Humphrey's POV

"Oh come on, I'm just poking some fun. Besides don't act like you're not proud of it" Lilly teased as Rick finished fitting the air conditioner. I laughed as I held the window, earning a quick look from Rick where he stopped in his tracks for a moment. I shrugged at him with a grin, making him laugh lightly just before he finished.

"Well I don't know about you guys but we haven't had sex in literal months. Your sister and I just kinda needed it" Rick explained jokingly.

"Cute, but I really never saw her so out of it. Think you can do that for me one day?" Lilly asked jokingly. My heart skipped a beat for a second but I knew it was only a joke. Plus Rick's response made me feel assured.

"You bet" he said sarcastically, making her giggle. He then turned to me and nudged to the window. I nodded and slid it down on top of the AC. like Kate's it fit perfectly. I then grabbed the cord and went to plug it in. "high?" Rick asked.

"Oh yeah, I'm ready to take a nap" Lilly answered. I heard a click behind me as Rick set the position of the switch. Once I plugged it in I then heard it begin to blow air as expected.

"All good?" I asked.

"Oh yeah. So what are you boys gonna do anyway?" Lilly asked. I looked over at Rick as he looked at me. He didn't say anything though.

"I'm sure we'll think of something" I answered as I walked over to her and then cupped her muzzle to pull her into a loving kiss. She pecked my lips, giving me the sweet taste that I loved and smiled.

"Why don't you come back tonight? Enjoy the air with me?" she asked seductively as I felt the outline of her smile on my lips, keeping my eyes closed. I opened them and smiled back with a chuckle.

"Sounds lovely," I said. Just then Rick walked past me and out of the room, causing Lilly to pull back and call to him.

"Bye Rick" she called cheerfully.

"Bye" he called back. She then turned back to me and gave me another smooch.

"I really do want to see if you can make me look like that" she said, referring to Kate and her after sex state. But as far she could always just look like that after sex. I also felt a tad bit odd with her comparing me to what Rick could do, honestly making me feel a little insecure. But maybe that was the point to get me fired up and give it my all like the night we made up and fucked like animals.

"We'll see, '' I whispered, giving her a lick on the nose. She giggled again, giving me one more kiss before going to lay down. I smiled and then turned to the door to leave, walking out of the room and shutting the door behind me. Rick wasn't in the hallway though. He must have been down stairs. I made my way down and sure enough there he was by the door, grabbing his keys off the key holder. "Hey, do you want to just take my car?" I asked him.

"Up to you, saves me the gas, '' Rick said. I shook my head with a smile and walked out the front, letting Rick go behind me so that he could lock the door and such. Honestly it was weird how both of us were acting like nothing happened the day before, but I knew it wouldn't be long until the real awkwardness set in. We walked to my car and hopped inside, me of course being behind the wheel and Rick in the passenger seat. We sat in silence as I held my finger up, twirling my keys in circles.

"So where to?" I asked, turning to him again. Rick thought for a moment but like me came up empty. "How about my place until we think of something" I suggested.

"That's fine," Rick said. I nodded, putting the keys in the ignition and starting the car. The ride was pretty quiet at first, making it all feel really awkward but eventually Rick broke the silence. "So graduation… what did you and Lilly get up to once we left the restaurant?" he asked. I laughed.

"What do you think man?" I asked back. Rick laughed as well. It was clear he only asked that so it wouldn't be quiet but it made me think of something that was on my mind. "Hey so… when you went to your truck that night and came back with Lilly, what were you talking about?" I asked. Rick seemed to tense up at the question.

"Why?" he asked. I shrugged.

"Just wondering why you were holding hands when you come back is all" I said, not to start anything but to be honest. I really did want to know as well as Kate but I don't think she asked him, and Shaky was to stupid to notice.

"Well, she came to talk to me to see if I was okay. I was just upset about graduation is all, and she helped me out" Rick explained.

"Upset?" I asked.

"My family, I didn't get to see them," Rick said. Oh… how could I forget?

"Shit, sorry I didn't mean-"

"It's okay. I know you didn't mean anything, and I know you trust me and Lilly to not do anything. Even Though she is more than willing to admit she still has a thing for me" Rick said, now making me feel a bit odd.

"Want me to talk to her about it?" I asked, offering a glance for a moment.

"No, it's fine. Honestly I find it funny and… in some contexts kind of sweet" Rick answered. I nodded, satisfied with the answer.

"I'm glad you two are so close" I said.

"I'm glad that she has you. You two are really cute together" Rick said, offering a smile. I smiled as well but not at him as I had to keep an eye on the road, and with my house just around the corner, the rest of the ride was relatively silent. When we did end up getting to my place we both walked up to the front as I took my keys out. Rick waited for me to unlock everything, looking around at the neighborhood behind us for a moment until I got the door open. I stepped inside and Rick followed just as my mom was walking over to the kitchen, meeting us on the way.

"Hey Humphrey, everything alright?" she asked.

"All good, just spending a moment with Rick for awhile-"

"Rick?" she asked, turning around to look behind me. I guess she didn't notice him. She offered a sympathetic smile and welcomed him with open arms. "Rick, baby. How is everything?" she asked after hugging him. She hadn't seen him since everything happened, and I hadn't told her about our little fight so this was the first time she had heard anything outside of yeah mom, he's fine.

"Everything has been great actually. Just… a little more healing is all" Rick answered. Mom nodded.

"I'm sure. You know if you ever need a place to stay, my door is always open" she replied.

"Thank you," Rick said. Mom smiled again.

"Of course" she told him, finally letting go of his arm and letting us walk to the backyard. As we walked out the back door and over to the small table and chairs Rick asked me something that made me feel dumb.

"If we were just gonna come out here then why didn't we just use the fence?" he asked. I bit my lip as I sat down.

"Shut up" I said, earning a light laugh from Rick as he sat next to me. I laughed with him but the smiles didn't last long and again fell to awkward silence. Rick was the one who broke it.

"So… we can keep acting like nothing happened, and while that would be easier it wouldnt be respectful. I know you meant what you said that day on the sidewalk, and I never really got a chance to say it back to you so I wanted you to know… I love you too… you're my brother Humphrey. I would die for you, just like I know you would die for me, and Shaky, and Lilly… and I'm just… I'm so s-"

"I know you are Rick… you don't have to say it '' I told him. We locked eyes and I offered a small smile. "Family's fight sometimes. Nothing you can really do about it. What matters is that we forgive and move on, and I know how much you love Kate… that's why I stopped that day. You know on top of everything else" I said with a hint of laughter, causing Rick to return it. "There is something though… something I think you should know going forward" I added.

"What?" Rick asked. I prepared myself for saying what I wanted to, hoping it wouldn't harm us but I felt confident it wouldn't.

"I love Lilly, I really do. She's the one that I want to marry, have pups with, and love forever and ever. That being said though… I still have feelings for Kate. that's never gonna go away. She was my first ever crush and hanging around her all this time, getting to know her even more I just… I'm always going to love her in more ways than one, and sometimes I do wish I was in your shoes but… I'm really happy with who I have as well" I said. It took a moment for Rick to say anything, and I could see that he was trying to remember something, making me question what before he spoke.

"Humphrey… It's okay. You had your chance, you didn't take it, I thank you for that. I still trust you and her. The reason is because well… I think what you just said applies to Lilly too. Only she is very up front about it" Rick said, making me laugh but also realize that what he said wasn't wrong.

"So we're good?" I asked.

"Always" Rick said, holding out his hand. I accepted it and while we did shake it seemed off, like it wasn't enough. We stopped, holding each other's hand for a moment before I stood up and hugged him. He chuckled and hugged me back. "Sorry," Rick said.

"I told you not to apologize," I replied.

"Too late" Rick said just before breaking the hug. We took our seats again and then I sighed.

"So Lilly told me that her dad is gonna clean out the pool soon. It's gonna be a fun summer" I said. Rick nodded with a smile but I noticed it disappear rather quickly along with his ears flattening. I knew he was thinking of his sister and what could have been. "So uh… any ideas on what to do?" I asked. Rick turned to me again.

"Still got that pool table in the basement?" he asked.

"Yep" I answered.

Kate's POV

I woke up feeling extremely loose and as if I was on a cloud. Even with the disturbance halfway through that was probably the best sleep I had in so long. I opened my eyes, blinking a couple of times, clinging to the covers as the air conditioner had my room the perfect amount of freezing, all while playing its heavenly hum. I stretched both my arms and legs, my fur still sticking to the sheets a bit. I giggled and rolled over, checking the time on my phone which read five thirty-two. I groaned and nuzzled into the pillow again, shutting my eyes and sniffing it to catch the scent of love. I picked up on it and smiled.

Taking my head out of my pillow my hair felt extremely messy. I yawned and lifted the covers off of me. I felt so well rested it wasn't even funny. I dug in my dresser, pulling out shorts and a loose T-shirt and put them on. It felt so nice and free but I knew I wreaked of sex. Oh well. I stepped outside and looked to my left to see if Lilly was up. I saw her light was on so I walked over to find her laying on her bed reading one of her books. I gave a light knock on the door frame which made her lift her head and giggle.

"Finally awake huh?" she teased.

"Oh my God Lilly, you have no idea" I said, walking over and sitting next to her. She laughed and closed her book.

"Ugh, you smell like your bed" she told me, making me giggle.

"Yeah I gotta change my sheets soon and all that but… I kinda like the smell. Maybe I'm just weird" I said.

"Fur and hairs still a mess. What are you gonna tell mom and dad?" Lilly asked.

"I won't have to tell them anything. They'll smell me" I said, again getting a laugh from my sister.

"They'll kill you is what they'll do. Well… maybe mom wont. What you're not gonna shower?" Lilly asked.

"No, it's already almost six and Rick and I are just gonna have sex again when he comes back" I said. Lilly smiled and shook her head.

"Was that really the first time you guys did anything since everything?" she asked. I nodded.

"Yeah… really glad to get that back" I said. Lilly nodded with an understanding look.

"So… what is that bite on your neck anyway? You said that's what it was right?" Lilly asked.

"Well I was feeling horny, romantical, and… I'm assuming Humphrey told you what happened with Rick?" I asked.

"Yeah… I was just as surprised as Shaky" Lilly replied.

"Well I felt disloyal and… like a slut if I'm being honest. We talked it out but it still wasn't enough for me so… I asked him to claim me" I said which led to an awkward stare from Lilly.

"Claim?" she asked.

"Yep, it took some convincing and puppy eyes to get him to bite me, but he said that he would do it to me as long as I did it to him. Plus he still looked pretty hungry when he left" I explained.

"Claim him? How the hll are you gonna do that? Guys didn't get claimed back then. And why so ancient?" Lilly asked.

"It's just a love mark. But to answer your question I don't know. I haven't really thought of that. I guess I'll just bite him when he cums" I explained. Lilly shrugged.

"Meh, I guess that works. Glad to hear you two are having sex again" she added. I giggled and thought for a moment.

"You know… we got into a bit of an argument today just before. I told him that I wasn't worth it, and like every time he told me that I was… and then I said that everything leading up to this point. The stabbings, the killings, the endless drama, the loss of his entire family. I laid it all out for him with the route of it being me. Regardless if it was my fault, there is no doubting that if he never got with me like he dreamed of, then he wouldn't have ever had to deal with the things he's been through. So with all that on the table I asked him if he knew all that would happen if he would still date me… and… he said yes… almost no hesitation" I explained. I looked up from my hands to see Lilly with a look of slight surprise on her face.

"I don't know what to say that's already been said. It's a leap sure but… he loves you Kate" Lilly said. I nodded.

"I know, and I wanted to ensure that we were bonded in as many ways as we could so… that's why this is here" I said, pointing to the bite on my neck which was mostly covered by fur. You couldn't even really tell I had it.

"That led to it all didn't it?" Lilly asked, referring to the sex. I nodded.

"Yeah" I said. Lilly sighed, flipping through her book for a moment and then putting it back on the bed flat.

"Sorry for bothering you earlier then. If I woulda known-"

"It's fine. Rick was up anyway and had to go with Humphrey so… yeah" I said. Lilly smiled again. "How is Shaky by the way? What happened?"

"Basically… he started catching feelings for Stephanie, didn't want to betray Angel so he broke off from her, and it is not going lightly on him" Lilly explained. Immediately I felt the urge to call him.

"Oh, maybe I should call him," I said, pulling out my phone.

"He asked to be left alone for a bit. Not like before, he just wants a day or two to think. It's a bummer because I thought I could invite the two of them on our little trip" Lilly smiled, making me feel confused.

"Trip? What trip?" I asked.

"Oh I didn't tell you? About our little Friday the 13th celebration?" Lilly asked. I shook my head. "Alright so the night of graduation. Humphrey and I got done doing our thing, you know. And we end up watching Friday part seven. And you know there's like fifteen different sex scenes in that one so we start going again. Afterwards Humphrey brings up the fact that there's a Friday the 13th around the corner and we'll have to do what we always do and watch the all in a marathon. I told him we always do that though and so I thought of this genius idea for us all to do when it comes up" Lilly explained.

"Oh yeah? What's that?" I smiled.

"So the six of us used to watch all the movies, and that's nice and all but there's so many of them. Plus I want to do something different so why not just do the most Friday the 13th thing possible?" Lilly asked.

"And that is?" I pushed.

"Okay so get this. We rent an RV, maybe a tent or something. Head down to the lake out past the main highway. You know the ones I'm talking about?" Lilly asked. I nodded.

"Yeah, the one down the street from the shopping centers" I said.

"Yeah, so we go down there and just… fuck" Lilly said. I stood stunned for a second and ended up laughing briefly before asking.

"What?" I continued sitting with a smile.

"We fuck each other. Not everyone but just like each couple you know? I think it would be fun and thrilling" Lilly said. I thought for a moment and how hot it would be to do all of that.

"You know Lilly, I might have to take you up on that offer" I said.

"But what about Shaky?" Lilly asked.

"He doesn't have to go but… if he had Stephanie to take then it would be cool. I guess we'll see how he is when we talk to him again. Are they done for good?" I asked.

"I don't know. I think that's what he was thinking about. We'll talk to him" Lilly said. I said and laid down on my stomach as well, making Lilly scoot over to make room for me.

"Sounds like fun. Hey, wanna play some video games or something?" I asked. Lilly giggled and stood up.

"Sure," she said. From that moment on we played and hung out like we used to, until around eleven when our parents were home, and the boys were just coming back. I heard them greet our parents downstairs, and then they're footsteps as they came up. However it was Rick's cute light southern accent that I heard first. Something I always loved hearing and would never get old. The mixture of that and his deep voice always made me feel warm inside. But that wasn't the only thing of his that did that trick.

"Alright Lilly, I guess I'll see ya tomorrow" I said, giving her a kiss on the cheek. I then stood up, walking past Humphrey. "Have fuuuuun" I teased, touching his chin with my thumb and finger. He chuckled and then walked inside, meanwhile I took Rick's hand and led him to my room. I shut the door behind us and then put my hands on his shoulders, pecking his lips. "How did it go?" I asked.

"Fine. we only had to talk about it a little bit, I think mostly I was upset. I don't know how the hell he could forgive me so fast" Rick answered.

"If you were in his shoes you would do the same. I know you would. What did you guys do?" I asked.

"Hung out in the basement, watched some TV, not much. Caught up… it was nice" Rick answered. I smiled and gave his lips another peck.

"I'm glad. Didn't think you would be so late coming home though" I said.

"Will your mom mind?" Rick asked. I shook my head.

"No, maybe a little with Humphrey, but since my mom greeted you guys so well I guess not. It might have something to do with knowing you guys so well. Speaking of which, did Humphrey ever tell you what he and my mom talked about a few weeks back?" I asked.

"Yeah. pretty anti climatic though. She basically just forgave him but was really stern about it" Rick explained. I felt my ears flatten again.

"I still feel really bad about it," I said. Rick took my hand and guided me to the bed, sitting on it which made me sit next to him.

"Don't, it may still linger in your head but try to move past it, act like it never happened. Look forward, you know?" Rick suggested. I nodded as we made eye contact which he broke as he took a look around the room. "Feels really nice in here. That air does wonders" he said. I smiled.

"Yeah, wait till you sleep tonight. It's gonna knock you right out. That on top of everything else?" I said, looking at him again. He looked back with his own smile now.

"What's everything else?" he asked, already knowing the answer. I giggled and scooted over to him, pressing my lips against his and keeping my body close. He exhaled into the kiss as he relaxed and kissed me back. I felt his hands wrap around my body and hold me close, making me exhale now as our saliva mixed. I reached from his cheeks to his shoulders, taking off his jacket and sliding it down his body.

Once he got his arms free he reached around my back and pulled me even closer. Now we were rubbing on each other. Chest to chest as we made out. I then laid him down gently which he went with, keeping his lips locked with mine as I got on top of him, dry humping and feeling myself already grow wet. I moaned into the kiss as I humped and then finally broke it to take my shirt off. With my hair in my face from how messy it still was from earlier, I had to flick my head to move it, bending down again to kiss him once my shirt was off, revealing my breasts to my lover.

"Kate, wait" Rick said, making me stop. I held myself above him, looking down as my long hair tried to reach him. "My shoes," he said. I gave him another peck and then got off of him to slide my shorts down my legs which was all I had to do until I was completely naked. I tossed them across the room as Rick got his shoes off and put them to the side. As he worked on taking off the rest of his clothes I stood up off the bed and walked over to my door to lock it. I then turned to see Rick in the middle of the bed working on taking off his jeans.

I smiled and crawled on the bed again, giving his cheek and ear a long lick which made him smile as he undid his belt. I looked down with my own smile as he began to pull them down, reaching down to grab his junk. He smiled once my soft hand made contact with him and nuzzled against my cheek. I giggled and nuzzled him back with another lick. I then sat back so that he could take them off completely.

He did, along with his underwear and then scooted back up on the bed. I got to my knees and shifted over as he got in the middle of the bed, sitting criss cross. I crawled to him as he pulled me into a hug, and finally our fur met once more. I kissed him again, looking down as I continued to stay on my knees, giving loving kisses. He kissed me back with loving pecks, being very sparing of his tongue. I could feel him begin to grow as we kissed, brushing against the fur on my ass and tail. I moaned and gave his nose a peck before changing my position.

"I can't wait to be yours," Rick said. I brushed his cheek again with a seductive stare.

"Won't be long" I told him. He continued sitting crisscross as I moved my legs around him, practically sitting on his lap face to face, lifting my body up and grabbing his shaft to line it up with me. Once I felt his fleshy tip on my fluffy entrance I began to sink down. I moaned blissfully as I sank all the way down with closed eyes, muzzle up to the ceiling. Rick kept his hand around my back, keeping me close but also preventing me from falling. His hands felt firm and comforting as we stayed close, my breasts pressing against his chest tightly as we panted on each other. Just like that I began to hump him, now keeping my moans down a bit as people were in the house. Even so there was a moment where I grinded on a sweet spot, and moaned loudly, causing Rick to tense.

"Kate!" he whispered. I giggled.

"Sorry" I laughed, giving him another kiss. Our mouths and tongues met again as I began my rhythm once more. He moaned softly as I felt him twitch, making me clench down on him and leak a bit over our legs. While normally I loved the feeling of being made love to in a nice and soft bed, sticking close in the sheets and having my mouth and neck suckled on, this was still nice because of how close we were. The last time we were in a position like this was Valentine's day which seemed so distant now.

My hands stayed on his shoulders, only going to his cheeks as we kissed. However his hands stayed wrapped around my back to prevent me from falling. We had to have been going for about ten minutes, but who knows when you were this into everything. I continued to moan softly as I humped my lover, nuzzling him with my closed eyes and taking in his love. Several times as I rested my muzzle on his shoulder he would kiss at my face, offering wet pecks on the side and all around up to my ear as we had sex. My tail swayed back and forth across the bed as I worked. I expected to feel Rick's tail, but I think he was sitting on it.

I kissed his lips again, getting that sweet taste that gave me my fix. Then there was another tingle that made me clench and squirt a bit, making me exhale as Rick kept his nose on my lips. He looked down as he was lost in pleasure, kissing at me but taking me in whenever he could. But I think that whale was what did it.

"Kate… you have to do it. I'm so close" Rick moaned.

"Okay, okay" I moaned, getting ready to claim him. I moved my muzzle to his neck, licking at it and coating it with my spit to get it ready. As I did however I felt him twitch and throb as he held his load for me, but still I humped downward, trying to give him every curve in there that I had to offer. But it was too much.

"Kate… now, now. Do it now" Rick moaned quickly. I inhaled quickly as I was overtaken by lust, ready to cum myself when I opened my mouth on his neck, and then used my two lower fangs to line up a love bite. While Rick used his upper fangs, I had to use my lower because of our position, but it didn't matter. Whatever made him mine.

I sunk my fangs into him, making him squeeze his eyes shut and grunt loudly. The next thing I felt within me was multiple hot and sticky spurts of his semen shooting deep into me. The pain added to the pleasure as he came again and again, triggering my own orgasm which felt like pressure shooting down as his hot cum shot up. I moaned as I clung to his neck, feeling myself empty again and again, but even so his penis would not let me stay empty for very long, as even after my orgasm was done and over, he was still shooting his final spurts of love.

We sat there panting as his penis throbbed dryly. I then carefully let go of his neck, taking my fangs out as delicately as I could. I licked my lips, getting the taste of blood in my mouth and moaned again, giving him another kiss as we both panted heavily. Still keeping me close Rick laid back, pulling me on top of him gently as we laid in our own afterglow and new puddle on the bed spread.

"You okay?" I asked as I now lay on top of him.

"Yeah… you?" Rick asked.

"Never better" I answered, going back to his neck to lick up any blood so that it didn't leak on the bed. Rick did the same thing when he bit me, I just passed out as he did with him on top of me. We should really do that position again soon. But for now even with my vagina still winking I had my fix. There wasn't a lot of blood, just a bit so I didn't have to get a tissue or anything. It just stopped on its own after about five minutes of my licks.

"So, are we good now? Do you trust that I trust you?" Rick asked. I laughed, wiping my forehead and turning over on the other side of the bed.

"I never doubted you, I just didn't see why you did" I answered. Rick turned over on his side to face me, leaning against his hand.

"Because I love you," Rick replied. I stared at him for a moment, taking in the view, and while I didn't smile I still felt joy.

"I know… I know you do, more than I'll ever know" I said. Rick seemed happy that I still haven't forgotten but why would I? He was everything I could have ever asked for and more. After all was said and done, it wasn't long before we were under the covers, asleep in each other's arms.
