Hey everyone, sorry for such the wait for the next chapter. I had a big family issue just this past month that took me and my family by surprise. My motivation to write had dissappeared for a little bit, but it came back thankfully. So here is the next chapter. Enjoy.
The Flame Of Youth
I walked into the kitchen to find Rena standing at the far counter with her back to me. Her tail still swaying with a sensual rhythm as her paws were in front of her, preparing something. My footsteps were silent as I slowly crept behind her, my eyes watching her tail like a cat would watch a mouse. I gently wrapped my arms around her and placed my hands on her lower abdomen. A soft yipe escaped her muzzle before she realized who grabbed her. She smiled passionately and nuzzled me gently. Her white paws ceasing what they where doing and just sat on the counter top.
"What took you so long love?" Her voice so sweet to my ears. I smiled and nuzzled her back.
"Remember, we have a daughter that has both of our curiosity gene." A soft giggle escaped her muzzle as she heard me talk about Vixi. Her motherly grin reappeared on her muzzle.
"Yes, I know Adam. I know it very well." I gently kissed the side of her muzzle, my attention drawn to her rather than what her paws were doing. "So did you get the supplies and gifts for tomorrow love?" My left eyebrow raises slightly, showing that I was confused.
"Supplies and gifts?" A soft whimper escaped her muzzle as she turned her head to look into my eyes directly.
"Adam, please don't tell me that you forgot to get the supplies and gifts for Vixi's birthday tomorrow." When I didn't reply, she whimpered again. I hated when she whimpered, such a beautiful vixen shouldn't be saddened by anything. My eyes close and I softly bit my lower lip.
"I had a reminder on my phone to go off just before I got out of work. But since I got out early, it didn't go off....." My voice soft and slightly angered. I couldn't believe I forgot Vixi's birthday supplies.
"Love...I wouldn't be so worried about this birthday if it wasn't her birthday when she digivolves..." Rena's tone was hurt and worried, such a tone almost brought me to tears.
"Hun, you and Vixi cook lunch and eat without me. I'll go get the supplies and gifts." I nuzzled her in a reassuring way, trying to comfort her. Rena leaned into the nuzzling.
"Remember the pink gauntlets and the pink bow for her gifts, along with the cake." Her voice slowly regaining that sweet tone. I smiled as I continued to nuzzle her. My hands not moving from her lower abdomen.
"Marble with white and pink frosting with yellow foxes running across the top, right?" A soft murr escaped her maw, telling me that I was correct. I reluctantly removed my hands from my mate.
"Don't take to long love, alright?" She looked back at me as I took a step back, heading to leave.
"I won't Rena...promise." I passionately kissed her soft lips. She slowly opens her mouth and slips her tongue through her canines. Her tongue is met with mine as our tongues passionately rub against each other. I pull back slowly, sucking on her lower lip for one last second before releasing. "I'll be back soon hun." Rena smiled weakly as she whimpered to me, not wanting me to leave.
"You better....I want to snuggle with you while all of us watch a movie." Her whimpering had ceased as she described to me what she wanted to do later. I smiled as I grabbed the truck keys and headed back outside. She followed me to the door and stopped, watching me as I got into the truck and pulled away. Heading to the northern part of Las Vegas.
I drove down East Lake Mead Boulevard, heading to Sunrise Manor so I could take South Nellis Boulevard to the Boulder Highway. My first stop was to Leather Headquarters. I had ordered the pink gauntlets earlier as a special request for Vixi. The manager had told me that they would be ready in time for her. Which was great to hear, because I could find no other leather store in the Las Vegas area to fill my request.
The Dodge stopped at the intersection of South Nellis Boulevard and Boulder Highway. I had pulled up at the light at the wrong time, it had just changed and this light was one of the longer ones. My hands tapped the steering wheel as I waited, a car beside me had their radio cranked up with some music that would drive anyone insane. I shook my head as I reached over to turn on my radio, hoping that my music would cover the music coming from the little car that sat next to my truck. As soon as I turned on the radio, the music started playing where I left off with Atreyu's A Death Grip On Yesterday. The car beside me turned up the radio louder. I couldn't help but laugh. My fingers pressed a series of buttons, causing my bass output to almost triple than what it was at. I could feel the truck vibrate slightly from the extreme amount of vibrations the stock speakers were putting out. The occupants of the car beside me looked up at my truck in awe. I waved to them as I pulled away after the light turned green. As I turned onto Boulder Highway, I turned down the bass. Setting it back down to the normal setting.
Leather Headquarters was up on my right about a mile and a half from the intersection. The Dodge pulled over into the far right lane and drove slightly slower than the rest of the traffic flow. I slowly turned the wheel and entered the parking lot of the Leather Headquarters, parking the truck right in the front row. My hands reached down to the ignition and turned off the truck as I opened the door and stepped out. I slowly walked up to the store and pulled open the large glass door so I could enter.
The smell of fine leathers assaulted my nose as I walked in. The smell was pleasant, but I was not use to the smell so it took me a few moments to adjust to the scent. I slowly walked up to the counter, it seemed that everyone was in back. My forearms rested on the counter as I waited for someone to help me. A few moment's later, a female about my age came out and smiled at me. "Oh, we didn't know anyone was waiting. I'm terribly sorry sir." Her smile was soft as was her voice. I smiled and shook my head slowly.
"No, that is fine. I was just admiring your work as I waited. Your company has great ability to form leather like this." The woman smiled and blushed slightly at the complement.
"Thank you." She paused for a moment. "Now how can I help you." Her figure stood directly in front of me, her arms leaning on the counter like mine so her cleavage shown slightly.
"She's trying to flirt with me." I smiled and laughed in my head. "I need to pick up a order I placed a while back for my daughter." The woman blinked a few times before standing up straight and walking over to the computer that was down on the far end of the counter.
"Oh...What is name you placed the order under?" She began to access the records of the pickups on the computer. I walked down to where she was and leaned again on the counter to attempt to see the computer screen.
"I placed it under my name. Adam Orlowski." My fingers tapping the counter slowly as she typed in my name into the computer.
"A pair of pink gauntlets?" She asked as she pulled up my order form. I nodded slowly and began to pull out my wallet from my back right pocket of my pants. "The total is $96.54 and I will go get those while you get out your money Adam." The woman went back into the area where she had exited from when I first entered. I pulled out a hundred dollar bill and placed it on the counter as I waited for her to return. My right hand put the wallet back into the back pocket as my left hand held down the large bill. She soon returned holding a elongated box in her arms as she carried it from the back room and placed it on the counter. "Here you go." The woman took the hundred dollar and went over to the cash register. As she did that, I opened the box to make sure they made the order correctly. I opened the lid to the box slowly, the smell of fine worked leather arose from the box. A soft smile crossed my lips as my eyes looked at the pink gauntlets. Down where Vixi's paws would go sat the Ying-Yang symbol just like on her mother's purple gauntlets. I closed the box with a extremely satisfied smile. The girl behind the counter gave me my cash back and a receipt.
"Thank you." I said as I walked out of the store and headed to my truck. My hand went to the driver's side door handle and opened the door slowly. I slid the box over into the passenger seat as I climbed in and shut my door. My hands dug into my front right pocket and grabbed out the truck keys. As I placed them in the ignition and started the truck, I thought for a moment. "Alright, I got the gauntlets. So I need to pick up the cake and Vixi's pink bow." I looked where I was at, thinking of where to go next. "Well, I should pick up the cake last so it doesn't bounce around too much in the backseat. I guess I'll go find Vixi's hair bow." My hand went to the shifter as I put the truck into reverse and backed out of the parking space.
I made my way back on North Nellis Boulevard, making my way to Fashion Q that was up by the bakery where I needed to pick the cake up from. Fashion Q was a woman's apparel store so they should have what I needed. I parked the truck towards the back of the store parking lot. My hands quickly turning off the truck and opening the door. As I stepped out, my cellphone went off. I quickly dug into my pocket and pulled it out, it was Rena. "Hey hun, just picking up the pink bow. Then all I have to do is pick up the cake and I'll be coming home." She murred happily as I told her an update of what I was doing and I should be home soon.
"Lunch is waiting for you love, so hurry home." Her sweet voice entered though the speaker. I smiled as I walked into the store and looked around to find the section of the store that held what I need.
"Ok hun, I will be home soon. I love you." My voice was soft as I scanned the store.
"Love you to Adam. Bye." She hung up the phone and I replaced my cellphone into my front right pocket of my jeans. As I looked around the store, a employee spotted me and walked over to aid me.
"Hello sir, welcome to Fashion Q. Can I help you find something?" The mid aged female came up to me with a fake smile and a attitude saying she didn't want to be working here.
"I need to pick up something for my daughter. Could you show me where you have hair ties and bows?" I asked politely. She nodded and gestured me to follow her. The sales woman led me over to a section near the Jewelery department.
"What are you looking for exactly sir?" She asked as she pointed at the large section of hair ties, hair bows, and hair clips.
"I just need a plain pink bow for my daughter. It's her birthday tomorrow and I'm doing some finishing up shopping." She smiled and nodded as she began the search among the hundreds of hair accessories.
"How old is she going to be?" Her hands going through a rack of hair bows that varied in colors. I smile as I think of Vixi, yet saddened that this was the first birthday that I was present for.
"She's going to be five tomorrow." The woman smiled softly as she pulled out a pink bow that was made with a sturdy material. It seemed to be a fake leather, but it was the same color as her gauntlets. I smiled happily and nodded. "That's exactly what I need." She smiled and handed it to me.
"Well, I'm glad that we had that for her sir. Would you like me to check you out quickly? I can do it here at the Jewelry department." I nod and walk over to the register that sat on a sturdy structure in the middle of the jewelery cases. She quickly rang me up and I paid for it. I thanked her again before exiting with the small bag in my hands. My pace quickened as I walked back to my truck, wanting to get back home to Rena. Plus, my stomach was beginning to growl from the lack of food. I placed the bag next to the elongated box that held Vixi's gauntlets as I climbed in. My hands quickly putting the keys into the ignition and starting the truck. I backed it out of the parking space and headed back to North Nellis Boulevard to make my final stop before heading home.
The bakery that I had the cake made at was Las Aguilas Bakery that was a mile or so up the road from the Fashion Q store. I sat back against the black leather seat, stretching my back slightly as I drove up to the intersection just before the bakery. The truck slowly came to a stop at the red light. I rolled my neck and shoulders at the same time, causing some of the joints to pop and crack slightly. The light soon turned green and I accelerated the truck through the intersection before maneuvering into a right turn lane that led to the bakery along with a couple other stores. I parked the Dodge in front of Las Aguilas Bakery and got out, I left the truck running since I would be in the bakery for only a second.
As I walked in, the smell of sweet bake goods permeated throughout the interior of the store. The smell caused my stomach to growl with more intensity for food. I walked up to the main counter where a female wearing a bakers uniform stood. She gave me a small smile as I approached her.
"Hello, how can I help you?" I gave her a quick smile before replying.
"I need to pick up a cake that I had specially ordered. The name I placed the order under is Adam Orlowski." The clerk nodded as she went in the back to the cooler to fetch the cake. I stood there for a few moments as I waited for the woman to return. My eyes went over to one of the display coolers that held more decorative cakes. One of the larger cakes caught my attention. The cake had three separate parts to it stacked on top of one another. A larger one at the bottom and a small one on top. On top of the smaller cake sat two figures. The figures were dressed in very formal clothing and the two figures held onto each other in a loving way. It finally came to me after looking at the cake for a few seconds, it was a wedding cake. Suddenly, my imagination began to take a hold of reality and replaced the female figurine with a figurine that looked like Rena. She was dressed in a snow white wedding dress as she stood beside a figurine looking like myself. I quickly shook my head as I heard the footsteps of the woman returning with the cake.
"Here you go sir, have a nice day." She handed the cake to me over the display cooler that I was standing next too. I carefully took the cake from her and gave her a soft nod of recognition. With the cake in my arms, I slowly walked out of the bakery and headed back to my truck. I placed the cake in the front passenger seat with the shorter side facing me. The Dodge quickly came to life as I turned the key. My hand went down to the shifter to place the truck in reverse so I could finally return home.
The drive back was uneventful and quiet, which I didn't mind. Some of the main roads were starting to get busier now since people were getting out of work and the changing of shifts. I arrived back to my house about forty minutes later. As I pulled into the driveway, I reached up with my right hand and pressed a button on a small black box that sat on the visor. The garage door slowly began to open after I pressed the button. I crept the truck up closer to the garage as the door raised. Soon, the garage was fully open and I was allowed to pull the Dodge in next to the Subaru. I quickly turned off the truck and stepped out. My gaze went back into the truck as I looked at the gifts and medium sized cake.
"I better leave these items in here until I know Vixi isn't awake, but I better have Rena distract her so I can carry in the cake." I slowly shut the door to the truck and began to walk to garage entrance of the house. As I opened the door, I heard Vixi scamper through the kitchen to greet me.
"Daddy!" I knelt down to pick her up in my arms and hold her to my chest. She nuzzled my chest gently for a second before looking up at me with her sky blue eyes. My thin lips formed a fatherly smile as I looked back at her.
"Where's mommy at?" Just as Vixi was about to answer, Rena slowly walked from the living room and leaned up against the wall of the kitchen. A soft smile was across her lips as she looked over at me and Vixi.
"You took longer than you should have." Her tone was as if she was scolding me, yet it was in a joking manor. I playfully bowed my head in a submissive way in a way of saying 'I am sorry.' A playful giggle escaped her muzzle as I bowed down to her. She slowly walked over to me and placed one of her furry digits under my chin to raise my head back up to its normal posture. Rena placed the end of her muzzle next to my left ear and gently whispered, "You're not suppose to be submissive love,.....I am." Her voice was sensual to my ears. I couldn't help but grin at her comment. She slowly pulled away and looked up to me with her sky blue eyes. "Your lunch is in the oven. Let me take Vixi so you can grab it and join us in the living room. We were just about to watch that movie Taken." Rena slowly takes Vixi and begins to walk back to the living room. She quickly glanced over to me just before going into the living room and smiled happily to me. I smiled back as I walked over to the oven and opened the large door. Inside sat a grilled turkey sandwich on rye along with some home made potato chips. A soft smile crossed my lips as I reached inside of the oven and pulled out the plate of food. I quickly closed the door to the oven and walked out of the kitchen to join Rena and Vixi.
I sat there with Rena clinging to my right side and Vixi in my lap as we watched the movie. The movie was one of the better ones that I have seen in quite a while. I especially favored the quote that the main actor made about finding the one who took his daughter and killing him. As the movie finished, I looked up at the cable box to see the digital read out for the clock. It was almost five o'clock. My gaze went over to Rena, who was looking back at me. "Are you getting hungry hun?" My voice slightly crackly from not speaking for a period of time. As I looked over at her, she replied with a soft nod of her muzzle.
"Mmmhhmm. What would you like me to make Adam?" She asked in her usual sweet voice. I shook my head and smiled softly.
"Your not going to cook anything. I'm cooking tonight. You made me lunch this afternoon. I'm going to return the favor." I winked at her playfully as I finished. She let out a soft whimper, but she knew she couldn't win.
"Ok hun. What do you want me to do then? Just sit here?" Rena wasn't one to just sit around. She always wanted to do things around the house, as a true housewife would do. I smiled softly as I placed the end of my nose against hers.
"Precisely." I answered her. She huffed in disgust and let go of me so she could cross her arms across her chest. A soft chuckle escaped my lips as she pouted like a young child being punished.
"You know I hate when you do this." Her voice was slightly stern as she spoke. I knew she hated it, but I wanted her to attempt to relax. Which I knew she wouldn't do unless I made her. Like I am doing to her now. I placed my arm closest to her around her figure and held her tenderly.
"Just sit here and relax and if I find you cleaning, or attempting to do any housework. I'm going to sleep downstairs tonight." That was another thing she extremely hated, us not sleeping together. A loud whimper escaped from her as I told her what the punishment would be if she disobeyed my request.
"Fine." She wasn't mad at me, she just wanted to help. But she had been working around the house way too much lately and she needed to relax. I kissed the side of her muzzle tenderly before I let go of her. My gaze switched down to Vixi, who was still curled up in my lap.
"How about chicken Alfredo? Vixi's ears perked up slightly as I suggested her favorite meal. She quickly got up and began to bounce up and down on my lap.
"Yeah!" I chuckled softly at her response. My hands quickly caught her as she was in mid-jump and held her for a few moments against my chest.
"Alright, alright hun." I looked down at her for a moment. "Can you do me a favor though?" She looked up at me with her sky blue eyes and nodded quickly. Her little tail wagging happily behind her. "Can you make sure mommy doesn't do any work around the house?" Vixi smiled and nodded again.
"But what if she does?" She whispers softly so Rena couldn't hear her. I bent down slightly and whispered back to her.
"You come get me quick. Okay?" Vixi nodded and looked back to Rena with a serious look. I chuckled softly as I placed her on Rena's lap so I could get up and start dinner.

From a long and safe distance, two figures watched Adam's house closely.
"Is that it?" A young, juvenile voice broke the silence between the two of them. The other figure nodded slowly and looked over to his apprentice.
"Yes. That is where 'she' is at. You will do what we planned three days from now when he is at work and they are alone." The other figure's voice was low and had a hint of agitation to it.
"What is the possibility of him coming home to confront me?" The younger one of the two asked, slightly worried.
"It's very unlikely. We have not sensed him use his powers since he has returned from the Digital world five years ago. So it may be possible he lost his powers." The juvenile nodded slightly and returned his gaze to the house he was to raid three days from now.
While the juvenile stood beside his master, his master grew an evil grin upon his lips. Knowing in three days, his main target's world would be flipped upside down.
Alright, I finally posted it. I will try my hardest to update a new chapter soon. Hopefully a 5 month pause will not happen again. I am sorry for all of those who I have annoyed for the long post periods. Until next time XxXDragonManXxX Out...
