After the party, Jason and his roommate head back to their rooms with their respective dates leaving Bailey to fulfill her earlier promise to Cooper and afterwards the new couple spend their first night together on Jason's couch.


Cooper sat at the far end of the couch where Bailey had been earlier, his weight pressing down on the blanket concealing the wet spot the shepherd had left after he’d made her cum. His head swam with the pleasant buzz of alcohol from the cans of cheap beer Jason had brought back for the party. His tuxedo colored friend now stood in the middle of the living room, the space dark apart from the light emanating from the television as it displayed a swirling trippy image to the sound of some obnoxiously aggressive rave music. Jason gazed down at Tucker’s phone and with a tap of his finger the music suddenly cut out, the absence throwing off Cooper’s senses as he had grown accustomed to the barrage. The duo were the living room’s only occupants as the party wound down. Tucker had his face in the fridge retrieving another beer while Brad, the masked raccoon who had stopped drinking earlier and sobered up, had elected to drive two of the girls they had brought over back home. The third, a rather cute coyote named Carmen, had elected to spend the night with Jason. Though from what Cooper had observed it had mostly been the feisty canine doing most of the flirting. She stood in the hallway chatting with Bailey as they waited on Tucker’s girlfriend Marie to finish in the bathroom, the excess of booze having had an effect on the women’s bladders.

“There, much better, I can’t stand his music.” Jason mused as he set the device down, the television still playing its trippy visual.

As the fridge door closed the bathroom door opened to reveal the collie, her spotted dalmatian boyfriend standing up with his beverage as Bailey took her turn to pee. Cooper wasn’t all that close with Marie or any of Jason’s roommates for that matter. He’d hung out with them at the house a number of times but he couldn’t say that he really knew much about them beyond the beer they liked to drink, and that Brad preferred reds while Tucker and Marie liked menthols for their drunk smokes.

“You need another beer man.” The black and white feline asked, pointing at the can in his friend’s hand.

“Nah bro, I think I’m good after this one.” Cooper replied, he still had half a beer left and he knew that a fresh one would push his heavy buzz well into the territory of being properly drunk.

“Cool, well you can crash on the couch if you need to.” Jason continued before making his way into the kitchen to retrieve another beverage for himself.

Cooper took a swig of his brew as Tucker and Marie joined him on the couch, the spotted canine propping his feet up on the coffee table as Marie leaned over to get the yellow lab’s attention.

“So that shepherd chick, is she your new girlfriend or something?” The tipsy collie asked, her breath smelling of vodka mixed drinks.

Cooper stayed in his laid back, slumped posture as he turned to answer Marie’s question while her boyfriend cracked open his beer.

“Well, maybe…hopefully.” He answered, a smile brewing on his snout.

“Bro, she’s been basically sitting on you all night, I don’t really know who she is, but you’re in dude.” Tucker piped up, leaning forward to look past his girlfriend.

Tucker wasn’t off in his observations, Bailey had spent most of the impromptu party sitting right next to Cooper, her leg pressed against his while her tail lay across his lap. There was no way that such a gesture was an accident, it was a clear sign of interest, a sort of “claiming” of a male as a partner or mate. Cooper knew it was part of the infamous “talk” for girls to be mindful of their tails as a wayward brush or bump might send the wrong signal. For boys too there were rules, he remembered with blushing embarrassment how his father had told him to remember to keep his own appendage in check since a wagging tail signified interest and attraction, and such a gesture wasn’t always appropriate.

“Heh, maybe…Bailey is cool though, Jason knew her I guess through a mutual friend so that's how she got invited to the range with us today.”

“I’m telling you bro…” Tucker continued.

“You should go for it Cooper! She obviously likes you.” Marie said in an excited tone, gently slapping the lab’s thigh as she encouraged him to pursue the girl further.

“We’ll see what happens.” He conceded as the dark furred shepherd exited the bathroom, her place taken by Carmen.

“Oop, we’d better be off to bed don’t you think?” Marie asked her boyfriend, the collie leaning back over as she noticed Bailey approaching.

Tucker patted his mate’s thigh before he rose with a slight groan, his beer in one hand while Marie clung onto the other.

“Goodnight Coop!” She whispered as she stood to join Tucker.

“Hey Jay, we’re off to bed man.” The dalmatian called out to his roommate who had begun to clear empty cans and bottles off the countertops.

As the feline answered with a simple “alright” Bailey sat back down next to Cooper, the shepherd leaning her weight against the lab who in return wrapped his arm around her as he let her weight ease back onto him. The feeling of her body pressed gently against his filled the boy with a deep warmth that soothed him to the core, despite his tipsiness he felt his muscles relax and his mind settle. It had been a long time since he’d experienced this and he’d forgotten the comfort such simple contact could bring. Cooper slipped his hand under Bailey’s shirt, rubbing her belly as she leaned more of her weight onto him. The shepherd’s thick fur slid between his fingers until he felt the soft pudge layered atop her firm muscles.

‘I could really get used to this…’ He thought as he heard and felt a deep exhale escape the female’s body as the same comfort and peace washed over her body.

The door to Tucker and Marie’s room closed with a gentle click, now only the sounds of aluminum cans being tossed into the trashcan could be heard as Jason continued his cleanup efforts. Cooper knew what the couple were about to do, and what his friend in the kitchen would be getting up to once his hook up was finished in the bathroom. Suddenly Bailey’s words from earlier slid through his mind.

“I’ll pay you back for that later.” She had said while the pair scrambled to clean up the mess they’d made.

‘Did she mean later as in like, tonight or as in LATER later…’ Cooper pondered the shepherd’s words as he rubbed her belly and tried not to let the thought distract him from the moment.

Soon enough the bathroom door could be heard opening once again as Carmen emerged, the feisty coyote immediately seeking out her feline companion for the evening.

“That boy better thank his friend…” Bailey whispered as she observed the coyote seek out her prey.

“Why? Did one of ‘em say something to her?” Cooper replied as he eyed the situation.

“Mhm, I was chattin’ with her and apparently she wasn’t going to come over until…was it Brad? Yeah Brad showed her a picture of him, I guess he’s been trying to get Jason laid or something.”

“Shit, guess he succeeded then didn't he?” The yellow lab chuckled as he spouted the rhetorical question.

“Heh, yeah, she told me she has a thing for cat boys…she also asked about you.” Bailey said in a low voice as Carmen started to lead Jason away from his self imposed cleaning duties.

“And what did you tell her?”

Jason gave the couch couple a small wave as he was led by the hand back to his bedroom

“Well…I told her that it looks like everyone in this house is getting laid tonight.”

The dark furred shepherd leaned her head back to make sure that her eyes made contact with Coopers to ensure that the golden furred lab got the message.

“Heh, easy girl.” He chuckled, patting her belly as the pair heard the door to Jason’s room thump closed. “Well, except Brad I guess.”

“What? I said I would pay you back! And yeah, poor Brad.” Bailey turned in Cooper’s grip in order to look him in the eyes properly.

“Yeah, but we don’t have a room, and Brad could be back any minute.” He consoled, brushing the shepherd’s bangs out of her eyes.

“Hmm, true…” Cooper could see the gears turning in Bailey’s head as she pondered a way to make things happen.

The shepherd bit her lip as something swirled in her brain, Cooper was relieved that she was still up for keeping her promise. Her words only confirmed to him that her earlier gestures meant exactly what he thought they had.

“How about a blowjob?” Bailey’s voice increased in volume, her tail wagging from the excitement.

“Shhh! Not so loud!” Cooper hissed as a jolt of fear shot through him.

“Oops sorry! Uh…how about a blowjob?” She whispered as her ears flattened from embarrassment.

“You ever given one before?” the lab asked as he pet his lover on the top of her head, his gentle voice easing her nerves.

“No…but I’ve um…practiced a bit…I have a few toys at home.” Bailey whispered in a desperately bashful voice as she admitted to what was once a closely guarded secret.

Her tough outward persona of a hard working rural woman was now totally replaced by the vulnerable young girl laying atop her lover. The promise of new experiences and sensations fuelled Bailey to step out of her comfort zone and let herself be loved, and to give love.

“Well why don’t you show me?” Cooper spoke in the most suave and sultry voice he could muster as he rubbed Bailey’s velvety ears.

“Here?” She asked, a touch of nervousness slipping back into her voice.

“Heh, in the bathroom dumbass.” the lab replied in a sympathetic but still playfully sarcastic tone.

“Tch, yeah yeah.” Bailey gently flicked Cooper's nose as a small hint of the girl’s grit returned in the face of his sarcasm.

Gingerly she rose up off of him, stepping onto the floor as Cooper lifted himself off the seat. The booze in his system made his head spin for a moment before the gold furred canine regained his balance. Cooper put his finger up to his snout as he padded silently past Tucker’s door with Bailey in tow behind him. The hallway was silent but he knew what was taking place in there out of sight. The bathroom door was next up on the right, its aged hinges creaking slightly as Cooper swung it open. Bailey hurriedly stepped inside as her lover held the door open, her heart racing and butterflies churning in her stomach as she slipped inside the cramped space. Only a small night light illuminated the bathroom and as Cooper locked the door Bailey was suddenly hit with the reality of what she was about to do. Cooper could see one of her fangs as she bit her lip as her tail twitched nervously behind her.

“Don’t be nervous, you’ll do fine.” He consoled her gently, taking her hand in his as he looked the dark shepherd in the eye, her features obscured in the dim light.

“Do you want me standing up or sitting down?” the lab asked softly as he realized that his lover had no idea how to get things started.

“Um…I’m not really sure, uh sitting I guess…”

“Well let's do this, here.” Cooper said in a calm voice as he unclipped his concealed holster for the second time that day, setting the piece on the top of the toilet tank to his left.

Bailey did the same, setting hers once again next to her lover’s as he unbuttoned his pants. The butterflies in the shepherd’s belly spun up into a tempest as she watched him pull his zipper half way down, the open denim exposing his tight blue boxer briefs.

“Just reach in and feel around a little…” He encouraged, his voice gentle and erotic.

Bailey reached forward, flipping her hand upside down as she slid it down Cooper’s abdomen. The raw contact sent a warm surge up the male canine’s spine as he felt her reach down into his underwear. His silky fur ran through her fingers as the tight fabric expressed the outline of her hand. Cooper opened his zipper all the way as he felt the tips of Bailey’s fingers discover his sheath. Bailey’s breath caught in her throat as she felt the velvety warmth fill her hand. The girl’s heart raced as she felt a real life male in her hands for the first time, her thumb running over the fuzzy hole that concealed her prize.

“Mhhhh, there you go.” Cooper sighed as he leaned his rear against the edge of the sink behind him.

The lab savored the feeling of Bailey playing around with him, her hand rummaging through his underwear as the shepherd satisfied a years-long curiosity.

“Go a little lower…” He said in a hushed tone as the narrow tip of his penis slid from its velvety hiding place.

Cooper heard Bailey’s throat gulp as she followed his instructions, it was clear the shepherd was trying to keep it together though her tense body told the true story.

“Be gentle with those.” Cooper joked in a soft tone, as he tried to put his lover at ease.

“Heh, I really got you by the balls now…” Bailey jabbed back as she too tried to calm herself through humor.

Cooper just rolled his eyes playfully and widened his stance as he felt the warmth of the shepherd’s hand gingerly explore his bits. She was careful to follow his instructions as she played around with the lab’s balls, gently feeling them and rolling them around in her fingers.

“Hmm, I always thought these would be kinda squishy…” She mused as she felt them up.

“Nope, and don’t try to make them.” Cooper teased.

“Well, don’t piss me off.” Bailey poked back, sticking out her tongue playfully.

‘Well at least she’s calmed down a bit.’ the lab thought to himself.

“Alright, you ready for me to sit down?” He asked, his tone a bit more serious now as he looked Bailey in the eye, her sarcastic look shifting into a determined but still cautious gaze.

Cooper flipped the toilet lid up, shuffling his pants and underwear off before sitting down. Even though Bailey’s confidence had grown, the sight of the boy naked from the waist still caused the butterflies in her soft belly to flutter. Feeling them was one thing but finally laying eyes on them was another matter. The shepherd couldn’t take her eyes off as Cooper sat down and scooted his butt forward to present himself to his lover. The pink tip of his cock poked out of the soft, cream colored fur of his sheath, a tiny clear drop hanging from it as the sight was burned into Bailey’s memory. Once again her nerves threatened to overcome her as she knelt down between Cooper’s knees. It was a lot for her mind to handle, the knowledge of the true purpose of a boy’s parts were, what they were supposed to do to her.

Bailey had always struggled with her own femininity, being raised by her father and grandfather she was expected to pull her weight like any other farm hand. She had seen how other girls her age had been raised by their mothers, they never had motor oil up to their elbows and couldn’t shoulder a rifle to save their asses. A part of her had always taken pride in the fact that she never needed help if she needed to change a flat tire or jumpstart her truck, that she knew more than the guy behind the counter at the auto parts or hardware store. But another part of her lamented the fact that she never got to experience what other girls her age had, prom nights and dates with cute boys, fooling around in the back seat well after they promised to be home. She had spent what would have been her prom night in the barn tagging the ears of newborn calves while their mothers mooed angrily at her.

‘Ok…time to make up for some lost time…’ She thought to herself as she leaned her snout in.

As she inched closer the shepherd’s sensitive nose was flooded with the heady aroma of male essence, the scent saturated her brain and ignited primal instincts. Her body knew what to do with this hardware, all she had to do was surrender to it. Bailey’s tongue darter around her lips before planting a heavy lap right on the lab’s balls. Cooper sighed and relaxed his body as he felt the heavy lick, a satisfied smile crossing his snout as he watched her.

“There you go, good girl.” He cooed as his right hand caressed Bailey’s ear.

With the switch flipped in her mind Bailey set to, stuffing her nose into the base of the lab's sheath and inhaling as much of his scent as possible while her tongue continued to lick and savor his masculine taste. By now more of Cooper’s length had emerged from his sheath as the combination of heavy breathing and licking on his most sensitive areas had aroused the tipsy pup’s member. Bailey could see it right in front of her as she licked, the tip dripping clear pre onto her snout as it hung over her face.

“Ready for the real thing?” He asked with a reassuring smile, shifting his hand from Bailey’s ear to his sheath, holding himself steady as he presented his penis to her.

Bailey pulled her snout out of the lab’s balls, looking up she made eye contact with the boy as she readied herself. Her mind swirled with the question of how it was possible that she’d gone from beating him in a shooting contest to sucking his dick in just a matter of hours. But it didn’t matter anymore to her, it was in front of her and this boy had somehow wiggled his way into her heart in a way that she wasn’t prepared for.

“Here goes…” Bailey whispered to herself as she lined her snout up with the cock held out for her.

Cooper let out a satisfied hum as he felt the warmth of the shepherd’s mouth envelop his cock, her soft tongue wrapped around underneath his length while her gentle suction coaxed more of him out. The pair maintained eye contact as Bailey began to slowly bob her head up and down, the bright pink length of the lab’s dick slipping in and out of her dark colored snout in the dim incandescent light. Bailey’s mind was ablaze with the sensation of having a real penis in her mouth for the first time. Even her practice sessions had been something of a guilty pleasure for the woman who had for so long viewed an act such as this to be one of submission rather than love. Each motion of her head brought more of the boy into her mouth where her tongue worked to pleasure him to the best of her ability. She felt his girth fill out as more of the canine’s blood was sent downstairs.

“Fuck you’re pretty good at this for your first time…” Cooper’s words were a pleasured groan as he placed his hand back onto the shepherd’s head, her ear slotting into the gap between his index finger and thumb.

Bailey wanted to respond to the praise, the knowledge that her actions gave Cooper pleasure filled her with pride as she stepped her pace slightly. But she kept the lab’s dick held right where it was in her jaws, letting her response to his words be physical in nature instead. Warm spurts of precum splashed against Bailey’s tongue as she rolled it around the boy’s penis, its length twitching somewhat as she worked it over. The Shepherd enjoyed the simple, somewhat salty taste of it, the constant splashing reminding her that she was doing a good job. Bailey could also feel Cooper’s knot bulging slightly in his sheath, that infamous aspect of canine anatomy that she knew she’d have to someday contend with. For now she focused on the task at hand as gentle sucking noises escaped her lips while her throat audibly gulped and swallowed.

Meanwhile Cooper couldn’t believe his luck, he’d just met this girl earlier today and here she was giving him head, his first blowjob in over a year. He hadn’t even been trying to talk his way into her pants, it had just sort of happened. Not that he was complaining as he savored the feeling of her tongue on his sensitive cock. The sight of it disappearing and reappearing in and out of her maw riled him up in a way he wasn’t used to. He supposed a part of it was who she was, a tough and rugged farm girl with a take-no-shit attitude who was certainly stronger than him, had his penis in her mouth, and seemingly knew what to do with it. Bailey appeared to be liking it too, she had broken eye contact, the shepherd shutting her eyes entirely as she leaned her face fully forward towards his crotch and got down to business. Her heavy arms rested on his thighs, pinning the lab to the toilet while her tongue extracted every drop from his cream colored balls.

“I’m not gonna last long, don’t stop though…” Cooper's words were a strained whisper as his knot finally made an appearance.

The golden canine basked in the sensations radiating up from his dick, the sounds of Bailey’s throat working and her lips sucking on his length only added to the erotic energy coursing through the lab’s body. He wasn’t interested in holding back, in saving himself for a big finish, he, like his lover, was letting his tipsy body take control. All he wanted to do was fill up Bailey’s mouth with cum. And as the shepherd bobbed her head up and down on that thick canine dick, all she wanted was to feel the first hot rope shoot out of him. Dropping his hand off her face he freed her to move at her own pace and soon her somewhat shaggy wolf-cut hair bobbed like a headbanger’s at a concert.

“Keep going…a-almost there.” He groaned out from behind his teeth as the sound of muffled moans crept through the wall from Tucker’s room.

Bailey wasted no time, sliding her mouth down until it was only the yellow lab’s knot visible outside her snout. The shepherd gently gripped around the base of the tie, her grip simulating the feeling of being locked inside her vagina and sent a wave of pure pleasure crashing over Cooper’s body. She felt the boy’s knot swell in her grip to the size of a baseball while his length flexed against the roof of her mouth, the fleshy rod going hard as stone as Cooper’s ass lifted off the toilet seat. With a muffled growl the canine let loose, the first rope firing off down Bailey’s throat. Holding the cumming penis where it was her tongue was quickly coated as her throat worked to swallow the excess. She wasn’t sure what to expect for the flavor, it wasn’t totally repulsive but rather tolerable. Rather it was the knowledge of what it was that she was drinking that ignited the neurons in her brain and kept her mouth where it was as her lover came.

“Unnnf! Fuck yes…” Cooper strained the words out as his back arched from his body instinctively stuffing his twitching cock further into Bailey’s mouth.

Bailey maintained her grip on the lab’s tie, opening her eyes she peered up at him as his dick continued to pulse against her tongue. His breathing was heavy as the ropes of hot semen gradually tapered off into gentle spurts before ceasing all together.

“Wow…that was so good…” He said between deep breaths of air, the erotic sounds filtering in from the room next to the growing louder.

Bailey slid her mouth off the yellow lab’s spent cock, her tongue following the length the entire way until the pointed tip slid out of her lips and flopped against his empty balls. She made a show of the pool of semen in her mouth to a satisfied pup before swallowing the heavy load with a gulp. Cooper patted her on the head, a chill washing over him as he slumped exhausted on the toilet. Bailey beamed with pride as she observed her handiwork, all of the trepidation and nerves she had felt earlier were now translated into exuberant delight. Her tail wagged eagerly behind her as she savored what was left of the boy’s flavor on her tongue.

“Thanks for letting me try that for the first time, that was fun.” She said, laying her face across Cooper’s right thigh before her tongue licked wrapped under his shiny, saliva coated penis.

“Y-yeah…no problem…you uh, you wanna date?” Cooper asked with a nervous smile as he rubbed the back of his head.

“Date?” Bailey repeated the question, her ears perking up as she lifted her head off his thigh.

“Well yeah, why not?”

The shepherd cocked her head to one side as she considered things, she should have seen it coming but didn’t expect Cooper to be so blunt about it. But the more she thought about it the more it made sense, beyond being finger blasted on the couch and sucking his dick in the bathroom she did like this boy. He was cute, skilled with a weapon and not afraid to take risks. He may not be a tough blue collar man like she’d always envisioned herself going for, but something about him seemed to mesh with her personality.

‘They do say that opposites attract…’ She mused momentarily before delivering her answer.

“Yeah, fuck it, why not…Now get up, I have to pee again.”

“Use the sink.”

“Shut up!”

Cooper chuckled as he lifted himself up, his butt fur creased from the hard plastic. Being sure to point his ass away from Bailey he bent down and hoisted his pants back up, stuffing his still hanging cock into his underwear and she stripped out of hers and sat down.

“Uggh, it's warm.” The shepherd lamented as her rump made contact with the seat.

As the sound of splashing water rang out Cooper unlocked the door and slipped back out into the hallway. The feeling of his exposed member against the soft but constricting fabric of his underwear felt strange as he walked the short distance back to the sofa. The moment he plopped his weight down onto the soft cushion he heard the sound of the door knob turning. Shifting his gaze he watched as the door opened to reveal Brad returning from dropping the girls off.

“Oh shit, you’re still here.” The raccoon whispered out of surprise.

“Yeah, Bailey and I were a little too drunk to drive home, also Carmen is back with Jason.” Cooper replied in a hushed tone, the only other sounds being the flushing toilet as Bailey finished up and the muffled sounds of sex coming from Tucker’s room. The noise didn’t phase Brad in the least as he was no doubt used to hearing it by now.

“You uh…need a pillow and a blanket or something?” He asked as the bathroom door opened.

“Sure, if you have one.” Cooper replied, the lab hoping that Brad didn’t notice the one already folded on the sofa.

Bailey padded up behind him, her hands held in her hoodie pocket as she slumped her weight down on the sofa next to Cooper.

“I can scrounge up another pillow if one of you wants to volunteer to sleep on the floor.” Brad said, pointing back towards his room.

“Nah, we're good to share the couch.” Bailey replied as she wiggled out of her hoodie and revealed the plain black t-shirt with a single breast pocket underneath.

Brad looked incredulously at the new couple as the shepherd tossed her garment on the coffee table, the pair’s handguns concealed in the pocket.

“Sheesh, a lot happened while I was gone I guess huh?” He asked with a sarcastic smile.

“Something like that haha,” Cooper chuckled as he put his arm around Bailey. “So how did it go, dropping them off?”

“Fine, I dropped Melissa off at her place and then Serah gave me road head on the way back to her place, so all in all it was pretty good.” The raccoon joked in return.

“Nice, nice…wait, is Serah the fox or was that…” This time it was Bailey who piped up.

“No Melissa was the fox, Serah is an otter.”

“Oh right, sorry.” Bailey whispered.

“Well uh, let me get you that pillow and blanket then.” He said before slipping back down the hallway.

“Huh, well it looks like he did get some after all, good for him.” The shepherd stated with a chuckle as she kicked her shoes and slid her socks off.

“Mhmm.” Cooper hummed as he did the same.

“So, Ol’ Yeller, what's our first date gonna be, first proper date I mean.” Bailey asked as she undid her jeans and shuffled out of them.

“Hmmm, I’ll think of something good.” the lab replied with a sly smile as he again followed suit while the shepherd unhooked her bra and slid it out from underneath her shirt.

Bailey waited for Cooper to lay down on the sofa before settling herself down on top of him, her bushy tail working to cover up at least part of her butt as she let her weight down on her new boyfriend. For his part Cooper was rather surprised at how cheeky Bailey’s panties were, he’d felt them from the front but as he cupped her ass he felt a good bit of warm butt fur under his hand. While his right took a handful of tush, his left wrapped around the girl’s back, symbolically holding her in place atop him.

“You’re warm.” Cooper said softly in Bailey’s ear as she snuggled in close, her ample chest cushioning her body against her lover.

“Mmm, you’re comfy.” She whispered back.

Gentle footsteps echoed down the hallway as Brad approached with a pillow and soft looking fleece blanket. The raccoon tried not to gawk at the thick slab of shepherd ass that was visible to him as he handed the blanket to Cooper. The yellow lab tossed it over Bailey’s back and covered them up before stuffing the pillow under his head. Its soft cushion aided the comfort provided by the folded up blanket already beneath him as he settled in.

“Alright, G’night guys.” Brad whispered before padding back to his room as the muffled sound of Marie begging to be knotted could be heard emanating from Tucker’s room.

“Is she giving you ideas?” Cooper joked as he watched Bailey’s ear tune in to the sound.

“Hmph, you wish.”

“Yeah kinda.”

Bailey snorted in response to the lab’s joke, wiggling her body further onto his as she relaxed. Wrapping her arms under his chest she held the boy tight, the feeling of him pressed into her, his hand cupping her buttcheek while his other wrapped around her back made the shepherd for the first time in her life feel truly at peace, like the last puzzle piece had just been fit into place.

‘Is it too early to feel all this?’ She wondered, a cold flicker of doubt creeping into the warm glow radiating throughout her body.

‘I don’t know…maybe? But then again, some people say they know right away…’ the shepherd continued pondering as she felt Cooper’s breathing slow as the lab drifted off to sleep.

‘Who knows what the right answer is, but right now, this feels…nice.’

Bailey settled her head down, laying it the side so she could tuck her snout under Cooper’s chin like a feral she wolf protecting her mate.

‘I could get used to this…’ Was the last thought before she too drifted off to sleep.
