to a private room and it hadn't even been with one of the waiters.

Yet here he stood, both the same Growlithe that had entered but also not quite. For he had finally lost his virginity.

He couldn't help but smile at the thought. It wasn't as if he had never expected it to happen, he had simply never actively sought it.

Naturally he had fantasised about it countless times but actually proactively searching out a partner was far too daunting for the mostly introverted Growlithe.

He had lived most of his life at home in a carefree environment with very few, mostly controlled social interactions that rarely went beyond impassive pleasantries with his wealthy neighbours.

He did have tutors that he spoke to and he had made some friends online but that was a world of difference than actually going out and meeting people.

Sure he had begun to improve and open up a little since moving to the city but he had made few connections outside of his small friend group of Eli, Aden and Iggy. The idea of finding a partner still felt a far off idea, one he had hoped would have just occurred naturally one day.

Of course he had the same needs as any other. He knew full well that Pokemon, especially males like him had libidos that even put humans to shame. Yet whether it was down to his upbringing or just his inner feelings, the thought of finding a partner for such primal desires, let alone searching for a proper mate. No, he had not been ready for that.

He had been quite content to deal with such primitive urges privately. Compensating for his lack of sexual interaction with a shameful amount of porn consumption. Paws and toys, sad substitutes for the sensation of a proper partner's warm flesh but enough to satisfy the Growlithe.

At least until now, as he had now been awakened to just how pathetic a substitute they truly were. He wondered if his, dare he admit porn addiction was at least partly down to his body secretly knowing the truth, he had craved the real thing, and would be unable to truly be satiated otherwise.

For at that moment Leo felt more satisfied than he ever had and he knew that porn would never feel quite the same to him. Now he had tasted the real thing it would never quite have the same level of satisfaction.

No small part due to the fact that his first experience had been with the very same Pokemon who he had so often been infatuated by through his computer screen. The one whose name was labelled upon the biggest folder within his extensive porn collection.

So as he now looked down at Captivate he couldn't help but smirk. He saw the less than subtle signs of titillation between patrons and waiters alike. For this was a place where one would have sex as casually as a drink. This was Cafè Plaisir and he was truly glad he had come.

Yet while he watched, he noticed it wasn't quite as busy as he had thought, he had expected it to be bustling with the lunch time rush and while it was certainly still somewhat full it didn't seem quite so lively.

He looked around until he spotted the clock he had used earlier and squinted to try and make out the time.

Did that say 1:30?

He could have sworn it had been no later than noon when Zara had invited him up here. Had they seriously been in there that long?

Suddenly feeling a little anxious, he glanced over towards the main stage, then let out a sigh of relief as he found his friends still sitting around one of the small tables that surrounded it.

He wondered if they had been waiting on him all this time..

Finally dropping back onto all-fours, he turned and made his way to the stairs to return to Captivate's ground floor.

As he made it down the stairs and started making his way around the pole platforms and padded seats that lined the room his glow must have been evident as several faces turned to look at him.

Leo paid them no mind though as he practically skipped along happily. If he had, he may have noticed it was only the Pokemon who were staring at him, the few human visitors giving him little more than a passing glance.

Finally having navigated himself around the winding path back to the table his friends sat, he slowed to a stop as the three of them turned to him , all of their noses twitching.

"Damn Leo.." Iggy the Torracat exclaimed without further comment.

"Leo.." was all the Houndoom, Eli said, her face looking flushed as she gawked at the Growlithe.

Then the Charmeleon; Aden lent down towards him with a slight smile before speaking in a low whisper "I'm glad it went well, but uhh you might want to go and wash off a little.. I can show you to the Spa area if you want?"

Leo hadn't quite expected this response, the words seeming to break him out of his happy trance. He sniffed at himself self consciously and immediately realised he was giving off quite the musk.

Despite the bar having such an overwhelming mix of scents from other guests and the many aromas of food, alcohol and the like, his scent seemed to overpower them all.

It shouldn't have been surprising given how long he and Zara had been at it. That and him being a fire type whose scent was naturally rather sharp to begin with.

He finally noticed several eyes were still on him, all but the humans with their terrible sense of smell seemed to notice his new pungent fragrance.

Though given the type of establishment Plaisir was, no one looked disturbed or offended. In fact most looked curious, impressed or outright interested.

Leo flushed all the same as he then looked up at Aden to whom he nodded "I'd appreciate that Aden.."

The Charmeleon stood up, giving their Torracat and Houndoom companions a silent look that read clearly enough Save the comments for later.

Even Iggy seemed to take the hint and for once held his tongue as Aden turned and led Leo towards the exit.

Gazes followed as they left but perhaps none as intently as Eli, who was beginning to give off a not so subtle scent of her own.

Iggy didn't fail to notice though and once Leo and Aden were safely out of sight he seemed unable to hold himself back any longer.

"Jealous that you weren't the one to take the pups v-card?" he teased her.

She broke her gaze from the exit the Growlithe had just disappeared through and gave the Torracat a disapproving look.

"Don't you think it's about time you made a move on him? I mean we've all had a bit of an interest but I know you out of all of us...." he pressed her.

Eli let out a low growl and gave the Torracat's ear a warning nip as she snarled at him "Shut up".

Unperturbed, he waved a paw dismissively "Alright alright. I'm just saying, it's about time you two fucked."

Another growl.

"I'm going to the restroom." Eli then said suddenly before hopping off her chair and padding off towards the opposite exit.

Iggy noticed her behind looked a little wet as did the chair she had just been sitting on, but preferring the idea of keeping his ears intact, chose not to push his luck any further.

Not that he could judge. The mix of Leo's post sex musk and the fresh Houndoom arousal wafting from the chair next to him had left the Torracat feeling a little needy himself. His own sheath starting to fill, the red pointed tip of his member noticeably poking out.

He needed to find himself a lay and soon... The Torratcat's gaze soon started to drift around the room as he scoured for suitable candidates.

~~~

Eli turned swiftly out of Captivate and made a beeline for the restroom where she quickly slid into a stall. She didn't really need to relieve herself but she just had to get out of there. Iggy was hitting a little too close to home and she needed a distraction.

She sat back over the toilet, spreading her legs to see how wet she was. Leo had really put her on edge. His hot musky scent had been irresistible to the Houndoom, and the satisfied look on his face..

She could only imagine what had happened with him in the time he had been gone. It had been over an hour! Had he truly been that awkward before things got going?

No, that scent, there was no way that was from any mere quicky. They had surely gone properly at it. Had they actually been so long because they had tied more than once?

Ahh it was too much to think about, she looked annoyingly at her paw. She had never been able to do much with it, the non retractable claws made getting off nigh impossible.

She was in fact flexible enough to attend to herself orally if she really wanted to but she always found it a little impractical and uncomfortable. Instead she found herself wishing she had brought a toy with her.

Then she scolded herself. Masturbating? Needing a toy at Cafè Plairir? What was she thinking?? Ahhh Leo had her in a mess.

Suddenly she stiffened, her nose twitching as she swore she could smell the Growlithe.

Hadn't he gone to the Spa to clean up? Was he in here or was she just losing it?

Then she noted it wasn't quite right. It was unmistakably his but it wasn't fresh and it was intermingled with...

"Damn, it's still coming out, just how much did he fill me with?" came a voice from the next stall over.

The intermittent splashing sound Eli had previously disregarded continued with the odd low grunt.

Eli knew who it was..

Zara seemed to be trying to clear out what she could of whatever mess Leo had made in her...

Eli sat there a long moment more, unable to stop her mind wandering further into indecent thoughts of Leo.

If he had left her in this kind of state... Just what..

A tinkle now emanated from her own toilet, which was odd given the fact she still hadn't the need to urinate. She lifted a paw to see she was literally dripping with excitement. She growled at herself.

What was she? a pup?

Having heard and finally noticing she hadn't in fact been alone in the restroom, Zara's voice came again.

"Oh is someone else there?" her voice casual, clearly trying not to sound embarrassed over the fact she had been grunting while trying to expel a certain Growlithe's load.

Eli jumped up and made to slip out of the restroom, not wanting to talk to the Vulpix but as she stepped back into the main bathroom, a loud flush came before the Vulpix's cubical opened behind her.

"Oh!!" the Vulpix suddenly exclaimed "Aren't you Leo's friend?" she asked, sounding relieved it wasn't anyone else.

Leo? So they are on friendly terms already huh? Eli thought to herself.

Eli turned slowly, giving the Vulpix an appraising look "I'm a work acquaintance." she admitted dismissively, trying not to sound too bothered.

"Oh is that all?" the Vulpix frowned "But you brought him here of all places?"

Eli narrowed her eyes as she looked down at the shorter form of the Vulpine "Well we thought he needed to.. loosen up a little.." she conceded truthfully.

Zara snorted "Oh I'd say, but don't worry I took care of that!" she spoke rather pompously.

"Yeah I noticed.." Eli replied a little sharper than she intended.

"He wasn't quite what I expected, to think he was a virgin or so he claimed.." Zara went on before pausing and looking up at the Houndoom curiously.

"He was a virgin wasn't he?" she asked inquisitively.

Eli glared at her "If he said he is, he is, Leo isn't the type to lie."

"Hmm" Zara gave her a thoughtful look "I suppose he doesn't seem the type to lie like that, it's just hard to believe.. I'd have thought having such a beautiful Houndoom as a close friend, he may have.." the Vulpix hinted less than subtly.

Eli would usually have been quite pleased at being called beautiful but the compliment seemed to meet death ears, as she simply grunted, cutting the Vulpix off briskly "No, we haven't."

"Aww, well that's a shame. Is he just not your type then? Not into smaller males or.. ah sorry that's not really my business." Zara cut herself off this time.

"No, it's not.." Eli said bluntly,

Zara smiled, unfazed by the Houndoom's less than friendly demeanour.

"Well it's just.." Zara went on, hesitating as if unsure if she should push the Houndooms buttons any further.

Then seeming unable to control her need to gush about it, squealed.

"He was just such a good fuck! I mean seriously. This gorgeous sweetheart Growlithe just so happens to be at Plaisir for the first time and he's a damn virgin?"

She took a breath before continuing.

"I thought there must be something wrong. Maybe he's just overly courteous and humble in bed or maybe he just can't get it up under pressure or something you know? So I get him up into a private room to see for myself. I work him up a little..."

Eli's frown broke a little as her ears pricked in interest.

"Yeah, sure he's a little nervous at first and he's a bit sensitive but nothing you wouldn't expect! I edge him with a little oral then take the lead and give him a ride, which I tell you wasn't easy! He's pretty damn big for a Growlithe. Still he held out and gave me a full on knot for my troubles."

Another breath.

"It was pretty damn incredible, I thought I'd hit the jackpot with him so I thought I'd give him a bit more of a push, see how he'd fair you know? A few wiggles of my rear.."

She demonstrated this to the Houndoom, giving her rear a little shake "And he was sure enough ready to mount me!"

The bouncing of the smaller female's plump behind with the still wet and glistening spade caught Eli's eyes. A glint of interest passing across them that may have been for more than the fading Growlithe aroma emanating from it.

Zara stood up straight again, looking up at the Houndoom with wide eyes.

"I really didn't know what to expect at that point, I thought this might be where he'd be a little lacklustre you know? A decent enough fuck but maybe a little reserved when on top, especially given it was his first time."

She crouched down looking like an excited pup.

"It started a little slow but he was better than I'd expected, but then as he was getting into it he sort of snapped.."

Eli blinked down at her, her interest unmistakably on her face now

"It was like he just went feral! As if all of that pent up virgin energy had been building up until he had sensory overload and just went to town on me! He says he's part rock type but you wouldn't know until he's on top of you. I've taken males almost twice his height and they had nothing on how hard he was taking me."

"I haven't been pushed like that in forever, I can't remember the last time I had a fuck that good and I fuck, like a lot. My legs are still shaky and I still feel half his load sitting inside me..."

Eli was staring at her now, her jaw slack, a steady drip drip coming from her rear.

"I can't believe I got to record the whole thing. I have half a mind to keep it for myself but I just know it'll be a huge hit..."

This snapped Eli back to reality "Wait, you recorded it?" she asked, clearly excited.

Zara blinked up at her for a moment, then realisation dawning, a smirk appeared on her face. Her nose twitched as she noted the Houndoom scent filling the bathroom.

"Oh I sure did..Would you like me to send it to you? Usually a video like this would be reserved for my tier three followers but as a friend of Leo.."

Eli looked uncertain for a moment, clearly not wanting to seem too eager but undeniably interested.

"Well if you're offering, I can't say I'm not curious.." she finally admitted, trying to sound nonchalant.

"Great! Got your phone with you?" the Vulpix asked.

Eli poked her muzzle into the pouch she had resting around her neck and pulled out her phone gently in her teeth.

Grabbing it in a paw she tapped a few times on the heavily protected, scratch resistant screen with a claw to connect to Zara's own phone. She then watched as the video began to slowly transfer over, the auto saved thumbnail showing Leo taking the Vulpix and the look on his tiny distorted face looked quite unlike the Leo she knew.

After an awkward minute or so of silence, it finally completed.

"There you go! Consider it a thank you for bringing Leo here." She gave the Houndoom a playful wink "Maybe we can get to know each other sometime! I hear you're staying the weekend. That Torracat and Charmeleon look fun too."

Eli, still unsure what to make of the Vulpix, gave her a slight smile and a half genuine "That would be nice..".

"I'm a little worn out now though, I'm going to book a room and rest for a while. I was planning to get a few videos done too.. Well Leo gave me more than enough content!" she ended with a giggle before turning and walking out of the restroom.

Eli didn't see her leave, her eyes still staring down at the video. She had to watch it.

She looked back and forth confirming she was indeed now alone before turning back and returning to the same cubicle she had just left.

She hopped back onto the toilet before hooking a claw on her spare forepaw into her neck pouch pulling out a pair of earphones.

Putting them on clumsily she leaned back and pressed play.

As she began to watch her expression quickly began to change. Going from soft and smiling at seeing Leo nervous and shy as she would have expected to more tense and engrossed as things grew more intense.

The first thing that had caught her attention was something she had long been curious about. As the Vulpix had begun to prep him Eli had been watching intently, she actually let out a huff of hot air as his knot was popped free. It was bigger than she had expected, quite a lot bigger in fact. Leo was huge, at least for a Growlithe.

By the time the Vulpix had mounted his member she had gotten so wet she couldn't ignore it any longer. She reached a claw back into her pouch and this time hooked out a small fireproof glove.

This was a single glove designed for her specific paw, it was heavy duty, designed for covering her claws when she had to work with more delicate things.

Of course she had tried to use this very glove for the delicate task she intended to use it for now, but even without the immediate worry of a very sharp claw it still didn't really do much for her.

Still, she had little else to work with and she had to try something to get the edge off.

So pulling the glove on with her teeth, her other forepaw holding her phone she reached down and began trying to ease a little of her lust.

One hooked digit of the glove pressed tentatively into her sex which was now absolutely sodden, causing the glove to immediately become wet and soften a little which made things a tad easier.

Various Pokemon and humans passed through the bathroom, some noticing her, some not but the Houndoom entirely engrossed, didn't pay them any mind.

She had been mindlessly rubbing herself with no real intent of finishing, at least until she watched Leo's face contort as the Vulpix riding him took his knot and sent him into an intense orgasm.

Eli's paw had begun frantically working her sex at this point, her eyes locked on the Growlithe as he trembled in a huge climax. She probably would have paused and rewinded it so she could enjoy it better but as it were she had no spare paw to do so.

Instead her paw was mindlessly pressing against her sensitive sex as it desperately tried to force out her own climax.

Even though the rough textured glove on her stubby toed paw offered little in comparison to what she imagined the Vulpix in the video would have been feeling she somehow seemed to find herself getting close but as she realised this she let out a grunt.

She forced herself to pull her paw back and clenched hard forcing her progress to grind to a halt.

The video was barely half way through and she knew from what the Vulpix had told her, the best part was still to come.

So lifting the same now sodden gloved paw she reached over to her phone. Not caring about the sticky mess she was about to make on her screen she started to press the fast forward button.

With a lot of fumbling thanks to the drips of juice confusing the touch screen she finally managed to skip forward through the knotting until she saw the Vulpix stand and point her hindquarters back at the Growlithe.

It happened much like Zara had described. Leo hadn't taken much encouragement before he was on top of her.

A slow steady start and then suddenly he changed, she could hear the huffs and hard plapping of the Growlithe through her earphones, see how strained the Vulpix became under his relentless assault.

It was hot, so unbelievably hot to watch. Her paw was reaching into her vulva with a frantic effort once again, her juices leaking out freely making a steady trickling sound as they hit the water below.

Zara had been right, it truly was like Leo had snapped. This was not the Leo she knew, he was feral and wild.

Then all too soon it was over as she finally watched on as Vulpix and Growlithe shared a final orgasm.

Oh fuck it was so hot.. Eli's phone arm drooped and her concentration focused on her other paw as she desperately tried to get off herself.

It was still hard, but given how long she had been fondling herself, her sex was very tender and by catching her sensitive clit at just the right moment she finally found her own release. Letting out a growl and a small jet of flame she fell back in her own climax mere moments after the pair in the video had hit theirs.

She closed her maw, chiding herself at the pup-like fire control. Thankfully it didn't set off the sprinkler and she sat enjoying the bliss of her pitiful but none the less satisfying orgasm.

She lifted up her phone again to see the pair rear to rear relaxing after their own orgasms.

Damn it Leo. Zara hadn't been kidding. Leo sure was something.

Eli then decided. By the time the weekend was over, she would have that Growlithe in bed, else she didn't think she could handle returning to work with him.

The irony they had brought him here to loosen up but now it was her that had been left pent up and needy, all because of that stupid handsome pup...

~~~

After leaving Captivate Leo had fallen into step behind Aden as he was led through the Café over to the Spa.

The walk through the long corridor had mostly been silent, the Charmeleon being politely reserved in his prying, but even he seemed unable to entirely hold back all his questions.

"So how was your first time?" He asked casually.

Leo had been expecting the question but he still hesitated, though he was thankful it was Aden asking. He knew the Charmeleon wouldn't tease him like the others.

"It was incredible.." he murmured wistfullly, as if this explained everything.

Though it seemed to satisfy the Charmeleon who looked down at him with a genuine smile and a nod without pressing him for details.

But as they turned a couple of corners and began up a set of stairs he asked another question that was on his mind "You knew of this Zara before right? Was she what you expected?"

"No..." Leo answered honestly.

Aden gave him a curious look "Really? But you seem so happy.."

Leo couldn't help but blush as he gave a toothy grin "Yeah, She was sooo much better.."

This got a full on laugh from the Charmeleon "Well I'm glad, I was feeling a little guilty about dragging you here without explaining anything."

He absently scratched his cheek with a claw "The others convinced me it was for your own good. Still I wasn't sure, but I guess I needn't have worried after all.." he ended as his mouth curled into a small smirk.

Leo's ears twitched sheepishly at the comment but he returned the smile "Thanks Aden, I appreciate the concern. I guess I was a little drunk when I agreed. I can't say I didn't think about backing out but I was curious, I still wanted to come along even if I was unsure what to expect."

He then let out a contented sigh "I'm glad I came."

Aden let out a soft snort as he looked down at the Growlithe who seemed to have a new sort of glow to him "I don't doubt it. Still, I never expected you to get into it quite so quickly, It's usually not until the evening when things get that intense...."

Leo flushed a little but didn't voice his reply. It wasn't as if he had expected things to go that way either.

Much to Leo's relief they had just been turning around one last corner when they finally arrived at the Spa.

"Oh good, I was starting to think I'd forgotten my way." Aden admitted, sounding relieved "This place is way too big."

Leo had barely explored the place yet but from just seeing the rough layout on the website and their not so short walk just to find the Spa he could tell this wasn't an exaggeration.

As they stepped inside Leo found himself looking around. Even having seen the listed amenities on the website he was still quite impressed by what he found inside.

There was a sizable foyer which was cleanly carpeted at the end of which were two curtained doorways, one was labelled locker rooms and the other showers, past which he could just about see a long row of clean showers with further facilities beyond it.

Within the entrance area there was also a desk behind which was a bored looking Cinccino sitting on a high rise stool.

"Well this is the spa" Aden announced redundantly.

Hearing the voice, the Cinccino's head perked up, her expression brightening at the prospect of potential customers.

"Welcome huns! Can I help you with anything?" she asked with a smile.

"We're fine thank you, I was just showing Leo here where he could wash up." Aden explained.

Her expression seemed to fall a little at this but she quickly recovered as she hopped off the stool and padded over to them.

"In that case we have showers available through here" she waved her fluffy white tail towards the curtained doorway labelled showers "Or if you are more inclined we have a couple of baths available as well."

Leo couldn't help but grimace a little. He wasn't exactly afraid of water, at least not anymore but being a rock/fire type, washing was far from his favourite activity.

The Cinccino seemed to notice this as she gave him a sympathetic smile "There are some settings on the showers, you'll find the temperature goes quite high and you can even turn down the water pressure."

Leo nodded. That was good to know at least, his apartment's shower had similar settings. It almost made bathing tolerable.

Leo could still remember his early days with Sophie as she mercilessly forced him to wash himself regularly despite his many protests. Cleanliness was something she had been firm on.

It had genuinely scared him for a while, given just how painfully uncomfortable it was to him. Honestly Sophie had very almost given him a true phobia of water through her stubbornness on the matter but he had persevered through.

He had slowly and stubbornly learned to adapt to water. Though due to that severe natural weakness It had taken a long time for him not to completely pass out.

Now he could just about handle a moderate amount of time in a shower or bath, though it still left him feeling incredibly weak and drained.

It was a bit of a sick irony that fire types who generally despised water had the most acrid scent and generally had to wash themselves so as to not to offend others.

Ah to be a grass type Leo would often wonder, that not only loved water but often smelt fresh enough to not need to bathe as much. Leo had even heard that some grass Pokemon even smelt better after sex. It was not fair.

As Leo pitied himself the Cinccino had continued her directions, having next pointed to the doorway labelled locker rooms "You can find some towels, shampoo and other basic supplies through there as well as lockers to drop off any valuables."

"Once you are done cleaning you can find that just past the washing areas we have a hot tub or as you are fire types, a sauna that you may be more partial to." She went on to explain cheerily.

Leo couldn't help but twitch excitedly at that, he'd completely forgotten he had seen the sauna listed on the website. In truth, his adopted mother Sophie had a sauna at her estate. It was perhaps other than Sophie herself the one thing Leo missed most of all about his old life of luxury, his small apartment naturally having no such thing.

"Finally we have a rest area and an adjoining message area at the back of the Spa." The Cinccino emphasised this last part, clearly most enthusiastic about this aspect of the facility "Our talented masseuses can tend to any aches or pains you may have, or if you were after something a little more special, we naturally offer that too" she finished with a suggestive wink.

"Just come to me and I'll book you an appointment!" She then turned to face the pair properly "Now, would you like any assistance in washing today?"

She turned her gaze to the Charmeleon with a thoughtful expression "I think we may have a flame protector in the suppl.." she broke off upon noticing Aden's tail and the subsequent absence of the iconic tail flame his species was known for.

Leo gave his friend a slightly uneasy look. Due to some personal issues in his past, he had, in what Leo could only imagine was gruelling self control training, somehow managed to not only restrain the flame but put it out entirely.

It wasn't something he typically liked to talk about with strangers but given how strange and noticeable it was for a Charmeleon, he often ended up having to address it.

It was said for Charmander and its evolutions, their tail flame was literally their inner life-force, their aura, and it was rumoured that if it ever went out they would die.

Aden however was living proof that it at least wasn't entirely correct. The way he described it was as if he had managed to somehow pull it back within himself. It was hard to believe but it kind of made sense.

Most fire types would agree to having some sort of inner fire, aura or whatever else people referred to it as. Other types having similar feelings of slightly different natures.

Thankfully having noticed the now somewhat white faced Cinccino's reaction, Aden had quickly cut in, "Ah you don't have to worry about me, it's only Leo here who needs to wash up for now."

"I'd rather have the chance to get a little messy myself before I have to take a dip you know?" Aden added, sticking out his tongue ruefully.

Aden's comment seemed to break the tension, the Cinccino coming back to herself and to Leo's relief didn't push the subject as she smiled once again "Right! Of course."

Not so much to his relief though was when she immediately then turned on Leo, her eyes inspecting him intently "So, what about you hun? Would you like some assistance with washing today?"

Leo froze as he looked down at the smaller Cinccino. For a moment he pictured her joining him in the shower as she used that fluffy white tail to wash him, not so unlike Sophie had in his younger days.

He then quickly shook his head, as much to push away the embarrassing image than to turn down the offer, not admitting to himself the idea was actually quite intriguing. She was no Vulpix, but the Cinccino certainly had her own appeal.

He then bowed his head slightly "Oh no, thank you. I shall be fine by myself but I appreciate the offer."

The Cinccino blinked blankly at the courteous response for a second before responding again "Oh, very well! if you change your mind, just let me know hun."

She then turned and sauntered back over to the desk where she hopped back onto the stool and almost immediately looked bored again.

Leo turned and looked up at Aden "Right, well I appreciate your help Aden."

"Of course, Think you can find your way back?" Aden asked.

"I think so.." Leo replied, not entirely convinced he could but not wanting the Charmeleon to wait around for him to finish. Not that he intended to spend more time in there than he needed to anyway.

So with a wave, Aden turned and walked back the way they'd came.

Leo pondered for a long moment about his options. Shower or bath? Neither very appealing for the rock/fire type.

A shower would usually seem the obvious answer, it would generally be quicker and would mean he wouldn't actually have to submerge himself.

However in his experience he had actually come to prefer a bath, the initial dip into the water was always a little painful but as long as he made sure the water was hot he found himself adjusting quickly enough.

While he would take a shower when he was in a rush, The consistent torrent of fresh water hitting his water sensitive skin was a far less pleasant experience.

It was effectively a painful jab in the arm versus a drawn out torment of a thousand needle pricks.

So given he was in no rush, he chose to take the jab. He deposited his satchel in a locker before picking up a bottle of the cheap complimentary 2in1 shampoo as well as a towel. With them gingerly clutched between his jaws he made his way past the showers towards the baths.

The baths were quite large, naturally to cater for as many types of guests as possible. They weren't in use so he approached the closest tub.

He placed the towel neatly onto the floor before walking up to the side of the tub, placing the bottle of shampoo onto the little inlet at the edge of the bath.

Hopping inside he secured the plug before jumping back up to the faucet and with a fumble of his paw he turned it on, immediately pushing it up to its highest setting.

He sat and watched the tub fill for a moment, the water heating up remarkably quickly as a steady cloud of steam started to form over the surface.

Once it had been filled to a satisfactory level, he turned off the tap before gingerly dipping a forepaw into the water. He let out an involuntary shudder as the water made contact but to his relief the water was actually surprisingly hot, far hotter than his home bath.

Still, he thought it could be a tad hotter. He considered this for a long moment, looking around and making sure the Cinccino couldn't see him he decided maybe just a little..

Typically Leo didn't like using his fire in public places if he didn't need to. He was very conscious of using it even though he had almost perfect control over it. Fire was dangerous and he knew never to underestimate that.

He just really hated water and he was sure it would be fine, he did this at home and there was nothing immediately flammable nearby outside of the towel which was safely out of reach. So bracing his paws he aimed his muzzle down and concentrated very carefully.

A moment later a very steady small and fine flame shot from his muzzle hitting the surface of the water, a yellowy orange at first that quickly turned to a rich blue. It was technically a flamethrower, which typically would have been very reckless to use like this but the Growlithe had learned to compress its power.

It was fundamentally like using a welder, the flame was much smaller but much hotter. It would have caused some serious burns if he ever dared use it on someone.

So being very careful, holding himself perfectly still, he kept the flame going for only a few moments before cutting it off just as the water began to bubble a little.

Even though his flame had been perfectly controlled, he took a moment to make sure he hadn't caught the tub or done any damage.

When finally satisfied, not wanting to let the water cool, he carefully stepped into the tub until he was fully submerged, or at least part of him was. The water coming to just over halfway up his legs, hardly what most would consider a proper depth for a bath but it was plenty for the Growlithe.

As the water soaked through his thick fur and into the skin beneath, he felt that familiar sensation of weakness washing over him. The heat of the water had numbed it from feeling outright painful but there was nothing to be done about the general weariness that contact with his natural elemental weakness brought over him.

Leo turned to where he had left the bottle of shampoo. Not wanting to move too much as to disturb the water and make himself more uncomfortable he narrowed his eyes and concentrated once more, but this time he wasn't summoning fire.

Most Pokemon didn't have the privilege of long arms or opposable thumbs like humans did. Growlithes were no exception, even Leo's forepaws which were effectively nubs with claws didn't even offer the limited dexterity of a normal paw.

So Pokemon with such limitations would do their best to make up for it with their abilities.The most useful of which when it came to such simple day to day tasks being moves of the psychic variety.

Leo unfortunately couldn't learn any of the more typical psychic techniques that allowed direct control but he did have one called Psychic Fangs.

It had taken him a long time to master it to any truly usable degree, far longer than it took him to master any fire techniques. Due to the nature of it being pretty much just a psychic extension of his fangs it still didn't offer much flexibility but it certainly helped.

So slowly and carefully Leo focused and summoned these Psychic Fangs which was easier said than done with his mind starting to fog over from the fatigue of the water but he somehow managed.

With a grunt of effort he picked up the bottle, flicked it around in a clumsy but effective mid-air juggle in the telekinetic fangs before squeezing out a dollop of the cheap shampoo onto his outstretched paw before carefully placing it back.

Most assumed that he put a lot of work into maintaining his thick fur but honestly he didn't, in fact he rarely even used shampoo on his mane at all.

It for one reason or another seemed to naturally style itself without much attention, which suited the Growlithe who preferred to spend as little time washing as he could get away with.

This time being no exception, so rather than going for his mane, he reached down to the offending area that was the reason he was even needing to bathe to begin with.

However, he had not so much as placed a soapy paw on the sheath when he was caught completely off guard by a small splash and a high pitched squeal.

"Owwch, what the hell? Why is the water so damn hot!?" came a voice that sounded oddly familiar.

Leo had almost jumped out of his fur which along with the mysterious splash had sent ripples coursing through the water and splashing up against him, sending a renewed wave of wariness over him.

Steadying himself after the sudden shock, Leo peered through the steam to where the voice came from. He could just about make out a small glimmering blue figure.

"Seriously, who in the hell has the water this hot!?" the voice continued until the newcomer seemed to break through the worst of the steam.

As they stepped forward through the water he finally made them out. Glossy black eyes full of indignation glared up at him, almost making him feel like he was the one intruding.

The narrowed eyes widened as she too finally seemed to see through the steam and notice who it was she had actually been leering at.

"Oh, it's you!" she exclaimed in pleasant surprise.

Leo blinked back at her for a moment, trying to appear calm and not completely thrown off by the sudden appearance of the Eeveelution.

An unusually small stature, one slightly droopy lopsided head fin and an almost transparent looking frayed tail fin, this was undoubtedly the same Vaporeon he had met back in Captivate.

"Greetings Rain Flower. I'm sorry, did you want to use this bath?" Leo asked her politely.

Rain Flower didn't reply, her eyes looking him over as if thoughtful.

Leo went on "My apologies for the water being hot, I.."

His explanation was cut short however as the Vaporeon's form shifted as in one swift movement she suddenly leapt forward before landing with a neat splash directly in front of him.

Now Leo found himself looking directly down at where her small head was planted directly between his splayed legs where he had just been about to begin lathering himself.

"At least some fire types know how to clean themselves.." She murmured with a snicker.

Leo wondered if she had a vendetta against fire types because of their dislike of water. He knew water types generally had a bit of a compulsion about cleanliness, though maybe not to the manic levels certain fairy types did.

He could imagine there being a little bit of type related tension in a place like Plaisir where things were constantly getting heated and hygiene was probably a big concern. That would explain why the Spa was so accommodating at least.

The Vaporeon didn't elaborate on her comment though.

Rain Flower simply continued to inspect him, giving the odd sniff as if appraising his work. Well he had barely started. He probably still smelt fairly musky..

As if to confirm this her voice picked up again "You've been busy Leonard.." Apparently she had remembered his name "A Vulpix?"

She sniffed some more.

"Don't tell me it's that Zara! Rain Flower does not like that one, she takes eyes away from her!"

Leo gulped. Did Zara and Rain Flower not get along? What did she mean exactly?

Given how his friends had described Rain Flower, he thought she probably had to be one of the more popular waiters at Plaisir. He could certainly see her appeal after all.

Zara however was effectively an online celebrity, at least in the world of depravity. it wouldn't be surprising if certain guests noticed the Vulpix first.

Especially new visitors who perhaps like Leo, were taking their first steps away from their porn fantasies and into the real thing.

Leo still didn't know Rain Flower very well but the pair didn't seem too dissimilar. Both confident, assertive females. Though Rain Flower seemed to be the more crude of the pair.

So was it just some rivalry or something more? Leo wasn't sure.

"Rain Flower saw her strutting down the corridor, She should have known!" Rain Flower grumbled as if confirming her own question.

She scowled up at him, those judgmental glossy black eyes making him feel a little uneasy.

After a few long seconds of uncomfortable silence, her frown finally seemed to break as she opened her mouth to speak once more.

Or so Leo thought as but a moment later her maw had become otherwise occupied with getting acquainted with what she had just been sniffing at.

It wasn't a tentative greeting either, that wet Vaporeon tongue went in fast and hard as it immediately forced its way into the furry sheath where it found the Growlithe member hiding away inside.

Leo couldn't help but shudder at the sudden intrusion of the surprisingly cold tongue as it probed into his most private of places.

Initial shock aside, it didn't take long for Leo to start enjoying the sensation. The Vaporeon certainly knew what she was doing, she seemed to know just how and where to press with her tongue to receive the strongest response from the Growlithe.

Before he had properly registered what was really happening, Rain Flower had coaxed out his main length and was even in the process of popping out the bulbous knot.

Yet she didn't so much as stop to marvel at her work, but instead started working on her prize without missing a beat.

For the second time that day, Leo found himself leaning back on his forepaws as he let a female take control and work his member with their skilled maw.

As Leo began to huff in blissful pleasure he couldn't help but compare the two.

It was abundantly clear that Rain Flower was every bit as skilled with her tongue as Zara, no in truth if he truly had to pick, he would probably have to admit the Vaporeon seemed even more practised.

Though that may have also been down to the fact he was feeling a little woozy from the water and a little more receptive to the Vaporeon's effort for it.

Yet the overall feel and different technique was obvious. Zara's tongue had been hot to the touch and relatively slow and purposefully. She teased and tested him slowly before going in for the finish.

Rain Flower's tongue being wet and cool to the touch was already making him sensitive in quite a different way to Zara's. This was made all the worse given the Vaporeon didn't seem to be one for foreplay, her tongue went hard, it was matter of fact and to the point.

While Zara had played to his Fire type nature, Rain Flower was doing the opposite, his natural weakness to water meant the touch of her tongue sent a strange tingling sensation through him quite unlike what he had felt with the Vulpix.

He couldn't quite describe it, while her tongue was cooler and wetter, it wasn't as if she was showering him with an icy deluge. It was more as if her natural water aura was touching his own in such a sensitive spot it was making him grow weak not unlike he often did back when he first started training himself to handle water.

He may have passed out from it if not for the simple fact it still felt incredible.

Rain Flower was slavoring his member relentlessly. Her tongue worked up and down his length with what felt like impossible dexterity. It was as if it actually took on the properties of water, sloshing around his member like a liquid but always remaining firm, never wavering as it worked every inch of his rock hard canine member.

The maw itself wasn't idle either. The small Vaporeon head was bobbing down on him in a frenzied motion, her cheeks noticeably bulging outwards every time she went down and swallowed his member, knot and all.

He couldn't tell if it was because he was feeling weak from the water, the Vaporeon's natural type advantage, or the fact Rain Flower was far more aggressive than the Vulpix. Regardless Leo soon found himself hitting his limit far quicker than he had with Zara.

In the end it lasted no longer than a minute or two before Leo realised he couldn't hold back anymore. He didn't have the strength or willpower to hold out this time and with no more than a pathetic whining growl as a warning, he broke into his climax as he began to shoot his third hot load of the day right into the Vaporeon's maw.

Rain Flower didn't so much as flinch, Leo had no idea if she had been expecting it or had just naturally reacted to it but while the motion of her head and tongue slowed to a stop, her maw's hold on his member only tightened as the smaller Vaporeon began to swallow his hot load greedily.

Leo let out a long sad groan as his orgasm took over him, the blissful ecstasy of his climax gifting him a last spurt of energy. His legs twitching sporadically and paws kneading the air, he shot whatever seed Zara hadn't already drained out of him into the ravenous Vaporeon maw.

Then as his orgasm began to subside, a wave of exhaustion came over him, his forearms buckling as he fell onto his back with a splash into the hot water.

Rain Flower sat up straight, raising her head in a smug expression as she licked some of the seed from her mouth.

Even craning her neck, her head only just about poked over the top of the standing member of the Growlithe. Yet she still looked down at him with a superior expression.

"Rain Flower is the Porn Star Queen of Plaisir!" she said proudly.

Leo didn't reply, not that he could string together a coherent reply between his body feeling weak from all the water related sensations and the general post-orgasm fogginess. He could barely register what she had even said. Porn Star?

At the very least he was pretty sure he had just been used to prove some kind of point.

The Vaporeon continued to stare at him, her gaze boring into him with a calculating expression.

In the end she jerked her head away sharply with an annoyed tut.

"Don't need Ice Bitch getting on my case for freebies.." she began to mumble seemingly to herself.

She then stood and turned away before starting to slink back the way she had come but not before raising her voice one last time "Next time just hire Rain Flower!"

Then with barely as much as a ripple in the water she elegantly leaped out of the bath and was gone, leaving Leo feeling dazed, exhausted and pretty darn confused.

He lay there for some time. The steam starting to clear as the water slowly began to cool.

Slowly sitting up he looked down at his member. It was naturally still rock hard, the knot full and thick. He'd have to wait for it to subside yet again.

Between his weariness from his recent orgasm and just general exhaustion from prolonged contact with water, it took a lot of focus to summon the psychic fangs he had used before.

Somehow he managed it though and with a loud huff he picked up the shampoo bottle once more.

His feeble wash from before had been all for naught given a certain Vaporeon's unexpected arrival and subsequent assault.

Unable to properly wash his sheath due to the large phallic red member poking out of it, he instead gave it a gentle rinse with the water and with nothing else to do set to washing his mane.

He never really put effort into his mane given its natural inclination to remain surprisingly kept of its own accord, but as he began to apply the shampoo he found it felt surprisingly nice.

The thick fur began to soften under the kneading of his paws. Dirt that clung to the inner folds of fur that must have resisted his usual quick and reluctant rinse of warm water fell away under the soapy wash of the shampoo.

For the first time since he had moved to the city and away from Sophie's judging gaze, his mane was receiving a full and proper wash.

Leo found himself getting quite absorbed in the task and once he had given his head and neck manes as thorough a wash as his limited dexterity would allow he looked down to find his member fully retreated, leaving only that furry mound of fur and the set of orbs below it visible.

Returning his attention to the initially concerned area, he gave his goods a thorough washing until he finally felt satisfied with his work.

It wasn't perfect, naturally he couldn't rinse his back all that easily, at least without a sponge and an awkward use of those psychic fangs but Leo felt that was one area he could neglect for now.

He had washed the offending area and more. So standing up on surprisingly shaky legs he fumbled for the plug to drain the water, then walking over to the centre of the bath he gave himself a shake to get rid of the excess water.

Even with psychic fangs Leo had never really mastered the use of a towel. After all, he usually didn't spend long enough bathing to really worry about getting too wet to begin with.

So finally climbing out of the tub, he walked over to his towel and did what he usually did. He spread it out as best he could and then clumsily rolled himself against it on the floor, hoping to dry himself enough not to trail water after him.

Once he had dried himself as best he could manage Leo picked up the towel and shampoo bottle and made his way back into the foyer.

He passed the Cinccino who gave him a curious look "Is everything ok hun?"

Leo, unable to reply with his muzzle full, simply nodded and bowed his head slightly hoping that was enough. It felt rude but he was too weary to dwell on it as he slid past her into the locker room.

He returned the shampoo bottle and dropped the used towel in the deposit bin.

He then hopped onto one of the benches and lay down, utter exhaustion rolling over him.

The weariness of it all sending him into a short doze, leaving him so out of it he didn't even notice the voice calling him until they had ran up to stand next to him.

"Ah there you are Leo, you were taking so long I was starting to think you passed out. Are you ok?"

Leo groggily turned his head and looked up at the speaker to find the same Charmeleon who had brought him to the Spa.

"Oh, sorry Aden. I didn't mean to worry you. I just ran into.. complications.." Leo admitted vaguely.

Just then the curtain on the locker room entrance parted again. The pair looked back to see a surprised looking Houndoom.

Eli looked at Aden and then at Leo before bounding over to them.

"Leo? Are you ok? You look horrible, What happened?" she asked in a concerned voice.

Leo was a little confused at the comment, given he had just cleaned up and all, but it took his groggy head a moment to guess she probably meant more the fact his head was bobbing and his eyes were wavering.

He looked from one to the other in silence, his slowly reconfiguring brain trying to put together a response.

Eventually he shook his head "I'm fine, just a little dizzy from the water. I didn't really plan to spend that long in there." He admitted.

"Then why..?" Eli began to ask when he cut her off.

"Rain Flower.." Leo answered.

"Rain Flower?" Aden asked frowning "Didn't she get taken away by Firenze earlier?

Leo shrugged, vaguely remembering something like that happening, but given the various events of the day and his head still feeling very much water logged, he wasn't sure.

"What did she want?" Eli then asked, her concerned expression now looking more like a pout.

"Well.." Leo began, unsure how to explain it. Why exactly had Rain Flower even entered his bath to begin with anyway? She certainly hadn't been there for a wash herself and it didn't seem very professional to interrupt a bathing guest without good reason.

He wondered if perusing the Spa was just a normal activity for the rambunctious Vaporeon. Was that normal practice for waiters at Plaisir? To offer their services even when their patrons were washing?

But then Rain Flower hadn't even asked him to pay. It seemed he still had a lot to learn about Plaisir.

"I'm not sure, but she, well.." Leo paused then added "Showed off her Plaisir Pride.." in a vague but what he felt seemed to be a truthful answer.

He couldn't quite wrap his head around the Vaporeon but he could tell she was proud. He had been taken to Plaisir to loosen up and finally lose his virginity.

He had done that, but admittedly it hadn't even been with one of Plaisir's renowned waiters.

Leo felt a bit guilty.

"Next time just hire Rain Flower"

Maybe he just would at that.

Or maybe he was just overthinking it. ahh his head still felt hazy.

"Plaisir Pride? Aden asked curiously.

Eli's pout had turned into a sneer "Wait, did you and Rain Flower.." she broke off her thought, though her meaning was clear enough.

Leo blushed and tried to explain "I was bathing and she appeared and then.." he trailed off, before after a moment adding "It was just.. oral."

It was strange how calmly he said it. A few hours ago, this had all been a bit of a fantasy but nothing more, now he had been with two incredible females. He still hadn't quite processed it all.

Aden nodded, giving him a sly smile "Well, I'm just glad it was nothing bad. She wasn't too rough with you was she?"

"She was alright.. She didn't stay for very long. I just had to wait it out afterwards.." Leo admitted a little sheepishly.

"Ahh, canine problems." Aden snorted "Always sounds more hassle than it's worth to me.."

A low growl followed and Leo turned to Eli who was looking quite thunderous.

"Are you okay Eli?" Leo asked, confused as to why.

Leo's voice seemed to break her out of it as she stood up straight looking a little flushed herself.

"I'm fine." was all she gave as a response.

Aden looked between them anxiously before speaking up again "Well if you're done washing, want to hit the sauna?

"Oh YES PLEASE!" Leo exclaimed far louder than he had intended. Somehow he had completely forgotten about it.

He was now starting to cool off making his still very much damp fur feel very uncomfortable.

A hot dry sauna sounded amazing.

"I think I'll join you for this one, what about you Eli?" Aden asked, tentatively looking at the Houndoom.

Eli stared back for a brief moment before shaking her head "No, you two go ahead.."

"But.." Leo began to protest but a Charmeleon claw on his shoulder steering him away broke him off.

Leo wasn't quite sure what was bothering the Houndoom, but he took Aiden's hint and let him lead him towards the sauna, but not before his nose twitched and caught a certain scent in the air.

He hadn't noticed it before, but now his sinuses had cleared a little after his bath he could properly pick up her scent.

Her rich tangy fire type scent, that unique Houndoom note as well as one of femininity but on top of those was an aroma he had found himself becoming more and more acquainted with since arriving at Plaisir.

It was unmistakably a very much sexual musk, but it wasn't the subtle linger of simple arousal. Now he had had some personal experience of such feminine scents, his sensitive Growlithe nose could pick up the difference.

The Houndoom had gotten off, and recently. He would have simply assumed she had perhaps taken up a waiter in his absence but there was no other scent on her, no male at the very least but unless he was very much mistaken he picked up a very slight whiff of Zara?

Intrigued and confused he looked back at the Houndoom who's face now looked blank. She simply watched them go until Aden led them through the curtained doorway.

Leo took a breath. Eli's scent, while only a passing taste had sent his head reeling again. It was not unlike Zara's, similar elements of that zesty fire femininity but it was also very much its own.

Leo found himself wanting to drink it in more, to get a better and closer taste.

A throb of his sheath and yet again he felt the creep of his tip trying to poke through.

He tried to suppress it. How did it even have energy left to give? He had already climaxed three times and every one of them had been excessive.

He looked over at Aden, wondering if he had noticed his hesitation only to see his much more exposed manhood with much the same reaction. It seemed he had noticed her scent as well.

Yet he didn't say anything until they arrived at the sauna "Here we are. I think a nice stint in here will do us both some good."

Leo nodded as the Charmeleon opened the door and stepped inside.

The moment he crossed the threshold Leo was hit by a delightful wave of warmth that seemed to permeate right through him to his very fire type core. Much unlike the hot water, this heat was dry and much more to his liking.

He fluffed out his pelt and let out a satisfied sigh "Ahh I forgot how good a sauna feels.."

"Oh right, you had one back at Sophie's estate didn't you? How you ever managed to leave and move to the city is beyond me." Aden mused.

Leo climbed onto a bench and stretched himself out contently as he replied "I'm starting to wonder the same thing.."

The pair then relaxed in silence, the two fire types truly in their element in the hot sauna and enjoying every moment of it.

Then after some time Leo broke the silence as he asked "So what's up with Eli?" finally deciding to breach the topic of their Houndoom friend.

Aden glanced at him, not replying at first as he seemed to consider his words.

"Eli.. I think she's just feeling a bit anxious.. "

"Eli? Anxious? That doesn't sound like her. I thought her and Iggy would be right at home here.." Leo refuted.

Aden chuckled "I suppose they are at that."

The Charmeleon shrugged, realising he couldn't beat around the bush "But well, it's just you're not usually with us.."

Leo blinked at him "She's anxious because of me?" he questioned the Charmeleon "Why? Does she think I'll think differently of her just for seeing her indulge her libido?"

The Growlithe sat upright as if something just clicked "Or is she actually uncomfortable seeing me..." he paused as he contemplated how to finish his thought, eventually landing on "Divulging in carnality?" in a pathetic cough as he shyly glanced away.

Aden couldn't help but smile at the ridiculous choice of words. It seemed now the Growlithe had recovered in the sauna he was back to his more reserved self.

The Growlithe had already been with two highly desirable females and he couldn't so much as just openly admit it. He guessed it would take a bit more for him to truly open up.

"Well it might be something like that.." Aden answered noncommittally, knowing full well it was the case.

"Isn't that why we're here though? You wanted to help me open up and relax.." Leo broke off again before turning back to look the Charmeleon in the eye.

"Did I do something wrong?" he asked seriously.

Aden immediately felt guilty as he shook his head "Of course not!"

"Then why?" Leo pressed him.

The Charmeleon let out a long sigh "I think Eli expected things to go a little differently. I don't think she expected you to settle in quite so quickly, I mean none of us did."

He paused once more before admitting "I think she wanted to help you ease you into it."

"Oh." was all Leo replied as his face turned pensive.

Aden started to consider how best to salvage things when a thought occurred to him, slapping his forehead with a paw he exclaimed "Ahh! I didn't even tell you about the rooms did I? How could I forget"

"I booked three rooms in advance, Me and Iggy had one room each, and then you and Eli were supposed to share the other.."

Leo's ears perked at this. He was sharing with Eli? How had that not come up? He hadn't even thought about the sleeping arrangement yet, let alone given them any money to pay for his share yet.

The Charmeleon seemed to read his mind as he went on "Since we dragged you here, we thought paying for the room was the least we could do. Eli specifically asked to bunk with you though.."

Leo's mind began to race at this. Eli had wanted to share a room with him? Just what had she had in mind?

He couldn't stop the risqué thoughts from drifting in. If Zara had been his depraved fantasy girl, Eli had been the real one. One of his only three closest friends he had made since moving to the city.

Of course Leo had thought about her.

True he had a weak spot for species such as Vulpix who's luscious fur covered a more stocky build not unlike his own, but that was not to say it was his only area of interest.

Houndoom were tall and lithe with fine sleek fur and Eli was a stunning specimen of her species. She was well toned, having kept up her personal training despite not needing it in her day to day work.

At least this was what he had come to appreciate. In truth before meeting Eli he found Houndoom to be fairly intimidating, their horns and various external bones giving quite the unnerving impression.

Yet after meeting Eli who was sweet, kind, excitable and just generally the furthest thing away from those stereotypes, he had come to appreciate the species in a new light.

That was to say shortly after meeting her, his already rather extensive porn collection had gained a new folder titled Houndooms.

Of course he would never have admitted this to any of his friends, especially the Houndoom in question.

Having been lost in thought for a long moment, Leo finally came back to reality and immediately noticed two things.

One, Aden was staring at him with a smile on his face and two his sheath was once again filling as his noticeably red tip poked out of the fluffy beige sheath nestled between his legs.

He instinctively made a feeble attempt to hide his shame but he knew it was pointless at this point, the Charmeleon's smile only seemed to widen.

"Well I'm sure you two can work it out, we have the full weekend." Aden said casually, trying to break the tension.

This only made Leo flush harder though.

There was no sarcasm or innuendo in the comment though, he was clearly genuine and once again Leo found himself thankful he was with Aden rather than Iggy who would have been far more insufferable.

Another silence broke out after that as they basked in the delightful heat of the sauna a little longer.

Until the Charmeleon yawned "I could stay in here all day but I suppose we should head out, Iggy is probably wondering what's going on. Assuming he hasn't found himself his own tail by now."

Leo stifled a snort and nodded, breaking out in his own contagious yawn "Right.."

So reluctantly the two fire types exited the sauna, before making their way back to the locker room so Leo could retrieve his things.

Eli was nowhere to be seen but sniffing the air he could still pick up her fairly fresh lingering scent, mixed with the scent of the same complimentary shampoo he had used to wash himself. He guessed she had had a quick shower and already left.

He felt a little disappointed but also relieved as he was unsure how exactly to feel about Eli at that moment. Mostly he felt giddy.

Well such concerns could wait until later when he'd have to share a room with her.

Then a thought crossed his mind.

If he already had a room booked, didn't they come with baths? Couldn't he have just bathed in the privacy of his room and avoided this whole thing to begin with??
