Fluttershy breathed in deeply as she measured out the last of the dog food. They were supposedly going to get some donated from a local store soon, but if that soon didn’t become tomorrow, they would probably need to dip into their own pockets, as they barely had enough to keep the old place. One of the dogs soon disrupted her thoughts as it barreled her over. She giggled as it pawed over her, and started eating from one of the dishes.

“Now, Miss Fluttershy, you know that it’s wrong to fraternize with our guests.”

Fluttershy blushed deeply, especially when she opened her eyes and saw a certain part of the dog was over her while it ate. She let out a small squeal before her boss helped the dog move away from her, freeing the trapped woman. She gladly took his smooth hand, and blushed even more when he pulled her into a hug, just like so many times before. “S-sorry, Mr. Cros.”

A quick step away put distance between her and the admittedly attractive, middle aged man. If not for his scruffy, graying beard that he now stroked, one would think he was in his mid thirties instead of nearing his latter fifties. Age had done him well though, as he stood almost a foot taller than Fluttershy in a fine, italian suit, and his brown, slicked back hair framed a strong, angular face. His yellow eyes glinted as he smiled and pat her on the head. “I just wish my heart didn’t jump anytime I saw you in such a position. Luckily, our dogs are neutered, so my fears will never come true.”

Fluttershy was almost the shade of a stop sign as she stammered. While she enjoyed working with her boss and knew his mind was one of the best she had ever seen, it unfortunately was also one of the more… distressing, especially with the lack of censorship he used around the workplace. “Y-yes, that is quite good to hear.”

Mr. Cros nodded before turning back to the door. “Once you’re done out here, I want you to get Angel and meet me in my office. Understand?”

As soon as she nodded, he left her alone with the dogs. Fluttershy swallowed hard before beginning to put the dishes on the ground, making sure each dog at least had a chance to get some food. While she watched, her thoughts turned to why he might want her and Angel, especially the Angel bit. Mr. Cros and the little bunny didn’t exactly get along most of the time, which was a real shame to her. She loved the little bunny, and if her dad weren’t allergic, she would have brought him home years ago.

Soon, she herself was swiftly slipping through the halls of the shelter, her backpack bouncing slightly as she moved. She tried to wave to as many of the puppies, kittens, ferrets, and the like as she could, but she hated making her boss waiting any longer than was necessary. She only hoped that Angel wasn’t going to be too angry with her for the turbulent movements.

The moment she stepped into the main office, normally a warm sight with its antique, wooden desk, chairs, and drawers, she saw only white. Fluttershy stepped back before throwing her hands over her eyes, a small gasp escaping her, especially once she felt her back hit the wall. Her eyes were still fuzzy when she heard Mr. Cros’s voice. “Well, looks like it’s a good thing I won’t be using that camera.”

She tried looking through her fingers, spots still forming in her sight as she furiously blinked. Fluttershy did think she saw a beret on her boss’s head as he was pulling out some sort of large brick. “Wh-what are you talking about, Ssir?”

He didn’t respond to her, but instead placed a cool, soothing hand over her eyes, causing the shy woman to jump slightly. When he pulled his hand away, she no longer saw spots, but instead his beautiful, yellow eyes and a gleaming smile. She swallowed hard, her heart feeling like it was going to burst out of her chest as she looked around for anything to talk about. One look at the large, film style camera in his hands, and she had that. “Wh-what is that?”

He lifted it up, his grin only growing large as he didn’t move away. “It’s from my days as an artist! I thought that since we need more money and more adoptions, we could start one of those web page… thingys, with our animals on display. I couldn’t think of even better accompaniment though...,” he placed a hand on the side of Fluttershy’s cheek, her whole body getting goosebumps as the playfulness left his tone and he stated, “...than you.”

“I… I’m really not good for something like this. I’m too nervous, scared-”

“-Meak, brittle, etcetera etcetera.” Mr. Cros’s hand moved to her chin, and she was forced to meet his eyes, their faces only centimeters from each other now. “You’re also one of the most beautiful girls in this town, if not country, and care for these animals like few others will ever be capable of. I do not know anyone else I would want to help me because of that.”

Fluttershy’s whole body trembled as her red cheeks burned like suns. “Yo-You’re not supposed to lie sir.”

He opened his mouth, before seeming to only now take notice of her discomfort, and stepped back. “If that is what makes you most comfortable, than I will apologize about your looks. However, do you really think I’m wrong about the animals?”

She glanced to him, holding her shoulder as she thought. “N-no?”

“No, I’m not, and that emotion is important. So, please...,” he lifted the camera to his eyes, “... can you bring out Angel and try one, innocent picture?”

Fluttershy took in a deep, shaking breath. She knew a website really could help them, and while all of this scared her to an amazing degree, it was a good way to get the revenue they needed. Her body trembled as she flipped her backpack around and slowly pulled out her little, miffed rabbit, having barely escaped crushing because Fluttershy couldn’t do that to him. She then slid him in front of the camera, where the small rabbits nose twitched, and she tried to smile.

This lasted all of a second once Mr. Cros brought the camera up.

The flash went off right after Fluttershy moved her hands up. Looking to the picture he got, Mr. Cros frowned. Fluttershy saw the picture next, and blushed hard. While she had managed to cover her face like she had hoped, her heaving bosom and tender thighs were on full display as her knees buckled, and her arms pushed her breasts out. “So-sorry, Ssir.”

Mr. Cros sighed to himself as he stepped away. After a few minutes of quiet silence, the man reached into his desk. “Tell me, do you wish you could help me in this?, Cause pictures like that aren’t for the public’s view, not for a cause like ours.”

A blush came over her cheeks, but not for the mention of the photo. She truly did want to help her animals, but it was the same thing that had stopped her so many times before that stopped her now. It had almost cost her her job when she first got here even..., but the owner then had been willing to take her, and Mr. Cros kept her when he came into owning the building a few months ago. “I… I do. I truly do.”

“Then, I want you to eat one of these...,” he said as he placed a thin, white box into her hand, “...every day. They’ll cause you to start becoming less worried, less shy, and more confident in your actions and body. This may make you a bit looser about what may show, such as being able to show cleavage and all, but if by the end of the week, you don’t like what it has done to you..., we’ll have all the pictures we need, and I can get the effects reversed.”

Fluttershy blinked as she looked within and saw five, white chocolate rabbits, her favorite. “That… that’s a lot to take in. What do you mean?”

He took in a deep breath, before shaking his head. “I suppose I just shouldn’t do a sales pitch for this one.” Cros looked her dead in the eyes, not even flinching as he said, “It will make you more confident by making you sluttier.”

Fluttershy’s eyes widened before felt Angel jump out of her other hand, now allowing her to cover her mouth. “S-sir, you know that… that, um, uh-”

“That you would never be okay with that, even if I told you that you could still say no, or that I could reverse it. I just had to try, okay?” He shook his head for a moment. “I’ll just look for another model thean. She may not be as good as you, but they’ll have to do.”

She watched him for a few more moments as he slipped into his chair and began clicking and typing. He seemed genuinely sad about this, even if it was a ludicrous idea. She could never be slutty by any means, let alone let a candy do it to her. She was simply too scared, even to put her face on the internet. She shut her eyes at that one, and let her mind drift away from the failure, but instead to the sweeter words about her looks and devotion. A light bulb turned on as she heard him in her mind, and she cleared her throat. “Cros, sir?”

He glanced over to her. “Yes?”

“Wh-what do you think of my shyness?”

He spun his chair over, now looking at her. He scratched his chin, before rattling on the desk that he had brought with him when he took over the shelter. “Well, I find it cute, and completely you. It’s so much you that I doubt a year on that candy would make a guy be able to grope you and get you into bed, just because you would run from the groping. You’re a shy girl, and I like that, or else I would have never hired you.”

Fluttershy stood there for a few moments. She couldn’t believe how he had said it. It was obviously a compliment, but her natural response was to blush and hide from it, all because he had also gone secual with it. That was the last straw.

With a flick of the wrist, she grabbed the first bunny, and threw it into her mouth. She then stamped her foot down and barely squeaked out, “I… I’ll do the website.”

Mr. Cros looked over, before smiling ever so slightly, showing a long, hooked fang that peaked out from beneath his top lip. “That’s wonderful. We’ll start tomorrow.”
