Cassius honestly wanted to squeeze and grope Joy’s plump ass all day.

Of course, it wasn’t as big as her mother’s, which was in a league of its own.

Maria’s was honestly was so fat and thick that whenever he pushed his face between her cheeks to eat her ass, his entire face would disappear inside!

His wives would always laugh at the sight, finding it hilarious.

And Maria herself would blush in shame—not only because her anus was being licked, but because a man’s face was buried in her butt.

So, compared to Maria’s plush, pillowy butt, Joy still couldn’t complete.

Her body would become much riper and plumper all over as she aged, just like her mother’s.

But what she did have was a very firm ass that was bouncy and jiggly, showing off her youth. Her mother’s ass, by contrast, was much softer and moved without resistance, like a gentle wave.

Seeing this made Cassius think about how Joy herself was so resistant.

No matter how much he pushed and pulled, she would fight back.

Similarly, her ass fought back too.

No matter how much he squeezed it, it pushed back.

Whenever he gave it a small spank, it wouldn’t jiggle too much and would snap right back to its original position, showing how firm it was.

But this only made him want to ruin it even more.

So he just continued to squeeze, grope, and play around with it with all the happiness in the world while Joy enjoyed her time with the donkey and didn’t want to give it up at all.

But unfortunately, he knew that time was up.

When he looked over at the Montegro, it was looking back at him in a pitiful manner, as if asking him to help.

This was because Joy was particularly enthusiastic.

Once she got a hold of its jiggly butt, she couldn’t help but start drumming on it!

Even though she was doing it gently, the donkey’s peach bottom had actually become much redder, as if Joy was doing too much.

The donkey also seemed to be saying, "Please help me, master! This woman is crazy! She won’t let go of my ass!"

He knew that he had to stop.

So reluctantly, he pulled his hands away from Joy’s butt and also pulled her hands back.

To her surprise, he sadly said, "Peach needs some rest right now, Joy. I think we should let her go."

Joy was distraught, as she had been having the time of her life just moments ago and did not want to see the donkey leave.

Still, she knew she had played with it long enough and should not be greedy. She gave the animal a loving smile.

"Thank you, Peach, for letting me touch you." She said softly before giving its bottom a gentle pat.

Immediately, Peach jumped away and ran off as fast as she could.

Even though the woman had not been as terrifying as expected, she had been terrifying in an entirely different way with how much she had played with its butt.

The donkey felt thoroughly violated and quickly fled to safety.

Seeing this, Joy felt deeply saddened.

She had been in heaven only moments ago, experiencing the greatest joys in the world, but now she had sunk back to the mortal plane.

A deep sigh escaped from the bottom of her heart.

Seeing her sad, vulnerable expression tugged at something in Cassius’s heart.

He placed a comforting hand on her shoulder.

"Oh come on, Joy! Just because you can’t pet one animal doesn’t mean you can’t pet the others."

Joy looked up at him, eyes widening with sudden hope.

"Cassius you mean...that I...I can..."

Her gaze drifted longingly toward the rest of the enclosures where other animals waited.

"Exactly what you think."

Cassius nodded with a warm smile.

"Even though Peach needs some rest and time to eat, the rest of the animals are still there. And with how many there are, you can spend as much time with them as you want."

Joy’s face lit up with pure excitement!

Before, she wouldn’t have believed it—animals had always fled from her intimidating presence.

But now, with Cassius’s help and obvious influence over them, she didn’t want to waste a single second.

She suddenly grabbed his hand and started pulling him eagerly.

"Come, Cassius, come! Let’s go! I don’t want any of the animals to go back inside their sheds and hide from me!"

She was eager to go right now and she pulled him as hard as she could. But to her shock, she realized that Cassius wasn’t moving and wasn’t budging at all.

She turned back with a look of urgency.

"Come along, Cassius. What exactly are you waiting for?"

She actually let out a small pout and pointed at him, saying,

"If I miss any chance because of you slowing down, I definitely won’t forgive you and I’ll pray to the Goddess to strike you down!"

Joy of all people was actually pouting right now, which was quite bizarre to see and also quite adorable.

But Cassius wasn’t affected at all.

Instead just looked at her with a knowing gaze, which only made Joy shiver all over as she felt as if he wasn’t going to say anything good right now.

And just like she had thought, Cassius put his hands behind his back and said, as if he was in a higher position.

"Right now, I’m the one who’s helping you out, Joy. Without me, you wouldn’t be able to even touch any of the animals here."

Joy had no choice but to agree, as he really was her biggest supporter right now.

But then Cassius smirked in an evil manner.

"And that’s why, after giving and giving and letting you have one good experience after another, I think I deserve a little reward in return."

Joy scowled immediately.

"You already kissed me and played around with my body, Cassius."

She protested, still feeling the lingering heat on her ass from his earlier groping. The memory made her ears burn with embarrassment.

Cassius shamelessly shook his head.

"Simply not enough."

He leaned in close, breath brushing her ear as he whispered.

"What I want...is a kiss from you instead."

Joy’s face flushed with a mix of fury and flustered heat. She wanted to curse him out, call him every shameless name under the sun.

But before she could explode, Cassius held up a hand.

"Before you say anything, Joy, just think about the bigger picture. You give me one little kiss, and I’ll personally show you this entire zoo."

He gestured grandly toward all the enclosures filled with animals waiting to be petted.

But then Cassius clenched his fists and brought them back down.

"Or you can deny me and try on your own." He let out a sarcastic, mocking chuckle. "But I doubt that will work out. The moment you take a step forward toward them, they would already be miles away from you."

As irritated as Joy was by that statement, she actually couldn’t deny it, as that was most definitely true.

Without Cassius, she was nothing at all.

So right now, there were two options in her mind: completely give in and have the time of her life, or refuse for the sake of her dignity and lose the opportunity to pet all these animals.

Of course, the Joy of the past—despite how much she loved animals would not give in at all.

She would just flick him off before going away.

But the Joy right now was much softer than before.

She just glanced at him one last time with an irritated gaze, thinking that he really was a shameless man taking advantage of every situation, and feeling pity for all the women who had fallen for this before.

But nonetheless, while gritting her teeth, she said,

"Fine."

Cassius’s eyes grew brighter.

"If you really want a kiss, then give it. It’s no big deal." She said, trying to convince herself. "I’ll just think of it as kissing a wall or something."

She quickly took a couple of steps forward and tiptoed over to kiss Cassius’s cheek.

But just as she was about to do so, Cassius suddenly turned and kissed her right on the lips!

Joy’s eyes went wide.

She tried to pull back, but Cassius quickly grabbed the back of her head and pulled her in for a proper kiss.

To her dismay, he even shoved his tongue inside her mouth and started to kiss her passionately.

She was completely caught off guard and couldn’t fight back at all.

No matter how much she tried to push and fight, Cassius just grabbed onto her wrist and held on tightly as he kissed her in a passionate manner.

His tongue pushed past her lips, exploring her mouth with hungry intensity.

Joy struggled for a moment, but her resistance slowly melted away. Her body relaxed, and soon she was kissing him back—slow at first, then with growing fervor.

When he finally pulled away, strands of saliva connected their lips.

Joy’s face was flushed crimson, looking like she had just stepped out of a hot bath.

She wiped her mouth with the back of her hand, glaring at him with a mix of hatred and shy embarrassment.

"You better treat me like a VIP in this zoo after that." She muttered.

Cassius rubbed his hands together like the perfect customer service attendant.

"Of course, my lady!"

He offered his arm with exaggerated gallantry.

"Now come along! Let me personally show you around the greatest zoo this world has to offer!"

Joy, whose heart was still racing, simply followed along.

Soon Cassius and Joy moved from exhibit to exhibit, visiting all the animals.

First, they visited the common creatures—pigs, cows, goats.

Joy was especially enthusiastic since these were the same animals she used to care for back in the stables. She reached out and touched them, her fingers running through their fur, and for the first time in years, the animals didn’t flinch away.

They let her touch them, and she felt tears prick at her eyes.

Then they moved to the more exotic ones—colorful birds with plumage that shimmered in the fading light, strange-looking lizards with scales that felt like polished stone, fluffy mammals that looked like walking clouds.

Of course, the animals were wary at first, but Cassius called out to them and even threatened that he would not feed them if they did not comply.

They quickly came over and Joy got to enjoy touching the fur, scales, tails, feathers, and everything else.

She was not silent either. She slipped back into her nerd mode and excitedly pointed at one animal after another, giving detailed descriptions of it.

"Cassius, Cassius, look over there!" She pointed at a creature with vibrant blue feathers. "That’s a Crytalius! They’re native to the eastern mountains."

"They can mimic any sound they hear—even human voices. There’s a legend that one learned to sing a lullaby and put an entire village to sleep."

Before he could respond, she was already pointing at another animal.

"And that one—that’s a Fluffernutter! It looks like a ball of cotton, but it’s actually a type of rodent. They store food in their cheeks for the winter."

"One time, a farmer found a stash that had enough nuts to feed his family for three months!"

She pointed at another.

"Look at that bird! That’s a Rainbow Weaver. They build nests that look like hanging baskets. They’re so intricate that people used to think they were made by fairies."

She was like a little girl visiting the zoo for the first time after reading about animals in books her whole life, finally getting to vent all her knowledge.

She completely let herself go!

Cassius followed her all along the way, genuinely surprised to see her like this.

He knew that there was a part of her like this hidden inside. But still, to see it so brazenly and out in the open was really making him doubt his reality.

But he knew that this was still the same Joy, just the Joy that was starting to come out from her dark past.

So he just went along with her and nodded his head and asked her questions just to satisfy her vanity.

"What’s that one?" He asked, pointing at a creature he already knew the answer to.

Joy’s eyes lit up.

"How could you not know something as simple as this, Cassius? You truly are an idiot."

She went on to explain in detail, her voice filled with confidence.

"That’s a Spotted Hopper. They’re related to rabbits, but they have longer legs and can jump up to ten feet in the air. They’re mostly nocturnal and eat berries and small insects."

Cassius nodded before pointing at another animal.

"And that one?"

Joy got even more smug.

"Well, let me explain. That’s a Glimmerwing. It’s a type of butterfly that glows in the dark. They’re found in deep caves where there’s no light. People used to think they were spirits of the dead."

On and on she went, sharing facts, habitats, behaviors, and little-known trivia she had absorbed from years of reading in the royal library.

Cassius listened attentively, asking questions even when he already knew the answers just to keep her talking.

Of course, throughout the tour, Cassius never stopped touching her.

His hands roamed freely—squeezing her firm ass, giving it playful spanks that made it jiggle, kissing the side of her neck, or reaching around to grope her breasts and tease her nipples through her clothing.

Joy just glared at him, but she didn’t even mind.

Not only was she just in too good of a mood to think about all of that and considered it a way of payment toward him for allowing her to touch the animals.

But she was also getting comfortable with his touch as well.

Almost as if it didn’t really matter to her at all.

So she just let Cassius do what he wanted and play with her body.

One spent her time petting animals.

And the other petted her all over her body in return.

Truly a couple for the ages.
