#2 of Not a Hero

First episode of 'Not a Hero'.

Riley is now under Maximus' protection until further notice. He gets to meet some new individuals during his stay and maybe have a bit of fun, if he could~ ;3


The next morning, Riley woke up from the most relaxed sleep he's had in a while, sitting up on the bed and stretching out with a content groan. He looked around and it took him a second to realize where he was... and that he was alone in the large, bed. Made him feel quite tiny in comparison to the owner.

He crawled out of bed, remembering how naked he was and covering his crotch real quick, he found a note on the nightstand beside the bed which read 'A friend brought some stuff from your apartment for you. They're all in your room. Your host: Maximus.' then under it was a postscript. 'P.S. I instructed him to bring lots of fresh undies. Nice collection, btw. ;)' His face burned with a vicious blush, did Maximus really have to include that postscript?

He got out of bed, did another stretch before making his way out of the room, poking his head out of the door before speedwalking his way over, he figured that since the place had a lot of guest rooms it means that others have stayed or are staying here. His theory proved correct when he heard the sound of dance music coming from the room on the left of his, the door was slightly open, so, out of pure curiosity, he peeked inside.

The room had four bunkbeds settled on one side of the room, with a short flight of stairs in the middle for the ones up top, facing that directly was a pretty wide wardrobe with a desk beside it standing on the wall facing the door. But all of that aside, his eyes instantly fell on the rabbit that's dancing in nothing but his fur, hips swaying slowly and seductively to the music as he gently sang the lyrics along with the singer. He had a pretty lean build with some muscle definition to it, not to mention quite the fit, bubble butt with that ball of fur that was his tail wiggling cutely.

With a slight blush, Riley decided to leave the young man be and closed the door as quietly as possible. With that one closed his ears picked up melodic and quite therapeutic music coming from another room, this time it was the one facing the rabbit's. Not sure what came over him but curiosity won again and he peeked inside, he wasn't sure if it was pure curiosity or just gauging the type of people that Maximus keeps around his home.

The soft and oriental tune was pretty soothing, not to mention the faint smell of incense that calmed the nerve. This room was bigger in comparison to the rabbit's room, then again that one looked smaller due to the large furniture, but also this one had a low round table, one that you had to sit on the floor for, and a slime wardrobe. However, what made this room more unique was that on the wall that's left of the door, there were lots of displays for bladed weapons like katanas, daggers, katars, shuriken, even a kusarigama and a pair of nunchucks.

But what truly caught Riley's attention was the owner of the room. A rat with all-white fur with the same build as the rabbit earlier, his brown hair being shoulder length and styled into a smooth mohawk that's swept to the side with side fades, doing some yoga, also in the buff, bending and twisting his body into, almost, painful position, but the one thing that worried Riley was the various scars all over the rat's body, including scratches, bite marks, bullet wounds, blade scars, you name it. Suddenly, the rat went onto all fours, spread his legs, and arched his back... then lifted his tail, revealing what was clearly a butt plug with a jeweled base. Once again, his face burned with a hard blush, almost slamming the door shut behind him and jogging right into his room, letting out a breath he didn't know that he had.

'Great, now they're gonna think I'm some creep or something.' He thought to himself as he made his way around the bed to grab his phone, turning it on and letting out a sigh to find it full charged. He removed the charger cord and immediately went to his contacts... with about twenty missed calls from Cole and his other friends. He took a deep breath before speed-dialing Cole's number...

It only took a couple of rings before the line connected. [Riley? Riley is that you!?]

"Hey Cole. Yeah, it's me, still alive and kicking." He tried to joke the tension away.

[Oh thank god... we were so, so worried! Where the hell did you go!?]

"It's... a long story, I'll tell you the details later. Let's just say that I'm going to be staying at a friends place for a while." He blushed a bit as he remembered sleeping with Maximus in the same bed. "How about we meet at our favorite diner later today? I don't feel like going to work today..."

[About that: Someone already called and informed the manager on your behalf. We were pretty worried since it was clearly someone we didn't know.]

Must've been Maximus. "As you can hear: I'm safe and sound. Sorry for making you all worry like that."

[Well, you better explain everything when we meet later, down to the most boring detail.]

"I will, I will, I promise." Riley let out a small chuckle before they continued talking about lighter stuff. That is until his nose picked up some really good smells of fried food, causing his stomach to rumble pretty loudly, wondering in amazement how Cole didn't hear it through the phone. "I'm gonna have to talk later, forgot that I haven't eaten anything last night."

[Alright, better leave you to your breakfast then.] Then Riley began hearing something from the other sound... was Cole... crying? [I'm... really, really glad to know that you're okay.]

This made some tears well up in his eyes, but managed to compose himself before outright crying, gently wiping away the tears. "Thank you and I'm sorry again for worrying you all." They spoke for a few seconds more before bidding each other goodbye for now, just as he disconnected the call, his stomach growled once again, a bit louder this time, demanding the delicious food that was being prepared.

So he obeyed and put on a simple t-shirt with some sweatpants, taking a small peek out of his door... coast is clear, then made his way downstairs, taking a brief peek over the rails, before going down. The sound and smell of cooking meat hit all of his senses. He arrived and found the TV on with a fighting video game on and a couple of people playing, grunting and growling loudly as they competed.

He turned towards the island and jumped slightly as he saw someone there, not the rat or rabbit from earlier, but a tall otter with dark chocolate outer color and a warm tan brown starting from his lower jaw and going down his front. He was humming a tune to himself as he cooked, rudder tail swaying behind him. Riley stood pretty stunned as he watched the otter, he had a pretty nice build, slightly bigger than the rabbit's, more athletic than lean, his pecs slightly pushing against the apron, but they were not big enough to call 'mantits'.

The otter took a brief, curious glance to his side, finally noticing the dog watching him and offering a gentle smile. "Well, good morning, cutie. Hope you slept well last night~"

Riley shook himself out of his trance, walking up to the island and taking a seat. "Yeah, I did." He looked around briefly. "Where is Mr. Tepes?"

The otter briefly turned his head back to him before refocusing on his cook. "Daddy Max left quite early today, said he had quite a few things to handle." Once he finished speaking, he placed a plate of food that included a couple of sausages, an egg, and some toast in front of Riley, a very common breakfast.

Riley slowly began eating his food, his eyes lingering more on the otter than his plate, wondering what was his job in this house... if he even worked here. 'Come to think of it: Who are these people?' He asked himself as he briefly turned to glance at the two men playing their video game, then thought back to the rat and rabbit from upstairs.

He was about to take a bite out of one of the sausages when a firm pat on his right shoulder made him jump and yelp out. "Well, hello there, cutie~" He turned to find the rabbit from earlier still very naked but with his fur matted and wet with a towel around his neck, his blonde, neck-long hair also smoothed down by the water. Now that he got a better look at him, he noticed that the rabbit's fur had a very faint pink hue to it, it still looked mostly white but one has to look really close to notice. "Hope you're liking your stay with us, so far. Then again, it's only been one night." Riley's eyes unconsciously trailed down, lingering on the rabbit's lengthy manhood, but managed to shake himself out of that trance a few seconds later.

He was about to reply, but a brief wave of musk hit him before another hand gently patted his left shoulder. "He clearly enjoyed what he saw. Didn't you?" The white rat was on his left side, wearing compression shorts, his fur and hair matted down as well, but from sweat instead of water like the rabbit. Once again, Riley's eyes practically analyzed the rat's physique, taking in the various types of scars that littered his body, not to mention the impressive bulge at the front.

"Ooohh~ So you're the voyeur from earlier, huh?" The rabbit summarized in a teasing tone, giving Riley's cheek a soft poke.

The poor retriever just let out a whine of embarrassment, before hiding his face in his hands. "I'm sorryyyyy..."

What he didn't expect, though, were the soft kisses placed on both his cheeks, from both the rat and rabbit. "No need to apologize, we're pretty flattered." The rabbit assured as he gave his head a few ruffles.

"Very much so." The rat added giving him a couple of assuring pats on the back.

"If you two bullies are done teasing our guest..." The otter spoke suddenly, placing two plates of the same food as Riley's on either side of him. "Breakfast is ready."

"Oh, I'll have mine later, Logan. Still have some routines to go through." The rat informed them before making his way to the backyard. Everyone, thanks to the glass door, could see him doing some meditation katas.

"Always the active one, isn't he?" The otter asked no one in particular as he propped himself on the bar with one arm. Then turned his gaze to Riley. "Name's Logan, by the way, in case you haven't heard." He then pointed to the rabbit sitting on Riley's left. "This one here is Arthur, but we call him Spring."

"Heya!" The rabbit confirmed with a mouthful of toast.

"The two muscleheads playing their videogame over there are mine and Summer's older brothers. His brother is Benjamin, or Autumn, and my brother's Luka." Upon hearing their names, the two men paused their video game and turned to wave to Riley. "And finally, Mr. Martial Arts that just went out is Kyuu. There are others who stay here as well, but you'll get to meet them later."

Both of the ones gaming away had a similar hairstyle of shaggy, short hair that covered their eyes, but Luka's was bleach blonde while Autumn was more golden than blonde. Luka had a similar color palette as Logan's, but the lighter color focused more on his lower jaw, front of the neck, chest, and abdomen. Benjamin, or Autumn, was colored very differently from Spring, a darkish shade of rust brown fur all over, with the exception of his snout, neck, and chest being a slightly lighter color, he also sported a snakebit piercing, if the glint he saw was any indication.

Also, now that he got a good look at both, they were quite the muscular specimens, both with wide and thick shoulders, heavy pecs, and pretty thick arms. Seeing them alone is causing a slight tingle in his crotch.

"Like what you see?" Logan asked in a teasing tone, making Riley jump a bit.

"No! I mean, yes! No! I mean-" He just clamped his mouth shut with one hand, covering his eyes with the other, and rested his head on the table, letting out a smalle whine.

"Aww, you're just too adorable, aren't ya?" Spring ruffled his head gently. "No need to worry, it's very flattering to all of us, really." He chuckled slightly. "I mean, not sure about the otter bros, but for me and mine, it's pretty much our job to get looked at."

Hearing that, Riley's ears perked up briefly, looking up at Spring with a confused look. "You... do look familiar..."

"You probably saw me dancing last night."

Riley looked even more confused... dancing? Then it suddenly clicked in his mind, those dance moves from earlier lookvery familiar too! "You were one of the dancers at the Fangtasy!"

"Bin-go!" Spring sang his word before booping Riley on the nose. "One of my brothers and I are dancers but also occasionally wait some table, the other two are mostly on waiter duty. But all of us are open for some... other services~" He gave Riley a suggestive wink.

"Services?"

Logan took a seat beside Spring before speaking, his own breakfast in front of him. "The club provides private shows for small parties and such, as well as sexual services for the right price and for certain clients." He said matter-of-factly before taking a bite of his toast. "That's a pretty known fact, but not many make use of it, surprisingly enough."

"I see." Then the gears clicked in his brain again before looking over at Spring. "So you..."

"Let others fuck my ass and swallow their jizz for some tips? Hell yeah!" He let out a loud chuckle, even more so when he saw the baffled look on Riley's bright red face. "Sorry if that was TMI for ya. But yeah, that's my and my brothers' job. Lotsa fun, awesome co-workers, and the pay is pretty great."

Just then, the front door opened and through it walked two more rabbits, one with black fur all over and blonde hair with the same style as Spring's, as well as the same body build, and the other is tall with an athletic but slightly buffer build, still smaller than Autumn in muscle mass and size, and bright orange body color and fainter hue over his chest and abdomen, his hair was more bronze in color. Spring waved to the two of them from his seat. "Hey Winter, Summer."

The duo waved back to them, slowly and casually taking off their clothes until they were just as naked as Spring. 'Is everyone a nudist in this house?' Riley thought to himself as he ate the last bit of his sausage, watching both of their very impressive junks swinging and flopping about, especially the tall rabbit's thicker one..

The black-furred rabbit waved back before his eyes and ears perked up. "Oh, what's this? Sleeping beauty finally woke up, eh?" He sauntered over to Riley and leaned down, their snouts almost touching. "We wanted to wake you up earlier, but Mr. Tepes told us to leave you be, but after seeing that cute sleeping face of yours I can understand why." He straightened himself back and offered a hand. "Name's Raymond, by the by, but everyone calls me Winter." Riley took the handshake.

Then the last rabbit brother stepped up, he was slightly taller than Winter and Spring. He reached with his hand for a shake as well. "I'm Caleb, but everyone calls me Summer." He then pulled Riley close, their snouts inches from touching. "But a hottie like you can call me anytime and anything you want."

Seeing the poor dog getting teased by his brothers, Spring was genuinely surprised that Riley's head hadn't caught fire yet, but he decided to 'save' him, despite this scene being pretty funny. "Alright, you guys, back off. He's still not used to any of this, let alone us. Give him time."

Winter and Summer decided to cut Riley some slack and back off. "Alright, alright. But we gotta spend some time with Riley here before he has to leave." Winter suggested as he gently pinched Riley's cheeks and pulled on either side, spreading his face.

It suddenly dawned on the retriever, pulling himself from Winter's grips before speaking. "H-how do you know my name?" He doesn't remember introducing himself to any of them.

"Because master Tepes told us. He also told us to make you feel at home as much as possible." That was Kyuu, finally finished with his morning routine, walking back in as naked as everyone else, except for Logan who wore shorts. "He also told us about your... predicament."

Hearing about that, the memories of last night came flooding back. "How... how does he usually handle this stuff?"

Kyuu made his way over to the island counter, preparing himself some tea as he spoke. "Usually it involves him talking with the head of whichever clan whose members committed a crime or another. If the clan takes proper action against the guilty party, then nothing happens, but if they don't then the evidence of the crime is taken to the Great Council."

"That's exactly what he said, last night." Riley mused to himself rather than to the others. After pouring the tea, Kyuu took a small sip before turning around and leaning back on the counter, putting his hefty junk on display. 'Guess everyone around here is hella gifted' Riley thought to himself as he slightly blushed and tried to look away.

"Well, none of that is of significance to us mortals, so no need to worry about the gritty details." Kyuu assured him before taking a slightly bigger sip of his tea.

"Well, you're completely safe here. And if you need anything, anything at all, just give us a holler, yeah?" Logan said as he began collecting the dirty dishes.

Both Summer and Winter pressed their cheeks on either side of Riley's face. "And we mean, anything~" Winter emphasized with him and Summer giving Riley's crotch a small and quick grope, making him yelp out before leaving him be and making their way to the living room, joining Luka and Autumn in their game.

"Don't be threatened, they might talk big and can be pretty forward, but they won't touch you unless you ask for it, yourself." Spring assured him with a couple of soft pats on his shoulder, then left and joined the others.

Seeing them all together like that made him remember his own friends, checking his phone real quick he only got a few messages from them, but no calls. He took some time to reply to all of the messages, most of them just his friends worrying about him and expressing their relief at his safety, guess Cole passed the message.

He finished going through his messages and talking with his friends, but he still had time before they get out of work, so he decided to take a look around the house, get familiar with the place since he'll be staying here for a while. He left the room and went over to the lounge in the second floor, it was a small area with a few bookshelves filled with various kinds of books, from novels, comics, science, romance, even books used for college-level study, in front of the shelves sat a small table with a couple of chairs on either side, beyond that was another table that was on a slightly lower level with lounging chairs on either side, overlooking the living room in the second floor. "This might become my favorite place in here..." He mused to himself but decided to leave the reading for another time.

Walking down the stairs and past the kitchen, he stepped outside, taking in the fresh, morning air and marveling at how science has advanced after the war, people have heard of flying cars and tall buildings, but flying houses, especially of this size was on a whole other level. He could see other houses in a distance floating lazily above the city, wondering what kind of people could be living in them, on thing's for certain though: is that these people were very, very, VERY rich, to afford a floater.

Looking to one side he saw a wide area with lushious, green grass, probably used for barbeques or casual gatherings, then looked to the other side he finally got a good look at the pool, which had two levels. The main level is the pool, which was the biggest part that one can swim freely in, the upper level is split into two parts by a flight of stairs, the right one was square in shape and the left was circular, both being pretty big in their own right. Riley leaned down a bit and took a few curious sniffs. "Strange... I don't smell chlorine in this... Do I smell... herbs?"

"That's correct." He turned as Luka and Autumn were walking towards the pool. He couldn't see much from them since they were sitting all the way in the living room, but now that they were in front of him, he could easily say, with total confidence, that these two are the biggest men in the house, not in terms of just their manhoods either, which were dangling and swinging heavily between their legs. Those two were a pair of giants, easily as tall as Maximus and way more muscular with large arms, hefty and puffy manbo- uh, pecs that bounced slightly with each step, with them having the same hairstyle one could've easily mistaken them for twins if it wasn't for Autumn's buckteeth, their ears, tails and another difference: Autumn had a small and slightly protruding muscle gut, while Luka had a row of solid abs.

Luka was the one who spoke, his voice being a bit on the soft side, considering a man of his build. "Daddy Max uses special herbs that he orders from time to time to mix into the pool's water instead of the usual chlorine. He said that they help him relax more than all that chemical nonsense." He pointed at the pool. "You'll notice that it has a different color than usual, too." When Riley looked more closely he did notice it, instead of the usually colorless water, it was more of a faint teal or turquoise color.

Then Autumn spoke as he slowly slipped into the pool with a faint splash. "They're also really good for the skin and fur. He also buys some lotions and body rubs with similar herbs for us from time to time." He turned his gaze to the tubs above. "Those are hot tubs we use on occasion, but since they require high heat, we use different herbs on those."

"Hmm..." Riley hummed to himself as he walked around and up a tiny flight of stairs to peak inside, the one on the left was more... golden or amber in color and the one on the right had a pinkish hue.

"Hey, why don't you take a dip with us? The pool's water is pretty nice this time of day and it's kept at a nice temperature by a heating system." Luka offered as he went into the pool.

"I might do that at a later time. I'm just looking around and getting the lay of the land for now." He turned around to head back into the house. "You to enjoy!" He called back and headed inside. As he stepped in and closed the glass door behind him, he took a curious glance back in the pool's direction, seeing the two of them running their hands over one another and kissing each other like that made him blush and hurry further inside to give them more privacy.

His ears suddenly picked up the sound of clanking metal, walking past the kitchen he looked to the side, seeing a hallway that he didn't notice before... but the sound was coming from somewhere else, he walked past the hallway and noticed a glass wall that peaked into a very wide room... well, more like a gym really. It wasn't as big as an actual gym, in fact it was kinda small in comparison, but it was still big enough to house a few machines, a bench press, a smith machine, a couple of treadmills, a small space for cardio, and in the corner were a couple of punching bags. Both of them wearing compression shorts.

Inside he saw Logan in the cardio space doing some impressive rope jumps while Kyuu was striking at one of the punching bags with a flurry of punches and kicks. Logan noticed Riley through the glass and gave him a small nod, to which Riley gave him a smile and a wave back, then was surprised as Logan began doing tricky twists and jumps with the rope, clearly showing off to the dog, Riley was truly impressive as he clapped in amazement as Logan stopped, giving a dramatic bow.

Riley stepped in and observed the few but various machines and weight racks. "Let me guess: Indoor gym?"

Logan rolled up the jump rope and held it in one hand as he walked up to Riley, his body covered in and dripping with sweat as he gently panted for breath. With them being this close, Riley was now pretty sure that everyone in this house was taller than him... A fact he both liked and hated in equal measures. "Yep... although before we moved in it was way smaller, according to Daddy Max."

Riley again hummed to himself as he took in the place, but then turned back to Logan. "Excuse me for asking: But why do you keep calling him 'Daddy'?" He asked with a slight blush.

But it was Logan's turn to blush as he rubbed his the back of his head, a bashful smile on his face. "Well... for two reasons really. One is because to me and my brother, he became something of a father figure, and the other... well... I'm pretty sure you can guess the second reason."

Yep, that's what he expected. "I see." He then looked around a bit. "By the way: Where's Spring, Summer, and Winter?"

At that, Logan's bashful smile turned into a more lewd grin. "They... are in the Entertainment Hall~"

"Entertainment... Hall?" Riley asked as he tilted his head to one side.

"The Entertainment Hall, my sweet and innocent pup..." He paused as he placed a hand on Riley's shoulder, leaning down till their noses almost touched. "Is where Daddy Max 'entertains' some of his guests."

Riley gulped as he was almost afraid to ask the next question. "By 'entertain' you mean...?"

"Offering sexual services and favors as well as other forms of entertainment." That was Kyuu who spoke as he walked up to them, towel around his neck and wiping one side of his face from sweat. "Of course, we're the ones who are really doing the 'servicing' and 'entertaining'."

"Yep!" Logan exclaimed loudly, placing his fists on his hips. "And no one left those holes unsatisfied, yet!" He said that with quite a bit of pride in his voice.

"But... doesn't that make you feel... used?"

"Oh, hell nah!" Logan waved a hand dismissively in front of his face. "We were actually the ones who offered to do this after one of the guests made an indirect comment about wanting me 'on the menu'." Seeing Riley's confused look, he continued. "As you might imagine, most of Daddy's guests are supernaturals, mostly vampires, but from the tone of that one guest's voice, I highly doubt it was my blood he was after. So next time he came along and the master was busy." He made a gesture at himself. "I put myself on the menu~"

"The guest left pretty satisfied that night." Kyuu stepped in, crossing his arms as he gave Logan a mocking gaze. "But the master was piiiissed."

"Yeah..." Logan's gaze turned down in shame as his ears drooped low. "He was really upset with me for what I did, saying that I shouldn't have offered myself like that, especially to a vampire."

"Was the person- I mean vampire untrustworthy?" Riley was now really curious, more so with the guest than these Halls.

Kyuu held his chin with one hand in thought. "Not untrustworthy, per se, but it was a... political visit, as the guy was the head of another vampire clan. He wasn't upset at what Logan did, but more at not thinking it through."

Then it clicked in Riley's mind. "He thought there was a chance Logan could be turned into a thrall..."

Kyuu snapped his fingers and pointed at him. "Bingo. Master Tepes hated politics of the supernatural world. Just like mortal politics, there is a lot of dark and hidden deals, as well as plenty of underhanded tricks and twists, but on very different levels. So, he was afraid that the other vampire would take Logan and use him as leverage against him."

"Daddy was really disappointed in me that day." Logan chuckled bashfully as he scratched his cheek. "I actually cried myself to sleep that night. The weight of the shame I felt that night was... unbearable. I actually contemplated packing up and leaving, but my brother was there and talked me out of it." He then smiled warmly, nostalgia sparkling in his eyes. "And it's a good thing I didn't. The next morning Daddy apologized for losing his temper and took me out for the day, then that night... let's just say the night was way more fun than our outing."

Riley could only imagine the love between Logan and Mr. Tepes... but now he was more curious: Was that love shared among all of them? "So... if you don't mind me asking: What's everyone's relationship with Mr. Tepes?"

Again, Kyuu hummed in thought. "I wouldn't say a harem... but considering the circumstances, I'd say that's pretty close." He placed his hands on his hips. "But you'll soon realize that Master Tepes doesn't think of us as just mere toys, if Logan's story is anything to go by."

"I see, I see..." Riley kind of understood what Kyuu meant, there are a lot of cultures where a male or female takes on multiple mates in both the mortal and supernatural worlds, most would take mates of the opposite sex, but in some cases gender was irrelevant.

Just then, his phone pinged with a message notification, a quick check revealed a message from Cole, reminding him of their meeting later. "Holy shit, I almost forgot I had a meeting with my friends later today..." he checked the clock real quick. "Oh man, I should be ready soon."

"Then do you mind waiting for a bit? I can grab a real shower and drive you over." Logan offered with a wide smile.

"Um, yeah, that would be great. I forgot my car back at the apartment."

"Awesome, give me a little while and I'll be ready." Logan walked out of the gym and made his way upstairs.

After bidding Kyuu a quick 'see you later', Riley made his way upstairs as well, going into his room to grab a change of clothes, which were a plain t-shirt and some jeans, he wasn't that into fashion and such.

He grabbed some other essentials, his wallet included of course, and left the room. "Looks like Logan is still in the bathroom." He decided to wait for him downstairs... but when he got down, his curiosity got the best of him. "Guess I have some time to check those 'Halls' they mentioned..." So there he went.

The short hall was pretty wide, maybe to accommodate people of Maximus' size... as well as Luka and Autumn. He arrived at a door with a pretty... mysterious design. Rims and edges of silver with golden and silver vines jutting out of the edges with three roses in the middle, colored red, silver, and gold, the handle was also silver with 'vines' covering it. Hearing music inside proved that there was someone inside, swallowing his nerves, he turned the handle, and went inside

The place was pretty wide with a small, open area where a small stage for pole dancing was placed, surrounded by couches shaped in incomplete circles. There were a few smaller rooms in a row beyond the stage area, guess those are for the more 'private' audiences. He peeked into the stage area and his floppy ears practically flapped as his face burned with a blush. But it was the lighting that was interesting, very low and dark lights that slowly transitioned between colors as time passed, giving the entire place that extra allure.

Inside was Summer, sitting on one of the couches, spreading himself along a wide area of it as he watched Winter dancing and swaying to the soft music, both of them wearing nothing but speedos. The way Winter worked the stage was nothing less of mesmerizing, the way his body moved, swayed, Riley was hypnotized in his place with a growing tent in his pants.

"Why hello there~" The sudden voice behind him made Riley jumped in his place and out of his trance, turning around to find Spring standing behind him, wearing nothing but a pair of butler cuffs, a bowtie, and a jockstrap with a butler's suit pattern, his hair was also tied back into a small ponytail. "I see you find the most fun place in the house~"

"I, um... was just... exploring..." Riley couldn't speak properly, he already saw Spring, and pretty much everyone, naked by now, but seeing the white rabbit in that outfit just... made his body burn.

"Well, hun..." Spring pulled him close, their bodies pressing tightly against one another, the rabbit being slightly taller than them but not by much, grabbing Riley's hands and guiding them back to his exposed rear, then lifting his own behind his head. "Explore away~"

His brain pretty much shut down on this point and his body was moving on arousal alone, his hands squeezing and rubbing at Spring's ass, making the rabbit groan and moan softly. "That's it, babe... All yours..." The rabbit's hot breathing and words weren't helping matters, one bit, spreading his rear which elected a slightly louder moan from the rabbit, giving both cheeks a firm squeeze before finally releasing it. His hands then began slowly sliding up his back, sending a warm shiver up Spring's spine, then moved to the sides until they gently brushed against his armpits. "You have magical hands, sweetheart~"

"Oh, you've seen nothing yet~" Riley teased back in a voice and tone not his own, as he leaned forward, planting a few kisses along Spring's pecs before taking one nipple into his mouth, showering it with plenty of licks, sucks, and kisses, even the occasional bite and tug with his teeth.

"Ah fuck!" Spring's legs and knees buckled from all the attention to his chest and nipple, Riley's free hand rubbing at the rabbit's pit for a bit before moving back to rub at his lats and back. Both of them lost in their own world.

"AHEM!" Both of them suddenly jumped and turned to the door, seeing Logan standing there wearing a wide-armed tank top that showed off his chest and most of his upper body and some gym shorts. "Having fun?"

"Um..." Riley couldn't really come up with an excuse, caught red-handed as he was.

"Aww, we were just having some fun, hun~" Spring replied with a seductive tone.

"Well, Riley here has to meet with his friends soon, so I'm afraid I'm gonna have to cut your 'fun time' short."

"Oh, fine~" Spring stepped away from Riley, but not before giving him a small peck on the cheek. "You owe me an encore, hot stuff~" Then went to join his brothers in the stage area.

But not before giving the retriever a firm smack on the ass. His way of saying 'see you later'.


As they drove in Logan's truck towards the diner where Riley's friends were waiting at, he and Logan were talking about some random stuff. Like their jobs, hobbies, so on and so forth.

Turns out that Logan is currently jobless with a few odd ones under his belt here and there, the longest job he worked at was at a surf shop. He also takes the occasional modeling gig for underwear or adult magazines.

"If I'm feeling especially adventurous, I just swoop down to the either high or mid-levels and prostitute myself~" He revealed that bit very casually.

"Wait, what? Isn't that dangerous?"

"With proper protection and prevention, it's fine. Besides, I have ways to handle unruly clients, both normies and supernaturals alike." He assured while giving Riley a pat on his head. "You worry too much."

They soon stopped at a red light, Logan tapping with his finger on the steering wheel while Riley was messing around with his phone, a few seconds into Logan began humming a random tune to himself, Riley turned his head to ask what was the song, but his words died in his throat. As he was humming, Logan was making his pecs bounce and dance to the tune, which, after getting over the initial surprise, caused Riley to laugh, Logan turning to him with a knowing smile. "What?"

"Stop that!" Riley lightly pushed at the otter's shoulder, still giggling to himself.

"Stop what?" The otter asked, so innocently, looking down at himself briefly then back at Riley. "Oh, you mean this?" He asked while pointing at his pecs, once again making them bounce and dance to the tune he was humming earlier.

"Stooop!" Riley buried his face into his hands, but was still appreciative of the view, nonetheless.

"Fine, fine. Party pooper." He teased as he did stop and just in time as their light turned green. "We're almost there."

Just then, Riley's phone rang, seeing who the caller was, he instantly accepted the call. "Hey, Reggie."

[Riley, bro! How's it hanging?] The voice on the other side was deeper but had that cheerful pitch to it.

"All's good, so far."

[Great, great. Say, you wanna tell me why we lost the signal of your alarm?]

He knew his brother was talking about the Hero Alarm that he had, figured that he'd have to explain that one sooner or later. "Yeah... it's a long story. In summary, I... bumped into some trouble last night... and it broke..."

[WHOA, WHAT!?] Riley had to push his phone away from his ear. [ARE YOU OKAY!?]

"Yeah, I'm fine! Calm down... I'm staying at a friend's house for a while until things cool down a bit?"

[Cool down?... Bro, what kind of trouble did you get yourself into?]

"Just... got mixed up with some supernatural nonsense..."

[WHAT!? Bro, I told you to stay away from those freakshows!] Hearing his brother speak like that made Riley wince a bit, giving the driving otter a side glance.

"Not all of them are bad, bro. Come on, mom and dad taught us better."

[Yeah, and look where that got them.]

Riley was getting really upset here. "Need I remind you that what happened to mom was the work of a reckless and careless hero."

[Who were fighting a supernatural at the time!]

Riley decided that he'd had enough. "Look, bro... I'll talk to you later, okay? Gotta meet with some friends from work now." He didn't wait for his brother's reply as he already cut the call, letting out a small sigh of frustration.

"Loud, mightier-than-thou, and hella defensive when talked back against. Yep, definitely a hero." Logan muttered to himself, but it was still loud enough that Riley heard.

"Really sorry about my brother. He can be... a bit much, sometimes."

"You have nothing to apologize for, especially the mistakes and attitudes of others." Logan assured with a small pat on Riley's shoulder.

"I'm guessing you're not a big fan of heroes?"

"Not a fan, period. They act all high and mighty because they're backed by the government. Looking down on everyone else like we're nothing to them."

"May I ask what created this feeling?"

"You may... but that's a story for another time." He pointed outside his window. "We're here." Riley looked outside and sure enough, it's the diner, which was more of a cafe, really, with the name 'Slime Hub' spelled out in neon bulbs. As Riley was about to get out. "Hold on..." Logan stopped him before pulling out a small paper and scribbling something on it, then gave it to the canine. "My number, for when you're done. You're under Daddy Max's protection, remember?"

Riley actually forgot about that fact, what with him having fun getting to know everyone at Mr. Tepes' house, it was a nice change since yesterday's scare. "Sure, thanks." He put the paper in his pocket before getting out of the car, waving to Logan as he drove away, then walked into the cafe where his friends were already gathered.


On the other side of the city, in a penthouse located on top of a very luxurious hotel with heavily tinted windows and glass walls, Maximus was sitting with one leg over the other in the living room wearing his trademark black shirt and red vest, beside him was a small white mouse with blue, short, and smoothed back hair, about Riley's height, wearing a white shirt with a navy blue vest, he was holding a tablet in his lap, sitting straight up, his glasses occasionally glinting in the right light, while Maximus' posture was more relaxed.

In front of them was a humanoid that looked like a dark elf, dark and pale purple-ish skin, pointed ears, and silver her, his black sclera and piercing jade-green eyes looking straight at them as he sat in a straight and regal manner. Behind him were two other dark elves wearing light leather assassin clothing, each carrying a pair of swords with strange and curved blades on their backs. "Hmm... I do see the issue here, Lord Tepes." His voice was soft and light on the ears but had a slight depth to it.

"Then I can rely on you to handle this issue, Lord Riverto?" Maximus asked, trying his best to hide the sharpness in his voice.

The dark elf nodded slowly. "Indeed. What our involved youth did to your associate, as well as the many others you mentioned, is unacceptable and puts the entire clan in jeopardy. I thank you for bringing this issue to me." Another slow and gentle nod.

*BURP* Everyone slightly jumped and turned towards the bar, where a black rat with a bodybuild that was exactly similar to Kyuu's, as well as short, silver hair was sitting, his body littered with scars, but not as much as Kyuu, he also had some light spatters of silver body hair on his chest and forearms. He was wearing nothing but army pants and boots, carrying a long sword on his back, while his legs were strapped with multiple pouches on each side. He turned around to face the gathered group, a bottle of wine in his hand, his black ear gauges glinting briefly in the faint light, as well as his dog tags, the tattoo of 'Home Wrecker' tattooed across the top of his chest being visible to all. "So, what's gonna happen now?" He asked casually in a cheerful tone, taking another long swing of the wine in his hand, giving a suggestive, not-so-discrete wink to one of the assassins behind Riverto.

"Since none of their victims were found dead, thank the Night for that, their punishment will be small, but no less dire because of their actions." Riverto turned back to Maximus. "I promise you that their punishment will be severe."

"I do hope so, Riverto." Maximus dropped the 'Lord' title as murderous intent burst out of his body in a violent aura, the pressure that it resulted in causing many of the wine bottles, the one in the black rat's hand included, to explode and the windows to crack. "For yours and your clan's sake." Then just as it appeared, the aura disappeared as if nothing happened.

Maximus slowly stood up, as the mouse and Riverto did. "Thank you for granting me this audience, Lord Riverto. Let's hope that next time we meet it would be under better conditions."

"Indeed." Riverto agreed as both parties gave each other a bow, then Maximus and his left.

They got into the bat's limo before driving back towards their home. "Well, thank fuck that's over with." The rat spoke as he began taking off his weapons and pants.

"Juu, really?" The mouse spoke in a reprimanding tone.

"Oh, stuff it, Simon." The rat, Juu, then got a suggestive smirk on his face. "Or better yet, come over and stuff me~" As he said that, he pushed his jockstrap down, revealing that he actually had a vagina, instead of the usual cock and balls.

Simon blushed and crossed his legs a bit. Watching his two friends playfully poking at each other like this always lightened his mood. "Now, now, Juu, play nice."

Juu placed his hands behind his head as he sprawled himself on his seat, even lifting one leg up on it. "I am playing nice. It's this office clerk that refuses to play at all."

"You're so impudent, anyone tell you that?" Simon retorted, his blush still burning his face.

"And you're such a prude. Live a fucking little!"

Maximus let those two go at each other as he looked outside the window, his mind going back to Riley, wondering how he was doing. As he did, his thoughts went into a very different direction, as images of the canine's naked body began flashing before him, remembering how soft his fur felt in his hands, that slender body, those cute ears, he couldn't help but let out a small growl.

"Uh oh, boss is having a nice daydream~" Maximus turned to Juu's teasing voice, then looked down at himself and noticed a very visible lump in his pants. "Here, let me help." The rat offered as he got out of his seat and crawled over to kneel between Maximus' own.

"Y-you don't have to do that, honestly." Maximus assured as he closed his legs slightly, which didn't help matters one bit as the soft rub against the fabric of his pants only made him hornier.

Juu simply smile and pushed the bat's legs open. "I don't have to, but I want to." Then slowly moved his hands along the bat's thighs, gently rubbing them through his pants, then reached up to undo the button and zipper, then reached into Maximus' pants before pulling out the bat's huge and hefty cock, electing a slight sigh of relief from him. "Yeah, that's better, ain't it?" He asked teasingly as he pressed his tongue to the underside of Maximus' cock, dragging it slowly all the way to the tip, lapping the small drop of pre that was there.

"Fuuuck... you boys are too good for me..." Maximus moaned out softly, letting out a small gasp as he felt a small mouth gently kissing at his neck. "Ah!... Simon..."

He assistant had already put his tablet down, scooting closer and lifting himself up to pepper the bat's neck with kisses and licks. " Easy now, sir. Just sit back and relax." He turned Maximus' face towards his before locking their lips together, one hand rubbing the back of Maximus' head while the other slowly undid his vest and shirt before reaching inside, groping and rubbing at the bat's chest and nipples.

"Finally decided to take that broom out of your ass?" Juu teased the mouse, his tail poking at Simon's rear.

"Oh, just shut up and get back to gagging." Simon teased back as he shoved Juu's head back on their boss' cock. As if to mock Simon, Juu opened his mouth wide and slowly took Maximus' cock deep into his throat until his snout was pressed snugly against the bat's crotch, electing a loud moan and growl from him. "Show off." Simon muttered good-heartedly, then addressed the A.I. of the limo. "Computer, take the long route home."


In the center of the city stood the biggest and tallest building, the headquarters of the Champions, the heroes who swore to protect the civilians of Neo Earth and the planets beyond. The building was very, very tall with a tower placed right in the center of a very wide circular building which made the base, the mixtures of gold, black, and silver colors gave it that blinding effect when the sun reflected on the surface just right.

Inside the tower, in one of the offices located there to be exact, sat a dark brown-furred labrador retriever with a heavily muscular build, tapping and scrolling away at his computer, checking out the file he pulled out of their civilian records.

"Maximus Vladimir Tepes, huh..." He mused to himself as he continued reading through Maximus' file, the edges of his mouth occasionally twitching into a scowl.
