Chapter 17 – Prima Nocta

A/N: Warning, Lemon ahead!

After Dylan had shut, and locked, the bedroom door, he took off the towel and threw it into the clothes basket, leaving him in his boxers. Then he turned to see Zoe standing in the middle of the room wearing a fluffy robe. What worried Dylan was the way she seemed to be staring at the floor.

"Baby?" He asked, his concern showing in his voice.

Zoe looked up at him and gave a slight smile.

He walked up to her and she laid her head against his chest. "Are you okay?" He asked as he drew his arms around her.

"Yes." She whispered. They stood there for several moments before Zoe spoke again. "You love me."

Dylan chuckled "Is that a question or a statement?"

Zoe smiled "A statement."

"I do. Please don't ever question that. I love you Zoe. I don't know what forces conspired to bring me to this universe, but I thank them every day for doing so because I was able to meet you."

"And I love you Dylan." She sniffed deeply around his chest, her paw starting to rub there. She raised her muzzle until she was sniffing his neck. "Thank you for using the body spray, it helps."

"Helps?"

Zoe nodded "I know you want me, and I want you. I'm just a little scared."

"Baby, if you're scared we don't have to do this."

"No, I want you do what you said earlier. I know that you love me, and I know that you don't want to hurt me."

Dylan broke in "I don't ever want to hurt you Baby!"

Zoe pulled back so she could look him in those stormy grey eyes of his. She placed her right paw against his cheek and said "I know, but you won't be able to prevent it. I've never been with another mammal before, and I have an idea of how big you are. I've never seen a canine penis that could match your size."

"And how would you know that?" Zoe laid her head against his chest "Well, I've been through medical school and I'm a resident. I also may have looked at some pictures and videos posted online."

Dylan had to laugh, and the laughter tinged his next words "Zoe Loper, are you trying to tell me that you've watched porn?!"

Zoe smacked his chest lightly "Hey, I was curious, can you blame me?"

Dylan pulled her tight against him "No Love, I don't blame you. And if you don't want to go all the way tonight that's okay."

"I want to do what we agreed. That you do what you want and if I'm uncomfortable with it I let you know."

"I'd forgotten about that."

"I hadn't."

"That would be a good thing then." Dylan said as he reached up and cupped her muzzle. Stormy grey eyes looked deep into sky blue for long moments before he tipped his head down while she raised her muzzle to meet his lips. The kiss went from being chaste to their tongues exploring the other's mouth very quickly. Zoe's arms wrapped around Dylan as his one hand held the back of her head and the other trailed down her back. Her robe had an open area for her tail to come through and his hand found that spot. Her paws began running over his back and, when Dylan slid his hand into the opening to grip her tail, it caused her to pull away from the kiss to gasp.

Dylan waited for her to protest his actions but, when her muzzle crashed back onto his, he continued his loving fondling of her tail area. Dylan felt Zoe's paws move down his back until they reached the waistband of his boxers where they paused briefly before continuing down until they were resting on his cheeks. Dylan wasn't truly thinking by this point. He was moving on instinct and feelings. His need for her eclipsed everything except for his need to make Zoe's first time the absolute best experience he could give her.

He reached between them and untied the belt holding her robe closed before bringing his hands up to her shoulders, grabbing a handful of robe in each hand, and pulling it down until it was at her waist, trapping her arms in the sleeves causing her to gasp and moan his name. Holding the robe closed with one hand, he reached back around and found her tail again.

Zoe was trembling with desire. She was actually panting with the need to be mated to Dylan. When he did the trick with her robe, pinning her arms and preventing her from touching him, her lust spiked. And when he started caressing her tail again, she started kissing and licking his neck, causing him to moan. Hearing him make those noises made her yearn even more to be mated to this mammal. It was considered crass to lick but Zoe didn't care. Her craving for Dylan had overridden anything as complex as social conventions.

Dylan realized he could smell her arousal and it was driving him mad with lust. He released the grip on her robe, letting it fall to the floor.

"I want to see you!" He gasped. He stepped back and Zoe whimpered at the loss of contact. Dylan gazed upon Zoe as she stood there in a sheer black chemise. As designed, it hid absolutely nothing. Dylan could see every part of her, from her small breasts to the juncture of her thighs. He was already hard, but this made his erection almost painful. He looked up into Zoe's eyes to see her looking him over as well. He could see her eyes widen when she looked down but the only thing Dylan could see in her eyes was love and desire.

Dylan stepped forward and gently stroked the fur on her cheek with both hands. She closed her eyes and leaned into his touch. Her paws slid back until they once again rested on his firm rear end. He slid his hands slowly down her shoulders until they met the shoulder straps. They looked into each other's eyes as he moved the straps over and down her arms until that too fell to the floor, leaving Zoe completely naked. Dylan placed his hands over Zoe's paws and dragged them up until they were on the waistband of his boxers. Zoe slipped her thumbs in and pulled his boxers down. With Dylan's help, they were soon next to her chemise.

A little afraid, but unable to stop herself, Zoe looked down between their bodies and saw Dylan's size with nothing in her way. She gasped and felt equal measures of trepidation and want. Dylan distracted Zoe by once again forcing his mouth on hers and, holding her with one hand and eased the other down her stomach and between her legs. Zoe began stroking Dylan's arms and sides, her paws unable to stay still. Feeling Dylan searching for her center, Zoe put her right foot a little more to the right allowing him easier access.

Dylan could feel how aroused she was, the entire area was soaked including the fur on her thighs. He stroked her lower lips with his fingertip and felt her shudder, moving her right leg even further apart. Once his fingers were well lubed, he slipped one slowly inside of her and was rewarded with gasps and, surprisingly, mewling sounds from Zoe. She began panting out words, most of which Dylan could vaguely make out: "Gods!", "Love", "oh!", "mmmm", "There!". Dylan felt Zoe press her head hard against his chest and her thighs squeezed together as she let out a staccato of "oh's!". Dylan felt a flush of hot liquid cover his hand and knew that he'd given her the first of many orgasms he had planned for tonight.

Holding her to him with one hand, he covered her butt cheek with the other and picked her up, her legs automatically wrapping around his waist. Dylan could feel himself rubbing against the base of her tail as he carried Zoe over to the bed and laid her in it. He climbed in between her thighs and began to kiss and nip at her neck, causing Zoe to writhe underneath him. Dylan supported himself with one hand as he used the other to begin caressing her breasts. He continued to use his hands on her body as he kissed his way down to between her thighs. Using his hands and mouth to the best of his ability, he pleasured Zoe until she had found her peak numerous times.

When Zoe was still panting after her latest climax, Dylan climbed up her body, kissing her as he went. Looking into Zoe's near exhausted eyes, he used one hand to grab her leg and place it over his shoulder before repeating it with the other. Zoe gripped his forearms with her paws. Still looking into her half lidded eyes, Dylan asked "Are you sure Love?" Zoe squeezed his forearms with her paws and gasped out "Mate me!"

Dylan began to slowly, gently, force himself into her, plastering her with kisses all over her head and neck. He stopped at every whimper or groan, waiting for her to tell him to stop. She never did. She yelped loudly when he breached her and he paused once more. Zoe kissed him as she pulled his arms toward her, signaling him to continue.

Eventually Dylan was in Zoe as far as he could go. There he rested for several minutes to give Zoe a chance to adjust before slowly moving in her. Dylan and Zoe continued making love and he lost count of the number of orgasms he gave her. She would cry out his name loudly with each one, neither of them caring if their roommates could hear them or not.

Dylan had been using every ounce of his willpower and discipline but, finally, he couldn't hold back anymore. When he gave Zoe one last orgasm, he found his release deep inside her. Gasping for breath, Dylan released Zoe's legs and gently lowered his sweaty body onto the bed next to her, taking care not to jostle her. When he was on his side facing her, he pulled her close to him.

Zoe tried scooting closer to Dylan, wanting to snuggle into his side even though it caused her pain down there. "Ow!" she exclaimed. Instantly, Dylan was alert. "What's wrong?!"

Zoe smiled. "Nothing. I'm just sore down there."

"I'm sorry" he said sadly.

Zoe stroked the arm that was holding her "Don't you ever be sorry my Mate. I wanted this just as much as you did. I'm just sad that we can't go again. I never knew it could be so good."

Then Zoe remembered something. "Remember when you picked me up and put me in the bed?"

"Vaguely." Dylan began stroking Zoe's fur on her back.

"I wrapped my legs around you and you were rubbing against my tail." Zoe began to trail her fingers through Dylan's chest fur. Dylan was drenched in what she recognized as sweat. Zoe had always thought that it was kind of gross, but the smell from Dylan comforted her and she wondered what it would be like to lick it off of him.

"Somewhat. I'm sorry, I was just so filled with need to have you and make sure I gave you as much pleasure as I could that some things just slipped by me."

"Mmmm, that's true. I've never made myself feel as good as you've done."

Dylan smiled "I'm glad Love. I just wanted to make you feel good."

Zoe smiled as well. "You've certainly done that my Mate."

Dylan gasped as it finally hit him "Yeah, that's right! We're mates now!"

Zoe giggled "You know, for being a genius, you're downright oblivious sometimes!"

"Unfortunately, you are correct... my Mate." Dylan calling her his mate almost made her forget her original thought as she grinned and a feeling of elation infused her body. It was almost as wonderful a feeling as the rapture that ran through her in intense waves earlier.

"Anyway, back to my original question. You remember rubbing against my tail, but I could feel you rubbing against something else as well." Zoe watched Dylan as he puzzled through what she meant. It didn't take long before she saw in his face that he understood what she was talking about.

"I was prodding you... there?"

"Mm hmm." She nodded.

"I'm sorry."

Zoe smacked him on the arm. "I told you to stop saying you're sorry! I just wasn't sure if it was accidental or on purpose." She looked at him with a questioning expression.

"Uh, accidental Love."

"Oh."

Dylan couldn't see her face, but she sounded... disappointed. "Are you disappointed Love?"

"Yeah. Some, a little, I don't know. From what I've heard, a lot of mammals enjoy that. Amanda raves about it all the time."

"Okay, TMI on the Amanda knowledge. Just to be clear, you're wanting to try anal?"

"Yes?" Zoe squeaked out.

"Mate, it can be very painful if it isn't done right. If you want to try though, we can, I've done that before with a couple of my previous girlfriends."

"Fabienne?" She asked with a flare of jealousy, her paw stopping her caresses on his chest.

"No. Fabienne and I barely kissed."

Zoe felt remarkably better at that revelation, her paw starting to draw circles in his chest fur again. "I was just offering because I'm not sure when I'll be ready for more like earlier. I'm very sore."

"Zoe, my one true love, I would love to do anal with you as long as you want it. But there are other things we can do as well and I look forward to doing them with you. As for the soreness, it probably means you're tender. I'll run you a warm bath and let you soak for a bit while I change the sheets."

Zoe nodded. The mention of bed sheets brought her attention that, in addition to the smell of sex, she could also smell blood. Her blood. "Can't we just lay here for a little while? I'm in no hurry to move."

Dylan grinned "I wasn't planning on going anywhere right now. I just don't want either one of us to have to sleep in the wet spot. And I'm sure that our juices are leaking into your fur. If that isn't taken care of it'll harden making more difficult to clean off."

"Dylan? What does TMI mean?" Zoe asked just prior to a huge yawn.

Cracking his eyes half open Dylan replied "Too Much Information Love." Whereupon he yawned as well. Yawns being addictive. Even with Dylan's stated intention, the two lovers passed out from their labors and slept until mid-afternoon.

oooOOOooo

Nick had been correct, it had been a long night, and a long morning as well. Exhausted, they'd finally finished checking the entire area for escapees just before lunch. Chief Bogo had them all stand down and sent all odd numbered units home for four hours sleep before having them come back and relieve all the even numbered units for the same. This meant that Nick and Judy had to stay on call for another four hours. Judy was acting like she didn't need sleep, but Nick was barely able to keep his eyes open. Finally, Judy just told Nick to nap in the cruiser while she listened to the radio. It was fortunate that their mini shift was quiet.

Just as they were to be relieved Chief Bogo gave an update on the prison break. Of the 53 mammals that had escaped, they had recaptured 22 with 31 still at large. 24 of those were members of the Happy Slayer gang. Of the seven remaining felons who had escaped, only one was considered dangerous to the public - Dwayne Oscar Loper AKA 'Shadow Hunter'.

Wide eyed in shock, Judy whispered "Crackers." Frantically, Judy shook Nick awake.

"Hmph. Wah ist?" Nick mumbled.

"Nick! Wake up! Bogo just gave a brief over the radio. There's still 31 mammals on the loose. 24 of those are the Happy Slayer's gang!" Nick's eyes widened and he sat up straighter in his seat. He still wasn't completely awake yet, but he could process what Judy was telling him.

"And that's not all Nick! Out of the seven left, one is considered dangerous to the public. Nick, his name is Dwayne Oscar Loper!"

Nick jerked his gaze to her and asked "You don't think...?"

Judy shook her head "I don't know but we should check it out."

As soon as they were relieved, Nick navigated them to the Nocturnal Ranges while he looked up the address of the Loper's on their police computer. The house was beautiful without being ostentatious and impressed them both.

They rang the doorbell and waited. The door was answered by a young she wolf wearing blue jean shorts and a pink tank top that, when she saw who was at the door, went total fangirl on them.

"Eeeeeeeeeee!" She squealed. "Mom! Dad! You'll never guess who's here! It's the Wildes! Hi! I'm Tara! C'mon in! Mom! Dad! The Wildes are here! Hey! Could I get your autograph? I tried to get Dylan's but he said he wasn't famous. AS IF! And he's even sexy too! Hey, you're cute for a fox. Wait til I tell my friends that I got to meet the Wildes!"

Nick and Judy were struggling to follow the frantic pace of Tara's speech when two older wolves, one male and one female walked into the room, both of whom were dressed elegantly. The male was in a rather nice suit while the female was wearing a pale green off the shoulder dress.

"Tara," The lady said softly "Leave the poor mammals alone. I'm sure that the Wilde's are here on business given the way they're dressed."

After she spoke the male introduced himself "Hello Mr. and Mrs. Wilde. Or, should I say Officers Wilde? I'm Robert Loper, and this is my beautiful wife Cynthia."

Nick smiled "Officers Wilde will do Sir."

"Ah" Cynthia said "then this is an official visit. Pity. Zoe said that you were friends with her." Her eyes suddenly flashed open in fear as she gasped out "Zoe and Dylan are okay aren't they? They haven't been in an accident or anything?"

Judy put her paws up in a placating manner and said "No ma'am! As far as we're aware they're perfectly okay."

Giving out a great sigh of relief, Cynthia quickly regained control of herself. "Thank you. Would you care to come into the sitting room? Would you care for some tea?"

"We just needed to ask some questions." Nick responded.

Judy continued "Are you both aware of the prison break last night?"

"Dylan told us just before he and Zoe left. Were you able to re-capture them all?" Robert asked, concern tinting his question.

"Not all of them unfortunately, that's why we're here. Most of the Happy Slayers, the gang that Dylan rescued Zoe from, escaped. They and seven other mammals are still at large. It's in reference to the seven that we're here." Judy remarked.

Nick picked up the narrative from there. "Among the seven was one that has been deemed a danger to the public, Dwayne Oscar Loper. We're here to see if there is any relation."

Judy had been watching the Loper's while Nick spoke. She watched their faces fall at the mention of the mammal and she saw Cynthia lean into Robert's side with her head on his shoulder. That's when she knew that her suspicions were correct.

Robert gave a heavy sigh and said "Dwayne is our oldest."

"He was born eight minutes before Arthur." Cynthia interjected.

"We don't know where we went wrong with him." Robert continued. "He seemed fine until he went to college. He dropped out for reasons he wouldn't tell us about. Later, we found out he'd been arrested several times for violent crimes against other mammals." Robert tried to continue but his emotions were getting to him.

Cynthia finished "We were told that he had started killing other mammals for money. We disowned him but we still felt like we'd failed him somehow."

Judy's heart went out to them. "I don't see how you could have failed him. Zoe seems such a sweet girl."

Robert, still a little choked up, asked "If... sorry, I mean when you re-capture him, could you please tell him that we're sorry?"

"If we can we will Mr. Loper. But personally, we don't see that you have anything to be sorry about." Nick said sympathetically.

"Do you have children Officer Wilde?" Cynthia asked. Nick looked at Judy who looked back at Nick sadly. They knew that she couldn't get pregnant by Nick, their species being too different. And that was the only negative thing in their relationship. "Not yet Mrs. Loper."

Cynthia nodded lamentably "When you do, you'll understand."

They were quiet on the drive home, each alone with their own, yet similar, thoughts. The trip was only broken when the police radio stated that they were standing down from the emergency procedures and that they were to report for their normal shift tomorrow morning.

Later, as they lay in bed, cuddling together for comfort, their emotions so overwhelming that they felt no desire to finish what the prison break had interrupted, they talked. It crushed Judy that she couldn't bear Nick's kits, but she still wanted children. After discussing their options, they decided that they would adopt in the near future.

oooOOOooo

"You called for me Sir?" Stan asked. He watched The Boss closely. While he seemed to be in a good mood, Stan knew how volatile his temper was.

"Absolutely my trusted Lieutenant. The time is almost at paw. I want you to notify all the gang leaders to be on alert, ready to move at my signal. Also, go to Cutter and give him the information that you found out. Tell him it's time to remove the thorn in his paw. Now, Go! And may Nemesis bless our efforts." The Boss began to cackle as Stan turned to leave.

The dissonant sound sent shivers down Stans spine as he, not for the first time, wondered if he had somehow made a mistake in choosing to work for The Boss.
