Maria accepts Wynn's offer.

It wasn't really a choice. Maria could wander the streets looking for some hope at a way home or she could accept a job and a home. She said yes without much hesitation.

Wynn's farm turned out not to be too far from the city, it had taken twenty minutes to reach the city walls and from there about an hour to reach Wynn's farm. It was far enough that the smells and sights of the city had vanished under fields of a deep blood red that blotted the world out to the edges of the now violet night sky hanging above them all as the last trickling beams of the deep scarlet sun scattered in small beams across the fields. Still the farm was close enough that Maria could imagine making weekly or bi-weekly trips to the market to sell what was harvested from the fields or the animals.

Wynn showed Maria around the creeky old farm house, the desaturated blue building's interior surprisingly clean and tidy, with well polished hardwood floors. She was directed to a room upstairs with a small bed covered in loose sheets and a small window which faced towards the open scarlet fields. Maria collapsed without stripping out of any of her clothes, falling asleep atop the coarse cloth and the lumpy bed.

She awoke understanding to some extent the Lust portion of Lustvale. Her fingers dove beneath her jeans and underwear roughly massaging her already wet pussy with her fingers. Her name sounded through the house and she quickly pulled her fingers away, feeling the wetness between her thighs leaving her mildly irritated as she sought out Wynn, glad that her juices hadn't soaked through her thin underwear.

Wynn sat at a breakfast table which held what looked to be a Lustvale equivalent to oatmeal, milk, honey, and berries.

"Eat quickly so you can start working, I've got a couple things around the farm I need to see get done."

Maria nodded but paused for a moment, "Would it be okay if I took a shower, or uh, a bath, or something first?"

Wynn let out a noise halfway between a giggle and a cackle, "Maria I can promise you that you will need that shower infinitely more after having worked than before."

Maria wanted to protest but gave up as she realized that she wasn't particularly interested in explaining her exact reason for feeling she required a shower.

She quickly rushed down her breakfast including the milk which was surprisingly sweet and followed the written list that Wynn had provided her outside.

That was when she first encountered Romulus. He certainly didn't help her situation. A tall dark furred minotaur, his body was rippling with muscles which he was more than happy to show off. The only thing leaving him from being completely exposed to the world was a loose pair of tan pants, and even those failed to properly hide the thick silhouette form of a cock pressed against the cloth.

Maria turned away from him blushing.

"I see Miss Wynn has brought in another stray to our happy little farm."

"I, uh, yeah I guess, who are you?"

The minotaur gave a smirk, "The name's Romulus. I suppose I'll see you around the farm then."

"Yeah, I guess." Maria responded, her voice wavering ever so slightly.

She looked at the list again to avoid staring at any of Romulus's body, even as he went into the house to confer with Wynn about something.
