Chapter 180 [Bonus Chapter] The Burning Heat

"Sheesh. I hope that she doesn't tell them and has it reversed on me. That would be cheating and void the deal we made," I said, but Eliza and Chili shook their heads.

"There is no way Senna would do that. She always plays by the rules. She loves these kinds of games, even if she acts like she doesn't. Before she was captain, she used to play pranks on all the girls. They would try to get her back, but they would just end up getting pranked while trying to get her. Senna made it as captain because she is extremely resourceful," Eliza explained.

"Senna is the best at all games. We play board games sometimes with her, but she always wins! Even if it is with dice! It is like she knows the perfect way to do everything to get the best results!" Chili said, looking only slightly bitter about it.

"Really? A prankster? This just made the game so much more interesting! I am a very big fan of pranks and mischief, so maybe I will have to start a little battle with her. Get on an even playing field with her!" I laughed, and the girls both looked at each other and shook their heads. "What?!"

"You just don't know how to quit when you are behind. Yes, I think that you should do this. I do love to laugh, don't you, Chili?" Eliza asked, looking at Chili with a mischievous smile that the cat girl returned.

"Yes! I think this will be funny. I think Galio has the advantage, but Senna is not one to be discounted so easily! I think that it will be an epic match-up! God vs. Girl! Who will win?!" Chili said in an announcer's voice, and I rolled my eyes, but I couldn't lie and say I wasn't excited.

"We will leave you so you can say goodnight to Skylar," Eliza said, hugging her arms around my neck and pulling me into a short but passionate kiss.

After that, Chili pounced on me and into my arms, peppering me with kisses before wiggling free.

"Goodnight, Galio!" Both girls called as they ran back towards the kitchen, rounding the corner and disappearing from sight.

I smiled to myself and walked up to Skylar's door, knocking on it.

"Come in, Galio," Skylar said from the other side just loud enough for me to hear.

I opened the door to find Skylar sitting up in bed with a book. It was open on her lap now, so I couldn't see the title.

"You look much more interesting than I could have imagined, even with other descriptions of you from the Vine," Skylar said shyly and then quickly looked down, her green cheeks getting purple.

I walked over to the bed and sat down on the side of it, flipping my tail around to land in Skylar's face, but she caught it and hugged it to her face, making cute moaning sounds.

Only her blue, extremely curly pigtails were sticking out, so I took a gamble and slowly reached forward. When my fingers slipped into the silky smooth curls, Skylar froze, and so did I.

"I am sorry, I just really wanted to feel your hair," I explained, and Skylar peered up from the fur of my tail.

"Umm, it's okay. I don't mind; I was just surprised. You are letting me feel your tail, so I guess it is a fair trade. I don't normally let people touch my hair, or me, but I don't mind if you do," Skylar said, and then buried her face back into my tail, and that gave me an idea.

Suddenly, I became a cat, and Skylar squealed, scooping me to her face and rubbing me into it. All of her shyness seemed to vanish as she cuddled me into her face.

"Is this form better?" I asked, making Skylar pull back with surprise.

"Your voice is so deep now!" Skylar explained, and I sighed.

"It is just that way it has always been. I think it is a cruel joke, like my name," I said, and Skylar giggled.

"I liked you before, but this way, I don't feel so nervous around you. Just a talking cat, not a person," Skylar said like that was normal.

"Well, I don't mind being like that when we spend time together until you get used to me," I said, and Skylar nodded.

"Thank you. I think I am slowly starting to understand what you meant when you told me about your home. I think that you are my home. I am still a bit scared of the girls, but Senna told me I had to help plant tomorrow. She said I could work alone if I wanted, but I don't think the Countess is going to let me," Skylar said with a sigh.

"I think that she is just glad to have real friends around her. You could do with making a few of them, so maybe just try to entertain Eliza. I know she is pushy sometimes, but she is a really good person. All the girls are great in their own ways," I explained, and Skylar pulled me into her chest, pressing me into her boobs. They were very soft, and I had to resist kneading them.

We stayed like that for a bit while Skylar stroked my fur, but soon I hopped from her arm, and down to the floor. I transformed back and smiled at Skylar, making her return it shyly.

"I have to get going, but we should do this again soon. I would really like more time to run my finger through your silky hair," I said with a smile, and Skylar looked away, putting a hand up to cover her face as she nodded.

I wanted over, and gently kissed the top of her head, and I started to feel the heat coming from Skylar's face. When I pulled back, her hands snapped up and covered her entire face, but I was sure it was completely purple.

"Have a good sleep, and sweet dreams," I said with a smile, and Skylar only nodded, then quickly grabbed her blanket to throw over her head.
