Episode 9:

Don’t call me babe

Joseph climbed out of the cab, giving the driver a wave of thanks as he walked to the small hotel that had half the rooms booked by the touring group. The tour had been going for nearly a month now and after the first few shows, Karen, or Mocha as it were, had hit her stride.

The shows were electric with the crowd practically worshiping the idols while the two dogs kept them supported in the background. Isaac had even gotten to play bodyguard a few times, the large red wolf making a striking figure on the stage. It didn’t take long before the rumors had gotten back around in the fandom of him being Karen’s husband.

Thankfully the boys were mostly less harassed by the general public, only the truly excitable fans really even recognizing them, unlike the girls who couldn’t go anywhere without being incognito. Not that the rabbit or calico really had any time for that.

“Hey, there’s the wayward fox,” Isaac barked out with a wide grin as Joseph pushed the door to the room open after tucking his keycard back in his pocket.

Karen perked her ears from the sofa and sang out melodically, “Carry on my wayward fox, there’ll be peace when you uh…” She put her paw to her muzzle in thought.

“Box? I mean he is trained in Muay Thai?” Isaac showed his wife a grin.

“That’s too easy, I mean box and fox?” Ivory giggled as she hopped up with a slight bounce of her breasts in the oversized t-shirt she wore, trotting over to greet her husband. “Hm hm… I’d do it in a box with this fox though… Wanna get a scotch on the rocks, then make the bus’s shocks, rock… a lot, Joe?” Ivory purred out in her own cooed tone as she wrapped her arms around her husband’s neck.

He offered up a small growl as Ivory kissed him with her mouth already parted and head tilting, their muzzles locking in a practiced heated kiss, tongue flicking a few times before they parted and she huffed against his color. “Okay, I only barely smell wolf and ram on him, I think he behaved,” Ivory purred out with a grin.

“Give me a break, baby, you think I’ve got any energy left between you three?” Joseph laughed then looked over to Isaac with a pleading look. “Please tell me there’s coffee?”

“Ta-da.” Isaac declared coolly as he held up a steaming mug and laid it down on the counter bar near the small kitchenette of the hotel room.

Karen gave her manager a few moments to sip his coffee before asking, “So how did it go?”

Joseph perked his ears and pulled from his mug. “Really great, love-bunny! Tracey and Leo are down for the co-op performance. They’ll be joining us for tomorrow’s show, then we’ll be joining them the following evening for theirs!”

“I never doubted you, foxy. You’re one smooth operator when it comes to negotiations like that.” Isaac folded his arms, grinning at his lover with a nod.

“Yeah, great job, hon!” Ivory mewed out with approval.

“Mhm, wonderful job, my fox,” Karen said in a loving tone, offering him a smile.

Joseph wagged his tail, feeling his cheeks grow warm at all the praise as he rubbed the back of his head. “It wasn’t that big of a deal guys…” His ears lifted as if remembering something. “Oh hey, by the way, Tracey and Leo find themselves in a pretty interesting situation!”

“Oh yeah? What are those love birds working on?” Ivory asked with a quirk of her furred brow.

“Well, Tracey took me aside and was asking about… well, us! Like, I mean, all of us!” Joseph spread his paws out to the room, his three lovers looking surprised, Isaac looking more shocked.

“Wait… us? as in, like wanting to do something with all of us?” Isaac barked out in confusion.

Joseph yipped and shook his head. “What? No no, I mean she was curious about how our lifestyle worked.”

“Excuse you, honey? Look I know she’s a wolf even if half-fur and hot, but still, that’s where your mind went right away?” Karen squeaked out with a cross look on her face.

Isaac gave his own awkward bark. “Wait, Angel, it’s not like that! I just…”

“The most stoic and mature one is also the pervert whose mind goes straight there huh? Go figure,” Ivory giggled.

“Hey, give me a break. I just wasn’t sure what spin Joe had on all this,” Isaac responded with a fussy look, almost as if pouting at the girls picking on him.

“You’re so cute when you’re flustered, Isaac,” Joseph confessed with a growl, moving over to put a paw on his chest.

“We were just teasing you anyway, honey.” Karen smiled then tilted her head as she continued, “Sweetie, what did they have to say?”

“Oh, right! Well, you know Flia Price?” He asked the room.

“Hard not to, little bitch blew by my best single like it was nothing, then sat at number one for… fuck a few months I think?” Ivory groaned and put a paw on her hip. “Maybe if I start flashing pantie shots and showing more of my tits I could get a top spot for that long too.”

Joseph gave her a frown. “Oh, come on, baby. You know that kind of stuff won’t keep you on the top spots, you gotta really have it dialed in. Flia has been touring since she was fifteen, and she…”

“Yeah yeah, what about her?” Ivory hissed out, paws on her hips, already glaring at her husband for not taking her side of things.

“Seems Tracey, her, and Leo are possibly gonna start a whole thing together.” Joseph shrugged as he explained.

“Interesting, and they want to talk to us about how we handle it?” Isaac asked.

“Pretty much. I even told Tracey she might want to pick your brain in specific Isaac, seeing as you two are around the same age range.” Joseph grinned but then frowned at the clearly annoyed huff behind him from Karen.

“Okay, I was joking before, but are you trying to put my husband in a compromising spot, Joe? I’ve seen how ‘Ruby Thunder’ looks, and them being the same age range to boot?”

“Don’t worry, Angel, I’m rock solidly yours and these two’s. I really won’t be put off by the whole thing. She’s pretty but I know she’s just wanting some advice, and given what Joe said, I probably am the best one to talk to her, you know?”

“So does this mean I get to take that cute ram out to explain things as well?” Ivory purred with a smug grin showing across her muzzle, seeing both dogs perk their ears at that.

“Maybe we should both go take Electric Blue out and explain how the lifestyle works, his name is Leo, right?” Karen chimed in with her own sing-song voice.

Joseph frowned but Isaac just folded his arms. “You’re welcome to come with me if you’re so worried about it. No need to be like that, Ivory,” the wolf sighed as he spoke.

“You guys are no fun sometimes!” Ivory mewed out as she moved over to flop on the sofa next to her girlfriend, Karen snuggling up to her.

“I trust you, honey, so I’ll stop picking on you,” Karen hummed out while hugging Ivory.

“Anyway, we won’t have a ton of time to prepare for the joint shows, so we need to meet up early at the venue tomorrow to plan. Have you two been studying up on some of their new songs like I suggested?” Joseph asked with a grin.

“As if we’ve got anything else to do on the bus? If i have to hear Neon Highway one more time, I’m gonna puke…” Ivory sighed as she shifted to flop down on her back, laying her head in Karen's lap.

Karen’s paw went right to Ivory’s ear, rubbing it lovingly as she looked up at Joseph. “Yeah, we’ve been practicing, but hopefully the two day notice will give them enough time to dial in on some of our stuff?”

“Leo and Tracey are adept, they’ll figure it out. I gave them a list and even suggested some specific tracks they could focus on. We’ll probably blend their stuff into our act and ours into theirs, so really we’ll only need to dial in on maybe four songs, possibly six.” Joseph wagged a padded finger, then perked his ears, seeing the look Isaac was giving him. “W-what?”

“Nothing, you’re just adorable when you’re fully in the zone…” The red wolf snarled the words with a clear intent in them as his large paw patted his own lap in invitation.

Joseph felt his heart flutter as he cleared his throat and paced right over, sliding into Isaac’s lap, throwing his arms around his larger boyfriend's neck before pushing close. “A-anyway… we’ll get to the show about, TWO! H-hhours early!” He huffed out from the firm pay of the wolf’s paw on his rear.

“They’re so cute and hot…” Ivory purred as she spoke up to Karen.

“Right?” Karen hummed out then lifted her chin. “Okay, sweetie, we’ll make sure to get there early.”

“Yeah, it’s only cutting into our chill time at a hotel for the first time in like two weeks…” Ivory groaned dramatically, throwing her arm over her eyes with a purposeful diva-like sigh.

All her lovers grinned over at her but said nothing. The calico snorted and lifted her arm, peeking an eye out as sigh grumbled, “Too obvious?”

“Just a bit, my siren,” Isaac mused as he lifted his free paw, pinching his padded fingers together.

—*—

Karen shoved her paw into the wolf’s hand as they officially met, Tracey was about a head taller than her, on the shorter side for a girl of her species, but she had all the confidence and air of an accomplished martial artist.

“I’m really excited to meet you, I’ve been listening to your stuff and I’ll admit I really enjoy it!” She spoke with eagerness in her tone. She had her outfit on but not the makeup yet and was in sneakers instead of heels.

“Thank you, Tracey, can I call you Tracey?” Karen grinned as they held grips as if testing one another's intentions.

“Only if I can call you Karen instead of Mocha,” Tracey growled back, their green and blue eyes dialing in as they both grinned.

“Whoa!” Joseph barked out and jumped back as Tracey released Karen’s paw and brought a knee up out of nowhere. The rabbit tilted her head as she sidestepped the maneuver and dropped right down, sweeping with one leg that caught the idol’s left heel.

“Hey, not bad!” Tracey barked out as she just hopped to one foot, shifting into a stance right there in the backstage area.

“Tracey, baby! Can you not?!” Maximilian cried out and rushed over to the two girls. He was shorter than even Karen was, a stocky little rat in a loud purple suit with a bald head, one of the two managers who ran the other group.

“Oh I don’t mind at all!” Karen had shifted into her own martial stance, lifting a paw as she tilted her head, a crooked grin showing across her muzzle. This kind of adrenaline was something she hadn’t felt in a while, she’d need to take it out on Isaac later.

“I like you already, Karen… Let’s get the shoes off and try sparing a little later if you’re down!” Tracey showed her a challenging grin before easing her stance and even giving her a respectful bow as if they were at a dojo.

“It’d be my pleasure, Tracey, you pick fights with everyone whose paw you shake?” Karen giggled and made her own bow after easing her stance.

“Nah, just could see that look in your eyes, a kindred spirit as it were!” She wagged her tail and shifted her hand to Ivory. “Nice to meet you, Cream!”

“Ivory will be fine, Tracey. I’m not much of a fighter, so no kicks or anything please?” She purred and smiled up at the larger girl who offered her a grin.

“Oh, I don’t know… I can see something in there, but you strike me as the kind of bitch that’d just stab a real threat and walk away, not break out any martial arts.” She pulled from the cat and finally moved over to the other wolf, meeting his eyes, seeing he was already looking nervous.

“The infamous, Isaac eh? You also look like you could throw down, but you don’t seem like you’d appreciate the direct approach like your wife did,” Tracey flashed her sharp teeth again before shoving her hand out.

“It’s a pleasure, Tracey,” He gripped her hand with his paw, giving firm respectful force to the shake but not overbearing before pulling from it first.

“After seeing that fire from your wife, I’m really excited about the show,” Tracey growled as she shifted her focus over towards her own partner as Leo moved over next to greet the large wolf.

“A pleasure to meet you, you’re the security as well, right?” The ram thrust his own hand out as the two boys shared grips.

“Yeah, I do a little bit of everything, but I’m mostly here to keep an eye on things, A pleasure to meet you, uh… Leo?” Isaac tilted his head as if confirming that was okay.

“Likewise, Isaac. I’ll be counting on your support along with our own wolfy bodyguard, so thanks again!” He threw a hand up before moving over to greet the two idols.

“Wolfy bodyguard? Gods… it’s hard to believe this guy can write songs sometimes, ya know?” Tracey jabbed a thumb back at the ram as he was walking off, showing the large boy before her a grin.

Isaac just barked his own laugh before nodding. “I was thinking the same thing, ha!”

After the meet and greet was finished, they got to the planning phase of things. It was agreed upon they would let Cream and Mocha start their show like normal, but then they would open with one of Leo and Tracey’s songs. At that point, the other two idols would bust in to crash the show before all four started the performance in earnest.

Leo and Tracey didn’t have the full accompaniment of their own crew with them, just the idols, managers, and of course their own security. Isaac had seen the young white-haired wolf trotting about but didn’t get to formally greet her until the show started in earnest.

“Hey, Joe!” Isaac barked out as the fox looked up from the group. “I’m going out to get a beer with, Tracey. I’ll see you guys at the room.” He called out after he and Tracey set aside some time to talk once the show had concluded.

Karen saw her husband off with a kiss, even inviting Tracey to come back to their hotel room if she wanted to see how the whole group handled things.

Leo had a frown on his face as he watched her walk away, his face looking more flushed from having just washed his makeup off. Ivory moved over to him with a grin. “Don’t look so heartbroken, Leo! Isaac isn’t going to try to woo your girl!”

The ram perked his drooped ears and then looked down at the smaller cat who offered him a sharp toothy grin. “Oh, no! It’s not that, it’s just…” Leo rubbed the back of his head before shrugging. “It feels weird to not have her here already…”

“Damn… You got it bad, huh sheep?” Karen called out playfully.

“S-sheep?!” Leo gave a fussy bleat and looked a little annoyed.

“Oh shit, did that piss you off? She kept calling you that, so I figured it was cool. No harm intended, Leo!” Karen lifted her paws apologetically.

“N-no… it’s fine, sorry for glaring. That’s uhm…” He trailed off.

“It’s your pet name, it’s special, only she can do it, right?” Ivory gave him a side grin.

“I technically didn’t want her doing it either, but then it just kind of happened,” He folded his arms, looking fussy as he thought back on it.

“Well, while your wolf is off gathering intel, did you have any questions about how it works, Leo?” Karen asked while waving Joseph over.

“What’s up, love bunny?” Joseph barked out lovingly as his tail wagged.

“We’re just giving Leo here a chance to ask any questions while Tracey is off digging into our wolf’s brain,” Ivory explained with a small smile.

“Oh! Well, do you, Leo?” The fox smiled and put his paws on his hips.

“Oh man… tons… I guess I’m mostly worried that maybe Tracey is going along with this for mine and Flia’s sake?” Leo opened right in with the biggest worry he had.

“Uh… No offense, Leo, but I don’t think that’s the case. Call it a fighter instinct, but I don’t think a pack of wild horses could make your wolf do something she honestly didn’t want to do!” Karen clenched her paw into a fist, showing him a grin. A gesture Tracey had made towards him many times as Leo blinked slowly at her.

“Damn, you already entranced by my rabbit, Leo?” Ivory giggled as the idol snapped out of it and shook his head.

“Oh! S-Sorry, that’s just, your body movements and speech pattern just now, it was all very reminiscent of her.” He explained politely.

“It’s probably just a martial artist thing, it’s kind of like how each of us were on the same wavelength earlier straight from the paw shake,” Karen explained simply then shrugged. “Or maybe I’m your type, you got a thing for bossy bitches that could kick your tail?” She said with a giggle.

“Now that you mention it…” Leo rubbed his jaw in thought as Karen just giggle-snorted at that and laughed.

“Okay, well… your bitch fetish aside, anything else?” Joseph grinned over at him with a paw on his hip.

“How do you guys handle arguments?” Leo asked with a frown. “I wanna take Tracey’s side if that ever happened, but Flia and me have history and-”

“Whoa, whoa, whoa… Stop right there, sheep.” Ivory wagged a finger at him with a hiss. “You can’t just take a side without hearing the whole story. What if Tracey is totally in the wrong? She get that grace period because she was your girlfriend before Flia?”

“Yeah! You can’t just start doing the, well you were my partner first, or this or that. You have to be open, you have to talk!” Karen chimed in, clenching both her paws into fists, her and Ivory sharing a nod. They’d already had a few flare-ups on the bus, but they had quickly adapted to things.

Joseph chimed in as well, “What the girls said is true. Leo, you have to keep constant respect and open-mindedness towards everyone involved. If you start playing favorites, you will fail at this. Take care of each of them from time to time alone. Have dates separately occasionally, and let them do their own thing sometimes too, but don’t ever throw tenure into the mix.”

“It sounds complicated…” Leo folded his arms and frowned.

“Fuck yeah, it’s complicated!” Karen squeaked out and glared at him as she continued, “We’ve only been like this for about a season now, Leo, so we’re all still new to it. This isn’t some rock-solid guidebook for you.”

“Karen’s right, sweetie. We don’t have all the answers, all we can do is tell you what works for us, but… We aren’t you guys. We don’t have your goals, values, or anything else.” Ivory offered a shrug.

“Thanks, you’ve given me a lot to think about here…” Leo sighed and rubbed the back of his head before looking down at his feet.

“Hey, if it’s worth it, you’ll figure it out! If one of the other party, including you, is faking it to make it, that will come out eventually, especially in the heat of a fight,” Joseph folded his arms and flicked his tail a few times. “Just… be open, be honest, and talk, man… Just talk, that’s my biggest advice.”

Karen and Ivory gave an agreeing nod. “Yeah, I think that’s what makes us work. We get mad, even fuss and yell sometimes, but we stop, we think, and we talk… Even if we have to storm off to cool first, we talk,” Karen explained with a knowing smile.

“I appreciate this, you three… If anything else comes up, can I pluck your brains tomorrow night as well after or before the next show?”

“By all means!” Ivory mewed out and hugged up Karen, both of the idols still a bit sweaty and disheveled from the show just like he was.

“Hell, you two can have my number once this is sorted, if you wanna ask questions go for it, if I can’t get answers, I’ll take it to the council at large!” Joseph barked out a laugh as he held a paw out to the cuddle idols.

“Hmph, you both can have my number too, not like I have many people to text with while I’m stuck on a bus anyway, I’m sure you know how it is!” Ivory mewed out.

“Oh, believe me, I do… Just like you, this isn’t my first tour.” Leo flipped his ears up and bleated out. “Oh shit, that reminds me! Hey, Max’s oldest daughter is really into you guys, before we split tomorrow, you think you could get selfies with me and Tracey, maybe even get an album autographed for her?”

“Oh happily, Leo! Let’s get a selfie before the show tomorrow so we’re not all looking like shit afterward!” Karen giggled as the ram gave her an understanding smile.

A few hours later Tracey and Leo took them all up on the offer to come hang out at their room after the show. The couple got to see the idols and their husbands interacting together, talking, fussing a little, and even being loving to each other.

Ivory and Karen were happy to have a few celebratory drinks since they were in a hotel. If the rabbit and cat were anything when drinking, it was horny though, so once they started pawing a little too much on one another, the other idol couple decided it might be time to let the group have some privacy.

“Sorry about the girls, they usually don’t drink a lot but I guess the social spirit of things got them a little too eager, and now well…” Isaac chuckled as he rubbed the back of his head, standing outside of the hotel room with Leo and Tracey.

“Oh it’s fine, Isaac, stop worrying about us and go spend some quality time with your lovers!” Tracey gave him a knowing smile as she held Leo’s arm.

“L-love bunny, at least let me get my shoes off first!” Joseph yipped from inside the room.

“Shut up and get over here, fox!” Karen snarled out.

Isaac offered another awkward grin and then cleared his throat as he pulled the door to that had been cracked while they stood outside of the room. “Ah… all that aside. You guys can reach out to me if you have questions, but remember, you’re gonna have to figure out what works for you three. Communicate, don’t play favorites, and leave any ego aside… Then figure out what works.”

“Thanks again for everything, we’ll see you guys tomorrow, okay?” Tracey thrust her hand out, the wolf offering his own paw in another firm shake.

“Thanks man, we owe you one.” Leo shook Isaac’s paw next before they parted grips.

“Let me know how things go tomorrow, you guys be safe getting back to your own hotel!” He threw his paw up in a wave as the ram and wolf started back to their own room.

—*—

The idols arrived the next afternoon at Tracey and Leo’s venue. They were excited to see them again but instantly could feel something was off. Both the ram and wolf just didn’t seem quite as laid back, as if they were tense or on edge.

Finally, Joseph and Isaac pulled Leo to the side to speak with him.

“Leo, I know it’s none of our business, but did something go wrong? Did our advice fuck something up with you guys?” Joseph cut right to the heart of their concerns.

Leo lifted his ears and then shook his head rapidly. “Oh, no way! Actually…” A smile played on his lips as he looked both the other boys in the eyes. “Flia, me and Tracey are now official! Well… long distance right now, but still official!”

“Oh wow! That’s fantastic!” Isaac barked out and clapped a paw on Leo’s shoulder, then he tilted his head. “Then why are you two looking so messed up right now?”

“Oh that…” Leo sighed and rubbed his face. “Is it that obvious?”

“Little bit… Sorry, if it’s not related we can not pry, we were just worried we may have messed things up,” Joseph explained.

He frowned before leaning back on the wall. “Just a little internal family drama with the crew. You know our bodyguard, Hilde that you guys both met yesterday?”

“She’s a cute little wolf, yeah. Watching how she patrols and keeps an eye out for you guys is rather endearing.” Isaac grinned and rubbed his jaw.

“Well, she had some romantic drama stir up with my best friend of the group, my keyboard guy, James. I won’t go puking their business out since it’s personal, but suffice to say he and her had a big blowout, and… Well, she’s Tracey’s apprentice so…”

“Mama wolf wants blood,” Joseph grinned as he put his paws on his hips.

“Holy shit, please don’t ever say that to her, she’d probably lose her shit at being called ‘Mama Wolf’!” Leo bleated a laugh as he folded his arms.

“You guys going to be okay to do the show tonight? Do you need to shift into autopilot and just get through it then?” Isaac asked.

“We’ll be fine. Me and Tracey are professionals. Hilde and James are too, they’ll get it done, we all will,” Leo explained as he nodded to the other two.

“Hmm… Alright, well I wish your two younger tour mates luck with their situation, we’ll just go business as planned then,” Joseph pulled his tablet out and nodded. “Shall we go over some logistics?”

“Yeah, let me get Max, Trix, and Tracey. Also uh… let’s keep these details about the Hilde and James between us, okay?” Leo frowned.

“What details? I’ve no idea what you’re talking about, Leo,” Joseph said coolly while flipping through some screens on his tablet. Isaac just grinned and offered a nod to the request.

“Crystal?!” Ivory called out for the fifth time while pacing around the backstage area, the others were gathered to go over logistics but she hadn’t been able to locate the persian. She sniffed the air again, finally catching a fresh trail of her scent before moving towards the side of the stage area where Leo’s band had been setting up.

The idol stopped in her tracks, seeing the blue-grey persian standing there chatting with one of Leo’s band members, an older-looking otter with a thick tail and messy-looking dirty blonde hair that had plenty of grey running through it. He was a full-fur like Crystal was, the only one in Leo’s band actually.

“Heavens spear?”

“No.”

“The dirty martini?”

Crystal snorted and folded her arms. “No. That sounds like a lame cocktail lounge.”

“Geeze…” The otter sighed and rubbed his head with one paw.

“Sorry sweetie, I mostly listen to country and lofi-hiphop, what do you want me to say? I’d probably not have even heard of this band you’re in if I wasn’t being thrust into the industry muzzle first,” Crystal said coolly as she put a paw on her hip but didn’t seem particularly put off by the conversation.

“Watcha doing, Crystal?” Ivory purred into the other cat’s ear after having snuck up on her, the otter having kept a poker face the whole time as he watched it happen.

“Mew! Fuck!” Crystal almost dropped her tablet, fumbling to catch it before spinning on the calico as she hissed out, “Bitch! Don’t sneak up on me like that!”

“Heh!” Ivory showed her sharp teeth in a grin, then darted her blue eyes to the otter. “We’ve not had a chance to meet and greet officially, but you’re their drummer Neil, right?” Ivory said as she offered her paw.

“I’m glad at least one of you has heard of me,” He chuckled as he gave her paw a shake.

Ivory smirked and leaned back, folding her arms at her stomach. “That what I barged in on? You desperately trying to impress my manager with the bands you’ve been in?”

Neil grinned and pushed a paw through his messy hair. “Uh… Well, I’d not say…”

“Yes,” Crystal sighed as she poked her nose up and composed herself. “Anyway, what is it, Ivory?”

“We’re meeting up to discuss the performance, we were looking for you and, your band was looking for you too,” Ivory flashed a grin to the otter before she trotted away. “So let’s go, loves. You can continue your wooing attempts later!”

“Oh, you’re pushing your luck tonight aren’t you, bitch?” Crystal mewed out playfully as she stalked after the other cat, the otter just offering an awkward grin as he enjoyed the view of the fussy persian’s nice round butt as she stomped off, her fluffy tail flicking in agitation.

“A bit older for my taste, but he’s cute… You thinking about buying a ticket to ride that train, babe?” Ivory cooed out in a gossiping tone of voice as she gave her friend a side grin.

“He just started chatting me up, I’m not interested…” Crystal grumbled as she pushed her glasses up on her snout.

“Oh come on… I know you like the grey muzzles, bitch… A rock and roll bad boy with a history? Why the fuck not?” Ivory nudged her.

“Rock and roll bad boy? You mean you actually recognized some of those bands he was blathering off?” Crystal frowned at the nudge.

“Well, yeah… I know of the guy. None of those bands were triple-A, household names, but if you’re into the genre then you might know.” Ivory wagged a finger.

“Then maybe he should have awkwardly started hitting on you instead…” Crystal grumbled again.

“Ha! He’s older but easy on the eyes, and also a drummer, so you know he’ll be good with his paws if nothing else… If I weren’t married then maybe I would…” Ivory purred playfully.

“Once a slut always a slut!” Crystal hissed out with a grin.

“Tut! I’m married now, Joseph is more than enough for me, babe!” Ivory cooed as she pushed a paw to her jiggling breasts in her stage outfit that offered a nice good view of the calico’s ample swells of cleavage.

“Yeah, more than enough, now that you have a boyfriend and girlfriend as well?” Crystal showed her sharp teeth. “Geeze, I’ve heard you guys at least half a dozen times this tour in one way or another!”

“Does it frustrate you, bitch? Sounds like you had an interested boy back there…” Ivory pushed up to her friend, purring nice and loud, “But if you want me to talk to my group, we could see if we could fit you in, even if just for a casual romp…”

“Gods no! Let me get in the middle of your dogs, sure, but I don’t jive that way with other girls, bitch! You know this already after that one night we had too much to drink and…” Crystal smiled as she looked aside.

“You liked it… I’d do it again for you in a heartbeat, babe… Any time you want me to go muzzle first between those soft warm thighs…” Ivory purred in the other cat's ear, Crystal blinking her amber eyes several times before hissing and shoving the other cat off her.

“Geeze… I’m sure your partners would love that, right?” She gave her a flustered look as Ivory hummed lovingly.

“Oh I’m sure if I talked to them about it they wouldn’t mind, but I digress…” She clicked her tongue as they reunited with the other members of the group to plan, and a few moments later the aforementioned drummer joining them as well.

The group spent several minutes going around in circles on what to do. Having the girls bust in like Leo and Tracey had done would work, but given the media buzz, it would be expected. For better or worse, a large portion of tonight's fans were probably expecting to see the idols all together.

“I mean, why try to surprise them at all then? Why not just have all four of you waltz out there and call it done?” Trixie, the other group's manager snarled, having already gotten annoyed with the constant exchanges of ideas. She was a llama with bubblegum pink hair and a suit to match, both of the tour managers rather eclectic compared to Joseph’s casual attire.

“I mean we could, but it feels like a cop-out at that point. I’d still like to surprise the fans somehow…” Karen frowned as she folded her arms, leaning back into Joseph’s chest.

Leo looked at her, then up at the fox, before back to Karen, before snapping his fingers. “That’s it! So let’s not give them what they want!” The ram bleated out with a crooked grin as he spread his arms.

Everyone turned to him with a confused look.

—*—

“I can’t believe I agreed to this…”

“Too late now, it’s showtime!” Leo bleated out as the feed went live and both their mics clicked on.

The stage was dark as the thrum of the bass slowly faded on the placeholder music that had been streaming through the concert hall between acts. The cheering started but then it faded as nothing happened, silence starting to overtake the crowd as no lasers or sound came from the stage.

There was a soft composed huff of breath that came from the speakers before a fluid roll of piano keys filled the silence. A spotlight snapped on to see a piano with a fox no one had come to see behind it. The jeans and T-shirt were replaced with a suit of pink with a black vest. It just so happened Joseph was around the same size as Trixie so it took minimal alterations to get him in one of her extras.

A few moments passed as he looked up from the keys, glitter on his cheek fur, his hair seeming to have gotten a bit of glitter too that shined in the hot stage lights, that thick fox tail wagging lazily as he finally sang out, “What do you do, when the worlds expectations weigh heavy on you?”

A few more moments of calm playing before he looked to the side where the audience was just staring with a look of absolute confusion. For better or worse, this scheme certainly did its job.

“Paid for that ticket, the parking may have been the worst, all to listen to a fox sing and barely carry a verse…” Joseph grinned as at least he heard a bit of laughter erupt from the stunned crowd.

“Give yourself more credit, baby… With a little practice, you’ll make the girls go crazy,” Another voice sang out, the crowd certainly reacting more excitedly to this one as cheering erupted as Electric Blue strutted out, dressed in his own snappy suit of blue and white, both of the boys looking more fancy than idol worthy, not that the fox was an idol to begin with.

“I’ve only ever done this for my wife, Blue,” Joseph sang out playfully.

“And that’s why we call it a debut!” Leo rhymed in a smooth rich voice, showing the audience his range as he went to a deeper almost opera-worthy tone to match the pace.

Now the audience was cheering and into it, even if it wasn’t the kind of opening they expected, it was still one of the idols they came to see. The ones in the know already knew what the fox entailed though and as if on cue, Ivory strutted out in heels with a glittering white dress to accent her fur. She still had on the stockings and gloves from her regular outfit, but did keep this lounge-style dress at the ready for when she and Joseph would break into their piano act.

“Oh sweetie, I’m right here, so play your music and sing for your muse,” Cream sang in that sultry tone as the audience roared their approval, seeing they were indeed getting both acts tonight.

“Anything for you, baby, you know I’d never refuse,” Joseph hummed as the piano continued.

“Hope your husband isn’t the jealous type,” Blue offered his hand as the calico placed her paw in it.

“Be more worried about Ruby, she’s the one that’ll start a fight,” Cream purred in her sultry tone as the two embraced in a slow dance.

Joseph kept the smooth piano playing rolling forth as Leo and Ivory took over the singing, keeping the lounge-style opening going to match the pace of their steps.

Once their opening song finished, the fox tilted his head back and pushed a paw through his hair as the two idols parted, the whole concert hall cheering for the surprising opening as Joseph spoke out as he stood, “Well, let’s do this again sometime, Blue. I’ll let you get to your show!”

“How about we have one more dance, a dance of forbidden love?” Blue grasped Joseph’s paw as he yipped, feeling himself pulled into the ram’s arms like his wife had been. This wasn’t part of the plan, but he knew Leo was notorious for improvising just like Ivory was.

Joseph grunted awkwardly as music started playing from the sound system, a waltz. Some of the other members of the team were in on this, and judging by the wicked little grin on his wife’s muzzle right now, she was one of them.

“Now it's quite simple… Don’t think, and try not to stare…” Leo hummed out as the music started to gain tempo, the sound of his band starting to drown out the slower music.

“S-shit, wait a sec I…” Joseph bit his tongue as he realized his mic was still live before he stammered out, “Uh… p-pulling me into… your arms without so much… as a care! I should… I should be angry, you deserve my glare!” He actually did glare as he finished it, his grip tightening on the rams as the dance started to shift into motion, the fox now matching his paces.

“I’m a ram, we’re stubborn, and I take what I want!” Leo showed a crooked grin as he modified the lyrics slightly.

“Is that the case, or do you just hope to flaunt?” Joseph showed his own grin as he continued while they danced. “Oh what a brazen sheep, acting like a ram… but I can’t deny your bravado is something…something that rhymes with ram instead of lion!”

The audience cheered and several girls in it even whistled and swooned at the two boys dressed in suits slow dancing together to the impromptu song that was now getting fairly butchered from all the cut-in lyrics.

“I think they’re cooing and wooing more for the two boys dancing than when I was out there!” Ivory puffed out as she quickly tugged the dress off backstage, her main outfit on underneath it.

Karen giggled and Tracey smirked as she responded, “I mean of course they are, who doesn’t enjoy seeing some good old-fashioned Loverboy fan service?”

“You’re guilty of enjoying watching boylove too, my kitty!” Karen giggled.

“Oh, you’d know, huh baby?” Ivory grinned as Tracey just blushed at the dialog. Then again these two got front row seats to it now that she thought about it.

“Wow… maybe I should look into a boyfriend for us too once we get things sorted with Flia,” Tracey laughed as she rolled her neck before looking back at the stage, seeing her lover and the idol’s own lover embraced, their dance looking more natural now.

Joseph smirked up at the taller boy as Leo widened his eyes, seeing a confident look he’d see in Tracey before he pulled back and pushed his padded fingers to the ram’s lips right as the main chorus was about to drop.

“So follow my lead, you cocky ram, I’ll show you a fox trot serenade!” He sang out confidently as the crowd cheered, glitter shining off his fur and suit as he pulled the idol back into his arms, leading the dance now.

“Yeah! That’s what I wanna see, foxy! Show the world you ain’t no bottom!” Isaac barked out a laugh as he folded his arms, both Ivory and Karen giggling as Joseph had flicked that switch to take the lead.

“So it’s not just confident girls you like, eh hun?” Tracey smirked as she put her hands on her hips, watching the ram get led about, the crowd eating up the impromptu boylove romance.

The music came to a slow halt as they pushed together in the final embrace, as if this were the cue to finish with a kiss, Joseph leaning closer as Leo’s eyes widened, he’d never even kissed a boy, and especially not a full-fur one, should he tilt his head, how did you do it with those muzzles foxes sported and-

He bleated as Joseph playfully pushed a paw to the ram’s face and shoved his head aside. “Sorry, sweetie, I never kiss on the first dance!” The fox turned with a playful grin, hiking his tail up and strutting off the stage as the audience cheered and laughed.

“Okay, okay, let’s get out there before Leo cries at getting rejected, girls!” Tracey laughed as the other two idols gave her giggles and nodded.

“Good job, my fox, get some water!” Karen kissed his jaw as he panted and gave her an adoring look. Ivory just pushed right up to him, shoving her muzzle right to his own, kissing him several times before parting from him with a grin, then followed the other girls.

“Fuck… was that really me out there?” Joseph muttered, his paws shaking as he pushed one up into his sweaty locks and fur.

“Sure was foxy, here.” Isaac had already deployed a folding chair and sat his boyfriend right down, passing him a water bottle. Joseph just gave a shuddering huff and sipped the water in shaky paws.

“You’d think I’d stop having these adrenaline crashes after having been on stage like what… half a dozen times now?” Joseph gave him a fragile grin as he held the bottle of water, the real show starting up on stage as the lasers and bass filled the air.

“This was a whole different thing, Joe. You were in the thick of it, you were fully singing a song and even dancing… You did great, and you’ll do even better if you find yourself out there again!” Isaac growled and rubbed his shoulders while he stood behind him.

“Oh gods, I hope not! Ha ha, I’m no idol like Leo, I’m happy letting our girls have the limelight, you know?” He looked up at the wolf that loomed over him.

“I think you like it a little bit, Joe, or you’d not humor doing it…” Isaac showed him a grin before leaning down to kiss his lips which were stained a little from Ivory’s blue lipstick.

—*—

“That was wild earlier! Ha… you had me going there for a bit too, Joe! I thought we were about to kiss!” Leo laughed as he put his hands on his hips as they all met after the concert, everyone panting and worn out.

“Might as well have, I’m sure the whole fandom has now canonically shipped you two together,” Trixie giggled as she looked over the two boys. “Shit, I’d have liked to see it myself!”

“I’d not be jealous! You and Leo can skip the base system and go right to home, so long as I get to watch!” Ivory mewed out with a grin.

“You mean, WE get to watch, love?” Karen said with a giggle.

“Shit… help me out here, hon?” Leo looked over at Tracey with a pleading grin.

“I’ll bring the cameras, girls.” Tracey playfully bumped her hip to Karen's as all three girls laughed and plotted.

“Guess we’re a thing now, Leo. hope Flia isn’t jealous!” Joseph laughed.

“Shit… she’d probably be just as eager to watch as these four!” Leo grinned as he jabbed a thumb back toward the three idols and the manager.

“I know Crystal is really into boylove too, we used to share pictures from artists we liked that drew it,” Ivory candidly confessed with a purr.

“Where is she anyway?” Joseph asked as he looked around.

“Oh… I’ve an idea… I told her to skip the post-concert meeting to go address some issues,” Ivory showed her sharp teeth in a smug grin.

Neil had just finished checking on the gear the technicians had packed. He always busted down his own kit in the past, but now that their tour had taken off, they had someone who did all the setup for them. Still, the drum kits were his babies so he always got worried about it.

”Checking on your rig?” Crystal called out, the otter’s ears perking and his tail going stiff as he quickly turned, the girth of his thick tail smacking into the large crate as he winced with a hiss through his teeth.

“Shit… sorry about that, you okay?” She folded her arms, cocking a brow at him.

“Oh, don’t worry about it, happens all the time… You’d think after like half a century I’d have gotten used to the damn thing!” Neil laughed and rubbed the side of his tail a bit before composing himself. “So uh… hi!”

“Hey there,” Crystal smiled and waved a paw before pushing her glasses up.

“Uh… not that I’m complaining about having a pretty kitty like you talking to me, but did you need something, babe?” He offered a grin, his paws spreading.

“Yeah, for you to never call me babe again,” Crystal smirked then clicked her tongue. “Anyway… Ivory said she heard of those bands. I looked you up, checked out what you claimed, seems it was true. I hate guys that just fluff up their past and lie to try to show off, you know?”

Neil laughed and rubbed the back of his head. “Unfortunately, yes, all of it’s true. All the bands and all the horror and regrets!”

“I’m sure you had some good times, or you’d have ditched this life a long time ago, right?” Crystal smiled at him, the backstage lights flashing off her glasses as she adjusted them.

“You figured me out, uh… Can I call you Crystal then?”

“You sure can, Neil. I don’t do pet names, so Crystal is just fine.”

“Thanks, yeah… I know it sounds like bullshit, but fuck if I don’t do it for the stage and the fans. The lights, the sounds, even the smell of it all!” The otter gave her a grin and spread his paws again, looking just the same as he had in some of the old pictures and videos she’d seen. Just a little greyer and perhaps slower, but the same drummer from back then.

“So…” Crystal flipped through her tablet before looking up at him as she walked closer, only a few feet from him now, her hips purposefully swaying in her suit that ended in a hip-hugging skirt that came down to her knees.

“S-so?” Neil’s nose twitched a few times, his whiskers bouncing at her scent.

“Our tour is dipping after the concert, we’ve got to make tracks if we’re going to make it to the next show in time, this little diversion was dangerous to the schedule,” She said in a matter-of-fact tone.

“Damn… I was hoping to ask you out and everything!” Neil hissed out as he stared hard into her eyes, his own blue ones peeking out of the messy brown-blonde bangs of his hair.

“So… ask me out?” Crystal tilted her muzzle, looking confident and smug as the light gleamed off her glasses.

Neil looked shocked for a moment then clenched his fists before lifting his own muzzle. “Can I take you out, Crystal? Even if it’s just for a quick coffee or slop to eat?”

She smiled at him and shook her head. “I’d say yes if we had time, Neil. You know how it is with this life better than anyone else here, right?”

“Yeah… fuck…” He snarled and stomped a boot, looking childish despite his age.

“We might have time for that, the dressing room is empty, they have a couch in there,” Crystal gave him a wicked little grin, her amber eyes looking cunning through her glasses.

Neil gave her a wide eager grin. “Whoa… Y-you serious, Crystal?! Shit, I’d been happy with a date alone but…”

“I’ve got a rule when it comes to dating, Neil…” She turned and started walking away, her hips swaying as she lifted a paw to beckon him to follow.

The older drummer couldn’t believe this was happening as he eagerly gave chase, asking curiously, “Y-yeah, what’s that, Crystal?”

The persian cut her eyes to his, they were almost eye level with him only a little bit taller, she never did like overly tall boys anyway. “You’re interested, and I’m interested… So let’s get the awkward part out of the way. It’d be a shame to invest all the time for the sex to be shit, wouldn’t you agree?” She said coolly as she bumped the dressing room door open with her hip stepping right in.

“So if you like it, I can ask for your number?” Neil asked with a grin as he followed her in, the persian quickly throwing the door latch to before turning to face him.

“You may,” Crystal purred as she tossed the tablet over onto the coffee table, then took her hair out of the bun it was in, the long flowing grey-blue locks matching her fur pattern before she gave the older otter a childish grin, some of her locks draping over one of her perked ears.

“Damn… you’re so gorgeous… I…” Neil’s paw hesitated before he stepped forward and pushed it against her soft hip, feeling how warm it was, then his ears perked as he heard the low deep purr fill her throat at his touch.

Her purrs filled him with all the confidence he needed as he moved right in, dipping his muzzle down to kiss along her throat, his paws curiously roaming the hips of the first girl he’d touched in some time.

“That hesitation… how long has it been for you, Neil?” Crystal asked with a giggle as she felt his teeth nipping at her furred flesh, kissing and even dragging his tongue against her fur, as if tasting and savoring her affection, her own paws pressing to his chest, feeling the muscles under the ratty old band t-shirt he wore.

“About three years. Groupies that want grey fur are few and far, most of those that do, want a sugar daddy, not a roll in the sheets…” He snarled the words as his paws migrated behind her to finally get a pawful of that large round rear of hers, Crystal offering a mew and giggle from being pulled to his chest.

“Well, I’m not looking for a payday, Neil… It’s been about two or so for me, so don’t think I’m some slut, just picky I guess…” She purred as her paws pushed to his chest, starting to pull his shirt up to see what she was working with.

Neil released her rear to step back, lifting his arms as she peeled it right off. Her amber eyes widened to see the various scars and dark patches of tattoos that scattered his grey-brown fur.

“Holy shit…” She stammered out as she brushed a padded paw over a fairly deep one near his abdomen.

“Surprised? There’s a reason I never wear sleeveless shirts when I’m on stage,” He held his arms out, cuts along his furred-flesh that had been scarred.

“Gods, did you used to cut on yourself or some shit, Neil?” She mewed out as she pawed at his chest and arms, looking wide-eyed as her soft pads traced one near his upper chest where the fur split to show scarred flesh.

“Nah, I got the big one near my abs running my mouth in a club, learned the hard way you only think you’re a hard ass until a guy shanks you and walks away, damn near bled out on that one.” He chuckled as she looked shocked and moved her paw back over the scar, brushing it gently.

“What about all the little ones?” Crystal forced her eyes up to his own as he showed an awkward grin.

“Let’s just say when you’re on a motorcycle and someone hits you head-on, you’re the first one at the scene of the accident. Between hitting the windshield, bouncing off it, and then hitting the asphalt for the rest of the momentum… Well, good thing I had my helmet on, right?” Neil tapped his head with a smirk.

“Shit!” She mewed out and looked him over, seeing the tattoos were just random, as if snapshots of his life. Some were obvious cover-ups, perhaps old lovers' names, others were obvious tributes. He had one on his scratched-up wrist that simply read ‘Mom’ with dates on it.

“Your body, it has so many stories to tell…” She whispered as she brushed over the freshest looking ink through his fur, a blue lightning bolt.

“I’ve got some ink for every band I was in for more than a year, there’s more on my back too!” He gave her a sad grin as he saw her eyes meet his. “If the scars and shit has put you off, I get it, Crystal, you wouldn’t be the first.”

“I think it’s fucking hot…” She hissed out and splayed a paw on the scar at his abs, then drew a paw up into the otter's messy dirty-blonde hair that was more on the grey-brown side, pulling him to her as her muzzle shoved to his own.

Neil shuddered but didn’t even resist as they drew into a deep kiss, their tongues meeting, those deep purrs now rolling down his throat. His paws moved to the front of her suit, flicking buttons clear, intent to not be the only one topless during this.

Crystal didn’t seem like she wanted to stop kissing but pulled back to let him work the buttons clear, a black bra coming into view, hugging at the swells of her breasts. She shrugged the top off and even unzipped her skirt, stepping out of it to stand before him.

As expected, she had soft curvy hips with a snug set of black panties on, a piercing in her navel that shined in the dressing room lights with just a little curve of pudge in her belly. The bra cupped her nice large breasts, they weren’t as big as Ivory’s or even Tracey’s, but still looked massive for the starved otter that hadn’t touched a pair in years.

“Holy shiiiit… what a fucking bod you’ve got…” Neil sighed as his paws moved to grasp her hips, brushing over the ring in her navel.

“I’m liking yours too Neil, sorry if I’m a little pudgy for your taste, I really should work out more these days now that I’ve not been stuck in service hell.” She mewed out as he gave the ring in her navel a small tug and grinned at her.

“You fucking kidding? I love it… little in the middle but kitty got back!” He sang out before slapping a paw hard into her mostly bared ass. Crystal offered a shocked, offended, and excited mew at the sudden spank.

“Ah- Asshole!” She laughed with a grin and shoved his chest playfully, but then mewed as he just grabbed her hips and pulled her back with him, falling onto the sofa, and pulling her right into his lap.

“Give me a break, an ass like that, I’ve gotta give it at least one good spank, Crystal…” Neil snarled, his confidence swelling like that bulge in his jeans she could feel. She bit her lower lip as he reached back to unfasten her bra, letting those grey-blue-furred breasts sag slightly from being freed from their restraints.

She offered him a smirk as he peeled the bra away to let those large breasts finally come into view, staring in awe at them as he saw each of her dark perky nipples sported a ring just like her navel.

Neil stared at them for a long moment then gave a shrug as he grinned. “Well shit, that did me in, I already blew it!”

“Y-You better be joking, Neil!” Crystal mewed out with a small glare.

“Ha! Of course, but holy shit… what a view… what a cat… Come here!” He snarled again and grasped her hips, hauling her up as he eagerly shoved his maw against her left teat, eager to suck against it. Crystal offered an approving moan, her paws moving to rub at his perky grey-brown ears, feeling his tongue flick and tease at her sensitive peak.

“Ah fuck… fuck… No one’s sucked them since Ivory did… fuck…” She hissed out, then groaned as his sucking grew harder before he popped her teat from his maw and met her eyes.

“Damn… you and that blonde kitty? Holy shit that sounds amazing… Did you guys grind your pussies together or something too?” He asked the crude eager question before shoving his maw to her other teat to suckle.

“Ngh! N-No! We just took turns shoving our faces between one another’s thighs!” Crystal mewed out, showing a grin as the otter widened his blue eyes before pulling from her nipple with an eager huff.

“You saying you want me to shove my face between those soft warm-looking thighs, Crystal?” Neil showed her a grin as he shifted her off his lap to the sofa.

Crystal purred as she leaned back slightly, swinging her legs forward to part slightly, letting him see the crotch of her panties, the fabric clearly soaked through and outlining her sex. “I’m not telling you that you can’t… but I’m shit at giving head, Neil, so don’t think I’d return the-” She mewed as he already had grasped her panties.

“Like I care… a gorgeous bitch like you, Crystal? Fuck… I’d worship your pussy all night and keep it in my pants if you told me too…” He snarled and peeled the panties clear, Crystal showing him an approving smile as she slightly spread her legs again, letting him get a look at the wet petals that stood out against her blue-grey crotch fur.

“Holy shit…” Neil sighed then scooped up under her knees and she even heard a little creaking pop from his knees as he shifted down to shove his muzzle straight between her thighs as promised.

“Oh fuck… oh fuck! Oh-.... oh fuck!” Crystal started to unravel rapidly as she realized she had a boy who had literal decades of experience and his tongue alone was showing it. He circled at her pearl even dragging the tip back and forth or counter-clockwise, he really knew what he was doing.

“What… in … the… Gods… Neil… I- A-already?!” She mewed in shock, looking stunned as her paw shoved to his head, crying out as he didn’t just push her over that edge, he picked her up and threw her over it.

His ears perked at her excited, shocked, and then relieved sounds, looking up to see her tongue was lolled slightly, her sharp little teeth showing and ears flat. He gave a proud grunt and started to suckle against her pearl as Crystal’s eyes started to flutter upwards.

“W-wait… Neil… I need… I need to… fuck… fuck…” She wanted to come down, but he was already stirring her up while she was in her throes.

“Fucking…. Fuck!” Crystal cried out in a shattering moan that sounded like a yowl, her whole body shuddering in the older otter's paws as he brutally made her crash once more.

“Fuck… Neil… what… in the… hell?” She panted up at him, having trouble focusing her eyes as he licked his chops and climbed over her, already unbuckling his jeans.

“The fascination of getting my rocks off as fast as I can never interested me, Crystal. I love making a bitch scream and melt for me…” He sounded every bit the haughty rock star like Ivory did as he jerked his jeans open.

Crystal bit her lower lip, seeing his length spill forth, jumping and twitching, even dripping for her. She gulped a little and stared at it for a little longer before looking back up at him with a grin. “Ah… that’s a little… more than I expected…”

“Yeah?” Neil grinned and scooped her knees up, pulling her closer, breasts jiggling as he lined up, rubbing and prodding his jumping length against her soaked petals, even teasing her pearl a little.

“Holy crap… I don’t… Will that even fit?” She mewed out but didn’t resist him as he prodded.

“We’ll make it work… You got a rubber, Crystal? I got one in my wallet but it might be expired,” He huffed out as he ground his head against her pearl, her pawtoes curling as she panted then shook her head.

“I- I’ve got an implant and I’m clean… A-are you? You promise?” She grinned at him as she felt him already lining himself up, grinding at her entrance, cat honey dripping down his length.

“Checked out squeaky clean a few years ago, not had anyone since, so…” He ground his hips as Crystal hissed out, her ears going flat as he started to work in. She was tight from having not been active and he was not a small guy.

“Fuck… fuck… I’m gonna feel this in … the morning…” Crystal groaned out as she felt him rocking back and forth, gently adding a little more with each push, her own lust helping slick his length.

“Me too… gods damn you’re tight as fuck… you doing okay down there?” He offered her a small grin.

“Y-yeah, come on, rockstar, just do it!” She flashed her teeth in a grin.

“So much for pet names, eh?” He gripped her knees and bucked his hips with one firm thrust that sent the rest of every inch nice and deep.

“Mew!” She gasped out as he bottomed out hard, looking stunned with her tongue peeking out, then she twitched with a small gasp as another orgasm hit her, honey dripping off the otter’s sacs.

Neil clenched his own teeth, grunting as his ears flattened. “Oh shit… oh shit… you might be… the tightest girl I’ve… Gods… yeah that’s brutal, my little jewel…”

“Y-your little… jewel? W-what the fuck… nickname is thaaat?!” She fussed out, her breasts swaying as he started to rock his hips, that tip of his length kissing deep, making her toe-paws curl harder as she gasped out with each thrust.

“I- I dunno, I’m trying to work with your name here! Diamond or Gem sounds like a stripper or prostitute, ya know?!” Neil huffed back, his paws moving over those bouncing breasts, kneading them gently as Crystal panted up at him, her tail coiling and smacking the sofa while he pumped deep inside her.

“F-fine… fuck, Neil… I’m getting close again… why do you… feel so good?!” Crystal gasped the words, her glasses looking disheveled on her snout as she blinked up at him.

“It’s all about the angle and what you’re working with, does this mean you’re having a good time and I’m passing the test? Gonna get your digits after this?” He groaned and bucked his hips as she gasped out, feeling him sink into a new angle.

“Fuck! Y-yes! Fucking yes you can have my number if you wanted it, just keep doing that!” She mewed out, reaching her paws up to him.

Neil grinned and dropped to his elbows, throwing his arms around her, those soft furred breasts pushing to his own scarred and inked-up one. His hips seemed to just adjust to the position as they shoved into another heated kiss, her legs wrapping around him possessively.

Their tongues flicked and rolled before she broke the kiss with a loud gasping hiss, moaning as more of her honey gushed onto his sacs as he sighed and panted, sweat dripping off his forehead.

“Y-you okay, Neil?” She pushed a paw to his cheek, staring into his blue eyes, feeling him rocking and stroking even through her orgasm.

“Yeah, Crystal… J-just a long show and my hips are killing me already!” He laughed awkwardly and shook his head. “B-But I got you, no worries! You feel like heaven even if it’s hot as hell in you… I want to savor it!”

“C-can you rock back with me? I’ll ride and give you a break, how's that sound, babe?” She mewed out and rubbed at his jaw even as he kept pushing.

He showed her an excited grin as she stammered out the pet name and nodded. “Huff… Okay… just hang on…” He felt her wrap her arms around his neck as he composed himself, then grunted as he rocked back, pulling her with him as he flopped back to sit.

“Fuuuck…” They both slurred out the word simultaneously, him from how tight she was and her from just how much deeper he was pushing when she was on top.

“Oh fuck… oh fuck babe… give me a sec…” Crystal panted as she put a paw on his chest, shuddering as she felt her body going through it again. She’d came more tonight than she had in months.

“This mean… I can call you babe after all?” He gave her a wink as he slid his paws over those hips while she started to rock them, digging him nice and deep at her core.

“Y-you know what? I liked it… when you called me pretty k-kitty… so I’ll accept that, deal?” She panted as she pushed both paws to his shoulder, both of them nose to nose as she rocked her hips, slapping against his lap as that massive otter cock jumped deep inside her walls.

“Deal… deal… oh fuck yes, Crystal… gods…” He pushed a paw to her cheek, panting into her face, his other paw rubbing at her nice full rear while she rocked.

“Y-you’re panting a lot… you… almost there, babe?” She asked with her own pants, feeling herself already building up. He was so deep, no matter how she shifted, he seemed to hit spots, all the spots, her toe-paws just staying curled as she shifted her hips.

“Y-yeah sorry… you’re just so fucking good and tight… I’m about to lose this fight, pretty kitty…” He gave her an apologetic smile.

“D-don’t apologize, fuck this is… the best sex I’ve ever had… Do you…” Crystal bit her lower lip then huffed out as she pulled close, wrapping her arms around his neck. “Neil, grab my hips and pull me down as hard as you can…” She looked him in the eyes, nose to nose. “I want you as deep as you can get when you lose it!” She hissed the last orders as his own eyes widened.

His body followed her orders instantly, his paws slapping to her hips as he hauled her down with a final loud slap, Crystal's tongue lolling out from the forceful impact to her core, then she gave a loud throaty mewl of a moan as his cock jumped hard before sending a thick hot rope straight inside.

“Oh my gods!” Neil cried out, his claws digging into her hip fur, Crystal just clenching her teeth, nodding her head to his decree as she felt his fire just pouring in, her own honey gushing into his lap fur while her hips rocked in his paws.

“I- I might… be in love… fuck…” Neil stammered out, collapsing back on the couch with a winded groan, his eyes looking distant as Crystal offered up a deep loud purr for him, feeling the last gushes wrung in from her clenching walls. After a few more moments, she collapsed onto his chest, feeling his arms weakly hold her.

“Shit… shit… I wanted to fuck you longer…” He almost sounded like he was pouting as she nuzzled at his throat.

“I’m not sure if I could have taken much more, babe… That was… ” Crystal rocked back and gave him a grin as she panted.

Neil grinned back weakly and then perked his ears. “Ah… what’s up, pretty kitty?”

Crystal composed herself as she offered her paw. “Unlock your phone and pass it to me.”

He gave her an excited grin and awkwardly fished it out of his pants pocket, his jeans half on him around his knees before he unlocked it and passed it to her. Crystal smiled at the wallpaper, a picture of him and the rest of the band. She moved to his contacts and quickly added her number and name, adding a little heart emoji icon next to it before she passed it back. “Here you go, babe. Just make me one promise.”

He stared at the phone as if he’d just been passed a winning lottery ticket with all the numbers, then met her eyes. “Name it, pretty kitty!”

“Don’t call, or text me until tomorrow night.” She tapped his nose and offered a crooked grin. “That way, if you wake up tomorrow and decide you just wanted a one-off, I don’t have your number, and we can just write it off as a good memory, okay?”

He lifted his muzzle and set his phone down. “I’ll absolutely text you tomorrow then. I want to see you again after the tour, we need to see if we’re as good together on dates as we are like this, right?”

Crystal grinned and leaned in, kissing his lips before whispering against them, “Yeah, I’d like that… Here’s hoping then, babe…” She didn’t let him answer, instead drawing him into another deep kiss, their tongues meeting.

Their kiss broke as a loud bang came to the dressing room door, she heard Ivory’s voice call out from the other side. “I’m happy for you bitch, really I am! But the buses are leaving for BOTH our groups in twenty minutes, so wrap it up!”

Crystal and Neil just both grinned at one another before he shrugged. “I’m gonna miss you, I promise I’ll text, even call if you want… I wanna see you again, Crystal…” He leaned in, kissing at her jaw a few more times.

“I hope you mean that, I’m single for a reason, Neil. I’ve been done dirty so many times by guys, but just keep your promise, sleep on it, okay?” She offered him that grin one more time, rubbing his jaw.

He took her paw, kissing it a few times before meeting her eyes with a determined look. She could see the years in his eyes, the ups, the downs, plenty of pain and heartache, but probably good times too. “I promise, pretty kitty.”
