Mira found herself momentarily caught off guard, not used to such a proactive Maria.
For a few heartbeats, Mira was motionless, her mind racing to catch up with the swift change in dynamics. But as the initial shock faded, a warmth spread through her. Slowly, tentatively, Mira began to respond, her hands finding their way to Maria's back, pulling her closer.
Maria, feeling Mira's hesitation give way to participation, deepened the kiss, her heart pounding in her chest.
As the kiss deepened, the dynamic between Mira and Maria shifted, evolving from a simple expression of affection into a playful contest of strength and wit. Maria's boldness sparked a flame in Mira. With her immense physical strength, Mira effortlessly switched their positions, pinning Maria beneath her.
However, Maria was far from defeated. Her smirk was a clear challenge, her eyes gleaming with mischief.
'Hehe~ You think you're in control?'
Wiggling one of her legs out from under Mira, she shimmied her knee into Mira's robe and rubbed against a certain... sensitive spot around her crotch.
"Mmph?!" Mira's eyes widened as she suppressed a surprised yelp and backed off a bit. Her tails naturally reacted to her shift in mood and wrapped around Maria's legs, preventing her from moving at all.
"...What're you doing?" She asked–no–demanded, glowering down at her lover.
"I'm just trying to make you feel good." Maria gave an innocent smile. "Isn't that what sex is all about? I don't want to just be on the receiving end anymore."
"..." Mira's eyelids quivered. Of course, she knew that, but knowing and doing were two completely different things.
That part of her... it was like a stain, a constant reminder of all the crap she went through. To her, rather than it being her sacred garden, it was more like a cursed flower–rather than pleasure, it instead brought endless troubles.
Nobody likes to remember the trauma they went through, and she wasn't any different, especially not during intimate times like these.
Maria saw the slight flicker of... 'Fear? No, more like anxiety and agitation, but not directed at me.' She inwardly noted, almost overcome with shock as she'd never seen such emotions from Mira before.
'...What happened for her to react like that?' She wondered. There was definitely a story behind that, but now wasn't the time to pry. For Mira to express such negative emotions, it must've been traumatic; it was best to wait until she told her naturally.
"...I can stop if you want me to," Maria muttered, noticing that Mira had calmed down.
However, Mira shook her head. "No... it's fine. It's just... I'm not used to, you know... that."
"What? Sex?"
Mira nodded.
Inwardly breathing a sigh of relief, Maria had to stifle a chuckle at how 'innocent' Mira looked before she smirked. "Oh, really~? Then I guess I can only get you accustomed to my touch~"
"Hmph!" Mira simply snorted before she dove back in, forcefully taking Maria's lips.
'Hehe~ So cute~' Maria's eyes shone with love as she responded in kind, squirming underneath Mira in an attempt to break free.
However, Mira's vice-like grip had locked her in place.
'Oh no.' She inwardly exclaimed as she shut her mouth, feeling parts of her body freeze over.
"Hmph!"
Before she could even make sense of what happened, Maria found herself on her back with icy handcuffs around her wrists.
"So, while I was off on another continent, you were over there playing with MY subordinates, huh?" Mira's icy voice resounded as her fingernail extended into a claw.
She sliced Maria's clothes apart before grasping one of Maria's soft, pillowy breasts. The blonde couldn't help but yelp at the cold touch.
"E-Eek! N-No! L-Like I said, it wasn't like that!" She cried out, but Mira paid her no mind and snapped her fingers.
Suddenly, Maria felt her legs spread apart and an icy digit enter her most private place.
"EEP!" She squeaked out, her eyes widening.
"Hmmm~ Should I just get rid of them?" Mira muttered under her breath, staring down at Maria. "I can't have MY woman messing around with others like that, after all."
Injecting a bit of ice and Yin Lightning into Maria's g-spot, Mira smiled predatorily, seeing her lover's eyes roll and her back arch.
After Maria came down from her brief climax, she took a few deep breaths and whispered, "N...N-No~ You can't do anything to them~"
"Oh? So now you're defending them?!"
Taking a fistful of Maria's hair, Mira forcefully lifted the blonde's head and took her lips in a deep, passionate kiss, all while fingering her sacred garden.
Maria's eyes nearly turned into hearts, witnessing Mira's dominant and possessive nature come out in full force. Her insides dripped with lust as her body quivered, another orgasm wracking her thoroughly.
As much as she wanted Mira to feel good, she couldn't help but love this side of her lover. She tried to send more light Qi into Mira's body, hoping to regain some of the momentum she once had, but the fox was too focused, her hands, mouth, and tongue too busy roaming and devouring her body.
'...W-Well~ I tried~' She thought, accepting whatever Mira did to her. 'I'll... I'll get her when she calms down.'
What followed next were loud, continuous moans, followed by the cabin shaking as the two went at it like wild animals for the next few hours.

"...What're they doing in there?" Hana asked, looking back at the cabin while petting Vulcan. Creaks and groans had been coming from there for hours. "Are they fighting again?"
"Well..." Rhydian, in her human form, scratched her cheek awkwardly. Too lazy to come up with a real answer, she just said, "Yes."
"Shouldn't we stop them?" Hana innocently asked back.
"...Not unless you want to die."
"..."
