Once alone with Ringo and Kai, Ushida was as mischievous as always. “You know, I didn’t think I’d be getting two bodyguards.” Her legs playfully dangled from her tall bed.

Kai was quick to reply. “I apologize, please allow me to re-explain. Ringo is filling in for me if I’m ever unable to act. If he is not needed, he can go home.”

“Yes, I know that. What I’m saying is, I want to get to know him better.”

Kai saw no reason to object. “Very well. I trust Ringo to act in my place. Actually, Ringo, you came unprepared. If you like, I can return to our dorm, and gather your things.”

Ringo agreed, and so, Kai set off on the path back to the dorm.

“I can call for a horse, to make the journey easier,” Ushida offered.

“No need.”

And yet, sitting upright on one of the castle’s fences was undeniably Matt, the Half-Dragon. This time, he appeared in the form of a horse.

Kai reacted appropriately. “It’s Matt, the Half-Dragon! And he has shapeshifted into a horse!”

“Hullo.”

“Did Ushida send you?”

“Meybe.”

The two began walking down the same path, side-by-side. Matt was first to begin with small talk. “So, Ushida has a new bodyguard?”

“A backup bodyguard. I trust him to act on my behalf if I am unable.”

“And they’re currently getting to know each other, one-on-one?”

“Yes, that is correct.”

“Any idea how… Personally they will get to know each other?”

“No, and as long as he obeys the rules, that is their business.”

“So they may do something unsavory, and you aren’t going to stop it?”

Kai was pensive. “I mean, Ringo breaks the code of conduct all the time. And Ushida isn’t supposed to have this… Lifestyle. But it is what it is. And I trust them both, so…”

“Do you trust them more than me?” Matt smiled, a bit strangely as a horse.

“If Ushida trusts you, that means I must trust you.”

—

“You know, Kai really trusts me,” said Ringo. He was facing a wall, while Ushida changed into a new outfit.

“I trust Kai, too. And if Kai trusts you, that means I trust you.” She fluffed her skirt. “So, can I trust you to give me an opinion of this outfit?”

Ringo carefully turned around, his head down. His eyes slowly guided up, cautious to take in Ushida with respect. ‘It’s what Kai would want me to do,’ he thought. ‘The bastard. I’m so mad at him.’

She was wearing a pink dress. The skirt on it was very poofy and the top half a corset. Ushida provided additional commentary. “This fit me perfectly last week, but my boobs have been growing a lot lately. Do you think this still fits?” She bent forward and Ringo could see the flesh of her breasts overflowing the tops of the corset.

Ringo bit his lip. “If your movements aren’t restricted and it covers what you want, I would, I would say it still fits.”

“You know, I’ve been trying to induce lactation lately.” Ushida led the way from the room and Ringo didn’t ask where they were going. “I’ve been taking supplements, and every day I pump my breasts.”

Ringo nodded. Ushida continued. “Most of my younger sisters have already started on their own. I’m overdue to start making milk. But nothing’s happening.” She trotted down a staircase and opened a door.

Ringo wanted to reassure Ushida, but he wasn’t sure what would be appropriate to say. The top 5 comments that came to his mind were undeniably and embarrassingly sexual.

They entered the room at the bottom of the staircase, and at first glance it looked like an upscale spa. In the center were rows of plush chairs, fitted for different species, each one with industry-grade lactation pumps. Ushida took one of the smaller seats, but it was big enough for two humans to comfortably sit together.

“Do you mind staying here while I pump myself?” She pat the empty space next in her oversized seat, signaling for Ringo to sit next to her.

Ringo said he didn’t mind, while mentally and violently cursing Kai.

“Thanks. It’ll be nice having you and Kai around, I get so bored when I’m in the castle for too long” Ushida hefted her breasts out of the corseted dress and attached them to the pump. Ringo’s eyes nervously surveyed the area. They were alone.

“If you want to look, it’s fine. A bodyguard is an extension of the person they’re protecting, so there’s no shame in seeing me naked, right?”

Right.

“You should familiarize yourself with the pumping mechanisms as well. I’m going to do this after every meal, until I can start making milk on my own.” She explained the different mechanisms of the breast pump. Ringo nodded along half listening while his own thoughts competed for attention.

“If you like, you can hold onto my breasts while they’re being pumped.”

“I guess, if you’re asking that of me…”

“I am! I insist!” She looked directly at Ringo. “There’s nothing wrong with it. Please do this.”

“Nothing wrong with it, but I would hate to hurt Kai.”

“Honestly, me too. He’s too good for his own good.”

They went back and forth, and finally agreed, yes, it was okay for Ringo to do this. Ringo slipped a hand under each breast, and instantly the space between each of his fingers overflowed with her flesh. Ushida held back a moan. “Go ahead and massage them,” she offered.

“There’s nothing wrong with that, right? This isn’t some test?” asked Ringo.

Again, they lightly debated and rationalized their actions. With each step, one would reassure the other “There’s nothing wrong with this!” before reflecting on how Kai could possibly be hurt by their actions (their actions that, they agreed, were completely sanctioned and safe). The two continued to escalate the breast-play until Ushida was begging Ringo to suckle on her.

“Wait, I don’t know. As a bodyguard, I’m an extension of yourself. If I start sucking on you, that’s something you can’t do yourself, right?”

“What? Yes I can.” Ushida removed herself from the milk pump and effortlessly put one of her nipples in her mouth. “See? It’s easy at my size.”

“I’m sorry, I’m having trouble handling all of this…”

“That’s fine.”

Ringo wasn’t sure if he was being tricked. Was he going to be fired if he made a further move? Was Kai waiting in the background for him to mess up? ‘Hahaha, you thought that I left, I was actually lurking in the background! WAITING for you to mess up!’

No, wait. Kai wouldn’t do that. If he did, he would’ve written it in his schedule. And Kai was back to sharing his schedule with Ringo now that they were working together again.

“Princess Ushida, if I break the rules, is it better or worse if I do them in the castle, or outside of the Cow Kingdom?”

“It’s far worse if you disappoint me now.” She made eye contact with Ringo. Her hands smoothed over his face, and she went in for a longing, passionate kiss, bringing his face to her level.

Ringo reciprocated the kiss while his hands slid over her figure, before stopping. “So we agree, there’s nothing wrong with this.”

“Yes. That’s correct. There’s nothing wrong with this. Even if-“

They both came to the conclusion. “Even if this would break Kai’s heart.”

A pause. “So, we shouldn’t, should we…”

Ushida adjusted her fallen corset on her lap. Ringo continued. “I’m pretty much his only friend. So if I do this, to you, his favorite member of the Royal Family… I don’t know how he’d take it.”

“Yeah… I understand. Everyone has their own boundaries. If this goes too far, it might cross a line for him.”

“I mean, most people wouldn’t want their best friend to fuck their boss or favorite pop idol. That’s a pretty strict line.”

Ushida agreed. “Kai’s lines are stricter than most. He takes the Knighthood’s morality code stricter than anyone I’ve ever seen.”

“And part of that morality code explicitly states that a bodyguard acts as an extension of the person they’re protecting. So…”

“Maybe I can still get you to suckle on me. I suckled on myself, right?”

“So there’s nothing wrong with that.” And suddenly, their Kai-based guilt disappeared, replaced by a recharged sexual desire.

Ushida sat back in the same oversized recliner, fully removing her corset. “Yup, there’s nothing wrong with that. You even showed me, this is something you can do yourself.” Ringo was a bit nervous as he positioned himself. He had never been this close with a woman before. Ushida led the way, positioning her nipple into Ringo’s mouth. He understood, and began rhythmically suckling. His hands warmed into the abundance of breast tissue, and then… he stopped.

“We really shouldn’t.”

“Yeah… I was thinking the same thing.” Ushida moved to get Ringo off her lap and started to fasten her dress. Ringo, rejected, sat next to her in silence while Ushida made herself decent.

Once she was fully dressed, Ringo stood and spoke up. “But if we both know we shouldn’t, that means we’re compatible, right?”

“That’s true. It’s rare to find someone who agrees with you on niche issues, so it’d be a waste to not take this opportunity.” Ushida began stroking Ringo’s clothed erection. They went back and forth, agreeing, nodding, reasoning that what they were about to do was completely justified as Ringo’s pants slowly became undone.

And, as Ushida was about to give Ringo his first paizuri-

“If Kai saw us, he’d be so disappointed.”

“Dammit, you’re right.”

After repeating this cycle five more times, Ushida realized that her sisters were due to come in for their milking. She and Ringo left and as they returned, Ringo did what he could to hid his thick erection behind Ushida without touching her with it.

Meanwhile, Kai and Matt continued on their path.

Matt asked, “So, you’d be fine if something happened between the two of them?”

“It is what it is.”
