"There ya go," Benny offered in a nurturing tone when he felt the human start to relax.  The panic seemed to be ebbing out of the young man as if he was slowly letting go of the tension.  

"You like this," he gently prodded once he realized that Scott wasn't about to start a fight and instead acted like he wanted more.  "You ever been touched like this?"  

"It's only natural to want to run," he shrugged his shoulders and his hands moved lower over the expanse of the hunter's back.  "Hell, Sups run from other Sups when there's danger.  You ever seen a pissed off harpy flying at you with their talons out?"  Benny let out a rueful sound that might have been a chuckle if it didn't sound so angry.  "Ran and jump off a cliff to keep from getting my heart ripped out.  And if anyone tells you they didn't, they're lyin' 'cause they alive." 

He looked down at Scott's body with a good layer of fat to help the whelps grow.  "I think you look beautiful like that.  You're full of life.  Sorta like one of the legendary goddess that birth the universe."  He took a bold step and reached around to the hunter's belly and gently squeezed the extra flesh before he rubbed his warm hands over the stretched skin in what he hoped Scott thought he was comforting gesture.  "It's not sympathy I'm expressing.  I understand it.  Not the being bred part I mean."  His left hand drifted a bit to low and his fingers brushed against the tip of Scott's cock.  Seeing that Scott didn't punch him in the face or try to fight him off, he gently moved his fingers right and left over the tip.  "You're remarkable like this.  How can you hate that."  

Benny just let his hands wonder over Scott not really trying to seduce the hunter but trying to learn that man's body.  Even under the fat layer, he could feel the strong muscles.  There was a tremble in them like Scott had some huge secret but Benny wouldn't press for that right now.  He believed that in time, Scott would tell him whatever he wanted to know.    

Benny chuckled at the question.  Here he was in naked in the communal shower of his bar having something of a heart to heart with a hunter.  "If I shift in here, boy, you won't have any space.  Jared, the body guard, he can shift into pretty much any large legged creature - horse, giraffe, deer, bear, elk, hell I saw him shift into a moose once.  If you need something like that, Jared can do it.  Some shifters keep close to humans.  They're the cats and dogs, guinea pigs, squirrels."  

He shook his head and chastised himself for giving up shifter secrets so easily.  "Damn it.  Now you'll know where to look.  Shit!"
