Page 91 of A Soul to Touch

Or maybe it was because he didn’t want her to see the seam at his groin twitching and clenching because of her touches. The fur dipped inwards at that line. If she’d seen him without pants on to begin with, she may have already realised he had genitalia before he’d revealed so.

“You asked what I meant by these lands,” she started, finally getting around to answering him. “My family came to Austrális over three hundred years ago by the sea. They were samurai for one of the daimyo, a land owning, highly influential, feudal lord family, which were approved to trade outside of their country. The Sakuko policy prohibited most foreign contacts except for a very rare few who had adequate reasons.”

Mayumi started washing around his hips, making sure she scrubbed hardest here. A human would have been stumbling, but Faunus was completely still, unaffected by her strength. She looked up to find his head was bent down and to the side to watch her.

“Since my forefathers were samurai, military nobles, they were given rights to travel with the daimyo as protection under the will of the emperor.” She started lowering herself so she could wash his chunky, thick, muscular thighs. “They stepped foot on these lands and then became stuck here when the Demons came. Ships were overrun, and the chaos caused many of them to sink under peoples’ fear and desperation to escape. Some were also spiteful if they weren’t granted access, so theywent out of their way to sink any ship they could. There are Demons in the sea, so communication to other lands is almost non-existent, but from what we have heard, they are facing them as well.”

Then Mayumi let out a long expire as she stood. She eyed his soapy body, seeing that his fur was twirled and disturbed.

“I have bad news for you,” she grumbled. “You’re going to have to lower your body all the way to your neck to rinse off.”

She almost laughed when his entire body went rigid. Instead, she reached her hands up to lay them on his shoulders, trying to pull him down.

“I’ll give you a kiss if you’re a good boy.”

A light growl emitted from his chest. “That is not enough of a reward.”

Her lips parted open in disbelief. “Then what would be?”

“Nothing,”he bit, his orbs flashing red as he lowered himself. They began to turn white when the water was up to his chest.

So white shows either his worry or fear.

His fangs parted as he gave distressed huffs when the water was up to his jaw. He lifted his head to make sure none of the bone of his skull got wet.

Mayumi joined him and started rubbing his body down to help him rinse. When she stood, so did he.

Then he turned so he could flee the water.

“Wait!” she cried, grabbing his long tail and pulling it. “I need to wash your back.”

“No, I am done. I have been cleaned of my seed as you have asked of me.”

She fell forward through the water when he jumped out, his soaked tail slippery under her grasp. The wet slap of his feet against the ground was loud when he landed.

Mayumi leaned over the rocky bath wall with a pout. “I was hoping you’d wash mine, though.”

Crouching down and stretching with one of his legs back and the opposing hand forward, Faunus shook his body. Water sprayed everywhere, hitting her face, the ground, and even the awning covering next to the bath.

“Wash your own damn body,” Faunus growled.

Despite shaking much of the water off, his body still appeared like a dunked cat. His fur was sagging and dripping. He walked away with his long tail swishing, obviously sulking, while continuing to shake his body to rid himself of more.

Mayumi eyed the two towels she’d brought out for them sitting next to the bath. She gave them a glower.

He drenched them!

Mayumi swayed side-to-side as she slightly bounced, her mighty steed between her thighs trudging through the dense forest. The smell of cedar and fir trees was fresh with the cold dampness that came from winter.

The Earth was mostly quiet except for the odd bird call, the rustling of leaves, and her steed’s large, heavy footsteps creaking and crunching in the snow. There were also their accompanying breaths, hers much softer and calmer.

Faunus’ heat between her thighs, against her arse and hands, helped to keep the worst of the chill away from her body. He was ferrying much on his back since she’d gotten him to take her to the village, and they were already on their way back.

Coming out of Colt’s Outpost, Mayumi had struggled to carry everything into the forest to give to Faunus – who had been hiding. She didn’t want to go back for as long as she could, weeks even. Though that was doubtful as her quicker perishables would wither.

This is so much easier with him.

She was riding his back because it was quicker and also because she was lazy. It was even better since he could carry allher supplies.
