- Stella's POV -
' Finally ! '
Being summoned back to the reality where her handsome master lived, while it felt like time had stopped for her during the time she was transformed back into a card, she knew that time kept ticking in the real world.
Afraid at first that her master wouldn't keep his words and summon her in the morning, like he already did, seeing the dim light inside the room and how the both of them were standing still and properly dressed, she quickly realized that her worries were for nothing.
" Master, did you eat already ? "
Her words were as quick as her thoughts, showing a transparency that wouldn't be exposed to anyone else but him, as he was the only one who would receive the love from her, a maiden who felt like she had been struck by love the moment her eyes met his.
" Not yet, I wanted to enjoy a great view while eating, so I called the both of you back. "
A great view ? Did he mean that she is pretty ?
The heart of a young maiden was obviously delighted by such a compliment, especially as her master wasn't cheap with them, giving them really rarely, just like his proof of affection, which she wished for more but understood that she couldn't just ask for them as it wouldn't feel the same.
-..
But to her master's words, her long ears, heard a subtle sound coming from her left side, where the wolf girl, another card and part of the power of the man she loved, stood.
The rustling sound of clothes being frotted against each other, it wasn't something that would be heard in a room without air flowing through unless one moved.
Yet, that perfect maid, which wouldn't move in any situation unless if asked for it, actually showed a reaction to his words, albeit subtle... So how could she not be curious over it ?
Turning her head to the one who could be called her big sister by the words of her master, as she was the first card summoned and her the second, while also being younger than her, she easily noticed the blushing on her face, something she didn't see often, besides when their master would tease her.
" Mariane, it'll be a good opportunity for you to get used to it beforehand, and Stella can also join and do it as well. "
" Do it as well ? Do what ? "
" You can ask her about it, I'll leave first so you girls can get ready before I come back. "
Receiving that kind of answer from her master, she could only pout, but besides patting her head, which like snow under the sun, melted her light annoyance away, he really left the room and closed the door behind him, leaving them both alone with each other for the first time.
" ... Soooo, do you know what he meant-.. ? "
Trying to break the ice was the first instinct of the girl with black hair, but her question wasn't answered with words, but by actions.
Looking at the girl which could be considered her natural predator if in the wild, she was greatly surprised by what she was seeing at the moment.
The maid, usually showing proper demeanor around everyone, had already removed her shoes and was now lowering her long stockings, exposing her white and immaculate legs even with her being here.
' Does our master have a thing for legs ?.. '
Thinking of such blasphemy, she quickly removed the thought of her mind, but as a member of the shadow rabbit tribe, she obviously took great care of her legs, and if that was the case..
Showing a smile on her lips, she couldn't stop from imagining her master praising her legs, especially his fingers slowly caressing them and making their way up on her body, which got her pride higher along with her imagination... But rather quickly, it stopped.
Not because she calmed herself or that she realized that her thoughts were going somewhere wrong, instead, it was because the woman next to her wasn't done with her preparations.
The sound of clothes moving around was constant, and her eyes, which assisted at the scene, couldn't be drawn somewhere else as the wolfkin exposed more of her skin.
Her slender body showed curves that wouldn't be exposed under the dress of a maid, enough to make her both envious and consider if she was even enough to please her master, showing a hint of being oppressed by such a view.
The more the woman exposed herself, the more she became entranced into her perfect body, not as in being excited sexually by it, but as if discovering a glimpse of what perfection could be, as she started wishing to have been able to show such curves on herself as well.
Finally, standing in her underwears only, it appeared that she couldn't took her stare anymore as Mariane turned herself to face her, an amount of shyness being exposed by the red on her cheeks, but maintaining serious eyes as she spoke in a low tone.
" .. You should get undressed too... Before he comes back.. "
Of course, she knew who that ' he ' was, but was that what her master wanted to see while eating ?
After having observed the body of the woman in front of her, she could somewhat understand him, but how could she compare to her in any way ? Would she even receive the eyes of her master ?
Such a fear made it's way to her throat, and for the first time, she wasn't able to speak her mind, but as if her expressions were obvious to the maid, words that she never expected to hear from her were said.
" .. Master is kind, and he will surely look at you as well... And to be honest, I'm affraid that one day, he'll start looking at other girls the same way he look at me, so that's why I will always do my best for him.. But if you're not ready to do the same, then, as your big sister, I will stop you from even getting close to him. "
That voice showed a mix of emotions, that even with her enhanced hearing, she couldn't comprehend them all, but the seriousness in it, she really recognized it, and while she didn't know how Mariane could be affraid of such a thing with a body like hers, she didn't dare to suspect those words as she even showed sympathy towards her, a rival in love.
" ... I understand, then I'll have to do my best for master too.. ! "
Trying to motivate herself and not give her weakness another chance to grow up on her, she decided to stand her ground against the perfect Mariane as she quickly removed one clothes after the other.
Imitating the maid, she then neatly folded the removed clothes at her feet, and let them on the ground while receiving the stare of another girl on her body.
" P-please, don't stare too much.. "
Still feeling a lot of pressure from the unfair rivalry, even more with the both of them being in such a state where they could clearly see the values of each other's feminine perks, Stella hid her small breast behind her hands as she felt her cheeks heating up more than ever.
" .. You were looking at me earlier too. "
Under the shameless response, she couldn't even complain about her behavior anymore since it was true, yet, she was still embarassed by being looked at that way, even by another woman and not a man.
" ... Also.. we have to remove it... "
Her voice, growing smaller as she kept explaining, still couldn't escape her long bunny ears, and when she thought she heard it wrong for a moment, Mariane's hand, who didn't bother to hide her body as it would be impossible, then grabbed her own underwear.
" ....- "
Swallowing her saliva at the realization of what she meant, she wanted for her master to be here and confirm those words so she wouldn't have to follow the wolf woman blindly, but with no choice but to obey, she also had to lower her own panties.
' I.. won't get punished for that, right ? Even Mariane did it... '
Trying to reassure herself, her body slowly reacted at the thought of being seen in her birthday clothes by her master, a reaction that quickly builded her own excitement.
With curiosity, she then peeked a glance over the maid, just to see if she was showing the same kind of ' symptoms ' as she did, and surely, she could see it, those tight and pink lips, bigger than hers, showing traces of her wetness.
' S-she's the same as me.. '
Feeling comfort in such a situation from this common point alone, she now just needed to wait for her master's return and for him to admire her body, while trying to ignore the stare of Mariane which hesitantly gauged her reaction as well.
