#2 of Taking Care of Business

This is a two part story I am uploading as a kind of teaser for my novel length project The Equinox Case which I shall soon upload to Patreon. This story takes place in the same universe.

I'm sure a lot of you will recognise some of these characters both mine and my husband ColinLeighton stories, but those of who are very observant would have noticed the term Humboldt Nuclear Scheme as a recurring theme in a lot of these.

This two part tale reveals a little more about that...


"And there we go Daddy Diego, it's ready to be baked."

Diego watched as Melanie skipped around the kitchen. His tail wagged happily as the Alsatian cub presented the cake mixture which she had spooned into the baking tray. "Rad!" Diego grinned as put the oven mitts on his paws and slid the cake into the oven. "I'm sure Freddy will love it." "We can ice it tomorrow," Melanie said, wagging her tail. Diego smiled and shared a high five with the Alsatian cub. He then glanced around the kitchen and looked at the dirty utensils and flecks of cake mixture on the marble counters. "Hmm, I think we'd better clean this up," Diego observed, scratching his muzzle. "Let's get to it," Melanie said, her tail still wagging. "Heh, I was never that enthusiastic to wash dishes when I was your age," Diego chuckled as they set to work.

A minute later the kitchen was spotless and Diego finished stacking the dishes beside the sink. "I'd better go get clean," he said, drying his paws with a dishcloth. "You're covered in flower," Melanie giggled. "When you're clean we can watch a movie?" "That's an awesome idea, what do we have left?" Diego asked. "Hmm, let's see we've watched The Sound of Music." "About twenty times," Diego laughed. "My Fair Lady, The King & I, oh and Dad said he was getting all three of The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe for my birthday," Melanie continued. "Is that one where I'll have to run away when you suggest watching it?" Diego asked. "Don't be silly Daddy Diego," Melanie sighed. "You are silly sometimes." "I told you I prefer rad, cool or awesome," Diego grinned. "We could watch a movie from my selection?" "Which one?" "How about Back to the Future?" Diego suggested. "Is it suitable for someone my age?" Melanie asked. "I'm sorry?" Diego replied with a laugh. "It's what Dad and Emily always ask, to make sure I'm allowed to watch it," Melanie explained. "Oh right, yeah this is pretty suitable," Diego said. "Or we could watch Blade Runner?" "That sounds scary, the first one sounds better," Melanie replied, wagging her tail. "Rad, right you go and sit yourself on the sofa. I'll clean up and come start the movie." Melanie paused and looked around as if someone could be watching. "Please may we have ice cream while we watch it?" she asked. "Is Dad at home?" Diego asked. Melanie looked confused. "No." "In that case we can have ice cream," Diego grinned. Melanie paused before laughing with glee. "I like it when it's just us two, your fun," the Alsatian cub giggled. "Fun, yeah I'll accept fun along with awesome," Diego said, pretending to scratch his muzzle and think. "Shall we also open some beers we the movie?" "Now that's being silly Daddy Diego," Melanie replied, fixing him a stern look while trying to conceal a smile and putting her paws on her hips. Diego laughed. "You go and get the ice cream out and I'll get clean," he said. Melanie wagged her tail and skipped off to the kitchen. Diego smiled to himself before walking to the downstairs bathroom.

He closed the bathroom door and glanced at his reflection in the mirror; Diego was a muscular Wolfdog who, like his mate, had the looks of an actor or a handsome rogue. His features were a blend of a broad, Wolf-like muzzle and ears with the short fur and slight gold tint on his arms and legs of an Alsatian. He was dressed in a tight black wifebeater which had become dusted with flour and a gold chain around his neck. To any casual observer, Diego and Friedrich made an unusual couple, as strikingly good looking and muscular as they equally were. Friedrich was prim and proper while Diego liked to dress and talk like a bro. At the start of their relationship, Diego was also conscious of the fact Friedrich came from a respectable military lineage whereas he was born to a Wolf father who spent his time getting drunk outside a reservation casino while German born Alsatian mother more or less ignored him after winning a bitter custody battle. Nevertheless, Diego felt a warm rush of adrenaline in his stomach whenever he looked at his boyfriend and he loved Friedrich more than anything. He knew Friedrich found his way of dressing attractive; the Alsatian often whistled and said hey stud_whenever Diego put on a wifebeater, but Friedrich never failed to make it clear that he loved Diego too. _You are quite unlike anyone I have ever had a relationship with Friedrich had said on the day Diego had moved into his mate's house. I sensed from day one you were someone special and that's why I know I want to spend the rest of my life with you. Diego had also held reservations about becoming a step-father owing to his own upbringing, but looking after Melanie while Friedrich was away gave him a sense of happiness and fulfilment he had never experienced before. Diego smiled as he considered how lucky he was to have Friedrich as a mate and Melanie as a step-daughter before brushing the flour off and making his way back to the kitchen.

Melanie had already set the ice cream out to thaw and Diego found the Alsatian cub perched on the sofa. He retrieved the DVD from the rack and slotted it into the player. "Ready?" he asked. Melanie nodded and thumped her tail against the sofa. Diego pressed play and sat down beside her. The titles appeared on the screen and Melanie cuddled up to Diego. They watched the movie in silence until Diego could smell the cake baking. "We gotta get it out before the house burns down," he chuckled before pausing the movie. "Dad won't be very happy if the house burns down," Melanie laughed. "For sure dudette, he'd go ape shi... I mean he'd not be very happy," Diego said before putting a paw over his muzzle.

The cake wasn't too badly burnt and the ice cream had softened so Diego spooned some into two bowls before following the wagging Alsatian cub back to the living room. Diego ate the ice cream (it was a nice brand of mint chocolate chip) and tried to absorb himself in the movie, but his anticipation of Friedrich's arrival was growing. He glanced at the clock on the mantelpiece; it was eight thirty. Diego recalled Friedrich saying he would be back around that time before he had left. My flight gets in at seven. It'd probably take me an hour and a half or so to drive back to San Amador if the traffic is light. Diego finished his ice cream and sat back to enjoy the rest of the movie. Friedrich was always organised and timed everything to the letter. No doubt the Alsatian would be on his way back from the airport by now. Diego allowed his worries to drift away and laughed along with Melanie as Marty McFly played Johnny B Goode during the high school prom scene.

Eventually the movie came to an end. "I liked that one," Melanie said, beating her tail against the sofa. "I'm glad," Diego grinned before glancing back at the clock. "Is it my bedtime?" Melanie asked cautiously. Diego hesitated. Part of him wanted Melanie to wait downstairs so she could see her father come home. "It's okay Daddy Diego, I can go to bed. Dad usually comes to see me and say goodnight when he comes back late." Diego breathed a sigh of relief. At least that clears that one up. "That's a good idea, just in case Dad gets stern with us for staying up late," Diego reasoned. "He only gets stern with you Daddy Diego," Melanie said, fixing him an innocent yet precocious look. "And I don't want you to get into trouble," she added with a concerned expression. Diego couldn't help but laugh. "I won't get into trouble, Dad is a kind man," he said reassuringly. "I'll make sure he comes upstairs to say goodnight to you." Melanie nodded before scampering up the stairs. Diego listened out as she brushed her fangs in the bathroom and then he heard the sound of her little hind-paws on the floor above as she skipped to her bedroom. He made his way up the stairs and peered into her room. The Alsatian cub had put on her night clothes and was sitting under the covers with the bedside lamp on. "May I read for a little while Daddy Diego?" she asked hopefully. Diego knew Friedrich encouraged his daughter to read. "For sure dudette, why not read for five minutes and I'll come check on you in a little while. Okay?" "Thank you Daddy Diego, I love you," Melanie replied, thumping her tail against the bed and reaching for a copy of The Secret Garden. Diego felt a warm feeling inside that Melanie had said I love you. Although she had recently taken to saying it more often, it made him feel a warm sense of acceptance as a second father. "I love you too, sleep well," Diego smiled before gently easing the door shut.

Diego resumed his position on the sofa and wondered whether to watch something else on the television. His paw hovered over the remote, but he decided to take a cue from Melanie and read something. Friedrich had an extensive collection of military novels and Diego picked one off the shelf which discussed the subject of the Malayan Emergency. Diego didn't know anything about the conflict so he curled up on the sofa and began to read. The book was interesting, but Diego couldn't help but glance at the clock every now and again. The minutes ticked by and Diego turned his attention back to the book. He's stuck in traffic, that's all. Diego put the book down and tip-toed up the stairs to glance into Melanie's room. The Alsatian cub had turned her light off and appeared to be sleeping soundly. Diego closed the door again and made his way back down stairs to continue reading.

He had just finished the last page when he glanced up to see a pair of headlights sweeping down the short driveway to the front door. His tail thumped against the sofa as the front door opened and he saw his mate step inside. Friedrich walked into the living room dressed in his blue suit. A smile spread across the Alsatian's muzzle. "Hey stud," he said in his deep yet warm voice. "Sorry I was a little delayed. My flight was late departing." "Hey babe, it's no problem," Diego said as he stood up and Friedrich pulled him into a hug. "How did the meeting go?" "I didn't find out as much as I would have hoped, only that the CEO operating the plant won't budge and still wants to build the site here," Friedrich admitted. "My thoughts on the issue remain unchanged, I'm still against it." Both males closed their eyes as they shared a kiss and Diego allowed his boyfriend's tongue to slide into his muzzle. As they kissed, Diego felt Friedrich's paw venture up his tanktop and feel his muscular chest. His dick stiffened in his underwear and caused a pronounced bulge in his jeans. Diego kept kissing Friedrich while gently grinding his bulge against Friedrich's crotch. "Heh, later stud. I'll go and check on Melanie first," Friedrich grinned. "Was she good?" "She was, in fact she suggested baking a cake for when you got back," Diego explained. "I can smell it," Friedrich chuckled. "She went to bed about an hour ago," Diego explained as Friedrich made his way up the stairs. The Alsatian eased the door open to his cub's room and checked inside before reappearing a minute later. "She's fast asleep," Friedrich explained quietly. Diego noticed his boyfriend's ears splaying slightly. "I wish I'd got home sooner so I could say goodnight." "I'm sorry babe," Diego sighed, giving his husband another hug and a kiss. "Well, it does mean we can do something I'd been thinking about on the way home," Friedrich said as a wry grin spread across his muzzle. Diego knew what Friedrich meant and he could feel his dick growing hard again. "I just need to call Emily to work out a public statement and then I'll be back. Why not get yourself ready stud?" Friedrich added with a wink. Diego needed no encouragement. He watched as Friedrich walked to his study. The door opened and Diego could see the floor of the Alsatian's usually neat and tidy office space were covered in poster tubes and piles of leaflets. Diego knew what they were for. Election time was approaching and Friedrich was preparing for battle. Diego was confident that his boyfriend would get a second term in office as Friedrich had a lot of factors in his favour; he was a handsome military hero, had a strong local following and he was a well-known face in the Congress, even among political rivals who grudgingly acknowledged flair for public speaking, intelligence and the fact he resembled a sex symbol and not a typical politician had won him votes from across the board. A recurring theme of the campaign in the area was the proposed Humboldt Nuclear Scheme. Most people were against it and Friedrich was open about his opposition to the idea. The candidates in the primary to select Friedrich's opponent were split on the issue, but the current favourite; an Otter and former lawyer by the name of David Strickland had come out in favour of the Scheme. If that doesn't clinch it for you dude, I don't know what will Diego had said. Still, Friedrich was not complacent and had begun recruiting a band of local volunteers to help alongside his staff. Despite what some think politics isn't a beauty contest. Looks only get you so far. I want to show I'm working with people in this district, and I don't think bussing in a load of activists from DC to fill the streets like Strickland does will present that image Friedrich had explained when the poster tubes had arrived at the house. Diego pushed the memory from his head; now was not the time to think about politics which, as interesting as it can be, more often than not proved to be an erection-killer. Diego thought about sprawling himself naked on the sofa but was worried that Melanie may awaken and come looking for her father. A grin spread across his muzzle as he thought of a better idea; allow Friedrich to prowl around the house and find me.

A minute later Diego had cleaned himself up in the bathroom and was lying face down on the bed clad just in his briefs. He was wearing a tight-fitting black Wolf & Coyote pair that he knew Friedrich would like. Diego could feel the bulge in his briefs growing bigger as he listened to Friedrich walking around downstairs, no doubt looking for him. The sound of the Alsatian's paw-steps grew louder as Friedrich walked up the stairs and made for the bathroom. Diego heard the shower run for a minute and then there was another moment of silence. He tensed himself, feeling his dick growing even harder and causing his briefs to strain. Then, the fur on the back of his neck stood on end as he heard a low growl followed by the feeling of Friedrich's snoot pressing into the seat of his briefs. Diego grinned as Friedrich's nose pressed right up against his tail hole and sniff deeply before the Alsatian straddled over him and sniffed at his armpits. "I'm a Shep, I like to sniff things," he heard Friedrich reason. Diego glanced over his shoulder to see the muscular Alsatian wearing his white Armani briefs and military dog tags around his neck. The material of Friedrich's underwear was stretched to the limit by his erect cock and large, low hanging balls. Diego was always amazed at the fact Friedrich could pack everything into his close-fitting briefs, but the sight turned him on immensely. "I must say, you smell great tonight," Friedrich growled, sniffing at Diego's armpits again. "Like rosewater, with just a hint of that Wolfdog musk that drives me wild." "Heh, it's a new conditioner I found," Diego explained. Friedrich pressed his body against Diego's and began grinding his bulge against the seat of Diego's briefs. Diego closed his eyes and enjoyed the feeling of the muscular Alsatian on top of him. Although he was inclined to be an alpha, Diego sometimes liked to allow Friedrich to have his way with him.

Diego then felt Friedrich take him by the arms and roll him over. "I have a lot things to take care of after the meeting today, but first though Diego I have to take care of some business here," Friedrich grinned, pawing at Diego's dick through his briefs. "Dude, that's worse than the lines from most porn flicks," Diego said before letting out a groan as Friedrich began rubbing and grinding his bulge against the Wolfdog's. Diego was already feeling very pent up and the feeling was aggravated as Friedrich reached over and squeezed both his nipples. "You like that?" Friedrich growled in Diego's face. "Hnnng, yes," Diego managed to reply as Friedrich squeezed his nipples harder. Diego felt a sudden urge to take more control of the situation and he reached out and tweaked both of the Alsatian's nipples in return. Friedrich let out a huff as Diego tweaked and squeezed. "Okay stud, I think I know how to settle this. Did you clean yourself up?" Friedrich asked through gritted teeth. "Yes," Diego replied with a grin. "Same here," Friedrich replied. "Although I have no intention of losing." "We'll see about that dude," Diego growled, giving Friedrich's nipples another tweak. "Normal rules apply?" "Yup, pin the other for ten seconds and they receive a fucking," Friedrich said.

A moment later Diego was crouching on his hind-paws and facing Friedrich. Both males were still in their briefs and Diego could feel his dick leaking pre into his underwear, but he maintained the snarl on his face as he and Friedrich circled like two primal canines about to fight. "Three... two... one... go!" Diego growled as the pair launched themselves at each other. Both canines became a tangle of hind-paws and arms as they growled into each other's faces and tried to pin the other to the carpet. Friedrich soon had Diego in a headlock but Diego thrashed about, not wanting his mate to pin him down. The Alsatian's grip soon proved too strong and Friedrich pushed Diego's face into the soft, shagpile rug by the bed. Diego wriggled about as Friedrich briefs clad ass planted itself onto his face. "One... two... three..." Friedrich began counting, but Diego squirmed free and managed to flip Friedrich on his back. The air of the bedroom was filled with the musky scent of pre and sweat as both canines rolled around on the floor. Diego managed to wrap his hind-paws around Friedrich's chest and tried pushing him to the floor. "Ready for your fucking?" Diego growled, but he froze as he heard a knock on the bedroom door. Friedrich and Diego glanced at each other before springing apart. Diego glanced down and saw his briefs were still tenting out thanks to his throbbing dick. He dived under the covers as Friedrich quickly retrieved his bathrobe and wrapped it around himself.

Diego peered out from under the blankets as Friedrich cautiously opened the door to reveal Melanie standing on the other side. "Hello Melanie," Friedrich said gently, crouching down to his cub's level. "Could you not sleep?" "Hello Daddy," Melanie said, wrapping her arms around her father. "I heard some noises and I thought a burglar was downstairs." "Oh, right," Friedrich replied, hugging his daughter back. "There's no burglars in the house, all is well." "Okay Daddy," Melanie replied as her tail wagged. "I had fun watching a movie with Diego and we had ice cream, but I'm glad you've come home." "She had the ice cream before bedtime," Diego added from under the covers. "I'm glad to be back home too," Friedrich replied, rolling his eyes at Diego. "You'd better get some sleep. Aren't you seeing your friend tomorrow?" "Yes, I'm going to Juliette's house," Melanie replied before letting out a yawn. "Good night Daddy." "Good night Melanie you sleep well, okay?" Friedrich said, giving his daughter a hug and a nuzzle. Melanie smiled and turned to make her way back to her room. Friedrich let out a deep breath as he closed the door.

Diego crawled out from under the covers as Friedrich shed his bathrobe. "Jeez, that was a close escape," he sighed. "The perils of having cubs," Friedrich chuckled dryly. "If she's seeing her friend tomorrow then we'll have time to resume our wrestling match, but we can do something quieter to keep us going until then?" "That sounds like a plan," Diego grinned. He lay down and began fondling his dick through the fabric of his briefs to get his erection fully hard again. Friedrich lay beside him and did the same before reaching out to give Diego's nipples a tweak. "I have an idea," Friedrich grinned. He straddled over Diego and presented his briefs clad rump in front of Diego's face. Diego knew what to do; with a grin he pressed his snoot into the rear of Friedrich's briefs and sniffed. He could catch the sexy, manly scent through the material and the feeling of arousal soon returned. Diego reached out and tugged Friedrich's briefs down, exposing the muscular Alsatian's fine ass. He sniffed at the hole again before planting wet licks and kisses against the bare patch of skin around it. Diego knew he was doing a good job as he heard Friedrich moan with pleasure before the Alsatian reached down to slide Diego's briefs off, which by now had become very musky and damp. "Move your hind-paws babe," Friedrich instructed, and Diego felt the Alsatian began to lick against his tail hole.

The two males continued lapping at each other's holes and the room was filled with the sound of wet licks and satisfied moaning. "Ready to get off?" Friedrich asked as he climbed off. Diego responded with a grin and a nod. "Let me do the same to you," he said. Friedrich smiled and presented his thick and throbbing cock in front of Diego's muzzle. The tip was wet with pre with a thick glob already forming and threatening to drip off at any moment. Diego took Friedrich's shaft in his paw and licked the tip clean. Friedrich groaned before closing his muzzle around Diego's dick and working his way up and down. Diego tried sliding the length of Friedrich's thick member down his muzzle and lapped at the shaft with his rough tongue. He could feel Friedrich's motions growing more frantic as the Alsatian gripped him tightly beneath his knot. "Fuck, I feel like I'm gonna cum already," Diego groaned as he pulled off Friedrich's cock. Friedrich kept himself in place as Diego bucked forwards and came hard. He lay back and closed his eyes as Friedrich took his load down his throat. "My turn," Friedrich panted as he gripped his cock, but before Diego had a chance to position himself he felt the Alsatian's warm cum splash over his face and chest. Diego lay still and panted as Friedrich's load continued to hit his muzzle before he sat up and licked some of it off. "I... I think we'd better get clean babe," Friedrich panted.

Both canines glanced cautiously out of the bedroom door, but the coast was clear. They crept to the bathroom and Diego quickly stuck his head under the shower to wash the cum off his face before joining Friedrich at the sink to brush his fangs. Friedrich then took Diego by the paw and led him back to bed. "I'm glad you're back dude," Diego said as they climbed beneath the covers. "I know it was just a day but it's nice to lay beside you." "I like having you to hold too Diego," Friedrich whispered. Diego smiled and kissed his mate before Friedrich reached to turn off the light. "What's going to happen with the whole Humboldt thing?" Diego yawned. "I sense this is the beginning of a long fight," Friedrich sighed as he kissed Diego back. "Well, I'm here for you dude," Diego replied. Friedrich responded with a smile before nuzzling Diego between the ears. Diego closed his eyes as Friedrich continued to nuzzle him until sleep came.
