Just Another Guy

Early morning nude workout, regular as clockwork for Giovanni. For a change, however, he was not home in his apartment. He was working out in Alessa's bedroom as she watched him.

She churred playfully watching his abs stretch and bend. "My, Gio, if you keep doing that I may have to chain you to the bed."

Giovanni laughed. "You can try, but I can break free, Alessa."

She suddenly grabbed him, disrupting his balance. "Then I'll just pin you." She play-growled and yanked him back into bed with her.

...

The mouse ached as she left the cheap motel the wolf, Ilya had kept her in all night.

Ilya woke up. He could barely smell the mouse. He rolled out of bed.

The wolf showered, he got dressed, he ate, then he set out on his way.

...

Alessa had decided to treat Giovanni to a breakfast at home with her.

He accepted heartily.

Alessa stopped midway through her own meal to watch him. Knowing her nights with him may soon cease, it made him seem that much more attainable, that much more attractive than he already was for her.

He noticed and laughed. "What?"

The Dalmatian shook her head. "Oh, nothing."

He stopped. "Come on, Alessa. We've been friends for years now. You think I can't tell by now when you're upset?"

Alessa smiled sadly. "We have been together a long time haven't we?"

He heard the way she had worded that last sentence. "Oh..."

She sniffed. "I'm sorry."

Gio stopped her. "No I'm sorry. I had no idea you felt that way."

Alessa stiffened when he held her. Her resolve fell when he kissed her. "I guess after so many women, you can become a bit numb to how some of us feel, hmm?"

He held her. "I try not to. I mean, I do like you, I appreciate our friendship even the little benefits we've had on the side, I never knew how you really felt, though. You never told me."

Alessa sighed, "I just figured all the lovemaking we did might clue you in. I don't just do that with anyone, I'm sure you realize. You are the first guy I've ever felt anything for since..."

Giovanni nodded. "Since Alfredo?"

She nodded in turn after hearing her ex-husband's name. "I ruined everything with him. I was a junkie." She felt her left arm where she had injected herself with heroin many times. A friend had introduced her to it when she used to be a waitress. "He left me, he took our son with him to America. I overdosed... I almost died... Then I met you."

He nodded. He remembered that day five years ago.

He was with a client. He remembered being mid-coitus with a lovely lioness when her lion boyfriend found them. The next thing Giovanni remembered was waking up in the hospital with a busted muzzle and bruised ribs.

The mongoose spent months recovering in the hospital. In that time, he met Alessa. The two became fast friends; they shared stories of their own separate pasts betwixt one another. She left the hospital before him, but she returned every day to chat more with him. One day, bravely, she kissed him. Another day, she locked the door to his hospital room and they first made love.

When he was released, she drove him home. What a surprise it was for the pair to learn they both lived in the same building. Her husband had money, he could afford an apartment on the fourth floor of their luxury home. She kept the apartment. Giovanni helped her pay with half of what he earned from his escort services until she would have her own work to pay her rent.

They remained friends since then. In that time, she fell in love with the mongoose who slept with every woman, but always had time for her.

Giovanni and Alessa kissed as the memories ended.

They got up then returned to her bedroom.

...

Meanwhile, Shari had just left her building. Her brief night with Giovanni left her wanting to see him again. She had to be at work now, but tonight she would try to find that mongoose again.

...

Giovanni and Alessa laid together after having spent much of their day making love. She'd had to call in sick at her job.

Alessa gasped as Gio finished once more inside her.

Gio whispered, "Now, I hope that has you feeling better, Alessa."

Alessa giggled, "Definitely."

The mongoose noticed the time. "It's almost going to be night."

Alessa petted him. "Time flies when you're having fun."

"I'd promised that cobra girl I would see her again tonight... I'd hate for her to think I would stand her up for no reason."

Alessa kissed him. "Go shower, then get dressed, Gio."

Gio looked at her. "You'll let me go? Even now that we're...?"

The Dalmatian stopped him. "Shush. I love you, but I don't want to tie you down. You're a gigolo, right? You still have a duty to uphold for the women of Rome."

The mongoose found himself stuck between decisions. "You mean even if this girl, Shari, if she may end up with me instead."

Alessa kissed him. "Enough, Gio! Losing you will hurt, but keeping you from a future is worst. Go on... I'll still be here."

Reluctantly still, Giovanni got up to prepare for his rendezvous with Shari.

...

Ilya had just arrived back to his homeland, Russia. The big wolf remained silent as he entered his humble two-story home.

In the den, he found his father, the elderly, infirm wolf asleep in his armchair.

Ilya set his bags down quietly.

He petted his ill father carefully; not careful enough, however. The old wolf awoke, his blurry blue eyes saw his son. He smiled with nearly toothless gums. He uttered something in Russian. Ilya leaned in close to hear.

Ilya, crestfallen, answered his father's question. It broke his heart to see his old man take the response as he did every time he woke up.

Ilya hid his own sorrow as he looked up and he saw the portrait, his parents together on their wedding day, Ilya a mere bump beneath the bride's dress.

Ilya turned with a shock when he heard footsteps behind him.

<Papa!> Ilya's own son ran to him. The wolf smiled bravely for his only child as they embraced.

<Papa! Did you buy me anything from Venice?> The little wolf pup, his eyes blue just like all the men in Ilya's family, looked up with boundless hope and wonder.

He set his son down on the kitchen table. He reached into his backpack and he pulled out a toy. It was a little wooden wolf doll. Ilya had bought it with some of the money he had made from his last kill.

He smiled as he saw his son behold the toy like a gift from the Pope. <Thank you, Papa! I love you!>

<I hope you have something for me too, Ilya.> The wolf's wife, Ivana stood in the doorway.

Ilya grinned as his young son ran off to play. <I might, we'll have to go upstairs so I can show you, though.> He grabbed his wife's butt as he led her up to their bedroom.

...

Ivana lay upon her naked husband's body after he'd just given her his "present."

The wolfess dragged her nails across his broad chest. <Oh, Ilya, I think you might have put a new baby in me with that last one.>

Ilya chuckled. <Why? You want another already, Ivana?>

Ivana rubbed herself against her mate's groin. <I'm going into heat soon, love. I want to give little Olav a baby sister.>

<Well, I am sure I can oblige you, my turtledove.> Ilya kissed his wife as he pulled her back onto his wolfhood for more marital bliss.

...

Shari sat in the same seat she had the previous night when she met the mongoose.

She smiled when she saw him walk in. "Gio! Sono qui!" She waved for Giovanni.

He smiled when he saw her. She wore a black dress tonight, the same form-fitting type of dress, however. He had worn his good suit to the club.

She offered her left hand to him. He kissed it. "You are looking lovely this evening, Shari."

"You don't look half bad yourself, Giovanni." He took a seat next to her and they shared cocktails and stories for the next hour.

Shari laughed after hearing of Giovanni's mishap with a lioness and her lion boyfriend. "Oh my, I guess your job comes with some hazards, huh?"

Giovanni found himself laughing to Shari's own story of where she intimidated a witness on the stand to the point where the skunk sprayed in his pants. "The judge had to have that chair thrown out and the whole box disinfected."

Giovanni nodded, "Hmm, I've been sprayed before. I had a skunk once and well, I was apparently doing her so well that she lost control... Oh boy, my neighbor had to bathe me in gallons, I mean gallons of tomato soup."

Shari was in tears from the laughter. "Oh my, you certainly live a very interesting life, Giovanni."

He shook his head. "Please, call me Gio."

"Gio? That's so cute." She pinched his cheek. "Little Gio." She hiccupped. "Oh, I'm tipsy."

He looked aside to the dance floor where a few couples were dancing. "Do you dance, Shari?"

Shari would blush if she were not a snake. "Oh no, I am how you say it? I'm left-footed. I can't dance."

He took her up. "Come on, you never know if you don't try, Shari."

Eventually, he convinced her to dance with them. He led and she followed, he spun her and she nearly fell into his arms.

She countered, curled her long tail around Giovanni's midsection. He chuckled and rubbed the strong muscular tail around his waist.

She moved smoothly around him, showing more grace than she had let on.

Gio was pleased. "You are untruthful, Lady Shari. You have danced before."

Shari matched his grin. "I'm a snake, darling; very sneaky..."

By the time Gio and Shari finished, all the other dancers were watching the odd couple.

The music stopped.

Gio pushed her back far enough that it seemed she would fall. He held her firmly in his right arm as he kissed her passionately for all to see.

Shari embraced him. Briefly forgetting where she was, she allowed the kiss to persist.

Their kiss broke and she saw the people around her. "Oh my..."

The crowd applauded them. The cobra would most certainly blush right now if she could.

She silently broke away from the mongoose. "Um, thank you for the dance..."

She walked away, confounding the mongoose.

...

She fumed quietly as she walked away from the club. "That... jerk! Who the hell does he think I am?"

She waved for a cab, but no one saw her. "He's just another selfish male. You'll get over him." She told him. She saw him. She turned away, began to walk.

"Shari!" He called out.

She heard him. She didn't stop. She went through a dark alley to get away and she bumped into a bull.

The large bovine turned with a loud snort. "'Ey! Why don't ya watch where yer goin'!" He stopped short of calling her asshole when he saw her. "Oh sorry, Signorina."

She backed away into an Appaloosa stallion. "Well, Clyde, it looks like we found ourselves a little snake."

The bull, Clyde grinned to his equine friend. "Maybe we oughta show her our 'snakes' huh?"

The Appaloosa nickered lecherously as he pulled Shari to his barrel chest.

She gulped as she felt the Appaloosa's thick trouser snake through his khaki jeans.

Giovanni saw this. He found a piece of lumber.

The Appaloosa suddenly pushed Shari into Clyde's arms. "You can have the first poke, friend. You found her."

"Oh, I'm not just gonna poke her." He chuckled as he lifted Shari's dress, and began to finger her scaly labia around her soft pink cloaca.

She gasped from the sudden touching in her most private of areas and memories of Cairo, Egypt rushed back.

Her memories of her fiancée. He was a cobra as well. Her king. They made love the night before her wedding. He took her into womanhood for that brief premarital moment. He would have made her belly full of his eggs that night... If he were allowed to finish.

A lion and a few colleagues had broken into their house that night to make off with riches, not realizing the snakes were in the bedroom. The lion saw them. He stabbed the male in the back then the belly and heart before slashing his throat.

Shari was frozen in fear as she watched her beloved die just before two males held her down. She looked in growing distress as she watched that lion pull down his pants then thrust his cock into her only recently deflowered cloaca. Shari cried out from the painful thrusts the lion made. She cried as she soon felt that lion fill her with his seed. He pulled from her, then held her down as one of his two cohorts took his turn with her. The pine marten wasn't as big or as overly strong as the lion, she found... ashamedly she actually enjoyed his technique. He filled her then the third male penetrated her, a secretary bird. He was another slightly more enjoyable one than the lion, but it never changed the fact that all in one night, she'd lost her virginity, her lover, and finally her dignity to this trio of males.

Just as the raptor made his own contribution, Shari in rage bit down on the lion holding her down, delivering a fatal dose of venom directly into a major artery on his arm. The lion fell in minutes. Both of his friends backed off. They ran out like the cowards they were, leaving the two corpses and their one living victim to weep over her mate's body.

Shari snapped back from her memories as she climaxed on the bull's invading fingers. Clyde chuckled. "Oh-ho-ho, she feels good and ready now."

CRACK!

Clyde's Appaloosa friend fell to the ground with a bloody gash in the back of his head.

Giovanni stood over the fallen horse and he glared fiercely at the bull holding Shari.

Clyde watched the mongoose, he stood a clear foot over the smaller male. He chuckled. "You might have gotten the drop on Thomas, but there's no way you're getting at me, you finocchio."

Giovanni grinned. "I can try." He made a move, the bull let Shari go to grab at the mongoose. Giovanni sidestepped him in the narrow alley and stuck him in his right bicep with the broken board he'd just used on the Appaloosa.

Clyde growled fiercely as he held his slashed arm in pain. He barely had time to look up before Giovanni kicked him square in the chin. The bull fell, a few of his teeth shooting out of his bottom jaw as he fell limp next to his equine friend.

Giovanni comically limped on his left foot. "Ow, that fucker had a hard head!"

Shari looked up from where she had fallen. "Gio..."

Giovanni turned to her. "Hey..."

Shari passed out from the stress before she could say more.

Giovanni sighed.

...

Later, Giovanni managed to get Shari into his car. He drove off.

Not too far, a shady figure had seen him fight off those two larger males so effortlessly.

The iguana scratched his chin as a grin spread across his face.
