While most of her fluids had managed to get wiped off both Siffo and the library floor, Eri suggested Siffo and her head down to the lake to wash off. Both to clean off, and to cool off in the rather warm weather.

It being summer in the high season, cooling off did seem like quite an alluring proposal. So did getting out of the house after what had happened, and so Siffo had agreed, sneaking off to put on some fresh pants as Eri prepared to head out.

Standing in the doorway waiting as Siffo got done, she had seemingly packed enough for a small adventure as they headed out the door and down towards the lake.

Sun warm on her scales and with a light breeze in the air, the weather outside felt perfect. Not so much as a cloud in the sky and with the rustling of the leaves as the wind blew the tree tops, the ambience of the forest around their estate played like a soft melody.

Seeing Eri a few steps ahead of her, Siffo kept noticing tiny details she had never given much thought before; the way Eri’s tail swung, not like a kobold’s but that of a cat’s, and the slight jingle of her jewellery as she walked with a bounce in her step. Were these things always there? Were these all things she had missed simply from never seeing her in this light? Were these all thoughts she really ought to think?

After all, they were still master and disciple. That hadn't changed with what happened in the library. Had it? No, of course not, how could it? This was all just thoughts rushing through her own disastrous mind.

The sound of water hitting the beach snapped her out of her thoughts. The soft murmur of the water hitting up against the rocks adding to the melody of the breeze.

It was a small and rocky beach, squeezed in between a cliff face and the forest edge, a small campsite and an old ragged pier being among the few things marking the spot. Hidden away from the nearby village and from the view of the house, some privacy could be had here, which they’d had many moments before.

Whenever the little travelling group was home for more than a few days, Eri would try to get everyone down here, light a fire, and for once relax with the safety of home.

This time, being here with her alone felt different. A mixture of the familiarity and comfort of a place well known, mixed with the sensation of exploring new territory. A clashing sensation for sure, though one Siffo was not sure she wanted to confront just yet.

Putting down her backpack, Eri gave a quick glance back at Siffo before starting to shed her gear. That little glance, Siffo was sure she saw a glint in Eri’s eye and as she undressed it was as if she was putting on a show.
Slowly letting her cape slide off her shoulders, letting it drop to the ground. Pulling up her shirt, little by little, revealing more of her pale white scales.

Despite having seen each other nude many times before - such things happened as you travelled together - Siffo had a hard time pulling her gaze.

Unable to tell whether Eri enjoyed the attention or just hadn’t noticed, she stood there staring as more and more of the white dragonborn was revealed from behind those clothes.

Dropping her underwear standing there in nought but her jewellery, she looked over at Siffo once more and with a snicker she said “You going to join me or the water got you too much of a scaredy cat?”

With a smile, she turned towards the pier, ran and jumped into the water.

Not wanting to leave her hanging, Siffo began to swiftly remove her clothes. Top off, tail bags thrown together with Eri’s gear, bindings chaotically untangled. Pants… wet once again.

“Sigh… please don’t let this be a recurring thing from now on.” She whispered under her breath as she threw them on the growing pile of clothes.

Now buck naked she followed Eri’s footsteps running down the pier and leaping into the lake with a cannonball.

The shock of the cool water on her scales felt refreshing as she crashed into the lake, losing her orientation for but a second before making her way back to the surface.

Popping her head back above the water she could see Eri floating around on her back, slowly making her way around in a circle as she used her tail as a rudder.

“There we go, you finally joined me” Eri said as she swam up to Siffo. “You’re the reason we came here after all,” a cheeky smile only ever so slightly showing itself above the water line.

“Suppose we should talk about that, shouldn’t we?” Siffo could feel her face warming as her blush grew.

“Only if you want to” Eri’s tone changed from the more teasing tone she had moments before, now seemingly deeper in thought.

“I- I think I do” Siffo said, realising just how nervous she sounded.

“I know you found my stashed away books, though honestly, I would have told you had the subject ever come up. I know I found you in the library, but not going to lie, odds were just as likely our roles could have been reversed.

It’s been an interesting day for sure, but I wouldn't say what happened soured it in any way.”

Eri rolled over, swimming in closer as she looked into Siffo’s eyes. Her face grew even redder as Eris quite piercing amber eyes gazed into her.

“That all said, looking into your eyes I take it that’s not quite fully what you wanted to talk about.”

Looking back into her eyes for but a moment before averting her gaze, it felt as though Eri could see straight through her. As if she could already see that bundled-up crush Siffo had found only a few hours ago. There’s no way she couldn’t see it, so why won’t she say it herself? Out of the two of them, she was the strong and confident one. This suspense was driving Siffo crazy. She had to say something.

“I… sigh… I think I have a crush on you. A crush? Is that even the right word for it? I don’t know but… “

Siffo went silent for a second

“In the library, I was reading of a lowly traveller and the Heroic knight in shining armour that saved them. Wishing for the life of me, that I had someone like that. Getting lost in the thought, I imagined just what my own shining knight would be like.

And then suddenly, there you were.

It felt as if something clicked into place, realizing that what I was dreaming of was right there in front of me.”

Breathing out for a second, Siffo looked back into Eri’s eyes. Instead of finding judgement she had gotten with others so many times before, Eri’s eyes were filled with curiosity. A giddy excitement seemingly flowing throughout her body.

“Well I, hehe~” Eri now turning red like a ripening strawberry. She looked away for a moment and with a stammer to her voice said, “I supposed I should come clean with my feelings as well then.”

Hand to her mouth as if trying to hide her blushing face, she nervously spoke “Ever since we met in that holding cell in Drurienesa I’ve felt something might be there between us, and with our travels, those feelings have only grown stronger. Fearing what might come of them, I’ve tried to suppress them. Feeling that with our self-imposed roles as mistress and disciple, it’d be wrong for me to act on those emotions. Though in all truth I’ve wanted to break through that barrier for as long as I’ve been holding it up, and today with our moment in the library that barrier was outright shattered”

Getting on the same eye level as her, Siffo could feel her heart flutter as Eri spoke softly enough for it to be a whisper. “So if you’d indulge me, seeing just where these feelings take us would make me a very happy woman”

Without a moment of hesitation, Siffo kissed Eri on the mouth, jumping into her embrace as Eri swept her up in a fell swoop. The water swirled around them in a beautiful pattern as they kissed in their embrace.

Siffo’s mind was going off like fireworks as Eri moved her hands across her body, her gentle yet firm grip holding Siffo close to her chest. Eris fingers were exploring her every inch, sliding along her scales as if drawing an intricate pattern to compliment her form.

Her own hands held Eri’s face as their kisses turned into making out, the mild taste was a soothing one as their tongues intermingled. Siffo’s hands explored down Eri’s neck, feeling her smooth scales and the strength of her muscles hiding beneath.

Siffo pulled away to let out a moan as a hand groped her ass, nestling her head into Eri’s neck as she pulled her closer. One hand began stroking onto her tail as the fingers of the other explored deeper.

The grip on her tail sent shivers up her spine as Eri’s other hand explored past her ass, her fingers reaching in and playing with her pussy.

After a moment of Eri’s play she pulled her hands away, causing a tiny“noo~” to be uttered from the small kobold. With a slight snicker from Eri in response, she flipped Siffo over, setting her feet down in the shallow water closer to the pier.

Pressing Siffo against her chest, Eri slides her hand down her belly, stopping just short of touching her where she wanted it most.

“Is this where you want me?” she whispered into Siffo’s ear, teasing her as her hand massaged her pelvis, inching closer and closer with every move.

“Yes! Take me!~ ♥” Siffo exclaimed, thrusting her hips forward into Eri’s hand, grabbing her arm and pulling her close.

Indulging her newfound lover, she moved her fingers down, massaging the petite dragon as every inch of her body begged for more. Wet enough to rival the water she stood in, Eri slid into her with ease as she graced the pale kobold’s insides, her mind set ablaze with pleasure.

The rhythmic massaging of Eri’s hand moved in tune with the ripples around them. The cute sounds from Siffo nearing her brink were mingling with the ambient sound of the lake as her pleasure grew, forming into a melody Eri would not soon forget.

Siffo, getting closer, could feel it overflowing as her hips thrust her into Eri’s caring hand. A jet formed between Eri’s fingers as she climaxed, her hips shook violently as her body stiffened up before falling limp into Eri’s arms.

Her heavy panting and bright red face left Eri pleased as she lifted the exhausted kobold into her arms, carrying her to the pier.

Setting her down on the ragged planks, her legs still shaking, she gives off an exhausted smile. Clenching up for a second, another small spurt shoots out, only narrowly missing Eri’s face.

“A-haah fuck, t-think I’m still cumming~ hah”

“Guess I did a good job then~” Eri responds with a wink and a smile.

“Y-yes, that was amazing, you did amazing” Siffo responded, seemingly still having a hard time putting her words in order.

Leaning in, she kisses Eri on the forehead. “Now if only my legs would stop shaking so I could return the favour. Wouldn’t want to leave my beautiful mistress hanging~”

With a slight chuckle, Eri looks up at Siffo, a devious look in her eyes.

“Oh, you need not worry about me for now” Eri noted, playfully lapping at Siffo’s juices still stringing between her fingers. “Just promise me this-” She moved in closer, snouts barely millimetres apart. “- you’ll join me in my bed tonight”

A smile growing stronger across Siffo’s face, she responded softly. “There is nothing I’d want to do more than to share a bed with my very own-”

“- knight in shining armour”
