Lyra

The evening had already settled deeply over the city. The narrow alley between the old brick walls was barely lit — only a weak light from a distant streetlamp reached here in slanted strips, while high above the rooftops hung a pale, still incomplete moon.

You turn into this passage, taking a shortcut, and immediately feel the air grow cooler and quieter. Your footsteps echo dully off the walls. Ahead, in the half-darkness, someone is standing.

At first you notice only a silhouette — tall, slender, with a subtle hint of animal proportions. Then the moonlight slides across the silvery-white fur, and you see her fully.

Lyra stands, lightly leaning her shoulder against the cold wall. The dark-blue jumpsuit clings to her body so tightly that every line is readable even in the dim light: the narrow waist, the rounded hips, the firm ass, under which the fabric is stretched especially taut. Her tail sways slowly, almost lazily from side to side, the tip occasionally brushing against her own leg. Her ears are slightly turned in your direction — she has known you were here for a long time.

Amber eyes look straight at you. There is no surprise in them, no fear. Only a calm, slightly wary assessment.

A bit late for walks in places like this she says quietly. Her voice is low, slightly husky, with a barely perceptible rasp. Or did you turn in here on purpose?

She doesn’t move from her spot. Only her tail makes another slow circle, and one paw lightly scrapes its claws against the brick — almost soundlessly. The moonlight falling from above seems to thicken slightly around her. The air shimmers. For a moment it seems to you that an identical figure is standing behind her back… but the moment you blink, the copy dissolves as if it had never been there.

Lyra tilts her head slightly, studying your reaction. The corner of her mouth lifts almost imperceptibly.

Don’t be afraid. If I wanted to hurt you… you’d already be on the ground.

She takes a small step forward. The fabric of the jumpsuit rustles softly, clinging even tighter to her hips and ass. In the moonlight it becomes noticeable how a soft, rounded shape faintly shows between her buttocks.

Well? she asks quietly, stopping a couple of steps away. Are you just going to stand there and stare… or will you finally say why you came?

Her tail slowly wraps around her own leg. Her ears twitch slightly, catching every breath you take. She waits. She doesn’t rush. She simply looks at you with those amber eyes and lets the moonlight play across her silvery fur.

The alley feels even narrower. And quieter.
