Chapter 21: What's That On Your Chin Girl?
Jake tells Mister Big about Marie and the gets in the way of her packing for the conference.
The mansion's large private den was both warm and cozy, with brown paneled walls and plush rugs on the wooden floors. Paintings of wilderness scenes adorned the walls and a cheery fire cracked and popped in the oversized fireplace. Outside of the windows, the afternoon sun reflected off the snow and one could see the ice garden beyond.
"So my boy, tell me about this young lady you've been seeing," Mister Big asked after he sipped on his vodka and tonic. He was dressed in a white dress shirt with a black suit vest and pants. His jacket and tie were tossed on top of a neighboring desk, he was only this casual around very close friends and family.
The raccoon in the blue dress shirt had also removed his suit jacket and tie, which were draped over the back of the slightly oversized armchair he was sitting on. He looked over towards the bushy eyebrowed shrew who was sitting on a much similar, but also much smaller, dark green linen armchair which itself was sitting atop of the large deep brown mahogany desk. He sighed before he sipped his own drink and then winced at the taller polar bear that was sitting on a much larger matching armchair next to the desk. The bear was chuckling at him and Jake knew he was about to be gently grilled about Marie.
"What's wrong Jake? Are you embarrassed to bring her over to see us?" Koslov asked with a toothy grin.
Jake actually blushed before answering, "No sir, but she found out about our friendship by accident."
The shrew sat up and looked him in the eyes. "Accident, Jake?" he asked.
"We were almost mugged in the park across the street from the hotel," Jake answered, his eyes met the shrews. "One of the muggers got my wallet and when he saw my name, he panicked and gave it back while profusely apologizing. They called me your pet coon!"
The polar bear let put a hardy laugh, but then seeing his friend the shrew's face, he stopped.
"She found out you were with the mob and she got mad at me," the raccoon sighed. "She was concerned that I was a member of the Family, but she was even angrier with me about the fact I didn't tell her earlier. I thought Marie is a bit more naive like most mammals are about understanding how things really are in this city. It turns out I was wrong."
"Jake, you do know you are not my…pet coon? You are a dear friend, almost a member of my family," Mister Big said with concern in his voice.
"Thank you sir and I know that," the raccoon replied as the nodded his head. "But that hasn't been the first time I've heard others call me that name, so I'm used to it by now and it really doesn't bother me. What is more important is that I love Marie and I want her to know everyone in my life, but I don't want to overwhelm her. It's just that I don't want her to be scared of you and everyone else. Also Fru Fru can be a tad overbearing when you first meet her."
This time the shrew chuckled. "Well my boy, I perfectly understand what you mean and please take the time necessary before you bring her to meet us."
"Thank you, sir," Jake replied. "I did not mean to be disrespectful."
The shrew laughed and waved his paw indicating that he felt no disrespect.
"So are you ever going to tell us about the love of your life?" Koslov asked.
The raccoon's face lit up in a smile as he told his friends all about Marie.
"Well someone finally came home," the skunk snickered when she arrived back to the apartment after finishing her sift to find her roommate was finally home and curled up on the sofa.
The raccoon just looked up at her and yawned.
"Aw come on, I want all the dirty details!" Karen begged. "Was he a good lover?"
"I have no Idea, I was drunk and passed out," Marie replied.
"Are you telling me that he rutted you while you were passed out!" the skunk angrily snapped. "What a jerk! Are you going to let him get away with that…that's rape!"
"Only if he…what did you say? Oh, rutted me while I was passed out," the raccoon replied before she stretched and yawned again. "He had me put into his bed and then he slept on the sofa."
The skunk gave her a look of surprise and then walked over and picked up the pillow that Marie was lounging against. She held it up to her nose and sniffed it, before she gave her roommate a puzzled look. "You stole his pillow?"
"No, I just borrowed one of his pillowcases. I plan to give it back after I return from my trip."
"Girl you are hopeless!" the skunk laughed as she threw her paws in the air. "Just out of curiosity, have you told your parents that you two are dating?"
"I told my mother and father that I was dating Jake during my trip home for the Winter Solstice. She wanted to know why I didn't bring him with me, so I told her he was working. I couldn't tell her it was because he was still on probation."
"So you steal from your boyfriend and lie to your parents. You're turning into a bad stereotype of what everyone thinks about coons."
"I told y'all I borrowed the pillow case and I didn't lie to my parents, I just withheld information because he really was kind of working. Now I am going to my room and finish packing because Elouise will be her in a couple of hours."
"Just where is Jake? I figured he would be here getting as much..ah, you time before you leave."
"He had lunch with his friends in Tundratown, but he promised he'd be here to see me off."
She spent the afternoon packing and wondering where Jake was, but he showed up as promised. She giggled when he entered the apartment and looked around. "Nice sofa," he commented. "Did I tell you I really like that sofa?"
Marie blushed, when she remembered what she did to him when he last sat on the sofa.
The skunk was in the kitchen and rolled her eyes at the raccoon. "Good afternoon Jake," she called out. "I guess I should go to my room and leave you two alone?"
"No need, I'm still packing and so we will be in my room," Marie replied while she snuggled into Jake's arms.
The two raccoon's kissed, before she grabbed his paw and pulled him into her bedroom and shut the door. "Nice room," he replied while he looked around. The walls were still the usual apartment light grey and the carpet a little worn. There we photos on a bookshelf and he saw that many were of him. Her suitcase was in the center of the bed and there were clothes spread out everywhere. "Are you migrating?" he asked.
She giggled before replying, "No, Sugar, I just need to make sure I have the right professional clothes for the meetings and the right casual clothes for the evenings.
He walked over to a pile and picked up the item he spied from across the room, holding the pink lacy panties that still had a price tag in his paws, he asked, "So what are these for, professional or casual?"
She blushed as she snatched them from his paw. "Those aren't going!" she snapped. "Stop going through a girl's unmentionables."
"Shoot I was hoping you'd model them for me!" he laughed as his paw grabbed her and pulled her against his body as he kissed her. They were both panting when they stopped kissing.
"You should have taken advantage of me this morning. I wouldn't have minded," she softly whispered.
"I would have," he replied while he cupped her cheek with his paw and looked into her eyes. "But, it wouldn't have been as special as I wanted our first time together to be."
"Coon, you're going to be the death of me yet," she sighed. She could feel that he had hardened and was pressed against her. Her paw cupped his bulge, "We don't have time to do what we both want to do, but we do have time for a little fun."
He groaned when she unbuckled his pants and pulled them and his underwear down even while she shoved him onto her bed. She kissed the object of her intentions before she covered it with her mouth and began licking and sucking. He smelled of a male's deep musk and she felt his paw on top of her head as he panted. He lasted much longer this time and her jaws began to slightly ache before he finally moaned, just a little too loud, and shook when he ejaculated. She almost choked as she swallowed and grimaced when she realized that some had dribbled down her cheek and onto the bed sheet.
"That was fantastic!" he sighed while he pulled her up for a kiss, but he's attempt was interrupted when her phone buzzed. She looked at it and groaned, "It's my parents for our weekly muzzeltime call."
"Do you want me to meet them?"
She looked over at him, he stood there with his pants still down and shook her head. "Not like that, Sugar! Your other tail is still poking out. I'll talk to them in the den, they don't need to see a male raccoon in my bedroom."
Marie…" he started to say before she stepped out of the bedroom and closed the door. He winced because he didn't catch her in time to warn her about what was on her chin.
She answered the phone and the image of her parents popped up, "Hey guys, how's everyone on the farm?"
"Just peachy, well make that applely" her father joked since they owned an apple orchard. Marie laughed, it was her father's favorite joke and she had heard it hundreds of times before. "How's life in the big city for my favorite daughter?"
"I'm your only daughter," Marie scoffed while she sat down on the sofa. Karen started to giggle from the kitchen when she looked over at the raccoon.
"Marie what's on your chin?" her mother suddenly asked.
The younger raccoon panicked, "What do you mean?"
"You've got something white dribbled on your chin," her mother pointed out. "Are you feeling okay?"
"Here!" Karen said from behind her and handed her a wet napkin. "Wipe your face because you've got grits on your chin. Hello Mrs. Millbrooks, your daughter eats like a pig…well, if you know what I mean?"
"Grits?" the older raccoon skeptically replied. "Marie, where is that new boyfriend of yours?"
"He said that he's coming over this afternoon before I leave," Marie replied trying not to blush because she had some of Jake's whitish spunk on her grey chin fur. Jake peeked out of the bedroom and Marie turned so that the phone was facing the wall behind the sofa while she watched the male raccoon quietly sneak through the kitchen to the front door. "I'm expecting him anytime."
Jake grinned before he silently opened the door and pushed the doorbell. "I'll get it!" the skunk called out. "Why look who it is? Jake's here Marie!"
"Oh, Jake you're here just in time!" Marie pipped up while she waved Jake over to the sofa where she was sitting. Jake came and sat right next to her. "Mom and dad, this is Jake!"
They spent the next fifteen minutes while her mother grilled Jake about himself and his intentions towards her daughter. Then she had to marvel when Jake turned the tables on her parents and got into a lengthy conversation with her father about city politics.
Finally the doorbell buzzed again, "My goodness, its Elouise and I still have to pack! I've got to go guys, love you both." She quickly hung up and collapsed against Jake's shoulder.
"Did you enjoy your grits?" Jake chuckled. Karen had answered the door and when the male raccoon said that, she burst out laughing while Marie blushed.
"Did I miss something?" the ewe asked.
