Page 62 of A Soul to Touch

He’d been studying humans long enough to know that children were born through sex.

Magnar had managed to be intimate with his bride.

Sure, Delora, the antler Duskwalker’s female, was taller than Mayumi. Magnar was not much bigger than Faunus, but somehow they’d managed to succeed in this.

How did he do it?Faunus cursed himself for not accepting their offer to remain a little longer to speak with them when he’d been given the opportunity. He may have had the answers he now sought.

Instead, he’d rushed to come to Mayumi, travelling over a great distance so he could see her. All he’d thought about at the time was protecting her while also fleeing the Veil.

He’d never thought he’d ever need to know these answers.

Faunus carefully laid Mayumi against her mattress, which was completely dry of any mess because he’d cleaned her himself. His seed was a large puddle between his knees, but it was on the ground just at the foot of it.

Being careful not to make much noise, Faunus found a cloth on her kitchen counter and cleaned up the mess that had come from his body. He had no idea what to do with it once he’d wiped up his seed, so he just... threw the drenched cloth in the fire to get rid of the evidence.

Then he walked over to the firewood he’d cut and dropped near the door. His fur puffed when he bent down to grab the first log, the memory of him walking in on Mayumi sending a thrill throughout his entire body.

Was she thinking of me while she was fingering herself?

He still couldn’t believe this! Couldn’t believe what they’d just done and that he could still smell her arousal all over his face.

If he could, he’d never remove it. He wanted that scent permanently on his face. Forever. Mayumi eternally claiming his feline skull as hers. Marking it.

With a shudder as his cock stirred behind his seam, he finished collecting the wood and placed it where he saw her stack others up against the wall.

He couldn’t find his shirt when he looked for it, but he took his cloak off the rack and placed it around his shoulders. He coveredhis head, easy to do so since his ram horns curled around the sides of his face.

When he went outside to leave, a lingering doubt passed over his thoughts.What if she gets cold again?

He stared at the tree he’d dug out of the fresh snow earlier.

With a huff, he picked up the axe he’d placed on her shoe rack outside and began cutting up more. Much more. A few days’ worth – he was hoping. Especially since Faunus had every intention of being gone that long.

I will go to the Veil,he told himself as he chopped.I will find the answers– whether they be elating or disheartening.

He wouldn’t sit here and contemplate. He didn’t know if he had enough time in this world to be hesitant. Faunus didn’t want to deny her again if there was a possibility that they could be intimate like this.

He also worried he’d get caught up in the heat of the moment andtrylike an idiot.

Mayumi’s struggle to awaken was a tough battle, as it often was.

The way her body thrummed in satisfaction but also throbbed in mild soreness had her sighing contentedly into her pillow. She would have stayed in bed if she’d been wrapped in heat and the smell of lemongrass and the feeling of fur, but she rose when she felt none of those things.

She didn’t know how long she’d been asleep, but the fireplace was dying of heat, and the sun had gone, thrusting her into dimness.

I should let him know he can stay inside with me.That he could enter whenever he wished to.

Mayumi begrudgingly threw a fresh log into the fire and then started working her way into getting dressed. She was hungry and thirsty, and she wanted to find Faunus.

It’s been so long since I slept that well,she thought with a smile curling her lips.I don’t even need tea today.

She was bright-eyed, bushy-tailed, and... happy.

Mayumi was rarely happy.

I also haven’t come that hard in... Actually, I don’t think I’ve ever been that excited.She bit her bottom lip as she fetched herself a pear from her kitchen rack.

Just as she was about to take a bite, she pulled her mouth away so she could throw her head back and laugh.And his cock!
