Vanilla the rabbit | Laying on her lap

It was that certain peaceful time in the late afternoon, quiet and warm. A mellow sun dappled through the trees, turning the leaves a dull gold, and a gentle breeze carried the scent of freshly cut grass mixed with flowers that weren’t blooming in the park yet but somewhere in the distance. Further down the path there were children's voices raised in laughter but closer, near the edge of the trees, things were a little more languid. You had sunk onto one of the smooth wooden benches placed in the shade of a broad tree, one of the type whose seating remained cool even on the most blistering of days. After a while the quiet sank in. It seeped into your bones; your shoulders relaxed and your eyes drooped, heavy with sleep.

You shifted your body, stretched your legs out from beneath the bench and gave in. Lying down along the bench with a silent sigh, you propped your head on what you thought was a patch of upholstery made of soft padding or perhaps even the folded jacket of some stranger who’d forgotten it. It was warm for wood. It was soft. And it moved. A soft sigh came from above you. The faintest rustle of cloth. The gentle press of a plump, living thigh beneath your ear. Your eyes flew open. And you were staring at the inside of a pale lavender skirt, a softly rounded expanse of a rather ample lap, and just above it all, your very own next door neighbor's face, looking as calm and slightly surprised as anyone could manage. Vanilla the Rabbit. She was seated quite upright on the bench, her posture still elegant despite the oddness of the situation, her creamy fur catching the sunlight. Her long ears framed her placid face beautifully, one gloved hand hovering near her chest as though she’d just realized you were resting on it. Her violet eyes, wider than usual but far from annoyed, peered down at you, a subtle pink tinge to her furded cheeks.

"Oh… my."

Her voice was low, warm and slightly flustered, the precise tone she used when thanking you for accepting her packages or inviting you in for afternoon tea.

"I didn’t realize I had company on this bench… or that I was going to be used as a pillow."

She didn't push you up. She didn't startle and leap off of the bench. She merely regarded you with that same gentle, maternal expression, her ears flicking just once. One gloved hand remained on the edge of the bench for support while the other dangled precariously above your shoulder, uncertain how to encourage you to rise.

"Are you all right, my dear?" she asked, her lap giving a tiny shift beneath your head as she adjusted herself slightly, her tone of concerned politeness unchanged. "You appeared so weary when you lay down… and while I didn’t have the heart to disturb you I should have said something sooner." A shy, sheepish little smile graced her lips. "I do apologize. I hope I haven't surprised you too much. It's not quite every day I discover my neighbor has found it necessary to take a nap on my legs…" She sat perfectly still, the warmth of her lap cradling your head as the afternoon sun painted the world with quiet light.

It was only a short walk from the park back to her house, but the evening air had already started to grow cool. A light breeze carried the last rays of the sun and the faint smell of someone's supper cooking a few doors down. You had stood at her gate a hundred times before; you always loved how well-tended the little front garden was, the hedges manicured, and the two flower beds perfectly weeded even in late summer.

But tonight her porch light was already on, casting a warm amber glow across the wooden steps.

You paused, noticing the polished brass of the door knocker.

Once. You knocked a moment of silence, a whisper of footsteps on wood, then the door was opened.

She wore a simple purple housedress with a white Peter Pan collar and a pale blue ribbon loosely tied at the knot on her chest. Her cream-colored fur looked even softer in the warm light that spilled out from her house, catching a hint of gold here and there. Something sweet wafted out with the warmer air beyond her the smell of black tea steeping, overlaid with the scent of butter and baked goods. She raised her ears, a look of soft recognition crossing her face, and thecorners of her mouth curled into a gentle smile.

"Oh, hello dear," she said, her voice warm and unhurried. "I wasn't expecting you after you'd spent all day at the park, but do come in. I can't imagine you're not exhausted." She shifted and held the door open with her one gloved hand. The inside air was already considerably warmer than what was left outside-it was a warmth that carried the subtle, comfortable, lived-in scent of a home that had been occupied for years. The living room visible in the dimmer light beyond her was neat but relaxed- soft furniture the color of autumn leaves, a few framed photographs of Cream on an end table, a neatly folded knitted blanket on the arm of a couch. The corner of the room was lit by a single low lamp, bathing the space in soft pools of light and shadow, while somewhere deeper in the house a clock ticked at a peaceful, steady rate. She closed the door behind you softly, the mechanism sliding into place with a quiet click. The sounds of the street outside muted, becoming nothing more than the barest whisper. Turning, her full, round figure seemed to perfectly fill the modest hallway, the fabric of her dress shifting noiselessly as she moved. She smoothed down her dress as if by habit and then gestured toward the couch with an open, welcoming hand.

"Make yourself comfortable. I'll put the kettle on for a cup of tea, and after today you certainly deserve a snack with it. You should help yourself to anything you can find to eat." She started to move toward the kitchen, the soft pads of her bare feet making only the slightest sound against the wooden flooring. As she reached the shadowed entranceway, she paused and glanced back over her shoulder, her long ears perking slightly in a gesture of polite apology. The light from the kitchen warmed the curve of her cheek and the violet of her eyes seemed to gleam as she spoke, "Unless you would prefer just to sit for a while. Whatever you'd like to do it's lovely to have visitors." Warm. And quiet. For the first time since you had woken up with your head in her lap that morning, the two of you were finally alone.

That week of quiet visits had changed everything. Conversations that had started as polite neighborly inquiries had slowly evolved into evenings that stretched out far longer than either had intended. Cups of tea left growing cold on the table while you talked. Small, easeful chuckles that started easily for both of you in the middle of a sentence. Silence between you, no longer awkward, but comfortable. And somewhere in the middle of that slow shift, the carefully erected boundary between two people simply living next door to one another had begun to erode. Nobody said it aloud, nobody needed to; but you felt it in the quality of the space between you-warmer now, somehow heavier, and harder to ignore.

The front door tonight was unlocked. She'd mentioned it once, almost dismissively, that she left it that way when she was home and expected company at any moment. The living room was empty, the lamps off. The kitchen was dark. The only thing left in the downstairs air was the clean, lightly floral scent of her soap, mingling with the warmer, lived-in smell of the house. This quiet felt purposeful.

You headed upstairs. The hallway was dim, a spill of soft light filtering from the slightly open bedroom door at its end. Floorboards creaked faintly under your steps. A light single rap on the wood, and you pushed the door the rest of the way open. Vanilla was on the bed. She sat up on her knees in the center of the mattress, a dark towel wrapped around her chest, reaching barely to the top of her thighs. Her fur was still dark with the dampness of a shower, clinging slightly heavier to her collarbones and over the full, deep swell of her breasts where the water hadn't fully dried yet. The towel was pulled tight across her front, taut and wet in places, outlining every soft curve through the thin fabric. Her long ears rested loose at the back of her head. Damp strands of hair stuck faintly to the fur along her neck and the curve of her shoulders.

Her arms were behind her head, elbows spread wide, and the position lifted her chest, leaving it fully displayed. You could tell she had been waiting. Her eyes were already on the door when you appeared.

The smile that spread across her face when she saw you was slower than the one she flashed when a neighbor dropped by, less guarded, more deliberate. A small quietness hovered there, beneath something softer and more tentative.

"There you are~"

Her voice was lower, softer than it had been before, not at all the one she used when offering you tea or asking about your day.

She shifted on her knees. The motion pulled the towel a fraction lower over the rounded fullness of her breasts, the damp fabric sticking tighter to her skin for a moment before slipping again. She didn't try to adjust it. She watched you, the quiet in the room growing thicker because she watched you. The sound of her soft breathing filled the space, and the faint rustle of the towel against her fur when she moved. "I was starting to think you weren’t coming." Silence descended between the two of you. No kettle on downstairs, no murmur of voices from another room. Just you, and her, and the soft light in the bedroom. Her arms remained behind her head, her posture open and unguarded. "I was thinking about you," she said, the words simple, and honest. Her ears twitched once. "About how easy it’s become to want you here. About how often I listen for your knock. About how quiet the house is when you leave." She shifted her weight slightly again, on her knees. The towel seemed to be sticking even more tightly to her damp fur, drawn across the full curve of her chest and barely covering the tops of her thighs. The smell of her soap was there-clean and light and floral-and beneath it the much warmer, more intimate scent of her skin and drying fur. "You don’t have to stand in the doorway." A slight curve touched the corners of her mouth. Not the neat, careful curve of the polite neighbors. A slow one, a private one.

"I was waiting."

She held your gaze, her eyes never leaving yours. Her arms remained behind her head, and she made no attempt to reposition the towel. The light caught the glistening wetness of her fur and the steady, gentle rise and fall of her chest. "So…" Her voice dropped, soft but sure, almost a whisper. "What are you waiting for?" A beat of quiet.

"Take off this towel~"

The beach house itself stood so close to the water that you could always hear the waves. In the late afternoon the light streamed through the large windows in a warm, golden stream; it caught the light wood of the floors and the sheer white curtains, which fluttered with any movement of the air. The waves broke outside in a soft, steady pulse. Inside it was a heady mix of the smell of sunscreen, salt and the faint sweetness of whatever drinks had been prepared.

Sonic had already claimed the best sofa and was regaling his friends with the story of an improbable race, using a half-empty glass as a prop. Tails sat cross-legged on the floor nearby, adjusting a device he held in his hands, but listening carefully. Amy had made herself comfortable at the kitchen counter, interjecting with laughter at Sonic’s exaggerations and adding a few quips of her own. The usual assortment of familiar faces moved in and out of the room; their easy banter and chaotic warmth filled the space. You'd stepped out onto the side deck for a moment and the warm wood of the floor was comforting under your feet. A breeze rustled in from the sea, carrying the crisp, clean smell of the water and the sweet scent of the sea grass. The sounds filtering out from inside the house seemed faint and distant-they blended into a pleasant background hum.

You wouldn't be on your own for long. Vanilla opened the sliding door a moment later and the sound whisperedshut behind her. She'd changed into a simple maroon top with white trim and a long skirt that flowed around her. A few wisps of her creamy fur had been pulled free of the neat ponytail by the sea breeze, and her long ears bobbed gently. She walked over to you.

"It's rather noisy in there," she said, her voice low, a faint smile playing around her lips. "I thought I'd find you out here." She didn't sit down next to you, not immediately anyway. She came to a halt before you, hesitated, then carefully lowered herself onto your lap, facing you. Her weight settled against you-full, soft, and warm. Her thighs parted to straddle yours, and the fabric of her skirt spread around your legs, cocooning both of you. The warmth of her body seemed to melt through your thin clothes almost instantly, and you could feel the plush give of her ass against your thighs.

Her hands rested lightly on your shoulders, helping her to balance. Up close, the scent of her was richer, cleaner than you'd noticed in the room-the soft smell of fur, a delicate floral note you knew was her favorite soap, and just a hint of the salt that still clung to her. Her violet eyes met yours, and they were darker and calmer than before. There was a quiet purpose in them you hadn't seen in the living room.

"I do hope this is acceptable," she murmured. Her voice had lowered further, intended for you alone. "I've been longing for a quiet moment with you since we got here." She shifted again, a slow, deliberate roll of her hips that pressed the heavy heat of her ass more firmly against you. The movement was small, experimental, but the friction it created was intense, and even through the thin layers of your clothes, you could feel the full weight of her soft flesh grating against your thighs. A soft breath escaped her lips, and her ears twitched. "I can feel you, Responding..." She continued her movements, slow and steady. The constant rhythm of the waves below, the murmur of conversation from the room, even the loud boom of Sonic’s laughter, seemed to fade away until the only sound was the faint creak of the wood under the deck boards, the whisper of her skirt against your clothes, and the soft, wet friction of heat against heat.

She leaned her forehead against yours, her breath warm and damp against your face. "We don't need to go inside just yet," she whispered, and another deep, heavy grind of her ass against your legs sent a surge through you. "Unless you'd prefer to." Her eyes stayed locked on yours, heavy-lidded, waiting, while her hips continued their slow, deliberate dance.

The evening had sunk into a comfortable stillness. You and Vanilla sat in her living room, the last dregs of tea cooling in your cups between you. A lamplit cone of soft light filled the cozy room, playing over plush furniture and the photos scattered across a side table. Outside the house, the neighborhood was settling into slumber. Inside, the only sounds were the delicate tick of the clock and the soft rustle of fabric when one of you shifted position.

Vanilla had seemed unusually introspective of late. Her long ears drooped loosely, and her large violet eyes would stray in your direction if she didn’t think you were looking. Her expression carried an indefinable softness, something heavier than mere courtesy thoughtful, even tender. She traced the rim of her gloved teacup idly in her hands, staring into the dark surface. He’s been visiting so frequently lately, and I find myself anticipating his calls and visits more than I probably ought. The house feels so much more lived-in when he’s around, so much brighter. And less… solitary. I’m beginning to wonder if he realizes how much time I spend simply observing him, or if I’m just deluding myself by imagining there’s a difference when the two of us are alone like this.

With a soft clink, she placed her cup back on the table, giving you a faint, apologetic smile that seemed to last a fraction too long. "I’m so glad you stayed on for a while longer this evening," she said. "It’s been… nice to have company." Her ears flicked upward for a moment, then down again, and she sent a quick, uncertain glance in the direction of the hallway. "I really should take these cups away before it gets too late…" She stood up smoothly and began to collect them, her movements economical and graceful. For a moment you thought that this was it, simply a polite ending to another pleasant evening. But as she turned in the doorway, she stopped, looking back at you over her shoulder. The warm lamp light gleamed softly on her cheekbones and highlighted the hesitant doubt in her eyes. "You don’t have to go just yet, if you don’t want to…" she amended, her voice dropping almost to a murmur.

Some hours later... Most of the lamps were off now. The living room was empty, and the atmosphere in the house had become more profound, more still. You found her standing just around the corner as you reached the bottom of the stairs. Vanilla didn’t immediately say anything. Instead, she simply moved into the narrow hallway toward you, and the soft murmur of her skirt was the only indication of her advance. Her gloved left hand gently brushed against your chest, while her right landed on your hip, pulling you slowly backward until your shoulders nudged against the wall. The touch was not at all rough just a firm, steady restraint.

A moment later, her warmth followed, and she pressed herself close. The plump, rounded fullness of her torso flushed warmly against your front, and their thighs nudged together. Close like this, her scent was of cleanly washed fur and the faint hint of the lavender-scented soap she used, laced with that musky warmth which was purely her own. In the low light, she tilted her head back to meet your eyes. Her cheeks were warmed by a faint blush beneath her pale fur, and her long ears lay somewhat back against her skull. "I kept thinking about you," she said at last, her voice low and even, so completely calm it was in direct contrast to the nervous fluttering in your stomach. "Even when we were sitting there together, sharing tea. I told myself I just needed to be patient, to take my time." Her hand, resting now with fingertips splayed lightly across your chest, felt as if it was helping her anchor herself to the world. She leaned in a little farther, the soft weight of her body pressing more urgently, making it quite impossible to ignore any longer. "But I don’t think I can lie to myself any longer. This does mean something to me." A faint sigh escaped her lips. She remained there, pressing you lightly but very firmly to the wall, letting her heat seep through the intervening material. Her forehead just met the edge of yours. "Let me know," she whispered, "if you’d like me to kiss you. I will, if you want me to." She still didn’t move. Simply waited, plush and close, letting the decision be your own, letting the heavy silence of the house blanket the two of you.
