A very short piece that is originally part of a much larger idea. It’s under my minimum requirement for posting a story (just shy of 4,000 words) but I focused on the romantic side and wanted to share it.

This was inspired by Marsonaut's "Tribal Husky Mom." Here https://www.furaffinity.net/view/49867902/

The artwork instantly created this idea! The entire idea involved a human seeking out a small community of runaway slaves to learn about them and record their experiences. However, I have a commission to write and the entire idea would take a lot of time. So this very short story piece focuses on a romantic part near the end between the human and a husky mom. I hope y’all enjoy it!

I couldn’t think of a title!

Edit: thank you for corrections!


Leonid awoke and opened his eyes with no sheets covering him. It was humid, as always, but the midday heat hadn't arrived yet. Coming from the cooler climate of Novo Mozhaisk, waking up to hot weather was something Leonid never thought he would become accustomed to. The human could not imagine how someone covered completely in fur fared in such an environment. Taking a deep breath, his nose detected the natural canine and subtle musky odor that clung to the air; but he had grown accustomed to that as well.

Glancing over, he could see Arese was still asleep in her corner. The older cream furred husky wasn't a mother like her sister Martha, but she was very loving and protective of her sister and niece. Leonid held back a smile at her comical sprawled out sleeping position. The canine woman's mouth was ajar as she softly snored. Her arms were stretched out, and her legs tangled below. Even one breast was glopped over the other. The human knew all too well how much she tossed while asleep. Arese had rolled onto him before when they shared a bed.

'I guess Martha is already awake.' He sleepily concluded and sat up to stretch. 'Where am I supposed to meet her?' He wondered before quietly donning the loincloth the community provided him. Males weren't required to wear the garment, but Leonid felt most comfortable wearing something when nearly everyone else was unabashedly naked. Although, the skimpy garment was barely a step above outright nudity in his view.

Reaching over, he quietly checked his belongings to not wake up Arese. The pack he had traveled with had fared well despite the many slips and falls he had taken. Retrieving a notebook, he skimmed through the many pages of notes and sketches he had made during his four and a half week stay at the tiny village.

The human's fascination was clear with the written passages and sketched portraits of individuals. The community wasn't “organic" like a regular village. The entire reason for his arduous trek into the rainforest was because all of the villagers were runaway slaves from estates, plantations, and farms. Their lifestyles were different given their unfortunate backgrounds.

There were only six adult males and fifteen adult females in the entire village. Since the community was small, and females made up most of the population, the few males had more than one mate. This practice largely continued from when they were slaves, but also because the large imbalance wouldn't change anytime soon.

Spending time with the community of runaway slaves in their little hidden jungle community had been an incredible experience. Recording their experiences from when they were slaves to their escapes and new lives in freedom had fascinated him to no end. They also gave him a wider appreciation of life itself after enduring so many hardships, including an escape across the arid plain. Leonid was truly thankful to have made the trek so far out.

The journey almost ended in ruin had he not accidentally been found by Martha, a husky mother of an adult daughter. She had found him flat on his back after slipping in the mud. Not only had she offered to help him but she agreed to bring him to the village and act as his guide from time to time. The mature athletic mother was often stern and aloof, but she was very beautiful in his eyes.

The human knew that romantic feelings would impede his work, especially since he only had a few more days left to stay in the village; but his heart had an undoubtedly strong pull towards her.

'I'll let her sleep.' Leonid didn't want to disturb Arese while she slept and quietly tiptoed out of bed. The cream furred female husky snored softly without flicking an ear. He exited the humble dwelling, and was immediately greeted with the subtle chorus of the rainforest. The dense jungle was always alive with the sounds of wildlife: the noisy chattering of birds and blaring insects, but none of that was new to him over the past few weeks. The constant noise whether it was from rain showers, thunderstorms, rivers, or living creatures was almost overwhelming to the human during his first few days. It was the opposite of the silent snowy forests he had grown up with.

Outside, the village proper was a small clearing nestled tightly within the jungle, beside a little rocky creek. Towering trees created a wall of earthy colors, and nearly filled every inch of the canopy above. The bright greenery always appeared spring fresh given the warm and wet climate. The village itself was brilliantly hidden by the dense foliage, not that many intruders dared march into the difficult terrain.

The village's small homes were constructed primarily out of wood since it was a plentiful resource. Due to occasional seasonal flooding, most were built above ground. Modest decorations were made using flowering plants.

'I guess no one else is awake.' It was early in the morning, and most of the villagers who weren't participating in an early hunting or fishing trip were likely still asleep. The sudden sound of an infant making noise caught his attention. Peeking around a corner of the house, he could see Resek nursing Kajuna's infant, Tairu. The tiny wolf pup was softly suckling at one breast with a hungry mouth. The other breast with a wide areola appeared wet from a strong appetite.

Resek was watching the little one nurse with a content grin on her face. As the only other human in the settlement, her place always felt unique to him. Middle aged, she was also a former wet nurse, which was indispensable for any young mother. Unable to effectively hunt or traverse through the jungle terrain, Resek nursed the young of those who had trouble doing so; and the whole village gladly provided for her. She was very much a well loved and appreciated caretaker.

“Hmm?" He felt a hand rested on his shoulder. Looking over, Martha the mature husky was standing behind him. She carried her knife and bandolier strap tied to a jug of water; but nothing else. That was her typical style of “dress" considering she was always naked, like everyone else in the jungle. The heat and humidity was more than enough reason to do so. Her brown and cream furred front was always left bare for him to see. Even though Martha was older, Leonid couldn't help but secretly admire how beautiful she was to him. Her well rounded breasts contrasted with her athletic figure. The only area that interrupted her light cream furred front was a thick bush of dark brown pubic fur.

“What is it?" He looked into her pretty emerald green eyes.

“I want you to come with me, alone." She quietly spoke the last word.

“Okay." Leonid nodded and stood up. Both of them slipped away without alerting Resek of their presence. The naked husky mom beckoned for him with the modest flick of her tail before disappearing between the bushes. He eagerly followed her down the twisting pathway deeper into the jungle, leaving the small dwellings behind. The chattering cry of a kookaburra echoed through the trees only to fade away moments later. If it wasn't for Martha, Leonid would've been completely lost after a dozen or so steps out of the village.

“Was my sister still asleep?" Martha asked aloud once they were far away from the small village.

“Yes, she was still asleep when I left." He confirmed.

“That's good. My daughter is out hunting very early, so she won't bother us either." The husky noted much to his curiosity.

'Where is she taking me?' Leonid was intrigued to follow her.

“Have you managed to fill your book with writing yet?" She asked.

“No, but more than half of the pages are filled." He smiled. “Didn't you ask me that last night?" He thought he remembered.

“I-I don't know. I could have." She shrugged and held up a low hanging vine for him.

“Thanks." He passed under and nearly brushed past the lovely husky. Their eyes briefly met before Martha took the lead once again with Leonid happily walking behind her.

“So… where are you taking me?" He looked around the dense jungle, unable to see more than a few meters in any direction.

“I'll show you when we get there." She told him. “Don't be impatient." Her answer left the human guessing her intentions, not that he minded. Simply being with her made him happy.

“Should I have brought my notebook?" He asked.

“No. You won't need it."

'I should've brought my pack and notebook.' Leonid concluded in a thought to himself. The husky mom led him along the twisting jungle trail for a while longer before slowing her steady pace to a lazy stroll.

“We are here." She mentioned and slowly walked around a large tree trunk.

“Here?" Leonid looked around but didn't see anything beyond the dense foliage. The husky's tail swished at his cluelessness.

“Come here and look." Martha walked towards a rocky space where a few bushes and sturdy trees lined the edge of a cliff. The human carefully stepped around the massive tree's thick gnarled roots, and approached the edge beside her. His eyes widened at the sight before them. Leonid didn't realize how far the drop was, or how vast the rainforest stretched out before them.

“Wow. It's a beautiful view." He whispered as a wide horizon of rainforest was open to see. Much of his time in the area was spent in the flat section of land around the village and an adjacent shallow river. He never knew just how close the village had been to a large valley this entire time!

“It is impressive." Martha agreed contently.

“Thank you for bringing me here." Leonid scanned the endless green lowlands beneath them and wondered just how far the rainforest extended. One could only guess the secrets that lay hidden. For the first time since the human first entered the rainforest, he felt like he had entered a hidden little utopia.

Glancing over, Martha was peering at the vast landscape as well, using a branch and boulder to look further out. He secretly liked the way she clung to the branches so naturally, and leaned forward like a dancer. The curves of her naked form were bared for him to see against the endless green canopies below them. The human really wished he had brought his notebook for a sketch.

Martha glanced over and caught his prolonged gaze, but looked back at the rainforest below with a smile across her face. The naked husky stepped back and pulled off her leather straps before setting her oblong water container against a nearby tree. Leonid half expected her to go over and relieve herself if needed; but the husky suddenly stopped and turned to face him.

“You've got your eyes on me more than usual." She murmured, but didn't shy away from his gaze. Staring into her mossy green eyes, he found himself starting to smile.

“I like being with you." He admitted causing her triangular canine ears to perk up. The husky looked away wearing a half grin across her pretty muzzle.

“You like me." She offhandedly mentioned, surprising him.

“Well, yeah… I mean, of course I like you." Leonid said. “You were the first person to find and help me; you allowed me to use your home and taught me so much about hunting and tracking…" The human thought about the time he had spent with her from watching them hunt and fish to listening to all of their stories and experiences.

“And you look very beautiful." He couldn't help but add. Her ears wiggled at the sudden admission.

“Well? She glared at him. “If you like me, aren't you going to do something about it?" Her bold words took him aback.

“Do something-?" He blinked as she stepped forward to him until her naked breasts pressed against his bare chest. The gentle puffs of her breathing were felt from her nose just in front of his face. Her lovely green eyes gazed up at him mere inches away. He wanted to explore the depth and greenery of her eyes more than the entire rainforest. Would it be wrong to become lost in her gaze?

“M-Martha…" Her sudden advance made him breathless.

“The other day… when you told me that you trusted me." She whispered to him. “I… Right now, I'm trusting you." The mature husky placed her hands on his waist. She had been so aloof and difficult to read the past few days, but the svelte padded palms and fingertips felt reassuring on his bare skin.

“You can trust me." He gently placed a hand on her shoulder, and another on the husky's back to bring her into a loose embrace. Her body heat touched him with tenderness, and he ached to fully feel her love. He could almost taste her breath, and silently wondered if she could feel his heart beating.

Closing the gap between them, he planted a curious kiss on her lips and was met with a pleasant sensation of short fur. The husky's fuzzy lined lips slowly parted, and the subtle heat from her mouth encouraged him to go further. Eyes closed, their heads tilted and moved as the kiss deepened. Her muzzle full of teeth made it difficult to kiss, but their tongues mingled like dancing pythons. A tingly warmth spread throughout Leonid's body, and his heart was pounding within his chest like a drum.

Once their lips parted and eyes opened once again, a wonderful feeling had overtaken them. Gently taking ahold of his hands, Martha stepped back until their arms were stretched out. She leaned back against the tree, wondering what move he would make next. Leonid weighed his options, but surprised her by kneeling down in front of her. The husky held her breath and parted her legs for him.

The human's gaze was immediately drawn to her sex. The dark brown pubic fur contrasted greatly against her soft cream furred thighs and abs. Despite being so visible in plain daylight, Leonid could never see through the dense bush covering her womanhood, which only excited him even more. The mature husky who had been through so much in her life appeared nervous for the first time to him. However, the excitement in her eyes matched his own. She was as eager as him.

Leonid touched her strong thighs and ruffled his fingers through brown fur into white fur. He could hear Martha exhale from above. He gently preened through the subtly coarse pubic fur, almost grooming it for her. Fingertips touched warmth, and the cleft where her labia met. Arousal flooded his veins as he parted the pubic fur, revealing the pretty line of her womanhood nestled underneath.

“What did you expect to find?" Martha managed a funny comment through the thickening intimacy.

“Didn't you tell me during a hunt that anything can be hiding behind a bush?" Leonid wittily replied. The husky's ears fell back somewhat bashfully as she smiled.

“Not this bush…" She mused. Leonid held back a second retort and leaned closer. Martha fell silent as his hot breath fell upon her bare sex, sending a shiver of heat up her back. He unceremoniously buried his face into her thick bush where he found her womanhood eagerly awaiting.

“Mmm." She softly sighed and closed her eyes as he licked her luscious wet lips. The husky was aroused, but Leonid knew it would require patience to bring her to a meaningful climax. The human was gradual, lapping slowly along her cleft, using her soft moans and sighs as cues. His hands didn't remain idle and rubbed around her abs and outer legs.

“Mmmm… Ohh." Martha cooed gracefully as his tongue dipped between her sensitive folds. His lips pressed hotly against her own in a full “kiss," and tasted the heat of her body on his tongue. The husky's ears fell back as her chest rose and fell. The subtle noises of Leonid lapping at her womanhood only added to the eroticism. The minutes were pleasantly slow to tick by for them both, but a particular swipe of his tongue made her claws curl into the soft ground below.

“Ahhh!" She tilted her head back and groaned. Claws dug into bark as she lifted a leg for him. “Yes! Right… right there!! Mmmm! Oohh!" She moaned and groaned with passion. Her hips rolled and ground against his mouth as he never slowed. The sudden change in pitch and urgency told Leonid that she was close. Her breaths came faster, and a glance up through the husky's pubic fur revealed a contorted expression of pleasure as her upper body trembled in delight causing her breasts to subtly shake.

“Ahhhh! Ah!" Martha's voice rose angelically. Her back arched as the next few breaths came through a jagged gasping moan. “Leooo-!" Martha didn't finish as her claws cut into the tree bark. Her guttural cry went silent as Leonid felt her entire body shudder like an earthquake. He had to hold her writhing hips still to keep the husky planted firmly against the tree trunk.

Leonid stopped as a sharp inhale from above pierced the humid air. Her shaky hands grasped his shoulders as she bent forward, panting and huffing passionately. Her body mostly relaxed, but a few lingering jitters passed through her like tiny shocks.

“Oh Leonid…" She could scarcely find a word other than his name to say. Leonid stood up and rubbed her back for a moment.

“We're not done yet." He huffed and gripped her waist firmly. Martha blinked and noticed he had discarded his loincloth. A full hard on stared up at her with its own desires. The mature husky silently nodded in agreement while wearing a silly grin. Martha settled down and dropped onto her hands and knees for him. Leonid knelt down behind her rear and pet her tail. The furry appendage politely flagged to the side for him. He could see that her sex was visibly wet despite the thick pubic fur hiding her womanhood.

“Well?" The husky looked over her shoulder at him expectantly.

“Just enjoying the view." He teased and gave her butt a firm pat. Martha held back a laugh and looked ahead once again. Leonid didn't opt for any foreplay and lined up to her entrance. The husky's taste lingered in his mouth, and the human was already aroused from pleasuring her so much. He rubbed his tip against her wet folds eliciting a hum of approval from her.

“Alright-“

“Hurry up already." Martha teased and wiggled her rear. Leonid huffed and penetrated her with a gentle thrust that bounced into her rear.

“Ooohh." She moaned melodically as he penetrated her slick sex.

“Hnngh." Leonid hummed as the sensation of heat enveloped his entire length. His mouth had a taste of her, and now the rest of his body was as well. He grabbed ahold of her hips and leaned forward, letting instinct take over. Their bodies rocked together as he thrusted into her with rhythmic slaps that were muffled by the jungle's surrounding sounds. The husky's breasts shook and swayed underneath her from the constant motion. The pleasure rose all too quickly, even as Leonid slowed down to pace himself. The burning need and desire urged him to keep going.

“I'm gonna finish!" He grunted through each pump, but Martha's head hung low too enthralled to hear him. The pleasure peaked and Leonid knew it was time. Burying his length inside her, he came with animalistic passion. Each pulse of his seed emptying into her sent waves of euphoric pleasure through his body until the very last drop. The entire forest went silent around him for the first time. Holding onto her hips, the human steadied himself as sound quickly returned to his ears.

Leonid was panting as he finally backed away and slipped out. His softening member dangled freely, and glistened wetly from being inside her. Martha's tail swished and brushed over his front. The husky stood up on shaky legs and wiped off some dirt in her fur.

“We'll need to bathe before we head back." She mentioned.

“Yeah." Leonid blankly nodded in agreement. He knew they needed to clean up, although everyone's strong sense of smell would likely know what had happened anyway. Martha turned and sat down with her legs stretched out to view the lowland forests with ease. Leonid sat down behind her, and stretched his legs alongside hers. The view before them was still beautiful, but it only held a fraction of his attention. He slowly rubbed his hands up and down her warm sides; feeling his fingertips trail over the edges of her abs only to reach the soft cusp of her lovely breasts.

“No teasing after all that." She placed both his hands over her bare breasts, which he readily rubbed.

“I'm not teasing, I promise." He insisted and rested his chin onto her shoulder. The handfuls of her lovely bosom in his palms were soft and warm, as if the human was holding all of her heart's love to himself.

“If you ever want to make love to me again, just say so." She grinned. “That was amazing." Martha stated again making him smile.

“Won't you be too grumpy most of the time?" He teased.

“Hell, I wouldn't be grumpy about anything after this." She leaned her head back.

“You're acting like you've never been intimate with someone else before." He pointed out.

“I haven't." She surprised him.

“But I thought-."

“I've had sex plenty of times before I escaped, but never anything quite like this. I've never been loved before." She realized. “Having sex, no matter how much, without any love is like drinking water and still feeling thirsty."

“You're right." He murmured in agreement and simply held her close. Martha's words felt profound given all she had been through, and would likely keep secret. However, it meant something to him. Leonid was the only male that she felt loved by. Another chattering call from a kookaburra echoed overhead.

“How did you know that I liked you?" He asked.

“Does it matter?"

“No, not really." He admitted. “But I'm curious."

“I would always catch you staring at me, or at least watching from afar."

“Ah, sorry about that." He felt bashful over the creepy behavior.

“Don't be." She rebuffed him. “Arese told me weeks ago sometime after you first arrived, but I didn't believe her. I guess I was a little ignorant."

“I like your independent personality."

“You'd be the first." Martha softly giggled. She caught him off guard by suddenly leaning back onto him. A lovely renewed warmth spread throughout his body. Leonid held Martha in his arms and smiled even wider. The human felt so happy in the moment, wishing it would never end.

“I never expected leaving would be so difficult." He whispered.

“When do you have to go?" Her hands rested atop his own, wanting him to stay.

“Four days."

“I'll guide you back." She quickly offered under her breath.

“I wouldn't want anyone else to." He nuzzled her shoulder and smelled her lovely wild canine scent. “But are you going to lead me back here?" He teased.

“Maybe…" She giggled and turned her head to brush her muzzle across his cheek.

“I wouldn't mind a brief detour." Leonid whispered and kissed her while the insects and birds buzzed and screeched around them.
