"Just keep your pants on, Nick, you'll get your feed," a golden ram chuckled. He wiped beads of sweat from his forehead, brushing his fingers clean on his dungarees.

The dark brown stallion tossed his head and nickered impatiently as Aesc stabbed his pitchfork into a pile of feed. Aesc filled the feeder until it was nearly overflowing before he moved on to the other corral. It was a hot day, and he was grateful to be nearly finished with his afternoon chores. As he was busy filling another feeder, he felt a firm nudge at his waist. A cream-colored ram bleated at him in greeting, gently butting him again.

Aesc smiled warmly and reached down to pet the small ram, ruffling tufts of white fur a little bit. "Well, hello to you too."

The ram didn't seem satisfied with the gentle touch. He pushed more insistently at Aesc, toppling the anthro ram. Aesc let out a surprised bleat of his own as he fell into the muddy earth by the feeder, staining his dungarees in the mire. His fingers sank into the mud as he pushed himself back up, grumbling softly. He tried to brush the excess mud off his clothes, but it clung to him stubbornly.

"Looks like someone hasn't learned their place yet," Aesc muttered, shooing the ram away as he returned to his duties. "I'll deal with you later."

As Aesc finished feeding the animals, he noticed a lone figure walking up the long dirt road that stretched out over the countryside. His farm was the only one for miles, surrounded by empty plots that hadn't yet been claimed. Vehicles rarely passed by, leaving him to wonder why someone would be out walking. He kept an eye on the figure as he strolled back to his single-story home, checking the gates to ensure they were secured.

While the ram made his way across the yard surrounding his house, the walking stranger paused. A white rat gazed toward the ram's home, surveying his surroundings in a moment of consideration. He adjusted a backpack on his shoulder as he turned, making his way up the dusty driveway toward Aesc's home. He hadn't spotted the ram yet, who was casually perched against a fence at the edge of his yard.

Tennis shoes kicked up small puffs of dust as the rat approached the ram's small country home, looking rather anxious. The rat's tail flicked slowly to either side as he walked, a stuffed travel pack bouncing against his back. Aesc waited until the rodent was nearly at the porch of his house to call out to him.

"You look a little lost, stranger."

The rat visibly jumped, nearly falling over from the start. His head jerked about to identify the source before his eyes fell upon the gold-fleeced ram that was perched against a wood fence. He paused a moment to scan over the male, debating whether to approach or retreat and continue down the dirt road. A soft rumble in his belly reminded him that he hadn't had a decent meal beyond snacks in some time, though. That, combined with a dull ache in his legs, prompted him to approach.

"Something I can do for you?" Aesc inquired as the snowy rat stepped up to him.

"Uh, maybe," the slightly pudgy male replied quietly. "I've been walking for a while, and was wondering how far it is to the next town?"

The ram chuckled. "You've got a long walk head of you still. You probably wouldn't make it before nightfall, and you don't want to be out on a dark country road that late."

The rat's ears flattened noticeably at this bit of information. "Do you know anywhere along the way that I could stop for the night?"

Aesc taped his chin thoughtfully. "Well, there's a few ranches between here and town, but no motels in the area. I think I could lend you a hand, though."

The male perked up at the suggestion. "What sort of help? I'd really appreciate it."

"Well, I'm sure I could give you a warm bed for the evening," Aesc replied, a knowing grin spreading subtly over his lips. "But you're gonna have to work to earn it."

The rat groaned softly, but the prospect of work was better than walking in the dark. "What do I need to do?"

"Well, I could use some help around the farm. There's always plenty to do, and I'd never say no to a willing body."

The ram's eyes inspected the rat, scrutinizing him with a smile that made the rodent feel a little intimidated. He tried to shrug off the feeling as he adjusted his backpack, pondering the offer. His legs were sore and he wanted to rest, but the alternative was more walking, and possibly sleeping under the stars if he couldn't find a place to stay.

"Don't think I really have a choice, here. All I ask is a bed for the evening, maybe a bite to eat, and I'll be out of your hair by sunrise."

Aesc pushed himself away from the fence, gesturing to his small home. "Follow me, then. You can catch a breather before we put you to work."

The ram stole a quick glance over the rat's body as he brushed past him, strolling toward the front door. Indeed, he would certainly be able to provide the rat with a warm bed for the evening, but he certainly wouldn't be leaving by sunrise...

The white rat fidgeted in the dungarees that Aesc had provided him with. They were slightly baggy on him, prompting him to adjust them periodically. He followed the ram to the stables, his whiskers flicking as he caught the scent of animals inside.

"I don't want to wear you out, so I'll give you an easy job for now," Aesc said as he pulled open the barn door. "The stables need to be swept out and cleaned. Most of the herd are out in the fields, but the stalls with animals were cleaned recently, so don't bother with them."

"Okay, and what should I do after that?" the rat asked.

"Just come find me. I'll be out in the pasture."

Aesc handed the rat a rake and a broom, then pointed out the hose in the corner. "Feel free to wander around and get to know the animals a bit while you're working, but watch out for Nick. He gets a bit frisky sometimes."

The rat nodded, his ears perking up a bit as he heard a soft nicker. He turned to watch the ram depart, shutting the barn door behind him. It clattered against the hinges, bits of straw settling to the floor. The rat shrugged lightly as he stepped to the nearest empty stall and unlatched the door, pushing it open.

"Well, at least it's easy work," he said to himself as he began to sweep bits of straw, grass and dirt out of the empty enclosure.

As he moved from one stall to the next, he noticed that the barn was much warmer than he'd originally thought. He was already sweating, bits of straw clinging to his fur in places. The sweat made the dust settle into his pelt, gradually darkening it from a white sheen to dull light brown in places. His pink tail slowly flicked behind him as he worked, his round ears occasionally perking up whenever an animal cried out.

When the empty stalls were swept, the rat retrieved the hose and turned on the water. He squeezed the trigger to let loose a stream of water that sprayed the ground immediately in front of him, kicking up a flurry of muddy droplets that splattered his fur. He dropped the hose in alarm to shield himself from the spray, his pants clinging to his legs as they absorbed the muddy water.

Feeling rather flustered, the rat bent down to pick the sprayer up once more. He moved to the nearest stall and aimed the nozzle at the farthest corner, squeezing the trigger again. He was relieved to be beyond the splash this time, rinsing the floor of the stall until it was spotless. A cool mist rose from the stalls as he washed them, fighting off the muggy air of the barn. As he worked, however, he realized that his fur was quickly becoming matted, clinging to his body in muddy wet clumps. He would need a long shower at the end of the day.

The rat perked up when he heard the barn door rattle. He peered over his shoulder, lowering the hose when he saw the familiar ram approaching with two glasses of iced tea. Aesc chuckled at the sight of the rodent, holding up one of the glasses.

"Looks like you've been hard at work. Don't let that sprayer give you any lip, though. If it kicks back at you, just turn it down a little."

The rodent's ears went a noticeably redder shade. He hadn't thought to turn down the water, choosing instead spray from a distance. He reached out, plucking the glass from the ram's fingers. Aesc turned and bent down to shut off the water, prompting the rat to hang the hose back up.

"So, I don't think I got your name earlier," Aesc said after a long swallow of tea.

"Oh! I'm Ellis," the rat replied sheepishly. He felt embarrassed that he hadn't even offered his name to the ram previously, considering that he would be spending the night with him.

The ram nodded, his eyes sneaking over the rat's body as he took another drink of his chilled tea. "Pleased to meet you, Ellis. I'm Aesc. So, what brings you out this way? You're a long way from anywhere."

The rat lowered his glass, his tail slowly flicking back and forth. "Well, I kinda got into a tough spot, and living in a small backwards town wasn't really getting me anywhere, so I'm looking for a fresh start."

"A fresh start is nice sometimes," Aesc chuckled. "That's how I ended up here. Can't say the farm life is for everyone, but it's worked out nicely for me. If you don't mind my asking, what made you decide to leave?"

The rat glanced down at himself, silently agreeing with the ram's observation about farm work. "Dad didn't really like that I wasn't interested in taking over his business, so he practically kicked me out."

"That seems a bit extreme. Was that the only reason?"

The rat shuffled his feet. He felt oddly comfortable sharing bits of information with the ram that he normally preferred to keep under wraps. "Well...there's that, and he...kinda caught me in bed with one of my best friends."

Aesc quirked an eyebrow at this. "That'd do it. Was she worth it, at least?"

Ellis blushed deeply. "Well...it wasn't exactly a 'she.'"

A grin crept up at the corners of the ram's lips at this information. "Aha. Didn't take you for the sort that'd be into that kinda thing."

The rat nodded softly, taking a long drink from his tea. "I guess I've just learned to hide it really well, living with my dad. He never seemed to approve of anything I did."

Aesc felt a bit sorry for the rodent. He slid closer and eased an arm around the rat, feeling him tense up at the friendly gesture. Despite how open Ellis was being, he still felt hesitant to allow the ram so close. He didn't pull away, however, letting his slender body settle in against Aesc, smearing a bit of mud into Aesc's fluff in the process.

"So, do you plan to keep in contact with your family once you find your niche?"

The rat shook his head immediately. "Hell no. Dad made it clear that he wanted nothing to do with me, so I'm going to hold him to that. Good riddance to him, too."

Aesc hugged the rat gently, his fingers idly kneading at his side. "Well, at least you're handling it well. It's never easy to leave everything behind and start a new life."

Ellis seemed to be growing more comfortable with the ram's touch. He twisted slightly, clutching the mostly empty glass between bare pink paws as he settled in closer to Aesc. He wasn't sure if the ram was hitting on him, or genuinely concerned about his well-being. He didn't notice Aesc's paw slipping lower as he pondered, traveling slowly toward his hip. A surprised squeak escaped his throat when the ram gave his hip a playful squeeze, burying his muzzle against Aesc's muddy chest to hide his face.

"You're not the first to wander through here, you know. I'm always more than happy to lend a hand where I can. I don't ask much in return."

Aesc's fingers trailed down once more, lightly caressing over the rat's hip. He considered what the rat had told him thus far; running away from home, not on good terms with family...it was an opportunity that he didn't want to pass up.

"The rat's hip pressed lightly against the ram's fingers as he pulled himself away from Aesc, gazing up at the taller male to gaze into his deep blue eyes. He lost himself in the ram's gaze for several seconds before he snapped back to attention.

"Are you always this friendly with new faces?"

Aesc chuckled. "Only the ones that I think are really cute." His reply was accompanied by a firm squeeze to the rat's backside that made the rodent squeak.

"W-well..." Ellis stuttered for a moment to form a complete thought. He hadn't expected to be receiving this kind of attention.

Aesc chuckled as he leaned down, nuzzling the male lightly between the ears. "What's the matter, hun? Cat got your tongue?"

The ram's other paw joined his first, one resting on each cheek of the rat's soft rump. His fingers gently tugged against it, pulling the rat against his body with a suggestive hip bump. He nuzzled through the smaller male's fur, giving an occasional lick. The rat seemed even more flustered by his actions, his ears glowing red. Despite the rodent's embarrassment, though, Aesc could feel a bulge beginning to press through the rat's dungarees.

Ellis quickly became aware of his growing excitement, trying to keep space between Aesc's hips and his own. Another firm tug from the ram's fingers pressed him snug against the taller male, however, pinning an erect bulge against Ellis's belly. He shivered at the sensation and couldn't resist gently grinding his hips against the ram. Taking this as a sign of eagerness, Aesc squeezed his arm around the rat's waist and lifted him off his feet. He carried the slender male to the nearest stall, pushing him up against a wall playfully.

"Seems like someone's getting excited," Aesc chuckled, slipping a paw between them to cup the bulge in the rat's clothing.

Ellis blushed deeply, but didn't reply. His only answer was a gentle push against the ram's fingers as they traced over the distinct rise in his dungarees. Aesc gave the rat's erection a soft squeeze, licking his lips as he leaned in and nibbled one of his pink ears. The male squirmed with a soft whine, his thin ears being especially sensitive. As Aesc continued to nibble, his free hand slid up to snap one of the shoulder buttons on the rat's clothing. When the other button was undone, the rodent's hands immediately came up to prevent his dungarees from falling off.

"Just relax, hun. Can't do anything fun if you're fully dressed, can we?" the ram chuckled.

Ellis hesitated for a moment, his fingers lightly clenching around the top of his dungarees before he released them. The baggy overalls slid down easily, bunching up around the rat's ankles. His cheeks flushed as he stood before the ram in a plain white shirt and grey boxers, which did little to conceal the modest bulge. His t-shirt was hanging over the waistband of his boxers, hiding a peeking tip.

The rat tensed up slightly when he felt the ram's fingers brush over that distinct bulge, a shaky groan escaping his lips. His arms eased around Aesc's shoulders despite his bashfulness, grinding his hips gently into the ram's explorative fingers. His shaft pulsed lightly at the caress, prompting Aesc to wrap his fingers around it and give a soft squeeze. The rat's knees nearly buckled at the direct contact, but an arm looped around his waist to keep him on his feet.

"Let's get a bit cozier, shall we?" Aesc suggested.

The ram reached up and pulled a blanket down from the wall, which was normally used to drape over the animals during cold weather. He folded it over itself to form a makeshift mattress, smiling at Ellis as he stood upright again.

"Make yourself comfortable," he said, gesturing to the blanket.

The rat blushed lightly, kneeling down in front of Aesc on the blanket. As he moved to get into a comfortable sitting position, however, Aesc stopped him. He gave the ram a puzzled look, his tail slowly flicking.

"Change your mind?"

Aesc nodded. "For the moment, just stay where you are. I think it suits you better."

Ellis wondered what the ram meant by that as Aesc reached up to unbutton his dungarees. He fidgeted on the blanket, resisting the urge to fondle himself. As the ram's dungarees were removed, Ellis was greeted with the scent of the ram's musk, heavy from a hard day's work. Aesc tossed his overalls aside, standing before the rat in a t-shirt and boxers, similar to what Ellis was wearing. Aesc was quick to relieve himself of his boxers, exposing a full erection.

It immediately became clear to Ellis why Aesc had requested he remain in a kneeling position. The ram's member was at a perfect level for him, pulsing invitingly to the rodent. Ellis licked his lips gently, his mouth suddenly dry. He was hesitant to accept the blatant offer, but the scent of the ram's arousal was calling to him. The beige-colored flesh bounced gently in time with Aesc's heart, drawing the rat closer.

"Go on, sweetie. Have a taste," Aesc purred, reaching out to lightly cradle the rat's cheek.

Ellis's cheeks glowed with a burning blush, but he slowly leaned forward. The scent of Aesc's musky groin grew stronger in his nose as he paused just shy of the throbbing shaft. The rams fingers slid down, gently scratching the rat behind the ears before his fingers gently circled the base of his length. He pointed his shaft forward, squeezing softly over the base as the rat stared at it. Licking his lips hesitantly, Ellis moved closer and gave the tip an experimental lick.

It was clear by his actions that Ellis was inexperienced. Aesc suspected that the walk-in he'd mentioned earlier was his only sexual encounter. He was all too happy to coax the rodent along, however. His free paw reached up to gently nudge the back of the rat's head, encouraging him to continue. Ellis squeaked at the prompting, but followed the ram's motion. He licked over the tip again and, finding the taste rather inviting, dragged his tongue slowly along the underside of the ram's length.

Aesc groaned approvingly as the rat began to eagerly lap over his shaft. The gentle attention brought a bead of slick fluid to the tip of Aesc's shaft, which was quickly flicked away by Ellis's tongue. The rat blinked momentarily at the salty musk, the licked over the tip again to get another taste. Ellis tugged his head softly, grinding his hips forward as a jolt of pleasure ran up his body.

"Give it a little suck, hun. You're gonna want me nice and slick for what I have planned."

The rat's ears went a deep red at the ram's words. He knew exactly what Aesc had in mind. He lapped softly over the tip again, then opened his lips and slid a few inches of Aesc's shaft into his muzzle. His eyes closed as he suckled gently over the ram's member, feeling it pulsing against his tongue. His paws rested on Aesc's hips for support as he leaned forward, taking in another inch.

The ram's ears perked as a wet slurp rose up from his lap, making him chuckle. He gently rocked his hips forward, feeling the tip of his length poke against the rat's throat. Ellis winced and nearly gagged, backing up immediately. He panted softly through his nose to recover, drooling wetly around Aesc's member.

"Just a little more," Aesc purred, grinding himself softly over the rat's lapping tongue.

Ellis caressed over the ram's thighs as he pushed down onto his shaft again, backing up immediately when he felt it poke against the back of his throat a second time. He slurped wetly over the length when he pulled back, prompting Aesc to give his scruff a soft tug.

"I think that's good enough," the ram chuckled, gazing down at the rat. The male's eyes rose to meet his, wondering what was next.

Ellis squeaked when Aesc gave his shoulders a push, ending up on his back on the soft blanket. He tried to push himself up, but the ram quickly moved down to pin his chest to the ground. Aesc grinned at the rat, leaning down and nuzzling his cheek.

"Just relax now, little rat, and let me take care of the rest."

The ram's fingers gently eased away from the male's body as he knelt before him. He admired the slender rat stretched out in front of him, his fingers tracing along his sides. He hooked the waistband of Ellis's boxers and gave them a soft tug, slipping them off the rat's hips in a smooth motion. Ellis reached down immediately to cover himself as an erect pink length sprang free. Aesc tossed the rodent's boxers aside, depositing them on top of their discarded dungarees.

Aesc smiled as he watched the nervous rodent conceal himself to maintain a small amount of modesty. He gently circled his fingers around Ellis's wrists, slowly easing them away from the rat's lap. The male resisted for a moment, but allowed Aesc to follow through with the motion. He pinned Ellis's bare pink paws above his head, leaving the rat's lower body exposed to him.

Ellis didn't say a word as the ram laid against him, feeling the male's slickened length grinding lightly into his soft fur. He gasped when Aesc's locks rubbed over his own erect shaft, eliciting a gentle rock from his hips. As much as he wanted to tease the rat, Aesc didn't want to waste any more time. He slid down several inches until the tip of his length brushed along the rat's fuzzy sac. He drew his hips back, groaning softly as the tip slid downward.

A shiver of anticipation rushed up Ellis's back when the ram's tip nestled itself against his fuzzy cleft. His thighs clenched gently, preventing Aesc from easing himself deeper for the moment. The ram growled quietly to him, grinding insistently against the rodent's fuzzy rump. As nervous as he was, however, Ellis allowed himself to relax, his thighs moving apart slightly.

Aesc grinned at the rat's willing relaxation. He gently eased his hips forward, the tip of his dripping length finding the rat's warm pucker. Ellis flexed briefly when he felt the nudge, but allowed the ram to continue. With another nudge, the tapered tip of Aesc's shaft pressed through the warm entrance, making the rat wince softly.

"Just relax, hun," Aesc purred to him. "I promise I'll be gentle."

The rodent nodded lightly, whimpering quietly as Aesc began to push himself inward. The ram's slickened length resisted for a moment, but once the rat's body unclenched, his shaft began to smoothly glide into the fleshy passage. Aesc groaned softly at the tightness that welcomed him. The rat was definitely new to this. The ram idly wondered if he was the first to claim Ellis like this as he paused a moment, feeling another firm squeeze over his length.

The ram's hips gently ground back and forth to help Ellis relax. The rat whined sweetly, rolling his hips against the ram's motions. Aesc pushed the last few inches of his length inside, nestling his lap against the rat's white rump. A soft squeak escaped Ellis's lips as he felt the tip pressing against his sensitive insides, pressing his thighs softly into Aesc's sides. The ram, encouraged by the soft nudge against his waist, drew his hips back slowly and pushed into the rat's body again.

Ellis bit his lower lip to muffle a groan. His first sexual encounter had been an awkward one, put to an abrupt halt by an unexpected walk-in from his father. The ram, however, radiated a certain confidence in the way he handled the situation. It was clear to Ellis that Aesc was experienced in this sort of activity. Perhaps it was this combination that had the rat so willing.

The ram's hips began to rock into the rodent's body at a slow, steady pace. His length slowly drew back, only to sink back into the heated depths. Aesc squeezed his fingers gently around the rat's wrists, reminding the rodent of his position. The only thing Ellis could do was wiggle his hips at the ram, which only encouraged Aesc's eager thrusts. As much as the ram wanted to stuff the rat silly, however, he maintained his gentle pace. His desire to draw the experience out, to allow the rat to enjoy himself, was greater.

Ellis tugged gently at the ram's fingers, trying to coax Aesc to release his wrists. He wanted to hug the male to himself, but the ram was preventing him. The ram distracted him by leaning in, pressing his lips against Ellis's in a gentle kiss. The rat's body tensed when their lips touched, his soft moans muffled by Aesc's muzzle. The ram continued to thrust gently into him as they kissed, picking up the pace somewhat.

The ram's hips began to move at a moderate pace, his length pulsing in the rat's warm passage. Ellis's eyes opened when Aesc pulled free of the passionate kiss. He found himself gazing into the ram's deep blue eyes, losing himself in them for a long moment. His mind seemed to slow to a crawl in that instant, feeling only the pleasure of the ram's shaft thrusting into his body. When Aesc broke eye contact Ellis blinked quickly, wondering what had just happened.

Ellis glanced downward, becoming aware of spreading warmth on his belly as the ram's thrusts became more frequent. He blushed when he realized that the soft fur on the ram's belly was caressing his shaft into near-perpetual dripping. His belly was a matted patch of fur, sticky with clear pre. With as much pleasure as he was experiencing, he wasn't sure he'd be able to hold on much longer.

The ram could feel the rat's body tensing around him as he buried himself in the warm rump again and again. Ellis was getting close to his peak. Aesc finally released the rat's wrists, but only long enough to pass one wrist to his other paw. He used one paw to keep the rat's paws down, while the other snuck down between the pair. He brushed his fingers over the sticky mess on Ellis's belly with a grin, getting his fingers slippery. The rat cried out when Aesc's slickened fingers wrapped around his length. The resulting clench caused Aesc to groan sharply and give a firm thrust into the rodent's tightened rump.

A flurry of quick, powerful thrusts made Ellis squirm with desire. He could feel the pressure building in his groin, nearing his release. The ram's fingers stroked back and forth slowly over his shaft, drawing a chorus of needy moans from the rat's lips. Aesc grinned as he watched the rodent shift and wiggle on the blanket, bunching it up beneath himself.

"Let it go, sweetie," Aesc purred, continuing to thrust quickly into the rat. "Make a mess of yourself for your ram."

The ram's words were like magic. Ellis's fingers clenched into fists, his muscles contracting as his mind exploded with passion. His shaft throbbed in Aesc's fingers, erupting with a burst of creamy spunk that was strong enough to soil the rat's chin and neck. His chest rose and fell quickly with rapid panting as he continued to empty himself onto his soft fur. The ram's quick thrusts milked his body as he came, encouraging the rodent to spill every drop.

Aesc didn't stop thrusting as the rat's climax began to taper off. He was still determined to reach his own peak, increasing his pace. By now, his quick thrusts were beginning to generate lewd slurps from the rat's backside. The ram was dripping continuously into the rat's backside, slickening his warm passage and allowing Aesc to make quick, smooth motions. Ellis felt like he was going to lose consciousness for a moment as the overwhelming pleasure overloaded his brain.

The ram's hips moved in a flurry of thrusts, stirring his passion as he felt himself quickly nearing his peak. The tightness of Elli's rump as a result of climax squeezed over Aesc's member perfectly. He closed his eyes and growled heavily, squeezing Ellis's wrists tightly with both paws once more as he worked himself up. Through the mental haze, Ellis could feel the tension building in the ram's body. He wanted to say something, but the heat of the moment preventing him from forming any words.

A deep bleat escaped the ram's throat as he reached his peak, his legs tensing powerfully. He rammed his length deep into the rat's body as his tip released the first stream of hot seed. The rodent groaned softly at the pleasant warmth that he felt spreading into his bowels as Aesc unloaded his sticky cream. Thick ropes spurted from the ram's shaft, coating the fleshy passage.

Aesc's fingers finally released the rat's wrists so that he could brace himself, not wanting to collapse on top of his lover. His hands rested on either side of Ellis's head, keeping the ram partially propped. His hips lightly rocked to grind his length deep into the rodent's passage, milking out as much of his warmth as he could manage. He panted softly, his heart beating quickly from the speed of his thrusts leading up to orgasm.

Neither of the two said anything for several minutes, their bodies gradually calming from the intense climax. Aesc slid his arms beneath the rat's torso, pulling him up into a warm embrace. A soft, pleased sigh escaped the ram's lips as he leaned down to nuzzle the rat's neck. The scent of arousal and sex was thick in the rodent's fur now. He growled approvingly, drawing a wet lick upward along Ellis's neck.

"D-do you always treat your guests this well?" Ellis finally breathed.

Aesc chuckled quietly, his fingers gently combing over the rat's sides as he shook his head. "Not all the time, no. Believe me, though, you're not the first one to come strolling by and stop for the night."

"Well, I might be inclined to stay for a few days, if you don't mind. I don't really have any reason to hurry. Nobody's expecting me."

The ram grinned at the rat's suggestion. He leaned down until his eyes gazed deep into the rodent's, bumping noses with him. "Oh, I'd love to have you stay longer than that, hun."

Ellis wasn't sure what exactly Aesc was offering, but as the ram's deep blue eyes gazed into his own, he found it difficult to reply. His mind became unexpectedly clouded, but he found it impossible to pull himself away from Aesc's eyes. He felt himself relaxing beneath the ram, compelled to remain there beneath this lover.

"In fact," Aesc continued, "I think I'd enjoy having you with me at all times."

This further confused the rat. What was this ram getting at? Did Aesc want him to live with him permanently? He tried to open his mouth to speak, but the words wouldn't come. The haze in his mind thickened the more he tried to focus. He was so lost in his own mind that he didn't register a few soft licks over his muzzle. A soft bleat, followed by a more insistent lick caught the rat's attention. He wiggled his muzzle lightly as the ram's tongue flicked deliberately over it.

Aesc purred softly, his paws rubbing over the rat's waist as he gently eased himself free of the rodent's sticky rump. His length slid out with a wet sound, leaving the rat feeling rather empty. Aesc's belly gave a soft, but insistent growl as he embraced the rat. He would calm that protest soon enough.

Ellis flinched when Aesc leaned in close, his jaws parting. He got a brief close-up of the male's flat herbivore teeth before the ram lightly clamped his lips over the rodent's muzzle, his tongue flicking along the rodent's lips. Aesc's eyes closed as he gently suckled over the other male's muzzle, drawing a baffled squeak from his partner. The rat attempted to pull himself free of the ram's maw, but with his body pinned beneath Aesc he had no room to do so.

The licking became more insistent as Aesc's jaws parted once more. Instead of pulling back, though, he quickly lunged forward. The ram's cheeks puffed outward to accommodate the rodent's skull as it slid smoothly into the hungry male's jaws. Flat teeth softly grazed along the top and bottom of Ellis's head, the ram's tongue sliding over his chin as he descended.

The rat's eyes peeked open briefly, getting a glimpse of the inside of the ram's muzzle. A small amount of light was seeping in, giving him a clear view of the back of warm tongue that lead into the ram's gullet. The warm muscle was cupped beneath his chin, coaxing him back toward that dark abyss. He didn't fully register what was happening, however. He felt in the back of his mind that something was wrong, but a thick fog in his mind was preventing him from properly registering it.

Aesc grinned subtly as he paused, his tongue lapping gently along the rat's throat and soft cheeks. The taste of hard work was noticeable in the rat's fur; musky sweat and dirt, combined with the rat's natural scent. It tugged at the ram's hunger, prompting him to continue ingesting his dinner. He snuck in a few more wet licks before continuing, his arms tightening around the white rodent.

A pair of pink paws lightly pushed against Aesc's body when the ram's jaws stretched open again. Aesc ignored the half-hearted protest as he pulled Ellis into a sitting position, hunching himself over the smaller male. A wet slurp accompanied a downward lunge as the ram stretched his jaws over the rat's shoulders. The slick gullet rushed up to meet Ellis's muzzle, slipping over the rat's face and smoothly coaxing it down.

Aesc purred quietly around the rat as he worked his jaws down, gulping softly as he went. He adjusted his paws, pinning the rat's arms against his sides to hinder his attempts to push the ram away. The rat still seemed uncooperative and tried to wiggle, but much less so than if Aesc hadn't worked his magic on the rodent. His cheeks bulged around the male's shoulders as another wet gulp pulled the rat's head completely into his slick throat.

The rat's mind was swimming as he tried to process what was happening to him. He couldn't see anything in the darkness that obscured his vision. He could only feel something wet and slippery working its way farther over his body, restraining him as it slid over him. The warmth around him was soothing, and the sound of the ram's heartbeat in his ears like a lullaby.

With his jaws easing smoothly over the rat's torso, Aesc lowered his grip. He reached down to squeeze the male's rump, kneading his fingers into the curve of it. He helped himself to several seconds of playful groping before giving a firm tug to pull the rat toward himself. His jaws stretched down over the rat's slender waist, distending the ram's throat as the male's shoulders passed into the dark depths.

Ellis still couldn't fully process what was happening to him, but he knew that it was becoming steadily more difficult to move. His arms were completely pinned against his sides, and any amount of wiggling only seemed to be wearing him down. His furless tail flicked from side to side behind him as the ram's throat rippled tightly to tug him deeper.

Aesc had to pause a moment when his jaws neared Ellis's hips. He kept a firm grip on the rat's butt as he leaned back, adjusting his position so he could comfortably resume his meal. Ellis abruptly began to slide deeper, gravity assisting the ram's dinner now. Aesc's tongue pressed upward against the rodent's body when a flaccid, spent length greeted it. The touch made Ellis's toes curl, a distinct but muffled moan rising from within the ram's throat.

With his meal nearly finished, the ram's paws slowly worked their way down Ellis's legs. He lapped over the rat's groin as it slid back toward his rippling gullet, slowly working his way toward the base. The tip of Aesc's tongue curled upward to tug at Ellis's balls, slipping beneath them to tease his tailhole. The lick made Ellis wiggle again, gasping deep within the ram's throat. The erotic touch of Aesc's tongue was riling him up again, making it even more difficult for Ellis to concentrate.

The ram grunted softly when he sat back, tipping his head back to straighten the path to his gut. The rat's body stretched out, squeezed firmly by a wet gulp that pushed his head smoothly into the ram's belly. He wrinkled his muzzle at the smell of the ram's gut, but he couldn't do anything to escape it. Another firm gulp rippled over his body, shoving his face down into the moist folds. The ram's belly gave easily beneath the rodent, stretching as Aesc worked his way down his meal's legs. Ellis's hips disappeared into his throat, stretching the ram's skin around another shapely bulge.

Ellis squirmed when his neck was squeezed into the slick gut. He was forced to bend forward as his shoulders followed him in, grateful that he was so limber. Aesc steadied the rat's legs above his head, his tongue lapping along the inside of Ellis's thighs. He gave the make's ankles a tug toward his jaws, feeling his stomach swelling beneath the male's weight.

With a few more gulps, the rat's pink feet were resting just beyond the greedy ram's jaws. He rubbed his fingers gently over Ellis's feet, drawing a muffled giggle from his belly. The tickling continued as the rat's feet slid back into his jaws, the ram's tongue immediately assaulting them. Ellis instinctively tugged when his feet were licked, giggling madly inside of Aesc's gut. The motion was successful in escaping the source of the tickling, at the cost of helping himself farther into the ram's slippery innards. Aesc chuckled softly, gulping to coax the rest of the male's body into his gut.

The ram's paws drifted downward to cradle his gut as it began to sag heavily. He rubbed his fingers over the bulge, sitting on the barn floor atop a bunched up blanket. He licked his lips to flick away the residual flavors of his meal, sighing heavily. He gave the shifting bulge a soft squeeze, grinning as the outline of a pair of paws appeared in his gut.

Inside, Ellis could barely move. The warm, slippery walls were hugging his body tightly, conforming to his shape and holding him in a fetal position. He attempted to push against them to create space, but the somewhat elastic flesh stretched around his paws, squeezing back around him whenever he relaxed. The small amount of air in the gut was thick and difficult to breathe, making him dizzy. He wasn't sure how long he'd be awake if he remained where he was. Strangely, though, something was compelling him to stay. He felt safe in the embrace of the ram's body.

Aesc wrapped his arms around the heavy bulge to hug the rat's outline, sighing again. His belly gurgled softly before a burp escaped his muzzle, releasing most of the air inside his gut. Aesc giggled as he gazed down at his squirming belly, admiring the bulge. The rat was already settling down, succumbing to the lack of fresh air in the hostile surroundings.

Knowing that he wouldn't be going anywhere for a bit, Aesc tugged the blanket from beneath himself. He draped it over his body as he curled up on the floor of the dusty barn. A soft yawn escaped his muzzle, reminding him that another long day of work was drawing to a close. The rat was growing similarly tired, giving in to the ram's belly despite his struggle to remain conscious. Eventually his body gave out, lacking the strength to keep squirming.

The ram bent down to nuzzle his belly, a paw gently stroking over the rat's outline as the other hugged the blanket around his body. "Just relax in there, hun. You'll be part of me soon enough."

Aesc's words barely registered in Ellis's mind before he blacked out, falling completely still. His body was squeezed by the ram's gut, which gurgled softly around him. Aesc closed his eyes and took a deep breath, holding it for several seconds while he enjoyed the fullness of his belly. He let the breath out slowly, drawing another soft burp in the process.

"Enjoy your stay, hun," the ram purred to his belly, curling around it as he drifted to sleep...

* * * * * * * * * *

Aesc's ears perked up at the sound of a horse cry. He peered idly toward the window, his eyes following the branches of a tree outside as the wind caught them. It was breezier than usual outside, the old farmhouse creaking as the wind blew against it. He'd locked everything up before coming inside, so he was content that the animals would be safe from the oncoming storm. He listened to the wind for a few moments, but eventually returned to his book.

A warm fire crackled in the fireplace across from him as his eyes scanned the pages of his favorite novel, his ears occasionally flicking this way and that as the wind picked up and settled again. The ram adjusted himself in his chair to find a more comfortable position, wearing only a pair of baggy cotton shorts: his preferred lounge wear. Another whinny caught Aesc's attention, drawing him away from his book. He idly wondered if he would need to check up on the animals in the barn to ensure that everything was okay.

The ram's eyes gazed out the window, looking to the red barn. He could vaguely see the outline of it in the darkness. A heavy thud caught Aesc's attention when the wind picked up. Aesc blinked rapidly, wondering if he'd forgotten to latch to barn door before he came in. He leaned forward in his chair, his book lowering as he sighed.

At that moment, Aesc noticed a flicker of light filtering outward from the barn door. He sat upright in his chair, wondering if he was just seeing things. Perhaps the storm had brought lightning with it. As the barn door swung open again, however, the ram caught a brief silhouette of a figure standing inside it, attempting to pull the door closed while wielding a small flashlight.

"Son of a bitch," Aesc growled, standing out of his chair in a flash. His book clattered to the floor as he hurried to the fireplace mantle, where a well-polished shotgun was hanging. He lowered it from the rack and hurried to the front door, slipping out into the windy night after throwing on a jacket.

Aesc focused his attention to the barn, dim light filtering from the nearby living room window. The figure had slipped inside, having given up on his attempt to close the barn door from within. The ram moved toward the barn quickly, the wind tugging at his jacket and loose shorts. He paused when he reached the barn door, peering in the narrow gap. He couldn't see anyone at first, but he could hear someone shuffling around over the breeze.

Cautiously, Aesc eased himself into the barn, shotgun raised. He spotted the figure immediately: a red fox who was reaching up for a fine leather saddle that was hanging on the wall. Aesc shouldered his gun and peered down the sight, pointing it directly at the vulpine, who was yet unaware of the ram's presence.

A startled yip echoed through the barn when Aesc cocked the shotgun. "Don't even think about touching that," he warned.

The vulpine whipped around the moment he heard the classic "ka-chunk" of the shotgun cocking. He pressed his back firmly against the wall, realizing that Aesc was standing between himself and the only exit. He dropped the flashlight that he'd been carrying, casting a beam of light across the barn floor.

"You've got five seconds to give me a good reason why you're here."

The fox whimpered loudly at the firm warning, his knees locking up. He wanted to run, but he had nowhere to go. His throat tightened, making it difficult to breathe. His heart pounded in his chest, thumping noisily in his ears as he glanced to the left and right. The moment of silence was broken by an impatient nicker from a horse in a nearby stall.

"Five."

The fox couldn't move, pinned against the wall as if he were glued to it. His paws were pressed against the wood paneling, claws scraping against the surface as his fingers curled. His heart raced faster as he stared down the barrel of the ram's shotgun, trying to focus.

"Four."

Aesc kept his eyes locked on the fox, growling softly. He barely registered the growing noise of the storm outside, the barn door thumping heavily with each gust. It rattled the old barn, adding to the weight of the face-off.

"Three."

The vulpine opened his mouth to speak, but no words came. His mind was too clouded to think straight, his ears pinned flat against his head. His knees were shaking, threatening to give out at any moment. If he wasn't firmly braced against the wall, he likely would have collapsed.

"Two." The ram's finger shifted to the trigger, hovering over it. The fox still refused to move or speak. The vulpine's eyes followed the movement, realizing that if he didn't say something quick, he was dead.

As Aesc opened his mouth to count off the final number, the fox finally opened his mouth to speak.

"Please don't kill me!"

Aesc quirked an eyebrow at the response, but he kept the shotgun raised. "Give me a good reason not to. I don't take kindly to trespassers, especially ones sneaking around at night."

"I...I..." the fox choked as he shook violently, his bushy tail hanging limp behind him. His eyes welled up as the seriousness of the situation caught up to him.

"Oh god, he's going to cry," Aesc thought to himself, though he kept his gun up.

Right on cue, the vulpine sank to his knees, a heavy sob escaping his muzzle. His head lowered, his eyes diverted to the dusty floor. Aesc sighed heavily and rolled his eyes, stepping forward slowly. He was mindful that it could simply be a trick to get his guard down as he approached the fox. He halted when the male was nearly in reach, pointing the barrel down at the fox's muzzle.

"You still haven't answered me," Aesc warned.

"I..." The fox sniffled heavily between sobs, trying to regain his composure quickly. He didn't want to be seen like this. "I...just wanted someplace safe to sleep."

"You could have knocked," the ram growled, his finger still hovering over the trigger.

"I didn't want to...bother you," the fox sniffled.

Aesc's eyes narrowed. "You're lying."

The fox glanced up for a moment, reaching up to wipe his nose. He glanced at the trigger of the shotgun, then peeked up at the ram. "Safety's on."

He hoped it would distract Aesc long enough to allow him to bolt for the clattering door without getting shot. The ram's eyes peered down briefly, the gun lowering as he pulled his eyes away from the sights. Seeing his opportunity, the fox rose to his feet immediately. Just as he was about to run, however, the barrel of the shotgun pressed firmly against his muzzle.

"Not so fast."

The fox whimpered, freezing up as he felt the cold steel of the barrel against his face.

"That's a cute trick, but did you honestly think it would work?" the ram growled. The fox remained silent for several seconds, prompting Aesc to continue. "Now, then. Tell me why you're here, and tell me the truth. I can sit here all night if I have to."

"I am telling the truth! I wanted some place safe to stay for the night!"

The ram hummed quietly, his finger tapping lightly against the side of the gun stock. The fox's words seemed genuine, but the male was still hiding something. He wouldn't be satisfied until he found out what that was.

"That still doesn't seem like a valid excuse to be breaking into someone's barn at night."

The fox lifted his gaze to peer over the top of the shotgun. He met the ram's blue eyes, falling silent for several seconds. Aesc focused intently on the fox's brown orbs, using the opportunity to seize a bit of control over the fox.

"I needed...somewhere safe to hide..." the fox said quietly.

"Hide from what?" Aesc asked, keeping his gaze focused on the male.

The ram's hold on the fox grew stronger as the seconds passed. The male felt as if he were being drawn into the ram's gaze, losing himself into those blue pools. Without thinking, he opened his mouth to speak, the words flowing out on their own.

"From the police. I...got into some trouble."

Aesc nodded lightly, lowering the gun. He was satisfied that, in his current state, the fox wouldn't attempt to dash away any longer. "Go on."

"I stole a few things from the neighbors while they were away. I thought I'd gotten off scot free, but then the police showed up at my house looking for me. I've been on the run ever since."

"That seems fairly minor," the ram observed. "That's not something that would get you put away for very long."

"Aaaaand I...kinda set their house on fire while I was escaping, because I got startled by the security alarm and knocked over some stuff in the garage on the way out."

"And you expect me to let you hide here, knowing all this."

The fox whined quietly. He knew the ram was right. Still, he attempted to convince Aesc to help him. "Please...I just wanted to get out of the situation I was in. I owe a lot of people money. I don't want to go to jail."

The ram nodded softly. While he sympathized with the fox's situation, he wasn't going to willingly let a fugitive from justice sneak off. He rested his gun at his hip, gazing intently at the fox as ideas churned in his head. A soft layer of fat around Aesc's belly reminded him of the previous traveler that had come his way for assistance. The rat had been seeking a life change as well, though for different reasons with different circumstances.

"I'll help you on one condition, mutt," Aesc finally replied.

The vulpine's ears perked up. He was visibly shocked by the answer he received. "Wh-what? You will?"

Aesc nodded. "Indeed. But only on the condition that you pay back the damage you've done."

"But...I don't have much money," the fox protested. "How will I do that?"

"You'll remain here on my farm, until I see fit to release you," Aesc said, a small grin creeping over his lips.

"You're going to put me to work?"

"In a manner of speaking," the ram said under his breath. "If you don't want to work, though, I can just call the police and let them know you're here."

"No!" the vulpine blurted immediately. "Please, no. If you're not going to leave me with any other choice, then...I'll do whatever you ask."

The ram's grin spread at the fox's reply. "Wise decision. Make yourself comfortable, fox. I need to fetch something from the house."

The fox's ears flattened as Aesc turned. "Please don't call the police."

A chuckle escaped the ram's lips as he walked toward the barn door, slipping through the gap. He gazed back to where the vulpine was standing as he rested a hand on the heavy door. "Do you really think I have a phone all the way out here in the middle of nowhere?"

The fox groaned at Aesc's words. "Son of a bi-"

A rumbling thud shook the barn as Aesc closed the barn door firmly, cutting off the fox's thought as he closed the latch. He found the padlock hanging on its post where it should have been, slipping it over the latch. He didn't snap the lock closed, however, knowing that it would be sufficient to keep the door shut until he returned.

The vulpine rushed to the door and pushed it firmly, groaning again when it refused to open. He could hear the latch rattling as he shoved the door. He threw his weight into the door, rattling it noisily on its hinges, but it still didn't open. He backed away from the door slowly with a soft whine, surveying his surroundings to see if there were any exits that he may have previously missed. Much to his annoyance, however, the large door was the only way out.

The fox grumbled as he gave up. He bent down to sit in the middle of the barn, waiting impatiently for the golden-fleeced ram to return. He wished he'd brought tools with him, but he didn't dare return home after the police began looking for him. He'd been getting by living as a hobo, begging money for food and moving from place to place to avoid detection.

"This sucks," the fox muttered to himself, resting his chin on his arms as he pulled his knees up to his chest. "Beats prison, though."

He fox listened to the walls of the barn rattling as the wind picked up outside. It was growing ominously strong, leaving him to wonder if the barn could withstand the storm. A nicker snapped him from his musing. He glanced to his left where a brown horse was stabled, circling nervously in its stall. The sleek tail was flicking back and forth as the horse moved, sweeping against the wall.

Curious, the fox slowly rose to his feet and moved toward the stud. His bushy tail flicked slowly as the horse noticed him, pausing for a moment to make eye contact. As the fox moved closer the horse back up in its stall, bobbing its head anxiously.

"I'm not going to hurt you," the fox said softly, approaching the gate to the stall.

The horse backed up until its hindquarters bumped into the back wall. When the fox continued to approach it gave a nervous whinny. The vulpine leaned against the gate and reached out, his fingers extended. As he did, the stud let out a shrill whinny and reared back, rising to full height on its hind legs. The fox fell back in alarm, landing on the floor. He scrambled away from the stall gate quickly, his heart racing as the horse came back down on all fours.

A chuckle made the fox twist around on the floor. "Be careful around Nick, he doesn't like strangers."

The vulpine found himself gazing up at the ram once more, who was now clutching a heavy collar in his fingers. It looked like the type of collar that one would put on a large dog. The fox's ears perked up as he eyed the collar, wondering what the ram had in mind.

"What's that for?"

"You," Aesc replied coolly.

"What? You can't be serious," the fox whined quietly.

"As long as you're here, you'll live by my rules," Aesc chuckled. "One of those rules is that anyone staying in my home wears one of these."

The fox's ears pressed back in mild annoyance. He didn't protest, though. Aesc grinned as he moved closer, opening the collar and lowering it to the fox's neck. With a quick motion, he tightened the collar until it was snug and fastened it in place. The vulpine peered down, noticing a silver tag hanging from a loop at the front. The tag, however, was blank.

"Hey, how come there's nothing on the tag?"

"Well, you haven't given me your name yet," Aesc chuckled. "Can't rightly put anything on the collar if I don't know who you are."

The fox sighed lightly, knowing that he'd rather give the ram as little information as possible. He wasn't exactly in a place to be making demands, however.

"My name is Rex."

"Well, then, it's a pleasure to meet you, Rex. My name is Aesc. But for practical purposes, you'll be calling me master."

"What?!" the fox tipped his head up to protest to this demand, but when his eyes met the ram's, he immediately fell silent once more.

"Just relax, hun," Aesc said quietly, his voice soothing and soft. "I'll take good care of you while you're here, I can promise that much. Nobody will known you're here."

Rex nodded softly at the reassurance, tipping his head back to follow Aesc as the ram rose to his feet. His bushy tail slowly flicking behind him, feeling oddly at ease with his situation now. There was something unusually calming about the ram's gaze.

"On your feet, foxy," Aesc purred.

The vulpine body seemed to move automatically on command. Rex was soon standing before Aesc, his paws fidgeting in his lap. The ram stepped forward until they were nearly touching, once again meeting the fox's gaze with his deep stare.

"We're going to have to give you a disguise, if you're going to be hiding on my farm. After all, can't have the police finding out that I'm harboring a fugitive if they come around."

Rex nodded gently, wondering what Aesc had in mind. The ram licked his lips as his eyes scanned over the fox, nodding approvingly. He leaned in to lick over the vulpine muzzle, slickening the fur. The fox was unusually cooperative with the treatment as Aesc continued to slurp over his face and cheeks, compelled to let the ram do as he pleased. The warm tongue slid smoothly over his soft fur, leaving it glistening with the ram's saliva.

Ducking his head down somewhat, Rex shivered when he felt the ram's warm breath over his face. He closed his eyes, allowing Aesc to pull him closer without a struggle. He didn't know why he was allowing this to happen, feeling strangely drawn to satisfy the ram's desires. A soft murr escaped his lips when Aesc's lips sealed around his neck, trapping his head in the ram's stretched jaws. His ears were forced flat against his head, pinned down by the roof of the ram's muzzle.

As much as he wanted to savor the meal, the storm was beginning to grow more intense. Aesc would have to get the fox tucked away so he could lock the barn up. He could properly deal with his meal once he was settled in front of the fire in his living room. His jaws bore down over the fox, sliding the vulpine muzzle into his gullet with a wet slurp. The ram wrapped his fingers around the fox's wrists to pin them to his waist, ensuring that his meal would remain compliant.

The heat of the ram's muzzle washed over Rex's torso as he was shoved deeper, a wet gulp sounding in his ears. Aesc's throat contracted tightly around the fox's head, pulling it downward into the darkness. The ram rocked his head side to side in gentle motions, his jaws crawling along the vulpine's torso. Strings of drool dripped from the roof of Aesc's muzzle clinging to the fox's fur as he was steadily worked deeper.

While he'd taken care in enjoying his meal a few days ago, he let his greed take the reins this time. He began to gulp rapidly, tugging the male toward his salivating jaws firmly. He crooned quietly, letting his flat herbivore teeth nibble along the male's body to tease him as he was swallowed. His fingers released the fox's wrists to slide down to his hips, sneaking a teasing grope that made Rex yap softly in surprise.

Kneeling down to get a better angle, Aesc tugged the fox's hips toward his jaws. His tongue lapped along the soft belly, sneaking beneath the male's shirt to sweep over his silky fur. The motion drew a muffled giggle from the ram's gullet as the fox squirmed, being rather ticklish around his midsection. As much as he wanted to exploit this weakness, a heavy gust of wind reminded Aesc of his need to be prompt with his dinner.

Another firm tug pulled the fox's hips into his jaws, the ram's tongue briefly diving beneath the fox's pants. Rex squirmed with a sheepish blush, though his pants prevented Aesc's tongue from flicking directly over his nether regions. The ram huffed softly at his inability to lap at the fox's crotch directly, wishing that he'd disrobed the male before ingesting him. He reluctantly continued his meal, tipping his head up slightly to straighten out Rex's descent.

The fox shook his head gently when he was pushed face-first into the ram's empty belly, greeted by the distinct aroma of stomach acids. He wrinkled his muzzle at the scent, his tail flicking against Aesc's nose. The ram nearly sneezed when the silky fur tickled his nostrils, pulling the tail away abruptly to avoid the inevitable. He sniffled in mild annoyance, gulping firmly to drag the fox's hips into his throat and pin down his bushy tail. A noisy slurp rose from his lips as he suckled around the vulpine's thighs, tossing his head back to quickly finish the rest of his meal.

The fox grunted as he was forced to curl into the ram's gut, his body cramping against itself as he rolled forward. The uncomfortable position didn't hinder Aesc's advance, however, his steady swallowing tucking the fox down quickly. A pair of thighs disappeared swiftly past the ram's jaws, the bulges of the fox's body beginning to gather into Aesc's gut.

Aesc paused a moment when the fox's paws neared his lips. He suckled lightly around the male's ankles while one of his hands drifted down, idly feeling over the bulges in his stomach and throat. He grinned around his meal as he swallowed again, pulling the rest of the fox past his jaws. The tip of the vulpine tail was the last appendage to slip between Aesc's lips, slurping at the bushy tail to drag it in. The ram suckled wetly around the tail, matting it down until it was thoroughly drenched and slimy.

A soft whine rose from the ram's belly as a rippling swallow slid the remainder of the fox's body into his throat. He tipped his head back and closed his eyes, savoring the feel of the male's body gliding smoothly to his belly. The fox squirmed and twisted as his legs joined him in that slippery, humid gut. It was cramped and uncomfortably hot inside, but there was little he could do about it. He was trapped in the male's belly, and despite the danger, he felt oddly at ease.

Fingers drummed lightly over the stretched gut as Aesc unsteadily rose to his feet. He wobbled as he adapted himself to the extra weight sagging over his lap, hugging his gut. An explorative stretch from his belly made the ram giggle, pushing against the shifting bulges to ensure that his passenger remained where he was.

"You just relax in there," Aesc grinned. "Your own mother won't recognize your 'disguise' by the time I'm done."

Aesc hummed quietly as he shouldered his shotgun, carefully stepping toward the barn door. The wind had died down for the moment as he slipped out into the night. He locked up the barn and made his way back to the house, closing the front door behind himself. His stomach gurgled softly around the fox as he shuffled over to his chair. He landed in it with a heavy thump, the soft chair creaking beneath the additional weight.

"Much better," the ram purred to himself, stroking his paws over the wiggling outline of his trapped meal. "Now then, what sort of disguise should we give you?"

The ram's mind wandered as he considered the possibilities. There were several choices that stood out to him, though he grinned when one in particular grabbed his interest. He tapped his fingers over his stomach rhythmically, his vulpine passenger gradually settling down.

"Yes, I think that will do nicely," Aesc chuckled, lying back in his chair as he sighed heavily.

By now, the fox in Aesc's gut was growing rather complacent. He felt oddly secure in that slick embrace, the walls kneading and squeezing over his body possessively. His surroundings were so relaxing that he didn't notice a subtle tingle that began to spread over his body. Fluids seeped from the walls to coat the fox, soaking into his slimy fur and enhancing the sensation. A shiver ran up the fox's spine that made him squirm lightly, unaware that his body was undergoing subtle changes in the ram's gut.

The ram's fingers rubbed over his belly reassuringly when he felt the wiggle, enjoying the warmth of the crackling fire that was still burning. The cozy heat added to the pleasant feel of the fox shifting in his gut. The process that the male was undergoing would be fairly quick, but Aesc planned to interrupt now and then to tease the male.

Rex couldn't help but notice that the tingling sensation that tickled his skin was growing stronger. He idly wondered what was happening, pawing at the walls. The influence that the ram held over him made it seem harmless enough, though, so he wasn't concerned. He yapped when the stomach suddenly contracted around him, though. The stomach squeezed tightly over him, making the fox grunt as it relaxed and contracted again. The flexing forced him upward, his head sliding back into the wet passage that had lead him into the ram's belly.

The ram's fingers traced over the bulges of the fox's belly as he propelled the male smoothly upward, his body contracting to push the fox out. With the fox so thoroughly coated in the ram's bodily fluids, the progression was much faster than ingestion. His jaws spread open when the head appeared, tipping his chin up. The fox blinked and squinted when he was greeted by firelight, having grown accustomed to the blackness of the ram's gut. He peered down, then gasped when he saw his shoulders protruding from the ram's jaws. They were white, and his fur was curling over itself much like wool.

"Wha-"

The fox was cut off as Aesc reached up and pushed on the fox. A wet gulp tugged the male abruptly back down, stuffing him back into the depths of his gut. Aesc grinned as the fox began to squirm again, a bit more energetically than he'd done before. He patted his belly, a soft burp escaping his muzzle from the movement.

"Settle down in there," Aesc chuckled. "You're just gonna tired yourself out."

The tingling was growing noticeably stronger as the fox shifted about in the tight confines. The ram's influence over him was strong, but he was still aware of what was happening to him. He knew it wasn't right, but despite this he couldn't do anything about it. Struggling was his only option, and his body was quickly wearing down. He reached up to push against the ram's gut again, but paused when he realized something was wrong with his hands. His fingers felt like they were glued together. It was impossible to inspect them in the darkness, though.

Another contraction make the fox yip in surprise, his slickened body pushing up the ram's gullet once more. He grunted as he was squeezed tightly, his body gliding smoothly along until he was met with warm firelight once more. Aesc breathed softly around the fox, then pushed again to let more of the fox's body out this time. The vulpine breathed a sigh of relief, hoping that the ram was going to release him from his gastric prison. When his arms popped free, he reached up to wipe strings of drool and tingling fluids from his face. Instead of the expected fingers, however, two darkly-colored digits protruded from his wrist, much like a sheep's hoof. His entire limb was covered in soft wool, though it was matted noticeably.

The fox felt the blood drain from his face as his eyes stared intensely at the mutation. He whimpered, realizing that his entire forelimb structure was changing. He was somehow turning into a sheep. Just as he opened his mouth to scream, the ram's fingers clenched over his muzzle. The cry was muffled as the former-fox found himself descending into the male's gut once more, stolen away into the darkness.

"Almost done, hun. Next time you come up for air, your 'disguise' will be completed," the ram smirked.

Rex wasn't at all happy about this. As the tingling returned to his body he continued to struggle, shoving his limbs against the walls of the ram's belly. He had to escape somehow, but the ram had already proved that Rex was completely at his mercy. Despite the prospect of escape being hopeless, the male pushed and squirmed desperately. He opened his mouth to scream again, but a distinct bleat came out instead.

The ram's ears perked up when his belly suddenly went silent. He rubbed his fingers over his gut, wondering if the fox had passed out. Another muffled bleating from his belly let him know that his victim was still awake, though entirely bewildered. The former fox was too shocked by the sounds coming from his body to struggle.

"Sounds like you're ready to come out of there," Aesc grinned.

The soft chair creaked when Aesc leaned forward, repositioning himself to make regurgitating the male easier. His body clenched over its contents, the ram's jaws spreading open as the slickened creature began to squeeze up his throat. Rex gasped heavily when he caught another breath of fresh air, his body slick and matted. The ram hunched down, and with another heave the former-fox was dumped out onto the living room floor.

Curled up before Aesc was a white ewe, slender and shivering. The ram's unusual body had successfully turned its captive from a fox to a sheep. As the fire warmed his wool, Rex slowly stumbled to his feet. He attempted to stand up on his hind legs, but immediately fell back down. It took several failed attempts for him to realize that his body was no longer built to handle such things. Moving slowly, he placed all four hoofed feet on the floor and stood up, wobbling a bit.

"Wh-what did you..." he trailed off, unable to finish the sentence as he looked himself over. The ram had completely transformed his body into a feral animal.

"This is your new disguise," Aesc grinned. "I hope you like it. But first, we need to give you a more fitting name. Rex doesn't sound very feminine. How about...Dolly?"

Rex opened his mouth to protest, having not yet realized that Aesc's transformation had shifted his gender as well. "I'm a dude! You're not giving me a girl's name!"

"I think you should check the plumbing, hun," the ram chuckled.

Rex wasn't quite sure what Aesc meant. He craned his neck to peer between his legs, only to find soft skin where his male genitals should have been. His attention snapped back to the ram with a look of horror.

"Change me back!"

"Oh, we can't do that, hun. That would risk getting you caught, and you begged me not to turn you over to the police. If you're gonna hide on my farm, you're gonna do it my way. Of course, that also brings up the issue of your mouth. Can't have visitors being startled by a talking ewe."

Aesc reached down as the sheep whimpered, cradling her cheeks. He gazed deep into her brown eyes, scarcely blinking. The ewe gazed back, finding herself unable to pull away from the ram's stare. The ewe could feel her mind slowing the longer the contact was made, all thoughts seeming to cease to a blank state. She wasn't entirely sure what was happening, but couldn't pull herself away from the ram to prevent it.

The ram's eyes narrowed slightly as he concentrated, blocking the link between mind and body. It was something that he'd learned to perfect over the years, having populated most of his farm with unsuspecting travelers in the same manner. Whether it was a drawback or a convenient excuse, however, the only way to permanently seal the ram's spell over his victims was sex. The hypnosis would wear off after a time, otherwise.

The deep, probing gaze eventually peeled away from the ewe. She remained still for several seconds, unmoving and unblinking. Aesc brought his fingers up before her eyes and snapped loudly. A startled bleat erupted from the ewe as she jumped backwards. She gazed around in confusion, letting out another soft bleat.

"Calm, sweetie. You're okay. Your ram will keep you safe."

The ram's voice was like magic. The ewe lowered her head submissively and approached Aesc, her tail flicking side to side. He reached up to pet her cheek with a smile, running his fingers through the soft wool that fluffed up as it dried.

Despite a calm and compliant outward appearance, the fox was still very much alive in the ewe's mind. The ram's spell over him had completely blocked out his consciousness. While he was aware of everything happening, he had no control over his body. It was as if another force was acting on its own. He was a prisoner trapped in his own mind. Was this punishment for the deeds he'd done?

"Turn around for me, Dolly. Your master wants to get acquainted with your new body."

Without hesitation, the ewe turned herself to face away from Aesc. The ram's hands reached up to rub over her flanks, sinking into the softness as he squeezed. He grinned and leaned forward, his own body beginning to reshape. Aesc carefully repositioned himself in the chair as his body shifted to a more feral type. Unlike the ewe, however, the ram still had full control of his body and thought processes.

The ewe stood obediently in the middle of the floor as Aesc slid out of his chair, standing on four cloven feet now. He padded up behind her and leaned down, nuzzling at her hindquarters lightly. Her tail flicked up, inviting the ram for a closer inspection. Aesc grinned at the offer, nuzzling his way along her fuzzy flanks and toward the warmth beneath her tail. Aesc purred as he gave her backside a friendly lick. She bleated quietly in response, her tail flicking back and forth.

Aesc grinned as he hopped up, pulling his forelimbs over the ewe's hips. He pulled his body up and mounted her, leaning down to nibble lightly at the back of the ewe's neck. A soft shiver ran up her back when she felt the ram's excited length prodding at her warm entrance. Aesc didn't hesitate to roll his hips forward, pushing himself into the ewe's body. He grunted softly as he felt her clench around his length, her silky tunnel gliding smoothly over it.

The fox in her mind couldn't believe what was happening. His body had been twisted and reshaped into a farm animal, and now he was being mounted like one. He could only look on at what was happening, unable to do anything to escape it.

The ram began to thrust at a moderate pace, pistoning his hips into the ewe's heated depths. He nibbled over the back of her neck, breathing softly as he thrust. His mind focused on the fox that was trapped in the ewe's body, using that intimate bond to strengthen the hold he had over the male's consciousness. The fox could feel the ram's presence in his mind, but found that it was impossible to fight him away.

Aesc growled lustily as he quickened his pace, letting feral instincts take the reins this time. His body rocked into the ewe's backside with natural fluidity, fueling his mental fortitude. As the passion heated in the pair's bodies, the seal that blocked the fox's mind from body was enhanced.

"Just a little more," the ram grunted, not bothering to hold himself back this time. His only purpose for mounting the ewe was to seal the deal, though he still enjoyed the guilty pleasure of mating with a newly transformed pet.

Aesc could feel the ewe's body warming against him as his thrusts quickened, his length causing lewd slurps to rise from her slick passage. The fire popped noisily, seeming to reflect the growing passion between the two animals. A howl of wind outside rattled the house as the ram pushed himself quickly toward his goal. He bit down firmly on her nape and tugged, pulling her head up.

The ewe let out a surprised bleat at the dominant tug, but she didn't pull away. She instead pushed back against the ram as Aesc thrust in a flurry of motion, encouraging the male. Aesc's forelimbs squeezed her waist, keeping him balanced on top of her as his frame pushed over her body. He could feel the pressure building in his body, rising quickly to his peak.

A deep bleat escaped Aesc's throat, releasing the ewe's nape as his length throbbed. His forelimbs clenched firmly around Dolly's waist, the ram's hips pushing against her flanks. Warm seed burst from the ram's shaft into the ewe's silky passage, drawing a satisfied groan from Aesc's lips. He slowed his thrusts until he stopped entirely, his shaft snug inside his partner's body. As he enjoyed the physical passion of mating with his new addition, his mind busied itself with sealing away the fox's consciousness for good.

Aesc remained silent for several seconds, panting quietly as his body emptied his spunk into the ewe. When the deed was done he gently eased back, also breaking the link he'd made with the fox's consciousness. He purred quietly into the ewe's ear, smiling to her as he lowered his body away from her.

"You'll be a lovely addition to the farm. Nobody will ever know you're here, either," Aesc grinned, making himself comfortable on the living room floor beside his newest addition...
