Claire's Petshop

Author's Note: Sorry to be such a tease with this chapter, but it would have been too long and I'm trying to keep to a consistent chapter length for both my stories. I work a full time job (116 hours on my last paycheque) and I write in what little spare time I have. I hope you can forgive me for teasing you all so horribly with this chapter.

Claire woke up and felt a million times better. As loathe as she had been to admit it to Penny, Nyx had worn her out completely when he claimed her. Waking up in the luxurious bed in one of their recovery rooms was incredible. She'd fantasised about exactly this situation for years, and now that she bought the place from Penny, she could get to experience this as much as she wanted.

One thing she wasn't looking forward to was having to clean the linens. Nyx's contact aphrodisiac had kept her tight slit dripping for most of the time she was sleeping. A veritable puddle had soaked her skirt and sheets. She could use another shower and a drink of water about now.

Getting up from bed, she quickly stripped and rinsed off. This time she was able to put her panties on without risking cumming, still sensitive down there but not nearly as bad as before her nap. She ditched the soaked skirt for the time being. She grabbed a bottle of water from the mini fridge and chugged it on her way to the door, giving herself a brain freeze.

"Guhh..." She chided herself, holding her forehead as she waited for the headache to pass. "that was dumb."

After changing the sheets on her bed, she made her way out of the recovery room into the waiting area outside and over to one of the cabinets, where she grabbed another skirt. She quickly put it on before making her way out to the front of the store.

Penny was behind the counter helping a customer. A pile of prescription food for their fire newt and some fireproof toys being rung up as she made her way behind the counter. She took out a green store apron with "Penny's Pet Parlour" on the front in purple font with their logo, quickly putting it on and tying it before helping Penny bag their items.

"The total is one gold, fifty four silver, and thirty four copper. Cash or card?" Penny rattled off with her customer service voice. Claire didn't recognise this customer, but she smiled at her as she helped bag her items. She pulled out her bank card from her bra and touched it to the tile next to the till. The magical inscriptions on the card illuminating with a soft white glow as the soul-bound item authorised the payment.

"Thank you for choosing Penny's Pet Parlour, have a great day!" Penny said with a smile as she handed the bags to the customer.

"Thank you, Flint is doing so much better after we started him on this new formula. And you're so much cheaper here than my regular vet! See you in a few weeks!" She said, smiling as she grabbed her things and headed for the door.

After she left, Penny glared at Claire with a squint, crossing her arms in front of her prodigious chest.

Claire studiously ignored Penny, restocking and facing the items near the till as she pretended not to notice the gaze burning a hole in her head.

Penny shook her head. "If you're not going to ask I'll just say it. You slept for almost the entire day. Thank the Gods Mondays are slow for us, or I would be having a few more stern words with you, Ms. Starling"

Claire flushed crimson. Her first day as the new owner and she had completely fucked it up by missing almost the entire thing, making her friend run the place while she snoozed.

Looking away, she nervously cleared her throat. "...I'll make it up to you Penny. Promise. My eyes were bigger than my stomach I guess."

Penny snorted. "Eyes?"

"Stop beating a dead horse!

Yes

, I fucked up! It won't happen again." Claire said in a huff, moving towards the shelves to start facing and restocking product. Penny left her to it as she dropped excess cash from the till into a magically enchanted drop safe under the counter. Claire was moving slower than she usually did, her gravid stomach making restocking anything except the middle shelves a bit of a pain.

"So, how are you feeling? If you're sore I can give you the ointment I normally use." Penny said absently from behind the till, not even looking up.

"No, I'm fine... The eggs are heavy is all. My body will adjust eventually. It'll just take a little getting used to." She rested to catch her breath for a while after moving a couple of bags of kibble.

"You shouldn't be moving heavy things when you're gravid like that. Despite how much I've already done for you today, I can do that for you as well." Penny said with a smirk.

Claire shot her a glare which only resulted in Penny smiling wider.

"Ok, ok... I'll drop it. So, when are you planning on sterilising the eggs you're carrying? We could do that today if you're feeling up to it?"

Surprised, Claire paused, she could feel her cheeks flush as a bloom of heat instantly appeared between her thighs.

Penny's already offering to help her sterilise them? It must be a trick question since she's been riding my ass all day because of Nyx.

"I only ask because the best time to do it is within 24 hours of becoming a broodmare. Your cervix will have an easier time dealing with it, and the eggs are still starting to develop. You'll have the highest yield of hatchlings if you do it before you go home." Penny added, seeming to read her mind.

"...fine... after we close we can do it." Claire said, doing her best not to let her voice waver and betray just how nervous she was at the concept of having her clutch sterilised. Although, for some reason she was more nervous about being a mess in front of Penny again.

"Great! We'll be closing in about an hour so how 'bout you run the shop for me while I go home and grab Toby?"

"Sure, sounds good." Claire said as the butterflies in her stomach fought for elbow room with the brood stuffed inside her. She shifted awkwardly, her thighs rubbing together. She could feel her brand new panties already soaked at the thought of being with Toby.

Penny smiled. "You don't have to be so nervous. You get bonus points for not instantly offering to do it, though. At least pretending to be responsible is a step in the right direction." She said with a chuckle.

"Screw you." Claire said as her crimson cheeks puffed out in protest.

"yeah, yeah. Pretend to be mad. We'll see how long that lasts when you're underneath Toby."

Claire bit her lower lip despite herself, making Penny laugh again when she saw it.

"Don't worry, I'll be there to help you through it. I know how much you've wanted this as well." Penny said as she took her apron off. "I won't be long. By the way, I did a fresh load of laundry, so your clothes are in the drier." She said over her shoulder as she walked towards the back door.

"Thanks Penny. You're the best."

"You're welcome. I'll be back soon with Toby!" Penny said as she walked out the back.

Alone in the shop, Claire faced items and restocked shelves on autopilot. No new customers showed up. It was almost 8 pm, most customers having grabbed their things after work or on their lunch breaks. She squeezed her thighs together again, the feeling of walking around the store in a soaked pair of panties just turning her on more.

"I hope she doesn't take too long..."

After waiting what felt like forever, Claire closed up the store and cashed out the till. Even with how slow Mondays were they still made a decent amount of money.

All too soon, Claire heard the sound of the back door opening and the clatter of claws on tile as a blue streak bolted into the store, pouncing on her and licking her face.

"Ewww! Gross! Toby, quit it!" She protested as the Vulpine Hound slobbered all over her face with his fat tongue. She could see flashes of red between his legs, the hound quickly growing aroused above her prone form.

"Toby! Off!" Penny's stern voice making the hound reluctantly jump off of Claire, trotting over to his owner for ear scritches. At least he was well trained when he wanted to be...

Vulpine hounds were a magical mix of foxes and wolves domesticated from their ancestors the Vulpine Wolves. They weren't truly related to either wolves or foxes, yet looked like a mix of both creatures in one with their long fox-like snouts and pointed ears. Their tails and personality were similar to a dog's, however. They were loyal pets and were quite intelligent, about as smart as an adult human, just mostly ruled by their instincts.

Toby was large, coming up to her bellybutton with medium length magically reflective blue fur. Bright yellow eyes looked up at her as his thick fluffy tail wagged hard enough to threaten the cans of cat food near him.

"Almost done? Toby's a bit pent up, so if you don't want him to push you over and mount you, then you better finish closing quickly. He can smell your eggs, you know."

Claire bit her lip as she almost considered letting Toby do what he wanted with her right here and now when Penny flicked her forehead taking her out of her thoughts.

"

No

! Bad Claire! I know what you're thinking in that dirty little mind of yours!" Penny scolded her.

Claire absently nodded, still thinking about what Toby was going to do to her in the not too distant future. She swallowed as she got back to closing out the store, finished in record time. Taking her apron off and heading towards the comfort beast area without another word, Penny chuckled as she and Toby following close behind.

Taking the usual room that Penny used just past the waiting area, Claire began stripping out of her clothes throwing them in the corner. Toby knew what was happening and would have already pushed her over if Penny didn't have a sturdy grip on his collar, the hound already lunging at her.

"You don't have to be nervous. I know this'll be your first time with him, and you know how rough he can be. He won't hurt you, so just enjoy yourself." Penny said, fighting to keep Toby from breaking free. She had already wrapped up his paws with cloth bandages while she was closing to keep his claws from scratching her. Claire shivered at the sight, her eyes locking on to the red length slowly growing between Toby's legs.

He was

big

. She knew he was big from helping Penny do this. It was different now, though.

She

was the one who was going to have to take all of that.

Closing her eyes, Claire took a calming breath to steady herself before turning away from Toby. She got on top of the wedge shaped memory foam pillow that was made specially for this as she got on her hands and knees, the pillow supporting her hips and a depression in the pillow supporting her gravid womb as it shifted in pressure inside her. She shivered in the cold air as she spread her legs, arching her back slightly and rolling her hips up, hopefully making it easier for Toby to mount her, as she presented her pussy to the Vulpine hound. Her legs shook from nerves and anticipation.
