Rouge The Bat: Mature Goddess

Rouge and Tom have been married for twenty six years and seven months
as of this chapter.

---------------------------------------------------------


"Come in!"

Rouge turned the knob, stepping into the apartment. Cytheria was
planted on the couch, wearing little more than her bra and panties.
"Thanks for getting dressed up for company!" she commented.

"What?" The echidna girl shrugged. "Shadow doesn't have to wear pants."

"Right..." Rouge opened her purse. "I discussed it with Tom. He said
his father would spin in his grave if he helped fund a porn site."

Cytheria sipped her beer. "So no cash?"

She pulled a check out. "Actually, Tom doesn't care what his father
would have wanted..."

"Oh wow!" Cytheria commented. "Five thousand... Shadow went out to get
a new hard drive and such... that's costing us a lot."

"When's the site open?" Rouge asked.

"Next week. Just gotta get the server open and the payment processing
ready. You... given any thought to being part of it?"

"I'll pass," she said. "As fun as it might be, I don't think Tom will
go for being video taped and put online."

Cytheria tossed the can away. "You even ask him?"

"I-" Rouge paused. "I didn't... okay, maybe I'll run it by him, but..."

"You don't want to. That it?"

She nodded. "I'm getting too old. Today's my forty-fifth birthday.
Tom's getting the party ready. You can come if you want."

"I'll see if I can drag Shadow out of the house. Okay, no deal on
being on the site. But..." She gave Rouge a look. "If you and your
husband ever want a private three-way, let me know."

Rouge looked away. "Sorry, but I'm not really interested in Shadow
anymore and I don't think Tom would-"

"Not Shadow... I meant with me." The echidna smiled. "Come on, you
can't say you haven't thought about being with another woman!"

"I- um..." She was trapped. "Maybe... briefly... wait, why are you
so interested?"

"DUH!" Cytheria explained, "I'm doing girl-on-girl for the site.
Shadow films it while we get it on. Sometimes, he joins in. And he
told me about time time he fucked your mom. He said if you want to
nail me for payback, he's cool with it."

Rouge was intrigued. "That does sound tempting... I'll keep it in mind.
Who knows, maybe I'll feel a bit more adventurous someday. I would
like to bring new ideas into my love life while I still can. But
not right now. Listen, I'm going to leave. The party's at the casino.
Look at it this way. Free food."


---------------------------------------------------------

The party was alive. Club Rouge was closed down for the private birthday
party, as it was every year. June sat off with her child, away from
the noise, but everyone else was enjoying themselves. The twins sorted
through a stack of unwrapped gift paper, tying the bows neatly into
pretty strings.

Cytheria approached, in the nicest clothing she owned, which was her
work uniform. "Here. Shadow got this for you."

"Oh?" Curiously, Rouge undid the paper. Inside was an old artifact,
lined with jewels. "It's... very nice. Something he found in old ruins,
I'm guessing... not likely to find THIS in a store. Where is he?"

"We had stuff to get done," she said, though Rouge knew she meant that
Shadow didn't feel like showing up.

"I see." Rouge said, "tell him I love it."

The kitchen door kicked open, held by two employees, allowing Teal to
push out the cart. The cake was large, multiple layers, enough for
everyone to have a piece. Candles burned, inviting Rouge to blow them
out. Forty-five candles. "Little much, don't you think?"

"I would think a tough woman like you can handle it, mom!" Teal
said jokingly. The crowd cheered as Rouge blew the candles out, one by
one, and began to cut the cake. "Ooh, strawberry cake!" Teal took over,
cutting slices to pass onto plates for everyone in attendance.

"Damn, this is good cake!" Knuckles commented, shoving it into his
mouth.

"It had better be," Slate remarked, "it was made with fruit we grow."

Rouge found Tails, sitting with his lab assistant. "I see you found a
guest to bring along..."

"Rouge, you know Sarah," he replied.

"I do... so, wedding bells anytime soon?"

Tails became fidgety. "HUH?"

"Oh, come on," she blurted out, "you two aren't professional."

"She knows," Sarah said. "We've been dating for two years. Officially."
The blonde, human woman adjusted her glasses.

"I don't want to keep it secret," Miles explained, "but the scientific
community doesn't look too well on humans dating non-humans. I don't
want her career ruined." He took a drink of fruit punch. "... or mine."

"I see... well, you two have fun." She left them alone, joining
her husband.

"Happy birthday," he greeted.

She nuzzled against him. "It is..."


---------------------------------------------------------

The treadmills ran at medium, the two jogging steadily, sweat dripping
off their bodies. "I think I'm starting to feel my age," Thomas
remarked.

"Funny, I'm not," Rouge responded, increasing the speed.

He said, "don't push yourself. You don't need to keep up with
teenagers."

"Screw that," she shouted. "I'll stop when I'm dead."

Finishing their exercise, the two headed for their room. The twins
were asleep, Teal and Slate out for the night, and June and Tiff were
busy with their child. No one to concern themselves with or bother
them.

They lay on the bed, cooling down. Sweat messed up the sheets. Rolling
over, Tom's nose began to sniff, digging deep into her fur along
her neck. "What are you doing?" she asked.

"I don't know... I don't smell anything, but-"

"I must be putting out pheromones," the bat commented. Her human husband
was keen to them, having become adjusted to her scent over the
decades. She felt his bare chest. "Want to work out some more? Our own
special exercise routine?"

"You lead," he said.

Taking his hand, she slid it up into her sports bra. "Play with my
nipple." He began to pinch it slowly. "Wait..."

"What?" He stopped.

"Tom, I-" Rouge's eyes closed. "You know I have a sexual nature that
causes me to be curious."

He said, "big deal."

"Well," she continued, "I was just wondering... how far would you
support me if I got some new ideas? I mean-" Rouge considered telling
him about Cytheria's offer, but she let it go.

He asked, "you were thinking about doing something for Shadow's porn
site, right?"

"Maybe. I don't want to be filmed and put online, but I have been
curious about someone watching."

Tom said, "let me guess... you went to give them the check this morning,
and..."

"Cytheria made an offer. She knows about Shadow and my mother. Shadow's
idea, but he wouldn't be there. I guess he thinks that allowing us
to have sex with his girlfriend makes up for what he did. Not that
it would, but..."

"I gotcha." Hugging her close, Tom remarked, "listen, we've been
together a long time. We're aging. We'll soon be too old for this.
It's okay to be thinking these things."

"Thanks." Rouge pulled her bra off. "I think, though... I'll have to
turn her offer down. There's being experimental, and then there's
a time when it's no one's god damn business but our own."

"I'm proud of you." Kissing her, he added, "if you ever do decide to
do something new, I'll want to be there, so long as it's not something
too out there. But don't think you have to do something if you don't
want to."

She grabbed his pants, edging them down. "Sounds good. Right now...
I want to watch your eyes roll back into your head. I want your
cock to explode inside of me. I want you to squeeze my tits!" Pushing
a finger down into Tom's foreskin, she fondled him, his sensitive
dick stiffening quickly. Dropping her pants, she mounted her
lover, dick sliding inside with her legs wrapped around, the couple
sitting upright on the edge of the bed. Sweat mixed, their bodies
slippery.

Thrusting upward gently, he enjoyed the warmth. "If it matters, this
feels as good as it did when you were eighteen..."
