Chapter 1: Roommates

Cass didn’t know it, but his days as a human were drawing to a close.

The apartment was a comfortable two-bedroom tucked into an old brick building in a quiet New England college tow. Exposed wooden beams overhead, wide-plank floors that creaked underfoot, and tall windows letting in the soft gray light of late afternoon. A worn leather couch dominated the living room, flanked by mismatched bookshelves stuffed with fantasy novels and hiking gear.

The bedroom was dim, lit only by the blue-white glow of Cass’s computer monitor. The air hung thick with the lingering scent of Cass’ roommate: a tall, dark, strikingly handsome wolf whose musky, earthy aroma never failed to drive Cass wild. But Cass was a human in his mid-twenties, and his hunger for the black-furred anthro was a closely guarded secret. A deep, aching longing no one could ever know he carried. Taboo. Not unheard of, but like the bisexuality he also kept hidden, it was far easier to pretend otherwise.

Roan wouldn’t be home for a while, leaving his roommate Cass to his own devices and his naughtier desires. While the wolf was away, the human would play.

So Cass stole his pleasure when Roan was out, letting his mind fill with fantasies of the big wolf who remained blissfully unaware.

Cass sat now with his pants pooled around his ankles, shirt shoved up under his armpits, rocking slowly in the desk chair. The screen blazed with scenes of anthro wolves: breeding, thrusting, spilling, devouring one another. The sight ignited that familiar fire in his core, stealing his breath as he watched those sleek, powerful bodies and curved thighs, rippling muscle, moaning and panting as they claim each other with primal abandon. Sometimes animations crafted by humans sufficed; other times he ventured to darker corners of the web for real footage. In society, anthro mating, especially involving humans, remained far from mainstream or socially accepted.

Even in this hurried session, a thick, curved vibrator buzzed deep inside him sending instant waves of pleasure rippling outward, tingling along his nerves and coaxing his cock to full, leaking hardness. He kept the setting low and teasing, letting the toy’s shape do most of the work, heat climbing his spine. No time today for chasing those long, hands-free dry orgasms. Though he loved those, and was highly ‘rewired’ from experience for them.

His right hand wrapped around his shaft, over seven inches, thick and veiny, smooth beneath his fingers. The circumcised head flushed plump and red. With his left, he cupped the heavy weight of his balls, rolling them gently, savoring the radiant pulses of lust spreading through his pelvis as he kneaded the soft, sensitive skin. He knew exactly how to finish himself fast.

The next clip loaded: a sultry animation featuring a fox and a horse in a stable, a popular among the furry community, and a classic...

Cass’s breath hitched as arousal surged and he watched the fox get on his knees in front of that massive horse cock.

He reached down and nudged the vibration up a notch.

And that’s when the door swung open. Roan’s sleek yet imposingly large silhouette filled the doorway, backlit by the hallway’s harsh light pouring into the dim room. Cass froze, too stunned to even attempt covering himself. It was far too late.

There stood his roommate: tight black t-shirt stretched over black fur and corded muscle, jeans hugging powerful thighs, a twelve-pack of IPA dangling from one dark-furred paw. Golden eyes widened. His muzzle parted in shock.

Cool, fresh forest air rolled in behind him. Neither moved for one endless, suspended second. Then Cass yelped, yanking both hands down to shield his lap. The abrupt motion jolted the toy hard against his prostate; he bit back a moan even as his cock began to soften under his palms from sheer panic, fresh precum seeping between his fingers. A few drops had already hit the floor. This was catastrophic. He was ruined.

“What are you doing, buddy!?” Roan’s muzzle, deep, velvety, split into a surprised laugh. He padded across the room toward Cass, clearly amused. “Having some alone time? What’re you watching while I’m gone? Wha...”

Cass’s face burned crimson, but all he could do was sit there, hands clamped over his groin, the toy still sending treacherous ripples of pleasure through his limbs.

“You’re into guys!?” Roan exclaimed. “And holy shit, furry porn?” His voice carried genuine shock, but no trace of revulsion. “That’s fucked up,” he said, laughing again.

Cass thought he might actually pass out from the heat in his cheeks. He couldn’t even bring himself to remove the Aneros still nestled inside him.

Roan set the beer on the dresser with a thud that echoed too loudly in the sudden silence. He didn’t leave. He simply stood there, nostrils flaring as he drew in the thick scents of Cass’s arousal, precum, sweat. Then, quieter, more somber: “I ... fuck, man. I didn’t mean to say it like that.” He rubbed the back of his thick, black-furred neck. “There’s nothing wrong with this. It’s okay.”

Cass exhaled shakily. “I’m sorry, Roan...”

Roan waved a paw. “Hey, don’t be. It’s fine, really. I don’t care in the slightest, and you know I won’t breathe a word to anyone.”

Cass started to rise, still shielding himself as best he could. That’s when a large, strong paw settled on his shoulder, gently but firmly pressing him back into the chair.

“Roan?”

“I have to wonder ... you’re into these wolves, huh? Does that mean ... do I turn you on like this?”

Cass’s heart hammered so fiercely he was sure Roan’s keen senses picked up every frantic beat. He hesitated, the cocktail of lingering horniness, toy-induced euphoria, and adrenaline clouding his judgment. “Yeah...” he whispered.
