Chapter 1

"Are you ready big boy?"

Cindy asked putting a hand on Spec's chest gently pushing him back into his couch as she straddled him across his lap. He swallowed hard as he looked at her wide eyed nodding. With a smile she straightened up reaching for the bottom of her navy blue tee shirt pulling it up over her head and off revealing her full breast still in her dark purple bra. Spec's gazed moved down to her chest as he thought to him self,

"I am truly a lucky bastard."

He reached out to touch them as his mind thought back to how all this even started.

**********

Spec sat at the check out counter of his book store, Twilight Eros. The wolf scratched his head mussing up the top of his silver grayish fur taking the pencil he held in his mouth following the empty rows of a cross word puzzle he was working on. There was a rather tall dark tan ferret sat next to him reading a comic collection laughing a bit. He closed the book and turned to Spec asking him a question.

"Do you think anyone is going to actually come and apply here?"

"Yes Jon I do. Contrary to your belief, sitting behind the counter and talking about and or reading comics on your day off isn't helping me here besides passing the time."

"Spec, come on. You know you love me."

Spec sighed and smiled as he shook his head with a chuckle. It was true they hadn't known each other as long as some of his other friends but they went through some serious things together. So much so that Spec was god father to two of Jon's children. To this day he questioned why Jon and his wife thought that was a good idea.

"Don't you have a family to go back to or something?"

Jon checked his watch before making a note of the page he was reading before standing up. He stood about three inches over Spec as they stood side by side.

"Yeah I should go to the store and get stuff for the wife to make dinner. You take care of yourself buddy."

Both reached out to give the other a hug with a light pat on the back before Jon headed off.

"You too Jon. I'll let you know if anything happens."

Spec waved as Jon left and he went back to his cross word puzzle. The next hour or so was slow with very few people coming in to browse. It was nearly closing time when the door opened and in walked a beautiful skunk. She was wearing a purple casual business suit with matching slacks. In her hand she had a file folder she held close to her chest. Spec looked up raising his eye brows as he caught sight of her green eyes. Quickly looking her up and down before his gaze returned to her face as her white semi spiky bangs were parted in front of her face. After reaching the counter she held out her hand to shake.

"Hello, I'm Cindy. I was wondering about your help wanted sign and would like to know if the position was still available?"

Spec was lost in thought for a second before he extended his hand to take hers. He composed him self quickly and cleared his throat before speaking.

"Sorry about that. My name is Spec. Yes it is still open..."

He paused to look around before speaking again.

"We are about to close but if you don't mind staying for a bit we can do an interview after I lock up."

She smiled and nodded as she now held her folder in front of her waist with both hands.

"I don't mind at all."

"Okay. Just give me a minute. Have a seat behind the counter and I'll be right with you."

He left her to lock up which wasn't too long. The shop was different in the sense that it also doubled as a home, the living area was above the actual store. The front end of the shop was modified to be display windows for small things such as book of the month or figures. The shop was part of the lobby of the building's original lay out. Spec's contractor friend helped him modify it to suit his needs. After making sure no one else was around Spec locked the front door and returned to Cindy.

"Sorry about that. Let us begin Ms..."

"Cindy is fine. No need for Ms."

"Alright then, Cindy it is. So, what interested you in working at Twilight books?"

Spec was a wreck inside. He was a decent speaker and had no trouble with small talk but he never cared to do interviews. It made him nervous and worried he would say something wrong or ramble. It didn't help that he was the one giving it but Cindy didn't seem to notice as she spoke.

"Well the truth is I love books. People are always saying that print as a medium is dying out but I don't believe that."

Spec sensed something as she continued talking reaching for the comic that Jon was reading earlier from the counter.

"I mean you get the same content on digital media but there is something about books..."

She continued as she ran her hand over the cover proceeding to open it running her fingers along the pages.

"The colors and textures of the covers and pages, there is just something magical about them. And that scent."

"What do you mean?"

"You know that unique scent you get when you hold a book. New and old, books just have that scent. There is just something about it."

"I do know what you mean."

Spec was lingering on her words. There was something about Cindy's body language as she handled that comic that was odd but alluring at the same time.

"Well, it is obvious you love books. Do you have any retail experience?"

"I actually brought a resume with me if you would like to look it over."

She handed the folder over to Spec who took it with a smile and a nod.

"Thank you."

He opened the folder glancing over the information provided. It was a bit shocking as her previous work history was impressive. Accounts and inventory at major companies among basic retail jobs from when she was younger stood out the most. She was obviously over qualified to be a sales person but secretly Spec didn't want her to leave just yet.

"Cindy, you are way over qualified to do other things then work at a small book store. I mean... You could be making insane amounts of money from major companies."

"I know I could but it's not always about the money you know? I guess I'm just tired of doing the big company thing and want to try something else. Make my own way doing something instead of just saving up and being unhappy."

"I know that feeling all too well."

Spec nodded as her words pulled at something inside him. He growled softly in his throat, something he did while thinking sometimes. He looked back up at Cindy and stood up handing the folder back to her.

"All right Cindy, when can you start?"

Her eyes go wide as her mouth nearly drops open before turning into the worlds widest smile as she jumps up to hug him.

"Oh thank you so much!"

She nearly throws him off balance as her arms wrap around his neck. He is able to catch both of them as he regains his footing. The embrace allowed him to pick up her scent. It was sweet but it wasn't artificial like perfume. It was natural and it aroused him. Cindy soon realized what she was doing and quickly let go of him a bit embarrassed at her actions.

"I'm sorry... I hope you won't hold that against me."

Spec smiled with a chuckle as he patted her on the shoulder.

"Don't worry about it. Why don't you come in on Monday and we can get your paper work start?"

"That will be fine. Thank you again."

Spec guided her to the front door and opened it for her to leave.

"Have a good night Cindy. I'll see you Monday at 9am."

"See you then. Thank you again."

She was giggling a bit as she left. She turned back waving before walking down the street. Spec smiled and waved in return keeping an eye on her till she was out of site. Once out of view he sighed and lightly banged his forehead against the door frame.

"She had to be a skunk... She is going to be trouble, I know it."

In his mind he knew something was going to happen. Not because he disliked skunks. It was because he was attracted to them. And now one would be working for him.
