Marshall Law (4)

Wolfie Steel & Kausn_Husky.

(My thanks to Kausn_husky for agreeing to help me with this story, all of the characters in this story are mine, however, Sergeant Lucas Doyle has been given over to Kausn, as hopefully he will be able to add something to the story)

We arrive back at Lucas's place and to be fair to the Doberman, the only exterior tell tale signs that he has a disability is the wheelchair ramp and handrail that leads up to the front door of the house, Lucas applies the breaks on the wheels of my chair and then heads up to open the front door.

With the door open he returns to my wheelchair and disables the breaks, he then pushes me up the ramp with practiced ease and into the house, once inside again there is very little to suggest that Lucas has any form of mobility issues, oh sure there is a stair lift to take us from the ground floor to the upper floor, and the rooms are set out with slightly more space to accommodate a wheelchair, but other than that the house is just a normal house, wooden floors throughout, fairly new kitchen appliances and TV and stuff, it is pretty obvious to me that Lucas knows how to live life.

"Well Marshall, welcome to your new home, there is nowhere in the house that is not accessible to you, I have a wheelchair which lives permanently in the bedroom, so when it is time for bed I will help you into the stair lift, I will then go upstairs and position the chair so that I can help you from the lift and into the chair. Now I want you to be under no illusion, I am going to be with you every step of the way, so don't even think of trying to be independent, at least not yet anyway"

I hold up my paws in mock defeat.

"Don't worry Sergeant Doyle; I will be a good dog"

A look of suspicion creeps across his muzzle but is soon gone.

"Okay Todd first things first, do you want anything to eat or drink?"

After so long of eating and drinking at the hospital I was ready for a full on banquet, but I realise that I have to start changing my life and my ways.

"Thanks Lucas, if you have a coke and maybe a sandwich I will be happy"

Lucas vanishes into the kitchen to begin getting my lunch ready; as he works he continues to talk.

"Next on the agenda is your clothing and your car, if you give me the keys to your house and car I can head back to the station by taxi and collect your car, I can then go to your place and bring the clothes that you will need, I can put your car on my drive, to make sure that it is kept safe and ready for when you can drive it again"

I chuckle at the thought of ever being able to walk again let alone drive my beloved Mustang, but to keep the peace I take the two sets of keys from my pocket and put them gently on the coffee table. Lucas walks back into the living room with a plate of sandwiches and carrying a can of coke, he puts the items down on the table in front of me.

"So I have to open the can myself? I thought you were supposed to be my carer"

Lucas raises one of his eyebrows.

"Marshall, you are temporarily paralysed from the waist down, so I think that you can manage to open a can by yourself, and don't even think that I will be feeding you, I had to make do with what I had, so now it is time for you to do the same"

I know that Lucas is right of course, it is time that I started doing what I can for myself, to help take some of the strain from his shoulders. I move my wheelchair closer to the table and I reach out for my lunch, it takes a little more manoeuvring but eventually I get to a spot where I can reach my lunch with ease.

Lucas now goes into full on carer mode and checks my bag to see if it needs emptying yet, I blush deeply knowing that another guy is now responsible for relieving me of my waste, I try to take my mind off it by looking around the room, but that only makes me feel worse as in the far corner I see a commode.

Now I am even more determined to get back on my own two foot paws. Lucas changes my bag and then goes to the bathroom to empty the first, once that is done he comes back into the living room and picks up both sets of my keys, he then takes out his cell phone and orders a taxi.

"Now Todd, I am going to be away for a couple of hours so if you look on your phone you will see that I have put a simple message in the drafts section, it simply says Help, so all you have to do is send that message to my phone and I will get back here as quick as possible, but please don't use that message unless it is really urgent"

With that said there is the sound of a car horn outside, announcing the fact that the taxi has just arrived. I watch as Lucas heads towards the door, man I can't wait to get the use back of my lower body, because then that sexy Doberman's ass is mine.

As soon I hear the closing of the front door I decide to try my paw at wheeling myself around the lower level of my temporary home, I wheel myself into the kitchen with ease and I see a door that leads to the rear gardens, the weather outside is quite decent and so I decide to head outside to get some fresh air.

I wheel myself to the door and see a button located on the wall within reach that will obviously open the door for me, I press the button and the door slowly opens outwards to reveal a ramp that has a slight incline to it as well as safety railings either side of it.

I tentatively put my front wheels on the beginning of the ramp, well so far so good, I now move forward slowly and get my back wheels onto the ramp, my hand paws are holding tightly to the wheel rims so that I don't fly down the ramp at an out of control pace. I slowly make my way down the ramp by allowing the rims to slip through my hand paws while still keeping a good grip.

Suddenly I find myself at the end of the ramp, to my left is the end of the safety railing, on the end is another button, I push the button and the door closes, with the door closed I now begin my exploration of the garden. I can see that Lucas has put a lot of effort into making the garden as wheelchair friendly as possible, from the smooth winding pathways to the raised flower beds, in the distance I can even see what looks like a garden pool or pond and so I make my way towards it.

As I move I begin to breathe in the fresh, clean air that is filled with the fresh scent of flowers, I stop for a moment and take huge gulps of air in, well let's face it, this is the first real chance that I have had to get a decent amount of fresh air and daylight in quite a while and so I am damn well gonna make the most of it.

Eventually I arrive at the pool and find that it is in fact an ornamental fish pond, obviously well stocked and cared for by Lucas; I can see everything from huge Goldfish to some even bigger Coy Carp. I sit and watch as the fish swim and play effortlessly in the water, and I find myself finally beginning to relax.

I lift my eyesight up and begin to focus on the distant view, from the valleys to the hillsides, this place is truly a beautiful place, a place that I could see myself growing old in, a place that I can see a lot of happy memories being forged in, and above all a place where I might learn to walk again at.

The saying You must learn to walk before you can run is never more apt in my case, I have taken something as simple as walking for granted ever since I was a kit, and now to have all of that taken away from me leaves me with a bitter taste in my mouth, it also increases my determination to get back on my own two foot paws as soon as is possible.

How long I have been in the garden I have no idea, but suddenly I feel a pair of hefty hand paws resting upon my shoulders.

"Well I see you have worked out how to find your way into the garden, and I have to say that I am impressed that you haven't destroyed the house in the process"

A weak smile graces my muzzle as I look up to the sweet Doberman's face.

"I just needed to see if I could manage to navigate my way through the house, plus it gave me the chance to get some much needed fresh air and also to look at the stunning views"

I place my left hand paw on top of Lucas's right hand paw.

"Lucas this is not easy for me to say so please hear me out, I know that I can at times be a complete pain in the ass, and I can seem ungrateful and yes even downright rude, that is all bravado though, deep down inside I am frightened, you know what they say, elegant as a swan on the surface of the water, paddling like the devil beneath, I just want you to know that while I have been out here I have done some soul searching and the soul that I have found is you, and so for that I thank you, and I make a promise to you, I will do everything that I am able to make your life as smooth as I possibly can"

Lucas removes his hand paws from my shoulders and then walks around to the front of my wheelchair; he then kneels before me and looks deep into my eyes.

"Well Todd, I know how much that hurt for you to say so I know that it was said with conviction, I can also appreciate how difficult this situation is for you, after all not so long ago I was in the exact same position as you are now, I was afraid of what the future would bring, I was too ashamed to ask for help because I knew that my accident was due to my own stupidity and I didn't want anyone to be put out of place by helping me, but then one day I had an image in my mind, an image of a guy that I looked up to and yes even lusted after, he was larger than life and just as intimidating, he was you, I thought that maybe, just maybe if I got myself fixed up that you would notice me and would possibly become my friend, maybe more"

I feel a lump in my throat as I hear the fact that I had inspired Lucas to get himself back on his own two foot paws after his accident, Lucas slowly leans in and gently kisses my muzzle, if I'm being honest here I was seriously dreading the first kiss from Lucas because of his breed, I mean let's face it, everyone has I'm sure heard a story where a Doberman has either attacked someone or bitten someone, but I can tell you now that a Doberman muzzle is pretty much the same as any other, yes it has the ability to do some permanent damage, but it also has the ability of being so soft and gentle.

I wrap my arms around Lucas's head and pull him in a bit closer, if truth be told I didn't want this kiss to end, but like all good things it does end, we slowly pull apart leaving a slight saliva bridge between our muzzles which inevitably breaks.

"Oh gods Todd, you have no idea how long I have wanted to do that"

I smile bashfully and then gently stroke his powerful chest. Now I know what everyone is saying, that I'm only interested in Lucas because of what he is offering me and yes up until the second visit to my bedside by Lucas that was so very true, but now I find myself beginning to fall head over heels in love with a sexy assed Doberman....who knew!
