The Easter Virus, Chapter 4
By William W. Kelso
Fluff watched the small buck as he slept, her ears drooping with worry. He looked so pitiful, half starved and thin as a rail. He'd obviously been abused and mistreated; at the best neglected, and it made her really mad. The young hare was a sweet little thing, and how anyone could mistreat him was a mystery to her, but she'd seen worse; a lot worse. It was very cool in the room, and despite his fur and covers he was shivering, so she slipped off her top and bottom and slid into the bed next to him, and pulling him next to her chest wrapped her arms around him. He didn't wake up, but after awhile his shivering stopped.
"There, there, it's OK, Fluff said softly, I'm here."
Once his breathing had slowed to a more regular rhythm; and he relaxed and fell into a deeper more natural sleep, Fluff relaxed too and finally fell asleep.
I woke up, then stretched and gave a huge yawn, but Zoe kept sleeping. She had to work later that night, so was going to sleep in. I thought about nibbling her ears until she woke up, but decided I'd better not. It had been one heck of a night, and we'd all been trashed when we got home. It was one of the few times we'd just pretty much hopped right in bed without much in the way of the usual 'extracurricular activities' that were the norm. I leaned over and gave her a nice long sniff; I just loved her scent. Then I got up, and careful not to make too much noise I brushed my teeth, ran a grooming comb through my fur, slicked my ears with a few quick swipes of my fingers, and went down to the main house. As usual John had already been up for awhile, and Tina had breakfast waiting. When does the guy sleep, I wondered for the millionth time?
"Hi Tina, I said, and gave her a friendly nose rub, what's for chow?"
"Oh, nothing special, she replied, just corn flakes with milk, and some fresh veggies. Oh, and some fresh honey."
"Oh, yummy!" I squeaked, and sat down and filled my bowl with flakes. I poured in a little honey, but was careful. Too much sugar, even natural like in honey, was not good for hares. It gave us diarrhea, which was really NOT fun due to our fur. It was also hard on our kidneys and livers, and too much would kill us. But in small doses it was wonderful, but we stayed away from the refined white kind, that stuff was deadly.
"When you're through stuffing your muzzle, John said, I want you to go down to the shop with me and help do some inventory."
"Hey, I said, it's Sunday! You know, the day of rest."
"Since when did you get religion? John said, and besides, I want to swing by the Vets and check on Fluff, and her little friend too."
"Oh yeah, right, I said. Almost forgot about that. Who is he, anyway? Looked like a kid to me, but he smelled like an adult."
"Yeah, John said, did you see his ribs? Like the Vet said, he was malnourished and that might have stunted his growth. I wonder if he was like that before the change, or if it happened after."
"Guess we'll find out." I said around a carrot.
"Don't talk with your mouth full, John said, it's rude."
"Ah donf ker!" I replied, spitting out pieces of well chewed carrot all over the table.
"And disgusting." John added.
Still chewing a big mouthful, I grabbed him, and said, "C'mon, gif mle a big kisspf!" and spit some on him
"Get OFF of me, you homo!" John laughed.
"You two, out of the kitchen, NOW!" Tina squealed, and when she grabbed a big iron skillet we got.
Still laughing we hopped in the van, and headed for John's lawn care business. While he went around back to park I checked the mail, and then met him at the back door. There was no one else there since it was the weekend, and Ruby's desk looked empty without her. She was the only human lover I'd ever had, and, oh man! Most humans viewed sexual relations with a hare as bestiality; even though we'd once been human, but not Ruby. Turns out she has a furry fetish, and I was her dream come true, which was fine by me. Zoe knew of course, but had no problem with it.
John checked the answering machine, took a quick look at the mail, and then we went out back and did the quarterly inventory. In addition to mowers, edgers, weed-whackers, rakes, hoes, shovels, pruners, post-holes diggers, etc. there were all sorts of other tools and implements of professional lawn care and landscaping that I had no name for. So I learned a lot, even though it pretty much bored me to death. My own profession had been lab technician and computer operator, but it was really hard for a hare to find that kind of work now. Humans just assumed we were stupid, not much smarter then a 'normal' hare. I kept John's business computer up to date, but it wasn't a full time position, so I had to learn the rest of the business as well in order to earn my keep. When I'd been human I'd had a terrible allergy to cut grass, but now I enjoyed the smell, certain kind's even taste pretty good. We actually made some spare change by bagging up certain grasses and other plants and selling them to grocers and restaurants that have hare fare on their menus.
"Well, that's the last of the hoes, John finally said, let's run over to the Vet and see how Fluff and our mysterious friend are doing, then we'll get some lunch somewhere."
"Sounds like a plan", I said.
Fluff woke up, and found that Jeremy had gotten turned around and was facing her now, his wet noise buried between her upper breasts. The feel of his muzzle pushed between her ample breasts and his warm body against hers felt nice. When she gently nuzzled his ears he woke up with a yawn, then froze, then panicked. He gave a loud squeal of fright, and kicked her right in her stomach with his powerful hind legs, and she flew out of the bed and slid across the floor with a grunt of pain.
"Umfffff! Fluff groaned as she flew across the room, and then curled up and held her stomach. "J-Jeremy, why the Hell did you KICK me!?" She gasped. She looked at the bed, but couldn't see him, just a big wad of trembling bedding. Finally the shaking stopped, and two ears poked up and swiveled around, followed by his muzzle.
"Jeremy, Fluff puffed, damn it, that HURT!"
"I...I, what were you doing?? Jeremy asked in a trembling voice, you were naked!! I'M naked!! Where are my clothes!?!"
Fluff sat up and brushed at her belly fur, man that little guy was strong! He kicked like a mule! "I was just keeping you warm, you had a fever. No need to kick me like that!" She said.
"I...I'm sorry, Jeremy said, his head sticking up from under the blankets, but we're not supposed to do that, be in bed together, unless we're married. It's a great sin."
"Who the fuck said that? Fluff said, and we weren't doing anything, anyway!"
"My father, Jeremy said, only those who have been united in the eyes of the Lord can share a bed!"
"You Dad sounds like a real Killjoy." Fluff muttered.
"Oh no, he is a good man, righteous in the eyes of the Lord", Jeremy said.
"What is he, a priest?" Fluff said, as she got to her feet with another groan.
"Oh no, he was a Baptist preacher, not a Catholic." Jeremy said. Then he gave a squeak and pulled his head back under the covers.
"Will you come out of there, Fluff said, I don't like talking to a pile of bedding!"
"But you're naked!" Jeremy said.
"I'll put on my clothes, Fluff said, and slipped into her shorts and top. There, all safe." This was weird, she thought, she knew he was aroused, she could smell it, but he seemed almost terrified.
When Jeremy saw she was 'decent', he finally sat up and let the covers fall down around his waist. "I'm sorry I kicked you, he said, you just...surprised me."
"I'm sorry too", Fluff said rubbing her stomach, and dragged a chair up to the bed and sat down. "I wasn't trying to do anything to you, you know."
"I know, Jeremy said, but I've never been, I mean I've never..., y-you scared me."
"I'm sorry, Fluff said, I didn't mean to."
He's a virgin, she realized with genuine surprise. Despite his rather small size he was no child, he was an adult. And for an adult hare not to have at least mated with a doe in estrus was, well, she'd never heard of anything like that. It was downright...unnatural. No wonder he was confused! But why was he so scared?
"Where are we?" Jeremy asked, looking around nervously, ears flicking and nose twitching.
"Vets, Fluff replied. We brought you here, you were really sick. How do you feel now?"
"I feel OK, I guess, Jeremy said, but a little weak. I'm afraid I don't remember much. I remember the restaurant, but after that it gets kind of fuzzy."
"I'm not surprised, Fluff said, you were pretty much out of it. That's because you're malnourished, who did that to you? Weren't you being fed? We can eat grass and stuff you know, if we have too."
"I...I know, I did. Did you know dandelions are good?" Jeremy said.
"You bet, dandelion salad is one of my favorites, Fluff replied, but why are you so starved if you were eating dandelions and grass? It's not the best, but fills you up, and there's plenty of it almost everywhere."
"That was...after I...I got away, Jeremy said, on the way to the city. But I had to be careful, I didn't know what might make me sick."
"What do you mean 'got away', were you in a cage or something?" Fluff asked.
"Well, no, not a first, Jeremy said. Father didn't put me in the cage until I managed to get out of my room. He had to, to protect me."
"You WERE in a cage!?! Your FATHER kept you in a cage!?!" Fluff asked incredulously, ears rigid with shock and outrage.
"Only after I was bad, Jeremy said defensively, it was for my own good. He tried to drive the demon out by starving it."
"Demon? Starving?! WHAT demon!?!" Fluff asked.
"When I started changing, Jeremy said, my Father said I was being possessed, and when the Word of God and scouring couldn't drive out the demon, he had to take more drastic measures. He said it was Armageddon, and the damned were becoming beasts and would be cast out of paradise and burn in Hell forever. But I was weak; I couldn't stand it anymore, so I ran away, and the demon won."
"That, Fluff said, is fucked up bullcrap. Do you feel like a demon?"
She'd encountered religious zealots before that had a real problem with hares, and it really pissed her off. Most hares just wanted to be left alone, but those nuts just went out their way to make life miserable for them. There had been some major changes in religion since the virus, none of them good. In some cased hares had been hunted down and brutally killed.
"No, Jeremy sighed sadly, I don't feel evil, and I don't want to hurt anybody. I thought demons would have scales and bat wings, claws and fangs. And the other hares I've met were nice to me. But my Father wouldn't believe me; he said it was the beast trying to deceive him. So one time when he forgot to lock the cage after...after whipping me, I escaped. I guess I'm damned now, I was too weak in my faith."
Fluff got up and bent over the bed, and said, "Listen to me Jeremy, you are NOT damned, you are NOT a demon, and neither am I or any other hare! We're still the same people, only our bodies have changed, and I LIKE being like this! And you are NOT going to Hell!"
"But I...my father...he..." Jeremy stammered, his ears drooping. "I...I still love him, but he said...he said I wasn't his son anymore!" And then he started crying, sobbing and giving little choking wails of anguish.
Fluff sat on the bed and let him hug her, and held him while he sobbed and shook, and he held her tightly and buried his nose in her fur, and she gently nuzzled and licked him, tears welling from her own eyes. And they say we're the animals, she thought.
As we pulled up in front of the Vets office I asked John, "What do you think Fluff is going to do with him?"
John snorted, and said, "Adopt him, probably. She's always got one or two hares with no place to go under her wings."
"Like Zoe", I said.
"Exactly!" He replied.
"They're lucky. I said. I mean; to find someone who cares. And if it weren't for you and Tina I have no idea where I'd have ended up."
"Probably be living in a hole in a field somewhere." John said.
"You never know." I said as I followed him into the clinic's waiting room.
Seeing no one around, I stuck my head in the room where Jeremy was, and Fluff held her finger in front of her muzzle, and then getting up came to the door. She shut it quietly behind her, and joined us in the waiting room.
"Be quiet, Fluff said, he's sleeping again, poor guy."
"So, how's he doing?" John asked.
"Oh, he's OK now, Fluff said. The doctor came in awhile back and gave him another shot, but as far as she's concerned he can leave anytime. He's just so weak though. You will NOT believe what he thinks, and what was done to him. I could just KILL somebody!"
"Well, I said to John, if she decides to, you hold her off while I go get help." He didn't reply though, just made a rude noise.
"He thinks we're damned, and possessed by demons! Fluff said indignantly, and that he's evil! That we're all evil!"
"AH-HA, I KNEW IT!" John said, and made the sign of the cross at me, and I cringed and hissed, holding my hands over my head while he chased me around the office.
"HEY, Fluff said, it's NOT funny, damn it! For God's sake, his own father kept him a cage and starved and BEAT him to try and drive the 'demon' out! He could have died!"
"Holy crap, I said, that's...horrible!"
"We ought to go to the cops or something, John said, that's kidnapping and torture. That guy needs to be locked up!"
"Yeah, I said, and if that doesn't work we can beat the crap out of him, or something. Maybe lock him in a cage for a couple of years and give him catfood to eat."
"As much as I'd like to, Fluff said, it wouldn't do any good. He still loves his father, and blames himself. He went into town to buy some stuff and caught the virus, and when he started changing his father freaked out. He wouldn't press charges anyway. I asked."
"Well, what's he going to do now?" I asked.
"I'll take care of him until he figures things out, gets back on his feet." Fluff said.
"He'll have some back benefits from the Government coming, John said, and they may want to press charges. They frown on that kind of crap, even with hares. And religious beliefs are no defense, not when it comes to torture. Maybe we can help him find a job too. Does he have any education?"
"I don't know, Fluff said, we didn't talk about stuff like that, but he said he lived on a farm with his grandparents for awhile. Maybe he can get a job at a farm or dairy, they like to hire hares."
"Well, said John, what do you want to do for now?"
"I hate to wake him up, Fluff said; could you come back and give us a ride to the Bunny Hostel in a few hours? I don't have to work tonight, and can get him settled in and keep an eye on him."
"Sure, John said, we'll pick you up and drop you off at the hostel when we take Zoe to work at 'The Patch', she's got the evening shift and Peter wants to help put."
"It's not like I had a choice." I said. But I didn't really mind, just being around Zoe made me happy, and I loved to hang out at The Patch. It was one of the few places where I could really relax and take it easy.
"OK, John said, Peter and I are going to get a bite to eat, and we'll bring you and Jeremy something later, to eat at the hostel."
"Thanks", Fluff said, giving John an affectionate nose rub, much to his delight.
"Hey, what about me?" I whined.
She smiled, and gave me a nice long nose rub, and licked my nose too! And I felt a stirring in my sheath, God, what female! Then she whispered in my ear, "Anytime you want." And I had a big smile on my muzzle as we went out to the van.
Since the Vets office was way across town from 'The Patch' we looked for somewhere else to grab a bite to eat. Finally we picked a local 'greasy spoon' kind of place, mainly because it didn't have a 'No Hares Allowed' sign in a window.
"I used to eat here before I changed, John said, the food was pretty good. I got the Chef's Salad a couple of times, and it was decent. Lots of shredded cabbage and carrots."
As we pulled into the parking lot I looked at the beat-up pickups and older model; equally beat-up, cars in the lot, and said, "Man, I don't know about this."
"Don't worry, John said, not everyone hates us."
Gee, could have fooled me, I thought.
Once we were inside John asked a waitress if they served 'our kind', and when she gave him a nod we found seats in the last booth way in the back. The looks we got varied from curious to outright glares. The waitress was courteous enough though, and it turned out she remembered John from 'before', and we relaxed a little after that. We both ordered the Chef's Salad, less the meat, and a V-8. The food WAS good, and we were about half way through when the trouble started.
I didn't even look up when the door buzzer sounded, but John glanced up, and then quickly looked back down again, and tucked his ears behind his head. I could tell he was worried, his scent and body language made that clear. My vision was blocked by the back of the seat, and since I'd have to turn my head and lean out to see, I just kept staring forward and tucked my own ears so it would make us harder to see in the high backed booths.
Nothing happened for a few minutes, and then a big guy in a vest with a flaming skull embroidered on it walked past the booth to the bathroom, and then paused when he saw us. We just ignored him. After he came back out of the bathroom he went back to his booth, and I flicked my ears and tried to hear the muffled voices coming from it. Then it got quiet for a few seconds, and I heard the sound of chairs being pushed back. Here it comes, I thought.
"Shit." John said quietly.
I tried to ignore the men as they walked up to the booth, and kept eating. John did too. But they weren't having any of that.
"I didn't know this place was a barn now, since when have they been serving stinking animals?" One man said.
I wouldn't talk, I thought. He reeked of stale smoke, vomit, drugs, sour beer, and I doubt he'd had a bath since Reagan was president. But I kept my mouth shut. There were four of them, and I recognized their vests logo, they were members of a gang called 'The Skulls', and they'd been giving hares a hard time, we all knew about them. Hell, they gave EVERYone a hard time! They were equal opportunity assholes.
"Yeah, said another, it stinks in here! Better make them leave before they shit all over the place."
"Hey, the waitress yelled, you leave them alone, they aren't doing anything!"
"Shut up, bitch!" one of the men snapped, and I tensed. If they wanted trouble, I'd do my best to comply. I wasn't one to back down, though it usually got the floor wiped with my ass.
One of the men reached out and knocked over my glass of water. "Ooops." He said. Another tapped the ashes off his cigarette into John's salad. "Aw, gee, look at that, it's all ruined."
"Look, John said, we don't want any trouble. We'll leave."
"Oh, said the first man, you should have thought of that before you came in here, and it's too late to leave now little bunny rabbit. This here is our territory, and we don't like no bunnies messing it up. And I want me a lucky rabbit's foot."
I was getting ready; gathering my legs, to come out of the booth without warning and as suddenly as I could, when the door buzzer sounded again.
"Jeez, it's the cops, one of the men whispered, knock it off Mike! It's the heat!"
The four thugs slowly backed away from the table, and two cops came over, and one asked, "Any trouble here?"
"No officer, John said, we were just leaving anyway." And when he got up I followed him. As we paid at the register, the waitress said,
"You come back anytime you want; you tip better then those assholes anyway."
"Thanks, John said, but we don't want to cause any trouble for you. Thanks for the salads, they were good."
"YOU weren't causing any trouble, dearie." The waitress called after us.
As John started the van, I nodded at the four motorcycles parked out front. "Should we?" I asked.
John gripped the wheel hard, then relaxed, and said, "Nope, at least not with the cops here."
Frankly I didn't think the cops would have been terribly upset if we had a little 'accident' and flattened the bikes, but I didn't say anything. We drove for awhile with neither of us saying anything, John fuming. And I had enough sense not to say 'I told you so' for once. Finally he said, rather loudly.
"ASSHOLES!"
"Hey, I said, you're telling me, did you get a whiff of that first guy? I mean, P-U. Hadn't he ever heard of soap?"
"I'm sorry, John said, I just get tired of all the crap. Every punk and lowlife bully in the world likes to pick on us because we just sit and take it! And no one lifts a finger to help!"
"The cops stopped them", I pointed out.
"Yeah, he said, but they can't be there all of the time. We need to start standing up for ourselves."
"What, I said, you mean form our own gangs? If we did that we wouldn't be much better then they are."
"Yeah, I know, he said. Assholes."
As we pulled up at the house, he said, "Look, don't tell Tina, OK?"
"About what?" I replied innocently, and he smiled.
John tinkered around for awhile; with what I have no idea, and I watched the TV. Some senator was yelling about something, and a hare in a three piece suit (that looked ridiculous in my opinion) was yelling back at him, and from the set of his ears he was really pissed off. The announcer said the House was going to vote on the 'Hare Citizenship Amendment Bill' in the near future, as soon as all the debates were over. If it passed it would make hares basically second class citizens, and I had a feeling if it did pass it would hit the fan. Part of the Bill wanted to kick out any hares in the armed forces, and off of police forces. That wouldn't go over very well, I thought. There were more then just a few, though most had been put on paid leave. I almost fell asleep; politics bore me to death, when John yelled,
"Come on Peter, go wake up Zoe, we need to pick up Fluff!"
I was halfway up the stairs to the apartment when the door opened and Zoe came out. "Hi, she said, I heard. I was already up though."
"Good, I said, I thought I was going to have to throw a bucket of water on you."
"You do, and you'd better hope I don't catch you!" Zoe giggled.
"Why not?" I teased.
"Oh, I'd do horrible things to you!" Zoe said.
"Wait here while I get the bucket." I leered, and smiled when Zoe squealed in laughter.
"You're horrible!" She said.
As she passed me on the stairs, I said, "Would you like some candy, little girl?" And then tried to bite her on the throat, and chased her to the van while she squealed in mock terror.
"You two are like three year olds." John said.
"Yeah, ain't it great?" I said, then pounced on Zoe in the back seat, and nibbled on her ears while she squealed in delight.
We started to pull out, but then Tina came running out, yelling, "Hey, don't forget to give this food to Fluff and her friend! And YOU stay out of it!" she told me as she handed me the hamper.
Aw, man! I thought. Boy, it sure smelled good.
When we got to the Vet's we all piled out and went inside; and the Vet was at the reception desk taking to Fluff, and I just couldn't help it.
"Eh, what's up, doc?" I said.
"Oh, boo!" Fluff said, and made a face. Zoe giggled. John just rolled his eyes, and I heard him mutter 'three year olds'.
The Vet smiled, and when she said, "Oh dear, wait here while I get my spear and magic helmet, its wabbit season!" we all cracked up.
The Vet wanted to waive the bill, but John insisted on paying, and said 'We're not all deadbeats, you know.' And while he and the doc took care of business Zoe and I escorted Fluff and Jeremy out to the van. The little buck was wearing a robe that was much too big for him; he looked like a monk, as it turned out Fluff had chucked his clothes, she said they were 'nasty'. He was real quiet, and stared at us all with big curious/scared eyes. Zoe wanted to be friendly, but Fluff shooed her away.
"Give him some room, Fluff said, he's still pretty shook up." Then, nose twitching, she asked, "What's this?" sniffing at the hamper.
"It's some stuff Tina fixed for you and Jeremy, hope you like it, John said, if Peter hasn't eaten it already."
"Hey, I said indignantly, I didn't touch it! Zoe did."
"Did NOT!" Zoe squealed in mock outrage, and even Jeremy sniggered.
We dropped Fluff and Jeremy off at 'The Bunny Hostel', and waited until they got inside, then took off for 'The Patch'. John dropped Zoe and me off, and then left. We'd already made arrangements for a ride home, and since it was Sunday the place wouldn't be staying open as late as usual. It wasn't as crowded as usual either, so I just drifted around and tried not to get in the way. After wandering into the kitchen a couple of times I was evicted, and ended up at a corner table with a buck named Lou that worked for John. We nursed ginger fizzes and passed the time 'grape juggling'. He won. The loser bought another round of ginger fizzes.
After eating the food Tina had given them; Jeremy wolfing his down, Fluff got Jeremy installed in a spare bed in the suite she shared with several other hares, both does and bucks. Her own bed was next to his, and they had the room to themselves. There were two other rooms in the suite, and they all shared a communal bath, but no one else was home. She'd introduce him to the others after he felt better, and was up and about. She was going to leave and go down to the lobby for awhile; or maybe the rec room they'd set up and play some ping-pong, but Jeremy sat up, and said,
"F-Fluff, please don't go yet."
She could tell he was still a little bit scared and unsure of his new surrounding, so she laid down on her own bed, still wearing her clothes, and said, "Sure honey, I'm tired anyway. Let's get some sleep." She waited until he was asleep, then slipped out of her clothes and slipped under her own covers; even though she usually slept on top. In warm weather her fur was more then adequate, but it was a little chilly that night. Soon she fell asleep too.
Ruby got out of her car and looked nervously at the restaurant, 'The Clover Patch Café' was an old renovated red brick building, and she was a little surprised by the boards over the front windows. She'd heard about the place from John and Peter, and finally her curiosity had gotten the better of her. But she wasn't sure what her welcome would be like, from what she'd heard it was pretty much a 'hares only' establishment, but at least there wasn't a 'No Humans Allowed' sign out front. Well, here goes, she thought. As she got nearer she could hear an old BTO tune playing, 'Taking Care of Business' and she smiled; at least the music was good.
When Ruby came in the front door the checkout counter was vacant, and uncertainly she went to a door to the room the music and sounds of voices was coming from, but it sounded different, as squeals, chuffs, and squeaks were mixed in. She hesitated in the doorway as she looked around, and it got quiet, and she found a couple of dozen hares all looking at her, ears standing up. Bob Seger's 'Old Time Rock and Roll' was just starting to play, but it was the only sound. I think I just made a big mistake, she thought.
"I'm-I'm sorry, I just..." She said, and started to back up.
I was dozing off a little, when suddenly everything got too quiet, and sitting up I looked where everyone else was looking, and there was a human female standing in the door. From the body language and scents the reactions varied between curiosity to outright resentment, and though she wasn't a hare she was still picking up on the hostility. She stammered something, and started to leave, but I jumped up, and yelled,
"Hi Ruby, I'm over here!"
Ruby was a little startled when someone yelled her name, and felt intense relief as she recognized Peter. He got up and made his way over to her, and after rubbing his nose against hers, he said,
"Thought you weren't going to make it, hey everyone, this is my friend Ruby; we work at the same place."
She was surprised at the results of his little announcement, most of the hares broke in to smiles, and some even said, 'Hi Ruby', and/or 'Welcome to The Patch!', as he led her to his table. One doe even stood up and gave her a quick nose rub, and when she returned it the doe was delighted. As soon as she sat down everything went back to normal, and she didn't feel quite so unwelcome anymore.
"Sorry about that, Peter said, we don't get, um, many humans here. But since I vouched for you it's no problem. We do have human friends who drop in from time to time. You should have told me you wanted to come, I'd have been glad to take you."
"It's OK, Ruby said, I was just kind of lonely, and thought I'd check it out, you made it sound like a nice place."
"A-hem, who's your, um, friend?" Lou asked.
"What, oh, sorry, Ruby, this is Lou, Lou, this is Ruby." I said.
"Hi Lou, it's nice to meet you", Ruby said with a big smile, which Lou returned, and he asked, "Can I get you a ginger fizz? Afraid they don't serve any alcohol, or sodas. Sorry."
"Sure, that sounds good." Ruby said, then asked me, "Why no sodas, I know you don't like booze."
"It's the sugar, I said, and the diet ones taste like battery acid."
Ruby giggled, and said, "How do you know, do you drink battery acid?"
"No, I said, but if I did I'd bet it tastes like a diet coke."
"Well, Ruby said, you're probably right, it IS nasty."
"Hi, who's your friend?" The waitress asked as she took Lou's order.
"Suzy, this is Ruby, I said, she works for John too."
"Oh, THAT Ruby! Welcome to The Patch." Suzy said, and took off to get our drinks.
Ruby raised her eyebrows, and said "What's she mean by, 'THAT' Ruby?"
"Oh, I squeaked, I told some of my friends about you; and when her eyebrows went higher, I quickly added, not about any private stuff, just how nice you are!"
"Well, OK, I think." Ruby said.
I was saved from further embarrassment when the drinks arrived, and Ruby giggled when she took a sip, and said, "The bubbles are tickling my nose!"
"That's why they're so good." Lou said.
As she sipped her drink Ruby looked around in interest. The crowd of milling happy hares reminded her of something out of a fairy tale book, and she found the thick animal musk pleasant enough, if a little cloying. Good thing I don't have any allergies to animal dander, she thought. There was little of the loud rowdiness she was used to at 'human' places, though the music and voices and other sounds were pretty loud. It looked like everyone was having a good time.
Pretty soon our table was very popular as hare after hare 'wandered' by to say 'hello' and meet the human female. Of course some of the bucks were a little, er, obvious about their 'interest', at least to us. Lou and I managed to 'fight' them off though by signaling them with our ears and other body language that their interest was inappropriate. None of them pushed the issue, though I would have been surprised if they had. We don't fight over females, unless they're in estrus, and even then she picks her mate. While it wasn't terribly unusual to see a human at The Patch, she was a very pretty human. And boy did she enjoy the attention, and the looks she gave some of the bucks were pretty obvious as well. I knew she had a thing for 'furries', and figured she must be really enjoying herself.
Fluff sat up, startled, as she heard a hare cry out in fear, and looking over at Jeremy she could see he was kicking and squealing in fright, and also realized he was still asleep.
"D-Daddy, don't, eee-eeeek, please stop!! Y-You're hurting me! Eeee-eeekk!" The little buck pleaded as he struggled in his sleep.
Hopping out of her bed Fluff went over and sat down on his bed, and gave him a gentle shake. "Jeremy, honey, wake up, you're having a nightmare!"
Jeremy suddenly stopped struggling, and sobbed, "Why did he do that, beat me like that!" I'm still ME, I'm not a monster!"
"I don't know, baby", Fluff said as she stroked his ears, some people just can't accept what we are now. They don't understand we're still the same inside." He calmed down fairly quickly, but when she tried to pull away, he held her arm, and begged,
"P-Please, I don't want to be alone. Please, don't go."
"OK, I'll stay as long as you want me too", Fluff said, and slipped under the covers with him. He fell asleep again fairly soon, and she held him close and gently nibbled and licked his ears as he slept soundly. He didn't seem to notice they were both naked, but she didn't try and take advantage of that fact, it wouldn't have been right. But she did enjoy the feeling of his warm body next to hers, and his male scent as she comforted him.
Ruby and Lou were getting along really well, and we were all having a pretty good time, when Lou suddenly asked, "How'd you like to go upstairs?"
"Lou! I hissed in shock, and gave him a kick under the table, she's not a doe!"
"Oh, Lou said, ears flattening, I'm sorry! I forgot, I didn't mean...oh...it's just...you're so...!"
"Lou, I said, just shut UP! I'm sorry Ruby, he didn't mean anything."
Ruby looked from Lou to Peter, and asked questioningly, "What's he mean, go upstairs?"
"Ruby, I said, there are some rooms upstairs where we go, when, well, we want to be, er, intimate. I told you, we're different that way. He didn't mean to insult you or anything."
"I'm really sorry, Lou said, I didn't mean to be rude. It's just you're so...so open, you're not like most other humans I know."
Ruby's eyes opened wide as she realized what Peter meant, and was a little bit shocked despite her 'relationship' with him, but this was the first time she'd been in a social setting with other hares. But then she realized it really wasn't all that different, just faster and a little more direct. She'd had guys ask her to 'go upstairs' more than once, but usually after getting to know her better. But like Peter said, it was different here. She looked at Lou appraisingly, and said, "That's OK, I'm not offended. I'd love to go upstairs with you."
"Really?!" Lou and I said at the same time, and his ears stood straight up.
Ruby had a sudden evil thought, "That is, if Peter can come too?"
"REALLY?!" Lou and I said again; my own ears standing up straight, and we looked at each other in amazement, and maybe just a little bit of shock. It wasn't the kind of offer we got every day.
"Uh, I'm OK with that", Lou said, nose twitching.
I was a little more hesitant, what with Zoe working in the kitchen, but I knew she'd be OK with it. She was my mate, but she knew about Ruby's and my 'affair', so I decided, what the heck! Might be fun. And I had to admit I was curious, I'd never been involved in a threesome before. I wondered if Ruby, or Lou, had.
In fact Ruby had, with more than two other partners more than once as well, but never with hares. She was dying to find out what it would be like. "Well, Peter?" She asked quietly.
I flicked my ears uncertainly, and then made up my mind, and said, "Sounds good to me."
"Great, Ruby said, lead the way."
We got some stares as we made our way to the stairs, some a little shocked or surprised; others outright envious. But there weren't any of outright disapproval. I would have been surprised if there had been. It wasn't that unusual for more than one buck to go upstairs with a doe, especially if they were in season, or for that matter more than one doe with a buck. And the occasional orgy was not unheard of, but I'd never taken part in one, mainly because I'd never been lucky enough to be around when one started. I'm afraid our sexual morals are pretty loose compared to when we were human, but we won't apologize for it.
Lou and I were both pretty large for hares, and his pelt was a medium brown with dark chocolate markings, and whereas the inside of my ears is more of a grey, his are pinker, which the does really like. As soon as we got to a room we didn't waste much time, we were both excited by the scent of Ruby's own arousal, and slipped out of our shorts right away. Then we 'helped' Ruby get undressed, and didn't bother to fold her clothes I'm afraid, and they ended up strewn all over the place, and we never did find one of her socks. We were both rampant by then; our cocks fully extended from our sheaths, and when Ruby knelt down in front of us and began fondling our hairy balls I smiled at Lou's look of utter delight; you, I thought, are going to love this! Then I gave a moan of pleasure as Ruby's tongue wrapped around my cock and started sliding up and down its rigid shaft.
Ruby giggled as the two obviously aroused bucks helped her get her clothes off; or more correctly tore them off, and then stood back and looked at them while they looked at her. She liked the contrast of Peter's mostly grey fur compared to Lou's mostly brown, and to her satisfaction Lou was just as well endowed as Peter was, his rampant slick looking cock a slightly darker color the Peter's. She squatted down in front of the two males, and reaching up gently hefted and kneaded their warm furry balls, then tongued each cock in turn, licking at drops of welling pre. Mmmm, she thought, this is going to be...fantastic. She loved the little squeaks and grunts they made as she pleasured them, their hands gently holding her head, fingers running through her hair.
I had hoped she'd 'prime the pump' like she usually did, but I guess with two bucks ready and eager, she couldn't wait that long. When she finally stood up after bringing us both to the brink more than once we both eagerly nobbled her face and shoulders, rubbing our noses against her and licking her; churring softly, her sweet female scent and taste increasing our arousal, our hands fondling her large breasts and rigid nipples, cupping her rear, and she groaned when Lou lowered his head and gently nibbled one of her nipples. She smelled different then a doe, but was still very much a female, our noses twitching as we eagerly took in her scent. We guided her over to the bed, never stopping our attentions, and while she lay on her back with her legs hanging off the side we went to work on her.
Ruby grunted and moaned in pleasure as Lou licked and 'nobbled'; she loved that word, her head and breasts, and lifting her head she could see Peter's head bobbing between her spread legs as he 'ate' her, the soft wet slurps as erotic as Hell. And his tongue inside of her, oh, it felt wonderful! She squealed as his warm wet nose suddenly rubbed against her sensitive swollen clitoris, and his tongue pulled out and then traced her labial lips, slowly and purposely as he lapped at her sex. Oh, oh, OH, she thought, he knows what that's doing to me! With a grunt she sat up, and pushed Peter away from between her legs, then rolled over on her stomach, leaning against the bed with her feet resting on the floor. And as Peter mounted her she gasped in pleasure, and then opened her mouth to accept Lou's throbbing cock, eagerly tonguing the rigid shaft as it slid down her throat, his pre sweet and salty. Then she began to tongue and suck his cock as Peter fucked her energetically with a rapid powerful rhythm, hilting with each thrust.
Oh God, I thought, oh GOD! As I lunged into Ruby, my furry thighs slapping against her soft rump, and squealing in pleasure I watched as she sucked Lou's cock, and the brown buck had his head thrown back and was making deep grunting gasps of pleasure, his whole body trembling and shuddering as he ran his fingers through her hair. Every time I pulled back for another thrust Ruby's vaginal muscles clenched around my aching cock like she wasn't going to let me go, and then would suck me back in, and against that kind of stimulation I couldn't hold back for very long, and gave a loud squeal of ecstasy as I orgasmed violently. Almost as if my squeal had been a signal Lou squealed too, and I heard Ruby sucking eagerly as she swallowed his cum. We looked at one another, smiled, and changed positions.
Ruby groaned in pleasure as Lou mounted her, and reaching up guided Peter's slick cock into her mouth. She hadn't cum yet, but as Lou started fucking her energetically she smiled around the rigid cock filling her mouth and throat, and she knew they were just getting started. If Peter was the norm, they'd have about three orgasms for her one, but that was just fine, she loved the feel of hot cum filling her sex and belly. And the best thing was, she didn't have to worry about protection, they couldn't knock her up and carried no venereal diseases. She reached around and gripped Peter's furry butt, and the feel of Lou's furry thighs slapping into her rump as he humped her was wonderful, she loved the feel of their soft warm fur against her own naked skin, their thick rigid cocks buried deep in her body.
After we'd taken turns servicing Ruby; and getting sucked off, a few times each, we tried some new positions. By having her lay on the edge of the bed on her back, her legs hanging over the edge, we found we could service her fairly comfortably, the angle right for all of us. Normally hares don't couple in the 'missionary' position, but she enjoyed it, and so did we. As I fucked her I looked down and kneaded her large tits as they jiggled in rhythm with my thrusts, her face buried in Lou's belly fur as she sucked him, her muffled moans of pleasure really turning us on. Man, I thought, she's wearing us both out! What a female! I wondered if all human females liked cock as much as Ruby did, but kind of doubted it. Clenching my eyes shut I gave a loud squeal as I climaxed again, and felt a hot spurt of her own orgasmic juices as she gave a muffled scream of pleasure, then while she kept working on Lou I cleaned her sex with my tongue, her pussy quivering as I 'groomed her'. A short time later Lou's squeal of release came, and I hopped up in bed, and she lay between us as we all caught our breath.
Ruby thought, I've died and gone to hare heaven, as she lay between the two bucks and gently ran their soft ears through her fingers, both of them giving squeaks of pleasure as each one caressed one of her breasts and gently licked and sucked her nipples. Five times, they'd made her cum five times! And she'd lost track of how many times they'd blasted their seed into her eager body, on both ends. She doubted she could have performed like this with human males. There was just something about coupling with what were almost animals, though she didn't think of them that way. They were her lovers, in every sense of the word. But she knew many human women would have been appalled and horrified by what they would consider an act of bestiality, but that was just because they didn't know what they were missing. When Lou slid down her body to her waist she smiled and spread her legs, here we go again, she thought in delight, gasping as his tongue plunged into her sex, and Peter pressed his muzzle against her lips, his tongue sliding into her mouth as he caressed her breasts. Heaven!
When we finally wandered back downstairs quite some time later we didn't try to hide the fact of what we'd been doing, there was no way we could. Our scents told everyone everything, and Ruby blushed and Lou and I tucked our ears in embarrassment as we got a loud cheer and applause. Later I heard we'd been quite vocal as well, even more so then usual for coupling hares. And when I was asked; quite frankly, about what it had been like with a human female, I just said 'fantastic'. And after that Ruby was accepted as 'one of the drove', and became a regular at The Patch, spending a lot of her time 'upstairs', much to the extreme delight of lots of bucks.
We plopped back down at our table, exhausted. Lou looked bedraggled, but happy, and I'm sure I did too. Ruby, on the other hand, was positively radiant. Jeez, I thought, next time we'll need some more help! I wonder what a foursome, or fivesome, would be like? Now THAT would certainly be interesting, to say the least! I had no doubt we wouldn't have any trouble finding 'volunteers'. The woman is instatiable!
Later when Zoe joined us during a break, she took one sniff, and leaning over she nibbled my ear, and whispered, "You'd better have saved some for me!" Busted!
It was about an hour to closing time when suddenly I heard the sound of engines revving outside, and heard some loud voices. I got up, along with several other bucks and does, and we went to see what the ruckus was all about. There were a couple of sports cars in the parking lot with eight humans, men and women, in them. A few got out, and one yelled,
"Hey, little bunny foo-foo, we want some Easter eggs!" And the rest hooted and hollered. Then they started singing, really badly, 'There Goes Peter Cottontail'.
"Jerkoffs, a doe muttered.
I gave the buck next to me a nudge, and said, "Come on, I've got an idea!" Then he followed me as I went back to the kitchen. Despite protests from Zoe and the other kitchen staff we soon had what we'd come for, and when we got back to the front I laid several cartons of eggs on the counter, and said,
"They want eggs, let's give them eggs!" And with eager squeals of delight all the hares soon had several eggs each. Then we poured out the front door and let them have exactly what they'd asked for.
"Ready, Aim, FIRE!" I yelled, and we let them have a volley, and our aim was deadly.
The cars were soon plastered with eggs, as well as the humans who had gotten out, and since the windows were down I'm pretty sure the insides got decorated with more than a few eggs as well. Followed by jeers and squeals of laughter the two cars peeled out of the parking lot; followed by one human on foot yelling 'Hey, wait for me!', and took off.
When we got back inside Brent and Trixie; who owned the place, were waiting for us, and Brent said, "OK, who's paying for the four cartoons of eggs?"
Everybody pointed at me, and said, "It was his idea!" Brent made us all chip in though, but the grumbling was all good natured. It had been worth it. Then; since it was almost closing time, most of the rest left, and I helped Zoe and the other close up and clean up. Then we caught a ride home with a couple of other hares that also worked in the kitchen and waited tables. They had a little compact with a sunroof, and it must have looked funny going down the rode with four pairs of long fuzzy ears sticking out of the top and blowing back in the wind.
After they dropped us off we snuck up the stairs as quietly as we could as it was getting late and John and Tina were already in bed. We let ourselves in without turning any lights on; we could see just fine, and shed out clothes on the way to the bedroom. It didn't take long, I had on a pair of shorts, and Zoe had on shorts and a top. That was it, no underwear, we don't need it and it's too damn hot and uncomfortable.
By the time we reached the bed things were getting serious, and Zoe bent over the bed and gave a soft squeal of pleasure as I mounted her. I fucked her nice and slow, burying my nose in the soft warm fur on the back of her neck, my eyes closed from the ecstasy as I made love to my mate. It was different then with other females, and no matter how many times I did it was still new and wonderful. I would speed up for awhile, and then slow down as I nibbled at her ears, and she gave muffled squeals and moans of pleasure and her hands bunched up the sheets as she clawed at them. Then I sped up again, and we both climaxed at the same time, my body shuddering as my cum blasted into her, and she gave a soft cry of release. I rested for awhile, licking her fur, and then started thrusting again, that had just been for openers, we were just getting started. And I had indeed saved plenty for her.
Finally, over an hour, and several incredibly pleasurable couplings later, I dismounted for the last time, and she curled up next to me and we fell asleep with our noses buried in one another's fur, as happy and content as we could be.
Fluff knew Jeremy had been awake for awhile, lying next to her in the dark, his breath warm on her fur. They were pressed closely together, and she could scent his growing arousal, and gently nibbled on of his soft ears. He gave a little shudder, and licked her nose hesitantly, and when she licked him back, he said,
"I...I've never...you're so...so pretty...you smell so nice..."
Fluff could tell he was still a little scared, and unsure of himself, but his scent told her he was also becoming very aroused, and her own scent was changing as she responded to his male pheromones.
"It's OK, she said, I won't make you do anything you don't want to."
"It's, it's...wrong." He whispered hoarsely.
"No, it's natural, and wonderful.", Fluff said quietly, and taking his hand she placed it on one of her breasts, and he gave a soft gasp, then he began to gently squeeze her breast and run his fingers over her nipple.
"Umm, Fluff murmured, that's nice, don't stop."
"It's so soft; Jeremy said breathlessly, I didn't think it would be so soft."
Fluff gave a soft squeal of pleasure as his mouth suddenly closed over her nipple, and he began to gently suck as he ran his fingers through her fur and fondled and rubbed her other breasts and now rigid nipples. He was inexperienced, but more than made up for it with his almost frantic desperation. She ran a hand through his belly fur, and finding his warm furry sheath and balls she gave them a gentle squeeze, and he gave a soft squeal of pleasure, then she slid her hand up to his rampant erection, and gently caressed it and he gave a deep moan of need, his whole body trembling. She was pleased; he was quite large in spite of his small body size, his penis thick and long. Knowing he was ready she slid the covers off their bodies, and getting up she got down on all fours, crouching and lifting her tail, and giving a soft moan, said,
"I'm ready Jeremy, I need you!", and looked submissively over her shoulder.
Jeremy panted, his cock so hard it hurt, as he looked at the doe crouching in front of him presenting herself to him, tail raised, the lips of her sex glistening in the dim light from the hotel sign outside the window. He was so confused, how could anything so NEEDful be evil?? He'd never been with a female before, had never felt such a feeling before, such intense lust, and as his instincts overwhelmed his remaining inhibitions he positioned himself and mounted her, giving a shrill squeal of agonizing ecstasy as he slid into her warm slick sex. Leaning forward he hooked his arms in front of her legs and began to service her as hard and fast as he could, gasping and grunting in pleasure. Oh, oh, ohhhh God, it feels so good, it hurts so...good!!! He thought, and as the pleasure and pain peaked and became unbearable he bit the back of her neck as he reached his first orgasm, his cock throbbing and pulsing as he came, and came...
Fluff gave a soft grunt of pleasure as Jeremy's weight settled onto her back as he mounted her, and then began fucking her with fast desperate thrusts, and the sheer intensity as he serviced her was exhilarating, his own intense need driving her own to an incredibly high level of pleasure and need, and so; even despite the short coupling, she climaxed just as violently as he did, and she gave a loud squeal of ecstasy as he bit her neck and poured his cum into her with long powerful blasts. Then with a final groan he slid from her, and collapsed. It had been a short violent rutting, more animal then human, and she was more than satisfied by the little buck's attentions. She lay down next to him, and said,
"That was wonderful, Jeremy."
"I...I didn't think...didn't know it would be like that!" He said breathlessly. "It was...it was amazing, you're so...so beautiful. I-I never thought...!? It wasn't evil, it w-was wonderful!"
Fluff smiled, and said, "What a sweet thing to say, but I hope you're not...through." Then she reached down and cupped his balls, and he raised his head and watched as she kneaded and fondled them, his nice large cock still rampant and rigid, pre dribbling from the throbbing tip.
"A-Again...?" He gasped, and then moaned as she gave his balls a gentle squeeze.
"Oh yes, Fluff said, the things we're going to do, the things I'll show you, my horny little buck!"
Jeremy could only lie helplessly; panting in lust, as Fluff straddled him, and then lowered herself onto his aching cock, and he squealed as she impaled herself and he slid deeply into her slick eager sex again, then threw his head back squealing softy, and gently pawed at her breasts as she rode him.
"Eee-eeekk!! Uggghh, ohhh, uggghhh, eeeeeek!!" Jeremy gasped in ecstasy. How could anything this wonderful be evil?? He looked up at Fluff as she gave him more pleasure then he'd ever thought possible, his hands roaming over her breasts and large rigid nipples, his balls rubbing against her furry thighs every time she ground down on him; and then all thoughts were drowned in sheer excruciating waves of ecstasy, again and again...
The End
