A Fox's Love (American Kitsune Book 1) Page 11

  Mrs. Smith stayed up for a while longer as her husband began to snore away. After several moments in which nothing happened, she also laid back down and decided to get some more shut eye. The horrifying scream and strange conversation that followed it were soon forgotten as she found herself in the land of Morpheus.

  Life for Mr. and Mrs. Smith continued on normally.

  Chapter 9: The Life of a Not so Normal Teenager

  For the next week, life for Kevin continued normally.

  Or at least as normally as possible when you had a fox girl who claimed you were her mate, called you Beloved instead of your actual name and tried to jump your bones every chance she got.

  When put like that, his life didn't sound all that normal, did it?

  That being said, he had at least managed to work out a daily routine that, while not ideal, kept him from losing what was left of his sanity. This “routine” went something like this: wake up, find Lilian asleep with him on the couch, share a “moment” with Lilian some time after he woke up in which he would become embarrassed because she was trying to sex him up, and she would pout because she hadn't succeeded. He would then go to school, stay after school for track practice three days out of the week, come back home to work on homework and have dinner, go to bed, and repeat the whole thing over again. That was the basics of what his life now entailed.

  Sounds almost like the life of a regular high school student.

  ...

  Pfft! Yeah right.

  Sometimes Lilian would be waiting with food on the table when he got home, like on the days where he came home after track practice. He had to admit those times were nice. Lilian was an extraordinary cook. Even meals she had never made before often turned out better than anything he made, regardless of how long he had been cooking said dish compared to her.

  It was a real blow to his pride as a chef, or at least someone who had been cooking for a number of years.

  Life was just so unfair sometimes.

  Other times, he would arrive early enough that after he finished his homework, he would be able to make dinner. He wasn't as good of a cook as Lilian , and didn't think he ever would be, but this didn't bother her one bit. Lilian loved it whenever he made something for her and had no trouble... expressing? Yeah, let's go with that. She had no trouble expressing her gratitude towards him.

  Kevin couldn't help but feel a little hot under the collar when he thought about some of the things she had done to show her gratitude.

  It shouldn't come as a surprise that all of those instances involved her trying to give him more physical affection than he could stand, often times while she was naked.

  Considering she only wore one article of clothing anyways, that really didn't mean much.

  Several particularly sexy situations stuck out in his mind more than others. One instance had really imprinted itself in his psyche. It had been a truly scarring experience. He didn't know people could bend like that.

  Regardless of any of that, he had to admit that living with someone else, and a girl at that, was an interesting experience. Potentially lethal (Lilian was Dangerous with a capital D) and incredibly embarrassing, but interesting nonetheless.

  He didn't think he would ever get used to it though.

  After dinner, once again depending on the day, he would either get started on his homework or, if he was already finished, sit on the couch with Lilian and watch TV. Or play video games. Kevin had learned from Lilian that she had never played video games, which was a crime because video games were awesome. Apparently, her mom didn't approve of her children corroding their brain via video games, television or any other type of brain corroding media, or at least, that was the vibe he was getting from Lilian.

  Talk about harsh.

  On a side note, Kevin had blushed heavily when he noticed just how cute Lilian looked when concentrating on whatever video game they were playing. Whether it was killing zombies in Resident Evil or tapping away on the guitar controller for Guitar Overlord XII, she would always have this look of intense concentration where her delicate eyebrows would furrow cutely, and her small tongue would poke out from between her lips as she stared at the screen with a look of such utter focus that one would almost think she was watching Kevin while he slept.

  And that sounded kind of creepy. Scratch that, it sounded really creepy. Good thing Kevin didn't know she did that. Watching him while he slept, that is.

  Of course, just because he thought she was cute didn't actually mean anything, Kevin reassured himself every time Lilian did something that made his face heat up in a good way. You know, like an “aw, that's absolutely adorable!” kind of way as opposed to the “oh my god! I can't believe she just did that! I'm so embarrassed!” kind of way. And yes, there is a difference.

  ...Anyways, just because he thought she was attractive didn't mean he liked her like, well, like that. He was still in love with Lindsay, as he kept telling himself every time Lilian would catch him off guard with a kiss (you think he would be used to those after a week of being on the receiving end of them, but no).

  Or when she would crawl onto the couch and sleep with him after he had fallen asleep even though she had a perfectly good bed.

  Or when he would wake up the next morning to find her sleeping with him on the couch and them both in a very compromising position.

  Yes, none of that stuff did anything to change his love for the girl he had been crushing on for the past three years.

  Because, you know, having a girl that was the epitome of female perfection show how devoted she was to you would never change the mind of the Main Protagonist. What did you think this was? Some kind of anime where the beauty of the Main Female Heroine is directly proportional to how quickly the Main Protagonist falls in love with them? Pu-lease. Go watch Rosario+Vampire if you want that kind of crap.

  Well, if nothing else, having a super hot fox-girl crawling onto his couch (and him) and using him as a life sized teddy bear gave him a great appreciation for the female figure.

  As Eric would say, the girl was stacked.

  This morning had been no different from all the other mornings he had woken up since Lilian barged into his life, even though it was a Saturday and there was no school. He had woken up after falling asleep on his couch (on a side note, he had taken to lying so that he was facing the west rather than the east, that way the sun would not get in his eyes when he first woke up). Like always, Lilian was lying on top of him, her head turned so that her cheek was resting against his chest, her breasts smashing into his torso and her legs a tangled mess with his own.

  She still wasn't wearing panties, a fact that made itself known as she unconsciously rubbed herself against his left thigh, leaving behind a wet trail of something he'd prefer not to think about.

  Needless to say, compromising did not begin to describe the situation properly.

  As it had been five days since the first night Lilian had snuck onto the couch with him, he did not react by screaming his head off like all the other times this had happened.

  He did, however, flush a deep shade of lobster red as he felt the girls bosom squishing against his chest. She still wasn't wearing a bra―not that she had one to use in the first place―so he could feel the stiff twin peaks on her chest rubbing against his skin through her shirt. Distracting also did not describe the situation properly.

  Eventually, after laying there for upwards of five minutes like some kind of red faced idiot, Kevin managed to gain some semblance of self control.

  Really, all that means is he managed to keep from passing out. In any case, with him now awake and no longer incapable of acting, he rolled the red haired beauty onto her side and got out from underneath her so he could take a shower.

  It should be noted that this was much more difficult than it sounded. The reason being that Lilian seemed to be capable of sensing when his presence, or maybe the warmth of his body, was attempting to leave her. Each time he tried to get out from underneath her, the girl's hold
on him would tighten. Often times she would actually wrap both her arms and legs around him in order to keep him from moving, making escaping her grasp a real challenge.

  This morning was no different. Removing the girl's limbs from around his body took nearly ten minutes. Even her tail had decided to get in on the action.

  Once in the bathroom and stripped down, Kevin put himself under the ice cold spray of the shower in an effort to bring the temperature of his overheating body back to manageable levels. Seriously, just staying in such close proximity to that girl made his entire body feel like it was being roasted over a fire.

  As he stood there under the shower head, his eyes closed and his body shivering from the cold, the sound of the door clicking open went completely unnoticed.

  For those of you who are wondering, yes, this is the complimentary “Embarrassing Shower Scene” that every Shōnen and Seinen styled romantic comedy has as a fanservice. It's a tradition that cannot be ignored.

  While the sound of the door opening and closing went unnoticed, the shower curtain being pulled aside did not.

  Startled, Kevin turned around, more out of instinct than any real desire to see who had intruded on his shower. It wasn't that hard to figure out who he would find standing behind him. There was only one other person in the apartment aside from himself.

  Having turned a full 180 degrees, Kevin laid eyes upon the person who was now in his presence.

  His eyes widened. His jaw dropped. A shiver went all the way from the crown of his head down to his toes and his heart stopped beating for a full second before it sped up until it felt like a hummingbird was trying to fly out of his chest.

  Lilian was standing before him, completely naked as she looked him over with a bright smile and flushed cheeks.

  An odd strangled sound issued forth from Kevin's throat. If it had to be described, the sound would be something like “murgle.” Naturally, Lilian ignored the noise he was making in favor of examining her mate in all his naked glory.

  In his shock and blank-minded state he had not covered himself.

  "Morning, Beloved," she looked him up and down once, then licked her lips in a way that was as blatant as it was suggestive. "You're looking delicious this morning. Seeing you like this makes me want to eat you... ufufufu..."

  Her words managed to bring some coherency to our Hapless Hero's mind. His reaction was about what has come to be expected from him.

  "W-Wh-What the heck are you doing in here!?" His voice was very high pitched as he spoke. More like shrieked. Not that he could necessarily be blamed, even if he should have expected this to happen at some point.

  "I came to see if you wanted me to wash your back," Lilian was still staring at him. Her smile widened as she looked down again. "Though I could also help you wash... other hard to reach areas if you wanted... ufufufu..."

  When he noticed just where her eyes were looking, he gave a mouse-like squeak and moved his hands to cover his crotch. Lilian pouted at him, but he ignored it.

  "Out!"

  "Aww, come on, Beloved."

  Lilian's eyes grew phenomenally wider than usual as she looked at him. They became quite dewy as well. To top it off, her lower lip began quivering. The combination of wide, teary eyes and quivering lips created an irresistibly adorable look that would put any man regardless of sexual preference down for the count. In short, she had just unleashed the ultimate technique.

  "Please..."

  "Guh!"

  Kevin struggled not to give into the dreaded Puppy Dog Eyes. Or would they be Foxy Kit Eyes? He supposed it didn't matter. No matter what this fearsome technique was called, it was a struggle to keep his resolve from breaking at the sight of something so moe.

  The fox ears drooping on her head did not help one bit. Nor did the fact that she was naked.

  "I-I won't be swayed..."

  In an attempt not to let her expression or nudity get to him, Kevin ended up covering his eyes with his hands (and thus forgetting to keep other things covered).

  This effort to not look at the girl before him was ruined before it even began because Kevin, bless his soul, despite being a shy and easily embarrassed young man, was also a teenage male. Some things never change when it comes to the male gender

  All Men are Perverts is a trope that can be applied to all men, which meant it applied to Kevin just as surely as it did for someone like, say, Eric. It is this thorough and well-explained reasoning that expounds upon why the young man's efforts were doomed right from the very start.

  What did he do that made his efforts end up being in vain? He did what any male in his position would do.

  "You're peeking~" Lilian sang out in a teasing and pleased voice.

  "Wha―!?" Kevin quickly covered his eyes more fully. "N-No I wasn't!"

  "Oh?" Lilian quirked one of her delicate eyebrows. Her lips curved into a smile. Not that Kevin could see it anymore. "Then what were you doing?"

  "N-Nothing."

  Liar.

  "Hmm... well, whatever. If you don't want to admit you were peeking at me that's fine."

  "Ugh!"

  That was Kevin receiving a metaphorical punch to the gut.

  "Just knowing that you were looking at me is enough to make me feel special."

  "Urk!"

  This girl was quite merciless.

  "I-I wasn't... I mean, I didn't..." Kevin tried to explain himself, not that he would be able to because, really, he would be lying and everyone knew how good he was at that. And it wasn't like it mattered anyways. Lilian wasn't listening anymore.

  "Sure, sure, I believe you." She obviously didn't. "Anyways, are you sure you don't want me to wash your back? I promise you'll enjoy it, ufufufu."

  Lilian took a step into the shower. Kevin twitched as he peeked through his hands again when he heard her feet make a 'pitter, patter' sound against the wet tile.

  A second later he squawked in surprise and began backing up while Lilian advanced on him. Soon, he found himself pressed against the tiled wall with nowhere to go as Lilian continued to walk more fully into shower and stopped once she was directly under the spray of water.

  "I didn't get to help you wash up these last few days because you always woke up and finished showering before I could join you." Naturally, because he had planned it like that ever since she first tried to join him. "So I was hoping I could wash your back today."

  His arms dropping to his side like a pair of fifty pound weights had been strapped to them, Kevin's pupils dilated as he took in the sight before him. And what a sight. Standing under the spray of the shower head, Lilian looked even more bewitching than she normally did.

  That was saying a lot, considering Kevin had already freely admitted, if only to himself, that she was the most gorgeous example of a female he had ever seen.

  Her long, lustrous red hair was matted down on her head and plastered to her skin. Her bangs stuck along her cheeks and forehead, surrounding and somehow making her emerald irises even more enchanting than they usually were. Several of the longer strands were sticking to her body in strategic locations that almost seemed like they had been placed there for the sole purpose of drawing his eyes to the beautiful curves she possessed.

  Kevin subconsciously gulped as he saw one particularly long strand flowing down her neck, moving across her collar bone before roving over the upper swell of the ample curve of her bosom as it traveled a dangerous path straight down the center of her incredibly well formed breast, just barely managing to conceal her nipple from view. Another was flowing along the outer swell of her right breast, following that perfect curve before sticking along the side of her slim waist.

  There were many other strands that drew attention to more of Lilian's perfect body. Kevin found it hard to keep his eyes from trying to follow all of them.

  And that was to say nothing for the water that traveled down her glorious figure. Tiny droplets from the spray above that soaked her body and trailed wet paths across her perfect, unblemished skin. Kevin'
s eyes caught one adventurous droplet as it left a trail down her slender neck, traveled along the dips and curves and contours of her upper body as it moved towards her chest, where it proceeded to roam along the swell of her breast before disappearing between her cleavage and reappearing along her taut, flat stomach several seconds later. After dipping into and out of her belly button, it disappeared within the trimmed patch of red hair just above her, well, let's just call it her girl spot. We've still gotta try and keep this down to an M-rating, you know.

  Looking back up, Kevin's eyes were inexplicably captured by the hypnotic green irises of the girl who had claimed he was her mate. She was smiling at him, seemingly pleased about something, though he could not fathom what. Actually, he couldn't fathom much of anything right now. His mind had temporarily left him.

  It may have had something to do with all the blood flowing from his head to somewhere else.

  "Well?" Lilian asked, forcing Kevin to snap out of his daze. He took one look at her mischievous and seductive expression, then flushed bright red.

  "N-No thank you," Kevin's breathing was heavy as he tried to retain his hold on his consciousness. His vision was beginning to darken, but he valiantly fought against it. Do not pass out, Kevin. Passing out in the shower is bad.

  "In that case," Lilian began again, turning around and exposing her backside to him. It was currently hidden by the waterfall of long, thigh length red hair, but that would change soon.

  Grabbing her hair, Lilian moved the silken strands over her shoulder, exposing her entire backside to him. She then craned her neck to look at him out of the corner of her eye. "Perhaps you would like to wash my back?" A seductive smile crossed her lips as she wiggled her tight, toned tush at him. "Or maybe you'd like to wash something else?"

  This time with an unfettered view of her backside, Kevin found himself once more trailing the girls flawless form. His eyes took in her soft, feminine shoulders and traveled along the delicate arch of her back before stopping at the tight, peach-shaped butt that seemed to jump out at him as dozens of water droplets traveled over and around it. The single tail she had out was even lifted into the air so that it would not spoil his view of those perfectly rounded twin cheeks.
