Chapter 2: Building Tension
The phone rang in the kitchen and Maria went to answer. It was her landlord, letting her know that he would be there in a few minutes for a check of the property. She paled and hung up the phone, trembling.
Tom had walked out behind her.
"what's wrong, Maria?"
Tom asked, concerned as he watched her pace frantically around the living room.
"ohhh, the landlord is coming!" She gulped, her heart pounding wildly in her chest. "He doesn't know about you yet!"
"Me? What are you talking about?" Tom asked, confused.
"No official paperwork was signed when you moved in and now he's here checking everything. If he finds out, we'll get kicked out!"
"Alright, alright, just calm down and let me hide somewhere.
" Tom snapped, grabbing Maria's arm and pulling her close. "You can't let him see me."
"Oh, no, that won't work," Maria cried, glancing out the window at the landlord's approaching figure. "He'll definitely notice you're here. You'll need to hide somewhere he won't look."
She quickly scanned the room, her eyes darting from corner to corner. There were not a lot of large places to hide.
She looked down at herself, noticing that her dress went all the way to the floor plus a few inches.
It was perfect. She turned to Tom, who was still watching her nervously. Suddenly, an idea struck her.
"Quick," she whispered, pulling him gently towards her. "Hide under my dress."
Tom raised an eyebrow skeptically as he looked down at himself, unsure if such a plan would actually work. Maria gave him a reassuring nod, motioning for him to step closer. "Here," she instructed, lifting the heavy fabric and swaying it from side to side.
Grasping the hem of her dress, she carefully parted it, revealing a gap big enough for Tom to slip under. Hesitating only for a moment, he crouched low and scuttled underneath the voluminous skirt, his heart pounding with anticipation.
"Careful," Maria cautioned, lowering herself to the ground and easing the weighty dress down over Tom's hiding spot. "Don't breathe too loudly.
Here, put your arms and legs through the straps and I'll pull them through, then you can move with me. I'll help."
She started to grab his legs and put them around her front.
"Wait!" He cried, realizing too late he was facing her groin, dick and big balls swinging towards his face. He scrambled to grab onto the straps before his head hit the floor.
"Shush, it'll be okay, " she whispered.nshe finished pulling his hands through the straps and tied them, pulling her skirt down underneath.
"Now stay quiet!"
Maria implored, securing the final strap amd tying it off. He nodded silently, his face uncomfortably close to the head of her cock. Taking a deep breath, Maria rose to her full height, her dress billowing around her like a giant cloud. She adjusted the straps one last time, ensuring they were secure and wouldn't betray Tom's presence.
There was a knock on the door and Maria's pulse quickened. Gathering her courage, she approached the entrance, her heart thumping in her chest. The landlord's stern voice echoed through the hallway.
"Maria," he barked. "I heard strange noises coming from your apartment. Mind if I take a look inside?"
Taking a deep breath, Maria summoned every ounce of composure she possessed. "Of course, please come in," she responded calmly as she swung the door wide open.
The intruder's face contorted in surprise as he surveyed the room, his gaze settling on Maria. Her dress swung elegantly, concealing Tom's concealed form. Tom tried to breathe quietly and inhaled a potent cloud of horse musk.
Stepping aside, Maria allowed the landlord to enter the apartment, her heart pounding with trepidation. He walked in slowly, looking around and heading for the hallway where the bedrooms were.
"Is someone else staying here with you, Maria?" he asked suspiciously.
"Why?" she countered defensively. "Can't I invite friends over? Is there a rule against inviting friends over?"
"Not exactly," grumbled the landlord, walking further into the apartment. "But things have gotten a bit noisy around here lately. And I don't like surprises."
Sweat trickled down Maria's forehead as she followed the landlord into the hallway, doing her best to remain composed. He stopped abruptly in front of her bedroom, causing Maria to stumble. Her cock brushed over Tom's face and she shivered. She hadn't thought about him being that close to her before.
Not this close. This was supposed to be a quick solution and now it was taking forever.
"You should really consider tidying up this place," he said, the living room is a bit messy, though your room looks okay."
"I know, thank you," she answered, shifting her stance uncomfortably.
He moved on to the second bedroom, and Maria realized with horror that he would see someone had been staying in the room. She tried to step ahead of him but the hallway wasn't big enough.
Once again, the landlord stopped abruptly in front of the second bedroom. Maria startled again from the motion, following too closely,and stumbling forward, her cock shoved into Tom's restrained mouth.
Tom took a sharp breath, trying to keep quiet, and Maria made a small gasp. Tom's tongue felt amazing, but she couldn't focus on that. She had to get her landlord out of there.
Now. And then she saw the stereo system at the other end of the room.
"Do you want to listen to music?" she asked brightly, turning toward the landlord. "I have some great tunes on vinyl if you'd like to hear them."
The landlord hesitated, squinting at her dubiously. "Is there something in this bedroom you don't want me to see?"
Maria's adrenaline spiked and she felt her dick swelling in Tom's throat. This couldn't be happening.
Tom tasted bitter pre-cum and smelled horse musk, Maria's hot hard member consuming his senses. He never thought this would happen, but was starting to get aroused despite himself. He could still breathe at the moment, but for what he knew about centaurs, he expected Maria's cock to keep growing.
At least, they were usually bigger than humans. That would make it impossible for him to escape from under her dress, especially since Tom was secured with the straps. The situation was becoming increasingly intimate, and it began to dawn on him that he might not make it out of this predicament without experiencing something utterly unexpected.
The landlord opened the door to Tom's bedroom.
At first glance, his face darkened with suspicion. "This is clearly occupied," he growled accusingly. "Who is in here?"
Maria hesitated, her nerves firing on overdrive. Swallowing hard, she managed to muster a nonchalant reply. "It's nothing serious, just a friend visiting. He's just sleeping in there. Don't worry, he's completely harmless."
The landlord eyed her warily, unconvinced by her casual dismissal. "And why didn't you inform me more people were staying here?
