Oh, to be loved (2)

By: Wolfie Steel.

_ _

We arrive back at the house that Travis calls home; it's not a big place considering the obvious amount of money he earns. He leads us inside the house and instantly I am hit by the shear opulence that fills Travis's home, I can also see that with the long hours that he works keeping a tidy home is a little difficult for him.

It is not exactly a messy teenagers bedroom, more a well lived in place and from the looks of things it wouldn't take me long to get things back in order, but I don't get a chance to gauge the rest of my tasks as I am handed a huge fluffy towel.

"Okay Jackson, follow me and I will show you where the shower room is, then I will let you get a decent shower while I sort out some temporary clothing for you. We will of course be going into town and getting you some proper threads, but I want you to get used to having a roof over your head first"

We finally get to the top of the staircase and Travis points out the shower room; I begin to head towards it when he catches my ear with his voice.

"Just throw your old rags out once you are undressed and then when you are done with your shower turn right as you leave the shower room and you will walk into the guest bedroom, I will leave your temporary clothes on the bed in there and then you can use the room as your room"

I nod gently as I vanish inside the shower room and close the door behind me, once inside I can see that Travis has spent quite a lot of money kitting this place out, the shower cubicle itself will easily house two substantial Equines should that day ever arrive.

I sit for a while on the toilet and just give myself time to think about what I have been through in the last few years, leading right up to this moment, can this really be the turning point in my life, and god knows that I am in need of it.

I stand from the toilet seat and begin to peel what is left of my clothing away from my body, as I work the battered clothing begins to disintegrate and just falls to the floor. I pile it up and open the door; I then dump the mess of clothing outside and then close the door again and step into the shower cubicle.

I turn on the water and for the first time in who knows how long warm water hits my Equine body, I let out a gentle but satisfied whinny. I let the water flow over my body, I look down to the base of the shower and I can see all of the loose grime just rinsing out of my fur and mane without the use of any soap and it feels good, I look to the shelf inside the cubicle and I see that Travis has all manner of shower gels and shampoos especially to keep a horses fur in tip top condition, and I know that it is Travis's own cleaning products but until I get some money I decide that he won't begrudge me using a little to get my fur as clean as it can be.

I spend three quarters of an hour in the shower trying to make myself look in some way respectable again. I turn off the water and then step from the cubicle, I start to wrap the towel around my waist but as I do so I catch a vision of myself in the mirror, it is now that the full horror of what has happened to me hits home and hits hard.

I finish wrapping the towel around my waist and then turn away from the mirror; I exit the shower room and just burst out into tears. Travis hears me crying and races up the staircase, he can now see my naked upper body, he closes his eyes and gently shakes his head, and then without warning he throws his arms around me and just holds me tight.

"Well Jackson, I would say that your confidence, energy and belief in yourself are all pretty close to rock bottom, I was going to use this time to talk more to you about the job, but now there is a change of plan, you need to be repaired and I know that isn't going to happen overnight, but we can make a bloody good start, so get dressed in the clothes that I have laid out for you, mercifully you are not that much shorter than me, and the shoes that I have left you might be a size too big, but put them on anyway and then you and I are going out to see a movie, once that is done we will go for a proper meal in a restaurant that I use quite a lot, you deserve to be saved and that is what I intend to do"

Travis gently uses his hoofed hands to wipe away my tears; he then leads me into the guest bedroom where I find some really smart looking clothes waiting for me. I begin to slowly undo my towel hoping that Travis will take the hint and give me some privacy; I don't want him to see my lower half, because I know that it is in much worse state than the top.

Unfortunately for me Travis doesn't take the hint, but I am now passed the point of no return as my towel drops to the floor. I hear a soft gasp from Travis as he now sees me in all my glory.

"Oh gods Jackson, you are in a worse condition than I thought, now I have to come clean here, when I met you this morning it wasn't the first time that I had seen you, in truth I have been watching you for close on three weeks, I just never had the guts to come and speak to you until today, but if I had found some balls three weeks ago I could have prevented a lot of what has happened to you, I'm just sorry that I let things go this far"

I pick up the pair of boxers that Travis had put on the bed for me; I gingerly put them on and walk over to where Travis is standing.

"I am not proud of myself Travis that is why I was waiting until you left before getting dressed, I didn't want you to see me this way"

Travis regains his composure and then gently places a hoofed hand on my shoulder.

"No Jackson its okay, it just took me a little by surprise. I want you to know this though, from here on in things are going to be so much different for you, I know that it won't happen overnight but I will make you into a proud stallion once again"

I blush a little as I continue to get dressed, I guess now you can say that I have nothing left to hide from Travis now, he has seen me at my worst and yet he is still prepared to give me a second chance in life.

It is amazing what a change of clothes will do for a guys confidence, oh sure I am still a bag of bones, but now my fur and mane is clean, and I am finally dressed in respectable clothing. Travis stares at me with wide eyes.

"I know that you are wearing clothes that I gave you, but they seem to suit you so well, so imagine how you will look in a set of your own new clothes"

I let out a gentle but audible sigh.

"Look Travis, yes I would love to get dressed up like this in my own clothes, but as I'm sure you are aware, that costs money, even if you are a banker, and being that up until a little while ago I was residentially and financially challenged, in other words broke and homeless, I don't have the resources to afford such things"

Travis grins a sly grin as he picks up his wallet and car keys and heads for the door.

"Jackson, as of two hours ago you became my employee, so that now means that you need to start following my instructions without question, so, I would like you to come with me into town as I have a shopping trip to complete"

My ears lay down against my head at first, well let's face it I haven't been in the employment game for some time so it is going to take some getting used to again, without question though I follow the stallion out through the door of the apartment, Travis wiggles his shapely ass as if it is being used as a carat to lead me along, damn why does he have to have an ass to die for?

As I leave the apartment Travis secures the door and then we head to the garage, the journey gives me chance to try and guess what flash car he has hidden away, maybe a top of the range Porsche? No Travis doesn't strike me as a Porsche prick, maybe it's a BMW of some description? Yeah that could work, I mean he likes an ordered life and a BMW is precision German engineering, one car that I totally discount is a Mercedes, some of them are so much like hairdressers cars now a days.

Suddenly we are standing in front of the garage doors; Travis pulls a key fob from his pocket and presses the button, the door opens and reveals a car that I would never have even given a thought to, yes it is a convertible, a Morris Minor convertible.

I stand there open mouthed and in a state of shock, I hear the giggle from Travis's muzzle.

"Hey, you can keep your posh modern cars, they are always targets for people who want what you have but can't get legally, this on the other paw it doesn't scream City Annalist, it is understated and doesn't draw attention, except for when it occasionally breaks down"

I can honestly say right here and right now, that I have just had one of the sweetest journeys into town that I have had in a long time, for once in my life nobody is looking at me as if I have stepped in something, in fact no one is looking at me at all.

We find a parking area and slip into an open spot; we both clamber out of the car and then head towards the city centre. I guess you could say that Travis is a horse that is stuck between two time zones, on one hand his car says that he lives in the 1960's, on the other, his love of gadgets says that he is a thoroughly modern horse.

Our first port of call leads me to think that Travis is going to purchase himself a new suit, this is a top London tailor and I know that everything in store is going to cost more than I used to earn in a year. As soon as we enter the shop one of the male assistants, a well bred husky, heads towards us.

"Good morning Mr. Hampton and what can I do for you this fine morning?"

Travis greets the husky in kind.

"Good morning Tristan, I would like to purchase a new dress suit please for my new employee here"

My ears perk straight up as I hear this, the husky looks at me and smiles a knowing smile.

"If you'll forgive me saying this sir, your new employee is a little on the thin side so would you like me to tailor it to the size he is now or would you like me to allow for some growth?"

Travis now looks at me.

"Well Jackson, what do you think?"

My brain suddenly registers the question.

"Erm well I guess we need to allow a bit of room for growth because I won't be able to afford to keep buying new suits every time I have a decent meal"

Travis nods his head and then replies to the husky.

"Adjust the height for Jackson, but use my waist measurements as pretty soon he will be pretty close to my size, oh and I want his details recorded and his own account opened if that is okay?"

The husky curtly nods his head and then removes the measuring tape from around his neck. Ten minutes later, plus one slightly embarrassing boner, we are standing at the payment area.

"Okay that will be all for now Tristan, I will pay for this new suit, but if he needs anything else in the future then I want him to have his own account"

The husky stands at his computer and takes down my details, including my measurements, he then feeds them into his computer.

"Okay Mr. Taylor, you now have an account here at Hastings Suits, so any time you need any adjustments to your suit, or if you need something new, just pop in and we will be happy to serve you"

The husky now turns to Travis.

"Okay Mr. Hampton, you say that you will be paying for this new suit today, so that will be two thousand pounds please sir"

I nearly faint as Travis hands over his gold card; I have never owned anything that cost so much.

"Thank you sir, the suit will be ready in three days, if you could both pop in on that day I will then make sure that the suit fits well and make any final adjustments to it"

Travis smiles at the husky.

"We will be here Tristan, have a good day"

We both turn and leave the store with the husky wishing us both a pleasant day. We walk in relative silence for a while and it seems that Travis can sense that I'm still recoiling from the shock of what has just happened.

"Look Jackson, I know that you are going to protest like mad but before you do let me just say this, I do on occasion have some well heeled friends over for dinner, and since you are now living with me it stands to reason that you will be joining us, after all, I kind of want to show you off, and so I want you to look as beautiful as I know that you can"

I blush to a dark red as I hear the words fall from Travis's muzzle, if there was ever any doubt that I would soon end up fucking Travis's brains out, that doubt is now all but smashed to smithereens.

Four hours later and I am dressed in some new designer gear, I have five bags of other new stuff hanging from my hands, I also have a new shiny set of hooves, man I feel like a million dollars, Travis also has his arms full of bags of various shapes and sizes, and also a very well dented gold card. We are both now hungry and tired, and so we carry the bags back to the car so that we can offload them, Travis puts some in the trunk and the rest on the back seat, he then covers them with a blanket so that prying eyes can't view the items beneath.

We then walk into a posh looking cafe, we find an empty table and take a seat, a moment later an assistant takes our orders and we sit and wait for them to arrive.

"Travis, thank you for today, you have given me back most of my self confidence but there is no way in hell that I can ever repay you for everything that you have spent on me"

Travis gently lays a hoofed hand on top of my own.

"Jackson, all I want from you is your happiness, but if you feel that you want to repay me then I can think of an easy way for you to do that, I haven't yet formerly asked you so I think that now is the time, Jackson Taylor, I know that you are now working for me and that usually business and pleasure are not usually good bed mates so to speak, but the more time that I spend with you, the more I find that I am falling for you, and so with that in mind, would it be cool if you and I could....erm....ya know...get together?"

It is now official, my mind is now completely blown, though I was kind of expecting something like this it still hit me like a ton of bricks, but tell me this guys, in my situation what would you do? There is just one thought that is springing to my mind, and that thought is, Oh, to be loved.
