Three weeks had passed. Two of which had been insanely busy for a certain green mouse. Not at work; moving from her old small office into her new larger office had given Minty no problems whatsoever, as it had been as good as merely a matter of switching chairs. And getting Phoebe, the blue squirrel woman who had been hired as Minty's new, direct personal assistant, familiar with the job she had to do had been easy as cheesecake as well. With the experience and the keen mind Phoebe had, the blue squirrel turned out to be very adaptable and quick to pick up on the nuances of her new job. The busy part had been the moving. Minty had helped two people move into a new house; her old tigress friend Angie, whom she had more or less convinced to buy a house in Amity, had been one of them. The other was Phoebe, who also needed to relocate to a house in Amity, and Minty was more or less her only more personal contact in the small town so far. It had been very hard work, but Minty had also enjoyed it quite a lot; in the first case, with Angie, it was a lot of excitement and happiness at seeing her old friend again and having her old friend living close by again, and in the second case, with Phoebe, it meant Minty also got to meet the blue squirrel's daughter Lily. Phoebe's daughter was nothing short of adorable. Her official name was Lilac, and one look at he girl made it clear why; her fur was a lovely pastel light purple, with even much lighter purple markings. The adorableness was even enhanced by those markings, as some of them looked like hearts. For a five year old, Lily was remarkable well-spoken, too; the professionalism of her mother showed in the way the little girl already had a way with words, and even simply the amount of words she already knew. Minty was quite amused by the way the little squirrel girl had been bustling around the house during the move, like an active little busy-bee, every now and then even giving directions to the movers with the air of a wordly-wise adult. The green mouse was also very much amused with Phoebe's behavior; as professional and calm and self-secure as the woman seemed to be, she kept alternating that behavior with bouts of almost schoolgirl-like insecurity and blushing like a teenager with her first crush every time Minty made a playful flirt. If she was honest with herself, Minty found it adorable, and it in fact spurred her on to flirt even more with the blue squirrel, both because she really liked the woman, and because it was simply very funny to see the collected mature woman transform into a stuttering schoolgirl. When all the moving had been done and all the other arrangements had been made, such as a babysitting service and daycare for Phoebe's daughter, life eventually went back to its normal pace again. Minty returned to her work; Phoebe settled into her new job as Minty's assistant very well. Even on the job, though, Minty kept playfully flirting with Phoebe. It was just so funny to see the squirrel woman's reactions to it! And, also not unimportantly, Phoebe did not seem to reject Minty's flirting. It was true the main reaction of the blue squirrel to Minty's flirting was blushing and getting quite embarrassed and shy, but to the trained eye of an experienced flirter, such as Minty was, it could also be seen that Phoebe secretly enjoyed it, and would like to return the affection if only that darn shyness wasn't getting in the way. And sometimes, Phoebe even did manage to return a bit of Minty's flirts, even if it was in an almost adorable inexperienced and shy manner. Another thing that was quite amusing to Minty, was that Phoebe kept referring to her as 'boss', despite the informal, personal atmosphere there was on the workfloor. Then again, the way in which Phoebe did it was not really like cordial formality towards a superior, but more a bit affectionate, almost like a sort of pet name. At the end of the third week, work stopped early. With Phoebe so eager to learn and so quick to pick up on what she was supposed to do, and Minty working so hard to teach Phoebe the ropes, they had gone through all of the work that had been waiting for them a lot faster than they expected. Just as they were about to step out of their office to go on their lunch break, a call came in to inform them that they could take the afternoon off since there pretty much was nothing left to do, so they could go enjoy a somewhat earlier weekend. "Well!" Minty said cheerily after Phoebe had put the phone back down and informed the green mouse of what she had been told. "Seems like we outworked the company's inflow of orders. Go us!" She giggled and gave Phoebe's shoulder a light push. "Before too long we'll be running this joint, dearie!" Phoebe also giggled softly. "It does seem like we make quite a good team, doesn't it?" "Indeed!" Minty nodded, leading the way to the elevators. She smiled. "Hey, since we have an afternoon of nothing to do now, how about we go over to my place? I still owe you that cup of coffee from our first meeting." "Well... yeah. Yeah, why not? I'd like that, I think," Phoebe said with a soft smile. "I don't have to pick up Lily from the daycare until half past five, so I have plenty of time." She smiled a bit deeper, yet still somewhat shyly. "And I would like to see your house; from what you told me about it, it sounds lovely." "Settled then," Minty smiled as they rode the elevator down to the ground floor and walked outside to the employee-only parking lot. "Just follow me, I'll lead the way to my place and we'll have that cup of coffee and talk a bit and all." Phoebe nodded with another soft smile. While Minty walked to her car, Phoebe did as well, getting in and driving off the parking space to find Minty waiting for her by the automatic bar that fenced off the employee-only parking lot from the regular parking lot. One behind the other, they drove off the premises and calmly through the midday traffic towards the western outskirts of town where Minty's house was. Parking by the driveway, Phoebe slowly got out of her car and looked around her; towards the north, across the fields that sloped into small hills and ended at the rows of trees that fenced off the premises of the tree nursery at the other side of the hills; towards the northwest, across the fields that were dotted with trees following the winding run of the creek, the trees eventually clumping together into a forest towards the west, behind and around Minty's house. Leaning on the opened driver door of her car, Minty chittered softly as she looked at the blue squirrel standing behind the opened driver door of her own car and holding the top of the door with both paws while looking around at the views. With a soft and cheery shake of her head, Minty closed and locked the door of her car and stepped over to Phoebe's car, laying a paw on the top of the opened driver door as well and smiling at the blue squirrel. "Well?" "Wow..." Phoebe said slowly. "This is... amazing, boss. If it wasn't for the street here on this side, you could even forget you're living in a town at all." "It's nice, ain't it?" Minty agreed with a soft chitter. "And just wait till you see the inside of the house and the backyard." Phoebe nodded slowly, eventually stepping from behind the door of her car with a little bit of urging from Minty's paw that had come to rest on her shoulder. Closing and locking the door of her car, the blue squirrel followed Minty towards the house and looked around a bit on the front porch while Minty fished her keys up from her pocket. When she had opened the front door, the green mouse led the way into her house for Phoebe, who paused just a fraction of a second before stepping inside as well. After both of them had hung up their coats, Minty led the way again, into the living room where she stepped over towards the large desk in the corner by the window to put away her briefcase. Phoebe remained standing just inside the living room door, looking around her again at the open space that was the living room on the front side of the house and the open kitchen and dining area on the rear side of the house. Of course, looking into the open kitchen and dining area at the back, Phoebe couldn't help but also notice the large glass sliding doors leading out onto the back porch which fluidly went over into the patio and the deck with the prominent square-ish hot tub. She blinked for a moment, clearly having not expected to see something like that. "Wow..." she muttered under her breath, causing Minty to let out a soft chitter again. "Nice, huh?" the green mouse giggled. "That hot tub was the whole reason why I chose this house." "Yeah, it's... it's lovely," Phoebe nodded slowly. Minty also nodded, stepping further towards the open kitchen. "Well, anyway, have a seat, make yourself at home while I make us some coffee," she smiled. "Thank you." Phoebe slowly stepped further into the living room and kept looking around her as she took a seat on the couch. "You have really nice furniture, boss. Is it all antique?" "Most of it is," Minty answered from the open kitchen. "It all came from my parents. That breakfront even used to belong to my great-grandparents; it's been in the family four generations now, same as that desk. It's been valued at several tens of thousands of dollars." A soft giggle. "Don't be fooled by that entertainment unit, though; that is not antique, it was just built in a style to make it [i]look[/i] antique. After all, in the eighteen-hundreds, they didn't exactly build furniture designed specifically to put a TV in." "Hee... yes, that makes sense, they didn't even have radios back then, let alone TVs," Phoebe said with a soft giggle. "It looks convincingly antique, though." "That's why my parents bought it," Minty nodded while she filled the coffee pot with water and carefully poured it into the coffee maker. "When my grandparents died, they left all their antique furniture to my parents, so my parental house was furnished in all antiques. They chose that entertainment unit because it kept in style with the rest of the furnishing." She put a filter in the coffee machine and added two scoops of powdered coffee, pausing with a third scoopful. "How do you like your coffee, Pheebs? Mild or strong?" "Oh, uh, not too strong, please." "Right," Minty smiled, putting the third scoop back into the tin of coffee powder. "Shall I whip up some lunch, too? It is our lunch break at the moment, after all." "Oh, you don't need to go through the extra trouble, boss," Phoebe said. "Nonsense, it's no trouble at all," Minty smiled. "Some sandwiches with fried eggs sound okay?" "Well, if you're sure it's no trouble..." "Positive." "Okay... well... yes, please, I'd like a sandwich then." "Right. Give me a minute more and they'll be right up." Phoebe nodded quietly, still looking around her a bit. Her attention was drawn to the square wood coffee table in front of the couch she was sitting on. In the very middle of it was a low round basket that held five flowering Christmas cactuses, while scattered around on the surface were a number of items usually found on a coffee table; coasters, a remote control laying on top of a TV guide that was folded over to the page showing the date of that day, a turned wood bowl in which a few tangerines were sitting atop an assortment of nuts, with a nutcracker laying next to the basket, a large green Depression glass ashtray where Minty had put her house keys and car keys in, and a variety of magazines plus what seemed to be a club newsletter. The blue squirrel blushed when she noticed that almost all the magazines were nudism magazines. She blushed even harder when she spotted the club newsletter was an ALTYO newsletter. Leaning over a bit, she hesitantly reached for it, but she pulled back with a startle as if she was caught dipping her paw in the cookie jar when Minty spoke up from the open kitchen again. "Ah..! I'm... I'm sorry, what did you say?" Phoebe stuttered. "I said, do you want ham or cheese under your fried eggs?" Minty repeated with a giggle. "Oh... uh... cheese, please," Phoebe mumbled. "Excellent choice," Minty giggled. "I'll only be a couple moments longer. In the meantime, feel free to look through those magazines if you want." She had indeed spotted Phoebe reaching for the magazines. "Are you interested in nudism?" Phoebe's almost entire face turned purple from the squirrel's deep blush, and she did what Minty had often seen her restraining herself to do in the past weeks; she wrapped her thick, bushy tail around herself and hugged it against her chest with both arms to hide her face in it. "Uh... uhm..." Minty giggled to herself, busying herself with covering a couple of slices of bread with some slices of cheese. "No need to be embarrassed, Pheebs. Nudism is nothing naughty; it's very natural. After all, it's the way we all are born. I'm a devout nudist myself, so you can talk about it freely with me, and I'll be more than happy to answer any questions you may have." Phoebe merely squeaked in response, still hiding behind and in her tail. With another soft giggle and a cheery shake of her head, Minty let the blue squirrel be for a bit and just concentrated on putting the slices of bread with cheese on two plates and sliding the fried eggs onto the slices of bread once the eggs were done. Putting the frying pan in the sink and some cutlery on both plates, Minty looked across the breakfast bar and into the living room again. "Want a bit of salad with them too?" As an answer, she only got a muffled squeak and a slight nod of the small part of Phoebe's head that was visible from behind the thick, bushy blue squirrel tail. Giggling again, Minty leaned into the fridge to grab a bowl of mixed vegetable and fruit salad, of which she added some onto both plates as well. All done, the green mouse put the rest of the salad back in the fridge and bumped the door shut with her butt while taking both plates and setting them on the dinner table. "Well, lunch is served," she announced cheerfully. Again, she only got a squeak in response. Shaking her head again, Minty stepped into the living room and took Phoebe by a paw, pulling the squirrel off the couch and towards the dining area. "Oh come on now, Pheebs, you gotta grow up a bit, you know," she chittered. "You're a grown, mature woman, you're older than me, and look at you, you're blushing and squeaking like a little girl!" "I... I-I know, but..." Phoebe stuttered. "I-it's just... oh god, I'm so embarrassed, Minty. I mean, you're my boss, and..." "Oh, nonsense," Minty smiled, setting Phoebe down on one of the dining room chairs. "We're both adults, we're both girls, and we're both at my place as friends, so there's no need at all to be embarrassed. Not even about that crush you have on me," she added with a very small, sly grin. That had Phoebe blushing like a traffic light and hiding in her tail again with a squeak. "Y-y-you... you kn-know a-about..." "Let's just say I recognized and interpreted the signs," Minty giggled. "But I say again; we're both adult girls, we're at my place as friends now, so none of that boss stuff, and no need to be embarrassed about anything." She sat down opposite Phoebe at the dining table and motioned at the plates. "Now, let's just have lunch, alright? We can talk about anything you want later." Phoebe nodded slowly, managing to let go of her tail and rest the fluffy appendage in her lap while she took the cutlery and started eating the sandwich Minty had made. She still blushed rather badly, however, and kept squeaking and twitching her tail each time she felt Minty's feet rubbing against her own under the table as the green mouse cheerily, and only a little bit teasingly, played footsie with her under the table. Yet the blue squirrel did not pull back from Minty's advances, despite her glowing blush and twitching tail. She got a bit of reprieve when the coffee maker gurgled and hissed to announce the coffee was ready. Minty got up from the table and winked at Phoebe as she stepped over to the counter to take the pot and pour two cups of coffee. "Cream and sugar?" she informed as she set the cups down on the table. Phoebe merely nodded, because she had her mouth full of salad. Minty put a small jug of cream she'd taken from the fridge and a bowl with lumps of sugar on the table as well before sitting back down behind her own plate, stirring some cream and sugar through her own coffee. Eventually, and probably with the help of the coffee, Phoebe relaxed a bit again. Enough anyway to let her tail slide out of her lap and bring her blush down to just a light rosy glow on her cheeks and around her nose. Being done with the lunch, Minty put the plates and cutlery in the sink as well and took the coffee pot, holding it up questioningly. "Refill?" "P-please," Phoebe nodded. Minty filled both cups again and put the pot back on the machine, smiling as she stepped back to the dinner table. "Let's take those cups into the living room, the couch is a lot comfier." Phoebe nodded a bit, taking her cup and walking back into the living room to sit on the couch again, with her fluffy tail resting across her lap. Minty brought her own cup of coffee plus the cream and sugar, setting those down on the coffee table as she sat down next to Phoebe and crossed her legs. As she was sitting on Phoebe's left side, the green mouse made sure she lay her right leg over her left knee so her right foot was pointing away from Phoebe, which seemed to ease the blue squirrel's mind a bit. "There then," Minty smiled, stirring her coffee and taking a sip. She pointed her foot at the coffee table. "Let me ask you again; are you interested in nudism?" "K-kinda," Phoebe said in a low stutter. "I... I kinda prefer to not wear clothes when I'm at home." "Ever been to a nudist beach or something?" Minty asked calmly. "N-no!" Phoebe blushed. "I'm... I'm way too embarrassed to... to..." "No need," Minty smiled, taking another sip from her coffee. "I'll admit, for someone who is shy, or who is new to it, the idea of going to a place where everyone else is walking around in their bare butts as well can be rather frightening, but there really is no need to be scared. Everyone at a nudist beach or resort or whatever is of the same mindset as you are; they are there to just enjoy the outdoors in their own natural state without the hampering restriction of clothes. So no one there will look at you funny for being naked; you'd sooner get funny looks if you would keep your clothes on." "I-I know, but..." "It's alright," Minty smiled. "It can be quite overwhelming, especially when it's your first time. You feel like everyone is staring at you." She chittered softly. "Which in my case still often happens when I go to places I've not often been to, or even never been before, because of my green fur and skin. But I'll tell you what, Pheebs." With a smile, Minty turned a bit to look at the squirrel. "There's a small nudist beach at the Pacific coast, called Beaver Beach because it's behind the small town of Beaver. It's a very small, very secluded bayou jutting inland from the Pacific ocean, entirely enclosed by forest, and it's women-only. I go there all the time, I've been going there when I still lived in Portland already. It'll close for the winter season soon, but while it's still open, I can take you there sometime; it should help you a bit to get used to the idea of being at a nudist beach because it's only quite small, so not many people come there, and like I said, it's women-only." "I... I-I d-don't know..." Phoebe mumbled, staring into her coffee cup. "I'll tell you something else then," Minty said with a soft chitter. "I can help you getting used to being nude around other people even more gradually and more comfortingly. Right here, at my house. Usually, the first thing I do when I get home is strip naked, because it just feels so much better, so much more free, to go around like that. And you noticed how secluded and private my house is, so you don't have to be afraid of anyone seeing you; it'll be just you and me." "I... I..." Phoebe mumbled again. She let out a very light sigh. "I'd... I'd l-like that, but... I d-dunno..." "Then let me put it another way," Minty giggled, sitting up straight a bit. "Phoebe, take off your clothes. That's a direct order from your boss." Phoebe squeaked and hugged her tail against her chest again, though she did look up at Minty shyly and very slowly nodded. "O-o-okay, b-boss..." She slowly stood up from the couch, blushing furiously as she started to unbutton her blouse and slipped it off, then unzipped her skirt and let that drop to the floor as well. Looking at Minty with her eyes lowered, the blue squirrel reached behind her and undid her bra to let her full breasts bounce free, followed by almost hesitantly pushing down her panties. When she was fully naked, Phoebe lowered her head a bit and fidgeted, clearly fighting the urge to pull her tail around herself and hide in it again while she looked at Minty with a blush that ran from the tips of her ears down over her entire face and neck to the top of her cleavage. Minty giggled softly behind a paw at Phoebe's demure mannerisms. She very strongly got the idea it was not merely shyness that kept Phoebe from following her desires, but also submissiveness. The fact Phoebe had given in and stripped naked after Minty had [i]told[/i] her to instead of asking her fortified that notion in the green mousette's mind, along with the way the blue squirrel was now looking at her with lowered eyes and a blush that lent a glow to an expression almost like a pet waiting for her mistress to tell her she had been good. Sitting back a bit, Minty took a little time to take in the details of Phoebe's naked form. The squirrel certainly was very pretty to look at. Of course Minty had already seen that Phoebe had a couple of very light blue markings that contrasted with the deeper blue of her fur; on the bridge of her nose, along her cheeks, over her eyes and on the back of her ears, as well as covering her lower arms and paws, and her feet, plus a large part of the underside of the squirrel's tail plus the entire tip of it. But now Minty could see there were more of the light blue markings; a round spot with a smaller round spot above it was on the squirrel's cleavage, and across the lower halves of her full breasts ran a marking that came together in a point at Phoebe's midriff, thus forming a heart shape. That was just too cute! There was some more light blue further down as well; a sort of rectangle of light blue with the top curved slightly downwards started at Phoebe's hip line, covering the front lower part of her abdomen, her mound and crotch, running down over the insides of her thighs and ending in somewhat rounded points at the squirrel's knees. Slightly remarkably, while Phoebe's paw pads and, as Minty could now see, her ruffled inner labia, were a light pink in color because they were situated in the light blue fur, the squirrel's nipples and areolae were of a very dark red-ish pink color, like the color of her little nose pad, despite the nipples also being situated in the light blue fur forming the heart-shaped marking across Phoebe's breasts. Minty also noticed the squirrel's areolae and nipples were relatively large in size. Combined with the dark skin tone and the fullness of Phoebe's breasts, it made Minty suspect the blue squirrel had breast-fed her daughter, and possibly was still doing it. Not saying anything about it yet, the green mouse just sent Phoebe a smile and stood up from the couch herself as well to take off her own clothes. Again Phoebe squeaked and blushed, but she kept looking at Minty as the mouse shook herself a little when she was naked and sat back down on the couch, patting the seat next to her with a paw. "There now, doesn't that feel much better?" she smiled. "Come sit down again, Pheebs. And let me tell you; you're very beautiful, you sure have no need to be ashamed of being nude at any kind of nudist resort." "Th-thank you..." Phoebe said softly, sitting down. She rested her tail in her lap and fiddled with it a bit, looking down. "You're... you're very pretty too, boss..." "Thanks," Minty smiled. "If you don't mind me asking; do you nurse your daughter?" Phoebe gave a very light nod of her head, blushing deeper. "I thought so," Minty nodded. "My best friend Dusty still does too, and I noticed how it made her nipples look rather large, which I also noticed on you." She turned a bit and lay a paw on Phoebe's thigh, causing the squirrel to squeak for a moment again. "And speaking of your daughter; I saw you reaching for that ALTYO newsletter before. Is there something else you want to tell me?" "I... I, uhm..." Phoebe squeaked, lowering her head further. "Come on now," Minty smiled, giving Phoebe's thigh a gentle squeeze. "The fact that newsletter is laying there on my coffee table should prove to you I'm a member, so you should know nothing you have to confess could possibly shock me. So tell me, Pheebs; are you intimate with your daughter?" Phoebe didn't answer for several moments, only squeaking quietly and fiddling with tufts of fur on her tail. At another soft, indeed comforting squeeze of Minty's paw to her thigh, she looked up a bit, and eventually let out a small sigh. "N-not as such, b-but..." She shook her head a bit and lifted it slightly. "I-it's like this, see... I... I do prefer to be nude in my house, a-and... well, I let Lily run around nude all the time as well. Little kids are so exuberant, you know, and you wouldn't believe how quickly they manage to get themselves dirty, so it's mostly a time-saver to let her run around in the buff. I don't have nearly as much laundry to do that way, And... well, she seems to enjoy it better than having clothes on." "That's very understandable," Minty nodded with a soft giggle. "My parents also always let me run around in my bare butt when I was a toddler, because I somehow always managed to make the dirt find me. And after they'd had to put me in clean clothes for the eleventh or so time in one day, they just decided it would be a lot simpler and much less hassle to let me run around and play in my bare butt. It's probably why I've always been such a devout nudist later in life, too." Phoebe nodded softly, even managing a faint smile. "Yeah, it's... I don't know how she does it, but even after I cleaned the whole house, Lil is covered in dust and grime within five minutes. And when she plays outside, I hardly recognize her after half an hour anymore because she's turned green from grass stains." She giggled very softly. "Back in McMinnville, we lived quite near some large fields, and last summer they had been mowing the grass there, you know... left it laying there to dry before they would bale it up. Well, Lily got wind of it and found it an amazing playground... when I went to look for her, she looked like a scarecrow. Covered in grass, and she had stuffed it down her shirt as well. After I had finally brushed all the loose grass off of her and out of her clothes, there was still no difference because she was stained green all over, and those clothes were effectively ruined. So... yeah, I decided to just let her run around nude in the house and the backyard." Minty chittered a cheery giggle. "Kits, huh? The things they think up as games... I know I was just the same. I remember my parents had taken me to a festival in Portland one time, and there were some folks performing there as living statues. You know how they cover themselves all over with some kind of powder to make themselves look like stone? Next day I thought it would be funny to try that too, so I covered myself all over in mud and proudly stepped into the house going; look mom, dad, I'm a statue!" She giggled louder. "They were not exactly amused, but that's probably also because I left a trail of mud all through the kitchen and into the living room." Phoebe also giggled softly. "Yeah... sounds like something Lily would do. So, yeah, to save myself from having to do tons of laundry and needing to buy a lot of new clothes, I just let her run around without clothes on. And... and since I usually go nude myself in the house too, Lily... loves to crawl up against me and cuddle when I'm sitting on the couch or something." "I can imagine that," Minty smiled, taking her paw off Phoebe's leg to stroke it softly across the thick, bushy tail still resting in the squirrel's lap. "I mean, golly, just feel this tail, it's so snuggly!" She looked up at Phoebe with a smile. "Is that how you got to be a bit more intimate with her?" "K-kinda..." For a moment, Phoebe lowered her head again, but then looked back up at Minty shyly. "This one day... I was rather tired, it had been a hard day at work, so after dinner I just flopped down on the couch. We... were already nude, dinnertime is the messiest time with a young kit, so, yeah..." She drew in a slightly deeper breath. "I was so tired, eventually I kind of dozed off a bit. I was laying spread out sideways over the couch, and my leg had slipped off the seat and all, and... well... Lily crawled onto the couch to cuddle, and... she... she crawled up over me to get to... to my breasts to drink. She still does that... I still let her do it, because it's... it's just such a nice feeling, and I really have the feeling we bond more through it." "Undoubtedly," Minty smiled, softly petting Phoebe's tail. "So what happened?" "Well... she... she crawled up onto my belly to reach my breasts, and... as she did, she... one of her feet... her toes pressed against my... my... you know." Gradually, Phoebe's voice had lowered further and further into a mumble. "It... the feeling... I was not entirely asleep yet, and it woke me back up fully... She... probably didn't even notice because she was drinking, but... it felt... she was wiggling, and... her toes... it felt... good. A-and... I didn't... I didn't stop her, and... I... I... c-climaxed." She shook her head. "I... I couldn't believe it... my baby, making me... hot. I..." She slowly looked back up at Minty. "I was... I was kinda shocked, really. I mean, I'm a mother, and... and she's my baby. It shouldn't be that she..." She shook her head again. "I thought I was sick in my head. So I went online the next day to look for psychiatric help. And... that's when I found ALTYO, or their site at least. I... read their site, and... it... it made such sense. It... kinda reassured me a bit that I was not abnormal, but... I couldn't... I just couldn't bring myself to get in touch with them." Minty nodded in understanding, softly petting Phoebe's tail again. "You should though. They really are a wonderful organization, and they can help you so much." Taking her paw off Phoebe's tail, Minty lay her paw against the squirrel's cheek and smiled. "I'll help you. My best friend Dusty is secretary of the member administration of ALTYO; she brought me in as a member, and I know she'll help you become a member as well. I'll call her tomorrow and bring her over to visit you, and she'll guide you through the whole process." "I..." Phoebe mumbled, lowering her eyes a bit. "You r-really think I should..?" "Trust me, joining ALTYO is the best thing you could possibly do," Minty smiled, softly stroking Phoebe's cheek with her paw. "And I promise you, I'll be with you the whole time. Also when you'll get introduced at the next member's meeting, and at all next meetings and events after that, I'll be with you." "Th-thank you..." Phoebe mumbled, slowly casting her eyes upwards to look at Minty's face a bit. "See, that's... that's why I like you so much, boss... You're... you're so helpful, so sweet..." "And you are kinda submissive, and need an authorative, guiding paw to let you make decisions of an intimate nature, am I right?" Minty smiled with a very soft giggle. Once more, Phoebe squeaked and blushed, but she nodded with her head lowered. "I've... I've always been that way..." She glanced up at Minty. "I... I like... s-sex, and being naked, and... making people feel good, but... I k-kinda need someone to tell me what to do, otherwise... I don't quite dare to do it." "I kind of noticed that," Minty nodded with another soft giggle. "But hey, I already tell you what to do at work; I don't mind at all telling you what to do in intimate situations as well." "Y-yes... p-please, boss... I'd... I'd like that..." Phoebe mumbled, with just a hint of a begging tone to her voice. "M-make me... let me be... your... your..." "My what?" Minty giggled, lowering her paw back down to Phoebe's thigh and giving a light squeeze. "My naughty office girl, that I keep under my desk to get me off while I work, perhaps?" Phoebe blushed furiously, but did keep looking at Minty and nodded slowly. "Y-yes, p-please..." she whispered. Minty laughed softly and cheerfully. Oh man, this was just too funny! Such a mature woman, several years older than she was herself, behaving like such a shy girl around her, and even asking for something that Minty had more or less said as a joke.
