Brandy sat at the end of an over-stuffed brown couch with a glass of red wine in one hand.\u00a0 Her other hand held a white envelope.\u00a0 Kevin sat at the opposite end from her, one leg crossed on the couch.\u00a0 Light music played from the stereo system while Brandy stared suspiciously at the young man.<\/p>\n
“Our anniversary was three months ago,” Brandy informed him.<\/p>\n
“I know, I know.\u00a0 Just open the thing already!” Kevin’s words were gentle despite his protest.<\/p>\n
Brandy continued to stare.\u00a0 “This better not be a proposal.”<\/p>\n
“Oh god no,” Kevin assured her.\u00a0 “No no no.\u00a0 Trust me.\u00a0 I mean,” he corrected as Brandy’s eyes hardened.\u00a0 “Not that you’re not worth marrying.\u00a0 I mean.\u00a0 Not that you aren’t-\u00a0 Look, just open it before I say anything worse.\u00a0 Please?”<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
With a final look, Brandy set her wine glass down and carefully opened the envelope.\u00a0 She’d always been careful with personal letters and gifts, making sure to never just tear through either of them.\u00a0 She had a little box where she kept old letters with their envelopes.\u00a0 This one was simple and just her name was written on the front in black ink. Inside was a white card with an artistic red heart on the front.\u00a0 Brandy smiled at it.<\/p>\n
The card was well made with thick paper rather than the cheap plastic-y gloss cards that most places sold.\u00a0 Sneaking a sip of her wine, she opened the card.\u00a0 There were no pictures or pre-printed words inside.\u00a0 Kevin’s handwriting was normally atrocious – sloppy and quick and barely recognizable but he’d taken care with what he’d written in the card.\u00a0 She could almost picture him writing each letter slowly and her smile deepened.<\/p>\n
I saw you for the first time over a year ago in that little coffee shop.\u00a0 You had the most amazing smile and these little dimples that made my heart melt.\u00a0 I listened to you talk and laugh with the customers while I waited and by the time it was my turn, I couldn’t even remember what I wanted!\u00a0 I could barely look at you while I tried to remember my order.\u00a0 I didn’t realize then exactly how much you’d come to mean to me but I understand now.<\/em><\/p>\n Hey.\u00a0 Look up.<\/em><\/p>\n Brandy looked up automatically.\u00a0 Kevin’s face was completely red.\u00a0 His hands were gripped together in a tight knot and he looked incredibly uncomfortable.<\/p>\n “Brandy,” Kevin said.\u00a0 “I.\u00a0 I, umm.\u00a0 God.\u00a0 I love you.\u00a0 And you don’t have to say it back or anything at all.\u00a0 I just realized it and I wanted to-” The young woman’s smile deepened until her teeth showed.\u00a0 She could feel her own love, hidden for a few months but suddenly surging.\u00a0 “Oh.\u00a0 There are those dimples again.\u00a0 Brandy-”<\/p>\n Kevin’s words were cut off as Brandy fairly launched herself at him.\u00a0 She held him tight against her, kissing his neck and mouth.<\/p>\n “You nerd.\u00a0 I love you, too,” she told him.<\/p>\n “Oh thank god.\u00a0 Seriously?\u00a0 Really?\u00a0 Since when?\u00a0 You never said anything so I wasn’t sure.\u00a0 I thought this whole time it was maybe me and just me but I had to say something because-”<\/p>\n Brandy laid a finger on Kevin’s lips.\u00a0 “You talk too much sometimes, honey.\u00a0 I’m sorry I didn’t say anything.\u00a0 I’ve had-\u00a0 It hasn’t usually gone well for me.”\u00a0 She lay against her boyfriend on the large couch.\u00a0 Her smile faltered as she remembered the past and it took effort to push it away.<\/p>\n “Hey,” Kevin said.\u00a0 “I’m sorry.\u00a0 I didn’t mean to stir anything up.”<\/p>\n “No, it’s fine,” Brandy said.\u00a0 “Besides, this is about us, not anything or anybody else.\u00a0 Thank you for the card and for finally telling me.\u00a0 I know how shy you are so that had to be hard.\u00a0 How long did you wait to tell me?”<\/p>\n “A while,” Kevin said, blushing again.<\/p>\n “‘A while’, huh?” Brandy said, teasing her boyfriend.\u00a0 “Half a year?\u00a0 A whole year?\u00a0 Love at first sight?\u00a0 I knew it!\u00a0 You fell in love with my dimples right when you saw me, didn’t you?”<\/p>\n Kevin laughed.\u00a0 “No.\u00a0 About a month ago, when we were at the fair.\u00a0 We were waiting in line for cotton candy and, I don’t know, I just looked at you and my heart just swelled up.\u00a0 I almost cried.\u00a0 It was weird.\u00a0 But, about then.”\u00a0 His hand traced gently along Brandy’s back while he talked and she sighed in pleasure.<\/p>\n “Well, for me it was almost two months before that.\u00a0 You’d left me a message while I was at work.\u00a0 Remember when I had that crappy day where the customer spilled her drink on me on purpose?\u00a0 You left a message just telling me you were thinking of me and talking about all the different things you liked about me and how you were going to take me out for ice cream after work.\u00a0 I still listen to it sometimes, when I’m unhappy.\u00a0 And now you know my dark-”\u00a0 Brandy stopped.<\/p>\n “Secret?” Kevin finished.<\/p>\n “Yeah,” Brandy said.\u00a0 She pressed herself closer to her boyfriend and he hugged her more tightly in return.<\/p>\n It’s pointless, you know,<\/em> the voice in her head told her.\u00a0 He’ll either find out eventually or you’ll just have to dump him or leave.\u00a0 How long will that be?\u00a0 Are you going to tell him?\u00a0 Remember what happened last time?\u00a0 Did we ever hear back from Richard when we told him?\u00a0 No?\u00a0 Not a single word since he called us crazy and left.<\/em>\u00a0 Brandy breathed quietly.\u00a0 Kevin’s hands worked up and down her back and the effect was more calming than she’d like to admit.\u00a0 She relaxed and cleared her mind until the voice grew more and more quiet.<\/p>\n Brandy found herself arching her back slightly and shifting around to encourage Kevin to scratch different areas.\u00a0 She sighed happily under his attentions as her mood lightened.\u00a0 She felt her arousal building – a sweet aching that boiled away the rest of the unpleasant thoughts.\u00a0 They rolled together until Brandy was on top, pushing herself slightly up on her hands above Kevin.<\/p>\n Scratches turned into light fingers that ran along her soft sides and wide hips.\u00a0 Brandy leaned forward to kiss under Kevin’s jaw and then moaned as his hands dug into her ass.\u00a0 He pulled her hips down to him and she could feel his excitement.\u00a0\u00a0 Brandy licked Kevin’s neck happily and then rocked back, rubbing herself on his erection.\u00a0 She was suddenly incredibly turned on.\u00a0 Heat radiated from her stomach, racing up her body and the young woman gasped, arching her back until her hips were raised.\u00a0 She whined with her need, sure that her panties were completely soaked.\u00a0 She could smell<\/em><\/strong> herself in the air and that only pushed her arousal.<\/p>\n Sparing barely a moment to think, Brandy pushed away from Kevin.\u00a0 His hands reached for his pants but Brandy pushed his hands away.\u00a0 She felt drunk from her scent and the heat radiating throughout her body.\u00a0 The young woman reached for her boyfriend’s zipper.<\/p>\n And then stopped.<\/p>\n “I-” Brandy said, her voice suddenly dry.\u00a0 Her cheeks and the tips of her ears burned from the urge deep within her body.<\/p>\n “Hey, you okay, sweetheart?” Kevin asked.<\/p>\n “I’m sorry.\u00a0 I have to go.\u00a0 It’s, it’s nothing you did.\u00a0 I just, I have to go.\u00a0 I’ll call you later, okay?\u00a0 I’m sorry.\u00a0 I really sorry,” Brandy stumbled as she stood.\u00a0 She held her right hand under her armpit.\u00a0 “Trust me.\u00a0 I swear, it’s nothing you did.\u00a0 I have to go.\u00a0 I… I love you.\u00a0 I promise I’ll call later, okay?”<\/p>\n “But- hey, are you… are you sure everything is okay?”<\/p>\n “Yes,” Brandy said shortly.\u00a0 Her forehead and temples pounded with her racing heart.\u00a0 Her heat was spreading deeper inside and she was sure she could feel her juices running down her thighs.\u00a0 “I really… \u00a0you’re fine.\u00a0 I have to go.”<\/p>\n The young woman grabbed her purse and shoes and left without a glance back.\u00a0 She nearly ran to her car.\u00a0 She cursed quietly at the gravel in Kevin’s driveway until, after the third step, it stopped hurting.\u00a0 And then she cursed for a different reason.<\/p>\n Only when she’d backed out of her boyfriend’s driveway and shifted into drive did she finally take her right hand from under her armpit.\u00a0 She could see clearly even without the street lights she passed as she raced home.<\/p>\n Thick black claws tipped each finger of her right hand.\u00a0 Bright red blood trailed away from where her skin had split.\u00a0 Brown and black fur had grown along the back of her hand and the joints of her fingers were swollen.\u00a0 She could see the delicate white skin along the bottom of her hand slowly darkening.\u00a0 She prayed she made it home in time.<\/p>\n Brandy was panting as she pulled into her own small driveway.\u00a0 Sweat lined her face as she ran through imaginary lists to keep her focus.<\/p>\n January, March… no!\u00a0 February.\u00a0 March.\u00a0 April.\u00a0 May.\u00a0 June.\u00a0 July.\u00a0 September.\u00a0 November.\u00a0 I.\u00a0 Did I?\u00a0 Was there more?\u00a0 Dammit.\u00a0 Dammit.<\/em><\/p>\n The urge to drop to all fours and run was difficult to ignore as she stepped into the small walkway leading to her house.\u00a0 She was barefoot now, her tattered socks trailing behind her as her claws clicked on the concrete.\u00a0 Her t-shirt had ripped and, had she been more mentally present, she’d concerned about exposing herself to her neighbors.<\/p>\n Inside inside inside inside inside, <\/em>the young woman chanted as her mind slowly faded.\u00a0 With luck, she made it into her small house and locked the door behind herself before collapsing to the floor.<\/p>\n —–<\/p>\n When Brandy woke the next day, she was completely naked and curled into a small ball in the corner of her bedroom.\u00a0 Small brown and black hairs were stuck to her body with old, dried sweat.\u00a0 She couldn’t remember anything since stumbling away from her boyfriend’s house.\u00a0 Fresh shame coursed through her as she remembered running away.\u00a0 The small, always present voice, laughed at her.<\/p>\n Brandy stood.\u00a0 As always, her first job was to see what she’d done the night before.\u00a0 Second was the shower.\u00a0 And then, Kevin.\u00a0 Glancing at the clock, she sighed.\u00a0 No,<\/em> she thought. Work first since I’m late.<\/em><\/p>\n —–<\/p>\n “I’m so, so sorry,” Brandy said.\u00a0 She held her cellphone to her ear as she drove to work.\u00a0 “No, I meant it.\u00a0 It wasn’t anything you did or said.\u00a0 The card was beautiful and it made me so happy to hear that you loved me.\u00a0 I’m, wow, I’m really sorry because it was terrible timing but, I, uhh, something in the food or wine didn’t agree with me and I didn’t want to throw up all over you or make a scene at your place. No, no, no, it’s got nothing to do with you opening up to me.\u00a0 Trust me.”<\/p>\n She listened for a moment before replying.\u00a0 “No, I know that it’s part of your job to take care of me but I guess I have to get used to it.\u00a0 I’m sorry I ruined the evening.\u00a0 I just didn’t want it to end with me throwing up all over your house.\u00a0 Yeah, yeah I am better.\u00a0 Thank you.\u00a0 Hey, I just got to work and I need to rush in.\u00a0 Let’s talk afterwards, okay?\u00a0 I’ll have to work late tonight to make up for coming in late.”<\/p>\n Despite her anxiety and the stress from the situation, Brandy smiled.\u00a0 “Yeah.\u00a0 Yeah, I love you, too.\u00a0 Talk to you later, honey.”\u00a0 Brandy hung up and rushed into work, apologizing profusely as she entered.<\/p>\n —–<\/p>\n Later that evening, having placated Kevin with a long, sickeningly sweet phone call, Brandy sat in bed.\u00a0 She’d undressed after the call.\u00a0 The young woman stared down at herself as she breathed slowly and deeply.\u00a0 She traced a hand down her belly, wondering for the hundredth time if she should get a gym membership.\u00a0 She hated the thought because she felt fine and sexy regardless of her weight.\u00a0 But, a constant stream of caffeine addicted soccer moms and fit women from the yoga studio across from her work made her doubt herself.\u00a0 And all of that despite Kevin’s assurances.<\/p>\n She was propped up on four pillows and was on top of her soft, old blanket.\u00a0 Her thighs were thick but smooth and her toes were small and cute.\u00a0 Occasionally she painted her toenails but- she let that thought drop away.\u00a0 Her pubic hair was short, fanning out to cover her mound.\u00a0 She trimmed on date nights but was sometimes lazy and Kevin never seemed to mind.\u00a0 She blushed at several memories of her boyfriend between her legs.\u00a0 She could picture him clearly, arms wrapped around her thighs, his eyes focused on what he was doing.\u00a0 His gentle tongue and the way his nails dug into her…<\/p>\n Brandy shuddered.\u00a0 She could feel herself growing wet and she welcomed it.<\/p>\n “I can control this,” she said, out loud.\u00a0 “I can control this.\u00a0 I have to.”<\/p>\n Closing her eyes, she leaned back.\u00a0 Her hair was perpetually short and curly and brown and it tickled her ears.\u00a0 She traced up her thigh with her right hand and her arm pressed against her breast.\u00a0 With a light, gentle touch, she pressed the skin around her clit with the very tip of her nail barely under the hood.\u00a0 She kept a memory of Kevin in her mind.\u00a0 Sweet Kevin – shy but attentive and eager to please without being submissive.<\/p>\n Her scent was sharp in the warm air of her bedroom.\u00a0 She took reflexive deep breaths of the smell.\u00a0 Drool formed in her mouth but she swallowed against it.<\/p>\n “I can control this.\u00a0 It doesn’t control me.”\u00a0 She rubbed herself in small circles with her right hand.\u00a0 Her left hand massaged her breast.\u00a0 “I will not give into it.\u00a0 I will- ohh, Kevin…”<\/p>\n In her mind, Kevin stood before her, spreading her legs open.\u00a0 His face wet from her juices and his cock throbbing before her.\u00a0 He was average sized, perhaps a little on the small size, but incredibly thick.\u00a0 She’d take thickness over length any day of the week and twice on Sunday.\u00a0 Her orgasm was slowly and steadily building.<\/p>\n Brandy moaned and her lips parted.\u00a0 Her tongue lapped at a bit of drool that trickled from the corner of her mouth and then lengthened by fractions of an inch.\u00a0 Brandy pinched her small brown nipple.\u00a0 She began rocking her hips up and down against her imaginary lover.\u00a0 Panting with need, her tongue hung to her chin now.\u00a0 It was wider and not quite as thick as her human tongue.\u00a0 A line of spit rolled from under her tongue and along her chin.\u00a0 She ignored it.<\/p>\n Dream-Kevin was holding her hands up and back, slowly pushing in and out of her.\u00a0 Brandy whined, her brows furrowed as she pictured him naked above her.\u00a0 Leaning down to her, his hairy chest brushing against her nipples.\u00a0 His mouth close to her ears.<\/p>\n You’re my good girl,<\/em> Dream-Kevin said.\u00a0 Brandy yipped in pleasure.<\/p>\n “I- I am a good girl.\u00a0 I’m a good girl,” she panted out loud.\u00a0 Black points pierced her fingertips and she grunted as her joints popped.\u00a0 Small black hairs sprouted amongst her light brown pubic hair.\u00a0 A line of brown and black hairs lifted up from her mound to her belly button.\u00a0 “Good girl.”<\/p>\n Brandy gripped hard against her large, soft breasts.\u00a0 Her hand felt rough against the smooth skin.\u00a0 Thick black callouses were forming along the bottom of her fingers and the palm of her hand.\u00a0 Dark hairs raised along her knuckles and around the side of her hands.<\/p>\n “Good girl,” Brandy panted.\u00a0 She was sweating now.\u00a0 Her lips were darkening from light red to black.\u00a0 “Good-\u00a0 No.\u00a0 No!\u00a0 Bad!”<\/p>\n With a growl, Brandy yanked her hand from between her legs.\u00a0 “Bad girl!\u00a0 Not… not girl.\u00a0 I-\u00a0 I’m-\u00a0 I can… I can…\u00a0 I not.\u00a0 I’m not bad.\u00a0 I’m not bad girl.”<\/p>\n Looking down at herself, she saw her hands changed and light fur covering her lower belly.\u00a0 Brandy screamed in frustration and again closed her eyes.\u00a0 The heat was nearly unbearable and Dream-Kevin kept interrupting her thoughts.\u00a0 He was still naked.\u00a0 Telling her what a good girl she was as he stroked her fur and mounted her.\u00a0 She growled, licking her lips with her long tongue.\u00a0 Moistening her blackened nose.<\/p>\n “I.\u00a0 Can.\u00a0 Control,” Brandy grunted.\u00a0 The growth of fur stopped.\u00a0 The young woman panted hard, her ample chest heaving as she fought her changes.\u00a0 The smell from between her thighs mixed with her sweat and light dusting of fur and she caught herself taking deep breaths of it.\u00a0 “Won’t.\u00a0 Let.\u00a0 Take me.”<\/p>\n Kevin.\u00a0 Kevin likes.\u00a0 Me.\u00a0 He’s… understand.\u00a0 Understanding.\u00a0 More than other.\u00a0 More than the<\/strong> others,<\/em> she corrected herself.\u00a0 She pictured him again.\u00a0 Still naked but sitting back, watching her.\u00a0 She held him in her mind as she reminded herself of who she was.\u00a0 Brandy focused on her breathing.\u00a0 Kevin is nice.\u00a0 Nice Kevin.<\/em><\/p>\n She saw his gentle eyes and gentle face.\u00a0 Smiling at her and she blushed and grinned at the mental picture.\u00a0 Her imaginary tail (Not <\/em><\/strong>tail! No tail! <\/em>She reminded herself) wagged.\u00a0 Dream-Brandy looked down to Kevin’s hairy chest.\u00a0 She loved to run her fingers through it when they cuddled.\u00a0 It was soft and black and covered his entire upper body.\u00a0 She’d just lie there and stroke his fur over and over while she lay against his side.\u00a0 Her claws digging into his fur as he scratched along her back and to her tail and his sharp canines teeth nipped at her neck.<\/p>\n Small black hairs pushed through the skin above her breasts.\u00a0 Little brown hairs joined them and then spread out and over her breasts.\u00a0 The resumed changes were lost on Brandy as she pictured Kevin.\u00a0 In her mind, her thick, furry thigh would be draped over his leg and… Oh.\u00a0 His sheath.\u00a0 Red cock.\u00a0 Sheath.\u00a0 Wet.\u00a0 Smells good.\u00a0 From us.\u00a0 From me.\u00a0 Mounting.\u00a0 Good girl.\u00a0 I’m good girl.\u00a0 Again?\u00a0 Again, Kevin?\u00a0 Again? <\/em><\/p>\n Her mind was fragmenting, losing its intelligence but she could see her furry paws pulling back on Dream-Kevin’s sheath, exposing his knot as she whined for her lover to mount her again.<\/p>\n Skin pushed at the base of Brandy’s back as her tail grew in, wagging in excitement.\u00a0 Her thick paws dipped between her thighs again, pressing her furry breasts together.\u00a0 Words were lost to her as her urges took over.<\/p>\n —–<\/p>\n The next morning Brandy sat at her little dinner table, staring at her cell phone.\u00a0 It was Tuesday but, this week, it was her ‘weekend’ from work.<\/p>\n “I could just leave again,” she said.\u00a0 She wanted to cry.\u00a0 This wasn’t the first time she’d had a conversation like this with herself and Kevin was certainly not the first man she’d left.\u00a0 “Or just break up with him and not ever see him again.”<\/p>\n The young woman twirled the slim phone around the table with one finger.<\/p>\n “Or tell him,” she said again.\u00a0 “See how he takes it.\u00a0 See what he does.\u00a0 See-”<\/p>\n –if he walks away like all the other men?<\/em> Her voice asked.\u00a0 Crazy little Brandy Taylor.\u00a0 Stupid little girl with odd delusions and fetishes.\u00a0 Remember Jonathon?\u00a0 From that fetish website?\u00a0 Remember how you thought, in all your glorious loneliness, that maybe a fetishist would be able to handle it?\u00a0 How you thought maybe pet play would work?\u00a0 How did<\/strong> that work, Brandy?\u00a0 The thought of calling someone Master?\u00a0\u00a0 Wearing a collar?\u00a0 Eating from a dish?\u00a0 Having a leash?\u00a0 Didn’t think that through, did you?\u00a0 You almost tried it, though, didn’t you?\u00a0 Almost.\u00a0 Because who else did you have?\u00a0 How many years had it been since you’d had someone in your life?\u00a0 Someone that cared for you?\u00a0 It wasn’t the same, though, was it?\u00a0 He didn’t look at you like you wanted.\u00a0 You already aren’t a real<\/strong> person but at least you can play pretend<\/strong> to yourself, can’t you?\u00a0 But to have someone else look at you like that?\u00a0 Horrifying, wasn’t it?\u00a0 To see in their eyes that you are an animal.<\/em><\/p>\n “Kevin’s different,” Brandy said dully.<\/p>\n The voice laughed.\u00a0 Call him, then.\u00a0 Have him come over.\u00a0 Tell him your little story.\u00a0 See how different he is.\u00a0 Still a stupid little girl.<\/em><\/p>\n It took over thirty minutes for Brandy to work up the courage to call her boyfriend.\u00a0 She gave silent thanks when she got his voicemail box and left him a message asking him to come to her place after work.\u00a0 She spent most of the day under blankets, sleeping or just pretending she didn’t exist.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Brandy sat at the end of an over-stuffed brown couch with a glass of red wine in one hand.\u00a0 Her other hand held a white envelope.\u00a0 Kevin sat at the opposite end from her, one leg crossed on the couch.\u00a0 Continue reading Stay Ch. 01 [TF \/ MF \/ Were-dog]<\/span>
