The final chapter in the story.<\/em><\/p>\n

A young woman visits a farm with intention to make the farmer sell his property. Forces intervene and the woman changes.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Early morning sunlight streamed through Lynn’s curtains.\u00a0 The young woman woke slowly, still smiling from her dream.\u00a0 She felt unreasonably happy, as if she were a small child tucked into bed by loving parents after a full day of play.\u00a0 An empty chair stood beside her bed and, next to the chair was a small table.\u00a0 Atop the table was a plate full of vegetables and a bowl full of mixed greens.\u00a0 Lynn’s stomach rumbled loudly and she remembered she hadn’t eaten anything the day before.\u00a0 But, worse was her bladder.\u00a0 She wanted to stay in bed, wrapped in warmth but both basic needs cried out to her.<\/p>\n

Lynn carefully pulled the blanket away from her.\u00a0 Her udder seemed to bulge a little more but everything else seemed the same.\u00a0 Except- Lynn looked at her arms.\u00a0 During the night, both arms had become covered in white and brown fur like the rest of her body.\u00a0 A large nearly perfect circular patch of white fur covered her right elbow while the rest of her arms were mostly brown.\u00a0 Looking down, she saw that her legs were similarly covered in fur.\u00a0 She smiled hopefully at the few changes.\u00a0 Swinging her legs carefully over the edge of the bed, she groaned when her bladder yelled for attention.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

A small white piece of paper lay next to the bowl on the table.\u00a0 Lynn picked it up.\u00a0 It was addressed to her and seemed like a man’s penmanship.\u00a0 She read it while idly stroking the smooth skin of her udder.<\/p>\n

—–<\/p>\n

Lynn,<\/i><\/p>\n

I stayed with you until after midnight but nothing happened and you slept peacefully.\u00a0 I hope that means everything is okay and you’ll be fine.\u00a0 <\/i><\/p>\n

Please don’t be mad at the food.\u00a0 I wasn’t sure what you would be hungry for or when you’d wake up.\u00a0 <\/i><\/p>\n

Take as much time as you need.\u00a0 The room is yours.\u00a0 I’m probably out in the field but will be back around noon.<\/i><\/p>\n

Chris<\/i><\/p>\n

—–<\/p>\n

Lynn traced the man’s signature with a furred finger.\u00a0 Afraid I’d be upset because he put out vegetables for a cow?<\/i>\u00a0 She smiled.\u00a0 I like salads anyway.<\/i><\/p>\n

The young woman walked to the doorway, feeling more confident in her strong legs.\u00a0 Opening the door, she peeked out.\u00a0 “Chris?\u00a0 Are you there?”<\/p>\n

When nobody answered, she wandered the old house until she found the bathroom.\u00a0 The young woman pulled down her pants before gathering her tail into her arms.\u00a0 Her tail twitched as she sat carefully towards the front of the toilet to allow space.\u00a0 While seated, she pressed a finger against her bra-less breast.\u00a0 She was surprised at how soft her larger breasts were now.\u00a0 Although she’d finished peeing, the young woman poked at both breasts in random places.\u00a0 Finally, she lifted her shirt, tucking it under her chin.\u00a0 Lynn held both breasts in her hands, hefting them gently.\u00a0 The short, nearly silky fur covering both breasts felt strange to her smooth palms.\u00a0 Geez,<\/i> she thought.\u00a0 Seriously.\u00a0 Huge.\u00a0 I could do without the gigantic nipples and stuff but these, these I could get used to.\u00a0 Why no milk, though?\u00a0 Not that I’m complaining at all but, was that it?\u00a0 Just the one day?<\/i><\/p>\n

Once finished, she went straight to her room to devour her breakfast.\u00a0 It was unusual to have to chew more than usual, now that she realized what was happening, but she found eating was otherwise the same.\u00a0 When her food was gone, she wandered around the house again until she found Chris’ room.\u00a0 With a muttered apology, she dug through his clothes until she found a thick red and black plaid button-down shirt.\u00a0 She pulled it on, appreciating Chris’ wide shoulders that allowed it to fit her expanded chest and frame.\u00a0 The fabric rubbed oddly against her fur and she felt overly warm but her nipples were mostly hidden and only a small bit of her udder showed.\u00a0 Her tail lashed happily behind her as she made her way outside.<\/p>\n

Lynn smiled at the sudden clear warm scent of the outdoor air.\u00a0 She spotted Chris cursing at the chickens scrabbling around in the chicken coop so she made her way over to him.\u00a0 He spotted her as she approached and he turned, smiling to see her.<\/p>\n

“Hey,” he said.\u00a0 “I’m glad to see you up.\u00a0 Although, you could still relax, you know?”<\/p>\n

“I want to help,” Lynn announced.\u00a0 “If you’re putting me up here, I want to help out.\u00a0 What can I do?”<\/p>\n

Chris looked up at the young woman.\u00a0 “Well, you can help me pick some eggs.\u00a0 Come on in and be careful, they can move around pretty quick.\u00a0 The shirt looks good on you, by the way.\u00a0 I’ve always had a thing for-” He stopped, blushing and bending back to his chickens.<\/p>\n

Lynn worked the entire day beneath the warm sun, never once feeling the strange sleepiness that had overcome her the past two days.\u00a0 Her brown fur became soaked in sweat as she worked, hauling and lifting and moving and pulling and planting.\u00a0 She took far more breaks than Chris did but the man seemed pleased to have any help at all.\u00a0 She found herself laughing several times during the day, forgetting what had happened as she settled into a routine.<\/p>\n

In the evening, Lynn faced a whole new problem.\u00a0 She stood in her makeshift work clothes, staring at the bathtub.\u00a0 Immediately she knew showers would never work again; not unless she was outside on the ground; her hooves would slip over the smooth surface.\u00a0 She stared at the large white tub, tail flipping back and forth behind her as she ran through what she’d need to do.<\/p>\n

Lynn ran hot water, filling the tub half full.\u00a0 As carefully as possible, she held onto the edges of the tub, easing herself in.\u00a0 She felt her tail scrape against the edge of and she sighed as she sat in the water.\u00a0 When was the last time I even took a shower?\u00a0 Geez.\u00a0 With what’s happened, I never had time.<\/i><\/p>\n

The young woman pulled her tail into the water with her and then leaned back cautiously.\u00a0 She had to brace her hooves against the front of the tub but she otherwise fit perfectly.\u00a0 The water around her darkened as the bits of caked-on dirt came loose from her fur.\u00a0 She lay there with her arms on the edge of the tub, wriggling to make the base of her tail comfortable.\u00a0\u00a0 The water came up to her thighs and she looked down at herself.\u00a0 Her fur floated in the water.<\/p>\n

“This is who you are now, Lynn,” she told herself quietly.\u00a0 “It’s not so bad, is it?\u00a0 You don’t have to worry about what shoes match what outfits.\u00a0 Or makeup.\u00a0 There’s that.\u00a0 You’ll never have to buy makeup again.\u00a0 What was the saying?\u00a0 Lipstick on a pig?\u00a0 Or cow?\u00a0 All those extra little things to make you look pretty won’t work anymore.\u00a0 This is who you are.”<\/p>\n

She sat up, awkwardly pulling her legs towards herself.\u00a0 Her hooves scraped on the bottom of the tub and she shuddered at the sound of it.\u00a0 Lynn scrubbed lightly between her cleft hooves, removing the hardened dirt that stuck there.\u00a0 I’m going to need a screwdriver or something else next time. Do my… hooves keep growing?\u00a0 Am I going to have to trim them somehow?\u00a0 Well, no.\u00a0 Filing, right?\u00a0 Isn’t that what they do on the Westerns?\u00a0 File their horse’s hooves?\u00a0 I bet Chris would know.\u00a0 Oh god.\u00a0 Am I going to have to ask him if my hooves keep going?\u00a0 My<\/b> hooves?<\/i><\/p>\n

“Soap or shampoo, soap or shampoo,” she asked herself.\u00a0 While she decided, she drained the dirty water.\u00a0 Tentatively, she sniffed herself.\u00a0 “Well, at least it’s not wet dog smell.\u00a0 Actually,” she sniffed again.\u00a0 “Not bad at all.”<\/p>\n

Lynn hummed to herself as she refilled the tub until it again reached her hips.\u00a0 Having decided, she grabbed the bottle of shampoo on the nearby shelf.\u00a0 “It’s hair,” she told herself.\u00a0 “Just a lot of hair.”<\/p>\n

The young woman worked the shampoo into the fur of her thigh and legs, scratching as she did.\u00a0 After such a long time without a shower or bath and a full day’s work in the field, the act was immensely pleasurable.\u00a0 The soft insides of her thighs were sore from rubbing together so Lynn took extra care between her legs.\u00a0 Even more carefully, she held her labia apart to clean between her lips.\u00a0 The fur around her vagina seemed an odd mixture of cow fur and wiry pubic hair but the shampoo seemed to help soften it.<\/p>\n

Next, Lynn scooted further into the tub until her chest was semi-submerged.\u00a0 She scrubbed the dirt from her upper body with her short nails, murmuring appreciatively as she scratched the skin beneath her fur.\u00a0 She sighed as she cleaned her breasts.\u00a0 “No more soapy boobies,” she said with a pout.\u00a0 “I’ll miss that.”\u00a0 Still, her enormous breasts were extremely soft to the touch and she had a hard time letting them go when they were completely lathered with shampoo.\u00a0 The flat, short fur covering them was almost as slick as soaped-up bare skin.\u00a0 The nipples on her udder floated like little sea creatures.\u00a0 Little pink and black bull kelp on the floor of the ocean, <\/i>she mused.\u00a0 Well, udder rather than ocean floor.\u00a0 The shampoo could be the sea foam.\u00a0 And I’m… the cow.\u00a0 Just the cow.<\/i><\/p>\n

Lynn sat up to let the tub drain.\u00a0 She closed the curtain around her and then, still seated, she turned on the shower.\u00a0 Hot water streamed down her body, washing away the shampoo she’d worked into her fur.\u00a0 She raised her muzzle to it.\u00a0 With her eyes closed, she was still just a woman.\u00a0 A human woman taking a shower just like everyone else.\u00a0 She pushed herself back up with her hooves against the tub and her tail moved with her.\u00a0 But not really human anymore,<\/i> she reminded herself.<\/p>\n

As the shower chased away the bits of dirt and shampoo still draining, she picked up her tail.\u00a0 If she had to pick a positive thing out of the whole change, aside from the huge ti- boobs, <\/i>she thought, it’d be her tail.\u00a0 She thought of it as a separate part of her.\u00a0 A companion of some kind.\u00a0 She was beginning to love it in an odd sort of way; like a mangy lovable dog that refuses to leave your side.\u00a0 She cooed to it as she cleaned, scrubbing and scratching and smiling at it before holding it under the hot water.<\/p>\n

The water turned off with a loud squeak and Lynn lay back in the empty tub.\u00a0 A stack of white towels lay on shelves next to the tub.\u00a0 Towel off or shake off,<\/i> she wondered sarcastically.\u00a0 Wait, better question, how do I get out without breaking a leg?\u00a0 Would I have to be put down if that happened?<\/i>\u00a0 Lynn sighed at herself, pulling her heavy body up with shaky, tired arms.\u00a0 She sat at the back of the tub for a moment before swinging both of her legs over the side.\u00a0 She’d found quite often than not being able to turn her hooves to the sides made a big difference in how she moved her body.\u00a0 She stood on the floor towel, barely dripping as her fur trapped the remaining bits of water on her body.<\/p>\n

Drying off took two towels.\u00a0 Lynn blushed in shame at the huge amounts of brown and white fur left behind on the towels.\u00a0 She looked herself over.\u00a0 Most of her fur lay flat and neat but the thicker tufts along her shoulders and neck were a jumbled mess.\u00a0 I’m going to have to comb that,<\/i> she thought.\u00a0 Tangles.\u00a0 So many tangles and snarls.<\/i><\/p>\n

She blushed as she imagined herself naked, on her stomach.\u00a0 In her mind, Chris stood over her, brushing the thick fur down her back as they talked and laughed.\u00a0 “Nope,” she said.\u00a0 “Nope. \u00a0Not going to happen.\u00a0 So not going to happen.”<\/p>\n

Clean and dry and still warm from her bath, Lynn fell asleep almost as soon as she slid between her covers.<\/p>\n

—–<\/p>\n

The next morning, Lynn awoke to find nothing had changed further.\u00a0 She made her way to the kitchen and Chris woke just as she was buttering toast.\u00a0 The man eyed the large plate of eggs and toast and bacon on both of their plates.\u00a0 Lynn smiled shyly at him when he thanked her for breakfast.<\/p>\n

“I didn’t know if you cooked or not,” he said.<\/p>\n

“Well, a little.\u00a0 Not usually breakfast.\u00a0 I’ve been in the habit of just eating granola and yogurt in the morning but, lately, I’ve been really hungry.\u00a0 I mean, well, duh, right?\u00a0 I’m a cow now.”<\/p>\n

“It looks better than what I make,” he told her, cautiously avoiding the subject.<\/p>\n

“I’d like,” Lynn paused, blushing.\u00a0 “I’d like to learn how to cook.\u00a0 I can’t do as much work as you do out in the field so I want to learn to cook to do my part.\u00a0 I found a ton of cookbooks on the shelf and I bet I could do a good job of it.”<\/p>\n

Chris frowned.\u00a0 “Lynn, hey.\u00a0 Don’t kill yourself here.\u00a0 You don’t have to prove yourself or make up for anything at all.\u00a0 I mean, if you want to learn to cook, great.\u00a0 I’d love to have some help.\u00a0 But, that’s what it’d be – help.\u00a0 I’ll still cook, too.\u00a0 I don’t expect you to-”<\/p>\n

“I just want to be useful,” Lynn interrupted.\u00a0 “I don’t- I don’t want-” The young woman hid her eyes behind her hand.\u00a0 Her lips trembled while her tail flicked fitfully behind her.\u00a0 Her flat teeth ground together as she tried to hold back her tears.<\/p>\n

“Hey,” Chris said.\u00a0 “It’s…”\u00a0 He went to her, wrapping his long arms around her body to hold her tight.\u00a0 Lynn’s resolve crumbled and she sobbed against him.\u00a0 His hand held her neck while his fingers massaged her gently through her thick fur.\u00a0 Chris felt Lynn’s tail rub against his leg, a reminder of how different she was now.\u00a0 Her smell surprised him; she’d only just started working with him but the scent of his farm lingered lightly, deep in her fur: the smell of warm dew, fresh turned earth and a summer breeze.<\/p>\n

Eventually, Lynn calmed, her breath hitching as she struggled to control herself.\u00a0 Chris brought her a box of tissues and she grabbed one.<\/p>\n

“I… could you not look?” She asked.\u00a0 “I don’t know how to blow my nose anymore.\u00a0 That sounds really dumb but I don’t want to look ugly when I do it.”<\/p>\n

Chris turned away.\u00a0 “I don’t think you look ugly, Lynn.\u00a0 Not before or now.\u00a0 You have a gentle heart and that’s what I see.”<\/p>\n

Lynn took two more tissues before using all three to blow her nose loudly.\u00a0 She used another two to wipe.\u00a0 “No.\u00a0 I don’t.\u00a0 I was trying to make you sell your land.\u00a0 Before I left, we were digging up dirt on you and your neighbors to figure out a way to force the sell.\u00a0 I’ve closed down businesses and helped to foreclose on homes.\u00a0 These poor families struggling to find a way to make their payments and I sat at my desk, filing paperwork that took their homes away.\u00a0 And now-” Lynn hiccupped, unable to finish her sentence.<\/p>\n

The fur at the corner Lynn’s eyes were darkened by her tears.\u00a0 Chris frowned at her, wishing he could do something to help.\u00a0 “Is that why you’re trying so hard?”\u00a0 Lynn nodded.\u00a0 “I won’t kick you out.\u00a0 I’m thankful for all your help but I won’t make you leave.”<\/p>\n

“I regret it,” she told him.<\/p>\n

“Regret what?”<\/p>\n

Lynn pushed at her plate of food.\u00a0 “My life.\u00a0 What I’ve done.\u00a0 I was never good at science or computers so I picked law for the money I could make. \u00a0And now look what I’ve done.\u00a0 Fourteen hour days or more spent breaking people’s lives and the whole time, I thought it was okay because I was safe.\u00a0 I made enough to live well and still pay off nearly all of my loans.\u00a0 What did it matter what happened to other people?\u00a0 They should’ve worked harder.\u00a0 They should’ve bought a cheaper house.\u00a0 It was their fault they were in that position.\u00a0 Life wasn’t fair to me growing up, either.\u00a0 We struggled.\u00a0 We ate ramen noodles and macaroni and cheese and god knows what else.\u00a0 Kids made fun of me for my ragged used clothes.\u00a0 I hated my life.”<\/p>\n

Chris reached tentatively toward Lynn’s hand on the table.\u00a0 He touched the back of her hand and, when she didn’t flinch, he held her small, furry hand in his.\u00a0 They sat in silence.<\/p>\n

“Except,” Lynn finally said.\u00a0 “Except I didn’t.\u00a0 I’d forgotten how happy I’d been.\u00a0 Alone, sure.\u00a0 But I had fun.\u00a0 My parents loved me and they did what they could.\u00a0 I was free to run and play outside and the whole world was part of my imagination.\u00a0 Only, somewhere along the way, I gave in.\u00a0 I listened to my classmates when they told me how sad I was.\u00a0 I was too embarrassed to ever bring anyone to my home.\u00a0 Who’d want to come visit me in a dingy old trailer?\u00a0 And so I put it all away.\u00a0 Days ago, I finally remembered.\u00a0 I remembered what it was like to sit in the sun with my toes in the grass.\u00a0 To feel true, pure happiness from life itself.”<\/p>\n

Small lights twirled in the air behind Lynn, circling in and out of the walls.\u00a0 They cast light that gave no shadows and they played unnoticed by the two sitting at the table.<\/p>\n

“Where would I have gone if you weren’t here when this happened?\u00a0 Where did those families go when I took their home from them?\u00a0 I’m sitting here, safe for now and I’m terrified.\u00a0 I have a place to stay and a roof over my head and food in front of me and I’m scared that you’ll suddenly decide I’m a burden and then I’ll have nothing.\u00a0 And now I see what I’ve done with my life.\u00a0 And I regret it.”\u00a0 Small tears slid across Lynn’s slick fur to fall in her lap.<\/p>\n

“I won’t, you know.” Chris told her, his voice gentle and warm.\u00a0 “I won’t make you leave.\u00a0 Everyone deserves another chance.\u00a0 It took my father dying to make me see that.\u00a0 But, I took it and I’ve never looked back.\u00a0 I’m better for it.\u00a0 You… It doesn’t matter what you’ve done.\u00a0 You see it now, don’t you?”<\/p>\n

“Yes,” Lynn whispered.<\/p>\n

“So, take this chance and change it all.\u00a0 I- well, you know what I mean.\u00a0 Sorry, I don’t know how to say it without it coming up.\u00a0 This… physical change, whatever it was, it’s made you realize what you’ve lost and what you’ve done.\u00a0 Stay here with me and find your peace.\u00a0 That’s what I’ve done.”<\/p>\n

Not trusting herself to speak, Lynn nodded in gratitude.<\/p>\n

“Any time you need to talk to me about anything, please do.\u00a0 Whenever you want.\u00a0 In the meantime, I’ve found work takes my mind off things.\u00a0 But food, first, of course.”\u00a0 Chris smiled cautiously at the young woman.<\/p>\n

“I’m sorry,” Lynn said.\u00a0 “It’s all cold now.\u00a0 You had to listen to me cry while the food went cold.”<\/p>\n

“I listened to you because I- because I wanted to listen.\u00a0 I mean, hell, your whole life got turned upside down, just like that.\u00a0 I’d probably be senseless for weeks.\u00a0 Besides,” Chris scooped up a forkful of his eggs, stuffing it into his mouth.\u00a0 “Still tastes good.”<\/p>\n

They both ate in silence, forks scrapping against their plates.\u00a0 With her plate cleaned, Lynn looked up at Chris.\u00a0 “May I borrow your computer for a while?\u00a0 I want to order some new clothes.\u00a0 And I have to send off some emails for my work.\u00a0 I don’t think I’ll be going back anytime soon.”<\/p>\n

Chris nodded at the young woman.\u00a0 “It’s on dial-up but it works.\u00a0 The computer is in the back room.\u00a0 I’ll show you.”<\/p>\n

Lynn had to look up a few laws to fill in the gaps of her knowledge but she was pleasantly surprised to learn that it wasn’t as hard as she thought it would be.\u00a0 She could still remember where to look and how to do things – it was just the very technical pieces that kept slipping her mind.\u00a0 By the end of the day, she’d resigned from her firm and filed paperwork with the county on behalf of Chris in response to P&G’s initial filing.\u00a0 The case would be delayed for at least a year; plenty of time for her to find what she needed to prevent them from forcing their way onto the property.\u00a0\u00a0 She knew she had a lot more work ahead of her in closing off the ends of her previous life but she had time now and would need the time to decide what came next.\u00a0 She had enough savings to clear her debts with money left over and she planned to use the funds cautiously.<\/p>\n

Two phrases were circled on the top of the yellow legal pad she left on the desk:\u00a0 “Private practice online?\u00a0 Community work?”<\/p>\n

—–<\/p>\n

Months later, Chris and Lynn sat in the living room together as an end-of-summer storm rolled through the valley.\u00a0 Lights flickered and the two looked up from their books at nearly the same time.\u00a0 Lightning flashed through the windows and a few seconds later a loud boom rattled the house.<\/p>\n

“Muuh!”\u00a0 Lynn cried out in fear.\u00a0 She dropped the book, gripping her arms tightly.<\/p>\n

“Hey, you okay?”\u00a0 Chris asked.<\/p>\n

“I… I… for… for some reason… loud noises… I can’t…”\u00a0 The power cut off just as another bolt of lightning struck.\u00a0 The returning thunder came even quicker this time.\u00a0 Lynn hid her face with her hands over her elongated ears.\u00a0 “No.\u00a0 I don’t know.\u00a0 I’m… It’s… I’m scared.\u00a0 Chris, I’m scared.”<\/p>\n

Chris walked to Lynn, kneeling beside her.\u00a0 He touched her back gently, rubbing her in small circles.\u00a0 “Hey.\u00a0 It’s okay.\u00a0 It’s okay.\u00a0 I’ll get some candles and we’ll be fine.\u00a0 It’s okay.”<\/p>\n

“I… I…”\u00a0 Lynn stuttered.\u00a0 “Feel stupid… I can’t… can’t control this.”<\/p>\n

“It’s fine, Lynn.\u00a0 You’re okay here.\u00a0 You’re safe, you know that.\u00a0 I’ll be right back.”\u00a0 Chris stood but Lynn grabbed his arm.<\/p>\n

“Don’t… Don’t…” She said.\u00a0 “Help… help me to my room.\u00a0 Please.”\u00a0 Another flash of lightning made her pull back into herself.<\/p>\n

Chris took Lynn carefully, helping her stand on shaking legs.\u00a0 The young woman’s hooves struck the floor loudly as she leaned on the man.\u00a0 They walked together to Lynn’s room and he helped her onto her bed as rain began falling in waves around the house.\u00a0 Lightning and thunder struck at the same time causing Lynn to moan quietly as she covered herself.<\/p>\n

“I’ll bring a lamp,” Chris told her.<\/p>\n

“Stay,” Lynn said.<\/p>\n

“Then, I’ll grab a chair.”<\/p>\n

“N…no, ” Lynn replied.\u00a0 “P… please.\u00a0 I… will you hold me?”<\/p>\n

Rain crackled on the bedroom window.\u00a0 Chris looked at the bed and then made a decision.\u00a0 “All right.\u00a0 If you’re sure, Lynn.”<\/p>\n

“Th… th… th…”\u00a0 The young woman tried to say as tears welled at the corner of her eyes.<\/p>\n

Chris crawled over the young woman carefully.\u00a0 Just as carefully, he slid under the covers behind her.\u00a0 Immediately, Lynn wriggled back against him and he felt her shivering, not from the cold.\u00a0 Her hooves clattered together before she moved her legs apart.\u00a0 Chris reached for Lynn and then stopped.\u00a0 Frowning at himself, he moved his hand across her stomach.\u00a0 He could feel her furry belly through the gaps in the shirt she wore.\u00a0 His shirt.\u00a0 She’d never given him his red and black shirt back and, instead, had taken to wearing it in the evening before bed.<\/p>\n

The young man swallowed, unsure of what he should do.\u00a0 Lynn continued to shake next to him and so, with a mental prayer that she wouldn’t take it the wrong way, the man reached his fingers under the bottom of her shirt.\u00a0 He could feel her belly button underneath a thick tuft of fur.\u00a0 He slowly ran his fingers through the fur of her belly.\u00a0 When she didn’t stop him, he began stroking her slowly.\u00a0 Her tail twitched against his hip but she made no protest.<\/p>\n

Emboldened, Chris started humming quietly to the young woman.\u00a0 His head lay in the soft, warm crook of her neck and he could smell her scent.\u00a0 The unusual smell of her fur and the shampoo she used mixed with a wonderful earthy smell underneath it all.\u00a0 He reflexively nuzzled her but then stopped, mentally cursing himself.<\/p>\n

Thunder roared nearby and Lynn jerked in response but her shaking was slowly settling as she relaxed into the man behind her.\u00a0 He was warm and as comforting as she always imagined he’d be.\u00a0 The weight of his arm around her and his very presence next to her soothed her nerves.\u00a0 The way he stroked her fur, digging his fingers down to her skin, scratching and rubbing and working his fingers was both relaxing and exciting all at the same time.<\/p>\n

The constant sound of the heavy rain and gentle humming sound mixed with the warmth and weight of Chris against her.\u00a0 Lynn’s eyelids drooped heavily and she sighed contentedly as she drifted off.<\/p>\n

Lynn woke when she felt Chris stirring behind her.\u00a0 The morning was gray from pre-dawn after a night of heavy rain.<\/p>\n

“I’m sorry,” he said quietly.\u00a0 “Did I wake you?”<\/p>\n

“No,” she lied.\u00a0 “Thank you for last night.\u00a0 I hope it didn’t incon… tsk, what was the word?\u00a0 I hope it was okay.”<\/p>\n

Chris pushed himself to the foot of the bed with a chuckle.\u00a0 “Oh yeah.\u00a0 I haven’t slept that good in ages.\u00a0 And that’s after moving here from the city.\u00a0 You’re very comfortable, Lynn.”<\/p>\n

The young woman stood when Chris did.\u00a0 He smiled at her and then spread his arms awkwardly when she hugged him.\u00a0 Slowly, he folded his arms around her to return it.<\/p>\n

“Thank you,” she whispered.\u00a0 Lynn pressed her wide nose into the side of Chris’ neck before stepping back.<\/p>\n

He smiled questioningly at her while touching his neck with his fingertips.\u00a0 “What was that?”\u00a0 He asked.<\/p>\n

Lynn looked down.\u00a0 “A… a kiss.”<\/p>\n

Chris touched under Lynn’s muzzle, gently lifting it up so he could look at her.\u00a0 “Thank you, Lynn.”\u00a0 He brought his hand around to the side of her face and she closed her eyes to press against him.<\/p>\n

The day passed with Chris checking his property for damage from the storm. \u00a0Lynn followed him around and he wondered at her odd silence.<\/p>\n

Their evening routine continued as before and Chris was soon yawning in his chair.\u00a0 He lay his book face down and stood, surprised when Lynn didn’t follow him.<\/p>\n

“Are you staying up a bit?” He asked her.<\/p>\n

“Yes, a bit,” she replied, her eyes focused on the paperback novel she was reading.<\/p>\n

“All right.\u00a0 Not too late, though.\u00a0 You promised you’d help with the apples in the morning.”<\/p>\n

Lynn nodded and Chris went to bed.\u00a0 He lay quietly, wondering if he should go to her.\u00a0 Since she’d arrived, she’d almost always been cheerful and her sudden quiet today had him worried.\u00a0 He heard her stand and walk in the living room, her hooves making it nearly impossible for her to walk quietly.\u00a0 When she didn’t stop at her room, he looked up, just as she opened his door.<\/p>\n

“Is everything okay?”\u00a0 He asked.<\/p>\n

Lynn nodded.\u00a0 “May I sleep with you tonight?”<\/p>\n

“I- sure.”\u00a0 Chris moved back on the bed until he felt the cold wall against him.\u00a0 Lynn slid between the covers, quickly pressing herself against him.\u00a0 Chris shifted until his face was at the back of her neck.\u00a0 The thicker fur along her spine was the softest on her body and he loved the way it felt.\u00a0 Lynn moved her arms in the blanket in front of him and when she settled, Chris reached around to her belly.\u00a0 The man settled comfortably into place.\u00a0 Lynn was the softest woman he’d ever been with and he hadn’t lied; he’d slept amazingly well the previous night.<\/p>\n

With his hand on her belly, Chris felt Lynn’s heart racing.\u00a0 Before he could ask if she was okay, she took his hand, moving it up her belly until it rested on her left breast.\u00a0 She squeezed his hand and then let go.<\/p>\n

“Are you sure, Lynn?” Chris whispered.<\/p>\n

“Are… do…”\u00a0 Lynn swallowed.\u00a0 “Do you want to, Chris?”<\/p>\n

In response, Chris sat up, turning Lynn over to her back.\u00a0 Lynn shifted to settle her thick tail but avoided Chris’ eyes.\u00a0 His borrowed red and black shirt was unbuttoned and her massive, furry breasts lay heavily on her chest.\u00a0 The man bent to her and she writhed when he sucked at her nipple.\u00a0 It stiffened almost immediately in his mouth and he was surprised at its length.\u00a0 He pulled back briefly and Lynn covered herself.<\/p>\n

“Oh god.\u00a0 I’m sorry.\u00a0 I’m sorry.\u00a0 It’s ugly.\u00a0 I-” Lynn stammered.<\/p>\n

Chris moved her hand away gently.\u00a0 Again, he took her nipple in his mouth, rolling it around on his tongue.\u00a0 Lynn moved under him.\u00a0 He reached for her other nipple, tweaking and pulling at it until he felt it harden in his fingers.\u00a0 Lynn gasped and then reached for Chris’ hand, he let her have it and then groaned as she sucked his finger into her muzzle.\u00a0 Her mouth was warm and wet and she rolled his finger around, sucking at it as he did to her.<\/p>\n

Pulling his finger free, Chris scratched down Lynn’s sides and she arched her back at the sensation.\u00a0 The nipples of her udder shifted, moving and twisting as they tried to harden like the nipples on her breasts.\u00a0 Chris touched one of them.<\/p>\n

“Should- can I?”<\/p>\n

Lynn nodded shyly, lightly gripping Chris’ head to pull him down to her udder.\u00a0 The man carefully licked at the tip of her lower nipple and then, he took the entire thing in his mouth.<\/p>\n

Lynn gasped.\u00a0 “Oh.\u00a0 Oh, that’s… Oh.\u00a0 Can you…. Oh.\u00a0 Teeth, please?”\u00a0 She moaned louder when Chris bit at her elongated nipple gently.\u00a0 It was different than the nipples of her breast.\u00a0 More sensitive in a way, less in others but she felt nerves respond deep inside of her and the feeling was intensely erotic.\u00a0 Chris pinched two of her other nipples causing Lynn to moan louder, biting at her black and pink lower lips.\u00a0 She felt herself grow suddenly wet.\u00a0 “Muuuh.\u00a0 Chris, oh yes.”<\/p>\n

The man leaned over her body, grinding against her as he squeezed and sucked at her breasts.\u00a0 Lynn shivered in response, her hands going to his back, massaging and kneading and tugging until he sat up to take his shirt off.\u00a0 She knew how muscular he was; she’d seen him shirtless many times but now, with him straddling her hips, she grew even more wet.\u00a0 She explored his hard stomach while he pinched and pulled the nipples on her breasts.\u00a0 Fur rasped on fur as he pushed her tits together, marveling at their size and softness.<\/p>\n

Bending low over her, Chris kissed each nipple.\u00a0 He moved further, slowly kissing down her furry stomach.\u00a0 She gasped when he kissed her udder and then twisted as he sucked at the tip of all four lower nipples.\u00a0 He continued down, kissing the bottom of her udder and the soft bit of fur showing above her fuzzy pajamas.\u00a0 He pulled at her pants and she lifted her hips to let him take them off.<\/p>\n

Lynn moaned as he kissed above her clit but then he was gone, sliding her pants down her long legs and over her hooves.\u00a0 She flushed in shame and excitement.\u00a0 She knew what she looked like and so a piece of her worried continuously whether Chris looked at her like a sideshow freak.\u00a0 But, Chris had yet to show a single bit of pity towards her and her-<\/p>\n

“Muuuh!”\u00a0 Lynn cried out, her fingers gripping at Chris’ hair as he was suddenly between her thighs.\u00a0 She opened for him, spreading her legs as he licked her swollen pussy lips.\u00a0 His nose pressed on her clit as he wrapped his arms around her furry thighs.\u00a0 Chris pressed further, licking deep inside while grinding his nose against her clit.\u00a0 Lynn bucked her hips, rolling and pressing against him.\u00a0 It’d been such a long time since she’d had a lover that she’d almost forgotten what it was like.\u00a0 And with what had happened to her, she’d thought she’d never know a man’s touch again.\u00a0 Her tailbone ached but she refused to move while Chris held her.<\/p>\n

The fur around her pussy was soaked with spit and her juices.\u00a0 She felt an orgasm building within her but knew it wouldn’t come quickly enough.\u00a0 Lynn reached two fingers down to her clit.\u00a0 She rubbed in a circle as Chris sucked and nibbled at her.\u00a0 With her free hand, Lynn pulled and squeezed at the nipples on her udder.\u00a0 The multiple sensations pushed her closer to the edge and she gasped, trying to tell Chris to bite her more or go deeper.\u00a0 The man felt her rhythm and breathing quicken and he gripped her ass tightly, fingers digging into her large, soft ass cheeks as he pressed himself deeper into her, his tongue working at the exact same spot over and over.<\/p>\n

“Oh!\u00a0 Fu-\u00a0 Yes!”\u00a0 Lynn screamed, bucking as her orgasm stormed through her.\u00a0 Chris was suddenly kissing her and she opened her short muzzle to him, tongues licking at each other in an awkward, yet furious attempt to kiss each other deeply.\u00a0 The man’s fingers slipped between her soaking wet pussy lips causing Lynn’s eyes to roll back.\u00a0 The man began furiously pounding his fingers in and out of her.\u00a0 Her jaw worked as a small, sharp orgasm followed the first.\u00a0 When he didn’t stop, she pushed gently at his chest.<\/p>\n

“I-\u00a0 You’re…”\u00a0 Lynn stuttered.\u00a0 Chris took his fingers out of her and she shook.\u00a0 Her gigantic tits heaved as she tried to find her breath.\u00a0 “I want you in me.\u00a0 “Please,” she added, breathlessly.\u00a0 A part of her wished his first penetration had been with his cock but she was passed caring for much beyond the passion and sensations she was feeling.<\/p>\n

Lynn rubbed herself while Chris fumbled with his pants.\u00a0 She felt him push her hands away as he leaned over her, his hard cock pressed against her furry, engorged clit.\u00a0 He rubbed her, bending over her body to lick at her hard, erect nipples in a slow, maddening circle.\u00a0 Lynn tried to adjust herself so he’d slip into her but the man moved with her.<\/p>\n

“Please.\u00a0 Please, Chris.”\u00a0 She begged.\u00a0 He bit her nipple, not gently and she moaned again.\u00a0 Oh god<\/i>, she thought.\u00a0 What if this made me loose?\u00a0 What if… oh god, what if I’m only fit for an animal now?\u00a0 What-<\/i><\/p>\n

Chris held Lynn’s hands down as the head of his cock slid between Lynn’s wet lips.\u00a0 He moaned loan as the strong muscles inside of her gripped at his length.\u00a0 Lynn’s eyes bulged at his thickness.\u00a0 Whether because it had been such a long time or because he was so big, it hurt for him to be in her.<\/p>\n

“Jesus.\u00a0 Christ.”\u00a0 Chris gasped.\u00a0 “You’re so tight, Lynn.\u00a0 Holy fuck, you’re so…”<\/p>\n

Lynn hugged Chris to her soft chest, sweat and fur mixing as the man pulled out of her.\u00a0 “Can… my tail… can you lift my hips?”<\/p>\n

Chris’ strong hands lifted her thighs.\u00a0 Lynn helped, bending her knees as he set her legs over his shoulders.\u00a0 Lynn automatically lifted her hips as he leaned forward.<\/p>\n

“Oh!\u00a0 OH G-!”\u00a0 Lynn screamed.\u00a0 The position forced him far deeper than she expected and it felt incredible.\u00a0 Her tail slapped hard against the wall over and over uncontrollably as he slammed into her.\u00a0 “N- no,” she panted.\u00a0 “G… gentle.\u00a0 Please.\u00a0 Gentle first.”<\/p>\n

Their rhythm slowed.\u00a0 Chris pulled out until the head of his cock was at her opening and then, as Lynn pushed up and into him, he slid forward.\u00a0 Lynn glanced at him briefly and flushed when she saw his beautiful green eyes staring back at her.\u00a0 He was sweating and focused but she saw, if not love, something close to it.\u00a0 She touched his cheek before gasping from at a sudden hard thrust.\u00a0 Her furry hands dug fists into the bed’s sheets.\u00a0 The orgasm building within her was powerful; their angles and positions made Chris rub an electric spot deep within her and it drove her wild.<\/p>\n

Lynn pulled at her udder’s nipples.\u00a0 The alien sensation added to the pleasure she felt and she gasped, begging for more.\u00a0 She felt Chris’ balls slap at the wet fur of her ass just as her huge tits bounced into her muzzle.\u00a0 Over and over, a steady powerful rhythm until Lynn thought she might go mad from overstimulation.<\/p>\n

“Oh.\u00a0 Oh.\u00a0 Don’t.\u00a0 Oh.\u00a0 Don’t.\u00a0 Stop.\u00a0 Right.\u00a0 There.”\u00a0 She gasped.<\/p>\n

“I can’t.\u00a0 I can’t hold it.\u00a0 Lynn.\u00a0 Look at me.\u00a0 Look at me, Lynn.”\u00a0 Lynn looked up at Chris.\u00a0 He was gritting his teeth hard together as muscles stood out on his arms.\u00a0 Lynn’s hooves knocked loudly together behind him and, if she weren’t seconds away from a massive orgasm, she’d feel embarrassed.\u00a0 “Look at me,” Chris repeated, hissing through clenched teeth.<\/p>\n

Deep within her pussy, Chris’ cock swelled.\u00a0 He jerked to a stop and then groaned as he forced himself to continue.\u00a0 Lynn felt him cumming in her and it filled her, adding to her own wetness.\u00a0 And then, her own orgasm slammed into her and she forgot to breathe.\u00a0 Lynn’s muzzle worked soundlessly as an insanely intense orgasm caused every single nerve in her body to light up.\u00a0 She bucked and locked her thighs around Chris’ throat.\u00a0 A piece of her felt him pry loose as he pulled out and that caused another string of orgasms to roar through her.\u00a0 Lynn twisted, kicking her hooves out as she rolled, gasping and shaking, her tail whipping and thrashing around her.<\/p>\n

When Lynn could finally control herself, she rolled over, breathing heavily.\u00a0 Chris was crouched on the floor, breathing almost as hard as she was with his hand over her right arm.<\/p>\n

“Why,” Lynn croaked.\u00a0 “Over.\u00a0 There?”<\/p>\n

Chris tapped at his right shoulder as he breathed.\u00a0 Lynn’s eyes tried to focus and then she saw it – a thick welt on his upper arm.\u00a0 “Was… was…”\u00a0 She gasped.<\/p>\n

“Tail,” Chris answered.\u00a0 “Your tail.”<\/p>\n

“S… sorry.”<\/p>\n

Chris waved her apology away.\u00a0 Finally, he stood.\u00a0 His cock lay half-erect and she blushed at how big it was now that she saw him.\u00a0 Chris sat beside the young woman.\u00a0 She could smell the sex in the air and it made her twist her legs together.\u00a0 She felt his cum oozing out of her but all he wanted to do was ask if he could go again.\u00a0 Doubts clashed into her.\u00a0 What if we had sex just because it was the heat of the moment? <\/i>She worried. What if he looks at me now and thinks I’m ugly?<\/i><\/p>\n

“You… you can sleep here,” she told him.\u00a0 “If you want.”<\/p>\n

Chris ran his fingers along her fury jaw, around her ears and into her thick brown hair.\u00a0 He smiled at her.\u00a0 “Actually, this is my bed.\u00a0 But, you can sleep here.\u00a0 If you want.\u00a0 I’d like that.\u00a0 A lot.”\u00a0 Lynn pulled Chris down to her soft chest, hugging him tightly to her body.\u00a0 “And if you wait a while, I might see if I can convince you to do that again.”<\/p>\n

—–<\/p>\n

Chris groaned as his alarm sounded on the small bedside table.\u00a0 He couldn’t remember when he’d finally fallen asleep.\u00a0 His body ached but he felt amazingly good.\u00a0 Silencing the alarm, he sat up and then hissed in pain.\u00a0 A huge black and blue bruise covered his upper right arm.\u00a0 He grinned at it before standing to look for his clothes.<\/p>\n

Stepping into the living room, he found Lynn sitting on the couch, facing away from him.\u00a0 She wore her light summer work pants – black stretchy exercise clothes – and the same black and red shirt from last night.\u00a0 She held her tail in her lap and he watched quietly as she worked a pink ribbon back and forth around her brown tail until she reached the tip.\u00a0 She finished the ribbon with a small, poorly-done bow that made her frown.<\/p>\n

Laying her tail down, she glanced up to notice Chris standing in the hallway. “H… hey,” she said, nervously.<\/p>\n

“Good morning,” Chris replied, smiling at her.\u00a0 “Why the ribbon?”<\/p>\n

Lynn hefted her thick tail and it twisted in her grasp.\u00a0 “It… it makes me feel pretty.”\u00a0 She told him.<\/p>\n

Chris walked to her, kneeling in front of her as he had the night of the storm.\u00a0 He touched her face gently, pulling her muzzle up so she would look at him.\u00a0 “You already are,” he told her.\u00a0 Chris pressed his face against her furry neck and then sat back, smiling at the young woman in front of him.<\/p>\n

Lynn pressed her fingers to her neck, rubbing the skin through her fur.\u00a0 “What was that,” she asked.<\/p>\n

Chris’ smile widened.\u00a0 “A kiss.”<\/p>\n

The corner of Lynn’s muzzle turned up into a shy smile.\u00a0 Her fur hid her sudden blush.\u00a0 “Can,” she stopped.<\/p>\n

“What?”\u00a0 Chris asked.<\/p>\n

“I- don’t laugh.\u00a0 Will you brush me?”<\/p>\n

Chris cocked his head.\u00a0 “I’d, yeah, I’d love to.”<\/p>\n

Lynn slowly undid the buttons of her shirt.\u00a0 Chris’ eyes flicked to her exposed breasts and his cock ached as it grew erect.\u00a0 With the last unbutton undone, she worked her shoulders and the shirt slid to the couch behind her.\u00a0 Her back lay bare to him, brown fur with small white patches.\u00a0 Lynn handed him a brush and then leaned forward, heavy breasts dangling above her udder.<\/p>\n

With slow, careful strokes of the brush, Chris worked the tangles out of the thick fur along Lynn’s spine.\u00a0 She jerked occasionally and he apologized but kept brushing.\u00a0 Every so often, he ran his free hand through the soft, short hair along her sides.\u00a0 When he did, Lynn closed her eyes and sighed.<\/p>\n

“You know,” Chris said.\u00a0 “I was thinking.\u00a0 Your bedroom could make a really good office for you.\u00a0 I could get some filing cabinets and things and move my computer in there.”<\/p>\n

“But, Mr. Chapman,” Lynn said with a smile.\u00a0 “Where would I sleep?”<\/p>\n

“Well, Ms. Hathaway, I was thinking about that.”<\/p>\n

“Yes, Mr. Chapman?”<\/p>\n

“It’s getting on towards fall and you’re awful warm and my bed’s awful big.”<\/p>\n

Lynn’s smile widened, showing all of her wide, white teeth.\u00a0 “Mr. Chapman, I do believe those are fair terms.”<\/p>\n

Chris laughed.\u00a0 “Shall we shake on it, Ms. Hathaway?”<\/p>\n

Rather than reply, the young woman twisted.\u00a0 Placing her hand on his cheek, she pulled him towards her and their lips touched.<\/p>\n

“Sealed with a kiss, Mr. Chapman,” Lynn whispered.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
