Chapter 34 - Contact
Dan felt the tingle run through his body as he entered the Conference Room, that sacred place where the high priests and priestesses met to conduct business. The first time he'd entered the room, it was with a bit of excitement as well. But he'd found that, while the mammals representing their deity were powerful, they were also politicians.
Dan would watch the mammals and could see which mammals would support which one or vote for which motion. Even though he was a Priest of Melinoe and knew all of the rituals required, he just never felt the urge to do so. First being Father's, then Mother's, aide is where he felt he best served Mother and their goddess.
However, today would be different. After several months, Mother had made contact. In a highly unusual and, admittedly mystic, way but contact nonetheless. And, for the first time other than to vote, he would be addressing the Council. Dan didn't let his amusement show, thinking how this was going to be received by Eric, the High Priest of Zues.
Dan had pegged Eric as both arrogant and egotistical right from the beginning when he'd argued about Dan being Mother's chosen representative. Baron had stood up and objected to Eric's statement, mentioning the precedents that had occurred over the years. This was seconded by Lykos, the High Priest of Themis. It was only after Lykos spoke up that Eric grudgingly withdrew his complaint.
That didn't stop Eric from attempting to have Mother's title of High Priestess stripped from her, which caused an uproar amongst the entire assembly. No one from any order was allowed to interfere in the operation of a different order, not even the High Priest of Zeus. Dan was rather pleased that he was going to be able to spoke Eric's wheel today.
"You seemed rather pleased with yourself Dan." Stated Tanya, the High Priestess of Hebe.
"Oh, that I am My Lady." Dan responded with a genuine smile. He rather liked most of the mammals that led their orders. The only one he didn't really care for was Eric. Tanya had tried to get Dan to call her by name many times since Mother had left on her quest, but he felt rather uncomfortable being so familiar with one of such high status. But he was rather fond of the mouse, glad that her and Mother were such good friends.
Tanya was amused by Dan calling her 'My Lady'. He was a genuinely interesting mammal and she considered Zoe to be very lucky to have him and his expertise on her side.
Helen, the High Priestess of Hermes, stood and called the council to order before sitting down on her ornate throne at the front of the room. Of Course, Eric immediately stood up.
"It has now been over two months since the High Priestess of Melinoe disappeared. I move that she be declared dead so that a new High Priest or Priestess may be chosen to lead the Order of Melinoe." He stated firmly, a very confident look on his muzzle.
There was silence in the room for several seconds before everyone erupted in a cacophony of noise, some yelling about Eric overstepping again, to private conversations whispered in their neighbors' ears.
"There he goes again. I swear that mammal never learns." Tanya said to Dan.
Dan just smiled as he stood and waited to be recognized. Meanwhile, Eric was loudly stating his reason for assuming her death being the lack of communication from Zoe.
Zeke, the High Priest of Apollo, stood and waited for the rest of the room to quiet down a bit before speaking. "Brother, you assume that when Zoe left on her quest that it would be a simple hike in the woods and then back within a day or two. She is on a quest, as recorded in Prophecy, and directed to do so by the gods themselves. There is nothing simple about that!"
When he'd finished speaking, Baron, the High Priest of Hades, stood. "I agree Brother! And it is known to me through Lord Hades, that Zoe is still alive as her spirit has not entered into the underworld as of yet."
"Then she could have been captured, never to return. In this case, my original request remains the same!" Eric soundly declared.
"Brother." Dan heard a soft voice speak off to his right. While soft, it still seemed to carry throughout the room. Looking over, Dan saw the High Priestess of Hecate in her blood red robe with a black over mantle. He'd noticed her the first time he entered the Council Chamber, but she would always leave immediately after the meeting, other mammals moving out of the way, allowing her a swift exit. She was a prime example of a healthy female hippopotamus, and he was properly appreciative, him being a healthy male hippo. "The representative of Melinoe has stood and is waiting for recognition."
Eric looked reluctant but had to concede to her declaration. "Very well, speak Dan, Priest of Melinoe."
Dan nodded his head to her and said, "Thank you My Lady."
Then he turned to face the front. "I can attest that Mother is well, due to an incident that happened the evening before last. I have a sworn statement from Abigail Hopps, Acolyte of Eileithyia, in which she describes Mother's eldest daughter, Faith, seeing Mother's astral form. Fearing that she was dead, Abigail queried Mother who caused frost to appear on a mirror in the room and write 'We're okay, love y'all'. Mother is alive and well."
"Impossible! A sworn statement from a mere acolyte, and a wife of Zoe Hopps? I taste a conspiracy!" Eric shouted.
Angry voices began yelling at Eric, especially from Marie, the High Priestess of Eileithyia. To accuse a member of an order, no matter how low, of forswearing themselves was despicable and the Council was letting Eric know it.
Dan raised his hooves in the air and waited for the council to calm down. "My Lords and Ladies, I can understand the doubts that some mammals may have in regard to Mother and her quest. I would move that we agree that any decision regarding the future of our order be placed on hold for now. After all, " Dan then looked directly at Eric, "making assumptions or rash decisions could come back to haunt an individual."
Quite a few of the assembled heads of the various orders were then reminded that Melinoe, being the goddess of ghosts, had been known to send spirits to mortals that offended her, haunting them until they went mad.
Macon, another hippo and the High Priest of Poseidon, stood. "I move that we accept the sworn statement of Abigail Hopps as true for now and adjourn this meeting."
Wendy, a white-tailed deer and High Priestess of Hera, stood and said, "Seconded!"
Eric, looking like he'd just chewed and swallowed a lemon, growled and angrily strode off the dais.
"That was well done Dan." Tanya told him.
Dan bowed to her and said, "Thank you My Lady."
"Yes, very well played Dan, Priest of Melinoe." That soft voice said right behind him.
Turning, Dan saw that it was the High Priestess of Hecate not more than five feet from where he stood. He bowed low to her and, as he straightened, replied, "Thank you as well My Lady, especially for your help earlier."
"It was the right thing to do. I truly enjoyed it when you put Eric in his place by giving him a not-so-subtle reminder of the power of your goddess."
"I don't wish to speak ill of any High Priest or Priestess, so I'll just say that I wonder what Zeus thinks of his representative."
The High Priestess of Hecate smiled at him and said, "I think I rather like you Dan. My name is Amunet. We will be having lunch tomorrow. Pick me up at noon." Then she turned and walked out of the chamber.
Dan stood there, staring as she left, completely stunned. He didn't hear Tanya softly laughing to herself, having watched the entire by-play.
oooOOOooo
Please Lady, watch over Zoe and keep her safe and bring her back to us soon. Wendy prayed as she knelt at the feet of the statue of Melinoe. Wendy loved Zoe more than just as Mother, it was like Zoe was that little sister that was more mature than her age that you could just talk to. Their time together, just sitting and drinking tea were some of Wendy's best memories and she would recall them whenever she was feeling down, which was happening more and more often.
"Excuse please." She heard from the front of the temple, the voice deep and with a distinct accent. Wendy stood and turned, her jaw dropping as she saw who was standing there. The dancer for Gazelle that she had such a crush on, holding a bouquet of tulips, her favorite flower, in one paw and a letter in the other.
"C… can I help you?" Wendy stuttered, in shock from seeing him in the flesh. Wendy could see how well defined his muscles were under his fur even better than on TV.
"Da! Please! Am seeking Wendy."
Wendy was stunned! Her heart started beating fast and she was almost panting. How was he here looking specifically for her? "I… I'm Wendy."
The tiger grinned and handed the flowers to her, which she took reflexively. "Is good. Have been on tour for Gazelle, just got letter. Zoe Hopps say she have friend that like Dmitrei and want meet. Dmitrei come."
Wendy started blushing. She was at a loss of what to do or say next. Evidently, Dmitrei noticed and decided to take action. "Have lunch? Talk?"
Wendy still couldn't get her voice to work, so she just smiled and nodded. Dmitrei grinned and held out his paw. Wendy placed her paw in his and he led her out of the Hall and helped her into his car.
oooOOOooo
It was a huge undertaking. Almost everyone in the different villages were wanting to go, but Zoe had to convince them to limit the number of people. It was easier than Zoe thought it would be by simply stating that a large group of mammals were more likely to attract the attention of a Predburg patrol than a smaller group. Especially if they were to move at night and hide during the day as had been agreed.
Zoe's argument that they were less likely to attract attention at night, even if the patrols of Predburg used mammals that had great night sight, they were still less likely to be patrolling.
The hierarchy of Sanctuary was a little different than in Zootopia. Zoe, herself, was High Priestess of Melinoe, and had priests and acolytes under her. In Sanctuary, the term 'Priest' was actually equivalent to High Priest, and under-priests were priests. So, Zoe was able to limit the group to just Priests, with just a few under-priests of Hermes to act as scouts. They would range ahead and warn of patrols, find safe areas to sleep during the day, and find forage for the herbivores amongst the group. That would leave the rest of the group to carry supplies, including jerky made from the different fowl that resided in Sanctuary.
The length of time that it was taking to gather everything and get ready to go weighed heavily on Zoe. She tried to use the time wisely by meditating to get a better grip on her powers. Recharging her astral energy was a slow process, having used so much of it to affect the prime material plane. On the bright side, she was now able to focus her spiritual chill effect to a single target at will.
Gabriel was a changed mammal as well, being much more conscientious of her needs. He'd massage her feet and back, constantly ask if she wanted anything to drink or eat, being very gentle with her when they made love. Zoe didn't mind the first couple of things, but the last got old really fast. It was when she finally broke down and grabbed his ears, pulled him nose to nose, and told him that if he didn't take her hard, she was going to take matters into her own paws. The morning after that saw a very satisfied and sated High Priestess of Melinoe, even if he refused to knot her. To which she had to agree, if only for the safety of their cubs.
Zoe and Gabriel were very busy helping to get everything organized. Gabriel was a big help with this due to his experiences in the Junior Ranger Scouts. The use of tents was discussed and then rejected as too much weight that could otherwise be used for food. Blanket rolls were deemed good enough when Zoe and Gabriel explained the balmy weather that existed at the base of the other side of the mountain. It was also decided that not all of the priests would be going, such as the priests and priestesses of Demeter, Hestia, Hebe, and Eileithyia. They would stay as their domains didn't really have anything to contribute to the mission and would be more effective by remaining in Sanctuary.
With everything else that was going on, it was understandable that over a week went by before Zoe checked on her unborn cubs to see how they were doing. When she finally did, she noticed a faint pink glow around each of her daughters. She wasn't exactly sure what that meant, but she'd just have to wait and see. She also decided to not inform Gabriel about it until she knew for certain.
oooOOOooo
It took longer than Zoe expected, but in little over a month everyone was ready to leave. They'd pretty much decimated the fowl population of Sanctuary in the process of making so much jerky, as well as the fish in the lake, the smell of baked fish lingering across the entire valley. As Zoe was tightly packing her backpack, there was a knock on her hut door. Answering, she saw Sigrid standing there.
"Good eve Sigrid." Zoe greeted the doe politely.
"Good eve to you Zoe." Sigrid responded with a smile. "I have something for you."
Sigrid then handed a small, glass bottle with a stopper in the top to Zoe, who automatically took the offered item. It was about the size of a normal water bottle but filled with a light green liquid.
"Uh, thanks?" Zoe offered, unsure of what it was she had in her paws.
Sigrid smiled. "It's an inhibitor. It will suppress your libido while you are travelling. I know how rabbits get and, with the territory you'll be going through, I doubt that it will be advisable to give in to your urges. It won't stop them, but you'll be able to control them to a greater extent than normal. It won't hurt your cubs, don't fear."
Zoe heaved a sigh of relief, that had been one of her worries, especially as she tended to be very vocal during sex. "Apollo bless your foresight Sigrid, I had been worried about that very thing!"
Sigrid's smile grew into a grin. "Just a few sips every night should be enough. Two more sips if you feel that such is needed, but no more than that!"
Zoe moved forward and hugged Sigrid around one of her large legs. One less thing to worry about.

The group stopped at the entrance to the tunnel and readied lanterns. Zoe could have led one or two through the darkness of the tunnel to the end, but not all of them. As prepared as they could be, they entered and began their journey.
The trip only lasted three days, but for many of the mammals it was a very long three days being unaccustomed to being underground. Zoe could tell is was approaching noon on the third day when they came upon the end of the tunnel, the surface of which still showed the marks from the pickaxes used.
"What now Priestess?" Elric asked.
Zoe was quiet for a moment before placing her paw on the tunnel wall, closing her eyes, and saying. "Gaea, Earth Mother, in fulfillment of the Prophesy, I ask that our way be cleared."
For a few moments, nothing seemed to to be happening. Then, to the astonishment of the entire group, including Gabriel, who thought that Zoe couldn't do anything else to surprise him, the end of the tunnel started to crack. It started small at first, a single small, jagged, crack about two inches long. Then more began to spring out from the first until it looked like the roots of a plant.
Zoe stepped back several paces, the group doing the same, as the pieces started to fall onto the floor of the tunnel. Stones ranging from the size of Zoe's paw to the size of her skull started raining down in a cascade. Within a few minutes, the group started to see light through the cracks and smiles began to sprout on their muzzles. Gabriel just shook his head, amused. Nothing his doe did any more surprised him. Zoe led the way down the tunnel, and it wasn't long before the other mammals could see light ahead.
oooOOOoooo
Judy stood looking at the map of Zootopia and the various colored pins that were stuck in them. Red for all attacks where the victim died, green for where the victim survived and the Afflicted were captured, blue for sightings of the Afflicted, and orange where both the victim and the Afflicted had died.
"Carrots, you've been staring at that map for hours. What's going on in that beautiful brain of yours?" Judy heard her husband's voice behind her. Normally Nick would wrap his arms around her, but they were both still in uniform and in the room in headquarters devoted to the current case, which was straining the resources of the department and the city.
"There's something we're missing Nick, it's there and I just can't see it." Judy said intensely.
"What's there?" Nick asked, worried for his wife.
Neither of them had much time for sleep pulling twelve-hour shifts, much less alone time. If they did have time, the stress from the case or their worry for their wife and future husband would interfere. If it wasn't the first two, it was them missing Abby and their children.
"The motive. Why is this happening? What does the perp get out of turning innocent mammals into cannibal killers?"
"Anarchy?"
"No. It seems too well planned for that."
"Too bad our Zoe isn't here. She'd probably be able to track them down within a week and we could go back to being a family again."
Something that Nick said seemed to strike a chord in Judy, and it had to do with Zoe. Thinking about her wife made Judy both happy and sad. While she missed her wife something awful, the times they had together were the best times of her life. Judy loved to remember how it was before they got married and she had to leave to come to Zootopia.
The last time they were at their spot by the lake, lying naked on the grass on the shore. Judy's butthole was hurting because she had commanded Zoe to use the harness on her back entrance. To say that Judy got carried away was an understatement. In the throes of passion, she ordered her doe to pound into her with the, rather large, buck shaped penis and Zoe complied with zeal.
Afterwards, as they lay there looking at the various clouds and talking about their future careers, Zoe had told her about the various multitude of movies and TV shows that featured law enforcement. She'd mentioned something about a class of law enforcement officer called a D'tektive.
Judy's eyes seemed to light up from the sudden idea she had. Quickly she dashed to her desk and started furiously tapping away at her computer.
Startled, Nick asked after her, "Judes? You okay?"
"Have an idea!" Judy said tensely as she kept hammering away at the keyboard.
Nick just shrugged, his bunny was an amazing mammal, and very dedicated. He smiled as he imagined that, someday, she would be the chief.

Abby was throwing herself into her work, her training, and her schooling. Being a nurse in the burrow wasn't taxing, but there were a lot of her family, and it was a farm, so accidents were normal. She was also working for Tobias, the local priest of Eileithyia, at the Tri-Burrows hospital as she learned what it meant to be a priestess of her goddess, as well as helping her with her lessons on becoming and MD.
And in the middle of all that, she was spending as much time with their kits as possible, showing them many pictures of Zoe, trying to make sure they understood that she was their mommy also, but she just couldn't be here. She would tell them about her and how important it was what she was doing. She also tried to make them understand how much Zoe missed them and loved them. Faith was the easiest as she would tell her brothers and sisters how mommy could fly and how she had felt mommy's love for them all.
Several times a week, Abby would join Candace and her mom in their bed to enjoy the cuddles with family. Occasionally, Candace would help Abby destress by taking her to bed and having her way with her. Abby was always a lot more relaxed after one of those hours' long sessions with her sister-in-law.

"That's the third one we've seen today." Gabriel states as they hid in a copse of trees and bushes about thirty yards from the roadside, the emblem of a wolf's head with bloody drool on the side of the open aired car, similar to the military jeeps from World War Two shows and movies that Zoe's human dad would watch sometimes. The first time Zoe saw the emblem, she said it looked like a dying rabid wolf.
Both of them speculated about the lack of the same emblem on the steam engine car they had hijacked after killing the jaguars at the Owen's farm. The consensus they came to was that they had to be mercenaries, hired guns to handle the minor needs the kingdom had, leaving the regular military to handle the more important issues.
"Yeah, they're getting more frequent. We'll have to be more careful from now on." Zoe stated, not happy that this was going to slow them down. Zoe missed her wives and husband, but she missed their kits with an ache that went soul deep. It used to be that such emotions would leave her an emotional wreck, bawling her eyes out into Gabriel's chest, but her meditations to help her control her abilities had a side effect. She could filter her emotions, analyzing them and dealing with them a lot more effectively. She could still feel them, but they couldn't cloud her judgement anymore.
Zoe took another sip from her bottle. She remembered the first time that Gabriel had caught her doing so, not that she was trying to hide anything from him.
***Flashback***
Zoe could feel her libido starting to flare up again, so she reached into her pack for the bottle of inhibitor she'd been given and took a sip. She felt the liquid slide down her throat easily and then hit her stomach. From there, she felt the warmth spread through her body. She sighed as the muscles in her shoulders loosened and the stress there dissipated.
"Baby?" Gabriels's voice sounded behind her and off to the side. "Are you okay? I can smell that whatever you're drinking isn't water."
Zoe turned to look at her fiancé. "It's a libido inhibitor Love. It helps me in controlling my sex drive."
"Why would you do that?" Gabriel said sounding hurt.
Zoe put the bottle back and walked up to Gabriel. Reaching him, she wrapped her arms around him the best she could and explained. "I didn't think that we'd be able to go off into the woods together away from the group to have sex. Given how vocal I am, even with the gag you made, they would probably still hear us. Plus, I didn't think it would be a good idea to be knotted in case a patrol stubbled on us."
Gabriel hugged her against him, mindful of their cubs. "I thought that the stress of our situation was putting you off of having sex with me." He admitted.
"Never Love. The feeling is still there, but I can control it. I want to have sex with you My Heart, I want you to pound me into the dirt, but it may be a while before we can do that. The elixer just takes the edge off. It would probably work better if my wives and I didn't have an above average libido for rabbits. Are you ready to handle one horny fox and three very horny rabbits?"
Gabriel smiled. "Always my pet. Are our cubs okay? I know you wouldn't take anything that would harm them, but I'm worried, I've never been a father before."
Zoe kissed his abdomen, feeling the muscles there and making the inhibitor work overtime. "It won't, and they're doing good. But I have to tell you something."
"You're making me worried Baby." Gabriel told her pensively.
"Nothing to be worried about. I've been keeping my astral eye on them, and it seems that Eileithyia has either stopped, or greatly slowed their growth."
Now Gabriel was confused. "Why would she do that?" He asked.
Zoe had to smile and shake her head a little. Gabriel was a smart mammal, but he was still male and new to fatherhood, so she could give him a freebie. "We're heading deep into enemy territory Love. Walking around looking like I had swallowed a beach ball would make things infinitely more dangerous. I'm sure that, when the time comes, they'll start growing at a normal rate."
Gabriel relaxed. "If you say so Priestesses of My Heart, then I will believe you."
Zoe then ran the claw of her pointer finger up and then down his abs, then looked up at him and said. "If you're feeling pent up, I could help with that. I've been missing some protein in my diet lately."
Zoe heard his heartbeat and his breath quicken at her statement, as well as feel the results begin to grow under her breasts.
"You'd be willing to do that for me? What about for you?"
"You know I'd do anything for you Love. The inhibitor will work for me right now, but when we're safe, you'd better be ready for an over-sexed bunny attack. But, until then, you need to grab the base of my ears when you deepthroat me. I want your knot smashing into my muzzle my well-hung coyote."
The growl of lust from Gabriel was all the assent she needed, and he led her a bit further away from the group before leaning his back against a convenient tree and dropping his pants, grabbing Zoe's ears just above her head, and then pulling her face to his now raging hardon.
Feeling Zoe's hot and willing mouth on him after so long made Gabriel grunt and pull on her ears harder than he'd wanted to do, but Zoe didn't complain. Pulling harder, he felt his cock slip into her throat, and he didn't relent until her lips were pressing against his knot. He knew he wasn't going to be able to last very long as he began to fuck her muzzle, causing her to make glomping sounds.
Zoe loved it when Gabriel took control. Pulling on her sensitive ears was a turn on for her and it was testing the limits of the inhibitor she'd just drank. As Gabriels penis entered her mouth, she knew she was going to have to drink some more after they were done.
Zoe felt herself growing wet, and when Gabriel pulled on her ears hard, forcing his cock deep into her and down her throat, the state of her sex was a forgone conclusion. She was going to have to clean up before heading back to their camp.
Gabriels low growl sounded almost continuously as he began to pump in and out of her throat, almost giving her no chance to breathe. 'Gleck' 'Gak' and other sounds came from her mouth as his penis slide in and out of her at an ever-faster pace. She could feel him getting close, so she reached up with her one paw and started lightly massaging his sack.
A perverted thought ran through her as she slipped her other paw between her thighs and into her wetness. Being effectively gagged, she fingered herself and, when she slid her thumb over her nerve laden bundle, came. When she came back to herself, she raised her soaked paw up to between Gabriels's ass cheeks, seeking her target.
Gabriel was lost in the feeling of being in Zoe's mouth, his eyes closed and his head back against the tree. He was getting very close now when he felt Zoe's paw push its way between his ass cheeks. His brain wasn't working too well at that point in time, but he quickly realized what she intended when he felt her well lubricated fingers swirl around his asshole.
Gabriel couldn't think in words at this point, he only had the concept of 'she wouldn't'. But evidently, she would as he felt her finger shove it's way inside. That was the final straw as he growled and pulled Zoe's ears hard, forcing her lips and nose into his knot with almost bruising force and began to pump his seed into her accompanied by his grunts as he came.
Zoe couldn't smirk or smile when she pushed her finger into Gabriels's rear passage, her mouth was too stretched for that to happen, but she could mentally, and she did. She'd no sooner pushed her finger in as far as it could go when Gabriel grunted and pulled on her ears harder than ever before, smashing her nose and lips into his knot as she felt his cock twitch, sending ropes of semen down her throat. Gabriels's ass cheeks clenched as he began to cum, trapping her paw there with her finger still inside of him.
Zoe swallowed everything he gave her, sucking lightly, using her tongue the best she could. He must have been a bit pent up, because he came for quite a while, leaving Zoe feeling like she'd just had a meal. As he relaxed, Zoe felt him let her ears go and he rubbed the top of her head, letting her pull her head back and allowing his softening penis to slip from her lips. He could feel her finger slip out of him and he leaned down, grabbed her, and pulled her up to kiss her.
Gabriel gave Zoe a deep kiss, allowing his tongue to sweep inside of Zoe's tiny mouth, tasting his semen that had coated the inside of her. It was something he'd done before, so it was nothing new. But he'd never done that with Zoe before and brought a new aspect to their relationship. He loved his doe even more than before and couldn't wait to get home to marry her.

Wendy was nervous as Dmitrei walked her up to the front door of her apartment. She'd been thinking about inviting him in for a while now and since it was their sixth date, she was planning on asking him. The only reason she'd been hesitating for so long was that Dmitrei was such a gentlemammal, never pushing her, letting her set the pace.
As they kissed on her front step, Wendy couldn't help noticing how his tongue was like the rest of him, big, thick, and muscular. When the kiss broke, Wendy looked into her date's gorgeous eyes and asked, almost shyly, "Would you like to come in for a little while?"
Dmitrei noticed how she suddenly looked coy and asked him if he'd like to come in. He had to admit that Wendy was a lot more mammal than he expected a priestess, especially a priestess of a death goddess, to be. But he wasn't like some of his fellow dancers who had a female, or even males, or both, in different cities to keep them company the night after a performance. His father had been that way and he refused to be that way. Not to say he was unfamiliar with sex, but he genuinely liked Wendy.
"Dmitrei need to ask, does Wendy truly like Dmitrei? Dmitrei not like standing one night. Dmitrei want long haul, together long time."
Wendy's breath caught at that statement. Her heart sped up and her voice quavered as she responded to his question with one of her own. "You want me to be your girlfriend?" She asked hopefully.
Dmitrei smiled widely and said, "DA! And... more?"
He didn't get a vocal answer as Wendy's lips smashed onto his own and her arms wrapped around him, her mouth opening in invitation. Dmitrei was a dancer and could take cues with the best of them. He drove his tongue into her mouth, easily dominating Wendy's own as her moans increased.
Wendy dropped her paws and frantically searched through her purse for her keys while still locked in the most amazing kiss she'd ever had. Fumbling, she tried first finding the right key and then tried getting it in the lock, getting more and more frustrated at not being able to find the keyhole. Then she felt Dmitrei's paw on hers, steadying the key. Together, they were able to fit the key in the door and unlock it. Still tied together at the lips, they entered Wendy's apartment. The door was practically slammed shut and the lock made a loud 'click' as it was engaged. The door stayed that way until late the next afternoon.
