The sun was high in the sky over the woods. The weather was fair, with a river bubbling calmly nearby. It was a lovely area to camp out in. This was all lost on one lone fellow as he stopped on the river bank. He was panting heavily, dressed in light leather armor. He looked shook by something as he dropped to his knees. Hands shaking as he dipped them into the cool water, splashing himself in the face a few times. Cleansing his face and scalp of sweat before slicking back his messy blonde hair. His hands were still trembling as he sat there, staring blankly at them.

"Wh-why won't the shaking stop?" He mumbled aloud.

Was it the adrenaline? The fear still coursing through him? He couldn't be entirely sure. What he was certain of was he needed to keep moving, try to find shelter, a place to hide; something! But his body would barely cooperate after almost three days of running, sleeping only a couple hours at a time. Eating what little he could get his hands on while on the move. Fear was the only possible motivator for such drastic action. The blonde-haired Human was running himself ragged. Every time he closed his eyes, he could still clearly see everything that had sent him running.

He had been asleep when it happened, having finished his shift on watch for the modest camp of highwaymen he pledged allegiance to. The sun just below the horizon as dawn approached. He'd been jolted awake by the sounds of battle, an ambush! He was quick to grab his sword and burst out of his tent. But what he saw nearly froze his blood.

Several of the tents were burning brightly. One of his comrades even came screaming out of one with his body engulfed in flames. A small blue Kobold then ran by cackling like a maniac, waving some kind of stick or staff around setting more things on fire with magic. He could also see several of his comrades locked in combat with two Humans. One had darker skin, dressed in regular clothing aside from some armor around his legs and arms. He was wielding a short spear, fending off and retaliating against several others. The other Human was fairer skinned, and had messy blonde hair similar to his own. This fellow was armed with a sword and mace. He seemed a bit inexperienced, and sloppy with some of his movements. But he was still holding his own fairly well.

What really drew his attention however was the giant among the attackers. Something he'd never seen, nor ever heard of before. It looked like a giant rat! Standing on its hind legs and dressed in leather armor with a large crossbow of some kind on its back. It was surrounded by his comrades. Was. The big Rodent soon fixed that. As he grabbed his first attacker and effortlessly threw him into several of the others. It wasn't even bothering to use its weapon! Just tossing the highwaymen around like dolls. He just panicked, and used the chaos to slip away. Hiding in a tree just out of sight. It all happened so quickly that he couldn't really process it all before fleeing for cover. Maybe he could sneak back and free his friends when it was over? If any survived the encounter that is.

It was maybe an hour later when things had quieted down, it could have been a longer or shorter amount of time. He couldn’t be sure, but it felt like an eternity either way. Slowly and quietly, he slipped out of his hiding place. It was eerily quiet now, that wasn’t a good sign. The young bandit kept low as he slipped back towards the camp, peeking out from some bushes his eyes going wide at what he saw.

The camp was in utter ruins, the tents were all burned to cinders. Many of his comrades were dead on the ground, some burnt to a crisp. The tents were either torn to shreds or burnt to ashes as well. Two of his fellow bandits were still alive, bound tight and sitting on the ground. That was when he spotted a third. Or rather what was left of him! The lone bandit’s jaw dropped as he let out a silent gasp at what he was bearing witness to.

The big Rodent was eating his friend! All he could see was a pair of legs kicking and struggling between the Rodent’s lips. He couldn’t help but stare in shock and horror, watching as those legs vanished beyond those lips with a loud slurp and an audible gulp. He saw the Rodent’s gut bounce as his friend completely dropped into it, but it hadn’t gotten any bigger. His gut just bulged and shifted under his leather armor with the struggles. The rotund Rat licked his lips and let out a loud burp, the little Kobold of the group started giggling like mad and tried to hug at that bulging gut. The two Humans were off to the side having a conversation like this was all perfectly normal. The Rat ignored the Kobold for the moment and reached down to grab the next of the bound bandits. This was all he could stand to see. The lone bandit gulped nervously as he carefully snuck away. Once he felt he was far enough away he broke out into a run, what he’d witnessed seared into his mind.

Now it was three days later and he still couldn’t get it out of his mind. He stared down at the river, his hands still trembling as he struggled to process it all. He was sure he would be safe by now; he hadn’t seen any signs of pursuit in the three days he’d been running. He flopped over onto his back and let out a sigh, trying to relax and let his body recover from all the running. With his guard down what he had witnessed started to creep and sink into the forefront of his thoughts. He shuddered weakly with fear and horror…or was it something else?

The more he focused his thoughts to what he had the more said thoughts focused on one thing in particular. The Rodent… every time he tried to shift his mind to something else, it just came back to him. He’d never seen a creature like him before! Like most he’d heard rumors about them, but they were just rumors. Rat people weren’t real, Wererats? Sure, those existed but actual Rat people? Apparently, they were just as real and far bigger than he could have imagined. He remembered seeing how easily the Rat had tossed one of his comrades. Thinking back, he realized that the Rat had a crossbow on his back, and he wasn’t using it. Where Humans that easy to deal with that it wasn’t worth it?

The very thought made his spine tingle with fear. If that Rat was able to take down several armed bandits at once, what possible hope would he have had on his own? He’d be snapped like a twig against such a beast of a person. Then again that would be a blessing compared to what he had seen the Rat do to his fellows. He gulped nervously thinking about it. Not only was that giant Rat incredibly strong, but he apparently had the appetite to match! He’d only heard of monsters that were able to swallow a man whole! Evidently that wasn’t true either, the lone bandit was quickly learning that the world was a lot more terrifying that he could have ever imagined.

He could still clearly see those legs vanishing behind those Rodent lips, or the bounce of his fat round gut as he finished off his meal. He remembered focusing his attention on that rotund belly, seeing it bounce and bulge out with the struggles underneath the Rodent’s armor. His cheeks reddened a bit as he realized he was thinking a bit too much about that particular, shaking his head to clear his thoughts.

However, it didn’t work. The more he tried to avoid thinking about it the more prominent it became in his mind. His mind wondering to what that gut felt like from the outside as it worked over a live meal. Imagining the warmth of it, wondering if his fur was soft or coarse. Was his belly hard or soft with layers of fat? He had to have had a lot of muscle to be as strong as he was, right? His mind continued to dwell on the big Rodent’s belly, soon enough shifting to what it was like inside it. How hot would it be? Was it cramped? Likely not if one person couldn’t make that huge ball of a gut swell outside of any struggles within. He shuddered a bit as he realized what he was thinking about. Did he actually want to be eaten? Did he actually want to experience what his comrades had? Throw away his life just to add to that fat Rat’s pudge? His cheeks grew even more flushed, he screwed his eyes shut and rubbed his face a bit as he tried to think of something else.

He was safe now, that was the important thing. But he still needed to throw together a shelter for the night and try hunting for a proper meal. And take a much-needed bath in the river. Maybe he could find a town tomorrow and lay low in a civilized place just to be on the cautious side. For a time at least, then possibly join up with another bandit group.

He let out a sigh and tried to relax, there was still time for all those things before it got dark. He kept his eyes shut, just listening to the river. Letting the sounds soothe, him, his mind finally calming down from the rush of thoughts and feelings.

He didn’t know how much time had passed, but he suddenly felt like he was being watched. A shadow looming over him. He froze and lay still, growing nervous before opening his eyes. At first, he only saw a dark blur, but after blinking a few times his vision cleared and a sharp chill ran down his spine. He was looking up at an upside-down view of that bit Rodent! He was here! How?!

He was standing over him, leaning forward to peer over his round belly. Arms crossed over his broad chest.

“I found-found you.” The Rodent spoke with a deep almost gravelly voice.

The bandit just stared up in shock, looking into the Rodent’s deep crimson eyes. He also noticed a silver ring-like marking around his right eye. The giant Rat that was plaguing his mind the last few hours was now looming inches from him. He gulped as he tried to form words.

“H…How…?” Was all he could get out, his throat going dry all of a sudden.

“Smell/scent.” The Rodent tapped his pointed snout, “Tracking/hunting is one of my skills. It was easy/simple to track-track you down. I just waited/delayed till you were too tired.”

‘He was following my scent this whole time!? How did I not notice him till now? He’s so huge!’ The bandit thought to himself.

“I can be quiet/silent when I want-want to.” The Rodent said, answering the unspoken question.

“Wh-what happens now?” The bandit asked nervously.

“That’s your choice/decision.” The Rat said, “You could try/attempt to fight-fight me. Try to run/flee. Or accept/submit to your fate-fate.”

The bandit stared up at the Rodent, was he serious?

‘Is he actually giving me options? Or is this an elaborate ploy?’ The bandit thought to himself as he lay there.

The Rodent stood there staring down at him, waiting patiently.

“I…would I even have a chance to fight or run?” The bandit asked as he slowly got back up on his feet.

He gulped nervously, barely coming up to the top of the Rat’s belly. He was just that huge!

“No-no. Not really/likely. But I will be reasonable/fair and give you a few-few hours head start.” The Rodent shook his head.

‘Well at least he’s honest.’ The bandit thought dryly, “Will it…will it hurt?”

At this point it was better to just give up. He wouldn’t stand a chance in a straight up fight, and the Rat could easily just sniff him out if he ran.

“No-no, it doesn’t have to.” The Rodent shook his head, “I would be gentle/kind if you accept it willingly.”

“Really?”

“Really-really.”

“I…umm…” The bandit fumbled his words, he didn’t know what to say or do now.

That was when his thoughts from earlier began to resurface again, making his cheeks flush. It was actually going to happen! He started staring at the Rodent’s belly, taking in every detail. It seemed bigger than before. Was this the results of eating his fellows’ days prior? Was there even anything left of them in there? His cheeks grew even warmer at that thought.

“Ahem…” The Rat cleared his throat.

“I…Uhhh…yes?” The bandit looked away realizing he was blatantly staring at the Rat’s gut.

“See-see something you like?” The Rat asked, a smirk forming on his pointed snout.

The bandit stayed quiet with his cheeks still flushed, he avoided eye contact. Reluctant to admit to anything.

“Hmmm?” The Rat rumbled, still waiting for a response.

“Y-yes?” The bandit glanced up at the Rat briefly.

“What caught/grabbed your attention?” The Rat asked.

“It…it was this.” The bandit pointed to the Rodent’s round belly.

“Oh? Jealous/envious of your friends?” The Rat grinned toothily, giving his large belly a few pats, “They were delicious/tasty.”

The Bandit blushed more, seeing that gut wobble slightly under the Rat’s armor. He could have sworn he heard it slosh a bit as well.

“You want/desire to join-join them?” The Rodent asked, giving his belly a slow rub, “Add-add more to this?”

“Y-yes…” The bandit covered his face in his hands, trying to not look at what the big Rodent was doing.

“Good-good. Shall we get started/begin?” The Rat asked.

“Wh-what do I do?” The bandit asked still quite flushed as he realized what he was agreeing to.

“Simple/easy, strip.” The Rat said casually.

“What?” The bandit’s jaw dropped.

“Strip/undress it would be more pleasant that way-way.” The Rat said, “Wet/damp clothes would not be as fun-fun.”

He did have a point, wet clothing and armor was not fun to wear. But to just bluntly be asked to undress? The gall! The bandit blushed and crossed his arms looking away indignantly. He wasn’t going to be humiliated in such a manner! The Rodent stood there with a rumbling chuckle of amusement. This little Human was proving to be quite entertaining to watch.

“I can/could undress you, if you want-want.” The Rat offered with a grin, “Would that be more fun/amusing?”

“I…!” The Human turned to say something but stopped short.

“Hmmm?”

“I can do it myself!” The bandit shouted, “…W-would you…”

The Human started mumbling something forcing the Rodent to lean down to hear it more properly.

“What-what was that?” He asked the Human.

“I…umm…I… Would you undress too?” The bandit blushed even more heavily as he quickly repeated himself.

The Rodent stood up straight grinning ear to ear now, “You want me to undress/disrobe as well-well? I can comply/accept that request. But you-you first.”

He set himself up for that one. The bandit remained flushed, not expecting the big Rat to just accept the request so easily! He even seemed eager for it! The Human stood there unsure of how to proceed. There was no backing out of it now, he was stuck in a metaphorical corner now.

“Hmmm?” The Rat let out a soft rumble as he waited expectantly, “What’s your name-name?”

“Huh? Why does that matter?” The Human asked confused and a bit thrown off by the question.

“I’d like/desire to know it. It’s rare-rare to have a willing/voluntary meal, I like to remember their names-names.” The Rat explained.

He wanted to remember him? That was…unexpected, he wanted to press for more information on why but thought better of it. Probably better to not question it.

“It’s Roje Redjac.” The Human finally said after a few seconds.

“Roje, hmmmm.” The Rat rumbled as if tasting the name itself, “I’m Crom Caskleaf.”

“Crom?” Roje raised a brow, it didn’t sound like something a Rat would be named.

Then again, he didn’t think giant rat people existed a few days ago, who was he to judge how they named themselves?

“Yes-yes.” The Rat nodded in confirmation, “Shall we proceed/continue now?”

“Uhhh…right.” Roje tensed up for a second.

He’d already put it off long enough, it wouldn’t be wise to further test the Rodent’s patience. He took a deep breath and let out a sigh finally getting undressed. Roje’s face was beet red as he slowly unbuckled the clamps and straps to his leather armor. Dropping the somewhat heavy armor to the ground. He moved on to his gauntlets, working them off one at a time. Crom stood there watching him closely. Those large red eyes looking over every inch of the Human as he now worked his leg armor loose. Roje felt uncomfortable, and shivered as he saw the look on the giant Rodent’s eyes. He got the feeling the hungry Rat was eyeing him up like a slab of meat; the way an Owlbear would at a lone Deer. In sense it was true, given what was going to follow before long. Roje gulped as he removed all of his armor now, just left in a simple worn shirt, pants and boots. He could see the Rodent waiting still, so after hesitating a few seconds and worked his shirt off. The life of banditry had left him decently muscled and lean, he caught Crom nodding a little in approval.

Roje’s flushed face felt even warmer now as he got started on his boots. His nervous and flustered state made getting the laces undone difficult, but after a couple of minutes fumbling around he got them loose and off. He glanced up, seeing Crom continue to stare at him intently. Roje winced a bit under that stare, feeling so vulnerable now. He gulped, quickly realizing he only had his pants left to remove. It was now or never, Roje undid his belt and worked his pants loose before slipping them off.

“Underwear is staying on.” Roje stated firmly, though the heavy blush on his face made it harder to take him seriously.

“Fair-fair.” Crom smirked as he eyed up Roje once more.

The big Rodent licking his lips slowly as he again admired Roje’s lean muscled form. Crom certainly liked what he saw, and making the Human squirm a bit was a nice bonus.

“Now it’s…your turn.” Roje looked away as he said it.

Crom continued to smile and nodded slowly, “Yes-yes, I did agree/accept your request after all.”

The big Rodent slipped his satchel bag from his shoulder as well as his crossbow, gently setting them down against a nearby tree. Roje eyed up the weapon curiously, it was quite huge! Matching its owner perfectly, the body of the weapon alone was as big as the Human’s leg! Some sort of clockwork mechanism built into the side. Roje wondered what that was for; but was quickly distracted by Crom.

The towering Rat-Folk winked at Roje as he started to open up the clasps to his leather armor, exposing a white wool shirt underneath. Crom slipped the armor off and set it next to his bag, then removed his hooded cowl and set it aside as well. The Rodent continued as he removed his leather shin guards and then his boots. Roje’s breath caught in his throat for a moment as he saw the big Rodent start to work off his shirt now. The Human watched as Crom worked the shirt up and over his head, his thick muscular chest and arms now fully exposed. And more importantly his big, round, soft gut; it stood out prominently now and Roje felt his throat go dry. He wanted to just run his hands over that Rodent gut, bury his face into it even!

Crom smirked as he watched the Human try to hide his ogling, this was becoming quite amusing for him as he watched Roje’s reactions. He watched as Roje somehow managed to turn redder as he reached down to undo his belt. Crom kept his crimson eyes on Roje, watching for the Human’s reactions as he fully undid his belt and pants. He chuckled deeply as he saw Roje look away when he finally dropped his pants and stepped out of them.

Roje didn’t realize he was holding his breath, not until he looked away from the Rodent as he dropped his pants. The Human gasped softly as he finally let out the breath he was holding onto. He slowly turned back to look at Crom, his gasp caught in his throat at what he saw. Crom had also taken the liberty of removing his undergarments! His back was to Roje as he was folding up the last of his clothing, bent forwards as he set it aside neatly with the rest of his gear. The Human’s jaw dropped as his gaze fell on the Rodent’s bare rump. He couldn’t take his eyes off that large round rear; seeing Crom’s bare tail draped between his well-padded cheeks. The Human couldn’t help but wonder what those globes felt like. Roje gulped as his throat felt quite dry, all the teasing, all the wondering, all the thoughts running through his head… Something seemed to snap and the Human acted on an impulse as he walked towards Crom.

The Rodent was still busy getting his things in order, confident that his soon to be meal wasn’t going to try and run off. Seeing how Roje was acting around him, he couldn’t help but continue to tease the small Human awhile longer. Crom was thrown for a loop when he felt a hand grasp his tail near the base and pull it aside. Something then suddenly pressed between his rump cheeks, earning a startled squeak from the big Rodent. He glanced behind him momentarily and noticed Roje behind him on his knees. Crom’s cheeks and ears flushed slightly as he chittered a little as the Human buried his face into the Rodent’s rump.

“Just couldn’t wait-wait hmmm?” Crom rumbled out with a smirk.

“Mmmmfff…” Was the only response he received.

“I figured/assumed as much.” Crom grinned as he used his very dexterous tail to push Roje’s face deeper between his soft cheeks.

“MMMFFF!” Came Roje’s muffled reply as he was pushed further between Crom’s cheeks.

Roje’s mind nearly blanked out as he was being pressed in by the Rodent’s surprisingly strong tail. He kept his eyes closed; he wouldn’t be able to see anything in the dark cleft of Crom’s rump anyway. He reached up with his hands and grabbed handfuls of Crom’s rump, squeezing and kneading his hands into the soft flesh. His fingers sunk into those warm pliant cheeks a good inch or more before feeling muscle. He shuddered some as he continued his kneading motions, spreading those big globes apart to press in deeper.

Crom rumbled and chittered a bit as he let Roje do as he pleased. This Human was quite the treat already. He wiggled his rump a bit as he felt the Human grab at his rear and started kneading and spreading them. The Rodent smiled to himself, using his tail to press a bit more firmly on Roje’s head. He wanted to get nice and deep after all, might as well help him!

Roje could barely think as he was pressed deeper into the cleft of Crom’s rump, he shuddered a bit hearing and feeling the big Rodent rumble and chitter. The feeling of those big soft cheeks almost enveloping his head was almost indescribable. It was like burying his head in ultra-soft pillows, or at least how he imagined that would feel. Regardless it likely wouldn’t compare! The human let out a muffled groan as he just immersed himself in Crom’s rear. Then he felt a tugging sensation around his shoulders.

“Gaahh…” Roje let out a loud gasp as he was pulled free of the Rodent’s rump.

Crom smirked as he stood up after pulling Roje from his rear, “Had fun-fun?”

“...I umm…yes?” Roje stuttered as he was snapped back to reality.

“Good-good.” Crom smiled wide and turned around as he pulled Roje to his feet with his tail.

‘Just how strong is his tail!?’ Roje thought as he was effortlessly lifted up to his feet.

Crom released Roje and looked down at him, smiling as he crossed his arms and waited. Roje blushed and stared back, unsure of what he was supposed to do now.

“Well-well?” Crom raised a brow, “Start rubbing/kneading.”

Roje’s breath hitched in his throat as Crom stated his command. The Human looked down at the Rodent’s belly, perfectly eye level with him. He had wanted to see what it felt like after all. So, after a few seconds of hesitation he reached up and placed his hands on the Rodent’s middle.

He was just. So. Soft! Roje leaned in and hugged the huge belly, burying his face into the super soft and warm flesh. He sank in a little even as he rubbed his face into it, rubbing and kneading as deep into Crom’s gut as he could. It felt so warm too! Roje blushed some as he felt that the Rodent’s gut was a close contender to how his rump felt. The Human nuzzled and squeezed at Crom’s belly, pulling and grabbing at the layers of fat and soft muscle underneath the silky fur.

Crom for his part remained still as he let Roje indulge himself, letting out a soft rumble as he watched the Human try to smother himself in his gut.

“Mmmmmrrrr…” Crom rumbled and placed his paws on Roje’s back pressing him in a bit more.

“Mmmffff.” Roje let out a muffled noise as Crom smushed him a bit more into the Rodent’s gut.

Roje was just drinking in the warmth and softness as he was pressed in a bit more firmly. That’s when he heard it. Crom’s gut let out a loud GURRRRBLE, the sound was so loud so close to the source. It made Roje shudder, the Rodent’s stomach was empty, and it seemed to be eagerly anticipating the Human’s inevitable arrival. GURRRRGLE… very eager to be filled by the Human. Roje blushed as he continued to listen to Crom’s belly, his breathing, and especially his gut.

Crom rumbled and smiled as he watched Roje as he held him to his round belly. Taking in every reaction and movement. This little human was very amusing, and Crom was making sure to take his sweet time. Roje was giving his belly such a wonderful massage after all. Why stop that now? The big Rodent was going to enjoy it as long as he could.

Roje nuzzled into Crom’s soft belly fur more, still taking in his warmth and softness as much as he could. He felt like he could just fall asleep against the Rodent. Roje continued to bury his face into Crom’s middle, digging and rubbing his hands deep into the sides of said middle. Just listening to Crom’s pleased rumbles and chittering sounds. The Rodent for his part continued to drink in the attentions, enjoying the rubbing and kneading of his belly all around. Watching as Roje turned his head and listened to his belly some more.

GUUUUURRGLE…

Roje shuddered at the noise, listening intently as Crom’s stomach continued to make noises. The Human could only speculate as to why those noises were being made. Was it due to Crom being hungry? Or maybe it was still processing that little might be left of his comrades? That particular though sent chills down his spine, knowing that his friends had taken a trip down the Rat’s throat, that they were reduced to a nutrient soup of sorts to sustain Crom.

GLORRRRRP…

Just what noises would that gut make when he was deposited into it. What would it sound like from the inside? Those thoughts were running rampant through the Human’s mind now as he continued to listen and knead into the soft fat of Crom’s gut. Crom smiled and thought of something mischievous to do to his willing little meal. Acting on this idea the Rodent tilted Roje’s head up so he could look at him.

“Wh-what?” Roje asked confused.

“A little/small preview.” Crom said before opening his mouth nice and wide.

Roje froze, staring deep into Crom’s open maw. Gazing into that dark pink abyss, watching drool stretch down from the roof of the Rodent’s mouth and down onto his large pink tongue. Showing off his slightly yellowed teeth as he let Roje stare into his maw, seeing how deep his throat was. The Human stared, very flushed as he took in every detail of his eventual entry point to his final destination.

“ BUUURRRRRRRRAAAAAP! ” Suddenly Crom let out a mighty belch…right into Roje’s face.

Roje almost fainted as he was blasted by Crom’s burp, hit by the rank smell of past meals. Meals that he once called friends most likely too! The Human was in a daze after such a display, staring into Crom’s maw and throat. The Rodent could have easily eaten him whole right then and there and he wouldn’t have reacted much. Instead, all Crom did was close his mouth and smile mischievously. Roje was about to comment, but was interrupted by the Rat leaning down and giving his face a long slow slurp.

SLUUUURRP!

“Mmmm…You taste-taste amazing/great.” Crom said smugly grinning at his continued teasing.

Roje just blinked and stared, his whole train of thought being derailed as he felt that broad pink tongue dragged across his face. He felt the heat and mildly bumpy texture of his tongue, and more of his hot breath. His face now covered in a thin layer of Rodent drool.

“Is there more you want/wish to do?” Crom asked still smiling smugly, “Before its time-time?”

“I... ummm…” Roje tensed up as he was being given a huge decision.

“Take your time-time.” Crom said, “Think-think carefully.”

Roje buried his face into Crom’s belly again, trying to think of what he would ask the Rodent. Too many possibilities, not enough time to do it all. Ultimately the Human had to make up his mind, so he chose the thing he wanted most.

“Mmmph….” Roje mumbled into Crom’s belly.

“Hmm? Speak/talk up.” Crom rubbed along the back of Roje’s head.

Roje pulled his head away from Crom’s plush belly and looked up at him, “I…I want you to umm… to sit…on…me?”

The Human blushed deeply and again buried his face into the Rodent’s belly. Crom smiled and grinned a bit as he heard the stammered-out request. It seemed like Roje wasn’t quite done with his posterior, Crom was more than happy to oblige.

“Okay/alright.” Crom said.

“Huh?” Roje looked up quickly.

“I’ll sit/rest on you.” Crom said, “Go get cozy/comfortable.”

The Human was a bit stunned that Crom accepted the request so readily, his face bright red now. Roje let go of Crom’s belly, although reluctantly and found a flat even spot on the ground where he lay down and waited.

Crom rumbled in amusement as he watched Roje lay down eagerly, then he got an idea and walked over to his bag. Roje looked up a bit confused at what the Rodent was doing. Crom dug through his bag and pulled out a bedroll.

“For more/additional comfort.” Crom said as he brought it over to Roje and started to unroll it.

“Oh, that’s…uh… a good idea.” Roje sat up.

“Yes-yes.” Crom nodded as he stepped back, “Lay/relax on here.”

Roje obliged and shifted over, laying down on the bedroll. It was huge for him, but it made sense; it was made with a giant Rat-Folk in mind. He adjusted himself, getting nice and comfortable.

“Ready/prepared?” Crom asked.

“As best as can be I guess?” Roje responded.

“Good-good, take a deep breath/inhale.” Crom said as he slowly stood over Roje.

The Human gulped nervously as he stared up at Crom’s thick heavy rear end. Blushing deeply as he braced himself for what was about to happen. And then his field of vision was fully blotted out as that rump dropped down on him gently. In an instant Roje was smothered by Crom’s rump, surrounded entirely by those thick globes.

“Mmmffff…!” Roje squirmed a bit underneath Crom.

“You do make for a cozy/comfy seat.” Crom rumbled as he shifted a little bit, working Roje’s face deeper between his rump cheeks.

The Human couldn’t really hear or understand what Crom was saying. He was just enveloped in silence and darkness, sight and sound denied him. Roje moaned a bit as he felt Crom shift and draw him in a bit deeper, his head lost to the big Rodent’s rear. Crom just enjoyed the squirms and heavily muffled sounds the Human made under him. Grinning as he felt Roje grab at his rump, kneading and squeezing at the soft fat and muscle underneath his fur. The big Rodent was certainly having a grand time as Roje essentially worshiped his thick rear. Savoring the kneading and groping, all the attention felt wonderful.

Roje was complete lost to the world at this point, all his senses were focused on the rump smothering him. He was having a bit of a hard time breathing with Crom’s weight on top of him, but he was LOVING. EVERY. SECOND. OF. IT! The feel of Crom’s soft fur surrounding his head, the warmth of his flesh, and the smell. Roje was again caught off guard, Crom was clean as could be. His stereotypical assumptions about rats completely shattered. Crom was very much clean, or as clean as could be while tracking someone down for three straight days. Roje could clearly smell the salty tinge of Crom’s sweat between his cheeks, but under that was the Rodent’s musk. A strong but not overpowering scent of male, hot, humid, and thick. Roje blushed heavily as he realized he was essentially breathing in Crom’s scent. Marking himself with the Rat’s musk, feeling it soak into his skin and flood his lungs with each breath.

“You’re having a great/grand time under there-there huh?” Crom remarked in a teasing manner as he wiggled his rump a bit, grinding down onto Roje’s face some.

“Mmmph…!” Roje groaned as Crom ground his rump over his face.

“I’ll accept/take that as a yes-yes.” Crom grinned as he clenched his rump, further trapping Roje’s head under him for a few seconds before relaxing and doing it again.

Roje grunted and gripped at Crom’s rump cheeks when he clenched down. The Human squirmed underneath the Rodent as he squeezed around his head. Letting out a loud gasp when Crom suddenly relaxed and lifted up off Roje for a few seconds.

“Had-had enough?” Crom asked in a teasing tone.

Roje didn’t say anything for a few seconds, trying to inhale some fresh air (not that he minded being smothered in Crom’s scent).

“I’ll take/accept that as a no-no then.” Crom grinned toothily as he sat right back down on Roje’s face.

“Mmmmfff!” Roje grunted as Crom sat right back down on him before he could think clearly enough to form a response.

The big Rodent rumbled and clenched around Roje’s head some as he continued to grind and pin the Human down with his rear.

“Clearly/certainly you’re enjoying this.” Crom said aloud.

The Rat-Folk simply sat on the Human, still grinding against him and occasionally clenching down. Keeping Roje nice and smothered under him. Roje meanwhile just moaned into that soft rump that he was trapped under. Kneading deeply into the thick soft flesh of Crom’s backside, breathing his musk, and generally being lost to everything else.

Sometime later Crom finally lifted his rear off of Roje, “I think/believe that is enough, yes-yes? Time to move/go on.”

Roje moaned and gasped as he inhaled fresh air again, still flushed as he started up at Crom’s rear.

“R-right…h-how long was I…?” Roje trailed off as the Rodent stood up and moved to the side.

“A few/couple hours. Enjoyed yourself?” Crom asked with a smug grin.

Roje sat up, he could still smell the Rodent’s scent, he probably smelled like him too.

“That long…? Wow, a-and yeah. Yeah, I did, I didn’t want it to end.” Roje confessed.

“I bet/imagine.” Crom said with a nod, “Are you ready/prepared now-now?”

Roje gulped and stood up, looking up at the Rodent’s crimson eyes.

“A-as ready as I can expect to be I guess?” The Human said.

The Rodent nodded in understanding, “How would you prefer/like to do this? Or just default/defer to my judgement?”

“I ummm…I don’t really know. This is not something I’ve ever done before.” Roje said, ‘And the only time I will.’

“Hmmmm… Feet/Paws first-first then.” Crom said with a smirk, “I will be gentle/careful.”

“So how do we do this?” Roje asked.

“One moment/second.” Crom said as he sat down and leaned against a nearby tree.

Even sitting down the giant Rat-folk still seemed to tower over Roje.

“Come-come.” Crom said, “This way we’re both comfortable/cozy.”

“Right...” Roje nodded slowly and approached the Rodent.

The big Rodent smiled and licked his lips slowly as he eyed up the Human, it was now time to eat! He watched as Roje blushed and shuddered a bit once he was close. Crom grinned wide now, showing off his teeth.

Roje hesitated a bit, getting scared now that it was really happening. The reality of what was about to happen sinking in fully and now his fight or flight instincts were kicking in. But he knew quite well that either option wouldn’t succeed. Especially with him now practically nude. This was it. He was food. Slowly the Human approached the seated Rat, getting within reach. He shivered a bit, a mix of emotions. Fear, shame, embarrassment, and especially anticipation.

Crom himself was quite eager to get started, he was quite hungry now. But knew to be patient, he wanted this to be pleasant for his willing meal after all. So, he used his tail to gently grab Roje by his waist, hoisting him up with the thick strong limb. The Rodent raised him up high and winked up at Roje.

The Human gulped as he felt that fur less limb wrap around his waist and lifted him up with ease. His body tensed up as his feet left the ground, he watched the Rodent carefully. Wondering what exactly he was planning. Roje giggled and squirmed as Crom grasped his bare feet and was rubbing along the soles, it was ticklish and the Human was confused by what he was doing.

“That…that tickles!” Roje giggled as he squirmed.

“I’m cleaning/clearing your feet of dirt-dirt.” Crom said as he continued the rubbing for a bit longer.

‘Oh, that makes sense.’ Roje thought for a brief moment before giggling more.

Crom smirked as he cleaned the Human’s feet in short order, it wasn’t really necessary but it was a good way to get Roje to relax before he was consumed. The Rodent stopped after a few moments and opened his jaws wide. Crom wanted a real taste of his coming meal, he reached out with his large tongue and ran it along the soles of Roje’s feet.

Roje tensed up for a moment and looked down wide eyed. He saw down the Crom’s wide open maw, seeing the pink flesh and yawning pit of his throat. The heat of the Rodent’s breath against his feet, and the wetness of his broad tongue. It was happening, actually happening now! Roje couldn’t look away. Just watching as he was held over a Rodent’s maw, his feet being tasted.

“Mmmmm…” Crom rumbled as he sampled the Human’s flavor.

A pleasantly salty and meaty flavor, like perfectly cooked venison. The Rodent drooled down his chin some as he thought about it. A nice venison dinner sounded like a perfect addition to his Human lunch. Perhaps later he could hunt down a deer to prepare. Crom put the idea aside for now. He had lunch to focus on after all.

Roje watched as Crom stopped tasting his feet. The Rodent closing his jaws around the Human’s feet, sucking on them for a moment before lowering Roje down. The Human gulped as he watched himself be consumed.

GULP!

Roje’s breath hitched for a moment as he felt the Rodent’s throat open up around his feet and then clench down around his ankles, pulling him down. It was hot and snug inside Crom’s maw and throat. His throat conforming to the Human’s shape. Roje squirmed in Crom’s grasp, wiggling his toes, feeling the Rodent’s drool squish between them. He could see the Rodent smiling around his legs.

GLURK!

The Human let out a small startled noise as he sank deeper into Crom. Watching as his knees vanished into the Rodent’s throat. It was getting hot now too. Roje was starting to sweat again as he felt the internal heat soaking into his legs and up through the rest of his body. He felt more than heard Crom rumble as he started tasting over his legs, again sampling his flavor. Roje continued to squirm, feeling that hot tongue against his bare skin.

“This…This isn’t h-how I was expec-” Roje started to say.

GUUUUULP!

“O-oh gods…!” Roje gasped as he sank waist deep.

“Mmmmmrrrrr…” Crom rumbled around his Human meal.

Roje’s breathing picked up a bit as he was pulled deeper still. He could feet his feet start to squeeze through a tight ring of muscle and into an open space. He was starting to enter the Rodent’s stomach! Roje squirmed in Crom’s gullet, watching himself disappear more and more.

GLUUURK!

Crom swallowed again, making Roje gasp again. The Human watched as he dropped past his navel beyond the Rodent’s lips. Wiggling his feet around inside the open pit of Crom’s gut. Roje continued to sweat as well. His body getting hotter the deeper he sank into Crom. But it wasn’t uncomfortably so. It was a pleasant heat, soothing the Human’s sore and tired body. He was only now beginning to really register how ragged he had run himself in his escape. But now? Now his body was relaxing in the hot slick embrace of the Rodent’s innards. Roje shuddered as he realized how good this was, and just how much he was actually enjoying it. With a bit of hesitation, he reached down and stroked along the top of Crom’s snout, earning a pleased rumble from the Rodent.

GUUUULP!

Crom winked up at Roje as he swallowed again, the Human sinking in to his lower chest now. Roje wrapped his arms around the Rodent’s snout in a startled move. He could feel more of his legs slip into Crom’s gut, his feet just now touching what he believed was the bottom of it. It felt soft and squishy against his feet, he wiggled is legs a bit feeling the muted stomach fluids squish around and between his toes. The Human gasped as he felt Crom’s gullet seize for a moment, squeezing tightly around most of his body. It was sudden and knocked the wind from his lungs. Roje looked down at Crom’s face, worried that he may be choking on his Human meal. The Rodent gave no indication he was having issues, Roje blushed deeply as he realized Crom was teasing him. The Rodent was giving him a gullet massage.

“H-ha…” Roje gasped as he was for lack of a better term tenderized by Crom’s throat.

GLRCK!

Crom swallowed again after a few minutes of drawn-out teasing, Roje sank shoulder deep into the Rodent’s jaws. He had to raise his arms a bit now with how deep in he was. Feeling Crom’s hot breath on his face. Roje blushed as he was again hit by rank Rodent breath. He squirmed and shifted about some in Crom’s gullet.

“Th-thank…y-you f-for being so…so gentle.” Roje stuttered out, it was a little hard to breathe with his chest surrounded by a snug throat.

“Mmmmrrrrrfff…” Crom rumbled in understanding.

Roje squirmed a bit, feeling the Rodent’s rumble through his whole body. There wasn’t much left of him exposed now, so Roje took this last opportunity to look around.

The forest was serene, quiet, it was actually very soothing to look at in the afternoon sun. Roje never paid it much mind until now. And now it would be the last of the outside world he’d ever see. At least it was a great view. The Human smiled a bit, at least he’d go out with a nice view and gently to boot. Much better than dying in a fight and in pain and fear. Then Roje felt Crom’s tongue drag along the back of his head before it pressed down on the top of his head. This was it.

GLUUUURCK!

Crom swallowed again, Roje yelped a little as his head was pulled down. His arms were forced up above his head as he sank in deeper. Feeling the Rodent’s powerful throat press into his face, coating him in Rat drool.

“Mmmmfff!” Roje squirmed as gravity and peristalsis continued to pull him down.

The Human’s arms vanished past Crom’s lips as Roje sank down, down, down in one smooth motion. His belly and chest finally entering the Rodent’s gut, and all that was left outside was his fingers. Which Crom was happily slurping over teasingly for a few moments, then…

SLURRRRRRULP!

Crom slurped up Roje’s fingers with a final gulp. The Rodent traced the final bulge of his prey down his throat. Smiling wide as he felt Roje fully sink into his gut. Right where he belonged. The Rodent rumbled as he rubbed his paws over his bare belly, fingers roaming over the soft round ball of gut he had. Even with an entire human inside, his stomach gave no indication that he ate him. Such was the difference in their sizes and build.

Crom licked his lips slowly, savoring the last flavors of his willing meal. He rumbled as he felt Roje start to shift and move around in his belly. Seeing bumps and bulges shift and move under his hide, hands, elbows, knees and feet, sometimes parts of Roje’s head or face. The Rodent let him move around, getting comfortable inside while his paws continued to roam and rub.

“See-see? That wasn’t so bad/horrible now, was it?” Crom said aloud with a playful rumble.

“N-no… smelly though. But…given the situation that can’t be helped right?” Roje’s muffled voice came through his hide.

Crom chuckled with amusement, watching his belly ripple a little with his laughter, “No-no it can’t. If I could-could, I would have.”

“I figured…but this…this isn’t so bad. Dark, hot, wet, and humid. But smell aside comfortable…” Roje spoke out, “A-and it won’t hurt right?”

“No-no, it won’t. I made/gave you, my word.” Crom said in a soothing manner, “Just relax/rest and let it happen.”

Crom rumbled and teased his meal by pressing in on his gut a bit, earning a startled yelp from the human. Roje shifted and pushed back some in response. The Human sat in Crom’s spacious gut. It was pitch dark; all he could rely on was his sense of touch really. And hearing, aside from hearing and feeling Crom’s deep voice from within him Roje could also hear his heart beating away. It was loud and powerful sounding, pumping life into the huge Rodent. He should be terrified, panicked and trying to escape. He was inside a living creature after all, it’s only natural, wasn’t it?

Yet for some reason, he felt safe? Was that the right word for it? He was calm, relaxed, and strangely soothed by the heat and softness of Crom’s stomach. Hearing the gurgles and squelches of his gut and beyond, soon to be nothing but fuel for the Rodent. Just like his former fellow bandits had been days prior.

GUUUUURRRGLE!

The gastric sounds around him were starting to get louder, Crom’s stomach was eager to get started on its latest meal it seemed! It was impossible to tell if it had only been minutes, or even hours since he was fully swallowed. It made Roje wonder how long before he succumbed to Crom’s gut. Such thoughts were quickly derailed when:

“ BUUUUUUUUUUUUUUURRRRRAP! ” Crom let out a long loud belch, “Excuse/pardon me.”

The Rodent chuckled a bit more as he continued to rub over his belly. Smiling smugly to himself over another satisfying meal.

“Y-you’re excused.” Roje said softly as he squirmed.

He felt more than heard that loud belch, blushing in the dark knowing he was the reason for it. It was getting hotter inside the Rodent’s gut now, there was less air inside with him he quickly realized. It was already starting to get harder to breathe, his head going a bit fuzzy now too.

‘So, this is it then? It’s just like he said, it doesn’t hurt.’ Roje thought to himself as he rested deep in a Rodent’s gut.

Consciousness slowly slipped away from the Human, listening to Crom’s heart and other internal sounds until it all faded entirely.

Crom sighed and smiled to himself, another filling (and willing) meal down. He kept his paws on his round gut, rubbing and kneading over it gently as he felt Roje shift and squirm inside.

GUUURRRGLE!

GLLORP!

Crom chuckled as he heard his belly really get to work after an hour or so. He knew by now that Roje had fully given in, no more shifts from inside, no noises aside from his stomach getting to work.

“Just as promised/told, now-now you’re part of me. At least the physical/real part is.” Crom said to his churning gut in a comforting tone.

The big Rat didn’t care much about the unwilling meals he gets his paws on, they always had it coming in one form or another. But the willing ones? Those were special. They were worth remembering and being treated well before the end. Crom rumbled as he slowly stood up, his gut sloshing some with the movement; he stretched out as he mentally filed away Roje Redjac’s full name, adding it to the slowly growing list of willing meals. He remembered every one of them, how they tasted, what they each wanted before the end. Some were just like Roje had been, some a bit more predictable, and still others that were very…unique with their last requests. Those were times where Crom learned some interesting things about himself to put it lightly.

Meal done the Rodent eyed the river. Now was a perfect time to just relax and clean himself up, he did pride himself on keeping clean after all. That was when his ears perked up, and he turned to face the source.

“There you are Crom, we’ve been looki- Gods why are you naked!” It was his friend and fellow Adventurer Luther.

“I was going/planning to bathe in the river. Want to join/come along with me?” Crom smirked as he ruffled the human’s blonde hair before walking past.

Luther was so shy about nudity for some reason, it amused the big Rodent greatly; he had no such issues himself. It was completely normal for him. Luther just looked away his cheeks bright red.

“There you are. You really went after this one huh?” The darker skinned human the Rodent traveled with said as he approached as well.

The fourth member of their little group was clinging to his back, grinning toothily.

“Didya get em? Didya, didya!? Vibbi must knoooow!” The blue Kobold said in a rabid fire manner.

“Yes, I was going to ask if you had dealt with the last straggler yet.”

“Yes-yes, he has been taken care/dealt with Lok.” Crom said with a nod and a rub of his belly.

“Good. Then job is done, we can head back to town tomorrow.” Lok said with a nod.

“ YAY! ” Vibbi squealed as they dropped to the ground and ran up to Crom, making grabby hands to be picked up, “Vibbi wants to feel!”

“Maybe later/after I get cleaned.” Crom chuckled with amusement.

“ Awwwwwww! But I waited sooooooo long! And Vibbi missed the best part!” Vibbi pouted and huffed.

“Then join/come with me to the river.” Crom said with a chuckle.

“Probably a good idea, it’s been a few days since we were able to actually clean up.” Lok agreed.

“Out here? What if someone sees us?” Luther protested.

“Luther, you need to stop being so shy about things like this.” Lok said with a sigh, “Not like you’ve not seen us in the nude before, or us you.”

“But…alright.” Luther sighed and hung his head.

“ YAY! RIVER PARTY! ” Vibbi squealed as they quickly tossed off what little they wore and ran ahead into the river with a splash.

“At least someone is enthusiastic.” Luther said.

Crom chuckled as he joined the Kobold in the cool river water. Lok wasn’t far behind, and eventually Luther joined in reluctantly. They had all worked hard, and this was a well-earned rest and reprieve from traveling the last few days. And as they cleaned up, Crom still thought fondly of Roje. And how he enjoyed his last moments in the company of a giant Rat.

Crom was many things, giant, hungry, hunter, warrior, but most importantly when it really counted? He was honest and gentle, something he was sure Roje would remember in his next life. Whatever that might be.
