I woke up to a heavy feeling of... warmth? Not the kind that came from thick blankets or the dim glow of a heater, but something living, steady, and so all-encompassing that it felt like a cocoon I didn’t want to leave. As I blinked awake, I realized where that warmth came from. Jin lay against my left side, tucked so close that the soft, rhythmic rise and fall of her chest was perfectly in sync with mine. Her horns brushed my jaw with every breath, the faint texture of them like a grounding tether. Her hand rested lightly on my chest, her fingers curled just enough to graze the edge of a tit, poking it when she shifted. Her tail was draped lazily across my leg, its tip twitching occasionally, even in sleep.
On my other side, Vivi was practically fused to me, their body molded against mine as if they’d forgotten the concept of personal space. Their arm sprawled possessively across my stomach, fingers brushing against Jin’s tail as though testing a boundary neither of them would acknowledge awake. Their breath was warm against my shoulder, slow and steady, the usual tension in their brow and the calculated edge in their posture were gone, replaced by something so rare it was almost unrecognizable: peace.
I didn’t dare move. The room was quiet, bathed in the faint, muted light filtering through the curtains. It felt fragile, this moment, like the stillness could crack apart at the slightest wrong motion. The events of the previous day clawed at the edge of my mind, vivid and unrelenting. For some reason, my mind lingered on the conversation on the balcony. I’d thought we were veering toward dangerous territory—words that couldn’t be unsaid, truths that couldn’t be ignored. And now, with them pressed against me, their body relaxed in a way that it hadn’t in years, I couldn’t stop thinking about it.
Jin shifted first. Her fingers flexed against my chest, squeezing my tit through my shirt, the movement subtle but enough to pull me back to the present. Her horns brushed my jaw as her head tilted slightly, and her tail tightened briefly around my leg before relaxing again. She hummed softly, a sound so low and content that it settled something restless in my chest. The succubus looked delicate like this, her sharpness dulled by sleep. I didn’t know if I’d ever get used to the way she trusted me enough to be this close, this vulnerable. It was a weight I carried gladly, but a weight all the same. A thought for another day.
A low groan broke the silence, followed by the slight tightening of an arm around my waist. I turned my head just enough to catch the faintest flutter of movement as Vivi stirred. Their eyes cracked open, narrowing almost immediately against the light spilling through the curtains. “Morning,” they muttered, their voice rough and lower than usual.
“Morning,” I replied, keeping my voice quiet so as not to wake the sleeping succubus in my arm fully.
My friend stretched, their arm brushing Jin’s tail once more as they moved. The reaction was immediate: Jin’s tail twitched sharply, a small flick that could’ve been warning or protest. Vivi blinked at the movement, their trademark smirk forming almost instantly. “Well, isn’t this cozy,” they said, their tone sleepy but carrying the smallest edge of teasing. “Guess the bed’s fitting us all after all.”
“You’re the one who decided to wedge yourself in.”, I countered, blissfully ignoring the fact I was the one who’d asked them to stay.
“Not my fault you’re like a living furnace,” they shot back, their smirk widening as they shifted slightly closer, their arm draping more firmly over my stomach. “You practically invited me.”
Jin stirred again, her fingers pressing more firmly against my chest, almost as if to remind me where her claim began. Her horns barely missed skewering me as her head tilted upward, and a soft hum escaped her lips. Her tail coiled briefly around my leg before relaxing, and this time, her eyes blinked open, pinkish and hazy with sleep.
Her gaze met mine first, soft but searching, before flicking briefly to Vivi. Whatever the sleepy succubus saw in their position—Vivi’s arm, their smirk—elicited a faint narrowing of her eyes, but she didn’t move away. Instead, she shifted closer to me, her body pressing more fully into my side as her hand slid under my shirt and upward, knowing full-well where it was headed. Her touch wasn’t aggressive, but I could tell it was deliberately to tease Vivi.
“Good morning,” I murmured, brushing my hand gently through her hair. The silky strands slipped between my fingers, and the slight tension in her expression softened. She let out another quiet hum, her head nestling back against me as her eyes drifted closed again, pressing a quick kiss to my chest that felt searing despite the shirt separating her from me.
Viv smiled slyly. “Well, she’s awake. Guess I’m officially outnumbered.”
Jin’s tail snapped lightly against Viv’s arm, making them flinch slightly. I chuckled, shaking my head. “You were outnumbered the second you crawled into bed,” I said.
The narrative has been illicitly obtained; should you discover it on Amazon, report the violation.
“Touché,” Viv replied, their grin widening. “Still doesn’t explain why her tail’s got it out for me.”
Jin’s lips twitched into a smirk, her tail brushing against Vivi’s leg in what felt like a deliberate move. Her gaze met mine briefly, a flicker of playfulness in her expression before she settled back against my chest.
“See?” Vi said, gesturing toward her tail. “It’s plotting my demise.”
“Or maybe it just doesn’t like you,” I said, my tone light.
I could feel the succubus’ grin widen as her tail flicked again, catching Vi’s thigh this time. They raised an eyebrow, sharp eyes narrowing in exaggerated offense. “Oh, it’s like that, huh?”
“Enough,” I murmured, brushing my thumb along the base of one of Jin’s horns. She hummed softly against my chest, leaning into the touch.
Vivi flopped back onto their side, their head resting on my shoulder once more. “I missed how comfortable you are” they whispered after a moment, their voice almost contemplative.
“Me too” I admitted, though my tone carried less weight than the words deserved.
The quiet stretched between us, the air heavy but not stifling. I could feel the tension from last night lingering, unresolved, but I wasn’t ready to bring it up—not now, not here. Jin’s presence against me, warm and steady, grounded me enough to let it lie for now.
Vivi shifted again, their arm tightening briefly around my waist before they rolled onto their back with a groan. “Alright,” they said, their voice brightening with an edge of forced cheer. “This is getting way too wholesome for me. I’m grabbing coffee before I catch feelings.”
“Bring me one,” I called after them, watching as they stretched and shuffled toward the door.
“Only because I’m feeling generous,” Vi replied, flashing a grin before slipping out. “Be back in five.”
----------------------------------------
The door clicked softly as Vivi left, leaving the room wrapped in a familiar, heavy quiet. Jin didn’t move immediately, but I could feel her settling deeper against me, her tail tightening slightly in its familiar place around my leg. Her fingers rested lightly on my chest, no longer tracing patterns but still holding their place like she was claiming her space.
When I tried to shift, even slightly, the response was immediate. Her tail coiled tighter, her body pressing more firmly into mine as her hand slid up toward my shoulder. I paused, half expecting her to ease, but instead, she hummed softly, a low, contented sound that carried more intent than it should have.
“I’m just sitting up,” I said, my voice low and careful, though the words felt more like asking for permission.
Her eyes lifted to mine, still heavy with the haze of sleep but sharper now, carrying an unspoken command: don’t move. Her fingers flexed slightly, her hand resting with enough pressure to remind me who was calling the shots.
I let out a slow breath, settling back into the pillows. The tension in her body eased almost instantly, her tail relaxing its grip as if rewarding me for my compliance. Her lips curved faintly as she nuzzled against my neck, her warmth a steadying weight against me.
“Comfortable?” I murmured, brushing my fingers through her hair. She tilted her head into the motion briefly, her horns brushing my jaw with the kind of precision that felt deliberate. Her tail flicked once against my thigh, the motion unhurried but firm, as if answering without words.
I tried again, slower this time, to shift enough to glance toward the clock. Her tail tightened briefly, but she didn’t stop me. Her hand squeezed the boob it was resting on, like she was reminding me she was still there.
“You’re something else,” I muttered under my breath, though there was no real frustration in my voice. She hummed again, this time softer, as her lips brushed against the side of my neck. Her teeth followed, grazing just enough to send a ripple of sensation down my spine before she pulled back, watching me closely.
The sound of footsteps broke the stillness, and Jin’s ears twitched slightly, though she didn’t lift her head. Vivi returned, carrying two mugs of coffee and balancing a plate of toast on top of one.
“Morning fuel,” they announced, their grin already in place as they set the plate and mugs on the nightstand. “Before she has you pinned here all day.”
I thanked them and reached for the coffee, slow enough this time to avoid setting off another protest from Jin. Her tail shifted but didn’t tighten, her hand remaining where it was as she watched me.
The coffee was strong, its bitterness cutting through the last fog of sleep as I took a sip. Vivi stretched out beside me, their sharp eyes flicking between Jin and me with obvious amusement.
“You two look cozy,” they said, their tone lilting with humor. “Should I be jealous?”
“She’s comfortable,” I replied simply, taking another sip of coffee. Jin’s tail flicked once, brushing my thigh in what felt like acknowledgment. She didn’t look at Vivi, her attention still focused on me, though the faintest twitch of her lips told me she’d heard.
“She’s got you wrapped around her tail,” Vivi teased, their grin widening. “Kind of impressive, really.”
“She knows what she wants,” I said, glancing down at Jin. Her fingers shifted slightly against my chest, her touch steady but unhurried. Her tail flicked sharply against my leg before settling again, a subtle punctuation that felt more playful than annoyed.
Vivi chuckled, draining the rest of their coffee before setting the mug on the nightstand. “Well,” they said, stretching as they stood, “as fun as this is, I think I need a smoke. Balcony calls.”
“Don’t be long,” I said, watching them move toward the door. They glanced back at me, something changing briefly in their expression before their grin returned.
“Don’t let her eat you alive while I’m gone,” they said with a wave, their voice carrying its usual teasing edge as they slipped out.
Jin lifted her head slightly, her gaze following them for a moment before turning back to me. Her hand resumed its slow, measured patterns against my chest, her tail curling more loosely around my leg now. She hummed softly, the sound low and contented, as she pressed her weight into me again.
The sunlight creeping through the curtains grew warmer, painting the walls in gold as the world outside faded.
"Fine, five more minutes."
