He looked around at the empty kitchen, took a sip of his coffee and winced, it was cold. It hadn't taken that long, had it?

He threw the cup away. He was about to query the house when he noticed the sound of the shower. He smiled. Maybe Theo needed him to wash his back? He sauntered to the door, his clothing melting away and barely stopped in time when it didn't open.

It was odd enough someone closed the door, but lock it? Tucker was just slightly offended. What did Theo think? That he'd sneak in and murder him? No, more likely he hadn't meant to lock the door; the settings on this house were old, it hadn't been occupied anytime he was alive, and with Cass to open it for him, he wouldn't have noticed the auto-lock setting. Cass probably hadn't cared.

He'd just let himself in and make himself useful.

The shower shut off.

Really? You're finishing it as I'm ready to come in? Still it wasn't a complete loss just yet. Theo could use the help drying himself, and if they happen to get dirty again in the process, the shower would be right there.

He looked for the lock control, and common sense came sneaking in, unwanted as always, before he did anything more.

Hadn't he decided today would be about Cass? To cheer him up? Not to get in Theo's bed? One didn't preclude the other, did it? He could fuck Theo and still go through the plan for Cass.

Except they were best friends. If he fucked Theo, in his current mood Cass would take it as him being left out of things, it wasn't like Tucker could fuck the AI.

Tucker cursed silently. He hated it when he could work out how people would react. It always meant he wasn't getting to have his fun.

There'd be other days, he reminded himself. And who knew, it was possible Theo would be so grateful for Tucker's work he'd offer to have sex with him. Tucker smiled at that idea. How much more fun would it be if Theo initiated things.

He began stroking himself when he heard the steps approaching from the other side of the door. He cursed again and rushed to the table, remembering to put clothes on at the last moment.

The door opened and Theo stepped out, toweling his head, belt over his shoulder. Tucker sighed at the beautiful cock and balls. The rest of Theo was good looking too. Good muscle tone, although he was leaner than pretty much everyone else in the family.

Theo pushed the towel out of his face. "You're done? Sorry for leaving. After a few minutes I decided to have a shower. It's been a few days since I did more than lie on the couch. I hope you didn't wait long."

Tucker shook his head. "Just got back." He stood. "Put the belt on, we need to get going."

Theo eyed him. "Go where?"

Tucker put on his best smile. "It's a surprise."

"I'm not going anywhere with you."

Tucker was taken aback. "Why not?"

"Tucker, you have a one-track mind. The only reason you want me to go anywhere with you is because you're hoping that where ever we end up will make me say yes to having sex with you."

"That isn't true." Not a lie, Tucker told himself. He was hoping Theo would initiate the sex. Completely different. "This isn't even for you."

Theo's eyes narrowed. "Then why do you need me to come along?"

"Because it's for Cass. You two are kind of a package deal."

"Me?" Cass's tone was warier than Theo.

"Yes, you. I arranged something to cheer you up."

"Why?"

"What do you mean why?"

"I mean you aren't the most altruistic person I know," Cass replied.

"Hey, I can be altruistic." He was going to help a venue owner boost and possibly restart his business. He'd given an up and comer newscaster a scoop. "Come on Cass, you can trust me, you know that."

"No, I don't. For me to trust you, I'd have to believe you've given up on having sex with Theo. Have you?"

Tucker looked the naked tiger over and licked his lips. "Oh most certainly not."

"Then--"

"But not today."

The silence was complete. The utter disbelief on Theo's face in contrast was loud.

"I give you both my word, as an Orr, that I will not make any moves on Theo today. Today is only about you Cass; and you have my word too that you will enjoy it."

"What would you even know about what I enjoy?"

"I'm not clueless, you know."

Theo looked like he might say something, but then got this distracted look that Tucker guess meant he was listening to Cass. Instead of vocalizing his answers, the fingers on his right hand twitched.

He tried not to give away he was watching, looking for the key that would let him decipher the code, but Theo stilled his hand and raised an eyebrow.

Tucker shrugged. "You're twitchy, I'm curious. Can't be helped." He grinned.

Theo sighed. "It's your decision Cass. I think I'm safe from his advances, if he says he won't do it."

"He won't respect the first line of their own constitution," Cass replied, "how can I expect him to keep his word?"

Tucker hadn't expected to feel his ears warm up in a blush at the indirect chastising. How many time had he had to explain this to his father?

"I do respect it."

"Really?" the disbelief in Cass's tone was palpable.

Tucker sighed. "Yes, I do. When Theo tells me to stop, I stop."

"Your constitution says you need to ask."

"No, it says to respect Consent. I do that."

Cass sighed. "It's implied in the wording. 'The Corporation holds that above all is Consent.'"

Tucker smiled. "You've known me for a while Cass, do I come across as someone who does 'implied?' I put it out there, in front of people so it's clear what I'm after. It's not my fault if I don't interpret it the same way you do. Look, Cass. You and Theo can stay here in this really nice house, lie on the couch and bemoan the fact that you'll never make another movie. Or you can come with me, have some fun, distract yourself from this and who knows. Maybe you'll find a reason to keep going."

Theo glanced at the couch and Tucker saw the disdain in his eyes. Theo, at least had had enough, but he didn't say anything.

"Fine," Cass said. "But to be clear. I'm not doing this because I believe you. I'm doing this because Theo needs to go out. It's not fair to him that he has to be stuck in here just because I'm depressed."

Tucker clapped his hands. "Great. I have a hover waiting, come on."

* * * * *

"You ever flown over the continent before?" Tucker kept his tone conversational, but he'd noticed how Theo kept looking out the window.

"Not this one."

"Which one was it then?"

Theo smiled and settled back in the seat. "Not telling you."

Tucker snapped his fingers. "Darn, here goes my plan to learn all your deepest secret."

"Can you at least tell me where we're going?"

"The city is Denveraura. Largest city after Vegas on the west side of the continent. If you want larger than either, you need to head to the east side. New Pitts is twice the size of Vegas. We have a lot of industries there."

"And where in Denveraura are we going?"

Tucker smiled. "Not telling you."

Theo snapped his fingers. "Darn, and I thought I'd learn all your secrets."

They both laughed.

Five minutes later the hover landed on a crowded public pad. "It's a few blocks from here. If you see newscasters, that's where we're going."

Theo stopped halfway out of the hover. "The news? Tucker, I don't want to..."

"Theo, don't worry. No one is going to link you to what happened on Mars."

"Maybe you've forgotten, but they plastered my face everywhere when they unleashed their AI. The moment one of them records me, every recognition program is going to start flagging me."

"No program is going to flag you as anything other than the hottest guy I haven't done yet."

"Tucker, this isn't the time to be flippant. SolGov wants my head. You think they don't have every program out looking for me?"

Tucker pulled Theo out. "Uncle's already gone in there and altered the parameter so you won't trigger them."

"Why?"

Tucker studied the other tiger. Hadn't he worked it out yet? "Because you are family. Uncle will not let anything happen to you."

"Are you telling me that anyone of you could just go on a rampage and that AI would cover your tracks?"

Tucker laughed. "No. If you tried to do anything major, Uncle will stop you. We're not above the laws." Tucker paused. "Well, no more above them than anyone with a lot of money is."

Theo didn't look convinced.

Tucker sighed. "Uncle made it his responsibility to protect us. To protect his family. And that means to protect us from ourselves if he has to."

"So if I decided to steal a bunch of your secrets and ran off, he'd chase me? He'd send your Black Ops after me?"

"He would stop you before you'd gotten anything."

Cass cleared his throat. "Not that this isn't riveting, but I thought this outing was about me?"

Tucker smiled. "Right. We got sidetracked. Follow me, don't worry and listen for the crowd."

"Crowd?" Theo and Cass said at the same time.

Tucker smiled and headed to the street.

* * * * *

The noise was already loud before someone pinged him, received the returned information, and then the crowd exploded in cheers.

Tucker smiled and waved and laughed as Theo tried to shrink in on himself.

'Relax,' he texted him. 'You're just the guy with me.'

'I hate this,' came the reply.

Tucker kissed a guy, groped another as he made his way through the crowd. 'Just have fun, you're a citizen now, not a spy. This isn't a movie, it's just a party.'

'Cass cutting in, but I don't see how I'm supposed to enjoy a party.'

'Trust me Cass. Just trust me.'

The progress was slow, men were throwing themselves at Tucker. Tucker wasn't in the habit of making public appearances. He was one of the more reserved brothers when it came to the public, but he did have a reputation for being fun-loving, he simply didn't spend a lot of time planetside usually.

All he had on by the time he and Theo reached the entrance to the Allegorium was the belt and he already had cum stains in his fur. Some guys had been really excited to meet him. Theo still had his pants on, but his erection was visible as was the wet spot. He'd gotten swept into the excitement.

The doors were closed, with them broadcasting that the venue was reserved. Tucker contacted it, identified himself; went through the steps needed so he'd be granted temporary control, and pushed the doors open.

The ermine waited for him but before he could say anything, the crowd forced their way inside, pushing Tucker and Theo past the man. Tucker only had time to grab two of the lube rags as they passed the pile and they were in the auditorium.

Tucker pulled Theo along toward one of the elevated platforms but didn't climb it yet. He looked through the Allegorium's list of provided music for a good dance selection and set it to blast through the large room. This wouldn't stop anyone from having sex, but it would encourage energy more than lying around fucking.

'Cass,' Tucker texted preemptively, 'I'm just giving time for the room to fill and people to get excited.'

'Excited over what?'

'You'll see.' Tucker was amazed Cass hadn't picked up the news broadcast about this party and the star of honor. He didn't know how Cass compared as an AI to Uncle, but Uncle had an ear on everything going on. Maybe this was a sign of Cass's depression that he'd turned in on himself.

The auditorium was darker, having just enough light so people could make out who they were making out with, and in such a crowd no one bothered pinging anyone. So the guys, and gals who hugged, kissed and groped Tucker, did so because he was there, not because of who he was.

Someone was sucking him off when the Allegorium told him it had reached capacity. He let whoever it was finish him off, caught his breath and heaved himself up. The platforms were off limits because they were intended for what he would do and because there was no way to control how many people would climb on otherwise.

He watched the motion of the crowd, the dancing, the sex, the sexual dancing. He could leave it at that and no one would complain, being able to brag they had been at an Orr party would make them stars in their own rights.

He slowly lowered the music and brought up a spotlight on him. The crowd didn't notice the change as it was happening, but it caught on.

"Is everyone having fun?" he asked. His voice connected to the Allegorium's broadcasting system. He even sent it outside, where more people were waiting for a chance to come in.

A cheer went up.

"I'm glad to hear it. Now, before we officially start this, I'd like to set down... I'm not going to call them rules, just suggestions." He paused. "There's a lot of people who want to take part in this party, so don't be selfish. When you need a break, don't just fall asleep on the floor. You still count as a body for the room limit. Go outside and let someone else come in. This party is for everyone, so everyone should have a chance to be here. Right?"

A sound that could be approval went up.

"Lube rags are provided, use them. I don't know many people who enjoy a dry fuck. Don't take the chance. Beverages are provided, but not alcohol. I don't care If your Implant has a sobriety setting, not everyone has it and most cases of non-consent infractions happen when someone's drunk. This is for all of us to have fun, so be considerate and leave the alcohol outside. I can't make the rules on what happens outside. Terry won't let me."

Laughter.

"There are people here without Implants. Do not discriminate. And be careful of their interface. They need those to interact with the Allegorium."

More sounds that could be agreement or maybe a lot of orgasms.

"The only other suggestion I can think of should cover what I didn't think of. Don't be a moron. We're here to have fun so don't do anything that will get in the way of that. Got it?"

A cheer, definitely approval.

"Good. Now, I need to know, are there any fans of Cassius Gold movies here?"

The cheer was so loud Tucker felt his bones vibrate with it.

"Wow," he said when it quieted. "Wow," he repeated. He hadn't expected that. He was going to have to find a way to repay Denise.

"I'm glad there's so many of you. As you'll know from the news broadcast, I happen to know Mister Gold. No, I haven't known him long, unlike the rumors that fly on the net, we Orrs aren't on a first name basis with everyone in the sex industries. Especially not with those people who claim it's us in those movies they've put out. There's only three authorized Orr sex movies, the Centennial party, Sam's tour of the animal husbandry farm, and the still infamous Caleb recordings. Anything else is fraud and we take removing them from circulation seriously, so don't fall for them."

He cleared his throat. "Sorry, got sidetracked. Mister Gold has recently been let go by his distribution company." There was a gasp. "It isn't because of anything he's done. The decision was made without giving him a chance to appeal. He wasn't even told. He found out when he went to sent them his newest movies. Needless to say, it hit him hard. Now, I actually didn't know he was that Cassius Gold when I started talking with him. No, I haven't physically met him. Mister Gold likes his privacy. When I asked him why he didn't do any appearances, he told me he didn't want to be a distraction from the movies."

Tucker took a breath. "I'll be honest with you, I didn't really get why it hit him so hard. I mean, no one is stopping him from making more movies. What I didn't get is that he doesn't make the movies for himself. He makes them for you. All of you. I'm not sure I've ever met someone as selfless as he is."

Tucker noticed the room was silent.

"Come on, cheer up people, this is a party, not a funeral. I didn't gather you all here because I want us to Mourn, but because I want you to show Cassius how much you appreciate his work."

The cheer was tentative.

"Come on people, I thought you were fans of his movies."

The cheer almost rocked him off the platform.

"That's better. Now, this is in his honor, so Mister Gold may, or may not be among us. I don't know. But I am in contact with him. Cassius?" Tucker made a show of looking the crowd over. When he looked at Theo, he raised an eyebrow.

"Cassius, are you there?"

"I--" Cass' voice broke. He cleared his throat. "I'm here."

A hush fell over the room.

"Have you been listening?"

"I have. I didn't know you could be quite this long-winded."

Tucker grinned. "I'm full of hidden talents. How does it feel to know so many people are here to celebrate you?"

"It's--it's humbling. I know the numbers. But to see so many people here... I'm not sure I have to words."

"You see them? Does that mean you're here, among us?"

"The news is live broadcasting the party, Tuck, so maybe not."

Tucker smiled. "Maybe not. Everyone, say hi to Cassius Gold."

The cheer reverberated for a long time.

"I think we might have triggered some of the old seismic sensors back in Vegas with that," Tucker said. "Alright, so I got a lot of your fans here, and I'm thinking they are owed something, don't you?"

"I'm not sure I understand."

"Well, they're all here, so maybe they would like to see one of your movies?"

"I suppose they would, they're all available, so you can play one."

"They're not all available, are they?"

"Of course, none of them were removed from--oh."

"Right." Tucker smiled. "There's three of them only one person has seen at this point." Tucker eyed the crowd. "No, it isn't me. Come on, you think someone like Cassius Gold would trust me with his new work? Everyone knows I'd start blabbing them as soon as I saw them. So, Cassius, what do you say?"

"I--I can't."

The crowd booed.

Tucker waited for it to die down. "Why not? You're not dead, are you? I mean you might be dead to them, but you're not actually dead and they know it, right?"

"Well, yes, but it could cause problems."

"So, it's a contract thing?" texts after texts were popping up in Tucker's sight he had them auto file in a folder. He wasn't doing this behind the scene. He caught Theo's worried expression, so he sent back one text. 'Trust me.'

"I guess you could say that." Cass replied.

"So it's some bullshit to the effect of not having the rights to get another distributor to publish your movies?"

"Something like that." Cass' tone was cautious. So much so Tucker wanted to laugh.

"Cassius, this is a private venue. It's just me and a few of my friends." A cheer went up. "How can they complain about you giving a private showing? Especially since they aren't even going to look at your movies?"

There was silence, and the crowd held its collective breath.

"Oh," Cass said. "Oh! I hadn't considered that!" Life was coming back in the voice. "I mean, you're right, it isn't like they can do anything to me."

"And if they try, Orr Corp happens to have some very good lawyers."

"I'm not an Orr citizen."

Tucker waved that aside. "You're a friend of mine, that's almost as good. So? What do you say?"

"I say yes!" another bone-rattling cheer. "Can I address them?" Cass asked once it quieted.

"Believe me Cassius, they are all ears."

Cass cleared his throat. "Hello."

The crowd answered with a near synchronized 'hi!'

"I don't think you know what this means to me. I'm not a people person, but--there was a hitch in his voice--fuck this. I am not getting choked up."

Tucker chuckled along with everyone.

"Before I start, I have no choice but to say this. By contract law, I can not authorize you to make a recording of the movies I will be showing, and you are certainly not allowed to show them to your friends, or make them available over the net. Doing so would really piss off my distributor, understood?"

A cheer went up.

"Okay, so this first movie I started working a few years ago. It's called 'The Lone Miner.' It's the story of this lone miner who lives alone except for the guys he sees when selling the ore he found and how he releases his pent up sexual need during those visits. I hope you enjoy it."

Tucker received a file. He sent it to the Allegorium to play, making sure it showed on the screens as well as being available to be accessed by Implant. He jumped down from the platform to be pressed against it and kissed hard.

Tucker melted in the kiss. Moaned as he put a hand on that ass and squeezed it, grinding against a hard cock. Fuck Theo was a good kisser.

The tiger broke the kiss and whispered. "Don't get any ideas, the kiss is from Cass. You have no idea how much this helped."

Tucker grinned and placed his other hand on Theo's other cheeks and pulled him tight. "You know, I'm sure there's more you could do for Cass as a way of thanking me."

Theo laughed and pushed away. Tucker let him go. One of these days, he told himself. One of these days he was going to have that ass.

Tucker turned to find a pair of breast pressed against him. He smiled at the tigress. 'I want your babies,' she texted him.

Tucker smiled and shook his head. He turned her toward another guy and they kissed. Tucker used the lube rag to grope the next cock his hand reached, got a nod, turned and pressed his ass against the cock, sighing as it entered him. Strong arms held him as he was slowly fucked to the sound of moaning coming from the sound system.

* * * * *

Tucker pulled out of the guy he'd just finished fucking. The only thing he knew about him was that he wasn't Theo. And he only knew that because he was certain that even in this environment Theo wouldn't let him.

He stretched, and a cock fell in his hand. He grinned. It was a thick and heavy cock. He brought it to his mouth without even looking at who it was attached to. He grabbed the ass cheeks and got the guy to fuck his mouth hard and deep.

He held him there as he came, the 'rimming protocol' engaging when he started running out of breath. The man was done cumming long before he had to worry about air. He moved away and grinned at the bull, licking his lips.

He stood and felt a cock press between his cheeks. He pushed back and the next ten minutes were spent being fucked. After that he fucked someone, was sucked off, sucked someone off, fucked a few times, all the while trying to locate Theo.

He found him pressed between a cheetah pounding his ass and a dog of some kind moving on his cock. The tiger didn't look entirely awake.

Tucker crouched by his head and shook him. "Theo?"

Theo looked up, his eyes going over the hard cock and balls to Tucker's face. "I told you--"

"I just wanted to check if you wanted to head out. We've been here for almost fourteen hours. I know marathon orgies aren't something you're used to. So I figured you might have enough."

"Give me a bit." He motioned to the two guys with him.

Tucker found himself a cock to bounce on while he waited, adding to the Sheppard's cum covered chest by the time Theo joined him. The two of them were just as cum covered as the canine.

Tucker knew, from having tried when he was younger, that it was a lot of work to go through an orgy and not end up covered in cum.

"How's Cass?" Tucker asked as they threaded through the moving bodies.

"I think you managed to give him an orgasm of his own with this. It's quiet now, but he was gushing for the first hour. I think he's archiving all the footage he recorded."

Tucker tilted an ear before someone turned his head and kissed him. He gave the man a grope then excused himself.

Theo chuckled and answered Tucker's question. "Cass is wired into my body so I serve as the template for a lot of the characters in the movies, and he records the guys I have sex with for the motion and general body shape."

"So are all the movies basically you?"

Theo shook his head. "No. He cuts everything around and changes the scenes. Pieces of me are in all of them, but you wouldn't be able to get any recognition programs to identify me."

They pushed out of the auditorium and into the Allegorium's lobby and two more people were let in. The sounds of partying outside the building reached them each time the doors opened.

Tucker was pinged with an urgent flag and he stepped out of the travel path, pulling Theo with him and looked it over, reading it as he saw the ermine hurrying his way. The message simply said 'please wait.'

The ermine looked like he'd enjoyed the party as much as everyone else. Fur matted with cum and smelling of women as he got closer.

"Mister Orr, thank you for waiting."

"Not a problem Hubert, but I hope this is going to be quick."

"Yes, of course. It's just that at the start of all this you said that Mister Gold didn't have a distributor anymore."

"Yes, and if you remember he mentioned that his contract prevents him from seeking another one."

"Yes, yes, I understand, but I'm wondering if he'd be interested in entering into a deal with me for private showings of his new movies. I'd only show them here for a limited amount of time, it would allow his fans to see his work. I would be willing to pay him at least--"

Tucker grabbed the man's shoulders. "Tell you what. I'll pass the message along and if it's something he's interested in, he'll contact you directly, how does that sound?"

The man reigned in his excitement. "It sounds more than fair, Mister Tucker, thank you."

Tucker leaned in, licked the fresh cum on the man's muzzle and kissed him. "You're welcome."

Outside they had to push their way and decline more invitations for sex. The party had spread three blocks away from the building. This was a lot more people than he'd expected.

He was pinged and sighed as the news broadcasting company logo accompanied it. He looked around for anyone looking out-of-place like any news person did as he tried to decide if he'd get into more trouble running from them, or talking to them.

He saw the rottweiler and decided she'd be worth talking to. He motioned for a quieter area of the park across the road and she headed there.

"You want to be on the news?" he asked Theo.

"Absolutely not!"

Tucker grinned. "Then give me a few minutes, I need to talk to her. We're sort of under contract to give an interview with someone anytime one of us does something newsworthy." He looked at the crowd. "I think this qualifies. Go fuck someone."

He headed for where Denise was waiting for him. He went to hug her, but she stepped away.

"Sorry, Sir, these are my work clothes. They wont clean themselves by the time I need to be on the air and the company frowns on us using overlays when we're reporting outside a studio."

Tucker looked down at himself. "I tend to forget I'm matted with cum. I take it you didn't get a chance to enjoy the party?"

"I couldn't make it inside, but I spent a few hours having sex after recording the first segment."

"You should have pinged me, I'd have let you in. It's the least I owe you."

She smiled. "I'd take an introduction to Cassius Gold instead."

Tucker chewed his lips. "That isn't something I can promise. All I can do is pass the message along. It would be his decision."

"Fair enough. Mind if I start recording?"

"Go ahead, I can give you ten minutes."

"It won't take that long." She released a handful of drones and they took position around the two of them. "This is Denise Galliant for the Inquisitor, I managed to corner Tucker Orr, who organized this impromptu party. How do you think it went?"

Tucker smiled. "It went splendidly."

"Do you think Cassius Gold will be making more movies after this?"

"I have it on good authority that he's already working on something."

"How does it feel to use your position of authority to encourage people to break the law?"

Tucker grinned. "Now, now Denise. Nothing of the sort happened here tonight and you know it."

"Mister Gold just released three movies against the rules of his contract."

"No, this was a private showing. And he specifically told everyone here they couldn't distribute it."

"Mister Orr, can you expect anyone to believe this was anything other than an attack against his distributor? They never gave consent for--"

"Let me stop you right here Denise." Tucker had trouble keeping the smile from broadening. He liked this woman. "Companies are not people. Only people are covered by the constitution. If Mister Gold's old distributor wishes to file grievances, they're welcome to do so. And I'll make sure Cassius has the very best lawyers I can find. Now, I'm not much for laws." He grinned now. "But I think they're going to have trouble proving this is going to impact their bottom line since they weren't going to distribute the movies. As far as I'm concerned, that clause keeping him from seeking another distributor was pure maliciousness on their part. If they aren't interested in his movies, they have no business in keeping him from finding another way of reaching his fans."

"Are you planning on putting on another party like this?"

"No." He paused. "But then again, I wasn't planning on putting this one on until twenty minutes before I contacted you. So, who knows."

"Rumors are that you're not going to be on the Mercury when it takes off in a few hours, are they true? Or is that where you're heading now?"

"I'm heading for a shower and then home. No Orrs on this run. We have family matters to take care of."

"Care to elaborate?"

"Sorry Denise. I'm not authorized to comment on company businesses."

"Alright. Thank you for taking the time to speak with me, Mister Orr."

"It was a pleasure Denise, hopefully we can do this again."

She blinked, and the drones came to her hand.

"Thank you for giving me a chance to remind everyone that companies aren't covered by the corporation."

"There's a push to have them recognized, so I thought you'd want to comment on that. Now, off the record, is that Cassi--"

Tucker blocked her sight with a hand as she turned to look toward where he'd left Theo. "He's just a friend," he answered firmly. "And I would appreciate it if you didn't bring him into this, Denise."

"He's a tiger."

"I have plenty of friends who are tigers."

She nodded. "Most of them are your family."

"Denise. We got off to a nice start here. Please don't ruin it because you think there's a story here. My friends shouldn't have to have their lives upended just because my family has to be in the media's sights. I'm asking you nicely to forget you saw him."

She fixed Tucker. "The fact you are asking like that confirms there's something there. If I don't look into it, someone else will."

"And when I find out about it, I'll deal with them. They won't get the benefit of a friendly warning. Feel free to pass that message along and remind them what happened to Mister Gunther when he decided not to heed a friendly warning."

"Gunther broke the law. Looking into your friend isn't illegal. What you're doing here is coming very close to impeding on the news freedom rights."

"I'm not stopping you from doing anything Denise. I'm simply asking, nicely, that you leave him out of this. All of this."

"Will you contact me first, whenever you decide to go public with whatever he is about?"

"I can do that, yes."

She smiled. "In that case, I look forward to our next interview." She turned and headed out.

Tucker sighed. Not how he'd expected this to go. This was why he stayed out of the news light when he could. But he trusted her to keep to her word. If she didn't uncle would find out, and Tucker had warned her.

He found Theo sucking off a badger who was being fucked by a ram. Tucker declined the offers and helped Theo to his feet once he was done. He wiped the cum off Theo's muzzle with a finger and licked it off.

"How did it go?" Theo asked.

"As well as any interview ever goes. She's going to go far if she's careful not to step on powerful toes. She has a good eye for stories. Don't worry, I made it clear to her you were not a story."

"Isn't that going to make her want to dig? Can Uncle protect me from the news?"

"This is our country, Theo. If Uncle doesn't want something to happen, it doesn't." Tucker took a breath. That was not the direction he wanted the evening to go into. "Come on, let's find a public shower away from here and wash off. Then we can head back.

The first one they found that wasn't full, people leaving the party were also looking to clean up. Was a dozen blocks away, in a quiet neighborhood, which might account for it being empty when they reached it.

"Where do I hang up the belt?" Theo asked. "This thing's valuable, right?"

"Keep it on, it's waterproof. It's just about anything proof. You need specialized nanites to get through it." Tucker stepped under a shower head and the water began flowing.

Theo stepped under the one next to him, looked at Tucker, then moved one away. Considered the separation and stepped over the next one over.

"Should I be offended?" Tucker asked, trying to decide if he should be.

"Fourteen hours of sex," Theo said. "I'm thinking that if there's any time when you're going to take a chance to molest me, it's going to be now." Theo was smiling as he raised his head to the water.

Tucker laughed. "Maybe it's more than you're worried your own self-control is going to slip. You ever had that much sex in your life before?"

"Can't say that I ever had. I'm amazed I lasted the whole time, that I'm not exhausted right now. I mean you guys are made to be able to do that, I wasn't."

"That part didn't come from the clinic, it's pure O--"

"I swear," a man said from outside the showers, "if the foreman doesn't stop riding my ass. I'm going to bend him over and fuck him."

"He's just doing his job, if you want to complain tell it to--" he fell silent on noticing they weren't alone.

They were muscular with their clothing clinging to them with sweat. They looked at each other, shrugged and began undressing.

Tucker went back to washing himself. Public showers could handle more than a dozen people at the same time. One of the men took the jet next to Tucker and for a few minutes it was simply the sound of the water and of guys washing up.

"You want help with your back?" the guy said, his soapy hands already massaging Tucker's shoulder.

Tucker grinned. That had taken longer than he'd expected. "I always do." He opened his eyes and the other man was rubbing Theo's back. Theo was erect too. Tucker noticed the other man wasn't as the arm went around his neck and tightened.

Tucker grabbed for the arm and tried to pry it away but he didn't have the leverage and then a kick to his knees made him drop, keeping him from even pushing back until they hit something.

He kept fighting as he cursed himself for letting his guard down. But damn it, this was home. He shouldn't have to worry about something like this when he was home.

"Help!" Cass yelled. "Tuck, Theo's running out of air! I called the police but they won't be here in time!"

'Rimjob protocol activated.' The timer began rolling down. Tucker kept fighting, and after a minute he became sluggish, his hands slipped from the arm. He tried to raise them, but they didn't even make it halfway. His head lolled to the side.

The arm didn't let off.

"Don't kill him," someone hissed. The other man.

"What do you fucking care?"

"You know who that is? You do any damage to him and we're going to have the whole fucking country after us. Just put him down. He isn't who we want, anyway. Don't drop him, idiot!"

"Bitch bitch bitch. I swear working with you is like working with my mother." Tucker was lowered to the ground.

"Yeah? Does your mother let you fuck her too?"

"Ah, she wishes. No one wants to touch her anymore. She's ugly."

Tucker cracked an eye open. Both men had their back to him. He unclipped the belt and reached down for it.

"Aren't you supporting her?"

"You kidding? Do you have any idea how much money it cost keeping you pretty? I've got nothing left for her."

"You say the sweetest things. Jerk."

Tucker closed his hand on the buckle. Cass was silent. Maybe he was trying to find a way to alert someone else? He'd told uncle by now, even if Tucker hadn't bothered. But there was nothing he could do legally. Any of the tricks he'd pull in space would be noticed.

And it wasn't like Tucker needed help.

He stood, making the belt straight and hard, and crossed the space. The man holding Theo cursed, pulling Theo away and unbalancing his partner, but Tucker adjusted and hit the man square on the head. Fuck bodily damage, he knew Theo hadn't given consent to any of this. Tucker certainly hadn't. The man went down.

The other man looked at the clothes hanging by the entrance. Naked he had no weapons. He dropped Theo and lunged at Tucker. Tucker sidestepped, punched the side of the man's face and then over the head with the belt. Down he went too.

Tucker went to Theo. "How is he?"

"Alive," Cass replied. "Unconscious due to being suffocated, but as far as I can tell he's going to be okay. Who are they? Why are they after Theo?"

Tucker breathed easier. "I don't know, but the police can ask them. I hear footsteps approaching."

"That can't be the police," Cass said. "I'm monitoring their frequencies. They're still three minutes away."

'Uncle?' Tucker texted.

'None of mine either.'

Tucker sighed and unclipped Theo's belt and pulled it off. He ignored Cass' protest and made it straight and hard as he moved next to the door.

He listened, four people, possibly five, no more than six. The first two entered and headed for Theo. They paused when they notice the other two unconscious men. Tucker had already hit one. The other went down in the return swing, muzzle broken and bleeding.

Tucker dodged the punch, used both belts to hit the attacker in the stomach. She went off her feet with an exhale of breath and fell face first. Tucker kicked her in the face as he blocked another arm. He swung hard at the man's face and he spun off balance, dropping to the ground and allowing another to run at Tucker.

The impact made Tucker drop a belt, and he saw stars as they hit a wall. When his vision cleared, the man was still keeping him in place while punching Tucker in the side.

Tucker changed his grip on the belt so the end extended an inch past his closed fist as he brought it down as hard as he could on the man's back. There was a crack at the impact and the man dropped.

He whimpered. "My legs. I can't feel my legs."

Tucker snorted. The man should be happy he was still alive. If he'd hit any higher, he could have killed him. He looked at the people on the ground. Unconscious or moaning in pain.

Sirens were approaching, but still far. Theo was looking at him, rubbing his neck.

Tucker grabbed the belt he dropped and sat next to the other tiger, handing him his belt.

"Where did you learn to do that?" Theo's voice was rough; maybe his throat had been damaged?

"When I was twenty, this stick expert was giving demonstrations. Otter, beautiful brown fur, thick like only otter fur can be. Strong, agile, and this thick cock. I was in lust the moment I saw him. He also taught, so I enrolled."

"You two fucked?" Theo sounded a little better.

"Oh yeah. The guy was a master at that too."

"Okay, so why stick with it if you got to fuck?"

"He wouldn't let me top him unless I could beat him with the sticks."

Theo smiled. "Of course that would be sex driven too."

"I'm an easy guy to figure out."

"So you beat him?"

Tucker shook his head. "After a year and a half he got an offer to take his performance through the system."

"So you saw him again?"

"No. When he came back this way he didn't reply to my messages. I wasn't that important to him."

"I'm sorry."

"Why?"

"You did all that, and he just forgot about you."

Tucker laughed. "I did all that so I'd get a chance to fuck him. He didn't mean that much to me either."

Theo rested his head against the wall. "I will never understand you."

"What's there to understand, I told you. It's just sex. There are plenty of guys out there. There are plenty of better guys than him out there.

"You said he was good."

"He was, but I've had better since. I've had bigger, thicker." Tucker shrugged. "You name it, I've had it better. And I'm sure I'll have better than them, eventually. It's just sex. Are you telling me you remember all the guys you've had sex with?"

"No, but I remember those I put a lot of effort into having sex with."

Tucker shrugged. "When it ended, did it ruin your life?"

"No, but I knew it was going to end. In my job, when I go after a guy it isn't going to last."

"Can I ask something?" Cass asked.

"Shoot."

"I thought the belt was mine, well Theo's. Aren't I supposed to be the only one who can access it?"

"Sorry, I have an override."

"Let me guess, everyone in your family does. For emergencies and such."

Tucker didn't miss the way he said the word, but ignored it. "Something like that. Please don't go altering any of it. There's a reason they're designed that way."

"I'm willing to bet your belt doesn't have that."

"It does. You have the exact same design as everyone else. You're not being treated differently. Well, other than not sleeping with any of us."

Theo's reply was cut off by a man in police uniform stepping in the shower building. They looked at the people on the ground, then at Tucker and Theo.

Theo pointed to Tucker. "Don't look at me, he did all this."

The officer looked at Tucker, then the seven people on the ground. "You did this?"

Tucker smiled. "Hey, they touched me without my consent. I had to remind them how things are done in this country."
