Francene Allgood lay in her warm bath, rose petals floating in the water, the soft glow of candle light illuminating her creamy yellow fur. Soft jazz playing in the background.

“Mmmm” she sighed “Oh Max...” she trilled as her fingers played over her velvety lips “touch me. Pinch my nipples.” she moaned as her left hand cupped her diminutive 'B' cup, finger and thumb pinching the stiff bud as the fingers of her right hand worked their way into her depths. As she slowly rocked her hips in the rose scented water. “Oh Yes, I love you Max, slide into me... I want to feel you deep in me... Right there oh, oh, Yessss.” the mouse moaned in her fantasy as the waves of her orgasm washed over her, the vision of her beloved boss Max Brierwood floated in her mind as he made love to her in his own special way as he had every Friday night for the last three years.

Reviewing her notes Max had a good idea where to proceed. Piper had gone back to her place and brought some fun outfits to try on for the galleries. When she returned he had her fill out copies of the paperwork he had gotten from the adult entertainment studios, a slightly different set of model releases.

The first set had been in the other studio in a classic Southern belle outfit with the lace parasol. The one with her appearing to read a book was shot with a green screen, Max showed her the magic of Photography by replacing the background with a bucolic Southern scene with a plantation mansion in the background and a millpond in between.

“Mah Gawd, Shug!” Piper exclaimed. “ That looks like mah family holdings! This could have been taken at the magnolia festival!”

“Glad you like it, this first set is what I like to call a classic portrait gallery. I am sure you ran across some of those during your research.” Max asked, Piper nodded.

“They were listed under 'Cosplay' but they nevah looked This good, Shug.”

That's because they didn't pay attention to lighting, or the minor details that make All the difference. Such as having an Authentic southern Belle, who knows just how to pose.”

“Oh, don't remind me Shug, I had years of 'ladies training classes' to act just like a proper southern Belle; how to sit, how to act, walking around with a book on mah head but I'm glad of it naow iffin it makes these bettah than what's out there.” and looking at the photos she had to agree, the ones taken at the dressing table were erotic, yet tasteful as well.

The next set was in what Piper called her 'Frillys.' Petticoats and camisole, guarders and all the erotically tastefully naughty things ladies wore that were not meant for public display, yet showed off just how deliciously sexy this southern belle truly was.

Stripping down to her fur she pulled on one of Max's white Dress shirts and loosely tied one of his red power ties around her neck.

“How does this look?” she asked resting her paws on her hips accentuating her curves.

“My God that is incredibly Sexy, let's do a set with this.” Max said and Piper took up a position next to the lace canopy bed.

“Turn your back to the camera and look over your shoulder seemingly pleasantly surprised at seeing someone in your bedroom.” Max instructed.

>FOOM<

“Now, one foot on the mattress, leg at a 90 degree angle with one hand holding the post. Your other hand tousling your hair showing off your dark socks and gloves...Perfect! So damn hot!”

>FOOMP <

“Oh yeah, very sexy. Now turn slightly, rest your knee on the edge of the bed place your hand on your hip...”

>FOOMP<

“Perfect! Gods, you are such a sexy beast!” Max chuckled watching Piper play to the camera.

“Thank you Shug, This is Rally Fun!” The Raccoon churred arching her back, and cupping a breast through the mans shirt.

>FOOMP<

“That's it Piper, Play to the camera, show off Just how Sexy my Georgia Peach truly IS!” Max encouraged and Piper Reveled in it. Kneeling on the bed, one arm under her breasts the other on her hip accentuating her curves.

>FOOMP<

The next, with both hands behind her head, paws wrapped in her auburn trusses as they cascaded like a halo around her.

>FOOMP <

Both paws cupping her breasts, head slightly down giving the camera a smolderingly sexy gaze that said in no uncertain terms just what this morph wanted to do to the viewer.

>FOOMP<

Unbuttoning the shirt halfway down showing off her creamy tan chest fur and the swell of her breasts, one paw sliding to cover her crotch, the other over her muzzle as if caught doing something naughty. With a look of guilty shock, yet incredibly inviting at the same time, her stiff nipples marking the swell of her breasts.

>FOOMP<

“Okay, let's slide one shoulder of the shirt about half way down your arm... turn slightly, look to your left, that's it,...

>FOOMP<

“Now bring the other side even, that shows off your cleavage perfectly, naughty smile...”

>** FOOMP ***<*

“Gods love, this is so amazingly Hot! For the next shot, unbutton the shirt, let it show off that lovely creamy fur and that the carpet matches the drapes, place your paws upright on your thighs...”

“Ooh, like mah Submission pose?” Piper asked tilting her head, a wicked grin splitting her muzzle.

>FOOMP<

“Yes! Gods, you are drop dead sexy my Love Bandit!” Max Enthused as she got into position.

“Oh, Oh Yes, Right there, Perfect! Head down slightly, and look into the camera...

>** FOOMP ***<*

“Perfect! Now reach in, cup a breast looking down to admire that creamy globe show it off proudly, oh lovely!”

>FOOMP<

“Now offer those lovely Tits to the camera!” Max directed, Piper smiled warmly cupping both creamy tan furred C cups arching her back slightly...

>FOOMP<

And that makes the third set. Come take a look at these.” Max grinned transferring them to the server to display on the eight by ten monitor.

“This is evah so much Fun and...Oh Lordy you are an absolute Wizard with that camera of yours, master Max! Look how amazing I look!” the Raccoon exclaimed as her photos displayed.

“They look just as good as the ones on some of those sites, and a darnd sight Bettah! because You suh, are a professional. And this is so much Fun!”she laughed musically.

“Good, I am glad you are enjoying yourself. You have done such a good job I'd like to reward you with a little something...” he said reaching into his pocket and removing a small rectangular box, handing it to Piper.

Opening it she beheld a two inch wide gold heart shaped pendant on a wide flat gold chain. Reading the inscription she shrieked with joy!

“Master Max's Love Bandit!” she squealed. Leaping into his arms kissing him fervently.

“Thank you-Thank You-Thank you! Oh Master! Put it on me, Put it on me, Put it on me!” she said kneeling before the human and sweeping her auburn trusses from her neck as he secured the clasp in place. The pendent nestled in the hollow of her throat, gleaming for all the world to see.

“By Mah own declaration, by the ancient Rites of Sexual Conquest. I, Piper, Delilah, Breckenridge, am yours for Evah, Master Max.” Piper vowed. “May I be worthy of the honor you have bestowed upon me. From this moment on, mah Life is yours, to do with as you please.” she smiled up at him, love radiating from her very soul.

“Piper. My god, you really went the whole nine yards, didn't you?” Max asked drawing the Raccoon to her feet.

“Sorry master Max, but I had to be true to mah heart. Thinking on what it meant ta me I had ta be honest, for I can not live a lie. Hope you can accept me now that you know what it truly means ta me.” Piper sighed hugging her human tight.

Max sighed. Piper braced herself for his rejection of her heartfelt declaration.

“My sweet Georgia peach, if this is the way you truly feel, deep down in your soul, than I have no choice but to accept your terms: Welcome to the house of Brierwood.”

Piper looked up at him in wide-eyed shock.

“While you were out gathering a few things, I looked up some historic precedents for the Rites, and in the old days when a declaration like yours was freely given, the master took the new conquest into his household. Given the depth of your dedication I felt it was only right.” Max said caressing her jawline.

Piper burst into tears.

“”What the? Piper, did I say something wrong?” Max asked totally confused by her reaction.

“No, Shug.” she sniffled. “You said _ everythang _ Right! I'm overwhelmed with happiness! I thought you couldn't understand just how important this is to lil old me, hell I didn't quite understand it mahself tel I made Mah declaration, and then I thought I'd gone way too far, but.. But you, it is such an unbelievable honor to be in your service master!” the Raccoon shook her head sobbing with relief and joy and a hundred other emotions she could not give voice to, Max just held her until her catharses passed.

“Oh Lordy, I honestly nevah thought it could be like this, ya know, ya play at it and then it comes and whups ya upside the head and Wham! Mah mama always warned me bout taking the rites too lightly, but I figured she didn't know what she was talking bout. I mean this is the modern age! And the Rites is just a holdover from a bygone era... But damn if the roots of tradition don't run deep!”

“Okay, let's break for lunch, go for a walk and let you regain some perspective. I was up late into the night thinking about what this meant to me, and being my first morph, I wasn't sure just how serious a thing it would be for you. I don't want you to ever think I will keep you against your will. You are still as free as you wish to be. By taking you into my household that makes you like family. Oh gawd, in that context does loving you equate to incest now?” Max asked with a bark of laughter.

“ I'm from the south, Shug so no worrys there darlin.” she chittered musically. “I may not be your wife, shug. But I ken do almost anything a wife ken fer ya iffin you wish. Cook and clean and love you every night and cuddle close, but I don't think I ken be mother for yer kids, we're just not built that way. So nearly everything, iffin you'd find that acceptable.” she paused as a shadow passed over her features “Either way, this body is yours to use as you see fit, and iffin last night was any example, of the kind of loving we can share, we seem to enjoy each others intimate company.” she smiled. “And it would be no hardship loving you for the rest of mah life, iffin you'd have me fill that role for you...Master?” the Raccoon hazarded ducking her head.

“So you are saying that you would be willing to be my bed mate, and even Bear my children if it were possible? And devote the rest of your life to me?” Max asked. Piper paused a moment then nodded.

“Yes master Max, I would. I dreamed of it last night after that wonderfully loving session. I found mahself with child, I was so happy. Even though it's not possible, it was still a wonderful dream. So if you only wanted to use me for sex, I'd still count myself as content. But I hope we can be more?”

Max nodded. “We can be more, Piper. I love your cooking, love having you around, and up to this point I have always contracted out my passions whenever I felt the need. So having you here makes that unnecessary. And I never thought I'd say this, but... I absolutely Love, fucking a morph!” he winked with a smile. “ I never thought I would, but you are amazing! and in my book anyone who calls it bestiality can go fuck themselves, morphs are an equal part of this society despite what some folks think. So what we do in the privacy of my own home is none of the world's business.”

“Then, as your willing conquest, I shall do everything within mah ability to see to your contentment, and if mah adult entertainment career pleases you, than I shall do mah best to be a star. Iffin gaining fame and fortune brings honor to your house, that is what I shall do.” His Raccoon declared.

“Piper, you should only do this if it is something You wish to do for yourself.” Max admonished.

“ I know, and it is. It's just, I ken see our paths are aligned this is something you have wanted to try, and having learned about it I have as well so in this endeavor we are once again united. Now my goal is no longer just for my self. But to honor mah master. You really don't look comfortable with me callin you master, are ya Maxie?” Piper asked playfully.

“Well... Not really. It's not something I have ever really identified myself with. But I can see it holds great significance for you, so I guess I can get used to it.” Max smiled placing his hand between her ears and fozzling Pipers hair. She churred in pleasure at his touch.

“Man I tell ya, it really changes yer perspective once ya make it official. Mah whole world view changed from being alone in the world, makein what I ken of it. To being part of something bigger, like landing the perfect job for life, it gives me reason to become the best I ken at whatever task my master sets for me. It is pride and pleasure and duty to a higher calling. I could never understand it from the outside, but now that I am in the thick of it, there is a gen-u-wine contentment here. Especially with a wonderful master.”

“Well I also read that historically, the conquest should be resoundingly flogged to assure her submission. Ever been flogged, Piper?” Max asked a wicked smile drew itself across his face.

“Uh... no-suh, been switched a time or three back home, when missbehavin', but flogged? N_o-suh. You ain't fixin ta beat on me now, are you..._Master?” Piper asked with a quavering voice.

“Well...ya never know, ya might come to like it.” Max mused, wagging his eyebrows.

“Eep” Piper squeaked wide-eyed. Max chuckled.

“Perhaps we can look into that later. For right now let's get you dressed and go have some lunch. As my ...What should I call you anyway? Aside from M __aster Max's L_ ove_ Bandit?”

“Your conquest? Your house mate? Ummm, your Assistant?” Piper suggested.

“All good titles, perhaps assistant or house mate would work for public consumption. I like assistant, it sounds more official. We can reserve conquest and love bandit for more casual situations.” Max decided, Piper nodded in agreement.

“ I like the idea of being your 'assistant'; For I can assist you with all manor of things, from photography, to easing your pent up sexual tensions, to keeping you warm at night.” Piper trilled a she went over her outfits settling on a blue pleated mid thigh skirt and a short sleeved peach silk blouse and sandals to match.

“What would you like for lunch, Piper, anything come to mind?” Max inquired as they stood in front of his studio on the warm sunny Saturday in Seattle.

This may sound odd, bein' a southern Belle like I am, but evah since comin ta Seattle I've developed a real hankerin for...Sushi! Iffin y'all can believe it?” Piper exclaimed. Max grinned.

“Well than I know just the place to go. Have you ever been to Kimono in Northgate?” Max asked Leading his Raccoon around the back of the building to his off street parking area.

“Can't say that I have, Shug. Sounds authentic though.” Piper smiled as Max held the passenger side door of his company car. The drive over to Northgate was pleasant and the traffic was light.

Kimono, was a very classic Japanese restaurant. it always felt to Max as if it had been plucked from the island nation and deposited in this shopping mall. The decor led one to believe that samurai would walk through the doorway at any minute. The hostess, a kimono clad Siamese cat bowed as they approached.

“Welcome back Mr. Max-san. Two for lunch today, yes?” the feline smiled giving the impression she held a secret.

“Hai, Aisatsu Kameko, Onegaishimasu.” They were shown to their table. Kameko handed them the menus bowing. “D?mo arigat? gozaimashita.” Max rattled off fluently

“ I didn't know you spoke the local lingo?” Piper said sounding very impressed

“You'd be amazed what you pick up around Seattle” Max grinned, would you like Saki or beer to go with your Sushi my dear?”

“What's good here?” she asked perusing the menu.

“Everything. I favor the maguro and unagi, this time of year the ama-ebi is very tasty, but I tend to let the itami-san decide what's best after I place my preferences, is there anything you Don't like?”

“Octopus, it's just too rubbery and weird.” Piper made a face.

“Okay then, is there anything you want to start off with, or are you feeling adventurous?” Max challenged.

“Well, I like the tuna on rice, and the California roll, but this place seems really authentic and I like to think I'm up for anything... Except Octopus.” the Raccoon grinned.

Wonderful, I'll take care of the first round and we can let the itamisan decide the rest, okay?” Max signaled and Kameko appeared with two tall cups of tea, Max rattled off their order along with two large flasks of Saki and he made sure to let them know 'No Tako' he pointed to his companion. The feline nodded with a giggle then hurried off to the large Grey feline behind the counter. He looked to Piper like a retired Samurai with his grim expression and headband covered in japanese characters. At seeing Max he smiled and gave a single nod and went to work.

“That is Ichiro Takahara. One of the best itamisan on the west coast. He trained from the age of eight in Japan for over forty years. He has the distinction of holding one of only a dozen licenses to prepare fugu outside of Japan. You, my dear, are in for a treat.” Max grinned.

When the first two geta of sushi arrived, Max's held glistening red Maguro, succulent Unagi, and Ama-ebi, translucent raw sweet shrimp with the tail tip on. There were four of each, Max clapped his hands together and gave a slight bow to the itami-san. Piper's wooden platform held a california roll, some maguro and a rainbow roll. The Raccoon was delighted looking over to the feline applauding, he gave a grunt and slight nod with just the hint of a smile on his stern muzzle.

The Saki was delivered and poured. Piper had never known there were this many different and tasty varieties of sushi available to her, she even tried one of Max's shrimp and almost swooned in delight.

Two hours later she floated out of the restaurant on one of the most incredible sushi glows she had ever experienced.

“ I Nevah knew Sushi could be that good! The stuff I have been calling sushi was like Plastic compared to this stuff. Not that it wasn't tasty, but I nevah knew it could be That Amazing. I have even tried mah paw at making it at home, but there was no way it could be compared to what I just experienced.”

“That is what over forty years of professional training will get you. I am so glad you enjoyed your adventure.

“ I'll say, that was unbelievable, what now good sir?

“Well, I guess that depends on you hon. As my 'Conquest' do you move in with me now, or are you just at my beck and call?”

“Oh... well...Gosh, Shug, I hadn't thought bout that, Traditionally I am now yours ta do with me as you please, like I said I ken do most of your wifely duties iffin you'd want me to, but I do live just north of the studio so in that respect I ken be there when y'all'd need me. but, I...” The Raccoon lowered her head Max drew her to a bench, to sort out her thoughts.

“First off... let me reiterate, you are as free as you wish to be, that means I am Not expecting you to give up your independence, just because I have laid claim to you. And I think we would both agree you were very well laid, Yes?” Max asked with a grin which caused Piper to grin with a nod.

“What are Your honest expectations in this situation hon?” Max asked placing a hand on her shoulder. Piper sighed.

“ I don't know, I was kinda figuring on taking care of you. it's not that I had much to do outside of work which wasn't that fulfilling or rewarding and mah lil studio is just a place ta sleep. I realized when I went back to grab a few things, it is pretty lonely compared to what I have now. Or thought I had?” she sniffed blinking back tears.

“Oh Piper... sweety... if this is what you want, like I said, I accept your terms. You are my “Assistant” after all. And my Conquest, and my Sweet Georgia Peach, and my love bandit most of all.”

Piper turned and hugged him tightly.

On the drive back they stopped by Piper's studio apartment so she could collect a few things, spices mostly and a few creature comforts. It condensed down to two suitcases and a cardboard box.

“Not much to show for an independent life, is it Shug?” Piper asked.

“One should never place their value on the amount of possessions they own.” Max advised driving them home.

Once back at the studio Max set his Raccoon up in the modest 'guest room' he had up to this point been using for storage. It contained a futon couch, dresser, small writing desk and end-table/nightstand.

“Not Fancy but livable, Thanks Shug, it will serve me well. It's cozy and I like that.”

Well than lets get you settled in and we can discuss the other types of assistance you can be to me.” Max instructed taking her back down stares to the studio and showing the Raccoon exactly what a photographer's assistant could do.

“Maxie, are you happy with me?” Piper asked that evening as she was preparing dinner, a nice chicken stir-fry.

“Sure hon, so far so good. You seem to pick up just what it means to be my professional assistant, you are fun to photograph, your company is very welcome and it's kinda nice to have someone to sleep with. Living with a morph is a new experience for me, and we can talk. Which to me is a real plus.”

Max came up behind her reaching around to cup her breasts and massage her rather impressive nipples as they stiffened at his touch. Piper trilled at his attentions, leaning back into him enjoying his quick fondle.

“Don't you have a receptionist as well?” Piper asked as she dished up two bowls of fragrant food.

“Indeed I do. Franny Allgood, that mouse is a godsend, let me tell you. She really keeps the place humming along. I can't wait to introduce you to her.” Max said fondly.

“You don't think she would resent me being here with you, do you Shug?” the Raccoon asked as they sat down to eat.

“I don't see why she should? We are great friends she's one of the sweetest mice I have ever had the pleasure of working with, as a matter of fact, she was the first morph to walk through my doors. In the three years she has worked for me we have become great friends; she's helpful, and efficient and knows how to brew a proper pot of tea! I couldn't run the place without her.” Max enthused.

“So... You two have never...” Piper hedged.

“Never what? I seriously never thought of it, and I doubt she'd be interested in me. We are friends. She's had some bad experiences with humans so I seriously doubt there would be any interest to be more than just friends. We pal around, I consider her a really good friend. Ya know?”

“Well than, I look forward ta meeting this friend of yours.” Piper nodded seeming satisfied.
