#4 of Sweet Dee


Please be sure to read Sweet Dee, Chapters 1-3 first.

The thin tires of a bike squeaked as a family rode through the shade of the park. It was a perfect autumn day, the type where the glowed with their yellow leaves, igniting the park in a warm glow. A couple strode pass, splitting long enough for a jogger to hurry past. Off in the grass, some guy was throwing a Frisbee to his Labrador, the dog making an easy jump to catch it.

Then he threw it back.

It's been well over six months since the discovery of Mutant-One, a raccoon in San Francisco that was found running through one of the suburbs. The authorities found that the creature had run under a house as a normal raccoon, but began its mutation. Amazingly, the residence above heard the creature, but never thought to call animal control. It turns out they were illegal immigrants, afraid if any authorities came by, they risked being found. Instead, they fed the raccoon, but never ventured under, fearing it rabid or sick, instead waiting for it to die to remove it.

The night, the raccoon made its way out to find food, only to be discovered by a neighbor. Thinking it a drifter or a bum, the man came out cursing and yelling. The raccoon attacked, scaring the hell out of the man, only to take off down the street. He called the police, who found the raccoon a half block away, hiding. When the raccoon was corned, he attacked again, adding fuel to the fire.

Surprisingly, the creature wasn't killed. The police almost opened fire, but even after a few stray shots, animal control simply ringed and captured the frightened animal. It was moved away, but not until after all the major news networks captured dozens of videos and photos of the animal.

For weeks the world was on fire. Conspiracy theories exploded from all corners, alleging the government created them, by mistake, or intentionally. UFO's were invading, or the mutants were aliens. Some believed the creatures were the next step in evolution, caused by radiation, while others looked to God, seeing them as proof of his existence, or enemies sent by the devil.

Reports flooded in. Bodies were found. Mutants in the wild, or strays as they came to be called, were hunted or captured for science. People were looking for answers, but scientist couldn't figure it out fueling the men and women who spoke ill of the mutants.

Many stayed hidden, hoping the discovery would allow them to liberate those that were once their pets. Farmers with mutants spoke of how happy they were for the help, while a few police couldn't get over how happy they were their dog could tell them what they were seeking. Savannah lions in Africa, those few not killed out of fear, had become self appointed protectors of their territories, while a panda that had been living in a Chinese zoo was actually assisting the vets while they tried to find answers.

It was chaos.

Until someone stepped forward. Theron Bryson. He began an internet movement that, thanks to those like me, became a force to be reckoned with. Supports of these new animals and animal lovers both demanded protection for these new intelligent creatures. Byrson organized a march not only on Washington DC, but smaller marches all over the world, with these furry creatures and their friends by their side.

It's been a long couple of months. Politicians, urged by scientist and scared of their citizens, quickly passed legislation. No more furs were to be killed. Strays were to be captured for adoption or scientific study, though many still fought for equal rights with humans. It became a polarized issue, equal rights on one side, eradication on the other, with slavery, science, entertainment, and food in the middle.

It was clear where I stood. Dee was my baby. I wasn't about to let anything happen to her.

She tosses a Frisbee across the park to Kit, the feline moving and catching it. Kit has changed very little, having been almost fully matured at the time of her mutation. She and Jenny, her "Mistress" moved out a short while after the San Francisco incident, moving a short walk away, closer downtown to a nice big condo, and closer to her job but and to places for her and Kit to go to. Most major metropolitan areas, learning from previous bans, were quick to allow escorted mutants to their businesses, not wanting to alienate the customers to their competition. Of course, a few choose ignorance, banning the furs from coming in.

Kit makes a throw, sending the Frisbee flying. "Eep! Sorry Dee!" she calls out. Dee spins quickly and takes off, making a quick sprint as she leaps, catching the Frisbee. She tucks and rolls, hopping up as she laughs.

I chuckle as I watch from a nearby bench. Dee was so happy to be out, she wore me out sometimes. Of course, she didn't take to clothing very well, but with her ever growing body, she had to. I couldn't imagine the hell we'd face if she went out in public. A model walking around naked would attract less attention and fewer problems then if Dee did.

She has changed so much in such a short time. I mean, I knew in high school that some girls just matured, but Dee's transformation was astounding. She had gone from having the body of a budding teen that that of a beautiful woman. She stood to my chin, her body built like a runner, toned and strong, with gentle curved and enough weight on her not to look like some sick model they were parading for the fall fashions. The fact that a year ago she was just a chinchillia I found at the store sometimes seemed like a dream.

I can barley contain her when we go out now. Having been trapped for over a year, she wants to see it all. Almost immediately I took her to all of Chicago's landmarks, showing her everything. She developed the same love for the city that everyone living there does.

She started jogging, going out by the lake every day, no matter what the weather, part of why she had the body she had. She loved it, and I couldn't stop her if I tried. When she started, I was still worried for her safety, and tried to start to go with her, only to fall behind. Now, with my job, I'm only able to go with her occasionally, and even then I go on my bike to keep up.

I watch the sky grow dark. It was getting cold. I stand, zipping up. I envied the furs. Least they could stay a bit warmer in these Chicago winters.

Dee gave a soft giggle as she and Kit came jogging up, Dee looking at me with those big brown eyes that could make your heart melt. Both were breathing heavy from their game, Kit's tail moving behind her as she pulled her sweater a bit tighter over her chest.

"You ready to go Daddy?" Dee asks softly. No matter how old she gets or how much I beg, she won't stop.

I nod. "Yeah. It's getting late hun. As much as I want to stay out, Kit needs to get home, and so do we." Both gave a playful whine of disappointment, before breaking out in girlish giggles.

"Ok Daddy" Dee says, grabbing my arm as she smiles. We start walking, Kit spinning the Frisbee on her finger.

Later, I gently rap my fingers over my keyboard, staring at my computer. I have to review some code and prepare a report for tomorrow, but I couldn't focus. I rest my head on my hands and groan. This was a huge presentation, I was trying to convince the company I worked for to upgrade their entire system. Not bad for only a year out of college. Thankfully I knew the right people. Soon Dee and I would be able to move to a bigger apartment. Maybe a nice Brownstone if the price was right.

But staring at a computer screen all day has its effect.

I look up as I feel soft hands on my shoulders. Looking up I smile, sitting back in my chair as Dee's soft paws massage my shoulders. She must have just finished cleaning up after her wonderful dinner.

"Hey hun" I say softly.

"Hi Daddy" she says softly, moving her arms around my neck, hugging gently as she nuzzle the top of my head.

I smile softly, running my hand along her soft, furry arm. "Dinner was phenomenal. I can't even think straight."

She giggles softly. "That wasn't the dinner Daddy. That was the company."

I raise my eyebrow a moment before I laugh. Dee joins me a moment later, giggling softly as she leans down, nuzzling my neck, her soft whiskers tickling me as I grip her arm gently.

"Dee. No baby" I say softly, trying to protest. "I need to get this done."

"Please Daddy" she says softly, letting out a soft moan, her warm breath causing goose bumps on my skin. "I just want dessert."

I hold her arm as I feel her trying to move down over my chest. "No, Dee" I warn, turning my head to look at her as best I can, instead rubbing my face against her soft neck. I groan out softly as I take a deep breath, the scent of her body overwhelmingly sweet.

I gently release her arm as her paw reaches down, caressing my chest as I take a deep breath. This was a losing battle, and we both knew it. I can feel her soft paw rubbing my shirt, her soft lips forming kisses as she moves along my neck, teasing me slowly.

Finally, after what feels like an eternity, my mind gets enough blood to regain control. I grab at Dee's paw as she shifts back, pulling away from my neck. "Please" I pant out softly, groaning as I look back at Dee, resisting the urge to just get up and fuck her now naked form. "I need to get this done baby. Just... give me a half hour"

"Awwww" Dee pouts out, looking away as she begins to caress her stomach with her paw. She shifts her stance a bit, showing off her pink pussy, taking on a pouty look that she know will drive me wild. I don't know if she did things like that consciously, I didn't care. It only added to everything.

I focus on the screen, trying to finish the presentation, hearing Dee move, kneeling down next to me as she smiles, looking up at me with her big brown eyes. I try to ignore her, and her paw touching my leg.

Dee gives a soft giggle as she moves, getting under the desk as she runs her paws over my crotch, finding my hard cock. She coos out, looking up at me. She didn't say anything. She didn't have to. She just unbuttoned my fly, pulling out my boxer clad cock.

Really, one does not know how hard it is to think when you have a beautiful girl with the softest hands in existence rubbing your cock.

She smiles as she leans in, nuzzling my crotch as I grit my teeth and moan. She slips her paws into my pants, gripping my cock as I thrust up slightly, unable to stop myself. She moans out softly as she pulls out my cock, looking away from me as she eyes her prize.

Out of the corner of my eyes I can see her part her lips and take my cock in her sweet mouth. I had to bite my lip, and even that didn't suppress my moan. I focus hard, typing slowly as I feel her warm tongue lather the head of my cock with saliva. Tap-tap-tap go my fingers as she moans out softly, rubbing my cock harder as I take deep breaths. I open my eyes, focusing on the screen as I hit the delete key. I wrote something sexual. I need to focus.

Beneath me Dee was focused entirely on my shaft. Her warm mouth nursed gently on the head of my cock as she licked and sucked harder. She began to bob her head, taking more, showing of her deep throating skills as my breathing becomes faster.

My typing slows as I'm reduced to one hand, my other petting her soft ears gently. I run my fingers through her head, causing soft moans of pleasure to escape her as she bobs her head faster. My fingers tighten around her hair as I lean over her, my eyes closed as I moan and groan out loudly.

Finally I erupt, my cock exploding jet after jet of hot seed into Dee's waiting mouth. She squeaks out and smiles, pulling back and sucking the head like a straw, draining my cock of my cum as I lean back. I lie back, my hips tensing, forcing my cock into her mouth as she kneels between my spread legs, pressing her breast to me as she keeps her eyes closed, focused on the moment.

My screen saver turns on as Dee stands. She murrs in content as she steps around me, licking her lips. "Mmm, delicious" she says softly, her tail brushing my shoulder as my cock hangs limp between my legs. I turn, watching her hips sway as she makes her way to the bedroom.

My fingers fly over the keyboard, my computer lighting up for a moment before shutting down. I stand, kicking off my pants and boxers, shucking my shirt to the side as I move quickly.

I catch Dee in the short hall before the bedroom, watching her form silhouetted in the dim light. I can see the curves of her breast, her tail upright behind her, leading down to her firm buttocks, then down her long legs. I move up behind her, grabbing her hips as she squeaks out, turning as I press to her soft back.

"Oh, Daddy" she pants out, reaching up and running her paw along me cheek. I lean in, nibbling her neck gently as she gasps softly, tensing up and pushing back.

I step back as she turns a bit, watching me. I reach under her, lifting her up as she squeaks in surprise. "Ahhh, Daddy" she giggles out, wrapping her arms around my neck as I hold her legs and back. She murrs softly and leans in, kissing my cheek gently, working down to my neck as she nuzzles me, pressing to me hard as I carry her off to the bedroom.

The next morning the sun streams through the blinds. I dress quietly as Dee remains curled up in the bed, hugging a pillow tightly. With a soft click, I close the door, taking care not the wake her.

I shove my keys in my pocket and make my way to the elevator. I can see one of my neighbors, a shorter woman with darker features. Short curly hair, round face. Never really spoke with her. Just a practiced master of minding my own business.

I smile and nod as I stop in front of the elevator, waiting for it to reach us. I watch the door, but she keeps looking at me. Finally I turn, giving a slight smile. "Do I have something between my teeth?" I joke, hoping to break this awkward silence she has created.

"You're the young man with the mutant."

It was hard to ignore the twinge in my gut. "Yes. I take care of her" and I make a point to emphasize her. The elevator dings as the door opens. Like a gentleman and despite the uneasiness in my stomach, I smile and motion for her first.

She turns and hits the button for the lobby as I follow. "How long have you had her?" she asks.

"A year. She may have been one of the first."

"You must be proud."

"I did nothing. It was chance."

She huffs a bit. "You've kept her a well kept secret."

I chuckle. "It wasn't easy." I still come home to have Dee pounce me at the door. And she refuses to wear any clothing at all when she's at home.

"I've heard strange things about these owners who kept their mutants after it started. Reason why they didn't seek help or even why they didn't kill the animals at the first signs." She looks at me. "Are any of them true?"

How the hell do you answer that? I just sigh and shake my head. "All I know is why I did it."

The elevator opens as she steps out. "Why is that? So you can fuck her?"

It took me a moment to close my mouth. She was gone before my mind could fully comprehend what she said. I made my way to the bus and got on, feeling numb.

She did just say so I could fuck her. That I knew. I couldn't believe it though. She must have heard. So did she just assume? People assume, and it is true, a few people have been ousted when it was discovered they had sex with their furriers. No one knew if they should be punished, many wanted to try, but lawyers made the wonderful point that no one had yet defined a furry as a human or as an animal.

But this woman had just assumed I was fucking Dee. I was yes, and she... was the best. It was a strange realization to have on the bus riding to work, but I really loved having sex with Dee. Despite the tail and fur.

That night, I came home with a new resolve. I just kept thinking about Dee all day. About her beautiful eyes, her soft curves, her firm butt. I ran through every time she had gone down on me, every time she'd ridden my cock. I even thought about when she and Kit decided on a threesome. Yes, Jenny had been mad at me, but it was so fucking hot. The sight of Kit licking at Dee while she bucked and moan...

Dee didn't have time to pounce on me tonight. I was in the door and kissing her before she could stand up.

It couldn't have been more perfect. She had just finished a dust bath and cleaning herself when I arrived. She was about to start dinner, but my lips on hers quickly extinguished that thought.

She pulled back and moaned softly, rubbing gently at my arms as I hold her sides firmly. "Daddy?" She whispers softly, a little breathlessly. "What... brought this on?"

"I've just been thinking about you all day" I say softly, leaning in and kissing her face gently, making her moan and squeak softly.

She moves and presses her body to mine, running her paw up to my head and pulling me into another kiss. "I've been thinking about you too" She says softly, smiling as her brown eyes meet mine. I tighten my grip on her, wrapping my arm around her as she moans softly, grinding her crotch to mine. She leans in and kisses my neck gently, giving soft little pants as dinner becomes the last thing on both our minds.

I pull back quickly and slide my arm under her legs, lifting her up as she squeaks again. She giggles softly and nuzzles me. "Mmm, I think I know where this is going" She teases softly. I carry her easily to the bedroom, laying her down on the bed. She drags her fingertips over her supple form as she watches me quickly strip of my shirt and pants.

I kneel onto the bed, leaning in and kissing her deeply. Our tongue fight for control as she shifts in the bed, moving closer to me, until at last I feel her heavenly soft fur touch my skin. I feel myself shiver a bit as my lust grows.

I push her up on the bed a bit, breaking the kiss as she pants out breathlessly. "Ohhh god Daddy... Oh yes!" She moans as my hand finds her breast, cupping her firm orb gently, feeling the weight in my hand as I bring it to my lips. Dee squeaks out loudly, biting her lip as she makes no attempt to suppress her moans. Her paws finds my head, running through my hair as she lifts her body off the bed.

I push to her gently, lifting us both up. Now I lean there, holding Dee's back, supporting her as I nibble her nipple gently, feeling her trembling with each gentle nip. I switch breast, making her squirm under me, feeling her wiggling up my legs, her crotch pressing to me as she starts to hump and grind.

Our hips start roll and dance together, her moans and squeaks setting the beat. I feel her crotch finally meet the budge in my pants, causing Dee to arch her back and give a long low groan while her hips continues to move. She grinds against my boxer-clad cock as I feel the warmth of her wet pussy soaking though. I growl out softly as she push against her, hearing her squeak and tremble softly. "Oh! Nyyah" she gasps out, gripping my head hard. I pull away from her breast as she looks at me, her eyes pleading, silently begging me, her paws reaching down to fondle me.

She reaches into my pants, grabbing my hard shaft as I lean down, groaning. Dee sits up, licking me face gently as she moans softly. She continues to nuzzle me, pushing me back as she shifts, moving higher up my legs, holding my cock firmly.

I return her affection, getting in the occasional soft kiss as we both moan and pants, our faces touching as her soft paws flies along my cock. She jerks me off hard, her wrist turning in just the right way, only fueling my passion.

I feel her shift in my lap, leaning back as she opens a bedside drawer. She digs for a moment and grabs a condom. I can't help but smile and nod. She tilts her head down, giving a soft pout before she pants softly. She unwraps the condom and quickly slides it over my cock. But now that that is done we can start to have some real fun.

I lean back, forcing her to move forward, keeping her cheek to mine as she pants into my ear. I know what she wants. I reach down, cupping her pert butt in my hands, pulling her up. "Mmm, yessss" she hisses out, pushing herself up on her knees as she rubs along my cock, trying to find the tip. I was rewarded with a long sigh of please as she found it.

My body trembles with pleasure as I feel warmth surrounding my cock. I close my eyes as Dee sinks down, lifting her legs and wrapping them around my back before she even hilted herself. She buries her head against my shoulder as she pants softly, listening to the low growl coming from my chest with every exhale.

As I feel Dee's crotch rubbing to mine, I begin moving my hips, pressing to her as I feel her shudder and squeak loudly, nipping down gently on my neck, making me tense up. She just shivers and moans, incredible warmth soaking me as I nuzzle her.

Giving soft kisses to her face she looks up at me. Our lips touch as she pushes against me. Her hips start rolling gently as our tongue roam each other's mouths. We continue to hump against each other, our movement's growing harder. My hands grip and rub her ass, lifting her higher along my cock, fucking her harder. She breaks the kiss and moans out, arching backwards before she leans in, nuzzling my neck.

Her teeth graze my neck as she kisses down to my shoulder. She only turns me on more, her sensual moans pushing me further. I nuzzle her, biting gently at her ear aqs she tilts her head up and kisses me.

I push her forward as we continue to kiss. I straighten out on her as she continues to wrap her arms and legs around me. I begin thrusting hard and fast in to Dee as she tilts her head back in the pillow.

The bed slaps to the wall as I feel every tremor through her body, her pussy squeezing my cock perfectly, another orgasm overcoming her as she shivers under me. I only grunt and pant, every nerve in my body sensitive to her silken soft fur tickling my body.

Finally, I can take no more. With one hard thrust I bury my cock inside her. She cries out and moans as I buck my hips, her cock erupting into the condom as I grunt and moan loudly. I feel Dee relax slowly, resting her head on my shoulder as I squeeze her tightly.

I can feel her fur brushing my forehead as I nuzzle her, licking her nose and lips gently as she half opens her eyes, panting out. She smiles softly as I open my eyes slowly.

She doesn't say anything. Neither do I. We just lie there like that for a few long moments, savoring the feel of our hot bodies against each other, feeling her pussy finally relax around my shrinking shaft.

I push off her slowly, Dee waking from her state as I fall to her side. Dee turns with me, pressing to me, wrapping her leg around my waist as I arms wrap around to her back. W just lie there, nuzzling each other gently as our hands explore the other's body.

She smiles and sighs softly. "I hope you're ready for another."

I chuckle, kissing her softly. "I need a little time hun. I don't have your stamina"

"Awww" she pouts playfully, still a little girl to me.

"Here... how about this?" I ask, pulling away from her a bit. I push her shoulder gently, urging her to her side as she looks at me curious.

"What are... mmm" she is cut off as my mouth kisses her breast gently. She moans and pants softly as I work my way down, kissing her taut stomach, spreading her legs gently. "Hmm?" She asked curiously, watching me. I only smile, giving her soft pussy a slow lick.

The result was instant. Dee's hips raised, trying to keep pressed to my face and tongue for as long as possible, a loud moan filling the room as Dee can't hold back. "Ohhhh Daddy!" she cries out. She quickly moans and humps down as I chuckle.

I'd never done this before. But her pussy looks so perfect. I quickly start licking at her, her fur tickling me as Dee bucks and humps down at me. "Oooohh! Oh Daddy.... Don't stop." She pants out loudly, accentuated only by squeaks.

A loud knock at the door pulls me up, leaving Dee panting. I look at her. Now who the hell was that? I could see Dee glaring at the door. I knew she wouldn't and couldn't, but she looked ready to attack whoever had interrupted her fun.

I quickly stand up and make my way to the door, grabbing my robe. I open the door to see my neighbor from before. I gulp a bit, suspecting we may have been to loud, an odd thing since they never complained about anything else.

"Is something wrong?" I ask, trying to figure out what she wanted.

"I thought I heard something" she said simply.

This woman was starting to bug me. "Yes, it's amazing how people make noise."

She glares at me. "Are you and your mutant doing something in there?"

I'm standing there in a robe, I know she's trying to lead me on. "Yes we're making dinner."

"Then why are you in a robe?"

"I was in the shower when you knocked."

"Then why didn't your mutant answer?"

Gee, I wonder. "Because she wouldn't have opened the door. She knows not to open the door for any strangers."

"You two don't sound like you're making dinner. You sound like you're having sex."

I shift a bit. It didn't matter how I answered, she knew. But I didn't care. She was bugging me. She went out of her way to tell me this. I meant that literally, my apartment is at the end of a short hall. She lived on the other side of the floor. "I'm really amazed, you have fabulous hearing. You could hear us from the other side of the building?" I asked, my voice dripping with sarcasm.

She just glares at me. "Don't sass me young man. What you're doing is filthy. You should be thrown in jail."

Great, this is the last thing I need.

"Look lady..." I say, crossing my arms. "I really don't give a shit about you or what you think. Dee and I are both adults, and if you think you can come in here and try to tell me what I can and can't do, then you need to stop coming down here and listening to my door. If you have a problem with me, tough."

"What you're doing is filthy, and to force us to listen to it everytime..."

"What are you talking about?! These walls are thick plaster, and you're on the other side of the building. You can't hear a thing!"

"I can, every time I walk by. And I won't stand for it, there are children in this building." Yeah, a family or two. Everyone else was younger then thirty. And I know about a couple of things in this building and that people do that would probably kill this woman.

"Well you know what, those kids don't come anywhere near my apartment. You should follow their lead." And with that, I slam the door in her face. There was nothing else to say.

She wasn't through though. She bangs on the door loudly. "We won't stand for this! You're a sick man and we're going to stop you." I could hear her storm away.

I step into the living room to see Dee standing there. "What was that Daddy?"

For a second, I could see why the woman thought I was sick. "Just one of the neighbors sweetie."

"What did she want?"

"To complain. She doesn't like the fact we're sleeping together.

"She can hear us?" Dee asks, a little surprised. She giggles softly. "I guess I am a little loud."

I chuckle. "You are. But she's just being a bitch. She probably doesn't like mutants, so she's lashing out at who ever she can."

"Oh." She says softly. "I'll bet if she got to know me she'd like me."

I only wish that was true.

The rest of that day was quiet for us. We didn't go back to the bedroom, not immediately. The neighbor had just killed the mood. We continued later, just as passionate as when I'd come home.

It was the next few days that didn't seem to go as seamlessly. Everyday when I left, I got more and more strange stares from neighbors. Actually, one kept grinning at me. Gave me a thumbs up one day. I don't know what freaked me out more, the people who hated me or the people who liked me.

"Jenny, seriously, I'm a little worried." I'm sitting at my desk one day at work, talking quietly.

"You're just being paranoid. We all get strange looks. You should see how people look at me when Kit calls me Mistress."

"I could only imagine the hell I'd catch if one of these people heard Dee call me daddy." I sigh softly.

"Matt, don't worry about them. This is still very new."

"Just makes me feel alone, you know. I know there are other people like use who have furries, but now with you moved out, I'm the only in the building. I feel out numbered."

"Well then you should find some support. You know there are lots of groups where you can meet other furries and people. Kit and I have been going to one ever so often at a place called the Red Note. Have you heard of it?"

"No, sounds like a club."

"It is. It's a jazz club down on Dearborn near Ontario. They do a kind of Furry Social Night. Live music, discount drinks, and people and furries who can get together and connect. Why don't you come with Kit and I?"

It sounded like a nice offer. And Dee and I could use a chance to meet more people.

"Alright. So where do we sign up?"

A few days later, I led Dee out of the apartment. She was only slightly dressed up, wearing a slim black dress and jacket, as well as a little eyeliner. I only had a sports jacket and t-shirt. Dee had refused to wear any less. I don't know where she got it, but she had a sense of style. She just knew what worked for her. And she looked beautiful.

Her heels clicked as we walked to the elevator. She giggles softly, leaning in and kissing me as we wait. There is the sudden sound of a yell from one of the rooms nearby. We both look at where it came from, then at each other.

"Must be watching the game" I joke. Except now there is another voice, fighting with the first. The elevator opens as Dee tries to lead me in, but I can hear one of the voices say mutant, and that stops me.

I let go of Dee a moment and walk to the door where the voices are fighting. There is a group in there, one voice trying to stay calm, but another... the neighbor woman.

"You're making a big deal out of all this Emma. I've hardly seen this guy or his mutant."

"That's because their in there having sex all day. It's disgusting. Having sex with a creature like that."

"We don't need to hear details of what you think is going on."

"I'm not giving details Jim but you know there is something going on."

"I know there is, but what are you proposing we do? Kick him out for raising his pet?"

"How about for having sex with his pet. We don't need sex offenders in this building. We can stop this before it escalates."

Escalates? I ask myself. This woman think I could become a rapist or something because of Dee. I am so sick of this.

I pull back, about to slam down on the door when I feel Dee touching my back gently. "What is it?" she asks softly.

I turn, looking at her. I feel calmer, but I can still hear Emma ranting in the room. I knock firmly on the door. Everything stops in the room, and a moment later the door opens.

A younger man, a little taller then me opens the door. Inside, I can see several people, including Emma, the neighbor woman as she sits glaring at me.

"Can I help you?" The man ask. Everything shifts as Dee moves from behind me. Everyone suddenly realizes who I am.

"If you have a problem with me or with Dee, you could at least say it to us." I look at each person in turn, making sure to make eye contact. "If you have a problem with Dee, I'd like to know what it is. If you have a problem with me, tell me, instead of bitching behind my back. If you have a problem with our relationship, tough. Deal with it. I'm not changing, and I'm not going to get rid of her just because you people think she's less then you." I look right at Emma. "Mind your own business."

"Fuck you." She spits out.

I glare at her, staring her down. "If the rest of you want to talk, if any of you have a problem, my door is always open. You're welcome to come by for a beer. Except you" I say, nodding at Emma. "Just stay the hell away from us."

I look at each person again, some averting their gaze, a few looking like they might just take my offer. I turn, wrapping my arm around Dee's waist as she pushes close to me, the door closing behind us as we go back to the elevator.

I just hold Dee as she nuzzles my shoulder, both of us walking into the elevator to go to the party. She smiles softly. "You said our relationship... Did you mean... I mean are we?"

I just smile at her. "I think so."

She giggles softly as she leans in, kissing me warmly, the doors closing as we head out for a night on the town.
