Leiden walked outside her house, phone and towels in hand. She had arranged to take a swim with a former college friend in this new pool that she recently installed. The pool was rather deep, around six-and-a-half feet deep at its deepest end, not to mention clean and pristine. Even better was the fact that it was built into the ground, so no one would have to climb a ladder to get in or out, although a ladder was installed just in case. It was a nice pool, and Leiden knew exactly who would most enjoy it.

She grabbed her phone and looked through her contacts. She found the girl she was looking for, a shark named Iliana. Iliana was tough, tall and well-built, but still incredibly casual and up for joining in any silliness Leiden was hoping to get herself into. They hung out a lot in college, ranging from swimming in the campus pool to talking about their crushes like a couple of high schoolers.

“Hey Iliana,” she texted to her friend, “You comin?”

“Yeah, I’m coming,” Iliana responded, “I’ll be at your house in a sec. Just got lost… again.”

Leiden giggled. Poor Iliana didn’t have a very good sense of direction, but she tried her best. Even with a GPS, sometimes she would simply forget what address she wanted to put in and took a lucky guess. Leiden always tried to be patient with her, even if it wasn’t always easy. After all, considering all the good times they had together in college, she was willing to forgive a lot for her friend.

Leiden decided to sit down near the edge of the pool while she waited, browsing an online store for some new movies to watch. While her paws dangled off the edge into the waters below, she thought about how unusual it was for her, a cat, to buy a swimming pool. Didn’t most cats hate water, or at least getting wet? She couldn’t speak for other cats, but well… she couldn’t say she hated it. In fact, she loved it. The only reason she hadn’t installed a pool earlier was because of the public pool downtown, but now she had her own, and she was free to do whatever she wanted with it.

The sound of a car pulling into her driveway halted her browsing. Red roof, silver doors… yes, this was Iliana’s car. An anthropomorphic shark stepped out of that car in a t-shirt and jean shorts. Both looked too small on her, serving to do little more than accentuate her physique. Her skin was gray, her ears were pointed and fin-like, her tail was long and finned, and oddly enough, she had long, if shaggy red hair growing out of her head. Put all this on an athletic frame and you had Iliana, in the flesh.

“Hey, there you are!” Leiden stood up and approached. “I’m so happy to see you, how have you been?”

“Glad to hear.” Iliana grabbed Leiden and embraced her in a friendly hug. Comparing the two, it was obvious that Iliana was taller. “I see you’re going the skinny-dipping route. Not surprised.” She patted her smaller buddy on the back, perhaps a bit too hard, as it made Leiden cough. “Anyway, how’s work?”

“Oh, work’s been great, as usual. Nothing new.” She pointed toward the pool. “Well, here’s what I invited you for. How do you like it?”

“Aight. Lemme give it a look.” 

Iliana broke the hug and walked over. She walked around the pool, inspecting the tiles, the water, basically anything and everything that made up the visible parts of the pool. Leiden watched her do this for a few minutes, until Iliana turned back to her and gave a thumbs-up.

“Yep,” Iliana confirmed, “this is some good shit.” 

Leiden gave the thumbs-up back before walking to the pool. She sat down on the edge, slowly easing herself into the pool. The water was cold, at least when compared to the air around it. Leiden tried her best to get used to the cold, but she couldn’t really speed up that process. She just had to sit and wait.

“Hey, Iliana,” Leiden said, turning to look at the shark behind her. “Are you gonna change?”

“Huh? Change?” Iliana shrugged, chuckling slightly. “Kinda. If you mean change into nothing at all, then sure, why not? The hell kinda gal would I be to take an offer to visit you, The Nude One, and not let my bits breathe?”

She then proceeded to strip right in front of Leiden. When she took off her shirt, it was revealed that she had foregone undergarments entirely. Tits exposed, she winked at the feline in the water, before taking her shorts off as well. Yes, she was 100% female, and damn proud of it, as made evident by her confident stride toward the pool.

“Woo, looking good!” Leiden was grinning at this toned shark walking toward her. “Love the strut, you look like you own this damn place. Reminds me of the good ol’ days when you’d just… go to the basketball court and everyone would just shut up when you walked in.”

“I was the only reason you ever went to that damn basketball court.” Iliana laughed, snorting awkwardly. She suddenly paused, as if embarrassed by the noise she just made. “…you didn’t hear anything, right?”

“If I said no, would you be happier?”

“Yeah, probably.”

“Then no.”

Iliana finally got in the pool, plunging herself into the deepest end almost immediately. She began doing a few laps while her ever-watchful partner stuck to the edges, leaving enough space for her to do her thing. Her form screamed “professional,” fitting for someone who was as athletic as Iliana, a personal trainer by profession. 

“How’d you get so good at this?”

“I’m a shark, it’s kinda in the blood.” Iliana beckoned Leiden closer, into the deep end. “Come on, the water’s great. You’ll be fine, I’ll be right here.”

“I’m coming, I’m coming.” Leiden swam her way to that deep end, which was deep enough that it could go over even her friend’s head. She was slow, but then again, she was just trying to stay safe and have a good time, even if Iliana here could probably save her without any problems if she drowned.

She finally made it to the opposite end of the pool, grabbing onto the edge and sighing. Where she was hanging, she couldn’t even feel the bottom, and so all she could really do was float. She couldn’t see the bottom. 

“Atta girl.” Iliana patted Leiden on the head and stayed next to her. “There’s the risk-taker I know and love. So anyway, uh, let’s talk about… I dunno…”

“Anything at all?”

“Sure, sure.” She then got to thinking. “Have any good sex lately?”

“Good sex? God, all sex is good with me around, Iliana. You should know that by now.” Leiden chuckled. “If you want serious answers, Friday I got dommed by this cute ferret boy, he’s a college student. Guy was a rookie, but I helped him ease into it and, well, we both seemed to enjoy it at least. And then we spent the night together watching bad movies, it was great.”

“He was cute, huh? Lucky girl.” Iliana grinned, revealing an unsurprisingly sharp set of teeth. “Been trying to get a guy, but I keep scaring ‘em off. What do you think it is, huh? Too threatening? Too tough?”

“…huh? You’re having trouble hooking up with a guy? Well, what’s your type?”

“You know, small, probably around your height. Cute, fuzzy, maybe a bit squishy.” She shrugged. “You got a girl like me, people expect you to, you know, go for the big guys, the shirtless muscle dudes. Fuck that, I say, gimme someone I can cuddle. Kinda like you, but… you know, not you.”

“I get it.” Leiden looked up at the sky. “Do you think it’s because you’re intimidating?”

“Intimidating? Lemme think about that.”

Iliana got to thinking, to see if she was intimidating or not. Sure, she was a shark, and a tall one at that, but she wasn’t too horribly tall. Maybe it was her face… flashing a grin at people seemed to make some of them uncomfortable, she could easily blame her teeth for that. Honestly, she didn’t see herself as intimidating in the slightest, but she had to wonder if other people saw her that way.

“…I dunno, I don’t think I am, but who knows with some folks?” Iliana sighed, crossing her arms. She looked down at Leiden. “You don’t think I’m intimidating, do ya?”

“Huh, me?” Leiden looked back at the shark right next to her. “Not anymore, I don’t, but when I first met you, you seemed so… I don’t know, big? Maybe you’re not massive yourself, but you give off this… vibe of bigness and importance, you know? It’s no one thing, it’s… it’s the whole package, I think. I know you’re awesome now, but who was I to know back then?”

“Huh. Never thought about that.” Iliana shrugged. “I don’t know how I can fix that… maybe I can make myself seem more approachable. Most people don’t even like to make eye contact with me. You think that would help?”

“Hey, I’m sure it would. Once you find someone who takes the chance to get to know you, they’ll be in for a great time, I’m sure.” Leiden flashed a smile just goofy enough to elicit a laugh from her friend. The laughter proved contagious, causing Leiden to laugh as well.

“Leiden, you’re such a goddamn dork, I love it.” Iliana wrapped her arm around the cat next to her. “Thank you for the advice… you know, I should give you something in return. You got any ideas?”

The pair were silent. They both knew exactly what they wanted to do, but none were brave enough to say it first. Maybe they even knew that they wanted the same thing but just found it convenient to wait for the other to say it? It wasn’t that hard to say: They wanted sex. Still, neither of them could bring themselves to say it… but they both knew they wanted it.

“…wanna get out of the pool first?” Leiden suggested. 

Iliana nodded, helping her smaller companion out by quite literally hoisting her over the edge. She then hoisted herself onto the stone tiling, lying down on her back. Maybe she should’ve just taken the ladder, but that would have been boring. Iliana was a woman who liked to take risks, and so it was a risk that she took, even if it more than likely was not worth it.

“God, I don’t remember you being so heavy. Must be all that fuzz.” The much-larger shark stroked her feline companion on the head, as if she were a pet cat. Leiden started to lean into it once she started rubbing her face, purring as she did so. “Dang, you really like petting, don’t ya?”

“Only when a friend does it, and you’re as close a friend as it gets.”

The petting continued, down the head and the face and to Leiden’s back. The wetness of her fur did nothing to negatively affect its softness, nor did it negatively affect Leiden’s enjoyment. When Iliana got to her belly, she made sure to slowly rub it down, feeling the fur as it passed by. She watched as her kitty grew ever-pleased, shifting to lying on her back to let this continue further. Iliana knew that she needed to speed this up, however, and soon, she moved her hand slowly up, toward Leiden’s breasts.

“Huh? You liked that?”

A look at Leiden’s face indicated as such. It wasn’t merely her face, either, as her dick found itself rising to the occasion. This wasn’t a surprise to Iliana, since this was far from their first rodeo, and so, she got an idea. They knew they wanted sex, but now, she knew how she wanted it. Leiden may have been putty in her hands then, but Iliana wanted to take a turn being used.

“There we go. Say, Leiden.”

“…yyyeah?”

“I took the pill this morning, and I’m thinking we should trade places a bit.” She spread her legs for Leiden, pussy exposed, face smirking. “What I’m trynna say is, fuck me like you own me.”

Leiden nodded, prepping up. Sitting up, she gestured for Iliana to bend herself over, a request which the shark complied with readily. The cat adjusted herself, propping herself up so that her dick could rest next to the base of Iliana’s tail. She gave that ass a gentle slap, amazed by the surprising amount of bounce, and at last, she was ready.

Leiden started slow, grinding her cock against Iliana’s snatch without daring to penetrate it quite yet. A bit of teasing never hurt anyone, she thought, so why not ease into it? Her motions were smooth, her now fully-erect member getting closer and closer to penetrating, but she held out. It all seemed to make things better for her companion as well, judging from her facial expressions.

“Nrrrgh… atta girl, Leiden-“

Iliana could then feel that feline cock make its way slowly into her pussy. She moaned in pleasure from how enjoyable it all was, the animalistic qualities of her partner’s dick adding some unique qualities.

“How does this not huurrt…”

“Having non-cat relatives seemed to smooth em out slightly…!” Admittedly, this was only a guess on Leiden’s part, but it seemed to be a good one. Truth be told, those barbs could hurt sometimes, but Leiden was careful, and they’d both had practice.

Leiden soon began rhythmically thrusting, holding on for dear life for the sake of her own balance. She came pre into her companion’s snatch, leaving her feeling lucky that they were both on birth control. Her thrusts came faster and faster, her moans louder and more frequent, while her partner only let out the occasional moan. This, however, was still more than the usual for the shark, and so Leiden took it as a sign of success, encouraging her to keep at it.

As her cock fed that once-empty hole, balls slapping against flesh, Leiden felt powerful. Maybe this is what Chance had felt when she let him penetrate her instead of the other way around, that feeling of being dominant when one hasn’t been for so long. Sure, she loved being dominated herself from time to time, but being a natural switch, she was always happy to change it up to make her lovers happy.

“Honey…” Leiden said, “you’ve got a big storm coming!”

Leiden came hard. Her moan nearly turned to a scream as she felt herself lose control over her body. Her body was practically thrusting itself, perhaps hoping to release its cum sooner than later. Iliana gritted her teeth as she braced herself, not as noisy as her companion, but nevertheless feeling fuller and fuller by the second. Despite the fact that they were both outside, neither of them felt any shame. They were alone regardless, with no one but each other to keep them company, and no one to interrupt them from fulfilling their most carnal wishes.

The cum eventually slowed, and Leiden felt exhausted. She slowly pulled out, cum dripping onto the ground below from both her dick and her partner’s pussy. With heavy breathing and shaking legs, she sat down on the stone and breathed a sigh of relief. She looked down and kept breathing, and finally her cock stopped. 

“Phew… that was great, right?”

“Fuck, I’d say so.” Iliana sat next to her and smiled. “If anyone’s allowed to bend me over and fuck me like that, it’s you.” She scratched behind the kitty’s ears, hoping to reward her further for the session. Leiden, at least, seemed to enjoy it, as she purred in response to the petting. They could probably just sit here for a while, enjoying each other’s company. That would probably work fine.

“Yeah…” Leiden sighed and smiled. “God, I love you so much. In a friend kind of way.”

“Right,” Iliana laughed, “in a friend kind of way.”
