Episode 3:

You're such a mushy dog

There were no flowery dreams waiting for Karen, there were no night terrors either. The dog had sated her heat while exhausting her physically, emotionally, and mentally. The bunny had collapsed into unconsciousness, just a void of darkness and respite, a much-needed sound sleep.

In her ears, she could hear the sounds of her own soft faint snoring, self-aware she was waking from her slumber. She didn't snore regularly but her body had collapsed in such a state of exhaustion that she apparently had been. The back of her head felt heavy like something was holding it down. No, Just resting there, not holding or pinning.

Her emerald eyes blinked open slowly, the rabbit trying to put everything back together in her mind. Her mouth was slightly parted and a small trail of her saliva had drooled forth onto the soft crimson fur beneath her. The rabbit huffed gently and nuzzled the gently rising and falling chest she was laying against. Her whole room had a heady strong scent of a dog now.

Her ears sprang up realizing she was laying against someone and drooling, feeling their paw on her head stroking at her dark chocolate hair. "W-whu?!" Karen snorted out as her head pulled up, a little bit of panic rushing through her chest, her heart thumping.

"Shhh... it's okay, my rabbit... relax..." She felt the handpaw gently stroke the back of her head and pull it back down. Her heart eased as she recognized the voice, the fear replaced with security. She laid her head back down against Isaac's chest, sighing happily as the wolf stroked her hair and fondled her flicking brown ears gently.

Karen grinned against his chest, her little mocha tail flicking happily from his stroking paw and strong deep breathing. "How, long have I been out?" The bunny asked softly before giving a gentle yawn.

"Not sure, I think I collapsed first..." Issac spoke the words, his padded-fingertips sliding through Karen's chocolate-colored hair. "Apparently the night. The sun has risen and been up for a while now."

The rabbit grinned while he fondled her hair and ears. "How long have you been holding me, Isaac?"

"Actively? Maybe an hour... just wanted to watch my rabbit sleep, but I think you stayed on me the whole night," The wolf growled the words into her ears, the rabbit feeling her heart pace up a notch once more as he emphasized her belonging to him.

The rabbit stretched lazily and gave a soft huff, her body was sore and achy thanks to the wolf. "Ha... fuck dog, you really tore your rabbit up..." She hissed the words playfully before turning her body to climb on top of him once more, sitting against his stomach and leaning in to push her muzzle to his in a hungry good morning kiss.

Isaac was more than happy to accept the kiss, his paw finding her hair again and pulling her down possessively into his arms. Karen felt his tongue push forward and slip into her mouth as she let out a sleepy moan, her own tongue joining with his in a playful contest of wrestling.

After a few moments, the rabbit broke the kiss to slide her fingertips along the scratches she had left behind on his shoulders and chest through his fur. "Ha... looks like I roughed you up a little too... Sorry about that doggy."

"I find your apology rather insincere, Karen." The wolf growled the words lovingly before snatching the bunny by the hips and rolling her over. Karen giggled then let out a soft huff, her back hitting the mattress gently as the dog loomed over her. She looked up at him, at her wolf, and gave him a childish grin, her cheeks growing warm.

"Oh dear, how can I ever make it up to you, my strong sexy dog?" She bit her lower lip running her paws slowly over Isaac's shoulder before tangling her fingertips into his crimson hair and looking into those icy blue eyes.

Isaac pulled one of her handpaws gently from his ear, kissing the rabbit's palm and wrist before pulling the other free to do the same. He then gave Karen a hungry feral sounding growl before guiding her wrists down above her head, gently pinning them to the mattress. "I'm sure you can think of a few ways..." The wolf hissed the words as he went in for her throat, kissing and lapping at her warm furred-flesh, the rabbit smelling of heat once again.

Karen sighed happily as the dog pinned her wrists playfully and tilted her head, cooing softly as he started in on her once more, feeling her body warming up, her heat letting itself be known right away. "Ha... horny dog... Ngh..." She tugged gently against the wolf's strong grip on her paws not feeling them budge a bit. The rabbit's ear twitched erratically and she felt her pulse rise suddenly, panic starting to build as she tugged again against his grip. "I-Isaac..."

The dog dragged his tongue along her throat before pulling away to grin down at her with a loving growl, "Yeah my rabbit, what's-" His tail fluffed out seeing the panic on her face and the tears welling up in her eyes. "Karen?!"

"Let go... now!" The rabbit snapped the words out through tears filling her eyes, the last part coming out in almost a panicked sob. The wolf released her wrists right away and leaned down to kiss her face gently.

"It's okay my bunny... I'm not gonna hurt you..." He cooed the words kissing her tears, a paw now petting at her hair gently. Karen felt her chest rising and falling but calming as the panic left her slowly while her dog doted over her while trying to calm her.

"I-I'm sorry..." She sobbed the words out, letting out a pitiful whimper as she felt him kissing at her and stroking her hair. "I ruined the moment, you were having so much fun too...I-I'm just terrible and-"

The wolf moved in and shoved his muzzle hard against the rabbit's to shut her up. Her back arched at the sudden attack but eased a moment later as she gave in to his kiss. He slid a padded-palm against her cheek, cupping her face while growling gently against her mouth, his nails scratching at the fur of her jaw. He held the kiss for several moments before parting it and speaking against her mouth, his lips still lingering on hers. "Shut up, Karen. You didn't ruin anything..."

"But..." The dog gave her an adamant glare as if warning her not to push the point. The rabbit bit her lower lip, her heart leaping at the show of dominance as she slid her fingers up over his chest once more.

"Never apologize to me for something like that ever again... if you say to stop I will... I-I won't have you being afraid of me. You claimed me Karen, so I plan to make my rabbit as happy as she can be from now on!"

Her large mocha ears drooped as the wolf barked the words out in her face, she could see his eyes full of fear and even a little self-hate from having put her through it unknowingly. More than that she felt a soft sob bubble up from her throat at his proclamation, "Y-your such a mushy dog... Isaac... but thank you."

He grinned at her comment and moved in to nuzzle at her throat gently now and felt the rabbit's fingertips moving through his crimson hair once more, settling against his ears and rubbing them. "Ha... I'm your mushy dog, Karen..." He placed soft kisses along her throat and could hear the rabbit responding to his affection, her pulse picking up anew and feeling her grip grow tighter upon his ears.

"Yes. You're mine..." The rabbit hissed the words and gripped at the wolf's ears and hair pulling his head up and forward to her own before shoving her mouth to his in an eager kiss, her body rebounding quickly thanks to her heat.

Isaac kissed her back but kept his paws to himself until the rabbit grew impatient and broke the kiss with an impatient moan. "Touch me my wolf, take me... don't send your rabbit out to work burning with heat!"

The wolf's ears sprang up at the demand and he quickly moved his palms down her curvy warm hips before settling them between and under her knees. The dog hoisted the rabbit's hips upwards, spreading her legs and exposing her small rabbit slit to him once again through the mocha fur.

Karen bit her lower lip at the exposed submissive position but let the dog do as he pleased, her folds were already drenched again from the eagerness of her body as well as the surrounding fur, the spring heat in her furiously burning now. "Ha... that's a good dog... show it to me." She cooed the words out lovingly while bracing on her palms.

The wolf flicked his tail up at her words and shifted to show the rabbit his pulsing thick length, there was already a heavy dribble of pre at the head of it. Karen felt her hips squirm excitedly at the view, seeing the throbbing flesh jutting out from the crimson fur.

"Ha... so eager first thing in the morning! Does my dog wa- Ngh!" The rabbit felt herself cut off as Isaac shoved his tip right up against her dripping folds impatiently. He wasn't going to let her have the lead this time and she knew it. "Huff... fine... dumb dog... hurry up and put it in!"

The rabbit begrudgingly gave him full control and he didn't waste any time. She clenched her teeth and grunted out from him grinding the tip against her until it popped into her rabbit hole.

"Ha... fuck... I'm gonna be so bruised..." Karen panted the words while gripping the bedsheets behind her, watching as the wolf pushed into her eagerly. She felt every inch forcing into her bit by bit until he bumped up against her core deep inside her.

"Karen... you feel so fucking good..." He hissed the words for her, the rabbit sighing happily in response, her walls viciously locking down and clenching hard against the dog. She drooped her ears grinning in satisfaction and huffing through her nose as he made her give in for the first time this morning, her rabbit lust gushing forth as her walls milked him.

"Ha... ha... get to it Issac or I will roll you over and do it myself!" She mocked him playfully in between clenching at him through her orgasm.

Isaac responded to her words with a low rumble of a growl in his throat and grabbed the rabbit's curvy hips. Karen grinned excitedly as she felt his length pull free by several inches then push forward with a heavy deep push that sent a jab into her cervix once more. Her full breasts bounced from the impact, her walls clenching and milking eagerly at the length inside her while she moaned out in pleasure. "Ha... good dog... that's my wolf..."

Karen panted gently her ears drooped and bouncing in time with his thrusts now. The dog pushed back and forth inside her small body, his length slick with her rabbit honey. Her bare footpaws brushed at the heavy tail behind him while he pushed into her, feeling it wagging eagerly.

"So good... my rabbit feels so good!" Isaac groaned the words out his claws digging into her hips while Karen bit and chewed on her lower lip. She could feel his excitement growing the faint signs of a knot showing along his length with each stroke. The bunny drooped her ears feeling the knot bulge a little fuller when she gave in to him once again, her walls clamping down and milking her dog violently as it grew.

"You are so good to me!" She moans the words out as her walls eased and he resumed thrusting into her. He really was and she wanted to trust him completely every time. The rabbit took a steadying breath before falling fully onto her back, she raised her arms to expose her wrists above her head like he had them previously. "Get down here wolf, hold me down, make me yours!"

His tongue was lolled out now and his ears perked up at the display, his rabbit demanding he pin her and take her as his own. Isaac gave a deep thrust shoving his tip hard into Karen's core making her groan out for him again before he moved over her panting down at her. "Ha... ha... you're sure?"

Karen gave him a look like he was a dumb dog and simply said "Duh..."

Isaac wagged his tail and reached for her wrists as her back arched and that panic returned in her soul. 'He won't... trust him...' The rabbit bit her lip hard as she thought to herself while shoving down the fear and letting her dog have her how he had wanted to. She gently struggled against his wrists before looking up into his own eyes, hers misty with tears and her tongue hanging out heavily. "Good boy... d-don't stop, please..."

"You're mine rabbit... all... fucking... mine..."The wolf dominantly growled the words now that he had her pinned down, she felt his grip tighten slightly but not enough to hurt her. Karen stopped resisting him and let herself fully open up to him, baring her throat submissively as she moaned out softly while the dog pushed himself into her repeatedly, her cervix now throbbing from all the attention it had been getting from him.

"All yours wolf... ha!" The rabbit yelped out in a gentle moan when the dog moved in for her throat, chomping down on it, his teeth digging into her skin through the fur before he started suckling while pushing into her, marking her again while taking her. Karen moaned out blissfully feeling her body respond, her walls viciously milking at the dogs pumping length, his knot almost to full within her.

He pushed down into her with a few more heavy thrusts before the rabbit gave out another throaty moan, her body giving in to him for the third time. The dog released her throat a fresh bruise now just below the first mark. The rabbit's walls viciously clenched down and the wolf responded with a final heavy push that shoved him against her deepest regions. Isaac snarled like a wild frenzied dog before letting out a savage howl of a moan, his body giving in to the rabbits in a thick violent rush of his lust.

Karen let out a throaty sigh of pleasure before grinning as she felt him let go in her once again, his lust thick and hot as it flooded into her womb. The rabbit folded her ears, letting the dog fill her with his fertile potent heat, the wolf having her pinned, marked, and now claiming what was his.

Her body twitched gently, walls clenching and milking the last few gushes into her packed womb as she gave out a relieved sigh. She felt overfull and very warm thanks to the massive amount of his adoration in her. "Ha... oh fuck..." The dog panted the words weakly while the rabbit forcefully kept squeezing at him, as if to get every drop he had.

Isaac felt the adrenaline wane and collapsed onto his elbows between Karen's head. She grinned, looking up at him while he panted down into her face. "Good dog..." The rabbit sighed the words and moved a paw to brush his jaw, scratching under his muzzle while he panted down at her.

"I hope... you didn't mind..." Isaac puffed the words as he raised up on his padded-palms again, trying to compose himself.

"I loved it..." Karen sighed happily then looked into his eyes and gave a wide playful grin. He watched as her paw moved down resting over her belly and the piercing in her navel. "But so much... you gave me so much, I swear you stretched my womb with that one... Is my doggy trying to give me puppies?"

The wolf's ears shot up in shock and a bit of panic. "W-what?! T-that's not... uh... I hadn't thought about it!" The rabbit grinned and moved her fingertips to the front of his muzzle, hushing the dog.

"Ha... such a cute dog... so glad he's mine."

--*--

"So, does it bother you?" The question came out of nowhere as Karen fluffed a towel through her wet hair and ears while walking back into the bedroom, the large wolf following behind her doing the same.

"Does what bother me, my dog?" The rabbit pulled her towel down and left it draped over her shoulders just covering the tips of her breasts while she walked over to her dresser to pick out a new set of undergarments.

"That right there." The wolf shrugged as he looked at his not-so-fresh boxers before just opting to go commando as he pulled his jeans back on while the rabbit picked out a pink set of bra and panties. "Does it bother you us saying 'my rabbit" or 'my dog', Since we just met recently?"

The rabbit had already pulled the pink panties on wiggling her tail as she looked back at her hips, the mocha fur a nice contrast on the pink in her opinion. Her eyes then shifted back to the wolf as she slipped her bra on, hooking it at the front. "Hm? It doesn't bother me, but if it bothers you, I can tone down on it a little." She gave a shrug and moved over to the dog, resting her fingers on his still bared chest, leaning up on her tiptoes to kiss his chin. "Does it bother you, Isaac?"

The wolf's ears flicked upwards at the question and he leaned down to briefly touch his muzzle to hers, kissing her quickly before gently pushing a paw against Karen's breast through the pink bra, his other slipping down to grip her hip gently as he drew her closer. "It doesn't at all, I just didn't want you to be uncomfortable. I didn't want you thinking I was being creepy."

Karen blushed as his handpaws roamed on her and she forcefully disengaged from the dog, pecking his lips again before huffing up at him. "D-down boy... we just showered, don't send me off stinking of heat again." The rabbit turned to move over to her closet, but looked back out of the corner of her eye, smiling as she saw the dog was eagerly staring at her butt in the panties. "I like it... It may have come fast, but I enjoy hearing you call me yours."

The dog bit his lower lip watching the bunny butt swaying as she walked to her closet, his ears perking and his eyes moving back up as she spoke. "Y-yeah, I enjoy it too. I mean I wouldn't disrespect you in public by saying it around your co-workers and stuff though."

Karen winced at the thought of it and nodded in appreciation. "I will do the same. Geeze poor Joe would probably go cry in the supply closet if you did that." She picked out a black t-shirt with a low V neck that showed off her cleavage and pulled it on, turning around to model it for the wolf playfully.

Isaac huffed in appreciation and wagged his tail, giving the rabbit all the answer she needed. He moved over to snatch his own shirt off the ground and pulled it back on. "Who is Joe? Was that the fox in the cafe?"

"Yeah, the poor guy apparently likes me, and my smell of heat has been killing him lately." Isaac huffed and stepped over to Karen standing there in just her panties and a T-shirt.

The rabbit looked back at him as he pulled her against his chest possessively from behind, his paws resting on her hips. "He's cute... A shame I claimed you first huh?"

Karen gave the dog a grin, her tail flicking against his stomach. "Him being an under-aged high school student may have worked in your favor too, my wolf."

The wolf snorted out a laugh. "Y-yeah I guess that's true, ah well I'm sure he will find him a rabbit to ravage someday. He just better keep his paws off mine..." The dog hissed the words of possession out into her ear, his handpaws squeezing at her hips gently, drawing Karen closer to his chest.

A giggle spilled forth as the rabbit sighed and pushed up against his chest, enjoying his warmth. "Yes yes... you have me wolf, don't worry." She hesitated before gently pulling from his grip to go find something else to wear, eventually deciding on a simple black skirt to match the shirt, it came down a few inches past her knees and kept a small opening just large enough for her to get her tail through.

Isaac looked worried for a moment as he rubbed the back of his head in thought. Karen noticed the look and grinned at the dog while getting some socks on. "Tell me what's on your mind, Isaac?"

He cut his icy blue eyes over to hers while she sat on the bed putting her socks on. He took a seat next to her and huffed. "Ah... what about that... puppies' comment earlier?"

Karen grinned at the dog, she was wondering when that would come up. "Oh, yes. What of it?" Her voice shifted into that confident tone she would use when she was vying for dominance in a situation.

"S-should I worry about it? I wasn't thinking, I just kind of lost control of myself!" The wolf spoke the words out in a slight panic at the thought of it. The rabbit just giggled at him in response.

Karen shifted on the bed to turn around and lay her head into his lap, looking up at him with a bright smile. "I'm a rabbit... when we go into heat... well you know the stories yeah?" She sighed gently, enjoying the scent of him, his jeans still smelling heavily of the musky scent he had built up over the night. She opened her bright green eyes and grinned wide, brushing her fingertips over her stomach, her shirt having rode up to show off the small silver hoop in her navel. "Will you take responsibility, my dog?"

Isaac blinked at her several times, his paw having moved into her hair and was stroking it as she talked, her dark chocolate locks still slightly wet along with the fur at her ears. "Y-yeah I would!" He almost choked on the words as he barked them out, trying to appear confident and supportive.

"You're a good wolf." She thought about dragging it out, teasing him about marriage, and puppies, school, and saving for college. Ultimately she decided not to torment the dog too much over the subject. The rabbit shifted and climbed into his lap, sliding her fingertips to his hair and ears, pulling him down for a soft peck on the muzzle before speaking again, "You're most likely safe my dog, ravage me without concern."

The wolf growled at the words and Karen huffed out as he grabbed the cheeks of her rear and pulled her tightly into his chest, his mouth forcing against her own in a heavy kiss. The rabbit squirmed as his tongue found hers and she felt her body heating up. Her tongue rolled against his, her fingers gripping tightly at his hair and ears.

They kissed for several moments before Karen gripped his hair and forced the dog's mouth from hers with a pant. "Ha... that wasn't an invitation to ravage me now! Down boy..." She panted the words, her body already burning and eager, her hips instinctively grinding against his crotch. A hungry but playful grin was all the wolf answered with, rubbing at the rabbit's ass while she sat upon his lap looking up at him panting.

After a few more moments of grinding, Karen pulled away from him and moved to slip her shoes on. "I'm going to be late if I don't get moving." She looked at the wolf with a bit of remorse on her face. "Much as I hate to leave you."

Isaac frowned at her look and nodded back, sure his face looked similar. "Ah... I can give you a ride in. Also, when do you get off?"

Karen nodded with a grin. "I would like that, also I will be getting off when you start fucking me again... Oops you mean work... I get off work at eight tonight."

She could see the look of hunger in his eyes at her teasing and the wolf snorted a huff through his nose. "Ha... can I pick you up?"

"Gonna take me out again, doggy?" The rabbit cooed the words as she moved over to the wolf, brushing her palm against his face.

Isaac nodded in answer, his heart pounding while she touched his face as he moved in for another taste of her mouth. The rabbit indulged him with another kiss but pulled back quickly when she felt his tongue trying for her mouth again. She gave him a cute smile and pushed her fingertips to his jaw with a soft coo, "Put your tongue away, Isaac."

--*--

"I'll miss you," Issac spoke the words affectionately as Karen tried to get out of his car for the fifth time since he pulled up to the coffee shop.

"No, you'll miss my body, you horny mutt!" The rabbit teased the words at him playfully as she pulled from his paws and quickly scooted out the passenger door.

"That's not true, I like you for more than just being a fantastic lay," The dog grumbled the words fussily as Karen rolled her eyes and walked around to the driver's side of the door.

Leaning down into the open window, she gave him a grin. "Yeah, because we've established such a repore of the minds in the last... two days of our relationship?" The rabbit hummed the words at the dog while flicking her small fluff of mocha tail.

"I really do mean it, Karen. I like you and enjoy your company, you're such a grea-" The rabbit pushed her fingertips to his muzzle to silence him, then moved in to give him a long kiss, her jaws parting to let the dog slip his tongue in one more time. Their tongues flicked and rolled with one another's for several moments before the rabbit pulled back and gave the wolf a lazy grin.

"I know you do and I feel the same. Now, be a good dog and go home to change before you go to work, your clothes stink of rabbit sex." She pulled from the window and gave him another grin before trotting into the shop, her hips swaying and showing off her backside through the skirt. Knowing full well he'd be staring, she gave her little mocha tail a hike while walking, glancing back at him with a sniful smile.

The door chimed as Karen stepped into the shop with a bit of spring in her footpaws. There were a few customers in the shop, but all of them were seated with their orders already. Joseph was at the counter, of course, he was, a nice little reminder that everything had a price.

Karen felt her heart sink a little as the fox glanced at her and gave a nod, trying to keep his ears up. 'Might as well try to be polite with him,' She thought to herself before calling out in a friendly voice, "Good morning, Joe. I hate you're stuck working on your off day from classes."

"I told you to schedule me, boss. If I had wanted it off I would have just let you assume it was a normal school day," The fox spoke the words while avoiding eye contact with her, sounding more distant to her than usual.

Karen felt her ears droop as he averted his gaze from her. 'Yeah, I guess you've got a right to feel that way. I never led you on, but I know how it feels Joseph, and I'm sorry,' She thought to herself as she looked from the fox towards the back. "Well I'm glad you were willing to come in and help today, I better go get ready."

He shifted his eyes over at her, seeing the droop of her ears and the obvious distress he seemed to have caused her with his detached words. The fox showed a slight frown on his muzzle before nodding at her words and returned to his work.

Moving into the back, Karen found her apron and lowered her ears as she donned it. "Ah, to be young and heartbroken..." She huffed the words quietly to herself while adjusting the little 'Team Leader' badge.

"I want to hear every, last, detail," A voice purred into her ear from behind.

Karen grinned at the words, of course, she had smelled the cat moving up on her. "Maybe I will deem you worthy of a few scraps of information at lunch, Ivory," The rabbit huffed the words out playfully.

"Why lunch? Just tell me on the floor while we work!" The blonde catgirl eagerly purred as she leaned up against Karen, her tail flicking about excitedly.

"Ha, I don't think the customers would want to hear that and-" Karen leaned in whispering into her perked multi-colored ears, "I couldn't talk about that around poor Joe... think what it would do to him."

Ivory rolled her blue eyes and stood up before clicking her tongue, a slight hiss in her voice, "Teach the little puppy not to pout over not getting everything you want in life? Oh no... how tragic..."

Karen bumped her hip into the cat's giving her a light jar that made her take a step to the side. "Be nice, Ivory... we were all young and... dumb once." The rabbit looked to the side thinking for a moment about old wounds. "Some lessons are just harsher than others I guess..."

Ivory looked upon the rabbit with an odd expression on her face. "Karen, are you okay?"

The rabbit huffed through her nose and cut her emerald eyes to the cat's blue ones. "I'm better than I've been in years, Ivory. I just don't like hurting people, I know all too well how it feels to carry around scars."

"That tension and seriousness..." The cat slapped Karen's butt through the skirt making the bunny yelp out before glaring at the cat, her cheeks growing warm. "Yeah, that's more like it." Ivory gave the rabbit a grin.

"Pretty sure I can write you up for sexual harassment for that one, Cat." Karen huffed the words in the cat's face.

"Pretty sure you won't, bunny." The cat purred the words giving Karen a playful grin. "You would die on this job without me. Plus I've done much worse off the clock."

"Ah my work wife, how would I get on without you..." The rabbit huffed the words in a dry tone as she turned to head towards the entrance to the lobby.

"By the way..." The cat quickly rushed up to Karen and huffed into her ear hotly, "I can smell him on you..."

Karen's ears jerk upwards and her back stiffened at the words, the cat giving her a devious giggle before slipping past her. "Cmon boss, time to get to work!"

The rabbit clenched her teeth and flicked her tail about. "I need to get to work on that eulogy..."

--*--

Ivory took a drag from her smoke while leaning against the wall outside of the shop. "Okay spill it, I want every detail!" She huffed the words while blowing smoke out of her lungs.

The rabbit grinned while sitting there with her cup of coffee. "He is a very charming wolf, he took me out for dinner at a local place and we had a pleasant time together."

The cat gave her an unamused look while taking another pull on her cigarette. "Right... That's why you smell like he fucked you silly and your heat isn't half as strong smelling as it was."

The rabbit gave a wide grin as she looked away, her mind drifting back to the night's romp and the morning one that followed, she thought to herself, 'I wonder if he is gossiping about us with a co-worker like this as well.' "Do I? I even made sure to take such a thorough shower this morning with him too."

That statement got the cat's attention. "He stayed the night with you? Karen you little slut!" Ivory purred the words at her excitedly, her tail rolling about cheerfully behind her.

"He didn't have a choice after he collapsed in my bed from it," The rabbit hummed the words proudly as she sipped her coffee. "My Do- Erm..." She cleared her throat and coughed a few times. "He was a real gentleman though... I mean... he really did treat me first class the whole time." Karen grinned and felt her cheeks burning at the thought of him, even during the bad moments of her panicking he was so good to her, so gentle and understanding.

"Uh... you're drooling boss." The cat purred the words with a grin.

"I am not, I did enough of that last night." The rabbit shot back with a playful grin.

"Meow! He dialed you up to eleven on the lewd meter huh?" Ivory huffed the words with a grin, then her ears jerked upwards, Karen's did as well. Both turned to the door of the coffee shop as Joseph stepped outside, they of course smelled him coming.

"Hey, Joe. you're too young to smoke if you've come to bum a cig off me," The cat playfully purred the words at the dog.

"N-no, I came to talk to Karen actually." The dog set his jaw like he had made a decision. The cat winced and so did the rabbit. "Hooboy... guess I better get the 'help wanted' sign out." Ivory huffed the words quietly to the rabbit as she got up and walked away.

Karen put her handpaws in her lap and took a moment to go into manager mode before looking at Joseph. "What's up?"

"That guy you were with yesterday..." The fox whispered the words, his ears up and his tail fluffed out.

'Oh no... nip this in the bud right now, Karen.' The little voice of reason screamed the words at her. "Yes, Isaac, my boyfriend, what about him?"

"Y-you're boyfriend?!" The fox barked the words, obviously in shock then clenched his teeth.

"Yeeees... is there a problem? I was off the clock so it wasn't fraternizing while at work, and he just picked me up. Did he say something to upset you, Joe?" She knew she was bullshitting the poor fox by trying to keep it all work talk, but she knew she couldn't let him drag this out and torment himself either.

"I didn't even know you were seeing anyone, Karen..." He looked shaken and averted his eyes, whatever resolve he had brought to this conversation was long gone.

'Little doggy you're cute, but you're also clueless. Let's see... I hired you about six months ago so...' She thought the words to herself as she decided best to just settle this here and let the fox get on with his life. "You never asked. You don't exactly talk to me much Joe, you're pretty quiet around me. Also, I don't make a habit of spreading my personal business around at work. However, yes my boyfriend, we've been dating for about a year now."

The fox looked even more shaken by the words as Karen closed her eyes, offering a silent apology for the attack and lies. He was figuring it out now in his head that he had been crushing on her but not made any effort to actually get to know her, to actually know if she were single or even interested in dating.

"So what's up, Joe? Did Isaac say something to upset you yesterday? If so I will talk to him about treating my staff better or not pick me up anymore." She spoke the words out as best she could in her 'team leader' voice.

The fox shook his head at the words and looked back at the rabbit, his ears were folded now and his eyes looked slightly wet. Karen felt her stomach twist at the scene. "It- It was nothing, boss..." The fox turned to leave, "Sorry, sorry for interrupting your break."

"Joseph..." The fox hesitated as she spoke his name and looked back out of the corner of his eye. "When I was your age I had a huge crush on a guy that was older than me... I was seventeen and he was like twenty-four or something like that."

The dog turned to listen to the rabbit as she looked away, her face growing distant and cold as she swirled the last of her coffee around in the travel cup. "I hardly knew the guy but oh I just was so in love... he was so cool and smelled good... Was charming and attractive... the opposite of me in every way really. He was a fox like you ya know, but a black one, not a red one."

"Yeah? What happened with that?" He asked curiously now, not sure where this topic was going and why she brought it up.

Karen set her jaw with a grit of her teeth and stared off into the distance for several long moments before looking back at the fox. "He got what he wanted out of me, and I got scars to remember him by."

Joseph got the implication of the words right away and pulled his view from the rabbit's cold-looking gaze. "I-I'm sorry you..."

"Stop." Karen snarled the word and the fox snapped his jaws closed on command. "What I'm saying Joe, is that sometimes not getting what we want, can be a very good thing later on, and sometimes getting what you want... can fuck with you for the rest of your life."

The dog grew silent and kept his eyes averted as the rabbit stood up from the bench and walked over putting her paw gently on his shoulder. "Sometimes life stacks more on us than we can take Joe, we just have to pick ourselves up and keep going. Ya know?"

The fox looked back up at the rabbit who had that smile for him she normally had, the confident and reassuring one that made his heart leap. He nodded and let out a soft huff.

'That's right doggy, a little crush falling apart is nothing compared to what some people have to deal with at your age, but this is a nicer way to say it.' Karen mused the thoughts as she grinned and moved a paw up to ruffle the dog's ears. The way they flicked about made her think of her wolf and she felt her heart beat a bit faster. "So, what did you want to talk about, Joe? Here to confess your love for your manager? Should I tell Isaac he's history?"

The fox yipped at the rough treatment of his ears and hair before jerking back, a small smile showing on his muzzle. "N-no, it's nothing like that Karen."

She made a mock pout and put a paw on her hip. "Really? That's a shame, you're such a cute dog too." Joseph's tail fluffed out behind him a little, his ears perking up and his cheeks growing dark.

Karen gave him a devious grin as she made her way back into the shop. "Make sure if you find a bunny of your own, you treat them well. We are timid and fragile things." She half growled the words it seemed as she trotted by the fox flicking her tail confidently.

Ivory was waiting for her a bit deeper inside and gave her a smile, "Seems you handled that well."

"I decided better to tackle it hard and fast, defuse it before he started blubbering and confessing, or resigning because of his heartache." The rabbit shrugged and gave the cat a calm but cool glance. "You listened in on the whole thing?"

"Yep." Ivory nodded and looked away not wanting to maintain eye contact with Karen looking so serious.

"Seemed appropriate, I wanted him to realize there are worse things in this world than a little crush not panning out." The rabbit shrugged again then sighed. "I would have told you too eventually, Ivory. You are my friend and I trust you, it just didn't... it didn't need to come up, ya know?"

The cat perked a brow as one ear went up, "Yeah? I mean we all got our baggage Karen, I guess I just... you know I'm always there for you if you need to talk?"

"I appreciate that, if I ever feel it getting too rough I will let you know." The rabbit's normal stance and mannerism seemed to slowly return as she spoke the words to her.

"But Karen... did you have to tease him right there at the end?" The cat grinned showing her sharp teeth, her tail rolling about.

The rabbit gave her a grin of her own, "Well, he is cute... Might as well give him something to think about, build up some confidence so he isn't afraid to go after the next bunny."

"So it had nothing to do with wanting to feel sexy and wanted?" The cat purred the words and bumped Karen's hip with her own.

"I have no idea what you mean, it was all for him and his development into becoming a strong reliable dog for his future lover." Karen huffed the words in a haughty tone, sticking her nose up in the air.

"Ha! How magnanimous of you!" The cat purred as she scooted closer to Karen and puffed hotly into her ear. "By the by... when are you going to give me the dirty little details? How much is he packing, how many times did you do it? Was he as savage as he looks?"

Karen blushed and grinned at the barrage of questions before pulling away. "Ivory... those are personal details of mine and Isaac's relationship and it would be disrespectful to divulge them to you without his consent!"

"You know I will ask him myself if you don't tell me." The cat spoke the words flat and directly, placing a handpaw on her own hip.

The rabbit snorted back a giggle, "Please do... I would love to see the look on his face!"

Her brown and white ears flicked in irritation as the blonde huffed. "You're no fun! Tell me!"

"Maybe later after you get a few drinks in me." Karen grinned as she reached up and patted the cat's flicking ears before heading back out into the lobby.

--*--

Eight o'clock came around without any incident, the last few lingering customers were shooed out by Karen while the rest of the staff was cleaning up. Isaac came to the door and the rabbit felt her heart pace up just seeing him again. "Good to see you again, my wolf..." She whispered the last of the words in his ear leaning up on her padded-toes as the dog lowered himself so she could kiss his cheek.

"Likewise, my bunny..." The wolf growled the words, his paws staying to himself despite the urge to just grab her up and kiss her. Karen grinned at the dog and had him take a seat at one of the cushy loveseats near a coffee table.

"I just need to tidy up a few things and I will be wrapped up, give me five minutes, okay?" The dog nodded to Karen's words and she quickly slipped behind the counter. "Want me to make you something, Isaac?" She called out from behind the counter.

"Don't trouble yourself." The dog huffed the words politely.

"It's no trouble you dumb dog! Let me make you something!" Karen poked her head back over the counter giving him a fussy look.

"O-oh..." He rubbed the back of his head. "Uh... what about some tea?"

"What kind? Do you have a favorite?"

"I had this one years ago that was nice, something London in the name."

"You must mean a London fog. Yeah, I can make that easy!" The rabbit clicked her tongue in irritation, "Tch... I need to go get more lavender from the back." She quickly slipped back into the supply closet.

It took her a few minutes to locate the lavender and she came back out to the lobby setting it on the counter then huffed, she smelled cat and it was mingling with wolf. She glared over the counter seeing Ivory sitting right next to her dog. The rabbit felt her cheeks flush in anger as she set the tea to steep and stomped over to the cat.

"Welllll handsome... she said I would have to ask you directly, that's why I asked all that." Ivory purred the words, her rolling tail flicking about rapidly.

"T-that's pretty personal stuff to ask me, especially not knowing me and all." Isaac felt himself scooting over on the loveseat away from the cat and her scent. "Shouldn't you ask Karen?"

"Well, why don't you get to know me?" She cooed the words batting her blue eyes at the wolf and pushing her heavy chest out a little more obviously. "Maybe you could get to know me and Karen better, together."

"I was worried about the under-aged fox... huff... but I guess I'm going to prison for murder instead..." The rabbit snarled the words behind the cat, her fists clenched and her ears fully extended.

Ivory grinned over at Karen playfully. "I'm just picking on your new boyfriend, Kaaaaaren. I'm not serious!" She purred the words as Isaac's large crimson ears perked up.

"B-boyfriend?!" The dog exclaimed the words in surprise.

"Ivory!" The rabbit snapped the words in a sharp angry tone.

"Ho ho... seems I was mistaken? Well if you guys aren't dating, why are you so riled up, Karen? Isaac could get to know anyone he wants... better, yes?" The cat purred the words before turning to grin at the wolf next to her.

The rabbit bit her lower lip hard but put a handpaw on her hip, she felt her heart furiously thumping in her chest. The damn cat was right, outside of the bedroom she had no claim to him, technically he could do as he pleased.

Karen looked away to the ground for a moment before glancing back up at Isaac, the wolf had put on a confident grin, like the one he had when he met her that night. 'Son of a bitch, is this really happening?! And with my only friend of all people?!' Her mind reeled with the concerned thoughts.

"Ah, Ivory was it?" The dog huffed the words and looked at the cat with a wide smile.

"That's right, Isaaaac." She purred the words flicking her tail in a playful manner.

"Ah okay, I need to ask you a favor, would you do something for me?" He wagged his tail looking into her sparkling blue eyes with a smile.

The cat felt her breath catch as he looked right at her and felt her heart pick up pace. "Y-yeah what is it?"

"Get out of my girlfriends seat, please." The dog huffed the words in a flat tone and flicked his ears down into a droop.

Ivory looked shocked for just a moment, then grinned and quickly slid off the seat. "Ha... not bad, Karen. You did good..."

The rabbit watched the whole scene unfold, her cheeks feeling hot as she said nothing, her heart pounding in her chest.

"Oh, was it a London fog? I can finish that for you, Isaac." Ivory bumped her hip against Karen's and glared at her. "Sit down you dopey rabbit!" She hissed the words quietly as she slipped back behind the counter.

Karen felt the jarring bump and blinked a few times before quickly taking a seat next to the wolf. Isaac grinned and leaned in whispering into her ear gently, "Boyfriend huh?"

"I-I can explain, it's not what it seems!" Karen blushed under her fur and fumbled with the words as she looked away, her heart still pounding.

"It's fine, I don't mind." The wolf growled the words into her ears and moved an arm around her shoulder.

"R-really?" Karen huffed as she felt him forcefully draw her next to him, pushing her head against his chest gently, his strong handpaw stroking through her chocolate hair and rubbing at her ears. "I-Isaac..." She fussed at the display, hiding her face against his chest. "I'm at work..."

"You're off and there are no customers... only you and your friend, yeah? It will be fine." The dog huffed the words confidently as his padded-thumb slipped into the inner portion of her ear, slipping up where the fur was a little thinner. Karen shivered in response and then nodded.

A few minutes passed and Ivory came back with the tea for the wolf, setting it on the coffee table, grinning at the display. "She looks so happy, you know I wasn't serious right? Just wanted to see if you were going to be a scumbag to my Karen," The cat purred the words as she looked upon the two of them.

"Is that right? What a good friend you are, Ivory, you even faked your scent of desire for her and everything." The dog huffed the words nonchalantly as he gingerly picked up the tea and took a sip of it with his free paw.

The cat's ears perked up along with her tail, her cheeks growing warm at the words. "W-what?"

"I'm a wolf, kitty. We have good noses." He sipped the tea then gave the cat a playful grin. "Joking aside... thank you for watching out for her, and the tea."

Karen grumbled something under her breath then pulled away from Isaac's chest, his smell and warmth making her a little too cozy. "I should finish up cleaning so we can close the store... Ivory can't leave til I do."

Isaac gave her a nod, "Apologies for derailing your closing time."

Karen stood up and cut her gaze towards the cat, "Ivory, mind helping me with some things... in the back of the store?"

"S-sure" The cat trotted with Karen into the back of the store.

"What in the flying fuck was that?!" Karen snapped the words once they were back near the supply closet.

"Ha... I was just testing him to see if he was a good dog for you!" The cat purred the words playfully back as the rabbit glared at her.

"Like fuck you were, even I smelled you!" The rabbit stomped away for a second running her handpaws through her hair, her shoulders twitching as she let out a ragged sigh. "I thought... I really thought it was gonna happen like that... for a second."

"K-Karen, listen!" The cat trotted over to her huffing in a panic. "I wouldn't have, really!"

"Fucking say that to my face cat!" The rabbit turned and glared right at the cat who jerked at the cold vicious look her friend was giving her. "To my fucking face, without looking away!"

Ivory swallowed a lump and glanced up at Karen, "Look... you're my friend, my best friend Karen, I mean it."

The rabbit crossed her arms as if still waiting for the rest of it. "I'm still waiting, cat."

Ivory perked her ears up along with her tail and turned to fully face her now, tears starting to show in her eyes slightly as her cheeks burned. "Look you dumb bunny! Your boyfriend is hot, and he smells fucking hot. Yeah, it got to me, but I wouldn't okay?! I wouldn't hurt you like that, for any guy! He started to get to me a little but my intentions were what they were!"

Karen relaxed her stance a little and sighed out, feeling tension ease in her shoulders. "Y-yeah... I believe you... you couldn't lie to me if your life depended on it... and it just did by the way."

Ivory snorted at her and turned away, wiping her eyes with a sleeve before glancing back at the rabbit. "So we cool?"

"Yeah Ivory, we are. I'm sorry for doubting you." The rabbit gave the cat a smile and patted her head gently.

"Shit... don't be... the way he smelled, I was doubting myself for a minute there. You got a hell of a guy there, Karen."

The rabbit looked away gently, holding a handpaw over her wrist that still had an ever faint bruise on it from the other night. "Yeah... he is something else... so out of my league..."

"I don't know about that, Karen. You're pretty damn amazing. If I were a guy I would be clawing at your door nightly!" Ivory purred the words with a wide grin.

Karen flicked a mocha ear at the words, "Yeah speaking of that... get to know you and me together? What was that shit?"

Ivory laughed and blushed a little, grinning and giving a playful shrug. "D-don't worry Karen, he is all yours, I'm not trying to slip into the sheets with you guys! I mean not that I wouldn't mind if you both were game..." The cat purred and gave the rabbit a hungry grin.

"I doubt we are! I don't even know how serious we are yet, I couldn't even consider that! A-anyway... I'm glad this is sorted, now I gotta explain the whole boyfriend thing to him and about Joseph." The rabbit sighed and looked out towards the lobby.

"Why? He seemed cool with it, just roll with it." The cat purred the words with a grin. "Even called you his girlfriend and everything!"

"Yeah but that was to shake you off and make me feel better. It's not right for me to push this on him, or give him the impression I was saying things about us without talking to him first. Plus... I don't want to scare him off!" The rabbit felt her voice crack at the last part, a little pain following at the thought of it.

"Please, Karen... you seen how he looks at you? That dog is in love, no doubt about it." The cat purred the words into her ear gently but her voice wasn't saying she was joking.

Karen felt her cheeks heat up to blazing and her stomach twist into a knot. Her spring heat was happy to also get in on the act and dial-up with everything else. "Y-you are insane, I've known him for like two days!"

"So? Wait a few weeks, months, or years to say it. I don't care. I'm just calling it how I see it, Karen. You both look like you've got some serious chemistry going." The cat looked away with a frustrated sigh, "I'm actually pretty jealous, truth be told. I wish a guy would look at me like that."

"You have a new boyfriend every week, Ivory." The rabbit shot back while trying to calm her racing heart and get her body to relax.

"Sure a boyfriend I fuck or suck or whatever. A good time sure, but no one that picks me up from work, or falls asleep with me at night. Certainly not someone I would have a shower with the morning after." Ivory shrugs and nods towards the lobby. "We should wrap this up, your wolf is waiting for you."

Karen looked at her friend and felt a little pain in her heart at the realization, the words sounding a little sad coming from the cat. Her ears twitched at Ivory's words about her wolf waiting for her. "Y-yeah... I shouldn't keep my wolf waiting any longer."
