In the Heat of the Crimson Queen
by Power of Alchemy
Wanted to rework this because I can hardly look at the original without cringing. Still not really where I want it, but it's certainly a lot better.
Be Anon, suburban middle class guy with an average job
Not poor but not exactly rich either
You live alone in a rather nice apartment
It’s about one o’clock Sunday today, and all you’ve been doing so far is sleeping
But Vivian, a good friend of yours, just called suddenly after a few weeks of silence
She’s an anthro fox, just the basic orange, white, and black
The common colors, although her cousin supposedly has a pretty funky coat
You’ve known her since you were young
It’s astounding that you’re still good friends with her after all this time
And it’s relieving that she contacted you, you were starting to get worried
You texted her a few times prior, but she didn’t respond at all
And it’s been an even longer time since you last saw her in person
That’s in the past, though
You walk up to her apartment and knock on the door
When it opens, you see Vivian for the first time in nearly a full month
She looks like she hasn't left the house in days
Her winter coat looks ruffled up under her Weezer shirt and black spandex shorts
Seems bit strange for a lazy Sunday afternoon, but you were never much a fashion guy yourself
Her hazel eyes squint in the sunlight, trying their best to get used to it
"Hey, how's it going? Haven’t hung out in a while, huh?" She says, in what sounds like her best attempt to mask physical pain
”Yeah, how’re you doing”
"Uh, i've been alright, kinda" She responds with
You walk into her house and holy shit it's cold in here
Given her fluffy coat, you expected her house to not be as warm as yours
But you didn’t expect it to be so freezing
"Heh, sorry for the temperature. I know you don’t tolerate cold like I do, I’ll go raise the thermostat”
Uh-huh
The door opens to her living room, which has an old couch and a shitty TV which (as far as you’re aware) is almost never used
"Let’s head to my room, I have all the games in there"
Her bedroom was only a few feet away from the front door
It’s significantly warmer in here
And sweaty
She bends over to turn on the console on the floor
You try not to look her behind when she does that
The spandex isn’t helping
As good of an ass as she has, you don’t wanna come off as a creep
Even if she can’t see your actions
She gets up and turns back around, holding two controllers
And of course, the TV turns on to some fighting game
Called “The Last of the Line 3”
You have no idea what it’s about, but the men are ripped almost to a comical extent and most of the women have barely any clothes on
Vivian's been a huge fan of the fighting genre since she was little
And not much seems to have changed
She constantly brags about having over 7,000 hours clocked in across all games
Way too much in your opinion, but she doesn’t seem to have turned into one of those slobs who only plays those games and doesn’t take care of themselves
As long as she doesn’t turn into that, you’re not gonna judge her too much
The game starts
You pick a burly looking bear character, and Vivian chooses a human guy with green skin
You have no clue what’s happening, you’re just pressing buttons
It’s working, though
Although even if you’re not familiar with the game, you know she’s playing noticeably more poor than she usually does
She’s not even like this when she goes easy on you
And you even manage to win a game
She congratulates you, but she looked less and less interested in the game as it goes on
She’s distracted by something
After a few more rounds, she stretches and says, “Can we take a break? I need to recharge so I can stop losing"
Uh-huh
She moves to turn the console off as you recline against the wall on her bed and realize just how sweaty it is
It was unnaturally hot in here when you first entered
But it’s gotten so much worse after a while
After Vivian changes, TV is changed to some random channel, she crawls up next to you
The TV shows a sitcom, given the canned laughter, but you’re too distracted by Vivian to tell which it is specifically
She’s a bit too close for your comfort, having her head leaning on your shoulder
And she’s subtly moving closer and closer to your chest
After a particularly loud laugh track following a man jumping off a moving truck, Vivian suddenly turns and climbs on top of you
Her head leans into your chest, and you’re fairly certain she’s sniffing you
And she’s just laying there
”Uh, Viv-“
"Shh... just let me enjoy this"
Really weird... but you kinda find it cute at the same time
She’s making small, barely audible whimpers as she cuddles up against you
The whimpers slowly get more and more loud as her head moves closer to your face
Uhh
At first it was cute, but now it's starting to get really weird
Too weird for someone you’ve considered a friend your whole life
You're already sweating a lot, but she’s accelerating it
Her intense cuddling and body heat isn’t helping at all
It’s kinda hot, in a sexual way
You feel yourself start to get hard
Fuck, this is awkward
Still hot though
"Aren’t you hot in this getup? C’mon, cool down a little" She says as she unzips your jacket
Yeah, you are actually
You can lose the jacket
And maybe roll up your sleeves as well
"You must be hot in those pants too"
Okay what the fuck
What’s even more fucked up is you not even protesting as she unzips your pants and pulls them down
Your best friend that you’ve known since elementary school is now cuddling up against your shoulder, while you're in your boxers
In a hot room, while sweating profusely
If this was years ago, and she was spending the night at your house over the weekend or something, you’d suspect nothing
But you’re both in your mid twenties now
It’s hard to describe, but there’s a difference between friends sitting close to each other stripped to undergarments and watching some random show
That’s what good childhood friends do, right?
You’ve only ever done this with Vivian
Maybe you just never picked up on the sexual tension until now
Hm...
She adjusted herself again, and now she’s straddling you
She’s not even trying to hide it
Those shorts pressed against your erection
Her breasts pressed against your chest
Fuck, you better say something
Uhh
Uhh
Uhh
What do you say?
Reject her? Talk dirty? You’ve never done this before
Rejecting her could end this all and likely preserve the friendship, but this is the closest you've been to sex
It would make this really awkward as well
Talking dirty could enhance the mood
But you’ve never done it before! Should you just follow what they do in porn?
C’mon, think Anon, think!
Your rambling thoughts are interrupted by her leaning in and whispering something to you
”I need you, anon"
Fuuuuck
You can feel her grinding against you now
Porn never prepared you for this
Okay, you gotta say something now to seal the deal
Your mind races with words to say, eventually stuttering out something
”Let me take your wheel, angel” you say with your best attempt at a smug smile
...
One of her ears flattens a bit and she puts on a quizzical look, “...What?"
FUCK
You had one chance you say something and you fucked it up
You tried saying four different pickup lines at once
Her confident and lusty visage is broken by your awful line
You stutter out a few more incoherent sounds before she shushes you with her finger
"Shh, it's okay. I'll take the lead, I guess"
You seemingly ruined the mood, for both you and her
Even, even as she's pulling your boxers down and grasping your cock, you can't get back into the moon
You could've tried just kissing her and not saying anything
That was actually a good idea
Fuck, why didn't you think of that?
She leans in and gives your member a long lick
It feels good
...Yeah
She’s giving you a blowjob now, or what she interprets as one
She’s taking barely any of it, and her teeth are kind of painful against the head of your penis
What do you even say
It feels so quiet in here, but it isn’t
You can hear her trying to suck you off
As well as the TV in the background, which up to this point, you tuned out of
The sitcom is the same, one of the characters, an anthro coyote girl seems to be trying to fight off a man in a wheelchair
The laugh track is going off every five seconds, which certainly makes your current situation a whole lot worse
It feels like a crowd of people are watching you have sex
After a while, she stops
She crawls closer to you and hovers her cooch over your hips
She has a look of uncertainty on her face
"Here goes..."
Your cock enters her
You did it
You’re not a virgin anymore, but at what cost?
Your friendship?
Your dignity?
A chance at a relationship with her?
Well, maybe not that
She’s slowly inserting it into herself deeper and deeper
Fuck, it's tight
Her visage of an experienced sex haver is long gone
You’re unsure of what to do now
Hug her? Is that what you do during sex?
You raise your hands and place them on her hips as she shakily starts to move up and down
She’s moaning and whimpering, but you can't help but stay completely quiet
It just… feels off
Is this what years of jacking off almost daily does to you?
Eventually she stops and puts a concerned look on her face
"Everything alright, Anon? Do you want me to stop?"
”Uh, no but- I’m mean it’s-“
Her face changes from a concerned look to a soft smile
As you continue stuttering, she places a finger over your mouth and makes a shushing sound
"It’s alright we don't need to rush things.” She says
She removes herself from you and cuddles up under your chin
"I may be in heat, but I haven't lost self-control. I can wait a few more hours"
She moves up to your lips for a kiss
You stay silent in an attempt at not fucking it up this time
Her lips meet yours
Her wet nose brushes against your face as you two meet lips
It was, admittedly, a bit awkward given her snout, but still
You don't want this to end
Eventually she pulls away, leaving a trail of saliva as she does
You both sit and stare at each other in silence
But this time, it isn't awkward
It feels like this is an embrace
Like her eyes are pulling you into a warm hug
She smiles
"C’mon. let's go try something else, we can save this for later"
”But isn't she still in heat?”
"Yeah, and it still burns, but I’ll save myself for when you're ready"
That made you feel warm inside, and a bit excited at what’s to come
You both clothe yourselves and sit back on her bed
The sitcom is still going on, the coyote girl is now downing a whole bottle of vodka in the middle of a desert
"Sorry if I rushed things. I just couldn't take the heat anymore, and sorry if I forced myself upon you" she says, staring at the screen as if she’s scared to look at your reaction
”Nah, it’s fine. At least our friendship wasn’t ruined”
She doesn’t say anything, but puts on a soft smile in response
You spend a few minutes just laying and cuddling with her while watching the (admittedly pretty funny) show, but there was still one thing nagging you about all this
”Hey, why didn’t you act like this in previous years” You ask her
”Heat suppressants, but I decided not to take them this time. Getting good cheap suppressants for my species is hard this late into heat season”
Huh
She eventually gets off you and says, "Anyway, let's go listen to some Weezer. I have their whole discography except Raditude on CD."
