Zeus slowly opened his eyes, finding the room bathed in the pale orange flames of the slowly dying fire. His lover still wrapped protectively in his arms and snuggled tightly to him under the thick, comfy blanket. He smiled down at her, the memory of their most recent, and quite intense love making still fresh in his mind. He sighed thinking about how he had, wrapped in the warm embrace of their shared afterglow he had asked the pretty puppy girl in his arms to be his mate, the girl readily accepting his proposal. Her mother had already given them her blessing, which surprised the palomino boy somewhat with their age difference. The more he thought about it, the puppy girl sleeping soundly in his embrace, the warmth of her body next to his, he couldn’t believe his incredible luck. The way she looked at him when they were together.. it just felt right to consider spending the rest of his life with the angle in his embrace. He sighed a little as thoughts of their soon to be life together played through his mind. Days spent working the land for their sustenance, or working in the workshop designing and building the things that would give less fortunate furs a better life. Nights spent in his mates arms wrapped in the love they felt for each other. He couldn’t think of a single place he would rather be than in the arms of the wonderful girl he had fallen so suddenly for. He had almost let his arrogance and pride get in the way of finding the one thing missing in his life. He snickered softly at the thought that a chance meeting, and the subsequent bruised ego of having his butt handed to him by the pretty puppy in his arms, had opened his eyes to just how much of an ass he had been. So much so that he nearly lost what he had been looking for, someone to share his life with, he would have never imagined it would be the fuzzy little pup laying beside him now. Or that she had fell for his as quickly as he had for her. 

He carefully pulled away from his sleeping lover, bundling the blanket around her a little tighter as he slipped out from under it. Once free he walked over and added more wood to the fire, the cooler night air had made the cabin a bit cooler, one thing he actually liked about being up higher in the mountains, the brisk, early morning air always felt invigorating on his bare fur. Once he had the fire built back up he slipped off into the kitchen, busying himself with making a large pan of steaming hot cocoa as his lover slept in the other room. Once it was ready he poured them each a big steaming mug of the hot, deep brown liquid, adding a large pawful of mini marshmallows to each before taking them back to the living room. Kneeling down beside his lover he placed one of the mugs near her muzzle, the tantalizing scent soon causing the puppy girl to begin to sniff deeply and stir in the love nest she was still wrapped up in.

The puppy girl’s nose twitched a little more as she took in the scent of the cocoa, her whiskers twitching a little as she started stirring.  Stretching out and letting out a little yawn as she opened her eyes to the sight of her mate with the two mugs.  “Mmmmmh, Morning sweetie.”  She said softly, just above a whisper, but loud enough to speak volumes as to how she felt.  Sitting up and scooting back to the couch, taking her nest with her, she held it open.  “Come on.”

Zeus scooted over beside his lover, pulling the puppy girl and their love nest into his lap he wrapped his arms around her under the thick, soft blanket, pulling her to his chest as he settled in against the couch. “Good morning fluffy tail, did you sleep alright last night sweet pea?” he asked as he nuzzled against her neck, his paws slowly rubbing over her belly.

“I slept wonderfully.”  She said smiling, murring as she felt her lover nuzzling against her.  “There is something about having a big stud muffin of a horse to snuggle up to, a warm blanket and a fire….it’s paradise.”  She said looking up and planting a kiss on her lover’s chin.

“Paradies is being next to my sexy little puppy. You know that waking up like this is going to spoil the hell out of me right sweet lips?” he asked, kissing softly along her neck. “If it weren’t for all the things we need to do today… I don’t think anything could get me out from under this blanket all day.” Laying his head across her shoulder he asked, “so, before we get started on the day, what would you like for breakfast?”

“Mmmh, just something a little simple would be good.”  She said smiling.  “Some cereal or something oatmeal would nice.”  Hana said pausing a moment, “so what all is on the agenda for the day?”

“Well, this morning we need to finish the feral chicken pen,” he began, his paws coming together over her belly, fingers interlacing as he held her against himself. “Then we need to do a little work on the garden spot. It’ll be time to get the planting started in about two more weeks so we have veggies for the winter. After that… let’s see,” he said leaning his head back and looking to the ceiling. “There is the routine maintenance on the small tractor and the disk harrow, the tool shed needs cleaning out and straightened up. And I still need to finish getting the rest of the machinery in the workshop set and bolted down. The usual cleaning of the cabin, though that never takes very long. That should keep us busy until about lunch time, then we can go over the stuff for this afternoon while we eat and rest a little.”

“Ummmm.”  She started out.  “Do…..do feral chickens attack or anything?  I have never been around them or anything like that.”  She asked as she looked up to her lover, nearly melting into his arms.

“Only if you’re late feeding them, even then it’s not so much attack as getting a little unruly. They’re kind of on a schedule for feeding time and they don’t much like being kept waiting,” Zeus said leaning down and kissing his lover on the cheek. “The main thing is when you go into the pen, act like you own the place and they’ll mostly respect that. They want fed and it’s pretty much all they care about. What I have in mind honey is to kind of ease you into the workload around here. There really is a lot to do every day, and that'll get a little worse as I get the rest of the livestock up here and settled. But once you have a routine down it goes by pretty quickly.”

“Ok.”  Was all that she said.  “Just so long as nothing really doesn’t attack me I think that I can handle anything.”  She said smiling and nodding.  “I will admit that it will take me a little to get the swing of things, but with you helping and knowing what all this means, I know that I can do it.”

Zeus nipped at her neck a little, a soft giggle escaping his muzzle as he said, “”the only thing you have to worry about attacking you is this one crazy ass horse, I think he will have a very hard time keeping his paws off such a beautiful, sexy girl like you Hana.”

“Well if that’s the cause…..I think I know a few things that will cool him down….and a few things to make him nicker and moan.”  She said letting out a little murr as she felt him nipping at her neck.  “And if he gets to out of hand I’m sure that I can pin him and end up on top.”

“I bet he would like having you on top sometimes… makes it easier to let his paws roam all over that beautiful, soft, fluffy fur of yours. Not to mention how much he could grope and fondle that cute, sexy ass of yours,” the palomino boy said letting his paws slip lower, his fingers gently stroking her pubic mound as he spoke.

“Such a perv.”  She said softly, letting out a soft moan as she felt her lover’s paws teasing between her legs.  “Careful now…..you keep that up and we will end up late for getting work started.”

“True enough,” the palomino boy said kissing her neck softly. “Just think of it as an incentive to get finished as soon as we can so we can get to more… fun things sweet lips.” His paws going back to rubbing slowly over the slightly rounded belly of his lover he whispered into her ear, “if we get done early enough… we could slip off to the lake for a little skinny dipping to get cleaned up before supper time.” As one paw traced the slight orb of her tummy he added, “you know Hana… this whole sex ed thing still seems a little weird to me, but with you in the class… I think I’m beginning to understand a little better what that old line I’ve heard about a pregnant girl being even more sexy really means.”

“Well it looks like that’s more of a reason to get things done.”  Hana said wiggling a little against her lover, murring happily at the feeling of his hands on her belly, blushing at the comment that he made.  “Now….I know that you like my fluff….but you know that I’m going to look like a cotton ball when I get dried off right?”

“I bet we can find a few ways to get your fur to lay flat again… or maybe make the fluffy even worse,” the equine boy said kissing the puppy girls neck again. “Okay fluff tail, we do need to get breakfast and get started soon. Though I think you might want to rethink the cereal thing. It’s gonna be a while until lunch and we have a lot to get done.”

“Well then….I will let you fix us something good and hardy.”  She said smiling and snickering a little.  “And yeah….you will get to live the fluffy nightmare…..the power of a good brush is a must.”

 Slipping out from under his lover and getting to his hooves Zeus snickered a little. Turning to look his lover in the eyes he said, “my paws… brushing out my fluff ball of a mate... now why do I see this taking hours and not much brushing actually getting done?” Walking towards the kitchen he added, “well, definitely something to keep me going through the morning, The thought of letting my paws roam over every last inch of my beautiful lover’s body, her enjoying every moment of it while I try to behave long enough to get her fur to lay flat…”

“I wonder if you can do that?”  Hana said with a snicker.  “I think that there is going to be a little bet there.”  The raccoon dog girl said with a little giggle, resting her elbows on the counter, and her head in her hands.  She wiggled a little as she watched her lover starting to get to work in the kitchen, fixing them something to eat.

Gathering the ingredients for their breakfast Zeus made a bit of a show bending over to gather items from the fridge taking his time and letting his girlfriend get her fill of the sight before her. Setting a skillet on the stove he reached over and took an apron from a hook on one of the cabinet doors. Tying it around his waist he grinned at his puppy lover and said, “gotta be careful around the stove, wouldn’t want my sexy pups favorite parts getting burned or anything would we?”

“Well we don’t want any of my pony to get burnt…..cause that’s not the only part that is my favorite...the whole thing is my favorite.”  She said smiling and wiggling a little more in her seat.  “And I have to say…..you just got a lot more sexy when you put that apron on.”  Hana said licking her lips.

Once he had the bacon and sausage started the equine walked over to the counter, leaning across it and kissing his lover softly before saying. “Sitting there undressing me with your eyes… who’s the perv now fluffball?” He turned and walked back towards the stove stopping part way and flipping the apron up, flashing his lover as he said, “peep show,” then turning back to preparing their breakfast.

Blushing and snickering a little bit as she watched her mate flashing her.  “You know, doing stuff like that is a good way to get a perv of a fluffball under that apron, teasing a pony as he cooks…..just to see if he can do it.”

“Promises promises,” the equine boy said teasingly. “I think the more important question is does my sexy little fluffball have the guts to try it,” he said concentrating on his cooking and not paying much attention to the girl behind him. “How do you like your eggs sexy?” Rolling his eyes he added under his breath, “my lover is such a horn dog.”

Hana didn’t say anything as she got up and slipped up behind her lover, falling to her knees and then getting to her knees and wiggling between him and the counter behind her.  “Think I got the guts now?”  She asked as she started licking and teasing at her lover’s shaft.

One paw went to the counter beside the stove to steady himself as the equine felt his lover begin to lick and tease at his shaft. He moaned softly, forcing himself to focus on what he was cooking as his body shivered slightly from the warm soft tongue lapping at his slowly stiffening cock. Clearing his throat he said, “okay sexy legs, point proven… but ummm, maybe you better stay under there so I don’t drop anything in your hair.” he shivered again, gripping the 
counter tighter as he felt her warm, soft tongue trace along the underside of his stiffening cock from the root to the flared head.  “What a way to start the day,” he panted out softly, his lovers ministrations beginning to affect him a little more than he had bargained for as he tried to finish their breakfast quickly, yet wanting to take his time and let her have her way with him .

Pulling her lips from kissing and teasing her lover’s cock, she spoke up.  “Is that really the reason?  Or do you just really like it?”  She asked with a little snicker as she started licking at the tip of his flared head, making to tease and lick at every inch of it before taking the flared head of his member into her muzzle, starting to suckle it.

Zeus gasped softly when he felt his lover slip the flared head of his cock into her muzzle. Her warm soft lips wrapped around his girth as she suckled softly on his nearly erect penis. “D… damn it Hana… life with you is going to be really interesting isn’t it?”

Not saying anything, she just started sliding her lips and muzzle down his cock, taking in more and more of it.  Once she had the first few inches of it in her muzzle, she let her tongue and tease the underside of his cock.  Pulling back and letting the cock slip from her muzzle with a pop.  “You have no idea.”  She said with a little giggle as she went back to blowing her lover as he cooks, her hands slipping up and starting to stroke the rest of his cock.

Despite his best efforts the equine boys hips began to thrust lightly into his lovers muzzle and paws as she teased and pleasured him. Keep… keep that up sexy legs and your gonna need a shower before we even start work,” he squeaked out, his paws going to the counter to steady himself. “God that muzzle… so soft and warm…”

Murring as she pulled back from the cock that she was suckling on.  “I’m sure that we can clean up quick before we get started.”  She said as she leaned in and kissed the tip of his cock.  “Or do you want me to stop and let you handle it?”  She said with a little snicker before going back to teasing and licking along his shaft.

Reaching up and turning off the burner, sliding the skillet to a cold burner the equine boy moaned softly. Reaching down, his paws slipping under her arms he stepped back pulling the girl with him and laying her down on her back. As he turned he said, “ no… all I want is a level playing field,” as he knelt down over her his now throbbing cock mere inches from her muzzle as his muzzle quickly dipping between her thighs. “Let’s see if my puppy lover can take as good as she gives,” as he leaned down and began to lick and lap at her damp nether lips.

Blushing a little as she felt her lover moving her, laying her down and climbing onto her.  “I thought that I could get you off before you would finish up.”  She said as she went right back to suckling on the cock that was dangling over her muzzle, picking up with the same pace that she had started with, like she hadn’t missed a beat.

Taking what sounded like a challenge to him Zeus slipped his tongue into her sopping entrance, wiggling the tip wildly as he slowly drove the firm muscle into her sodden tunnel. If it was a contest to get one another off she wanted he was more than happy to oblige her. Pulling back, letting his tongue slip from her warm, wet, inviting folds he said, “let’s see who pops first sexy legs. Can my puppy finish me before I can finish her?” Finishing his short challenge he quickly resumed his assault on her body, his tongue working her intimate parts as his paws slipped along her body to fondle and grope her budding breasts.

Having pulled the cock from her muzzle to let out a little moan as she felt the tongue wiggling into her and teasing her depths.  “What’s the prize?”  Hana asked with a little snicker as she she went back to suckling her lover, her paws reaching up to start stroking his cock that wasn’t in her muzzle, letting her fingers traced up his shaft to his balls, softly teasing them.

Leaning back a little, his tongue slipping from her entrance he moaned out softly before replying, “winner gets to pick tonights activities, and be on top the whole night. Unless it’s totally out of line or could get someone hurt anything goes.” The moment the words were out of his muzzle he drove his tongue as deep into her silken channel as it would go, the tip wiggling and teasing her most sensitive spots.

“That sounds like a plan to me.”  Hana said with a little smile, her hands coming to rest on his rump.  Her tongue slipping out and sliding along the underside of his cock as she pulled him down.  Soon his balls were resting within range of her tongue, that soon snaked out and started licking and teasing the cum filled orbs as his cock was teased with the long fluff of her chest and budding breasts.

A throaty moan escaped the equine, his young lover driving him ceaselessly towards his peak as he pistoned his tongue into her channel. Tilting his head a little he used his lower lip to rub and tease her stiff little clit. The growing feeling of his impending orgasm beginning to overtake him he started to hum softly, the vibrations transferred directly to his lovers little nub as he pressed his lips tightly to her labia, his tongue thrusting into her wildly as he strove to bring the puppy girl to climax quickly.

Moaning out as she felt the lip teasing her clit along with the vibrations of his humming.  It was clear that the little puppy was getting just as close as her lover, her walls starting to shake and quiver a little.  She didn’t say anything other than letting out moans and whimpers as she kept licking and teasing her lovers balls, puffing her chest out a little as she pressed his cock against her a little harder.  “You know that you gonna cum first stud muffin.”  She managed to squeak out.

Not giving in to his lovers teasing so easily the equine simply shook his head a little, his humming replaced by a long, low whiny as his fingers pinched and tugged tenderly on her nipples. In a flash of sudden creativity his lower lip began to rapidly flick over her swollen, needy pleasure buzzer, his tongue folding back over itself as the tip tapped and fluttered over her G spot rapidly. the strong, rhythmic rippling of her inner walls along the length of his tongue told him she was so very close to losing the wager.  The tightening of his scrotum as it drew up close to his body telling him he had to finish her quickly or he would secumb to her attempts to make him cum first. The only saving grace he had was that her soft, wonderful fur wasn’t nearly as wonderful or as exciting as her warm, soft, wet muzzle had been on his sensitive prick had been. Had she continued the exquisite blow job she had started he wasn't sure he would have any hope of lasting long enough to bring her to orgasm before he couldn’t hold back any longer.

“Oh fuck.”  Was all that she was able to get out of her muzzle before shivering, her body tensing up as her walls started milking at the tongue that was inside of her slit, sweet feminine nectar leaking out around the tongue.  She did manage to go back to pleasuring her lover, going back to suckling and teasing his cock, letting the tip of her tongue trace around the edge of his flared cock head, flicking across his cum slit on occasion.

The  renewed assault on his throbbing cock was more than Zeus could take. Thick spurts of pre pulsing into the warm, soft muzzle engulfing the flared head of his prick as his body tensed up in anticipation of the flood of his seed his lover was about to receive. His knees began to buckle slightly as he fought to stave off his release. Barely a moment passed before it proved futile to attempt to resist the tender mercies of his lover as his head shot up, “Ha… Hana gonna… cummmmmmm…” he panted out as he felt the first throb of his cock in her muzzle, his sticky load threatening to burst from his tip as he warned his lover.

At the warning of the incoming volley of her lover’s seed, she readied herself.  The moment that she felt the first ropes of her lover’s cum pouring into her muzzle, she started swallowing down the sticky treat that filled her muzzle.  As her lover came, her paws moved up and started fondling and rubbing his balls, helping milk all of the cum that she could.  She did the best that she could to drink down the seed that would fill her muzzle, though some of it soon started dribbling out of the sides of her muzzle.

Zeus’ body shivered and shook with the sheer power of the intense orgasm his lover had given him. Thick ropes of his creamy, warm cum filled her muzzle to overflowing as he spent his load into the warm softness of her mouth, the muffled gulping of his lover drawing out his release longer than he thought possible. After several long, glorious moments his throbbing cock slowed in the pulses that sent his seed into her muzzle tapering off at last as his prick began to soften and go limp in her lips. When Hana finally released him from her muzzle, his cock slipping from between her lips with a soft pop and she gulped down the last of his load he shakily turned to lay beside her face to face. Panting heavily he whispered, “I win sweet cakes… after that I’ll have to think of something really special as a reward for both of us.” Gazing into her beautiful blue eyes he said, “looks like I still managed to make a bit of a mess of my sexy lover,” as his tongue slipped from him between his lips, lapping up the traces of his seed in the short, soft fur of her muzzle. 

“And knowing you, I know that it’s going to be something that the both of us will really love.”  She said blushing a little as she felt him licking at the cum that had leaked out the side of her muzzle.  “I hope the food didn’t get cold.”  She said with a little giggle.

“Only the meat,” the equine said murring softly, wrapped in the afterglow of their intimate encounter. “No big deal to warm it back up while I fix the eggs and hash brown potatoes. Got to feed my sexy girl and take care of her right,” the horse boy said smiling at her. “Okay hot legs, I’ll finish up breakfast while you go and freshen up a little. Then we’ll eat and get to work so we can get done and on to more fun playing with each other okay?”

“Sounds like a deal to me.”  She said as she got up, slipping off to the bathroom to get cleaned up a little as she let her lover get the rest of the food ready.  Once she was cleaned up, she made her way back out to the kitchen and taking her place at the table.  “Sooooo where’s my noms?”  Hana said with a little snicker.

“Well… your breakfast is right here,” the horse boy said setting a heaping plate of meat, eggs, potatoes and biscuits in front of his lover. “As far as your noms… that will have to wait until later hot lips, we have a lot of work to do and I want to get it done so I can spend the evening making love to the prettiest girl in the world,” the equine said as he sat down across the table from his lover. “With what all we have to do today though I think the first order of business tonight will be a long, hot bath with my beautiful mate. Then… some nice slow lovemaking and a night of snuggling and cuddling my lover.” Looking the puppy girl in the eyes he added, “but I think I’ll let my lady decide where we make love… any preferences sexy?”

“Well…..you said something about a trip out to the lake today…..that would be a fun place to make love….”  Hana said smiling as she started digging into the plate of food in front of her.  “Or maybe on a bed of roses.”

“Sounds good to me, should I plan on a quick trip or should I get the camping gear and we’ll just stay the night out there?” Leaning back in his chair he smiled and added, “if we get all the work done today… we could stay out at the lake tonight and spend the day there tomorrow as well.”

“Well then I say that we pack the camping stuff.”  Hana said with a smile, happily eating, clearly enjoying the meal that her lover made her.  “Get to look up at the stars, roast marshmallows and all that.”

Smiling as he finished his breakfast the equine boy said, “then chow down sey legs, we got work to do so we can have time for us.”

The pair finished their breakfast, pitching in together to quickly do the dishes and the minimal cleaning the cabin required before setting out to do their other chores. Hana was a fast learner, quickly picking up on the things her lover showed her how to do. By the time lunch rolled around most of their work had been completed, both of them covered in dust and dirt as they walked back into the cabin for the midday meal.

“Okay sweet pea, you’ve had a better taste of what you’re getting yourself into today… still ready for this kind of a life style?” the horse boy said reaching down and groping his lover playfully.

“Oh you know it.  Just cause I’m small doesn’t mean that I’m not built for this.”  She said smiling and snickering a little.  “You remember how I put you on your butt?  Well part of the training into that is a lot of physical conditioning…..this is just a drop in the bucket so to speak.”

Smiling at her, Zeus replied, “Hana honey, the physical part wasn’t that much of a concern to me. It was more about being alone up here with just me to keep you company and stuff. Like I said before, when winter comes we could wind up snowed in for days or even weeks at a time. The isolation and not really having other furs around is more what my concern was sweet lips. I just wanted you to be certain that this is what you wanted babe. I don’t want to force this on anyone, it can be kind of lonely being up here long term and all.” Gathering items from the fridge to make sandwiches for them he continued. “If you like being out like this and left alone it’s great. But I know that this kind of a life isn’t for everyone.”

“Well as for the being only us.  I can handle that kind of thing.”  She said smiling as she finished washing her paws and dried them on a paper towel.  “I’m used to it just being mom and me….for the longest time before we moved out here, it was just me her and dad.”  She said pausing for a moment.  “And besides this place has like everything that I need.  Mom is close, you’re here, there’s food and everything…..I think that only thing we’re missing is the internet.”

“Well…” the horse boy said  blushing a little, “I was planning on adding that and cable television this summer. Truth is that I had a hell of a time getting the cable company to agree to running a line out this far without the price being insane. A buddy of mine helped me work out an agreement with them and it’s scheduled to be in by the end of next month.”.

“Well then that makes it all the better, I can play Guild Wars 2 in our free time…..the guild won’t miss me to much then.”  She said with a little snicker.  “As for TV, I never really could find all that much that was fun to watch.”  She said as she walked up to the table and started helping her mate out with making lunch.

“For the most part I never watch tv much either,” Zeus said as he walked over to the cabinets. Returning with a bag of potato chips he said, “but now that I have a pretty woman to spend the nights with… I think the movie channels are sounding like a little better of a deal. Me and you, curled up in front of a fire watching a movie together and snuggling… sounds like a nice quiet night at home with my lovely mate. So I guess maybe we should let mama Chou know that we’ve decided to get married huh?"

“Though knowing you and I, I don’t think that we would make it all the way through some of the movies.”  Hana said with a little snicker.  “And as for telling momma Chou…...I think that we should call and tell her that we are heading out to tell her something…..that way she can get dressed…..and cleaned up knowing her.”

“Probably a good idea,” the equine boy said with a little snicker. “You know Hana… once we get the work caught up around here and get things set better, there will probably be a lot more time for us. I wouldn’t mind a bit seeing my sexy lady running around the house in the fur at all.”

Snickering a little at the comment.  “Well you seen what happened this morning with us in just the fur.”  She said smiling and finishing up putting her sandwich together.  “But I would totally be fine with the whole in the fur thing…..cause I have said it before, this fluff and clothes is not a good mix to me…...I might be able to work outside topless.”  She said with a snicker.

“Well, there goes my productivity out the window,” he said with a little snicker. “I would be fine with that Hana, as long as it’s outside or in the cabin. In the workshop I don’t think it would be a good idea though. And as far as this morning goes… maybe that’s what I had in mind with the idea of being naked with you more. Pervy or not I like making love to you, and snuggling you with that fluff is heavenly.” Putting their sandwiches on paper towels and grabbing the bag of chips he said, “come on sweet lips, we’ll go sit on the porch and eat lunch, too nice of a day to be inside if we don’t have to be. We’ll get our fill of that this fall and winter when it gets cold outside .”

“Sounds good to me.”  Hana said as she grabbed two drinks from the fridge and followed her lover out to the porch, and joining him on the swing that was sitting out there.  “It really is nice out here.”  Hana said as she took a moment to really look out to the woods that surrounded them, the sea of different trees, all still showing their late summer colors, though soon enough there would be an explosion of color when the leaves turned.  “It’s…...amazing out here.”  She said as she snuggled up to her lover, taking her sandwich.

“That it is sweetie, I love it up here, and the fall is the best part when the mountains explode in color with the turning of the leaves. Though now I have an even more beautiful sight to stare at,” Zeus said wrapping one arm over his lovers shoulders and pulling her in close to him. “In a few more weeks I’ll have to start laying in enough wood to get through the winter. The place has a great heater, but with my sexy mate with me there will be a lot more reason to have a fire more often.” He paused for a few moments as he took a bite of his sandwich and chewed it, stuffing a pawful of chips into his muzzle as well. “I have to say… your really beautiful with the soft warm glow of  a fire highlighting your fur. It makes you even more sexy… if that’s at all possible.”

Yawning and stretching out on the swing that sat on the back porch the mother raccoon dog murred happily at the peace and quiet.  She had spent her first day in her new place laying around and taking care of things.  She reveled in the fact that she didn’t have to muffle herself, that she could do it any place in the house that she wanted to, hell she was happy that she got to do her morning meditations in a place where she could hear herself think, the fact that she could do it naked was just icing on the cake.

A sound from inside the house caught her attention, her eyes snapping open as she got to her feet and made her way in and to the source of the sound in the kitchen.  Picking up the phone she spoke.  “Hello.”

“Hey mom.”  Hana’s voice came from the other end of the line.  “Zeus and I just wanted to call and make sure that you have some clothes on…..we’re going to be heading that way, we have something to tell you.”

“Ok sweetie, just give me a few moments to get dressed and a few things picked up.”  Chou said with a little snicker.

“Gross mom…..see you in a bit.”  Hana said giggling a little as she hung up.  “We just need to give her a few and things will be good.”  

“Not a problem sexy,” the horse boy said patting his lover on the rump as he walked past her. “Need to get some things out of the storage shed for our trip to the lake later. May as well do it now so we can get out of here quicker when we get back.” Pausing at the back door of the cabin he turned a little and said, “while I do that, in the closet in the living room are some pillows with green covers on them, they’re water proof. Grab those please and put some drinks in that coller over beside the pantry door please sweet lips.”

“You got it.”  Hana said smiling softly as she made her way to the closet, rifling through it for the thing aforementioned.  Once she had them, she set them beside the door in one of the chairs, and went off to busy herself with filling the cooler, and getting everything ready for their trip.

Zeus whistled softly as he dug through the contents of the storage shed in search of his camping gear. Most of it stacked neatly near the door. One item in particular was missing and he had to look harder to remember where he had placed it. Spying the dark blue tote bag that contained the heavy inflatable bed and raised frame he smiled to himself as he moved boxes and plastic totes to retrieve it. “This will be a night to remember my sexy little puppy,” he said to himself as he walked back out the door and started stacking the items outside of the shed. “Now with a little luck I can pull a bed of roses out of my furry behind and surprise my soon to be mate.” Cocking his head to the side a little he mumbled, “I wonder if puppy girls squeak when they get excited…” 

Within a few minutes the horse boy had the gear hauled to the garage, loading it into the small trailer that could be pulled behind the motorcycle with ease. As he was strapping it in place the raccoon dog girl walked up beside him, the pillows tucked under one arm and the cooler in her other paw, a huge smile on her face.

“Looks like this is going to be a fun night.”  Hana said as she watched her lover strapping things down before handing him the cooler and the pillows and blanket.  “This must be a big tent or something…..bigger than the one that I make you pitch.”  She said with a little snicker.

“Something like that,” the equine said turning quickly and scooping his lover into his arms. Leaning down, touching the tip of his muzzle to the puppy girls, a devilish twinkle in his eyes he added, “I happen to like the way you make me pitch a tent sexy… at least when there aren’t a hundred people staring at us like we’re nuts.” Kissing her softly on the lips, his paws groping her perky rear playfully he snickered as he broke the kiss. “So... think it’s safe to go give mama Chou the news yet?”

“If it isn’t we can watch her haul some ass to get ready.”  Hana said with a little giggle.  “And I can’t help it….You were the one that sat behind me on the bleachers…..and had the perfect spot to rest my head.”  She said smiling and poking her tongue out.

Blushing deeply as he let her slip from his arms the horse boy said, “lay your head… God I still can’t believe you did that right there in front of everyone. But to be honest it was amazing… especially when I would think about getting caught like that and thrown out of the stadium.” Grabbing their helmets from the nearby shelf and handing hers to the puppy girl he added, “come on sweet lips ;lets go see how badly mama Chou rips me a new one when we tell her for sure that we’re getting married.”

As the pair rode up to the smaller cabin, the wind whipping Hana’s long hair as she giggled happily and hung onto her lover’s waist the bike swervd a little before pulling to a stop near the porch of the cabin. 

With a giggle Zeus said, “damn it Hana, I asked you to stop doing that when I’m driving… we nearly hit that last tree when you groped me like that,” as he pulled his helmet off and turned around to look at his lover.

“I’m sorry…..I can’t help it that you look so hot when you're driving that thing…..If I knew how to get you to do it…..We would be making love on one of them as we drive.”  Hana said licking her lips as she set her helmet on the seat of the bike.  

The two made their way up to the cabin and knocked on the door, there was a small sound of someone rushing to do something before the door opened.  “I was starting to think that you two had gotten side tracked.”  Chou said stepping to the side, letting them walk into the cabin.  “So what is this news?”

As they stepped through the door Zeus sniffed deeply. “Mmmm vanila… been baking cookies or something mama Chou?”

“Nope.  That’s the stuff that she burns when she is trying to cover something up.”  Hana said with a little snicker as they walked over to the sofa, the three of them sitting down.

“No…..I was burning it to help me meditate…..I’m not that much of a perv.”  Chou said snickering a little.

“Yeah right mom.”  Hana said shaking her head a little.  “It’s strawberry when you're meditating, vanila when you…..do that…”  

“Ummm, does it work?” the equine boy asked blushing brightly, their big news forgotten for the moment as his lover teased her mother openly.

“For most furs it does…..though with canines and species that have a good sense of smell, not to much.”  Chou said snickering a little, admitting that she had been up to something.  “Anyway, you two have something to tell me…..and it better not be that she’s knocked up or something like that.”

“No… nothing like that I swear mama Chou,” Zeus said quickly. “We have… well been going at it like minks in heat and all… but we’ve been safe and used protection. What have to tell you is that after a little more time with your wonderful daughter I’m convinced that this is the right thing to do. It’s official, I’ve asked Hana to be my mate and marry me…”

“Well that was quicker than I thought.”  Chou said as she leaned back in her chair.  “I thought that it would have taken another day before you two decided that, but it is wonderful news.”  She said smiling.  “I’m not sure what your family’s traditions are when it comes to this kind of thing, but we would like a more traditional wedding.”

Giggling a little he responded, “dad will go along with just about anything. Mom on the other hand may freak out a little. But that will pass pretty quickly once she understands that I’m completely serious about this. I’m sure she’ll give me the whole ‘this is a case of puppy love’ speech,” he said with a little snicker, “especially considering that my choice of mate is a canine girl. But I know I can convince her it’s not anything like that. I love Hana, which mom will say is too soon to know that but I do know it, with all my heart.” Leaning back into the sofa he took a deep breath and asked, “so what is a more traditional wedding as far as Hana is concerned?”

“Well it’s kind of a mix of Eastern and Western cultures.”  Chou said leaning forward.  “We get married in a chapel, but several of the traditions follow the old ways.  Such as the wife to be dressing in nothing but white….that use to mean getting fur dyed for the tradition, but I think that’s a little much.”  The mother said.  “Traditional Japanese food and drinks, kimonos for everyone…..”  She paused for a moment.  “And maybe a trip overseas.”

“Ummm… a trip overseas?” the equine boy asked cocking an eyebrow at his lovers mather. “That could present a little problem on my end maybe. Though I may be able to put that to rest if I know why the trip is necessary mama Chou.”

“Well for it to be traditional it is.”  She said smiling, pausing a moment.  “And if it’s something to do with money, then I have enough flyer miles to cover, me, you, Hana, and your family.”

“Oh no nothing like that mama Chou,” the horse boy said rubbing his chin in thought for a moment. “The problem is my mother… she refuses to fly. Three different times dad planned really great vacations for the family. And each time we ended up going without mom because she refused to get on the airplane. I want my mother to be there when Hana and I get married, and as far as the rest of the objections I know she may come up with I can handle those without a problem. I’m just not sure if that would be a good enough reason for her to get on a plane.”

“Well if that’s the cause…..will she get on a boat……”  Chou said, the smile that she had growing a little.

“I don’t know… she might.’ Zeus said leaning his head to the side. “But a trip like that by boat takes what… two, three weeks? She’d have to leave way ahead of the rest of us and I’m not sure dad would be okay with that.”

“We can all go by boat…..have a nice vacation….a chance for us to meet your family…..get to know them and all…..and well…..have fun….I’m sure that we could all go for some of that.”  Chou said smiling and licking her lips.

Shaking his head slowly the horse boy said, “I guess it wouldn’t hurt to ask, once she get over the freak out of me getting married that is.”

“Just make sure you tell them that everything is paid for and all that.”  Chou said reaching out and patting the boy on the knee.

“Mom…..just what the hell are you up to.”  Hana said cocking her eyebrow.

“Yes.”  Was all that the mother said.  “So when are you going to tell them?”

“I was thinking this coming Tuesday,” Zeus said leaning forward on the sofa. “I thought I could invite Hana to dinner with my parents, or at least tell them I had and we can tell them then. Actually tell my mom then, dad will grill me like a steak after this weekend and I know I’ll never be able to keep it from him. Besides that way I’ll have him as an ally to help me deal with mom.”

Snickering a little.  “Just try to get some of it recorded…..I want to see the looks on their faces.”  Chou said smiling.  “And once you tell them, then we can start getting everything set up for the trip and the wedding.”  

“Mom…….I want to know what you are planning?”  She said shaking her head.  “It’s not nice to keep secrets and all that….isn’t that what you told me?”

“Oh ok…..buzz kill.”  Chou said shaking her head.  “You know that your grandma and grandpa would want to be able to see you getting married….I mean you are their favorite grandkid.”  She said smiling.  “That and…...well….other things.”

“You're still hiding something…...I will get it out of you one way or the other.”

“I guess that makes sense,” the horse boy said leaning back into the sofa again. “I know if any of my grandparents were still talking to the rest of my family they would be excited for me and want to be there. At least the ones still living would… he added trailing off for a few moments. An almost evil grin came to his lips as Zeus snickered then said, “and that’s how to get mom on the boat. I can tell her that if she won’t be there for me, grandma Estelle will be.”

“Well well it looks like we have more and more of our little ducks in a row.”  Chou said smiling and snickering.  “I will make a few calls…..and get the rest of the ducks in a row.”

“Ummm okay, so when do you want to do this Hana?” her lover asked wrapping her in his arms.

“Well…...just as soon as you tell them and get everything ready…...so in a week or two we leave port.”  Chou said smiling, Hana just face palming.

“That’s…. kind of quick isn’t it?” Zeus asked wide eyed. “Some kind of a hurry about this all aren’t you mama Chou? It’s not like I’m going to change my mind or anything about marrying Hana.” Looking from his lover to her mother he added, “I mean I can get things set in time, and get both of us set up to do our school work online while we’re gone but….”

“It’s not so much a rush.”  Chou said smiling.  “And I’m sure that you can get all of that set up in time.  The reason around this time, the weather is sooooooo nice…..and so many festivals around that time…..I’m sure that we can talk your family into staying a little…..enjoy some of the events and local life.”

“I guess…. well… “ the equine said pulling his puppy lover into his lap and nuzzling her neck. “ Looks like within a month we’ll be mated Hana, assuming my family doesn’t keel over dead when I spring all this on them at once. You ready to be Hana Chamberlain sweet cheeks?”

“I am.”  She said smiling and snickering a little.  “It has a nice ring to it, better than Zeus Jin.”  Hana said with a little giggle.

“That does sound a little odd…..kinda like a really expensive greek booze.”  Chou said smiling.

“This family dinner promises to be very interesting,” Zeus said shaking his head a little. “If she doesn’t keel over in ten seconds mom will be in for some very big surprises.” Leaning back into the sofa, pulling his lover close and cuddling with her the equine boy asked, “so mama Chou, since it’s a sure thing that you will be living here, how do you like your place?”

“I have to say…..I like it a lot.”  The older raccoon dog said smiling warmly.  “So peaceful and calm…..I could hear myself thinking when I was doing my morning meditation…..oh and having enough room to do tai chi without worrying about hitting something is amazing.”

All the while, momma Chou was playing with her box of fun.
