The store’s open till eight on Fridays and naturally, it was busy so I couldn’t sneak away a little early. Good for the bank account but not so mu...ch for my evening plans. Dani would have been home, showered, probably shaved her legs for tonight – maybe shaved something else, too. I just hoped she hadn’t felt or discovered my little surprise.I had a guy come in the store about a quarter till eight, all apologetic with some reason why he hadn’t been in earlier but was overhauling the engine on. Brown feathers also covered her head, in place of hair, but resembling a shoulder-length hair style. Her garment was of a backless maillot design, supported by a strap around her neck in order to not interfere with her wings. It too was covered in brown feathers, the softer body type rather than the long wing variety. The neckline plunged low enough to show a fair amount of cleavage. Her breasts were smaller than her normal ones but larger than those of the serpent girl form."Oh, my!" Jonath. I’m unconsciously holding my breath and my whole body is tensing up. This is so wrong.“This position is so pleasant for my arms. They’re completely unencumbered. I haven’t felt this relieved in so long! Do you mind if we stay like this for a bit? You can continue with my bed-bath if you like. You can reach the towels and pans, they’re just here and you can easily wash my back and legs.” I’m feeling trapped. I’m not comfortable with this position at all. Her gorgeous body pushed against mine. She wasn’t the only one hurting. My people found out the price of riding a horse everywhere or driving a wheeled vehicle. We’d become soft. Not as soft as Helen, Carmen, or Gus, but soft compared to what we’d been when we hadn’t had horses. Even my feet were hurting.The long trek did allow us to get to know Helen, Carmen, and Gus a little better. Some of what I learned seemed good, and some I learned simply pissed me off.Gus was going to be a problem. His attitude showed clearly that he hadn’t.
