Maybe it was the party atmosphere present in the air this particular evening.  Maybe it was something about the way that Akiko touched her tail (which was something that Michelle almost<em>never</em>let people do, but again, she tried to find a reason to say no and came up blank).  Maybe it was just that she was lonely and hadn't gotten any fun for a while.  Maybe it was the idea of being at a New Year's Eve party and<em>reading</em>.  Maybe it was just how raw and sensual Akiko was.  Maybe it was all of them.<br/><br/>But for whatever reason, the moment that 'Champagne' suggested they make out, Michelle mashed her face to the fox-woman's muzzle in what was probably going to be a rather awkward kiss, at least for her.  Not awkward in the sense of inexperience, reader, but in the sense of not a face to a face.  Well, answer was had, now.  Whatever the deciding factor had been, it had come at precisely the wrong time for Michelle to try and mount any sort of measurable resistance to the call.
