#4 of Reset

Another installment in the adventures or Luka and her mistress, Lady Rya. This time they are tasked by the local sheriff to remove the threat of a minotaur in the local park, as to how is left up to their discretion; though if Lady Rya has her way, Luka will probably end up doing something both ridiculous and embarrassing.


Luka awoke to the sound of distant knocking on the front door. With a sigh she hauled herself out of bed and silently cursed whoever had dared to visit at this early hour. She quickly dressed in the clothes Lady Rya had picked for her to wear this month: tight yoga pants and a girly tank top with "juicy" emblazoned across her bust. She sighed as she saw all her feminine curves being accentuated by her attire and shook her head before she left to go check on their guest. The knock came again as she entered the living room. "I'm coming!" She barked impatiently at the door. A moment later she opened the door, and to her surprise a police officer was standing there with an equally surprised look on his face.

"Jesus Rya, are you still fucking around with that reverse aging crap?" The man asked with a dissapointed tone.

Luka stared at him, confused. "Excuse me?" she asked.

"Wait, you're not Rya." The man said, "I'm sorry, who are you, Miss?" He asked in a forced official tone.

"I'm Luka." Luka said and cocked an eyebrow, "Who the hell are you?" She asked.

"Gary, ma'am." He said, "Brighton P.D. sheriff." He said. "Is Rya home?"

"She's probably gonna be asleep for another three hours." Luka explained, "How do you know her?"

"I try to know everyone in town." Gary explained, "Kinda hard to miss the only mage that lives here though."

"Interesting." Luka mused, "Mind telling me why you're looking for her?"

"I'd like to know your relation to her before I divulge that much." Gary said.

Luka shrugged and pulled her waistband down a few inches. Gary initially flinched, but once he saw the mark below her naval, he understood her meaning. "When I do need help with something supernatural happening in my town I usually just contact an appropriate mage to get them to deal with it, but right now I've got a problem that needs immediate action and there's no one else in a thirty five mile radius that has a chance of helping."

"And what's the problem?" Luka asked.

Gary sighed. "Minotaur rolled through town. This kind of thing wouldn't be problem for my friends, they just go erase some civilians' memories and it all blows over, but this guy just set up shop right in the park." He said.

Luka blinked slowly. "All right, Minotaur are real, moving on." She said, and shook her head, "What can Lady Rya do about it?" She asked.

"I was hoping to ask her that." Gary said, "I don't much care how its removed, I just need it gone before someone's dog gets gored over territory."

Luka nodded, "Might as well come inside then, I'll see what I can do about Lady Rya."

"I'd rather wait out here if its all the same to you." Gary said.

Luka shrugged and shut the door. She walked down the hall to her mistress' chambers and knocked loudly on the door.

"Luka It's not even six yet." Lady Rya groaned through the door.

"We have a customer here." Luka said.

"Tell them to come back." Lady Rya said.

"Guy says his name is Gary." Luka said.

There was a lot of shuffling noises from behind the door. A minute later Lady Rya opened the door. She had dressed quickly, and it showed. Lady Rya rushed past Luka and out into the living room. Luka followed as Lady Rya threw open the front door. "Gary!" She shouted excitedly.

Gary winced at her cry. "Miss Rya, I have a job for you." Gary said in an official tone.

"Go on." Lady Rya said in a sultry tone as she took a step forward.

"I, uh, we have a problem in the park." Gary stammered out, backing away from Lady Rya's advance until he hit the brick wall behind him.

"I see, so you need my help." Lady Rya said with a smile, "I do love helping, though if I may ask what's in it for me?" She asked in a teasing tone.

"I'm more than happy to pay your usual rate, ma'am." Gary said, now visibly uncomfortable.

"That sounds fine, but you know I could forget my fee if you did me something special." Lady Rya said with a grin as she traced a finger down Gary's chest, "One date and I do the job for free." She said.

"Err.' Gary stammered, "I can't exactly-" he stopped, then tried again, "It would be unprofessional of me to-" He tried and failed again to finish a sentence.

Luka stepped forward and pulled Lady Rya aside forcefully. Lady Rya pouted, but put up little resistance. Gary breathed a sigh of relief as Luka leaned close to her mistress' ear. "Look, I don't care if you want to get it in with the guy, you could probably still do that, but he's offering money and we really need that right now." Luka explained.

"Do we really need it that badly?" Lady Rya pleaded.

"We have enough cash for another week and a half and then we're bar-tending full time just to make rent." Luka warned.

Lady Rya sighed and looked up at Gary. "On second thought, cash will do just fine." She said through a forced smile.

"Thank you ma'am." Gary said as he visibly relaxed. "Has Miss Luka filled you in on the details yet?" He asked.

"Nope." Lady Rya said.

Gary sighed. "All right, so we have a-" He started, but stopped as Lady Rya held her hand up.

"Minotaur in the park." Lady Rya said, and turned to go inside. "We'll take care of it, dear." She said with a wink, then went inside.

Gary looked back and forth between Luka and the empty doorway. "You sure she's got it?" He asked Luka.

Luka shrugged. "She'll do something, that's about all I'm sure of."

Gary shook his head and started walking away. "Well, best of luck to you two." He said.

Luka nodded, and followed her mistress inside. A short walk later she joined Lady Rya in the lab. "So what's the plan?" Luka asked as she saw her mistress already had several potions brewing.

"The usual plan." Lady Rya said cheerfully as she worked.

"All right." Luka said, "What's the usual plan?" She asked.

"We set up a distraction, and I try something dumb." Lady Rya explained.

Luka blinked slowly. "And what's the dumb thing you're trying?" She asked.

"A banishment spell." Lady Rya said.

"You mean spacial magic?" Luka asked worriedly.

"Yep." Lady Rya said with a smile.

"That super elite school of magic whose mages are some of the highest paid people in our side of the world?" Luka asked.

"Yeah, why?" Lady Rya asked.

Luka blinked slowly as she tried to process her mistress' ambitions. "Sure, why not. don't blame me if things go tits up though." Luka said with a sigh.

"Wouldn't dream of it." Lady Rya said as she continued working undeterred. Another ten minuted of work left them with a leather satchel specifically built to carry glass vials filled to the brim with them. "All right, ready to go?" Lady Rya asked as she pulled two books from her the shelf. One of them Luka recognized as The Encyclopedia of Erotic Pleasures: An Ongoing Effort. The other Luka hadn't read before.

Luka yawned and stood up. "Ready as I'll ever be." She said.

Lady Rya led Luka out into the back alley and into town. A half hour's walk later, the two were walking through the city park. The park took up about a thirty acres, and was centered around a small pond. Around the pond was a carefully groomed hedge maze, and the rest of the park outside the maze was a large open field dotted with a few sparse trees. Walking paths wound around the field, and every hundred feet or so had a couple of benches to rest on. "Good thing its a weekday." Luka remarked as she looked over the other visitors to the park at this hour. Apart from an older couple sitting on a bench together nearby, there was only a mother playing with her child in the field a few hundred feet out, and a young couple enjoying a walk together on the other side of the park.

"Makes our work easier." Lady Rya said cheerfully.

"So what's the first step?" Luka asked.

"Reconnaissance." Lady Rya said.

"And how do we go about that?" Luka asked.

Lady Rya grinned as she pulled a vial full of purple liquid from her bag. "You're gonna be a squirrel!" She said excitedly.

Luka looked at the vial for a long time, then shook her head. "Sure, why not." She said.

Lady Rya led Luka inside the hedge maze and stopped once they were out of line of sight from outside. "All right, drink up." She said as she handed the vial to Luka.

Luka sighed as she unceremoniously uncorked the draft, then downed it. She winced as the taste of lemon mixed with spoiled milk filled her mouth. Luka began coughing as soon as she finished swallowing. "Do I want to know what the hell was in that?" She asked. She struggled to get the last few words out as she felt her mouth warping in shape. The world seemed to grow around her, as did her clothes as she felt her body transforming. As she shrunk she found herself buried inside the clothes she had been wearing as her body continued changing. Her size, now appropriate, Luka felt her skin shudder as she watched brown fur erupt from it like a wave. Luka heard herself chitter in discomfort as her limbs rearranged themselves and her chest became more barrel shaped. She felt a dull pain from her tailbone as additional vertebra sprouted and soon a full tail grew out from there. The whole process took about thirty seconds. When it was over Luka hauled her new body free of the pile of now empty clothes and looked herself over. She now had shiny chestnut colored fur and a long bushy tail that seemed to twitch back and forth on its own with little input from her. Satisfied with her cursory inventory of her new assets, Luka looked up at her now towering mistress.

"Now, you kept your intelligence and eyesight." Lady Rya seemed to boom down from above. "I'm going to extend my senses through you, so I'll see and hear everything you do."

Luka tried to ask for clarification on what she was supposed to do now, but only uttered a few short squeaks.

"I don't know exactly where our guest is hiding in here, so you're going to have to look around." Lady Rya explained. "I'll be here in the meantime, so when you find him come back and we'll start phase two."

Luka looked up at her mistress for a few moments longer before giving the best approximation of a shrug that her squirrel body could manage, then bounded off clumsily on her new legs as Lady Rya scooped her clothes up and stuffed them in her leather bag. Luka rounded the first turn only to find a fork in the path. She decided to go left and found another fork after a bit. Several dead ends later, Luka had grown used to her new body's motor functions and tired of the maze itself. She used her stature to her advantage and ducked under the bushes that made up the walls of the maze, and headed for what she thought was the center. She crossed over a few of the paths inside the maze, and shortly emerged on the outside. She looked out at the rest of the park and let out a frustrated chirp before she turned tail back into the maze. She crossed ten paths by her count before she emerged in a small clearing in what she assumed to be the center of the maze. A small pond was the centerpiece of the area, and was about forty feet across. Surrounding the glass-smooth waters of the pond was a twelve foot ring of tall grass which had a few benches dotted here and there. There was an entrance to the center from the north face of the maze's inner wall. Luka spent a few minutes investigating the area thoroughly, and found only a strange musky scent to show for her effort. She shook her head, undeterred, and ran back into the maze from its end point and began reverse-engineering the correct path from there. A few minutes into this process she came skidding to a halt as she rounded a corner and came face to tail with an enormous mountain of fur. The beast turned to see what had made the noise with an annoyed snort as Luka ducked under the nearest wall. Luka held as still as possible while her heart pounded in her tiny chest. A thick hoof slammed down near to where she had fled, and cracked the cobblestone that made up the path of the maze. A huge bovine snout came into Luka's view and sniffed the ground for a few seconds before it let out a short grunt and shambled in the direction Luka had come from; towards the center of the maze. Luka bounded out from cover the moment she lost sight of him and continued mapping out the maze as she tried to calm her nerves. It was about a half hour before she rounded a final corner and laid eyes on her mistress waiting back at the entrance they had come from.

Lady Rya let out a yawn and stretched as Luka ran up to her. She put down the sketchpad she had been drawing the maze out on as she watched Luka's progress. "Good work, dear, hop up." She said as she extended a hand out to the squirrel in front of her. Luka wasted no time and hopped up into Lady Rya's open palm. Lady Rya held the squirrel up to her face and placed a gentle kiss on the rodent's forehead.

Luka shuddered as she felt cool air against her skin. She looked over her body and saw her fur fall off in clumps as her body began growing back to its original size. Lady Rya set Luka back down on the path as she peeked out the entrance of the maze for possible witnesses. Luka in the meantime watched her limbs reshape into human arms and legs as claws retracted into fingernails. With one final shiver, Luka's body regained its feminine curves as her tail retreated back into her spine. "Can I have my clothes back now?" Luka pleaded as she tried to cover herself up. "It's cold."

Lady Rya giggled and dug the tank top and yoga pants out of her bag and handed them to her familiar. "He was certainly a big fellow." Lady Rya mused as she watched her partner dress.

"That thing nearly squished me." Luka muttered.

"That musk was something else too, certainly a virile specimen of his kind." Lady Rya said with a smile and a distant look.

"Is that really all you took from that adventure?" Luka asked with a sigh. "How do you even know it was a he?" She asked.

"The musk for one," Lady Rya said, "And while you weren't paying attention to it, I did sneak a peek between his legs from your vision."

"I only saw him for like a second." luka said, exasperated. "Don't tell me the whole reason I went in there was to check what was between its legs."

"Don't feel so bad about it Luka, we got a map of the maze out of it too." Lady Rya said with a smile.

Luka let out a frustrated sigh. "Alright, whatever." Luka mumbled, then shook her head. "So what's the plan now?"

"Now try not to get mad, but you're going to be the lady Minotaur and we're going to do a little role play." Lady Rya said.

"Why am I not surprised." Luka growled. "Why is it that I'm the only one that's ever the sex-bait in your plans? Do you just get off on watching me get fucked?" Luka asked as she barely held back her frustration.

"Well, yes I do." Lady Rya said with a smirk, "But that's just the icing on the cake. I'm more than happy to switch if you can manage a banishment spell in my place."

Luka stared at her mistress for a long time before she shook her head. "Fine, let's just get this over with." Luka sighed.

"Not just yet, we have to wait for night." Lady Rya said.

"Why night?" Luka asked.

"We're going to wake him up," Lady Rya explained, "He'll be more confused and easier to distract if he's unsure if he's dreaming or not."

"You know, that's the first thing I've heard come out your mouth approaching logic." Luka said, a little dumbfounded.

Lady Rya grinned, "I knew you'd see things like me eventually." She teased.

Luka groaned and shook her head. Lady Rya decided they should take a walk together to pass the day, and Luka decided she had nothing better to do. To the passerby, they looked like close friends or a couple. The park provided enough pathways to wander for them to be occupied well until sunset. In the meantime they kept an eye on the other park-goers to make sure they did not enter the maze. Luckily the day passed without any need to interfere, and by dusk most of the park had cleared out. Once again, they walked just inside the entrance to the maze.

"So how long until we go in?" Luka asked as she rubbed her arms to fight off the cooling air.

"I'd give it a couple hours." Lady Rya said. She didn't seem bothered by the cold at all despite wearing slightly less that Luka was.

Luka sighed and sat down on by the hedge wall to get out of the wind and pulled her knees up against her chest for warmth. Lady Rya meanwhile, was intently studying one of the books she had brought along to pass the time. The first hour brought true darkness to the park as the last of the other guests left to presumably go home. The next hour brought more chill to the air and the revelation of a new moon for the night.

"All right, we should be good now." Lady Rya said as she fumbled through the darkness towards Luka.

"Didn't you bring a flashlight or something?" Luka asked as she felt her mistress bump into her.

Lady Rya giggled and gave her partner a brief hug before letting go. "Don't want to risk waking him up." She said in a hushed tone, and took Luka's hand. Luka sighed and allowed herself to be led as Lady Rya felt them through the maze; presumably by memory, or at least Luka hoped. Realistically, Luka thought she was just as likely to get the lost in the near-total darkness as she was to find their destination. It was a half hour of silent stumbling before Lady Rya came to a halt and began digging through her bag.

"Are we at the center?" Luka whispered.

"Close enough." Lady Rya responded in kind as she slid a vial into each of her familiar's hands. "Take the right one, then wait about five seconds. After that slam the left one down as fast as you can." She instructed.

"Your right or mine?" Luka asked, confused.

"Yours, now hurry." Lady Rya ordered.

Luka sighed and did as instructed. The first draft tasted like hay. After she swallowed, Luka counted to five as she felt the world around her begin to shrink. On five, she dumped the other vial into her mouth and opened up her throat as she had been trained to; which let the mixture slide directly into her stomach. She didn't get a chance to taste this one, but was immediately wracked with a massive internal cramp. Luka doubled over as she felt the now familiar itch of fur growing in too fast as it covered her entire body. He muscles expanded dramatically and ripped through her clothes unimpeded as he legs reshaped themselves. Luka caught only a glimpse of her toes fusing together and forming hooves before the pain in her abdomen doubled and rolled her on her side. Luka felt a short but spry tail grow as her breasts reduced in proportional size, but remained apparent on her chest. With one final groan, Luka felt a her skull forcing its way through her scalp as dual horns grew out the size of her head and into her peripheral vision. After that, Luka's cramp released and left her with nothing but a burning itch in her groin. She blinked slowly and pulled herself onto her hooves; which took some stumbling to get used to. Luka took one last look over her new hairy body before looking down at her mistress.

"Now as I'm sure you can feel, you're in estrus right now." Lady Rya explained, "All you gotta do is show the fellow a good time; which will probably mean just doing what comes naturally in your state. Just leave the rest to me."

Luka snorted. She knew better than to try to talk now, and walked ahead as quietly as she could. On the way, she noticed her vision had noticeably improved with the transformation. She could by no means see clearly in the new moon, but she no longer had to feel her way around. A short while after, she emerged into the clearing and saw what she had come for laying on its back at the far side of the pond.

A stiff breeze managed to make its way through the hedges past her and across the water. Luka shivered, partly from the sudden chill, and partly from her body's response to seeing the male. As if on cue, the creature stirred in his sleep as Luka's scent presumably hit him. Luka heard a faint groan as something stirred between the male beast's legs. Luka found herself similarly affected by the smell of the male's chosen den. What had before smelled simply sour, now had an intoxicating effect on her. Against her better judgement, she found herself shifting forward inch by inch as her nostrils flared wider and led her to the source of the scent. The male slept on as she advanced, undisturbed sans the growing shape between his legs. Luka's thoughts fogged over and the next thing she knew she was kneeling between the sleeping male's legs with no memory of how she got there. Her heart pounded in her chest, but not from fear. She looked the male up and down, and saw he was only slightly larger than she was. Firm muscles stood out against its taunt skin, even while it was relaxed and Luka shuddered to think of just how strong the creature actually was. As her eyes drank his form in, her nethers dampened until she was dripping and her itch had turned into a fire. Luka dragged her eyes lower.as he breath came more rapidly. The male's penis was now fully erect as far as she could tell, though from her own scent or just a process of sleep she couldn't tell, nor did she really care. She took a moment to note the differences from a human member. It was far longer proportionally, and thinner, but was tapered at the tip and looked rock hard. The entire length was as red as the blood pumping into it, and it seemed to have come out of a soft furry sheath above is huge testes. Luka reached out slowly and cupped the things balls with one furry hand as she caught herself licking her lips. The beast groaned in its sleep as she worked the heavy globes over. Just one of the pair could fill her hand, and she found herself impressed by its size. Her other hand joined the first as she reached her neck forward. Luka felt her heart beat faster as she brought her lips close to the animal's throbbing tip and breathed hotly on it. A steady stream of pre ran down his length as her hands kneaded his balls. She wasted no more time and took him into her mouth to taste the clear fluid. A salty sweetness greeted her tongue, and almost instinctively she took him as deep into her mouth as she could. The beast jerked in its sleep and Luka shifted her gaze up to see he had awoken. Beady brown eyes stared at her disbelievingly in the dark, and Luka started slowly sucking up and down his length, silently daring him to stop her. Luka smiled around the cock in her mouth as she felt the thing's hand descend on the back of her head and push her down further; at least he was playing along. Luka worked her tongue around his shaft skillfully as the lucky animal filled her mouth with precum like a faucet. Luka continued like this for a few minutes and only occasionally had to suppress her gag reflex as the male pushed her too deep on his length. She was starting to marvel at his endurance when he pulled her off of his length to her surprise. She looked up at him confused for a second before her forced her onto her back with a thud, The tall grass cushioned her fall, and she briefly felt like she should be angry, but instead she realized her body was turned on by the dominant display. Timidly, she spread her legs and put herself on display for the creature, and she wasn't left waiting. The male only stopped to paw over her breasts briefly before lining his long shaft up with her proportionally small pussy and roughly rammed his length inside her. Luka groaned as she felt the fire inside her burn hotter at his intrusion. He began rutting her like the animal he was and Luka only barely registered the pain from being railed so hard over the rush of being taken so dominantly in her current state. She felt her legs wrap around the creature's waist, and drove him deeper inside her dripping slit as it rippled around him. Luka came suddenly and violently. She bucked wildly against her partner and bellowed involuntarily. The male seemed to be spurred on by her display and to her shock began fucking her even harder. Luka was forced into a second orgasm almost immediately from the brute force. Her eyes rolled back as she felt the ground shifting under her weight. She quivered weakly beneath the male as he literally fucked her into the dirt and soon he was bellowing along with her. Luka reacted quickly to his change of tone and mustered all the strength she had left into her legs and clamped down on his waist. The beast broke through her legs' grip easily, but despite that he seemed determined to give her what she wanted anyway; he was just going to get it on his terms. Luka gripped the grass around her weakly as she crested a third orgasm as the male dominating her reached his. The beast growled as it began unloading a huge torrent of cum into her womb; which quenched the fire burning inside her. Luka had to fight to remain conscious through her third massive orgasm; which quickly became a fourth as the beast somehow continued fucking her for what seemed an eternity as he emptied his balls into the sow before him. With a sigh, the beast finally withdrew from her as his seed rushed out of the transformed female in front of him. Luka twitched and gurgled as her brain tried to reboot.

A sudden shout drew both their attentions as a flash of bright light appeared above the lake a few dozen feet away. "Oh shit I missed." Lady Rya muttered as her position was given away. She had somehow been laying prone on top of a nearby hedge with an open book.

"Okay what the fuck Lady." The male Minotaur shouted as it stood up.

Confusion snapped Luka out of her afterglow as she scrambled to get upright.

"Are you some kind of voyeur or something?" The male asked as it folded its thick arms across its chest.

"Well yeah, but that's not why I'm here." Lady Rya stammered out.

"What the hell was that spell you tried to hit me with?" The male demanded.

"Now don't get mad it was just a little banishment spell." Lady Rya pleaded.

The male groaned and put its hand over its face. "Fucking hell," he growled, "I'm already homeless, this is just what I fucking need. Vigilante witches trying to get me more lost."

"It's not like that, Luka tell him!" Lady Rya said as she slid off the hedge and down to the ground. She jogged over to her dazed familiar and hid behind her.

"You know this psycho?" The Minotaur asked Luka.

Luka stammered for a few seconds as she tried and failed to put words together. A small kiss to her thigh broke her focus and suddenly the saw the world growing again as she quickly reverted to her normal form. "Well you see," She mumbled as the freezing night air hit her bare and sweaty skin. It was only now in her usual size that she could guess accurately how tall the creature actually was; a surprisingly short seven-foot-three.

"Oh my god I fucked a human." The male groaned.

"Relax, she's not really human." Lady Rya said in an attempt to calm him down.

"Listen chick, I will not relax until you tell me what the fuck you two are doing." The creature demanded.

Luka took a deep breath to steady her nerves. "We were hired to get you out of town." Luka explained, "The local police were aware of you and were worried it might cause a stir in the non-magical community or that you might hurt someone."

The Minotaur stared down at Luka, who still had a constant stream of cum running down her leg to the dirt below. "What's your name lady?" He asked.

"Luka." Luka said, "And this is my Mistress, Lady Rya." Lady Rya gave a little wave from behind Luka. "I'm her familiar."

The Minotaur blinked slowly before fixing his gaze on Lady Rya. "Hey witch, just what school do you study?" He asked.

"Carnal primarily, followed by polymorphism." Lady Rya explained.

"So let me get this straight." the Minotaur said, "You sent your living fuck-doll to distract me and tried to banish me with a spell outside your school all because some meter maid didn't understand that non-magical people can't even see Minotaur without help, and that we're classically a pretty docile race?"

"Fucking excuse me?" Luka barked as she finally snapped.

"Oh dear." Lady Rya muttered as she took a step back.

The Minotaur also took a step back as Luka marched towards him aggressively. "Just where do you get off calling me a fuck doll? You think I like the shit Lady Rya comes up with? She had to put me in estrus to get me to fuck you. Furthermore, what kind of sad lonely man wakes up to someone sucking him off and doesn't even bother to say hi? Who are you? Anything to clarify the situation? How fucking desperate do you have to be to wake up to a stranger wrapped around your dick and not wonder how or why she got there? Pretty fucking stupid, don't you think?" Luka shouted as she pointed a finger in his face.

"S-sorry." The Minotaur stammered out, taken aback by the sudden change in temperament from the woman in front of him.

"You better fucking be." Luka warned, "I hear you call me a fuck doll or anything like that again and I'll make you my sow after ripping your fucking balls out." She growled.

The Minotaur put his hands up defensively, "Understood," He said as he shrunk back, "I just thought a carnal mage would have the common sense to not let their familiar have sentience." He added as he looked over at Lady Rya, "Is she always like this?"

Lady Rya shrugged. "Only when you push her buttons." She said.

Luka took a deep breath as she regained her composure, or as much composure as she could manage as a fresh glob of cum oozed out of her. "Now that that's out of the way, what's your name?" Luka asked the Minotaur.

"Uh, Rod." He stammered out.

"All right Rod, we still have the problem of you living in a public park and tearing the place up." Luka explained, "And we still need to collect payment, so how do you propose we go about that?"

Rod thought for a moment quietly. "Well, I could just mosey on to the next town to get booted from, but this is the closest thing to a home I've found in months." He explained, "If you really need me gone though, I guess I have no real right to stay here either."

Luka was taken aback by his response.

"You could stay at our place!" Lady Rya interjected excitedly.

"What? No!" Luka sputtered out, "Where would we fit him?"

"He could stay in storage, we have enough space there." Lady Rya explained.

"You two would really let me stay?" Rod asked.

"Not for free we wouldn't" Luka snipped.

"Well of course not for free." Rod stammered.

"Here's what we'll do," Lady Rya started, "You can crash in our storage room until you find a suitable place of your own, in the meantime you can help Luka around the house and run errands for us."

"You can't be serious." Luka pleaded, "What about the smell?"

"Look lady, my musk is only so strong because I haven't had soap to bathe with in months." Rod said defensively, "Besides you were more than fine with it a few minutes ago."

"That's because I was a fucking cow!" Luka barked defensively.

"Luka, be polite to our guest." Lady Rya ordered.

"Sorry mistress." Luka said quietly and turned away as her face turned red.

"The offer's on the table, you're more than welcome to stay as long as you lend a hand." Lady Rya said with a smile.

"I'm a little hesitant to agree to anything a carnal witch says, but you're the first person to be genuinely nice to me in years if you ignore the whole banishing spell." Rod explained. "I'll accept." He said.

Luka groaned, and Lady Rya beamed. After a more thorough introduction, the three set out for their now shared home. A few days Later, Rod was settled in and Luka was back into her normal pattern for mornings; though this morning held a few surprises for her.

"Luka, you slut." A familiar voice teased as Luka entered the lab. Once again, Lady Rya's favorite book was left open on her desk.

Luka shook her head and tried to ignore it as she went about her morning chores.

"I had no idea you were so depraved, just what won't you do to get a hot load inside you?" The book taunted from the desk.

Luka paused as a realization dawned on her. "You cheeky fuck." She muttered as she looked over to her mistress' desk.

"Lady Rya brought me along to get an entry on Minotaur coupling, but ooh la la it was like a dream come true, I got to see Luka get fucked senseless by a big strong bull man." The book tittered.

Luka marched resolutely towards the desk as her cheeks began to heat up.

"Better yet, you can't deny how much you loved it, I was in your head the whole time!" It added gleefully.

Luka picked the book up with trembling hands, and barely resisted the urge to pitch it at the wall. "You're about three seconds from finding out if you can swim you little shit." She growled.

"I know you wouldn't risk upsetting your mistress." The book taunted, sure of itself. Luka remained silent. "Now about that musk fetish you just discovered-" It began, but was cut off as Luka slammed it shut. She returned it to the shelf as calmly as she could and resumed cleaning until a knock at the door distracted her from her pent up rage. She walked out to the living room, glad to have an excuse to be out of that book's range, and was not surprised to see Officer Gary at the door when she answered it.

"Ah, Miss Luka." He said cheerfully, "Good morning."

"Morning Gary, I assume you're here with payment?" Luka asked.

Gary nodded and handed her a thick envelope. "A couple grand cash, not much for you but a pain in the ass for my wages." He explained. "I just wanted to thank you for taking care of the Minotaur as quickly as you did."

Luka nodded, and then looked up as a clopping sound rounded the corner, unnoticed by Gary. "Methods aside, Lady Rya gets things done." Luka remarked.

"I had to see it to believe it." Gary said, "You aren't kidding." He added, then froze as he felt a presence behind him.

"S'cuse me, sir." Rod said with an armful of cardboard boxes.

Gary turned around slowly, then went white as a sheet when he saw the towering figure behind him.

"Oh hey Rod, Lady Rya has you up early too it seems." Luka remarked as she stepped aside and held the door open for him, then prompted Gary to do the same.

Gary slowly inched out of the way as he started breathing rapidly.

"Thank you. She insists the freshest ingredients are only available when the market opens; though you shove them on a shelf for months anyway so I don't see the point." Rod said, "I'm not gonna argue with the landlady though." He added with a chuckle as he walked inside.

Luka smiled and turned to Gary. "As I said, methods aside." She said.

"Right." Gary said nervously as he tried to compose himself. "Y-you have a nice day." He stammered out as he turned to leave.

"You too." Luka said, and headed back inside with the money that would with any luck keep them going for another month.
