“I know your scent there, court mage,” it said with a deep, rumbling voice. “Show yourself,” it snarled shakily. “You saw every bit of my shame, now show yourself!”

Her heart raced, but she broke through the thick ice of fear and approached the edge of the clearing. The beast’s ears perked up as it lifted its head from the ground, and they twitched as Riela finally stepped out into the moonlight. She lowered her hood as she slowly came closer, eyes remaining on it.

The were-chimera was a lot larger in person, and its eyes were like staring into two bright blue flames, but its scent was what really caught her senses. It was a strong, musky smell, almost like a rutting minotaur, and it made her dizzy. Its long, reptilian tail twitched nervously as she remained silent while retaining her composure. Her heart and mind continued to race, and she rested a hand on her waist pouch as it eyed her carefully. It then looked away from her with its eyes closed.

“So you’ve finally come to end me…” it trailed off, a slight tremble in its lip before returning its gaze. “Do what you must. Don’t let my village suffer any longer…”

Its scent was driving her mad but she continued to retain her composure, distracting herself with other thoughts like how she was now face-to-face with this large, unknown beast, but she did know who they were. She resisted the urge to fidget and pursed her lips then pouted, putting her hands on her hips. She raised her flustered voice and said, “Y-you owe me an apology, Khadi!”

His ears perked up, but then his face contorted once he registered what she said. “Huh?”

“Pushing me like that, how dare you!”

“O-oh— I—”

“That really hurt, you know!”

She kicked up snow, leaning forward as she continued to pout. His ears flattened and he retreated from her.

“I- I’m sorry, I had to,” he avoided her gaze. “I was in pain an—”

He continued to retreat from her, fear gripping him. She pursed her lips and furrowed her brow, but after a small pause she sloped her shoulders and sighed. Her heart finally calmed down as she shook her head to give her mind pause, and then she took another forward. He finally stopped retreating from her, looking away.

“I’m sorry.”

“I know.”

“And I’m sorry for what you saw back there.”

“I… will keep my own opinions to myself about it.”

There was an awkward silence between them and then Khadi bowed his head, lying further into the snow. Despite his scent, she took a step closer. He didn’t move. He looked back at her when she crouched down to his side, but a pit feeling formed in his stomach and he had to look away. He pursed his black lips, wincing.

“I never wanted to hurt anyone, or anything,” Khadi whispered. “But these urges I have, I’ve grown accustomed to them as this damned werewolf… and it scares me! I don’t even know where I’m originally from… this village… is all I know and love.”

She reached out to him and he flinched, but when she softly rubbed his furry back the tension in his muscles loosened.

“You’re not a werewolf, Khadi,” she said. “You’re a were-chimera.”

“What does it matter, it’s all the same…” he said woefully.

“No, you’re something entirely new,” she began. “Even though you’re affected by the moon, what I found in the mage’s watchtower—”

“So you saw my rampage…”

She frowned. “I’m here to help you, okay?”

He paused, looking down. “… Okay.”

“And what I saw in the mage’s watchtower… it happened because you were a prisoner there, remember?”

He put a hand over his eyes and grit his sharp teeth. “It’s no excuse for killing someone! Anyone! It only makes me even more of a monster than I already am!”

She frowned and sat down by his side, crossing her legs. “Khadi…”

He shut his eyes tight and whined, looking away.

“How can I convince you that you’re not a monster?” Riela asked quietly.

“You can’t,” he said just as quietly.

“Will you let me?”

“I don’t know.”

She reached out to him, putting a hand on his warm back again, and he fell into her soft touch. She paused for a long time, thinking up what to mention or what words to comfort him with. During that time he laid there, sighing deeply as she continued to pet him. She composed herself once she finally found the right words to say.

“A monster wouldn’t show remorse for its actions. It would enjoy tearing apart its victims, and gladly partake in all sorts of cruelty without a care for who or what is at its mercy. Those are true monsters.”

He remained quiet but let her continue to pet his back. “I’m scared.”

“I know.”

“What if these urges I have become worse? What if I repeat the past?”

She knit her brow, her heart sinking lower, but she continued to soothe him. “But have they really gotten worse?”

He paused for a long time.

“… No,” he admitted, but he remained anxious. “But, what if they do?”

She pouted, sighing. “You’re strong-willed, Khadi, and the past is the past. You’ve made a new life for yourself and haven’t hurt anyone since then.”

“But—”

“If this is about the cattle, then you can tell me in your own words why you went after them.”

He went quiet for some time.

“I was… hungry. Very hungry,” he obscured his face with his hands. “As if I were starving to death. I tried to live off game in the woods, but it wasn’t enough. I needed more.”

“And yet you also somehow knew what to go after all this time.”

“I don’t know how I did, I just… somehow knew. It was in the way they moved and smelled, and looked…” His hands tightened around his face. “But this time it’s different… my urges aren’t—”

“It will be okay,” she calmly reassured him. “As I said, I’m here to help you.”

She reached down into her potions pouch and pulled out the small vial of wolfsbane.

“Try this to see if it will work.”

His ears perked up again and he moved his hands away from his face. He stared at the silver-blue liquid for a long time, almost as if he were admiring its glow in the moonlight, but then he looked away again, as if he feared looking up past the bridge of his nose.

“I don’t know what that is.”

“It’s wolfsbane, it cures lycanthropy.”

He remained silent.

As if to further convince him, she leaned in and said, “I made it myself, so I know it’s not poison.”

His ears slowly perked up. “But, is it really that easy?” he asked hopefully. “All I have to do is drink a potion?”

She nodded. “There may be side effects… it’s different for everyone, but it should work.”

The “may” and “should” obviously made his expression change. She looked away for a moment as she tried to find the right words to say, and while composing herself she finally said, “Even if it doesn’t work, we’ll find another way.”

He seemed convinced when he quietly asked, “How long does it normally take for it to work?”

“A few hours, unfortunately.”

He sighed deeply. “Okay, I’ll still try it.”

She handed him the small vial and he let it sit in his large hand for some time. His mind and heart raced, but then he sat up, looking down at her, and frowned.

“What’s wrong?”

“My hands are too large to open it,” he said sheepishly.

“Oh! Let me get that for you.”

She took back the vial and uncorked it for him. Her touch was electric to him, and her enticing scent lingered on the bottle as he held it up. He focused on the bright liquid, heart pounding hard. He carefully tilted his head back and let the cold, silver liquid trickle down into his throat until the vial was empty. Once he finished it off, he furrowed his brow and looked over at her.

“It has no taste,” he said.

“Good!”

“I was expecting something terrible…”

She laughed a little. He looked to his side.

“And I… don’t really feel any different.”

“It’ll take a while for it to take effect,” she grimaced. “Hopefully.”

He frowned and moved away. His buzzing, warm scent also moved away with him and it gave her mind a sense of clarity, but it also left her cold. She huddled herself up in her cloak and he quickly noticed.

“Are you cold?” he asked.

“Quite so,” she said with a shiver. “But, I’ll be fine.”

She took out her lantern and opened it up. With her free hand, she silently willed a small ball of magical fire into existence on her index finger’s fingertip, then she gently poked the candle inside the lantern until the wick accepted the flame. He watched with fascination.

“You’re very skilled with magic.”

“Oh, this? It’s nothing, really,” she said with a smile while waving a hand dismissively. “Anyone can conjure up a flame!”

“Not me,” he said while pacing on all fours. “But then again, I was never the magic type… I think.”

“Want me to teach you?” she asked, smiling.

He continued to pace, but looked up at the moon as he thought. “No, I’ll probably burn myself trying…”

“I’m sure you wouldn’t,” she said. “But I understand your concerns.”

“I also, uh, prefer using my hands more.”

She hummed a little in acknowledgment and he eventually went quiet to continue pacing. She closed her eyes and held the lantern closer to her, feeling warmth return to her body and face.

“Aren’t you also cold?” she asked out of the blue.

“I’m fine.”

After some time, she re-opened her eyes and saw that he was sitting down on his hind legs staring at the moon. She tilted her head and furrowed her brow as his tail twitched nervously.

“What’s wrong?”

“… Impatient,” he said without looking at her. “I don’t know what to expect.”

“It… varies,” she said. “Some people will feel nothing and revert back to their original form, others may feel slightly unwell, and then…”

He braced himself.

“Some may feel excruciating pain.”

His stomach dropped like a log, but he still persisted in knowing more. “Is there anything else I should know?” he asked quietly. “What about the side effects?”

“Those vary too,” she said while folding her fingers. “I don’t know all of them since I didn’t fully study lycanthropy in college. I only know a few: headaches, nausea, mood swings, fever, the chills… but the worst ones are temporary blindness, hair loss, diarrhea, and—”

“Never mind, I shouldn’t have asked,” he said nervously.

“Sorry,” she said quietly. “I should have told you before giving it to you.”

“It’s not your fault.”

She looked over at him and saw that he was still staring at the moon. It made her wonder what he was thinking— possibly all sorts of worries, but she was more curious about how much he kept staring at the moon. She didn’t feel like asking, at first, and instead retreated into the recesses of her mind to think about the crucial points she learned about lycanthropy from school: the victims are cursed to undergo a painful transformation during a full moon into wolfish creatures stricken by an endless hunger. The levels of wolfishness and hunger varies depending on who suffers the curse, and the hunger isn’t always about food— her eyes shifted about and her face flushed when she remembered what happened earlier.

She glanced at him and saw that he had not moved at all, sitting there as still as a statue. She looked away and dug through her mind again to see if she could find anything involving moon fixations, but she couldn’t remember. She stared up at the moon in hopes that it would jog her memory, but she bit her thumb when her mind continued to draw a blank. She sighed and then decided to strike up some conversation with him, and learned that he really couldn’t remember anything beyond a year ago, and how he spent those three years living a blur.

“Someday you’ll remember, I believe,” she reassured.

“I think it’s better if I didn’t.”

“… Sorry.”

“Not your fault.”

She looked around, but then finally said, “What I meant was, someday you’ll remember who you are.”

His tail curled up and then relaxed. “I hope so, too.”

They ended up talking about a few other things, ranging from her studies and travels to his own short adventures, learning that he’s traveled outside of Eribus to Kvannu before to run a few errands, but it was also to hide any suspicion.

“I’m forever in their debt, but,” he paused. “I don’t know how long I can live with this deceit. I want to run away but I can’t.”

She frowned hard, looking over at him. “They care about you.”

“But would they still feel that way knowing what I am?”

“I believe they will.”

“And you’re going to have to eventually report it to the court.”

“I know.”

“What will happen to me?”

“The court would rule your attacks against the mages an act of self-defense,” she said lightly. “So nothing will happen to you.”

“Are you sure?”

“I am sure, and,” she paused to clear her throat. “The mages would have been executed anyways for what they did to you.”

She saw that her words didn’t bring him any relief. She sighed.

“You’re going to be okay, Khadi,” she cooed. “I’ll make sure of it.”

He remained silent.

“And I’m sure the villagers would understand,” she continued. “In their words, they just don’t want any more trouble.”

“It’s hard.”

“I know.”

He went silent again. A cold chill swept through the clearing and she looked away to hold her lantern tighter. She then noticed that the forest was still very silent; not even an owl made noise here. It made her shudder. She looked back at him and noticed he was breathing heavily, mist pouring out of his maw. She knit her brow.

“Khadi?”

He didn’t answer.

“Khadi,” she said again, but with her voice slightly raised. “Is everything all right?”

“I can feel it,” he said. “I can feel it.”

“The wolfsbane?” she asked hopefully.

It was almost as if he couldn’t take his eyes off of the moon. His lip trembled and his ears flattened.

“The hunger… the frenzy, it’s coming back…”

He continued to breathe slowly but his chest rose higher and more heavily the further he went into his lunar trance. Her heart sank and anxiety boiled in her gut. She quickly stood up, but she cautiously approached him. She reached out to touch him, but then froze when he slowly looked at her. His thoughts were scattered as his heart pounded wildly.

“Riela,” he said shakily. “I’m scared.”

“I know you are, but—”

“I don’t think it’s working, the wolfsbane, I think— I think it made things worse—!”

She backed away as Khadi snarled, shivered and rose, gripping himself tightly while pressing his knees together. A strong wave of heat pulsed through him.

“This frenzy… oh… this one is different… It’s not food… I want… It’s… I-I need… urgh…”

The hot musk returned again and it made her stiflingly warm. She further backed away as Khadi growled, but her eyes ended up looking downward, and with morbid fascination she watched his rose-colored cock peek out from its furry sheath. It pulsed and oozed hot pre, which made her highly aware of her own hot face and hot breath. She furrowed her brow as her mind raced with obscenities, and she struggled to power through them to make sense of things until her thoughts finally clicked. She was finally able to tear her eyes away from the sight. She whispered something to herself, but when she noticed his ears perk up she gasped and heavily blushed, looking away.

“Khadi?” she called out. She paused and bit her lip as she stared at the ground. “I-I think I know how to help.”

She couldn’t resist any longer; as obscenely large as it was, his cock was enticing and soon she found herself coming closer. Khadi’s shivering muscles bulged as he tightened his grip around himself, and it was as if he were frozen in place while she approached him. Riela calmly asked Khadi to rest himself against a tree.

“What are you going to do?” he asked.

“I want you to focus on me,” she said while approaching him carefully. “The longer you stare at the moon, the more you’ll go into a rut, so I want you to… relax and focus on me. I’ll… do something for you.”

“Like what?”

She remained silent. Realizing her intentions he looked away from her, face flushed.

“N-no that’s— you don’t have to do that for me!”

“It’s okay,” she reassured, putting her hands out. “It’ll be okay.”

After more convincing, Khadi eventually listened to her and got himself as comfortable as he could manage against the tree. She slowly approached him, letting out a steamy breath to retain her composure, and then finally she made her way between his legs. Riela disrobed her cloak, revealing her shapely figure again which was accentuated by her tight-fitting, white, knit-wool top and black, leather pants. He was now unabashedly immobilized by her beauty but couldn’t find the words to vocalize them, and so he remained silent while she moved around.

She placed the lantern away from them and sat on her knees, sitting at eye level with the chimera’s throbbing, eager cock. Even while seated, Khadi had to gaze down to look at her. Her stomach tensed up at the sight of his attentive blue eyes and she looked away, focusing on the faint light stripes of his, as she could finally tell, juniper-green fur. She shifted about using his thickly-muscled thigh for support and could feel the taut tension from her soft touch. She looked up at him with a gentle gaze.

“It will be okay, just… relax,” she cooed.

She massaged his tense thigh until he finally relaxed, his cock now standing fully erect. She took off her gloves and reached out to his cock, letting out another shaky, misty breath when the strong musk squeezed her mind. Both of them reacted heavily when she made contact with his cock. There was a pause, and then she finally went to work.

She slowly tugged it down, letting her delicate hands slide around near the knot. Khadi’s pounding heartbeat radiated throughout every bump and ridge along the shaft. Suddenly he twitched and made a noise, and then she looked down to see a large gush of pre push out of his cock and through her fingers. Her eyes flashed and she curiously stroked the long, thick shaft, tracing its veiny outlines with both hands. The cock’s girth was too large for her to grip with one hand and so with both hands she slowly slid up and down his length.

He growled deeply in his throat and clutched the snowy ground with his sharp claws. He bucked his hips lightly as she began stroking faster but slowed to a stop when she returned to a gentle massage. Riela carefully moved a hand downward to caress his soft, furry jewels below the pulsating knot and he made a sound of approval. She returned to slowly pumping the shaft as she gently fondled him below to elicit a pleasant growl.

“Does that feel good?” she asked.

“Haa…” was all he could manage out.

Her tight-fitting knit top brushed against her erect, sensitive nipples, and she grew wet and hot as the beast writhed in her grasp. Khadi shivered with delight as she kissed the underside while stroking the top of his cock, moving her kisses close to the tip until another shudder pushed out more pre onto her face. She felt the wet, sticky fluid hit her lips but didn’t pull away, using her tongue to spread the lube across the rest of his length as she massaged his cock’s knot.

Khadi winced as she touched his cock tip again with her delicate fingers, circling her index finger closer to the hole in the tip. The hole was almost big enough for her to to insert a finger, but for now she continued to tease him while she kissed the knot at the base. She was pleased when he whined and growled when she let a fingernail slip in and gently scrape inside the hole. He tensed a knee up and clawed the ground with all fours, a fog surrounding him. She finally moved her soaked fingers away from the cock tip and felt his muscles relax.

His tongue hung out as pleasure swam through his mind, and she herself was wrapped up in her lust. She pulled up her sleeves and began stroking and kissing his cock more passionately, making him turn his head to the side. She felt something brush between her legs and her eyes darted at the ground to see his tail flopping about. She grew suspicious and kissed his cock again, and then gasped as the tail flopped to slide in between her legs. She stopped to look up at him, seeing no change in his gaze, and softly slid her legs apart to let it pass through. The tail elicited a moaning gasp from her as it rose against her warm, wet groin in a fluid, wave-like motion. She blushed and stopped, letting his cock flop down onto her breasts.

“What— what are you doing?”

Khadi remained calm as he flicked his tail again. “Returning the favor,” the beast croaked. “Unless you—”

She felt the tail lay deathly still, making her wet slit tingle madly.

“No, no, it— ah— it felt good,” her words grew more frantic as her body shook. “Keep, please, k-keep going…”

Her buxom chest rose as a moan escaped her lips when she felt another soft wave rise below, pushing her legs further apart. She pumped the beast’s cock while grinding against his tail with small, wispy breaths. Khadi moaned with pleasure and let a leg weakly fall to the side. The tail rose once more and she gasped out another moan as it lifted her up in a wave. Her body was stiflingly warm and she hastily removed her top and bra, wincing as the cold slapped her bare lilac skin. She placed her arms underneath her large breasts as she returned to pump the length of his cock.

A chill flew through the forest to assault her bare skin but what made her jump was when the bliss-ridden beast protected her from the cold with his warm-padded paws. He pulled her closer to his cock, her breasts knocking against it sensually. She arched her back, pressing close to Khadi’s cock and started pumping it again with her hands. The extra stimulation made Khadi tense up, hearing her panting moans of pleasure as her nipples brushed the ridges and veins of his pulsing cock.

His tail thumped against her wet slit as she thrust her clit against its bumpy texture. Khadi bucked his hips in time with her pumping as she pressed her body closer to his cock. He let out a lowly howl as she pushed his cock against his abdomen, madly moaning, kissing and licking the underside while fondling the tip and knot. She felt the rumbling in his chest as she quickened her pace, pumping the shaft below the head while firmly planting a kiss against the mid-section. The tail lifted her higher until her knees were no longer touching the ground and she cried out while grinding in time with her blurred pumping.

Suddenly, the stimulation proved too much and she let out a moaning gasp, arching her back as she came, her inner walls twitching and convulsing wildly. She squeezed her breasts against his throbbing cock and he shook at the knees, grinding his cock against them. She felt his hands tense up against her back and his cock throb more angrily.

“Ah-ah… I’m going to, I’m ah, a—” Khadi’s words fell into a howl and he gently shoved her away against his thigh.

His knot inflated and he firmly gripped onto his shaft, pumping wildly with a feral moan. With one final thrust he held onto his cock, pointing it ahead as he strained his neck upward. She watched in amazement as his cock pulsed and burst out a rope of hot thick cum into the snow. She bit her lip and her eyes widened, feeling her face grow hot again at the sight. She was more than thankful that he didn’t let himself burst his seed onto her like one of her orc exes; she shuddered at the thought.

His abdomen continued to twitch as he held his head low, breathing raggedly. His cock continued to drip out cum until it lost volume and drooped in his hand. He let go of his cock and pressed his head against the tree, relaxing enough to where she felt the tension in him fully subside. She sighed in relief, catching her own breath. She then smiled and patted his chest lightly which made a smile creep across his face.

“Did that help?”

“I…” he began without looking at her. “Yes.”

She smiled again. Khadi caught his breath as he watched her redress, feeling his furry stomach down to his lower abdomen to comfort himself. His eyelids eventually grew heavy, and then he slowly nodded off. She sighed and smiled again at the sight, but then eyed him when she noticed his cock hadn’t slipped back into its sheath. She thought nothing of it at first and then reached for her cloak.

He finally stirred after some time, eyes darting away from the moon to prevent another rut. He then looked down at the warmth pressed against his body to see Riela cozied up against him with her lantern. They exchanged smiles and she looked away. He was about to look away himself until something caught his eye, which is when he noticed that his limp cock was still out. He frowned and looked away, face growing warm.

They both remained quiet for some time, but then Riela spoke up as another cold chill swept past them.

“I think it may snow again,” she said. “I know you may not want to, but we’ll eventually have to take shelter back in the village.”

“No,” he said. “I know of a place where we can go.”

“Hmm?”

“There’s an abandoned cabin out in the woods,” he said. “It’s where I go to hide away during these nights, or, well, at least try.”

She paused, then cocked her head to the side. “Was that you who ran past me the other night?”

“… Yes. I was… preparing.”

“I see.” She paused for a moment, and then finally stood up. “Shall we go then?”

He looked up at her, but then the moon peeking out from behind her caught his eye. His eyes widened and a pang shot through him. She had looked away and didn’t notice that he was still seated against the tree. He tried to look away, turning his head to the side and shutting his eyes, but it was if something had grabbed hold of his maw and forced him to look back up. He heavily breathed out hot, misty breaths, grabbing himself. She quickly turned on her heel when she heard him whine painfully, and put a hand over her mouth in shock as he fell over.

“Khadi?!”

She ran to his side, dropping her lantern into the snow to put her hands on him.

“Khadi, what’s wrong?!”

“I-I don’t know…”

She looked all around her, unsure what to do at first, but then she retained her composure.

“Maybe it’s the wolfsbane,” she said. “I think it might be finally working. Here, let me conjure up a hea—!”

She gasped as he pounced down onto her, growling ferociously and fiercely staring her down. Her eyes widened and her heart raced at the sight of his hulking figure completely obscuring the silver light above. She backed away, reciting a spell under her breath, but before she could finish, his expression shifted to one of shock. He quickly flung himself off of her and retreated.

“I’m so sorry! I— I don’t know what came over me!”

She sat up and placed a hand over her heart to calm her nerves.

“You stared up at the moon again, didn’t you?”

“I… I couldn’t help it,” he stammered out. “It’s as if it’s calling out to me…”

“Focus on me again,” she said while cautiously standing up and approaching him. “Don’t stare up at it or else you’ll go into another rut.”

It was already too late. His head slowly tilted upwards and his eyes flashed open as he stood up. She backed away and saw his cock growing and stiffening, dripping with need. He looked back down at her with a pained expression, whining, but he remained frozen, trembling. She let out a misty breath to steel her nerves as the musky scent returned, filling her head with heat and clouds.

“Focus on me, Khadi.”

“I—” he stumbled out. “I’m trying but—”

He took one step forward, staring back up at the moon.

“It’s not just that this time, it’s—” He looked at her, ears pressed back. “Your scent!”

Her eyes widened and she blushed. “I— I don’t know what to say, maybe I can—”

“No!” he looked away, taking a step back. “You’ve already done enough for me and—”

“I-it’s okay,” she said while taking another step forward. “It’ll be okay.”

He breathed raggedly, falling onto his knees. “It’s so strong this time, I’ve never felt like this before…”

She knit her brow as she approached him, both out of concern and from how the musk was making her body warm again. She reached out to him as he shut his eyes tight and clutched his head, growling and moaning deeply. His body was on fire, heart racing hard as he struggled to rein in his desires but his cock only throbbed more angrily. She touched him and he flinched, backing away.

“I’ll deal with it this time,” he said hastily. “I don’t want you to… urgh… don’t get too close—” He growled out a moan again, pre pushing out of his cock. “Your scent is so… so—!”

She backed away as he looked at her painfully. “Sorry!”

“You, er,” she began. “If you must know, you also have a— a scent to you as well…” she fidgeted. “And, well…”

He looked away from her and fell onto all fours, backing away even further. “Is it a horrible one?”

“No, it’s er—” she stopped and blushed. “I don’t know the right words to say.”

“Never mind then,” he struggled out to say. “I’ll deal with these urges myself this time.”

Before she could protest, he moved away from her and retreated into the woods. She stood there, watching him disappear into the darkness, and then pouted as she was left alone to suffer in the cold. She held her lantern close, unsure how to pass the time until he returned. She wondered when the wolfsbane would work, but her stomach sank thinking it may have not worked at all. She shook those thoughts away and thought more positively. She looked up at the moon, and then took out her pocket watch to check the time. Midnight. She looked back at the village, then at the forest. She sighed.

She knit her brow over how long it was taking him to return to her. Another soft yet chilling breeze passed through the clearing which made her hold her lantern closer to her bosom, and eventually she made her way into the woods to hide away from any more wind. She looked around her and finally saw a sign of life within the forest: a small, horned owl that flew away as soon as there was the sound of a loud crack coming from somewhere to her right. She didn’t jump like before, however, as if she were now accustomed to such a noise, and she decided to follow the sound. She looked down and followed Khadi’s footprints in the snow, following them until it rounded past a small rune stone jutting out of the snow. Her eyes trailed upwards as she heard a growl, and that’s when she finally saw him again.

His hand was a blur as he furiously masturbated in the same position as before, holding a tree for support. He grit his teeth in frustration as if he couldn’t satisfy his need for release. He then began rubbing his cock against the tree, and the force of his strength made it crack and lean away from him. He jumped when he finally noticed she was watching, and he hid himself while telling her to look away.

“I think it’s too late to be modest,” she said while pursing her lips.

He looked at her, and then at his cock, and then turned further away from her. “Is this a fetish of yours?” he asked rather curtly.

“No—! I—” she huffed out nervously. “I only wanted to check on you but you were—” She gestured with her hands but then let them fall to her side. She then cleared her throat and looked away with closed eyes, blushing. “You were taking a long time, is all.”

There was a long pause of silence between them as he stared at her, and then he finally looked away. She also looked away for a moment, hugging her lantern tight, but then looked back up at him as he spoke.

“I don’t know why I can’t satisfy this urge,” he said. “It’s almost as if the wolfsbane—” He slowly looked over at her with an obvious change in his expression. “And your scent is so—” he said while coming closer to her. “It’s so strong…”

She laughed a little, darting her eyes left and right as her face turned a darker shade of purple. “I’ll leave, then, if it’s only making things worse,” she said.

“No…” he said with an obvious change in his voice. “You wanted me to focus on you, so now you have my full attention.”

He padded towards her with a gleam in his eye, tail swishing behind him. She let out a hot breath as he came closer, his musk growing stronger and cock twitching harder. She fidgeted with the lantern then closed the space between them, head tilted upwards to make eye contact with him. When he got close enough she stroked his length, pushing his cock up against his abdomen and then letting it flop back down in its horizontal position. He backed her up into a tree, kneeling down to get a good look at her, and she closed her eyes and planted a peck against his muzzle.

She heard the sound of his tail thump and winced as the cold touch of his nose pressed against hers, but then a hot gust of thyme-scented air flew into her face and she felt a large, wet tongue licking her lips. Her ears twitched in reflex but she couldn’t pull herself away from him. She relaxed herself as well, welcoming the tongue by parting her lips into an oval-shape. Eventually, they moved away down onto the forest floor so that he could continue to explore her depths.

He took care to keep his hulking mass from crushing her as he gently pushed himself against her. She softly breathed as their tongues twisted together, pressing her bosom against his chest. He pushed her further down against the ground as her cloak blanketed her from the snow. Her heart pounded in her ears as she felt his massive cock grazing her knee, leaving a small trail of pre across it. Khadi’s tongue slid out of her mouth and she moaned again as the presence of hot air hit her neck. She mewled and gripped a handful of his chest fur as he gently nibbled her neck with his sharp teeth, licking and kissing her.

He pressed her arms into the snow as he continued further down. She felt his muzzle burying into her heaving breasts and her back arched in delight as he made his way underneath her top. She shook an arm to be let free and hastily pulled up her top to stop his horns from tearing the fabric. The cold was only momentary as his heat rolled off of him to lick her exposed midriff.

Before she could beg for what she wanted, he already took to playing with her soft, fleshy breasts, squeezing each of them gently with his paws and then with his long tongue. She moaned again and raised her arm to be recaptured by his strong hands, whimpering as the tongue flicked her sensitive nipples. Khadi knew it wasn’t the cold perking them up and he continued to play with them until she was a panting wreck.

He eventually moved downwards, but she stopped him by the muzzle and told him to do something for himself first. He breathed hard, surprised by her invitation for something new and he rose up to position himself closer to her breasts. She welcomed his cock in by pulling her breasts apart, then squeezing them against it as he slowly pushed through them, growling in his throat at the overwhelming stimulation. It was a feeling like no other, and his pent up need to penetrate something took over.

He placed his hands down into the snow, tail sloshing about as warmth pulsed throughout his body with every slow thrust. He grunted and growled as she kissed and licked the tip whenever he came close to her plump lips. She rubbed her breasts against his cock as he slowly pushed into them, letting out a guttural moan when she continued rubbing his cock down in an off-beat rhythm. He savored every bit of stimulation, keeping himself from looking up at the moon so that he can continue his slow pace, but the tingling lust danced around in his mind. He let out a hot breath as he quickened his pace, and she also quickened her pace, squeezing his throbbing cock even tighter. She grew wetter and hotter, breathing fast and moaning with every kiss planted on his cock.

He was almost near his limit but he pulled away from her before he could cum. His cock twitched and ached with need and he struggled to retain his composure. He shifted about, lowering himself down as he breathed in her pleasant aroma, but the aroma he wanted to breathe in was much lower. Her eyes widened as his nose nudged its way between her thighs, and realizing his intentions she shifted her legs apart, knees bending and mouth curving into an o-shape as he nuzzled against her pussy. He continued to breathe in her scent, his head swimming in all sorts of obscenities. The stimulation proved too much and her clumsy hands loosened her pants. She tore her soaked underwear down and pushed her hips up as she exposed her smooth, hot slit to him.

Khadi panted as her lusty demeanor triggered a rush of adrenaline through his body, his cock aching with need again, but that could wait and he accepted her invitation. She moaned in relief and pushed her legs further apart, tweaking her own nipples as she lost herself to lust. Khadi grunted as he felt the amazing warmth and soon lost himself in the smell of her depths. She heaved a sigh as he rolled his tongue against her folds, pushing it apart curiously. She quivered in ecstasy as her wetness trickled out of her twitching passage but then his tongue curled upwards to massage her clit. She occasionally flinched at the inexperienced roughness but mewled and quivered through it all, biting her right index finger.

She thrust herself up against him as he lapped her up like a hungry animal. He wiggled his tongue around and underneath her clit to hear her moan again, feeling her grinding against him. The tongue stroked along the inside of her lips from the clit down to her taint, eliciting another shudder from her as she gushed out more fluids. He lapped up more of her before breaking free for a moment to catch his breath. Her nipples were puffy and spent as she panted up at the night sky. He looked up at the sky as well, his eyes fixated on the moon again. Her stomach fell as she noticed Khadi’s shoulders began to droop, eyes flashing again as his twitching cock leaked pre.

“D-don’t stare at the moon,” she stuttered through her blurred, blushing lust. “F-f-fuck-fuck-cus- focus on me!”

Khadi snapped away from his trance to look back down at her. Riela worriedly beckoned him closer, repeating herself more clearly as she lovingly stroked his muzzle. Khadi finally seemed calm and nuzzled into her hand before returning his attention to her twitching pussy. She sighed and moaned as she felt his tongue exploring her depths with renewed vigor, pulling her hips higher to get more in. Suddenly she felt teeth grazing her soft stomach and looked down to see he had softly clamped down onto her. She fidgeted as he pushed against her, but as he gently pressed her arm down she calmed herself, letting her muscles relax.

Khadi slid his tongue into her opening, feeling the wondrous muscles contract and tighten around it. Her inner passage took in the tongue’s full length and she arched her back fiercely as it wriggled inside of her. It was not too big but still had a satisfying girth to it that left sensations buzzing in her clit. The tight fit made Khadi’s senses run wild, unable to pull away as he panted into her. She softly humped against his muzzle, moaning and panting endlessly.

Khadi felt a burning sensation press inside of his gut as he continued to explore her inner walls. Waves of her inner wetness hit his tongue like watery honey and drooled into his mouth. Swallowing hard, he moved his hands onto her hips, pushing her up higher into the air, burying his tongue deeper between her. The sensation grew stronger as he glanced at the moon, digging deeper into her. She noticed the change in his vigor and mewled as his canines dug in enough to leave a mark but not enough to pierce her soft flesh. She was lost in her own throes of ecstasy, touching herself. She humped against his muzzle, crying out for release as his tongue lashed around quicker until her inner walls convulsed and tightened.

She threw her head back as she came and she let out a soft moan as her body arched in delight. Warm cum flowed and gushed against Khadi’s lapping tongue, pushing it out. He reveled in the scent and moaned into her as he started madly humping the air from the flow. She cried out and whimpered as he continued to lap up her cum, her puffy, overstimulated clit begging to be left alone.

After having his fill, Khadi gulped one last time and let her down gently. She caught her breath, satisfied, and rested her hands snugly across her breasts. Khadi hovered over her pensively before lifting himself up but she cooed at him to come lay with her. She felt his warm presence almost literally melting the cold away as he pulled her into his furry chest. He felt her soft hand sliding down from his chest to his sensitive cock which made him hum as she started to stroke him. She worked him quickly this time, squeezing his cock while she picked up the pace, and as he was about to cum he groaned, turned away from her and finally burst out his seed. He caught his breath, satisfied, and relaxed, returning to face her. She then asked, “Shall we go to the cabin now?”

After resting for some time, they finally sat up and she redressed. She huddled close to him as a strong gust of chilling wind flew through the trees, and he kept her close until it passed. She stood up while he remained on all fours, and then he invited her to climb onto his back, telling her that the cabin is very far from here.

She climbed onto his back and he then trotted off into a deep, dark area of the woods. She illuminated the area with her lantern just to see what was there, but all she saw were more snow-covered trees, snow-covered shrubs and hints of unknown shadows darting away from them. She kept a grip on his mane, asking him how long it would take for them to reach the cabin.

“Normally a half-hour, but I’ll hurry. Set your lantern away and hold on.”

She put her lantern away and barely had enough time to hold onto his mane as he ran at break-neck speed. She was in near-darkness as he ran, weaving through trees left and right. She gripped his mane tighter as she felt the world lean upward. After one small leap up the hill, they finally reached a small clearing where moonlight illuminated a small wooden cabin tucked between a cluster of trees.

Riela shivered as another gust of wind blew through the small clearing, and she slid off of Khadi’s back to huddle herself away beside him. When it passed, she looked up from him to get a better look at the wooden cabin, seeing a small snow-covered shed next to it, but they finally hurried away to the cabin’s entrance. The door was stuck— Khadi noted this happened a lot— and so he firmly pushed it open, cracking the frost surrounding its edges. Khadi’s large and imposing body had to skillfully squeeze inside of the cabin, and once inside Riela shut the door behind them.
