Chapter 23

In The Bear's Den

Arriving home, Bruno eased the door open and ushered KC inside. She always loved visiting him at his log cabin on Bainbridge Island. It was always so peaceful out here, and with no neighbors around, she could get as loud as she wished.

"Be it ever so humble..." Bruno rumbled.

"Oh Sugarbear, I _love_being out here, we always have _so_much fun!" KC crooned.

"'Dat we do Love Muffin, 'dat we do" Bruno chuckled. "Say, why don't you Slip into somthin' more comfortable, and I'll get things set up here for our little uh, 'Session.' Mkay?" he said, winking at the Stunning Raccoon Fem.

"Oh, Sugarbear...do you have any idea how _long_I've been looking forward to this?" KC called from the bedroom where she was peeling off her clothes and shaking and brushing out her fur. Just thinking about the time she spent with this big bear had kept her sanity when things would go awry at work.

"I'm just flattered 'dat you wanted 'ta see me again. After the last time, I wasn't sure." The bear replied from the living room where he was placing the finishing touches for their encounter. All the while, running through his mental checklist:

Fire in the fireplace, Check.

Towels, Check.

Candles, Check.

Lubricants, Check.

Her favorite beverages, Check.

Soft music on the stereo, pushing a button on the console as soft jazz filled the room. Check.

"Okay, Love Muffin. Ready when you are." Bruno announced as he removed the last of his clothes, looking up as Kacy entered the room, a smile on her muzzle.

"Oh, Sugarbear. This is beautiful." she said as she joined him. He loved the way her fur looked in the gentle glow of firelight.

"So, our usual routine tonight, or do you feel in the mood to experiment a little?"

"Oh, I just _loved_what we did last time, Could we start out with that." KC grinned seductively.

"Anything for a lady..." Bruno bowed as he gently guided her into position. "Now remember, if this is going to work, we need to ease you into this. So just try and relax, this time." the bear admonished. KC looked over her shoulder at him as she lay on the low padded table he had gotten just for her; it put her at just the right height. "Don't worry lover, I was just a bit startled last time. Just guide me through it and we'll both enjoy this, right?"

KC grinned. "This is much nicer than the floor and it puts me just right..." She ran her tail over his chest.

"Hey now," Bruno chuckled "Do I have to tie you down again?"

"Might be fun." KC leered, winking,

"Maybe later. Now get yourself ready..." As Bruno reached for a bottle of lube, KC wiggled her hips, getting herself set. Bruno moved her tail aside as he got into position, then upended the bottle and applied a copious amount to KC who squirmed a bit at the sensation.

"Oog, that feels so weird--hey, you warmed it up this time." she noted with satisfaction.

"Yup, cant have too much lube when it comes to this stuff. Now remember, you need to try and relax, it will make it go easer for you, the last thing I want to do is hurt you." He applied a generous amount of lube to himself.

"Okay, Sugarbear." KC said as she laid her head down as he placed his paws on her shoulders. "Give it to me, big boy..."

"Okay, I'm in position, now I'll go slow, so try not to flinch." Bruno said softly.

"OOOhh, God..." Kacy moaned as the bear took his first slow stroke, grunting slightly as he neared the base of her tail. "Breathe, Kitten, like I showed you." KC let her breath out in one long shuddering sigh. "Yesss...more..." She was tighter then he thought she'd be.

Bruno paused, not moving a muscle as she got her breathing under control. "That's better," he said as he slowly reversed his stroke. "Mmmmm, oh Gods that feels good. KC purred. Given there size difference Bruno slowly resumed his stroking, as the raccoon femme melted under his masterful Technique. Inarticulate moaning was all KC was capable of. Reaching for the lube again he once more applies a large dollop to KC and spread her legs wide, maneuvering her onto her side and tucking one leg against her ample chest. KC's eyes were aglow with the sensation of pleasure. He grabbed the base of her tail with one paw, working his claws around it, tugging it rhythmically, enjoying the way it made her shudder as waves of pleasure pulsed through her pelvic region and drawing the sensation down the full length of her tail to its tip as her eyes went glassy.

"Oh...Gods...that...is...won...der...ful!" KC managed between shuddering breaths.

"Time I gave those luscious thighs some attention." Bruno grinned down at her; he could smell her arousal. KC rolled onto her back, grinning at the bear between her legs as she braced her feet against his broad chest. His paws ran from her hips to her knees, rotating drawing up the inside of her thighs. KC gave a deep-throated shuddering moan as his paws glided over her sex, up across her belly then down her hips again. KC grabbed the bottle of lube and squirted it playfully on her belly fur, giggling at him.

"Oh, you're having _too_much fun here" Bruno chuckled as he continued his massage.

"Oh gods Sugarbear, I can't begin to tell you how good this feels."

"At least this time you're not sliding across the floor." he chuckled working his way down her legs and working the massage oil between the pads of her feet.

"Oh, oh, oh!" KC moaned, "That, ah, yesss! Oh, right there!" as she writhed under his ministrations. Finishing with long body strokes, KC was one limp fur.

"Oh gods" KC mumbled dreamily. "That was...wonderful, I'm floating...where did you get this massage table? It's perfect."

"It's a 'New Dawn' adjustable." "Pricey?" she asked.

"Eh, you're worth it." Bruno chuckled

_"_Where_did_you learn that tail pull? It felt incredible!"

"Like that, did you? My instructor said it was very therapeutic. it excites the nerve ganglia at the base of your tail. She said it stimulates the nerves throughout the pelvic arch, She said a lot of femmes carry a great deal of tension there and between there shoulder blades."

"You got that right," KC nodded. "I feel _so_much better...Shall we hit the showers?" she asked slowly gettting to her feet and holding out her paw to him.

Showering with KC was always such a joy, the big bear mused as he shampooed the massage oils out of her fur. He loved the sensation of running his paws through her thickly lathered fur. The way she would rub up against him, wrapping his paws around her ample chest. She was a true gem; in his line of work you couldn't let people get too close to you. They had a special relationship; he enjoyed the opportunity to pamper this sweet overworked fem. With her schedule of 80 to 100 hour workweeks, there was little time for the personal touches...he understood the need for down time.

Helping her out of the fur dryer, he sat her down and brushed out her fur.

"Oh gods Sugarbear, Do you have any idea what this means to me?"

"Oh, I have an idea, Love muffin." Bruno said with a smile on his muzzle.

"We've known each other, what. Three years or so?"

"Something like 'dat," he nodded.

"How are you feeling, is the vitamin E helping?" She looked up, concerned.

"Now 'dat you mention it..." he reached down and ran a paw over his war wound.

"Yeah, it is, thanks." smiling down at the beautiful fem in his lap.

"Would you like me to apply some for you?" KC asked.

"Um, okay, if you'd like."

She got up and retrieved the bottle, dumping about a dozen soft gel caps into her paw. Then kneeling between his knees, she would pierce them and squeeze the pure vitamin E oil onto her fingers...and gently massage it into the scar tissue. The jagged diagonal pink scar always made her blink in shock. It ran from the middle of his inside right thigh across to his left hip. The thought that he would never be able to have cubs made her sad, but... "Honey Bear?" KC asked as she worked.

"Mmmm? Did you want to know how I came about getting that?"

KC nodded. "Unless you'd rather not talk about it, and that's okay..." she hedged.

"Nah, S'okay. What you see there is the result of runnin' over an anti tank mine with a Humvee. Blew me clear out of the wreckage, docs didn't figure I'd live at first, much less walk again. But day didn't figure on a bear's stubbornness ether." he chuckled. "So after they discharged me, being an M.P., I went into security work, then hooked up wit' Max..." He saw the look in her lovely face.

"Oh, 'That'..." she nodded. He shrugged

"Fortunes of War, I guess...at least I'm alive and walkin'" he smiled.

"...but." KC paused.

"My friends are my family, hon. Friends like you, hell girl I'd merry you in a minute if you'd have a broken down old war horse like me, but we are professionals. Neither one of us is the marrying type..." Bruno paused, and Kacy lowered her head, ears drooping.

"Hey now, what we share is very special, ya know?" He raised her chin to look at him and smiled warmly. "Look, I get to run my paws all over 'dat hot sexy body of yours, we shower together, cuddle in bed, and sleep together, aaaand I get to pamper 'da hell out of youz. From where I'm sittin', it's a pretty good arrangement! Ask yourself, Love muffin, aren't we enjoying dis?"

"Well yeah...it _is_very, very special to me, Sugarbear. But don't you...miss..." KC faltered.

"The sex?" he finished for her as she nodded. "I really don't date, see. I realized I needed to shift my focus from my...crotch, to...other things..."

He winked at her, giving her a wicked grin then licked his eyebrow. KC felt the fur on her muzzle fluff.

"I didn't know you could _do...t_hat?" She said, a broad smile blossoming across her muzzle as he wagged his eyebrows at her.

"Best way 'ta get the last bit of peanut budda' outa' 'da jar..." He chuckled

"...and maybe other things too..." Kacy leered up at him as they both thought of ways of applying that talented tongue.
