Having just read part 1, and coming here to comment, I am thrilled to read that there are lots more parts in the works!
For a lot of this story, instead of feeling sexy or erotic feelings, I felt just a deep, powerful sadness and empathy, in a good way. I felt that I could really related to our central lady, her plight, I have times like this, nothing to this extent, but it made it all the easier to place myself into her situation, to have a sense of what she was feeling, experiencing and going through.
This gave me a very powerful sense of connection, of interest, it drew me right in and made me feel that what was happening here and going on here mattered. More than this, seeing the positive aspects coming of this, the positive experiences, also the over the top happiness and cuddly nature of the animals, it all made me smile and feel warm inside.
The story, as it stands, has left me with a lot of questions about what is going on here, but since there are several parts to come, I am hoping we will learn more about this with time.
As it stands it seems clear that the cafe is the new safe place for Clara, and I wonder how long before she will be auditioning for a role as a pet herself
Also I do wonder about a stronger sexual or bondage, or both, element in all of this going forward. For now though I am just happy to have enjoyed this, and have made a mental note to check out more of your writing sooner rather than later
