Brief Author's Note: I don't know where this'll end up going in the end, but I do have a good idea of where it's going to go from here. I mention songs, and artists throughout, and for ease of reader reference am not going to bother altering them from how they appear IRL; please feel free to give them a listen on youtube, I do feel they add necessary flavor to this story. Also be advised this story is definitely going to maintain it's M rating, though I will try to be tasteful about it. I've had the general idea for this story kicking around my head for the past month, or so, and it feels really good to get back into writing which I haven't done in years. Oh, and since i can't find a way to put in an n like is in the word espanol please know that the word Montana is not pronounced like the state.
Sunday 09:00 [Week One, Day Zero]
Taking a drag from the cigarette in his right paw he looked up at the massive building in front of him, Zootopia Police Department it read. Inhaling through his nose, and letting out a sigh he took a healthy pull from the coffee in his left paw, careful to keep the file tucked into his left arm pit in place, savoring the pumpkin spice latte. As he continued to stare at the facade as mammals went to and fro his thoughts wandered first to how happy he was that it was fall, and that he got to enjoy his sadly seasonal beverage. Licking his lips dry so as not to overly wet the butt of his now half gone cigarette they shifted to why he was here before this edifice of law enforcement. With another sigh he thought to himself 'life goes on, and I keep putting one foot in front of the other. It's gotten easier these past months, thank the gods for my sister, I wouldn't be here let alone able to do this if it weren't for her'. With another drag he noticed his now nearly dead cigarette 'these damn things never last like they used to... I'd go for another, but I came here with a purpose'. Leaning back against the passenger door of his car he ignored his cooling latte to finish his cig, and tossing it to the pavement he crushed the cherry with a calloused toe pad before he returned his attention to his now half gone coffee proceeding to chug what was left.
As he walked toward the entrance he tossed the now empty Snarlbucks cup into a nearby trash can, before heading in. Taking the time to adjust to his surroundings, he found it hard to miss the front desk dominating the foyer manned by a mass of fur, and flesh he had to focus on momentarily to realize was a cheetah with a fairly friendly looking muzzle. As he approached the station receptionist said cheetah's gaze, and focus were obviously drawn to him. Seeing this he couldn't help but grin thinking to himself 'yeah, it's not every day you see a wolf as tall as me neko-chan'. Reaching the desk he glanced at the nameplate on it, before sticking out his right paw for a shake saying "Morning, Clawhauser is it? I'm here to see the Chief is he busy at the moment?"
"Let me check, mister... uh...?" Clawhauser responded looking confused as he shook the offered paw
"Sorry, my manners escaped me hehehe. I'm Will, William Grimm, currently in between being a deputy with the Ulfhaven County Sheriff's Dept., and the newest officer here at precinct one. Though I'm supposed to report in for duty tomorrow, I wanted to go over my file with the Chief plus get some uniforms from the quartermaster among other things. I mean I'd love to work in my fatigues, but that'd send the wrong message since I'm one of you guys now" Will clarified with another chuckle.
At the wolf's words the cheetah's gaze shifted to what he was wearing, and he asked "You were a soldier? That doesn't look like the standard uniform."
"I was special forces in a unit under ZIA command, but it's the kind of classified where if I tell you any more I'll have to kill you" Will responded with sudden seriousness he swiftly shifted out of by asking "so you gonna page the Chief for me, handsome?"
Will couldn't help but smile at Clawhauser's blush, and flustered response as his remark caught him off guard.
"Uh... oh. Yeah, sure." the cheetah replied before pressing a button at the base of the mic on his desk, and spoke into it.
"Uh... Chief? Sorry to bug you, but there's a wolf here to see you. Says he's the new guy."
"New guy? Oh, yes just give me a minute then send him up" the Chief's deep voice resonated through the speaker
"Alright, so the Chief's office is on the third floor at the other end of the building from here, can't miss it." Clawhauser said to Will, still blushing slightly
"Thanks, buddy. Say you mind if I snag one of your donuts?" Will asked, eyeing the pink box intently.
"Sure, help yourself" Clawhauser responded turning the pink box to face the wolf in front of him, and opening it.
"Well now I have to ask which one you like least, and are willing to part with? From the looks of it you love donuts as much as I do, and I don't want to take your favorite" Will said, an honest ear to ear smile across his muzzle.
"Oh, you don't have to worry about that Will. I have another box around here somewhere" Clawhauser responded a slight smile forming on his muzzle.
"Then I'll take this maple buttermilk one; Thanks again for this. Oh, and by the way I didn't happen to catch your first name." Will said.
"It's Benjamin" Ben replied
"Well, Benji I'll see you around for sure hehe. I look forward to working with you" Will said before walking off towards the stairs their location clearly marked by obvious signage.
As Clawhauser swiveled in his chair to watch the wolf walk away he couldn't help but notice the swish in the wolf's tail as he devoured the pastry in two bites with obvious relish, and wondered to himself if that tail would feel coarse, or soft before shaking his head to clear the thought. Turning around he jumped slightly in surprise at Officer Wolford looking at him with a jovial expression on his muzzle.
"Ah! John, you startled me" Ben said as he gazed down, and noticed the nameplate on his desk clearly read both his first and last name.
"You were distracted by that wolf you were flirting with, so it wasn't hard to do. I saw the look on your face as you offered him a donut" John said with a laugh
"He asked for one, so I shared. And I think he was the one flirting with me..." Ben replied his eyes glancing off to his right.
"Oh, really? So who is he? It's not every day we see an arctic wolf here in Savanna Central let alone one easily a head taller than any wolf here. I bet he could stare eye level with a polar bear" Wolford enquired.
"Yeah, I mean my nameplate has my full name on it, but he asked me for my first name anyway, and he called me handsome" Clawhauser replied, a blush returning to his muzzle as he continued "His name is Will Grimm, and he's the new guy starting tomorrow; transferring from the Ulfhaven Sheriff's Dept. He said he's here to talk to the Chief about some stuff, and pick up his uniforms from the quartermaster"
"Ulfhaven huh? From what I hear that place is as full of wolves, as Bunny Burrow is rabbits. Well, anyway when you get a chance let the Chief know I'm just here to catch up on some paperwork from my midnight shift yesterday. Wouldn't want the Chief chewing me a new tail hole" Wolford said with a laugh before he walked to his desk.
. . . . . . . . .
Standing in front of the Chief's office Will let out a sigh, and took the moderately stuffed file from under his left armpit into his right paw preparing himself for the conversation he needed to have with his new boss. Lifting his left paw he knocked on the door, and with an 'enter' from the Chief opened it stepping through to stand before the barrel chested cape buffalo.
"I'm a busy mammal as you no doubt can tell Grimm, so cut to the chase" Chief Bogo said sternly.
"Well, sir for starters I'm here to go over my file with you so you know just who you're dealing with, and we can be on the same page" Will replied with the due respect one shows a commanding officer.
"I've read over your file from the Ulfhaven Sheriff. Only six months on the force, and as her direct second in command at that with a rather glowing evaluation I might add. From the shared last name, I assume she's a relative. I hope you're not expecting likewise preferential treatment here because you won't get it. You're still green from where I sit" Bogo said with an obvious undertone of derision.
"Yes, sir she's my sister, but no this is the file I wanted to discuss with you" Will said with easy professionalism, as he set the file folder on the Chief's desk with a light slap of paper on wood.
Looking at it the Chief's eyes widened slightly, but perceptibly noticing the official seal of the ZIA, and the red stamp that read 'Classified' while the wolf before him continued.
"You see, sir that while yes for the past six months I've served as my sister's deputy up until roughly a year ago I was under the employ of the ZIA specifically as a special forces operative in a black ops unit, and not just any black ops unit either. I know how heavily redacted that file is sir, but please feel free to peruse it at your leisure. All that matters at present is what's at the end, and the death of the CLAWS Unit if you'll permit me to speak freely, and listen to what I need to tell you"
"Permission granted; I'm all ears Grimm" Bogo said, his face unreadable.
"Since I'm sure you're not in the circles where CLAWS would be known to you let me start with that. The ZIA hand picked us for our skills regardless of species, and used us when what was required was more than just your average wetwork. My areas of expertise were, and are long range marksmanship, and infiltration. It was my skill in the latter that really made a name for us, they called me 'Beast' for a reason, and when a mission went south I was the ace up the collective sleeve for our unit. Especially with my spotter 'Whisper' who was also our electronic warfare specialist at my side. The missions we took on were almost entirely of the suicide variety, and they became our forte; all we ever needed was a solid, and secure extraction. Some of the best work we did, and that I am most proud of, was the elimination of mammal traffickers, and razing dens of such activity to the ground. Eventually however, we became too good at what we did to remain the ghosts we were, especially with what I am capable of in combat situations, and how as a unit we came to rely on that ability in more than just a pinch. Thanks to me, and this is a guilt I do bear, we became a liability that could not be allowed into the public awareness at all costs."
Will chose this moment to pause, take a deep breath, and sit in one of the chairs in front of the Chief's desk before continuing.
"So it came to pass we were given what was to be our last mission. We were tasked with infiltrating the remote jungle compound of the Montana Cartel, retrieving enough evidence for the local government to put them away, and if possible eliminate any present leadership we could. Our plan of attack was simple 'Whisper', and I were to go in quiet, and come out quiet while our other three squad mates waited in the wings to offer a distraction if the alert was raised; and for our part that went off without a hitch. Everything went south when the time came for our helo. extraction. It wasn't there at the extract point, and wasn't going to come either... our handler 'Sky' broke radio silence to inform us of such, and thus when we figured we could make our own getaway by heading back into the compound and stealing one of the cartel's choppers, well the alert had been raised alright, and despite the advantage of cover thanks to the moonless night, five operatives against easily ten times that number in cartel thugs do not good odds make. We made it back into the compound undetected, and were a third of the way to the helipads before the time for silence was done, and we had to let loose with everything we had. It's a testament to how well we worked as a team that we managed to make it another third of the way even as 'Dagger', and 'Rambo' fell in the firefight. At that point there were now only three of us against roughly three dozen, and as much as it pains me to say it the tide of battle was against us utterly, and if what happened next hadn't happened we probably wouldn't have made it out of there. I saw 'Whisper' get wounded, and fall... to see the mammal with your heart downed like that..." Will's voice hitched with emotion, and he took a deep breath before continuing "I thought she was dead, and I utterly lost it. I went berserk letting my primal instincts take over. I bit the head off the hostile nearest to me then ripped into and apart two more before I howled in my fury and despair. From what 'Revolver' tells me that sound still haunts his nightmares to this day, and to have seen the faces of those thugs to a mammal struck dumb by the sound... you'd swear the devil himself had come forth to collect their souls, and his countenance was that of a blood drenched wolf. I let loose all of my control over my nature at that point of strange stillness, and when I was done none of them were left alive, but reinforcements were inbound so I took up 'Whisper's' body in one arm, and 'Revolver' in the other, and booked it to the nearest chopper. While I got it started, and focused on getting us the fuck out of there 'Revolver' grabbed the med kit he found and did his best to patch her up. I cannot tell you how relieved I was when he told me she wasn't dead like I had thought, and that he managed to stop most of the bleeding. So I flew us to the nearest hospital, a good half hour away by air, and at full speed no less where they rushed her into the O.R. and did what they could. Through 'Revolver' translating, the doctor informed me that they'd removed the bullets, and repaired the damage, but she'd lost too much blood and wasn't expected to make it because they didn't have any compatible blood on hand. I tell you the sheer force of my response nearly gave the doc a heart attack, because I happen to be a universal canidae donor. After the subsequent transfusion, and I had ordered the doc to take some extra just in case 'Revolver' and I discussed what to do next considering how disastrously our relationship with the ZIA had come to an end. What we decided was that he'd stay behind to make sure she recovered properly, and in peace not to mention keep our presence there under wraps while I'd ditch the chopper, and do my best to lay low since we figured I was the real reason the ZIA betrayed us. Leaving her was the hardest thing I've ever done, but I did it to keep her safe, and alive. That is how I came to return home last year a very broken mammal, but thanks to my sister I've managed to look forward again, and start piecing my life back together."
Taking a pause to lick his now dry lips, and look the Chief in the eye to ascertain he still had the buffalo's attention Will pressed on.
"Now I've told you all this, in the strictest of confidences, so you will understand the requests of you I am going to make, and hopefully you will acquiesce. I don't doubt that eventually the ZIA will figure out I'm still kicking, and I will need a friend like you in my corner should that come to pass. With skills like mine I could blow all the city's SWAT out of the water, but I don't want anything to do with them unless they need backup. I'm trying to move beyond my bloody past, and still do good with my life; it's why strange as it seems I happily want to become nothing more than a beat cop. My third and final request is simple, I have a rather deep seated loathing of mammal traffickers, so if you catch wind of any please keep me in the loop. So boss here's the part where I ask the questions I have, and then I'll be done talkin' your ear off I promise. I'm sure there's paperwork involved registering, and clearing my personal vehicle as a pursuit/interceptor, and my personal firearms for duty use so I'd like to take care of that today if I can; and finally I'd really like to visit the quartermaster to get outfitted so I can show up tomorrow ready to rock & roll." having spoken his peace Will simply sat back, and waited while the Chief parsed all he'd heard.
Eventually everything seemed to click in the buffalo's head as he realized the long winded wolf in front of him had finally stopped talking, and after processing the requests Will had made the Chief seemed to find his voice.
"Well Officer Grimm, as I am going to address you from here on out, I don't see anything wrong with acquiescing to your wishes especially after what you've just told me though I will not hesitate to question you regarding what's in this file once I've had a chance to look it over. Will you answer honestly any and all questions I have?" Bogo asked.
"Of course sir, though there are some things in there in regards to which my only response will be that I am unaware of any such activity, or operation, and am not at liberty to discuss any such activity, or operation if it did in fact exist, sir." Will responded
"Fine, Officer Grimm, I understand. Now I'll page the quatermaster that you're on your way, and yes there's a good bit of paperwork you'll need to fill out so I'll go ahead and have Clawhauser gather that up, and have it ready for you. You'll find the quartermaster back down on the first floor, all the way in the back next to the armory" the Chief said "Now, Dismissed!"
With that Will stood saluted the Chief then exited his office, and made his way to the quartermaster. Once back down on the ground floor, and far enough down one of the hallways leading back into the station he followed the signs on the walls to his destination. Along the way he happened to overhear two of his fellow officers talking to his right a female Jaguar, and a male wolf.
"...the guy Wolford said was flirting with Ben, he's pretty handsome. If he's only into guys that just fucking sucks..." the Jaguar was saying to the Wolf
"That soldier? Wait a minute, I know that patch on his shoulder. I served in Special Forces, those CLAWS guys are a myth, and you do not want that kind of myth trying to push your tail" the Wolf replied.
At that Will couldn't help himself from walking over, and adding his two cents.
"Oh, I'd flirt with you plenty pretty kitty. I have more fun with cat girls than I do any others even my fellow canids" He spoke to the jaguaress who he noticed had heterochromia, her left eye being a rather piercing ice blue. Then he turned and spoke to the wolf his voice heavy with seriousness.
"The CLAWS unit is dead, and has been for a year. I take it then that you've heard the rumors about the Beast in the CLAWS unit?" Will asked the wolf, and when he nodded Will just stuck out his right paw for a shake. When the Wolf reluctantly grasped it Will pulled him in close and said "Well I'm the one they called 'Beast' nice to meet you, and just be glad I'm on your side 'cause most of those rumors are true. So with that in mind please keep my former affiliation to yourself My Brother."
When Will released him from his grip the wolf quickly nodded saying "I will" before walking away at a near run his tail tucked as far between his legs as it would go.
The jaguaress on the other hand as her face showed was quite curious, and couldn't contain herself as she spoke "That wolf is one of the better SWAT guys we have, and I'd swear you just put the fear of god into him. I'm Jade by the way, Jade Caldera. So what brings you to the ZPD Mr. Beast, and why exactly do they call you that?"
"Well Jade, if you'll allow me to call you that Officer Caldera? You really do have quite the beautiful name for such a lovely jaguaress. I'm here at the ZPD because starting tomorrow I'm the new guy, transferring in from the Ulfhaven Sheriff's Dept. My name is Will by the way, William Grimm, and they call me Beast for two reasons. One of which you'd really rather not know trust me, but the other reason well I'd be more than happy to show you if you wouldn't mind me buying you dinner tonight. It's already noon, and I'm probably going to be here the rest of the day; I have a good bit of paperwork to pick up from Ben, and am currently on a mission to rendezvous with the local quartermaster"
"Hmm I do believe Will that your mission is already a success as I happen to be the mammal you seek" Jade said with an easy smile "and I'd be happy to let you treat me to dinner, with this job a girl just doesn't get much opportunity to get out, ya know?" she finished as she began walking down towards the gear room.
"Sweetness, and sweetness." Will responded happily while following her "I'll let you pick where we go to dine, since I've barely been in this city a week, and all I really know is one good sushi place in Tundra Town, and a really good place for some Thai curry here in Savannah Central"
As they were reaching their destination she said "If it's this little hole in the wall place, called Thai Country then that matter is settled easy, and we're here."
Following into the space after her Will chuckled saying "Settled most easily. That is too funny we both know the same awesome restaurant."
"It's a small world so they say, so what sizes do you need?" Jade asked him.
"Hmm. For pants, thanks to my height, large should do just fine, and shirt wise double XL should do it, but I may need three X. I like going a size larger so I can maintain freedom of movement."
"Let's try the shirts first, shall we?" Jade said grabbing the requisite garment from a rack, and tossing it to Will.
When he had fully unbuttoned his field jacket revealing the black metal band t-shirt he had on under it Jade couldn't help but comment on it. "I know Gojira, they're pretty cool."
"I listen to just about anything, and everything, but I'm a metal head through and through" Will replied
"Then I have a very important question for you, make it two: What do you think of Pantera, and you said you have more fun with girls like me than even other wolves; I want to know what you meant?" Jade asked.
"What do I think of Pantera?" Will repeated as if this weren't even a question that needed to be asked "I even like they're early stuff from the eighties. And to answer your other question" he said as he took off his shirt "you have bigger fangs, and better claws as my back will attest" and as the words left his mouth he turned around showing her what he meant before finishing his thought with "Slap, and Tickle is too tame for this wolf"
Seeing his bare back before her Jade couldn't help her slack jawed expression. Despite his jovial tone she could clearly see how he wasn't joking. Even with his thick fur the myriad claw marks, and scars across his back were a little shocking. That his fur was so starkly white seemed to make them stand out more. With her curiosity taking a morbid turn she couldn't help but be drawn towards him reaching out a paw to run her pads along them, and she noted both that some of the larger ones seemed fresh, and that overall his scars were from different sized claws, in different places. She even noted several sets that looked as if they could've been made by her own claws, and as she touched these in particular she couldn't help an involuntary shudder of arousal. It was then she noticed how he reacted to her touching him leaning into her paw, and quivering slightly.
It was at this point however in their seemingly innocent intimate moment that they were interrupted by fellow Officer Wolford.
"Hey Caldera you in here? Benji bent over too far, and ripped the seat of his pants so I offered to fetch him a new pair." John said announcing his presence before he had even reached the doorway, and when he reached the threshold, and noticed it's occupant his muzzle scrunched quizzically "You're the new guy Grimm wasn't it? Where's Caldera?"
At this Jade stepped out from behind Will, but left her right paw on him. "I'm right here John. I was helping Will here get outfitted, and he couldn't help but show off his battle scars. I know Benji's size I'll grab him a pair, and tell him to bring in the torn one's maybe I can fix 'em with kevlar so it won't happen again" she said jokingly before lightly running the claws of her right paw across Will's lower back as she turned around to retrieve the required article of clothing. When she turned back around with the fresh pants in paw she couldn't help but tilt her head to the side quizzically at the shifted scene before her. Will was on his hands and knees panting, and the shocked expression on John's face was only broken by his now hyperactive nose.
As John had seen it Caldera had barely grazed Grimm with her paw, and the wolf had dropped almost as if he'd been tazed, and while he found this certainly shocking, what fueled his sense of bewilderment was the information his olfactory sense flooded into his brain. The jaguaress in front of him obviously smelled aroused, and whatever she had done to the wolf had caused his own scent to shift similarly into one of arousal. As his mind processed this information his confusion grew. The wolf that had been verbally flirting with Ben a cheetah, had also been assuredly flirting with this jaguaress. Did Grimm have a thing for cats, regardless of gender? As that train of thought started John shook himself out of it, and entering the room past Grimm took the offered pants from Caldera, and quickly made himself scarce. John hadn't made it halfway down the hall when he distinctly heard a voice speaking in a growl say "That seriously turned me on. I hadn't wanted you to see me like this till after dinner." As he made his way back to Benji his thoughts roiled. He couldn't talk to Ben about what he'd just witnessed; Ben would overreact, and probably be seriously bummed, but he couldn't just keep this to himself it was just too confusing... who could he talk to? a fellow canid? but who in the precinct would tangle with this sort of subject? Then it dawned on him, the fox, Nick!
No sooner had Wolford left then Will seemed to recover slightly. Still on all fours he shifted his hind legs back up onto his hindpaws, and turned towards Jade taking a couple steps forward before telling her "That seriously turned me on. I hadn't wanted you to see me like this till after dinner" his voice came out a growl both predatory, and lustful. At this he stood, and took the last steps towards Jade, and now close enough to easily wrap her in his arms he continued speaking to her shifting his voice into more pleasant though nonetheless seductive tones as he recovered himself from the effects of her touch.
"I have only two weaknesses in this world. One is water especially hot water for bathing, and the second is women; and you have discovered one of the ways a woman may exploit said weakness. I ask that you please keep this information to yourself, and for your safety please be careful how you decide to use it. Me in an aroused state is nothing like any other turned on male you're likely to have come across, or likely to come across either for that matter." In seeing how his words only fanned her apparent scent of arousal, and stoked her seemingly vibrant curiosity he added in afterthought "Despite my nature I pride myself on being something of a gentlemammal, please allow me to sate this curiosity in you later tonight" as he finished speaking he leaned in and kissed her knowing full well what he was doing as he shunted some of his chi into her through their oral connection.
From how close he was to her, and how he was saying what he was, she had expected him to kiss her, or something of the sort. Still that had not prepared her for the sensations she felt when his lips touched hers. It was as if a spark traveled from him into, and through her straight to her smoldering sex where it did not ignite a torrent of flame. It smothered the embers inside her like a fire to quench fire by consuming what fuel was to be burned. When he broke their connection she felt her desire fade, and her normal faculties return, but before they did she couldn't resist her urge to reach as far up his back as she could, and rake her claws along where she could reach.
Seeing her senses restoring back to normal, through the expression on her face, and the change in her scent, he was satisfied his seemingly counter intuitive actions to deescalate the situation were successful, and then she raked her claws across his back adding a fresh set of jaguar sized scratches. It took full use of his willpower and self control to bite down on the stimulating effects of her action, and maintain his composure. Taking a deep breath to calm, and center himself he took care to speak normally.
"Can we please return to the task at hand, professionally lovely cat?" Will asked Jade
"We had better, in case someone else walks in sexy beastie" she replied, picking up the uniform shirt from the floor, and handing it to him.
After he had put it on, fully buttoned it, and confirmed he could move his arms as needed he took it off, and returned it to her where she placed it into a duffle bag she had grabbed for him while he was occupied. Next she grabbed the required size of uniform trousers and handed them to him to try on. Tossing them over his shoulder he promptly undid his belt then dropped his field trousers shimmying his feet out of them as they pooled around his ankles. As he then put first one leg, and then the other through the uniform trousers he looked up at the jaguaress staring at him with a look of dumbfoundedness.
"What?" He asked.
"Have you no shame? I don't know many mammals who couldn't give two shits if someone saw them changing clothes." she replied
"I laugh at the concept of shame. Besides I'm covered in fur, and it's not like i'm not wearing boxers; and I'm comfortable in my own fur, I'd have no problem streaking through the halls of this fine establishment, just to witness the shocked expressions on the muzzles of more prudent, and backwards mammals" he said smiling proudly, hands on his hips as if he were some sort of super hero.
Seeing his posture she couldn't help but comment with a snort "Yeah you're some sort of super beast"
"Hey, that's a cool song!" he retorted
At that they both had a laugh while he removed the uniform trousers, and changed back into the black fatigues he had been wearing, leaving the jacket unbuttoned to expose his Gojira t-shirt. While he was busy getting redressed she gathered a couple more uniforms in the requisite sizes, and folding them put them in the duffle bag which she then handed to him, and he slung it over his shoulder.
"Well Officer Grimm now you'll be looking the part. All that's left for me to do for you here is assign you a locker" Jade said looking through a binder "And just your luck I have one free. How does locker number 69 grab you?"
"You're kidding right? That's gotta be something other than coincidence, but I will gladly take it. And fight to keep it to, that's my favorite number for obvious reasons" Will replied at first incredulous, then determined.
"Okay I change my mind. You're not a super beast. You're a super perv." Jade responded sticking out her tongue at him
"Gods that was kawaii" Will said almost breathlessly "and I'm proud of my perviness, it means I'm a healthy mammal. Then I guess I'll see you when you clock out, when is that by the way?"
"Around six o'clock, we'll rendezvous at the front desk sound good?" Jade replied with a half smile.
"Alright, I will see you there" Will said smiling back, his tail wagging slightly in excitement.
After he had left Jade went to her desk, and sat drumming her fingers on the surface. Checking the clock on the wall she noted it was 13:30, she still had four and a half hours left in her shift. With nothing better to do at the moment her thoughts wandered to the handsome wolf she'd agreed to go out with tonight. Ignoring how physically attracted to him she felt, she turned her thoughts to what else about him seemed to be like a magnet pulling her in. Was it his expressiveness? From working around plenty of wolves she knew how they didn't just use facial expressions to subtly communicate, they used their entire bodies more so than most mammals, and Will seemed to be even more expressive in this regard than most. No, that wasn't it; was it his voice? Was it the sound of it, or how he used it, or what he chose to say? Derailing this train of thought came the realization that it was a little bit of everything, and how open, and inviting he seemed with his demeanor though she got the sense that he kept much of himself close to the vest. It was then when her musings had killed fifteen minutes that Officer Delgato came by.
"Good afternoon Officer Caldera. I was hoping you could help me. My daughter really tackled me good last night, now my shirt has quite a rip in it. I didn't want to bother my wife with it. You know how little Rosa can be such a pawful; can you fix it?" Delgato asked.
"Sure thing Anthony. Maybe I can fix it with kevlar, and it'll be more resistant to future abuse" Caldera joked, reaching out a paw for the garment. After he handed it over she walked to a shirt rack to fetch him a replacement.
"You wouldn't know what happened to Brushfire, would you? He said he needed to see you about something, and when he came back I thought his tail was gone it was so far between his legs. I've never seen a wolf so frightened." Delgato asked with slight nervousness.
"It wasn't me, I assure you; but I do know what happened hehehe" Caldera said reassuringly with a laugh "It was the new wolf transferring in, Will, he just shook Brushfire's paw, and said hello" she continued with a shrug before handing him the fresh shirt.
"Thank you. On a first name basis with the new guy already? No wonder it smells like a horny mammal in here despite the furbreeze you sprayed." Delgado shifted the subject teasingly with a sniff to the telltale air.
"Nothing happened!" Caldera defended herself "although he did ask me out for dinner, and I got a good eyeful of what he looks like without a shirt. He has so many scars they overlap, and he is proud of them like some sort of masochist." as she finished, reliving his reaction to her, her paw shot to her mouth completing her look of surprise revelation.
As Delgato just shook his head, and departed Jade still slightly stunned sat back in her chair getting to work on repairing Delgato's torn shirt. Thinking about how her night with Will should prove interesting, she could not help her feeling of anticipation.
Will finally made it back to the precinct foyer, and locking his eyes on the portly cheetah walked towards him with seemingly calm purpose. When he got within speaking distance to Clawhauser his facial expression, and body language shifted into tired looking slackness.
"Benji I could really use a hug from a friend" Will said grabbing the cheetah's attention causing him to turn around to see the wolf now standing barely six feet from him.
"Uh... sure, what's up?" Clawhauser said before the wolf closed the distance between them, and embraced him.
"Thanks, I needed that" Will replied letting go "I just really owe that wolf a drink, I think Caldera called him John, he really saved me back there. Now change of focus, you have a small hill of paperwork for me? I imagine it's not gonna be as little as was needed back home."
"Yeah I set it all right for you over there" Ben said pointing to a stack off to his left "You mean Officer Wolford? I was wondering why he left here with such a strange look on his face, he was muttering something about the fox. So what did he save you from? Or should I ask who?"
"If you don't mind a Beast sitting next to you with the purpose of destroying workday monotony, I'll tell you no problem mi hermano" Will joked before pulling up a chair lifted from an empty desk to sit before his healthy stack of forms. As he set to work, he continued. "So the rest of his name is Wolford, good to know. He saved me from my self, and the effect women can have on me" Will paused seeing Ben's expression shift before adding "Or any cat for that matter. That wolf I scared the tail into wasn't completely wrong about what he said." Will finished his voice tinged with self loathing.
"Wait, you're the reason Brushfire was acting like that, too? I'm almost afraid to ask why." Ben said with trepidation
"He recognized the patch on my shoulder, brought up my former unit to Officer Caldera. I encouraged him to keep it all to himself, reinforcing some of the more unsavory rumors we seemed to generate. Let's just say some people will tell you we'd give the boogey-mammal nightmares." Will responded evenly
"I see... wait... roll back the tape; what is this effect any cat can have on you?" Ben asked.
"Why don't you give your claws a good run through the fur on my neck, and see for yourself" Will replied leaning towards Ben before encouraging "Don't be afraid Benji, just go for it."
When the cheetah had done what he was told he recoiled in surprise at the wolf's reaction.
"Aah..." Will vocalized with a shiver before saying "Okay Benji" Will's voice dripping with seduction "Please give me a minute to regather myself before I start scent rolling into you. That felt really good."
"Whoa... okay..." Ben managed to get out, still at a loss.
After taking a few deep breaths to regain his composure Will went on talking to Ben his voice returned back to normal.
"Benji I need to clear some air I think. Because I don't want you getting the wrong idea about me, and I have the feeling you and I are going to be good friends. For some mammals it's 'Slap, and Tickle' for others it's 'Pinch, and Squeal', but for me it's 'Fang, and Claw', and now you know the effect a good set of claws can have on me even when only used minimally. I hope you'll keep this knowledge mostly to yourself, and exercise caution should you choose to use it to tease me; I'm closer to my more primal instincts than most mammals, and my turn ons are also triggers for me to enter a primal state; the last thing you want to see is me out of control, and it's the last thing I want to be unless the situation calls for it. That said I want you to know that I started flirting with you this morning because I didn't want you to look at me with fear in your eyes. I was doing my best to be open, and friendly. I don't want you to think I'm leading you on, or anything, that's not really my way. Though I would totally be down to get some drinks with you sometime as friends; I bet you know some pretty cool places to cut loose."
"So you're not? . . ." Ben trailed off.
"I didn't say that. You know I wasn't lying when I called you handsome. Let me put it to you this way, even though I go after girls more, any way the wind blows doesn't really matter to me." Will said with a smile.
"Okay, I get it. Wow you're already halfway done with that paperwork? The Chief had said you needed the forms for clearing a personal vehicle, and personal firearms for duty use; what exactly are you wanting permission to use at work?" Ben asked, his usual upbeat attitude in force.
"Well I just finished with what I needed to do for my car. She's the sixty nine Shelby GT500 out front, but she's not just any muscle car. I've had her armored as heavily as could be done while retaining her top speed of two hundred miles per hour. She's my pride and joy. I could unload my M1911, or my B.A.R. at her, and she wouldn't have a scratch. Yep now all I've got to do is finish up these clearance forms for my personal armaments. I've got a brace of M1911's, a Desert Eagle for when a .45 caliber won't do it, my B.A.R. I modified to only be semi-auto plus mountings for a nice scope, and M203 underbarrel grenade launcher, and then there's my Barrett .50 anti-materiel rifle. It's a little irritating I have to get the Officer in charge of the motor pool, and Officer in charge of the armory to sign off on these before they go to the Chief though." Will said with a slight grin.
"You special forces guys really don't joke around. Just what are you prepared for? A small war? It makes sense you'd need clearance from the officers in charge of the motor pool, and armory though; what if you needed new tires after a chase, or more ammo?" Ben replied.
"Yeah you're right buddy . . ." Will began before being cut off by a voice behind them.
"It's almost six, and you're still filling out paperwork? Benji quit talking his ear off." Officer Caldera interjected with a laugh.
"I'll have you know Jade that I'm almost done, in fact I'm on my last form. By the way, quartermaster, you wouldn't happen to also be the precinct officer in charge of the armory would you?" Will asked before adding "also if anything I was the one talking his ear off, so don't give him too hard a time."
"A likely story, heh. As it just so happens I am. What do you need?" Jade asked.
"Just for you to sign off on these clearance forms for my use of personal firearms that I am now officially finished with" Will said sliding the stack towards her along with the pen he'd been using. Folding the forms he'd filled out for his car he slipped them into the right side pocket of his pants.
"Sure thing wolfie, let's just give these a once over" Jade said bending to look over the forms, and sign them where indicated to. Only after she had signed them did she actually look to see what firearms he wanted clearance for. "Holy shit, what're you planning to take on beastie? a small army?" she asked incredulously.
"No, just ZIA shit stains who don't know their head from their tail. Though hopefully it won't come to that." Will replied.
"Well" Jade said handing the signed papers to Ben "Benji if you could, send these up to the Chief our great buffalo on high. I am clocked out, and ready for my date tonight"
"Sure thing Jade" Ben replied before asking "So who's this date of yours? Must be one lucky cat."
"More like just one fortunate beast, Benji-boy" Will said with a laugh.
"Then don't let me keep you guys, go have fun." Ben responded, shooing them away with his paws. After he watched them walk through the doors he stood up and walked towards the Chief's office to hand him the papers in his paws.
As they passed through the precinct entrance Will pulled out his keys, and unlocking the passenger door opened it for Jade gesturing for her to get in. After she had, and he had shut the door for her he rounded the car and unlocking the driver side door got in himself. While he busied himself putting the forms in his side pocket into the glovebox, plugging his phone into the aux cord dangling from the stereo, and starting the engine which roared to life deep throatedly.
"So this is your ride? Nice, she must be worth a couple hundred grand." Jade said.
"Yeah, after putting in a more modern engine, and getting her armored I could sell her for a cool million just to recoup what I've put into her plus her value. Not that'd I'd ever do that as long as I live, this dream machine is not for sale." Will said turning on the radio, and scrolling through the music on his phone. After he had selected a track he checked his mirrors, signaled, and when the road was clear merged onto it knowing the right way to get to the restaurant from the precinct. Enjoying the instrumental intro to the song he chose, he rolled down his window, and pulled out a cigarette lighting it with a black zippo pulled from another pocket.
"I'm not sure I've heard anything like this. Your shirt should've been a dead giveaway you're into foreign metal; so who're these guys?" Jade asked before rolling her window down, and bumming a cigarette from him.
"This is Aliaj playing their song Wings, they're from out in the middle east. I just love the way their singer sounds, there's just something about his accent" Will replied holding out his arm, and lighting his zippo for Jade to light her cigarette. As they continued driving towards their destination, and the song shifted Jade this time simply picked up Will's phone to see for herself the song artist, and title.
"End of Green, Seasons of Black..." she read "Okay you're gonna definitely be sharing some music with me amigo, comprende?"
"Not a problem, but I'm sure you listen to some awesome stuff I'll want to likewise get my paws on" Will responded jovially as they neared their destination, and the next track began to play.
"Now this one I know. Like anyone wouldn't recognize Dio when they hear it, and Last in Line at that; classic." Jade said confidently before adding "Angels above if you're trying to get into my pants you're definitely going the right way about it, hahaha."
"Heh, I'm not even trying yet, and for your information this angel is from below" Will joked as he pulled into the parking lot where the restaurant was located, and pulled into an open space in front of the buildings facade. After enjoying the last of the song he grabbed his phone pausing the music player before unplugging it, and turning off the car he swiftly got out to walk around and open the door for Jade offering his paw in assistance.
"You really do put a lot of effort into being a gentlemammal don't you?" Jade said when he'd opened the door for her "too bad for you most girls who say they want a guy like you really don't know what to do when one is actually in front of them. Though even offering your paw when I can get out just fine unassisted, aren't you hamming it up?" she finished as she took his paw all the same as she got out.
"I'm just a wretched beast trying to be better than his inner monster, so yes I do put in all the effort I can. And I just wanted to feel your paw in mine, sexy kitten." Will answered before letting her paw go so he could take off his jacket and toss it in the back of his car before he shut the door, and pressed the button on the key fob to lock it. In the time it took him to do this Jade had beaten him to the door, and stood holding it open a smug grin on her face to which he responded with a frown before approaching her.
"Yep, role reversal. These are modern times after all, so get in beastie" Jade said gesturing with her paw for him to enter which he did, his frown turning into a smirk as he passed her into the half full restaurant, and she gave his ass a quick squeeze. After a waitress led them to a free table for two, and took their drink orders both requesting the imported choice of beer they sat and continued conversing, neither needing to look at the menu to decide what to order.
"From where I sit it appears the better angels of your nature are winning wolfie" Jade said with a light smile.
"More like the lesser angels of my nature have just been really good at emulating those better angels out of missing them since they left me. Though maybe you're right, and I'm just biased against my self" Will replied, turning his attention to their waitress, a cute leopard, as she set their beers in front of them then pulled out her notepad to take their order. After Will ordered the panang with chicken dinner with a side of steamed rice Jade told the waitress she'd be having the same, and Will told her to just make it a triple order of rice their waitress left towards the kitchen placing their order.
"Enough about me, I want to know more about you, and how you like your job here at precinct one" Will said continuing their conversation as he sipped his beer straight from the bottle.
"Well after ranking top of my academy class in weapons handling, and proving something of the precinct seamstress it didn't take much for the Chief to see the value of shuffling me off into my current position. Though since then he, and I have clashed a bit since I've sort of made it my mission to replace our standard uniforms with custom ones made of kevlar, and an overhaul like that just never seems to be in the budget. I've had to make do with repairing what I can with kevlar patches, and thread which still isn't cheap not to mention the industrial needle set up required to do the job" Jade told him likewise sipping from her beer.
Their conversation continued back and forth until their food arrived, and both shared a laugh as they waited for their respective curries to cool enough not to scorch their tongues. After it had cooled enough that they could each savor the liquid gold before them, tempered by the bitterness of their respective beers, their conversation resumed with Jade noting how open, and friendly Will was though he seemed to keep most of himself close to the vest. As he never failed to make a pervy innuendo, or dirty joke whenever their conversation opened the door for one no matter how cheesy, or stupid. Jade found herself thinking 'He really is a super perv, and he wears it so openly he kinda reminds me of Nick only i don't think Nick would be so bold even with his bunny' with a chuckle.
Meanwhile outside the bar next door John met up with Nick, and as they both walked towards the entrance both mammals took note of the black classic muscle car parked in front.
"Whew, now that is a beaut' of a car right there. I would love to know how she drives" Nick said, taking out his phone to take a pic of said vehicle
"This same car was parked outside the precinct when I came in today, and was still there when I left and called you. I recognize the vanity plate 'FNG-DVL'." John replied.
"Speaking of. When you called me you said you needed my input on something you saw at the precinct, and you sounded like you caught the Chief, and Benji making out, so what's up?" Nick asked.
"Drink first" John replied as they entered the bar "and I wish it was the Chief who has a girlfriend, and Ben I'd walked in on; that i could at least wrap my head around"
After they sat at the bar, and John started off by ordering them both a double of bourbon from the bar keep he confirmed for Nick that he'd be buying for the evening, and would drive the fox home. When the bartender had set the glasses in front of the pair John swiftly downed his shot before starting to get what was on his chest off of it.
"I just want to start with asking you, how unusual is it on the street to see a wolf show interest in a cat of any specie seemingly without regard to gender?" John asked seriously.
"Uh, I've heard of some wolves, and other canids having a feline fetish despite all those stereotypes that canid, and felid shall forever have animosity between them, but it's the kind of thing you'll only find common on the internet, ya know rule 34, and all." Nick replied with a laugh before asking "So what specifically is this about"
"Okay I'll tell you" John said before downing another shot after the bartender refilled his glass "It started this morning when I walked into the precinct, and saw Benji flirting with this arctic wolf taller than any wolf we have on the force, but when I go up to Ben to say good morning, and give him a little shit for it he tells me I have it backwards, and the wolf was flirting with him; says the guy's name is Will. Well I think nothing of it, and get to work catching up on some paperwork, and when lunch rolls around I go back to Ben for a donut and as we're talking he drops a pen, and when he bends over to pick it up he rips the seat of his pants so I offer to go fetch him a fresh pair from Caldera" John pauses to whet his whistle with another shot.
"Okay I have a feeling you're getting to the good part" Nick says finally downing his first shot in one go.
"Yeah, so I walk into the gear room assuming I'm calling out to Caldera about Ben's accident when as I get to the open doorway all I see is that wolf from earlier without his shirt on. When I ask where Caldera's at she just steps out from behind him, and says she'll grab Benji a new pair of pants no problem. When she turns around to go get 'em I see her paw just graze Will's back, and I swear he drops to his forepaws and knees and starts panting like he just got tazed. Now when she moved I could smell Caldera's arousal, and after he dropped Will smelled turned on as hell. At that point I'm stuck on stupid, my nose going hyperactive like your partner, and Caldera turns around pants for Ben in paw which I quickly step in, and grab from her before getting out of there quick. I'm not even halfway back down the hall, and I hear what I assume was that wolf Will speaking in a growl to Caldera that whatever she did really fucking turned him on, but that he didn't want her to see him like that until after he'd bought her dinner. Needless to say I was at a loss to what i'd just seen, and needed to talk with someone about it, but the only mammal I could think of who might lend some clarity was you" John finished, along with his fourth double shot.
"Well sounds like the new guy definitely is into cats, and probably is a strong advocate of interspecies mingling" Nick said with a laugh before downing his second double shot, and wheezing at the burn in his throat before continuing "Yeah, sounds like the new guy is a real super freak. This should make things at the precinct more interesting." He finished with a laugh.
"So do you feel better now that you've got that dose of strange off your chest?" Nick asked.
"Yeah, I guess so. Thanks for listening buddy. You ready to head out?" John said before getting the bartender's attention so he could pay their tab.
"Sure. I can't wait to see the blush on Carrot's muzzle when I tell her about this." Nick said as their tab was paid, and they both walked out into the cool fall night. While they regained their bearings both mammal's attention was grabbed by the mass of fur off to their left they eventually saw was Officer Caldera with one paw on the back of the neck of a rather tall wolf, pulling said wolf into a heated tongue wrestling match while her other paw rather obviously was wrapped around his crotch. After they parted the wolf looked up, and noticed the pair staring at them dumbstruck with mouths agape.
"Well if it isn't the brother I owe a drink, and the handsome fox. Fancy coming across you two on this fine fall nacht, how's it going my fellow colleagues?" Will asked, a stupid grin plastered on his face.
"Well hey, John, and hey there Nicky" Jade said likewise smiling broadly "What a coincidence running into you guys" upon seeing the wolf, and fox seem to be firmly stuck as they were she added "Hey beastie, why don't we get headed to my place so we can pick up where we left off?"
"Sure thing, kitten" Will replied before they got into his car, and after he started it he rolled down his window to say to the still rooted to the spot canids "See you guys at work tomorrow, make it home safe alright." before he backed out of the stall, and followed Jade's directions to her apartment while she operated his phone to get the music going again. After they were out on the street, rock and roll blaring through the open windows of the car as the mammals inside lit cigarettes for themselves the stupefied wolf, and fox seemed to snap out of it before making it to the wolf's car.
As the intro to Veteran of the Psychic Wars by Blue Oyster Cult began to play Jade took a drag from the cigarette Will had given her, and began scrolling through the music on his phone while letting the shuffle setting pick up where it left off.
"You weren't kidding when you said you listened to just about everything. I only recognize like half these artists, and I'm surprised I see Gazelle, and Lady Gaga in here." Jade said.
"Try Everything is infectious, I listen to it at least once a day. And where to begin with Lady Gaga? She's smart, pretty, has a beautiful voice i'd love to hear lend vocals to a metal track, and she's a queen fan if her stage name is any indication" Will responded as Disturbed's cover of The Sound of Silence began, and he started to sing along.
Jade started to respond, then stopped entranced by the timbre of Will's voice as he matched the lead singer's cadence with the lyrics while at a deeper pitch. She simply sat back and enjoyed hearing him sing, only bothering to point in the given direction he needed to turn to get them to her place.
"That's one of the few songs I can sing well with the voice I have, I'm sorry I couldn't help but do that" Will said after the lyrics ended.
"Oh, I didn't mind. After hearing you do that, you are so getting these panties off of me when we get in my place" Jade replied warmly as Animal I Have Become began she added "this has totally got to be your song, beastie"
"It is though not as much as Veteran of the Psychic Wars" Will responded as she indicated her building, and where he could park out front. After he'd parked, and they'd gotten out of his car she led him by the paw through the doors barely giving him time to lock his Shelby. With a purpose she crossed the lobby towards the elevators with Will in tow not even noticing the receptionist's shocked expression. When they'd made it inside a free lift, and she'd pressed the buttons for her floor, and to close the doors she leapt onto him wrapping her legs around his waist, and her arms around his neck while she pressed her lips against his fiercely forcing her tongue into his mouth, and against his. Will responded in kind pushing her back against the wall of the lift, and pressing himself closer to her while his growing member strained against his pants.
Both mammals breathing through their noses had no need to break their connection until with a ding the lift's doors opened on her floor, and after sliding down his front noticing his arousal she led him by it to her apartment door where she swiftly unlocked it, and pulled him inside before slamming it shut. Breaking away from him to take off her shirt he did the same before stepping back into her kissing her passionately while reaching with his paws to undo her bra, and she busied her paws undoing his belt, and pants. After they fell he pulled his muzzle away from hers to step out of his pants, and pick her up over his shoulder to carry her to her bed. When he reached it he laid her on it, and wasted no time unbuttoning her pants, and sliding both them and her panties off in one fluid motion. Staring down at the jaguaress exposed before him, his fully erect member throbbed in his boxers as he appreciated her sensuous form.
Coming down over her, he kissed her again his tongue entering her mouth with gentle force while his still enclothed erection pressed against her sex. When she bucked her hips against him, and pawed at the offending garment he broke their contact shaking his head. He retreated his body, and lowered his muzzle to her warm, and wanting sex where he first ran his tongue along her inner thighs eliciting gasps of excitement before licking across her wet folds savoring the familiar tang of her juices. When he plunged his tongue within her, as deep as he could reach, his upper fangs grazing along her taut abdomen she couldn't hold back her cry in pleasure, or stop her legs instinctively wrapping around his head. Feeling the pressure of her thighs against him, he growled deeply into her sex, her reaction spurring him on to continue his ministrations with fervor.
As he continued thrusting, and undulating his tongue he felt the energy of her root chakra, and his nature took over pulling chi from it only to cycle it through his system, and back into hers. Lost as he was in what he was doing only her cries of pleasure reaching his ears, and the pressure of her thighs against his skull registered in his lust controlled mind. Even after she came, her body shuddering around him, he continued licking along, and into her sex lapping at her juices as she rode her orgasm down. When panting she loosened the grip of her legs around him, and pushed his head away he growled ferally before getting off the bed to slip off his boxers, and return to her his erect pole like iron.
When he was over her again, his paws above her shoulders supporting his weight he bent his muzzle to hers his tongue filling her mouth roughly as he lowered his hips forward the tip of his member just barely touching her entrance. At this her legs wrapped around him pulling his length into her. The sensation of his comparatively large cock filling her causing her to wildly sink her fangs into his shoulder, and her claws firmly into the meat of his shoulder blades. When he began to draw himself out, and thrust back in her fangs sank deeper into him drawing blood, and with every thrust the claws stuck in him were dragged down his back with the motion of her body against him. When he felt her fangs sink into him, his still instinct controlled mind caused him to bite into her neck enough to grip her fur covered flesh, but not enough to bruise, or draw blood. As his thrusting caused her claws to rip down his back his nature took over again, drawing chi from her through the contact of his mouth against her throat, while the rest of him was lost in pumping into her. After she came again, releasing her bite from his now freely bleeding shoulder to roar primally in her pleasure, he released his fangs from her neck and continued thrusting until he came. When he had pulled out his now deflating member, her arms fell from him exhaustedly as she nestled back into her bed drifting towards sleep. Still wide awake, and lost in his feral haze Will panted over her for a few minutes before his senses returning he curled himself on his stomach against her, resting his head across her stomach, his muzzle breathing in the scent of her sex as sleep then embraced him.
