Kate was lying alone in her and Garth's den. It was late in the afternoon and not much had been going on that day.

Kate had to admit, she had enjoyed spending time with Humphrey again, even though it made her sad knowing that she could never be with him the way she wished she could.

As she laid there, she suddenly heard somebody approaching outside. To her surprise, Humphrey walked into the den. "Hello, Kate," he said.

Kate got up. "Hello, Humphrey," she said as he walked up in front of her. "What are you doing here?"

"I just came by to tell you something," he said.

"What?"

Suddenly Humphrey pressed his muzzle against hers. Kate's eyes widened in surprise at first, but then she accepted the kiss and started kissing him back. She felt his tongue pressing against her teeth and she opened her mouth to grant his tongue access. Their tongues wrestled with each other as they kissed each other passionately.

Humphrey suddenly pulled away. "I love you, Kate. I've always loved you."

Kate gazed into his brilliant blue eyes. "Oh, Humphrey, I love you too. I wish I had told you sooner."

"Don't worry about it, Kate," said Humphrey. "I'm with you now."

Humphrey and Kate leaned back in towards each other and started making out again. Kate closed her eyes and laid down on her back with Humphrey over top of her, their muzzles still locked together. Kate wrapped her paws around his neck and pulled him down closer to her. She was in heaven. She could feel herself becoming wet with desire.

Kate opened her eyes again, but instead of seeing a pair of blue eyes looking down into hers, she saw a pair of green ones. Her eyes widened. It was Garth! She pushed up on him with her paws and broke the kiss.

Garth gazed down at her with lust. "I'm with you now, Kate," Garth said. "I will always be with you."

Garth leaned back down and started licking her neck. Kate was about to push him off her when she found that she was enjoying it. She started letting out small whimpers as more and more she didn't want him to stop.

Suddenly, she felt something pointed touch the outer lips of her moist slit. She instantly knew what it was… yet… a part of her wanted it. She wasn't sure what to do, but Garth seemed to make the decision for her as he then rocked his hips forward…

Kate bolted awake, breathing heavily. She was in her and Garth's den. It was pitch black outside and she could hear it raining. She looked beside her. Garth was lying next to her, snoring away. It was the middle of the night. She realized with relief that it had all just been a dream.

Thank God, she thought.

It had been almost a week since Candy and Hutch had been captured and taken to Idaho. Marcel and Paddy had gone to find them, but so far they hadn't heard anything from them yet.

Then Kate noticed she felt wet. She looked down between her hind legs and found that the fur around her nether regions was moist with arousal. The dream had apparently really turned her on during her sleep.

She was in heat. She had found out she was in her first heat cycle a few days ago. She was feeling a lot hornyer than usual, and her body was producing a very arousing scent that Garth and all the other males near her noticed wherever she went. She guessed the dream had just been a side effect of the heat or something because her body wanted to mate. She would just have to ride it out until it was over. She just hoped she wouldn't end up doing anything she'd regret.

She lay down to go back to sleep, although she doubted she would be able to after that dream.

A/N:I know this chapter was short, but don't worry, it was meant to be. I have some longer chapters already in the works after this chapter, so hang in there. Take it easy.
