The Jack and the Filly
Sunday
The early morning passed peacefully, as the mare and donkey slept on in various positions of holding each other. As the sun made its journey across the window, a shaft of light shining across her eyes awakened Claire. She blinked and lifted her head from Daniel's shoulder where he was still sleeping soundly. Glancing at the clock she saw that it was nearly 11 and decided to go ahead and get up.
She yawned silently and watched the sleeping donkey for a moment, his chest rising and falling softly, and wondered what he had dreamed about. Pondering a second to recall her own dreams of last night brought a broad smile to her lips. She vaguely recalled grabbing the donkey in different places during the course of the night.
Leaning over Daniel's sleeping form, Claire traced a fingertip lightly over his facial features, smoothing over his eyebrows and down his cheekbones, across the bridge of his nose and around his thin lips. She began brushing her lips against the side of his face and he stirred becoming more awake. He opened his eyes and was greeted with Claire's warm smile.
"Good morning dozy donkey," she said and kissed him.
He yawned and smiled back, "Hi sunshine. How long have you been awake?"
She shrugged and said, "Not long. How did you sleep?"
Daniel gave a small stretch and said, "Really good, I guess I was more tired than I thought." He yawned again and ran his tongue over his teeth, "Oh man, I am thirsty" and started to make like he was going to get out of bed when Claire pushed him back down. "I'll go get us some water, you just sit tight," she said and slipped out of bed quickly and flitted down the hallway into the kitchen.
The donkey rubbed his eyes and stretched again before sitting up in bed and saw a distinct hill forming under the covers. He realized his lower half was now waking up and he clearly had a case of 'morning wood'. As he was shifting his equipment under the sheets, Claire came back with two large glasses of water. He reached out for the glass she handed him and promptly drank most of it in one go.
"Much better, thanks!" he said and set the glass aside.
Claire was just sipping hers, and nearly spit out her water in surprise as she noticed the tent in Daniel's lap. She spluttered and coughed and quickly set the glass down as Dan giggled at her, not noticing her gaze locked on his erection that was clearly evident through the bed sheets. "You okay over there?" he asked.
She coughed lightly and wiped her mouth, but nodded her head towards Daniel and asked, "Does that always happen?" He finally noticed where she was staring, and he looked down to see the covers making a mountain in his lap. Daniel blushed briefly and shifted saying, "Oh, uh, yeah. Just something that happens to guys I guess. It usually does not last long though."
Claire giggled and dove under the covers headfirst and squirmed her way over to Dan's lap, her feet sticking out from the edge of the bed. He patted the lump that he guessed would be her behind and laughed, "Going spelunking?"
Her muffled reply was, "Shh, I'm hunting the rare cave snake, I have to be quiet or I might frighten it away." Dan giggled and suddenly felt Claire's hot breath on his crotch. He slouched under the covers slightly and spread his legs a bit. The mare took this as an open invitation and pulled the waistband of his underwear down freeing the glans of his penis, which was growing firmer by the second.
He felt her lips kissing around his shaft and he sighed in pleasure. She was using her hand to cup his balls securely and using her mouth to nibble around his dick. Daniel thrust his hips lightly and Claire giggled under the covers. She let go of his balls and wrapped her fingers around his shaft and pulled his glans to her moist lips. Giving a firm nip around the edge of his head sent an electric tingle down Dan's spine and he soon felt his cock enveloped in her hot mouth. He moaned in bliss and closed his eyes.
A moment later Claire popped his head out of mouth with an audible "schmmop!" and giggled under the covers again. She planted a firm kiss right on the tip of his penis before letting it go, and proceeded to crawl out from under the covers in his lap. Daniel was grinning widely as she made her way up his body and was soon sitting his lap, her hips straddling his.
Dan had placed his hands on either side of her wide hips, and was running them over her smooth, firm rump. He was fondling her soft ass as he murmured, "You are so sexy, frisky filly."
She winked at him slyly and pressed her breasts into his chest while bending down to kiss his forehead. As she was planting sweet kisses across his face, Daniel started to reach around below her tail and tickle her furry mound. The mare was giggling and moaning at the same time loving his teasing touch. She wiggled her hips around as Daniel tickled and pinched, running his fingertips lightly over her rubbery labia. He pressed his hand firmly over her walnut sized clitoris and moved his hand in deliberate slow circles. Claire closed her eyes and gasped out softly, grinding her crotch into his hand. The donkey let up the pressure of his hand and went back to smoothing his hands over her hips and rump. Claire leaned back slightly and sat more firmly on her rump between Dan's outstretched legs. She frowned slightly.
Daniel's smile faded and he looked into her face, "Something wrong, filly?"
She nodded slowly and she looked away distractedly, "I have to go back home tonight." Daniel stared down at the sheets and replied, "Oh, yeah. I was kind of wondering when that would come up."
Claire sighed back, "Yeah. Sally picked me up, so she has to drive me back too. She came out my way so she could visit with my parent's for a bit and then we came over here and almost immediately went to that party. I think she said something about wanting to leave around 7 or so tonight. I hope she has not forgotten about that."
Daniel placed his hands on her shoulders and looked up at her, "Is there anything you want to do today before you have to go?"
She grinned slightly and said, "Yeah, I can think of a couple of things. But for now I guess we should get dressed and get a snack, I'm kind of hungry." He nodded and let her roll off the bed before getting up himself.
The pair made their way to their respective bags and dug out the clothes they were going to wear. Daniel had brought another pair of shorts (white this time) and a black collared polo shirt. As he was getting into his clothes, he saw that Claire had laid out a longer white and red flowered one-piece dress that had buttons up the side above her waist. She had already put on a pair of pearl white panties and was getting strapped into a matching white bra.
"So I was thinking," she commented to Dan as she slid into her dress, "I've only got another week of school left before finals, then I've got some free time since I'm not doing any summer projects. What do you think about coming to visit me for a couple of weeks then?"
Dan pondered for a moment as she continued, "I know it is a couple of hours away, but I've got my own apartment, and my job is part-time. I'm sure you would enjoy it?" She had a hopeful look in her eyes.
The donkey was nodding, "Can I think about it? I still have two weeks left here before finals, and I have not talked to my parent's yet to see if they want me to visit after this semester."
"Okay, just think it over," she responded and came over to hug him. "In the meantime, let's pop in to the cafe down the street and get some brunch."
He nodded back and squeezed her affectionately, "Sounds good."
The two strolled down the street a couple of blocks to the small sidewalk cafe that had table in a covered patio. They took their seats and ordered a light dish, Claire choosing a fruit salad and Daniel getting a large blueberry muffin. The couple enjoyed sitting under the patio watching people go by, letting their conversation drift.
Claire was commenting on her hometown saying, "There is a little ma and pa cafe like this in the town square by the road that leads to my parent's house. If you come visit me, I'll take you there. I think that is where I went on my first official 'date'. I must have only been about 12 and had to have my mom chaperone." She laughed at the recalled memory.
Dan chuckled with her and imagined what a 12-year-old version of the mare would look like, her hair in braids and wearing a summer dress. He looked at her with affection and reached over to squeeze her hand, "I'm sure you were the cutest girl there." She smiled back and continued eating her fruit.
When the two finished up, Daniel offered to pick up the tab. She planted a kiss on his cheek as they left the sidewalk cafe, and they were soon back at the apartment. Claire was standing in the living room pondering what to do for the rest of the afternoon, when Daniel hugged her from behind and started rocking back and forth with her.
He could barely get his chin over her shoulder, but he grinned up at her and was running his hands over her stomach. "I want to do something for you, Claire," he said.
She turned her head to one side and replied, "What do you have in mind?"
"I want to give you a massage," he said with a smile in his voice.
"Mmm, that sounds nice. I think I'll let you," she said and turned around in his arms to press her nose against his. He grinned and took her by the hand back to the bedroom. She followed willingly.
"I want to set the right mood," he was saying as he turned on the TV and searched through the guide briefly and soon found the smooth jazz music channel. He grinned and said, "This would probably be better without your clothes on," not hiding the fact that he wanted to see the lovely mare nude again. She laughed lightly and said, "Whatever you say stud." She quickly removed her dress and laid it on a chair in the corner to keep it from getting wrinkled, and took off her bra and panties.
Dan was admiring her figure again, but this time Claire could see his expression was not one of lust, but one of caring. He indicated that she should lie across the bed face down. The mare soon found a comfy position and laid her chin on her clasped hands. "Is this okay?" she asked.
"Perfect," Daniel replied and went to sit down along side her shoulders. He started at her neck working lightly but firmly, smoothing away the tension in her muscles. He was down to her shoulders by the time Claire started to loose herself and relax under the donkey's skilled fingers. She sighed deeply and closed her eyes, letting him work his magic on her body.
Daniel continued down her back, pressing the heel of his palm into the broad muscles and kneading away the tensions she had been accumulating. She moaned softly as he worked further down her spine and reached the base of her tail. The donkey was smiling to himself, lost in his work. His only thought was on relaxing the sensual female below him and taking away the worries on her mind.
He spent an extra minute massaging her firm rump, both of them enjoying it, before he moved down her powerful legs. He spent a couple of moments on her feet and ankles before he was finished. Daniel moved back up and leaned across her shoulders, nuzzling into the spot behind her ear and murmured, "How was that?"
She smiled and said, "Mmmm, that was soo good Danny, thank you!"
He nibbled on her ear and replied, "My pleasure."
She giggled and turned on her back under him saying, "Speaking of pleasure..." She ran a hand up under his shirt and he sat upright and grinned. They both knew what the other was thinking and Daniel briefly stood up to remove his clothing. She looked over his body and sighed happily when he sat back down and pressed his mouth to hers, giving her a kiss.
Breaking the kiss a few seconds later, Daniel looked into her warm and passionate eyes and asked in a sincere tone, "Can I make love to you?" She simply stroked his cheek and nodded slowly. The donkey smiled and kissed her again before they both climbed fully onto the center of the bed.
Daniel was perched between her outstretched legs and gazing upon the beautiful form before him. She was leaning back with her arms reaching above her head and smiled at him sweetly. He slowly went down to her stomach and planted small light kisses over her abdomen and made his way down to her crotch. He continued planting kisses over her inner thighs and all around her mound.
His penis was becoming firmer with every kiss he planted, and it was soon standing erect as it hardened with his building passion. Claire was shifting under him and cupping her breasts in soft gasps when Daniel let his fingers play across her waiting vulva. He ran a fingertip through the cleft of her lips and found she was more than ready for him when his finger came away dripping.
Daniel nodded when she gave him a look of want and sidled up her body till the tip of his manhood pressed lightly at her entrance. "Oh Danny!" Claire moaned lightly and he let out a shuddering sigh as he very slowly pressed his hips into her, and his dick slipped past her pouting lips.
The donkey took his time thrusting slowly and methodically, deliberately drawing out the pleasure of sinking his cock into her depths for the both of them. Daniel was nuzzling her breasts and she squirmed under him in obvious pleasure, as he slowly pressed the last few inches into her and the two murmured in unison. They held each other for a few moments enjoying the touch of their bodies melding together before Dan began his slow pace of mating his mare.
The donkey kept his steady pace, relishing the feeling of her slick love muscles contracting around him as he pulled and pushed. Claire was running her hands over her lover's back and would squeeze his buttocks when she felt an occasionally strong jolt of pleasure course through her.
"Oh my sweet donkey, you feel so good!" she was moaning into his ear.
He murmured deeply and nuzzled into her cleavage, his pace quickening. Claire was now thrusting in time with his hips, causing his balls to slap heavily against her butt. The pair moaned and clutched each other as their pace quickened further. Daniel could feel the tell tale signs gripping his loins, and he could sense she was approaching her climax.
The mare was uttering a stream of small "oohs" and Dan was grunting as he felt his glans expand inside her once more. A soft wet squelch was heard every time Dan thrust into her and as he felt her wetness grip him tighter than ever, he exploded inside her. He rammed his dick in as far as he could manage and let out a passionate "Oooooohhhugghhh..." as he filled her with his donkey seed.
Claire squeezed her pussy around him and climaxed as soon as she felt his shaft twitch and the first jet of hot cum splashed her insides. She squealed out and clutched Daniel to her chest, shuddering as he continued to spurt inside of her. Moments passed as the two kissed passionately and rode out the wave of their respective orgasm. When Claire gave a final shudder, Daniel pulled out of her and crawled to her side.
She turned towards him and stroked her fingers down his chest saying, "That was wonderful, Daniel." He smiled and stroked her cheek, "You are wonderful, Claire."
The pair lay facing each other for some time and the sun sank lower in the window. When Claire snapped her eyes open suddenly, she realized it was already dusk and quickly looked at the clock that read 4:48 pm.
"Oh crap!" she blurted out and Daniel jerked awake with a start. She giggled at the confused donkey and said, "Sorry, sweetie! I didn't mean to scare you." He rubbed his eyes and looked up at the failing light and laughed, "Whoops, guess we fell asleep."
She grinned and kissed him, "Thank you captain obvious!"
He giggled and reached over to attack her stomach with tickling fingers. She whooped in surprise and squirmed and tried halfheartedly to hold back his hands. As the two wrestled, they laughed and joked with each other. When Claire finally rolled over on top of Daniel, she sat on his stomach and pinned his hands behind his head.
He struggled briefly not wanting to give up the fight just yet, but she defiantly held him in place with an amused smirk. He finally lay still and she looked down at him with raised eyebrows, "Truce?" He nodded. She grinned and planted a kiss on his nose before she rolled off of him and they both stood up.
As they once again slipped into their clothes, an idea was forming in Claire's mind. She turned to him and said, "Hey Danny, how about if I cook you some dinner? Sort of a going away meal." She fluttered her eyes at him and gave him that radiant smile again.
"Yeah, I'd like that a lot," he replied.
"Okay," she said, "do you think you can go out for a little while? I want it to be a surprise." He nodded at her and said, "Sure, there is a mall not too far from here I can go hang out at. Just text me when you are ready."
"'Kay," she said with wink.
He hugged her tightly and gave her another kiss. "I'll see you in a little while, filly," he said with a definite note of affection in his voice.
She stood for a moment and waved after him till his tail disappeared out the door, then she went to the kitchen to begin preparations.
Daniel made is way over to the nearby mall, which only took him about 15 minutes or so to park and enter one end of the shopping center by the food court. A sudden idea struck him, and he went to consult the marquee listing all the different stores in the mall. Finding the store he was looking for, he quickly analyzed the map to figure out the best way to reach the shop on the other side of the building.
Deciding that he had some time to kill, the donkey leisurely strolled through the busy corridors weaving in and out of the throngs of people meandering off on their own tasks. He looked in shop windows and briefly stopped at the game store to see what was new, but continued on when nothing got his interest. He passed by the open storefront of a florist and stopped to look at their selection.
He wanted to pick up some flowers to give Claire before she left, but he was unsure of what kind she might like. He seemed to debate with himself about getting some red roses, since he knew that was a significant gesture and he was not wholly sure he was ready to tell her his feelings his body already knew, but his brain was not ready to admit. When he shifted his gaze between a bouquet of roses and an arrangement of purple orchids, the clerk recognized the look in his face and asked him, "Can I help you with something?"
Daniel mumbled, "Uh, I'm not sure. I can't decide what I want to get," not really making eye contact with the clerk. The attendant, a lovely middle aged female Otter wearing glasses, said in a light Irish accent, "Is she pretty?" Daniel jerked his head up in surprise and shifted his feet, asking in a slightly amazed tone, "How could you tell?"
"Woman's intuition," she grinned back. "So, is she pretty?" she persisted.
Daniel's expression spread into a warm fuzzy smile and he said, "She is more beautiful than a summer sunset."
The clerk nodded and placed a hand on his arm, giving him a knowing smile, "Then you need some roses." When Dan looked unsure, she looked into his eyes over her glasses and said softly, "Trust me, you want to give her roses." The encouragement made up his mind and he said with confidence, "Okay, give me half a dozen red roses."
The otter smiled at him and said, "Excellent! I'll go prepare them fresh for you. Just wait right here lad, I'll be back in a few minutes." Dan nodded and let her disappear into the back, while he browsed the rest of the store. Before he knew it the otter was waving him over to the counter.
"Here you go laddie," she said holding up the arranged bundle of fragrant roses, some of which still had drops of water on their petals. She gave him a grin and said in a whisper, "I wrapped them up in a large silk ribbon bow. You can give that to her after you present the flowers." He replied with a note of gratitude, "Thank you, I know she will love them." She smiled at the donkey departing her shop after she had rung up the flowers. "That boy is definitely in love," she said to the arrangement of lilacs sitting next to her on the counter.
Daniel continued his way through the mall cradling the bundle of roses in his arm, occasionally taking a smell of their fragrance. He was finally nearing the end of the mall with the store he was in search of, an FAO Schwarz. The donkey grinned as he walked into the store, remembering the many occasions he had stopped by. Knowing exactly what he was looking for, he politely dismissed the store clerks that were asking if he needed help finding something.
Making his way towards the back wall of the store, he soon came to the stacked shelves packed with stuffed plush toys. Searching around for a moment, he found the section of equines. Digging through the overflowing bins, he pulled out a familiar looking large gray plush with incredibly soft fur, whose features where surprisingly similar to his own. The plush was fairly large and looked like it would be about 18" high when sitting, and he gave it an experimental hug. 'Perfect!' he thought and grinned at the smiling plush donkey he was holding before making his way up to the front counter.
He was greeted by an extremely cute, but short, Cheetah wearing a pink bow tied around her right ear. She smiled and said, "Did you find everything okay?" Daniel smiled and nodded as she rung up his purchase. The girl noticed the bundle of flowers he was cradling and looked from the plush to Daniel and back again. She giggled and squeezed the plushy before putting it in a bag, and asked, "Got a date tonight?"
Daniel cleared his throat nervously and said, "Yeah, sort of." Just as the perky cheetah was holding up his bag for him he grinned and asked, "Um, I know this might sound weird, but do you think you could help me do something real quick?"
Her face split in a wide grin and she said excitedly, "Sure! What do you need?"
He turned his head to the side and showed her his own faint stripes in his mane and said, "See these?"
She "ooohed" in admiration as Dan continued, "Do you have anything I could use to give my little buddy there the same stripes?" The girl tapped a claw against her teeth for a second in thought before replying, "Hm, I think we might have something that will do the trick. It's in the store closet in the back, though. Hang on!" She disappeared into the storeroom briefly and appeared holding a white bottle.
Upon closer inspection, Daniel saw that it was a bottle of white shoeshine. The girl dug the plush out of the bag and flopped it down on the counter, and using Dan as a reference she gave the plush similar stripes down it's mane. When she finished, she blew on the dye briefly before placing the plush back in the bag and handing the bundle to Dan. "Thank you very much, uh, Cindy," he said looking at her name tag.
"Anytime," she replied with a cute wink and a flick of her tail.
Daniel departed the store with the roses on one arm, the plush on his other and a huge grin on his face.
He was working his way back across the mall towards the parking structure intending to wait in his car for Claire to text him, when his phone beeped its tri-tone alert at him. "Well, speak of the devil," he said as he pulled his phone out. He flipped it open and saw: "Hi donkey! Hope you are hungry. Dinner is almost ready so you can come back any time now. Love, C" He punched the "reply" button and sent: "K, I'm OMW now."
He dropped the phone back in his pocket and had a definite lift in his step as he briskly made his was back to his car. Several minutes later, he was on his way back to the apartment. When he arrived, he got lucky and found a spot right out front and took it as a good omen.
He punched the gate call box for #5 and waited for Claire to buzz him in. He found the door already open a crack and stepped inside. Seeing that the mare was still shuffling around in the kitchen, he quickly stashed the plush beside the couch out of sight. He walked in with the roses held behind his back and called out, "Luuusseeee! I'm hooo-oomme" in a very bad Ricky Ricardo impression.
Claire sauntered over to him excitedly and wrapped her arms around him to give him a kiss. She quickly noticed he was holding something behind his back and leaned her head over his back and gasped in surprise, "Oh Danny!" He smiled and presented her with the roses, and she was nearly gushing when he said, "I got these for you, sweetie." She was practically speechless for a moment and just stood there staring at the flowers with a dreamy expression and squeezed his hand tightly.
A moment later the stove timer "dinged!" and she broke out of her spell setting the flowers down gently on the table. "Can you find something to put those in?" she asked Dan as she opened the stove and pulled out the dish she was cooking. "There should be a vase under the sink," she added when he started to look around for a container. He dug under the cabinets and came up with a simple vase holder, and he filled it with a little water before putting the roses in. He undid the red silk ribbon and paced across the floor to where Claire was checking her dish. She nodded in satisfaction and turned off the stove when Daniel grasped her arm and turned her around.
"Here, put this on," he said reaching up to tie the silk around her ear similar to the way he had seen the cheetah girl wear her ribbon. She smiled and let him finish the bow and let the tails of the ribbon fall across the side of her face. She looked absolutely gorgeous. "How does it look?" she asked glancing up at the ribbon she could not quite see. Daniel just smiled and said, "You look beautiful."
She kissed him and said, "Thanks, sweetie! We'll have to let the pasta cool for a minute but I have the rest of the stuff ready to go."
She pulled out a bowl of salad from the refrigerator and butter for the bread, placing each on the table where she had laid out place mats and utensils. Somehow Daniel had missed the candles waiting to be lit when he placed the vase of roses on the table. Claire motioned him to sit down and set a glass of water before each of them, and brought the main dish over to the table. Daniel sniffed and smiled, "Mm, that smells good, what is it?"
"Stuffed pasta shells, I have not made it in a long time. Hope you enjoy it," she replied, and lit the 4 candles she had arranged along one side of the table. She clicked the light off and joined Daniel at the table. He smiled at her through the flickering light and said, "This is lovely, thanks for making dinner."
She grinned and scooped out a portion of pasta saying, "You're welcome! Let's eat, I'm hungry!"
The candlelight diner was enjoyed as the pair talked softly and Claire described some of the dishes she could make rather well. Daniel listened intently, enthralled by her voice as she spoke. Claire finished commenting on the last time she had fixed her green bean casserole at Thanksgiving, and noticed that Dan had focused on her completely and seemed to be in a partial trance. He was still holding a forkful of food hovering over his plate, his face wearing a rather silly looking smile.
Claire giggled softly and said, "Earth to Danny?"
He blinked his eyes a couple of times and said, "Huh?"
She stood up and came around to his side of the table, clearing away his plate saying, "I think we are done, you obviously have other things than food on your mind." She bumped her hips into him lightly as she turned to the sink, leaving Daniel blinking and he distractedly wiped his mouth with the napkin. He started to scoot his chair back from the table, when Claire said, "Where you going, cowboy? We still have dessert." He nodded and smiled as she brought out a small container of strawberries.
"I know it's not much, but all I could do on short notice," she said popping the plastic shell open and picking a plump one off the pile. Daniel nodded and selected a strawberry of his own and bit into the sweet morsel. Several bites later the two of them needed their napkins as juice was smeared around their lips. They each giggled and took turns feeding the sweet fruit to each other.
Several more bites later, Claire wiped her mouth with satisfaction and planted a strawberry flavored kiss on his lips. Dan enjoyed it thoroughly. The two blew out the candles and left the table to sit on the couch cuddling, murmuring to each other about how cute they thought the other's features were. Daniel was caressing his hand over the top of her thighs, and Claire was busy running her hand up and down the donkey's crotch.
Claire was beginning to nibble on Dan's ear and rub with a bit more pressure, when the front door locks begin clicking open. She sighed in slight frustration and muttered a "Doh!" and stood up off the couch to meet Sally as she entered the apartment.
She nearly crashed into Claire when she looked up and let out a startled, "Oh! Hi, Claire. Sorry I'm late, I should be ready to go in-"
Sally broke off mid sentence as she stared through the dim living room at the donkey sitting on the couch. He smiled and waved, and Sally said, "Ooh," with a more understanding grin on her face. Claire also broke out in a smile and reached behind Sally to flick on the lights before saying, "Sally, this is Daniel Black. I met him at the party the other night."
"Well, hello there!" She said.
Daniel said, "Nice to meet you."
"You too!" Turning back to Claire, Sally tapped her watch and said, "You going to be ready to go soon, girl?" She sighed dejectedly and said, "Yeah, I just need a minute to stuff my junk in the suitcase." She leaned closer and said in a softer voice, "I also want to say good bye to Danny."
Sally looked over Claire's shoulder and then at her watch, but she smiled sweetly and said almost too obviously, "I gotta go put my stuff in the bedroom, I'll be back in a minute." She winked at the mare and gave a lingering stare at Daniel as she made her way back to the bedroom. Claire turned around and rolled her eyes at Dan, who laughed and said, "Come here for a sec, I got a present to give you."
He stood up and retrieved the bag from the side of the couch and covertly extracted the plush. Claire waited patiently with her hands clasped at her waist before he turned around and held the plush donkey in his outstretched hands. The mare nearly squealed as she snatched the plush out of Daniel's hands and crushed the mini donkey to her chest. "Oh my gosh, he is soooo cute!!" She was squeezing the soft donkey again when she looked down and gasped in surprise, "Oh wow! He has stripes like you too!"
"You like him?" Daniel said in amusement.
"I LOVE him!!" She said nuzzling the plush's nose the same way she would Daniel. "I'm going to name him 'Danny the Donkey'," she said with an excited giggle. She pulled Daniel into a hug with 'Danny' squished between them, and kissed him firmly.
"Thank you, Daniel, that is so sweet of you."
He smiled and tweaked Danny's furry muzzle, "Well, I just wanted you to have something to remember me by." He looked up into Claire's eyes and said, "I guess it is my way of saying that I love you."
"Oh Danny!" she said and wrapped her arms around his neck overcome with emotion. She squeezed him so tight he actually had to pat her on the back, "Claire, sweetie, your going to crush me." She sheepishly let go of him and gave an embarrassed chuckle, "Sorry, stud." He smiled and said, " Fuhgeddaboudett." The mare laughed and ruffled his ears fondly.
Sally had been secretly listening at her door, and when the pair had broken their embrace she emerged and called out, "Alright, Clarice McKenneh, you ready to head out?" Claire quickly checked her bag and made sure all her clothes where there and called out, "Yeah, I'm ready." She turned back to Dan and said, "Walk me out?" He nodded and picked up both of their bags while she called over her shoulder, "I'll meet you out at the car, 'kay?"
"'Kay!" Sally called back as the pair went outside.
Claire led Daniel to where Sally's car was parked. He set the suitcase down and squeezed her hand. "I really had a good time, Claire. I am so glad I met you." Daniel could see tears welling up in her eyes and pulled her close and said, "Don't cry sweetie, I'll see you again soon." He brushed a tear from her cheek and she brightened a bit. "You mean you will come and see me?" she sniffed. He nodded and smiled and said, "I look forward to it my precious filly. Consider the plans already made."
She smiled back at him and kissed him sweetly, "I love you, Daniel."
He stroked her cheek and said, "I love you too, Claire."
The lovers shared a lingering hug, but when Sally came out jingling her keys, the two pulled away. Daniel said, "Let me when you get home so I know you're okay." She nodded slowly and was trying to keep from bursting into tears. He waved to her as he walked away slowly, "Bye, sweet mare." She held up Danny and waved his paw with her hand at him in her own good bye.
Dan stood for a moment as the girls got into the car (Sally had already tossed the suitcase in the back seat). He waved again as the car passed him by and went out the gate. Daniel stared after the car for a moment, heaved a sigh and made his way out to his own car, clutching his bag.
When Daniel arrived back at campus, he sat in his car for a few minutes in silence, recalling the events of the past couple of days. He could not get the image of Claire's wonderful smile out of his mind, not that he really wanted to. He sighed and brushed his hand across his eyes before grabbing his bag and headed back to the dorm room.
He was just putting his key to the lock when the door opened in front of him. It was Jane leaving and she said, "Oh! Hi Daniel. Claire's not with you?" He shook his head no.
"Nah, she had to go back home," he said with a downcast look.
"Oh," Jane said. "Well, when you talk to her again can you give her my number? You can get it from Mikey."
"Okay, will do."
Jane turned back to the tiger sitting on his bed and said, "Okay, I'll call you tomorrow fuzzybuns! I gotta run." She patted Daniel on the shoulder and smiled, "Bye Daniel, see you later." He just nodded and entered the open door. Mike was sprawled out on his bed in just his shorts. He was grinning with his eyes closed, and called out to Daniel, "Hey buddy. Back from the slumber party eh?"
When Daniel's only response was a grunt, Mike opened his eyes to see him toss his bag down in his computer chair and flop down on his bed. The donkey looked at his clock and noted it had only been 45 minutes since Claire had departed. The tiger stood at the side of Dan's bed and said, "Well?"
Dan looked at his roommate and said, "Well what?" He looked at the clock again and checked to make sure his phone was on. Mike noticed his glance and smiled a knowing smile saying, "Miss her already huh? It's no secret Daniel; you are totally in love with her. It's okay to admit it."
If it were anyone else Dan would have told them to bug off, but since he had shared quite a lot of personal talks with Mike he just sighed in confirmation. Mike tapped him on the leg and said, "Cheer up man, you will see her before you know it." Daniel nodded.
"I know, and I knew the time would come when I would have to say good bye for a while, but it does not make it any easier," he told his roommate.
"Tell me about it man. You remember when I was head over heals for that girl a couple of years ago when we were first roomies? Remember how much I moped about when she went on a week's vacation with her folks?" Daniel knew that Mike was trying hard to cheer him up, and he sat up and said, "Yeah I remember. But you made it through, so I guess I can too."
"Hell yeah, man. Just gotta get your mind off her for a bit. Speaking of which," he said and looked at the door remembering the lioness who had left a short time before. He shook his head saying "Janie said she was busy until next Friday, so I'll have to wait till then to see her. It's going to be a rough week." The tiger sighed a rumbling growl. Daniel tapped him on the shoulder, "Hey I need Jane's number. She wanted me to give it to Claire."
Mike stood and grabbed his phone from the nightstand and tossed it to Dan, "It's in there. Her last name is Brown."
"Okay," Dan replied and transferred the number to his phone. He tossed Mike's phone back and kidded his roommate, "Wow, you put her number in your phone this time, eh? Does that mean she is soon to be 'Mrs. Johnson'?" Mike flashed his toothy grin at the donkey, "Probably not, but I definitely want to see this girl again. She knows just how to tickle the tiger if you know what I mean." Dan shook his head and laughed.
"Oh yeah, I'm sure I'll mention it again, but I'm going to visit Claire during the summer, just FYI," the donkey said. "Sounds cool," Mike replied. "Whelp, I need to grab a shower and hit the sack. I got an early class tomorrow." Daniel nodded and said, "Alrighty, I need to look over some papers for next week's class. I'll try to be quiet." Mike said, "Sure, no problem," as he entered the bathroom and started up the shower.
Daniel hardly noticed when Mike exited scrubbing his fur dry; since he was wrapped up in making notes on a document he had open on his computer and had his headphones on. When he finally closed the document a short while later, he glanced over and saw that Mike had gone to bed and pulled his covers over his head. Dan grinned and pulled up his web browser checking some of the online comics he read. More time passed, and he felt his phone buzz in his pocket as he was reading online news articles. He quickly shot a glance at the clock and saw that it had been about two and a half hours since Claire had left.
The donkey flipped his phone open excitedly when he saw that Claire had texted him saying: "Made it home in one piece, everything is ok. Miss you already :("
He hit respond and sent back: "Glad you are ok. Miss you too, filly. I'll call you tomorrow when done with class"
A few minutes later he got another text saying: "K. Going to bed. Sweet dreams, love you donkey *kiss"
Daniel smiled and responded: "Nite. Love you sweet mare *kiss"
He laid the phone down on his desk and plugged it into the charger. He was wondering if he would be able to go to sleep after having spent the last two nights in the arms of the tall and shapely mare he had fallen in love with. With a shrug, Daniel powered off his computer and stripped to his briefs. He hopped into bed and snuggled with his plush husky wishing it was Claire. He drifted off to sleep with his thoughts lingering on her smiling face, and longing for the semester to be over so he could see her again.
Epilogue
** ** Dan was driving down the two lane interstate highway when he saw the sign indicating 2 miles to Dandelion, Claire's hometown. He was starting to get a little excited now that he was nearing his destination. It had been a long month wait.
He supposed that he could have come out for a visit, but his schedule did not match up with Claire's free time and they both were busy wrapping up school business after finals. Dan had already spoken to his counselor about next semester's classes and had made arrangements to room with Mike again. Claire had mentioned that she too had taken care of her schedule for next semester, and they agreed to discuss their free days to try and work out a way they could visit each other. One way or another, Daniel made a promise to himself that he would make it happen.
Daniel had called Claire almost every day since that weekend party, and usually emailed her if he could not talk to her on the phone. She frequently texted him little flirty messages, and he enjoyed her teasing him. He giggled to himself, recalling a particularly sexy text she had sent him and he nearly missed a turn he was so distracted.
The donkey scolded himself to focus, since it would not do to get lost so close to seeing his mare! He saw the next road he needed to turn on, and in a few minutes he was driving down the neighborhood of a sprawling apartment community. Claire had told him she lived in an 'apartment', but Dan saw that these were closer to free standing mini houses similar to villas. He immediately liked the area and began searching for Claire's number.
A moment later he saw the correct range of numbers, and parked outside of a short wall dividing the sidewalk from the 'community'. He grabbed his bag and left his car, walking down the winding path that constantly branched off to the front porches of each little unit. A couple of minutes, later he finally discovered the right path to Claire's place, unit 153. He dropped his bag on the porch and rang the bell.
"Just a minute," he heard her call from inside. A few seconds later he heard the latches unlock and she opened the door. Daniel stood on the porch grinning at her.
"EEEeee!!" she squealed and rushed out to squeeze the donkey in a crushing hug.
Daniel laughed and wheezed, "Claire! Lungs!"
She lessened her grip on him slightly and giggled in his ear, "Sorry babe got carried away! I'm surprised to see you, thought you would not get here for another hour?"
Daniel nodded, "Yeah, traffic was really light after I got out of the city limits."
"Yay!" she cheered. "Come on, let me show you the place." She dragged him into the house giving him barely enough time to snag his bag on the way in.
She gave him the tour, which took all of about 30 seconds. She took his bag and chucked it over in a corner, and literally picked him up and carried him into her bedroom. She deposited him on the bed and gave him that look of need. Daniel grinned for a brief second before the two raced to see who could strip faster. Claire won no contest since she was not wearing a bra or panties. The donkey laughed at her standing with a mock impatient look on her muzzle tapping her toe as he was still trying to shed his underwear.
"No fair, you cheated," Dan said and tossed his briefs at her.
"Damn right!" She said with a wink, and jumped on the bed pinning him down. She firmly pressed her hips into his body and stared down at him, her breasts bulging between their bodies. She pressed her nose against his and smiled.
"Hi donkey," she said in her cutesy voice.
"Hi horsey," he said back.
As the pair made up for lost time, the insects droned and buzzed outside in the warm summer air. The peace and quiet was only broken briefly when Claire yelled out, "Take me you big donkey stud!"
Daniel was going to enjoy his summer visit.
