"I don't understand you," Billy was looking at her with round eyes. How did it happen so quickly? Why did things change so unexpectedly? Nineteen-year-old Nina, who all her life behaved like a child, stood in front of the witch in her panties, languidly heaving her appetizing breasts. Billy often dreamed about her first time with Nina, but it was somehow not quite right. The young witch hoped that when she realized that Nina was also a lesbian, she would certainly start courting her. Even if it took a hundred years, she would gain her affections. She dreamed of at least a crumb of sapphic hope, instead she received a hot lesbian pie on a platter. "Why now, Nina?"

"Because you're ready now."

"Stop talking with your shifter's riddles! I was always ready to be yours!" Billy cries out vigorously, clenching her fists.

"Even when you were kissing that redhead girl in the dressing room? You liked putting your tongue into her mouth!" Nina threw her long hair back, though her gaze and posture were still submissive.

"Did you follow me?" gasped Billy.

"Of course, I did," Nina lowered her eyes. "I missed you very much. I was restless when you left for school. I spent the whole day moving from one place to another, and I just had to talk to you. It was always like that: in your bedroom or here at Astrid's, I kept and kept on waiting for you to come." She went to the bed and sat down next to the dumbfounded witch. "I missed you very much, but I understood that they are humans, and I am not a human. I don't always think the way you think, and I don't always behave the way you do. I'm different."

"You are better than all these pathetic humans put together!" Billy grabbed her by the shoulders, shaking her a little. Nina's boobies swayed nicely. Billy took her eyes away from the magnificent view. "So why didn't you say this before?"

Nina lay flat out on the bed, "I didn't want to upset you. Knowing you, you would have stopped going to school or, probably, start dragging me around like a rat in your pocket..."

"Like a rat in my pocket?!" Billy burst out laughing, imagining how the unfortunate squirrel was really being shoved into her pocket or schoolbag.

She lay down next to her, constantly rubbing her gums with the piercing in her tongue, but this did not calm her down.

Nina gently touched her upper lip. Billy shuddered.

"Why do you need so much paint on your lips?"

"You know perfectly well why. This is a lipstick, don't pretend to be a village idiot again," the witch snorted.

"You didn't get me. You're going to dirty me. It smells like Astrid."

"Damn. I'm sorry. I'll wash it off now."

"Leave it. I don't want you to go away, even for a minute." Nina put her arms on the pillow and closed her eyes exposing herself to Billy. Her cheeks were covered with a bashful blush.

"You saw me kissing the girl, but you stayed with me..."

"Your heart wasn't beating that quickly when you were with her as it is beating when you are with me now; your body was not emitting such an intoxicating aroma as it's emitting now..."

Billy covered her mouth with hers. She was ashamed of that meaningless kiss and a couple of hugs two years ago with another girl; she wanted to please Nina so that she would forgive her, although, the squirrel shifter didn't show that she was angry. Stupid sexy squirrel! Billy was ready to die for her.

Covering her body with kisses and listening to Nina's moans, Billy began to calm down a little, slowly dissolving into her beloved.

"Your body is so beautiful..." That was the first time she told her those words. The witch was slowly moving her hand towards Nina's bosom.

Shifter's red eyelashes fluttered open; Billy's body was in a flutter of expectation and excitement.

"What is beauty?" Nina asked unexpectedly in between the moans.

Billy stopped moving. She was perplexed. Nina always made her puzzled and surprised. Squirrel girl wasn't trying to show cheap philosophy or cloying glamor, on the contrary, she genuinely wanted to know.

"Why are you like this?" Billy asked, licking her lips. "Don't you know it yourself?"

Nina shrugged her shoulders and kissed Billy's moon tattoo, then she did the same with the sun, "They still smell ink." Another kiss on the mouth lasted a little longer than Billy thought it would. "I don't understand the concept of beauty..."

"Okay, professor, only a week ago you were watching a cartoon with Sarha about a blue cat, and now you are talking about concepts?" Billy captured Nina's body between hers and a soft floral blanket that resembled Botticelli's painting.

"I'm not that stupid as you might think."

"I never consider you stupid. On the contrary, you are smarter and foxier than any people I know. It's just hard to understand you sometimes."

"It's hard to understand you too, but I love this feeling. And you are right, I almost became a fox when I had a chance, but I changed my mind." Nina wrapped her long legs around Billy's waist.

"What? You never told me about it. Can shifters choose their animals?"

"Yes, yes! We can... when in mother's womb."

"Do you remember being in the womb? Amazing..." Billy was so stunned she almost forgot about Nina's nakedness and proximity.

Nina nodded, stealing another kiss from Billy's parted lips. Her nice pink nipples touched Billy's soft breasts making her inhale through the clenched teeth.

"So, what is beauty, Billy?"
