My lovely reader, we've reached the finale of this particular story. I know it's not the epic sweeping tales you may have come to expect from me, but a short and sweet romance isn't so bad, yes? (70k+ words is short? What have I done to myself?)

Karen has some long overdue business to settle with a certain fox, and I'd say she's eager to get to it. Of course her wolf will be with her every step of the way, like a true dog in shining armor.

This is a big episode but there's a lot to see and fit in with this one. Ah not to worry though, I'll fit a bit of sex in, along with some romance, even a little combat. Oh yes, it'll have it all~

Alright, let's get started with the final episode and jump right in!

Episode 7:

A Bunny's Bounty

A few more weeks passed before Keys contacted Isaac once again about what they had spoken of. The wolf was sitting cross-legged on the mat in his training room wearing his gi. Karen was at work so he was alone in the house.

"So as I said, these are temporary permits, Isaac. They will only last about six months." Keys spoke to him through the phone, typing away at their keyboard.

"Got it, but it will suffice for an extradition and proper citizens arrest, yeah?" There was a slight pant in the wolf's voice, he had been in the middle of some intense movements when Keys called him.

More silence and typing, then Keys answered, "I only work with a few dozen bail bondsmen every day, Isaac. I think I would know my way around the bounty hunting trade."

"Apologies, I don't doubt you. Just concerned since Karen is involved directly now." He huffed the words trying to sound sincere as to not rile up his informant.

"It's an interesting turn of events, but from an outside perspective, I find it... appropriate. Rare is the damsel that slays the dragon herself instead of waiting on the white knight to do it," The informant muses the words through the speaker.

Isaac grins wide at the words, "Yeah that sounds about like her."

"Make sure you contact the local authorities as this goes down. You don't want to be arrested for kidnapping. Also don't turn over custody of the perp to them, if you don't return him to the point of origin where the warrant was issued, you may lose your payday," Keys spoke the words with practiced pace as if they had said them a hundred times, all the while typing away.

"Got it, we aren't in it for a payday but what's this guy's price worth anyway?" Isaac asked the words curiously.

"Hmm... the state issued a general five thousand for him upon initial flight. So not much... considering the time and investment you've already put into him, you won't even break even." Isaac shrugged at the words while Keys spoke them.

"That's okay, this isn't about the money," Isaac spoke the words as he climbed to his footpads and moved over to the closet mirror looking himself over in his gi.

"Obviously not," Keys quickly responded while typing with a little more aggravation. "I'm going to the registry and posting an official request for the bounty to be re-instituted. The state should have it live within forty-eight hours."

Isaac flicked his ears sensing the irritation in their voice, "Keys, man, you okay?"

More typing as the informant just kept speaking without missing a beat, "I would recommend you and Karen be on your way there within eight hours of the deadline. This guy would be a juicy target for a small-time group if they caught wind of him."

"Keys!" Isaac barked into the phone.

Silence, even the typing stopped. After a few moments, they came back with, "I'm fine."

"You don't sound fine, man." Isaac let the concern show in his voice, "It's not like you to have an edge."

"It's not like me to get so involved in my client's personal bullshit either, is it?" Keys snapped back pointedly.

"F-fair... for what it's worth. You have no ide-"

"Stop." Keys interrupted his words and the wolf grew silent. More typing then finally a sigh, "I know exactly how much I helped, and how little I did as well. I try to be disconnected from as much of this shit as possible, you know? I see rape and murder cases on a daily basis, along with cheating spouses, kidnappings, lost kits... you name it."

Isaac grew silent, he had an idea. He had several infidelity cases he had done in the past along with a few missing children.

A long bout of silence and then a question, "How serious are you guys now?"

The dog quirked an ear in confusion, not sure how to respond. It wasn't that the question threw him off, it was just the first time Keys had ever asked him something so directly personal. Isaac gave it some thought and spoke up, "Very... I told her once this is over, I wanted her to move in with me."

A little more silence on the phone then another question, "Do you love her?"

"I do," Isaac answered it with no hesitation at all.

"Hmm... Do you see, Hazel in her?"

So many personal questions at once, Isaac shook his head before huffing out softly, "I... do not. No... from time to time she may say something or do something that reminds me of my ex-wife, but Karen is a very different woman. I'm not trying to replace her, Karen isn't a substitute. Truth be told I figured I was going to be alone for the rest of the game. Maybe an occasional one-nighter, but never see love again."

More silence then a soft brief laugh, "Ha... good for you Isaac. You cherish that rabbit. Hold on tight to her and never let her go..." Keys cleared their throat and their voice seemed to slide back into business mode. "Forty-eight hours. Don't rough him up too much either. I know it's tempting, but if he comes in needing to go straight to the hospital, it's going to cause problems and could even jeopardize any convictions sticking. Do you understand?"

Isaac blushed, listening to the words, hearing him being told to cherish her and never let her go. He had to flick his ears and focus once Keys went back into serious talk, "Y-yeah, I got it."

"Tell Karen all this shit too, puppy. She tears him apart and puts him in the ICU, she can kiss any justice for herself goodbye and will probably buy herself an assault charge or three!" Keys fussed the words like telling a child not to play in the street.

"Right! I got it, I got it!" Isaac responded to the words as if responding to a drill sergeant.

"Good dog. I will contact you after you officially take him in. Happy hunting." Keys sounded a little chipper at the last part and the call disconnected.

"'Good dog'... you son of a bitch..." Isaac grinned as he set the phone back on the table and returned to his practice.

--*--

"I would have preferred a little more warning, but I guess that's the nature of the buisness," Karen spoke the words after chomping down the last few bites of her food.

Isaac stood and took both their plates to the kitchen and looked at her from the sink while washing them, "Yeah, sorry Angel, but we need to pretty much be on the road in the next day and a half."

Karen gave a grin before hopping up and sauntering into the kitchen with her wolf. "Good, I can't wait to see Jeremy again. Oh, we have so much catching up to do, him and I." She cooed the words playfully, cracking her knuckles.

"Oh, right. Keys told me to warn you about something. Don't rough him up too much or we could have major complications with turning him over," Isaac spoke the words as gently as he could while looking at her out of the corner of his eye.

The rabbit grumbled and leaned against the refrigerator. "Yeah yeah... I won't break any bones or leave any scars..." She really did sound disappointed at the notion.

"Ha... you're a paragon of restraint and grace, my love." The wolf spoke the words in a loving tone, drying his handpaws off on a towel before walking over and pecking her lips with a quick kiss.

Karen gave the dog a grin and grabbed his collar pulling him down, not satisfied with the quick little peck, and shoved her muzzle hard to his own in a hungry deep kiss. The wolf growled against her mouth, his left handpaw finding her rear and pulling her body into his own, feeling her breasts push into him. His other paw slid through her soft dark hair and brushed against her flicking ear.

They held the kiss for several moments before Isaac pulled from her mouth and gave her a childish grin. "By the way, I got you something... I was waiting till we got the word to give it to you."

Karen perked her ears and held out her left handpaw with a grin, "Ah did you get me a ring, Isaac? Are you going to take a knee here in the kitchen and propose?" She spoke the words in a playful sing-song tone of voice.

The dog blushed darkly under his fur at the words and then huffed, "Y-you don't strike me as the marriage type, Karen." He cracked a small grin across his muzzle at her, putting a paw on his hip.

"Only if you're in the dress, Honey," She huffed the words and pushed her left paw to his chest, leaning in as he leaned down for her as she kissed his mouth quickly once more.

"Well now that I know your expectations, I know what to plan for." The dog grinned and trotted out of the room.

When he came back with a large paper-wrapped package, Karen was sitting on the sofa in the den waiting for him. She gave him a smile that turned into a grin. "Is that my dress?"

"I thought I was wearing the dress?" The dog snorted the words and tossed the wrapped package onto the coffee table with a heavy thump.

"Ha... you know I'm not sure what I would do if you actually took a knee and tried..." She blushed and looked away, grinning before pressing a palm to her own cheek, feeling it warm to her touch.

The wolf's ears perked up and his heart thumped heavily before he shook his head and growled, "S-stop fucking with me about that..."

Karen cut her bright emerald eyes towards his icy blue ones and gave a gentle timid smile but said nothing. Isaac felt his heart shove straight into his throat before he swallowed it back down. "Tch... J-just open the damn package already!" He growled the words, his voice cracking slightly.

"Yes, Honey..." She cooed the words lovingly and sat up grabbing the brown paper and tearing it away eagerly. It wasn't a dress but it was a garment. A heavy duster jacket mimicking his own. "W-wait... this is just like yours..."

Isaac nodded and grinned proudly before speaking, "Yep. I had the guy that made mine make you a custom one sized to your own body type!"

"That... had to be expensive, Honey..." Karen looked up at him with concern in her eyes but was already pulling it out to try it on.

The wolf shrugged at the statement, "I want you to be safe when I'm not around. I never spend my money so it's no big. Worth it even if it protects you once."

Karen bit her lip listening to him and shook her head, her large ears flopping slightly while she pulled the duster on. She quickly moved to the mirror and looked it over, it came down to her knees, just like his did on him. The material was heavy but soft and warm to wear but seemed to breathe well. She turned and saw it even had an opening for her little mocha tail to poke out where the material parted slightly. "Ha... it feels good... I gotta get used to the weight, but I love it!"

She grinned and turned to the wolf who was standing before her smiling at her. "It's got a holster sewn into the back like mine does, so if you ever decide to get a concealed carry, you're all set to go."

Karen reached into the back flap of the coat behind herself to feel the indentation of the leather sleeve and strap he spoke of. The pockets felt heavy so she moved her handpaws into them curiously. She had stolen his jacket on more than a few dates so she was aware of where the pockets and such were.

"Ah yes, I went ahead and included a few things, just some simple no-frills protection items. Pepper spray, a retractable baton, a taser, and even some brass knuckles." The wolf huffed the words proudly then watched her fish through her pockets pulling out the various items and sizing them up before putting them back.

"This is so cool!" Karen piped out the words like a little kid getting what they wanted for the holidays. She turned to look in the mirror again, huffing at herself and enjoying how tough she looked in it. "I should take up smoking and get a fedora so I can look like a mobster!"

Isaac laughed and stepped over to her looking down upon her in the mirror, "Please don't, I prefer your mouth not taste like an ashtray."

Karen grinned up at him flicking her ears down, "Okay but what about the fedora? Also, I need a Tommy gun!"

The wolf smiled cheerfully, "I'm glad you're so happy with it..."

"I am! It's really... just... cool!" Karen grinned again looking at herself in the mirror again and puffed her chest out before shoving her handpaws into the side pockets to look at herself in that position. Her ears lifted up feeling something in the left pocket and pulled it out, it was a small box with a lid on it, the kind that jewelry came in. The rabbit felt her breath stop as she looked at it.

"Oh, that. Right, I almost forgot." Isaac gingerly plucked the box from the rabbit's paw and took a knee in front of her. Karen felt her chest tighten and her heart race, her ears erratically flicking about.

"Y-you... y-you're not..." She huffed the words as the wolf opened the lid of the box, there was a ring in it, a small silver one with an emerald set in it, the same color as her eyes.

Isaac grinned and wagged his tail as he took the ring out and slid it over her fourth finger. Karen let out a soft squeak of a gasp at the gesture, her face blushing furiously under her fur. Her heart pounded in her ears and her knees felt like they would buckle under the weight of the duster she wore, her handpaw trembling.

The wolf kissed the top of her handpaw and looked up at her with a bright grin across his muzzle and flicked his heavy tail a few times. "Karen you make me so happy, and a wolf a hundred times better than I would ever be without you in my life."

Her eyes grew wet, her vision blurred and she felt a sob start to spill forth before the wolf gave her a playful grin. "Oh, but I didn't want to just get you a jacket, so I bought you a nice ring too. No symbology behind it, just something pretty for my bunny." He spoke the words in a playful huff.

Karen's eyes widened at the tone and she growled and pounced on top of the dog knocking him onto his butt and pushing him down onto his back. "Y-you... mother... fucker!" She huffed the words with tears showing in her eyes, biting her lower lip and flicking her tail furiously.

Isaac grinned up at her and bit his own lip, "But... if you want to leave it on the finger... I won't mind... I can get one to wear as well..."

Karen let out a ragged shaky breath before slumping down on top of her wolf. She gently nuzzled his chest and then saw Isaac shove his left handpaw into his pocket and muss around in it for a moment before withdrawing it with a similar silver band on his fourth finger, but the gemstone was a deep blue aquamarine.

She glared at him furiously her cheeks full-on red. "Y-you really did mean it! Are you crazy?!"

"I am... I lost my mind the night I saw you..." The dog spoke the words casually and blinked up at the rabbit with a smile, his own eyes a little misty looking. "Don't think on it too hard, Just think of it as us laying claim on one another more thoroughly than hickies on our throats, mm?"

The rabbit shook her head then snorted out a soft laugh, looking at her ring and then his. "D-dumb dog... I guess I lost my mind that night too... because it makes me really happy... Yeah, you can claim me... I'm happy to be yours and... happy to take you as mine."

The wolf and rabbit embraced and kissed fervently together, both their tails happily wagging about. Several moments pass with both of their paws tangled in the other's hair, their tongues gently flicking and rolling against one another's before Karen finally pulls back from the kiss to grin down at her dog proudly.

"So does this..." She holds her handpaw up showing off the ring. "... mean you are confident on your decision that I should move in with you once this is settled?"

The wolf blinks up at the rabbit and nods, "Not a shred of doubt in my mind, I want you with me always..."

"To want a bitchy and moody rabbit like me living with you? You, are insane!" Karen giggled the words and sighed happily, leaning down pecking his lips with a gentle kiss before sliding off his chest to stand. "Or a masochist, I'm not sure which..."

Isaac grins and picks himself up off the floor before moving over to Karen. He gently moves a handpaw to her head, stroking the back of her hair and ears before pulling her body against his. Karen hugged him tightly shoving her face into his chest, enjoying his scent and warmth while he petted her.

"We've got a lot of planning and prep work to do, Angel..." He huffed the words down into her ears softly while stroking them.

Karen just shook her head while hugging him. "Later... just pet me and let me love you for a little longer." She huffed the words against his shirt in a demanding tone of voice.

The wolf smiled and held her closer, his heavy crimson tail lazy in its sway while he stroked her head. They stayed like that for a while, just holding one another, enjoying each other's warmth, scent, and heat.

--*--

"I hated to dump those shifts on Crystal last minute, but she seemed to understand since I never take days off or vacation time," Karen spoke the words while looking out the passenger window at the darkness of the night, open fields, and starry skies stretched forth.

Isaac gave a heavy yawn before nodding and cutting his eyes to her while driving, she had one booted footpaw propped against the dash, her elbow resting on her bent knee. They had been driving for around five hours and were still an hour out, "So diligent, never took vacations at all?"

Karen shrugged, then looked over at her wolf and gave him a smile. "Never had a reason to go do anything, well until now."

The wolf grinned showing his sharp canines looking at her for a moment before reaching a paw out and resting it upon her inner thigh. Karen happily hugged his arm up, leaning as close to her lover as her seatbelt allowed.

Several minutes passed like that before she broke the silence, opening her eyes to look out at the road in front of them, "So... we crash at a motel, then do this in the afternoon?"

Isaac nodded before responding, "I don't foresee much issue but better to do this after he comes in from work, he will be tired from the day and less capable of putting up a fight or fleeing."

Karen grinned and popped her knuckles, "Oh I pray he puts up a fight..."

Isaac snorted a huff through his nose, "Karen... remember what-"

"I know, I know! I won't tear him apart!" She quickly groaned the words while rolling her eyes.

"Sorry Angel... I can only imagine..." He squeezed her leg gently and tried to give her a reassuring smile.

"It's fine, really. I will be cool." She nodded, trying to convince herself as much as him with the words.

Isaac took a few minutes before continuing, "The other reason for the afternoon... Is I want to transport him back in the evening hours under the cover of darkness. The windows are tinted, but I would rather not have him making a fuss with a large group of onlookers at say a gas station or rest stop."

Karen nodded at the words, "Makes sense, wouldn't want someone getting the wrong idea and calling the cops, would just cause us more headaches."

"Right," Isaac huffed.

The rest of the drive was spent talking about plans and countermeasures for various situations, the wolf had been spending several weeks planning this even before Karen was brought into the fold of it.

They arrived and checked into a hotel only a few miles from Jeremy's home. Both were worn out from their work, then the overnight drive, and so the two of them pretty much collapsed into bed after a quick romp, sleeping into the early afternoon hours.

--*--

They pulled to the curb on the opposite side of the street from Jeremy's cozy-looking home and Isaac killed the engine. Both of them sat there in silence for several moments, the tension of the situation sinking in. Isaac was the first to break the silence. "Okay... Keys gave me detailed information on their schedules, the kids are at a game today with their mom. Jeremy will be home within the hour barring something like stopping off at the store or something."

"Too bad... I would have liked to of seen his wife's reaction when we dragged him off and she found out she had been lied to about who he was for the better part of a decade," Karen growled the words out gritting her teeth and popping knuckles on her fist again.

"I wouldn't, she could be an unknown factor we don't want to deal with. It's all going swimmingly until the angry spouse comes out with a gun." Isaac spoke the words in a matter-of-fact tone.

"Tch... yeah..." Karen grumbled the words as she looked at the large house and snarled to herself again.

"It's all about to come crashing down, keep that in mind before you get too angry... served cold, you know?" Isaac huffed the words and moved a handpaw to rub and stroke his rabbit's ears comfortingly.

Karen sighed and felt the tension draining from her at her wolf's strong touch, she closed her eyes basking in his attention before sighing, "Yeah... fucker isn't going to see it coming and that gets me so fucking wet..."

Isaac huffed a laugh and grinned, "I thought I was smelling you! Ha... what a lewd rabbit."

Karen opened her eyes and gave the dog a wide grin, "You have no idea how many nights I've fantasized about putting this son of a bitch in his place... You've made this happen for me, brought me something I truly never believed I would get. Damn right I'm soaked!" The rabbit sighed happily and then huffed in a matter-of-fact tone, "And you will fix it later."

The wolf blushed at the words then bit his lip at the command near the end. "O-of course I will."

"And no dom stuff, you let me, use, you," Karen huffed the words out poking his chest a few times to make her point clear she wasn't going to let him be alpha during it.

The dog grinned excitedly and wagged his tail, "Yes my rabbit, all yours!"

"Hgn... good boy... our windows are tinted, maybe we should just skip to it right now!" The rabbit huffed the words and the wolf could smell her eagerness building up in the cabin of the car.

"I think it's going to have to wait..." He nodded towards the driveway as a sporty little red car pulled in.

"Really? A car like that?! I can feel your small dick energy from here, Jeremy!" Karen snarled hatefully.

"Is it small?" Isaac quirked a brow curiously as he pulled the keys from the ignition.

Karen let out a bitter little laugh, "Ha...maybe average on a good day. Not even close to a monster like you!" The rabbit gave the wolf a playful grin before climbing out of the car and moving to the trunk.

Isaac wagged his tail at the compliment and walked to the back of the car, opening the trunk. Karen donned her new duster with all her toys in it, then held her left handpaw up looking at her emerald ring in the light of the afternoon sun.

"You cool?" Isaac asked her gently, gripping her left handpaw in his, letting her see his own ring.

Karen gave a wide grin, "Yeah! Just excited to be done with this so we can start our new life together!"

The wolf felt his heart pick up a few notches at the words and quickly moved in for a kiss, the rabbit was happy to return it with a push of her own lips to his muzzle. He only held it a few moments with her before pulling away and huffing, "Okay, showtime, let's focus here."

Karen nodded and bit her lower lip, giving him that kind of look she did when she was about to drag him into the floor and climb on top of him. Isaac averted his eyes and tried to keep talking, "S-so, I'm going to get on the phone with the local police and let them know what's up. You go collect him."

Karen's ears perked at that and she blinked. "Wait... you're sending me to do it alone?"

"I am." Isaac nodded before continuing, "I will be nearby and will be able to see everything."

"Yeah, but why send me in alone and us not go together?" Karen felt a bit of tension move up her spine, her body reminded her of those years ago and her weakness, how he held her down, how he overpowered her.

The wolf put both paws on the rabbit's shoulders and leaned in to softly kiss her forehead, then looked her in the eyes and gave a smile, "Because you need to do this alone. This is a dragon you have to slay for yourself..."

Karen snorted at the words, "Dragon? Slay? What the fuck have you been reading, nerd?" She spoke the words playfully at him with a grin.

"God damn it Keys..." Isaac muttered the words before standing up again and huffing. "Either Way I feel you need to confront him on your own, you two need to talk alone. I will be right behind you the whole time and keeping an eye on things, if something gets stupid, I will be there."

Karen gave the dog a loving smile her tail flicking out of the duster opening behind her. "I know you will... I trust you and... I love you."

Isaac felt his chest tighten with pride at the words and huffed out confidently, "I love you too. Now let's do this!"

Karen gave the dog a wicked grin and spun on her heel as they both moved across the street over to the house they had been watching. Isaac withdrew his cell phone when they were about halfway to the front door and stopped walking about thirty feet out.

Karen felt a cold chill run up her spine as the wolf stopped walking with her, she was alone for this, she knew he was back there watching, but this was all her now. The rabbit clenched her teeth and bundled that fear up in before swallowing it down. "Every fucking nightmare... every cry in the shower... I'm leaving it all here with you, Jeremy," She snarled the words as she stomped to the front door and knocked on it heavily.

Isaac was already on the phone with the police now, explaining what was going down. He faced the house, keeping an eye on Karen and making sure she was in full view. The wolf reached into the back of his own duster, found the beretta, and flicked the safety off on it. 'If this fucker hurts my rabbit, he isn't going anywhere but in the dirt,' The wolf thought to himself as he spoke with the dispatcher for the police department.

There were heavy footsteps coming from inside before the door opened. The fox that opened the door looked to be about a foot shorter than Isaac but still pretty tall for a fox, his black ears and tail had white tips on them similar to how Karen's lightened at the tips. He looked like married life had made him comfortable, he had put on a small gut and looked about thirty pounds heavier than the last time she saw him.

The fox saw the large wolf in his driveway on the phone first before noticing the small rabbit leaning against the side of his vinyl siding, a knee bent, one boot pushed into it as she leaned against wall as if she had been waiting all day. "Long time no see... Jeremy."

He looked confused at first, "I'm sorry my name is Sam, I think you've got the wron-" His breath caught in his throat. His brain caught up to the name and his tail went stiff, his spine going rigid. He looked at the rabbit more intently and she dialed her emerald eyes right in on his black ones.

A chill ran down the fox's spine, his mouth agape in realization, "K-Karen, is that you?"

She pushed off the wall and spread her palms facing the fox full-on with her arms out slightly, her ears flicked up as she kept looking straight into his eyes, the eyes she had begged to stop, the eyes she had seen in her nightmares for so many years. "Jeremy, you never write, you never call... One might be lead to believe you had been... avoiding me."

"Karen I- look, you have no idea how sorry I am about that all those years ago!" The fox spoke the words, his voice sounding shocked and panicked, still trying to absorb what was happening.

"Is that right?" Karen cracked her neck and looked the fox up and down, sizing him up. "Because, you didn't seem real sorry about it when I told you to stop like fifty times!" An edge came to her voice, as she snapped the words. "You didn't seem sorry when you ran away and left me to suffer for almost eight fucking years!"

"Look Karen... that was a long time ago, we both just need to move on..." The fox huffed the words and took a step back into his house as if he were going to shut the door.

"Fuck you!" Karen slammed her paw against the door, forcing it wide open as Jeremy stumbled back a few paces. "Move on?! Yeah, you look like you moved on pretty easily 'Sam'!" The rabbit clenched her fists feeling her knuckles pop, "While I suffered from nightmares, couldn't stand being touched for years...Yeah, I'm soooo glad at least one of us moved on!"

The fox grit his teeth feeling the adrenaline kick up from her screaming and shoving his door open, he huffed angrily and stood up straight glaring at her now. "You need to get out of my house."

"You need to kiss my ass! Make me!" Karen sneered the words and curled a finger in a beckoning motion. "Try to make me puppy, I promise the results will be very... very different from years ago."

Isaac shot his ears up at the scene and took a few more steps towards the house to stay within earshot, but tried to keep as much distance as he could.

"I said get out, or I will call the cops!" The fox snapped the words at her, the rabbit just giggled at them.

"Oh them, they are already on the way, my fox." She cooed the words venomously at him and looked back at Isaac with a grin. "You see 'Sam'... you may have moved on, but I haven't aaaand unfortunately for you..." The rabbit reached in her coat and withdrew the warrant for his arrest along with her bail bondsman license, shoving them both in his face. "Neither has the law..." She spoke the last of the words with a seductive sigh.

The fox looked at the warrant feeling his heart race then glared at the rabbit and moved a handpaw against her chest pushing her hard, "You... you just come in and want to fuck my whole life over with your petty bullshit?!"

Karen grinned at the shove, she had already pivoted her body to shake off almost the entire movement. Isaac huffed furiously and started stomping towards her, but Karen thrust a finger out towards the wolf. He snorted and halted his pace his tail whipping about in anger.

Karen turned her gaze back to the angry-looking fox and tucked the warrant and license back into her duster, giving him a cocky gaze. "That's your one freebie, if you touch me again, I make you hurt..." She sighed like she was bored and rolled her eyes, "Now puppy, turn around like the little beta you are. The big bad bunny rabbit needs to put some cuffs on you."

Of course, she was pushing his buttons, of course, she wanted him to lash out, and of course, he took the bait hook line, and sinker. "You... you fucking little bitch! I should have come back for more just to make a point!" He snarled the words and lunged for the rabbit.

Karen gave him a wild-looking grin in his mid-lunge, the fox's eyes widening in the split seconds of it all, realizing the mistake he had made. The rabbit shifted from his grasp, doubled her fist tightly, and shoved it right into his midsection in a vicious gut punch. The dog yelped out and slumped forward.

Once Jeremy slumped against her slightly Karen moved her lips right to his, barely brushing them as she huffed gently, "I'm going to ruin you, Jeremy... I'm going to tear down everything you built and break you as you did me..." The rabbit cooed the words as if they were a sweet confession of love, before delivering a well-placed knee into the foxes groin.

The dog yowled out in a breathless yelp before going slack against the rabbit's shoulder. Karen sneered at his scent and weight on her and shifted to the side, letting him collapse in a heap on the ground next to her.

Karen saw Isaac walking up to them now, seeing the exchange was finished. The fox coughed slightly and groaned feeling the wolf grab his wrists and wrench them behind his back before snapping some cuff bindings onto them. "Get it out of your system?"

Karen shrugged and walked over to the wall seeing a family picture of him with his wife and children, she was also a rabbit. Karen rolled her eyes and looked over at Jeremy still on the ground panting and groaning in pain, "Guess you just got a thing for bunny's eh love?"

The dog whimpered out pitifully, "Please... I've got a family now, you don't have to do this..."

"Ah begging... because that worked so well with you back then, eh?" The rabbit crossed her arms looking at the dog on the floor and frowning.

Jeremy grunted as Isaac hauled him off the floor, he felt his knees wobble as he regained his footing and looked at the wolf then back at the rabbit, "Uh... look, I was young and stupid! I really am sorry!"

Karen shook her head walking past the fox towards the exit of the house, "Yeah I was young and stupid too... I should have never trusted you." She stepped out into the afternoon air and looked around the large yard, the two vehicles parked in it, the pool in the backyard. "I don't care if it makes me a monster, Jeremy. I really don't give two fucks what you have or you're losing."

"But I'm sorry!" The fox snapped the words out in a panic now.

"And I don't give a fuck!" Karen spat the words back sharply. "I don't give two fucks if you're an ordained minister who volunteers at the soup kitchen every day. You having a family doesn't change jack fuck!" The rabbit ground her teeth then glared at Isaac, "Say something already!"

The wolf perked his ears and shrugged, "Look fox, at least you're dealing with her and not me, I would have killed and buried you by now." He huffed the words calmly and starts pushing him towards the car.

Jeremy's panic turned to anger now seeing he wasn't getting any sympathy, "F-fuck both of you, coming in here tearing my life apart. A-and who the fuck are you even supposed to be?!" He snarled the words at the wolf, snapping his sharp teeth.

Isaac responded by flicking his padded-fingertip hard against the foxes perked black ear, eliciting a yelp from him, "I'm the dog that isn't ripping you apart right now, fox." He snarled the words as they made their way to the car and he opened the door to the backseat.

"If you kick my doors, I will cuff your footpaws down too, if you head butt anything, I'm going to cuff you to the center seat belt. If you make too much noise, I will gag you." The larger dog growled the words before shoving Jeremey into the back seat face first, "Be a good dog and make this whole thing more comfortable on yourself!"

He slammed the door and walked back over to Karen with a huff, "You okay?"

The rabbit was taping a copy of Jeremy's warrant to the front door when her wolf came up to her. "Y-yeah... I am, sorry for snapping at you."

Isaac shrugged, "Didn't bother me." The wolf looked at the warrant and huffed, "What a thing to come home to after a soccer game with your kid, eh?"

Karen shrugged, "I wouldn't know, guess you wouldn't either eh?" She huffed the words callously as she trotted back towards the car.

The wolf put his paw on her shoulder and stopped her, "Knock it off..."

Karen turned back and glared into his eyes, then felt her heart flutter at his dominant look, her gaze shifted away for a moment the anger fading as his paw found her face and pulled her to look upon him again. The rabbit blinked up seeing the dog's normal gentle eyes upon her.

"It's over... stop being so fucking prickly... okay? It's me..." Karen nodded to his words feeling a sob bubbling up before she shoved into his chest and hugged him tightly, feeling all the fear and emotions rush forth.

Isaac held her gently, petting her ears and hair lovingly while she had a quick cry into his chest. "That's right, I'm here for you, my crazy strong bunny... you can let it out now..."

It took about ten more minutes for the local police to arrive on the scene. Karen had gotten her cry out and composed herself. Isaac spoke with them and provided all the documentation for the bounty claim. The authorities were hesitant to let them go with Jeremy but Isaac quickly refuted they had no legitimate claim to stop them and threatened legal action against them. Finally, they got the clear to go.

"Well... that was fun." Isaac huffed the words taking a seat in the driver's side, Karen climbing into the passengers.

"Totally, we should do this again sometime." Karen grinned and both of them looked at one another for a long pause as if processing that statement.

"Soooo... you comfy back there, puppy?" Karen called the words out with a smug grin on her face, looking back at Jeremy with a grin. The fox glared at her but said nothing.

Isaac started the car up and pulled away from the curb starting down the road. Jeremy jerked his head back watching his house fade from sight and clenched his teeth with drooped ears.

A few moments passed before Isaac broke the silence, "I want to feel sorry for you fox, but you hurt something that was mine."

"Fuck you... you weren't even around during it." The fox hissed the words bitterly as he looked out the side window.

"Doesn't matter, the scars were still fresh when I got her. Your little bout of fun left my rabbit broken for the better part of a decade, your internal suffering can go fuck off." The wolf snarled the words angrily while driving.

"Uh... I'm right here, don't talk about me like I'm not present." Karen huffed the words planting her boot on the dash and propping her elbow on her bent knee.

Several more minutes of silence filled the car. Eventually, they pulled off the highway and to the interstate. Isaac broke the silence again speaking to the fox, "It's a six-hour trip, might as well settle down and relax. I will stop in about two hours for a pitstop, you can hit the restroom and if you've got an appetite, eat something."

"How generous of you." The fox scowled the words bitterly while staring out the window.

Isaac looked over at Karen who was staring out the side window in thought, she felt his gaze upon her and looked back at him, giving him a gentle smile. The wolf flicked his ears up, his rabbit shifting to lean against him instead. He put his arm around her possessively and held her close while he drove with his other paw.

The fox glared at the display and huffed, "So what are you two supposed to be anyway?"

Karen raised her left handpaw to show off the ring, "He is my fiance." She huffed the words proudly while nuzzling the wolf's chest.

Isaac felt his cheeks heat up at the words, he had never expected her to put the title with it, but it made his heart leap to hear it.

The fox gave a grin in the rearview at the wolf, "How does it feel to have my sloppy seconds, dog?"

Karen's ears jerked up sharply and the wolf let out a loud whistle of appreciation, "You came up with that one all on your own? It's a miracle we found you at all what with your quick wit and devious cunning!" The wolf mockingly spoke the words and held Karen tight, reassuringly.

Jeremy scowled at the words and growled as he looked out the window glaring. He pushed his head to the cold glass and closed his eyes, thoughts whirling in his mind, fury, terror, acceptance. He knew he wasn't getting out of this. It was all going to go away, his life was going to vanish as he knew it.

"It will pass," The wolf said out loud to the car.

The fox opened his eyes to look in the mirror and Isaac continued, "This will suck for you, but it will pass. It's not a game over for you. Take what you can from the lesson and be a better dog when it's all said and done."

The fox let out a bitter laugh at his pep talk and rolled his eyes, "You're the two doing this to me, assholes. Don't preach to me and give advice."

"No, you did this to yourself, Jeremy," Isaac growled the words. "You thought you got away from it and you didn't. That doesn't make it any less wrong. You did this on your own, you will pay for it, if you want to blame anyone, look in a mirror."

The fox glared at the wolf through the mirror then looked away with a growl.

"You can blame me," Karen huffed the words in a mocking voice. "You tormented me for years, ruined my life, made me cry from nightmares almost every night since it happened." The rabbit poked her head up from the front seat and stared right into the fox's eyes. "I hope you seeth and hate me every day in prison for this, Jeremy. I want you to suffer like I did!"

"Karen..." Isaac spoke her name gently but the rabbit shook her head and kept going.

"Seriously... I don't give a fuck about the higher ground. You're an awful dog and you deserve the worst. If it weren't for the fact I would lose my life with Isaac, I would have beaten you to death right in your kitchen back there. Also, live with the fact the girl you once raped... is now your better and could easily snuff out your pitiful little life." Karen hissed the words and just sat there, glaring at the fox, waiting for an answer.

Jeremy clenched his teeth and finally pulled from her hard eyes, hissing a curse under his breath. The rabbit perked her ears up and gave a grin. "Mhm... Be a good dog and sit there and shut up. If you try goading Isaac again, I will make sure the next six hours are filled with pain and agony for you, both physically and mentally."

Karen huffed in satisfaction and turned back around, leaning into her wolf once more and closing her eyes. Isaac clenched his teeth, feeling a little sorry for the fox, he had never seen such a vicious side of her, it was pretty scary and a little hot.

The next few hours were relatively quiet, Karen and Isaac chatted quietly amongst themselves, Jeremy sat in the back, brooding over his life. When they finally pulled over at a rest area Isaac hauled Jeremy out of the car and walked him to the bathroom.

It was a single-occupant stall with just a toilet and sink in it. "I'm going to uncuff you so you can go, you do anything cute and I will make sure you leave here with fewer teeth," The wolf growled the words as he uncuffed Jeremy then leaned back against the door folding his arms.

The fox rubbed his wrists feeling blood flowing back into them more normally and huffed in relief, he then blinked at the wolf who was just standing there staring, "Uh... you're not leaving the room?"

"I'm not. Get to it." Isaac huffed the words and looked impatient.

"Gee this is awkward." The fox grumbled the words as he turned away to do his business.

The wolf rolled his eyes. "Yeah yeah... Never had gym class or been to a stadium bathroom?" He huffed and averted his eyes while the dog did his thing.

"Look I'm sorry about what I said..." Jeremey huffed the words.

"You said a lot of shit man, a lot of shit I don't care about. The one you owe an apology to is Karen, not me," Isaac growled the words sounding more irritated by the second.

"Yeah, I don't see her ever forgiving me, I get that though." Jeremy shrugged and moved to the sink to wash his paws.

"Not sure I could or would either, there are some lines you just don't cross." Isaac watched him out of the corner of his eye, making sure he wasn't doing anything stupid. "You good? Turn around."

The fox clenched his teeth at the words, "Those things are killing me, do you have to keep them on?"

"Yes!" The wolf growled, "Now turn around or I will make you."

"Tch... fine, can you at least loosen them a bit?" The fox barked the words feeling them snap back into place. The wolf looked down at the foxes wrists, pulling and pushing on them, "W-what are you doing?"

"Making sure you don't show signs of socket manipulation...." The wolf huffed as he eased the tension on the cuffs slightly for the fox before dragging him out of the bathroom.

Karen gave a grin at the two of them, "You have fun in there together boys? Take any pictures?"

Isaac rolled his eyes with a grin. "Let's get back on the road."

Karen glared daggers at the fox the whole while as if hoping he would try something so she could trounce him.

Once settled again the car was back in motion and Jeremy huffed before flopping down into the seat on his side and closing his eyes. Hopefully, he could get his mind to calm down so he could grab a nap and not drag this whole scenario out.

--*--

A few hours passed and he had indeed managed to drift off, his ears would occasionally fill with the sound of a song on the radio he knew, or the quiet chatter from his two captors upfront.

"Ha... you were so cool back there... ready to step in and kick ass for me..." Karen huffed the words hotly while nuzzling at Isaac's throat while he drove.

"Ngh... You should buckle back up, Angel... it's not safe..." He growled the words and panted out while she kissed along his throat.

"You're not safe from me you mean..." Karen hissed the words and shoved her handpaw down against her wolf's crotch, rubbing at the heavy bulge within his jeans before gripping the zipper, dragging it down eagerly.

"D-damn it, Karen... you're gonna make me wreck if you do that now... ngh!" He panted the words then yips as she takes his swollen length out and grips it, pumping her handpaw eagerly up and down against it. "Ha... then you better pull over eh doggy?"

Jeremy's ears flicked as the sounds from them slowly roused him from his slumber, he blinked open his eyes while laying in the backseat, his nose could plainly smell the musk of the wolf and rabbit.

The car pulled to the side of the interstate rather quickly and went into park. His large ears jerked up as he sat up with a snarl. "Y-you're joking right?!" The fox growled out as Karen was already peeling her jeans off, showing off her curvy hips and the bright pink panties she had worn for the day.

Karen grinned at him and finished tugging her jeans away. "Oh good morning sleepy head, did we wake you?" she huffed the words while moving to climb into Isaac's lap, the wolf grabbing her rear and pulling her close.

"Y-yeah! What the fuck, can't you guys wait?!" Jeremy barked the words his cheeks darkened while watching the rabbit climb into the wolf's lap.

"Ngh... no can do, puppy... I want my dog now," Karen sighed the words hotly and pushed up to Isaac's chest, feeling his paws on her backside, her little mocha tail furiously flicking.

The wolf growled and rubbed at Karen's curvy ass while the rabbit rose up and snatched the crotch of her soaked panties, pulling them to the side, exposing her dripping wet rabbit folds. "Ha...hold still my dog," She huffed the words and gripped Isaac's chest with one paw, pushing his tip against her entrance while holding her panties to the side with the other.

The fox jerked his ears up at the display and looked away with a huff, feeling the scent of them and the scene starting to affect him. His ears jerked up again as he listened to Karen moan out softly, cutting his eyes back while she lowered herself on the wolf's length inch by inch until she pushed down fully into his lap.

The rabbit sighed gently and pushed to the wolf's chest, feeling him throb and pulse inside her, his tip crammed all the way into her, digging against her core. His paw gently rubbed her backside feeling her clench and squeeze him. Karen bit her lower lip staring up at her dog lovingly while grinding her hips in a gentle motion, "Does it feel good, my dog? Did you miss me?"

"You know I did... huff... and you always feel like heaven, my Angel..." He growled the words while squeezing her rear but letting the rabbit go at her own pace.

Karen gave a hungry grin at the fox whom was plainly staring now, "Thinking about what you missed out on love?" The rabbit sighed happily content to just grind and shift in her wolf's lap, feeling him throb in her clenching walls, his precum dripping into her from below while he obediently held still for her and rubbed her butt, his padded-fingertips brushing her flicking little black tail. "Ha... ha... I'm gonna cum my dog... no thrusting, got it?"

The wolf nodded and the rabbit grinned as she clutched his shirt and pushed hard against him, Isaac drooped his ears and hissed out while her walls clenched viciously tight, he could feel how worked up she was, her rabbit honey gushing out all over his length and into his lap. "Good boy... good boy..." The rabbit cooed the words, brushing her fingertips along Isaac's face, watching him pant for her and try to keep himself under control.

"Y-you two are... insane!" Jeremy snapped the words shifting awkwardly in the back seat while trying to pull his gaze from the scene.

"I lost my mind the day I found this rabbit... You were the insane one for hurting her and running away. She is a goddess..." Isaac huffed the words in adoration, his other handpaw moving to Karen's face, feeling it grow warm as she grinned up at him happily.

Karen gripped Isaac's wrist with one paw, her other resting on his chest while her hips began to grind harder, impatient and eager for more. She panted softly, her tongue showing and cut her eyes back to the fox in the backseat who was watching them out of the corner of his eye again. The rabbit gave a hungry grin and folded her ears, feeling another release building while she ground her wolf's cock deep within her, "You can watch Jeremy... I want you too..."

The rabbit moaned out blissfully as more of her honey poured over the wolf, she listened to him grunt and pant, feeling a knot swelling at his base while she clenched and milked him. "Ha... ha... that's a good dog... you can let it out soon I promise..." She sighed and looked over at Jeremy giving him a lustful grin, "Watch me, fox... watch us... I want you to think of this every fucking night..."

Jeremy blinked at the words and growled, "Fuck you!"

Isaac snapped his ears up and glared back before Karen cooed gently and pulled his gaze back to her. "Ha... focus on me wolf... only me..." Karen sighed hotly and clenched her walls and lolled her tongue out slightly, giving Jeremy a lewd grin, "You did once, it wasn't very good... though... I think you're wishing you could again right about now..."

The fox snarled at the words despite his body feeling warm and turned on by the scene then jerked his head away closing his eyes tightly while growling to himself.

Karen shudders feeling her grinding take its toll, another release gushing out all over her wolf's length while he dug his nails into her backside. "Ah... ha... you're a good dog, Isaac..." Karen huffs up at her wolf lovingly and slides both paws to his chest, gripping it tightly. "Ngh... go ahead wolf, finish yourself off properly as an alpha should..."

Isaac snarled at her words and both paws grabbed her hips claws digging in through her fur. Karen let out a soft throaty moan as he shoved hard up into her from below, thrusting heavy and rough up into her cervix again and again. The rabbit lolled her tongue, her nails digging into his shoulders while he pushed up and down inside her in a violent eager thrust, the shocks of the car groaning, his knot forcing it's way in and out of her entrance. "Ha! Ha! Good dog! Good dooooog!"

"This is how an alpha takes care of his mate, fox!"The wolf snarled the words proudly while thrusting up and down into Karen, the rabbit nodding her head eagerly in response. "No taking it like a coward, just pleasing her and giving her everything after the build-up!"

"Ngh! Such a drama queen, just fill me up already!" The rabbit groaned the words out in demand and the wolf gripped her hips tightly. Karen grined excitedly and felt herself viciously pulled down into his lap. She shudders as his full knot forces into her walls, his tip violently shoving into her cervix. "Ha! Good... ngh!"

She couldn't finish her praise before he gave in to her, her walls locking down upon him and milking him as a thick violent gush of fertile wolf lust pours into her womb. Karen lolled her tongue out in a satisfied moan while Isaac filled her up again and again, her womb feeling full with all the love he had for her.

The fox shivered at the sight of it, peeking out of them out of the corner of his eye trying to stare out the window and ignore the whole scene.

"Ngh! Ngh! S-so much... y-you're still... ngh!" Karen huffed and panted placing a handpaw to her stomach rubbing at it to see if he had overfilled her, her womb ached with the massive load she had milked forth. A sigh of relief coming forth when her walls finally milked the last bit into her. "Fuck Isaac... you were really into that..." She panted the words leaning back and sighing happily, feeling full and warm.

"S-sorry... got carried away..." He panted the words and the rabbit moved in to grab his collar and pull him down for a kiss. They parted their jaws rolling their tongues against one another happily while the fox turned to them and cleared his throat.

Both of them parted their lips and looked over at him with a grin, "Can we go now?! I can't believe I'm saying this but I'm very eager to go to jail and get away from you maniacs!" The fox growled the words with flushed cheeks.

"You know I can smell you, yeah Jeremy?" Karen spoke the words casually, and the fox jerked his ears up at them.

"It's true... I can as well, you've been turned on the whole time." Isaac huffed the words proudly while patting Karen's backside.

"S-shut the fuck up! I'm not!" The fox snapped the words out and growled, winning a wide grin from the two upfront.

"Okay whatever you say puppy..." Karen cooed the words and took a few moments to coo at her wolf as well, grinding upon him until his knot calmed enough, then she clenches her walls and slides off him before snapping her wet panties back into place and clambering back to the passenger side. She grabs her jeans and puts them on zipping them up grinning at the sensation of feeling so much of her wolf's love inside her still. "Ha... you filled me to the brim... I'm gonna be such a mess later..."

"Apologies my rabbit." The wolf grinned as he zipped himself back up and sits back upright in his seat.

"You are not sorry in the least!" Karen huffed the words with a grin, eliciting an eye roll from the fox behind them.

Both of them buckle and sigh in relief before the car starts back up and pulls away to finish the last half hour of the trip.

--*--

Before dropping Jeremy off they stopped by a truck stop to purchase a shower. They didn't want to arrive at the jail smelling of sex after all.

The fox seemed happy to be away from them when they finally gave custody of him over to the authorities. Karen grinned at Jeremy and blew him a kiss when he took a last look at her before disappearing behind the heavy metal door.

"Vicious..." The wolf huffed into her ears as they were walking out of the jail entrance.

The rabbit looked up at him and gave a small huff, "Are you saying I shouldn't have been?"

"Not at all. I can only imagine the torment it's going to cause him... How do you feel?" The wolf rubbed her ears gently with his left handpaw while withdrawing his cell phone with his right.

Karen thought about the words for a moment then spoke, "You know those old sayings about how revenge is a dead-end street, or will just leave you feeling empty?"

"Yeah?" The wolf perked his ears curiously.

"They are full of shit..." Karen huffed hotly under her breath, "Best day ever... I hope he suffers every day..."

Isaac whistled at the words while holding the phone up to his ear, "Yeah, it's done. Yep... Really? Well, sure if you want." He held the phone to Karen who looked at him and blinked, "Keys wants to talk to you."

The rabbit took the phone before responding "Uhm, hi?"

The voice was indistinct and she couldn't place its gender but they spoke in a fluid business-like tone, "Karen, allow me to congratulate you on a successful hunt."

"Thanks, but you and Isaac did all the work, I just kind of tagged along." The rabbit huffed the words feeling herself blush a little while she thought about it.

"Be that as it may, you were the one that stepped up and took the reins of fate, steering them yourself instead of relying on others to drive them for you." Keys spoke the words to her proudly.

Karen blinked a few times at the statement. "Reigns of fate? Okay, nerd... I think I see where Isaac is getting these lines from!"

There was a long moment of silence on the phone and the wolf looked a little upset and worried over the words, finally, a soft laugh came from the other side. "I can see why he likes you, I suppose I am a bit of a nerd, yes."

Karen grinned and stepped away a few paces flicking her tail. "I'm not serious, I do lots of nerdy things myself... So... what's up, Keys?"

The rabbit felt her ears fill with typing and she huffed her impatience after a few moments before Keys responded, "Apologies, Karen. I tend to be multitasking on several levels at all times."

"Sounds like my job, a pain in the ass." The rabbit nods in understanding walking back over towards Isaac.

"Ah jobs... The reason I wanted to speak to you. I've got a lead on a little birdie that flew the coop after posting their bail. If you and Isaac want to go bring him in, I can offer you sixty percent." Keys spoke the words in an all-business tone.

Karen's ears flicked up at the words and she looked over at Isaac, "Sixty? We would be doing the actual dangerous stuff, I'm gonna want at least seventy." The wolf slacked his jaw in shock at her words.

"Ha... sixty is more than generous since you're new, Karen. However, I like your confidence. Get him within three days, and I will give you seventy, any longer than that, I give you sixty. How's that?" Keys voice sounded genuinely amused at this point.

"I can agree to that, so long as it's not impossible to do within three days." The rabbit nodded while pacing back and forth in front of her wolf.

"Not at all, this isn't some underhanded tactic to keep my original quote. An experienced team could pull it off in two days tops. You pull it off in three and it shows you're competent enough to be paid like such." Karen listened to the words and nodded.

"Sounds good, You've got a deal. I will talk to Isaac about it." She spoke the words confidently and gave the wolf a grin who still was looking at her dumbstruck.

"Wonderful, I will text you and him the details after we finish this call." Keys chirped the words sounding pleased with the exchange.

"Cool my number-"

"I have it already. I will be in touch, Karen." The call disconnected and the rabbit blinked before pulling the phone back and handing it to Isaac.

"Why does Keys have my number?" She asked the dog curiously.

"Uh... Keys pretty much can find whatever they want. I didn't give it to them if that's what you're wondering."

Karen shruged then gave the wolf a wide grin. "Looks like we've got more work."

Isaac huffed and put his paws on his hips cocking a brow and ear, "I surmised that... Just decided for both of us eh?"

"Yep!" The rabbit cooed the reply with a grin before moving up and grabbing the wolf by the collar and dragging him down to shove her muzzle to his own, kissing him.

Isaac huffed against her lips and like usual followed the kiss up by grabbing her backside and pulling her against him. Several moments passed before Karen pulled away from his lips but stayed pressed to him, grinning while she felt him rubbing at her butt.

"Are you sore I agreed without asking you?" She spoke the words playfully, resting her paws gently on his shoulders.

"Not as sore as you're going to be when I get you in bed later..." The wolf growled the words, patting the rabbit's butt hard. Karen squeaked out from the pat and grinned at him eagerly.

He grinned at her and shook his head slowly. "I'm not upset, it sounds fun... Just no having sex in front of everyone we drag in, okay?"

The rabbit laughed and pulled away from the wolf before grabbing his wrist and pulling him to the car, eager to get home to bed so he could make good on his promise. "No worries, that was a special service for Jeremy, I won't make a habit of it."

Isaac grinned and wagged his tail before pacing up with the rabbit so she wouldn't have to pull him. Karen looked at the wolf and smiled before gripping his handpaw tightly, the two of them walking together paw in paw to go back to their home together.

--*--

It took almost half a year to settle the trial with Jeremy. When all was said and done, the judge ordered him to serve a maximum of five years in prison but he could get out as early as two years for good behavior. It was a very lenient sentence since he had no other criminal record. Surprisingly enough his wife stuck it out with him and said she would support the fox through the ordeal. Karen was satisfied enough with the outcome and found peace of mind with it all.

Isaac had Karen move in with him shortly after they brought Jeremy in, she ended up leaving her coffee shop job to work with Isaac both as a fellow investigator and as a bonding agent. She kept her friendship with Ivory and Crystal though and still would meet up with them from time to time.

"It's probably going to be another hour or two, yet." Isaac spoke the words while running his paw through Karen's chocolate hair, brushing his padded-fingertips over her mocha ears, her head resting in his lap.

They were about three hours from home sitting in a parking lot across from a small travel motel. Karen had been sitting in the driver's seat but had opted to flop over and lay her head into her wolf's lap.

"More time for us to relax then." The rabbit grinned up at her dog from his lap feeling him pet her and her eyelids get heavy.

The wolf nodded and kept stroking her head gently, "Rest a little, for now, Angel... You drove the whole way, I will wake you up if our guy shows early."

The bunny nodded in response and closed her eyes, happy to have the respite. It had been over a year since they met on that cold spring night now, and it seemed like a lifetime ago.

It didn't take Karen long to drift off to sleep and Isaac just sat there listening to the radio play faintly in the car, his ears flicking in time to his rabbit's soft breathing while she slept. "That's right, just rest... I will protect you and keep you safe..."

Karen's left handpaw rested on her stomach while she slept and Isaac moved his own left one over hers, gripping it gently while his right stroked her hair. Each of their paws still had the silver rings upon them with the gemstones, but they both now wore matching silver bands next to those on the same finger. "My rabbit... my wife... my everything..."

Karen gave a grin while laying there, her ears flicking at his words before she huffed softly, "My husband is such a mushy dog..."
