Book 01 - The Beginning

Chapter One - A Young Rabbit At The Gate

The young rabbit screwed up his courage, opening the gate and walking up to the door. It was beautiful in it's simplicity and he Very much wanted to learn how to make such doors. How to shape wood... Actually - Any work would do, as long as he earned coppers for his parents. Woodworking was a quiet desire - Quiet, because there was no way he could pay to learn the craft. Rand did alright with what he could find (mostly tree roots and branches), But to make something Beautiful... Besides, Tur said there was Work for those willing to do it. So the lad had walked to the town. He had walked down the lane. To this door. All in hopes that he might be able to talk the one who lived here into taking him on. It meant So much to the Family... Sighing, he touched the knocker, caressing the metal. Then lifted it and let it fall, striking the plate, hearing the sound echo inside the house.

Rand Shivered, waiting... Uncertainty gnawed at the lad like his ever-present hunger. What if no one was here? What if they didn't need him... 'Believe the creek won't Rise... But live on the Upward side of the Hill,' Da would say. The young male waited several lifetimes for an answer to his knock before noticing a rope with a brass sign - 'Pull Rope for Service'. Dared he? Da had said, "Theys can only kills ya once. Ans ye can always return ta us."

'Not without coins and them ta be a'comin at least monthly...' Still trembling, the bunny reached up and tugged on the rope - And almost jumped out of his skin when a bell sounded deep in the house. The lad stood straighter as footsteps came closer and closer - And if the Crafter said No? Well, perhaps he knew of someplace else the rabbit could go. He Was of Age to be Apprenticed, and since his older brother Tur was the only other one not working the land, he Had to find work - Even if it meant going to one of the 'Houses' he had heard of in whispered rumors. They would take his young rump... The lad giggled - Might even be fun. Then Rand shook his head and made a promise he would get Da money, Whatever it took! His thoughts scattered as the door moved...

"Can I help..."

The fox looked out onto his small but well-kept yard, and found an urchin, barely dressed in some rag - Male from what could be seen peeking out from under the thin shirt. And frightened half out of his wits, if the shivering limbs were any indication. Hmmmm... Nothing was broken or amiss that he could see. Besides, urchins never hung around to get punished.

"What do you want?" he inquired of the ragamuffin, nose crinkling at the waft of ammonia. 'Meanie... Look what you did to the poor lad.' He wasn't angry at the rabbit, just the intrusion... And that Damned oak newel that would splinter and chip if he Looked at it cross-ways. Tama reached down and gently rubbed the dusty head-fur, curiosity getting the better of him. Well, Messengers came in all sizes and shapes. And he was not rich enough to turn away work...

"I am Not going to bite, Promise. Now breathe... And tell me why you have come to my door." He almost added 'Sexy', but kept the opinion to himself.

* * * *

Rand gulped in air, wincing as a drop of urine stained his shirt-front - Blast! He was Barely 'Of Age'. Still young enough to Pee himself - A little. He wanted to growl at the head-rub, swallowing a dry breath... He thought of his siblings again. The lad hoped he didn't embarrass himself further, tugging the shirt down a little.

"I... I came to see if Sir was needin an Apprentice. I heard ye might be needin one, and - I always be wantin ta be learnin how ta make doors an chairs an such... If it Pleases Sir." Anything! Anything was better than Packed Earth, Dust and Endless Heat/Cold.

Green eyes stared into soft brown ones. Well... Cute little bundle of fluff. Still, he wasn't a charity - "And what if I don't Need an Apprentice?"

The bunny blinked. Wrung his hands and lowered his head. He swallowed again... That was it then. If the fox didn't need him, most likely none else would either. It had taken all he had just to come to This door... He wouldn't cry. He was of Age, not a Child. Adults didn't cry... Rand sighed, biting his lower lip. Whatever it took... Getting his courage up, the lad asked, "Which way to The Street of Desires, ser?"

Tama's ears twitched. Did he just say - The fox might wish the Tax-Male there, but a Lad? He was much too young to be selling his rear in a House. The older male huffed... Then reached a finger down to lift the trembling chin. 'Well - I Could use someone to fetch things, keep the glue pots wet and such. Besides - How could one say no to that face.' He sighed, then grinned wryly. 'You are going soft in your old age. But he Is cute...'

"Alright. But on a test basis only." Gods, look at the lad Shine. He got the rabbit inside, and sighed again, closing the door. Dirty, thin... 'Hells, I wasn't in much better shape when my Master took Me in.' Well... Perhaps with enough work, the lad Might make a manageable Apprentice. And if not... He is cute - Stop Thinking With Your Nuts!

"Apprentices get one copper per week - Minus breakage. A place to sleep. Two meals - *Ahem* Three meals a day. Now - Off with that Rag. First a bath, then..."

The rabbit nodded, and without any more thought than a Wildling, off came the 'shirt' - More Patch than Cloth and showing a very sexy rump with a cute tail that waggled a little under the fox's gaze. Tama found himself dry-mouthed, the tip of his canine penis pushing his apron out. Gods! Long legs rode an ass he wanted to Nuzzle and Bite, Caress and Hump, Tickle and Tease... The lad half-turned, showing he was indeed male - White from chin to crotch, brown everywhere else, with a cute nut-sack that would be a handful when he got older. How could anything so Adorable, be So Damn Hot!

* * * *

Rand blushed slightly, trying to remember what little he had heard about being Apprenticed, and what might be expected of him... He stood a moment, feeling the gaze wander over him. He saw as well as smelled the fox-rut and Shivered again. He had been with enough males to know what that look meant - Well, hopefully. The green eyes made him feel Warm... Especially between his legs. He barely came up to the male's shoulders - An older male, who probably knew all about mysteries that he could only guess at - And maybe, teach to a young rabbit? The lad gave his hips a twitch, looking over his shoulder.

"A Bath... With yourself, sir?" Privacy was non-existent in his hut, and bathing was done with several of his siblings.

Tama found himself staring at the youth, drooling slightly... And shook his head to clear it. "Bath. Ahem, yes. Get rid of that Dust." He took a step. Another... And found his hand on the brown rump, squeezing it. He felt the muscles move against his palm... Definitely needed some padding, but Gods! Even skinny as it was, just touching it made his balls swell... And got a soft giggle from it's owner.

'Gods Above, when did I have time for a Lover, After... After - No. We had sex but He wasn't a Lover. So, never.' Tama patted the lad's butt, feeling the cute tail wiggle under his thumb. He half pushed, half-guided the dust-bunny to the Bathing room, showed him how to fill the tub, where the soap and scrub-brush were kept.

"Thank you, Sir." Rand had to stand in his toes to kiss the fox, a soft lip-press of gratitude. But it felt good and he wanted it to last much longer than it did. However the water wouldn't stay warm Forever. Even so, he needed a hand to get in it. The lad's gasp of pleasure was loud enough to drown out the softer moan from the fox watching that so sexy leg slide into the tub.

Tama bit his lip - As much as he wanted to toss the apron off and jump in behind the bunny, that oak post wouldn't turn itself. Sighing, he patted the cute bunny's head and walked out.

* * * *

The lad was having a hard time trying to remember what he was doing himself... That so beautiful tail. That so sexy rump - Did it lift enough to show a flash of white between the legs? His dick popped erect, wanting attention as well. But it wasn't Polite to spill his seed in the water. Just like it wasn't Polite to Piss in it - Kits did that. So he washed, trying his best not to moan as he worked the brush on his feet, his legs. His chest and face, ducking under the water. Then he scrubbed his back, wishing the fox was there to help. Gods... One touch and he would be spurting all over the russet fur!

No matter what he Thought he smelled or Thought he felt from the caress, Rand wasn't going to give the male any reason to toss him out the door. He needed this Position... Food was never in abundance and the rumor of New Taxes - And them being barely able to pay the ones they had! He knew Ma cried over it... That was what had made him come here. And he would do Whatever it took to stay in this House. To learn the trade of Crafter - And a Whole Copper-piece! The rabbit scrubbed extra hard to get the dirt from his fur, only gasping a little as he worked his nuts and sheath over - 'Go down, blast you!'

Rand sighed and finally got out. Dried himself as best he could. The cooler air was a shock and somehow he managed to get everything tucked in and at least a Little more presentable. He padded to the front, found a room with a Huge bed - Or so he had been told such a thing was called. It felt soft and warm and smelled of cedar. He didn't see a cot or pallet, but even the wood floor was better than dirt.

The lad heard a growled curse and quickly returned to the Main part of the House, following the sound towards the back - And into a Workshop. There his new Master was slowly turning something that would be beautiful. It was beautiful Now, as far as he was concerned. Almost as Beautiful as that yummy red ass that moved as he watched it... With a "Bastard!", the fox tossed the tool onto the floor, Glaring at the post. The gouge had barely hit the wood when Rand ran to pick it up - Metal was scarce as Work-Free Days where he came from, let alone something that was Obviously crafted, and he held it with reverence.

Tama was going to let another growled curse go, but stifled it when he noticed Someone beside him. Someone smelling of male and clean rabbit with a hint of rut that made his tail bush a little. He dared a glance - The white was much more pronounced now. As was a pair of pink nipples poking from the too thin chest. Brown hands held the tool he had thrown, turning it as if it was some Holy Relic and not a Bane.

"It is a Gouge - Number Four. See how it gouges a ring in the wood?" Well, it would if the damn thing would Stop Splintering!

Gods - To see that cute face light up, to watch him almost drop the heavy tool as fingers brushed the turning. He took it back, worried about Toes and Feet not his own, putting it in it's place. The fox watched the brown eyes follow his movements, taking in All the tools of his trade. Had he ever been so Young? So filled with wonder at so many new things? Once perhaps. A noise made him flick an ear, red staining the long brown ones beside him.

"When did you eat last?"

Fingers gripped the flat stomach as if to silence it. Gods, was He Ever that skinny? Well, Once... Tama *shuddered* at the memory, taking his apron off, putting it on a peg... And felt the gaze slide across his paunch, going lower. He almost laughed... 'Look at him drooling over my crotch - And I care why?' The fox shook his head. He Was getting soft - Taking in strays off the street. Parading around in nothing but his fur... He slapped the sexy lad's ass lightly.

"Well? Have you forgotten how to speak?"

Rand stifled a moan as the strong hand squeezed his butt. Eat? It was all he could do not to reach out and grab that double handful of white sack. That short but fat sheath - Much like his but so different. And so much bigger... His stomach rumbled again and he blushed.

"This mornin' Sir. Afore I left to find ye. Cold turnip soup, same as we always have." The rabbit put his head down, somehow ashamed that his Family was poor. A hand slid up his back and rubbed his ears.

"I think we can find something more than tha- *Sniff* Ugh... I Stink! Go to the Eating room and put a kettle on for tea."

Rand inhaled deeply, thinking his new Master smelled very nice - Hot male, honest sweat. He had no idea what 'putting a kettle on' on meant - Perhaps Ser meant the cooking pot? Another light swat got him up on his toes and not leaning towards the crotch he So wanted to explore with Fingers and Tongue and Muzzle. A few moments of instruction got him on his way, almost giggling as he felt eyes watch his rump bounce as he walked out of the room... Adults didn't Giggle, did they?

He found the kettle and a bucket and a dipper. Filled the former, putting it onto a large metal hinge and swung it onto the fire that seemed too low. But there was no wood nearby... He went back to the Bathing room to ask about fuel - And stood in the doorway, just staring at the male. Such a big, beautiful rump. Such a large body... Gods!

The fox turned, a semi-limp cock hanging from it's furred holder, swaying as it's owner moved. A pink tongue slid over dry lips, wide brown eyes staring at the worm. A cough brought sense back to the lad, who stuttered why he had come, still staring at that fox-dick as if to know every vein by heart.

"It's Master Rornes. Scraps will be in the bin Marked as such. You Do know how to read..."

Another stammered reply, with that hard stare undiminished. The fox *grinned*, stepping a little closer to the awe-struck lad.

"No Fire means a Cold Supper. And I hate Cold Suppers - I might even be inclined to Eat... You."

'Look at those Ears Burn. Would you like that, hot rabbit? Teeth pressed into your so cute ass? Fingers squeezing your hot balls?' *Proing* Damn! The brown eyes widened, if That was possible. A soft whisper, something about 'Bigger than his'... Tama Growled, getting those eyes off his erection - Just.

"Wood. Tea. Supper. Or should I get another Apprentice? The Street is still open..."

Tama watched that sink in. Then genuine Fear showed in those too wide eyes. Then it was "Yes, Ser" and "Sorry, Ser" and "Please, Ser" - All in a rush of butchered language. And even with all that, the hot gaze stayed on his crotch for a moment more... Then there was only the fleeting outline of a cute male. The fox knew about the Houses on the Street of Desires, and who was in them - Old enough to Suck, old enough to Work. Not so 'Virgin' after all, Then? Not the way the bunny had licked those thin, pinkish lips - Damn! This one wasn't going down anytime soon.

'Told you to stop thinking with your nuts...' The fox shook himself. He thought about the pants hanging in the closet. And how much they made him Itch... Tama Laughed. Gods - He was getting This upset because a young buck wanted to stare at His cock? There was a day when he would have Bedded the male Before supper. And After! *Sigh* He Was getting old...

* * * *

In the meantime, the rabbit was pulling a splinter from his palm, and trying not to cry or curse. Scraps indeed! But he braved the pain long enough to get an armful and back to the Eating room with not so much as a thought to Hunky foxes and their So tempting cocks. He found his Master already there, taking the kettle off and motioning him to put the wood in a basket. Then he bade the lad sit and Rand watched as things came out of cupboards - Good cups and utensils made from silver and... He Did cry then. His Family made do with wooden bowls and spoons. They wore handed-down pants and slept in a pile to keep warm when the fire went down... Strong fingers pushed a cup into his hands.

"Sugar in the bowl. And I think Honey with the bread. Tomorrow we can shop for Jam."

A kiss sweeter than either stopped the waterworks for the sheer surprise of it. A deeper one made him moan softly, the tea forgotten as the rabbit dared to touch the soft furred cheek. Then he *blushed* as the fox growled about Burned Stew and how Apprentices shouldn't be So Damn Hot. The lad managed a sip - It didn't Quite make his hair stand on end. A spoonful of sugar... He could get used to it. Then there was a bowl of hot food and a couple of pieces of bread with honey and he managed to say his Graces with head bowed, meaning every word of thanks.

Rand ate slowly, savoring every spoonful and bite. Politely inquired if he may have a little more, please... And almost cried again as he got his bowl filled a second time, a crust big as his hand given with it. He took the fox's hand and kissed it with joy, getting a growl and a gentle cuff on the side of his head.

Tama thought the stew a bit thin, but watched the lad eat as though he was dining at the Duke's Table. Seconds? He would dump the pot in front of the rabbit and let the cute male eat until he was Sick! The fox reached over and rubbed his apprentice's bulging belly, laughing softly. Enough? Or perhaps another piece of stale bread. Another kiss on the back of his rough hand made the older male's eyes burn... Tomorrow they were going to Market, Damned the Cost! A half-cup of mulled wine and the bunny's eyelids were barely open. Last Bell had sounded, the sun was asleep... It was enough for now. Poor lad had probably walked most of the day to get here. On Turnip Soup? He shuddered, caressing the frame of skin stretched on bone, the rump thin but still nicely filling his hand. Perhaps two coppers a week, one for his Purse and one for his Parents - The fox chuckled... Be worth it just to watch that cute butt wag all day - 'Oh, No You Don't! You just stay in your sheath, where you belong.'

He fetched a pallet of straw and a blanket from the storage area, placing it near his own bed. Then fetched some coals for the small fireplace, coaxing the lad up from the bench at the same time. He *squeezed* the cute butt again, feeling the bunny lean against him, barely able to walk. Mmmmmmm... Somehow, he managed to get the lad bedded and the fire banked to take the chill from the room. Got a sleepy "Thank you, sir", with another kiss on his hand that thrilled him clear down to his toe-claws.

Tama sat, looking at the sleeping boy, watching every twitch and wriggle. He had to drink another cup of wine before he could find sleep... It wasn't fair, how damn hot that rabbit was!

Chapter Two - A Cold Morning

Tama awoke, half-muzzy as someone was saying "Ser..." And gently shaking him. Wha? Oh, the Lad. A hand touched icy fur - He was freezing!

"Get in here!" The fox growled, tossing the covers aside. Damn fool rabbit... Didn't even know enough to restart the fire - Don't do... He shivered as cold hands wrapped around his waist, a cold nose pressed against his chest, cool belly pressed to Hot groin. He gently laid the covers over the thin frame, then reached down and gave the cute butt a firm squeeze, murring as it wriggled against his palm... But the lad was already deep in slumber. Tama sighed and looked at the ceiling. Then at the ears barely visible above the covers. He gave them a kiss and snuggled the warming body against his... And squeezed that delectable ass again.

* * * *

Tama woke to an aching hard-on and something fuzzy-warm pressed against it. 'What the... Tell me he hasn't - Crap!' The lad had his dick trapped between two furry pillows of rump and was wriggling them every now and again, making soft noises whenever the dripping head pressed against the pink ring under the leaf-shaped tail. A nice length of red flagpole waved from the white fur as the rabbit slid his leg along the fox's, one hand trapped between his smaller two, snuggling it. The bunny Stretched and he Damn near came all over the lad's Hot Ass! And what did the Cheeky Devil do? Kiss his palm.

"Mornin, Master Rornes."

The lad pushed that bony back against his chest, squeezed his cock and lay there as if Nothing was happening. Well... Nothing was happening. Apart from being Rubbed and Caressed and Wanting to pound some rabbit ass... Tama reached down with his free hand and swatted said rump, biting one of the long ears gently.

"If you want Morning meal, you will have to get up - Since someone can't Light a fire." He is So cute when he blushes! "Ah - No excuses. I like lying beside you as much as you are enjoying it. But laying abed doesn't make coins come to our purse either - Now Up."

And up they got, yipping about the cold floor, the colder air. Rand got to watch his Master use the Water Pot, then used it himself. He saw what a Match was and how to make it spark. Thought to himself, This was what he should be doing while Master was still in bed - Getting things ready. And Next Time he would. But it was sooo nice to lay in that soft bed with a hard dick digging into his rear. He helped put water into two kettles this time - One for tea and one for the bath.

Tama patted the sexy butt. "What would you like with your tea? Maybe some... Sticky Buns?" Look at those ears burn - Naughty Fox. "After we wash, we will have to get you some Proper clothing - Can't have you running around like That in the Square." Much as I would Love to show you off... "Speaking of Clothing -" The fox paused as he checked a calendar on the wall. "The Cleaning Maids come tomorrow - I suppose I will have to teach you how to make the bed as well."

Look at him - Trying not to ask but so wanting to... There is no shame in being Ignorant, Sexy. "Water is hot. Off to the bath with you, young Apprentice." Another soft swat got the lad moving. And the fox followed with a kettle of very hot water. He showed the bunny how to fit the stopper, how to mix the water until it was Just Right. And got in with him. To scrub his back, never mind any other reasons...

* * * *

Rand held in a moan when those strong hands worked his back over, getting on his knees and gripping the Tub-end when they slid to his rump, Squeezing and Kneading... He was going to explode - Until a half-bucket of cold water got dumped on his head. Aaaaa! He shook and sputtered... Then turned to Glare at the fox - Except his eyes kept sliding to the pink pole that waved at him from the white crotch. Two could play That game!

"My turn, Master Tama? To wash, I mean."

The fox nodded and turned, giving him an eyeful of russet butt. He reached for it - And the kettle went off. Blast, it just wasn't fair! The fox stood and shook a little and went off to fix it, stating that it may be too heavy for a young lad. So Rand finished his bath and dried, and waited. Tama returned and finished washing, the water a little cool. But he didn't mind, having a Hot, Naked rabbit to look over. He got out, allowed the lad to help him dry off... Seems Rand couldn't keep his hands off the fox's tail - It was so big and fluffy and caressable.

"Alright... I guess nothing is going to get done until you get it out of your system - Touch it."

The rabbit looked confused - Then shy. "Is... Is you Sure, ser?"

" 'Are you. Are you sure', and while I am not completely, I want Food. Then I will have to get into those horrid pants and coat and all That entails... And I can't put them on like This - So touch it."

Rand licked dry lips and leaned closer, trembling as he reached out to grip the erection in front of him. He felt the warmth of the skin, the veins throb at his touch... The stickiness of the liquid that seeped from the tip. From pointed head to knobbed base, his fingers caressed it... So much like his, but so different - And so much bigger than any of the Farm Boys! He giggled as fingers tickled the back of his neck.

"You like that I gather. Now listen Boy - You have a name, I can't keep calling you Boy or Lad..."

"Randen Sir... Rand, iffen ya like - And yes, I like touching you a lot, thank'ee."

Tama shivered... Both from the stroking and the broken words. "Thank You, not Thankee. And I give you warning - If you suck, you swallow. No making a Face or Pulling back at the last minute. All of it goes down your throat - Heavens knows you could use the extra protein..."

The rabbit stopped, startled. He looked up at the fox, then putting both hands on the shaft, he gently kissed the head. Did it again because he loved the way the male moaned... The lad opened his muzzle and engulfed the throbbing member, shoved it halfway down his gullet, trying not to gag. Sucking, swallowing, trying to breathe. Trying to pull the hard meat out by the roots... Anything to get the fox off. He'd had plenty of dicks in his muzzle before - But this one was... Was Special. Mmmmmm...

"Hey! Watch the teeth... Oh Bugger my Aunt!"

Streams of hot liquid shot down Rand's throat as he Sucked and Stroked the spurting pole, pulling back long enough to gulp in air scented with fox-rut, making his own body shudder. More pooled on his tongue as he lashed it over the pulsating cock, tugging, squeezing... Sucking with a will. He dared a quick caress over the fat balls, wanting them emptied into his mouth. And, he got his wish...

The rabbit gently bobbed his head on the maleness, getting only sweet pre - Which he drank as greedily as he had the semen that had come before. That had been Strong, acrid, even starchy. But still not as bad as that first sip of tea yestereve. Now he could enjoy the feeling of the taut skin in his mouth and under his fingers. The spicy scent that filled his nostrils, and made him want to bury his nose in the thatch of fur. He wanted to be on his knees and Suck on his Master's dick Forever... But despite all he could do, it slowly shrank back into it's holder, which he kissed before nuzzling the now smaller testes in their sack.

"Thank you, Master Tama..."

* * * *

Damn! Tama was holding onto sanity by the Slimmest of threads, and to the doorway with a death-grip... He meant to scare the Lad. Maybe get a quick Stroking and get on with the rest of the day... Instead he got a Starving wastling who emptied his nuts so well, he might not see an erection the rest of the week! How many other cocks had this poor waif nuzzled... How many other males had moaned and gripped the long ears while - Don't Do That!

"You did very well. *PantPant* Now I really want some tea. But -" He lifted the still panting lad up, kneeling and touching the bobbing dick jutting between the lad's legs. "I think this needs some attention First."

Tama had scarcely knelt to slip it between his lips, when the rabbit's hips buckled and the Sweetest Cream he had ever tasted, flowed in a river down his tongue. The fox swallowed, savoring the Feeling, the Scent of hot bunny. Again and again the cannon fired it's load, helped along by strong fingers caressing the lad's scrotum, teasing it to empty itself. The other hand squeezed and rubbed the quivering butt, tickling the puckered hole. Rand passed out somewhere about his seventh orgasm, long past the ability to give the fox's Wickedly talented tongue and muzzle what they demanded.

With one last kiss on the limp bunny-meat, Tama lifted the boneless body and put it to bed. Gods... He couldn't resist one more kiss on the soft lips, getting a moan and hands coming up to caress his face.

"Sleep..." he whispered, shaking his head at a garbled word. Did the lad just say... No, 'Master' was what he heard. It would be So easy to fall for the bit of fluff... Tama grinned as the bunny rolled over, his cute little tail lifting as strong fingers caressed the bony cheeks. The fox bit his lip, thinking of where he would have to go, loathe to leave the sexy male - He wanted to slide in beside the lad. Hold him and listen to him breathe... Kiss away any tears that may fall on the brown cheeks - Fangs gleamed in the morning light. Let someone dare say a word about him taking the Young male in, and he Might just have a better use for that damn oak post!

One more caress along a sexy leg. One more scritch on the neck that made the lad hunch up and giggle... And he was off - But not before taking measurements. Of course some may ask what biting the Hot Ass several times measured, but the rabbit didn't Ask, and the fox didn't Explain. Then it was Dress and Growl and grab a purse and off to Market. An apron of strong linen to keep splinters and chips from sensitive areas. A couple of Good if Plain pants for times when modesty Must reign. And even then they would show off the sexy butt very well... Sections of cheap wood for practice - The rabbit had to start on Something. And a cartload of vegetables. Along with milk to be delivered every morning. 'Turnip Soup' was Not going to be a staple in His House, Cold or otherwise!

* * * *

Tama returned with his purchases to find the kettle back on, the bed if not made well at least spiffied up, and a sexy bunny doing his best to wrestle with a broom. The fox put his purchases on the counter and watched the so hot butt wriggle and shake as the lad did his best to push what grime did exist down the hall and towards the back door.

"And will you do the same for the Workshop?"

Down went the broom and the fox *oofed* as a rocket of fur pounced on him. "Master!"

Kisses rained on his muzzle, arms hugging him tightly. He had to laugh at this bundle of energy that not two Candlemarks ago was out cold. The fox reached into his basket for a package that he pushed into the rabbit's hands with instructions to try the contents on and to meet him in the Shop. A shy look melted his heart yet again, followed by a soft kiss... Then the lad was off. Never had Silver been spent so well.

Removing his clothing, the fox tossed all the old stuff out of cupboards and tins and the Cold Box, exchanging it for fresh... 'About time - This roll is hard enough to sand with!' He made two cups of tea, and brought it with the everyday sugar-bowl to the back - There, standing as if he was a Prince, was the rabbit. His apron untied and on wrong... But he was as proud as he could be.

Tama laughed, straightened and tied the cloth, playing with the sexy butt. He bent to nip the furry mounds, getting a shiver and a giggle... Then stood and nuzzled the long ears, getting more giggles.... The fox glowered at the oak newel that still sat on the lathe, gaking as the lad said all he had at Home was sharp stones he found in the Field. Gods! 'It can Wait for my curses...' He started by showing the bunny every tool in the Shop, naming it and what it did. Let him take a piece of scrap and gouge, plane, cut and saw on it until he was sure his new Apprentice would keep all his fingers. But, he still kept an eye on the lad as he tried to cajole a few more lines out of the post.

The MidSun Bell came with a pair of aching backs, and some sly looks at naked rumps. But they sat and ate Leaf sandwiches made from fresh bread with butter. Then back to it, Rand being shown how to gather the scraps and strips and shavings without getting splinters everywhere. He got instructions on how to add water to the glue pots and regulate the small fires under them so they didn't go dry. Even that Blasted oak post allowed itself to be gouged, a small hand held by a larger one... And both very proud of that little valley. A few more projects got done - Inlays and cutouts glued in with a rag removing the excess. The bunny wiping a tear away - He had come to Tama's door with not much more than That on.

Chapter Three - What The Evening Brought

The Last Bell tolled, and two furs stretched and groaned. Ugh! Then grinned at each other as they tossed aprons on pegs, a young butt being patted and squeezed while an older nut-sack was caressed and kissed. Kettles boiled water for a slow soak, both of them content to just lay for a while, long ears nuzzled in retaliation of a cute butt wriggling against a swelling sheath. A salad sufficed for supper, washed down with cold cider. The pallet was put up, the rabbit kissing his Master and New Lover deeply.

"Thank You ever so... Sir."

Tama Blushed for the first time in who knows when, slapping the cute butt. "Water Pot, then to bed. Tomorrow we wear pants. Company is coming, and We have deliveries to make."

The rabbit didn't want to let go of the fox's sheath that held so much promise. But he got in a kiss before padding off, wriggling his rump without thinking about it.

Hot, sexy, cute. The fox gave thanks to whoever put the scamp on the path to his door. Paying Day was two SunsRising off. Maybe an Early present? Then the lad was back with hot kisses for his balls and hotter caresses on his sheath and chest, fingers gently teasing the pink nipples. Another gentle swat on that so sexy butt got a giggle and a bunny sliding in the covers.

Tama shook his head, went to use the Pot himself, filling the water-chamber from an oak bucket, then wound the hall clock (one of his first major projects. A few flaws kept him from selling the monster but it sufficed for his modest home), and slid in next to the male, stifling a growl as the youth immediately shoved his rump into his Master's crotch, rubbing and wriggling until a hard throbbing erection was dripping against the brown furred backside.

Slim fingers gripped it, gently tugging it between the too thin cheeks, caressing it lovingly. A brown eye looked over a bony shoulder at the uncomfortable fox, head turning to steal a kiss.

"When Sir, if I may ask..." Another, deeper kiss. Mmmmmmm...

"When what, you sexy little scamp... I think - If I wake Early enough, you can have my cock in your muzzle. But only if I wake Early enough, mind..." Hah! The fox would have tied a rock above his head and set a candle to burning the string to wake him, if he had one! And would Probably wake with a mouth on his erection anyway... Rrrrffff - Damn your sexy ass!

The long ears mottled and the sexy butt wriggled again as the bunny reached back to rub the fox's cock-tip, fingers coming away sticky with pre. "I mean - When... When will you make me your female." Like so many others... Or are You The One. The one who can - No! No one could replace... Him.

Rand wished he had bitten his tongue watching the shocked expression on the fox's face. He removed his hand and lowered his head to the pillow, fighting tears. At best he would be Switched for his stupidity. At worse he would be tossed out on his rear. And then it would be the Street of Desires for sure... A sob fought it's way out of the trembling muzzle, through the bunny's clenched teeth. As he fought with another one, the male was turned over, a hand touching his cheek where tears matted the fur.

"Beat me Sir!" the lad blurted out, "Make me sleep on the Floor... I just be an Apprentice! Not look, not touch... But Please dinna kick me out! Please..."

Tama did growl then. He grabbed the rabbit by the scruff and shook him. "Do you want to be tossed out with nothing on but your fur? Do you?"

Got a wild-eyed head shake in reply.

"Do you want to be Beaten? Switched? I don't have any switches but a Leather Strap will do."

Brown hands covered the bony rump, eyes still wide and tear-filled.

"Do you want to Sleep with Me in a soft bed, or on the Floor on a Hard Pallet."

The bunny sniffled and put his head on the fox's chest... And Yeeped as his butt got swatted.

"You are My Apprentice. You will Stay in This House and Sleep in This Bed until I say otherwise. Understand?" Damn - What brought all this on of a sudden?

A soft "Yes, sir" made him growl again, and swat the sexy butt when the lad stiffened. The bunny Was a little brazen - Still, Something was wrong... Tama lifted the trembling chin with a finger, kissed the soft lips. He looked into the haunted eyes - How many rough hands have grabbed the rabbit's hips? How many False promises had been whispered into those long ears? The fox Sighed... Then stifled a laugh. Gods, he Was Getting Old!

"Now, as to Sex... I am not a young, randy Buck who wishes to hump all day and night, despite what my dick may think. And I said In The Morning, you may Please me - Did I not?"

A much chastised "Yes Sir" came from the rabbit, muffled by another, longer kiss. A finger traced the little puckered tail-hole, making the bunny stiffen and moan into the fox's mouth. Definitely not a virgin, but Tight... 'And Hot as Sin I Bet!'

"As to the other..." Tap went the finger, causing the ring to flex closed then open. "Perhaps after Paying Day. If you do not bother me about it. If you do as you are told - If..." Damnit!

The rabbit was hugging him and crying on his chest as words came to his twitching ears. Taxes and Siblings and... Seven of them, with an older sister as well - Greater Gods! And selling his Rump on the Street of Desires. It wasn't fair that Tama was So Sexy and So much like... Like - So much Not like the Farm Boys he had known...

Tama turned onto his back, holding the young male, blinking as he stared at the ceiling. So - Another fox had you before me... And Hurt you, did he? The older male kissed the cute forehead, looking into the brown eyes. He saw the hidden Pain, the Fear that made him want to growl protectively...

"Who is it that I see mirrored in your Eyes, Lover?"

Rand shivered... Lover? He could only Hope. The lad was kissed softly, as he closed his eyes, mind returning to a warm spring day. And tears running down his cheeks, the lad told the fox of his First Love...

Chapter Four - A Summer Affair

"Fagg!" They taunted the rabbit who sat, crying in the Dust. Rand had come to the Pond where they all swam, and peeked through the bushes at the older males. Some of them were really Hot and he tried not to drool too much... Despite being careful, he had still been caught. And even though he denied being there to watch the naked boys, they called him 'Liar', and laughed at his misery.

"Hah... You told Urdl you would put your mouth between his legs if he let you touch him Down there... Only Faggs likes Boys."

Someone Rand thought a friend, now an enemy - Which hurt worse than the taunts.

"Fagg! Fagg!" The others called out, kicking dirt on the brown bunny... Until a whirlwind of brambles descended on their naked hides!

"I'll 'Fagg' Yer Balls Off, iffen yer Had Any!" Retribution in the form of a white female with two long bramble vines that she let fly at anything within reach...

"Ow! Lae... We dinna means it! Ow! Pleas- Yeowch!" But until they was a'bawling as badly as her brother and running after their clothes, she didn't relent one bit.

"And iffen I catches ya teasing the Young'ens again, I will take my Dress off and get Ma's Spoon!" A female who took her dress off meant Blood and broken teeth and bruises... And Ma's Spoon! Nobody whacked you like Ma did.

"Lae? You shouldn a'done that... Ye will get in Trouble and I ain't worth..."

"Shush. Ye is my Brother... Be ye Fagg or nae. 'Sides, I be catchin Maia lookin through them bushes sometimes too."

That got a giggle and Rand got up to gently touch her hands. "Lae!"

Oh they hurt - Got scratched up as much as the boys butts' she was aiming at... She said so and got another giggle as she patted her brother's rump. Her feet hurt, her back hurt and she still had to carry water. Pain was just something one got used to...

Laeare *Grinned* and aimed a kick at the brown butt when he said he would do chores for her. "Grow some muscle - Besides the one between yer legs, and we shall See if Da lets ya carry water buckets."

She Growled at a kiss on her cheek, but still hugged him. Peeking at older boys... Growin' like the weeds, he was. But still Younger Brother. He could carry a bucket - Slop most of it on his toes, probably... She would ask.

Lae watched him walk off - Randen. Dolly Fixer, Button Carver, Owie Kisser... Fagg? She liked males, younger Sister Maia liked males... And Him in the Middle - Hah! Lad Never had a chance at else But males... The female tossed the bramble switches into the patch, and found some berries - She was already scratched up, what were a few more? Mmmmmmmmm - Sweet as a First Kiss.

* * * *

As the rabbit walked down the road, a shadow came out from behind a tree. Pointed ears had heard the taunts, lidded eyes had watched the beating, muzzle grinning. Sometimes he wished he had an older sister... But now - Now the lad was alone, and Still looked like he had chewed on a Sommak Root... Ick! The fox trotted to catch up to the boy.

"Hey... I saw yer Sister. Kinda Nice ta have one." He got a grunt in reply. Sisters were a Pain sometimes... And did she have to be Right? 'Listen ta the Big Brain in yer Head, afore Listenin to the Little ones 'Twixt yer Legs...' *Sigh*

"Ummmmmm - Did Ya really means that? What they said ya said?"

Rand wiped his eyes, not looking at the older boy.

"Iffen I lets ya look and touch me, ye will put yer mouth onna it?"

The rabbit shook his head. "Nae Iffen ye calls me names."

"Awwwww... Come'on." Nhin had watched the rabbit for a while now. Had wanted to talk to him... But the Farmer's Sons all said to Stay Away from the Fagg. And his Da needed the Job at the Farmer's House, bad as it was. The Farmers owned all their Da's... But there were none around Now, and besides - That butt was Cute! The fox looked around Just in case... Then slipped his arm around the slumped shoulders.

"They call me 'RedButt' and pull hairs from my tail. Least ways yer gots a little one. The snappers be clippin their tongues tryin ta get a bite of that..." The lad reached down and fluffed the white, leaf-shaped almost-tail. Got a giggle and a kiss on his cheek from it's owner.

"Hey, I knows a place ta hide."

The bunny nodded, and taking the brown hand in his, the fox-lad trotted up the hill and off to a hollow under a tree, screened off from the main 'Road' by weed and brush. He panted and laughed and held the younger male, who felt very nice in his arms. Then the sobs came... "Da be sayin, 'Ya dinna be Lovin a Body, ye be Lovin a Heart. An I canna be helpin iffen I'se likes ta look at other boys... Wants ta touch them. I canna..."

"Shhhhhhh... It be ok, Rand. Them Farmer's Sons Lord it around here 'Cause their Da's got our Da's balls in their pockets. But someday we Grows up and Leaves here and We be a'snippin Their balls off." He reached down and rubbed the lad's crotch, getting a giggle...

"Da aint gonna be Home 'till Last Bell. Ma's... Not here anymore."

Rand nodded and kissed the fox, looking into his green eyes. Every fox he had seen had green eyes - Same with some cat-boys. Bunnies and dogs and mules had brown ones. "Ye been in the pond?"

Nhin shook his head gasping as the bunny undid his pants and knelt to rub his white nut-sack. "Why?"

"I dinna want mud up my nose, silly." Rand licked his sheath, caressing it.

Gods! Fagg - What a stupid word. Course his Da would rip the hide off his butt if he thought Nhin was one. The fox-boy could feel the hot breath stirring his sheath, making him groan softly and rub the long ears... Hands slid up his rump, squeezing it gently, making his heart race and flutter. One returned to caress his cock-holder, pushing it back as the knobs formed on the bobbing erection.

"It be a'niceun..." Nhin *blushed* as the rabbit played with his rump, arched as a soft tongue slid up the length.

"Slow or Fast, first?"

The fox opened his eyes wide. He had expected a licking and a groping... And to maybe get to nibble on the so Hot brown butt. But now the bunny had his cock inches from those soft pink lips and was saying First? And if First was in that muzzle then Second might be in that... That... Gods! His dick was engulfed, and his seed was sucked from his nuts, Rand's rough hands tugging on them. The male groaned, slowly falling down the dirt wall to puddle under the lad.

The rabbit mmmmmmm'd and sucked a little harder, bobbing his head on the pulsating meat. The fox-cum was salty and his dick tasted very nice... He lay next to the panting male and swallowed the 'length'. Let it soak in his muzzle, gently rubbing the furry nut-sack. Inhaled the spicy, musky scent of rut and hot boy.

Nhin stared at the creature... Did a Demon hump his Ma while Da was out one day? He rubbed the brown head and ears, getting a giggle and another long suck on his dick that made his toes curl... Oh Gods, don't lick my knot!

* * * *

They both lay that way for a long while, touching and nuzzling and giggling, until Rand got up and slid his pants off, giving the fox a very close look at his sexy butt. Nhin grabbed it, kissing and biting the bunny-buns, pushing the long legs apart to nuzzle the white balls... He watched the rump slide down his chest, his belly to...

"Rand?" got a giggle and a wriggle from the rabbit... Who took the still slick cock and pushed it against the tight ring under his short tail - Let it slip in, both of them groaning softly. Red hands gripped brown hips as the lad squatted slowly downward, holding the fox under him. Rand pulled up slowly too, getting a barked yelp when he teased the tip just inside his hole. Then down again to the knobs. Got on his knees, tucking his feet back and rolled his hips.

"Rand..." was moaned into a long ear, the male starting to push back, to find places on his body to caress and tease. Fast First, slow Second? Gods, Rand...

They slowly humped against each other, nipples being tweaked, feet being caressed, a brown neck nuzzled and nipped on. But it didn't last... The fox moaned as he thrust into the hot rabbit's hole, brain on fire with the feelings, the sensations... Fingers slid along his sides and up to grip his head, pulling it into a hungry kiss... And Nhin Wanted - Wanted more than a kiss, a quick hump. He wanted to lay with the bunny, to hold him and touch his body and kiss the lad when he cried. Gods! Was he falling in Love? But he was too young...

Rand mashed his nuts, wriggling that hot ass all over them, wanting all of his new friend inside his too tight rear... And got it - "Gods!" *Pop* In went the knobs, getting a giggle and a sigh... Hells - No mistaking the warm glow that giggle gave him.

"Rand..." Nhin said, hugging the boy to him, kissing the backs of the long ears, yipping as the passage Gripped him, tugging on his too sensitive flesh. "Aaaaaaa! Please Lover... Don't - I won't last..."

The head turned and a brown eye looked at him... "Lover..."

Gods, he hadn't meant to say that! "It slipped out - I didn't mean... Yipe!"

Muscles grabbed him down below, and Squeezed! "Lovers... That mean ye be doin this as offen as ye can?"

The fox swallowed and nodded... And he got *Squeezed* again, making him break out in a sweat. Then the bunny lay against him, taking his hand to curl it around... Gods, it was bigger than his! The lad rubbed his chest with a strong if bony back. Then giggled as the male groaned, hugging his Lover.

"Gotta keep it Secret... Dinna want them callin ya 'Fagg'. Ye is My Lover, not somethin Dirty..."

Nhin nodded and kissed the rabbit's head. He stroked the bunny-dick, finding what made the cute lad moan and what made him gasp. He helped Rand get off, arching and biting a brown ear as his own orgasm made him flood the too tight, too hot ass that sucked on him much the way the bunny's muzzle had... The fox-lad held the male and snuggled, chin on the strong shoulder, arm stroking the shivering boy. He found rabbits cum a lot - Especially young ones.

"Does ye take a while ta go down?"

The fox nibbled on a sexy long ear... "You gotta go squat outside?" A hand reached behind him and Squeezed his ass, pulling him tightly against the too hot butt, cute tail brushing his belly so wonderfully.

"Dinna want ta get my Lover in trouble by bein late ta Last meal... Eeep!"

Fox fingers teased his nuts. "I got a Meal here Iffen I gets Hungry." He bit Rand's ear again... Shivered at the giggle and the moan and the wriggle against his nuts. "I think it will be down a'fore that..."

But it didn't. Every time Nhin would pull out, the bunny would push back or would Tease his nuts or just *Sigh*... And after a few thrusts it would be in, knot and all. And they would be gripping each other, moaning, panting... Touching every place they could reach.

* * * *

As the light waned, they finally moved apart, then kissed and held hands all the way out of their new 'Love-nest'.

"Nhin..." The lad was suddenly shy, so the fox kissed him again. Why the burning ears Now? "Ye be my First... Not in the Mouth - Me and Tur been sucking since we knew it felt good. But back there..."

"Rand..." There were no words - First times were Special, Important. He simply Hugged the Rabbit, whispered "Lover..." in the Long ears. And "Tomorrow - Early, so we can do it Longer."

The russet lad got a nod and a wriggled cheek under his hand. Then the rabbit took his chin, looked him Straight in the eye. And said, "Love."

The hand touched his face, lips brushed his... And Nhin felt like he had been set on Fire! Yes, oh Yes! "Love..." The fox kissed his bunny deeply, reluctant to let go... And watched until the sexy ass was gone. But never forgotten - Gods! Nhin shook his head, heading home Himself. He touched his lips...

"Love."

* * * *

All Summer long, every chance the two got, they would run off to meet at the Tree, pants off the moment they were inside - Hugging and kissing and humping until they knew every moan and pant by heart. They knew how to wriggle and what to nip to get the other erect... And keep them erect. No matter how many times a week they made love, it was never enough - To be able to Kiss and hold hands and lay naked against each other... Of course someone would nip a sexy butt cheek, and someone would tweak a nipple and they were at it again, Rand usually on the Bottom because he enjoyed it too much to Top the fox.

Then Fall came with Harvest and they could never seem to get away... Stolen kisses and squeezed hands only made them want to be alone all the more. 'After Harvest', they promised each other... Winter when nothing was done in the Fields. Then they would catch up on their Desires, craft Rings... Keep them in their Special Place. Promised with all they had...

* * * *

"I never saw him again..." Sitting in his Lover's lap, the rabbit sniffed, and kissed Tama again. "I... I guess it was just a Summer Thing. Not to be..." Rand hugged the fox, not seeing the green eyes burn with anger... The lad moaned softly as his ears were caressed... Kissed.

'Blessings and curses usually came wrapped in the same package.' A very wise male had said that of Him once. Tama tossed the covers off and sighed. Slid the sexy male off him as well.

"Come with me." He lit a candle and taking the lad by the hand, walked to the main room. Tama opened the desk in the corner and took two copper coins from the various stacks. Put them in the rabbit's palm - Who looked up at him with wide eyes.

Rand knelt and kissed his scrotum. Put the coppers on the floor so he could stroke the fox's nut-sack, slipping the pointed tip between his lips, moving one hand to grip the bushy butt. Tama Growled, opening his muzzle to yell at the rabbit's daring... And whimpered when the lips slipped from his cock, the lad looking up at him - Gods, he was So Cute!

"Da says only to take what ya earn. And I haint earned Anything yet. Not near as much as that no how. I know you said 'In the Morning', and I shall - Every SunsRising and SunsLeaving until I have earned these coins."

He jiggled the furry nuts, kissing the dripping tip so softly and lovingly while still looking into the startled green eyes. Then the brown ones closed and Down went the head. Red ears quivered as the rabbit gently sucked on the length, soft lips and tongue Caressing the throbbing meat while Fingers rolled the testes in their holder - Then both hands shifted to caress and comb the red rump-fur.

The fox could only stand and groan as he felt the spark run up his spine. Fool Rabbit! Damnable Stubborn Pride... He gripped the long ears, rubbing them. Then slid his hands down to squeeze the shoulders as his hips arched, orgasm making him moan and go blind for a long moment. Butt pressed to the desk, his crotch pressed to the damp face, he felt the hot mouth tug on his cock, warm breath stir his fur, fingers cradle his aching balls. Tama Shivered as the rabbit swallowed, the tongue scraping his too-sensitive head. He managed to rummage a small purse from a drawer, and gave it to the young male.

Rand took it, put the coins inside... And all the while kept the still erect meat cradled along his tongue. And probably would have all night if Tama hadn't gently lifted the lad's head, took the purse back. He fetched a cup of water for them both - Gasped as the male drank, looking at him over the rim... So Sexy! The fox guided his half-asleep bunny-lad back to the bed. Slipped him into the covers, and sighed as the rabbit snuggled to him, rubbing the bony rump, wondering what he had gotten when he opened that door yesterday...

A hot, sexy male who was as cheeky as green wood, but also too damn cute to stay mad at. A soft kiss on his chest made Tama murr and squeeze the too thin butt again. He kissed the head snuggled against his chest.

"What Am I going to do with You?" He Laughed - Shook his head... Nibbled on the long ears. "Love you, Hump You, Teach you."

One of the appendages twitched, as if not believing the whispers...

Chapter Five - Washing Day

Tama woke with a moan and soft lips wrapped around his erection. Slow, long sucks combined with gentle caresses on his nuts had him blasting his seed into the hungry lad's muzzle much too quickly - For Rand. The rabbit very much enjoyed feeling the cock throb and flex in his mouth, and wished it to stay hard so he could lick it and kiss it and suckle on it... He *sighed* as a gentle reminder of the day's work ahead made him nod - And bob quickly, getting a second muzzleful of cream.

And not until the knobs went soft did he let it slip from his lips, back into it's white-furred holder. That got a soft kiss as the rabbit slid up to hug the panting fox, nuzzling the nipples that stuck out of the furry chest, Giggling as his Master moaned. The bunny had no idea how long he must work to earn those two coppers, but if it meant taking the fox's cock in his mouth every one of the Four Bells, it would be a duty he would willingly fulfill. And got a swat on his rear as he softly kissed the older male.

"Up, Sexy One...We have Company today."

The rabbit *yeeped* at the cold floor on his foot-pads, wriggling his rump as he made his way to the Eating room, putting on water for a bath and Tea. Then returned to snuggle up to the warm body again, caressing the still plump sheath. He kissed it, wondering how long before the contents came out to play again...

"Master Rornes. You mentioned wearing somethin for when the maids be a'comin - But I only have the apron you bought me." Another debt to be worked off, another soft caress that brought a groan from it's owner.

"P... Pants." Tama panted into a long ear, followed by a yowl as fingers rolled the white furred nut-holders, a too hot tongue working his nipples, followed by kisses all over his chest and stomach. A quick hand gripped the rabbit's ruff before the lad could get him hard yet again. Still not quick enough to stop lips touching his cock-tip, peeking out in response to all the lust he smelled.

"Traitor..." He muttered, before lifting the sexy bunny and kissing him long and hard. Hmmmf - Let Him pant for a while. The fox swatted the bony rump, getting them both out of bed, and pulling the sheets, blankets and case off it. They reeked of hot male (And other things), and he wanted no gossiping females taking those sheets by Themselves. Bundled with others, the scent was muted down to a tolerable level.

Tama showed the rabbit how to make the bed properly. Casing, then fitted sheet. Then a regular sheet, blanket and the comforter on top of it all. Took it off and made him redo it while the fox filled the kettles. He returned to nod at the shy male - Well done. Then he grabbed the bunny's nuts, teasing the bobbing erection... Made the lad walk all the way to the bath that way. Then he knelt and swallowed it, squeezing the bony ass, swallowing every drop of so sweet bunny-cum the white balls gave him.

The way those cheeks gripped his fingers, he might not wait until after Paying Day to take the Lad - Then again he may not be able to get hard again! At least he Hoped not to... All this sex was tiring, if a Lot of Fun. He dumped the rabbit into the tub, poured water on him, stirred it with a hand and jumped in himself. Washed the sputtering male, getting gropes and squeezes in return. Somehow, the tub got emptied, the pair dried off and even managed to be presentably dressed when the House-Cleaner rapped the knocker on the door.

* * * *

The squirrel grinned at the males, smelling sex on both of them. Still, a musty, too long shut in scent had her chittering at the fox... "Master Rornes, I tell you and tell you - You shut the windows, you shut out all the good air! In Winter, ok. But is not Winter, is Spring. And a new lad? Past time you got help with your work. You sit and sit and Get Fat. Now Out - Both of you." She held up a hand as her helpers came in with brushes and brooms and buckets.

"Don't touch the Shop. Don't re-arrange the canisters. I Will dust the desk, even if you growl. So much dust you leave prints. And what your customers say? Say Marigola not do good work... Out! Not to return until MidSun Bell - Unless you want to scrub floors."

Tama laughed and kissed the squirrel's hand, making her Blush and fluff her tail out. "Yes, Mistress Marigola." He put the little purse in Rand's hand.

"Come Apprentice - We have been ousted from our abode. Best not to upset Her Ladyship." The fox ducked a rag tossed at his ears. He pushed the lad in front of him, leaving the door open. Maybe she was right... It Was a little stuffy in there. He went around the side of the house to the shed, where a two-wheeled cart full of objects waited.

Rand stood, gaping at all the things - Chairs and posts and ornate scrollwork. Bigger pieces like tables and such the customer picked up - Or had delivered by wagon... The fox was not an Oxen. Most of the items would go to the Millwright, who would add the finer pieces to their own workings, while a few would be taken to customers who wanted something special for a Wedding or a Birthing... A child's desk and chair was well within his ability to create.

But First, a Morning meal. With a rabbit who tried his best not to wolf down the sweetcakes pressed on him by the cartfemale who winked at the fox. Gods, it would be all over Town by MidSun Bell! 'Master Rornes had taken a boy under his care' - And where did he Put it all? Tama paid for it, patting the rabbit's rear. They both pulled the cart, even though Rand tried his best to do it by himself.

"Put some more muscle on those bones and I might let you," got a shy grin. But he let the lad unload it at the Millwrights.

* * * *

Master Pteh was spare with his kindness but paid in Silver. And rubbed the rabbit's head with a gentle roughness, grinning at the fox. 'Bout time he got an apprentice. Maybe now those scrollworks and inlays and filigrees would come sooner than every other sixday. The fox had a talent for making Finery that eluded his best lads' efforts. A few more stops and goods exchanged for coin. Then they sat on the now empty cart in the shade and watched people go about their lives. Hawkers told how great their wares were compared to a rival's. Guards walked in precision across the streets.

"Rand?"

The rabbit turned to stare at a Fisher who barely fit the ragged coat and trousers he wore... Then the lad jumped off the cart and ran to hug the male, making Tama a tiny bit jealous...

Rand pulled the male over who bobbed in greeting. "Master Rornes, this is Ohfl. He works the Second farm over from my Da's."

"Me Lord." The Fisher took his hand, making the fox start. Lord - Him in his Second Best pants and shirt. He watched the lad take out his purse. Press the coins in the male's grubby palm, and the Fisher's eyes went wide, looking at the coppers.

"One to my Da. And one for you for takin it to him."

The male stuttered, trying to put the coins back in the rabbit's hand. Got the purse shoved in his calloused hands instead.

"Tell Ma to mend them holes in yer pockets. I be Apprenticed to Master Rornes now. He keeps me well, and pays me better than he should. You tell Da now, ok? I will sends all I can so he can Pays what he owes. And you tell Molli if she is good, maybe she will get a new dolly - With Pockets. And Tamm and Bele... You tell Ma I got New pants by Master Rornes, and I will work hard for him, and Pays him back as I be able. So no cryin, nor worryin - You know how Ma is. Take care of yerself Ohfl. Give the good Farmer Mees my wishes for a Good Harvest. Give Da the same."

Rand Hugged the Fisher, tried not to cry.

"Both Coppers ta yer Da... I aint drinkin like I been. 'Sides I be thinking Farmer Mees be wantin our Hides as well as our workin, the way he raised the Taxes - And he can have Mine, much good it be doin Him!"

The old male Kissed the rabbits cheek, whispering, "I weren't always Drunk them nights ye be layin besides me... And Ye still have the best muzzle on the Farm."

Rand returned to the cart, red as the sun... He waved to the male, who didn't quite run down the lane. Not quite. "Mister Ohfl likes to drink now and again but he is Good Folk. So Da says."

Tama held the rabbit's hand, and nodded. 'I think a bit more than just Good Folk, the way your ears Burn...' Damn! How much went on around his little town, that the fox knew nothing about?

The MidSun Bell made him slide off the cart and start walking back, looking over at his charge. When they got home, he was going to find out about Dolls and Dresses and Taxes... Mistress Marigola could ferret out what was needed - Discreetly. His own Master had done no less for a young gay fox, orphaned in a border war with only the clothes on his back and a desire to learn.

The badger had taken him in, taught him how to carve and how to work the lathe. Looked the other way when he found another male to love. Not that it lasted long. Not a Lover, as he had to find out the Hard way... The Crafter had left him enough gold to start his own business here in LaFaelt.

Tama felt his ears warm when the rabbit smiled. Could Love still burn in his old heart? Or was it lust for the so young, so innocent male... Maybe a bit of Both? Only time would tell. As they walked, the fox watched the sexy butt wriggle...

"Rand - How did you come to be at My Doorstep?" got a *Blush* and a stuttered step as the lad looked back at his Lover...

"Tur be a'Coming ta our Hut and a'Saying there mayhaps be a Job fer me..."

Chapter Six - The Long Walk

Rand stood, looking at his Ma. She was fretting over his Shirt - Three days ago he had turned Ten, and Tur had found a third-hand Longshirt. More Patch than Cloth, but he wore it as if it was new... 'Course he wouldn't Officially be 'of Age' until it was put in Some Book by a Priest. But that could wait until later - Right now he was being combed and trying not to cry 'cause Ma was tryin not to. Pants would have been nice but his next oldest sibling didn't wear them and he would swim in Da's - His shorts were not good enough to look for Work in, so it was a Shirt - 'Sides he could buy Pants when he got work. It coulda been a bit longer - Pull down the front and his butt showed. Cover his rear and his nuts appeared - A white patch in a sea of brown. Still, he would walk Naked to Town if it would Stop Da's frowns.

Tur had come back a sixday ago and said there were Jobs iffen ya could work. And they All could Work... Haulin Buckets of Water, Pullin Weeds. Pushing Rocks and Plantin the seeds and Jumpin on them cause yer dinna weigh enough to make the ground go back in.

"Ya be sure now?"

Rand nodded. He Had to - Da's taxes had gone up again. They could barely afford the Old Taxes - Least that was what Da said when he thought they couldn't hear. He kissed Ma. Kissed his Younger Sisters and Brothers. Got his sharp rock and finished Dolly's face for Keer. Added one of his loose hairs to the pile that stuck out of the wooden knot that was Dolly's head.

"Why you be a'leavin?"

Rand grinned and tied the rag that was Dolly's dress a little tighter, made sure the stick arms and legs were good for another round of 'Princess and King'.

"I be goin ta Town ta find Work."

Keer took Dolly and kissed his cheek - Brother could fix anything! The little one was happy she had Dolly again. Tomorrow she would give it to one of her sisters. They took turns with Dolly 'cause there was only one Dolly. The little bunny was sad too... Tur had left and now Rand.

"Why?" She didn't want him to leave - He was fun to grab in the bath... Brother blushed so nicely, long as you didn't grab hard. She liked looking at his Male-Thing, how it bounced and was warm in her hand. She didn't have one yet - Ma said when she got older she might get one... Or several. Adults were weird. Ma said a boy would Let her borrow his Male-Thing, kinda like Dolly. Keer hoped it was like her Brother Rand's... That was the one she liked best. She got a kiss on her head and giggled.

"So's I can work and get coin, so's I can be a'gettin a Real Princess dress fer Dolly."

He laughed as the boys made faces. "And a pair of King's Pants..." That made them smile.

Keer added, "Oh... But ye is'a commin back after ya gets a Dress and Pants and Coins."

Sometimes things didn't come back. The Plants died. The Birds died. They buried the Birds who were stiff on the cold ground. Some people ate Birds, but She thought that was Icky! Birds ate Bugs... And no matter how Hungry she was, Keer wasn't about ta eat Bugs - Not after the First one! Well, maybe with some Salt. Salt was given for Special times, and they made it last as long as they could. When he promised to come back (How could he give Dolly her clothes iffen he didn't), she whispered, "Put Salt in the Pockets, Please."

Sometimes Da's pockets had Salt. Sometimes coin that they could look at and tap together - If Da had more than one. Most times Da's pockets only had Dust in them... And that made Da sad. But they would say that Da had 'Da' in his pockets - And that was enough for them.

A cup of water and some cold soup from Last meal - He wouldn't be back for MidSun meal. The rabbit kissed his Mother's cheek... Which did start her crying. Then out the door and off like a Prince in a Robe to find Da... He found his Oldest Sister First.

Laeare put her water bucket down and Hugged Rand.

"Iffen I can, I will find Ye a Real Prince, Lae."

The white rabbit put her hands on her hips and snorted. "I would settle fer a Fat-pursed Merchant. Ye take care of yerself, Sexy-Butt." She called him that ever since he had waggled it at her. Well, she waggled hers! "And Stay away from the Street of Desires - Ye may be 'of Age' but Ye ain't Poachin any of My Lovers."

The lad laughed and Hugged his Sister again. Took her hands. "I will do what I have to... Da needs coins so Ye gots a Roof and Food, such as we has. 'Sides, my butt ain't That sexy."

She laughed and swatted his rear, then brushed off the dust. "Da is over the other side of the Ridge... And don't ye be stubbing yer toe and fallin in the dirt - Ma spent all last night washin and mending... And she would break a switch over your sexy butt iffen ya got that Shirt dirty."

He promised and Hugged her one last time. "Merchant, Fat Purse... That All ye be wantin him ta have that's Fat?" The lad Laughed and ran as she shook a fist at him. Lae liked 'em hung like a Mule...

Da stopped pulling the plow long enough to hug his son - Gently. It would be His butt switched if he got that shirt dirty. "Ye be careful in Town, hear? And if there be nae Work, ye come back ta Us... We's made it so far, we's will make it ok." But the lie was seen in the deep worry lines on his brow, and at the corners of his mouth. Rand nodded, shook the calloused hand, and took off for the Road.

Johsa sighed... His Da had been forced to leave Their home 'cause of Taxes. And he had left the Family hoping to find work. Found a wife and a patch of ground instead... Now two of His sons were leaving - But at least he knew Where they were. He hadn't seen nor heard from His Da since he left... The brown giant Sighed and bent down to heave another boulder out of his way - Damn Rocks! Someone should collect them and build fences or houses or something! Some fool said there be Gold in some of the white ones... And someday plows would pull themselves too!

He shook his head at what Fools believed was true. Then he wiped his face - Ground wasn't going to plow itself either. Back to it...

* * * *

Rand looked back a few times, but only a few. He walked a long way up the 'Main Road', nodding to the others who were also walking the glorified cart-path. He pulled a weed to chew on to keep his mouth wet. It was a nice day to be walking - The stones were warm on his feet, a breeze coming every now and again to cool his face, and bare legs. The bunny-lad Giggled at the stares as he passed, waved to some. They must like his Shirt...

What they actually liked was the sexy bunny-butt that showed through worn spots, or when the breeze lifted the 'Cloth'. The long brown legs and the white tail wagging so cutely above it all. Probably off to the Street of Desires... He was going to be Popular!

The lad padded past the Gates where bored guards waved him in with nary a look at his front, but stared at his rear until it disappeared. Where did Tur say to go? He asked a couple of people, thanking them politely. Nice Boy - Cute butt, sexy pair of balls. Definitely going to be popular in The House of the Twin Moons. All strays ended up Someplace in The Street of Desires... It might take a day of rejections and a cold night out on the cobblestones. But The Street took them all.

* * * *

Ah! He could see the sign - 'Tama Rornes, Wood Crafter.' To be able to work in wood with a Master. To make more than Buttons and Dolly heads and things that they hung in the windows because they looked pretty and sounded nice clacking together when the wind blew. The rabbit Swallowed... He thought of Da and Taxes and his Siblings as he stood at the Gate. If this Master Rornes didn't have a Position for him He would find Work. He would get the coins to pay Da's Taxes and get Salt to put in Dolly's Pockets and a Well-Hung Merchant for Lae. He would! Even if it meant - Selling his bony butt on The Street of Desires.

Well - Even if he did, it wouldn't be for Long. Tur was hoping to get Promoted from NightClerk to DayClerk soon... It was two coppers more a month in pay. But right now he had to wait and Paying Day for his older brother wasn't for two weeks. At least Tur got to sleep on a cot in the back, and two meals a day. The rabbit swallowed... Rand wasn't going to Cry. Wasn't going to Faint. Wasn't going to pee himself - He was Of Age, Dammit! He was...

Chapter Seven - A Real Apprentice

Tama stopped the cart and Kissed his bunny right there in the Middle of the Street! They stopped by a church to get his Lover registered as both 'Of Adult Age' and His Apprentice.

"No more talk about the Street of Desires!" got a giggle and another Kiss...

"Only if My Master wishes me to... Eeeep!" He walked a little faster as the fox swatted his butt, both of them grinning like drunken idiots...

* * * *

The squirrel laughed quietly, watching the two males come up the Lane. 'Bout time Master Fox got some color on his face!

"I put the milk in the Cold Box, Master Rornes. Laundry is done, and if I may say - You need a new vest. One with some Gold thread. You is a Craftsman. And did this Scamp make ye Run all the way? Or be there Another reason ye be Huffing..." She Grinned at the youth who blushed at the swat on His rear from the calloused squirrel-hand.

"Dolls, eh? For rabbits. What's the Family's name? Ah. Them I know of. Along with a dozen other families who works the lands for Farmers. Such as they are called. Pah..." Mistress Marigola took a dim view of those who lived on the sweat of others. She pinched the fox's butt, who yipped and found Himself blushing as well.

"A silver extra and I will make sure they gets what they needs. He is good stock, that boy is. You work him well, feed him good. He be true to you. Be good for a stupid fox sitting in the mustiness and dark - Open some windows. Get some curtains. Burn less candles. Or not, and show off your Hot, naked selves to all who pass by."

The squirrel took the coins and shooed the others out, but not before giving Mister Fox's rump another pat - He had a cute one. Nice and round with enough padding to make it worth Grabbing. Now he had a boy to take care of... Someone to romp in the sheets with. Someone to make food for and care after. Coins clinked in her apron pocket - And generous too. She gathered her girls and walked to the next place, listening to them whisper... They could keep quiet as well as she could. Just let someone say a bad word about the fox - Mistress Marigola may be only a head taller than a yardstick, but her hands were hard as Boiled Leather.

* * * *

Tama closed the door and swatted the rabbit's butt. "Not a word From You about this, now..."

He fetched a glass of milk for the lad, an ale for himself and made two sandwiches. Then peeled his clothes off, making sure they were folded and placed back in the closet, along with the smaller pair. Donned his apron, getting the fires lit under the glue pots and putting a broom in Rand's hands.

"You want to pay me back? Clean. I don't trust those gagglers in here. You know what is Scrap, what is Firewood and what is worth keeping at least."

He *murred* at a kiss on his exposed rump... And sat at the lathe, pushing the treadle down, working the post bit by bit, using sanding scale and rasps to fine-tune the rounds and valleys, keeping an eye on the belt - It had a tendency to jump off the pulley if worked too fast. The fox stopped a moment and admired his work. It was as easy to Over-do as it was to Under-do - But this was Just Right.

He took it off and added it to a set of three others, making sure they all looked the same. Then grinned and kissed the startled rabbit.

"Put these in the cart, and put it in the shed. I think you may have brought me some Luck, lad."

Tama whistled a snatch of something as he selected a few pieces for his Apprentice to work on when he got back. Strips for inlay, blocks for cutting boards. Shaved pieces to steam-bend for borders and other needs. He waited for the rabbit to return to hug him and patted the cute butt again. A quick peek out the door to find the cart in the shed and the doors closed. Well...

The fox went back in, giving the lad some wood, a small saw, and instructions on what he wanted done. Which wood to glue and in what order. He left the puzzled but happy rabbit to go to his desk and get his order book. Damn... Those posts had taken forever to finish. Hmmmm - The usual batch of pieces for Master Pteh, a single table top to decorate. Have to hire a wagon for that - A couple of easy days work. He looked down the hall, grinning. So someone wanted to be his Female, did they?

What did he have that was slick... The male rummaged for oil, grease. Something - Well... Not Axle Grease. It worked, but - Yuk. Ah. Some kind of... *Sniff* - Ugh. Oh yes. Sunderflower. A gift. No way he was using That to cook with! But it could be used for Other things - Like lubing that damn squeaky treadle... Also good for making wood shine, and lubing up tight holes - Well, long as the lad washed after... Heh, Long after if he got his knot in that hot ass - Sheesh, why not just Mate him and be done! Hmmmm... It was easy to fall in Love. Much harder to Stay in Love.... Best to start small, and work up to a larger task.

Tama went back to see how the bunny was doing. Doing quite well, actually. A few beginner mistakes but that was to be expected. He rubbed the lad's head, grinning - Got one back with a glance at his crotch...

'Oh you Will get it, I promise - But you have to finish your Work first.'

He returned to the Eating room, humming as he made up Last meal as he had not in months. Maybe not since last year. But then again last year he didn't have a sexy rabbit to cook for. One last quick look - Rand was doing fine. Hadn't cut off anything nor glued his fingers together. The fox showed the lad how to use a stone to do a rough sharpening on the saw - Might make an Apprentice out of him yet! He marked a day on the calendar to get everything sharpened by an expert. Some things are better off paying for.

Tama finished his preparations. Got the pot in the fire, the dough on the hearth. Now all he had to do was wait...

* * * *

Rand finished gluing the last strips, putting them in a pattern. *SniffSniff* - Something smelled very good. Almost enough to distract him from a problem. It didn't look right... He tried another pattern. Still didn't look right. The rabbit let the small fires die out. Better to restart them than to try and fix glue-pots boiled dry.

"Master Rornes - It's not Right."

The fox walked in, looked at the inlays. He nodded - Dipped a finger in a water cup. Rubbed the four pieces. Placed them in the corners against a lighter block.

"It still needs to be sanded, but this will give you an idea."

Raw as it was, it still looked pretty. The rabbit sighed, then giggled at the pat on his rear.

"Get cleaned up for Evening meal." Both aprons went on pegs, both males washed their hands. The youth sat down, this time smiling as the cups and plates came out, allowed to help set the table.

Rand giggled as he sipped his cup of ale. Carefully put a piece of bread (Or whatever the lumpy thing was) on his plate, and took the bowl of stew from the fox. Spoke Graces, and kissed his Master. Ate as slowly as a starving wolf... Got seconds on everything. He burped and giggled, the ale making him light headed. Master told him to take a little pot to the bed, then make the bath ready.

Tama did the dishes, letting them dry on a rack he had made many years ago. Perhaps the rabbit could do one as well... Always good to hone one's skills on easy things. He got the lad in the water, grinning at the giggles and sloppy kisses and gropings as he washed both of them. Dried on clean towels that smelled of Spring air.

The fox closed up the house, except for a few small windows. It would be cool, but not cold. He returned to find Rand sitting on the bed, looking at the pot, a small fire already burning. Sober enough to be trembling, and curious as to why the fox held a bowl in his hands.

"Master?" Hands tucked between trembling legs, he looked at the fox, noting a glint in the green eyes.

"Still want to be my... Female? Pah! Lover. You will never be a Female."

The bunny-lad giggled again and Blushed so fetchingly as he bit his lower lip, but nodded. Then he got up and leaned over the bed, legs apart, tail wagging and up to show the pretty pink hole that made the fox growl and kneel to kiss it, making the youth shiver and moan softly... Push back against the hot lips, the warm tongue that teased him so. He was disappointed when it left, giggling when teeth bit his rump, quick nips that made his dick bob and sway between his legs. A finger touched his ring, slick and warm. Pushed inside, making the rabbit flinch - It had been a Long while since someone had held him with more than just a quick hump on their minds...

"It will hurt less if you relax." was whispered in an ear, more nibbles along the fleshy length taking his breath away. How was he supposed to relax! Rand somehow managed, feeling the digit go deeper inside him. He moaned loudly as it slid back and forth, touching places inside him that sparked Lust and Need and Heat. It slid out, to be replaced by something much hotter, thicker and already dripping pre.

Rand squeezed the sheet with shaky fingers, wanting this so badly. But also afraid... Would he be just a Plaything? Like the Farmlads who used him then Tossed him aside? Like... The lad buried his head to cover the scream as the pointed tip breached his anal-ring, pushing inside slowly.

'Gods he is Huge!' bounced around in the bunny's head. He arched up as fingers found his erection, teasing the tip, pointing it at the cup on the bed. His rump waggled as another inch was pushed in.

"Godssss..." The bunny-boy hissed, a deeper echo from his Lover making the long ears twitch. There was pain, but there was also heat, a burning itch that made him want to shove back until he could grind his cheeks against the so sexy ball-sack. Like before - Like another male not so well-endowed...

"Ma... Masterrrr!" He screamed as fangs bit his neck, several feet of log plowed into his back-passage, making it stretch to accommodate the intruder... And cum exploded from his cock. Every pulse made him squeeze the canine penis in his guts, squeeze and stroke and pull on it until, with a muffled howl, it spurted jets of wet heat into him.

The feel... The smell... The Memories it brought back! The rabbit's knees buckled, held impaled by the pulsating cock, his own still jerking, adding to the puddle in the bowl. Part of him noted Master thought ahead - Sticky sheets meant pulled fur. A small but well stoked fire would last long into the night so they wouldn't have to get up. The rest of him was shuddering, trying to coax one more inch in, trying to cope with the feelings. Fingers wrapped around his balls, fingers tweaking his nipples. His back pressed against the strong chest, hands gripping what they could of the fox, which was mostly butt-fur. He moaned as the throbbing cock moved slightly. Moaned louder into the hot mouth that smothered his, tongues flexing against each other. One last stroke on his cock and Rand fell on the bed, unable to do more than pant.

Tama moved the bowl, pushing his new Lover farther into the bed, managing to get the lad and himself inside the covers, somehow still buried in the incredibly tight bunny-butt. He *Yipped* as the rabbit squeezed him again, a hand rubbing his leg, a long foot caressing his toes. He nibbled on the long ears in retaliation, and felt the body stiffen - Then go limp.

The fox chuckled, "Going to have to have more stamina than That if you want to keep up with me Lad."

Famous Last Words! He caressed the heaving chest and stomach, licked the pre off his fingers, turned the head to kiss the closed eyelids, the panting muzzle... Tama snuggled the lad and fell asleep himself.

Chapter Eight - Lovers

Rand awoke to aches in muscles he didn't know he had... And an urge. Hastily moving his Master's arm, the rabbit kissed the still sleeping fox, and scrambled out of the bed. He ran down the hall to the Water Pot, groaning as he dumped quite a bit of sticky droppings in it. The bunny moaned softly as the cool cloth tamed the burn under his tail. Gods... Then he Blushed, already wanting the fox-cock inside him again, his own dick stiffening as what happened last night came back in force - So much like That Summer...

"I won't cry... I Won't! He isn't That male, he will Love me for Real... And iffen he be Not, I will take whats I Get - Copper for Da. A hot cock ta be kissin and stuffin under my tail. He called me Lover - And it Will Be Enough, Dammit!" The lad wiped away stubborn tears, flushed as he was taught, using a little water to wash his rump off - No Blood.

He put the water on for Tea and bathing, then snuck a bite of leftover bread. It was a little chewy and burned in places, but it filled the belly. Returning to the bed, the horny bunny dipped a couple of fingers in the oil-pot, pushing then as deep as they would go under his tail - Oh Gods! He almost came again just from the waggling and pushing... It Had been too long. Rand wiped the excess on his thighs and crawled into the bed, lifting the covers so he could gaze on his Master's body. The so strong arms and chest, round belly, fat balls, and firm sheath he caressed as he lay his head on the fox's chest, waiting for his Master to wake - Hoping the day's workload might be a light one so he could hump his Lover.

A tear rolled down the cheek, wetting the white chest-fur - Lover. Master had called him Lover, not Slave or Toy. And no matter what He wanted, it Would be enough... The rabbit gently tugged the sheath down to kiss the pink tip, swirling his tongue around it, loving the feeling of it, watching it swell then closing his eyes and straddled it, rubbing it between his cheeks until it was full, and the knobs firmly holding back the sheath. He had to almost sit down, but it slid in easier this time, and the rabbit moaned quietly, not wanting to wake the fox. At least not until he got it All inside.

* * * *

Tama woke to something hot and way too tight wrapped around his dick. Fingers gripped it, and moaned grunts made his ears twitch. The fox Groaned himself - Damn Fool! He opened his eyes to see the rabbit grinding his butt around, trying his best to get those last inches in... Toes curled, lips bitten, sweat popping from the forehead the lad was determined to get it All...

'And Gods - Wasn't he the sexiest thing I have ever seen, still!' "Hey..." the fox said softly, reaching up to caress the tear-streaked cheek. "Nobody does it all in one day. Not even Rock-Headed Young Rabbits... Is that the kettle I hear?"

Rand jerked, then sighed. He leaned forward to kiss the fox, letting the hard-won inches slip from his rear. He Squeezed his lover's erection one last time, then slid off the bed to walk a little crookedly into the Eating room. Tama laughed and got up to help, putting aside one pot and carrying the other to the tub. Stoppered it, poured and mixed and sat, eyes closing. Until a hot ass plopped into his lap, his erection slithering into a Hotter tail-hole. He Growled - Then sighed, snuggled the rabbit, wincing as his nuts complained about the butt mashing them. And about the abuse they had to endure over the last few days. Let them!

The Lovers lay together until the water got too cold. The fox reached behind him and pulled the stopper, nibbling on the long ears, getting the lad to giggle and move that too sexy butt. "If you want Morning meal, you will have to get up. And Work - We can't just lay abed and expect people to drop coins in out hats. Unless you want to go outside and let them watch." Look at those cute ears turn red.

Tama reached around and tugged the hard rabbit dick, stroking it until the bunny arched, semen shooting all over the so sexy toes. Almost did so himself as muscles gripped and squeezed his dick. The fox gently lifted his lover... Then attacked the so cute feet, making the bunny screech and laugh, wriggling those toes in his muzzle. He slid his tongue up those so long legs, nibbling on Rand's calves because it made the lad shriek and giggle... Besides, it was Fun!

The fox kissed them, moving up to suck on the white nut-sack, pressing his teeth in, getting a gentle tap on his forehead as the rabbit-cock sprang back to fullness. Green eyes looked into half-lidded brown ones.

"Morning meal goin to be cream, Ma... Lover? Urf!"

Tama kissed the rabbit, shoving him against the back of the tub. "You called me Lover."

The bunny nodded, and hugged the fox, kissing him again, moving his legs to slide them over the russet-furred butt, rubbing his dripping cock against the warm stomach, hands in the fox's head-fur, enjoying pressing lips with the older male.

"It be ok?" got another long kiss, and a Silly grin... The lad Sighed as the fox-dick softened and slipped back into it's holder.

Rand snuggled against his lover. Dare he Hope? 'Be Content With The Crop Ye Have', Da would say. He looked into those so pretty Green Eyes... "If my Lover wanted me on hands and knees in the front yard and for a copper a pitch passerby could watch you thrustin in me, I would do so. So's we could lay abed and kiss like this. But tisn't My stomach that is growling. And I dinna think I can pop enough times to fill ye..." Another soft kiss. "But I be a'willin ta try."

Tama howled and nuzzled the giggling male. Got up and put the kettle back on the fire, stoking it up. Hang tea! He would sup on his Lover's Kisses - And bread. The fox brought both with a couple of cups of ale and thoroughly washed Rand's sticky body while nipping on the pink nipples and teasing the sexy brown butt. They fed each other bits of bread, sips of ale and the occasional splash of water with the dipper until nothing remained. Toweled each other off and padded off to work past the MidSun Bell, swapping butt-grabs on the way to the wood pile or glue pots. A couple of chairs, a stout chest and even a breadbox took shape.

* * * *

Evening meal was sandwiches, more ale and they snuggled in bed, after a quick rinse to get rid of any dust. Tama murred and nipped his lover's long ears, swatting the wriggling rump that kept rubbing his crotch.

"Tomorrow is soon enough to continue your lessons, Young Apprentice Rand."

And laughed out loud at the look the rabbit gave him over one sexy shoulder, leaning over to kiss the sweet, hot lips. "I am not a young todd nor a young rabbit. I have to rest sometime. And that means no sex. Mind if the need is too great, I don't mind watching your hot ass wriggle as you pump your dick."

Rand turned around and Hugged the fox tightly, kissing the soft chest fur.

Tama chuckled, nuzzling the long ears. Heard singers and laughter. Paying Day. The inns would be full, and heads would throb tomorrow. He Kissed the rabbit's head, listening to him breathe. How did he get so tangled up in just four days... Before, all he thought of wood and bills and loneliness. Now - All he thought about was the sexy lad in bed with him. Let his balls hurt, he would survive. The fox tipped his Lovers' face up, kissing it.

"Sir?" the rabbit sleepily asked, giggling as his butt was squeezed, wriggling it. "Want me after all, then?"

The lad was a little disappointed at the shake of the russet head... But only a little - Rand jerked up, staring into the green eyes. Did he just hear... Did the fox just say...

'Oh Yes Rabbit - I too have heard those words whispered in my ears by one who didn't mean it...'

"Love you." Tama repeated, kissing the wide-eyed lad.

Rand Blushed, but slipping his hands around the male, squeezed the sexy butt. He gently kissed the fox, then deepened it, stopping only long enough to whisper, "Love ye back. Tama my Master, my Lover..." 'Gods That Made us - Please let it be True, please!' Rand snuggled the fox, wondering what the days ahead would bring. A painful butt, aching muscles. Maybe an aching brain too? So much to learn!

"Tama... Lover? What does ye want fer Morning meal - Besides me, I means."

The bunny Yeeped as his butt was swatted. Giggling far too much for his liking... Well, maybe not. Not when his Lover's eyes sparkled like that. Not when those fingers made him gasp and moan and want the male humping him, sleeping beside him, over him. His long ears twitched as he kissed the fox again.

"Lover?"

Tama shivered as the fingers dug into his rump, the brown eyes shining in the wan light of the fire. Praying Day came after Paying Day. And not just because the priests called to the people to worship. Many would be Praying their heads didn't blow off their shoulders. And He would be Praying for his Balls! Hmmf - That was a bad thing? He nuzzled the rabbit. Lover - How wonderful it sounded. The fox got a soft giggle and another kiss...

"First meal?"

"Your sexy butt. And whatever we can scrounge. FirstDay will come after tomorrow. And we will go shopping again. I promised you Jam, didn't I? I can't promise it will be as sweet as you, however." 'Bunny is So cute when he blushes like that... Gods, I could fall in Love with you all over again - Maybe I Am...' The fox got a kiss and brown eyes looking into his.... Tama shoved the lad on his back and tickled his love until the rabbit squealed for mercy... Hah!

"And who was this Ohfl - Another Lover? Tell, Rabbit - Or I shall keep on..."

Rand giggled... Kissed the fox. "Be promise'n never ta tell anyone else? One night, me Oldest brother be a'takin me hand and we snuck outta the Hut we lived in..."

Chapter Nine - Out in the Fields

"Shhhhhh..." Tur said, leading his brother along the furrows, weaving in and out of the stalks. "Come'on..."

Rand tried not to giggle, knowing it was something special to make Tur forget about sleeping. Only the moon's wan light laced with long shadows allowed them to see anything when they came to an open patch of ground. There lay a body... The lad wasn't sure he wanted to get closer until a muffled snore broke the stillness.

The older rabbit chuckled into a hand. It was Mister Ohfl, the Fisher. And he was drunk again... Mister Ohfl didn't have any family, so Da kinda looked after him. "What are you do-"

Tur shushed his younger brother again, motioning him closer. Not that it mattered... Once Mister Ohfl passed out, you woke him with a bucket of water over the head - Or not at all. They both studied the adult, laying on his belly. Poked his side with a toe, ready to run if he twitched. The lads squatted and played with his long tail, sliding the fur through their fingers. It looked strange in the silver moonlight, kinda like some FireTale of FairyFolk with silver rimmed hair.

"You wanna?"

Rand wasn't sure wanna What until Tur patted the cloth-covered rump.

"We is gonna get in Trouble... He caint say Yes Iffen we asked... 'Sides, he might wake."

The white rabbit tickled the brown foot, got a snort, and the toes curled... That was it. They both giggled and looked around in case someone Might see them... Then carefully, they turned the Fisher on his side, and undid the pants - Mister Ohfl didn't wear any belt, and it only took the top button. Carefully, the rabbit's laid him on his belly again, waiting... A grunt as his pants came off his rump, but all the male did was reach back and scratch, shove them down more, pulling his tail out and grunt - *Prout*

Gods! Both boys had to wave the air and hold their noses before getting a little closer. Worse than Da's - If that could be believed... In the moonlight they carefully sat, touching his rear. Leaned close to smell it, ready to pull back if another stink-bomb went off. So far the rump was like theirs and Da's... They gently lifted the longer tail and peered at the pink ring. Went back to caressing and nuzzling his cheeks, giggling softly. This felt real good... And Mister Ohfl didn't seem to mind either. They massaged his legs, feeling the muscles. Pretty much the same as theirs, just bigger. Tur was about done, but Rand was still curious. He motioned his older brother to help him turn the male over on his back.

"Fagg..." The white bunny slapping his brother's brown rear... But they both fondled the big nut-sack and sheath, until the shadows moved their stripes a little more.

"Don't be too long in your Studies, brother." Tur kissed the brown cheek, patted the lower one.... And got a nod in return.

* * * *

Rand Watched the 'ghost-bunny' disappear into the long stalks. He looked around again, then studied the Fisher's face... Still out cold. The lad knelt and kissed the sheath's opening, letting his tongue slip in to touch the maleness. It tasted much different than his or Tur's... He hoped it wasn't Too big, he wanted to suck it, not choke on it. Stroking the furry holder got a soft moan and a stirring... So he worked it a little faster, still careful. Not that he was worried about Mister Ohfl waking up... But dicks can be bent, bruised. And he didn't want his perhaps Only chance to get an adult's maleness in his mouth to end in pain for either of them.

It took a while, but with more strokes and kisses and licks, the cock slid out to wave at the bunny, who giggled softly as he took the tip between his lips, closing his eyes and letting the log slip along his tongue. Mmmmmmmmm - He loved Pre. So sweet and so sticky. Cum was ok, he preferred it be a little salty or starchy. If it was bitter he would swallow it quickly, and wait until the sweet pre came back.

The maleness was throbbing fully-erect, so he slipped it out of his mouth to measure it with his hand. It was too long for his rear, but he could breathe if it was in his throat... Rand wasn't sure if he should caress it and suck to see what the Fisher's cream tasted like - Or if he should just swallow it and feel it pulse in his gullet. Urf! It was getting cold. The bunny-lad sighed... Ah well, he could taste the male's semen another time - Hopefully there would Be another time. He licked his lips and slowly engulfed the erection, turning his body a little to lay beside the Adult. He felt the head touch his throat opening... Inhaled the smell of Rut and hot Fisher-meat. He closed his eyes again and swallowing, pushed his head down, murfling as the monster slid in with no trouble. Wow! His lips were pressed to the sheath and he felt his throat pushed open... It was getting a little hard to breathe - Especially when the shaft expanded as he swallowed, squeezing the cock. But it was so warm and so nice... The rabbit gently bit the base, sliding his tongue along the underside.

"No bitin now, Mearh..." A hand grabbed his head, and Rand almost gagged in surprise. Mearh was one of Farmer Mees' Sons. One of the boys who laughed at him and called him Fagg. The hips rolled under his face, pushing up, then sliding back down.

"Been practicin fer me? Never took it All before..." The other hand took his and slid it over the big rump, the rabbit squeezing it reflexively. And he swallowed again, making the male gasp.

The bunny reached down and played with the big nuts, rolling them around, waiting to see what would happen next. Which was the hips pushed the sheath against his lips, pulled back and pushed in again... More sticky liquid dribbled down into his stomach and Rand shivered, sucking, swallowing. Pushing his head down, he managed to get another finger's worth of meat to take in his eager mouth.

"Gods, ye have been... Oh... Oh... Aaaaaaaaah!" The rough hand squeezed his head, the hips smashed his face into the crotch and for a minute the lad couldn't breathe... But he had every pulsating inch down his throat, mashing his tongue and pushing his jaw down just a little as the whole thing squirted hot thick stuff into his belly. He pulled up, took a long breath... And got a screech from the Fisher, when he swallowed, his muzzle tight around the fat maleness.

Rand bobbed his head, wanting everything he could get... Which was pants and moans and the Adult begging him Not to do Something... But it came out all broken. So he only bobbed a little, pulling up to get a taste... Weird - A bit like Da's drink he didn't care for called Ale. So he just shoved it all down his throat again, and Swallowed, squeezing the flesh, feeling the veins throb against the inside of his mouth.

A few more squirts and it started to get soft... But only a little. Enough so he could breathe easier. Enough for him to use his tongue to gently lick the skin around the base. Which got another soft moan... And the rough hand rubbing his head. The hips fell back, and Rand had to move his hand or it would have gotten trapped.

'Yeah, ummmm... I found him like this and put my hand under his butt...' It would be Da's hand on His butt for not waiting until the male could be asked proper. But it did mean he could use both hands to play with the warm nut-sack, a handful in his fingers.

Any hope for a second gusher went with a snore and the big hand falling off his head. Damn! Well, one can't be greedy. It was getting cold, and the warm dick was slowly slipping through his lips. One last soft suck got a wad of pre and then it disappeared like a pink worm - But he weren't no Bird ta peck at it... Rand kissed the head as it vanished, swallowed the last bit. Full and sleepy, he snuggled against the big male who turned on his side and pulled the bunny lad against him, nuzzled his ears as he pulled a big arm over his side, holding it.

The bunny Wriggled his rump in the crotch but got no response... He had done his job a little Too Well. Reaching back and gently caressed the sheath and nuts, the tired lad got them in position so his legs wouldn't pinch. And fell asleep, thinking he had to wake when the SunsRising came so he could get home...

* * * *

And that was how Johsa found them - Ohfl with his pants to his knees, snuggled against Rand who had his On, holding the Fisher's hand against his chest. The Rabbit had some idea of what had gone on (He too had been a young, curious buck once), but All he could say for sure was his son had found the male and lay beside him to keep warm. It was still cool, and they both shivered a little. He woke the little bunny by tickling his feet...

"Da - Wha? Oh... Me and Tur found him out here and I dinna wanted ta leave him like this. I guess I missed First meal."

A chuckle as Da shook his head, knowing it was part-lie and part-truth. He sent the boy on his way with a soft swat. "Ma will get you some. Then I want you studyin until the shadows hit the Second Scratch on the Wall. Then - If Ma agrees, you can come out and Weed."

The rabbit lad nodded, running off back home. Johsa grinned... And knelt, rubbing the brown ball-sack. Got a groan. "Hey Drunk - You been a'Poachin me Boys?"

Got a louder groan. "Johsa? Gods - Help me up... What happened to my pants?"

The big male chuckled... "I dinna Know - I found Rand a'snugged up ta yer belly and both of ye shivering..."

The brown eyes looked into his. "Was his down too?"

Johsa shook his head, which got a relieved sigh. "Just yours. But iffen ya asked, he might..."

Ohfl laughed, then pulled the worn cloth up and buttoned his Top button. "Well - I must like Females still, Then." The Fisher Sighed with relief he hadn't taken advantage of the lad while they lay together. He patted the big male's back. "You got a Good Family, Good boys Johsa. I be tryin not ta pass out in the Fields... Dinna want the young scamp ta think he needs bein me blanket."

They both laughed... But every time the Fisher passed out in the Fields, he found his legs ached less and his nuts More... And Mearh Still couldn't swallow it all.

* * * *

"Or so I heard later..."

Gods! Fingers caressed his foxy hard-on as Tama nuzzled the too cute face... He laughed as the tip was kissed softly. Reaching down, he swatted the hot brown ass...

"Sleep Sexy. We have work to do on the Morrow."

And work they did. But not so hard there wasn't time for kissing and butt-grabbing and Yipping as a stray hand would reach between sexy legs to play with a fat ball-sack. The Last Bell rang and they washed, ate and jumped in bed, giggling and moaning and nuzzling each other like Newly Found Lovers do.

Chapter Ten - Tama's Story

One evening, after a long, slow Candlemark of lovemaking, Rand was teasing a pink nipple, nuzzling his Lover... "Tama - Why does ya whimper? I told ya why I came... And Who my first love be. Please - Tell me about your Cubhood... Why ye cry when ye think I dinna notice..."

The fox sighed and nodded... Closed his eyes and spoke quietly - But with every word, the long ears went lower and lower, until they pressed against the brown back tightly...

* * * *

First Rule: Laws and Ethics are for Peacetime. In War, the Victors write History

A young fox crouches behind what was left of a stone wall. Ma had shoved him out the back door with a blanket, a bag of whatever she could grab and a kiss on his cheek. That was a couple of SunsRisings ago. The bag was empty and stuffed in a pocket - Crusty with dried tears, it still smelled Faintly of Ma. Borders and War and Territory meant nothing to the hungry, shivering lad. All he knew was Da was a pelt hanging on the Door, dripping blood down the steps. Ma was a sack of meat that had been raped several times and then stabbed when she wasn't 'Fun' anymore. He hadn't gone far... Enough to hear every scream and shriek and laugh. Enough to watch them toss his Da's head in the street, piled with other males who 'resisted'. The Females? They got knocked in the head - 'Plenty to go around.' Cubs were 'Good Cock Warmers' - Especially the screamers. It hadn't taken the raiders long to decimate the small village. To leave it, not even bothering to burn the row of huts - Why waste the matches?

Tama knew he should run, but he couldn't. He had to stay long enough to close Da's green eyes, and Mister Myhn's and Mister Lujsi's and... To kiss Ma's cheek - Except for the smell and the ugly wounds, she looked like she was sleeping. For once he was Glad he was an only Cub, the others had been dragged off weeping - Those Worth taking that is. The rest were laying where they had fallen... Some with stab wounds, others with tongues hanging out because they had been strangled, or had their heads bashed in. All of them had been used by the males. He closed their eyelids too - Better they not see what had happened... There was a Little food left and he felt guilty taking it, but knew none would be coming back for it - Any of the young ones would didn't die along the way, would be sold to Houses as 'Wildlings, ready to be Tamed - For the Right Price.' One last look around and he Had to go - Scavengers both Two and Four legged would arrive as soon as it was safe. A fox cub would just be a 'Plaything' - Or a Snack.

Second Rule: Cry Quietly - Those whom they don't hear, They can't find

Tama walked, and ran and skittered from tree to bush to flop by creeks and roadsides at every sound. It didn't matter which Patrol found him - He had watched plenty of kits beg for help... And get Raped. The Lucky ones only had to 'Service' Five or Six males before having their throats cut. The ones who were Good or Tight and Lived through the experience found themselves collared, chained - Kneeling with their ankles tied, waiting for someone to Feed them, use them. Kill them... Bruised, starving, but alive he stole green fruit, handfuls of grain. Chewed on grass and leaves when nothing else could be found. Always Northward - Away from the Borders. Away from the sounds of Death and Pillage...

The young fox found a priest - More like Got found trying to gnaw bark off a tree. He also got the first warm bath in ages, and his pants washed - But not the tattered rag that he held onto with snarls for any who wanted to take it away. The lad slept in a Real Bed with a Real Blanket. Woke and ate until he was sick...

Tama Sighed, knowing how he was going to pay for it... But when he reached for the furry balls, he got a hug instead! The youth got to Cry long and loud for the first time in a half-month. Got to put his pants on and tell his tale, and got his hand held while all of it came out in a stream of Horror - Told in a monotone as if it was a Bad Dream... Tama, a Fox with no Family. From a Dead, soon to be Forgotten Village - One more refugee, running from Greed and Stupidity. It didn't matter Who sat on the Chair in the ManorHouse - To the People of the Land, they were Names one sent ones' Taxes to... And Sometimes Sons and Daughters.

Third Rule: Sleep With One Eye Open and One Ear Cocked

He was sent off with the Priest's Blessing and a half-loaf of bread - The War was still too close, and there were too many other needy people for him to stay... But at least he had Hope. His Mother's blanket bought a night's sleep in a barn and the name of a Crafter in a City, who might need an apprentice. Hope made him get up from wherever he had fallen the night before and walk. To snatch what he could, work for whoever would hire him. He actually got to ride in a cart into the Town of Scinity. After helping unload it, the fox-lad walked to the small shop of Master Rornes and asked if he might need someone. When he was asked who sent him, the name got a tear from the badger who had gotten word not a sixday ago that neither Aunt nor Farm existed any longer.

Rornes took the lad in and made him bathe - Twice, as Mud was all that was left the First go around. The male listened to his story, then kissed the russet cheek, tucking the fox into a cot - He didn't go for Males, and his Wife-to-be had been living with the Aunt.

Tama learned all the Crafter knew about wood and carving and inlays. His father had crafted - Mostly twigs for his Son. But their wood bowls were decorated and the wood cups Ma had sewn scraps to wrap around. The badger retired to marry again. Tama had a brief fling that left him bitter, selling the shop and moving to LaFaelt. Where a certain rabbit came to knock on his door one day...

* * * *

"Love..." Rand gasped, kissing the fox, hugging him tightly. "And I thought I been given too many Weeds ta pull..."

He pushed Tama down on the bed, went to wash his rump off, stuffing a couple of fingers worth of lube under his tail. The rabbit returned with two cups of wine, and he lay with the fox until it was gone. Then he kissed the male, getting his love hard with soft kisses and nuzzles on the white sheath.

"Rand - You don't..." got a finger on the older male's lips and a rabbit straddling his hips. The lad arched up as the head slid into his tight passage.

"Gotta Practice... I Still can't take All of ya."

But he Could take over half and he bounced on that cock until the fox screamed and came in him, hugged him tightly and panted in his ear... "Love."

Rand repeated the word, turning to Kiss his lover. "No More..." he growled, shoving another inch in his burning rear. "No more secrets... Promise Me, Love Mine."

Tama gasped, laughed... Somehow managed to squirt more hot cum into the bunny's guts. "Promise..."

Their fingers twined and they fell asleep, lying across each other.
