Chapter Twenty-Seven: Savage Love

It had been surprisingly difficult getting out of the hospital, although not in the way Dawn had anticipated. After spending nearly a week in a coma, the ewe had expected the hospital staff to be fairly resistant to the idea of letting her go home as soon as possible. She expected a slew tests now that she was awake and alert. Brain scans, x-rays, the whole nine yards including at the very least an extra week stuck at GrizzlyFalls for rest and recovery. In truth she had only been partially right. Her doctor indeed had her undergo several tests. An MRI, some blood work and a few simple mobility tests before declaring the lamb fit to return home under supervision. He stressed that Dawn do her best to avoid 'particularly strenuous activity', and set her up with a wheelchair to assist with walking around until the lamb could overcome the lingering weakness in her legs she had accrued from being off them for so long. All of this was directed at Vernon, who had taken the doctor's orders like that of commands issued from a superior officer. The wolf was firm in following the doctors instructions, and wouldn't even hear Dawn's objections about being wheeled around like an invalid. Then again the ewe hadn't made much of a case for herself when she tripped on her way to the bathroom after the warnings.

But all that was light, easy to handle, almost like a standard visit to the doctor's office. What had proven difficult was simply trying to exit the front doors of the GrizzlyFallsHospital the following day. The wolf had packed her things, placed her in her chair, and wheeled them to the hospital's main exit. Entering the lobby they could hear the rising din clamoring from outside the building. As they wheeled within view of the windows the ewe was blinded by the numerous flashes of cameras. She held up an arm to try to block the lighting as the wolf came to a stop at the entrance. Was this all for her? Vernon had clued her in on most of the details he had gathered from Nick and Judy about what had happened while she was under. She had gone from despised and hated by all to suddenly redeemed and revered in less than forty-eight hours. But still, staring at the throngs of reporters, photographers, interviewers and even fans amassed outside all seemed so unreal. It was dreamlike, as if the ewe had never awoken from her terrible endless purgatory.

"Teeth to tails." Dawn heard the wolf mutter under his breath.

The ewe glanced up at him. "What is it Puppy?"

"I didn't expect it to be this bad out there." Vernon chuckled. "Not sure how we're gonna push through all these fellas." The wolf gave a quick shrug.

"Well...I uh..." Dawn muttered. "I guess I could answer a few questions."

Dawn watched the wolf simply shake his head. " A few questions is fine, but the only way your gonna get that is a private interview back at home. These vultures are gonna mob us. We'll never make it to the subway station safely through that herd."

"You think they'd follow us that far?" The ewe asked.

"I count at least three mammals wearing _'Zootopian Query'_press gear, so I'm pretty certain they would."

Dawn grimaced at the thought, the 'Zootopian Query' was well known for being an unscrupulous publication with belligerent reporters. They would seek out a story at any cost, even if they had to make up the bulk of it. It was one of Zootopia's most scandalous tabloids, home to the most baseless conjecture, but the public ate it up.

"You wanna put the scare into 'em?" Dawn smirked at the wolf.

Vernon chuckled. "I can try, but I'm not sure how far it'll get us."

"Good, cause I can't stand to be in this hospital a moment longer." Dawn clutched her armrests in an effort to steel herself. "Onward my loyal Puppy!" She playfully demanded.

She glanced back up at the wolf, catching him in mid smirk. Vernon shook his head, letting out a loud exhale.

"Welp, here we go..." And with that, the lamb felt herself jerk forward as the chair began to move toward the revolving door.

Once outside in the shivering cold, the ewe again found herself blinded by flashing lights. Microphones began to jut out from every direction all pleading for her attention, demanding it. But they whirled past as the wolf tried to rush her through the brigade.

"DAWN BELLWETHER! "HOW DID YOU DEAL WITH THE REVELATION THAT YOUR FATHER WAS BEHIND THIS MASSIVE SCALE ATTACK PLAN ON THE CITY?!" " Came from a Giraffe ZNN representative.

"DAWN! WHAT DROVE YOU TO TAKE SUCH A DRASTIC MEASURES IN ORDER TO PREVENT THIS ATTACK?! GUILT!? A SENSE OF JUSTICE!?" The Zootopian Times representative's mic hit the poof of her hair as she zipped past.

"MISS BELLWETHER, WHAT IS THE NATURE OF YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH MR.HUNTER!? INQUIRING MAMMALS WANT TO KNOW!" Shouted the mammals with the Zootopian Query. "ARE YOU SECRET LOVERS!?" They had stopped the speeding duo in their tracks. The reporters had perfectly sealed the edge of the mob off preventing their escape. The three rams all jutted microphones at her.

"BACK OFF YOU SAVAGES!" Vernon snarled. Dawn's chair weaved in various directions, Vernon clearly trying to find a way to force an opening. "SHE'S IN NO CONDITION TO TAKE QUESTIONS RIGHT NOW!"

"MR. HUNTER!" The next volley came. " TELL US ABOUT YOUR HISTORY WITH MS.BELLWETHER!" The rams said in chorus, their cameras continued to flash at the ewe. All the lighting was starting to daze her.

"I DIDN'T SAY I WAS TAKIN' QUESTIONS EITHER!" The wolf huffed.

"MR. HUNTER, IS IT TRU-"

The sound of the rabble suddenly fell under the call of police sirens. One of the rams turned to see what the commotion was about only for a pair of fox paws to slide between him and one of the other rams. Aggressively the mob was parted by a very familiar mammal.

"ALRIGHT, ALRIGHT, BACK AWAY! " Nick yelled. "OFFICIAL POLICE BUISNESS!"

Dawn felt relief at the sight of the familiar fox. Nick un-holstered his baton, waiving it in the air at the crowd.

"CLEAR A PATH, OR ELSE I'LL HAVE THE LOT OF YOU BROUGHT IN FOR OBSTRUCTING EMERGENCY SERVICES!" The fox hissed as the crowd spread father back. When the fox seemed satisfied with distance, he waived the pair over to him. Vernon wasted no time getting her over to Nick, and was quick to get her in the back of Nick's police cruiser and away from prying eyes. In less than a minute the trio had packed into the vehicle and cleared the hospital, leaving a mass of disappointed reporters behind.

Nick as it turned out, had come specifically to ferry the pair back to Vernon's apartment. He and Judy had figured they had no way back other than public transportation, and the tod had taken time out of his normal shift to quote, "Keep them from being thrown to the wolves." The fox made sure to flash Vernon a smug grin at the end of that line, causing Vernon to groan and Dawn to stifle a giggle. The ewe was somewhat disappointed that Judy hadn't been along for the ride, as she was eager to talk to her. But Nick explained that the doe was busy trying to tie up all the lose ends to the newly dubbed 'Zootopia's Last Night' Case, something he'd be getting right back to after dropping the pair off. Apparently the ZPD was digging through Aster's effects in an effort to root out all the secret backers of the operation and bring them to justice. They had already pulled a horrifying amount of high profile names, and were still finding more with each passing day.

The crowd of reporters back at the Shutterbuck Estates was significantly smaller than the one swarming the GrizzlyFallsHospital, but it was no less an irritating sight to see. But at least now the pair had Nick with them to keep the rabble at a respectable distance as he lead them into the building.

Once they were safely back in the warm and familiar apartment, Vernon wheeled Dawn over to the living room sofa and allowed her to set herself up on it. The ewe was somewhat eager to get a better impression of exactly how the city had been handling everything she had missed. And so Dawn was set on camping out on the couch for a bit, using the television to catch up on the whole ordeal. Nick, his job completed, bid the two a goodbye. The fox expressing before leaving that 'He and Judy would be in touch soon.'

With Nick gone, the wolf continued to putter around the kitchen as Dawn got comfortable on the sofa. Vernon was dead set on making Dawn as relaxed as possible, and as the ewe watched from over the sofa armrest she could see the wolf gathering way more supplies than she could possibly need. The lamb chuckled quietly, she wanted to say something but she knew the wolf wouldn't listen. Instead she turned her attention to the television, flipping it on with a press of the remote. In an instant it came to life, already set to the Zootopian News Network.

On the screen were the familiar pair of Moosebridge and Growley, the faces of the ZNN. Dawn had caught the snow leopard in the middle of her report.

"-names of several high profile mammals, most notably presumptive Mayoral candidate and famed prosecutor Gloria Swinton. A prominent member of the Preygressive Party, Swinton had been set to run against Snow in the upcoming Mayoral election this November. However, with the information that has come forward about her involvement in the _'Zootpia's Last Night'_fiasco, the Prosecutor's presumptive political career has evaporated overnight. Swinton is currently out on bail, and is set to stand trial among the other forty some odd suspected backers of Aster Bellwether's terrorist plot early next month." The leopard concluded, adjusting the collar of her jacket slightly.

"Swinton?" Dawn was surprised. She had met the hog a few times during her time as Assistant Mayor. During their brief encounters she had with the pig, she had seemed to be quite the pleasant mammal. As far as Dawn could tell, she didn't seem to have a mean bone in her body.

Dawn shook her head at the last thought, letting out a sarcastic chuckle. No one probably thought Dawn had a mean bone in her body either until the night howler scandal, the irony of the situation eliciting another chuckle.

Dawn turned her attention back to Vernon who was still rooting around in the cabinets for who knows what. She peeked over the arm rest, leaning her head on her arms as she watched him digging through the various foods in the higher storage spaces.

The wolf was stretching, trying to get something from the highest shelf and muttering complaints to himself. Dawn watched his tail sway, occasionally flashing the perfect view of his rump which the ewe had become somewhat fixated on. She mused at the idea of strutting over to the wolf and giving his behind a firm grasp, but threw the idea aside due to the risk of falling on her way. Still the idea of it caused her to bite her lip in impish pleasure.

"-Doug Ramses..." The name drew Dawn's attention away from her lurid fantasies and back to the news report. Moosebridge was speaking now, apparently on another facet of the case. "the only survivor aside from Dawn Bellwether at the Woolery Wine Bottling Plant explosion was ferried back to Outback Island Prison today under high security." The moose stated. " The sheep is set to go to trial for his most recent crime in a case separate from the night howler conspirators and backers. While no concrete word has been levied about the how much jail time will be added to his sentence, many officials are talking life imprisonment with no possibility of parole."

"Good." Dawn mumbled.

"Good what?" Vernon said, falling on to the couch next to the lamb. The ewe flinched in surprise at the sudden jostle the wolf's weight had made on the couch. He was holding several items, a blanket, a bag of grazer chips, and a jar of salsa.

"O-Oh." She stuttered. "Doug's looking at life in prison."

Vernon placed the chips and salsa on the coffee table. Giving the blanket a shake, he shimmed his way behind the ewe before coating them both in the soft green throw. Vernon wrapped an arm around the ewe from behind, resting his head on hers as he snuggled up to her. Dawn could feel her heart start to beat rapidly as the feel of the wolf's embrace caused her to shudder.

"Good." Vernon muttered, letting out a comfortable sigh.

"I'm sorry about the crap food." He whined. "It's the best I can do until I can get out to get groceries. We were running low before that whole..." The wolf paused, seemingly hesitating. "mess."

Dawn buried herself deeper into Vernon's embrace, a feeling of heat beginning to rise within her. She brought a hoof up to the wolf's face, gently caressing the side in a reassuring way.

"Oh it's fine. I'm not too hungry anyway." Dawn replied, trying to keep her eyes fixated on the news.

"Finally in the news tonight, Dawn Bellwether has been discharged from the GrizzlyFallsHospital. While the ewe has yet to be interviewed on her thoughts on everything that transpired involving the _'Zootopia's Last Night'_case, the footage out cameras recovered show her being escorted from the hospital by one Vernon Hunter and Detective Nick Wilde." Growley stated.

"Heh, they work fast don't they?" Vernon chuckled. The low rumble of his words vibrated against the ewe's head, causing her to quiver.

"H-heh, yeah." Dawn replied. The lamb was growing hungry, but not for food. She had yet to discuss what she had heard Vernon say at the hospital. She was sure he wasn't even aware he had been heard, and the feeling of the wolf being so close was bringing the need to tell him to the forefront.

"While we have yet to speak to her directly, I think I can speak for our staff when I say thank you Dawn Bellwether." Growley gave a soft smile. " Your bravery, despite the attitude the city had against you, saved us all. And at the very least myself, and my family are forever grateful for what you've done." Growley cleared her throat, it was clear she was getting choked up.

"I don't think anyone here would disagree Fabienne." Moosebridge stepped in. "That's why from all of us here at ZNN, we wish you a speedy recovery. Thank you Dawn Bellwether." The moose straightened his tie.

"Oh m-my." Dawn placed her hooves over her mouth.

She could feel Vernon tighten his grip on the ewe, squeezing into a hug. "See that Floofs? You're a hero."

Dawn simply chuckled. "I-I'm no hero Puppy."

She could feel the wolf squeeze her again, and a chill ran down her spine.

"No you are." She felt the wolf's paw gently lift her chin until she was looking right in Vernon's eyes. "You showed everyone that you were the mammal I knew you were." Vernon's eyes shone. "Bask in that pride Dawn, accept all them accolades and rewards you deserve."

Dawn pulled her head away as she felt the blush rise in her cheeks. She shook her head, letting out a laugh. "Well I didn't do it alone Puppy." She reached out to the coffee table, taking a chip from the open bag and popping it in her mouth. "What about your rewards?" She asked, chewing the crisp after finishing her question.

"Welp." The wolf sighed as he took a chip himself, dipping it in the salsa. "The Mayor offered me an internship in the city's architecture department, you know government stuff."

"What!?" Dawn sputtered, clapping her hoofs together.

"Yeah, Her office contacted me at the hospital after Wilde and Hopps were on TV. Apparently Snow said it was the least she could do for one of the mammal's the city owed it's life to." Vernon crunched the chip, his expression remaining nonchalant. "Well that and writing off the little misdemeanors I accrued during our little adventure."

Dawn was awestruck. The extremely excited ewe grabbed the wolf by his shirt and shook him vigorously.

"WHAT DID YOU SAY!?" She was practically ecstatic at the wolf's windfall.

"I turned it down of course." The wolf popped another chip in his mouth.

Dawn felt the wind get knocked out of her. She couldn't have heard him right. Her shocked expression now shifting to that of abject horror.

"V-Vernon?" She sputtered. "Y-you didn't really?"

"Don't seem fair to me to jump up the ladder like that, even if it is entry level." The wolf shook his head. "Ain't never been big on nepotism."

Dawn stared at him, her mouth agape as words seemed to fail her. Vernon had turned down a golden opportunity for what she felt was ridiculous reasons. The wolf was already going to have a tough time making headway in a field mostly levied toward beavers and moles and so on, and here was this chance to get in and show what he was capable of and the wolf had utterly snubbed it.

"PUPPY! YOU DUMMY!" She slapped him playfully. "HOW COULD YOU PASS UP SOMETHING LIKE THAT UP!" Vernon seemed to wince under her shout, placing his paws up to defend himself.

Dawn could feel tears coming on as she grabbed Vernon by his shirt again. "You say I deserve a reward, and you won't take one for yourself!?" She sputtered in disbelief.

Vernon shook his head. "Actually I was forced to take it, Mayor Snow refused to hear of it otherwise." Vernon chuckled.

Dawn let out a sigh of relief, her clasp loosening on the wolf's shirt as she did.

"But I didn't care because I got the one reward out of this whole thing I really wanted." Vernon coughed, turning away from the ewe.

Dawn shuddered, she could see the hint of a blush building below the wolf's muzzle fur as he averted his gaze. Her heart began to pound intensely as she fully interpreted his meaning. She thought back to her time in the coma, the pit, the wolf's words. The question she had been wanting to ask finally worked it's way out of her stammering mouth.

"V-vernon..." She stammered, her own blush beginning to show. "D-did you mean what you said...in the h-hospital I mean?"

The wolf turned back to face her quickly, his face twisted in a mix of surprise and terror. Vernon ran a seemingly shaky paw through the fur on his scalp. The wolf opened his mouth to speak, but instead of words he emitted a weak squeak. He quickly coughed into his other paw before trying to continue. The blush under his fur was as clear as day now.

"W-what did I s-say?" The wolf stammered.

Dawn gulped hard, the grip on the wolf's shirt growing tighter as she steeled herself to get the wolf to confess to her again now that she could properly respond.

"T-that you loved me." Dawn smiled back at Vernon, her eyes beginning to brim with tears.

The wolf clutched at his throat uneasily, looking away from the ewe in what seemed to be embarrassment.

"Y-you...uh..." He coughed. "You heard that?"

The ewe gave a soft nod in response, which only seemed to distress the wolf further.

"D-Dawn, listen I di-"

Dawn didn't give the wolf a chance to finish, instead placing a hoof to his lips.

"Shhh." Dawn whispered as the wolf turned back to face her. Her eyes welling with tears. Dawn slowly moved her hoof over to the side of his muzzle, her other hoof rising to brace it on the other side. Dawn smiled broadly through the tears.

"Please, I want to hear it..." She trailed off.

Vernon's ears sagged as he looked back into her, a smile slowly working across his muzzle.

"I love you Dawn." Vernon whimpered. "I always have." The wolf closed his eyes hard as tears began to leak out of them. "You're the love of my life."

Dawn felt a surge of emotions run through her. She was alive, alive to hear Vernon say those words to her. Love, elation, desire, terror all flooded her senses before being drowned out by an increasingly familiar primal urge. The kind of thing she suppressed deep in her mind for so long bubbling back up to the surface. Her intuition, desires, all laid bare as they were now free. It pushed aside all thoughts save one.

'Take what you want.'

" Dawn I-"

Dawn was on the wolf in an instant, her muzzle pressed against the shocked wolf's own in less time than it took to blink. She couldn't see Vernon with her eyes shut as tightly as they were, but she could feel the wolf's surprise and apprehension quickly relent under her force, and soon meeting her in equal vigor. It felt like someone had replace the lamb's blood with pure electricity as she continued kissing the wolf. But before she passed the point of no return, the ewe knew she still had something important to say. She had wanted to say it for so long, and damn it she was going to. Reluctantly she broke the kiss, pulling slightly back from the wolf. His eyes were half lidded in clear bliss, but there was a hint of confusion on his face.

"I love you too Vernon." Dawn's tears were streaming steadily now.

With her feelings made clear in no uncertain turns, Dawn was back on the wolf in a heartbeat. Her muzzle meeting his in a less forceful and more tender kiss. She could feel the wolf slowly wrap his arms around her as he returned the sentiment, his lips softly playing against her own. The little ewe reached up, wrapping her arms around his neck as she drew him deeper. The embers that had been glowing within her very being were starting to catch fire as the lamb found each small break between kisses growing farther and farther apart. She felt her urges pressing her on, slowly but surely increasing the force behind her kissing. Rather quickly the internal debate began inside the ewe's mind. Should she be the first to open her mouth, to invite the wolf in? Or was it more prudent to let him lead. However, Vernon surprised her by suddenly pushing her away. She stared at the gasping wolf in utter confusion.

"W-wait, wait...!" Vernon gasped.

"W-what!?" Dawn felt agony inside, this sudden denial was unbearable.

"I j-just." Vernon held his chest. "A-are we m-moving to fast?" The wolf wiped his brow. "I-I mean we haven't even b-been on a date yet, right?"

The ewe hadn't considered this. It was true they had yet to actually go out and do the normal things that couples do. Perhaps the ewe was too quick to let her lurid urges take control of the situation.

"T-that" She stuttered. "T-that's true I guess." She let out a sigh.

"T-that's the normal and res-spectful way to go about th-his." Dawn could see the wolf visibly shaking, clearly he was having just as much of a hard time holding back.

Dawn nodded briskly, in firm agreement with Vernon.

"Okay, we'll do this right. We'll wait till a few dates in, and s-see how it goes." She shuddered.

"W-we can still be cuddled up t-though, right?" Vernon whimpered. his eyes had a look of pleading to them.

Dawn smiled. "Of course Puppy, as long as I can get one more kiss."

The wolf leaned in, allowing Dawn to place another slow tender kiss on his muzzle. The second she touched his lips the doused fires inside flared back up in roaring spectacularity. Dawn's mind was going crazy, screaming at her to pull the wolf on top of her, to let him ravage her. She was rapidly losing herself to the drunken warmth of animal pleasure.

Clearly the kiss was a bad idea.

Dawn drastically pulled away from Vernon, clasping her hooves to her lips. She stared back at the equally scared looking wolf with wide eyes.

"Y-you know..." She stuttered. "W-we have been l-living together for l-like three months." The ewe rolled her eyes, feigning some semblance of innocence. "I-in a way it's like we've been on cl-close to ninety d-dates." A chill traveled down her spine as she internally prayed the wolf would go for her gambit.

Vernon bit his lip, his eyes darting around nervously.

"That's s-sound enough reasoning to me." Vernon grinned nervously.

Dawn pulled the wolf into another hard kiss, her tongue working it's way into his muzzle as far as it could. She hadn't been sure what to expect of Vernon's own tongue kissing prowess, but she was certain the larger muzzle housed a much longer and more dexterous mechanism than her own. Vernon's tongue traded the sudden lashing with a much more dainty and gentle entrance. It was unusual, not quite what she had imagined in her fantasies but exceedingly pleasant. It's strange texture sent shivers down her spine as it danced around her own tongue. She could feel Vernon's tender slurps and suckles with each of his soft breaths, and she matched them with her own emitting pleasant sighs with each new twist and turn.

Dawn began to dig her hooves into the wolf's back as she felt her pleasure starting to build. It was so good, so soon, it was almost scary. She continued pawing at his back, doing all she could to force the wolf deeper into her mouth. She wanted more, more of the titillating ministrations his tongue had to offer. She could feel the wolf's paws working their way up the back of her shirt, running his pads up and down her back with each firmer and more aggressive kiss.

Suddenly Dawn felt compelled to force Vernon out of her mouth. The ewe pushed the wolf away, letting out a gasp as the wolf drew back. Dawn was slightly dazed, and it took her a moment to notice the wolf's concerned face.

"D-Dawn did I do-?"

She placed a hoof up to his muzzle. She wanted this, she knew that much. But she wasn't about to let this continue with all the ambience and majesty a living room couch could offer.

"B-bedroom." She panted. "Now." She ran her hoof through the bit of chest fur sticking out of his shirt, biting her lip in anticipation.

The wolf nodded briskly, clambering clumsily to his feet. Before the wolf could finish reaching out to scoop the ewe up, Dawn flung herself into his arms. Wrapping her legs around his waist she was quick to work her tongue back into the wolf's maw. She felt Vernon nearly lose his balance before rebounding and beginning his encumbered stagger toward his bedroom. Dawn released her firm grip on the wolf's back only to begin the desperate struggle against her own shirt. She tore at the plain purple dress shirt frantically, unable to get it off fast enough. She pulled her lips away from Vernon only temporarily to better lift the offending garment off only for the wolf to bury his muzzle into the crook of her neck. The wolf nipped and purred, shifting the ewe's attention away from her blouse immediately.

"AHH!" She yelped. "Puppy!" She could feel her eyes roll under the waves of pleasure emanating from his playful nuzzling.

She suddenly felt her center of gravity shift. She was falling, they were falling. She didn't care, clutching the back of the wolf's head as he continued to nibble at her neck. She felt the wolf's familiar plush comforter hit her back as she came to a sudden stop. Somehow they had successfully made it to his bed and she hadn't even really noticed. Vernon drew back slightly, his form silhouetted by the hall lighting they had left behind for the intimate darkness of his den.

Dawn was gasping for air, her body feeling as though it were vibrating in the wake of their heavy make out session.

Now that she lay sprawled on the wolf's bed, it was all becoming very real for her. Her fantasy was rapidly becoming reality, and now with most of her repressed desire pressed out in a forceful dance of tongues it had given way to the softer neediness she had felt in her dreams. She could really only make out Vernon's eyes under the hard back lighting, they were filled with adoration and a hint of hunger. She could see him shaking with each breath.

"Dawn..." He whispered sweetly.

Dawn gulped. "Y-yes..." She stuttered.

"I need you." The wolf growled.

Dawn sat up, reaching a hoof up to caress the wolf's face. Keeping her eyes steadily focused on his she slowly removed her shirt. Tossing it aside her eyes remained fixed on Vernon.

"Then take me." She bit her lip.

The wolf, never breaking his stare gently lay the ewe back down. Planting a gentle kiss on her lips, then the wolf moved back down to her neck. He began another string of gentle kisses, working his way to her collarbone. As he playfully nibbled Dawn wrapped her hooves around his waist, starting to tug gently at the hem of his green tee-shirt.

She really couldn't make much progress with it. Vernon was far too tall to make it easy for her, and on top of it his performance was increasingly distracting. Slowly the wolf drew away from her again.

"Need some help?" He chuckled, pulling his shirt up and away.

"No." Dawn chuckled. "I j-just need you to stop hitting all the right buttons." As Vernon flicked his shirt away into the darkness of the bedroom, Dawn ran her hoof through the hearty tuft of fur on Vernon's chest.

"Don't think I can help that..." The wolf's eyes closed as her hoof worked through his fur. "But I'll do my best to...mhh...draw it out." He grinned.

The wolf buried his muzzle perfectly into the vee between her collarbone, letting off a flurry of tender kisses.

"OooOOhh..." She murmured, her eyelids drooping. She pressed the wolf deeper into her neckline, clasping at his back with her hooves.

The wolf drew out a painfully long series of kisses and bites, working his way lower and lower down the center of her chest. It was agonizing. Dawn was already burning white hot and the wolf was stoking that fire with perfect precision.

He was keeping it perfectly steady, despite Dawn's desire to let it engulf her.

Then suddenly, she felt the wolf's teeth at the banding of thread connecting the cups of her jade green bra. Just feeling his hot and ragged breath there was as if he had suddenly thrown another log on her flames, and it caused her to shudder.

"P-please..." She stammered softly. Her voice quavered. She was praying it would play out just as she had fantasized.

Vernon chuckled. "Would you miss this bra if I trashed it?" He looked up at the trembling ewe, his muzzle still pressed against her chest.

"RUT IT!" She snarled, licking her lips.

The wolf simply smirked. She felt his teeth get between the band and her chest, her heart jumping at the sensation. The ancestral prey in her filling her with terror at being so close to what would be death to them, but the modern ewe in her turned on like a light. With a yank the wolf tore the top of the bra clear away, tossing it into the dark and exposing her bare chest to the open air. She shuddered with each breath as the wolf leaned back to appraise the newly revealed treasures. Dawn felt a small pang of nervousness as the wolf eyed her small mounds.

"T-to small?" She stuttered.

"Hell no." Vernon shook his head briskly. The wolf's eyes were gleaming. "T-they're perfect Dawn."

Dawn felt awash with joy and relief, and she barely had time to bask in it before the wolf had scooped her back into his arms, resting his head on her chest. She was still against the mattress, but could feel herself moving.

"Vernon?"

"Just movin' us darlin'." Vernon cooed. "I need a bit more room."

Dawn aided the wolf, scooching along as the wolf pulled himself the rest of the way onto the bed. Once the wolf seemed satisfied, he drew slightly back from the ewe's chest, a glint of hunger in his eyes.

"Lesse'" He murmured. "Eenie, meenie, miney..."

Before the ewe could speak, the wolf dove back down and began leaving a gentle tail of kisses along her right breast. Dawn shuddered with each gentle peck, squeezing the fur on his back in time with the sensations.

"V-Vernon." She panted. Part of her loved the wolf's attention to the importance of foreplay, it was much more than any of her previous lovers had given her. Yet another part of her was tired of the teasing.

V-EEeeeeee!" She chirped, cut off by the sudden jolt of ecstasy she felt as the wolf grasp her other breast. He massaged it gently, intermittently giving it a firm squeeze as his muzzle continued to work it's way toward the center of her other breast. She could hear him chuckle in his throat as he continued, it's deep vibration shimmering through her skin.

He was nearly inches away from her nipple now, and the ewe was biting her lip so hard she was almost certain she would draw blood. Her arms, clasped against his back were involuntarily pulling his head toward it, in an effort to end the lovely agony. But the wolf continued to resist.

"Somebody's aggressive today..." She heard the wolf chuckle between kisses and nips.

Dawn clutched his fur tightly. "Y-you're mean Puppy!" She whimpered. "You know I w-want this, I n-need you."

"And demanding too." The wolf chuckled, prolonging another kiss mere centimeters away from the light pink bud. "I guess I should expect that from an ex-politician."

"VERN-AHH!" She couldn't finish the witty retort as her nipple passed between the wolf's lips. She felt the gently pressure of him suckling, followed by the twirl of his dexterous tongue. It thrashed and swiveled with ease, firing jolts of ecstasy straight to her nethers. Alternatively, his paw had stopped squeezing her other breast. Instead he had extended a single claw, and was diligently and lightly swirling it around the other areola.

"R-RUT!" Dawn bleated. Her back arched in a desperate bid to further force her breast into the wolf's maw. Vernon in turn, wrapped his paws back around her, placing one behind her neck and the other at the base of her spine. Coming back up for air, the wolf planted a long and heavy kiss on Dawn's lips. Once again their tongues danced inside each other's mouths.

"VE-vernon!" Dawn stuttered between kisses.

"Mhh?" The wolf moaned.

"T-this isn't f-fair." She pushed his muzzle aside gently. "I-I should be pleasing you too!" She said softly.

Vernon looked at her, his eyes filled with adoration. "T-trust me." He sighed. "Y-your pleasure is pleasing me Floofs."

Dawn shook her head, and with all of her might she pushed the wolf back. Much to her surprise the wolf seemed to give, falling backward hard against the mattress. Using the opportunity to her advantage she clambered on top of the now prone and slightly confused wolf. She sat on top of his thighs, looking down at the sizeable bulge in his black jeans.

"Dawn what are y-AHH!"

The ewe had cut him off by walking her fingers up the side of the painful looking swelling." I-is this for me?" She cooed playfully.

"D-don't..."Vernon whimpered.

"You shouldn't have." She gave a coy grin as she grasped the zipper of his pants. Letting out a nervous sigh she began to unzip the wolf's jeans. This was it, uncharted territory. Sure she had seen many types of different mammal genitalia in health class growing up, but actually being faced with the real phallus of another species was a situation she had never expected herself to be in, much less actively seeking out.

With the zipper at the bottom of the tread, the ewe was slightly disappointed to find the bulge still contained under grey boxer-briefs. The disappointment turned to frustration, which the lamb used to assault the belt and buttons on the wolf's waist. That familiar earthy scent she had learned to love was growing stronger, and it sent tingles down her spine with each errant whiff she caught. She leaned down against the throbbing mass, gently grinding her exposed chest against it as she eyed the wolf seductively.

"I want this off Vernon, that's an order from the desk of the Ex-Assistant Mayor." She stabbed a finger down at the pants.

The wolf arched his back, his paws haphazardly tugging the jeans away. The ewe did the best she could to assist, coaxing the denim prison below his knees. Now far enough down, The wolf wildly kicked them off as the ewe placed herself right back on his thighs.

Dawn gently rubbed her hoof across the bulge, continuing to eye Vernon. Despite her cool demeanor she was somewhat nervous about the monster that was hiding beneath the thin fabric. Being a sheep, and an undersized one at that, Dawn was mostly worried about being able to handle something significantly large.

"D-Dawn..." The wolf wasn't looking at her. Vernon seemed to be staring at the ceiling, his paw over his face. "R-rut..R-rut." He whimpered.

'Well, it's now or never' She thought to herself.

Grasping the elastic band, Dawn pulled the briefs down and away. The mass that had been hiding sprung out like a jack in the box, startling the ewe at the sudden movement.

Vernon's size easily tripled that of the most well endowed of her very small pool of lovers past. It stood straight up, pulsing and trembling along with Vernon's staggering breath. It was so alien to the ewe, red and shiny like a hot pepper with a peculiar bulb at the bottom where it met the wolf's fur. But she surmised a rams penis must be just as peculiar to any other mammal. Still the look and size left the ewe's mouth agape. Suddenly she was feeling nervous, could she really handle something like this?

"D-dawn...?" The wolf's utterance snapped her back from her stupor. She could see the wolf peeking an eye back at her. "Y-you don't have to..."

Dawn flashed the wolf a smirk. 'No turning back now.' She thought, before gently licking up the side of his wolfhood. She could feel Vernon tremble under her sudden action. She eyed Vernon seductively before making another ginger pass with her tongue, sliding all the way up to the tip from the base. Now open to the air, there was nothing to keep the ewe from taking in his full, unbridled musk. It was thick and intoxicating. The sent of wet earth made her head swim in pleasure. Yet somehow she managed to hold herself together enough to keep up her work.

"G-GodsSSsss...." The wolf hissed, covering his eyes with his paw again.

Dawn chuckled, gently wrapping a hoof around the strange bulb at the root of Vernon's organ and squeezing gently. It surface was already somewhat slick, allowing the ewe to easily begin to stroke up and down his shaft. She gave a few more playful and random licks as she continued to eye the wolf's reactions. He was squirming, clutching the mattresses as though he were holding on for dear life. Still the wolf wasn't looking down at her, instead looking as far away as he could.

"D-DaaaAAwwwN..."He moaned, bringing a wicked smile to the ewe's lips.

Dawn eyed his length with apprehension as she continued to work it with her hoof. It was time to up the stakes, but Dawn felt dubious about just how much of Vernon she could handle. With her small muzzle and even smaller size it felt like a real case of one's eyes being bigger than their stomach. But the fire burning inside her fed an adventurous spirit, one that pleaded to continue recklessly into the unknown.

With a long drawn out lick Dawn traveled from the base of his shaft to it's apex, before sliding the tip into her mouth. Gently she swirled her tongue around it, giving a slight bob with each pass.

"SH-SHiii..." She could hear Vernon groan. "D-Dawn Pl-please"

She tried to take a bit more with each bob, taking little steps toward her goal of working the wolf up to as far as she could go. She wanted to drive him just as wild as he had drove her. She gave a hard suckle, feeling Vernon's hips buck in time with it.

"R-RU-RU.." The wolf sounded like he could barely breath as Dawn finally reached her limit. She wagered based on what she could see that she had managed to get half the way down before feeling the urge to gag. Satisfied, she increased the speed of her bobbing.

The ewe drew all the way back to the tip and back down, her hoof still massaging the wolf's swollen knot. She eyed Vernon with each playful flick of her tongue, watching the wolf squirm under her control.

"DA-Damn DAWwwwnNN!" The wolf hissed, slamming his paws against the sheet as he bucked his hips in time to another one of Dawn's hungry slurps. The corners of her muzzle twisted into a mischievous grin in response.

'Feels good to be appreciated.' She thought to herself.

Suddenly the wolf sat up and placed his paws on Dawn's shoulders. Before she could fully register what was happening the wolf had pushed her off of him and onto her back. Vernon now loomed over her, his face frenzied and soaked with sweat. Dawn stared up at the wolf in shock as he panted down at her.

"I-I..." The wolf shook his head wildly, sweat beads glimmering as they flicked away. "I ca-an't let you m-make me pop just yet Darlin'." He wheezed.

Before the lamb could object, the wolf had slid down to her waist. She felt his paws clutch the banding of her black skirt. He quickly pulled it away, nearly in one aggressive pull. A passing odd thought wafted through the ewe's mind as the skirt came away, one of worry at the fact she hadn't matched her bra to her panties. Part of her was worried he'd notice.

"Sheep huh?" She heard the wolf chuckle. "That's cute." Clearly he had noticed the blue, cartoon sheep patterned panties.

Dawn let out a slight giggle. "I-I didn't have time to prepare."

"Pft..." The wolf snickered. "You think mis-matched wrapping paper is going to ruin the present?"

Dawn simply blushed, smiling but embarrassed.

"But I will extra gentle with these." The wolf said.

She could feel Vernon's fingers slide under the sides of her panties, and begin to gently pull them down. As she felt the pair slide away from her most sensitive spot she could see the glimmer in Vernon's eyes. The wolf seemed to whiff the air, his lids closing as he did.

"G-gods that smell..." she heard the wolf mutter.

"Bad?" She asked nervously, worried her own scent would be off putting somehow.

"N-No..." The wolf stared back at her with wide and hungry eyes. "N-not at all..."

Her panties were fully off now, leaving the completely bare ewe at the mercy of the hungry predator.

"Y-you're soaked Darlin'" Vernon was staring at her quivering mound.

Dawn bit her lip, eyeing Vernon pleadingly.

"T-take me. Take me now." She purred.

Vernon chuckled, lowering his muzzle between the ewe's legs and out of her line of sight. "We'll get there..." He cooed. "I swear it."

A chill went down Dawn's spine at the wolf's remark. Either she had the wolf's mannerisms pegged perfectly or this was yet another dream. She was about to give herself a quick pinch on the arm, but was interrupted by Vernon's eager kisses on her inner thighs.

"OOOhhh...." She bleated huskily, "This IS real..." She chuckled.

"Hmm?" She saw Vernon's head raise slightly from her nethers. In response she gently placed a hoof on his head, pressing him back down slowly.

"N-nothing..." She bit her lip. "K-keep going."

Again the wolf was nipping and nibbling his way around her most sensitive areas. With each percussive peck and bite she found herself trembling even more. The fire inside had reached an unbearable sultry heat, and the wolf was pushing her mere inches away from being all consumed.

"VERNON!" She moaned. "P-Please d-don't teASE!" The ewe stuttered. Her hoof had never left the wolf's scalp, although now it was desperately trying to aim him toward her entrance.

Vernon raised his head, a wry smile on his muzzle. "I'm getting mixed messages here Floofs." He grinned. "Keep going or stop teasing?"

"MEAN WOLF!" The ewe hissed.

"Beautiful Sheep." The wolf's grin made her blush even more fiercely.

"I f-feel like I should make a w-wolf eating sheep joke here." The wolf slightly stuttered as he seemingly eyed her glistening ewehood.

Dawn was too rapt in anticipation to even giggle, her chest heaving as she eyed the wolf.

In the next second Dawn's mind went completely blank. It was as if a white hot light filled her vision, and her veins felt like they were filled with lava. Her back arched as she felt the tell tale muscle spasms that preceded a spectacular release. She could barely get the words out as the explosion of bliss overtook her.

"V-VERNON I-I-I-" It dissolved into a loud throaty bleat as she bucked against the wolf's muzzle. He had barely even gotten his tongue into her, but all that revving up had pushed her to the brink. She bucked a few more times, the bleat dying away as the clenching started to ease. Dawn gasped hard, staring off at the ceiling as the aftershocks continued to wrack her tiny body.

"Geeze..." She heard the wolf lapping his maw. "Didn't think I teased ya that bad."

"V-vernon I'm so s-sorry." The ewe tried to sit up, but failed. The sensation still to overwhelming. "I-It's just b-been so l-long s-since...and y-you..." Another trembling bleat escaped her throat. "No o-one's ever-r..."

"Easy Darlin'" The wolf cooed, sidling up next to the ewe. He caressed the side of her face with his paw. "That's k-kinda the whole point of this thing isn't it?" He gave a small smirk. Dawn continued to heave, glancing up at the wolf.

"OooohHH.." Dawn moaned, another tremor traveling through her. "I-it was soOOoo good V-Vernon." She bit her lip as she eyed him.

"You were pretty good too." The wolf lapped his muzzle again, smacking his lips in response to her taste. "No wonder wolves used to eat sheep, you ARE delicious."

Dawn let out a shuddering giggle.

"Still, I-I'd like to get a better chance at showin' you what my tongue can do." The wolf shook his head.

Dawn finally managed to sit up. She caressed the wolf's muzzle gently.

"Well we have the n-night Puppy." She cooed. "I c-can't let you settle for the appetizer w-when there is still the main course in front of us."

She saw the wolf's eyes widen, and she could hear his tail thumping against the sheet like a drum. Still he looked hesitant.

"D-dawn I..." Vernon glanced down at his groin. "I d-don't know if we s-s"

Dawn kissed Vernon softly, caressing his face as she did. They held the kiss for a while before the ewe broke it and drew back. She continued to rub a thumb across Vernon's cheek as she stared into his eyes.

"It will be okay Vernon." She cooed.

The wolf's ears drooped, and he stared back with sad eyes. "But what if I hurt you?"

"You won't hurt me." She smiled.

"But I-I"

"I trust you Vernon." Dawn gave him a solemn glance. "I want to be your mate."

She could hear Vernon audibly gulp, but he placed a paw against her face which she rubbed into affectionately. "And I want to be yours."

Vernon gently leaned the ewe back against the bed, before positioning himself near her waist. The wolf loomed over her like a dark shadow, the hall light again creating a silhouette now that he was kneeling. Dawn reached out to grab one of his paws, and Vernon in turn clasped it, intertwining his fingers with her own. Her heart had rapidly returned to it's high speed tempo as she anticipated what was coming.

"I- I won't go all the w-way in." Vernon coughed. "T-the knot might hurt you." He looked away, seemingly ashamed. "I mean it doesn't get s-stuck or anything like anc-cient wolves, but I m-mean you're so small a-and-"

"Vernon." Dawn interrupted, keeping her tone reassuring. "I can take it. Just do what comes natural." Dawn gave a weak chuckle at the irony of the last words she said.

Vernon slow leaned back over the ewe, his head ending up at least a foot and a half away from the ewe's own eye-line as the wolf began to line himself up. Dawn wrapped her hooves up and around him, doing her best to keep the now seemingly skittish wolf from fleeing her grasp.

Suddenly she felt the first gentle prod against her sensitive mound, sending her into another shudder. Her entrance was still in overdrive from all the previous excitement, and the embers were quick to stoke back up. Another prod, and another, like lighting strikes through her body, yet still shy of where she now desperately wanted it. The ewe reached her hoof down, grasping the tip of Vernon's staff gently.

"AHH!" She could see the wolf shudder in the light.

"Let me help you big fella." She grinned softly.

Dawn aligned the wolf directly with her own yearning folds, and slowly eased him into her. As the very tip entered her, another series of bleats trilled out of her involuntarily. The heat coming off Vernon was even hotter than her own.

"O-Ohh Puppy..." She cooed, reaching up to pat his muzzle. "I b-bet that hurts huh?"

The wolf seemingly tried to chuckle, but it died in his throat as she managed to slide him in a little deeper.

"Mhhh..." Dawn licked her lips. It was thicker than a rams too, just barely in and yet it fit her so snugly. The ewe released her grip, wrapping her hooves around the wolf again.

"O-okay Puppy." She cooed. "I-I think you're r-ready to move."

Vernon coughed, from what Dawn could see from her angle the wolf nodded briskly. Slowly she felt the wolf slide slightly deeper into her, sending small jolts through her with each inch it climbed. Stopping what she assumed was well short of his full girth, she felt him slowly withdraw.

"OOooooOOOhhh" They nearly said in unison. Her flames were catching again already, coupled with the wolf's own heat now easing it's way back in. Slowly but surely the wolf seemed to gain confidence, his strides growing easier and smoother with each passing moment. Dawn was starting to let out soft bleats with each steady pump, and a shudder with each draw. As the familiar heat inside her began to burn hotter, she dug her hooves into his back, clutching his fur tighter with each gyration.

"Mmhh...Vernon." She sighed. "Y-you can go deeper."

"D-deeper?" The wolf said, his voice trembling.

"D-deeper." She moaned.

She felt the wolf hesitate for a moment before feeling his phallus slide a bit deeper into her. As it hit new, previously unexplored areas of the ewe she shuddered at the pulses of pleasure it sent across her body. Her muscles clenched around it tightly, drawing a dull moan from Vernon's throat.

"Ooooooohhhh Rut..." The wolf muttered. "S-So t-t-tight."

Vernon's speed began to pick up, his confidence seeming to grow with each increasingly forceful stride. Each thrust sending sparks through Dawn from top to bottom.

"V-vernon!" She sputtered. Her legs wrapped around the wolf's waist, applying gentle pressure on the wolf's bucking hips. "M-more...P-please."

"D-dawn I..."

"I-It's so good." Dawn moaned as the wolf continued to thrust. "I can't t-take it!"

"But I jus-"

Dawn cut the wolf off by tightening her legs a bit more on the wolf, forcing his reluctant shaft deeper into her. She could feel his throbbing bulb bottom out against the outside of quivering lips.

"R-RUT!" The wolf snarled.

"D-DAGS!" Dawn hissed. It felt like the tip of the wolf was pressing against the bottom of her stomach. Intense and agonizing ecstasy rippled through her, punctuated by a little bit of pain. Dawn bit her lip fiercely, pulling herself closer to the Wolf's chest and off the bed.

"Hah. Hah." Dawn was gasping as the wolf once again increased his speed. The fire inside of her was quickly growing out of control. It was already more of a blazing inferno than during the sexual preamble, and she could feel that familiar sensation rising in her gut.

"D-Dawn, I-I-" The wolf growled. "I-I'm getting close."

"M-me too!" Dawn huffed, letting out another ragged bleat.

Despite her mind catching fire she couldn't help but think about how odd her current situation really was. If she had told herself five years ago that one day she would find herself pinned beneath a 'savage' predator, being sexually ravaged by the natural enemy of her species, and loving every second of it she would have scoffed. But take away the order, the genus, the family, and all that was left was love. Love of the one mammal who could see into her heart, who could bring out the best in her. It didn't matter that he was her natural enemy, that he was a predator, none of it. She wanted to live in the moment forever, joined to the love of her life in eternal bliss. The mammal she used to be would have been a fool to turn it away.

Dawn was reaching her breaking point, the heat in her nethers reaching an unbearable degree. It was only accelerated by the burning hot lance throbbing and thrusting deep inside of her.

"I'm I-I'm gonna-!" Dawn's legs squeezed like a vice against the wolf's rump, and the sudden jolt forced the wolf the rest of the way into her. The swollen bulb at the base of his wolfhood suddenly swallowed by her hungry sex.

"DAAAAAWWWWN!" Vernon cried out.

His shaft slammed against her up to the hilt before an eruption of hot liquid suddenly flushed into her sex causing her muscles to feel as though they were exploding.

"AwWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" Vernon's howl was muffled by Dawn's heart beating in hear ears. Her muscles clamped down violently, pulsing in response. The ewe reached her crescendo, her mind completely going blank as she felt herself consumed in ecstasy. She was burning down, being consumed in the raging inferno that was her desire. Her jaw fell slack, allowing her tongue to loll and a dull bleat to escape her throat. The only thought that managed to permeate the thick cloud of pleasure that was over-riding her senses was a simple response to her old self.

'Her loss.' She thought.

The rest of the night was a whirlwind of passion, with brief breaks in between each seemingly endless session. Dawn's long repressed lust was out of it's cage, and it managed to keep perfectly in step with the wolf's seemingly bottomless stamina. Vernon had become even more confident as the evening progressed, and it drove him on well into the wee hours of the morning. By the end of it, the two were run completely ragged, still yearning for more despite their body's betrayal. Dawn wasn't sure exactly when she passed out, but she was certain she had caught the barest glimpse of the morning sun before it all went dark again.

Dawn awoke to find she had fallen asleep in her glasses. The first thing she could she was Vernon's furred arm wrapped tightly around her in the somewhat dim lighting of the day. Dawn squeezed the wolf's arm in a tight hug before letting out a soft sigh.

"Morning darlin'" She heard the wolf mutter sweetly.

"Mhhh..." She sighed. "Is it morning?"

"I don't know." Vernon chuckled.

"How long have you been up?" The ewe swiveled herself around in the wolf's grasp, facing Vernon's half lidded gaze.

"Been up for 'bout an hour." He smiled. "Watching you sleep." Vernon twisted a curl of the ewe's poof around his finger playfully. "You make the cutest little bleating noises."

Dawn placed her hooves on Vernon's muzzle, giving him a soft kiss.

"Mhh..." She sighed. "Aren't you sweet..."

It was then Dawn became aware of the aching in her pelvis. She hadn't realized just how sore she was with her head still in the clouds from the previous night.

"Ugh..." She fidgeted uncomfortably, reaching down to rub one of her hips. "I feel like I've been to the gym." The ewe laughed.

"Same here." He replied. "So much for no 'particularly strenuous activity', eh Floofs?" Vernon chuckled.

Dawn gave the wolf a playful smack. "Yeah, so much for that. And you were suppose to be my carer. How unprofessional." She giggled.

"Hey, If you take me to court, I'll tell them how you seduced me." Vernon raised his hands defensively. "One look at those eyes and they'll know I'm not lying."

Dawn snuggled up to Vernon's chest, laying her head against the thick tuft of fur in it's center. Gently she began to stroke his pelt. She looked up at the wolf with gentle and adoring eyes.

"I love you Vernon." She sighed softly.

"I love you too Dawn." The wolf smirked back.

The ewe slid away from Vernon, making her way to the edge of the bed. Once at the side, she dangled her legs off the end. Carefully the ewe tried to stand. Despite the weakness and now the pain Dawn managed to fairly effortlessly get to her feet.

"Where you off too?" Vernon asked.

"I'm gonna find us something to eat." She replied.

"There's nothing in here Floof's." Vernon chuckled. "Why don't we go out and get something."

Dawn threw the wolf a worried glance. "V-vernon, I can't go out there."

The wolf laughed. "Dawn, you're not the most hated mammal in Zootopia anymore remember?" The wolf laughed. "Now you've got no excuse, besides I want to show off my beautiful ewe."

Dawn blushed at the wolf's remark. "Vernon..." She said with slight embarrassment, drawing out his name.

"Then again, the interspecies romance thing might not go over well on your new public image." Vernon looked down. "I-I hadn't really given that much thought."

Dawn climbed back onto the bed. Placing a hoof back against the wolf's muzzle, she stared lovingly into Vernon's eyes.

"Rut 'em." She said, grinning ear to ear. Vernon grinned broadly, his tail wagging briskly in response.

"In fact..." The ewe rolled her eyes, an idea starting to coalesce in her mind. " I think I'm gonna start writing again."

"Oh?" The wolf uttered, a look of surprise on his face. "You gonna do that biography we talked about?"

Dawn chuckled, shaking her head. "Sort of..." Dawn smiled. "But I was thinking of something a bit more intimate."

The ewe pulled away from the wolf, making her way back off the bed. As she made her way to the bedroom door, she turned to glance at the puzzled looking wolf, another smirk crawling across her face. "And I think I'm going to need your help to write it."
