Year 3 – Shift 2 – Good Harlot – Mora

“Round two tonight?” Big Dick Dave followed Mora out his apartment door into the Etokuso quads.

Mora stopped just outside, leaned in and planted a kiss on his lips. “Mmmm. I wish. But I’m doing dinner with Chino and six of his friends. He’s got some RP thing he wants to do. Oh, then there’s the Sara and Raven have been missing a whole week meeting.”

“Another time, then.” Big Dick Dave kissed her on top of her head and released the embrace. “Just remember to miss the apples.”

Mora chuckled and gave him a weak slug to the shoulder as she walked into the cool fall Etokuso day. “You got it, teddy bear.”

“See you at NBZ!” He called to her from behind.

Mora chuckled as she skipped through the fewlip, peeonme, and gaysie field while taking in the smells of the Jeff’s Diarrhea Burrito and its line wrapped into the next quad, and her and Muffy’s favorite little place Matcha Gonna Do? sat right on the corner next to Danny Trejo’s Orchiectomies and Onion Rings. Sitting at the table just outside was the woman that took her breath away sitting at the table, her hair pulled back in a loose bun and held together with two chopsticks. Pure elation floated her the rest of the way. She stood, smiled the smile you only get when you’re coming home, and opened her arms.

“Momo.” Her voice was honey as Mora fell into her arms and eroded into her over the eons she lived inside the embrace.

Mora didn’t pull back and her chest started to flutter. “I always love feeling my heart beat into yours.”

Muffin wrapped her arms around her and pulled her in closer. “We’ve been together two years and still it beats as fast as mine does every time you’re near.”

They held the embrace for a moment too little before they sat at their patio table to drinks Muffin had already ordered.

“So…” Muffin beamed and raised an eyebrow. “How was it?”

Mora blushed immediately. “Muffy, he was so good. Oh my gash. I don’t even know where to start. What about Chadwick?”

“Girl.” Muffin waved a hand in her face like a fan. “Chaddy Daddy is amazing, but his brother Madwick? Let’s just say he don’t need a Vapehammer.”

“Like Chino?” Mora tested.

“Oh. No.” Muffin shook her head and sipped her matcha. “Chinos like two Shafted in one, girl.”

Mora’s eyes widened and a smile slowly spread across her lips. “I think I’m gonna be a happy girl, tonight.”

Muffin raised an eyebrow and a slow playful smile curled her lips up. “Oh, yeah you are.”

Mora let the giddy flies flit around for a few more seconds in her chest before she shook free of her euphoria. “So, we got the scouting mission done. You’ll never fucking believe what we found!”

“What was it?” Muffin took a sip of her tea.

“So, when we got there, it was, like, totally loud as hell because of all the armadildos meowing and coughing.” Mora turned off the filter like she could only with Muffy. “And then, Wynter’s like ‘bitch better have my money,’ and then I’m like ‘oh you know she doesn’t’ and then Tallywhacker was like ‘I’m gonna fuck your girlfriend’ and Wynter was like ‘BLAM’ right to the dome, and then Bukkakelyn…that…I hate her.”

Mora took a breath and thought about all Bukkakelyn represented and tried to hold the tears in.

“I know you do, my love.” Muffin reached across the table and grabbed Mora’s frantic, tapping hand and squeezed it softly. “You’re home. You’re safe. I have you now.”

Mora felt the flood of electricity from her touch all this time later and let it ground her. She let out a deep sigh. “I’m sorry. I just babble sometimes. I know. I hate it.”

“I love it.” Muffy leaned in and pulled Mora’s hand to her heart. “Every thought is yours. Every word is sacred. I want them all.”

Mora blushed and tried to fight back the tears. She took a deep breath and counted to ten and let it out. “Wynter is so cool.”

She sat back in her seat and took the beer in front of her and tipped it up and chugged the whole tall boy and slammed it down.

BURRRRRRRRRRRRRP!

“Oh my,” Muffin giggled. “Big girl energy today.”

Mora looked down, furrowed her brow and deflated. “I’m scared, Muffykins.” She pulled her feet up on the chair and put her arm around her knees. “Really scared.”

Muffin got up and pulled her chair next to Mora’s and pulled her in. “I know, Momo. But they can’t get you here now. They’ve run so many tests and no one can be moved from a zone without their consent.”

“No…” She softened to a squeak. “I…I can kill him. Easy. But I don’t know if I can talk to him. He’s already erased me.”

“Then who is in my arms?” Muffin responded.

“Nobody.” Mora peeped.

Muffin leaned in and put her forehead to the side of Mora’s. “Then I love Nobody.”

“Must be easy.” Mora chuckled.

“Not as easy as my girlfriend.” Muffin teased.

Mora pulled back and broke into a laugh. “Only because I have such a generous dom.”

“The more, the merrier.” Muffin sat back and looked at the time. “You gotta get to the briefing. You have a mission coming up, don’t you?”

“Yeah!” Mora lit up. “I get to work with Chaddy Daddy and start the integration of the Kuzu! I’m really excited to learn!”

Muffin’s lip curled up into a radiant smile. “I know you are, my little bookworm. But you better go and see Kay-Kay before you go. She’s been feeling really down and will only talk to her mommy.”

Mora hopped to her feet and leaned down and planted a tiny peck on Muffy’s cheek. “Cya soon Muffy Muff! I love you!”

Mora got up and walked through the other exit into the main square. She stood and watched all the people walking and talking and living for a moment before heading toward their home on restaurant row. There were restaurants everywhere in Etokuso, but this street had the largest density. And, of course, Kay-Kay insisted they live right in the middle of it.  She passed by and came to their pink door nestled between Dick’s Dognuts and Fallopian Falafel and Fungi.

She entered and took her boots off in the entry, as was custom in Etokuso and was welcomed to the sound of little feet and giggling upstairs. She bloomed. She climbed the stairs in a flash then came to a creep as she tiptoed and peeked in the bathroom.

“Where’s my Kay-Kay?” Her maternal brain clicked into place. “Mommy’s home.”

She listened for a moment.

A giggle came from the back room. Mora smiled. She crept slowly to the office and peeked in. “Boo!”

Giggle.

Mora’s heart suffused with her essence.

“Mommy’s coming,” Mora approached the closed door and there were no more giggles. Only heat. She could feel it from here. “Ready or not. Here I come.”

She opened the door and saw just their bed in the middle of the room and no sign of her little one. She saw the closet door slightly open and smiled. She took a single step inside the door and suddenly the gnat she failed to notice turned into a dive bombing girlfriend. She landed perfectly on Mora’s chest, pinning her down with her knees.

She leaned down and put her hands on the ground above Mora’s head and started shaking her ass. “Eat me, Mommy.”

Mora took an extra long moment to live in her scent before she snapped out of it. “Let mommy up, princess. We need to talk.”

She immediately rolled off and she sat on her haunches leaning forward and resting her chin in her hands, elbows on the bed. “Boo.”

Mora sat up and faced her. “Mommy has to go on a mission, baby. I shouldn't be gone for long. Three days maybe.”

Kay-Kay didn’t move for a minute then she pushed herself up and folded her arms over her chest and pouted in Japanese. “The only time we have together is playtime. I want fun time.”

Mora’s heart swelled for her girl as she’d become fluent as well. “I know, little one. After we integrate the Kuzu, I have a whole lot of time and I promise you will get all the mommy time you can handle.”

She reached over and booped Kay-Kay on the nose and gave her a soft smile.

The boop was all it took. Depressing her adorable button caused a collision of Kaori’s passion and Mora’s inability to escape a hug that big. “Yayyyyyyy! Mommy time! Please be careful, mommy! Come back to Kay-Kay in fewer than four pieces, please!”

Mora leaned in and kissed her on top of the head and smiled. “I’ll aim for two, sweetheart. Mommy loves you. Be good for Muffy.”

She wiggled her wittle nose and squeaked. “I will, mommy!”
