It seems to have worked. Seeing that you're no longer trying to resist, the wolf retreats a meter, satisfied with his victory.

Goosebumps run across your back from these touches.</span> <img src="images/enemy/wolf/doggy_2.png" class="scene-img"> <span class="passage-text">When he gently pushes you forward, you fall to all fours. The predator licks your anus several times. Without wasting a second, the wolf mounts you, positioning himself behind you. His warm fur tickles your back. You find his muzzle at your right ear as he licks it several times, as if trying to calm you down. And for good reason. The next moment, you feel that same red rocket, which you had been bashfully examining between the wolf's hind legs a moment ago, press against your ass. Now it seems to you that this thing is much larger than you imagined. As soon as you tried to move away, you heard an insistent growl near your right ear, and his front paws gripped your sides tighter.</span> <img src="images/enemy/wolf/doggy_3.png" class="scene-img"> <span class="passage-text">You closed your eyes and clenched your teeth as his cock found its mark. The wolf growled gutturally, pushing against the tightness of your insides. He wasn't too rough, but the force of his thrusts was enough to remind you who had won the fight. Your anal walls instinctively clenched, giving the wolf even more pleasure. As a reward, he gave you a few seconds to adjust before he started thrusting. The beast lolled his tongue in pleasure, showering your neck with quick, warm breaths. Every time his knot slapped against your ass, you moaned softly. At one point, you almost reached for your own penis, earning a light bite on your neck. The wolf wasn't about to let you have too much pleasure, and you were forced to obey.</span> <img src="images/enemy/wolf/doggy_4.png" class="scene-img"> <span class="passage-text">Sensing you could take more, the beast let go, thrusting his cock into you at a mind-boggling speed. At first you grit your teeth and tense up, but you quickly realize that it will only hurt more and make things more pleasant for the wolf, so you desperately try to relax as the wolf's hips resolutely try to force the base of his cock inside. After a few minutes, he finally succeeds. With particularly strong thrust, he finally pushes his knot into your ass, accompanied by a victorious roar. You, on the other hand, whimper as you feel that hard hammer nearly tear you apart, growing even larger inside you. Your inner walls squeeze the wolf's cock so tightly that the beast can barely move inside you, despite his best efforts.</span> <img src="images/enemy/wolf/doggy_5.png" class="scene-img"> <span class="passage-text">Gasping for air, you feel his balls begin to throb against your ass, just like his cock inside you.

This time, no one stops you, so after just a few quick movements, you moan loudly, cumming right on the ground. The wolf just rolled his eyes, feeling you clench your anus even harder. Satisfied with the result, the wolf dismounts you, but you remain tied up for a while. Only after ten minutes do you feel his penis leave the pleasant confines of your insides with a loud pop. The beast quickly cleans himself, then leaves you alone in a rather unpresentable position. Although other predators would likely disagree. Not wanting to test this theory, you quickly dry yourself off as best you can and quickly dress to continue on your way.</span> <<include "Defeat_Core">> <</if>>

Stopping right behind you, it sniffs you, occasionally brushing its wet nose against your skin. Goosebumps run across your back from these touches. The beast pushed you forward, forcing you to fall onto all fours, but contrary to your expectations, he didn't jump on top. Instead, he stopped right in front of your face, which was now level with him. He stood slightly sideways, giving you an excellent view of his hard, red member with its impressive knot at the base.</span> <img src="images/enemy/wolf/good_human_2.png" class="scene-img"> <span class="passage-text">Thinking you should do something, you slowly move your hand toward his belly, watching the beast's reaction. He watches your actions closely, but doesn't stop you. Your palm touches his thick gray fur, feeling the warmth of his body. He growls contentedly, signaling that you're doing everything right. After a few gentle strokes, your hand moves further, skirting his erection. Finally, your fingers find his balls. You think he purrs softly as you stroke him there. The wolf's penis twitches slightly, and a cloudy fluid occasionally oozes from its head. The delicious sight and smell compel you to take the initiative before you're forced to. You lean down so that your lips almost touch the reddish flesh. After a few seconds of deliberation, your tongue is already exploring the length. You've never done anything like this before, so, forgetting about the shameful defeat in the battle, you decide to give yourself completely to the process.</span> <video src="images/enemy/wolf/good_human_3.mp4" autoplay loop muted playsinline class="scene-img"> </video> <span class="passage-text">The wolf restrains himself as best he can, but still twitches his hips slightly in anticipation of what's to come. You decide not to torment either him or yourself, so the next moment your lips are wrapped around the warm flesh, tasting a strange taste on your still-lost tongue. This time, the beast couldn't maintain control and instinctively thrust deeper, forcing more wolf meat into your mouth. You try to accommodate him, not forgetting to continue stroking his balls with one hand.</span> <img src="images/enemy/wolf/good_human_4.png" class="scene-img"> <span class="passage-text">You never thought you'd suck a wolf's cock, but that's exactly what you're doing now, completely surrendering to the process. Surprisingly, the wolf himself is in no hurry to mount you and simply fuck your mouth with all his might. He enjoys your work almost calmly, only occasionally thrusting deeper, hoping that you will finally give his cock the tightness of your throat. However, he soon comes up with another idea. When you've relaxed a little, his cock leaves your mouth, almost upsetting you. The wolf insistently pushes his front paws into your shoulders until you lie on your back, obeying his urges. The beast immediately positions himself above you, his hips directly above your face. Realizing what he wants from you, you open your mouth again, which the next moment is filled to the brim again. This time, you are forced to endure rougher thrusts, during which the tip of his cock touches the entrance to your throat. However, the wolf seems to have appreciated your efforts a moment earlier, and you feel his wet tongue between your legs. The predator almost tenderly licks your cock, enveloping it in his mouth. You tried to moan, but at that moment your throat was finally blocked, causing the wolf to growl contentedly.</span> <img src="images/enemy/wolf/good_human_5.png" class="scene-img"> <span class="passage-text">With each passing minute, the beast thrusts more insistently into your throat, increasing the pace. You gag, but don't try to pull away, knowing it's futile. At least your own cock is already occupied by the predatory maw, which continues to move, giving you well-deserved pleasure as compensation. You dread to imagine what would happen if the wolf decided to knot you. But despite your desire to do just that, he decides to take pity on you, given your enthusiasm for pleasuring the victor of the fight. Your throat is literally pounded when you finally feel the enormous knot pressing against your lips, but it doesn't push any further. In gratitude, you stroke the wolf's throbbing balls again as he cums deep in your throat.</span> <img src="images/enemy/wolf/good_human_6.png" class="scene-img"> <span class="passage-text">Swallowing the wolf's delicious seed, you feel yourself cumming on his tongue. The wolf licks up every drop, then waits for his own orgasm to end and pulls his cock out of your mouth.

Yet, his growing arousal forces his own cock to emerge from its sheath, bringing a smile to your face.

He makes sounds that are a mixture of growling and whining, but remains submissively still. You're almost certain the wolf has even begun to fuck back in time with your movements. At the same time, you revel in the warmth of his insides, which are clearly hotter than a human's.</span> <img src="images/enemy/wolf/good_boy_4.png" class="scene-img"> <span class="passage-text">You increase the tempo of your movements, quickly fucking the wolf's ass.

He makes no attempt to escape, as if expecting you to punish him for the attack. Noticing your hesitation, the beast rises to all fours again, turns his back to you, and raises his tail, demonstrating his readiness to satisfy your desire. You accept the offer, but on your own terms. Having stripped off your clothes, you beckoned the wolf to you. He didn't immediately understand what was wanted of it, but as soon as you brought your penis to his muzzle, the answer came naturally. His fluffy tail wagged at the enticing scent that hit his nose. His wet, warm tongue licked your length several times, tasting the tip and base with increasing boldness.</span> <img src="images/enemy/wolf/treat_1.png" class="scene-img"> <span class="passage-text">Fully hard, you move your saliva-slicked cock across the wolf's lips. The next moment, the mouth opens wide, revealing a row of sharp teeth. For some reason, you become even more aroused and place your hard instrument directly on the outstretched tongue. The wolf is quite pleased with this movement, so he carefully closes his mouth around your dick, for which he is immediately rewarded with a moan from your lips.</span> <img src="images/enemy/wolf/treat_2.png" class="scene-img"> <span class="passage-text">You slowly thrust deeper into the predatory mouth a few times, careful not to touch the teeth. The wolf moved his tongue along your length, guiding you in the only right direction. This unusual blowjob was already bringing considerable pleasure, but when the head of your penis entered the beast's throat, you instinctively grabbed the back of his head and pushed even deeper.</span> <img src="images/enemy/wolf/treat_3.png" class="scene-img"> <span class="passage-text">The wolf gagged and growled, but your gaze alone was enough to remind him how your battle had ended a few minutes earlier. Agreeing with this argument, the predator decided to endure a little humiliation, swallowing repeatedly around your cock. The feeling of his throat constricting almost made you cum, but you hadn't planned on finishing so soon. Pulling back slightly, you allowed the wolf to catch his breath, sliding your cock over his tongue a few times.</span> <img src="images/enemy/wolf/treat_4.png" class="scene-img"> <span class="passage-text">Then, without warning, you thrust forward again, penetrating even deeper into his tight throat. The warm walls milked your cock as you fucked the wolf's muzzle, gradually approaching climax. Sometimes you withdrew from his throat, giving your partner a brief respite. Other times, on the contrary, you lingered deep inside, enjoying the quiet whimpers, during which you felt a gentle vibration around your cock. Feeling your climax approaching, you thrust hard one last time, burying your cock as deep as possible in the wolf's throat. Even your balls ended up in his mouth as the beast began to choke on your cum. You held the wolf in place for a moment, and he obediently swallowed your cum. Halfway out, a few more ropes fell onto his tongue before your cock finally left his warm mouth. The wolf showed off the fruits of your labor, then swallowed the rest and hurried away.</span> <img src="images/enemy/wolf/treat_5.png" class="scene-img"> <<include "Victory_Core">> <</if>> <<silently>><<if $quests.nalaHunt and $quests.nalaHunt.status is "active">> <<if $combat.enemyId is "wolf" or $combat.enemyId is "she_wolf">> <<set $quests.nalaHunt.progress.wolves += 1>> <</if>> <<if $combat.enemyId is "snake">> <<set $quests.nalaHunt.progress.snakes += 1>> <</if>> <</if>><</silently>>\

You decide not to risk it any further, laying down your weapons and raising your hands in a placating gesture, hoping the reptile will recognize your signal. It seems to be working. The snake no longer intends to attack. In fact, she's desperately trying to crawl under your clothes. Not wanting to experience the venom if you refuse, you decide to play along, slowly undressing in the middle of the forest. The snake seems very pleased with your choice. As soon as your skin is no longer protected by a layer of fabric, she wraps herself around your leg. You lose your balance and fall backward. The stream of curses from your mouth quickly turns to a surprised groan as the snake, still wrapped around your leg, reaches your penis.</span> <img src="images/enemy/snake/dinner_time_1.png" class="scene-img"> <span class="passage-text">The reptile acts as if she's holding the finest delicacy in the world right in front of her. Her scales slide between your legs, deliberately brushing against your balls, causing your length to harden faster and faster. Her forked tongue touches the tip several times, tickling it and making you clench your teeth. At one point, the snake demonstratively opens her maw, revealing long fangs and inviting pink walls dripping with saliva. You burn with anticipation when you finally feel your cock being swallowed in one motion.</span> <img src="images/enemy/snake/dinner_time_2.png" class="scene-img"> <span class="passage-text">With titanic effort, you hold back a cry from the unprecedented sensations. The snake's mouth is cool, but the tightness with which its muscles squeeze your cock drives you wild. The reptile seems very pleased with your reaction and rewards you with rhythmic swallowing movements that almost make you cum right away. As if sensing this, the snake moves away a little, leaving only its tip in her mouth. This time, her scaly body coils around the base of your penis before beginning to move up and down. Her mouth continues to suck on the tip, occasionally pushing more of your length inside. You don't know why the snake decided to toy with her prey like this. In any case, you're not going to complain.</span> <img src="images/enemy/snake/dinner_time_3.png" class="scene-img"> <span class="passage-text">A few minutes later, the reptile deepthroats your penis again, trying to take in as much of your flesh as possible. You can no longer hold back your moans as you feel her scaly nose brush against your lower abdomen. Sometimes she lingers in this position, massaging your penis with her throat muscles. Watching this spectacle, you clearly notice the bulges on her neck, right where your organ is buried. This is the last straw, and you can no longer delay your orgasm. Your palms grip the ground as the first stream of cum erupts deep into the snake's greedy throat. She opens her mouth as wide as possible to fully impale herself on your cock. Without even thinking about retreating, she squeezes her muscles tightly, bringing you so much pleasure that you almost lose consciousness. When you've been milked dry, the snake finally pulls away, revealing the cum she hasn't yet swallowed.</span> <img src="images/enemy/snake/dinner_time_4.png" class="scene-img"> <div class="dialogue char-player">"Enjoy your meal."</div> <span class="passage-text">The reptile finally finishes her dinner and then leaves you.

You hold the snake in your hand, preventing her from escaping. However, she doesn't even try, hanging limply in your arms. While you're wondering what to do with her, your fingers accidentally brush against the particularly delicate scales near the reptile's tail. She hisses softly, but doesn't attempt to bite you again. After carefully examining the area, an idea occurs to you of how to extract compensation from the snake for her attack. Even when you placed it on the ground and began to undress, the scaly creature made no attempt to escape, patiently observing your actions. When you're ready to move on to the most interesting part, you carefully grasp the snake's tail again, testing its reaction. Once again reassured that your partner isn't aggressive, you stroke the snake's cloaca for a few seconds before inserting one, then two, fingers. The tightness of the inner walls compensates for the lack of heat, and you're already eager to feel them around your cock. First, however, you gently explore the cloaca with your fingers, preparing it for the next step. Finally, you withdraw your fingers, watching as the stretched cloaca tries to return to its original position. Without wasting any time, you bring the snake to your penis and then slowly insert it. The snake hisses and wriggles slightly in your hands, but offers no significant resistance. Its vertical pupils stare directly into yours as you finally fully insert your penis.</span> <img src="images/enemy/snake/win_1.png" class="scene-img"> <span class="passage-text">Either instinctively or deliberately, the reptile contracts her cloacal muscles, eliciting a few moans from you. You begin to slowly thrust inside her. Your penis is clearly visible inside the snake due to the bulges on her body. This mesmerizing image only adds fuel to the fire, forcing you to penetrate to the limit every time. After a few minutes of fucking the snake's cloaca, you decide to speed up. Your hand grasps the scaly body right where your penis is buried. You begin to move your hand, quickly and forcefully impaling the snake, as if she was a living condom. The reptile hisses and contracts her muscles so hard that it becomes difficult for you to move, but this way you quickly approach climax.</span> <img src="images/enemy/snake/win_2.png" class="scene-img"> <span class="passage-text">A few more thrusts, and you are once again fully immersed in the snake's tight body, pumping her with your sperm.

Cynder instinctively swallowed, squeezing your tip tightly with the walls of her throat. This time, you couldn't hold back. Holding her head in place with one hand, you thrust deeper without warning, until your balls touched her chin.</span> <div class="dialogue char-cinder">"Grlk!"</div> <span class="passage-text">was all Cinder could manage as she gagged.

This time, she moved almost immediately, until you felt the hot walls of her throat again. You threw your head back in pleasure as she began swallowing.

I'm... going..."</div> <span class="passage-text">The dragoness understood instantly and leaned forward, taking your cock as deep as possible into her throat. Even though she had no intention of pulling away, you held her head down just in case, considering it a crime not to cum inside her. Cynder greedily swallowed your seed, as if she'd gone days without food or water. You couldn't remember the last time you came so hard. When the stream had completely dried up, Cynder swallowed one last time, then pulled away, licking her lips.</span> <img src="images/NPC/Cynder/lewd/reward_7.png" class="scene-img"> <div class="dialogue char-cinder">"Delicious,"</div> <span class="passage-text">she said, licking the remaining drops from the tip of your penis.</span> <div class="dialogue char-player">"Cynder...

The defeated wolves hastily retreated, allowing you to safely explore their den. Despite the den being quite deep and spacious, the dragoness acted as if she'd been here many times before.

It was a dragonscale necklace, slightly charred and worn.</span> <div class="dialogue char-cinder">"These are scales from my ancestors.

Wait!"</div> <span class="passage-text">Cynder, not expecting this turn of events, wanted to hurry after you, but two wolves blocked her path. Your plan worked. For some reason, the predators weren't particularly interested in you. Their attention was completely focused on the young dragoness as you quickly slipped into their den. While you were searching for the necessary item, not exactly in a hurry, the wolves were already circling the dragoness you'd offered them.</span> <div class="dialogue char-cinder">"Damn!"</div> <span class="passage-text">Cynder cursed, knowing she couldn't hold her own against two opponents at once. Moreover, she knew perfectly well how she'd have to "distract" them. </span><div class="dialogue char-cinder">"Okay, okay. Sorry I haven't been here in a while. Just... go easy on me..."</div> <span class="passage-text">The wolves grinned contentedly, accepting the dragoness's submission. They immediately approached, sniffing their prey from all sides. One of them paid particular attention to the underside of Cynder's tail, causing her to wince. She'd already guessed the beasts weren't going to heed her request to go easy. You paused your search for a second, looking outside to make sure Cynder was accomplishing her task. It seemed she was. One of the wolves had already pounced on her from behind, trying to thrust his length into her. The second predator wasn't about to wait his turn. Instead, he approached the dragoness's head, then stood on his hind legs, grasping her head with his forepaws. One movement, and Cynder's muzzle was already pressed against the wolf's cock. Precum was smeared across her nose. When the wolf from behind finally entered, the dragoness wanted to scream at the sudden movement, but her mouth was immediately occupied by another cock. Cynder's eyes widened as the beasts began to move wildly, giving her no time to adjust. You felt your clothes become too tight below the waist, so with great effort you tore yourself away from the spectacle, trying to find the necklace before Cynder was filled with cum.</span> <img src="images/NPC/Cynder/lewd/trio_1.png" class="scene-img"> <span class="passage-text">Meanwhile, the dragoness continued to act as a sex toy for the two young wolves. One of them fucked Cynder from behind, breathing heavily. The other pounded her tight throat. The knot at the base of his cock slammed right into the dragoness's nose, preventing her from breathing normally. The wolves growled with pleasure, never slowing their pace. It was as if they were punishing her for something. For the fact that Cynder hadn't visited them in a while... Your hand finally found the treasured object among the mud and tree roots. You hurried toward the exit, but not to leave this lair. Noticing that you'd arrived just in time for the most exciting part of the show, your hand reached for your own hardening penis... By this point, Cynder wasn't even trying to hide her pleasure, though she still hadn't adapted to the frantic pace of her partners. So instead of moans, all that was heard were the sounds of her gags and the slapping of the knot and balls against the dragoness's thighs. Cynder realized too late that the beasts would go all the way. As the wolf's knot was pushed inside her from behind, the dragoness was about to protest, but the moment she reflexively opened her mouth a little wider proved a mistake. The second knot immediately found itself between her jaws, lodged behind her teeth. Cynder could only choke on the thick sperm flowing deep into her throat as she was inseminated from both sides.</span> <img src="images/NPC/Cynder/lewd/trio_2.png" class="scene-img"> <span class="passage-text">You didn't even notice how you were approaching climax and came copiously on the ground at the entrance to the den. After waiting for the wolves to release your companion and leave, you finally headed toward her, pretending to have just found the necklace. Along the way, you couldn't help but notice how hot Cinder looked, covered in cum all over.</span> <img src="images/NPC/Cynder/lewd/trio_3.png" class="scene-img"> <div class="dialogue char-player">"I see you did a great job.

Let's go quickly, before those woolen rugs lick their wounds and come back."</div> <span class="passage-text">Cynder was clearly very grateful to you, though she didn't show it openly. You decided not to waste time and set out to find the lost item. Despite the den being quite deep and spacious, the dragoness acted as if she'd been here many times before. Just a couple of minutes later, she found the lost item and showed it to you. It was a dragonscale necklace, slightly charred and worn.</span> <div class="dialogue char-cinder">"These are scales from my ancestors.

<span class="passage-text">On the way to the village, you detoured slightly, going down to the river, where Cynder was able to clean up the mess the wolves had left. You spent the rest of the journey in silence. Only at the dragoness's door did you hint that you were expecting a reward for helping you find the necklace.</span> <div class="dialogue char-player">"Well, the job is done."</div> <span class="passage-text">Cynder wanted to snap back, but at the last moment, for some reason, she changed her mind. After all, you really did what she asked. As for your methods... After all, the dragoness was partly to blame for not visiting her forest friends for so long. Taking a deep breath, she said,</span> <div class="dialogue char-cinder">"Come back later for your reward. I need some rest."</div> <span class="passage-text">You decided not to insist and return home.</span> <<set $quests.cyndersq.stage = 1>>\ <<link "<span class='passage-link'>Return home</span>">> <<goto "Home">> <</link>> <<removeclass "body" "bg-forest-2">>\ <<addclass "body" "bg-village">>\ <<if not $flags.relgained>>\ <<addRel "cinder" -3>>\ <<set $flags.relgained = true>>\ <</if>>

<span class="passage-text">As you walked through the forest, you considered Cynder's overly confident demeanor while searching for the item. She knew exactly where she'd lost it, and it was clearly not the first time she'd seen those wolves and their den. You weren't shy about satisfying your curiosity and asked her directly.</span> <div class="dialogue char-cinder">"So, you noticed?"</div> <span class="passage-text">the dragoness smirked.</span> <div class="dialogue char-cinder">"Well, since you've helped me out so much...

<span class="passage-text">As you approached Cynder's house, you caught a glimpse of her face in one of the windows. However, she disappeared almost immediately, causing you to quicken your pace.

Upon reaching this room, your heart sank and your breath caught at the sight before you. The dragoness lay on her side on the bed, her tail slightly tilted to the side as if on purpose.

Cynder watched your actions with equal interest, slowly rolling over onto her back.</span> <img src="images/NPC/Cynder/lewd/good_girl_2.png" class="scene-img"> <span class="passage-text">The sight before you was simply mind-blowing. You were already shamelessly staring at the dragon's private parts, trying to figure out what you'd have to work with. Apparently, her anatomy was somewhat different from a human's. Her pussy was more like a vertical cloaca, but it didn't lose its allure. A little lower, your gaze lingered on her occasionally pulsating tail hole, but this time, you decided not to focus on it. Once you were completely naked, Cynder's silent nod prompted you to climb onto the bed, positioning yourself between her spread hind legs. Now you could finally touch her much-desired body, satisfying your curiosity. You slowly stroked the scales on her chest and stomach.</span> <img src="images/NPC/Cynder/lewd/good_girl_3.png" class="scene-img"> <div class="dialogue char-player">"You're beautiful, Cynder,"</div> <span class="passage-text">you commented, leaning down and kissing the dragoness on the lips. As your tongues mingled, your hand slid lower down her body, stroking the sensitive scales between her legs. The dragoness closed her eyes and moaned into your mouth.</span> <div class="dialogue char-cinder">"Stop teasing me,"</div> <span class="passage-text">Cynder said when you finally broke the kiss.</span> <div class="dialogue char-cinder">"Take what you deserved."</div> <span class="passage-text">You smiled widely before shifting your weight back slightly. Your rock-hard cock pressed directly against her pussy. Slowly, you began to insert it inside, while the dragoness moaned softly, watching your length disappear inside her. With every inch, you felt her inner muscles contract around you. When you were fully inside, Cynder's eyes rolled back in pleasure, her front paws clutching the sheets beneath her.</span> <div class="dialogue char-player">"Oh, my god! You're something else!"</div> <span class="passage-text">you said admiringly before kissing her again. You began moving slowly, gently stroking her sides, paws, and even her wings. Your lips explored Cynder's neck. The scales there weren't as hard as you'd expected, so you nibbled them occasionally in time with the movements of your hips. Cynder clearly hadn't expected such effort from you when she invited you into the bedroom. The combination of your caresses and kisses provoked an unprecedented storm of emotion from the dragoness. Finally, she couldn't bear it any longer and began moaning loudly every time you thrust your cock all the way inside her.</span> <video src="images/NPC/Cynder/lewd/good_girl_5.mp4" autoplay loop muted playsinline class="scene-img"> </video> <div class="dialogue char-player">"That's it. No need to hold back,"</div> <span class="passage-text">you whispered before locking her in another deep kiss. Cynder was so immersed in the mating process that she was very surprised when you suddenly pulled out. Noticing her indignant look, you smiled broadly and explained, stroking her pussy with your fingers:</span> <div class="dialogue char-player">"I think we can move on to the next step."</div> <span class="passage-text">You leaned forward again, hovering over the dragoness. Your fingers parted the soft walls of her pussy before thrusting sharply inside.</span> <div class="dialogue char-player">"Oh, yes!"</div> <span class="passage-text">The sudden and forceful intrusion caused Cynder's inner walls to spasm so tightly that you could barely move inside her. Nevertheless, you began to thrust harder and harder, reveling in the warmth of the dragon's body. She stuck her tongue out in pleasure, allowing you to fuck her as you pleased.</span> <div class="dialogue char-player">"You're absolutely amazing!"</div> <span class="passage-text">you growled.</span> <div class="dialogue char-player">"I'm going to cum soon!"</div> <div class="dialogue char-cinder">"Inside! Please!"</div> <span class="passage-text">Cynder managed to cry out between a stream of continuous moans. For a while, you continued to thrust into the dragoness's tight pussy, wanting these moments to last as long as possible. Suddenly, however, you felt Cynder's body tremble beneath you. The flesh around your cock began to contract rhythmically, massaging your member. Her orgasm compelled you to follow suit immediately.</span> <img src="images/NPC/Cynder/lewd/good_girl_6.png" class="scene-img"> <span class="passage-text">You grabbed the dragoness by her hind legs and thrust into her as deeply as possible. The first stream of your seed erupted deep inside Cynder, who was gasping for breath. She continued to arch and tremble, milking your cock for every last drop. Having emptied your balls, you were in no hurry to leave the warmth of her body. Instead, you couldn't resist kissing the dragoness again, then said,</span> <div class="dialogue char-player">"I must admit, you certainly know how to reward."</div> <div class="dialogue char-cinder">"I'm sure you tried much harder than me, <<= $playerName >>,"</div> <span class="passage-text">Cynder said, catching her breath.</span> <div class="dialogue char-cinder">"Thank you."</div> <span class="passage-text">Finally, you found the strength to pull yourself out of her body and rise to your feet.

You'd completed the task, so now you had every right to a reward.</span> <div class="dialogue char-player">"You're so tight!"</div> <span class="passage-text">you exclaimed as your balls slammed against the dragon's ass once again, your cock fully inserted. Cynder said nothing, clenching her teeth and squeezing her eyes shut. She should have specified the reward beforehand, so she wouldn't end up in this situation. Or... Did she hate it less than she pretended? The answer came when you began thrusting even harder. A soft moan escaped the dragon's lips, not going unnoticed.</span> <div class="dialogue char-player">"Well, well, well. I see you're enjoying it just as much,"</div> <span class="passage-text">you smirked, starting to pound Cynder's ass without holding back for a second.</span> <img src="images/NPC/Cynder/lewd/bad_girl_4.png" class="scene-img"> <span class="passage-text">Instead of a response, another contraction of her inner walls followed. The dragoness tried to relax, allowing the pain to finally give way to pleasure, but your comments continually made her instinctively shudder, contracting her anal muscles. Clearly, this was exactly the effect you were aiming for. Feeling your climax approaching, you decided to change your tactics slightly. You pressed on Cynder's hips and back until she fell onto her stomach, then abruptly flipped her over, keeping your cock in her tailhole. The dragoness cried out, but didn't try to resist, allowing you complete control. You continued to thrust your cock into the dragon's tight body, eliciting quiet sobs from Cynder herself.</span> <img src="images/NPC/Cynder/lewd/bad_girl_5.png" class="scene-img"> <div class="dialogue char-player">"Just don't hold back. Scream, Cynder, scream while I fuck your ass hard!"</div> <span class="passage-text">That was enough to turn her timid moans into loud cries. As a reward for the obedience, you pounded her tailhole like a jackhammer. Before you came, you licked two fingers and then inserted them into the dragon's pussy, never ceasing to move. Cynder came instantly, coating your fingers with her internal fluids. The muscles of her anus spasmed around your cock, forcing you to follow suit.</span> <div class="dialogue char-player">"That's it! Squeeze your ass while I pump you full of human cum, baby!"</div> <img src="images/NPC/Cynder/lewd/bad_girl_6.png" class="scene-img"> <span class="passage-text">You continued to thrust into the dragoness beneath you until your cock stopped erupting inside her. Only then did you pull out, smearing the remaining few drops across her slit.</span> <div class="dialogue char-player">"Well, I'm pleased with the reward. Although I expected a more verbose response from you during the process. Perhaps next time you'll work on your mistakes. See you later."</div> <span class="passage-text">As you dressed, you watched Cynder recover from such an intense encounter, breathing heavily.

The enormous bed seemed big enough for about half a dozen people, though by your calculations, the lioness clearly lived there alone.</span> <div class="dialogue char-nala">"Take off your clothes and jump in,"</div> <span class="passage-text">Nala purred.</span> <div class="dialogue char-nala">"I'd help, but I'm afraid my claws might scratch the fabric."</div> <span class="passage-text">Approving of this plan, you began to remove all your clothes, noticing out of the corner of your eye how the lioness was eyeing your body with anticipation. Once your skin was no longer protected, you began the second part of the plan, jumping onto the bed and lying on your back. Nala immediately hurried to join you.</span> <div class="dialogue char-nala">"I must admit, you look very attractive,"</div> <span class="passage-text">the lioness said, settling between your legs.</span> <img src="images/NPC/Nala/lewd/sit_down_1.png" class="scene-img"> <span class="passage-text">She ran her paw pads over your stomach and legs, brushing your balls several times. Her gaze shifted from your penis to your face, testing your reaction.

I'll show you how much I appreciate those who help me."</div> <img src="images/NPC/Nala/lewd/sit_down_2.png" class="scene-img"> <span class="passage-text">You were practically shaking with anticipation. Nevertheless, you tried to relax your muscles, admiring the lion's body. Luckily, you wouldn't just be looking at it. Meanwhile, Nala began moving back and forth, brushing her pussy against your cock. These mutual strokes allowed you to feel how wet she was.</span> <div class="dialogue char-nala">"You're so hard,"</div> <span class="passage-text">Nala commented, teasing you some more. Finally, she rose slightly, finding the right angle, and then, painfully slowly, impaled herself on your length. The lioness purred louder with every millimeter disappearing into her warm pussy. When you were fully immersed, Nala bared her teeth and squeezed her inner walls several times. You nearly passed out with pleasure, shouting compliments at the lioness.</span> <img src="images/NPC/Nala/lewd/sit_down_3.png" class="scene-img"> <div class="dialogue char-nala">"Just don't cum too quickly,"</div> <span class="passage-text">Nala whispered, experiencing no less pleasure.</span> <div class="dialogue char-nala">"You're so big that I want to play with you as long as possible."</div> <span class="passage-text">Hearing that your goals were aligned, you tried to pull yourself together and calm down. This proved difficult enough with your cock tightly squeezed by warm, wet walls. Feeling you coming to your senses, Nala began to slowly move on your length. She enjoyed watching the man beneath her gasp with pleasure. From time to time, she would speed up, bouncing on your dick. But as soon as she noticed the first signs of you approaching climax, she would immediately slow down. You wanted to protest, but instead of words, only moans escaped your lips as Nala, in compensation, began tickling the skin of your chest and stomach with the claws on her front paws. As if hypnotized, you calmed down, and the lioness picked up the pace again.</span> <img src="images/NPC/Nala/lewd/sit_down_4.png" class="scene-img"> <span class="passage-text">After all, she herself had been close to cumming more than once. And each time, it became more and more difficult to hold back.</span> <div class="dialogue char-nala">"Just a little longer. Be ready to cum with me!"</div> <span class="passage-text">Realizing that she wanted you to spill inside, you decided to allow yourself some leeway. You grabbed Nala by the hips and began to bounce her, thrusting as deeply as possible. Each time, the head of your cock touched her cervix, causing the lioness to moan loudly. You couldn't hold out any longer.</span> <div class="dialogue char-player">"Nala! I'm ready!"</div> <span class="passage-text">was all you managed to scream.</span> <div class="dialogue char-nala">"Then fill me with your seed!"</div> <span class="passage-text">You didn't need more. You impaled this lioness one last time, pumping her full of cum. The pulsing of your cock in her pussy made Nala cum right after, milking you dry. She was so carried away that she even accidentally dug her claws into the skin of your chest. For some reason, this made you cum even more freely.</span> <img src="images/NPC/Nala/lewd/sit_down_5.png" class="scene-img"> <span class="passage-text">For about a minute, neither of you dared to change positions. Finally, Nala released your length. Some of your seed dripped from her pussy.</span> <div class="dialogue char-nala">"I don't often get this carried away,"</div> <span class="passage-text">the lioness said, catching her breath, her gaze fixed on the shallow scratches on your chest.</span> <div class="dialogue char-nala">"Sorry about that. You're just really good."</div> <div class="dialogue char-player">"Oh, that's nothing,"</div> <span class="passage-text">you dismissed.</span> <div class="dialogue char-player">"A small price to pay for such amazing sex.

Well, your scent will be too obvious anyway."</div> <span class="passage-text">You decided not to keep the village chief any longer than necessary, so you got dressed, thanked Nala again, and left the house.</span> <<link "<span class='passage-link'>Return to the village</span>">> <<goto "Village">> <</link>>

<center><<link "<span class='passage-link'>⏯ Skip the scene</span>">> <<goto "Village">> <</link>></center> <span class="passage-text">Nala stood up and was about to head toward the bedroom when your firm voice stopped her.</span> <div class="dialogue char-player">"I think we can do it here."</div> <span class="passage-text">The lioness raised an eyebrow and was about to object, but changed her mind at the last moment. She turned to the desk to find a suitable position when you again took the initiative,</span> <div class="dialogue char-player">"Bend over this desk and raise your pretty tail."</div> <div class="dialogue char-nala">"And what makes you think I'll follow your orders?"</div> <div class="dialogue char-player">"Because I've completed a rather difficult task for you. And now you'll do the same for me. So stop showing-off and be a good girl."</div> <span class="passage-text">Nala was surprised by your confidence, but didn't object. She was used to being in complete control, so she hesitated briefly before leaning on the table and raising her tail. The exposed charms made your cock harden, but you were even more touched by the lioness's embarrassment as she carried out your order. You began to deliberately undress slowly, watching her try her best to pretend she wasn't interested in the process.</span> <img src="images/NPC/Nala/lewd/bad_kitty_1.png" class="scene-img"> <span class="passage-text">Completely naked, you approached, standing directly behind Nala. Noticing your sly gaze, she instinctively tried to lower her tail, but you instantly grabbed it with your left hand, holding it in place. With your right, you quickly chastised the lioness for her behavior, giving her a gentle slap on the thigh.</span> <img src="images/NPC/Nala/lewd/bad_kitty_2.png" class="scene-img"> <div class="dialogue char-nala">"Hey!"</div> <span class="passage-text">Nala protested, earning another slap.</span> <div class="dialogue char-player">"I told you to raise your tail, not lower it. Bad girl. You'll be punished for this."</div> <span class="passage-text">The lioness tried to defend herself, but her words died in her throat as you moved the head of your penis upward over her pussy, lined it up with her anus, and pressed hard. The pink ring of muscle reluctantly gave way, allowing you inside.</span> <div class="dialogue char-nala">"Grrr... This is the wrong hole, idiot!"</div> <span class="passage-text">Nala growled, but she didn't resist, feeling your weight above her.</span> <div class="dialogue char-player">"This is the perfect hole,"</div> <span class="passage-text">you whispered.</span> <div class="dialogue char-player">"Now clench your ass or you'll get a good spanking."</div> <img src="images/NPC/Nala/lewd/bad_kitty_3.png" class="scene-img"> <span class="passage-text">Before the lioness could react, you grabbed her hips and thrust forward sharply, plunging into her tailhole until it slammed shut. A loud moan escaped your lips, drowning out another of Nala's indignant roars. Her body temperature and tightness were driving you crazy, but you were determined to get the most. Raising your hand defiantly for another slap on the feline's ass, you forced the lioness to submit and clench her muscles, eliciting another moan from you.</span> <div class="dialogue char-nala">"Pervert..."</div> <span class="passage-text">was all Nala could manage. <span class="passage-text">Ignoring her comments, you began thrusting vigorously. You withdrew almost completely, leaving only the head inside. The ring of her anus tightened around it, as if unwilling to part with your cock. So each time, you abruptly returned, brushing your balls against the tip of the lioness's pussy. Nala herself emitted sounds of a mixture of growls and moans.</span> <img src="images/NPC/Nala/lewd/bad_kitty_4.png" class="scene-img"> <span class="passage-text">A few minutes later, the lioness stretched out on the table in front of you, her butt slightly raised. You continued to fuck her tailhole, varying your pace to delay the inevitable. To your surprise, you no longer had to remind Nala to clench her inner walls. Whether fearing punishment or purely on her own initiative, she was trying to please you. Her pussy was already soaking wet, even though you weren't even thinking about touching it. When you realized you couldn't hold out much longer, you began pounding Nala's ass with all your might. Your balls slapped against her pussy, causing the lioness to moan uncontrollably. Realizing where this was heading, she said,</span> <div class="dialogue char-nala">"Pull out."</div> <div class="dialogue char-player">"No way,"</div> <span class="passage-text">you declared, starting to pump Nala's tailhole with cum. The lioness couldn't resist and came too, milking your cock dry with spasms of her anal muscles. You moaned triumphantly, spilling completely inside Nala, then pulled out and watched with obvious pleasure as her tailhole rhythmically contracted around nothing. You began to dress, exhausted after the amazing sex.</span> <img src="images/NPC/Nala/lewd/bad_kitty_5.png" class="scene-img"> <div class="dialogue char-player">"You have a perfect ass. I'm ready to fulfill any request you make just to enjoy it again."</div> <div class="dialogue char-nala">"I'll think about it,"</div> <span class="passage-text">Nala replied quietly, out of breath, causing you to smile contentedly and leave the village chief's house.

So you decided not to risk your life and surrender to the forest dweller's mercy. You sheathed your weapon, knelt down, and made a placating gesture with your hands, demonstrating your desire to avoid further bloodshed. The wolf's aggressive grin instantly gave way to something you could call a smile. She approached you until you fell backward, resting your elbows on the ground.</span> <img src="images/enemy/she_wolf/prey_1.png" class="scene-img"> <span class="passage-text">The beast sniffed her prey, as if testing you for what was to come.

The she-wolf stopped growling. She seemed you had guessed correctly.</span> <div class="dialogue char-player">"Well, I'm sorry. I can't wander around the forest naked. I guess..."</div> <span class="passage-text">Another growl, this time more mocking, made you quickly remove your clothes. The female sniffed you again and even licked your exposed penis, encouraging your obedience. Then she turned so that her crotch was positioned directly above your face. At first, you were dumbfounded by such impudence, but a sobering growl and a drop of her juices falling directly on your lips brought you back to your senses. Your hands automatically reached for her furry thighs, but the beast growled again.</span> <div class="dialogue char-player">"Do you want me to do everything with my mouth?"</div> <span class="passage-text">Instead of answering, her long tongue again touched the head of your hard length.</span> <div class="dialogue char-player">"You know, you have a very original way of expressing consent.

Your lips finally met her pussy, and your tongue ran along its edges a few times, savoring the offered cookie. Perhaps this was better than being bitten and scratched. Much better. With that thought in mind, you slid your tongue inside. The she-wolf whimpered and began greedily licking your entire penis from tip to base, paying some attention to your balls as well. With added motivation, you decided to keep up, thoroughly exploring the local fauna's interior in an unconventional way. Licking the juices from her inner walls, you couldn't wait to replace your tongue with a more suitable tool. It turned out that your thoughts miraculously coincided. The she-wolf finally lifted herself up, allowing you to breathe normally, and then turned around again so that her intentions were clear. Excruciatingly slowly, she sank lower until her coveted pussy engulfed your penis completely. You groaned and were about to reach for the beast's paws when you were reminded again that this time it wasn't up to you to decide how to act. The beast's claws raked across your torso, but didn't scratch.

You could only watch as your cock disappeared into the wolf's wet pussy each time, accompanied by contented growls. Sometimes the beast would speed up, but then she'd return to her previous slow pace, not letting you get close to your limit. At one point, you simply burned with the desire to take matters into your own hands, but you'd already learned that at best, you'd get a few scratches or bites for your outburst. Besides, the wolf's leisurely movements still brought you a ton of pleasure, especially when you began to sway in time with her movements. The female pretended not to notice your eagerness and simply continued riding your cock.</span> <video src="images/enemy/she_wolf/prey_4.mp4" autoplay loop muted playsinline class="scene-img"> </video> <span class="passage-text">When she sped up again, you could barely contain yourself. Fortunately, there was no slowing down this time. The wolf braced her clawed paws on your chest, continuing to ride your length with increasing fury. The mixture of your juices trickled down as you both rapidly approached climax. A few more hard thrusts, and the wolf threw her head back and howled, reaching the point of no return. You suddenly realized she had stopped moving, even though you were almost at your peak. This time, caution was a secondary consideration, so you grabbed her hips and began to toss her as she continued to cum. The clenching inner walls of her warm pussy made you come after just a dozen thrusts. Having impaled the bitch, who was shuddering with orgasm, all the way, you finished deep inside. The she-wolf lolled her tongue in pleasure, feeling the rhythmic pulsations of your erupting cock.</span> <img src="images/enemy/she_wolf/prey_5.png" class="scene-img"> <span class="passage-text">After tactfully waiting for you to stop filling her with seed, the she-wolf stood up and took a step back.

She understood perfectly and immediately rolled over, allowing you to admire her fur, which didn't look at all dirty after her battle with you. Rays of sunlight filtered through the dense tree branches, illuminating the lower half of the female's body. The sight made you smile.

She closed her eyes and stuck out her tongue as you continued to move inside her. Deciding to remedy this, you slowed down, then hovered over her, moving closer to her muzzle. The she-wolf looked rather curious. Her soft fur brushed against your stomach and chest as you leaned close to her ear and whispered,</span> <div class="dialogue char-player">"You don't think I'm just going to forget, do you? Bad bitch. To make you remember that attacking a human is wrong, I'll have to teach you a lesson."</div> <span class="passage-text">The she-wolf let out a questioning whine and the next second felt your teeth clamp lightly around her neck, and your cock thrust sharply deep inside, hitting her cervix.

<span class="passage-text">A little gold and a useful potion were certainly nice. But something told you that wasn't all your four-legged friend had in store for you. Curiosity prompted you to continue exploring the cave, especially since around the first turn, your eye caught a light source. The sight before you stole the breath from your chest, leaving you momentarily paralyzed. There, bathed in the flickering light of nearby candles, was Kael. Ropes were coiled tightly around his limbs, securing him to a jagged stone pedestal in the center of the cave. His hind legs were splayed wide apart, forcibly exposing the vulnerable junction between them.</span> <img src="images/NPC/Houndoom/lewd/rope_1.png" class="scene-img"> <span class="passage-text">Kael’s head snapped up as you entered. A flush seemed to creep beneath his short brown fur, and he looked profoundly embarrassed, yet his eyes betrayed him. There was a shimmering spark of joy in them, an unmistakable relief that you had finally chosen to accept the "reward" he’d offered.</span> <div class="dialogue char-player">"Kael?"</div> <span class="passage-text">you asked, your voice barely a whisper, as if you were trying to reconcile the brave scout who had survived a wyvern with the submissive creature currently bound to stone.</span> <div class="dialogue char-hound">"H-hello,"</div> <span class="passage-text">he stammered, his tail giving a small, involuntary twitch against the pedestal.

Despite your shock, you found your feet moving forward, closing the distance between you and the pedestal. You tried to maintain a sense of composure, though it was becoming increasingly difficult to keep your eyes from wandering down to the heavy length between his thighs.</span> <div class="dialogue char-hound">"I have many talents,"</div> <span class="passage-text">Kael replied, a small, lopsided smile tugging at his muzzle. As you drew nearer, his voice lost its tremor, replaced by a burgeoning confidence that sent a thrill through you.</span> <div class="dialogue char-hound">"Take what you desire."</div> <span class="passage-text">At those words, he averted his gaze, a deep flush darkening the fur on his cheeks. The sincerity in his voice was overwhelming; it was one thing to be offered as a prize, but another entirely to see it offered with such genuine devotion. It would be an act of profound cruelty to refuse him now.</span> <<link "<span class='passage-link'>First, please Kael</span>">> <<goto "Kael_quest_8">> <</link>><span class="lockedNote">💗 Rimming + anal 💗</span> <<link "<span class='passage-link'>Just fuck that bitch</span>">> <<goto "Kael_quest_9">> <</link>><span class="lockedNote">💗 Rough anal 💗</span>

<center><<link "<span class='passage-link'>⏯ Skip the scene</span>">> <<goto "Village">> <</link>></center> <span class="passage-text">You took a moment to truly study your "reward." Kael was strikingly handsome, even in this compromised state. His short brown fur was thick and meticulously groomed, tracing the powerful contours of his sculpted muscles. You could see the way his chest heaved with shallow breaths, every rib and pectoral muscle defined by the tension of his restraint. He exuded a pleasant, earthy scent that seemed to sharpen your senses, and in this prey-like stance was driving you wild.</span> <span class="passage-text">A bead of saliva gathered at the corner of your mouth as you fought to suppress a low, primal growl of desire. You wanted him completely surrendered to your whim. Your gaze fell upon the ropes binding him; they were taut and punishingly tight, restricting his movement to the point of near-immobility. Under Kael’s searching, expectant eyes, you reached out to work on them. You retied several knots, loosening the tension just enough for "comfort," though the act felt like a deliberate assertion of control over his very freedom.</span> <span class="passage-text">With the restraints adjusted, you finally stepped into your place between his powerful hind legs. You sank to your knees, bringing your face inches away from the heavy heat radiating from his groin. The candles Kael had meticulously placed around the pedestal cast a flickering, amber glow across his fur, highlighting every curve and ridge of the offering he'd laid before you. The shadows danced over his muscles, making him look like a masterpiece of flesh and fur waiting to be claimed.</span> <div class="dialogue char-hound">"What are you planning?"</div> <span class="passage-text">Kael asked, his voice trembling with an eager, almost desperate anticipation. He seemed to be practically begging for you to pounce on him, to take what was offered.</span> <span class="passage-text">Instead of answering, you let your hands do the talking. You pressed your palms against the warm, corded muscles of his inner thighs, pushing outward to spread him even wider. His flushed red cock pulsed in response as your face drifted closer to his weight. You began with a slow, deliberate stroke of your tongue over the soft skin of his groin before lowering your head further, pressing your nose into the heavy curve of his balls. You took a deep, greedy breath, inhaling the heady, musky scent of his fur and the underlying heat of his arousal.</span> <img src="images/NPC/Houndoom/lewd/rope_2.png" class="scene-img"> <span class="passage-text">Kael bit his lip, his entire frame shuddering as he waited in breathless suspense for your next move.</span> <span class="passage-text">The answer came with a wet, sliding friction. You shifted your focus away from his front, moving toward the prize Kael had so carefully prepared. His tailhole was pristine, inviting, and already slick with anticipation. As your tongue made first contact, circling the tight ring of his anus, a violent shudder racked the scout’s body. His internal muscles spasmed in a rhythmic, involuntary clench, reacting to the wet heat of your attention.</span> <div class="dialogue char-hound">"Oh, <<= $playerName >>..."</div> <span class="passage-text">Kael gasped, his head falling back against the pedestal. He watched through heavy lids as his balls rested against the bridge of your nose, his voice breaking into a strained whimper of pure, unadulterated devotion.</span> <span class="passage-text">The moment your tongue breached the tight ring of his anus, a deep, guttural groan tore from Kael’s throat. He threw his head back against the stone, his body arching as he was overwhelmed by the intrusive, wet heat. He was radiating warmth now, his fur damp with the sweat of mounting arousal. You felt a primal urge to fill that eager, yielding space with your cock, but you forced yourself to be patient. You wanted to systematically dismantle his composure until he was begging for the very thing he feared and desired.</span> <span class="passage-text">With every millimeter of depth your tongue achieved, Kael’s internal muscles spasmed in a frantic, rhythmic clench against your face. His moans shifted in pitch, losing their melodic quality and becoming something sharper, more desperate. The pleasure was becoming too much for his stoicism to bear; the sensitivity of his rear was being pushed to a breaking point by your deliberate, lingering attention.</span> <div class="dialogue char-hound">"Please... fuck me already!"</div> <span class="passage-text">Satisfied with the result, you pulled back, savoring the way his body continued to shudder in your wake. You licked your lips, watching the way his chest heaved as he struggled to catch his breath. With practiced efficiency, you reached for the ropes again, tightening and repositioning them so that his hind legs were locked into a perfect, wide-spread angle, providing you with unobstructed access to his rear.</span> <span class="passage-text">You stood up and began to strip away your clothes, letting the garments fall to the dirt floor. You gave Kael a few silent seconds to take in the sight of what was about to happen. He swallowed hard, his eyes widening as they traced the length and weight of your cock, but he didn't flinch. If anything, his gaze darkened with a hungry, unwavering resolve.</span> <img src="images/NPC/Houndoom/lewd/rope_3.png" class="scene-img"> <div class="dialogue char-hound">"Don't hold back."</div> <span class="passage-text">The plea was raw, stripped of any remaining restraint. It was the ultimate invitation — the green light you had been waiting for. You stepped into his space, positioning yourself between his wide-spread legs. Before entering, you deliberately pressed the broad head of your cock against his balls, letting him feel the full weight and searing heat of your length as it hovered at his entrance. You took a slow, steadying breath, then lowered your hips with a sudden, decisive drive.</span> <div class="dialogue char-hound">"YES!"</div> <span class="passage-text">Kael’s cry was a jagged explosion of sound as you breached his prepared heat. It felt like a jolt of white-hot lightning surging through his frame; his body seized, and he bucked against the ropes as you buried yourself to the hilt.</span> <span class="passage-text">As your length seated itself deep within him, a realization flickered in your mind: the way his internal muscles reacted suggested that this wasn't his first time being opened like this. He wasn't a novice; he knew exactly what it felt like to be filled. Yet, far from dampening your mood, that knowledge only served to heighten your arousal. It meant his submission was an intentional choice, a deliberate gift of pleasure offered specifically to you.</span> <span class="passage-text">You didn't waste time with gentleness. You immediately picked up a confident pace, driving into him with heavy, rhythmic thrusts. Each lunge hammered him against the pedestal, turning his moans into a continuous, desperate soundtrack of conquest as you began to pound him with everything you had.</span> <img src="images/NPC/Houndoom/lewd/rope_4.png" class="scene-img"> <div class="dialogue char-player">"Are you regretting your decision yet?"</div> <span class="passage-text">you growled over the heavy, wet sounds of your friction. You leaned down, your face inches from his ear, your voice dropping to a menacing rumble that vibrated against his fur.</span> <div class="dialogue char-player">"Because I’m not untying those ropes until my seed is overflowing from your ass."</div> <div class="dialogue char-hound">"Yes! I want it!"</div> <span class="passage-text">he cried out, his body shuddering as if the very idea of being filled by you were the only thing keeping him anchored to the pedestal.</span> <div class="dialogue char-player">"Not so fast,"</div> <span class="passage-text">you smirked. You weren't lying; the pressure was building in your core, a heavy heat that demanded release. But for now, you wanted to savor his submission. You slowed the pace, transitioning from punishing thrusts into long, agonizingly deep strokes that allowed him a moment to breathe and to work.</span> <div class="dialogue char-player">"Be a good boy and squeeze your ass harder for me."</div> <span class="passage-text">He didn't hesitate. Almost immediately after the command, you felt his internal muscles coil like springs around your length. They clamped down in a firm, steady grip before relaxing just enough to let you sink deeper, then clenching again with a rhythmic intensity that sent waves of pleasure straight to your brain. It was a masterclass in internal massage; Kael was either an incredibly experienced lover or possessed a natural, instinctive talent for this kind of play.</span> <video src="images/NPC/Houndoom/lewd/Kael.mp4" autoplay loop muted playsinline class="scene-img"> </video> <span class="passage-text">The sensation was so exquisite it forced a low moan from your own throat as you felt his walls molding around you. As a reward for his perfect obedience, you reached out and wrapped your hand around his heavy, bouncing member. You intended to give him a steady stroke to build the tension, but the moment your palm made contact with his hot fur and skin, Kael's body buckled. He let out a choked, high-pitched cry as he climaxed instantly, his entire frame convulsing against the ropes.</span> <span class="passage-text">Kael’s internal muscles began to throb with an uncontrollable, rhythmic pulse, his body convulsing as he rode out the waves of his climax. It was a violent, beautiful shudder that nearly unseated you, but it only served to ignite your own primal instinct. You gripped him by the hips, your fingers sinking into his thick fur and abandoned all pretense of restraint. You began to pound into him with a frantic, animalistic ferocity, driven by a single, overriding urge: to breed this bitch.</span> <span class="passage-text">Kael let out one final, jagged scream of pure delight. You hammered home with a series of rapid, punishing thrusts until your own release finally broke over you, a hot, heavy deluge of seed filling him completely. Kael’s body went limp against the pedestal, his muscles twitching in the aftershocks of a truly profound climax.</span> <img src="images/NPC/Houndoom/lewd/rope_6.png" class="scene-img"> <span class="passage-text">You slumped forward for a moment, your forehead resting against his damp fur as you tried to catch your breath. The silence that followed was heavy and charged, broken only by the sound of your synchronized, ragged breathing.</span> <div class="dialogue char-player">"Saving you that time was definitely a good investment,"</div> <span class="passage-text">you managed to huff out, your voice thick with satisfaction.</span> <span class="passage-text">Kael didn't answer immediately; he simply closed his eyes, a faint, blissful smile playing on his muzzle. He looked utterly spent, as if the sheer intensity of what had just happened had drained every ounce of energy from his limbs. It took a few minutes before you finally withdrew, the wet slide of your exit leaving him trembling in your wake.</span> <span class="passage-text">As you pulled back, you saw it — a small, gleaming trail of your seed began to leak from his stretched tailhole, a visceral mark of your conquest. You reached for the ropes to set him free, but a tired, contented voice stopped you.</span> <div class="dialogue char-hound">"No need,"</div> <span class="passage-text">Kael rasped, his eyes half-lidded and glazed with lingering pleasure.</span> <div class="dialogue char-hound">"Let me lie there a little longer... just for a minute. And then I'll untie myself. I'll see you in the village."</div> <span class="passage-text">You stood there for a heartbeat, struck by the sight of him reduced to a heap of blissful submission on a stone pedestal. You nodded slowly and began to dress, your gaze lingering one last time on his delectable, marked backside before turning toward the exit.</span> <span class="passage-text">Just as you reached the threshold, Kael’s voice drifted toward you once more, soft and laden with genuine emotion.</span> <div class="dialogue char-hound">"Thank you, <<= $playerName >>.

<center><<link "<span class='passage-link'>⏯ Skip the scene</span>">> <<goto "Village">> <</link>></center> <span class="passage-text">There was something about a creature tying themselves in knots (literally) that demanded a specific kind of response. Kael hadn't just offered his body, he had surrendered his agency the moment he cinched those ropes around himself and anchored his limbs to that stone. In your mind, showing him tenderness now would be an insult to the reality of his submission.</span> <span class="passage-text">With a sly, predatory grin, you stepped toward the pedestal. You were going to ensure he didn't regret this gift, because you intended to explore every inch of his capacity for pleasure until he was utterly spent.</span> <span class="passage-text">Kael watched you approach with a look of bashful hesitation. He wasn't frightened, instead, he seemed almost embarrassed, as if you’d caught him in an act of scandalous vulnerability. You took your time assessing the knots holding his limbs in place. With deliberate movements, you tightened and adjusted them to your liking, ensuring his hind legs were locked into a position that would allow for maximum accessibility.</span> <span class="passage-text">You began to strip away your clothes, letting them fall into the shadows of the cave. The power dynamic was shifting visibly. As you stood before him, naked and looming, you took your time sliding your cock along his ass.</span> <div class="dialogue char-player">"Are you sure about this?"</div> <span class="passage-text">you asked, your voice dropping to a low, dangerous register that seemed to vibrate in the small space between you. It wasn't an invitation but a final warning before you took everything he was offering.</span> <img src="images/NPC/Houndoom/lewd/rope_3.png" class="scene-img"> <div class="dialogue char-hound">"Y-yes,"</div> <span class="passage-text">Kael stammered, his eyes darting away from your smirk. He looked smaller like this, vulnerable and bound, yet desperate for your touch.</span> <span class="passage-text">You didn't rush him. You moved with predatory deliberation, running your palms over the firm, warm muscles of his abdomen as if mapping out a territory you intended to conquer. Your fingers brushed against his cock and balls but didn't linger. Instead you seized one of his paws, anchoring him more firmly to the stone. Leaning in until your lips were nearly brushing his ear, you whispered,</span> <div class="dialogue char-player">"Then say it."</div> <span class="passage-text">Kael flinched at the sharpness of your command, a visible shiver running down his spine. He wasn't recoiling from fear, he was reacting to the sheer weight of your authority.</span> <div class="dialogue char-hound">"I want you to fuck me,"</div> <span class="passage-text">he managed, his voice barely audible.</span> <span class="passage-text">You ignored the words for a moment, circling the broad head of your cock around his pulsating orifice. You were teasing him, prolonging the agony of anticipation. Kael understood the game. He bit his lip until it nearly bled, his breath coming in jagged hitches as he forced himself to find more courage.</span> <div class="dialogue char-hound">"I want you to... use me for your pleasure,"</div> <span class="passage-text">he repeated, his voice gaining a desperate edge of confidence.</span> <span class="passage-text">You smeared a bead of pre-cum over his opening, letting the slickness coat the tight muscle, but you didn't push inside yet. You held him there in the liminal space between desire and fulfillment, your demanding gaze boring into his eyes until he couldn't bear the psychological pressure anymore. Finally, his composure snapped completely.</span> <div class="dialogue char-hound">"Fuck that bitch already!"</div> <span class="passage-text">he screamed, a raw, hysterical sound of total surrender.</span> <div class="dialogue char-hound">"Breed me until I lose my pulse! Make me dream of your cum!"</div> <div class="dialogue char-player">"Very well,"</div> <span class="passage-text">you murmured, your voice dripping with a lazy, almost bored authority.</span> <span class="passage-text">You didn't wait for another word before you surged forward, the heavy weight of your balls colliding against his rear as you forced your length into him in one decisive motion. Kael’s body jolted violently, the initial invasion was an invasive stretch that sent a sharp spike of pain through his nerves, followed immediately by a drowning wave of pleasure that left him gasping for air.</span> <img src="images/NPC/Houndoom/lewd/rope_4.png" class="scene-img"> <div class="dialogue char-player">"Seems like you're quite accustomed to taking other people's cocks, aren't you?"</div> <span class="passage-text">you taunted, watching as his eyes rolled back in his head, his consciousness beginning to fray under the sudden weight of your presence.</span> <div class="dialogue char-player">"Then I’m sure you’re more than ready for what comes next."</div> <span class="passage-text">You withdrew slowly, the wet friction of your exit eliciting a faint, high-pitched whine from him. You left only the broad head buried deep within his heat before delivering a sharp, punishing thrust that slammed you back to the hilt. Kael yelped, his body twitching against the ropes as the sheer mass of you occupied every inch of his internal space.</span> <span class="passage-text">You repeated the motion, pulling back until he felt the void, then shoving forward with a violent, jarring force, re-breaking his composure with each sharp impact. With every subsequent lunge, you allowed your tempo to climb, shifting from methodical stretching to an unrelenting, heavy pounding. Kael was no longer just reacting, he was drowning in it, his eyes glazing over as he whined softly with every punishing stroke that hammered him into the stone pedestal.</span> <div class="dialogue char-player">"Don't hold back, bitch. Scream!"</div> <span class="passage-text">you commanded, your voice a low, authoritative rasp that cut through the heavy atmosphere of the cave.</span> <span class="passage-text">It was the final catalyst he needed. Kael’s composure shattered completely, his cries erupted in a series of raw, uninhibited wails that echoed off the stone walls. He wasn't just enduring the sensation — he was thriving on it. Every punishing thrust sent him into a state of ecstatic delirium, his body vibrating with the sheer intensity of your intrusion.</span> <div class="dialogue char-player">"That’s it,"</div> <span class="passage-text">you growled, watching the way his internal muscles gripped and yielded to your length with practiced ease.</span> <div class="dialogue char-player">"Your ass takes my cock perfectly. It was simply made for this."</div> <div class="dialogue char-hound">"Yes! Destroy my ass!"</div> <span class="passage-text">Kael cried out, his voice cracking.

You reached down, your hand sliding over the scorching heat of his fur-covered body until your fingers found his heavy balls. You gripped them firmly, squeezing them just enough to send a fresh jolt of electricity through his frame as your hips continued their merciless, rhythmic pounding.</span> <div class="dialogue char-player">"And why would a bitch like you need these?"</div> <span class="passage-text">you taunted, your voice dripping with mockery as you squeezed again.</span> <div class="dialogue char-player">"Maybe we should just get rid of them once and for all."</div> <span class="passage-text">Kael’s eyes glistened with tears of overstimulation, his breath coming in short, desperate hitches. He looked at you with an expression of pure, worshipful adoration — the look of a creature who found his ultimate purpose in being subjected to your strength.</span> <div class="dialogue char-hound">"If you wish... Master!"</div> <span class="passage-text">he gasped out, the title hitting you like a physical blow.</span> <span class="passage-text">Your heart skipped a beat at the word, a surge of primal heat flooding your veins at the sheer weight of his submission. You quickly steadied your breathing, refusing to let him see your surprise as you leaned back into your role, ensuring his spirit remained broken and beautiful.</span> <div class="dialogue char-player">"Hmm... perhaps I'll let them stay,"</div> <span class="passage-text">you purred, your voice smooth as silk even as your hips continued their violent work.</span> <div class="dialogue char-player">"I do love the way they bounce when I drive my cock deep into your ass. But if you want to keep them, you’ll have to pay for my mercy with every ounce of your submission."</div> <div class="dialogue char-hound">"Just tell me... what to do,"</div> <span class="passage-text">Kael's voice barely a thread of sound as he hung on the edge of his own sanity.</span> <span class="passage-text">A smile spread across your face. You didn't stop your pace. If anything, you drove into him harder, your hips moving with a relentless, heavy rhythm. You leaned forward, pressing his chest firmly against the cold stone of the pedestal, using your body weight to pin him even more securely against the rock. Then, you did something that made his breath hitch: you captured his mouth in a demanding kiss.</span> <span class="passage-text">It wasn't a gentle gesture. It was a claim of ownership, deep and hungry as he gasped for air into your mouth. The sheer sensory overload, the pounding of your cock in his rear combined with the heat of your lips sent him reeling, nearly making his head spin toward unconsciousness. You pulled away just long enough to see his dazed, blown-out eyes before whispering against his skin,</span> <div class="dialogue char-player">"You have to cum when I say so. Got it?"</div> <div class="dialogue char-hound">"Y-yes... sir,"</div> <span class="passage-text">he whimpered, the word a broken vow of obedience.</span> <span class="passage-text">You bared your teeth in a grin and resumed your assault, your hips slamming into him with punishing force. You could see the way his body was vibrating, the muscles in his thighs quivering as he fought against the mounting pressure building inside him. It was impressive: despite how much you were pushing him, he was still holding on, clinging to the last shred of control before the explosion.</span> <div class="dialogue char-player">"Maybe after I fill you with my seed,"</div> <span class="passage-text">you hissed, your voice a low, menacing vibration against his trembling form.</span> <div class="dialogue char-player">"I’ll tighten those ropes until they bite into your skin. Then, I might just call out to some of the forest dwellers so they can have some fun with such an obedient bitch, what do you think?"</div> <span class="passage-text">Kael didn't speak; he couldn't. He only let out a long, high-pitched moan that was thick with a terrifying mix of shame and sheer, unadulterated arousal. The mental image of being shared by the wild seemed to send a fresh wave of heat through his body, making him writhe against his bonds.</span> <span class="passage-text">You seized on that vulnerability, shifting gears into an unrelenting, frenzied pace. Your hips became a blur of motion, your cock hammering into his ass with the violent force of a jackhammer. Each impact forced a new cry from his throat, his body bucking against the pedestal until he was nothing but a mess of quivering muscles and desperate whimpers. The wet sound of your joining filled the cave, a rhythmic announcement of your total dominance.</span> <div class="dialogue char-player">"I'm sure you’d love that,"</div> <span class="passage-text">you panted, your own heart hammering against your ribs as you felt his internal walls beginning to seize in anticipation.</span> <div class="dialogue char-player">"But today, you belong only to me."</div> <span class="passage-text">You reached down, your fingers cupping the throbbing base of his cock. You squeezed firmly, a final act of ownership that pushed him over the edge.</span> <div class="dialogue char-player">"Cum for me, Kael!"</div> <span class="passage-text">The command was the spark that lit the fuse. The moment it left your lips, Kael’s body arched into an impossible curve. A violent, shuddering orgasm ripped through him as thick ropes of seed erupted from his cock, spraying against his own fur and the stone pedestal in a desperate, public display of release. At the same exact second, you felt your own control snap. You surged forward with one final series of punishing thrusts, flooding his depths with a hot, pulsing deluge of your own.</span> <img src="images/NPC/Houndoom/lewd/rope_7.png" class="scene-img"> <span class="passage-text">You were so utterly spent that you remained pinned against him for several long minutes, your weight heavy on his trembling frame as the world slowly stopped spinning. The only sounds in the cave were your ragged breathing and the distant drip of water from the ceiling. Eventually, your senses began to return, and you took a moment to savor the victory before pulling away. You stroked Kael’s fur one last time, feeling the lingering tremors in his muscles, before reluctantly withdrawing.</span> <div class="dialogue char-player">"You're resilient,"</div> <span class="passage-text">you murmured, your voice raspy with exhaustion as you looked down at him. You reached out, tracing a finger along his cheek.</span> <div class="dialogue char-player">"Did you like it?"</div> <span class="passage-text">Kael’s head lolled to the side, his eyes half-closed and glazed with a profound, lingering haze of pleasure. <div class="dialogue char-hound">"I... I absolutely loved it,"</div> <span class="passage-text">he managed to rasp out. He took a shuddering breath, trying to find some semblance of strength in his weary limbs.</span> <div class="dialogue char-hound">"I'll just... lie here for a bit longer. Don't worry... I can handle these ropes."</div> <div class="dialogue char-player">"Fair enough. I thought you might have preferred it if I'd followed through on my idea of luring someone from the forest in here,"</div> <span class="passage-text">you teased, though your tone was softer now.</span> <span class="passage-text">As you began to dress, moving with a slow, deliberate grace, you reached out and began to covertly loosen the knots around his wrists and ankles. It was a small, private act of mercy that you didn't want him to see as a change in your dominance.</span> <span class="passage-text">Kael watched you through heavy lids, noticing the subtle shift in the tension of the ropes.

He lived for these kinds of deals. The thrill of having someone exactly where he wanted them, bound by a contract of their own making. As a merchant, he knew the value of a good bargain; as a gryphon, he knew the pleasure of taking what he desired.</span> <span class="passage-text">Leaning back against the wooden windowsill, Garrett let his gaze wander over you, mentally cataloging exactly how he intended to use you. You couldn't help but notice the physical reaction his thoughts were provoking — the way his heavy breathing hitched and the visible pulse of arousal beneath his black fur.</span> <span class="passage-text">Catching your curious stare, Garret’s grin widened. With a deliberate, fluid motion, he shifted his weight and lifted one hind leg, presenting himself to you with shameless pride.</span> <div class="dialogue char-merchant">"Do you like the view?"</div> <span class="passage-text">he rumbled, his voice a deep, resonant vibration that seemed to echo in the shop.</span> <img src="images/NPC/Merchant/lewd/deal_1.png" class="scene-img"> <span class="passage-text">You nodded silently, your eyes fixed on his anatomy. It was thick and heavy, resembling a stallion's length.</span> <div class="dialogue char-merchant">"Gryphons possess a rather... diverse physiology,"</div> <span class="passage-text">Garrett interrupted, his voice carrying that smooth merchant’s cadence underscored by a low, predatory rumble.</span> <div class="dialogue char-merchant">"We find that variety is essential; each partner offers a unique experience to be explored. Don't be shy now and come closer. Get acquainted with what’s about to end up inside you."</div> <span class="passage-text">You followed his direction, crouching before him as he shrugged off his leather armor, the buckles clattering against the floorboards. If this gryphon had been the size of a draft horse, you would have walked away from the bargain immediately. At least, that was the lie you told yourself. In reality, he was just large enough to be intimidating, making your internal assessment clear: your body might survive the day without permanent damage, but it was going to be a grueling ordeal.</span> <span class="passage-text">You reached out, your hand closing around his length. It felt heavy and hot against your palm as you began to stroke him from head to base. He was massive, thick-veined and imposing, with a broad, blunt tip that seemed designed for total occupation.</span> <img src="images/NPC/Merchant/lewd/deal_2.png" class="scene-img"> <div class="dialogue char-merchant">"Scary?"</div> <span class="passage-text">Garrett grinned, reading the flicker of apprehension in your eyes.</span> <div class="dialogue char-merchant">"It’ll be a bit of a sting at first, I'll give you that. But once it settles... just try to imagine what it’s going to feel like when it’s buried deep inside you."</div> <span class="passage-text">The initial tension bled from your shoulders as you grew more accustomed to his presence. Your hand moved lower, your fingers cupping the heavy weight of his fur-covered testicles. A primal curiosity stirred within you — a fleeting desire to know what gryphon seed tasted like. But for once, it wouldn't be entering through your mouth.</span> <div class="dialogue char-merchant">"Have you seen enough? Time is money, after all,"</div> <span class="passage-text">Garrett remarked, his voice a smooth, practiced purr that betrayed his mounting impatience. He was playing the part of the merchant perfectly, even as his pupils dilated with predatory hunger.</span> <div class="dialogue char-merchant">"Now, get on all fours. And do try to keep your screams from alerting the neighbors."</div> <div class="dialogue char-player">"Maybe you should at least close the door?"</div> <span class="passage-text">you suggested, a slight tremor in your voice as you glanced toward the entrance.</span> <span class="passage-text">Garrett threw his head back and laughed, a rich, booming sound that vibrated through the shop's timber beams.</span> <div class="dialogue char-merchant">"What, are you afraid someone will stumble in and see exactly how you're paying for your purchase?"</div> <span class="passage-text">He reached out and turned the heavy iron key in the lock with a final, resounding thunk. However, he left the curtains wide open, allowing the ambient light of the village to spill across his workbench as he prepared to begin.</span> <span class="passage-text">By the time Garrett returned to your side, you were already stripped and positioned as instructed, kneeling on all fours in a state of heightened vulnerability. You found yourself mentally reviewing the terms of the contract; perhaps you should have negotiated for some sort of physical "aftercare" or a guarantee that you’d be able to walk straight once the deal was finalized.</span> <span class="passage-text">Garrett, however, lived up to his reputation as a mostly honest merchant. He reached into a heavy leather satchel and produced a small, dark glass vial. For a split second, your heart hammered against your ribs, a flash of panic making you wonder if he intended to drug you with an aphrodisiac, but the sharp, herbal scent revealed it was merely a potent lubricant.</span> <span class="passage-text">With practiced, methodical movements, Garrett began to apply the slick substance to your entrance. He seemed unable to resist the urge to test the opening, sliding a single clawed finger inside to stretch the tight muscle. You twisted your head back to look at him, catching the sight of his tongue darting out to lick his beak in predatory anticipation as he worked the oil into your inner walls. Already, thick beads of pre-cum were beginning to glisten at the broad tip of his member.</span> <div class="dialogue char-player">"I hope I survive this,"</div> <span class="passage-text">you muttered, your voice strained with a mix of fear and burgeoning heat.</span> <span class="passage-text">Garrett leaned over you, his shadow enveloping your frame as he prepared to close the distance.</span> <div class="dialogue char-merchant">"Not only survive it,"</div> <span class="passage-text">Garrett rumbled, his voice dropping into a low, vibrating register of command,</span> <div class="dialogue char-merchant">"but you’ll find yourself dreaming of doing it again."</div> <span class="passage-text">His massive, fur-clad frame loomed over you. You felt the heavy, pulsing heat of his length pressing against your entrance. Your muscles locked into a rigid wall of tension, your teeth gritted so hard your jaw ached as you tried to brace for the impact.</span> <span class="passage-text">Garrett didn't seem bothered by your resistance. He moved with a predator’s patience. A sharp claw reached out, tracing a line along the vertebrae at the nape of your neck before sliding downward in a slow, hypnotic glide toward your tailbone. It was a strange, masterful technique; the sensation was so intensely grounding and strangely pleasurable that it bypassed your brain entirely. The tension drained from your hips in an instant, your body surrendering to his touch as your muscles finally yielded.</span> <span class="passage-text">That was all he needed. Before you could even register the shift, one heavy paw slammed down onto the back of your head, pinning your face toward the floorboards, while another clamped firmly over your mouth to stifle any sound. The next moment, Garrett surged forward. He drove into you with a singular, devastating thrust that stretched your rear to its absolute limit. You felt yourself being breached, opened wide by his sheer mass as he buried himself to the hilt.</span> <span class="passage-text">He didn't pull back immediately; instead, he held you there, ignoring your frantic, muffled twitches and the way your body shuddered under the strain of you being completely impaled on his cock. He rolled his eyes in a gesture of mock-exasperation, his breath hot against your ear.</span> <div class="dialogue char-merchant">"There you go,"</div> <span class="passage-text">he chuckled, his voice vibrating through your spine.</span> <div class="dialogue char-merchant">"Damn, humans are so tight. Give it a second... well, the hard part is over."</div> <img src="images/NPC/Merchant/lewd/deal_3.png" class="scene-img"> <span class="passage-text">When Garrett finally removed his paws from your head and mouth, you felt a surge of defiant energy, wanting to snap at him for the rough handling. But the thought died in your throat as his hands landed firmly on either side of your torso, anchoring you to the floorboards. Before you could react, you felt the coarse, warm brush of fur against your back, followed by the wet, sandpaper-rough sensation of his tongue licking your ear. It was a primal gesture that sent a jolt of heat straight down your spine.</span> <span class="passage-text">Then, he began to move. The first few thrusts were sharp — a searing, demanding stretch of muscle and skin that forced a strangled gasp from your lungs. But as he found his rhythm, the initial sting began to melt into something else entirely. You pressed a trembling hand against your lower abdomen, your eyes widening as you felt the sheer mass of him shifting deep within you. With every heavy lunge, you could feel his length sliding past your internal landmarks, reaching depths that seemed impossible for a human.</span> <div class="dialogue char-player">"Oh god..."</div> <span class="passage-text">you breathed out, the sound more of a surrender than a complaint.</span> <span class="passage-text">Garrett let out a low, guttural hum of approval, his own body reacting to the friction. He mirrored your action, pressing his paw against your stomach as he felt your internal walls clenching around him with every punishing stroke. The sensation of being completely filled, of having your insides rearranged by such an imposing creature, was starting to override your fear, replacing it with a hazy, mounting pleasure.</span> <div class="dialogue char-merchant">"Oh, this is one of the best deals I've ever made,"</div> <span class="passage-text">he whispered, his voice thick and heavy as he leaned down, his beak hovering just inches from your cheek.</span> <div class="dialogue char-merchant">"I want it to be the best for you, too."</div> <span class="passage-text">Garrett wasn't merely fucking you; he was orchestrating an experience. With the practiced finesse of a master merchant, he began to modulate his rhythm, shifting the angles and depth of every thrust to find the exact points where your body would yield most readily. He played with your sensations like a craftsman working at a loom, weaving together friction and fullness until you were drowning in it.</span> <video src="images/NPC/Merchant/lewd/Garret.mp4" autoplay loop muted playsinline class="scene-img"> </video> <span class="passage-text">You were so utterly consumed by the sensory overload that the first climax caught you completely off guard. Your body buckled beneath him, a sudden, violent spasm of pleasure radiating from your core to your extremities as your internal muscles clamped down on his massive length in an involuntary squeeze. You didn't even have the breath to cry out; you simply hung there, trembling against the floorboards.</span> <span class="passage-text">Garrett let out a low, satisfied rumble that vibrated through your chest.</span> <div class="dialogue char-merchant">"I told you this would be awesome,"</div> <span class="passage-text">he chuckled, his voice thick with pride at his own craftsmanship.</span> <span class="passage-text">And he hadn't been lying. Despite the lingering ache of being stretched to your limit, every heavy lunge of his hips sent fresh waves of euphoria through your nerves. Whether it was the potency of the lubricant or simply Garrett’s uncanny ability to read your body’s desires, you found yourself leaning into the sensation, your moans becoming more frequent and desperate as you felt another peak looming on the horizon.</span> <span class="passage-text">The mental barriers finally crumbled completely. You weren't a customer anymore; you were a participant in his pleasure. You reached out, your fingers digging into his fur as you gasped for air.</span> <div class="dialogue char-player">"Garret... cum inside me,"</div> <span class="passage-text">you pleaded, the words a raw admission of total surrender.</span> <span class="passage-text">A triumphant glint sparked in his eyes. He didn't hesitate,</span> <div class="dialogue char-merchant">"I've been waiting for you to ask."</div> <span class="passage-text">Garrett’s paws clamped around your waist like iron shackles, and he began to drive into you with a ferocious, unyielding rhythm. The heavy weight of his balls slapped against your buttocks with every punishing thrust, a rhythmic percussion that punctuated the wet sounds of your union. He was no longer just seeking pleasure; he was delivering it with a master’s intensity.</span> <div class="dialogue char-merchant">"When you want me to fill your ass with my seed,"</div> <span class="passage-text">he commanded over the din of your moans, his voice a low growl of authority,</span> <div class="dialogue char-merchant">"just squeeze your muscles."</div> <span class="passage-text">The instruction was clear. You reached down, your hand working your own length with a frantic, desperate pace as you sought your own release. As you felt your climax approaching, you followed his command, clenching your internal walls around him in a powerful, desperate grip.</span> <span class="passage-text">In that exact moment, Garrett gave one final, soul-deep thrust. He buried himself to the hilt as his body convulsed, his balls thudding against your thighs and pulsing with life. You felt the overwhelming heat of his cum flooding into you — a thick, substantial deluge that seemed to travel deep into your core.</span> <img src="images/NPC/Merchant/lewd/deal_4.png" class="scene-img"> <span class="passage-text">For a few long minutes, you lay there, gasping for air as the world slowly stopped spinning. The silence of the shop was broken only by your ragged breathing. Then, with sudden, efficient movement, Garrett pulled out. He didn't offer any words of comfort; instead, he reached into his bag and produced a heavy, polished butt plug. Without warning, he jammed it into your aching heat, sealing the entrance. You gave the merchant a questioning look.</span> <div class="dialogue char-merchant">“What? I’m hardly going to waste my afternoon scrubbing these floorboards,”</div> <span class="passage-text">Garrett replied, gesturing with a claw toward a small puddle of your own spent seed on the wood.</span> <div class="dialogue char-merchant">“You can get dressed now.

Or perhaps an extra commission for the… extra effort?”</div> <div class="dialogue char-merchant">"No way,"</div> <span class="passage-text">Garrett laughed out loud.

While she tried to maintain an air of hostility, her body was already betraying her. You trailed your hands over the dense, silken fur of her back, your palms skimming down to her hips where you took hold of her bushy tail, pulling it aside to clear your path. It was clear to you that if humans were ever to settle on this world, a creature as striking as this hound wouldn't be left wanting for attention.</span> <div class="dialogue char-loona">"Can we get started already?"</div> <span class="passage-text">Loona groaned, her voice tight with a mix of irritation and burgeoning heat. She kept her gaze fixed forward, refusing to meet your eyes.</span> <div class="dialogue char-player">"So much impatience,"</div> <span class="passage-text">you chuckled, finding her prickly attitude more endearing than threatening.</span> <div class="dialogue char-player">"I could spend all day just admiring the view."</div> <div class="dialogue char-loona">"That wasn't part of our... Ah!"</div> <span class="passage-text">While Loona stood there, radiating indignant heat, you took a moment to prepare. You worked your length between your fingers, coating it in a slick slurry of saliva and the juices she was already weeping from her sex. Then, with a wicked glint in your eyes, you shifted your focus away from what was obvious and aimed for the puckered, tight seam just above her pussy.</span> <span class="passage-text">With a single, deliberate push, you forced the head of your cock into her rear. The sudden invasion of her unyielding heat sent a jolt through her entire frame; her muscles spasmed in a violent, involuntary contraction that nearly buckled her knees, drawing a shrill, startled cry from her throat.</span> <img src="images/NPC/Loona/lewd/Loony_a1.png" class="scene-img"> <div class="dialogue char-loona">"Do you have some kind of vision problem?!"</div> <span class="passage-text">she barked, her voice cracking with a mixture of shock and slight pain.</span> <div class="dialogue char-loona">"Can’t you see that this is the wrong hole?"</div> <span class="passage-text">You let out a low, mocking chuckle.</span> <div class="dialogue char-player">"Well, you were right about our agreement. I wasn't meant to simply admire the scenery. I was meant to fuck you,"</div> <span class="passage-text">you leaned in closer, your breath hot against her fur.</span> <div class="dialogue char-player">"And as for how exactly... well, we never quite got around to discussing the specifics, did we?"</div> <span class="passage-text">A low growl rumbled in Loona’s chest — a sound of self-loathing more than true anger. But before she could find the words to truly scold herself, you began to drive your length further into her. You pushed with a slow deliberation, forcing your cock past the initial resistance of her clenched sphincter. The sensation was incredible. A searing, suffocating tightness that made every inch of your length feel like it was being squeezed by a velvet vise.</span> <div class="dialogue char-loona">"Wait!"</div> <span class="passage-text">Loona gasped out, her body jerking forward as she tried to recoil from the overwhelming stretch.</span> <div class="dialogue char-player">"How fickle you are,"</div> <span class="passage-text">you remarked, your voice steady and authoritative.</span> <div class="dialogue char-player">"You were so eager for me to begin just moments ago; don't try to stall now. The first word is worth more than the second."</div> <span class="passage-text">With those words, you pushed deeper, your hands locking onto her hips to anchor her. To your surprise, she didn't struggle against your grip. Whether it was her stubborn adherence to the deal or a burgeoning realization that this new sensation wasn't nearly as terrifying as she’d imagined, Loona remained still — a willing, if indignant, participant in your lead.</span> <span class="passage-text">A low sigh of contentment escaped you as your weight settled forward, your balls pressing against the soft fur of her thighs while your length was buried completely within her tight, unyielding heat. You decided to let her acclimate to your size for a moment, allowing her body to adjust to the stretch before moving again. It was a small gesture of patience and a way to ensure she could handle what you were about to do.</span> <span class="passage-text">You pulled her flush against you, wrapping your arms around her toned frame, feeling the warmth of her skin through her fur. Though she kept a frown etched onto her face in a final show of defiance, the tension began to bleed out of her jaw as your hands began their exploration. Your palms wandered over her sides before sliding down to the sensitive skin of her inner thighs, eventually finding their way to her front.</span> <div class="dialogue char-player">"You didn't think I'd leave that delicious hole alone, did you?"</div> <span class="passage-text">you whispered into her ear, your breath hitching as you slid two fingers deep into her slick pussy.</span> <span class="passage-text">Loona let out a sharp whimper, her body jerking instinctively toward your fingers as they stretched her open. Sensing her readiness, you began to thrust slowly into her ass. Her tight walls resisted at first, stretching and yielding under the relentless pressure of your length. Simultaneously, your fingers danced deep inside her hot pussy, creating a dual assault on her senses that left her reeling.</span> <div class="dialogue char-loona">"Fucking pervert,"</div> <span class="passage-text">she managed to choke out, though the insult lacked its usual bite as she began to melt under the overwhelming double pressure.</span> <div class="dialogue char-player">"And you, my beautiful bitch with an amazing ass, were so eager for my cock."</div> <span class="passage-text">You leaned in, your voice a low rumble against her fur.</span> <div class="dialogue char-loona">"Grrr... at least... don't even think about cumming inside..."</div> <span class="passage-text">she growled, trying to maintain some semblance of authority over the situation.</span> <div class="dialogue char-player">"That depends entirely on your behavior,"</div> <span class="passage-text">you countered with a wicked grin.</span> <span class="passage-text">Loona opened her mouth to protest, but you beat her to it, sliding a third finger deep into her wet heat. The sudden increase in fullness robbed her of her words. Instead of a growl, a long, broken moan escaped her lips.</span> <div class="dialogue char-player">"That's it,"</div> <span class="passage-text">you whispered, your voice dripping with dominance.</span> <div class="dialogue char-player">"I give you permission to moan while I fuck your tailhole."</div> <span class="passage-text">You shifted gears, accelerating your pace and driving home with a power that suppressed any remaining muscular resistance. Her anus, now slick and yielding, began to accommodate your thickness with an ease that felt almost natural, as if it were designed for this very purpose. Your fingers teased her wet pussy, inside and out. You felt Luna approaching climax. But did she deserve it? You pulled your hand away from her crotch and were rewarded with a disgruntled growl.</span> <div class="dialogue char-player">"If you want to cum, ask me to,"</div> <span class="passage-text">you commanded, your voice a low rumble that vibrated against her skin.</span> <span class="passage-text">Loona stiffened, her jaw locking in a stubborn line. Even now, with her body reeling from the pleasure, she refused to surrender that last shred of pride. She wouldn't admit (not out loud) how much she was enjoying being undone by your dominance.</span> <div class="dialogue char-player">"Oh, I see..."</div> <span class="passage-text">a malicious smirk pulled at your lips as you watched her struggle.</span> <div class="dialogue char-player">"If you don't let me help you, then you'll just have to find your own way there while I pound your ass."</div> <span class="passage-text">You reached out, one hand clamping firmly around the base of her tail to anchor her, while the other gripped her thigh with bruising strength. The rhythm shifted instantly from smooth and steady to something much more violent and erratic. You began to slam into her rear with punishing force, driving your length in until it hit the very back of her heat before pulling out so sharply that only the head remained buried inside.</span> <span class="passage-text">The sudden void caused her internal muscles to spasm, her anus instinctively clenching around you in a desperate, involuntary contraction. You didn't give her a second to recover. You drove forward again with a heavy, jarring thrust that forced the air from her lungs. Her body was no longer reacting by choice — she was being overwhelmed by the sheer, visceral shock of your pace, her muscles betraying her as they buckled and seized under your command.</span> <div class="dialogue char-player">"God, yes... that’s much better,"</div> <span class="passage-text">you groaned, your voice thick with exertion as you resumed your relentless assault on her tailhole.</span> <span class="passage-text">Loona was beyond words now. Any attempt at a coherent protest had long since dissolved into a symphony of broken moans and high-pitched whimpers. As she neared her breaking point, just as you’d predicted, a fresh wave of frustration crossed her face at the sheer inevitability of her own climax.</span> <span class="passage-text">You pushed her over the edge, accelerating your pace until it was nothing more than a frantic, wet blur of motion, hammering into her stretched heat with punishing speed.</span> <div class="dialogue char-player">"If I were in your shoes, I would have surrendered by now,"</div> <span class="passage-text">you mocked, leaning over her as she began to tremble.</span> <div class="dialogue char-player">"Because my seed is seconds away from being buried deep inside you."</div> <div class="dialogue char-loona">"YES!"</div> <img src="images/NPC/Loona/lewd/Loony_2.png" class="scene-img"> <span class="passage-text">The cry ripped from Loona's throat.

For several minutes, you remained perfectly still, savoring the sheer intimacy of the moment. You traced the line of her stomach with one hand, your fingers disappearing into the thick fur, while the other tangled in her long hair, tugging just enough to tilt her head back. You squeezed her hips firmly, a silent claim of ownership that seemed to leave her breathless. The hound remained silent, her defiant spirit seemingly dampened by the overwhelming physical reality of your presence inside her.</span> <span class="passage-text">But stillness was only a prelude. The urge to fill that tight, aching heat with your seed became an insistent thrum in your blood. You began to move, starting with agonizingly slow thrusts. With every forward lunge, you paused at the point of maximum depth, letting the friction of her internal walls grind against your length. You relished the sensation of her furry thighs brushing against your own, the texture of her coat providing a rough contrast to the slick, velvet interior of her pussy.</span> <video src="images/NPC/Loona/lewd/Loona_tree.mp4" autoplay loop muted playsinline class="scene-img"> </video> <span class="passage-text">You began to accelerate your pace, the rhythm becoming more deliberate and insistent.

With every deep lunge, the pride in her eyes flickered and died, replaced by a hazy, desperate focus on the sensation of your cock filling her. It was a delicious realization: she wasn't just yielding because she had to, she was yielding because your body was systematically overriding her will. You knew exactly how to push her further, how to turn those muffled groans into full-bodied arches of surrender.</span> <span class="passage-text">Your hands moved with possessive intent, gripping her sides to steady her as you began to experiment with new sensations. One hand slid lower, your fingers grazing the sensitive skin of her inner thighs, making her hips twitch involuntarily. Your other hand found its way to her chest, feeling the frantic thrum of her heart beneath her fur.</span> <span class="passage-text">Then, you did something to truly shatter her composure: you pulled back. You withdrew until only the head of your cock remained buried deep within her wet heat.</span> <span class="passage-text">Loona’s eyes flew open, a confused, frustrated whine bubbling in her throat as she started to protest the sudden lack of friction. Before she could speak, you leaned down and clamped your teeth onto the side of her neck.</span> <div class="dialogue char-loona">"What are you...!"</div> <span class="passage-text">The dam finally broke. Loona’s stoicism shattered into a million pieces as she began to moan; loud, uninhibited sounds that echoed through the clearing with every deep lunge you took. She was no longer trying to hide it; her body was screaming for more, reacting to the way your cock stretched and filled her. You shifted your weight, experimenting with different angles, grinding against her internal walls until you found the precise spots that made her back arch into a bow of pure ecstasy.</span> <div class="dialogue char-loona">"Yes!

With a low chuckle of triumph, you abandoned the slow torture of the previous minutes. You adjusted your grip, finding a more aggressive stance, and began to drive into her with a frantic rhythm. You were pushing her toward a breaking point, your own pleasure secondary to the primal satisfaction of seeing her completely undone by you. Every stroke was a heavy, wet thud that resonated in your chest as much as hers. She was twitching beneath you, her hips bucking upward instinctively, seeking out the very thing that was overwhelming her senses.</span> <img src="images/NPC/Loona/lewd/Loony_2.png" class="scene-img"> <div class="dialogue char-loona">"I can't... anymore..."</div> <span class="passage-text">she gasped, the words barely a whisper, a desperate admission of defeat against the sheer volume of pleasure flooding her brain. Her resistance hadn't just faded, it had evaporated, leaving only raw, exposed sensation.</span> <span class="passage-text">The female leaned against the tree in front of her. Her hind legs bucked and trembled with such violence that you had to dig your fingers into her hips, anchoring her weight so you could maintain your relentless pace. She was vibrating with tension, her muscles coiled like a spring ready to snap as her intense orgasm reached its peak.</span> <div class="dialogue char-player">"Good girl,"</div> <span class="passage-text">you groaned against the crook of her neck, your voice thick with triumph.</span> <div class="dialogue char-player">"Now, it’s my turn."</div> <span class="passage-text">With one final, soul-deep thrust, you hit your limit. You surged into her, your body convulsing as you flooded her deep interior with hot, pulsing waves of seed. You held Loona tightly against your chest, anchoring her to the tree as if she might try to flee from the sheer intensity of the sensation. In the throes of her own climax and the overwhelming heat of your seed inside her, a low, vibrating purr began to hum through her ribcage.</span> <span class="passage-text">As the haze of pleasure began to recede and your breathing slowed, you took a moment to savor the victory. You stroked her fur one last time before slowly withdrawing, the wet slide of your exit leaving her trembling in your wake.</span> <span class="passage-text">You stood back for a moment, enjoying the stunning view. Still pinned against the rough bark of the tree, Loona was completely exposed, her pussy swollen and weeping with the evidence of your claim. You regretted a thousand times not taking the camera from the spaceship.</span> <img src="images/NPC/Loona/lewd/Loony_v3.png" class="scene-img"> <div class="dialogue char-loona">"Are we even?"</div> <span class="passage-text">the female tried to put on a stubborn mask again, though you knew perfectly well she was delighted with what had just happened.</span> <div class="dialogue char-player">"Perhaps.

Every pulse was a demand for release, an agonizingly perfect grip that threatened to shatter your control in an instant.</span> <span class="passage-text">You yanked yourself out of her heat with a sharp, decisive jerk. It wasn't out of respect for her request, it was about the visual reward. You wanted to see her marked by your victory.</span> <span class="passage-text">One hand remained clamped around the base of her tail, providing you with perfect leverage. With your other hand steadying your aim, you unleashed yourself. Thick, hot ropes of seed erupted from your cock in heavy spurts, painting across her fur and skin, coating her entire backside in a glistening, wet mess. Pleasure overwhelmed Loona with such force that she could no longer protest, only gasped as you emptied your balls.</span> <span class="passage-text">With your work complete, you took a few steps back, letting the silence of the clearing settle around you as you surveyed the scene. You watched her — the way she remained slumped against the rough bark of the tree, her fur matted and glistening with the wet evidence of your claim.

The sensation was fabulous — a mind-numbing grip that demanded release inside her.</span> <span class="passage-text">With a guttural roar of triumph, you maintained your relentless pace, hammering into the female even as you began to flood her deep inside. Hot, thick pulses of seed surged into her rear, filling her with your claim while you continued to drive yourself home against her yielding walls.

She ceased all protest, her head lolling back in a daze as she fought for air, her body vibrating under the weight of your release until you finally emptied everything into her tailhole.</span> <div class="dialogue char-player">"Sorry, I just couldn't help myself,"</div> <span class="passage-text">you said, your voice still thick and rough with the remnants of your climax.

<span class="passage-text">The well-tailored leather jacket surprisingly fit you perfectly.
