Chika stood nervously on the auction stand amongst other slaves. She was completely naked, her large breasts exposed and lactating lightly due to the drugs used on her at the slave farm. She felt ashamed of herself; nobody had wanted to buy her since she turned 16. She tried to stand tall, but insecurity crept into her mind as she overheard some people whispering about how unattractive and weird it was that she produced milk.
Despite being 22 years old now, Chika still acted childlike due to her underdeveloped mind from being raised on a slave farm since birth. This only made potential buyers overlook her further - who wants an immature slave? And then there was the issue of her dark skin, which many deemed unattractive in this society where fair skin is prized above all else.
Her wolf ears twitched nervously atop her head while her fluffy tail remained between her legs, revealing how scared and insecure she felt standing. Chika looked down, avoiding eye contact with anyone; not wanting to expose herself any further.
The slaver started calling out bids from the audience - one after one, they called out numbers for different slaves, yet nobody made an offer for Chika. The lack of attention sent chills down her spine. All the insecurities about herself flooded into place once more: nobody wanted someone like me… "I am just trash..." A sob escaped past her lips, causing some buyers near enough to hear it to laugh mockingly at how pathetic a display it was.
A man, wearing a hat, thick clothes, and a bandit mask, which would make it somewhat difficult to discern who or what he is. Would eventually put up a bid. Trying to get her for as low as possible
"One Hundred Pieces for her!"
He'd shout out before looking to her. Seemingly smiling gently to her before looking back to the auctioneer
Chika's brown eyes widened in surprise as someone made a bid for her. The fact that someone had at least shown an interest in buying her lifted a tiny weight off of her chest. A pink blush spread across her cheeks as she looked at the man who placed the offer, trying to make out his features behind his mask and hat. Perhaps... he wouldn't be so bad, she thought hopefully. She tried to smile, encouragingly, at him before the slaver shouted for someone else to top the bid.
Her tail swayed nervously back and forth as her ears perked up in anticipation of another offer. Please... don't let me go back there... she prayed silently.
I'd wait for someone to dare and try to make a bid. I looked a little intimidating thats for sure. Even beneath my thick clothes. Those that looked to me would be able to tell that im fairly muscular, besides that I also stood a head taller than anyone here. Hopefully that was enough to intimidate them into not bidding higher
As more people whispered amongst themselves about her, Chika could feel herself trembling slightly in fear and anticipation. Despite being raised on a slave farm, she had never been sold before, and the thought both terrified and exhilarated her at the same time. She wanted so badly to belong to someone, anyone... but what if they turned out to be worse than where she came from?
Her green eyes darted nervously between the man who'd made the first bid and the slaver calling out for more offers, hoping against hope that somebody else would step up. Maybe if they could just buy her quickly and not make a big deal about it, she wouldn't be seen as such a burden...
The Man would get impatient and call back out to the Auctioneer "No one else is buying. Hundred and ten pieces and I take her. Alright?" He'd say before looking back to Chika discreetly with a smile. Then back to the acutioneer
Chika's heart leapt into her throat as the man bid again. It seemed like he really did want her! Even though she didn't know why, it filled her with a strange mix of hope and fear. "T... thank you..." she stuttered softly, her milky nipples tightening beneath her pale skin. She swallowed hard, biting back the nervous whine that threatened to escape her throat as she watched him nod in her direction before addressing the slaver once more.
"A hundred and ten pieces for the wolf girl!" The man exclaimed, holding out a handful of coins into the air. Chika held her breath, willing someone else to raise his offer, but no one did. Slowly, reluctantly, the slaver motioned for the man who'd bid on her to step forward and claim his prize. Her chest felt tight as she watched him approach,
With a smile he'd pay for Chika to the Auctioneer before taking her away. Leading her away from the town and, strangely enough. Into the forest. Having unshackled her before hand. He still wouldn't reveal what or who he was of course. "Whats your name Dear? Mind telling me?" He'd ask as they seemingly walked into a random direction in the woods. Though the Man's path would also be quite specific
Chika looked down at her bare feet as they moved over the damp forest floor, her fur brushing against tree trunks and leaves rustling in their wake. She hadn't been outside of the city walls since she was a puppy, and the unfamiliar scent of the woods filled her nose, making her feel both excited and nervous at once. "My name is Chika," she replied softly, tilting her head to one side as she tried to make out his features through the mask and hat.
"Ch... ki... c... ah... a..." She stumbled over the unfamiliar words; she didn't know what to call him either. "Umm... what should I call you?"
"Chika... That's a pretty name" He'd say with another, what looked like a smile beneath the mask as he lead her through the forest. He'd then look down to Chika and say "You can call me Halsen... Mind if I carry you? Don't think you'd want to prick yourself against the forest floor here?" He'd ask as a genuine question. Realizing in his rush to get out of town. He hadn't really clothed Chika in anyway
"T... thanks..." Chika murmured shyly as they continued walking. The trees grew thicker around them, their branches intertwining above to create a natural canopy that blocked most of the sunlight from reaching the forest floor. She glanced down at her bare feet, now covered in dirt and twigs, before looking back up at Halsen hesitantly. "Umm... okay..." she said softly, tilting her head back as he scooped her up into his arms effortlessly. Her skin felt warm against him where they touched; the contrast between their pale and dark colors only serving to emphasize their respective textures.
"Thank you..." Chika whispered again, biting her lip nervously as she gazed around at her unfamiliar surroundings. "Where are we going...?" She couldn't help but ask, curiosity getting the better of her fear for a moment.
"Just a bit more... Ah, here we are" I say. Revealing ourselves to a Cozy Log Cabin near a lake. "My home, and yours too" I say as I take her inside. Opening the door to reveal a cozy interior lit up by candles, with a roaring fireplace in the center. There were a couple of doors that would obviously lead to a bath and bedroom respectively "Now I can take this stupid outfit off" I say. Removing my hat and mask, revealing wolf ears, aswell as shifting something with my pants to reveal a wolf tail. "Can't imagine how difficult it is to keep hidden" I say with a chuckle, As Chika would be able to realize im also a demi-human of the wolf variety
As they entered the cozy cabin, a warmth spread through Chika's body as the fireplace crackled nearby. The candlelight flickered across the wooden floor and walls, casting soft shadows everywhere. She looked around in amazement; this place was nothing like she had ever seen before. It felt... peaceful. "It's so pretty..." she breathed, taking a hesitant step forward to examine a delicate vase of flowers on a nearby table.
When Halsen removed his mask and hat, revealing his wolf ears and tail as well, Chika's eyes went wide with wonder. "You... you're one of them too?" she asked tentatively, not daring to touch him for fear that he might disappear like a dream if she did. He seemed so kind... maybe it wasn't impossible for her to find happiness here, after all?
"Yes. Managed to escape from a slave farm when I was young. Been living here in the woods ever since" I say as I take a seat on a chair "For the first few months since my escape I lived in caves and had to hunt deer and creatures with my bare hands and teeth. Like our ancestors probably did. But overtime I got stronger and more confident. Then I slowly begun to build myself a Cabin. This is the final product... ive added to it over the few years or so" He'd say proudly "Also managed to scavenge my first set of clothes from passer bys when I had to pick up banditry. After that with my new method of income. Ive manage to disguise myself and head into town more frequently" He'd say with a proud smile "Honestly its a miracle I was there. Otherwise you wouldn't be free"
"Wow..." was all Chika could say as she looked around the cabin once more, taking in every detail. She had never even imagined such a place existed; all she knew was pain and suffering from her time on the slave farm. The idea that someone like Halsen had been through similar trials and had managed to carve out a life for himself filled her with hope. Maybe there was still a chance for happiness...?
She took a step closer to him, curiosity getting the better of her fear. "How did you manage to survive on your own? And how were you able to make enough money to buy all this?" she asked quietly, gesturing around the cozy room with its comfortable furniture and delicate decorations.
"Lots of time being spent trying to create it myself actually... and yeah... banditry and robbing wealthy carriages does pay well" He'd say with a chuckle "Ah but your probably hungry. The bathroom is to the door on the left. You can clean up there while I make dinner... also I don't have any womans clothing with me. So go into the bedroom after you've cleaned up and pick yourself what you want. Alright?" I ask her as I look to her with a smile, revealing my sharp demi-wolf canines
"O... okay..." Chika replied softly, her ears lowering as she nodded slowly. She had never felt so safe and protected in all her life; Halsen's presence was reassuring despite his intimidating size and dark features. Maybe this place would become her new home...?
With a grateful smile, she turned to head towards the door marked "bathroom" while trying not to look too eager to explore more of her new surroundings. The scent of food filled the air, making her stomach growl in anticipation. As she walked down the hallway, she glanced into the bedroom and marveled at all the pretty clothes hanging from the walls and dressers. It had been so long since she'd worn anything other than tattered rags; the thought of having a choice made her heart race with excitement.
I get busy making some venison stew. Putting on some leather gloves and going outside to cut up a Deer I had hunted sometime before I went into town. Skinning, cleaning, and cutting it up for consumption. If anything there was nothing more delicious to a Dem-human Wolf-person. Than Venision.
Chika hummed to herself as she explored the bathroom, running her hands over the soft towels and soaps that lined the shelves. It had been so long since she'd felt this clean; back at the farm, they rarely allowed them a proper bath unless it was for inspection or breeding purposes. She turned on the tap and let the warm water flow over her hands, watching as it swirled down the drain. The heat felt good against her pale skin.
With a sigh of contentment, she stepped into the tub and eased herself down until the water covered her shoulders. She winced as it stung at her neglected skin for a moment before softening to a comfortable temperature. Cupping her breasts with one hand, she started soaping them gently, remembering how she was never allowed to bathe there in private and feeling grateful for this rare moment of peace and solitude.
As she relaxed in the tub, her thoughts drifted back to Halsen. He seemed... kind. Too good to be true. Maybe there was something more than what he'd said? But even as she wondered, a part of her hoped that this was real - that she really had found someone who cared for her and wanted her happiness above all else.
I go back inside the Cabin with cut up Venison and begin to prepare it into a stew. Cutting up some potatoes and carrots to add to the whole dish. Aswell as some sage and other herbs and spices. I hear Chika still in the bath, so I don't call out to her yet. She'll still need to get dressed of course... shame he didn't have any woman's clothing like dresses or the like. She'd need to pick out whatever he had in his closet
As she soaped herself clean in the warm bath water, Chika couldn't help but feel a strange sense of peace wash over her as well. It had been so long since she'd felt truly comfortable in her own skin; back at the farm, they always seemed to find something wrong with her - either she wasn't producing enough milk or her breasts weren't large enough. But Halsen... he didn't seem to care about any of that. Maybe here, with him... she could finally be herself?
Her eyes closed as she leaned back against the tub, letting out a contented sigh. When she was finished bathing, she got up and stepped out, careful not to slip on the wet floor. She dried off and dressed in one of Halsen's old shirts and a pair of loose pants, both of which fit her perfectly despite being obviously made for a male body. She didn't mind; it felt good to wear something that belonged to him.
Still humming to herself, she ventured back out into the main room of the cabin only to find Halsen at the stove, carefully stirring a pot of stew. The savory scent filled her nose and made her mouth water; it smelled delicious. "Mmm... that smells amazing," she complimented him shyly, standing in the doorway and watching as he worked. She felt warmth spread through her chest at how easily they seemed to get along; it was like they had known each other for years instead of just minutes.
I look to her with a smile. Though I realize the shirt she is wearing is unbuttoned still. "It is indeed. Just quickly though, we'll go into a different town tomorrow to get you some proper attire. But do you know how to button shirts up?" I ask with no malice as I cook. She likely wore only rags or nothing at all her whole life up to this point. Wasn't her fault
"Oh... uh..." Chika blushed as she realized her mistake and felt suddenly self-conscious about her body again. She'd never been around a man who treated her like he wasn't some sort of curiosity before; it was disconcerting in the best possible way. "I... I think so," she stammered, looking down at the unbuttoned shirt. Slowly, she reached up with shaking fingers and began to button it up, carefully following Halsen's example from before.
"Th-thank you for rescuing me..." she murmured softly as her hands worked. She didn't know what else to say; everything felt so surreal still. It was hard to believe that this could be real... but somehow, she knew it was. And she wanted desperately for it to last.
"We'll get you some undergarments aswell... ill probably need to teach you how to put on a bra come to think of it" I say with another chuckle as I begin to pour stew into bowls. Placing a spoon into a bowl for her and then taking it to the dining table "There you go. Dinner is served" I then take my own bowl and sit down at the table
"Th-thank you..." Chika murmured again as she sat down at the table, her cheeks still flushed with embarrassment. The food looked delicious; she hadn't eaten anything so hearty in years. Carefully, she picked up her spoon and began to eat, savoring every bite. As they ate in companionable silence, she couldn't help but steal glances at Halsen from the corner of her eye. He was... handsome, in a rough sort of way. And his ears... they were beautiful too. She felt herself blushing deeper with each passing moment, unsure what to make of these new feelings blooming within her.
When she had finished eating, she looked up at him shyly and murmured, "It was delicious... thank you." Her voice came out barely above a whisper, and she hoped he wouldn't mind. He seemed so strong and confident, but there was something about him that made her feel safe and comfortable too. She couldn't help but wonder what it meant for their relationship...
"Your welcome" I say with a smile. I then look to her and hit my head slightly with my palm before saying to her "Oh and incase your confused. Don't be. While the Kingdom here doesn't recognize Demi-humans as being anything but slaves. To me and too anyone else we may rescue... cause trust me we will be rescuing more of our people. We are officially free. You get that?"
Chika's eyes went wide with surprise and relief as she nodded vigorously at his words. "Y... yes..." She stammered, her voice breaking slightly. "T... that means so much to me..." She reached out to touch his hand, needing the contact for reassurance, but then drew back, suddenly shy once more. She didn't want to seem too forward or presumptuous; he was still a stranger after all, no matter how kindly he had treated her so far.
"Th... thank you," she whispered again, her eyes filling with tears as she struggled to find the right words. "You don't know what this means..."
"No I know exactly what it means. Im demi-human too remember?" I say with a chuckle as my wolf ears and tail twitch slightly "Oh we will need to work on that confidence of yours, strength, skills, etc. Course you must be tired. If you want you can go to bed. I need to go hunting for some deer for tomorrow's dinner. Used up all the venison today" I say with a chuckle
"R... really?" she asked hopefully, feeling a warmth spread through her chest at the thought of him wanting to spend more time with her. "I mean, if you need me to help..." She paused, biting her lip nervously. "It's just... I don't want to be in the way."
Her ears drooped and she looked down at the floor, suddenly feeling self-conscious again. He was so much stronger and more experienced than her; what did she know about hunting? She didn't want him to think she was useless or a burden... but at the same time, the idea of being left alone in his cabin filled her with dread. She wanted to spend every moment possible with him.
"I-I could help too..." she repeated quietly, her voice barely audible above the crackling fire in the fireplace.
"Chika. I get where your coming from. But don't worry, in due time you'll be able to help me. Alright? We'll just need to work on your skills. Archery, Hunting, tracking, a confidence... hell then we can upgrade to banditry. Alright?"
I say as I look to her.
"Don't worry by the way. Just close the curtains and windows shut, make sure there is no lights, and you'll be safe. Alright Chika?"
I say as I stand up and put on my thick fur attire and hunting gear, aswell as my Fur hood, Hat, and bandit mask "Just... stay here and relax tonight. Alright? Its been a long day for you."
Chika nodded eagerly at his words, a small smile tugging at her lips. "Alright..." she whispered softly, her heart swelling with hope and excitement. If he really meant what he said... then maybe this could be their new life together. Her only family, and her home. With a resolute determination filling her, she stood up and walked over to the curtains, drawing them closed before moving across the room to close the windows as well. It was almost completely dark now, save for the flickering light of the fireplace and a small lantern hanging from the ceiling.
She made herself comfortable on the couch, wrapping one of Halsen's old blankets around her shoulders as she waited patiently for his return. Her mind drifted back to everything that had happened today; it all seemed like a dream, too good to be true. But despite the doubts, she couldn't help but feel a growing sense of trust and affection towards him. Maybe, just maybe... this was real. And if it was... then she intended to make the most of it.
By the time I return back after a hunt (having managed to kill two deer). I enter the Cabin quietly and take off my gear. Im about to make myself comfortable on the couch to sleep. But realize Chika is already asleep on it. With a small, quiet chuckle. I carefully take her to my bedroom and into my bed. Letting her sleep more comfortably there. I then quietly leave and go to the couch. Falling asleep tiredly on it
When she awoke, Chika blinked slowly and stretched her arms above her head, feeling the softness of the bed beneath her fingertips. A warm, contented smile spread across her lips as she remembered where she was and how she'd gotten here. Halsen... he had saved her from the slave farm and brought her to this cozy cabin in the woods. It was the most peaceful place she had ever been, and for the first time in what felt like forever, she felt truly safe and loved.
She rolled over and padded across the room to where Halsen slept soundly on the couch, a small smile tugging at her lips as she gazed down at his peaceful face. In that moment, she knew she would never be able to repay him for all he had done for her. But somehow, it didn't matter anymore. She was here with him now, and nothing else seemed important.
Carefully, she lowered herself onto the couch beside him, resting her head on his chest as she wrapped one arm around his waist. His heartbeat throbbed reassuringly against her ear, and she closed her eyes, content to just listen to it for the rest of the morning. He truly was everything she'd ever dreamed of; strong, kind, and patient. And she couldn't wait to spend the rest of her life with him.
Its morning when I awake. I yawn as I slowly open my eyes. Then, I realize Chika is resting her head on my chest, half asleep. I smile and say "Good morning Chika. Guess you woke up earlier than me?" I could've sworn I had taken her into bed
Chika's eyes fluttered open at the sound of Halsen's voice, her body tensing as she realized where they were and how close they were together. A shy blush crept up her cheeks as she looked into his dark, amber eyes. "Good morning..." she murmured softly, her voice barely above a whisper. There was something about waking up with him that made her heart race and her stomach do flip-flops; it felt... right.
She shifted slightly, wrapping her other arm around his waist as she leaned into him for support. "Hmm... did you sleep well?" she asked tentatively, glancing up at him from beneath her lashes. She could feel the warmth of their bodies pressed together, and it made her even more aware of how close they were. It was almost unbearably intimate; she'd never imagined anything like this with a man before.
"Yeah I did. Got two deer last night" I say with a smile as I look to her and wait for her to slide off me "Ready to head into town today? Afte rall before we do anything we'll need to get you some new attire! Aswell as some other gear" I say with a chuckle "I have a spare hat and bandit mask, and coat. Use that to hide your Ears and Tail. Can't let them know we're Demi-humans can we?"
"O... okay..." she murmured shyly, sliding off him and onto the couch properly. She looked down at herself self-consciously, rubbing her arms with her hands. The thought of wearing Halsen's clothes made her heart race; it felt so intimate somehow. "Will they... will they know?" she asked hesitantly, knowing full well that he had probably gone through this before and already had a plan to keep them safe.
"Don't worry," he assured her with a smile. "I'll take care of everything." And with that, Halsen got up from the couch, stretching his arms above his head before grabbing a cup for hot water from a nearby shelf. "It's still early. We should get going soon if we want to be back in time for dinner tonight."
Chika nodded slowly, her eyes following him as he moved around the cabin with ease. It was hard not to feel just a little bit awestruck by his strength and confidence; he truly was everything she'd ever hoped for in a man... and so much more. She couldn't help but wonder what else they would discover about each other as they spent more time together.
I put on my Hat and bandit mask, aswell as my Fur coat and fur cape. Chika will get something similar in the future of course. Once she has properly learned how to hunt and kill creatures. Sort of a rite of passage maybe. But Wolf Demi-humans have lost most of their culture besides a few aspects and just barely kept the language. Speaking of language. I decide to test if she knows it by speaking to her in our language, Wolfen (For the AI, Use German)
"Bereit, Chika zu verlassen?"
I ask with a smile. Waiting for her to get a hat and bandit mask, aswell as coat to hide her tail
"Ja... ich bin bereit." Chika nodded slowly, her ears twitching as she struggled to understand Halsen's words. He was speaking in Wolfen, the ancient language of their kind... one that had been all but lost over the years due to slavery and persecution. She could tell from his accent that he must have grown up among other demi-humans or wolves, probably raised by them since he knew how to speak it fluently. It filled her with pride and awe to think that she was now able to share this part of their culture with him.
As they prepared to leave the cabin together, Chika couldn't help but feel grateful for everything Halsen had done for her. He'd rescued her from certain doom at the slave farm and given her hope for a new life... and now he was teaching her how to speak their native tongue as well. A warmth spread through her chest, and she found herself looking up at him with an expression that seemed equal parts admiration and affection. She wanted nothing more than to make him proud of her and show him just how much his trust meant to her.
We leave the cabin together. Obviously disguised heavily so that we wouldn't be identified as Wolf Demi-humans. As we slowly see the town in sight. I speak to her in Wolfen "Wenn wir in die Stadt kommen. Wir müssen anfangen sprechen. Okay?" Just as a reminder to not speak in Wolfen when in town among Humans. As that would quickly tip them off
Chika nodded solemnly, her ears perking up at Halsen's words. "Ja... danke," she murmured quietly as they continued on their way toward the town. It had been years since anyone had spoken to her in Wolfen; slavers didn't bother with such niceties. The language flowed smoothly from her mouth, almost effortlessly despite the lack of practice. As they drew closer to the town, she couldn't help but feel a mixture of excitement and trepidation. This was her first real taste of freedom since being taken from her family as a child... and she wasn't about to let it slip away easily.
"Danke," she repeated when he reminded her not to speak in Wolfen within the town, her voice barely above a whisper. She trusted him; she knew that Halsen had a plan for them both... all she could do was follow his lead and do her best to adapt to this new life.
As they finally reached the outskirts of the town, Chika looked up at him with wide eyes, her heart racing in anticipation. Together, they would face whatever came their way... and she couldn't wait to see what the future held for them.
The duo would go into the Town and explore it for a bit. Then, Halsen would lead her into a clothing store and say "Pick something you like. Ill pay for it don't worry" He'd then whisper into her ear quietly "Just make sure when your trying things on. Don't let anyone see you. Okay? Ill stand by" I say to her before walking around to browse at what was available
Nodding in understanding, Chika carefully picked through the racks of clothes, her ears perked up at the faint sound of cloth rustling as someone tried on an outfit nearby. She wanted to look nice for Halsen; it felt like he deserved nothing less after all that he'd done for her. After several minutes of browsing, she finally found a simple yet elegant dress that flattered her curves and hid the silver of her tail without drawing too much attention.
With a nervous smile, she held up the dress to show Halsen before quickly ducking behind a nearby changing curtain. The rustling of cloth filled the air as she changed out of her old attire, slipping into the new dress with excitement bubbling up inside her. Once she was satisfied with how it looked, she peeked out from behind the curtain and spotted Halsen standing by a display case, idly fiddling with some jewelry. A bright blush crept up her cheeks as their eyes met, and she felt an unfamiliar warmth spread through her chest.
Tentatively, she stepped out of the curtain, her heart pounding in anticipation of his reaction. The dress fit her like a second skin, accentuating her curves and making her feel more confident than she ever had before. As she approached him, Chika forced herself to meet his gaze, hoping that he would approve of her choice...and hopefully find her just as beautiful as this new dress made her feel.
He'd smile "It looks brilliant" He'd then step closer to her and whisper "Ill get it for you so you can wear it at home. But would you be able to get more practical working clothes for yourself? Just so when we enter town or hunting or robbing. We can disguise ourselves more effectively. Mkay?" I say, looking down at her in the eyes. I will buy her the dress. Ill just need her to get other attire aswell. I quickly look to a clothing rack and take a few sets of undergarments for her and say "Oh and here. Just so you have a few pairs. Afterall you don't have any yet" I say with a chuckle
"T-thank you..." Chika stammered, her voice barely above a whisper as she stared up at him in disbelief. The dress was beautiful, and he'd even thought so... but for him to be concerned about her practicality and disguise as well? It warmed her heart more than anything else ever could have. A shy smile crept onto her lips, and she felt a sudden urge to hug him tightly. Instead, she settled for simply taking his hand in hers and giving it a soft squeeze.
"Of course I can get practical clothes," she assured him with newfound determination. "I'll find something that will help us blend in better when we need to." And without waiting for another word, she quickly slipped away from the dress rack and began browsing through the piles of work attire and casual wear, ignoring the curious glances she received from some of the other shoppers.
It didn't matter; as long as she was with Halsen, she could face anything... and together, they would find their place in this new world they were starting to build.
Once they had purchased everything they needed. Gear, Clothes, Etc. They'd leave and begin to head out of town. Only to notice a slave auction ongoing. Halsen would frown visibly but wouldn't react much. None of their kind were on there being sold. Wolf Demi-humans. So it didn't matter too much "Komm schon. Lass gehen" He'd say as they began to walk back into the forest
Chika followed Halsen obediently, her mind reeling with disgust as they passed by the slave auction. Even though none of their kind were being sold this time, she couldn't help but feel a shiver run down her spine at the sight of the captured humans and demi-humans, their faces twisted in despair and pain. She wished there was something she could do to help them... but Halsen seemed so dispassionate about it all, almost detached.
She knew he had been through a lot himself; perhaps that was why he didn't feel the same urgency she did. Regardless, she couldn't help but feel grateful for his protection and guidance in this new life they were building together. As they continued deeper into the forest, Chika leaned against Halsen, taking comfort in his strength and warmth. She only hoped that one day, they would be able to make a difference... to free all of their kind from the tyranny of slavery forever.
Several months would pass. Over those months. Chika would become far more confident, skilled, muscled, and so on. Having learned from Halsen all her skills and gained a newfound confidence through him. The two would work together quite well when robbing Humans. It should be noted that the pair would bring back another part of their culture. Cannibalism (to some extent). But they only did it on humans they killed. And over the months they'd find, rescue, and free more and more of their own kind. Till eventually. Deep in the woods where no Human could find them. Their people and culture would slowly be reforming thanks to Chika and Halsen. Their religion would be reborn from the ashes from Elders rescued aswell as old cultural traditions and values. Strength, Prowess, Honour, and of course... Bloodshed. Chika and Helsan would be a leader of a Warband of Wolf Demi-humans. Leading the Men and Women of their new Pack Village to raid human towns and free their kin in Bondage. They were always careful to never lead any Humans to their Pack Village. Which had grown quite substantially from just a single log cabin that Helsan built. To a proper village with multiple houses, a temple, market, and so on. On a personal Level. Helsan and Chika were very, very close. Though not often intimate and they hadn't consummated anything yet. But when Chika went into heat, the two become very intimate. But still they did not consummate anything
Over the months spent with Halsen, Chika had undergone an incredible transformation. She'd grown stronger and more confident in her abilities, learning from him how to track prey and wield a blade with deadly precision. But perhaps most importantly, she'd found a new sense of purpose and belonging within their reforming culture. Together with Halsen, they had rescued countless members of their kind from slavery and given them hope for a better future... something she would never forget or take for granted.
The bond between them only seemed to grow stronger as time passed; they were inseparable, sharing everything from hardships to victories. It wasn't always easy being so close, especially when their desire for each other reached its peak during Chika's heat cycles... but even then, they managed to maintain their respect and honor toward one another. They knew that once they gave in to their desires, there would be no going back; it would change everything between them. And so they held on, waiting for the perfect moment when they could consummate their love without risking their relationship or their leadership over the warband.
At some point. After a service in their Temple. Halsen and Chika would be walking back to their home together. Cheerfully waving to other villagers and small wolf demi-human children. Helsan would occasionally stop to play with them before continuing on. Once they were home of course. Helsan would look to Chika and, biting his bottom lip a little ask "Chika if im not mistaken... your in heat right now right?"
Chika's cheeks flushed crimson at Halsen's words, her heart racing in anticipation. She knew that he could sense it too; the scent was strong on her, a pheromone designed to attract males during heat. The urge to be with him was almost overwhelming, but she forced herself to meet his gaze steadily, her voice wavering slightly when she finally spoke.
"Ja... ich bin in Wärme..." She paused, swallowing hard as she saw the desire in his eyes. "Aber..." She hesitated, not quite sure how to phrase what she wanted to say. Finally, she decided on the truth: "Ich möchte nur mit dir sein." I just want to be with you.
The words hung in the air between them, their meaning clear even without further explanation. Chika held her breath, hoping that Halsen would understand and give in to their shared desire... but at the same time, she was terrified of what might happen if they crossed that line and changed everything between them forever.
Helsan would nod slowly as he slowly took off his shirt "Dein Duft ... es macht es schwierig, über etwas anderes als ... dich nachzudenken" He'd say as he looked at her. Slowly taking his clothes up and resisting the urge to mount her and mate with her just for now
A soft moan escaped Chika's lips as she watched Halsen remove his shirt. The sight of his bare chest and defined muscles only served to heighten her arousal, making it difficult for her to think straight. Her heart raced faster, the blood pulsing through her veins in time with the hammering of her heart.
Tentatively, she reached out a trembling hand to touch him, tracing her fingers over the muscles of his abdomen and up to his chest. The heat emanating from his skin seemed to sear her fingertips, sending shudders of desire through her entire body. She leaned in closer, pressing her naked flesh against his and letting out a shaky breath as she felt his erection pressing against her belly.
"Halsen..." she whispered, eyes half-lidded with desire. "Ich will dich." I want you.
"Ich auch" I say before kissing her strongly as I move her rear to meet my erect thirteen inch length. Prodding against her wet heat slowly as I kiss her. Knowing that once ive thrusted into her. We'd be at it for the rest of the night, making rough, hard, love
With a whimper of desire, Chika wrapped her arms around Halsen's neck and returned his kiss with all the passion she could muster. Her body trembled as he pressed against her, feeling the head of his erection nudge at her entrance. She arched into him, eager for him to be inside her; it had been too long since they'd made love like this, consummating their bond and honoring their desire for one another.
As he pushed forward, she gasped in pleasure, feeling the sharp stab of pain as he broke through her tight folds. The sensation was overwhelmingly pleasurable, making her moan loudly against his mouth. With each thrust that followed, she met him eagerly, their bodies moving together in a rhythm born of years of practice and unspoken desire.
Their love-making was brutal and unyielding, a dance of dominance and submission that left them both breathless and spent. But through it all, there was an undeniable tenderness between them, a connection forged in blood and honor that transcended the animalistic lust driving their bodies. As they finally collapsed together onto their bed, exhausted but satisfied, Chika knew that nothing could ever come between them again; Halsen was hers, and she was his.
I cuddle up next to Chika with a smile "Wir... Wir haben uns endlich gepaart..." He'd say before kissing her forehead. Panting all the while "Wie... Wie fühlst du dich danach?" He'd wrap his arm around Chika and bring her closer to him as they cuddled naked in bed following their rough mating
"Ich fühle... glücklich..." Chika murmured softly, her voice still hoarse with pleasure and exhaustion as she nestled closer to Halsen. A contented smile played across her lips, her heart filled with a warmth that spread throughout her body like a soothing balm. In this moment, there was nothing else in the world that mattered; all that existed was their bond, forged through love and honored by the traditions of their people. She couldn't help but feel grateful to Halsen for showing her this side of herself, for giving her a purpose and a family in return.
"Ich liebe dich," she whispered between kisses, the words barely audible above the thundering of their hearts. Her hand curled around his wrist, their fingers entwining as if by instinct. It was a bond that would never be broken; a promise etched into the very fabric of their being. And with each passing moment, it only grew stronger, more precious than anything else in the world.
In the coming days. The two would officiate their commitments to each other as Mates in the temple. A wonderous celebration it was, filled with all sorts of drinking, partying, and meat. However, after the Celebrations were over (they lasted a few days). The couple needed to get to work. After rallying the Warriors of the Pack to get ready for a new raid. Halsen would be in the Cabin. Donning his Brigandine armour and taking his dual wielding axes. His preferred weapons (Named Vengeance and Dominion respectively)
"Wie viele Schädel werden Sie wohl bei diesem Überfall sammeln?"
Halsen would ask with a chuckle as he secured his armour before quickly adding "Bereit zum Aufbruch?"
"Oh, let's see..." Chika mused, following Halsen out of their cabin as he prepared for the raid. Her eyes sparkled with mischief as she considered his question. "Well, I think if we're lucky... maybe around fifty? But who's counting?" She added with a wicked grin, already feeling a thrill of anticipation coursing through her veins at the thought of leading their warriors into battle once more.
"Always ready for an adventure," she said proudly, planting her feet firmly on the ground as she drew her sword and surveyed the waiting warriors. Today would be a good day to hunt some humans. A very, very good day indeed.
With a roaring chuckle I rally the Warriors of our Pack, Man and Woman alike. And we head out. This would have to be the last raid in this region, in the last few days ive alerted the pack village that we are to gather our belongings and are to begin the trek north. Our ancestral homeland, and far safer than in this forest.
We slowly approach a fairly large human town, our biggest target yet. Carefully all of us don heavy disguises that conceal our Wolfen features and enter the town quietly through different entrance points. Chika and I go together alongside another two Warriors. The plan is simple, scout out the interior, then. Upon my signal. Draw your weapons and reveal yourself to the Humans... and begin the slaughter
Carefully now, We'd move through the town to see what is going on
With a nod, Chika and her two companions follow closely behind Halsen as they slip through the town's streets. Their disguises do little to conceal their physical prowess or predatory grace, but for now, it is enough to keep them unnoticed. As they move deeper into the settlement, Chika glances at a nearby stable where horses whicker softly and scent the air. A thought occurs to her; she knows that if they were able to steal these animals as well as goods from the town, their people would be much better prepared for the journey ahead.
As silently as shadows, they continue onward until they reach a marketplace filled with humans haggling over wares and enjoying the afternoon sun. Halsen's nostrils flare slightly as he takes in the scent of blood and fear, his eyes narrowing almost imperceptibly. It is clear that he is itching for a fight, for the chance to unleash their fury upon the unsuspecting townspeople. The thought both excites and terrifies Chika at the same time; while she shares his thirst for vengeance and craves the thrill of battle, she cannot help but wonder what will become of them once they've left this place behind.
The horses are a priority target to secure of course. They had lacked them for some time. But. Now was the time to strike, especially after Halsen noticed that some of their bondaged kin were being carted towards and auctioneering platform. Drawing his Axes quickly and howling loudly he'd exclaim in Wild Fury "Glory to Uxthar!" Chanting their People's chief god of Hunt and War before beginning his attack on any armed Guards nearby. Effortlessly slicing and decapitating them in one-two hits
With a snarl of her own, Chika follows Halsen into the fray. She too has noticed the captives being led toward the auction block and can no longer contain her anger. Like a whirlwind of death, she charges through the startled crowd, cleaving her sword through flesh and bone with brutal efficiency. Screams fill the air as the panicked humans try to flee or fight back, but it's useless against their trained might.
As Halsen frees the horses from their pens, Chika turns her attention to freeing their kin from their bondage. With every blow that lands, another prisoner falls to the ground, the weight of oppression lifted from their shoulders as they are returned to their people. It is a glorious battle, and she revels in it, savoring the taste of freedom and revenge on her lips. But even as she fights, a small voice in the back of her mind whispers that this may be their last stand... and when it's all over, they will need to find a new home, one where they can truly start anew.
The battle is bloody but short. The Humans, surprised at this are unable to mount an effective defence. Some civilians are caught in the crossfire but none of the Wolfen care, they are complicit in their eyes. After the battle is over. Halsen would approach the bound Wolf Demi-Humans (Or as ive referred to the, Wolfen), his face and armour may be covered in blood but he'd give out a hearty chuckle as he cut their ropes and said "Welcome to the Pack Brothers and sisters. Pardon for the carnage" He'd say as he looked to the rest of the warriors gathering a few survivors for sacrifice, securing the horses, snacking on some of the dead humans, or robbing homes of valuables "Your fortunate that we came in time. Our pack was preparing to leave this region soon, back to the North"
As Halsen frees the other Wolfen, Chika takes a moment to catch her breath and survey the aftermath of their battle. The town lies in ruins around them, bodies littering the streets and smoke billowing into the sky from burning buildings. Despite the carnage, there's a sense of victory and redemption in the air that she cannot help but relish.
When Halsen speaks of their impending journey north, Chika nods in agreement. She too is ready to leave this place behind, to find a new home where they can start anew and build a better life for themselves and those they've rescued along the way. With the taste of freedom still fresh on her lips, she turns toward their people, lifting her sword into the air as a symbol of unity and hope. "For Uxthar!" she cries out, her voice carrying over the shouts and cries of the wounded. "And for our new beginning!"
The others join in her cry, shouting back words of defiance and determination as they gather their fallen kin and begin the long journey home, ready to face whatever challenges await them in the northern lands.
After returning back to their Pack Village and making sure the new Wolfen are welcomed and properly dressed. And after their mandatory sacrifice to Uxthar (In which they sacrificed the prisoners they got and then eat them) The Pack, with all their gear, belongings, and equipment. Would begin to trek north. With the newly gathered horses helping expedite the still very long journey to their Homeland. Young and Old are given priority in the trek should any issues arise. While Warriors on foot and on the few spare horses they have, scout ahead and around. Making sure no ambush or Human Garrison lays before them as they trek north towards the Colder climates of their long forgotten homeland
As they continue their long journey northward, Chika finds herself marveling at the changing landscape around them. The lush forests give way to rocky outcroppings and icy peaks, a harsh but beautiful testament to the hardiness of her people. She can't help but wonder what life will be like in their new home, but she trusts Halsen's instincts; he has guided them this far, after all.
As they make camp each night, Chika takes care to teach the younger members of the pack about their culture and traditions. The stories of their ancestors, the wars they fought, and the sacrifices they made. She hopes that by doing so, she can help ensure that their history doesn't fade away with time but continues to inspire future generations.
And when darkness falls, she snuggles close to Halsen beneath their shared blanket, grateful for his strength and leadership not just as a warrior but as her mate and friend. Together, they face whatever challenges the future may hold, their bond unbreakable in the unforgiving north.
The Pack Finally arrives north. Standing in the icy planes and cold homeland. Their home. Where their people came from, and now they are finally back
Humans had a few settlements here, and one City which served to act as the main point of interest. But they weren't able to spread to far despite having conquered the Wolfen in centuries ago. But now that they, the Wolfen, were back. They'd be able to reclaim their homeland for good.
After a bit of scouting for a place to settle. The Pack would choose what looked to be an ancient Wolfen Cave. Filled with all sorts of history for them, it be established as the new Temple of Uxthar for their Pack as they begun to establish themselves. Other Leaders would branch off from the Pack to form their own settlements. But Theirs, ruled by Halsen and Chika of Clan 'Winterblood', would be the dominant pack of any and all new Packs that form in their Homeland.
In a ceremony some months after they Established themselves. Halsen would be proclaimed Alpha Halsen Winterblood of the Wolfen. A grand feast would be prepared in his honour as the Wolfen People finally, had their King, and were free. But much work was still to be done as always
As she gazes out upon their new homeland, a sense of pride and purpose fills Chika's heart. The ancient cave they have chosen as their temple stands like a sentinel against the icy wind, its entrance flanked by massive stones carved with the faces of long-forgotten ancestors. She cannot help but feel grateful to Halsen for leading them here, for giving her the strength and courage she needed to face the hardships of their journey and reclaim their birthright.
With Halsen at her side, Chika knows that they can accomplish great things; together, they will build a kingdom strong enough to withstand any threat that dares challenge them. And as they watch their people begin to settle in around them, raising new villages and cities in the shadow of their ancient forebears, she feels a deep sense of contentment and hope for the future.
Sometime later. The two are relaxing closely and intimately in their Home, a far larger house denoting their rank as Rulers. With Halsen laying his head on Chika's lap as they relax together
"Do you ever think about having children, Halsen?" Chika asks softly, tracing circles on his chest with her fingers as she feels the warmth of his body against hers. Her voice holds a mixture of longing and uncertainty; the thought both excites her and fills her with trepidation. "I know it's a lot to ask of you, considering all you've been through... but I can't help but wonder what our children might be like."
Her eyes search his face for any hint of how he feels about the subject, wishing she could read his thoughts as easily as she can sense his emotions. A part of her hopes that they can share this experience together, bringing new life into their world and strengthening the bond between them even further. But another part of her fears that it might only serve to complicate their lives and pull them apart when they should be focusing on making their kingdom strong.
"What do you think?" she whispers, waiting for his response with bated breath.
"I have actually" I say with a smile "After all. Someone will need to Inherit the title, wouldn't they?" I say with a soft chuckle before asking her "Is my mate in Heat yet? Been a while since we've properly mated hasn't it?"
"Well..." Chika blushes slightly at Halsen's question before grinning impishly. "Perhaps it is time we reminded each other of our duties as mates, hmm?" She begins to stroke his chest more firmly now, her breath coming faster as she imagines what they might do together later that night. "Yes," she says with a sultry whisper, leaning in closer until their noses brush against each other's, "I think my body is indeed ready for you."
Her hand slides lower on his abdomen, her fingers digging into the defined muscle there as she teasingly inches closer to his growing arousal. A soft moan escapes her throat at the sensation of being so close to him, their bond burning hotter with each passing moment. She tilts her head back, arching her body toward his, ready for him to take what he wants.
I chuckle and take my hand to slowly unbutton her shirt as she creeps her hand closer to my length. It beginning to bulge in my pants now.
Slowly I'd unbutton her shirt and pull off the cloth she had wrapped around her breasts, then with a grin. I begin to lick at her nipple
A soft gasp escapes her as Halsen licks at her sensitive nipple, sending shivers down her spine. With a sultry groan, she arches her back further, pressing herself against him in search of more contact. Her hand continues its teasing journey, finally coming to rest on his erection through the fabric of his pants. She gives it a firm stroke, feeling the heat and strength beneath her fingers, and groans again at the sensation.
Her lips part as she watches Halsen's expression intently, hungry for him in every way. With another soft moan, she pushes her shirt off over her shoulders and discards it carelessly to the side, revealing her bare breasts to his view. Her nipples are already hard and erect from their previous touch, begging for more of his attention.
Her breath comes quick and hot against his face as she undoes his pants, freeing his massive length with a practiced move of her hand. She looks up at him through heavy-lidded eyes, her lips parted in anticipation. "Take me," she whispers hoarsely, arching her back again to offer herself to him completely.
With Halsen towering above her, Chika feels a surge of desire and power course through her veins. Their bodies are one; their souls intertwined. There is no denying the connection between them now, no question as to who they are or what they stand for. And with that knowledge burning bright within her, she eagerly awaits his claiming of her body once more.
The two get off the couch and strip naked. Chika takes her place on the floor, On her hands and knees, wiggling her rear slightly to Halsen. Halsen would then position himself behind Chika and begin to hump his erect length against Chika, bending over to her hair and neck, sniffing and kissing it "Mmm... your scent is strong this time... very strong" He'd say lustfully as his hands touched and kneaded her breasts
Chika moans softly at Halsen's touch, arching her back into his caresses as she feels him thrust against her. His words send a thrill of pleasure through her, intensifying the sensation of their skin on skin contact. Her breath comes faster now, her muscles tensing in anticipation of being claimed once more.
She can feel the warmth building between her legs, and with each firm stroke from Halsen's length against her, she grows wetter and needier. She yearns for him to fill her, to take their bond to a deeper level. Her hands reach back to grasp his hips, urging him on as she presses herself harder against him, desperate for the completion only he can give her.
With a low growl of pleasure and desire, Halsen finally positions himself at her entrance and thrusts hard, burying himself to the hilt in one powerful stroke. Chika's back arches further, her head thrown back as she cries out in ecstasy, her body trembling with the force of their union. Around them, the air crackles with heat and passion, as if the very fabric of reality is being woven anew by their lovemaking.
They move together now, Halsen's powerful strokes driving deeper into Chika with each passing moment. Her cries mingle with his growls, her body trembling with every impact as they race toward the crest of their shared release. The bond between them has never been stronger; a connection that defies time and space, forged in blood and lust.
The two of them would, as soon as Halsen thrusted his length into Chika, be completely lost in primal lust for each other. Hungrily and roughly. The two would mate and mate and mate. For Hours on end. Each time Halsen filled Chika up with his seed. It wasn't enough. They'd simply find a new position and continue to mate well into the early morning
And by the early morning. The two would finally be spent. Halsen's cock would still be buried in Chika's cum filled cunt of course. But together, in bed. The two would quietly rest
Her body aches with pleasure as Halsen's powerful thrusts drive deeper into her. Each impact sends shivers of delight through every inch of her skin, making it difficult to think of anything beyond this moment, this union. She wraps her legs around his waist, urging him on even as she feels the approach of release hovering just at the edge of consciousness.
Her breath comes in ragged gasps as their bodies move together in perfect rhythm. The world around them fades into the background, replaced by the intense focus of their lustful embrace. She can feel him tensing inside her, can sense the imminent release boiling up from deep within his core. With a keening cry, she arches her back and surrenders to the overwhelming sensation of climax that washes over her, their bond magnified a thousandfold by their shared ecstasy.
Her muscles tense and relax, pulsing rhythmically around Halsen as he follows close behind, his growl of pleasure vibrating against her ear. For what feels like an eternity, they remain locked together, their breath mingling, hearts racing in unison. It's only when exhaustion finally claims them both that they manage to drag themselves away from the brink and collapse into a blissful sleep.
Their limbs tangled, their skin still slick with sweat and each other's essence, they find solace in the warmth of the other's body. For now, at least for this moment, they are content to rest, secure in the knowledge that tomorrow will bring new challenges, new adventures...and perhaps more nights like this one.
Over the next six months, Chika and Halsen would mate quite reguarly, even outside of Chika's heat cycle. After they find out that Chika is, infact, now pregnant. That doesn't really stop them from mating at least once a week.
As for the Wolfen people themselves. Through a few raids and skirmishes. The Many packs led by Halsen would slowly push back the Northern Human realms. Infact the creation of a Wolfen 'Kingdom' sparks similar rebellions from other Demi-Humans. Centaurs are one of the first infact, though they were one of the few races to avoid being totally conquered. Then there were the Naga's. Who were Snakelike Demi-humans with a humanlike upperbody but snakelike tail, They were leading Religious Slave uprisings dedicated to their Naga god 'Malifico' against the Human Jungle realms. Harpies, Birdlike Demi-humans who often worked closely with the Centaurs, and also joined several Wolfen Packs as allies (Something Helsan encuraged), and of course, the Rabbik. Rabbit Demi-Humans, the Most Numerous of the Demi-Humans and had begun to carve their own Hollows across the rapidly collapsing Human Empire of Aruk (Empire of Aruk).
Otherwise. Things were going well for the Wolfen Packs and Kingdom as a whole
As Chika watches Halsen's body move over hers in their post-coital slumber, she can't help but feel a deep sense of contentment and pride. Their bond is unbreakable; stronger than any force that could hope to come between them. And now that they are expecting a child, that bond will only grow deeper and more complex. She smiles softly as she runs her fingers through the dark fur on his chest, marveling at how far they've come together.
She thinks about their people and all that they have accomplished so far. There is still much work to be done, of course - rebuilding their culture, healing ancient wounds, forging alliances with other demi-human races. But with Halsen by her side, she knows that they can face any challenge head on. And when the child comes, it will only strengthen their position further.
For now, though, there is no hurry. They have all the time in the world to make sure their child grows strong and healthy. Together, they can shape the future of not just one pack or kingdom but an entire race. And as she drifts off to sleep once more, Chika finds herself grateful for this journey, for her mate...and for their child.
As they enjoy their life Home. Halsen would cheekily go behind his topless mate in the kitchen, standing behind her and sofly grabbing, then rubbing her pregnant belly from behind
"Good day Love. How's my mate doing?"
He'd ask with a smile before kissing Chika "How many Pups do you think we'll have?" Halsen questions Chika as his hands slide up to her lactating breasts and cups them softly
"Hmmm... I don't know," she murmurs with a contented sigh, leaning back into his touch. "It's hard to tell. Maybe three or four." Her words are laced with desire as her hips shift instinctively against his hands, pressing her breasts closer to his grasp. She glances over her shoulder at him, their eyes locking for a moment before returning to the task of making dinner. "We should probably ask the midwife when she comes by next."
His fingers tracing lazy circles around her nipples send shivers of anticipation through her body. She bites back a moan, not wanting to draw attention to their playful banter. But as his touch grows more insistent, it becomes harder and harder to resist the pull of their passion.
"I think we should save that question for later," she whispers, arching her back so that he can reach her nipples more easily with his thumbs. "Right now, I'd rather concentrate on other things." With a mischievous smile, she plants a kiss at the nape of his neck before slowly turning in his embrace, presenting herself fully to him.
Her eyes are hooded with desire as she watches his reaction to her offer, and a hot thrill of anticipation courses through her veins. He's so big and strong, so dominant...it's intoxicating. She can feel the power that flows between them, binding them together in a way no words ever could. With a soft moan, she presses herself closer, offering herself to him once more.
I chuckle as I tease her nipples with my hands. Fondling and touching then gently while the bulge in my pants continues to rub against her rear. My tail wagging lustfully as we 'play' "I love it when my Mate walks around topless" I say with a chuckle as I tease her breasts "Just so... freeing"
Chika smiles shyly, her cheeks flushing with pleasure as Halsen teases her breasts and rubs against her rear. "Well, I suppose it's for your eyes only," she says with a sultry laugh, arching her back to give him better access to her sensitive nipples. "And what about you? Do you think our mate will mind sharing their King?" She glances down at his obvious arousal, her heart racing with anticipation.
Her fingers slide between them, teasing the fabric of his pants as she begins to tug gently on the bulge beneath. The thought of having him so close yet not being able to fully claim what's hers only serves to inflame her desire even further. Her body aches with need, and she longs for him to fill her once more.
