Warmth...

The strange sensation spreads through every inch of my body, sinking deep into my exhausted muscles and washing away the fatigue from last night’s brutal battle with the ghost. It leaves me drifting in pure comfort. I draw in a slow breath and force my eyes open. A thin ray of morning light slips through a crack in the rough wooden wall of the hut, illuminating the cramped space around me.

A woman kneels directly in front of me in perfect seiza posture. Long black furry ears rise from her head, twitching faintly. Her face is beautiful yet fragile, with slightly hollow cheeks hinting at a life of hardship and a body touched by faint malnourishment. A dirty brown gown, torn at the shoulder, hangs loosely off her frame and leaves one breast completely exposed. A long pink nipple crowns the soft swell, and a glistening bead of white milk slowly trails down her pale skin.

She presses a hot towel gently against my forehead. The heat feels heavenly.

"Good morning," she says softly, relief warming her voice. "You’re already awake." 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖

I jerk upright in alarm.

Reality crashes over me instantly. I’m completely naked. My clothes are gone. Cool morning air brushes against my exposed cock, and the sight of that leaking nipple sends blood rushing straight downward. My shaft stiffens almost immediately, growing hard and heavy between my legs while heat floods my face at the humiliating timing.

The wolf woman’s ears flick back in panic. Her eyes dart downward, catching sight of my throbbing erection, and her cheeks flare bright red, yet she makes no move to cover herself.

"I—I found you last night," she explains hurriedly. "You collapsed right outside my hut. You looked terribly sick, and your clothes were filthy, so I brought you inside and washed them. They’re drying outside now." She pauses before lowering her head deeply, ears flattening submissively. "I recognized you. You’re the adventurer who exorcised that perverted ghost. It tormented the men in our village for so long. Thank you... truly, from the bottom of my heart."

I swallow hard, trying to steady my pulse. My cock continues to pulse visibly, refusing to calm while her bare breast hangs openly before me, milk still dripping slowly from the stiff nipple.

"I’m sorry," I say hoarsely. "I was exhausted last night. I saw the hut and just collapsed inside. I didn’t mean to intrude."

She lifts her head and gives me a small but genuine smile. "You don’t need to apologize. You saved us. This is the least I can do."

I glance toward the doorway. "My horse?"

"It’s safe outside. He seems well-rested."

Relief loosens some of the tension in my chest. I begin to push myself upright, but movement in the corner of the hut catches my attention. A tiny theriantrope wolf pup, barely a few months old, sleeps peacefully beneath a faded shawl. Understanding dawns on me immediately. That explains the milk leaking freely from her breast.

She’s a mother.

My eyes drift back toward her exposed chest. She still makes no effort to cover herself. The soft weight of her breast, the long pink nipple, the thin white trails of milk running down her skin—it holds my gaze like a magnet. My cock twitches hard again.

And she notices.

Her cheeks deepen to an even brighter crimson. Her furry ears fold tightly against her head as she looks down shyly before meeting my eyes again.

"If... if you don’t mind," she whispers hesitantly, "I can take care of that." Her golden eyes flick meaningfully toward my erection. "Consider it repayment. The ghost... it killed my husband. You freed us from it. Please allow me to repay you."

Pity twists sharply in my chest. She can’t be older than eighteen. Already widowed, already raising a child alone in this tiny hut. Life has worn her down mercilessly, yet she kneels before me without hesitation, offering herself as thanks. At the same time, the sight of her swollen, leaking breasts awakens something deeply primal inside me. I can’t look away.

I give her a single nod.

Her face reddens even further, and her ears twitch nervously. "My name is Pico," she says softly, almost formally, as though exchanging names somehow matters before crossing this line together.

"Jacob," I reply.

The simple exchange feels strangely intimate in the charged silence filling the hut.

Pico says nothing else. She reaches up, hooks her fingers into the torn neckline of her gown, and slowly slides the fabric down her body in one smooth motion. Her other breast spills free beside the first. Both hang heavy and full now, swollen with milk. Faint blue veins trace beneath the pale skin, and her long pink nipples stand stiff and sensitive, each leaking thin streams of warm white milk that drip onto her thighs and the dirt floor below.

My mouth goes dry.

Pico leans forward onto her hands and knees and begins crawling toward me slowly, deliberately. Her hips sway with every movement while her furry tail moves faintly behind her. Her black ears remain half-flattened in embarrassment, but her golden eyes burn with a mixture of nervousness and raw desire. Milk continues dripping from her swaying breasts as she closes the distance, leaving tiny white spots along the floorboards.

Every muscle in my body tightens with anticipation. I watch the beautiful young widow crawl toward me completely naked, her lactating breasts heavy and leaking as she prepares to repay a debt I never asked her to settle. The scent of her skin and sweet milk fills the cramped hut. My cock throbs painfully hard as she draws closer, her warm breath already brushing against my thighs.
