#9 of The Adventures of a Blind Tigress

With Hope off feeding duty, Dannica has to find another way to satisfy her hunger. With Hope's help, she's trying someone new.


The music thumped around Dannica as she followed Hope through the door and into the room beyond. She held Hope's shoulder with one hand and her cane with the other. She was starting to be grateful that Hope had made her practice more and more with the cane while she was at home and while they were together because today, she was finding it even more useful than she ever had before.

She was still getting used to the swirling fabric of the short skirt against her thighs. She was just as stubborn as she'd always been when Hope had suggested dressing a little differently, but this time, Hope had won, pointing out that she was going out to attract a certain kind of person, and that kind of person was more likely to be lured in by something sexy like the skirt.

Dannica finally had to agree with that reasoning and she'd let Hope pick out something that she never would have worn in the past. If she'd have worn it when she was growing up, she was absolutely sure that any of the adults in Novvy Urengoy would have pulled her aside and shoved her right into a babushka's outfit. The hem of the skirt barely covered her backside, and she was positive that every time she moved, everyone could see right up it. Which wouldn't have been much of a problem except for the underwear that Hope had picked out for her. Lacy and thin, she could tell just by the feel when she put them on that they wouldn't cover much of anything.

All of that was at least blunted by Hope's other accessory. She'd found a selection of silk-like scarves in one of the stores and before they left the house, she tied one around Dannica's eyes, coving her scar even more effectively than any pair of sunglasses, and though it was something that drew a bit more attention to her, she was grateful for something so classy that also made her feel a bit less ugly.

"Where have you taken me?" she asked, leaning close to Hope's ear.

"It's this club that an old boyfriend took me to one time," she answered. Though they were trying to be at least a little quiet, they had to shout over the music that was so loud it was actually a physical sensation in Dannica's chest.

"Boyfriend?" Dannica asked, credulous.

"Hey, I was trying to be normal. You kind of blew that out of the water, didn't you?"

"I couldn't help it. You're got the most lovely voice I've ever heard. You got past all my defenses."

Hope laughed and led her further into the club.

"Best part about this place is even though they serve alcohol, they've got a deal with the city or something that lets in underage people. You just have to let them mark you for the night so that one of the staff doesn't accidentally get you hammered."

Dannica laughed. "Well, if we want that, then we can just ask Da. He's never said no before."

"Don't tempt me. I'm still trying to recover from this morning."

Dannica paid more attention to her cane in her hands as she walked through the crowd, feeling the telltale taps that told her she was striking feet, and though she let Hope lead, she was becoming more aware of how to adjust her walk to make her way through the crowd. In addition to the training and practice, there was something else that helped her. It was almost as though she could feel the people around her, tell where they were, at least in general. When she got close to some people it was like a breeze that washed over her and she could tell they were there. Some were more "there" than others, and whenever she passed by someone who was the most "there," she felt the hunger inside her flare briefly.

Hope stopped and Dannica felt her cane tap against something solid.

"We're at the bar, Danni," Hope said, taking Dannica's hand off her shoulder. "Jim here is going to give you your mark so we can go find a place to sit."

"Hello, Dannica," a male voice said. Though she knew that he had to speak louder over the music, it didn't sound like her and Hope, with the edge that spoke of shouting. She felt something press into her hand and then it was gone.

"Thanks, Jim!" Hope yelled, taking Dannica's hand and putting it on her shoulder again. "Do you mind bringing us a couple Cokes over to the table?"

"Not at all, Hope. Go on and take your pretty friend."

Hope laughed at Dannica's blush and then guided her away from the bar and to a table, helping her into the booth when they arrived.

"Don't worry, I found a nice, private table," Hope said. "How about we have a drink and then we can go see who we can find."

"I still can't believe you're taking this as well as you are," Dannica said finally.

"This is actually kind of fun. I figure everyone should have as much fun as they can while they're here, because who knows when everything's going to come to an end."

Dannica considered that for a moment and she felt Hope's eyes on her. Little brushes of the same winds moved by their table and she started to notice the differences between them.

"You've had enough crap, Dannica," Hope said. "You should let go and enjoy what you have."

Dannica chuckled and nodded, still not entirely sure where to start, but if she was going to be doing this with anyone, she'd rather be doing it with Hope. Another wind passed the table and this time she turned her head and took a sniff. Male cougar is what she got and she turned back to Hope.

"I think something else is happening," she said. "I can't hear anything but the music, but I knew he was right there. I could feel him."

"He's kind of cute, too," Hope said with a laugh. "I'd put him with the jocks, but he might just have good genes."

Dannica shook her head and laughed.

"Speaking of which," Hope said, "what are you hunting for tonight? Guy or girl?"

"I don't know if I'm ready for guys yet," Dannica said, shuddering lightly at the memory that sometimes surfaced when she thought about her last time with a man.

"Understandable," Hope said. Dannica felt Hope's hand take hers for a moment and squeeze gently.

It had taken Dannica a long time to finally open up about what she'd been through, and when she'd told Hope the whole story, she almost couldn't bear to be in the same room, but she'd stayed firm and she'd been rewarded with one of the most amazing cuddle sessions she'd ever had, something that almost pushed all the bad dreams away. Hope knew what she'd been through and she hadn't judged her one bit, and even now, she said nothing, just supported her friend's choice.

"Well, you've got your pick," Hope said.

There was a pause in the conversation and Dannica took the opportunity to feel the flow of whatever it was around her. She found it was like any other sense. The more she focused on it, the stronger it became and the more she could feel the subtleties inherent in it. Just like when she'd started to work on training her hearing and she was able to hear more and more and even distinguish between sounds to the point that she could tell familiar footsteps by their cadence, she started to feel more and more around her. The feeling from Hope sitting across from her was light and airy and barely there at the edge. From further away, she could feel others, some just as light as Hope, some much deeper and more intricate, and still others were so strong that they almost left a taste in Dannica's muzzle. She could tell the males from the females.

"I know just the person," Hope said finally. Dannica could hear the grin in her voice and she couldn't help wondering what her friend was getting her into.

"Really?" she asked, starting in on her drink, still not quite convinced that this whole hunting trip was a good idea.

"Yep. A friend from school. I spent enough time at her house to know that she's got more of a thing for girls than boys, even though not many know that."

"Just how good a friend is this?" Dannica asked, grinning herself.

"Let's just say we experimented a little and leave it at that."

"Fair enough," Dannica said, ears swiveling as another warm breeze flowed over her. This one was so strong that it about took her breath away.

"What was that?" she asked Hope when whoever it was had gone past.

"You don't want him," Hope said, "trust me. That was Miles."

"Miles?"

"Yeah, he's a junior. I'm surprised he hasn't tried to pick you up. He's tried about every other female in the school, even Mrs. Szymon."

"You're pulling my leg," Dannica insisted.

Mrs. Szymon was one of the oldest teachers in the school and even Dannica could tell that she was rather the opposite of attractive. To add to it, her personality when she was dealing with students made her start to think fondly of Kaminski.

"Nope, brought her flowers and everything. He'll try to hump anything with breasts."

Dannica giggled, but took note of the description. Miles was someone that wanted to fuck anything that moved and the breeze she felt from him was so heavy she nearly drowned. Hope on the other hand was light and airy and she had just been sated not that long ago. Maybe that was what she was feeling. It started to make a twisted kind of sense when she thought about it, that if she really did need some kind of sexual energy to live, then there had to be a way to tell the prey from the predators.

"You're thinking deep thoughts," Hope said, amusement tinging her words.

Dannica shook her head and smiled. "Nope, not that deep. I'll tell you when we get home so I don't sound like a lunatic in front of everyone here."

"Alright then," Hope said. "You going to sit here all night nursing that drink?"

"Nope, come on." Dannica held out a hand and slid out of the booth, leaving the drink on the table half full. "Let's go find this friend of yours and get to dancing."

"Thought you'd never ask," Hope said, sliding under Dannica's hand so that it rested once again on her shoulder in the usual spot.

Together they made their way away from the table and onto the dance floor. Dannica wasn't ever one to go dancing before she left Russia, but Hope had taught her enough that she didn't feel too self-conscious when she folded her cane away and leaned up against her friend. She wanted to get a little warmed up and used to dancing in public with others around before she met this new friend, so she danced with Hope for a few minutes. All the while she was moving, she kept her body against Hope's using her as both a dance partner and a director to keep her from getting lost in the crowd. She couldn't really complain about the arrangement, though, as it let her keep touching Hope's body, something she was never unhappy to do.

As they moved through the crowd, she kept her attention on the feelings of the auras around her. The more they danced, the stronger each one became around her, including Hope's. She could tell that she was doing at least something right with her dancing with her friend, but she wouldn't do anything about that with her tonight. She needed to rest, and that was what tonight was all about.

Hope was becoming an expert at leading Dannica without being too obvious and when they finally stopped moving through the crowd on the floor, Dannica felt her hips brushing against someone else. Then it was more than a simple brush and she stopped, turning to the person she had run into.

"I'm so sorry," Dannica said, smiling her best smile. The scent that greeted her most strongly was that of a girl bobcat, and by the feeling of her aura, she was more than a little ready for what Dannica needed.

"Watch where-" the bobcat started and then stopped suddenly with a little squeak. "I mean, hi."

Dannica chuckled to herself and felt her face flushing a little. Even with the scarf covering her scar, she never really thought of herself as amazingly attractive, and she surely didn't expect someone to have that kind of reaction. She felt Hope's hand prod her lower back in encouragement and she flipped her tail against her friend's thigh.

"Hi," she managed. "I'm sorry, I didn't see you there."

"I wouldn't think so with that scarf over your eyes," the bobcat said. After a pause, she continued, "You're Dannica, right? From school?"

"You know my name?" Dannica asked, surprised.

"Yeah, it's not like we get too many blind people at school and after what you did to Jared I think everyone knows about you."

"Oh, yeah, that," Dannica said, her ears flattening. She was never going to hear the end of that, it seems.

"I didn't mean it like that. He's an ass and I'm glad someone finally gave him what he deserved."

"Um," Dannica stammered. "Do you want to come have a drink with us?"

She felt Hope move behind her and there was another pause.

"Sure, I'd like that," she finally said. "I'm Jasmine, by the way."

"It's good to meet you, Jasmine," Dannica said as Hope led the way back to their table.

When Dannica and Jasmine had settled in, Hope left to go find some drinks for the three of them, leaving the two of them alone.

"Hope says you're a friend," Dannica said, reaching out to feel Jasmine's aura. It was stronger than it was on the dance floor, and Dannica wondered if Jared was really the only reason that Jasmine seemed to know about her.

"Yep," Jasmine replied, "we've been friends for years and years." She paused and Dannica felt herself blush, knowing that she was under the other girl's scrutiny.

"She's been a little more busy lately, though," Jasmine finally said. Dannica couldn't quite interpret the tone in her voice and she tried to decide if the other girl was annoyed that Dannica was taking up all of Hope's time.

"Sorry, I didn't know that I was keeping her from other things."

"It's alright, Dannica," Jasmine said. "To be honest, I've never seen her happier. It's not like we were girlfriends or anything, and when we've talked since she met you, I can tell that you make each other really happy."

"She's an amazing tiger," Dannica said with a smile. She reached out across the table and laid her hand on Jasmine's arm, frowning inside at the miscalculation. She was getting better and judging distances and directions, but she wasn't where she wanted to be just yet. Still, at least she didn't do something embarrassing. "She says you're pretty awesome yourself."

There was a tingling where her hand rested on Jasmine's arm and she felt the quiet hunger inside her flaring a little more at the physical contact. Something in the bobcat's aura responded to it as well and Dannica felt that breeze strengthen. Where it once was just a general thing, it became much more focused, all of it directed at her as the tingling in her fingers increased.

"Hope's always saying nice things, but I think she exaggerates sometimes," Jasmine said, her voice lower and much huskier than it had been. Dannica could hear the distraction in the words, and she could feel the attention that was being paid. She stroked Jasmine's arm slowly and gently with her thumb feeling the heat and the hunger answer those words.

"I can tell things about people, Jasmine," Dannica said, matching her tone to the bobcat's, "and I know that Hope wouldn't lie about something like that."

She reached out her other hand and found Jasmine's hand easily. When the second contact was made, the tingling increased all the more and something that felt very similar to Jasmine's aura flowed between her hands and Jasmine's. She could hear Jasmine's breath getting shallower and a small sound told her of the nervous lick the bobcat gave her muzzle. She grinned wider and leaned across the table, getting closer.

"My Da's out of the house for the evening," she murmured. "Want to come over and see what kind of trouble we can get into?"

"With you and Hope?" Jasmine asked.

"Yes," Dannica said with a nod. "With the two of us."

"I think I'd like that a lot," Jasmine said, just in time for Hope to come back.

"Okay, I've got some things to take with us when we go," she said. Dannica could hear the smile in her voice and the small tinge of something naughty behind it.

"I think we're ready when you are," Dannica said, letting go of one of Jasmine's hands and turning to slide out of the booth. Jasmine matched her on the other side and Dannica stretched out her free hand the way that she always did, and as always Hope's shoulder was waiting for her. The buzzing sensation in her fingers didn't seem to discriminate between the two of them, but Dannica could tell that Hope was much more sated as her aura didn't respond nearly as readily to the attentions.

"Then I think we should get going. There's only so many hours in the night," Hope said, starting for the door.

Dannica didn't even think about needing her cane, not with both Hope and Jasmine to lead her through the crowd, and together the trio walked out the door and into the street, heading for home.

***

Hope had done well picking the club that she did, Dannica reflected as she walked with the other two girls. Having Jasmine on her arm as Hope led them both made her realize just how well Hope took care of her. She knew that Jasmine wasn't her seeing eye tiger, but the differences were striking in the way that Hope led and in the way that her body moved with confidence in front while Jasmine was more one that followed, and Dannica could feel the tension coming off her in waves, almost a physical thing. There was still that something else, though, the power that was interacting with her mind and her body in an ebb and flow between her and Jasmine.

As a little experiment on the way home, she decided to see of she could affect the strength or the speed of the power flowing between them. With a little thought, she started trying to increase the intensity. Jasmine's hand tightened on hers and she heard a catch in the bobcat's breath. She smiled softly and when she breathed in, she could smell the effect that it had on the girl. The scent was strong enough that she could have been in heat.

Dannica took the opportunity to slide her arm around Jasmine's hips, pulling her in close to her while they walked. Jasmine was about four inches taller than she was, a couple shorter than Hope, so Dannica was sure that it looked odd, the larger tiger leading the way with the two of them flirting behind her. She didn't care, though. It was something that she needed to do, and that didn't mean that she couldn't have a bit of fun with it.

"Thinking hot thoughts?" she asked in a quiet whisper, leaning her head towards Jasmine.

Jasmine was silent, but Dannica felt the small hesitation in her step at the question and she giggled softly.

"You don't have to pretend, Jasmine," Dannica said. "I can already tell we're going to have a good time."

Jasmine didn't have time to answer that before Hope came to a stop and Dannica heard the sound of the key in the lock.

"We're here," Hope said, her voice as cheery as ever, though Dannica heard something familiar that she didn't really expect to hear behind her friend's words. The tone matched the scent coming from her friend as well. Hope was just as excited as she was about this whole thing.

Together, the three of them walked through the door and Hope closed it behind them, sealing out the sounds of the world as it clicked shut. Dannica motioned to her to follow as she led Jasmine up the stairs, staying quiet out of habit and instinct. She knew that her father was out for the night, staying out on some kind of trip with his friends from the military, but the old habits died hard and she was so used to trying to be as quiet as possible with Hope. Even though he was fine with the two of them, it was still a bit uncomfortable for her to really have it out in the open.

As soon as the door to the bedroom closed behind her and Hope and Jasmine, though, it was something else taking over. She'd felt it before with Hope, but now, this evening, it was stronger than ever, and she idly wondered if it had something to do with the fact that the night had been all about securing prey for her. It was time to let the internal predator out of its cage for the night. The thought filled her with dread and excitement all at the same time.

Regardless of how she felt, though, she needed to do this and she let that part of her to the fore, just a little at first. She grinned and then turned suddenly and pressed her smaller body up against Jasmine's and with a quick step forward, pushed her up against the wall. With her body pressed so tightly to the bobcat's, she didn't need her hands for the familiar landmarks, and when she leaned in, her first kiss found Jasmine's throat.

It was a light kiss, but it brought a growl to Jasmine's lips, which Dannica answered with one of her own. She heard Hope stepping off to the side, and though she wondered what it was about all this that had her friend so turned on, she didn't want to break the moment by asking.

She planted another kiss at the base of Jasmine's throat, this time opening her muzzle to scrape her teeth lightly through her fur against sensitive skin. Jasmine sighed and Dannica felt her hands finally start to wrap around her, pulling easily on Dannica's shirt. She was definitely more into it than Dannica gave her credit for at the beginning and she lifted her arms to let the smooth fabric slide off her body. She was getting adept at tucking her head in just a certain way to keep her shades or her blindfold from coming off without her wanting it to, so when her chest was bared, she still retained the smooth strip of fabric around her eyes.

For her part, her hands were too busy exploring Jasmine's body to really focus on getting her undressed yet. She followed the curve of the girl's body down her sides to her hips and thighs and then around, hands cupping her backside gently with another little growl. It was easy enough to follow the curve of her neck up to the side of her jaw and then around to her lips, kissing lightly the whole way. When her lips met Jasmine's, she pressed them hard and almost forced her tongue between the bobcat's lips.

Jasmine didn't need any more in the way of encouragement, and Dannica gave a chuffing growl when Jasmine's lips parted to let her in. In all the time that she'd spent with Hope, all the nights rolling together in the same bed and feeding her hunger without conscious thought, she'd always held back, even if only a little. When she found out what she was, the control was even more ironclad. Tonight, though, she could feel it growling beneath the surface even more than usual. It was something wild pacing behind the bars of the control that she held so tight.

The thought and the feeling scared her, but it added a thrill to the night, feeling the power inside her swelling and responding to the taste and touch of the bobcat in front of her. She could still hear Hope off to the side, her breathing quick and excited, and she knew that she could finally let go a little of that control. She knew that Hope would never let her go too far with Jasmine, and the same trust that was born of so long relying on her for even some of the simplest things let her place that same trust in her now and she shrugged open the bars that held the beast.

Her growl grew louder and even as small as she was, she held the larger bobcat to the wall and pressed the kiss as far as she could, feeling her fangs scrape lightly against Jasmine's lips as she pushed gently against the girl's aura. Jasmine responded just how she was expecting, and the larger girl pulled Dannica against her even harder.

Dannica heard Hope's footsteps and felt the breeze of her breath against her ear as her companion whispered, "Bed, love."

Dannica grinned and let out a low growl, one part possessive and the other aroused, and with a twist of her body, pushed Jasmine backwards to the bed. She pushed a little harder than she was planning, and she heard Jasmine's fumbling steps as she tried to maintain her balance, followed by the creak of the bedsprings when she couldn't manage it. Part of her wanted to be mortified and check on Jasmine, but the other part of her, the one that was in control right now just followed along in her wake, stalking the bobcat like prey.

She could hear Jasmine giggling from the bed, and between the sound and the feeling of her aura, she knew exactly where she was, and her short leap landed her right on top of her target. Skilled hands stripped Jasmine's top off and went to work on her pants without a second thought. Her usual meticulous care about tossing clothes around the room went right out the window and in only seconds, with a little help from Jasmine, the bobcat lay naked beneath her, her clothing scattered about the room.

Dannica took a deep breath as her hands wandered over Jasmine's body, her fingers painting their pictures for her, from the shape of the feline face to the curves of her body, and when she was done looking, her fingers found themselves between furred thighs, stroking through damp and heated fur. While her fingers played, Dannica lowered her muzzle and licked her rough tongue against Jasmine's belly, giggling as she felt the twitching muscles and heard the girl try to stifle giggles when she hit a ticklish spot.

Little by little, Dannica made her way down Jasmine's belly until her lips found the small swell where her fingers were playing. With a moaning growl, she dipped her head and dragged her tongue along Jasmine's sex, taking her first taste. Jasmine's moan of pure pleasure awakened the pacing energy inside Dannica even more, and the taste of her arousal broke it free. She reached up and laid her hands on Jasmine's belly and let all of what she was holding back flow from her to Jasmine, drawing a gasp from Jasmine's lips and a slow trickle of arousal from between her legs, which Dannica eagerly lapped clean.

She was so focused on Jasmine that she didn't hear Hope moving behind her, and the feeling of her companion's hands on her hips drew a start. She lifted her head and turned her face over her shoulder only to feel Hope's hand on her head pushing her down between Jasmine's thighs once again.

"Pay attention, love," Hope chided softly.

Dannica chuckled, a low and husky sound at the playful tone in Hope's voice and did as her companion bade, turning her attention back to the splayed bobcat. Drawing her hands back, she pressed Jasmine's legs apart and used her thumbs to spread her lips wide, pressing her nose right up against the cleft hard enough to elicit a groan as Jasmine ground herself against Dannica's muzzle.

From behind, Hope had managed to pull Dannica's shorts down off her hips to her thighs and Dannica felt her companion's fingers caressing her through the thin fabric of her panties. She blushed furiously, knowing that the night had made it obvious what she was feeling, but if she was going to share that with anyone, she was certain that it would be Hope.

Jasmine squirmed harder under Dannica's ministrations and she redoubled her efforts, pouring more of her energy into the girl, letting it take root inside and grow even further, pushing Jasmine to sensations of pleasure the girl had never felt before, and she was suddenly glad that they had the house to themselves, as Jasmine's moans and shines would likely have woken even a deep sleeper like Duke.

Dannica's voice joined Jasmine's though, when Hope pulled her panties to the side and slid two fingers into Dannica's body. Dannica could feel them curling down inside her, stroking hard against a spot Hope had found in one of their play sessions weeks ago. She didn't have time to savor the feeling as much as she'd have liked, though. The flow of Jasmine's aura changed subtly and instead of a breeze it was like the current of a river, flowing down over Dannica's face and she knew that it was almost time.

One final thrust of her power, and her tongue, into Jasmine and the bobcat let out a scream as her hands clenched the bedsheets. Dannica opened herself as she did with Hope and let Jasmine's pleasure flow into her, feeding the hunger that was always there. As she fed, she could feel the energy flowing back to her, back to where she could readily control it and to where it wasn't so easy to let it out.

The sheer feeling of the feeding pushed her to the edge with Jasmine and the next stroke of Hope's fingers inside her distracted her from the feeding, likely at a perfect time. The power receded and her control of it came back as her body convulsed around Hope's fingers. Her cry sounded as Jasmine's was finally coming to an end. When it was over, she let herself fall to the bed on top of Jasmine, sliding her body off Hope's fingers, and with a growl of satisfaction, she curled up against the fluffy bobcat fur.

She heard Hope shuffling about for a moment and then smiled happily when she felt Hope's naked body curling up against hers, trapping her between her companion and her new friend.

"That was incredible," Jasmine said, finally recovering the ability to speak.

"Knew you'd like it," Hope answered, the smile evident in her voice.

"I can see why you're always so busy, though," Jasmine said, giggling.

"It's not just the sex, Jas," Hope said, reaching over Dannica to stroke Jasmine's shoulder.

"I can see that, too," Jasmine answered.

Dannica felt Jasmine's breath on her nose moments before the kiss, and she returned the tender press of lips.

"Stay the night?" Dannica asked.

"Won't your dad be upset?"

"Wait until you meet him," Hope said, chuckling. "He's not quite like any dad I've ever met."

"I bet Hope already left a note telling him to do an extra breakfast in the morning," Dannica said, turning her head over her shoulder.

"You know me too well, love," Hope answered. "Tomorrow is pancake day."

"Pancakes?" Jasmine asked. "In that case, I'm all yours all night long."

Dannica sighed, content and sated. "Probably best to rest for a few before we do anything else."

Jasmine yawned, and though she tried to hide it, Dannica heard it and chuckled. "See?" she asked. "Get some rest."

Together, the three laid in a comfortable and cozy pile on the bed and Hope reached down to pull up the covers and Dannica drifted, as happy as she had ever been in her life, finally looking forward to the new days ahead with an eager anticipation rather than the usual anxiety. Things were starting to make sense, and with Hope's help, she knew that she could handle whatever happened to come along.


"He left her alone?"

"Yep. Seems Duke's a bit of a softy when it comes to the girl. Wanted to give her space."

"Well, that gives us an opening. Have you been keeping track?"

"Yep. Three days, almost on the dot. Might be six depending on the other girl."

"Call the boys. Tell them six days. I'm sure Mikhael will be pleased."

"Fine. But after this, we're through. I'm not going to hang around to watch what Duke does to you when he finds out."
