The Spider Queen

(Alpha Star System- Planet Gaia)

(Peterlor Estate- Sophie's bedroom)

Knock! Knock!

Sophie loudly rapped her knuckles against the metalloid door that led to her bedchamber. She waited for a moment until she heard a soft voice calling out from the other side.

The hybrid girl pressed her finger against the scanner and soon the metalloid door swung open to reveal the inside of her bedroom.

Cleo was sitting up against the headboard and lazily playing with her curly hair that spilled down her shoulders.

The princess had changed out of her expensive black dress and now wore a simple pair of pink pajamas.

Sophie swallowed nervously as the top of Cleo's pajamas would occasionally rise up to reveal the fair skin that lay beneath.

"Calm down… calm down… calm down…" Sophie kept muttering those two words like a spell.

She tried her best to plaster a nonchalant smile across her face as she walked into the room while holding a tray with two cups placed securely on the center.

There was a faint whitish mist rising up from the inside of each cup as the contents were piping hot.

"I popped down to the kitchen and got us two cups of hot chocolate. I remembered that you love those little white marshmallows so I made sure to put in some," Sophie spoke gently.

She carefully moved towards the bed and placed the tray down on the dresser table next to the mattress.

"Thank you Sophie… How did things go with Moon? Did he cause you any trouble?" Cleo asked with a quiet smile.

Well… he was a bit of a handful….

Actually, at one point, Sophie did not know whether her anxious frostwing bat would let her go peacefully back to her bedroom.

Sophie thought about what to say for a moment and then replied slowly,

"Well… he was very clingy but I did manage to read him a bedtime story and then he fell asleep. I think he was tired from flying up and down the mansion basically the entire afternoon."

"He was very excited to see his mommy again," Cleo teased as she reached for the nearest cup.

"Yeah I was pretty happy to see him… I mean… I was happy to see the both of you… god… sorry I'm fucking up what I'm trying to say," Sophie stammered as she spoke.

Cleo's laughter filled the room and a blush spread across Sophie's face as she saw the mischievous twinkle in her girlfriend's eyes.

She had missed these quiet moments. She had missed her Cleo.

Sophie picked up the remaining cup on the tray and brought the mug to her lips.

The rich chocolatey aroma filled her nostrils and reminded her of winter nights spent curled up near the fireplace.

There was no need to worry about burning her tongue but out of habit Sophie still blew twice across the hot surface.

She sipped peacefully as the atmosphere inside the bedroom fell into a comfortable silence.

Sophie finished about half of the liquid inside the cup before placing the mug back on the tray.

Cleo was still taking delicate sips so Sophie took a moment to observe the new furnishings inside her bedroom.

Sophie glanced at the brand-new paintings and flowerpots that were placed around her room.

After her mental breakdown, there were quite a bit of furniture that had to be either repaired or replaced.

The mirror placed above the desk on the other side of the room was one of those items.

Still even as Sophie's gaze fell on the various items placed around the room, her eyes would inevitably wander back to her sweet girlfriend.

"Is there something on my face?" Cleo asked with a raised eyebrow. Sophie chuckled lightly and leaned forward to press a soft kiss against her lips.

The sweet taste of chocolate made the kiss even more delicious and the dim lighting in the room caused the comfortable atmosphere to soon turn ambiguous.

Sophie gently grabbed the cup from Cleo's hands and placed it on the tray next to her own mug.

Thump! Thump! Thump!

Sophie could hear the rapid beating of her heart as her hands began to touch various parts of Cleo's body.

She lightly teased and played with her girlfriend's slender waist before pressing kiss after kiss against her neck.

"Baby… I missed you… every single day… I missed you," Sophie hoarsely growled as she rubbed her thumb over Cleo's wet plump lips.

"Tell me how much you love me… tell me how much you need this… beg me…"

"Ahh… don't…" Cleo softly moaned as Sophie's fingers gently stroked and touched the underside of her breasts.

Sophie's golden eyes shone eerily and faint traces of pink could already be seen slowly creeping along the edges of her eyes.

There was a loud voice screaming inside Sophie's mind…

Do it… make her yours…. make her scream in ecstasy….

Sophie's head began to fill with images of Cleo's naked body that was hidden behind those flimsy pajamas.

Sophie felt as though her body was on fire, her girlfriend's skin was soft as silk and those quiet moans made her legs tremble in anticipation.

She squeezed those lovely plump mountains through the pajamas and furiously played with those delicate nipples.

"Please… please… I… can't…I…" Cleo protested but her voice got gradually softer and softer as it was replaced by a melody of gasps and moans.

The soft mewing noises that Cleo made as she desperately tried not to give in to the pleasure was driving Sophie insane.

Sophie reached out with her right hand to tear apart Cleo's upper shirt when her fingers stopped mere centimeters away from the fabric.

Something was wrong…

"Sophie?" Cleo asked curiously as she opened her eyes to see a cautious expression on her girlfriend's face.

"Do you want this?" Sophie asked hesitantly while her fingers trembled.

She hadn't noticed it before in her state of lust but now that she took a moment to pause…

It was impossible not to observe the dark circles under Cleo's eyes or the aura of exhaustion surrounding her body.

Her girlfriend had not properly slept for days and it was obvious that she was tired after a long spaceflight.

Sophie felt disgusted and ashamed of herself. Here she was trying to start a night of intimacy without caring for Cleo's well-being.

The princess needed rest.

"One… two… three… four… five… six…" Sophie counted quietly until her mood eventually calmed down.

The faint pinkish mist that was beginning to spread from the corners of Sophie's golden eyes gradually vanished as the hybrid girl took in a few deep breaths and then exhaled.

Cleo was not a sex toy…. she was one of the most important people in her life.

Sophie refused to let her Arachnais nature turn this relationship into one of only lust.

"Of course… I want…" Cleo quickly retorted but couldn't stop yawning in the middle of her reply.

That yawn was enough to confirm Sophie's suspicions. Her girlfriend was not physically ready for an intense night of passion.

"No.. I can… I don't want your urges to go out of control…" Cleo spoke guilty.

"For that reason alone, I am not going to do anything tonight," Sophie replied with a serious expression.

"I want to be intimate with you because I want it and you want it as well. You should never feel obligated to sleep with me just because of my urges."

Sophie smiled gently and grabbed her girlfriend's hand. She leaned in closer and whispered softly in her ear,

"Right now… I want you to rest and have a good night's sleep. Trust me… as soon as you get better… I will do anything you desire…"

Sophie reached for the light switch and soon the room was plunged into darkness. She carefully wrapped her arms around Cleo's soft body and kissed the top of her head.

"I love you. I've said it a million times but I will say it again… I love you," Sophie spoke warmly.

"I love you too," Cleo replied. Sophie's golden eyes could easily see in the pitch-black darkness and she saw the affectionate expression on her girlfriend's face.

"Hey… Sophie…"

"Yeah?"

"Thanks for caring about me."
