“Uh… Katie?” I called out.

Katie turned in her seat and then came scooting into the living room, sliding on the wood floor in her socks like she was attempting to recreate the scene inRisky Business. The look on her face when she saw me was both amazed and shocked.

Oh. My. God,she mouthed at me.

“Mags!” she whispered excitedly, gesturing me over to the kitchen. “Get in here!”

With some effort—Caleb tried to grab hold of me as I clambered over him—I disentangled my limbs and stood nervously in the middle of her living room in only my underwear.

“Can I, um, have some clothes? Where are my clothes?” I asked.

“Right—I’ll grab you some. Man, Dr. Lowe wasn’t kidding. You two were really out of it!”

“Carmilla is fine, please,” said the doctor with a gentle wave as she sipped her coffee.

Katie ran back to her room to grab me some spare clothes, and I hurried into the kitchen and glared at Carmilla.

“What the fuck is going on?” I hissed at her. “Why are we naked? Why are wehere?”

Carmilla blinked at me from above her wire-framed glasses and leaned forward conspiratorially. “There is literally no better way for a pair of horny sex demons to keep calm than to have them touching skin to skin, so I might have undressed you two. Besides”—she took a sip of her coffee—“I told your friend you two were waiting for your clothes to dry after the rain earlier. She doesn’t know a thing, don’t worry.”

I looked up at the clock on the wall. It was nearly seven in the evening. I closed my eyes.Shit.That meant I’d missed second mass, too. If my parents hadn’t already sprung a trap for me the second I returned to my apartment, then they’d definitely be setting one up for me soon. They’d never try and come over to Katie’s or do something public; their worst abuses had always been behind closed doors.

“Where have we been all day?”

“Mostly here for the last couple hours. Prior to that, I had to spend some time losing a possible tail or two, setting up some decoys.” She grinned like we were discussing the weather. “We should be okay for a while. I’ve also masked our auras, but you’re going to have to keep him from waking up a little while longer, so go cuddle—but donotdo anything more. You and I will need to talk about some—oh hey! There she is!”

“Got ‘em!” Katie said in a singsong voice as she pranced back into the room and handed me a tank top and a pair of her leggings. “I’m so glad you decided to stop by. I was dying to meet your guy there, and holy shit, Mags”—she lowered her voice—“he is unbelievablyhot. I mean… I cannot believe you bagged a guy like that! If he’s rich, too, I’m definitely going to make an appointment with your doctor.”

Behind her, Carmilla mouthed,Keep him sleeping.

“Yeah, for sure. Amazing luck, right?” I pulled the clothes on, but noticed with dismay they were much tighter on me than they had been just the day before yesterday, even though Katie and I were normally close in size. My breasts barely fit into the shirt. “Uh, what about your café? Is it?—”

“I closed it at five, but haven’t broken anything down, so I’ve gotta get back soon. Just chill out here, and I should be done cleaning by in about an hour or so. We can head out to dinner afterward.”

The thought of going out and being around people made my head throb. I already felt like I’d been run through some kind of crazy physical gamut, and it was hard enough just focusing on the conversation without having to imagine the crush of people, sounds, and smells—lights… I shook my head.

“Uh… going out for dinner? Couldn’t we just make something here? I’ve got somewhat of a headache, so I wouldn’t mind something smaller?—”

“Smaller? Nonsense! We should celebrate the occasion!” Katie said, reaching over and giving me a hug—a tighter-than-usual hug, and sighing. “Oh, there’s also some good news I wanted to mention, so I think we should go all out.”

“I, uh… Katie?” I hedged when her palms started to travel south toward my rear.

“Did you gain some weight or something?” she asked, grabbing my ass with both hands and squeezing, pressing a kiss against my neck. “You feel… nice.”

“Carmilla…?” I called, frozen, as Katie’s desire begin spilling into my awareness. “Can you help me out here?”

The doctor appeared and draped her arm over Katie’s shoulders. The reddish haze of her aura soon engulfed my friend, and Katie let go and glanced up at her with adoration in her eyes.

“Katie,” Carmilla said with a gentle brush of her thumb against the other woman’s cheek. “You may want to set up an appointment with me sooner rather than later, yes?”

Katie stared up at the doctor like she had forgotten anything else in the world existed. “Yes,” she agreed, breathless.

“You’re a little lacking in your own sex life as of late, aren’t you?” Carmilla traced the outline of Katie’s mouth with her finger, then let out a delighted gasp as Katie opened her mouth and pulled her finger inside. “Oooh, I see.”

The doctor removed her finger from Katie’s mouth and replaced it with a kiss. Tenderly, she pressed another kiss against her lips, and Katie moaned as she reached out and squeezed Carmilla’s breasts through her blouse.

“Carmilla…?” I asked, feeling like I was witness to something too private. Katie’s desire at her touch was absolutely brimming over.
