Engulfed in the pleasant mix of Akira's scent, perfume and Skuld's closeness - the scent of her hair and her skin -  Maleena had a lot to take in, even for someone in control as much as she usually was. Well, except when... oh,  that exception was close enough, anyway.<br/><br/>Her soft purr rumbled on, increased in volume and a little in pitch as Akira's nimble fingers teased her hair, scalp and sensitive ears with a kind of skill Maleena had not known too often. Humans had a way with their fingers, a dextrousity that came with the forms of their labour, their ability to write with a pen or type for hours on bouncing keys on a keyboard. Some humans had the ability to coax music from instruments and usually, the fingers of those people were even more dexterous than those of the average, skilled person. Only once had Maleena had the pleasure to be under the care of a magician - a performer who did tricks for which an unusual skill in the fingers was vital. His scratches, strokes and his touches had been<em>incredible</em>, but the owner-catgirl liaison had only lasted for a short while. It had lasted precisely to the moment at which the magician figured that Maleena might have been flattered to be part of his shows and tricks for the first ten times, but then couldn't be forced to participate regularly when she wasn't in the mood. Her moods didn't always match the performance schedule, so that was that.<br/><br/>Whatever Akira did to train<em>his</em>fingers... it was really good. And the way he said "my beauties..." - the calmness in his voice... the simpleness of the words... he obviously had a feeling for the situation, which made it all even better.<br/><br/>Maleena, too, took a lick near the spot Skuld had determined, jealous she should have tasted this when Maleena hadn't. She feelt Skuld's warm, familiar breath against lips and Akira's soft skin under her tongue. Skuld was so close... purring... probably feeling the same sensation of skillful fingers in her hair and on her ears as Maleena did. Just now, Akira was massaging there ears between his thumb and index finger - a procedure that had always been one of Maleena's weaknesses. It felt fantastic.<br/><br/>And Skuld was here with them - filling her heart with that soft, fuzzy feeling...<br/><br/>Without thinking, Maleena kissed Skuld's lips right by Akira's neck, claiming them for love and possession - she loved their warm, soft texture, and the way they could be so playful and gentle when they captured Maleena's. Wherever she had gone alone, no matter how pleasant, no matter how well such people as the dexterous magician himself could kiss, she had always missed Skuld's kisses to the point of heartbreaking pain.<br/><br/>But she didn't have to this time. Now she had it all - Akira's scent and dexterous fingers and Skuld's perfect kisses.
