Magic fingers [HQ] (Patreon)

Leto's eyes were hopping from person to person at the bar. The uneven Portuguese pavement under her feet, the plastic chair, the classic samba from the sixties being recreated right before her eyes by much younger musicians, and the rusty street lights from Copacabana made her sigh.

"Let me see if I got this right. You dreamt you were a dire wolf..."

"I was more like a werewolf... I reckon."

"And I was milking you and then feeding you with it... Continuously. But why?"

"More or less, yes, but I was human before I turned. The only remarkable things that I felt at first were a couple of teeth sharper than my usual self, but soon they were longer too, and I started to change. It took us a while until you found out how to delay the transformation. You even had a tome about that."

"A book on lycanthropy? Or on handling a horny bitch gone rogue?"

"Very funny." The waiter approached them and poured some beer into Shola's glass. Leto covered her glass with her hand.

"No, no... That was an evocative dream, Leto. It was... Picturesque. Thanks for sharing it. I'm flattered, to be frank."

"Flattered? Why? You were the one doing all the heavy lifting in the dream... And I was more like a burden, although I was also exhilarated."

"Well, it seems I am the only one apt to conduct your instincts, lady, for lack of a better word. About the burden thing... See these? Magic fingers." She said, making a series of finger gestures like an illusionist.

"Yeah. I know what you can do with those." She said, grinning. "Let's go with that interpretation, then. I just wish I had learned how to handle it earlier in my life. You never seem to lose it, Shola. I hate you sometimes. Most foolish things I've done were directly or indirectly related to losing control."

"True, but some of them must've brought the house down too. For good or bad, it's a portion of who you are. The instinct isn't intrinsically evil, Leto. It's not a vice. I have it too. We all do... But it can be fine-tuned, directed, but never eradicated." Shola touched Leto's leg with the tip of her middle finger. When they smooched, all eyes were on their faces, if any. Shola's mouth was next to Leto's ear a minute after that. "Can you feel it? It's this close to my fingertip, but I will not touch this delicious bulge inside your jeans. Not now, not here."

"Why? Please..." Leto groaned.

"It's up to us to leave these customers and pedestrians all out of this. We're in control, not them. They may even indulge themselves in the belief that we'll all enjoy it if you and I put on a little show, but they're not prepared. I know that for a fact. Besides, we're doing ourselves a favor..." Shola continued, getting her finger so close that the fabric of Leto's trousers was pulsating. "...By leaving it..." And also wet. "...For later."

Shola distanced herself from Leto, who gradually tried to get herself together. Shola licked her middle finger. "What did I tell you? Magic fingers."

Hello there, fellow futa lovers!

This painting came from an old sketch that I had, an idea of a scene between a wolf-like Leto and Iris, which I revisited and turned into a scene between Leto and Shola (given their recent story arc together, which makes much more sense). An anthro variation of Leto should have paws larger than average human hands or feet and a less feral face, but since this is a lycanthrope version of Leto, she can experience the full range of forms from human to wolf. There's room for plenty of shades of gray in between. I hope you like it! ;)

Now to a completely different subject. Some of you might've noticed a minor change in this post. I have received a couple of feedback forms from former patrons lately, and I saw that some of them found it hard to find (or access) their rewards (especially the dolphin tier). I admit I felt surprised because we've been using one of the simplest, most straightforward tools available: the post (which allows one to filter the posts containing their rewards). I know other ways to deliver benefits, like art packs (i.e., links to them, sent through direct messages, not posts). It wouldn't be hard to adopt those. Before considering such a change, however, I'd like to try this: I'll keep posting the paintings as usual (human person tier, dolphin tier, and dog tier), but I'll also add the same images as attachments to their respective posts (as well as any others from the tiers below it), making it easier to make personal copies. I've seen some good artists do this, so perhaps this will suffice. If not, I'll probably create a poll in the future to determine which format is preferred by everyone. What are your thoughts on this? Is there room for improvement? I'm usually happier when I know that you are happy as well. =^____^=

Enjoy!
