A Learning Curve - Part Eight

"Jack, I understand that the pressures of this job can be a lot. And, I understand that many men come into it like yourself thinking that it's a dream job. That it's heaven, to be able to have sex for money with a bunch of beautiful people."

Carter stared over his desk to where Jack was standing, the skunk's face warm but his eyes rather cold.

"But... you have to understand, this is a business. We operate on a strict schedule, and that schedule will be thrown severely off if you tell me what I think you're telling me. That you spent all night fucking your partner, and because of that... you can't work today because your cock is too sore. Is that, in fact, what you are telling me, Jack?"

The fox swallowed thickly, Nick not just putting on his best Jack impression for the moment, but his most sincerely bashful and repentant Jack.

"I know it was stupid, Carter. I knew when it was happening that we were getting carried away, but... I couldn't say no to her. Isn't that why you hired us in part? Because of our chemistry?"

The skunk's smile widened, and his eyes got colder.

"Yes, it is. But I hired you because I wanted that chemistry on film, not burned up in the privacy of your own bedroom. Jack. I need you to step up here. Even if it's a little sore, I need you to work through it."

Jack whined nervously and shook his head.

"Carter. Sir, with all due respect, I don't think I can. I tried. I mean... we tried, this morning. I didn't even twitch. Annie was giving me her best, a-and... nothing. I've tried to get it up a couple of times, but it wouldn't even stir."

Inwardly, Nick hoped that Carter wouldn't ask him to test that theory. That in itself would have been a definite breach of protocol of course, if not an outright subversion of any laws, but he still didn't want to hear it because it would call into question his story, and why he was trying to get out of his and Judy's sex scene today. It would call it into question because he really wasn't that sore, and he was more than capable of being with Judy or anyone else... just not today. Not here. Not on camera when he and the rabbit had so much to sort out in private.

"Goddammit, Jack. This is... you realise how much this is going to cost the studio. Me. Your colleagues. Yourself and Annie. We're all going to make less money on this project because of this."

The fox bowed his head in shame.

"I know. And, I'm sorry. If there was anything, anything I could do..."

He saw a flicker in the skunk's eyes in that moment out of the corner of his own.

"...anything I could do to make it work, I would."

Jack finished with all the sincerity he could muster, only to blush as he saw Carter's posture soften, and the skunk's eyes dart down towards the locked right bottom drawer of his desk.

"Anything, Jack?"

The fox furrowed his brow.

"Yeah, but... like I said, I've tried. Annie's tried. And, no offense to any of the fluffers on staff, Carter, but if Annie can't get a reaction out of me then I'm fairly certain no-one can."

Carter leaned in close.

"Have you tried anything... chemical?"

Jack blinked, nonplussed. Carter sighed.

"Viagra. Or, something stronger."

Jack's face flushed and his eyes went wide.

"Oh. Oh, shit. Uh, no. I honestly didn't even think about that. I never have before, so..."

Carter nodded in understanding, but didn't let the subject drop.

"If I was able to provide you with some, and it worked... what about then?"

The fox's heart-rate peaked a little, not just because beyond his naïve act Nick was still desperately trying to avoid being forced to entirely withdraw from the film in order to keep his and Judy's intimate relationship on track, but suddenly because he found himself precisely where an entire different section of his brain had wanted him to be for more than a week. About to bear witness to a potential crime.

"I... I haven't spoken to my doctor about anything like that. I wouldn't wanna just take some medication without..."

Jack didn't even get to finish that excuse before Carter was in the midst of smoothing over those concerns.

"Oh, don't worry. Viagra is the kind of stuff you can buy over the internet. You know what they say, so long as the result doesn't last more than four hours, you're fine. And if it does for some bizarre reason we've got medical personnel on staff and we'll get you to a doctor as soon as we can. You're in safe hands here, Jack. You can trust us. Can we trust you in return, to try your hardest to fix this problem so that we can all get back to work today? So that we can make this project the very, very best it can be with every second of time allotted to us?"

Jack took a deep breath. He looked Carter square in the eye, smiled gratefully to the skunk for all he had done... and shook his head.

"S-sorry, Carter. I just... I don't feel comfortable taking any kind of drugs, even over the counter ones, from someone I don't know very well. It's not you personally, it's just... well, it's a thing."

For a moment, Jack was certain that he was about to be fired. Beneath the skunk's fur he could see a vein pulsing in Carter's neck, and then...

"Fine."

Carter sank back into his chair with a warm smile, his eyes softening to match it at last.

"Fine. Like you said, we'll shoot the non-erotic scenes. But, try to relax and who knows, maybe your body will surprise you. Hell, I'll even make us some tea to ensure we start off the day calm, no hard feelings or boss-employee tensions, right?"

The fox sagged slightly in his chair in relief, and as before his eyes Carter reached down, unlocked the drawer of his desk and pulled forth a silvery bag of what looked like very high class loose-leaf tea, he smiled gratefully to the skunk.

"Thank you, Carter. You have no idea how much it means to me that you understand."

Carter chuckled as he rose to his feet and padded over to the kettle and other drinks-making facilities located on the far side of his office. Standing with his back to the fox, he began to boil some water and to measure out the tea, packets rustling as he did so.

"Oh, it's perfectly okay."

The skunk's eyes glinted as he stared down at the leaves in the bag before him, pouring a small portion into a mug to steep before filtering it out, while pulling forth a separate teabag from the drinks stand and starting to prepare his own drink with that.

"If it means a better movie at the end of the day, Jack... I'll do anything I can to make that happen."

*********

When Annie and Tessie reached the office, it took all the rabbit's willpower not to burst right through the door but instead gently knock upon it. When she did so, to her relief, it was Jack rather than Carter who called out, and he sounded in high spirits. The rabbit pushed her way into the office with Tessie close behind her, and Carter chuckled as he raised his teacup to the two new entrants.

"Ahh, Annie! And Tessie too, good to see you both, ladies. All ready for today's scenes, I hope? We've got a lot to do, haven't we Jack?"

The fox beamed as he drew his own cup up to his muzzle, slurped down the very last of its contents, and set it down on the director's desk even as he started to turn in his chair. He smiled warmly at the bunny, and his smile didn't fade in the slightest when hers did, seeing the glazed look in his eyes and the obvious tent already straining the front of his slacks.

"Mmm, hello Carrots... oops, guess we're not on stage, huh? Well, just call it practice."

He murmured, his voice not slurred but rich and gravelly as though he was a moment away from growling at any given instant. A second later he reached down, idly grabbed his crotch, and nodded towards it.

"Hey, Annie, look. Turns out all I needed to do was relax a little. So, now we can perform just like we wanted. Put on our scene for our adoring fans, and make love. Sweet, sweet love."

Tessie scowled at Carter, who regarded her with a shockingly savage look of his own a split-second before he realised Annie was looking his way and returned to a pleasant smile.

"Jack told me about his problem, so I just let him chat and relax here with me a little while. Turns out it must have just been performance anxiety, nothing a little hangout with one of the guys couldn't fix."

Annie put on her best winning smile to counter Carter's own, but before she could say anything the fox rose from his seat, stumbled slightly as though experiencing a head rush from the speed with which he did so, then lunged towards Annie with a playful snarl. He grabbed her off the ground, holding her tight by the ass, and lurched across the room with her until they hit the far wall. There they remained as with a deep growl he began to lick and kiss Annie all over her beautiful face, nipping at the base of her ears while his crotch ground against hers and he shamelessly, lustfully humped at her, back to the rest of the room and both Tessie and Carter within it.

"O-okay, Jack. Okay. I... I get it. Put me down now, please."

Annie gasped after over a minute of being lavished with attention by the fox for all to see, and finally he did as he was asked and set the bunny down again. Jack himself remained resting against the wall though, simply turning around on the spot and looking blankly around the room, eyes moving from Annie to Tessie then back again, fondling his swollen crotch without restraint once again in the meantime.

"I... I think we're ready as we're ever going to be."

Annie murmured, Carter grinning and nodding even as Tessie gasped, frowned and hurried over to where the rabbit was standing.

"Annie, I..."

She began, but the rabbit cut her off win a winning smile and a wide eyed, pleading stare when Carter couldn't see.

"It's okay, Tess. See? Jack's ready to go. So, we're gonna do this."

The bunny spoke with a conviction in her voice that had been entirely absent for her last conversation with the sheep.

"Trust me. We're ready to do this."

She echoed, reaching out and squeezing one of Tessie's hands tightly before looking over to the still broadly smiling skunk sitting behind his desk.

"I don't know what you had planned for the day, but... given the mood Jack's in right now, maybe the museum climax to start off?"

The skunk grinned, slipped down off his seat, and as he padded out from behind the desk no-one in the room could help but notice the tent in his own trousers as he walked.

"That sounds like a perfect plan."

Carter murmured happily, sweeping his tail from side to side in triumphant delight.

"Well, come on then my dear friends. Fame and fortune awaits us all, just one perfect performance away."
