It was as if some omnipotent force that had been guiding her life being unable to go on with her story had simply given up, and dumped the poor humanoid back in her own room as if nothing had happened.

But it had, and Agate remembered, and that was the most important thing. She pushed herself up so that she was sitting, arms crossed over her high knees and brows knit together in thought. There was no way that she was going to sit here, having these memories... and then a thought (another one of those damned things!) popped to mind. A grin tugged at the corners of her lips, and she slipped off the bed to further her plans.

"Mew!?" cried she, which translated into something like "Oh, why have you abandoned me to such horrible fates, out here in the cold and empty spaces? I die a little inside every moment I remain without!") "Meowr?!" ("I'm going to starve to death out here in the next few moments; my strength is failing with each passing second! The agony!") And so on.

As if on cue, the pitter-patter of little elemental feet approached the door, which immediately thereafter was flung wide open. KTFE, much like last time, swooped upon Agate and began making various 'oojeeboo' noises, nuzzling the little white cat for a moment before whirling around and back into her room, kicking the door shut behind her. So far, everything was running well.

Purring with much smugness, the kitty would have tapped her paws together, if it were possible. She was here, she was in the elemental's arms... perhaps she'd given the powers-that-be the slip!

She struggled for a moment, then slipped out of KTFE's arms. With two quick bounds she was up on the elemental's bed, which, to her at least, seemed much less awkward then that ratty old couch! Standing on the fluffy covers, her tail atwitch, her head lowered just a touch, she said, "So, do I get a second chance?"

The red-headed woman stared blankly for a moment, uncomprehending... and Agate despaired. Had KTFE forgotten everything? Were things doomed to repeat as they had before? The very thought left Agate ready to give up and try to find some other, less fulfilling satisfaction... but then the elemental shook her head as if to clear it. That lazy, feral grin was back, the sight of it kicking Agate's heartbeat up a few notches. She trotted across the space to the bed and squatted, nose to nose with the small feline. "no second chances if you keep looking like that, kitty."

"Well of course not!" Agate retorted, tail floofing indignantly. She shivered and shook as if to dislodge water from her body, and then (with a slight 'pop' of a noise) the cat was replaced with a waif of a girl, standing on hands and knees, the neckline of her silk shift revealing more then it hid. "That any better?" she asked.

"Mmmuch," KTFE purred back, oozing onto the bed and circling Agate, starting on one side and ending on her other. "Now, you said you wanted a second chance..." She nipped at the girl's shoulder, eyes wandering. "How do I know you're not going to just disappear on me again, mmm, kitty?"

"I'll be good?" Agate replied, her voice betraying a hint of uncertainty. "Besides, the last time, I figure it happened because of me..." she lifted a hand and twiddled her fingers conspiratorially, "...you know." There was no sense in going into too much detail, lest she find herself disappearing again!

KTFE's grin turned even more feral, the elemental barely acknowledging Agate's words. "You understand," she said, her voice dangerously smooth, "that if you disappear and then try to come back again, you won't get any say whatsoever in what I do to you." The words were half warning, half invitation...

"Does it look like I'm planning on disappearing?" Agate retorted, haughty.... but her arms were prickling at that tone in KTFE's voice. Of course, only the pleasant side of the elemental's warning was running through her mind. She didn't toast up very nicely, and probably wouldn't make very good bacon...

"'Course not," the red-head said, the threat disappearing from her voice, "you're a smart girl. Kitty. Whatever. Now..." With the agility of a cat, she suddenly slipped beneath Agate's all-fours self, but rather then submitting herself as a bottom, she moved to flip Agate with particular skill, so that suddenly the blonde found herself on her back, KTFE on all fours above her. "Now..." she repeated, softly.

Blinking at the rapidity of the motion, Agate could only echo, "...Now?" She recovered quickly, however and a smile spread across her face. She pressed into the soft blankets, arching her back and stretching out. Her shift slipped up a little, as all good shifts tend to do, revealing milk-white thighs and a lack of any other undergarments... (who needed those, anyways?) Once finished with her stretched, she simply sprawled in wait,

"Aww, you're not challenge," KTFE complained, though her grin negated her disapproving words. "You're just begging for me to get kinky on you, you know..." This accompanied by an idle smirk. Her fingers had begun to wander already, finding Agate's pale thigh and tracing her way up it, slooowly, tickling just a little. Well... maybe more then just a little. The girl squirmed under the light touch, just barely restraining herself from slapping KTFE's hand away. It was just as hard not to start cackling, so instead she put her full effort into squirming out of reach.

"No fair!" she exclaimed, though whether it was to the tickling, or the possible kinkiness, no one could be sure.

The fire elemental just grinned wickedly. She leaned down again, and (another bout of deja vu washed pleasantly over Agate) ran her tongue up the length of the girl's neck, her hand persisting in its travels up Agate's thigh... eventually catching the edge of that shift, and pulling it up slowly. "You wouldn't put up with it if you didn't like it."

"Mmm," The blonde replied... not exactly coherent anymore. "You've got a point..." Goosebumps had marched down her arms and belly again, and she shivered.

KTFE traced at the goosebumps with exaggerated lightness, half trying to drive Agate mad with ticklishness before she even got to the good stuff. "Of course. I'm always right," she idly pointed out between licks that were turning into toothful bites. Her hand continued up again, dragging the sensual silk shift up Agate's body, bunching at her breasts before drawing over them... one silky fold at a time, agonizingly slow... Then KTFE licked her lips and leaned her head back, tugging the shift upwards. "Arms up, kitty."

Luxuriating in every motion and gesture, the 'kitty' didn't respond at first... but then she slid her arms back and over her head, giving off a noise as close to a purr as a human throat could get her. Words seemed to form slowly for her, but finally she said, "You realize, of course... that now I'm going to have to pay you back some time?"

Flicking the shift off without a second thought, KTFE's red eyes caught Agate's, and she purred back, "I fully expect it, kitty." Then, keeping one hand free to hold Agate down, lest she tried to move, the elemental went back to work, her other hand going back to its leisurely tracings, her mouth returning to nip and lick at soft skin. Agate wriggled a little, enjoying herself even as she realized that the elemental was slowly--agonizingly slowly--working her way downwards. Hoping to catch her at her own game, the blonde arched here, bent there, raking in every touch for all that it was worth... but that only caused KTFE to snicker and renew her teasing. Free hand flicking and tickling here and there, then going back and moving with that same agonizing slowness, she interchanged her tongue and teeth sporadically, moving her way down to pay attention to Agate's lovely breasts and nipples.

Agate stifled a little gasp of pleasure as KTFE's questing tongue moved playfully over one hard nipple, then the other. Sighing most sensually, the girl's reactions to KTFE's continued attention were more reflexive then anything. Eyes heavily lidded and head lolling gently, she was enjoying each moment... but every little bit of gratification only made her more aware that the elemental was holding back... And in a twisted sort of way, KTFE was holding back because she knew that Agate would be aware of it and want more. Without the blonde even realizing it, her legs slipped open, and KTFE slipped a knee between them to keep the girl from changing her mind and closing them again. Then, back to business, she licked and nimbly tongue-tweaked--whoops, was that a nip? And while she was distracting Agate that way, her other hand was moving down, touching much more lightly, as if to escape notice and surprise poor Agate when it reached its destination. In the meantime, 'poor Agate' had registered the convenient knee between her legs and was too busy trying to connect with that to notice a wandering hand...

Her belly muscles jumped a little under KTFE's trailing hand, but didn't send out the "OMGTICKLE" warning that they might at any other time. Instead of flailing and shrieking, Agate merely shuddered, too lost in the glom of near-overwhelming sensation. Eyes closed and breath quickened, she seemed to be enjoying herself, at least.

KTFE moved her knee just out of reach, leaving Agate hanging... she was enjoying herself too, but in a different sort of way. Looking up and noticing the blonde's distracted looking face, KTFE slipped back up until she was nose to nose the other girl, purr-growling, "now now, eyes open, it's not naptime." Agate blinked rapidly, but before she could reply, the elemental had captured her lips in her own, drawing the other woman into a very involved kiss.

Once she realized what was going on, Agate responded in force--catching KTFE's tongue-tip and holding it for a moment--before releasing the tongue to whimper slightly.

The elemental's lower hand had been moving down again while Agate was distracted, and now surprisingly, almost-hot fingertips hovered close above their goal. Agate arched her pelvis up to meet those fingers, her eyes fluttering closed again--but this time in faintly frustrated concentration.

Then again, KTFE seemed to have more fun with taunting. She lifted her fingers away in tandem with Agate's arching, instead getting a tooth-hold on the blonde's lower lip, squeezing it gently. "Stay still, kitty," KTFE suggested wickedly, waiting until Agate obliged. In the meantime, she dove back down to find new and interesting ways to make the girl shiver, mouth moving across her neck, those damn fingers moving more slow then ever. They'd wandered back up, and were once again tracing down Agate's pelvis, towards their goal between her legs.

Agate's fingers twitched, and only with great self-control did she refrain from dragging KTFE's fingers to where they ought to be. Grunting her frustration, she held more or less still as little tremors passed all through her arms and legs. "...Evil..." she murmured, though her tone of voice contradicted the word.

"Oh, not even a little bit yet, my dear," KTFE said in what would have been a conversational tone, but for the low timbre. Only when Agate had finally gone still did she proceed... stopping whenever the girl let out the least bit of a squirm.

But finally, finally, while her mouth was once again paying attention to Agate's breast, did her fingers descend... brushing over that first pleasure center briefly before going below, checking to see just how wet Agate had gotten.

The girl let out a breathy moan, pressing up against the seeking fingers in hopes of more... but while KTFE hummed smugly at Agate's response, she pulled her (now pleasantly slimed) fingers back just quickly enough to deny the blonde any sort of satisfaction. "Tsk! Self-control, kitty!" she chided, pressing down on the shivering girl and moving to pin her legs open, not to mention making them relatively immobile. That done, she moved her fingers again, not going in, but rather seeking out the elusive clit for now... and twiddled lightly when she found it, revelling in the hot wetness.

Gasping, moaning again... it was probably a good thing that KTFE had pinned down her legs, or else Agate might have gone and done something silly like try to clamp them around the other woman. As it was, her toes and legs were tensed , and her fingers clutched tightly about the elemental's free hand. Worked up as she was, she wasn't in the state of mind to reply coherently to the woman's chiding. Her response--through light panting--was more of a contained moan. Focusing on the wave of pleasure that deliciously--torturingly--washed up her spine, she was of the opinion that the elemental was far from evil... at the moment, KTFE was being far too good.

In the meantime, still keeping Agate's legs firmly pinned, the elemental finally got down to business. Now she was merely trailing her tongue over the blonde's breasts and neck, her fingers becoming the main focus as she tweaked... slowly... slowly, rubbing in circles over that hot point, alternating fingers and--once or twice--abandoning the clit to move down and plunge for a brief moment, as deeply as she could into Agate. Being the fire elemental that she was, her fingers radiated heat--not enough to be truly uncomfortable, but enough, at least, to titillate! She could feel the girls faint tremors, the eager way in which she followed every little twiddle and met each finger-thrust... leaning precariously over the edge, Agate's eyes had fallen closed again, her brows furrowing slightly, mouth parted just a little to allow for her quickened breath. KTFE backed off, but not so much that Agate couldn't still feel the heat of her fingers just where she wanted them the most. Smirking, the elemental leaned up to nip at Agate's lip, growling just a little under her breath. She was having too much fun... even if she wanted to finish her, it'd be even more fun to hold out longer. "Break time," the red-head taunted.

Breath exploding out in a pathetic, betrayed little wail, (even worse then her kitty-mewls!), Agate wasn't about to accept a break! She reached for the heat of those taunting fingers, back arching feebly, but evoking only a snicker on KTFE's part... at least, at first. She ducked down again and liiiicked slowly up the side of Agate's neck, ending at her ear only to nibble at it mercilessly. "Patience," the elemental crooned, her grin something cheshire as she watched the girl squirm and moan. She waited a few more moments, thoroughly enjoying the teasing, before allowing her fingers to descend again... so slowly.

Agate whimpered again as the elemental eased two fingers in, half in ecstasy as they moved against just the right places, half surprised that all of the tension she'd been building up hadn't drained away with her wait... But no, like a pressing storm-head, she could feel everything boiling back. Surprisingly quickly, Agate found herself back to the point where all she could do was hold her breath... KTFE began to pull out a little, almost threateningly... but Agate squirmed and followed her, and the elemental finally, finally obliged, fingers thrusting deep. She could feel tremors beginning again, but this time, they were accompanied by a low, breathy moan. Agate felt herself teetering right on the edge, and at just that point, her voice broke into something more akin to a squeak.

She came.

Feeling quite suddenly very heavy, Agate relaxed back, sprawling while her body sang in a bath of endorphins. "Hmmm..." hummed she, her tone one of complete satisfaction.

KTFE suppressed a cackle. "Huh," she said, and, after wriggling her fingers in a parting post-sex tease, she withdrew from Agate's satiated body. She sat back, smirking like a cat who's caught a mouse. "Goodness. And here I thought I would be able to tease you a while longer..." Her eyes danced devilishly. "I'll just have to be less direct next time."

But Agate only grinned back... at the moment, everything was too perfect to try for some witty reply. Next time... she'd just have to see about 'next time'...
