Ashley blinked, and then smiled. She was now looking at Natalie in a way that made her heart skip a beat.
"Oh honey, how do you get yourself into these situations? I'm going to have to take you home and...'punish' you." Ashley smiled.
"Uh...what?" Natalie blinked.
Ashley got down on one knee and brushed a stray lock of hair out of Natalie's eyes, then leaned in and kissed the younger girl. As if on autopilot, Natalie accepted the kiss with longing, her mouth opening as Ashley's tongue slid inside. Natalie felt a warm sensation all over her body and she moaned softly (the intimate sound seeming very odd coming from such a young girl's mouth!).
Ashley smiled. "I'm sure no one will mind if you take a half day. It's brave of you to try and keep working with your condition."
"My...my condition..." Natalie was still trying to recover from that (unexpected, but welcome!) kiss.
"Yeah, the AR Virus. It hit you pretty hard. Your Doctor says you have the body of a seven year-old. But I mean, something good came out of it. If you hadn't started getting younger, we'd have never hooked up. And you used to be so worried about me being ten years younger than you."
As Ashley explained, Natalie started to remember. At first, the changes were minor, but as she got younger, the process picked up speed. People began to talk. She started to look like a teenager again...and one day it got too much, and she'd broken down and started crying in the teacher's lounge. And that's when Ashley had come up to her and put her arms around her...
Wait. That's not...when did any of that happen? Natalie felt very confused. But a little voice in the back of her mind said "don't fight it. aren't you happier now?". And so she accepted it when Ashley took her hand and walked with her to her car.
She didn't even mind having to ride in a car seat, as she was not quite tall enough to ride without one. The whole trip home, Ashley went on about her day, and how much she loved working with kids.
It made Natalie smile. When they got to Ashley's place, Natalie was only momentarily confused to see her car in the driveway. 'Oh, that's right. I moved in with Ashley. Her family is rich and she has a nice home.'
Ashley picked her up and carried her in. "Let's get you in the bathtub."
The taller girl drew a bath and helped Natalie in. The tub was enormous. Even when they'd first gotten together, it had been big enough for both of them. Now...it felt more like a hot tub to Natalie. Ashley got in with her, and held Natalie between her legs. Despite her youthful appearance, Ashley had a very nice body. Turning in the taller girl's arms, Natalie reached up and put her tiny hand on Ashley's breast, and began rubbing her nipple with her thumb.
Ashley lay back and moaned, her eyes half shut. "Oh honey...you have no idea how long I've been waiting for that."
There were...logistical problems with making love to someone almost a foot taller than you were, but as Natalie continued, she 'recalled' having worked those out by now. She'd become quite good at pleasing her lover. At some point, they left the bath and continued in the bedroom they shared, and she continued relentlessly until Ashley passed out, snoring in a way that Natalie found adorable.
She cuddled in her lover's arms, and forgot all about her old life. So what if she was a child and would have to grow up again? She was with the woman she loved, and all was right in the world.
Later...
