A/n: I saw someone on TikTok request a story like this, and it inspired me LOL. Vampire Bat!Hybrid Choso story here!
Shiu Kongâs farm was a quiet place. Until Bull Toji arrived.
The bull hybrid was massive, built like a warhorse with thick, corded muscle beneath dark hide and scars earned in too many fights. The gleaming silver septum ring in his nose had been ripped out more than once. He was a fuckinâ beast. He had no patience for fences, no respect for gates. Only Shiuâs firm voice kept him from tearing the whole damn barn down when his rut hit hard each season.
âGot ya somethinâ," Shiu had told him last week while Toji chewed lazily on an apple between blunt teeth. âPretty little cow hybrid." A smirk twisted Shiu's mouth as he leaned against the stall. âThought ya might wanna break her in before spring."
Toji hadn't answered. Just watched with half-lidded eyes as you were led into the barn, small and trembling under your new ownerâs grip. You smelled like fresh hay and fear, horns still stubby from youth but already curving sweetly beneath your tousled hair.
Now you stood frozen in the middle of his pen as Toji circled you slow, hot breath fogging against your nape while calloused fingers traced the dip of your waist.
âCute,â he rumbled at last, ââŚbut yer shakinâ. Ain't gotta be scared.â
Toji was used to the hard life, used to a world made hard and brutal by endless violence.
You were different. You were made soft, pliable by life in a cage. You still smelled like milk for godsake.
Your tail flickers when youâre anxious, swishing slow and uncertain behind you like a nervous afterthought.
He sees the way your thighs press together when you walk, plush and soft from easy living before Shiu bought you. Sees how your waist nips in just enough for his hands to span it completely before flaring out into hips meant for breeding.
A cow hybridâs body is made for this. Made to be mounted. Made to take whatever he gives.
And oh, does he love the little details of your appearance. The smudge of pink at your nose that darkens when you blush
The way milk still lingers sweet in the air. Even though no calf has ever suckled from those heavy tits yet.
âThat part,â he thinks with a smirk, â-heâll fix soon enough.â
Toji's eyes never leave you as he leans against the hay bales, broad shoulders dwarfing the stall. Shiu stands beside him on the outside of the fence, cigar dangling from his lips.
âWho sold her to ya," Toji mutters. âAnd how much did she cost?â
Shiu just shrugs, looking unbothered as ever. âThe breeder went broke. Needed cash."
Shiu steps into the pen, the gate creaking behind him. His fingers curl around your wrist first, yanking you forward without ceremony before turning you toward Toji like a prized heifer on auction day.
âGood hips," Shiu notes casually, his free hand palming the curve of your ass with a rough squeeze. âWide enough for easy birthinâ. Ainât had no calves yet, but that just means she's fresh."
He spins you around by your shoulders next, fingers tugging at one of your small horns to tilt your face up toward Toji. âTeeth are strong," he continues, thumb pressing against your bottom lip until you part them obediently. âNo issues chewinâ cud or takin' feed. Healthy."
He hooks two fingers into the neckline of your dress and yanks it down just enough to expose the heavy swell of your tits beneath. âSee?" Shiu grins at Toji over your shoulder. âAlready fillinâ out nice. Give âer a season or two under ya? She'll be leakin' milk on command."
Shiu exhales through his nose, rubbing the back of his neck as he eyes Toji with rare caution. âLook, I know ya like takinâ âem rough," he starts slowly, â-but she ain't built for that yet. Not like the seasoned broodmares ya usually get."
Tojiâs nostrils flare, a sharp huff of irritation, but Shiu doesnât back down. Instead, he jerks his chin toward the far corner of the barn where an old but sturdy breeding rack sits dusted off and waiting. Thick leather straps dangling from its frame to secure legs apart, padding along the bar where your belly would rest once bent over it.
âTwo days," Shiu says firmly. âLet âer get used to yer scent first. Feed from yer hand if ya have to. Or she won't survive your first knot."
Toji's silence is dangerous, a low rumble building in his chest before he finally snorts and turns away with a jerk of his head. âFine.â
Toji takes his time the following two days: getting you used to his scent, letting you feed from his hand like Shiu suggested.
He learns your habits like a hunter who knows his prey. Knows how your eyes flutter when he speaks. Knows how you flinch and shy away when he moves suddenly. Knows how he can make you tremble by leaning close. Knows how to make you whine just by touching the base of your tail.
And the entire time? You can smell his interest. His hunger.
Day three arrives with the sharp scent of antiseptic and oiled leather.
Shiu stands at your left, calloused hands guiding you toward the rack with ease.
The veterinarian, a no-nonsense woman with a stethoscope looped around her neck, adjusts the straps. Your hooves scuff against the wooden floor as they position you over the padded bar, belly-down, hindquarters raised obscenely high for Tojiâs access.
âEasy now," Shiu soothes. "Ain't gonna hurt more than it needs to."
Youâve heard stories. You know exactly what happens to cow hybrids on breeding racks when bulls like Toji mount them.
The vet fastens thick cuffs around your wrists first, then your ankles, each strap pulled snug enough to bruise before she steps back to assess her work. âGood pelvic tilt," she notes dispassionately. âWon't tear as easy."
Then she turns toward Toji, who has been watching all this from the corner like a silent storm cloud and gives a curt nod. âShe's ready."
Shiuâs fingers are rough as they grab the base of your tail, lifting it high with a firm tug. The sudden exposure makes you jerk against the restraints, but thereâs nowhere to go, no way to hide.
The vet hands Shiu a thin, braided rope, something used to keep tails out of the way during examinations. He loops it around your lifted appendage, securing it upward so nothing obstructs the view between your thighs.
Your cunt is on full display now: plush and swollen, already glistening with nervous arousal despite your fear. Cow hybrids drip when they are stressed. A biological cruelty that leaves you shamefully slick as Tojiâs shadow looms closer behind you. Your folds flutter under their assessing gazes, clenching around nothing while Shiu tsks and thumbs at your entrance like heâs testing fruit for ripeness.
âTight," he muses, â...but she's wet enough."
The vet hums in agreement before reaching down to spread you wider with two clinical fingers. âNo abnormalities," she declares. âVirgin passage is intact. Bull shouldn't have trouble sinking his knot once she's open."
Shiu doesnât waste time. With a grunt, he nudges Tojiâs shoulder, a silent command for the bull hybrid to step back just far enough for him to work.
Toji snorts in irritation but complies, his heavy-lidded gaze never leaving your trembling form strapped over the rack. Shiu grabs the industrial-sized pump bottle of lubricant from the vetâs tray.
âGotta make sure ya don't split her in half, Shiu mutters, squeezing a thick stream onto his palm before reaching between Tojiâs legs with zero ceremony.
He fists the bull hybridâs already-hard cock without warning, working the lube down his length with rough efficiency. Tojiâs hips jerk forward instinctively into the friction.
âFuckââ Toji growls, muscles tensing as precum beads at his tip and drips onto straw-littered floor below. âAin't gotta fuckin' mollycoddle it.â
Shiu ignores him, just keeps stroking until every inch of that monstrous erection gleams.
He finally steps aside with a slap against Toji's ass. âGo on then."
Toji doesnât slam into you right away, no, he teases first. The broad, flared head of his cock drags slow and deliberate between your plush folds, smearing your own slickness back against you.
He can feel how tight you are even at this shallow pressure, your walls already twitching in reflexive panic around nothing.
âFuckinâ choke on it already,â he growls. Even as the words leave his mouth, he rocks forward just enough for that fat tip to catch. It stretches your weeping hole wide for one glorious second before retreating again.
He wonât rush. Not when Shiu was right about how easily you might break. But that doesn't mean he'll be gentle either, just methodical. Heâs working that thick crown against your clenching hole over and over until the lube mixes with hybrid arousal and drips down your inner thighs.
You whimper as the first real press of his cockhead nudges against your entrance, burning with the stretch even through the lube. Instinct takes over before shame can. Your hips jerk in a weak attempt to twist away, hooves scrambling uselessly against the wooden rack.
Tojiâs grip on your waist tightens like a vice, claws biting in deep enough to draw pinpricks of blood. âNuh-uh," he growls. "Ain't runnin' from this."
And then, with one brutal roll of his hips, he sinks into you past that impossible rim. Your body splits open around him in a white-hot flare of pain-pleasure that steals your breath.
The bellow of pain makes your ears pin back. But Toji doesnât stop. He just bottoms out inside you with a groan so visceral it shakes the dust from the rafters above.
Shiu whistles. âDamn, she took all that?"
Toji nuzzles between your trembling shoulder blades. "Knew ya could take it. Filthy girl.â
His hips piston forward with a force that rattles the breeding rackâs wooden frame. Each brutal thrust makes the leather straps groan under tension as your body is jerked back onto him over and over.
Your dangling hooves scrabble for purchase but find none; all you can do is hang there, impaled and shaking while Toji takes what he wants in deep, grinding strokes. The wet slap of skin on skin echoes through the barn like an obscene metronome.
Itâs only drowned out by Tojiâs ragged breaths against your neck. His teeth are latched onto your nape in a mating bite.
âFuckââ he snarls.
It should hurt. It does hurt. At first.
Your walls flutter wildly around Tojiâs girth, spasming in protest as he stretches you out.
Then your hybrid biology kicks in, ruthless and efficient. Heat floods your core as your cervix softens on instinct, widening for his cock like a flower for the sun.
Slickness gushes around each thrust, not just lube now but the thick, fertile cream of a cow hybrid in prime breeding condition.
Your body knows its purpose. Even your womb betrays you. Your walls are clenching down greedily every time his tip bumps your cervix, it like it's trying to milk him dry already.
Toji feels it too, his rhythm stuttering when you suddenly squeeze around him with hunger. âShitââ he stutters, â-fuckinâ greedy lilâ bitch.â
Words fail you, language devolving into broken, animalistic sounds as Tojiâs cock punches deeper with every thrust. Drool strings from your lips, pooling on the padded rack beneath you while tears and snot streak your flushed face.
âM-Mmmhâ! Your back arches helplessly when his knot starts to catch at your rim, thighs trembling as a pathetic moo rips from your throat. "âJ-ji! âJi!âp-please!â
But what are you even begging for? More? Less? You donât know anymore. All that exists is the stretch of him splitting you open, the way your plush belly bulges with each thrust.
Your nails splinter wood from the rack as another moan-turned-mooo spills out. âSâgood,â Toji rumbles against your spine, â-fuckinâ take it.â
Your tongue lolls out past your lips, slick and pink. Itâs a telltale sign of a cow hybrid pushed too far into instinct.
Saliva drips in thin strands onto the padded rack beneath you, each panting breath only making it worse. Your eyes have gone glassy, unfocused. Your pupils are blown wide in need.
Shiu notices first. He leans against the barn post with crossed arms, chewing lazily on a stalk of hay before nodding toward your slack mouth. âWatch it,â he warns Toji. âSheâs âbout to tip over.â
He means your climax. The way cow hybrids lose all control when they hit that edge: thrashing, moaning, sometimes even pissing themselves from the sheer overload of sensation.
Sure enough, your thighs start quivering like bowstrings pulled taut as another broken moo spills from your spit-slick lips.
Toji snarls at the warning but doesnât slow down. If anything he fucks into you harder. âYeah? Then fuckinâ cum,â he growls. âWanna feel that cunt milk me dry âfore I knot ya.â
Your mind is gone. Itâs drowned under a tidal wave of sensation that reduces you to nothing but flesh and instinct. Your tongue lolls out further, spit dripping in thick ropes onto the straw-littered floor beneath the rack.
Every breath comes as a shuddering moan, every thrust wrings another pathetic moo from your throat like your voice isnât even yours anymore. âHhhnnââJiiiii!â
Shiu watches with a chuckle, patting the stall door with his palm. "There it is," he mutters around a new cigarette before nodding at Toji. âShe's lockin' up."
The orgasm crashes over you like a seizure. You scream around the drool coating your chin. "MMMOOOOâ!"
The vet gives a sharp nod that Shiu moving through the gate. His calloused hands clamp down on your hips, not to save you, but to hold you still. Tojiâs thrusts turn jagged and brutal, each snap of his hips forcing that thickening knot against your abused entrance. Your body fights it instinctively, clamping down in protest even as your orgasm still wrings dizzying pulses of pleasure from your core.
âN-NoâNO! MMMFHâOOOO!â
The stretch burns like fire as your cunt is spread so wet and sticky against the swell. Toji growls through clenched teeth, lifts a hooves to plant close to your head at an angle and shoves the rest of the way inside.
You donât even realize youâve pissed yourself until warm liquid splatters onto the floor beneath the rack. Overstimulation is short-circuiting your bladder along with everything else.
Shiu just grunts and tightens his grip, keeping you upright as Toji rumbles in satisfaction behind you, âFuckkkk, there ya go.â His palm splays over your lower belly where his cock visibly distends it from within.
The moment Tojiâs knot locks, your body goes slack, limp as a ragdoll between them, trembling with oversensitivity and exhaustion. Shiu chuckles as he reaches for a nearby rag, swiping it roughly over your piss-streaked thighs. âDamn, girl," he chuckles, âDidn't know we'd have to hose down the whole fuckin' barn after."
Toji, still buried balls feel, leans down to nuzzle at the sweaty hair hair sticking to your neck. âShhh,â he soothes. âTook it so good.â He lands lazy kisses against your neck. ââCept for the piss part.â
Shiu barks out a laugh while tossing the soiled rag aside. âFirst time's always messy," he shrugs before offering you a sip of water from an old canteen.
Months later, youâre round with the proof of Tojiâs claim. Your belly swells round and heavy with his calf, skin stretched taut over fertile curves that jiggle with every step. The farmhands whisper when they think you can't hear. âToji stuffed her full.â
Toji adores you like this. Slow-moving and sleepy-eyed. Milk-heavy tits swayed beneath the frilly bows Shiu begrudgingly buys for you at market. The little brass bell around your neck chimes sweetly whenever Toji guides you by the horns to feed from his palm like some pampered prize.
He drapes you in soft cotton dresses, the fabric straining over milk-heavy tits and wide hips that sway with every step. Your ribbons are always perfectly tied, pink satin bows nestled between your horns or threaded through the bell around your neck.
And god, does he love leading you. His calloused hands are always on you, guiding you to kneel so he can palm the curve of your stomach or tugging you into his lap. He gropes those swollen udders until warm milk beads at your nipples. âLookit that,â the white liquid spills over his thick fingers. âAll pretty ân leaky just for me.â
Even Shiu has softened in his own way, sneaking extra sugar cubes into your feed bucket when Toji isnât looking. âQuit spoilinâ her,â Toji snaps before handing you a ripe apple.
Now, they wait until that calf comes so you can be bred all over again.
Pairing: puppy!Choso x owner!reader
cw: SMUTTT, subby whiny pervy dog hybrid choso, owner reader, fem!reader, panty sniffing, scenting, riding him, choso cries, cumplay, degrading him a bit, punishment... he calls reader mistress/ma'am, light slapping, not proofread lols
for this ask <3 and mommy @mimuju
Choso was a good boy.
The best boy.
He's your good boy, could do no wrong.
You thought as much.
He's been your cute stay-at-home-hybrid for a while now, finally comfortable enough to not be as shy around you.
Choso was on the more timid side, but he'd make sure he's always around you when you're home.
Sitting next to you at the breakfast table, thigh against thigh, his tail wagging and smacking against the leg of the chair. You liked his presence, letting him steal food from your plate, wiping his cheek with your thumb when he got a bit messy.
He wanted to watch everything with you, getting startled by horror movies- you had to hold the sweet boy and scratch behind his ears. You loved it though, getting to coo and laugh at him when he trembled from a jumpscare.
He slowly had moved to your bedroom instead of his designated room, sleeping besides you, sometimes at the foot of the bed if you weren't in the mood to get snuggled up with a man that could engulf your whole form in his arms.
But that was rare.
You let him lay his head on your chest, place soft kisses on his hair and listen to his breath.
If there was a thunderstorm outside, then you'd huddle up under blankets with him and read to him as a distraction from the loud thundering sound and howling winds.
He did get a bit⌠touchy though, nosing and trying to scent you in the middle of the night when he thought you were fully passed out.
âŚYou liked it.
He could smell how turned on you'd get, the lovely way your panties became damp and your cunts hole would flutter.
He wanted to have a lick⌠get your flavor in his mouth.
But he was good, just shifting to try and go to sleep, even if he had the most delicious smelling treat right under his nose.
When you went for walks at the park, he behaved well and stayed near. Choso was actually fairly frightened by the other demihumans.
Especially that mean looking pink tiger guy⌠or the gray wolf.
Choso wasn't some meek weakling but he preferred to stay hip to hip with you⌠in case he had to protect you, not the other way around⌠definitely.
Back to him being the bestest boy ever.
He wasn't.
Choso was a little pervert.
Like any dog would be.
He gave you sad puppy eyes when you left for work, whining about missing you- all to get a kiss on his droopy expression before you left and closed the door.
He did miss you, he didn't lie about that.
But that pouty act turned into one of pure neediness.
He had started off tame⌠going into your bedroom, rummaging trough your underwear drawer to get his paws on the fresh laundry, bringing it up to his face to sniff.
Then put them back.
You never knew.
Then he got bolder, sitting on the bathroom floor and pouring the dirty laundry basket out on the tiles, picking your most recently worn clothes up to roll in, laying on his back while smushing a pair of filthy panties to his face. As if you would be on his face.
And then he would shove all of it back into the basket and go laze about on your bed.
You NEVER knew.
One morning you had given him a bye bye peck on the lips, something you had never done before but he had been on the brink of tears, kneeling while tugging at your jeans, ears all flat and tail between his thighs. He was being extra clingy.
So a little kiss was sure to cheer him up.
A bit too much.
Late afternoon- and you return back home, exhausted from work and in need of a shower and a good meal. And some love and attention from your house dog.
"Choso! Puppy, I'm homeâŚ" You yawn out, toeing your shoes off and dropping your bag on the little table in your hallway.
Choso, the precious boy he was, rushed over and hugged you, his frame folding over you.
You couldn't help but giggle when he nosed at your neck, acting all cute. Not trying to taste you, no not at all.
He had acted normal throughout dinner, maybe a bit more⌠nosy than usual.
Nothing was amiss.
Until you were picking out some clothes to change into after you took a shower.
T shirt.. check⌠sweatpants⌠check⌠chewed up panties⌠check.
âŚ
chewed up panties?
You lifted the cotton pair up by the sides.
There was a hole⌠a big one⌠bit right out from where your pussy would go if you wore them-
You don't remember moths having such a big appetite.
Your stupid mutt of a hybrid had gotten into your underwear.
He had gotten a little bit too excited and had decided he NEEDED a taste.
So what else was he supposed to do? Not take a chunk out of your favorite pair?
You tossed the ripped up thing to the bed and groaned, rubbing a hand over your forehead.
"CHOSO."
He was in the room before you could even finish the full word, on his knees and a trembling bottom lip sticking out, tail neatly tucked under his thighs and black furred ears down on his skull.
"Yes, mistress..?"
You glanced over to the bed.
He did too-
Oh no.
I mean, what did he expect would happen.
Leaving evidence right where you'd find it.
Silly boy.
The kneeling hybrids face started to heat up, looking to the floor where his hands were.
"âŚWasn't me.."
"Who then? The undie ripping fairy? The pervert gnome of panty land?"
"âŚBoth of themâŚ"
You went silent, eyes staring down at his.
He whimpered, shifting uncomfortably under your glare.
"Choso, be good. Tell me what happened, seriously."
"I.. i didn't mean to⌠swear it."
"Choso Kamo."
He bit the inside of his cheek, head tipping forwards and hanging. His dark locks falling over his face to cover the guilty look.
His tail was starting to slooowwly slide back and forth across the floor.
Was he enjoying this?
You ran the hand from your forehead down your face.
"I did itâŚma'am.."
"Why?"
"Wanted to smell you⌠but.. but also taste so iâŚ"
"Taste and smell⌠what else, touch and lick?" You scoffed, making a sarcastic remark.
But he nodded, finally lifting his chin back up to have his chocolate irises meet your annoyed ones.
"May i, mistress?"
"May you? You tore up my favourite pair and now you want to get some? Fine. But you won't like it. "
You tried to threaten him, but he didn't look all that scared.
Not until you grabbed him by the hair and made him scoot forward, clumsy hands clinging to the backsides of your thighs. That pitiful little face he was making made you want to forgive him, but he deserved to be punished.
You stepped a bit wider, shoving his face between your legs.
This earned you a whine from him, unsure what to do now⌠the scent of you filling his nose and making his fluffy tail thump around on the flooring.
"Don't look so excited, damn mutt."
Choso shuddered from the mean name, peering up at you, tongue already darting out to try and lick at the fabric of your pants.
You unbuttoned your jeans, letting the not so guilty looking hybrid watch you unzip and tug the waistband down.
Before you could even get them past your thighs he was trying to lap at the front of your filly panties- canines lightly pulling on the material.
Someone was hungry.
"Look at you⌠now hold on, you can't taste unless i allow it." You chuckle, pulling him away by his hair.
Poor Choso was already sniffling, unable to tear his eyes away from the damp fabric clinging to invitingly to your puffy folds, hands gripping into his own sweats.
"PleaseâŚ.mistress⌠please."
You tutted.
How impatient.
You pulled him up from his knees, pushing him onto the soft bed- ripped up panties forgotten underneath him.
You didn't want to let him get what he wanted the most. To get to touch and bite at your skin.
So the best course of action?
Forcing him to lay down, tugging his sweatpants down just enough so you could sit on his weepy cock. It looked like it was crying by how much precum was oozing out.
Your clothed pussy formed around it, thighs trapping his legs underneath yours.
"No touching."
"Yes ma'am."
It was a pitiful sight, his ears floppy and his eyes glossy, unable to look away where your bodies were rubbing together- and his hands, oh his desperate hands, trying to lay flat on the bedsheets beside his sides.
You didn't slide your soaked panties to the side until he started to buck his hips.
Obviously his cock was obscenely large, with a plump knotting bump at the end. Not to mention how pretty his happy trail was, your hands pressing down on his lower stomach to hold him still while shifting and helping the leaky cockhead find your sopping hole.
Thwap slap thwap slap slap!
Your hips bounced up and down, ass meeting his trembling thighs, the wet sounds of skin meeting skin filled the usual wholesome bedroom air.
All he could do was⌠well.. cry. And let out whimpers of your name- too overwhelmed.
He was sobbing, nose scrunched up and his eyes blinking out pearly tears before shutting completely, fingers gripping into the bedsheets so hard they might tear.
"MisuhhâŚmistthhrurressâŚ" He hiccuped out your title over and over again.
You leaned over, grabbing his face with one hand, the other bracing your weight on his abs.
"Cmon, look at me, you crybaby. You did this to yourself."
He refused to open his eyes, trying to squirm out of your hold.
Smack!
You have his cheek a light slap before leaning back, making sure to clench around him for a torturous squeeze.
"Bad puppy."
You didn't even let him cum inside, getting off right at the last moment.
And the thick load splurted out all over his own chest and face. Nowhere near where he would have liked to get it on⌠or in.
Lesson learned?
For now, maybe.
You weren't that cruel⌠you scooped up the whiteish liquid in your fingers and fed it to him.
That counted as cleanup.
Fine, he got a proper cuddle session and a short lecture about eating your clothes.
Didn't mean you knew about all the other stuff he had done before getting caught this one time.
(10k wc) ⌠summary: demanding, old, hostileâ just a few of the warnings the man at the local shelter gave you before opening its cage. but it doesnât matter. so long as he can protect you, all else can be forgiven. yet heâs more wolf than dog. more⌠man than wolf.

With every step, it feels as if the walls of your apartment are closing in on you.
By your feet, at the front door you hardly have the coordination to close- blundering with the lock- lay a bouquet. Scattered. Flowers strew themselves across your hall as you kick the clasped bunch with the tip of your heel and glide from room to room, warily ducking into each one with your hand braced in front of your body, ready to beat and thrash and fight for your life.
In your other hand- a note. Crumpled, now. Shaking between your fingers.
You donât think heâs gotten inside again- it seems the new home security measures you installed have thrown a wrench in his plans- for the moment, at least (although your spare key is still missing)- but youâre not wholly convinced youâre safe, either.
And to be clear, itâs better to be that than sorry: Youâll check each and every cranny of your little flat if it means reclaiming your peace of mind.
Your life is a different story though, as of late; threatened yet not something quite as simple to take back. Living with bated breath is no way to exist- neither with the perpetual looks thrown over your shoulder on the short trek back from the bus, the seemingly harmless creaks at night hurling you whole feet from your bed.
Because of that fear, you can hardly even bear to look down at the tiny paper in your hand to read it.
I loved that outfit on you yesterday babe. Can you blame me for taking a little from your wardrobe? âĄ
Strangely, though, your drawer is just as you left it when you slide it from its framework almost fast enough to pop its screws, fearing the worst.
Clothes- your tee shirts, blouses for work and lacy bras, pencil skirts- fling across your bed, yet nothing is⌠amiss.
That outfit from yesterday.
With a gasp, you twist around to look at your hamper, and-
Sure enough, the lid is open.
âŚ
â-get a few new ones a week. Gets hard to keep up with âem all. All the personalities and quirks- a lot of them wonât even eat their kibble unless you look the other way.â
The cold brick walls and all the sounds bouncing off them (grunts, woofs, and nails against tile) become humdrum as the worker, waving a hand as he talks- rants, really- leads you through the pound.
The fluorescence lighting the place flares, whirs overhead. Everything about the setting is harsh. Obviously, youâre in no danger- but as you trail alongside him, you feel a sense of foreboding in your gut all the same. Like youâre walking into a dungeon.
The colorless walls swallowing up most of your vision make that silly threat seem an ounce realer.
You swallow, head on a swivel- yet not for fear, but sympathy as you pass an assortment of fenced-off pets. Some track you with a snarl. Some with eyes that plead. Still, they all share the undeniable tinge of distrust.
What an awful place, you think to yourself.
âŚBut coming here had a purpose.
Your heels clip against the scratched floor and echo in rounds, a certain emptiness existing around you that seems misaligned with all the noise and sights.
Dogs in their cagesâ some upfront, teething at the metal, others: cowed to their corners, lying on thin blankets not quite as worse for wear.
To sum it up- creatures sapped of will. Defeated in life.
A distinct sorrow weighs in your chest, even as the employee happily drones on, a half-eaten tuna sandwich in one hand (the other: gesturing emphatically), hardly paying you any attention. To be fair, youâre giving him very little as well.
â-I mean, some donât even eat at all. Picky things.â
Picky? You question quietly. Or without hunger? Their appetite for cheap, bagged kibble robbed right along with their appetite for life.
Your nails dent into your palm as you clench it.
Itâs hard to get a word in edgewise as the man chatters away, but you manage to pile down your need to be polite for long enough to get in a:
Hey, excuse me, I asked what kind of dog youâd recommend for protâ
Clack, clack⌠Clack.
You come to a pause, dead-center in the walkway. The dull rhythm of his shoes remains where yours doesnât.
âHeh. We got one a couple of months back who thinks this place is his own damn gourmet restaur-â
When he notices youâre not arm-to-arm, he, too, stops.
âMaâam?â He turns.
âThat one,â you breathe, just vaguely registering as the worker sidles up to you and glances at the cage you approach. The glint in your eye wins his interest.
For once since you entered the building, he shuts his mouth.
When he looks at âthat oneâ in questionâ a silver shock of fur, immersed in a shadow against the far wallâ his eyes almost bulge from his skull.
A sharp laugh.
âAh, little lady. Donât wanna bite off more than you can chew, now. See-â
As he falls back into drivel (albeit, you lend an ear, curious now), you eye the pooch.
He looks a little wilder than the rest, a little more weathered, tucked to the corner of his cage but not quite âcoweringâ- no, heâs a touch too big and threatening for it to seem that way. More like⌠brooding.
âŚYet you wonder all the same if thatâs what he feels, too. Scared like most if not all of the others.
Your chest stirs again with that wisp of sadness.
If you could, youâd clip their collars to a leash and walk them all home, cramming them into your apartment with no thought and all heart. For reasons- countless reasons (having to do with your tiny home and even tinier wallet)- thatâs not possible.
In a place as cold and unfortunate as this, heâd have every reason to be frightened, you think, but when your eyes soften with pity at him, his own narrow.
Thoughtfully, you blink.
As the worker rattles off his minor crimes around the playpen- and the hole he eats through their budget, what with his size- you canât help but marvel at him.
Concerningly massive. With thick, silvery fur matted in certain areas, patchy with scars in others, and eyes that glow an unnatural shade of red- you can wholeheartedly say youâve never seen the breed before. Less dog-like and more wolfish.
It warrants a raise of the brow, just what heâs doing here. Did he have an owner before? Was he abandoned by them? Or⌠was he just pulled from the street?
And if so, how many elephant-sized tranquilizer darts did it take to haul him here?
âSo,â he says, stuffing his hand in his pockets, âHonestly, Maâam, heâs probably not what youâre lookinâ for.â Giving your clacking heels and airy sundress a once-over, he sighs.
âWe do have a Samoyed though- he was brought in just yesterday. Super playful. Great personality. Domesticated. He definitely wonât be here for long. Uh⌠this one here, though,â he snickers. âHeâs unpredictable at the best of times. Growls when ya feed him- then growls some more âcause heâs still hungry... tsk,â he glances down at his hand, then. Evidently, thereâs no mark there, but you think heâs imagining one that couldâve been.
âHeâs on the older side, too. Canât teach him any new tricks. And⌠big, as you can see. With his temperament, heâd probably tear a hole in your apartment. You, uh, you got an apartment, you said-?â
Right now, you should be thankful for all his advice- at the very least, relieved his chatter has become more meaningful, relaying all the poochâs unruly habits. Yet you tune it all out, slightly cocking your head at the beast dog- a movement that, if youâre not imagining things, his scruffy one mirrors.
âHeâsâŚâ
âYep. Like I said-â
âPerfect,â you breathe, falling to a crouch.
The man beside you coughs on his own spit. âWhat-? Uh, little lady, I seriously donât thinkâ hey, watch the hands! Donât stick âem through!â
â-How much?â
You manage to pry your gaze from the ominous thing tucked a number of feet into his prison, cloaked and out of the light, to look up at the man. For all of the warnings and, really, defamation made against the animalâ to his defense, he doesnât lunge. Bark. Claw at the bars or slip his snout through to bite the harmless hand you extend in the space there.
No. With a lift of his whiskers, he watches.
Tuna-sandwich blinks. Eyes widening to twice their original size before he scrubs the lower half of his face.
Eventually, he shrugs. Takes a moment to process it.
As he does, you await the price with a hand already dipping inside your purse. I mean, you hope not to spend a small fortune during this outing- but itâs also an investment worth your while. Thereâs no saying when your stalker will show his face again. If tomorrow heâll be waiting under your bed or in your closet for your return- hell, right now, the hackles on your neck are raised as if he could be lurking still.
A word relieves you of worries for naught.
âNothing.â
âŚWait- No, that canât be right. Nothing? The- your future good boy is worth nothing?
âE-Excuse me?â
He sighs, exasperated. âYouâd be doing us a favor,â is all he gives as an explanation. âYou can have him for free.â
Dumbfounded, snapping your head back to the cage, youâre met with two crimson eyes that look almost hellish as they catch in the shifting fluorescence- and a pass of surprise on its face that appears almost⌠human.
âBut, are you-â
âHaaaaah. Maybe itâs for the better. Youâre like his savior, you know,â he comments, sparing a rather indifferent glance to the animal, âhe oughta be thankful for you coming in here.â
And there, fucking again- like a blade wedged between your ribs and twistingâ
âToo much longer and we wouldâa had to put him down.â
A squeeze of your heart.
Jaw fluttering shut, that morsel of information wipes the entirety of your hesitance out. Belatedly, you nod, perching your bag above your hip once more, a sense of determination smoothing out your features.
âWhen can we get him out of this cage?â
You ask without looking his way.
The sound of keys jingling on a ring has the silver-furred creature perking his left ear ever so slightly- a movement you track with curiosity as the beastâs chest swells in. Itâs like he understands. Maybe he does. Maybe heâs seen countless people just like you filter in and out, pass him by, and ultimately land on a different pet to jailbreak take home.
âI can get you sorted right now,â he quips, helpful, âJust⌠You might wanna back up.â
Weirdly enough- and despite knowing you really should be cautious with a veritable beast from the local shelter, scarred to no end and skulking- all the tiptoeing around him is endearing in its own right.
Heâs a good boy, youâre sure of it. Misunderstood, probably, like the rest of the poor, trembling things hereâ just in need of a nice, loving home and maybe a scritch or two behind the ear. And youâre positive, if nothing else, heâll do plenty a good job at keeping your stalker at bay.
It takes a handful of minutes to loop the rope (not leash: rope) around his neck- yet the worker treats it as a pleasant surprise, muttering something about how heâs just a whit more cooperative today.
âThank you,â you chime a bit breathlessly. Sure, your main goal in coming here was to find a suitable guard dog, but you canât deny the excitement that flutters within as the gate closes to a now-empty cage, your new pet springing free.
Anticipation thrums in your chest as you eagerly accept the rope from him- âcareful,â a snigger- andâ
The ground beneath you all but gives way.
âOh, sir- one more thing! Whatâs his name!â
He stops for a moment to turn halfway over his shoulder. Long, overgrown nails skittering across the floor as the leash tugs harshly and youâre rapidly propelled out the front door, into sunlight.
However, you do catch him shrugging.
âNo clue.â
âŚ
A number of days pass. Those days drag by with an eagerness to get to know each other that seems only one-sided- and a caution on his end that borders uncanniness.
You buy him a fluffy dog bed (the biggest you could find; heâs bigger still). Quality food, not the rubbish they fed him at the pound. And you give him your patience; small, gentle smiles that youâre not entirely sure an animal can understandâ but when you offer out your hand for him to smell, a sign that you mean no harm, he growls and retreats to his corner. He chooses one part of your tiny apartment to hunker down in and outright glares when you get too close.
This is your house.
This⌠was your house. Maybe youâve bitten off more than you can chew. As a week moves on, you concede to your bedroom or the sofa and watch him with resignation as he watches you back- and contemplate if you made the right choice.
Does he seriously hate you that bad? How can you make him understand that you donât harbor any bad intentions for him-? I mean, arenât animals supposed to have that preternatural kind of instinct anyway? to spot malice?
What is he spotting in you?
Curled up on the couch, you hang your hand off the arm and release the new brush youâd bought days ago. Itâs seeming more and more like a useless purchase, yet after countless attempts to bathe and brush him- all for naught- itâs only now starting to settle.
Work was long. That one coworker was grating on your nerves more than usual and you couldâve sworn you heard a second pair of footfalls trailing yours after the bus back- but you can only look over your shoulder so many times without attracting the attention of people who start to wonder if youâre batshit crazy.
But you're not crazy. That- That psychopath is, and his countless notes and uninvited visits to your apartment while youâre gone are all proofs of that.
But thatâs changed, now. If your dog hates you, heâll hate an intruder even more.
You sigh, holding your head in your hands as you lean forward. Like a flower wilted, folded in on itself, too heavy with its withering to support its own weight. You rub your temples when you grudgingly glance up to the wolf-sized beast sulking in the corner.
He stares, of course; buttery light twinkling in imposing, ruby eyes in a way that almost makes him seem tame. Mellow.
Not quite.
Still, you canât bring yourself to dislike him, or regret taking him off the poundâs handsâ for all his stubbornness, the hostility he barely conceals, you know all too well that fear manifests itself in strange ways. Like when you almost snarled at your deskmate today for leaning over your shoulder again to review your work- the proximity too startling to handle. Youâre irate. On alert. Scared. And itâs making you do unreasonable things as a way to calcify your soft skin into a protective shell. You start to think that you must be hard: the climate calls for it.
The mutt that broods behind your armchair is the picture of ominous- big and bad and threatening long before his lip even curls in warning. Everything about him screams see, look at my scars- my sharp teeth and nails. Donât touch me. Donât hurt me.
Your heart stirs.
Tiredly, you offer a small smile. âYou are perfect, you know,â folding your leg over the other as you pat the open space of the couch beside you. It can fit four to six people if they cram together, but you know heâd take up the three cushions beside you if he sprawled out entirely.
He regards you with a microscopic flick of his ears. âEven if you donât like me, that doesnât change what I think about you. If you just let me give you a bath⌠Iâll let you sit on the couch, deal? Iâm sure itâll be comfier than what you got now,â you offer, gesturing harmlessly to the dog bed that lays unused by the tableâ for this reason or that, perhaps just as a way to show you heâs completely rejecting you, heâs avoided it.
Yes, heâs just a tatterdamelion, forgotten animal, operating out of instinct and whatever feels right.
Yes, you still had to mask your hurt over it.
You sigh. âI mean, I havenât even thought of a name for you yet. And Iâm sorry, I justâŚâ Trailing off, you give your head a small shake and stand to your feet. In your mind, with no small amount of discontent, you realize youâve reached a watershed hereâ one that separates your old, normal life from a sense of great uncertainty that rests on the horizon.
And youâre terribly concerned. And tired. But God forbid you start venting to a dog about it.
âNevermind. Goodnight, boy,â you wave your doubts off dismissively, deliberately leaving the lamplight on lest he get scared in the dark. Sometimes, you think you see eyes staring back in it, too, so you put no judgement on him.
Pattering with heavy, sock-clad feet down the hall, âSleep tight. Just tell me if you hear anything at the door-â
A labored sigh.
Nails clacking behind youâ and for one awful second you fear the worst: Youâve turned your back to a beast.
Your breath hitches with the realization, yet as you swiftly spin around- half prepared to bolt or at the very least shield your head with your vulnerable, just as fleshy arms- youâre mistaken.
There, he stands, as a massive silhouette against the living room light angling into the narrow, dim hall. Heâs like a bull in a china shop- monstrous, sharp claws etching lines into the lacquer of the maple wood floor, his tail sending fur gusting behind him as it falls. You become clear of two things, then:
One) you must sweep, and soon. And two)
Heâs tilting his head- in an uncannily shrewd way- towards the ajar bathroom door beside you, and as he noses it open and stares at you, itâs with expectance.
Oh, and then threeâ
When you donât respond right away, he steps around you and impatiently nudges you in- headstrong as ever- through the bathroom door with a throaty huff.
âŚ
He smells of strawberry shortcake. Vastly sweeter than what he really is, you think with a wry but endeared smile, when you extend a slow, ever-cautious hand to pet.
To your surprise, he lets you.
Call it a truce between you both. A comfier place for him to crash at for a little more peace of mind on your end.
With all the dirt and dried muck lathered out from his coat (it took an hour or so, and patience- as he flung water and stubbornly tried to readjust in the small tub- lots of it), youâre given the chance to finally see the beauty of his breed.
Chalky white fur, soft as the cashmere sweater stowed in your closet on standby for the chilly autumn weeks ahead. His hair is long, perhaps overdue for a trim- not that youâre deluded enough to believe heâd allow a groomer anywhere near him- and easily covers most of the scarring underneath.
Convincing him it was safe to let you clip his nails was an even harder task than getting him in the bath- but he⌠cooperated. In a looser sense of the word.
None of your limbs are missing. Thatâs a small miracle in itself. Youâre thankful for the little breakthroughs with your new pet, even if it feels like youâre walking uphill all the while.
He hops up on the sofa beside you. True to your word, you allow it, the springs dipping beneath you both as he settles.
If the couch fell through the floor and onto the one below in a mist of crumbled drywall, youâd have no right to be surprised. None at all.
Trying not to show a fraction of your joy as he sets his head on your lap lest that deter him, you bite back a grin and rest a hand on his back. You avoid needless contact with his head- you get the feeling thatâs a iffier place for him. Youâd respect it, of course. Your show of patience has been nothing less than outstanding in the past week. Now that youâre finally making headway with him (and yesâ his letting you bathe and sit with him is headway), youâre encouraged.
BesidesâŚ
Unpredictable. The forbidding advice of the shelter employee rings in your head.
Ahem.
Itâs late.
Tomorrow, youâve another long day of work and second-guessing your surroundings and the people in them. Whether or not youâll be attacked in your own home by your persistent ex-boyfriend who couldnât stop meddling with your life even if it meant saving his own.
The doubt, momentarily, is pushed to the back burner.
You smooth your hands through his velvety fur. A strange layer of peace drapes itself over you, warming your chest like a fleece as his back rises and falls, your quiet breaths punctuating his own heaving ones.
âYouâre a good boy, you know,â you murmur contentedly as you lay your head back and drift off. A crimson set of eyes regards you carefully, peering up through fine, snowy lashes.
From the barrel of his chest, he lets out a deep rumble like he understands. You know he doesnât.
Half awake, you weave your fingers along him, âYou are. You are a good boy,â as if itâs come as an epiphany to you- made realer as itâs spoken.
Before you let sleep take you entirely, you murmur with a ghost of a grin, teasing despite knowing itâs ridiculous because your words arenât coherent to him- just a swooning, soft sound to bitten earsâ
âHey⌠I could tell you didnât really like Cookie, or Sweetie, or Dragonfruit, but⌠what aboutâŚâ
A moment passes. Barely, you register his snout lifting from your thigh.
âSylus.â
Before dozing off, youâre fairly certain- for his sake- youâd left the lamp on that night.
âŚBut when you wake the next morning to your alarm blaring in the room over, all that lights the living space is the sun streaming through the blinds.
âŚ
You blink and autumn is in full throttle.
You blink and youâre trading your thin sleep shorts out for pajama pants and slippers- layering your work blouses with wooly cardigans.
Days leap over one another like cards of a rolodexâ yours, on your cubicle desk: filled with doodles of the unruly pooch waiting at home for you. Idling over him is all that you can do to ease your mind as anxiety gnaws through.
You worry for him when heâs home alone. Not because you heed the warnings you were once given- âheâll tear a hole in your wallsâ- but because you care for him, and with that brings the inexplicable want to see him as soon as possible.
Of course, he canât speak, but he shows in his own way that he misses you too when youâre gone.
Once your shift ends, you do as you did the day before. You quickly take the jacket off your wheely chair and gather your things, waving to the select few coworkers who donât make you want to rip your hair from the root.
Perhaps if youâre quick enough, youâll even make it off the bus, to your complex, before the sun sets. You appreciate fall for its colors. Not for the darkness it brings far too early to be comfortable with.
Every alley appears with teeth, in those eerily quiet moments when you make the short trek back home. Cars purr beside you on the congested roads, and despite cursing traffic on the ride to your stop, youâre grateful for it now.
At least more people are out; potential buffers to stave off your crazy ex from putting his hands on youâŚ
Potential witnesses if he does.
Damnit. Damnit damnit damnit. Every evening you canât help but wish you could just- take Sylus with you to work. But for so many reasons thatâs just not possible.
Stuffing your hands in your pockets, you breathe out a fine mist and pick up the pace.
You canât escape dusk from falling- but you can take advantage of the early moments of it right before night comes swinging.
You nervously glance up to the sky, a fiery swatch of orange sat under starry blue, and tell yourself itâs fine.
âŚItâs fine- and yet you swear on all things holy you can hear boots pacing behind yoursâ
A gasp. You turn around and get ready to rip your pepper pray from the scabbard that is your pocket- for naught. Emptiness greets you. Sneering and quiet. In the distance, deeper into the city, a car honks. Where you are now though, youâre more or less alone.
You wet your lip where itâs dented from biting. You turn around, and press back on.
Itâs okay. Youâre almost home. Just a bit further. Within ten minutes youâll be crooning to your âpuppyâ and itching behind his ear while he rigidly thumps his tail, closing his eyes indifferently as if he wasnât hurrying to the door as soon as he heard the lock.
Yes, thatâs right. In ten minutes- on the dot (you know because youâre toying with your watch to calm yourself)- youâll be slipping off your jacket and refilling his water bowl, tossing him scraps as you prepare a nice steak dinner in celebration of your weekend commencing. The fancy wine youâll pair with it is to help wash it all down and pretend youâre financially better off than you are. Not to help your nerves.
âŚEven Sylus, the creature who doesnât understand you even if sometimes it seems he unexplainably does, would be hard-pressed to believe such a feeble lie.
Clack. Clack. Clack.
Your heels. A dull, monotonous rhythm against pavement, one you relish now because it fills the crisp, silent air.
Then-
Tap tap tap.
Your heels- âHey baby, wait up- where ya going?â- with the sound of another and the bone-chilling revelation that every suspicion you had was groundedâ
You donât even turn around. You donât reason with, stick up the bird to, or even hastily shout a fuck off, creep, over your shoulder because youâre not sure you have the luxury to.
By the sounds of it, heâs already close.
âOh no you donât. Come on, baby, just let me fuckinâ talk to you!â
-Closer and gaining still.
Fear rattles through you. It goes from zero to one hundred in a breath- yet how to breathe becomes a distant memory as your lungs still. The pulse in your throat drums, and suddenly your cardigan isnât enough to save you from the ice eating you from the inside out- a cold sweat already forming at your nape.
Youâre in such a panic you even forget about the spray in your pocket- the assortment of makeshift blades (keys, pens that grow knives when you click them) tucked in your purse. You have a small arsenal in there. Yet your mind spins.
âStop-! I havenât even been able to visit you lately because of that fucking asshole- since when youâd get a new boyfriend, baby? Do you really not care about me anymore? I just wanna talk!â
No. No no no- and new boyfriend? What-? All thought is dashed from your brain, his hollers becoming static. No, just ignore him, it doesnât matter what nonsense he spouts to try and get you back- you wonât so much as glance behind you. After all heâs done to hurt and twist and outright disgrace you and your home, you donât think he deserves it.
You break into a sprint. The concrete path pushes beneath you. You feel like youâre running in a dream, youâre so terrified- but you do run. You run like hell. You run like a girl.
You fiddle for the key in your purse, shaking as the door opens and you slam it behind you. His hand almost gets stuck in it, the knob jiggling loudly just a millisecond after you lock it.
As the reality of what couldâve been settles, youâre horrified. Cold in the face.
Sylus is there, leaping over to reach you. You wonder if the fury you catch in his wide ruby eyes is your imagination or reality; if he has the inexplicable knowing- based on your frazzled state or the noise- that something is terribly wrong.
âSylus-â
You breathe with relief, but you donât linger. You skitter past to the kitchen for a weapon- a real, proper one. A snarl rips from his throat as you leave him behind you, shouts sounding in the hallway behind your door. He barks at it. Ferocious and lupine. Surely not the make of a dog, of a pet meant for four walls and a roofâ no, itâs a separate beast entirely.
Hostile, unpredictable, growly- dangerous. Oh, youâve no choice but to hope all the labels on his package are true. That heâll rip your ex-boyfriend a new one if he finds a way in.
Hyperventilating, limbs like jelly, you stagger over. In the short span of time it takes you to turn out the kitchen and down the corridor, you contemplate either opening the door and saying go boy, goâ or simply staying back to âdefend.â
You turn the corner and blanche.
Someoneâs in your house- not the creeping, painfully familiar face, however, no- and heâs naked.
And then, everything youâd been working so hard to build with your froward pet over the months, the foundation of trust and patience, the hard-earned truce made between you both⌠As red eyes flash at you in warning, a hand taking the shaking knife from your own before he opens the doorâ it all shifts.
The bottom falls through.
The man opens the door, and perhaps you should be thankful that he takes the squabble outside because youâre sure that the blood spraying from your ex-boyfriendâs nose as it breaks would be impossible to scrub from your walls.
âŚ
âRelax,â he grouses with a tsk, âIâm not gonna bite.â
With split knuckles, a long leg crossed over the other where he sits on your couch, canines just a little too sharp as they catch in the lamplight- thatâs hard to believe.
The blade heâd taken from your hands lies on the cushion beside him, and while you donât make a grab for it, you think he sees the way you eye it- and the knife block in the kitchen- as you clench your fist to keep yourself from fainting while you gawk.
âY-Youâre not my dog.â
One of his brows lifts with amusement- or challenge, perhaps- as you deny the truth laid out before you. Itâs impossible. Of course itâs impossible. He-
That canât be Sylus.
For a moment you believe heâll agree. Nod his head and say, no, Iâm not your dog- Iâm a person; because thatâs certainly how he looks. But he doesnât.
âI simply changed forms,â he explains. âNot who I am to you.â
With nothing else to say- no real rebuttal- you can only flounder. âN-No. Youâre not Sylus.â
That pulls a soft huff from him, âOh, kitten,â he grins a tenuous grin, âIâm wounded. And here I thought your kindness had no takebacks. You gave me that name, didnât you? Sylus.â He sighs, a heavy, affected sound- like this is no more than a theater play to him as he adjusts on your sofa.
âI guess Iâll just have to settle for something else, then⌠Is Dragonfruit still up for grabs?â
D-Dragonfruit? How does heâŚ
The way he looks at you then, with a lift of his chin as he angles his brow in provocation, a smirk only touching half his mouth- makes you freeze. The little hairs on your nape rise.
âŚYet heâs just as scarred as your pet, with the silver hair and the gemstone eyesâ massive, over six foot tall and muscular- and the air about him is⌠familiar. Too much to be comfortable with.
âY-Youâre not-â
Before you can splutter out another denial, he sighs and drops the bravado. He spares the weapon beside him a dismissive glance, stretching one arm across the back of the couch.
âLook, if you donât believe me, thatâs your choice. I wonât try to convince you,â he states, âIâll just let my actions speak for themselves in the course of the next few days.â
âŚWhat? The next few days? Does he plan to stay? What- no. No no no! This mysterious, albeit helpful stranger (helpful in the way that he shook your persistent ex from your doorstep- through violent means, of course) canât seriously think youâll just let him crash at your place after feeding you such a ridiculous lie. Heâs not your dog. Heâs- heâs not some werewolf that can shapeshift on a whim- those only exist in fairytales and teenage romance novels.
Not in your tiny apartment.
âN-No. You- youâre crazy. You have to leave. You have to! Iâll- Iâll call the cops!â
Not-Sylus seems unfazed. Perhaps even a little offended at your bluffing: the vehemence is there. But the certainty is not.
Sure, the department wasnât having your stalker drama- but an intrusion youâre actually witnessing like this canât be easily ignored. If your crappy ex ends up snitching (you doubt it, what with his involvement)- all the more evidence, right?
He all but rolls his eyes, saying like itâs obvious, perhaps even with a mite of amusement, âIâm on your side, kitten. Donât get allâŚâ he looks you up and down, and you hate the flutter of your heart thatâs more than just fearfulâ itâs self-conscious. âHissy now.â
You punch out a scoff of disbelief. âYouâre some stranger in my house! Look- I appreciate what you did, okay? I really do,â you start. You have to pause in between to take a breath because God knows you mean the words you say- youâre just inwardly afraid that the fix was only quick, not permanent, and with the sudden disappearance of your dog? Good luck protecting yourself now. Fuck, you donât even know where he went- maybe he booked it out through the door when you were too distracted by the chaos to notice.
But then⌠why the hell would he leave? He- Heâs never done that until now!
You rub your face and stare at him. The fear lends itself to a distant echo the more you realize youâre no longer in immediate danger. The guy is an unwelcome (and flashy, literally) intruder, yes, one your pooch would waste no time in maiming, but heâs not an active threat... You just have to figure out how to get him to leave.
âBut my dog is a dog. Not a human. Not⌠you.â That you even have to say it out loud is ridiculous.
Even if, the longer you stare, the more you begin to believe it.
The scarred skin, the unmistakable, red eyes, and the somewhat bitten ears- his body weathered from what you suspect to be years of tussling in underground fights (evidently: winning them, not without the cost though)âŚ
And that arrogant little air he carries with him, the one that first endeared you so.
Sylus, it all says.
But no. No- this is insane. Months of being stalked and living like a bug under a microscope have made you worse for wear. Impaired your judgment.
He draws you back to the present with his rumbling voice. âYour dog is more than just some animal,â he huffs. âDonât tell me after all youâve experienced with the stalker that youâre⌠frightened of this side of me? Really? Of all things?â His chuckle is as rich as it is short as he shakes his head.
Frightened? No⌠that becomes a more distant word. Youâre more so stunned than anything else right now as the pieces start to fall in alignment with each other.
âWell, how about this,â he offers at your silence, waving his hand. âLet the week pass. By the end of it, you can decide for yourself if Iâm real or truly just a figment of your imagination, sweetheart⌠YouâŚâ he lowers his gaze, then. Uncertain, almost.
âYou can even decide if you want me to stay.â
He rubs nothing between his fingers, glancing up again with a pointed brow. âDeal?â
And if you say no? If, on the off chance youâre wrong and you kick him right back to the curb- to a sorry life of abandonment and bloody illegal brawls and God knows what else?
Your mouth wavers. âI- I donât believe it.â
You do believe it. But itâs crazy.
He almost snorts. âYouâd better start. But with that pest taken care of now⌠I think youâll catch on quite fast,â he grins. âIâm here for you, kitten. Isnât that what you wanted me for? Protection? Donât tell me once I serve my use youâll throw me out?â He laughs. But then he sighs right after, pursing his lips and looking down to his lap where he makes no effort to adjust the thin blanket that covers his nakedness as it nearly slips.
Headstrong. Cocksure. Bored with his surroundings in a way only mature folk really tend to be. The sage advice of that employee flashes in your mindâ âheâs on the older side, so naturally heâs a bit grumpy, snippyâ; really, you shouldnât gasp at his temperament but with your current situation itâs a little hard not to when he clips out-
âSo? Do we have a deal or not?â
And, well, whatâs the harm in giving him your couch for one night?
Or several.
âŚ
A wintry chill pricks up your neck. Along your arms. Down your limbs where they bundle beneath the covers- to the tips of your toes as you respond with a shiver.
It rattles you in tandem with pleasure.
Upon waking, a few things blitz through your mind too fast to catch. For one, youâve woken before your alarm- meaning youâll be miserable in the minutes or hours of consciousness before it actually does go off. Secondly, the bed feels heavier.
âŚAs do your bones.
Thirdâ Sylus is not on the couch like heâs been for the past few months. Heâs with you, in the comfort of your own bed, and as the wooly blanket slips down your upper half- leaving you to the cold air- it reveals to you a head between your thighs.
Pried open. One held up for a soft kiss while the other is pinned downâ both wet. Sticky with- with you.
You gasp. âSylus-â
Youâve no time to even rub the sleep from your eyes, big weathered hands anchoring you in place, because he lifts his head from his plate for a millisecond when you try to stop him and does something he hasnât for months.
He snarls.
âQuiet. Iâm eating.â
Protective. Territorial. That isnât your pussy he eats from, lapping fervently at it as if it wasnât just a number of hours ago you were hand-feeding him steak cubes from the cutting trayâ no, itâs his.
He blocks your hand from interfering when it slips beneath the cover. So when that doesnât work, you attempt to clamp your legs shut (quavering, you realize, on either side of his lupine face). All your efforts- bogged by sleep and the simple fact that he was leagues stronger- are for naught.
âGood tryâ, his eyes seem to tease, though, glittering devilishly at you as his tongue flicks your clit. And then, when you hesitantly lie back and rest a hand in his hair- âthatâs it, kitten.â
âGood girl,â he practically purrs.
Heâs got a big appetite. Youâve known that.
Not as much as you do right now.
âSylus, wait wait wait,â you moan. Life has thrown so much your way, especially in the past year or so, but you never went belly-up for it. You fought and resisted and squared up.
But right now, half of you almost wants to take him lying down- let him take his fill of you and then pin you down to take some more. Let him have his way with you, whatever that may entail.
But you- You have work tomorrow, and- and responsibilitiesâ
âHush,â he goes, voice muffled, having some preternatural ability to tell just what youâre thinking. He drifts a hand up your belly to splay over the valley of your breast. Your heart thumps beneath his callous palm like a metronome. Like a ticking clock, counting down the seconds or hours before you need to get up and get ready. Start a day in which you leave home, leave Sylus, and spend the rest of it longing to get back.
âJust take the day off.â
Grudgingly, you lie your head back. Itâs⌠not a great idea, but as your rationale clouds, it seems like your best one.
âO-Okay.â
As a hot, long tongue stripes up your pussy and then his other hand, the one he used to comfort you in his own weird way, slinks downward again- the ceiling becomes too boring to bear.
So you glance down.
Heâs handsome as all get out. Really, a couple months ago when he first appeared to you as a human, that was all you could think as days passed and you became grossly aware that you were sharing a confined space with a man. That you had been all alongâ and your prancing around the apartment half-naked was just one of the countless spectacles heâd seen.
He never pounced, though. Never lunged. Never bit you like a dog or hurt you like a man, even when every bit of his crude exterior screamed hazardous. He was a good boy. And you donât care what form he takes; he took you as you are, didnât he? When you were scared of your own shadow and a little snippy because of it. He let you hold the leash to his heart and snarled at anything that came too close- protected you against your piece of crap ex without prompting. Turned your fear into a mellow thing.
Warmth prods at your heart. Loosens your legs up where they clench around his head.
That day at the pound turns in your memory like a spindle.
You couldâve lost him. He- He couldâve been gone forever hadnât you showed.
âŚBut you did show. For the shitty time youâd been having, Sylus was your one silver lining. You were there for each other as a shoulder to lean on and a hand to hold.
Your fingers tug gently on his scalp. Fruity shampoo breathes out from the blanket when you flip it over his head to allow him better access. Nerves eat you from the inside out. Youâve seen the looks, the hungering glances and felt the fingertips that linger in seemingly innocent touches:
Finally experiencing the culmination of his quiet longing is a whole different game, though.
Slurps ring out from your thighs. Your sighing, candied words- spoken in that ridiculous tone reserved only for him- make his ears perk atop his head.
âGood boy,â you breathe. âY-Youâre perfect.â
He rewards your obedience with a finger, thick and delightful. You gasp and arch your back into his hands- or, his one hand- a throaty moan rippling from his open mouth. The several little muscles in his face go lax when you coyly guide him deeper into your cunt and he melts.
âYou taste delicious,â he whispers. âSweet girl. I can-â a deep, shivering inhale. Not from you- from him. âI can smell how much you want itâŚ. Youâre soaked.â
You mewl his name and almost reach full relaxation âtil you glance back down and, with the covers off, spot where his other hand disappears. Heâs naked- not in the boxer briefs and sweatpants youâd bid him goodnight in- and holds his fat, upright cock in his hand.
And his hand is big. Can dwarf every part of you with its hold.
His cock is somehow bigger.
Your heart leaps from your chest as he eyes you. Heâs daunting. Every bit intimidating and then some- especially as you realize he wonât be just content with kitten licking your pussy, delicious as it is, and ending the intimate moment right afterward.
Dogs will always take the bowl if you slide them one: and then look to you later for seconds.
Point is- heâs insatiable.
You shiver as raunchy images flash in your brainâ rough fingers pinning back your thighs as he rams inside you, setting a relentless pace as he bites and sucks and claims.
In your imagination, he doesnât pull out when he comes.
âŚWhat really takes your breath is the engorged knot at the base of him, though, flushed an impatient red. Fattening by the second.
Cum- not pre- dribbles from the tip. For how long heâs been at this, you donât know.
âSylus-!â You mean to shriek it, but you can only manage a whispering scream. âWait, wait, wait! what do you have in your hand-!â
A grin plays at his lips. Crooked, recalcitrant.
Challenging.
Heâs hardly lucid, what with the delicious heat emanating from the slick lips he stuffs a second finger in, to acknowledge your question, so itâs surprising when he pulls back a centimeter to make an answer. Lust grips him tightâ the need to fuck and take and mountâ but that concerned, cute little bump in your brow is one he wants to smooth.
Itâs the least he can do.
âTake a guess,â he sussurates, licking slowly up your inner thigh. Torturing you. âItâll be in yours soon though, kitten, so get ready.â
Your eyes bulge from your skull.
His response: a low chuckle paired with a moan.
From that point on, even as he suckles expertly at your puffy clit, working you to a sniveling mess as you scream on his fingers, youâre focused entirely on what heâs doing below the blanket. He palms at himself- itâs all he can do to relieve the ache as he wrestles with his fraying self-control- massaging his balls and knot as they throb.
When he withdraws his digits from you, eyes drooping at the cream coating his knuckles before fluttering back at the taste of itâ you lie back down and gulp.
Taking work off today is a good idea. You can already think of a few excuses. Not being able to walk properly is one of them. Being unable to get out of bed⌠Feeling so sore and feverish after heâs fucked you into pyrexia that you canât even move an inch without being reminded of it.
He straightens. The cover slips off him entirely and heâs tall. Hulking. Painting you in his shadow- but the moonlight brings out the sheer hunger on his face, and you alight with warmth all over again.
You hope heâs primed you. You pray heâs done good to prepare you for whatâs to come. Because oh, itâs coming. You know that.
âNow,â he heaves, dragging your legs either side of him as he kneels. You can tell heâs not well off, trying to muster a cocksure grin but failing as he perspires at the temple. âTo the good part.â
You frown at that, almost- a pang of hurt weaving through the haze of desire and the smell of your musk on his fingers as he licks them clean again, ever thorough. He notes the flicker of your brow with a thoughtful pause and then a sigh, shaking his head as he grabs your jaw and angles his front down.
He chuckles, and you experience a singular flash of softness when he goes, âOh, so sensitive⌠Donât pout. I thoroughly enjoyed the opening too, kitten.â
Youâre shaking. Insides molten with the pure want for him to just- to just do something already. Thereâs no opportunity to come down from your high because you feel his cock bob against your tummy as he sets himself up, and you burn anew.
Oh, you love him. You really do. Heâs endearing in all the places he shouldnât be. Heâs charming and strong and willing to fight for you. So you donât care if heâs a little old and slow on the uptake when it comes to new tricks- territorial and intimidating. Heâs yours.
Eyes half open, you lift your hands to trail from his pecs to his firm, scarred belly. With a hiss, he trembles. Catches your wrists and tuts at you a second later, saying, âItâs better to keep those at your side. Once you get me going, I wonât be easy to stop.â
And youâd be half tempted to tease him some more, you know, but fuck if he isnât massive. And fuck if you arenât a little scared for it.
So you clutch the sheets as he drives himself inside with a grunt, and settle below him. You trust heâll take care of you.
The entrance is, at first, surprisingly smooth, what with the natural lube youâve provided for him. You let him lift your ass and bend you into a bow-shaped thing so he can hit deeper- and thatâs when thereâs some turbulence.
Your fingers curl into the cotton fabric. You brace and wait for the sting to subside. When you realize your eyes are clamped shut, though, you open them to see his expression and pall at the sight of him.
Heâs gorgeous. Even when he looks like heâs ready to sneeze- brow scrunched and jaw slack as he dragoons himself inside, tormentingly slow- heâs nothing less than charming through your lens. But youâre thankful for the time he gives you to adjust because you need it.
Frankly, if he intends to put his knot insideâ and he fucking wonât, thereâs just no wayâ the walls of your pussy need the patience on his end.
For several seconds, Sylus does not breathe. Youâre sizzling hot; when he eventually bottoms out, he canât tell where he starts and you end- all he knows is that itâs gooey and warm and so fucking tight his balls throb. He deliquesces between your thighs. You welcome him, your body like a landing pad.
He supposes, right then, youâve always been very hospitable.
Sylus curses. âNgh, youâre tight... Loosen up,â he presses his forehead to yours and hisses out through his teeth. His eyes glitter like rhodolite in the dark. Reverent hands run down your side and clasp your hip. With your slick still coating his lips- tangy sweet, you find, as he presses them to yours- you realize heâs worshipful. The moonlight pouring in the blinds makes his silhouette glow a true blue.
âYouâre perfect,â he murmurs, swiping over your bottom lip with his tongue. âSweet, and soft. And a very good girl. Iâve got your back. You know that, donât you?â Then, he draws his hips back andâ
Your little bed judders. But the squeak that sounds out is yours as he ruts back inside and your labia brushes with his knot.
He wonât put it inside. He wonât. Youâre sure of it. Mutts only do that when theyâre mating. Mutts only do that. Sylus is- is so much more than that, andâŚ.
âMmm,â an uncontrollable moan escapes you as he begins to move, like really move, and your eyes roll.
With some difficulty, he continues. âYouâre naive. Plucking something like me from its cage. But I admire your bravery, kitten, soâ f- uckâ let me just show you, hm? How far my loyalty goes?â
Void of words, you nod.
The reindeer-patterned bedsheets arenât enough. Your hands leave them in favor of Sylus, grasping around his back so tight your fingertips can make out the raised scars there. Planes of muscle flexing with divots with every thrust forward.
Offhandedly, he hits that sweet spot inside you. Your nails dig in by accident, and you say his name, stringing out the syllables in a delightful, dizzying mewl.
The floodgates- they burst open. Something in him gives.
He rams forward, abandoning his restraint altogether as his furry, salt-and-peppered tail whacks the mattress beneath you. That fat swell below his cock teases at your sweltering hole with every pump inside, and Sylus burrows his nose into your sweaty neck to whimper.
Youâve never heard such a noise escape him before. Huffs, grumbles, long, exaggerated sighs he makes whenever he finds a nice spot to lay down (usually on you), as if he pays the rent around hereâ but never that.
He whines, words strained, âThink you can take my knot? Hah⌠Nod your head for me, kitten- because I donât think that I can stop it. I canât wait any longer. I need you toâŚâ he shudders, âtake it.â
One moment youâre nervously glancing down to monitor him- and the next heâs nudging your head back with his nose before crashing his lips to yours. Your eyes widen when he flips you over, presses his chest to your back, and thrusts inside with vigor.
With the new angle, you stretch around him with a mewl, but every bone in your body locks when his hips slam flush to your ass andâ
His knot pops inside with a gasp.
Throwing your hands to the strong ones he latches around your midriff, you wail. He clings to you like a limpet, his thighs trembling behind yours as he moans endlessly in your ear. Pointed teeth graze at the nape of your neck. He doesnât bite- but amidst the warp of pain and a pleasure so intense it gives you vertigo, you distantly realize that he probably wants to.
He holds himself off. Breath hitching as his pelvis claps into you. Euphoria rolls across him, shocks him like a static bolt, every fiber of his being awash with it as his jaw falls open and he succumbs to you.
When he comes, itâs so hard his ears ring.
The walls of your pussy become less hospitable, then, clenching around him so tight as you both cum that for a moment, he canât even say a word to ease you. He aches inside you- you can feel it. The girth of him twitching as your heat swallows him up with a spasm. His knot takes all thought from your brain. Stuffed inside your poor hole, tumid and veiny.
You feel him coalesce with you, too. Eagerly rutting his seed inside (ensuring it sticks, you realize when he drops a finger to your folds, checking for leakage), releasing rope after rope of hot cum as you go limp and take it.
You offer up a choked mewl when he kisses at your spine, brushing your hair aside just to access your neck where he licks and sucks. You trust Sylus not to get carried away with a bite if he did, to lose out to what heâs been taught.
Evidently, he doesnât trust himself.
Your fingers dig into his thick, scarred forearm and he sighs behind you- a long, feeble sound. Heâs barely able to keep himself draped over you- let alone support your own position beneath him, what with the soup youâve made of his brain- but he manages.
Silence sprawls out as you attempt to steady your breaths. All that comes in between it is the occasional, wet squelch and the gusting inhales he takes at the column of your neck.
âIt⌠hurts. So goodâŚâ he hisses after several beats. Only marginally brought back to reality, you flutter your eyes open and offer a yip back. âYouâre doing so well, though⌠Just-â He twitches inside you, then, throbbing like a second pulse point, his cock undulating in your walls, greedily taking up all the space.
âFuck. Stay still, sweet girl,â he grunts, harebrained. His eyes crinkle and close. âI want it all inside. Donât wanna see so much as a drop escape that perfect, tight pussy. Hah- you hear me?â
âY-Yes,â you quiver back. Speaking is too difficult, you realize a second later, shoving your open mouth into the pillow as you pant for air.
Yet, you canât help but ask with a slur, âSylus- when- when will it be over?â
He moans, right in your ear. Goosebumps run up your naked body- all that clothes you.
âItâs too big,â you cry.
âNo,â he quips. âItâs just right.â
As if on cue, your cunt gives another squeeze around him, milking him for all heâs worth. In response, he bows his forehead into the crook your shoulder and jaw make to bury a whine, and your mind spins when you register his balls, hanging fat against your ass, lurching. And oh, youâre spilling, you can feel it, beginning to ooze profusely from your puffy lips even as he keeps it plugged; really, even if Sylus wanted to separate from you (he doesnât), he couldnât.
Thereâs nothing in him that wants the distance. The idea of self-autonomy. The idea of independence. No- heâs all yours.
âWeâll wait it out,â he breathes. Coasting a hand along your belly in an effort to placate you. He knows it canât be easy for you. But the worldâ that stupid, irksome ex-boyfriend of yoursâ needs to understand where your heart belongs. Thereâs no better way to show that than to demonstrate it first with the body.
And youâ
(Bitten by his branding kiss, supple skin covered with the divots of his teeth, your belly full of his veritable seed-)
Well. Nobody should look at you, he decides in his spirit right then, and come to any other conclusion but the one that youâre his.
Unmistakably, irrevocably, his.
âItâll subside soon enough,â he soothes with a peck to your throat, a surprisingly chaste move. He loops his arms around your waist again and carefully- mindful not to exacerbate the heady ache- maneuvers on his side, pulling your back to his front. He whispers at your ear, âSo long as you donât move or stir me up, weâll be fine.â
Yet, a set of canines brush at your jugular, and again- thereâs that inkling, this time in better clarity, that passes your conscience. You know he wants to bite. To mark. To claim. You know it and have the vague idea of all it entails, yet he⌠wonât.
With a frown, cursing as you turn ever so slightly and his fat knot shifts inside you, you hazily meet his eyes.
His are practically glowing, laying heavy on you. Charting across your face the moment they make contact, observing every brief flicker of your expression to try and assign a feelingâ happiness, he hopes, contentednessâ to it. His lashes totter and you burn with shame when a lewd suck rings between your legs, his cock wet all the way down to the slight plush of his abdomen.
You donât mean to pout, âwhy wonât you-â
âNot yet, Kitten,â he scolds. Trying to swallow down a pit of self-consciousness in your throat, you murmur, âWhat, do you not want me?â Sylus huffs as if offended. His eyes drag from your lips to your searching eyes.
âReally, kitten? âŚWhat, should I give you an equally stupid answer?â
Oh, youâd tug his tail if you had the luxury of moving right now-
âOf course I want you. Canât you tell?â He sighs, then, burrowing his nose into your neck almost to hide. His ears droop along his head, donning a relaxed look.
âSo. Did you like it..?â
âY-YeahâŚâ you murmur, carefully looping a hand back to stroke behind his fuzzy ears. âBut, I just⌠I thought youâd really do it, I thought youâd really tie us together-â
He chuckles richly. âWeâre already tied together, kitten,â peppering another kiss below your jaw, licking appreciatively at the sweat that clings to soft skin. âIâve belonged to you for some time now, havenât I?â
Your heart skips a beat when you realize heâs right.
âI- I guess so. Yeah.â
âSo no more whining,â he lifts his chin to sample your lips, this time- his knot still throbbing white-hot and insistently inside you (albeit the ache is lessening)- eyes lidded as he conveys his affections.
âIâll do it when weâre both ready. WhenâŚâ He pauses to swallow.
In that short frame of time before he next speaks, youâre drawn to all his scarring. The faded ligature marks around his neck, the seemingly permanent gnashes along his body (which was a touch too lean before you familiarized him with good food). The nip taken from one of the ears sat atop his silvery, mussed locks. In that moment, you donât see the misshapen, loveless thing he was beaten intoâ but rather the softness he worked to regain for you.
âWhen I know itâs manageable.â
If he feels unsure of himself- whether he can remain⌠civil, for lack of a better word, amidst the fervent haze that a mark would bring aboutâ then you suppose you could wait for a bit longer.
âOkay,â you murmur with a faint, understanding smile, caressing one half of his face dotingly. You tilt your head slightly to plant a firm, benevolent kiss to the corner of his mouth.
âBut youâll always be a good boy to me, okay? I trust you. I told you before- youâre perfect-â Rather roughly, he noses your head back into the pillow, readjusting his iron hold around you as he grumbles into your hair.
ââŚHush. Now close your eyes and go back to bed. Iâll tell you when itâs ready to pull out.â
Wolfdog hybrid who was surrendered time and time again due to his behavioral issues. Who could not stay with a family more than a few weeks.
The shelter tried to beg you to rethink adopting him. He was a lost cause they said. Not only did you not believe them, it made you even more determined to adopt him.
Wolfdog hybrid who genuinely expected he would be sleeping somewhere outside. As he always did. His brain genuinely shortcut when he realized he was given his own room in the house. Although he would rather eat glass than admit your kindness got under his skin.
Wolfdog hybrid who doesnât speak much. He will mumble a âthanks..â when you feed him. He would never admit how much he loves the food. Itâs the best heâs ever had. He never expected you to go out of your way to cook nutritious meals suited just for him.
Wolfdog hybrid who slowly, but surely, will glue himself to you. At first he will just be in the same room, then he will sit closer and closer until finally he is nuzzled into you.
Wolfdog hybrid who will not sleep without you. At first he would sneak into your room and sleep on the floor, thinking youâd kick him out if you saw him. When you didnât, even more, when you told him not to sleep on the floor and get in bed? Heâs done for. Hugs you so tight to his chest, mumbling âmine mine mineâ.
Wolfdog hybrid who will insist on watching you shower under the pretext of âwhat if you slip and fall and die?â. But he knows itâs more than that. He wonât scare you with it yet.
Wolfdog hybrid who jerks off until it hurts while nuzzling your clothes when youâre not home. He wants you so bad, but he also wants to be good for you. Doesnât want to scare you with how feral he is for you yet. So for now, he settles. Whenever youâre away, he will take your dirty clothes from the laundry basket and muffle his moans with them while he strokes his cock until itâs painful to even get hard anymore.
Wolfdog hybrid who loves you so much and will make sure one day you will know all about it.
Ox!hybrid!Simon Riley x Farmer!reader (18+ MDNI) (poll winner)
CW - smut, monsterfucking tbh, unprotected sex, yay. Thereâs kind of a plot but really itâs just bs. I just write bullshit guys sorry. Just put me down if you hate it. Iâm kidding. Love u
Say it with me now, Isle doesnât do beta read!!! If you see any typos, no you didnât.
â
âYea Beth, yea I can take him,â you muttered, phone pressed between your ear and shoulder, sat on the dusty barn floor. You had a bottle in one hand, and a feisty lamb in the other, trying to squirm out of your hold towards the milk.
âThank you, Iâve called everywhere, not many people are interested in an ox hybrid that hasnât been socializedâŚâ
The lamb bleated while you situated yourself, allowing it to suckle on the bottle as strands of your hair found their way into your mouth. You spit a few times, attempting to clear them.
âIâll be at yours in maybe.. an hour?â
You furrowed your brows, nearly dropping your phone as you replied to your friend.
âAn hour!? Beth, I thought Iâd at least have a couple more? Iâve still got to take the old hay out of the stall is Iâm taking this hybrid,â you groaned, standing up after the lamb eagerly finished his breakfast.
Brushing your hands on your pants and quickening your pace towards the older stall at the end of the barn, you finally grabbed your phone to hold it near your ear.
âYea, well, rescues arenât convenient. See you shortly.â
The line cut, leaving you to stand in front of the stall, sighing. Goats bleated from the pasture, and a few of the older horses sounded from their trough. The dust seemed to never settle, swirling in the air as you rolled your sleeves up.
Fingers wrapping around the pitchfork, you begun to empty the room of the older hay. Youâd used that stall for a sheep that recently given birth, not having the time to clean it since. Sheâd been back with the flock a few hours later. Itâd only been dirty two days, but you felt a little ashamed.
You knew this wouldnât be the size an ox hybrid usually needed, but it would have to do for now. It wasnât uncommon for you to accept rescues, especially hybrids. While you didnât keep hybrids on the farm long-term like you did other animals, you had developed quite the reputation as the last hope for emergency situations.
When Beth had called you, begging you to take an ox hybrid from a repossessed farm, you agreed instantly. Your biggest rescue to date, for hybrids at least.
Once youâd cleared out the stall, you set it up with fresh hay, and a few good scoops of feed. It smelled like straw, smelled clean.
Beth would be getting there any moment, prompting your brisk walk to the driveway as you heard rocks from the long road crunching under tires.
You brimmed your eyes with your hand, recognizing Bethâs white truck, muddy and nearly brown, with a large trailer in tow.
A cloud of dirt kicked up behind the truck as she pulled up to where you were standing, and switching off the engine. Beth hopped out of the drivers seat, slamming the door as she walked up to you, squinting her eyes a bit.
âI know it was short notice hun, but this one was bad,â she spoke as she hugged you, pulling away and setting her weight on her left hip, ânot really sure what they had this guy doing, but he wonât speak, and he snorts whenever we get too close. Big boy, too. Probably 250lbs, well over 6 feet.â
You followed Beth to the trailer, crossing your arms as she unlatched the door. Birds sang around you, warm heat shining down at the hinges groaned at the movement.
Shit, she wasnât kidding.
A hybrid larger than any youâd ever seen, standing in the center of the trailer, hands bound, and a collar with two chains attached to the sides of the car to keep him stabilized during travel.
His eyes were low lidded, instantly trained and tracking both of your movements. His body was covered in a thin, yet solid layer of hair. It was blonde, matching the top of his head. Loose, tan trousers hung from his hips, dirty and torn. His thighs were large, strengthened from years of labor, as well as his biceps and forearms. His nose was slightly rectangular, emphasizing his bullish roots.
But what really caught your eye were his horns. Long and smooth, about a foot each, curving forward at the tips.
Beth stepped up into the trailer, moving slowly as she unhooked the chains connected to his collar, and started to walk him out.
âHe hasnât tried to hurt anyone, only huffing when we get too close to him. About three feet is as close as weâve gotten. Not terrible,â she called to you, eyes trained on his movements as he exited the trailer.
Beth spoke as if he couldnât understand her. A lot of people did that around hybrids, people who didnât understand.
His hooves clacked against the metal until they met dirt, changing to a muffled thump. You were rather intrigued by his hooves, as he still had human hands. Hybrids never failed to surprise you, as they really had no specific look outside of characteristics.
âYouâre big, arenât you?â You asked him, tilting your head as he snorted quickly when Beth moved up to try to remove his collar. He didnât respond.
Beth sighed, walking over and handing you the chains attached to the poor bulls collar.
âLook, I got shit to do, and none of it involves getting the collar off this brute. Thanks again for taking him, Iâll see ya,â she says all too quickly, packing up her trailer and hopping in her truck.
You grumble and wave her off before your eyes meet the his, which havenât left your form since you took the chains.
âDo you know why youâre here?â You asked, half expecting not to get an answer, before a gruff voice sounded.
âHot.â
You paused for a moment, before blinking and nodding your head.
âRight, it is hot out here. Iâve got a stall fresh and ready for you, water too,â you replied, gesturing to the stable with your head, maintaining eye contact.
Though he still looked as tense as before, he grunted, taking a step forward, but not another until you did. The chains rattled quietly, and you eyed his neck.
âWould you let me take that off of you? Itâs inhumane,â you said, turning to face him before you would walk to the stable.
He seemed to ponder for a moment, before taking a knee, and then fully kneeling. His eyes, blue and apprehensive, bore directly into your soul despite his obvious cooperation.
You carefully approached him, keeping your hands visible. You held one out, allowing him to get your scent before touching him.
His face and body were littered with scars. Some were shallow, some were deep, and one cleared his upper lip to his eye, giving him a cleft. It almost looked like he was sneering.
You battled with the thick leather for a moment, listening to it drop to the ground once it gave. You made quick work of the bindings on his hands, trusting that he wouldnât get crazy.
When you stepped away, he stood again. He didnât thank you, but rather gestured to the stable with his chin as he looked at you.
âWater.â
You nodded, offering a gentle smile while you led him to the stables. His heavy hooves sounded behind you despite his calm pace.
As you entered the stables, he ducked his head, attempting not to hit his horns on the wooden beams. You held your hand out to present the small stall, swallowing thickly.
âI know itâs not much, far too small than youâd like, but Iâll get you situated in a bigger stall in the main barn soon. This is temporary,â you explained, watching his cautious entry into the building, and the stall. He glanced at fresh hay, and then the water.
He moved slightly quicker than he had before, dropping to his knees and dipping his head to the container. He slurped up the lukewarm water in gulps, his eyes fluttering closed.
You watched for a moment, noticing how his long, floppy ears would flick as a fly landed, or how his fur ran up the flat bridge of his nose.
âDo you have a name?â
The hybrid stopped drinking, his hands holding the sides of the bucket as he looked up at you.
âSimon.â
You nodded, introducing yourself to him. When he didnât say much else, you took that as your cue. You imagined he was tired, and wasnât exactly in the mood for a chat.
âWell, Simon, Iâm going to tend to my chores, but Iâll be back in a few hours to check on you. Please, familiarize yourself with the stables, Iâll be out in the pasture, if you need me.â
He just stared at you, not moving from his kneeling position.
Youâd give him some space.
â
You had been fixing a couple posts in the far corner of the pastures for the last two hours, barbed wire snagging your thick gloves every now and again. Youâd gotten pricked twice on the forearm, the small cuts dried up by this point.
Sweat beaded down your forehead, and you grumbled softly to yourself as you yanked out a rusted nail from the post, putting the object in your toolkit so none of the sheet got into it.
Normally, the sheep would be coming up behind you and trying to see what you were getting up to by now, but they hadnât come. You were a little confused, hammering in a replacement nail before turning to see your flock, only to be met with him.
He was standing a few yards from you, staring you down. You werenât sure how long heâd been there, but a lamb grazed near his hooves, meaning he didnât just get there.
You wiped your forearm across your forehead, standing up fully and packing up your toolkit. You carried the box over to where he stood, your hand covering the sun from your eyes as the lamb bleating in excitement to your feet.
âFound your way into the pastures, did you Simon?â You asked, offering a light grin as he blinked at you.
Hybrids were a mixed bag. Some spoke as humans did, others spoke sparingly, and some not at all. But they all understood.
âMany sheep.â
You hummed, chuckling softly as you knelt down to pick up the lamb, cradling her to your chest.
âYou know why youâre here, right Simon?â You questioned, wanting to make sure he wasnât confused with his situation.
âYes,â he replied, glancing down for a moment before his eyes met yours again, âowners before, did not pay. Lost land.â
You nodded, setting the lamb back down and grabbing your toolbox once more while beginning to walk down the hill towards your farmhouse.
Simon followed.
âYou know, Iâve rescued a lot of hybrids, Simon. But none have been as big as you,â you complimented, fanning your face slightly from the heat, âdid your previous owners work you?â
He didnât respond for a moment, still following you over the grass.
âSomething like work,â he replied, clearly not looking to speak about it any further.
â
It had been a few weeks since youâd gotten Simon. Youâd moved him into a larger stall in the main barn, to which he seemed pleased. He didnât speak much unless prompted, and enjoyed watching you work. He would stand for hours, keeping an eye as you fixed up areas around the pasture.
One afternoon, you stood in front of a rather large hay bale, too exhausted to move it into the barn. Youâd already done 10, the smaller kind that were easy to transport. You needed the large bale after a deep clean, it was the stall straw.
Simon had been watching, his ears flicking slightly in interested when you had stared at the bald for over ten minutes.
The hybrid walked up behind you, you could hear his hooves, and smell his musky scent. You turned your head slightly, noticing he was closer than he ever had been.
âI can move it,â he offered, looking at you with neutral eyes, though something in his tone hinted that he wanted to.
You shrugged, stepping aside and gesturing to the bale.
âThatâd be a great help, Simon. I need it in that stall,â you spoke, your finger pointing to the stall near the end of the barn.
Simon just huffed. It wasnât a warning, but an acknowledgment. Like he was proud to do it.
You expected the bull to push it, as that was the easiest way, yet he didnât. Simon made his way around the large bale, eyeing it for a moment before turning his back, kneeling, and hooking his hands into the twine that held the bale together.
Suddenly, he stood, exhaling loudly, and picking up the bale with ease. His muscles flexed through his skin, showing even through the layer of hair. His hooves thudded against the barn floor, his thighs magnificent as they carried Simon to do what he was built for.
In less than two minutes, the bale was settled in the hay stall, something that wouldâve taken you at least half an hour.
You followed behind him, a large grin plastered on your face.
âSimon, that was amazing! You lifted that like it was nothing!â You gushed, watching has he shook his head, dislocating the straw him his hair as he stepped closer to you.
He didnât reply immediately, just peering down at you for a moment before he knelt, looking up at you.
âTouch..â he said softly, blinking at you with long, thick lashes.
You were a bit speechless for a moment, tilting your head as you cleared your throat. You couldnât deny the hybrid was attractive, his body nearly fully human aside from his hooves, horns, ears, small tail, and hair. He looked like the burly ranch hands youâd employ for seasonal work, just hybrid.
You reached out, carefully touching his head before he pushed upwards, his eyes closing as a whisper of a smile graced his lips.
He groaned softly, enjoying your fingers now confidently threading through his hair, drifting down to scratch behind his ear.
âThis what you want?â You ask softly, kneeling to be at his level.
His eyes opened slightly, still leaned fully into your hand.
âWant you,â he mumbled, barely concentrating on words with your fingers so delicately scratching him, âmate..â
He suddenly moved closer to you, knocking you backwards from your knees onto the floor. You caught yourself with your elbows as Simonâs nose began to press against your neck, mindfully keeping his horns away from your face.
He took a deep breath, his thick arms wrapping around your waist as his tongue gently lapped at the sensitive skin.
âS-Simon!â You squeaked, unsure how you felt about the situation, despite knowing you were surprised.
âNice to me.. let me help.. want you for mate..â he muttered as he scented you again, nearly drunk off of your scent. But just as quickly as it happened, he pulled back, shaking his head slightly.
He huffed slightly, the warning snort he first made when Beth was getting him out of the trailer.
âWhat..? What was that?â You asked, scrambling to your feet.
You looked down at him, and he huffed again, looking almost scared.
âStop snorting, Iâm not going away. What was that about?â You asked, this time taking a step closer to him.
Simon clenched his teeth slightly, blinking a few times before a low groan came from his throat.
âNeed mate.. want you.. but..â he trailed off, glancing down at your body, and then at his, âI think too fragile..â
Your brows furrowed for a moment before your heart nearly stopped, and you swallowed thickly.
You had heard that bulls often got kickstarted into their rut from random things, especially showing off to a potential mate. That was exactly what the hybrid was doing, showing off his strength to impress you.
But now, Simon was fully restraining himself, especially after heâd gotten a whiff of your scent. Warm, sweaty, straw. You smelled good, you smelled like what he had grown to become fond of in the last few weeks.
He had to pull himself off of you, a moment longer and he wouldnât have stopped.
He was grinding his molars, panting a bit as he looks towards his stall, and back to you. He stood, chest heaving as his nose twitched.
âIâm not fragile,â you replied, taking a deep breath, âI agreed to rescue you⌠and that means taking care of you.â
That was all he needed to hear, quickly hoisting you up over his shoulder with a surprised yelp from your lips. Simon carried you to his stall as if you weighed nothing, and set you down on the packed up straw in the corner.
His nose was pressing into your neck again, with surprising awareness of his horns in relation to yourself. His hands ran along your body, pointed black nails dragging against your clothing. Simon huffed in your ear, his tongue lapping at you again. The taste of your sweat on his tongue was driving him mad, the salt satiating his desires for just a few moments every lick.
He groaned and grunted, fat bulge already grinding against your core through your jeans and his trousers. The smell of straw was intense, but his musky scent was even more so. Simon couldnât help himself any longer, but whimpered slightly, not wanting to rip your clothing. He didnât want his mate to be angry.
âClothes.. please.. need them off..â he groaned, nudging your jaw with his nose as he began to pepper kisses to it, his tongue running along the angle.
Your fingers quickly begun to undo the buttons, gasps and soft moans being pulled from your lips as his hips rut against yours. You finally managed to slip off your shirt, and hastily unbuttoned your jeans, shoving them off.
He immediately began to nip and lick at your chest, your hands curling into his hair. He groaned in satisfaction as you gripped, feeling his tongue swirl around your nipple while his hands fumbled with his pants.
You knew this wasnât about you, you knew not to expect anything crazy. But when his large hands secured themselves to your hips, pulling cunt up to his mouth, you realized you were wrong.
Simons nose nestled into your folds, breathing you in deeply. His eyes were fluttering closed as his fingers dig into your skin. His mouth opened, tongue immediately plunging inside you to lap up everything he wanted.
He didnât care that you werenât showered, didnât care about the unshaven hair on your mount, in fact he wanted it. He needed it. His needy moans sounded as he ate you out, his nose bumping your clit as you whined.
Your hands gripped his hand, hips bucking as he made out with your cunt sloppily. Spit and arousal began to drip down his chin, landing on the straw beneath.
Youâd felt yourself getting close quickly, but when his eyes opened again, looking down at you as he ate you out like a beast starved, you knew you were done for.
Orgasm ripping through you, your thighs clenched around him, and one of his hands left your hips. You felt your womb contracting, while his tongue still wriggled inside you. His free hand began to stroke himself dryly, the cock you hadnât even seen.
As you panted and whimpered, he gently set you back down, moving to press his forehead to yours, and kissing you. His lips were soaked, and his tongue tasted like your sweet cunt. His tip suddenly bumped your folds, and he huffed softly, nuzzling you.
âWant to.. want to.. need to..please need to..â he whined, his thumb brushing over your hip. Simon nipped at your jaw, begging for the okay.
You nodded, spreading your legs to accommodate his as he began to press in, hip head easily slipping through due to your arousal.
Simon was immediately stretching you, his teeth baring as you gasped, gripping onto his hair. His fat tip nudged into you more, begging for your walls to open up without struggle.
âMmmmfâŚmate.. my.. mate..â he huffed out before his hips snapped forward, burying his cock up to his knot, which bumped at your entrance.
His hips began to rut wildly, intense, controlled thrusts filling you up each time. His arms wrapped around your waist, holding you up like a ragdoll as his cock rammed into your womb over and over.
All you could smell was his musk, the way he smelled of everything barn. Growling and grunting he kept up his pace, pulling soft mewls from your throat. You wanted to moan, you did, but each sound kept getting caught in your throat.
He pulled away for a moment as he thrusted, looking down at you as your eyes rolled back into your head, your tits bouncing in time with your body. Each time your hips connected he grunted. Simonâs eyes raked over you in what looked like adoration, and protectiveness.
His head dipped back down to lap at your neck, huffing as the straw scratched at your back.
âGonna knot you.. knot my mate,â he groaned out, his thrusts becoming harder as he pulled out farther each time.
You began to moan now, somehow finding your voice again as your fingers moved to your clit, his fat tip rubbing against your walls perfectly. You rubbed the small bundle of nerves before his hand reached over yours, and rubbed with you, guiding your fingers to go faster.
You felt his thrust stutter for a moment as he pushed something thick against your cunt despite already tapping your womb. He did this a few more times, grunting and whimpering before his hips snapped forward, forcing his thick knot into your squelching entrance.
You gasped loudly, your legs twitching as you came again, the bulbous portion of his cock throbbing inside of you as he came, spurting thick white ropes against your cervix, locking the two of you.
His groaned, panting slightly as he nuzzled against you, whimpering as you clenched rhythmically. Your body collapsed, but he was eager to hold you.
He lapped affectionately at your neck and jaw, before rolling over and allowing himself to lay back on the straw, keeping you firmly situated against his chest.
His knot wouldnât go down for a while, keeping you connected as he hummed in content, huffing proudly.
âMate happy?â He asked softly, nudging your face with his nose.
You mumbled tiredly, curling up a bit closer to him as your eyelids drooped.
Warning: sexual content, unprotected sex, sex toys?
Your bunny boyfriend acts all sweet, innocent, and shy around other people, whether they're strangers, friends, or family. Simply the perfect bunny.
But when you're alone, he becomes a completely different person. His libido increases a thousandfold, and all he thinks about is fucking you. In seconds, he'll bend you down on any soft surface so he can fuck you to his heart's content, whether it's the bed, the sofa, or that fur rug he begged you to buy.
Your bunny boyfriend really enjoys pretending you're his dirty bunny. He makes you wear furry bunny ears (which he bought at a costume shop), furry thigh-high stockings, and a white pom-pom-shaped anal plug that looks just like his own.
He has you face down, ass up, drooling on the sheets as he vigorously fucks you from behind. His hands grip your hips tightly, his nails leaving crescent-shaped marks on your smooth skin. He groans and moans, biting his lip as he watches the pom-pom on your ass quiver when your anus contracts and loosens around the metal.
âY-you... you have to âugh... k-keep it inside you... n-naughty bunny...â
All you can do is moan as his cock hits your sweet spot again and again. Your hands grip the sheets, his fat balls slapping against your ass repeatedly, leaving a red mark on your fuzzy skin. The wet, dirty sound of slaps fills the room along with the thick smell of sex. His cock throbs inside you, his movements becoming more erratic, feverish like a real bunny in heat. He pinches your clit, making your eyes roll back.
âC-cum on, bunny... c-cum on right now... so your h-husband... can cum inside... y-you...â
His fingers rub and pinch your clit, right where his thick cock goes in and out of you. Your belly clenches and an electric shock travels through your pussy. You come with a sharp moan, your juices soaking his cock, dripping from his balls. The sensation makes his eyes roll back. With one last thrust, he cums, strands of warm, thick semen filling you. His tail twitches and quivers, as do his ears. Looks like you two will have a litter of bunnies very soon âĽď¸
