Kate's POV

No matter what time of the year it was, once the sun went down in the city, if you were by the boardwalk it was always at the very least just a tad bit cold. That was the very reason I dressed in jeans and a pink T-shirt, but with my black leather jacket that I wasn't going to put on yet, but later once it got dark. I sprayed a few spurts of perfume and then decided whether or not to turn the air condition off. In the end I decided against it and walked down the stairs to meet Rick who was helping my mom with something in the kitchen. When I reached the bottom Lilly was standing by the dining room table, leaning on the wall and looking into the kitchen, but her eyes moved to me as I reached the bottom.

"All good?" I asked. She nodded.

"M-hm, just thinking about what to do. Might go for a swim or something. It's pretty warm out" she answered. I nodded and moved to the kitchen, passing Rick as he walked out. Our shoulders brushed against each other, and since I was so close I could smell his cologne which smelled sexy as always. Mom was kneeling by the oven, seemingly cleaning it as I approached her. I guess that's what she wanted help with. She turned to me as I approached her and then back to the oven as she wiped it.

"Will you be home tonight?" she asked. I nodded.

"Yeah, getting a room is nice and all but we really just want to get out, have fun night ya know?" I said. Mom turned to me again, this time with a smile. She stood up, brushing her hands on her pants and then pulled me into a hug. I hugged her back, wanting to thank her for all she had done.

"You two just be safe okay?" she said.

"Don't worry mom, I will" I told her. She kissed me on the cheek and then ducked into the fridge, handing me two water bottles.

"Here, it's a long drive down there. Tell Rick I said thanks again. He's been a real help lately" she said. I smiled and nodded once more, and then turned around to walk out of the kitchen. When I did though I saw Lilly whispering something to Rick which caught my attention. I was still a little on edge from what happened at the lake, but this didn't seem to have anything to do with that. Lilly looked almost concerned while Rick looked somewhat defeated. I couldn't hear what she was saying from here though and I wasn't the best at reading lips. Once she spotted me though she immediately stopped and turned to me fully.

"Well, have fun you two" she smiled. I wanted to ask her about what she just told Rick but decided against it. If anything I would just ask Rick and he would tell me. But I was still put off by it.

"Easy Lills. We'll be back, we're just gonna go out for a bit" Rick said. Lilly giggled.

"That's what I said. Have fun" she teased, opening the door for us. Rick smirked, grabbing his keys and then stepped out, me following close behind.

"See you tonight?" I asked.

"Maybe. Depends on what time you get back… and what you do when you get back" she said. Now it was my turn to smirk as we locked eyes. "Have fun," she added. I snickered and then stepped out finally. Lilly shut the door behind me and I heard a click, letting me know that neither of us had to lock the door. I followed Rick down the driveway to his truck and then climbed inside, buckling my seatbelt and waiting for him to get in.

It was around four o'clock and the weather was gorgeous. A perfect seventy making it warm with a cool breeze that smelled of summer. As much as I hated extreme heat it was moments like this that made me love summer. I only wish weather like this wasn't so rare. Rick shut his door and started the truck, now letting me put the windows down so that we could enjoy the air. Rick turned to me, clearly excited about the trip.

"Ready?" he asked. I smiled, seeing his face brighten up even more as I did so.

"Yeah. ready" I answered. Rick patted my leg with a smile and then put the truck in reverse, backing out and then driving up the road. Already I could feel the summer wind in my fur and hair and it felt amazing. However there was one thing that was truly keeping me back from fully enjoying it. "Hey. what did Lilly tell you before we left?" I asked. Rick glanced over at me and then back at the road.

"Uh… nothing really" he answered. I wasn't satisfied.

"Didn't seem like nothing" I said. Again Rick looked at me and then back to the road. I was beginning to feel anxious.

"I'll tell ya later okay? Just remind me. For now let's just… enjoy our date" Rick said. I sighed and turned to the windshield, not being ble to shake the feeling.

"It isn't bad is it?" I asked.

"No, just… just don't think about it okay? I'll tell ya later" he repeated.

"Well, okay" I replied. It was rough for a moment but it didn't take long for me to push down the feeling of having something big kept from me, and focus on the things we would get into later tonight. Just me and the love of my life in the gorgeous city for a lovely night. Lights lighting up the tall buildings and the weather adding to the scene as cool wind blew. The views… the sights… the sounds… the love. I could hardly contain my excitement.

Rick's POV

With the windows down as we drove over the bridge and into the city, I could catch Kate's sweet scent as wind blew into the truck. No matter how much I got of it, it never got old. I loved every bit of her. At one point during the ride across the bridge I looked over, seeing her hair blow towards the window as it hung open, almost as far down as it could go. She caught me looking and smiled, making the scene all the more gorgeous as the city and water in the background made the perfect picture, giving me an idea of something to draw later. I couldn't help but smile, thinking how much better it would be if it were night time, seeing the city lights in the background, but I guess I would see it as we left and I couldn't wait.

I turned back to the road, thinking about just how lucky I was to have such a gorgeous partner, also thinking of what we would do once we finally got into the city. I didn't even let the news that Lilly told me bother me. For now the only thing that mattered was her, the only thing that existed was her, and the only thing that I would focus on was her, my Kate. I felt her hand brush against my leg as she must have noticed I was still smiling. Her touch always spread a smile across my lips, but suddenly I thought of something else. We had agreed to go into the city, but not what we wanted to do there.

"So, where do you want to get to first?" I asked. I felt her finger curl on my jeans as she scratched lightly at my leg, humming in thought.

"Hm, well… I definitely wanted to go to the outlets again… for old time sake and get a look at the view, but that won't be until later" Kate answered as I nodded.

"You want to wait until the sun goes down," I said.

"M-hm. but until then… I don't know, why don't we start off by going to our spot?" Kate asked, making me excited again.

"Our spot? Yeah, we can go to our spot" I said as I now prepared to turn towards the boardwalk. We were almost off of the bridge so I would have to start getting into the right lane. "And after?" I asked.

"Lets just see where the day takes us after that" Kate replied. I was fine with that. The smell of the ocean only got stronger the closer we got, making me even less patient to reach our destination. Once getting close enough I turned off the radio and began slowing the truck down as we found a parking spot. Once I was parked I heard the click of Kate's seatbelt before she hopped out. I turned the truck off and got out myself, locking it after shutting the door and seeing her waiting for me in front of the truck. She had left her jacket inside, as did I since there was no reason to have it on right now. She reached her hand out to me which I accepted, wrapping our finger around each other's hands as we started to walk onto the boardwalk.

The sounds of families, waves crashing and seagulls filled the air, making the perfect scenery as we turned right where our spot sat. It was a bit of a walk but that meant there was more to enjoy. As we made our way over I had a brief thought on the last time we were here. It wasn't a good time at all but I wouldn't let that soil our spot. This was a comfort spot for us. A spot where we could go to when we were having a bad day or needed a comforting thought. Maybe not physically but thinking about it was always enough, even if me and Kate both pictured it at night with cold wind.

"Hey Kate, do you still think of this as your happy place?" I asked as we continued walking.

"Pshh, of course. This and our bed" she answered, making me chuckle.

"I can't tell if you're being serious," I said. She giggled and looked over to me.

"I am. Even if we're not doing anything it's still a special place to me. I just wish people weren't so weird about it" she explained. I understood what she meant. People her sex and instantly make it weird, but as most people who hung around around us long enough know, we were a little different when it comes to that. Kate turned to face forward again, giving me the urge to lean over and kiss her head, burying my muzzle into her sweet, soft hair and giving it a kiss just above her ear. She giggled as I did it and then we simply continued walking, holding hands as we often did until we saw the bench coming up in the distance.

"Hey Kate, remember before we started dating? How we would just… hold hands constantly?" I asked.

"Yeah… I do, what about it?" she smiled.

"I just… I just can't stop thinking about it all. I'm so glad I have you. It was just so sweet, cute… the way you started kissing my cheek… you didn't care what others thought did you?" I asked, already knowing the answer.

"No. I never cared about what anyone else thought. I still don't, but obviously back then was a little bit different. I guess I just didn't realize how much I wanted you. You were everything I ever wanted and I knew that but… didn't really realize it" Kate explained as we finally reached our spot and took a seat. Just then there was a breeze, making us smell the ocean and adding to the beautiful scene. Kate inhaled through her nose and then exhaled out her mouth with a smile. "Ahh, I love that smell… it's just… pretty" she said. I chuckled and rested my head on top of hers, looking out into the ocean with her.

"Yeah… it is' ' I said. I could see so many little things that added to it all. There was two guys riding their own jet ski, there was a sailboat off in the distance that seemed to be just sitting there which wasn't too much of a surprise given the dock that was far away but still visible, and a plane flying by with a banner displaying a coca cola ad, giving me an idea that I would have to use later if I could make it work. I smiled at the thought and nuzzled my lover again, sniffing her hair and making her giggle.

"Can't get enough of me huh?" she asked. I sniffed again and then answered.

"No… never" I smiled, planting another kiss on her. I turned back to the sight and simply looked out, thinking again of when we were here during the winter. "It's still night time whenever you think of this place isn't it?" I asked.

"Yeah… always night time and… cold, freezing cold. But you're always there to warm me up… doing what we're doing now. Moving away from here is gonna be sad" Kate explained, making me slightly worried.

"Moving away? What do you mean?" I asked.

"Well you didn't want to stay here forever did you? Plus given the career you and Humphrey want to pursue it's just… I love it here, but if you stay here you're not gonna exactly get far" Kate explained. She was right, but it still made me worried.

"We only have about three months Kate. we're gonna start getting into college and… what are we gonna do if you get accepted into one with dorms?" I asked. Kate didn't answer for a while, seemingly lost in thought.

"I keep putting that off. But I'm gonna have to start thinking about it extremely soon. We might be going to different colleges but that doesn't mean we still can't see each other, still date and… plus we have our breaks and… we're gonna graduate. We're not gonna stop dating if that's what you're worried about'' Kate explained.

"That's not what I'm worried about. I know we won't stop seeing each other but… I guess I'm just worried about how much we do. Dorms they're just… so strict sometimes" I replied, nuzzling her again. She sighed.

"Yeah… we won't be able to sleep together unless we do it in the middle of the day… we'll figure something out. All my time after class will probably be spent with you but… I'll just have to be back by a certain time" Kate explained, looking over to me and making me break my nuzzling. We met eyes for a moment and then shared a kiss before turning back to the ocean.

"If any guys hit on you there I'm gonna break their fucking necks" I said, making the two of us laugh.

"I know you will, but you know i'll tell them to fuck off" Kate smiled. We nuzzled each other again and then silently enjoyed the view, going in and out of small conversations for the next hour and a half until we decided to take a walk, going in and out of stores. Eventually we stopped at an ice cream stand, getting a cone and enjoying it as we continued our walk, still not letting go of each other's hands. At one point I made a joke about how obvious it was that Kate would get vanilla and was quickly punished with a dab of ice cream on my nose. I laughed and simply licked it off as we turned into a store that caught Kate's eye and over the next thirty minutes spent spoiling her as I dropped about seventy-five dollars on whatever she wanted.

Of course we stopped at an arcade, spending around two hours there before leaving and seeing that the sun was setting. We agreed that we should enjoy the view one more time as the sun dipped into the ocean, and enjoyed every second of it as it did. As always it was an amazing scene, seeing the orange sky as it got darker slowly with the orange sun dipping under. the wind began to blow more and more as the temperature dropped slightly, making us move closer together, not saying a word until it was completely night. After about another hour of walking around there we agreed it was time to leave for the outlets, which would be closing in about three hours. We walked back over to the truck, finally letting go of each other's hands and giving each other a quick kiss. Kate put her bag in the back seat and then climbed inside, and from there on out it was only about a seven minute drive until we got to our destination. This time though when we stepped out we were both putting on our jackets, and just like last time our hands met again as we walked into the center.

Entering the first thing I noticed was the extreme smell of popcorn. Kate must have instantly noticed it as well because she turned to me and smiled once she saw the look on my face. Already my mouth was watering as I began looking around to see where it could be coming from.

"I guess I know where you want to stop first, '' she teased. I laughed and then began walking to wherever my nose guided me. It didn't take long to find the stand, and when we did already I knew I was about to drop some serious cash. Not really but I had the urge to buy every popcorn kernel they had. The girl running the stand laughed as she saw how excited I was, tail wagging as she put out her fresh batch. She set down the container she was holding and then leaned on her elbows.

"So how much did you want?" she asked. Kate laughed again as I began reading that they sold containers of it to take home. So of course I bought the biggest one they had along with the biggest bag they had to eat right now and share with Kate. The girl asked which flavor we wanted to which I answered butter, but Kate wanted her own container to take home. She ended up getting a medium caramel corn flavor but didn't want a bag to eat now. Along with those three things we both got a cup of soda and ended up spending almost forty dollars. I laughed at the fact that I just spent that amount at a popcorn stand and offered to take the containers to the truck. Kate agreed as she would wait for me to come back, meaning we had to let go of each other's hand.

When I came back Kate was talking to the girl still, apparently they had gotten into the topic of recent movies coming out and were having a decent conversation. All I could focus on however was the large bag of popcorn as butter glistened over it, greasing up the bag and smelling as delicious as possible. We thanked her for the service and then took the bag as well as our drinks and walked over to a small table, sitting across from each other to eat for a moment.

"Sorry, I know you must be hungry for some real food at this point but I did not want to pass this up" I said as I began to dig in, making my fingers instantly greasy from the butter. Kate took a sip of her soda and then began running her fingers through the bag as well, picking out some popcorn herself.

"Oh it's fine, when I smelled it I really wanted it too. Thanks for that by the way" she said and then put her selection into her mouth.

"What did you want to eat anyway? Lots of selections around here" I said. Kate giggled and began looking around.

"Well… since we're eating this, and I assume you want to finish the bag, we can hit a few stores and then eat something. But… I don't know, I think there's a steakhouse around here somewhere. But I'll understand if you don't want to indulge in steak without your roadhouse sauce" Kate teased, making me laugh.

"Well, I don't know if we're gonna finish the whole bag, but we'll probably suck down most of it. It's up to you though" I said. Kate thought for a moment and then smiled again. "What?" I asked.

"I don't know. You seem to be really into popcorn. When we went to the movies you were excited about it, everytime we're out and you smell it you get it. Not at grocery stores though… not into microwave stuff?" Kate asked. I chuckled and then thought about what she said. She wasn't wrong.

"Um… bagged stuff, no. It just never comes out right. But in a popper or something, if you season it right before you pop it and have the right butter, that's when it all comes together. Stephanie told me that secret, and honestly that's when it all started making sense" I explained as I remembered asking her what the difference is with the movie theater popcorn.

"Well is that really it?" Kate asked as she ate some more.

"No, the butter the movie theater uses isn't even butter, it's just butter flavored oil. Remember when we went there not to long ago and you went to the bathroom?" I asked, referring to one of our other dates. Kate nodded.

"Yeah" she said.

"Well when you were gone, Stephanie went to butter our popcorn and it was out, so she had to change it and she brought out this box. I asked if that was really what it came in and so she let me read it. When I did I read that it was just oil, so yeah that's another thing" I explained. Kate nodded.

"Huh… I still think it was cute when she brought you a bucket" Kate said, making me laugh as I remembered when we all hung out one day. Stephanie had met up with us and while we didn't talk much that night, she did bring me a bucket of popcorn just for me. I laughed as I thanked her and took it, sharing it with Kate later that night. I guess my love for popcorn was noticed by more than just Kate.

"Yeah… she knows my obsession" I smiled before I ate another handful.

"So when did it start anyway? Your little obsession" Kate asked. I thought for a moment.

"So I've loved it ever since I was a pup. Movie theater popcorn specifically. The theater that we went to the first time, not the one Stephanie works at but the other one. I would go there, get popcorn and then just walk out and me and Angel would share it. Sometimes I would try to hide it from her but she knew every time. Eventually we would just go together and get a bucket and share it like that. I wanted to do that for a while but couldn't before I got my first car. So I would have to wait to go to the movies to see a movie which didn't always happen. But before that… before that I guess the first thing I remember is when I would go to the eye doctor" I explained, making Kate grow more curious.

"You used to go to the eye doctor?" she asked.

"Yeah, I actually had to get cataract surgery when I was two. Young for that I know but, I would probably be blind without that, or worse need glasses. Angel would have never let me live that down. But every time I would go I would be with my mother. She would call off work for the day, I wouldn't have to go to school and so it would just be me and her. My eye doctor was actually at a children's hospital as well so there were some things to do. They had these electric trains I would play with every time, a cafeteria we would eat at sometimes, and the whole time my mom would pull me around in this wagon. They had a bunch of them at the front door so there I was, climbing into one so that my mom could pull me around the place, and it was always a great time" I said, making Kate laugh as she could tell I was enjoying my reminiscing.

"How old were you?" she asked.

"Pshhh, like… five?" I said.

"Aww" Kate smiled, making me laugh.

"Yeah… before Angel was born. There were just a lot of things I enjoyed about the experience. Which is funny considering how at the end of the day it was just a doctor appointment. It never actually felt like that. Hell they even had games to play on computers in the waiting rooms. All that stuff and yet… At the end of it all, when we were walking back out the door there was this… little stand at the exit. I don't remember what they sold other than this but… their main thing was popcorn… and this popcorn was always given in a brown bag and was a must have every time we went. It was so good… and I remember getting a chocolate milk with it every time" I explained, making Kate laugh again.

"Chocolate milk? With popcorn?" she asked.

"Yep… with popcorn. The lady who ran the stand was named Ms. Mary, I remember that too… She was so nice. It was just her though so on the rare occasion she wasn't there, the stand was closed, and since we only went for an appointment every eight months or so it was always upsetting. But again it was rare. Ms Mary always remembered us… and she was always there to say hi and talk with my mom for a bit. I wonder if she's still there" I said, finishing my story and then taking a sip of coke. Kate got lost in thought, looking down at the table as she began speaking.

"Maybe… I'm sure she would love to see how much you grew up… how you have your own family now" Kate explained. Making me smile which didn't last long as I thought of a question that she would definitely ask. So sweetie, how's your mother?

"Yeah, I'm sure she would… I hope she's okay" I said, looking around the area. "Hey… I don't wanna waste so much time on popcorn. We ate about a fourth of the bag, why don't we try to see as much as we can before they close" I said. Kate took another handful and then nodded as she stood up. I stood up as well, rolling the top of the bag to close it and then putting it under my arm to have room to hold my cup, as well as Kate's hand with my other. We pushed our chairs in, met hands, and then began our journey again, looking around for a store to search which didn't take long as Kate once again found a clothing store with a jacket that was on display in the window. I chuckled knowing that my wallet was about to give more and then the two of us went inside.

When we walked in Kate took a moment to look over some clothes, leading up to the jacket she saw on the mannequin. Eventually though she did find it along with the price which read ninety-seven dollars. It was a nice red leather jacket that I honestly thought looked really good. Kate's tail began to wag as she flicked through the sizes, eventually finding a small and trying it on.

"Going for the Claire Redfield look huh?" I teased. The jacket looked great on her, but it also gave off that kind of vibe which I honestly dug.

"It does kind of look like that huh? Like it?" she asked, striking a pose for me. I chuckled, looking her up and down, admiring her beauty.

"Oh yeah. It looks great on you. want it?" I asked, making her tail wag even faster.

"Yeah but… I'm gonna buy it, okay? You've spent enough, and I think it's time I got my card dirty too" she explained as she took the jacket off and began putting her black one back on.

"Oh come on, let me spoil you" I said, making her giggle.

"Not a chance, you spoil me enough. Besides I haven't spent money like this in awhile, I think it's about time I finally do" she said. I nodded and began looking around the store when suddenly my eyes landed on something outside the shop. It was some type of weapon store, selling knives and such. Something that made a lightbulb in my mind go off.

"Alright, anything else you wanted to look at?" I asked. Kate looked around for a moment and then shrugged.

"Probably, but I really shouldn't. Hmm… maybe some brown boots to go with this… nah, it's summer I'm not gonna even wear this for awhile. I'm just gonna check out now" she answered, going towards the cash register when I let go of her hand. She stared at me confused, wondering why I let go. I had to think of something.

"Alright well I have to use the bathroom. I think I saw one just outside the shop. Meet you in the front?" I asked. Kate smiled again and stood on her toes for a moment to give me a kiss.

"Sure," she smiled. I chuckled, giving her ear a scratch and then went outside to quickly buy a knife. I had a couple of my own sure, but I figured I would get one especially for her. Why I was being secretive about it was because it had to do with Lilly's news and I didnt want Kate to worry. I just wanted us to enjoy the rest of our night.

Quickly I ran over, asking the guy behind the counter to get me the pink pocket knife that I spotted after a quick scan of the selection. He nodded and picked it out, and honestly seemed like a pretty cool guy, but sadly I couldn't stick around. He put it in a small slim box as well as a cool silver one I got for myself since I couldn't help it and sold them both to me for about fifteen bucks. I thanked him, sliding the two boxes in two of my pockets and then went back to the front of the clothing store where Kate was just coming out.

"Hm… must've been a piss" she teased, making me chuckle.

"Candy store?" I asked as I reached my hand out to her, nudging over to the store just across the way where the name it's sugar was spelled in bright pink neon lights. Kate took my hand, carrying her bag in the other as she smiled back at me.

"Candy store," she said. We went inside, having a fun time picking out some sweets, and when we came out we decided to finally go and eat some real food. What Kate wanted was a wrap surprisingly, so we went to a place to get it and it smelled really good. As she got her food, I went to another place to get mine, and we ended up eating next to some fountains that were glowing different colors thanks to the lights installed inside them. We sat down, spent about twenty minutes eating and talking about mundane things and then finally decided to check out the view after checking out two more stores. By then it was around ten o'clock and the stores were beginning to close, but thankfully we could still walk around, going onto the balcony and seeing the city as it shined beautifully in the distance. We didn't take a seat, although I did spot the one where we first kissed properly, making me remember that amazing night. Instead though we walked over to the edge, hanging onto the glass railing as we looked out. Kate exhaled as she enjoyed the amazing night air.

"I know we've seen it before, but still… you can't beat that view" she said, looking out. Like the view earlier, I rested my head on hers, smiling as I felt her warmth.

"Yeah… I always enjoy a nice city view… and the company of a loved one" I said, nuzzling her and making her giggle. She lifted her head to kiss under my chin, which led to me catching her lips, and giving her a small peck as well as a lick on her tongue. Again she giggled, smiling as we embraced each other.

"You remember that night don't you? When we first kissed for real?" she asked, making me chuckle.

"I was just thinking about it. At that bench right over there" I said, nudging my head over to it and making Kate look. She giggled as she turned back to me, and gave my lips another sweet peck, with lust filling her eyes.

"We've come a long way haven't we?" she asked. I smiled, kissing her again.

"Yeah… our stories not ending Kate, I promise you that" I said, making her keep her smile, although it changed to show that she could tell something was off.

"I know… why would it? Is everything okay Rick?" she asked, making me curse myself as I just fucked up the moment.

"It's fine. I promise, everything will be fine. I just want you to know that we have a future together. Nothing is going to change that. After college we just… need a plan" I said. Kate laughed, staying close as she kept her perfect smile which always made me smile in return.

"I think we both know. I think… I think I want to write like I said, maybe get into your business a little bit and… hmm, get married. Dont tell my mom that I told you but… I know that you're serious about marrying me" Kate smiled, making my heart sink a bit.

"You do?" I asked, feeling scared all of a sudden. Kate nodded happily and planted another kiss on my lips.

"M-hm, I'm looking forward to being yours… ahhh, Kate Riley. It's got a nice ring to it don't ya think?" Kate asked, making my heart feel warm and whole.

"You… you want my last name?" I asked. She nodded again.

"Yeah" she said. I moved my thumbs around her hands as I held both of them, wanting to kiss her again.

"Kate Riley… it does sound nice" I said, looking into her eyes as she kept her smile. Time seemed to freeze again as we looked, getting lost and not saying a word, until eventually we both leaned in again, meeting lips which led to tongues, and the sweetest taste in my mouth as we shared our love. Like most times we just got lost in the moment, losing track of time until we realized that we had been kissing for over five minutes. When we finally let go of each other's mouths Kate smiled again, giggling nervously.

"I love you," she said. I pecked her lips again.

"I love you too Kate, more than you'll ever know" I smiled. We both got lost again, sharing another kiss and then deciding to leave, taking a picture of us to savor the memory, and never losing it. The night Kate told me that she wanted to become a Riley. The picture came out gorgeous. Us cheek against cheek looking happy as the city lurked in the background, adding to the emotion of it all, and that was only the start as we drove back, I looked over again, getting that view I thought of earlier as Kate smiled at me again, and just like I thought it was as beautiful and perfect as ever.

Kate's POV

Once we got home, Rick locked up the truck as I pulled out my keys to unlock the door. I felt tired, but horny. All that kissing on the deck made me feel extremely love hungry, and knowing Rick I knew that I was about to get it. My tail wagged slightly at the thought, and entering the house I saw that all the lights were out, meaning that mom and dad were asleep. I put the popcorn on the counter as Rick carried the bags in and up to my room. I grabbed two water bottles out of the fridge and followed him up, being careful not to make too much noise when we saw Lilly's light on with her door cracked. She was up probably playing video games but we didn't bother her. We both went into my room and shut the door, locking it as Rick placed the bags in front of my bed and turned to me, beginning to say something that I didn't catch as I kissed him, licking up his tongue and putting all my love into the kiss.

"You don't wanna shower?" he asked. I shook my head.

"No" I said shortly, pushing him onto the bed and taking off my jacket before crawling over him, and kissing him again hungrily, arching my back as I felt myself grow tingly. I moaned into the kiss, making Rick chuckle into it as he felt up my back, turning me on even more. When I broke the kiss to take off my shirt though Rick stopped me, placing a hand on my wrist. "What?" I asked.

"Hang on, just… sit with me a second," he said. I felt a little annoyed but knew he was stopping me for a reason, so I got off of him and rolled over to his side of the bed. He scooted to the edge and I followed, sitting next to him, now feeling concerned as he sat in silence.

"Rick?" I asked, feeling nervous more and more by the second.

"Kate, I want to end this night on a good note, but the sooner you know this the better" he began. Now making me panic.

"Does this have to do with what Lilly told you earlier?" I asked. Rick nodded, looking over at me nervously. For a moment I thought it had something to do with the other night, and the thought of that angered me a lot, but I trusted Rick, so I would hear him out first.

"Well, what is it?" I asked. Rick looked away from me and then sighed.

"Listen I… first of all I need to give you this, and don't tell your mom you have this, if she finds out I gave this to you now she'll kill me" Rick explained, reaching into his pocket and pulling out a thin box. My curiosity peaked. I reached and took it, opening the box to reveal a pink pocket knife. I picked it up, putting the box to my side and then flicking it open, revealing a pink and silver blade. It was odd that Rick got me this. I had pocket knives before, and used to have a gun in my night stand when Rick moved in, but after the whole suicide thing Mom took it understandably, and I didn't even know where it was. There was no point in asking for it back though, and even though it wasn't mine I still wasn't sure if Rick even knew where it was. From what I understood mom didn't want me to have a weapon for a while, which for a knife it was weird considering I could just go downstairs and get one, or better yet bust into my dad's gun cabinet, but that was beside the point.

"It's… cute… when did you-"

"I didn't actually go to the bathroom. I went and I picked this up for you because… well I hope I'm wrong but you might need it" Rick explained, confusing me even more.

"But… why?" I asked, closing the knife and looking back over to Rick.

"So… last night, Humphrey's mom was told that Lyle got released from prison. His time to serve is up. Now she doesn't think he'll do anything stupid but I'm not taking that risk. He;s out there again, and I'm not letting anything happen to you if I can help it" Rick said. For a moment I felt anger, the same anger I felt when I learned that he only got a couple of months after what he did to us. I clutched the knife, holding it in my palm as I thought of what I might have to do, but like Rick said the chances were low.

"Has she heard anything from him?" I asked. Rick shook his head.

"No, the police department thought she should know though. She told Humphrey, Humphrey told Lilly… Lilly told me… I'm telling you" Rick explained. I put the knife back in the box and then put the box on the floor. "The thing that makes me nervous is that there's only a restraining order on Humphrey and his mom. Not us… so even if he were to so much as come near us I wanted us to be ready for if he tries something" Rick continued.

"I don't know Rick. he;s out of prison. Do you really think he would be dumb enough to try something?" I asked. Rick shrugged.

"I hope not but… better safe than sorry" he said. I bit my lip and then leaned over to kiss him on the cheek.

"Thank you. I know you just want me to be safe" I said. Rick smiled lightly.

"I'm not gonna let anything happen to you" he said, making my heart melt.

"I know you wouldn't," I replied. I then leaned over and our lips connected again, soon after that our tongues met and before I knew it Rick's arms were around me again. We broke the kiss to undress, one piece of clothing at a time. The room felt cool as the air conditioner did its job to perfection, making it all the more comfortable when we turned out the lights and got under the covers. Rick got on top of me, making me feel his hard member against my butt as he grinded on me. He must have felt a tingle within as he groaned, closing his eyes and making me smile at the cuteness. He kissed and licked at my neck, going to grab himself so that he could be inside me, but I lifted my head up and out of the pillow to kiss him again, and then rolled over as I felt my hunger take over. I wanted to be on top, but I also wanted to please him as well. I pressed my muzzle against his and we kissed, scrunching them tightly until we broke the kiss, out of breath and panting on each other. I giggled, giving his neck a kiss. "Want a snack?" I asked seductively.

"Yeah," Rick answered. I giggled, kissing his lips again and then tried something different. I lifted my body up, crawling over him and grabbing hold of the head board as my dripping pussy hung over Rick's face, oozing my hot juices onto him. I could feel his breath on it as he awaited it, my warm and soft legs pressing against his face as I lowered myself, and then felt his warm mouth and a tingle as my pussy finally connected with him. I shivered, letting out a moan that was probably loud enough to hear outside the room. I had to be quiet.

Like recently Rick took long sniffs, making the fur on my hot pussy move towards him as he took in my sweet scent. I bit my lip, trying not to moan loudly and then sunk onto him further. Rick tried to moan as the bed creaked, making me hum as I began to hump his muzzle. Rick went to lick lovingly, trying to breathe at the same time but unlike every other time he couldn't come up for air. He was stuck in my tight prison.

My hot and wet walls squeezed his muzzle lightly, releasing some warm juices as they began to run down his face. He licked at my pussy long and lovingly, trying to savor the taste as I continued my slow rhythm. I hummed and hummed, trying not to shout. It was really hard but I managed. Eventually Rick hit my sweet spot as he began licking deeper in my pussy, making me bite my lip so hard to the point where I was surprised I wasn't drawing any blood. We would definitely have to do this again when we were alone in the house so that I could scream. Instead I would have to make due with loud panting and hums.

I moaned again, gritting my teeth as I began to drool more and more onto my lover. He continued to lick and slurp as my pussy gave more and more, my humping becoming deeper and ever so slightly faster. I could feel as his tongue hit my sweet spot again and again as he panted, trying to get as much air as he could, but my love tunnel and thighs were making it really hard. my fingers gripped the head board tighter and tighter as I neared my climax. I simply looked down with closed eyes, panting as my tongue hung between my fangs with a little bit of drool hanging down as the adorable wolf below me cleaned me out.

I hummed again, and then moaned sweetly as I continued humping him. My tail swayed over his chest as he ate, filling the room with sweet moans and slurping. Rick exhaled, and then inhaled shortly, getting more and more out of breath which only brought me more pleasure, as the pants of his breathing brought more depth to my everlasting euphoria. But as I continued my humping, I began thinking that he had to be actually struggling as this had been going on for around six minutes. I had to give the poor wolf a break, no matter how much he loved my pussy,

That thought went out the window though as he pulled me onto him, putting his hands on my soft ass and pulling me in, assisting me with my rhythm. I yelped but caught myself, praying that my parents didn't hear that. I had to cover my mouth to stop myself from screaming, when suddenly I felt one of Rick's fangs poke my sweet spot. I moaned as my pussy clenched his muzzle, and then felt a huge gallon of cum spray out of me and onto my lover as well as the pillow he lay in. I sprayed more and more sweet cum onto him as he kept his grip on me, slurping it all as I kept my humping slow and steady.

Looking up at the ceiling exhaled, opening my eyes as I felt his tongue clean up the rest, Licking inside and out, replacing my cum with his saliva. I shivered, exhaling as I looked down, finally getting off of him and hearing him gasp for air as lines of juices and saliva connected me and his muzzle. He was extremely out of breath, panting wildly with the cutest smile on his face. I giggled, leaning in to give him a kiss on the lips, stopping his panting for a moment as our lips connected, but resumed once we parted. Not only that but I could smell myself as I got close to him, realizing just how drenched his face was, as well as the pillow. I felt my breasts press against his chest as I smiled at him, feeling how hard he was as he throbbed between my butt.

"Oh… you poor thing… let me take care of you" I said. He said nothing and continued panting as I lifted myself up, lining up his cock with my sloppy pussy, and then sinking down onto him slowly as he moaned, still panting wildly. I lifted myself up, placing my arms just outside the frame of the pillow to hold my face over his as he continued panting, and began humping him again as the bed creaked once more. I was beginning to notice how it creaked a lot more than it did, but that was okay as it made the scene all the more sexy.

My breasts just barely touched his chest as we had sex. But that was only a minor thought as I could only focus on his cute panting, and while he was doing that I was panting as well, just nowhere near as hard. But even so I was just enjoying the feeling of his rock hard cock as I panted sweetly onto his nose. He must have really been turned on though, as I only humped him for around fifteen seconds, getting about ten thrusts in before I felt his penis retract, and then shoot loads of hot semen deep inside me. I moaned, closing my eyes as he held onto my waist, still trying to catch his breath as he came more and more.

At this point I was in a whole other state of mind, losing count of all the ropes that were shot, until eventually I felt the familiar feeling of hot cum oozing out of me, and pooling around our legs, soaking the bed. So there we were, two panting wolves, madly in love as we climaxed, cumming on each other until we were milked dry, and with both of us panting, I finally opened my eyes, still seeing Rick had his closed as I breathed heavily onto his nose. I could feel his hot cum oozing down my walls before leaning in and giving his nose a sweet kiss, and then lifting myself off of him with the usual wet pop.

We snuggled, nuzzling each other into the cum drenched pillow, and fell asleep right there, in each other's arms, panting heavily and feeling safe, our bodies pressed up against one another tightly. It took awhile for us to finally catch our breath, but when we did it was just as peaceful as usual. I loved him so much, and I knew he would keep his promise to me. I just couldn't wait to officially become Kate Riley. That thought just kept coming into my heart, picturing the wedding, the future, and the stuff we would get into later that night, perhaps a pill for our wedding night? Oh the plans. Those thoughts along with the afterglow of sex, kept a smile on my face until my lover and I both fell fast asleep.
