Part 1 - The deal
Be careful what you wish for, because you may actually get it...
I finished reading the latest chapter of Trouble's Tales and leaned back in my chair to think about it for a little while. That's when I heard a shimmering noise from the living room of my apartment, followed a few seconds later by a most unladylike curse. And a second voice, also female accused "Next time let me select the destination, you are so incredibly inept." Seems like I had some unannounced visitors.
I got up as quietly as I could and took my automatic pistol from the drawer and inserted a clip. Then I quietly tiptoed to the door, opened it and looked into the living room.
And nearly dropped the gun, when I saw my visitors. Two real-life furs. They stood close together, hunched over a PDA sized box that one of them held in her paws. They must have heard me for they both turned to me. When they saw me, they yelped in surprise and backpedaled until they stood against the wall, their eyes filled with fear.
"Please don't kill us." one of them, a rodent of some kind, pleaded.
I considered them for a few seconds. They both looked obviously female. The one who had spoken looked like a squirrel, her fur was brown, white and black. Her hair, was a slightly lighter shade of brown. Her body was rather stocky but very curvy and she had a long tail that was tightly wrapped around her left leg. She wore a light green dress that did not quite reach her knees. Her companion had reddish-brown fur, her throat was creamy white and her paws and her headfur were black. A canine of some kind, probably a fox. She wore a short dark blue dress that showed off her lithe body very well. Her brown tail hung between her legs, quivering slightly.
They both looked very cowed and afraid.
I pointed the gun at the floor and said "I won't hurt you unless you give me a reason to. But what are you doing in my flat? And how did you get in here?" They eyed me apprehensively but relaxed a little. I gestured in the direction of the couch "Have a seat." They quickly scrambled there and sat down, close together. They looked at each other for a second and linked paws, then they looked back at me.
"Well, ladies, would you care for a drink?"
They looked at each other for a second, then the vixen said "Water, please."
"Ok." I went to the kitchen area, not quite turning my back to them. I grabbed two glasses, filled them with water and put them on the low table in front of the couch. Then I got another glass for myself. I turned the easy chair around, so that it faced the couch and sat down. "Ok, so who are you, and what are you doing here?" I kept the gun in my hand, but not pointing in their direction.
They looked at each other, then one said "My name is Nicolle. I'm a thirteen-striped ground squirrel."
"My name is Melanie and I'm a vixen."
"Ok, well, my name is Stanley, I'm a human. Call me Stan."
The squirrel continued "We are travelers, more specifically dimensional travelers. I seem to have entered the wrong coordinates and we ended up here. Unfortunately we have to wait at least a week for our portal generator to recharge before we can try again to go home."
"So you have visited several different worlds?"
"Yes. We have been traveling for about a year now, and we have visited about three dozen different worlds. We have been here before as well. This was to be our last trip, back home."
"You have been here before?"
"Yes, it was one of the first places we visited, it was horrible!"
"Hmmm, why?"
They looked at each other, then the vixen continued "We arrived in a forest somewhere. We wandered about for a while, then we came out into the open. There was a large house, a farm or something like that nearby. We walked up to it to ask for help and had not even reached it, when the door flew open and a human rushed out. He carried a gun and aimed at me. We were lucky that he was a bad shot, otherwise we would not be here to tell the tale. We fled back into the woods. He must have called others to help him hunt us, because soon the woods were crawling with armed humans and feral dogs. We had to run and hide in the woods for a whole week, until we could escape this place." She shuddered as she remembered these events. "Twice we broke into a house, to steal food."
She looked at me, clearly afraid "Do you think the people here would try to kill us as well?"
I looked at her and shrugged "I don't think so. But would you bet your life on it?"
They shuddered and shook their heads.
"My guess is that you would be put into quarantine, if the authorities found out about you. And it's rather likely that someone would be really interested in that toy of yours and take it away from you."
Their eyes grew more and more afraid as they thought about this.
Another thought struck me, and I asked "You seem to have some rather advanced technology and you have been traveling to lots of different places, yes? You seem rather ill-equipped for the job."
After a few seconds, the vixen said in a small voice "We are traveling like this because of a stupid bet. We bet that we could visit three dozen different worlds and survive, taking only our clothes from one world to the next. On most worlds we did not have any problem finding help. On one world we did not meet anyone, but there we easily found food and the other necessities." She sounded a little embarrassed.
"Did you not check where you go before you do?"
"No, we can't. The generator does have a list of worlds that we can survive on and it does an automatic check of the target location and only allows one where we can survive. It would not dump us into the middle of a snowstorm, for example."
The squirrel said "When I programmed the last jump I was in a hurry and pressed the 'up' button once too often and selected the wrong target world." Her muzzle flared out in embarrassment.
Then she pleaded "Would you let us stay here and hide us until the generator is recharged and we can leave again? It will probably take a week, maybe ten days."
I smiled at them "Hmmm, tell me a little more about yourself and let me think about it."
#####
I thought about what they had told me, then I asked "So, you two would prefer not to risk meeting anyone else and to spend the week here with me? Or ten days, however long that device of yours needs to recharge so that you can go home again?"
Melanie, the vixen, said "Yes, please, the fewer know about us, the better."
"Ok, you can stay here. I'll get the guest bedroom ready." I looked at the clock "It'll be dinnertime by then. The shops aren't open today, so we'll have to make do with what I have in store." I got up and put my gun away.
When I came back, they stood up and Nicolle said "Thank you, Stan. I'm just sorry, that we don't have a way to repay your kindness."
I looked them up and down and grinned "Well, I'm sure if you think about it, you'll find a way to repay me. And make it worth my while to keep you safe and cozy."
They looked at me, confused for a few seconds, then Melanie grimaced and they looked at each other for several long seconds. Her shoulders slumped a little "You ... you want to ... mate with us?"
"Ummm, yes. I've been wondering what it is like to have sex with a furry for the longest time."
They looked at each other again, then Nicolle nodded and said "So, you'll keep us safe and well in return."
"Yes. I'll do what I can to make your stay as pleasant as possible, within reason. I can't really afford champagne and caviar, but I'll do what I can. I don't know how familiar you are with the technology we have here, but you can watch TV, surf the web, whatever. I'd like to know more about you and your travels as well."
"Ok."
"Is it ok for me to tell others about you? After you have left, that is. I don't think anybody would believe me, but it will make a nice story."
"Yes. So it's a deal?"
"Yes." We shook hands (and paws).
"Let's get you set up." We moved some of the stuff I had stored in the spare bedroom to my computer room or stored it in the closet. I fetched new bed sheets and found some clothes that might fit them.
Then I got them towels and showed them the bathroom. "Here is the hairdryer. You'll have to share a toothbrush until tomorrow, I only have one spare. What brushes and combs I have are in here. You can have a shower or a bath if you feel like it."
By then it was nearly dinnertime, so we went to the kitchen and went through my stores to find something edible for them. We settled on rice with broiled chicken and a mixed vegetable sauce. We watched the news as we ate. Then we made ourselves comfortable in the living room. They told me some more about their travels, and we talked about how their home compared to mine. Apparently their technology was quite advanced on ours, at least in some respects.
#####
It had grown rather late. I got up and said "Time for bed, I'd say. I have a few more things I have to take care of. If you'd please take care of your business in the bathroom" I grinned "and get ready for the night."
They looked at each other and got up as well. Nicolle asked "Which one of us would you like ... to have?"
I considered them, then I said "I'd like you, Nicolle."
She sighed "Ok, see you in a few minutes." and left the room.
I checked my mail and spent some time browsing the few discussion fora I participate in to see if there were any interesting messages. When I heard that they were finished with their evening business, I shut down the computer, fetched my pajamas and went to the bathroom myself.
When I came back into my bedroom, Nicolle lay on the bed. I closed the door behind me and considered her. She could not be described as "She wore only a smile." because she did not smile. I don't know if I could read the expression on her face correctly, but I would say it were a lot of different emotions, changing from second to second. Fear, anger, loathing, possibly self-loathing, humiliation, resignation, but I think a little lust as well. I considered her. She was rather pretty. The fur on her front was a bit lighter than on the rest of her body, more like creamy white, from her throat to a little below her belly button. I asked "Do you have all those stripes on your back as well."
After a few seconds she turned around to show me. She did have all those stripes, black and white, all thirteen. And with dots as well.
I said "Thank you, they look quite pretty. You can turn around again." and she did. I sat down at the edge of the bed and turned to her. Then I reached over and grabbed the covers and covered her.
The look on her face changed to one of pure puzzlement.
"Nicolle, I'm really sorry about all this." I said.
"What, why?" Relief, fear and other emotions fought on her face. "Am I not pretty enough? ... What is going to happen to us now?"
"No, I'm sorry for putting you through this. You are very pretty and I really would like to ... make love you. But not like this. It would be rape, nothing else. I kind of wanted to know if you would really do this. I'm really sorry for humiliating you like this."
"What about the deal we had?"
"Think about it. Did I really say that I would only do it if you did ... this for me?"
She considered that "No, actually you did not explicitly say it, but it was kind of implied."
"Well, yes. As far as I am concerned, this does not change anything for me. I'll do what I promised, but not in return for ... payment. I like you, and I really enjoyed your company today. I'll do this because you need the help." I grinned "And, as I said, I'd like to make love to you. But I don't want to rape you." I paused for a few seconds "Well, with that stunt I probably shot any chance that it might actually happen." I looked at her for a few seconds "You can leave anytime you want."
She considered me for several seconds, then she pulled the covers away and got up. She left the room, her tail held high, giving me a rather nice view of her backside. At least she did not slam the door.
I sighed, then I turned off the light and lay down, trying to find some sleep.
Part 2 - Consequences
Quite some time later, I had nearly managed to fall asleep, when the door suddenly opened. I sat up, suddenly afraid. Someone entered and closed the door again. Then she quickly padded over to my bed and sat down at the edge. I reached over and turned on the reading light. It was Nicolle, wearing only her fur.
She looked at me, clearly fighting for words. Finally she said "Would ... would you like to ... taste me?"
" Ummm." I had not really expected that.
She turned to me, spreading her legs a little to show where she wanted me to taste her.
I think my face went through all the different shades of red known to mankind. But I felt myself respond to this and was a little surprised to hear myself say " Yes."
She grinned, nearly jumped on top of me and started licking my face and throat. Her hair brushed across my face, filling my nose with her scent. She smelled incredibly good, perhaps a little musky, but very exciting. We kissed and licked each other for several minutes. Then she sat up and stretched, showing off her assets very nicely. Her nipples poked out of her fur. "So, do you want to taste some more?"
"Ummm, yes." I managed to stammer.
"Very good" She stood up. "But we are going to do it my way. Ok? You are going to enjoy this a lot. Get up!"
I nodded and got up.
She bunched up the covers at the end of the bed, sat down and reclined on them. Her tail was between her spread legs and waved invitingly. "Take off your clothes." I did. When she saw me, she grinned and licked her lips "Come here, on all four, so that I can show you what my tail can do. ... Now put your paws here." She patted the sides of her hips. "Very good."
I felt her tail brush over my belly, thighs and crotch, exciting me further.
"Now the most important rules. Once your tongue or your lips touch me, you won't stop ... and leave me hanging, as it were. You stay in that position and continue licking me until you have given me satisfaction. Ok?"
Up close, I could see that her fur was a little damp already. And her smell was incredible, it nearly made my head swim. I barely managed to say "Yes.", then I kissed her 'lips'. She sighed in contentment, put her paws on my head and ran her claws through my hair and scratched me behind the ears. I kissed and licked her lips and the fur on her thighs for some time. She tasted strange, a little musky, but very exciting. I could hear her panting and moaning softly.
Then I parted her lips with my tongue and began exploring her inside. She softly exclaimed "Yes!" and her moaning increased in intensity. She also got wetter and wetter.
Suddenly the bed shifted a little and I felt two paws encircle my backside and someone licked my cock. I tried to get up, but Nicolle must have seen her friend enter. She grabbed my ears, using only her claws. Melanie licked me again, then she playfully nipped at my testicles. When I looked up, Nicolle grinned at me and asked "You did not forget your promise, did you?"
I shook her head.
"You do like to find out what it is like to be licked by a vixen, don't you. I'm sure you are going to enjoy this, Stan."
I could only nod. They had me by the balls, well, kind of literally. I went back to liking Nicolle. As good as she tasted I had not really wanted to stop anyway. And as nice as her tail had been, it was much more pleasant to be licked as well. I took my time and explored Nicolle rather carefully, from time to time I pulled out and licked her fur a little, teasing her. Unfortunately her friend did the same with me. She would take me into her muzzle and wrap her tongue around me, then stop and go back to sniffing and barely licking. She clearly would not let me get off before I licked her friend to an orgasm.
So I thrust my tongue into the wet pussy as deeply as I could. Nicolle's moaning grew louder and quivers ran through her body. Finally she screamed and her thighs clenched my head. Her claws drew a little blood as she pressed her paws against my head. Her juices drenched my face. I liked up as much as I could.
Her friend got serious about it as well, she wrapped her tongue around my cock. Soon I spurted my load into her mouth. She continued licking me for a while, then she got up and playfully swatted my backside.
I got up and sat on the edge of the bed. They both sat down beside me, put their arms around me and started licking my face and chest.
Melanie, the vixen, said "He tasted really good. And he is so nice and salty now. Hmmm."
Nicolle looked at her "I'll have to try him as soon as possible." She looked at me "You didn't want to go to sleep anytime soon, did you?"
I groaned and rolled my eyes dramatically " Have mercy!" They just giggled.
"Hmmm, and the things he can do with his tongue..."
Melanie looked at me "You do want to taste me as well, don't you?"
When I did not answer, she took my hand and guided it to her crotch. She was quite damp. "You would not force a friendly lady to try to sleep like this would you?" She gave me the best 'pleading-dog look' she could fake.
There are times when it is rather difficult for a male to deny a female such a wish. The fact that her friend was caressing my balls with her claws and grinned at me, showing some rather impressive teeth did not help a lot. Her caresses were scary and exciting at the same time. "No." I choked out.
They continued licking and kissing me and much sooner than I had thought possible my body responded.
The vixen let go of me, climbed on the bed and reclined on the covers, spreading her legs wide and said "You know where everything is supposed to go."
"Ummm, yes." I had to do some rather difficult contortions to get into position, because her squirrel friend refused to let certain parts of my anatomy out of her paws. I put my hands on her hips, laid my head on her thigh and enjoyed the view and her scent.
She ran her claws through my hair, caressing my skin. After a minute she said "You won't fall asleep on me?!" It was only half a question.
"No, I'm only enjoying the view for a minute." Then I moved my head a little and kissed her 'lips'. She tasted quite a bit different from the squirrel femme, but I could not say who tasted better. I soon had her panting and moaning. Her friend also had some rather interesting tricks up her muzzle.
After basking in the pleasant feelings for some time, I got up and said "That's enough for today, I'm all wrung out." They giggled but got up and let me prepared the bed. I laid down, pulled up the covers, said "Goodnight, ladies." and turned off the light. But a few seconds later one of them pulled away the covers, they climbed into my bed and snuggled close to me, Nicolle on my right, Melanie on my left, covering most of me with their bodies and tails. They gave my face a few more licks, then they laid their heads on my chest. It felt rather pleasant and I was quite warm, even without any covers. I soon fell asleep.
#####
Sometime in the middle of the night I woke up. It felt strange to be covered only by two furry females. But it felt good to listen to their regular breathing and feel their hot breath on my chest. I could even feel the beating of their hearts. One of their paws had wandered south and covered a certain part of my anatomy that hardened considerably when I noticed this. As I did not want to wake them, I lay still and after some time I fell asleep again.
I was woken by a cold nose and a wet tongue. Spluttering a little I sat up and tried to keep their attention at bay. I looked at the clock and I found that it was rather late. I was late for work. Definitely late, even if I could teleport there.
When I tried to get out of bed, two furry arms encircled my waist and Melanie said "Come on, stay just a little longer."
Gently but forcefully I removed her arms "At least let me call my boss to tell him I want to take a few days off. And answer a call of nature."
I called my boss and took the week off. After taking care of some other business I went back to my bedroom. Where I found my guests lounging around in rather suggestive poses.
"Come back to bed, boy." Nicolle said and patted the bed between them.
"What do you have in mind, ladies?"
Melanie grinned at me "Come, lie down here and let us take care of things. You'll like it, I promise."
I climbed into bed and laid down between them, looking up.
Melanie held up a coin "I'll toss it to see whether I get head or tail."
I groaned at that.
She laughed, tossed the coin on my stomach and exclaimed " Head!" Before I could do anything, she swung one leg over my chest and positioned herself within easy reach of my tongue. I looked up at her, I must admit the view was very exciting. To say nothing of her scent. I ran my hands up and down her body, feeling the softness of her fur. She sighed in contentment. Then I felt someone lick my manhood. Soon I was hard enough and Nicolle positioned herself above me and guided my cock into her the wet heat of her sex. I shuddered in pleasure as she began moving her hips. Then the vixen put her paws on my head and gently poked her claws into the skin, to remind me of her impatience. I kissed her lips, then I began licking her. Soon she was panting and moaning and got hotter and wetter by the minute as my tongue explored her.
Then she screamed in pleasure and drenched my face in her juices. Gasping for breath I tried to lick up as much as possible, then I screamed my pleasure into her wetness. A few seconds later the squirrel femme climaxed as well. The spasms that ran through her vaginal muscles sent me to another peak. Exhausted (at least for the moment) they collapsed on top of me, nearly forcing the breath out of my lungs. For several minutes we lay like this, all jumbled together, trying to catch our breath.
"Hmmm, that was good." said the vixen, a slightly dreamy look on her face.
" Yes." The squirrel wetly kissed my cheek "You are fantastic, lover boy." Then she turned to her friend "But why did I let you toss that coin? I really wanted feel his tongue inside me once more."
The vixen looked at her "Yes, why did we do it? I wanted to know what his 'tail' felt like." She underscored that statement by taking the named member into her paw and squeezing it gently.
I groaned dramatically. But there are some discussions that you just can't win, especially if a rebel member agrees rather enthusiastically with the other side. Rather soon they had talked me into pleasing them the way they had wanted "all along". They generously allowed me to recover for a few more minutes while they licked and kissed me, all over.
Then the squirrel femme knelt over me and positioned her wet sex within easy reach of my mouth while her friend took matters into her own paw, as it were.
#####
It took me some time to recover enough to get up. They beat me to the clothes locker. "Hey, I've got to go shopping." Melanie grinned at me while Nicolle rummaged through the locker. She pulled out a pair of socks and gave one to me, grinning as well. My face felt very hot. When I had put it on, she gave me the other one, then a T-shirt. The pants came last, naturally.
I went to the living room, picked up a pen and paper and sat down at the table. They sat down as well, but they had not bothered to put on any clothes. "So, what would you ladies like to eat today." When they grinned, I added "Apart from me, that is. And don't tell me you are on a chocolate diet."
Melanie smacked a fist into her other paw " Damn! He's onto us!"
After a while we agreed on pasta for lunch and to order pizza for dinner. They also gave me a quite long list of other stuff that they needed such as brushes and shampoo. And a long list of treats that they would really like. Given their persuasive arguments I found it rather difficult to refuse.
When I came back, carrying several large bags, it was already past noon. I had difficulty concentrating on cooking with two naked females doing their best to "help" me.
#####
I got up from the table and sat down in the easy chair and leaned back, stuffed and content. Melanie cleared the table, then they both sat down on the couch and looked at me, expectantly. "So, what do you want to do with the rest of the afternoon?" I asked.
Nicolle stretched, showing off her assets rather nicely "Three guesses and the first two don't count." she said sweetly, batting her eyelashes at me.
Melanie giggled "I think he got it on the first try." she said, pointing at my pants.
I blushed hotly and groaned "Don't you ever think of anything else?"
"No, at least we won't for the next week or so."
"Why me?" I asked, nobody in particular.
Her smile dripped honey and poison "It's your own fault, buster."
"What, why?!"
The look on my face set off a bout of giggles. When they finally got themselves back under control, Nicolle asked "You remember what you asked of us yesterday?"
I groaned and blushed a little "Yes."
"Well, we decided if we had to do this, we might as well get as much enjoyment out of it as possible. So we used our medical implants to go into heat." She looked me up and down and licked her lips "And until it wears off ... In about a week or so ..." She grinned "You did promise to make our stay as pleasant as possible, didn't you?"
I groaned again "Yes. I guess I did." I put my face in my hands. When I looked up again I asked "You can't use that 'implant' of yours to cut this short?"
"No. Well, theoretically we could, but it would not be healthy." When I looked dubiously at her, the squirrel explained "Apart from combating diseases and some other stuff, the implant works as a contraceptive. It prevents us from going into heat by delaying it. We only had to stop it from doing that. Well, we set it to give us a little push as well, to speed up the process. But to cut it short, it would have to fight against our body and dump large amounts of hormones into us. This would be rather unhealthy and unpleasant and it would still take at least a full day."
She got up, sat down on my lap and rubbed her muzzle against mine, filling my nose with her scent. "But since you promised to make our stay pleasant..." When she kissed me full on the lips, I could not prevent myself from putting my arms around her and kissing her back. When we stopped, a little out of breath, she licked my ear and whispered "You have an exhausting week ahead of you, lover boy. But you'll love it, I promise." I found it really difficult to disagree with that.
She got up, grabbed my hand and pulled me out of the chair "Come on, let's have some fun."
Before I could do or say anything her friend wrapped her arms around me from behind, hooked her claws into my pants and asked sweetly "Are you going to take off these stupid clothes or do I have to rip them off?" gently nipping my neck. I took them off as quickly as I could, briefly fighting with a slightly painful obstruction. She turned me around and looked me up and down. Then she threw her arms around my neck and kissed me. As her tongue explored my mouth, I could not help putting my arms around her as well. Her scent and taste made my knees go weak, I staggered a little and might actually have fallen had they not supported me.
She broke the kiss and considered me "Are you ill, boy?"
I was still out of breath and could not answer.
Nicolle, who held me from behind, giggled "Let's get you to bed, boy."
Taking one arm each, they half helped, half dragged me to the bedroom. There they put me in the bed.
Melanie said "Hmmm, we need to find out what is wrong with you."
They both giggled a little. Then they "helped" me take off the rest of my clothes and examined me for some time, poking and prodding me, they did not leave out any sensitive spots. I'm pretty sure their examination was not really based on accepted medical practice, but it was quite thorough and after a while I found it rather difficult to concentrate. Unsurprisingly enough, they declared me unfit to leave bed. They did declare me fit for other duties, however. And I found that I was able and willing to perform them rather enthusiastically after only a little bit of encouragement.
#####
Tuesday, the week after:
It was only early afternoon when their portal generator had finally recharged enough to allow them to return home, but I had to fight to keep my eyes open. I felt wrung out, literally. We stood close together, arms linked. I kissed them both "Well, goodbye then. It has been a most ... interesting week."
They broke the embrace and picked up their clothes from where they had lain for more than a week and put them on. We all went to the living room where we had cleared a large empty area. I embraced and kissed both of them for the last time, first Melanie, then Nicolle "Will I ever see you again?"
Nicolle smiled mysteriously "Who knows? It was a fun week, perhaps we'll drop by if we happen to feel a bit ... lonely. Goodbye."
"Goodbye."
"Goodbye, ladies." I moved out of the way, to the door.
They stood close together, Melanie had the generator in her paws and typed instructions into it. Finally she was satisfied and engaged it. It started humming, then a glowing portal appeared behind them. Nicolle waved a last time, then she stepped into the portal and vanished. Melanie waved and said "You know, we could have ended ..." and disappeared in the portal. A second later it disappeared as well.
"Now, what did that mean?" I wondered. But I was much too tired to give this any thought, I just staggered to my bed and crashed in it. I barely managed to pull the covers on top of me, then I was out like a light.
#####
Epilog:
Seven months later.
I unlocked the door and entered my apartment after another tiring day at work. I took off my outer clothes and staggered through the living room, heading toward the kitchen. I nearly overlooked the envelope that lay on the floor. I picked it up and examined it, but there were no clues on the outside, it was a rather largish white envelope, nearly A4 sized. I opened it and pulled out the card inside.
My breathing quickened when I saw the picture on the front. It showed Nicolle and Melanie, grinning at me. They wore only their fur. The picture cut off just below their breasts with the nipples poking out just a little. Below that it said "Greetings from Melanie and Nicolle. Thanks for your presents." Puzzled, I looked at them for some time.
Then I opened the card to find a paper with another picture of them inside. On it they presented their backsides to me, tails raised playfully. They looked at me over their shoulder, grinning and showing me their tongues.
After some time I turned the page over to find another picture of them. They stood close together, hugging and wearing only a smile. They were pretty as ever, except for a small detail that did not really make them any less pretty. I dropped the card and sat down, hard. Their bellies were bulging.
The End
