Commission for Eikthynir_The_Deer!

Mahiri really is a deep sleeper. Eik knows this well, and he also knows how much she approves of him getting a little frisky with her while she snoozes through everything. How far will she let him go? How greedy will that horny buck get with the slumbering beauty when he knows he can get away with just about anything he wants to do?

Contains: Sleep sex, breeding, cock vore/cum digestion and more!


When Mahiri was sleepy enough, there really was nothing that could wake her. Eikthynir knew that well. He didn't even have to move especially quietly on his hooves when he crept into the slumbering leopardess' bedroom that night. The warming weather meant that the spotty cat slept with only a single sheet laid across her curvy figure, and beneath it, she was completely nude. All Eik had to do to get a good look at her luscious naked form was to strip away that single cover, and he could ogle all he liked while the kitty kept on snoozing.

It looked like she was having some pleasant dreams. She gave the occasional murmur of something he couldn't understand, maybe even a little prrowl. Most notably, she was visibly wet. Even standing above her bed like a sleep paralysis demon, Eik could feel the heat emanating off of her. That was something that most certainly required further investigation. He snuffled his way down between her legs like a hound, stroking along the inside of her thighs just the way he knew she liked. Even very much unconscious, she rumbled her approval at the subtle touches.

The gentle strokes of her soft fur didn't disturb her dreams. She squirmed a little as those subconscious images apparently grew more pleasant. He saw the little twitches passing through her fingers and the twitch of her tail, along with the inviting quivers of her bare, slathered pussy lips. Leaning in all the closer to take a deep huff of her heated scent made his mouth water. He had to lick his chops just to keep from drooling on her. It all was starting to make him hard, and that was no small deal for a hung deer like Eik.

The swelling girth of his sleek black cock started to reach legendary proportions in just a few seconds of filling out. Thickening to the size of his forearm just by huffing the perfume of the sleepy, horny feline. When he went so far as to carefully draw his tongue along the folds of her sweet sex, slowly lapping up all the juices she had on offer, he started throbbing. Filling his senses with the flavour of her lust made him drip precum on her sheets, basking in her heat, radiating his own, and the musk of a potent, virile buck ready to breed with a nice fertile pussy like her.

As hard as he was, he remained patient. There was no need to rush things and wake her up prematurely. She would have wanted it that way. He knew how much she loved those little nocturnal visits. She left her door open for a reason. The time for testing just how far he could go without interrupting her sleep was later. For now, he simply slurped and sampled her, bringing her subtle pleasure while he basted his tongue in her juices. Her arousal was saturating his system, overwhelming his senses, but no matter how urgently he pulsed for her, no matter how badly he craved to enter her, he resisted for as long as he could.

What started as a subtle lick soon devolved into a sloppy slather. He lapped from her cunt as if from a lake, filling his mouth with her fragrant juices, swallowing them down with audible gulps. That cat was wet, and he liked to think it was partly thanks to him. Even in her sleep, she knew the scent of a stud, and her body reacted accordingly. He had his whole mouth wrapped around her pussy before long, sucking on those juicy lips, helping her drench herself while she cleansed his palate with her liquid lust trickling down the intricate details of her swollen sex.

When he rose up from his feast, his whole muzzle was coated in the results of his generosity. He licked along his chops but that was hardly adequate to tidy him up. Her flavour was just going to cling to him, and he didn't mind that one bit. Moving over her like a big, strong blanket, he partly covered her with his bulk while he got his head between her tits. His cock was pushing up closer and closer to her sex, trembling with anticipation, but he didn't move to her just yet. There was still so much of her to enjoy. With his hands roaming up and down her sides, admiring the shape of her hips, softly squeezing the slight paunch of her belly, he immersed himself in her curves and kissed her cleavage as deeply as he wanted.

Her heart beat slowly beneath her breast and her breath came steadily while he lingered there, nuzzling and enjoying her. Neither sped up, even once he got his tongue involved again. She was comfortably snoozing away, completely under while he licked across her pleasantly pink nips until they firmed up for him. After that, it was simply impossible to resist wrapping his lips around one of them and sucking hard. Maybe he went a little overboard given the schlurking sound that resulted from that, but aside from a little quiver of the leopard's dark lower lip, she didn't complain. She was still all his to toy with however he liked.

Of course the buck wanted to know just how much he could get away with. She smelled so nice, so sweet and feminine, and tasted it too. He wanted to change that. Rising up on his knees, he straddled her and laid his cock right atop her breasts. It was steaming with the heat coming off of it. Every little pulse of arousal made another thick bead of potent deer precum dribble down onto her chin, or roll down her freckled cheeks. When he started rubbing his dick against her bust, he just made even more of a mess, just throbbed all the more.

She somehow still looked so elegant while she was asleep like that, with her hair all splayed out, her pretty whiskers reflecting the moonlight through the window. Such a pretty face needed a pair of deer nuts on it. He scooted forward, lifting right up, only to come back down again to smother her under his sack. They were plump enough to cover her entire face if he wanted, but he made sure to only cover her nose. He got that kitty face nestled right between his hefty, fluffy balls and proceeded to grind his musk into her senses. A grin overtook him at her muffled murmur in response. Huffing his scent right from his nuts was probably enough to jog her memory and make Eik himself the star of all her erotic dreams.

At that point his dick was pumping hard enough to make him flinch and grunt. A snort of air escaped him at a particularly desperate flex of that lengthy shaft. He spurted his precum for her, laying it into her splayed crimson locks, or all over her pillows. Every moment he spent not fucking her was hurting him. He'd put in a valiant effort lasting that long, he told himself. It was time to treat himself. Getting snug on top of her, he laid a little kiss on her cheek then cuddled up with his head beside her own while he pushed his tip against her tender pussy.

As much as he wanted to just ram it inside of her right that very moment, that would have spoiled everything. Instead, he took his time slowly easing his wet tip between those lips, letting her adjust to his size little by little. Eik knew well how stretchy Mahiri could be by then, but being flexible and being unwakeable were two different things. He inched inside of her, suppressing his grunts of pleasure but for a little gasp into her neck, hoping he wasn't throbbing so hard to shake her out of her increasingly sensual dreams. Just having that warm, wet leopard pussy all snugly wrapped around him, pulsing, flexing, squeezing on his glossy shaft had him absolutely thumping with arousal, tremors passing through his fat cock while he made more and more of a mess of a mess inside her with all the precum drooling from his sex-slathered tip.

Just feeling her kneading on his cock with those constant contractions of her inner muscles told him it was just what she needed. It made him fight with the urge to simply give in to his inner rut and fuck her stupid, no matter how quickly that might have woken her up. Instead, he savoured the feeling of having his way with her completely on his own terms, ever so slowly pushing in and sliding back out with a long, wet schlrrrrck of a sucking noise. He didn't go in all the way. Slapping his nuts against her would have been satisfying, but the stretching probably would have roused her from her pleasurable dreams. She was hmming, huffing, even purring while he ever so slowly fucked her in her sleep.

Sometimes he watched her dreaming face, watching her expression shift and twitch to the pleasure he was granting her with every slow-motion thrust. The sloppy sounds of her wet sex slurping around his cock with every long, gradual stroke might have been enough to wake a lighter sleeper, but the most she gave was a pleasured murmur while he made a mess of her inner thighs with all the juices splashing out of her on each backstroke. He looked down just to enjoy the sight of his cock getting all slick and shiny in her juices while he carefully pushed it in and out of her flooded pussy, listening to her purrs get even deeper the whole time. It was amazing how much noise she could make without waking up.

Feeling her warm, slick sex wrapped tight around every inch he buried in her, grasping and clenching on him as if in desperation was the kind of thing that made him want to cum. He was completely bare inside of her, feeling the warmth radiating out over his shaft and the rest of his body alike. It felt pretty certain that he was going to knock her up if he kept going like that, if he mated her all the way to a finish and filled her womb with deer cum. A tempting thought, but he showed a little restraint. He was trying to make her squirt, not make her a mom. Licking his lips, he watched her sleepy face twist into an expression of ecstasy.

She was getting tighter. Her pussy hugged his dick as if she meant to keep it, as if she wanted nothing more in the world but to feel his cum inside her. The temptation rose, but he wrestled with her subconscious instinctual urges and slowly pulled back from her grasp. He kept thrusting, still working slowly, but picking up the pace, bouncing the bed slightly with his efforts to make her squirt. She was contracting, convulsing, shuddering all over. Her right leg kicked out wildly but her eyes never opened. Even the whimper of pleasure that escaped her was a muffled, sleepy one while she went over the edge.

Feeling her outright gush on him from just a slow back and forth glide of his shaft inside her got him biting his lip. He wanted to bellow, wanted to moan and grunt and thunder her name while she milked at him. Her twitching depths beckoned to him, all but demanding that he fill her up, but he fought with her sleeping urges and instead slipped out of her richly fertile cunt at the very last second. He didn't even have to stroke himself off to blow his load, balls pumping, cock bulging with the cum shooting up his hefty spire. In the haze of climax, he permitted himself to make just a little noise.

"Mmmmm, yeah," he half-whispered, half-growled to her while he watched her pretty body get all covered in fresh deer spunk.

Eik absolutely slathered her, painting her down in the hot jets of his jizz. He splattered her from her belly to her fat tits, and even got some of it on her face. She was completely covered by the time he was done soaking her, leaving her with rivers of steamy cream rolling down her curves, soaking into her bed. The whole room was going to smell like horny deer by morning, but especially her. Eik knelt over her, grinning at his handiwork, even stroking his fingers through the mess he made of her to rub it around and help work it into her skin. It was a nice, possessive mark to let her know who owned her at night, and yet he still couldn't help but feel he could do better than that.

His dick was harder than ever. It was stiff enough to thump against his middle while he looked her up and down. He was far from done with her. Watching her for a little longer, he confirmed she just seemed to slip even deeper into slumber after getting pleasured like that. She snoozed away, breathing softly, eyes shut gently, and didn't stir even as he moved around her bedroom. Eik moved off of her to instead check her bedside table. He had an idea, and he was certain that kinky leopard kept what he needed close at hand. Sure enough, all it took was sliding out a few drawers in her bedside table before he found what he needed. Of course the slutty kitty kept some rope nearby for easy access. Good thing he knew how to tie a strong knot.

Working carefully to bind her wrists and stretch her out on her own bed without waking her helped to keep her in place, just in case she did wake. He wasn't about to let anything stop her. A few strokes of his slick cock left him biting his lower lip just to suppress the grunt. No matter how much of a mess he'd made of her, he was still aching. The bondage made her bust stick out even more prominently, and so that's where he put his hands, squishing and squeezing her cum-coated tits while he nestled down between her thighs all over again. This time he was going all the way.

A low rumble in his throat sounded like he was trying to imitate her when he got on top of her once more. This time, he weighed down a little more heavily on her soft body. It meant getting his own cum on him, but he hardly cared when it meant being close to a warm, fuckable kitty like her. He spread her folds around his huge dick and pushed deep - then deeper, deeper. He knew how flexible she was. A cat like her was made of elastic inside and out, he always found. That meant she could take his whole dick without flinching, even if it meant stretching her belly with the outline of all that deer meat wedged in her tender, dripping pussy.

Eik took a moment to just enjoy the feeling of being fully inside of her. His balls were snug against her pussy lips, constantly flexing and pulsing with the urge to blow another load, this time inside of her. He probably could have reached his peak just by staying there, buried inside of her, feeling her gripping him so very tightly. Instead, he pulled back and let his entire length slurp out of her sex, only to plunge back in with a solid smack of his nuts to her ass. He watched the impact wobble through her entire body, bouncing those lovely tits, splashing the spunk around, and then he gave her another. Harshly, deeply fucking her deep down into her own bed eventually shook her out of that slumbering state, but only slightly.

"Hmmmf, wh - " came her confused mumble, eyes slightly open to reveal a slit of green.

"Shhhh," he told her. "You're just having a dream. Go back to sleep. I'll take care of you."

"Mmmm .... " was her response. She closed her eyes again and slumped down beneath him, seemingly satisfied with his explanation.

That was his queue to absolutely rut her. He treated her like a doe in heat while he fucked in her in wet, nut-slapping thrusts that shook the entire room and brought loud squeaks from the bed. She made plenty of noise herself, but it was clear she'd drifted back off at his command. Her moans were muffled and shaken, her expression was slowly shifting into a snarl of pleasure, but everything she did was slow and uncertain while she dreamed of precisely what was happening to her. In the meantime, he lost himself in a flurry of slurping, schlicking thrusts into that absolutely sopping sex, smacking her with his nuts again and again. There was nothing that could have stopped him then.

"Ohhhh, Eik ..." she muttered, but not to the real him. That sleepy voice was clearly talking to the version of the buck who was fucking her in her dream. Her whispered urge was just as effective on the living deer than the ephemeral one. "Breed me ..."

If he wasn't already committed to that, then he certainly was after hearing her ask him for it. His cock was buried inside her far too deep to pull out quickly. He was going at her at full force, flexing those muscles, using his strength to pound her like she really needed. It shook and bounced her, making her blink and flutter her eyelids, sometimes raising her head, even tugging at her restraints, but she couldn't seem to fully wake up. Not quite. She was stuck in a semi-dreamy state of pleasure and lust, clenching on him, giving those rapid full-body flexes that told him an orgasm was coming from her once again. He was ready to meet her climax with equal passion.

Clutching her close, squishing her breasts to his chest, huffing hotly in her ear, he slamfucked the half-sleeping cat until she was arching her back and bucking up into his cock. That only drove him deeper, utterly stuffing her full of deer dick until she was primed and ready to gush for him just as hard as the first time. If he was going to pull out, it was already beyond the moment. Eik was fully committed to making that womb his own, already painting it with thick shots of precum. Those juices just got thicker and thicker while he bottomed out, a blur of motion, rutting her to a finish with his balls nestled snugly against her soft pussy lips. He felt her clench, felt her gripping and milking him, and he suppressed his moan by locking lips with her dazed face while he dumped his load right inside of her.

Eik made absolutely certain he knocked her up, draining every single drop straight into her. The splurch of all that deer jizz hitting her, filling her, bloating her out with a little tummy echoed through the quiet bedroom. He huffed and grunted and grit his teeth while he fucked her full of cum, squeezing and clutching her close as if she might slip away. Those restraints held tight all throughout his orgasm, and he was left there on top of her, sweating, panting, and oh so satisfied. He could still feel the spasms of her muscles lingering to the very last drop he gave her. She'd been peaking all throughout his climax, down to the very last spurt.

Satisfied, she slumped down into full sleep once more, with no objections about getting bred by the deer stud who'd snuck into her bed at night. Snuck was hardly the word for it. She'd been openly offering herself up to him for a while now, and it was an invitation he simply couldn't refuse. Maybe she'd come to regret it, when she found out how many liberties he'd taken with her body while she slept. Propping himself up once more, he looked her over, listening to her purr, watching her faintly squirm on his dick in her sleep. She was completely free to play with as he pleased. He was starting to get other ideas.

Slowly pulling out of her left him occasionally shuddering with pleasure. He was still stiff, still sensitive, and absolutely soaked from tip to nuts in his own spunk. She'd helped him drain himself dry, or at least relieve the tension for a little while, but he wasn't getting any softer. A potent buck like Eik probably could have fucked her a dozen times more for how good she felt all wrapped around his cock. Yet watching her sleep so deeply was inspiring his most devious side. He wore a wicked smirk as he slipped down to the edge of her bed, pulling the covers off her bare paws so he could snatch them for himself.

What started as a brief foot massage led to him slowly pushing her soft pawpads against the tip of his dick. At first it was just grinding on her, but it didn't take long for his schemes to be revealed. Mahiri slept on, resoundingly dozing even while the buck started to feed her into his dick. He dipped her toes into the sleek confines of his shaft and just kept going. The natural clenches took over by the time he reached his ankles, easily bulging out his dark cock with the outline of her body. He was every bit as stretchy as she was when it came to fitting things inside him, just in a different sort of way.

The leopardess wore a little smile on her sleeping face, unconsciously basking in the afterglow of getting knocked up by the same deer who was slowly swallowing her. Eik took his time. He got her inside him up to her shins, and from there simply leaned back to stroke himself off to the pleasure of consuming her spot by spot. The natural grip of his pleasure contractions did well to suck her in deeper, loudly gulping around her legs in a way that sounded identical to a gullet. A particularly wet one at that, squishing and squeezing all around her to soak the parts of her fur he hadn't already covered in her cum.

With her bound to the bed like that, he found himself crawling over top of her once more, this time with her immersed up to her thick thighs in his cock. He kept stroking, swallowing her inch by inch, watching those rosettes disappear. Maybe he could have stopped then and slipped her back out, but she offered no resistance, no reason for him to stop enjoying her right down to the very last gulp. Working her ass into his cock took a little squirming given how wide her hips were. He soon had her bulging beneath the black skin of his shaft while he leaned closer to her face, breathing steaming with his excitement. His balls were already clenching up tight, forming perfectly round shapes with the tension and anticipation running through them. He wanted her, and he needed to have her all to himself that very night.

Working along her belly took a little effort too, but she was plenty soft. It was only when he got to her tits that he really had to pause to readjust. Those great juicy melons weren't easy to squish away into his dick, even if they were nicely lubed up with his cum. Eik took a moment to reach up and untie her once more just so she'd be easier to manipulate. She didn't react, even when he took position, thrusting against her to help wedge that ample bust down his cock, humping her inside of him a little at a time. Pressing her head down into her pillow to use as leverage, he worked his hips, flexed his dick, and eventually jammed those fat cat tits down his spire with a jet of precum getting squeezed out in all directions, juiced out by her captured curves.

That surge of motion was what finally seemed to make Mahiri aware of what was happening to her. Her eyes shot open, only to half-close again when fatigue and confusion hit her. She squinted in the dark as if she wasn't a cat, swimming in the hot musk of the horny buck, engulfed right up to her neck in his massive cock. Her paws were touching down in his nuts, her every inch was getting squeezed on and dragged down deeper until her chin touched the tip of his dick. Finally, she managed to blink a few times and stare at him, emeralds gleaming faintly in the dark, dulled by sleepiness. Her words were barely above a breath, sighed out when she found herself too trapped in that predatory cock to do much more than squirm.

"Eik? Is that - what's going -"

"Shhh," he urged her. "I told you. Go back to sleep. I'll take care of you."

With that, he laid both hands atop her head, and added a little strength to the effort of finishing her off. By the time she was conscious enough of what was happening to her, she was in no position to do anything about it. The leopardess opened her mouth to object to the situation, but she got nothing out but for the muffled hmmmf of alarm and outrage alike when she got her muzzle stuffed down his dick. There was nothing left of her outside him but for her angrily flattened ears and her wide, gleaming eyes staring right at him while he polished off his cock-meal. He flashed her a proud grin before she was engulfed in the musky darkness.

From there he got to listen to her mmmfs of objection while he sucked her down her shaft, kneading all around the bulges of her curvy body pushing out beneath the dark skin. He was stiff and absolutely pulsing while he worked her down, grunting his delight at finally going all the way with her. Not just cumming inside her, but introducing her to the cum factory that was his big fat sack. It was only stretching out larger with her added weight as she settled down and curled up at the bottom. His balls sagged between his legs, dropping down to the floor before long, bulging out with the shape of her wriggling form. Such discontent was slowly quelled by the intense heat and scents assaulting her from all sides, subduing her with each passing moment she spent inside him as his spotty cocksnack.

All it took was one more long, hefty swallow. Eik gave a groan, a grunt, and then a lengthy siiiiigh once the cat was finally tucked away inside her new temporary home, squirming in his balls, swimming in his spunk. He took a moment to gather himself, then climbed right up on her bed, hauling her along with him, jostling, sloshing, getting absolutely slathered from all sides in the cum flowing all around her. Her movements were vigorous at first. She pushed out on the walls and did everything in her power to keep them from hugging so tightly all around her naked body, but Eik had a way of settling her down. It involved clenching.

"Here we go, kitty. Try to enjoy the ride, at least!"

Stroking his well-fed dick with both hands, he manually pulled his balls up tight all around her, squishing her so intensely he could see almost every single detail of her body outlined beneath the skin. That pretty face, those luscious tits, even the folds of her pussy were visible while he kept the tension going all around her. Mahiri gave a startled cry that was barely audible above the general churning of the cum invading her from every direction at once. She was soaking in it, absolutely inundated with his thick scent, with his buck essence, but still very much solid for the moment. That wasn't going to last if he kept squeezing on her like that.

As much as she might have squirmed, she couldn't keep from softening after several minutes straight of that dominant treatment. He flexed up around her, then relaxed, again and again. Every time he did it, he seemed to make a little more progress, squishing inwards on her body just a little more, shaping her into a more malleable self. What started as a muffled form of something almost like words from her mouth grew much wetter as she got churned up into thick deer jizz, gurgling rather than protesting, sloshing rather than squirming. She wasn't going to last much longer if he kept working her over like that, pumping his dick hard with both hands, letting his natural clenches take over and finish her off.

"Almost there ..." he told her, barely above a whisper. The throes of pleasure made it difficult to speak.

The silhouette of a trapped leopardess in his balls was little more than a rounded bulge after a good clenching. There remained the vague outline of her features, the general shape of her curves, her bust, but she was more cum than cat by then. All it was going to take was one more good, decisive squeeze. Eik braced himself, arching his back with pleasure, shutting his eyes tight. His balls worked hard, pumping, attacking what remained of her, subduing any remaining movement, muffling or drowning out any sounds she could still make. There was one last little nnnn from her lips while the tension built all around her body, squishing her flat, forcing her to merge with the cream all around her. It all came to a finish with a tremendous GLURSH that rang out like an eruption of sloppy, squelching noise once he finally ended her with the power of his predatory nuts.

"Almost ... FUCK!" he shouted, a full below that would have woken anyone else in the house. There was no one there but him after a clench like that. He watched his balls rounding out and smoothing over, devoid of any bulges, anything solid but for the thick freshly churned load of cum weighing them down, and sighed his satisfaction. "Goooood girl."

He didn't get to rest for long. Not with how hard he was throbbing, how much pre he was already leaking, how urgently his balls kept flexing with the need to release that freshly processed load he'd made her into. The plush kitty made for a whole lot of spunk, and he could hear his nuts churning while the tension quivered through his sleek black shaft. Biting his lip for a second, he turned his head to quickly perform a search of her bedside table once more. No matter how many drawers he pulled out, he couldn't find what he was looking for.

"You've got to have a condom around here somewhere ..." he muttered with rising urgency.

Even if she did, there was no way it was going to be big enough for the load demanding immediate release from his prey-fattened balls. Eventually, he just shrugged. It wasn't like Mahiri could say anything about what he was about to do to her bedroom. Snuggling himself into the mattress, in the same little niche she'd been occupying not long ago, he poured his full effort into getting himself off. Stroking, pumping, humping his grip, he milked his cock until his groans were shuddering along with his breath, his eyes were scrunched tightly shut, and his flat teeth were on full display in a grimace of bliss. It was the kind of thing that could only come with nut-snuffing such a pretty, breedable kitty.

He was just going to have to embrace the mess. In a frenzy of self-pleasure so intense he was drooling slightly, he gave a deerish cry and let her loose all at once. The veins on his cock bulged taut while the swell of spunk rose up through his shaft, erupting all at once with a colossal SPLURT that didn't diminish in volume with repeated shots. He was a gushing hose, a fountain of hot deer jizz, pouring it all over himself and the bed around him. Much more than that, he splattered her walls, her floor, even her ceiling with the constant torrent of cum. It rained down on him and his surroundings while his balls slowly emptied out, diminishing in size with every sloppy pump, painting the leopard's bedroom with her own cum-digested self, all in the name of a buck's fleeting ecstasy.

Well, not that fleeting. Eik was cumming her out for a solid minute or more, locked in a peak so intense it made him want to scream. Instead he was panting, grunting, gritting his teeth just to bear the pleasure she granted him in her creamy departure. When the flow finally slowed, he had all but vanished beneath the waves of his own cum. He still managed a few more trickles before his cock finally flopped down to his chest with a messy splat. After that it was nothing more than panting, sweating, and basking in the musky aftermath of the havoc he'd inflicted upon her once tidy bedroom. Cum ran down the walls or dripped from the ceiling, sinking into every surface, marking her dwelling down with his musk. That room was as good as his, just like her.

Even after emptying out all the excess cum, his balls were still heavier than before he churned her. She made them fatter and more potent than ever. He ran his hands over his shaft a few more times, twitching a few times from antlers to hooves at the sensitivity that came after cumming that hard. Then he sighed and closed his eyes more gently. The tension drained from his body as he took up residence in her bed. There really was nothing else to do but to enjoy his newly claimed territory, especially after using up so much energy to pleasure and cream the leopardess in her sleep. Or mostly in her sleep. Patting his balls, he gave the nonexistent feline one last sendoff, even if he was speaking only to himself.

"G'night, Mahiri. Always knew you'd be better as a load."
