Passion

A/N: Thanks goes out to Silver Foxfire for the one review I received. It\'s interesting how different the review amounts are between here and ff.net. Ah well. On with the plot.

Merle rubbed a hand across her lips for the one hundred and fifty sixth time, trying to get rid of Hitomi\'s taste. It didn\'t work anymore than the previous one hundred and fifty five times.



It had been a whole week since the two girls had their little confrontation in the castle library. Since then things had been even more tense between them than usual. In public, around Van, Allen, and Millerna for instance, the catgirl was as insulting and scathing to Hitomi as ever, and the brunette had snapped back with the same vigour. But in private, Merle was avoiding Hitomi like death. Every morning she would be sure to wake up before Hitomi and rush down to the dining room where the others usually were.



The catgirl was puzzled by her behaviour. Why should she care if she was alone with Hitomi? The answer lay in the library incident.



After they had fucked each other senseless, Hitomi had professed a desire to \"do this again some time.\" Merle told herself that she was avoiding Hitomi because she despised the other girl and didn\'t want to feel her hands running over her body again, bringing her to a mind blowing orgasm. But the simple fact was that part of wan wanted to do it all over again.



The memory of her first time with a girl haunted Merle\'s mind. It was something she disliked because she had always thought such contact was innapropriate. But if life had taught her one thing, it was that she hated rules. On the other hand, she HAD liked being dominated by Hitomi.



All this was sifting through Merle\'s mind as she lay on her bed, idly flipping through a book on certain innapropriate subjects. The book came with pictures too, and the catgirl studied them intently with a hand down her skirt, rubbing herself furiously. It was far too easy to picture herself and a certain sandy haired girl in those positions.



The door opened and Merle quickly jerked her hand out of her panties, stuffing the book beneath her pillow at the same time. She turned to snap at whoever had opened the door, but her tongue froze.



A week\'s worth of hiding from Hitomi went down the drain in half a second.



Recovering herself, Merle glared defiantly. \"What do you want?\" she hissed.



\"Van says that supper is ready\", Hitomi said. \"Millerna\'s apparently trying her hand at cooking.\"



Merle repressed a shudder. \"I\'m not hungry.\"



\"Neither am I.\" Hitomi cocked an eyebrow and the corner of her mouth twitched.



The moment stretched on for seconds. Both women\'s eyes were locked in some invisible contest. Merle gestured. \"You can leave now, you know.\" She turned her head to look ou the window stubbornly. She heard the satisfying sound of the door closing but nearly jumped in surprise when she felt someone else sit down on the bed. Turning, she growled at Hitomi. \"What do you think you\'re doing?!\"



Hitomi was looking at her strangely. Those beautiful green eyes weren\'t angry or even lustful, but they were quizical. \"I\'ve been wondering something. Why do you hate me?\"



\"Why?\" Merle snorted and looked away. \"Because I just do.\"



\"Oh really?\"



The catgirl jerked when she felt a pair of lean arms wrap around her softly and pair of long slim legs rub against hers. She shuddered when Hitomi spoke softly into her ear. \"Are you sure you don\'t want to tell me?\"



\"Maybe I don\'t like being taken in libraries.\"



Hitomi snickered. \"Oh, you like it. \'Oh Hitomi! OH!\'\" she mimicked Merle\'s voice.



\"Har de har har\" Merle laughed sarcastically. \"Would you let go of me?\"



\"But I like holding you.\" Hitomi kissed the back of Merle\'s neck sensuously, feeling the catgirl shiver. One of her hands slipped down Merle\'s stomch, caressing her gently, and came to a rest between her legs, only inches from her hot and increasingly wet sex. \"Come on\" she coaxed. \"Tell me.\"



Merle gritted her teeth against the growing desire she was feeling. \"Well, why do you hate me?\"



\"I don\'t know\" Hitomi answered truthfully, still ravishing Merle\'s slender neck. \"Probably because you treat me like something you stepped in.\"



Despite herself, Merle laughed. \"That\'s about it. You fell from the sky and turned my whole life upside down. I was going to merry Van some day, and I loved him. Then you come by and take him from me, with your special powers and your short pants and your stupid cards. Every male in the castle loves you, you know, especially Van. You just don\'t see how he fawns over you. He used to go to me for advice and comfort, and now he\'s got you. You might know how it feels to be displaced by some total stranger, but I doubt it.\"



\"No I don\'t,\" Hitomi admitted. \"But you don\'t need to worry about me stealing Van from you. I just don\'t feel for him like that. I think I\'m much more liekly to steal you from Van.\"



\"What?! What are you babbling about?\"



\"I thought you\'d have figured it out by now.\" Hitomi\'s hand that rested between Merle\'s legs slipped casually into the catgirl\'s pussy and started stroking the hot velvet flesh. \"I\'m a lesbian.\"



\"A...AAAH! A what...?\" Merle gasped. Hitomi grinned and ran her tongue up Merle\'s neck.



\"I\'m a lesbian. I prefer sex with women to men.\"



Merle snorted. \"So you\'ve fallen in love with me, and now you\'re trying to ravish me in my bedroom, hmm? Sounds like a scene from a bad romance novel.\"



\"Well, you\'re just so sexy I couldn\'t resist it.\" Hitomi plunged two fingers into Merle\'s tight cunt and started drilling her hard. She smirked at the scream that tore from the catgirl\'s throat.





\"You may not be a total lesbian, but you\'re definately bisexual\" Hitomi told her. \"You\'re loving this, aren\'t you? You wouldn\'t let me continue if you didn\'t.\" Hitomi used her free hand to jerk Merle\'s head back, bringing them face to face. Without hesitation, she pressed her lips to Merle\'s in a sensuous kiss.



Hitomi\'s hand job made Merle squeal, and she took the open mouth as an opportunity. She slipped her tongue into the catgirl\'s mouth, touching her\'s then drawing back, trying to make Merle kiss her back. Merle gasped then moaned, and Hitomi mentally cheered as she kissed back, chasing Hitomi\'s tongue back to her mouth. The two french kissed passionately, their hot sweaty bodies pressed hard together.



Hitomi curled her fingers in Merle\'s pussy drawing forth a scream. She broke the kiss and latched onto the catgirl\'s throat, kissing the slender neck and leaving marks from her lips. Her fingers in Merle\'s pussy increased their tempo and pulled her bodily over the edge. She came hard and nearly went limp.



The next thing Merle knew, Hitomi had maneouvered her onto her back and was lying atop her, attacking her lips with renewed ardour. The catgirl cried Hitomi\'s name again as the bigger girl\'s hands found her breasts, manipulating them viciously, lovingly.



Someone knocked on the door. \"Merle?\" asked a voice muffled by the wood.



Merle\'s eyes shot open. She pushed Hitomi off the side of the bed and out of sight. \"Come in.\" she called out, crossing her legs to hide her orgasm.



The door opened and Merle felt a familiar twinge in her heart when Van peered into the room. \"Merle, are you okay?\" he asked, concern written on his face.



Merle nodded and smiled. \"Of course Lord Van! I just wasn\'t hungry, so I didn\'t come down to supper.\"



\"Ah. Alright then. If you do get hungry, there\'s leftovers.\" He winced at the memory. \"Well, I have to plan strategies with Allen. I\'ll talk to you later.\"



\"Bye lord Van!\"



Merle waited for Van to leave before turning on Hitomi with a vicious glare. \"Now out!\" She pointed to the door.



Hitomi raised an eyebrow. \"I really don\'t get you. A minute ago, you were on your back, waitng to be screwed senseless. Now you\'re kicking me out? You\'re lucky you\'re so hot.\"



\"I decided enough was enough.\"



\"Fine then. I\'ll go. Oh, do you mind if I borrow this?\" Hitomi picked up Merle\'s book and grinned. \"I think I might need it tonight.\"



\"JUST GO!\"



Merle grabbed Hitomi by the arm and shoved her out the door, slamming it shut behind her. She seethed as she heard the girl\'s laughter. \'I\'ll show her hot,\' she thought viciously.
