Everything seems to be peaceful on the ranch for the males living there. That is until one angry vixen tries to get her revenge on them and invites the law to intervene.


Ch. 4 Horsing Around with the Ex

The next morning, Joey woke up to make pancakes for everyone and soon, everyone assembled for breakfast and their morning tasks.

"Alrighty." Joey nodded, getting up from the table and stretching before beginning to gather up everyone's plates. "Bobby, yer gonna be goin' out to take care of the stallions, right?" "Yup." The youngest tiger nodded. "Alright. Billy, Josh, you wanna head out n' help him?" Joey grunted. "Gonna have Hank stay inside today to help me with some projects round the house in the meantime.”

Billy smiled. He always loved working with the horses. After getting dressed, the stallion, tiger and human went off to the stables together.

"So..." Josh nickered quietly as he followed Bobby and Billy. "You and the stallions... uh...?" "Yup." Bobby nodded, completely shameless as he pushed the door to the stables open. The rich and pungent scent of hay and animal musk wafted out, washing over the three males. "Don't got a problem with that, do ya?" "Oh, not at all!" Josh blushed. "I, uh... kinda... got a thing for ferals myself..." "Really...?" Bobby grinned. "In that case, yer gonna fit in just fine here.”

Alpha was the first one as he greeted them at his stall door with a hearty whinny that signaled everyone's attention.

The other horses looked up, snorting and nickering in greeting as well as Bobby lead the two others to Alpha's stable. He reached over the stall door to rub Alpha's neck, cooing to the massive feral stallion. "Yeah, that's right, babe. We're here to take care of you and the other big boys..." He nuzzled the stallion's snout, and then pressed a kiss right to Alpha's lips. "Fuck, he's so..." Josh stared in open awe at Alpha, blushing and nickering quietly. Bobby grinned, looking to him while continuing to pet Alpha's neck. "So... what?" Josh huffed. He shifted from foot to foot, ducking his head shyly. He finally murmured out. “...Sexy."

"Well, don't be shy," said Billy softly, "He'd probably like you even more without your clothes. Go on.”

Josh nodded, looking right at the alpha stallion and nickering as he stripped his shirt off. Alpha nickered in return, pawing the ground, and another waft of animal musk filled the air as his penis began dropping from his sheath. The sight of it spurred Josh on, and soon enough he was completely naked and moving forward to stroke Alpha's neck as well. He snorted and let out a quiet whinny, and then alpha moved to nuzzle against his chest and into the anthro stallion's neck. Bobby grinned. "Looks like he likes you." "Y-yeah." Josh grunted softly, and moved to nip at Alpha's flicking ear with a playful snort. "Flirty old bastard…"

Billy came up to Bobby and asked, "You think Josh can handle Alpha? I was hoping I might spend a little time with you for a moment or two.”

Bobby chuckled, and looked to were Alpha and Josh were nuzzling and snorting to each other. "You wanna head in his stables and see if you can't keep him busy while me n' Billy talk, Josh?" "Mm? Ohh, fuck yeah..." He crawled into the stables, pressing himself against the feral stallion with a quiet nicker. "I'll take care of him. Good care." "Good." Bobby looked down to Billy, smiled, and winked. "Come on.”

The two brothers walked along till they found a small, empty space that was full of soft hay bales. "So, Bobby, I noticed that you've never gone to college after high school. Why is that?" asked Billy.

"Honestly? Cuz I wanted to stay here and help Daddy. Both with raisin' you, and with runnin' the farm." The tiger shrugged softly, laying down on the haybales and pulling Billy down on top of him. "I like it here, and never wanted to run off n' go to college.”

"But didn't you ever fall in love, besides with me and Hank?" asked Billy as they lay down together on a blanket that Bobby had gotten out from the saddle storage room.

The tiger blushed. "Well, I've had... crushes, yeah." He slowly stroked the human's stomach while laying Billy's head on his shoulder. "But uh... besides Daddy, Hank, and you, none of 'em were on, uh... anthros.”

"You mean... your first love... was with the horses on our ranch? Who was your first?" asked Billy as he felt his cock grow hard at the thought and he snuggled into Bobby's embrace.

"Alpha, actually." Bobby smiled, nuzzling his hot cheek against Billy's and purred." Even when I was, uh... younger... he was a flirty old bastard, like Josh says." He chuckled. "I swear he knew every single time I tried taking a peek at him, and would always turn to the side or lift his tail to show off. Looking right at me while giving me that whinny of his…"

"So... When did he breed you? Or did you breed him?" asked Billy softly as they looked over to see Josh sucking on Alpha's cock.

"Snuck out here to the stables one night, and went into his pen to sleep with him." The tiger wathed the anthro stallion bobbing on the fat feral cock, moaning as his own erection tented his jeans. "Kissed him and touched him all over, and tried to suck his cock, but uh... it was way too big for me back then. So he let me breed him, yeah." Bobby smiled and blushed in remembrance. "Fuck... I'll always remember the first sniff I took of his hole. And when I came inside him, he..." The tiger laughed softly. "He came, too. All over the stable floor.”

Billy chuckled. "And when did he first fill you?" asked the human as he reached down to grope at Bobby's bulging erection.

"We started practicing over the next couple weeks. Me comin' out here to suck on his cock and hole and then bending over to try to fit his dick in me. Could barely take his flare at first, but... we managed." The tiger grunted softly, and reached down to undo his fly and push down his jeans to free his erection. "After that first week we decided it might be better fer me to practice with some of the colts and younger stallions. So he stayed by my side and let me eat his ass out while I took those dicks till I could fit 'em to the hilt.”

"Wow... I guess that makes Alpha your first boyfriend, huh?" asked Billy as he snuggled up to Bobby and looked at his older brother with affection and admiration.

Bobby laughed, blushed, and kissed Billy slow and deep. "Yeah, I guess so.”

"I'd like to share my love with him too... Bobby, you've been here longer than I have and I've always admired how you handled things while Hank was in college and how you helped Daddy with chores and me with my school homework... I love you," said Billy.

Bobby smiled, and drew the human into a slow, soft, deep kiss. "And I love you, Billy. Always have, n' always will.”

Billy smiled as he kissed his brother lovingly and he stripped himself naked before the tiger before going down to suck on Bobby's cock.

Bobby moaned, stroking through Billy’s hair as the human bobbed on his pulsing, dribbling erection. "Mmmg... so good, Billy... Guess you've had lots of practice the last couple days, huh?" He grinned down to the human, warm and loving.

Billy smiled as he crawled up the tiger's body and kissed his brother on the lips. "Ready to breed your little brother?" he asked softly.

"Oh, am I." The tiger groaned into the kiss, his hands moving down to knead Billy's rump. To push the human's t-shirt up, and then slip between them to undo Billy's fly. To push his little brother's pants down so he could grab a handful of soft, pert rump in each palm.

Billy moaned a he felt Bobby grope his rear. They looked over to see Josh was moaning from being bred balls deep by Alpha.

The anthro stallion was leaning on the stable door, grunting and moaning with every powerful thrust from the massive beast rutting him. That fat feral dick was stretching Josh to his limit, and the horse was loving every single moment of it.

"Breed me, Bobby," moaned Billy softly, "I can't wait much longer." His heat was overwhelming and it even caught the attention of all the other stallions too.

The sound of nickering, snorting, and pawing at the ground filled the air, along with the rich smell of a group of stallions all springing throbbing erections at once. Bobby grinned, breathed in deep and moving to lift Billy's legs and position his cocktip at Billy's entrance. "Been waitin' for you to say that." And with no further ceremony, the tiger pushed himself balls-deep into the human's ass.

Billy moaned as he felt the tiger breed him and he was almost ready to cum himself. "I... I don't think I'll last very long," whimpered the human as he clung to Bobby, "Please... Breed me... I want to have your cubs just like Daddy and Hank... along with Josh's foal.”

"Don't worry about it." Bobby pressed a kiss to Billy's lips. "Just lay back and enjoy my dick in you, l'il bro." The horses shifted in their stables, their cocks dropping from their sheaths to throb in the air. They whinnied, getting worked up the more that rich smell from Billy's backside filled the stuffy air of the stables. Even Josh and Alpha, who'd finished their own breeding, were affected by it; the two stallions, feral and anthro, feeling their erections grow firm once more at the sound and smell of Billy being rutted.

Josh looked to Alpha. "Think you can help me with the other stallions?" asked Josh to Alpha who nodded his head in an affirmative and they both went to each stall to collect the semen of each stallion with Josh taking each young stallion's cock and Alpha would have a bucket ready in his teeth to place under Josh. Billy whimpered as he held onto Bobby and he could feel himself close already. "Cum inside me, Bobby... Please... Breed me," whimpered Billy.

And Bobby did. He went faster. Harder. Slamming into Billy until he hilted, threw his head back, and came with a yowl of pleasure. Shot after shot of his thick seed spurted deep into Billy's passage, filling him up. Josh smiled at the sound, groaning in satisfaction as he felt a younger stallion spurt inside him, too. As he pulled himself off that feral cock he pressed against Alpha and gave the horse a slow, deep kiss. "Yeah, I'm gonna love it here.”

The feral stallion seemed to smile as he nuzzled Josh, feeling happy to have found his true love and he licked Josh's cock clean as well. Billy moaned as he came at the same time Bobby did. They both kissed and the human kept on kissing his brother. "I love you, Bobby," moaned Billy, "I love you so much.”

"I love you too, Billy. So, so much." The tiger purred, gently pulling out and kissing his way down Billy's body. Snuffling into Billy's armpits before licking the sweat out of them. Giving each of the human's nipples a soft kiss before moving down to slurp up the mess Billy had made all over his own stomach. Even moving down to lap at the human's still-dribbling hole, cleaning it a bit before pulling Billy into a snuggly cuddle.

"That was... Good," said Billy softly and he looked over to the side and chuckled, "And it looks like Josh and Alpha have been busy. Look at all those sperm containers." And in fact, Josh, along with Alpha's help, had more than five dozen collected sperm containers from every stallion in the stable. "How about I take Josh to the outside shower?" asked Billy to Bobby, "Looks like he's all worn out.”

Indeed, the anthro stallion was curled up against Alpha's side, the feral horse laying on the ground and nuzzling, licking, and nickering to his new mate. Josh moaned and snorted in return, whinnying in bliss as he kissed along Alpha's neck. Bobby laughed softly, nodding to Billy. "If you can pull him away from his boyfriend. I'll get the sperm containers to storage while you n' him get cleaned up.”

Billy smiled as he got up and walked over to the two stallions and he stroked Alpha's side. "Hey big guy," he said to the feral stud, "Think you can help me get your 'mare' to the outdoor shower? Looks like he could use it.”

Alpha nickered, nuzzling Billy and giving the human a lick on the chest. Then he grunted and slowly got up, allowing Josh to support himself on the feral stallion's side. "Mmmf... thanks, Billy. And as for you..." He rubbed down to Alpha's underbelly, nickering and nibbling on the feral horse's ear. "I'll come back out tonight, and see if we can't get a few more foals in me." Alpha whinnied softly, and both Josh and Billy could see the feral stallion's penis drop a little from his sheath.

"You know, I didn't think you'd be fertile too," chuckled Billy as the nude males walked out of the stables and Billy started the shower head to let the warm water run down their nude forms when they were both rudely interrupted.

"There you are." Karen was glaring at the two of them, trying to keep her eyes above their waists. "Ugh, for god's sake, what do you want, Karen?" The stallion wrapped an arm around Billy, pulling him in close and glaring at the vixen.

Billy scooted closer to Josh fearing Karen might mean business as he spotted something in her hand and the vixen was looking angry.

"What I want is for you and that little faggot of yours to pay for the humiliation you put me through." She snarled, and then smirked as she held up the object in her hand; her cellphone. "I got a nice, good look at that little horsey ride you just took. Would be a shame if it got out that you were a sick fucking freak, wouldn't it?" Josh snorted. "You wouldn't fucking dare." "This is why you don't fuck with us foxes, babe." A sneer. "Now then…"

Suddenly, Alpha burst out and started to charge at the vixen letting out an angry snort.

She screamed and dropped her phone as Alpha charged at her, the stallion's hooves crushing it underneath them. After Karen had managed to fling herself over the fence, still howling obscenities and threats, Alpha cantered back over to Josh and Billy with a snort. "Alpha, you..." The anthro stallion stared up at the feral, and then moved forward to hug Alpha's neck. The feral stallion let out a soft whinny, nuzzling the other horse. "Thank you.”

Billy smiled as he too hugged the feral. "Good boy," he said, "You did what we couldn't do. Thank you.”

Alpha whinnied again, nuzzling Billy as well; and even flicking his ears playfully as he dipped down to lick at the human's chest. He then turned, flicking his tail -- making sure that both young men got a good look at the puffy pucker underneath, as well as the full balls swinging between his hinds -- before cantering back towards the stables. "Mm... horny old bastard." The anthro stallion smiled, his cock pulsing a little bit at the sight.

Billy smiled as he kissed Alpha on the lips before the stallion left and he turned to Josh. "So... Where were we?" he asked.

"I believe we were getting nice and cleaned up." Josh grinned, gently taking Billy by the hips and pulling the human with him back under the warm, flowing water; and into another slow, soft kiss.

"I love you, Josh," said Billy softly as he kissed the anthro stallion when Alpha came up again and was licking Billy's cock.

"I love you too, Billy." He smiled, looking down to Alpha and gently turning Billy to give the feral horse full access to the human's crotch. "And Alpha loves you, too." Indeed, the feral horse was snuffling happily into Billy's crotch as his tongue caressed the human's shaft. Licking and lapping against it. He even managed to wrap his lips around it to 'suck' on Billy's cock with a low, rumbling whinny.

"Oh... Alpha," moaned Billy as he felt weak in the knees and he felt hard all over again, "I... I want you to breed me too.”

Another whinny, which Josh interpreted for Billy. "He wants you, too." The anthro horse blushed and nickered. "He can smell both of our breeding holes, and wants to put an entire herd of foals in us.”

"Then let's not disappoint our alpha," said Billy as he walked over to a bench and got on his hands and knees.

Josh and Alpha moved behind the human, the anthro horse getting onto his knees to lick and slurp all over Billy's hole, getting it nice and slick. When he was done, he helped hold Alpha's fat feral erection up so that the horse could move over Billy and guide its flaring head forward to kiss the human's pucker. Alpha whinnied, and immediately rocked forward to pop into Billy, but Josh's grip on the feral stallion's cock kept it from pushing too far into the human too fast.

Billy moaned as he felt Alpha enter him and he panted as his cock was leaking pre endlessly and he pushed himself slowly further onto Alpha's cock.

"Mmmf... fuck, that's so hot..." Josh was staring at the way Billy's hole flexed and squeezed and stretched around Alpha's massive stallion erection. "It's not too much for you, is it?" Alpha snorted, already starting to buck his hips. His heavy ballsack slapped against Billy's rump. "Mmf, I know, Alpha. But I wanna make sure.”

"It's.... Amazing," panted Billy, "I never knew... It would feel... This good." He looked up at Alpha as the feral stallion leaned his head down to nuzzle the human.

Another soft nicker. A lick on Billy's cheek. A push as Josh's hand slipped back down towards the base of Alpha's cock. The median ring popped through the human's pucker, followed by yet more of that enormous, pulsing feral shaft.

"Oh, yeah!" moaned Billy as he was panting and he had a goofy grin on his face, "Hump me, Alpha.”

Alpha did, rocking and pumping his hips. Josh finally let the feral stallion's cock go in favor of moving behind Alpha, sniffing and kissing and suckling on those thick and heavy balls as they swung with every thrust. Alpha started to go faster and harder, snorting as more and more of his cock sunk into Billy.

And it wasn't long till Billy felt himself getting filled with horse cum and he whimpered as he felt some of it squirting out around Alpha's cock, but then the stallion leaned his big head down to comfort the human.

Alpha nuzzled and licked Billy, pressing his snout along the human's flushing cheek and neck. And as he snorted and nickered, he could almost swear he understood the feral horse; those sounds a soft murmur, something close to 'love you’.

"I love you too, Alpha," said Billy as a tear came to his eye and he kissed the big horse.

The feral stallion's tongue pushed out to fill Billy's mouth as he pushed a little further. A little deeper. And then, Billy felt the entirety of Alpha's cock hilted inside him; not fully erect, but still pumping out his thick feral load as his hefty sack ground on the human's taint.

Billy moaned as he felt Alpha slowly pull out and then the stallion nudged Billy up against the wall so he could lick up what was left.

Lapping over each pert rump cheek. Into the dank and cum-filled cleft. Slurping up the dribbles that had run down Billy's thighs and balls, and then lapping the human's gaping hole clean. Josh groaned softly as he watched, pumping his own cock as it spurted its load onto the floor. "Damn, Billy... you took Alpha like a champ.”

"And...for a moment... I think I understood him..." panted Billy as the big stallion clopped over to help the human up.

Josh nickered, moving forward to help as well, and then moving into a three-way nuzzle with the human and feral stallion. "Mmm, heard that can happen sometimes when you're really close with one of them." He smiled to Alpha, snorted softly, and gave the feral stallion a kiss on the lips.

"Is that true, Alpha?" asked Billy surprised. In all his years, he had never heard of actually talking to a feral before.

The feral just whinnied softly, nuzzling Billy with a smile on his face.

Billy smiled and hugged the big horse. Later, they all got cleaned up again but when they came inside, they saw Joey looking grave as he hung up the phone.

"Daddy?" Bobby raised an eyebrow. "What's wrong?" "Bit of trouble." Joey sighed. "Someone apparently called the sheriff's office about stuff happening down here. They're sending someone out to check the place out." "Karen." Josh snorted, scowling in anger.

"You don't mean... Oh, no," said Billy as he hugged Joey, "Don't tell me we're gonna lose our home.”

"No, no, it's not that dire." Joey hugged Billy in return, pressing a kiss to the human's forehead. He looked to the other four young men, and nodded. "Listen, all of you stay inside. I'll talk with the sheriff, and make sure everything's alright. If he does ask to speak with y'all, I'll call y'all out. Alright?”

They all nodded. But then, they heard a car pull up and saw familiar colors of the sheriff's office on the car and out came the sheriff himself, a muscular, well built German Shepherd, and an angry, frazzled Karen.

"Aw, hell." Joey sighed, and looked to the boys before nodding. He headed out, calling out to the sheriff. "Officer Gerald! Good to see ya...!" Billy, Hank, Bobby, and Josh huddled by the door, watching the scene unfold. They saw Karen screeching and pointing at Joey, and then towards the house. Then Joey draw himself up, his arms crossed over his chest. They saw Sheriff Gerald sighing and kneading his brow as he spoke to both the tiger and vixen.

"Will Daddy be alright, Hank?" asked Billy looking to his oldest brother worriedly and he looked at Karen, who walked off to the side to grab her cell phone but just as she picked it up, Alpha came charging out again. Billy broke loose from the group and rushed out the door to calm the feral.

"Ahhhhhh!" Karen screamed, moving back as Alpha loomed over her, pawing the ground "Officer, you see! It's fucking rabid! It tried to kill me, and now it's trying to kill me again! It needs to be fucking put down!" "Calm the hell down." Joey growled, scowling at Karen. "Alpha ain't rabid, and if you'd take two seconds to look at him, you'd see that.” Officer Gerald moved up behind Karen. "Miss, I'm gonna have to ask you to calm down-" "I can't calm down! That thing is a fucking menace! And that bastard's freak sons... they're all fucking menaces!" She growled, clenching her fist around her phone -- apparently, she'd been able to recover the trampled thing -- and then throwing it at Alpha.

"NO!" yelled Billy as he stepped in front of Alpha, but the phone had been thrown so hard that it hit Billy in the forehead knocking him out cold. Alpha saw there was blood coming from where the phone had hit the human. Instead of charging at the fox again, the stallion lay down to lay the human against the feral's side and he lay his head on Billy's lap protectively.

"Billy!" Joey ran over, kneeling by the human's side. The others began rushing over, too, concern for the human plain on their faces. Joey glared at Karen, and then looked at Officer Gerald. "She's the only fuckin' rabid thing here! Comin' on my damn property and harrassin' us all this time, n' now assaultin' my boy!" "He fucking deserved it!" Karen scoffed, glaring at the assembled group. "Disgusting little faggot-" "Alright, that's enough out of you, Miss." The German Shepard moved over, grabbing Karen's wrist and taking the handcuffs off his belt. "Please do not resist." "The fuck are you doing?!" Karen resisted, alright; squirming and kicking and screeching as she was handcuffed and dragged toward the squad car. "You can't do this to me! What the fuck is your badge number?! I'll tell your boss' boss' boss about this!" As she was pushed against the squad car, she began to scream and cry "RAPE! SOMEONE HELP, HE'S RAPING ME! RAPE!" "Fucking psycho." Hank snorted, watching in satisfaction as the vixen was shoved into the back of the squad car by the now-growling German Shepard.

Alpha nudged the human. Luckily, Billy was still breathing. When he woke up, he found himself in a hospital bed with a bandage wrapped around his head. He winced as he reached up to slowly rub it. "What happened?" he groaned.

"Billy!" That was Bobby; the younger tiger brother was sitting in a chair by the hospital bed. He jumped up and move over to the bedside. "Oh thank heaven yer alright.”

"What happened?" asked Billy, "The last thing I remember was defending Alpha from Karen and then.... Bobby, is Alpha alright? What about the others- Agh!" He grunted as he felt his head throb painfully.

"Shh, shh." Bobby stroked Billy's back, and gently helped the human lay back down. "Alpha's just fine, she didn't hurt him at all. Daddy's down at the Sheriff's Office pressin' charges on that psycho bitch. Hopefully that'll keep her ass away from us." Bobby snorted. "Josh n' Hank are down in the hospital lobby, since they only allow one visitor at a time.”

"I want to see them," said Billy, "I have to let them know I'm okay and awake... By the way, how long will I have to stay here?”

"I'll go find a doctor, and let them know. You want Hank to come up first, or Josh?" Bobby gently took Billy's hand in his own, rubbing his thumb over Billy's knuckles.

"Could you tell the doctor that I'd like to see both?" said Billy, "But if he doesn't, I guess I could see Hank first.”

Bobby nodded, pressed a careful kiss to Billy's temple, and then moved out of the hospital room. A few minutes passed before the door finally swung open again. When it did, though, Billy saw both Hank and Josh move into the room, followed by a doberman doctor. "Billy!" Hank rushed to the bedside, quickly followed by Josh. "Are you okay?”

"Hank," said Billy smiling holding the tiger's paw, "Yeah, I'm fine. Wish I could say the same for miss Sassy Tail. Bobby filled me in. Good riddance to Karen. But... I'm worried about Daddy. What's gonna happen?”

"Nothing, you don't need to worry." Hank smiled. "Everything's gonna be just fine. Once we get'cha outta here..." The doctor cleared his throat. "I just need to give him one more check to make sure he isn't suffering a concussion or anything like that. If he's recovered, then we maybe able to release him." He moved forward, smiling to Billy. "Hello, Billy, I'm Dr. Yeltsin. Been taking care of you while you've been out. Quite the nasty bump to the head you got there.”

"Yeah... Well, you should've seen the black eye I gave to the vixen who through her cell phone at me. You know, this might be the first time that anyone's ever been attacked by a cell phone, or do you have people being prone to flying cell phones before?”

Dr. Yeltsin laughed softly. "I honestly can't say that I have!" He reached into the chest pocket of his doctor's coat, pulling out an ophthalmoscope. He set a gentle paw on Billy's cheek and tilted his head back, shining the light into one of the human's eyes and then the other. "Do you have any ringing in your ears, or anything like that? Do you remember what you ate for breakfast this morning?”

"Yes, I remember having pancakes for breakfast this morning," said Billy, “But the only ringing I can hear is the one in the hospital lobby. Other than that, there's no ringing in my ear.”

The doberman glanced to Hank, and the tiger nodded. Dr. Yeltsin hummed, and then put his ophthalmoscope away. "Alright. Can you spell your name for me, tell me how many men are in your family, and what their names are?”

"Well, my name is Billy, B-I-L-L-Y. And I see my two tiger brothers, Hank and Bobby, Josh, the most handsome stallion I've ever met, aside from Alpha back at the ranch, and of course you, Dr.... Kiltsen? I'm sorry. It's just I've never heard of a name like that before," said the human.

"Yeltsin." The doberman laughed softly. "And, well, my family's from overseas. If you'd like, you can just call me Dr. Maxim. Max for short." He looked to Hank and, after receiving another nod in return, smiled to the human. "Well, you seem to've passed the cognitive test with flying colors. And since there wasn't anything concerning I saw on your CT scan, I think it's safe to say you're healthy. But if you feel any nausea, lightheadedness, or confusion, notify your brothers or father right away.”

"I will," said Billy, "Maybe we can see each other again sometime, Max?”

"We'd like to invite'cha to dinner, as thanks fer helpin' get our Billy-boy here taken care of." Hank smiled to the doctor; and when he glanced to Billy, he tipped the human a knowing wink and smile. "Hmm... that would be really appreciated. Why not?" The doctor smiled, and nodded to Hank. "It'd be my pleasure." "Honestly, we actually don't have a family physician." Hank chuckled "Are you takin' patients, doc?" "Well, I do most of my work for the hospital, but my brother and I do have a small family medicine practice in town as well. If you'd like to be our patients, I think we can take you on!" "Brother, huh...?" Hank grinned, and nodded. "That sounds good to me! What'cha think, Billy?”

"I think it's wonderful," said Billy, "What does your brother do?" "He's a vet, actually," said Max.

"Oh, nice!" Hank nodded. "We actually have some stallions on the farm. Ferals, not like Josh here." He chuckled, slinging an arm around Josh's shoulders. "Could definitely use a checkup on them, too." "That Alpha Billy here mentioned?" Max patted Billy's leg, giving the human a smile. "Yup!" "Well then, I'll let my brother know!”

"Sweet," said Billy smiling, "So... Who was driving?”

As the foursome was getting Billy checked out of the hospital and chatting with Dr. Yeltsin, a few blocks down Joey was talking with the sheriff in his office. They glanced out for a moment as they saw -- and heard -- Karen being dragged down the hall, her handcuffs having been replaced with a nice snug straight jacket. "Thanks again fer takin' care of that psycho, Gerald." Joey looked to the German Shepard with a nod and a slight smile.

"No problem, Joey," said Gerald and he blushed as he added, "How long has it been since high school?”

"Ho dang." Joey sat back in his chair, looking up at the ceiling. "Must be goin' on 30 dang years now. Time sure flies, don't it?" Joey looked to the German Shepard with a grin. "Sorry we ain't kept in touch. Luckily I haven't had a need ta call the sheriff down to my farm in that time." He laughed quietly.

"I'm sorry that you lost Mary," said Gerald, "My condolences." He could see that Joey really loved his wife and it must have hurt when he had to lose her when they had Bobby.

"Thanks." Joey nodded again. "I'm sorry she's gone, too. But she's left me two wonderful boys, and I've been able to have a third join the family since." He looked to Gerald. "What about you? You ever find someone ta settle down with? Maybe have a couple kids a' yer own?”

"Nah, I haven't had the time to," said Gerald, "At least... Not till I met you again. You know, I've always had a crush on you, Farm Boy.”

Joey blushed, and his tail flicked. "Heh, I always had a feelin'. N' honestly, if it weren't fer my pa... I would've gotten with ya if ya'd've asked." He looked the German Shepard up and down. "You've always been a handsome guy, Ger. Only got more handsome with age... if'n you don't mind me sayin’."

"You're not too bad yourself," said Gerald blushing, "Say, uh... Are you doing anything tomorrow night?”

"Hmm... nope. Wanna make sure Billy gets home safe and sound, but once he is..." He grinned, and leaned forward onto the desk. "You finally askin' me out on a date, Ger?”

The big dog blushed but his tail was wagging slowly. "Uh... yes," he said bashfully, "They say there's no time like the present.”

"Well then, I accept." The tiger got up from his seat, moving over to the german shepherd and setting a hand on his shoulder. "I'd be happy to date ya, Ger. And... do more, if ya wanna.”

Gerald smiled as his tail wagged happily. He was about to kiss Joey when they heard a muffled, angry scream from Karen. She was in her cell, but she was stamping her feet while wearing a strait jacket and a muzzle.

Joey rolled his eyes. "Lookin' forward to goin' someplace where we won't have her to spoil the mood." He paused, shifting from foot to foot. "...In fact... why don't'cha come over to the farm fer dinner tonight? We'd sure be glad to have ya, and I'd love ta introduce ya to my boys more properly.”

"I'd love to," said Gerald smiling as he held Joey's paw, "It really is good to see you again, Joey.”

"Good ta see you, too, Ger." Joey smiled back, giving Gerald's paw a squeeze as he looked into the German Shepard's eyes. "I should head on back to the hospital to check in on the boys, but... I'll look forward ta seein' ya again tonight.”

"You want me to give you a lift? I don't mind," said Gerald.

"Hey, sure!" Joey grinned. "It'd be greatly appreciated.”

They all went to the squad car and the canine got in the driver's seat and moment Joey got in, he snuck a kiss to the tiger's cheek. "That's just an appetizer of old times," chuckled Gerald.

Joey blushed and chuckled, looking over to give the German Shepherd a grin. "Just an appetizer, huh? Well, you know me... I ain't one for all that fancy stuff, so..." He put a hand on top of Gerald's, leaned in, and planted a soft kiss right on the canine's lips. He let it linger for a long moment, then flicked his tongue out to brush Gerald's lower lips right when he pulled away. "How's that fer an appetizer…?"

The dog was panting with his tongue hanging out after the kiss and his tail wouldn't stop thumping his seat.

The car rumbled to life, and pulled out of the station parking lot; and as Gerald drove, he and Joey kept their hands clasped together on the console between them. They arrived at the hospital a few minutes later, and the tiger caught sight of Bobby, Billy, Hank, and Josh just making their way out of the front doors. "There's my boys right now.”

Billy smiled when he saw Joey come out of the car. "Daddy!" he said as he opened his arms and hugged the older tiger.

"Hey, Billy-boy. Is everything alright?" Joey wrapped his arms around Billy, holding him tight and pressing gentle kisses to the crown of the human's head. He looked to Hank, Bobby, and Josh, who all nodded and smiled in return. "Yup. Got a little bump that still needs to heal, but otherwise he's hale n' hearty." Hank chuckled, patting Billy's back. "Just a little rest n' he should be right as rain, according to the doctor." "Good. That's good." Hank stepped back a bit, cupping Billy's cheek and pressing a kiss to the human's forehead. "I'm so glad.”

"Plus, we met the cutest doctor," said Billy, "And his brother's a vet too.”

"Oh you did?" Joey smirked slightly. "What a coincidence, I met the cutest sheriff." He looked over to the sheriff's car and waved to Gerald. "We kinda invited him to dinner, if that's aright." Hank ducked his head. "As thanks for patchin' Billy up.”

"That would be wonderful," said Billy, "We've even invited his brother too.”

Joey chuckled. "Did the same for Gerald, actually. He's an old friend of mine from way back in high school." He turned to the boys and nodded. "Well, looks like dinner's gonna be a real party tonight, boys. Whatdoya say we head on back so's I can get it started?”

"Yeah, I can set the table," said Billy. "Hold up there, brother. You're still in recovery, remember?" said Bobby. "Oh yeah," said Billy blushing, "I forgot.”

Hank chuckled, and gave Billy another pat on the back. "Don't you worry, l'il bro. You have the most important job..." He winked. "Resting on the couch and getting spoiled by all of us.”

"Ha ha. Very funny," sighed Billy as he got into Hank's pickup.

They all piled in, having to squeeze in together to fit into the cab, but they made it work.
