Guarded - Stardust Horizon Ep11
Welcome back, my lovely reader!
So, our trio of popstars got their first night together in the flesh and fur, but what about after that? Will they still sync up now that they’ve gotten the pent-up sex out of their systems?
As you know, this tale isn’t just about Leo, Flia, and Tracey anymore, so don’t think I’ll just tuck our other couple to the side as a finished plot point or something.
A little glitz, a little glam, and a little payback, all wrapped in some romance! This episode will be sweet, sappy, and smutty, so without further delay…

Episode 11:
Someday
“Maybe someday we’ll live our lives out loud.
We’ll be better off somehow, someday.”
The opening act had cleared the stage a few minutes ago and the stock music slowly faded as the crowd started cheering when the lights went down. Time seemed to grind to a halt as nothing happened, the crowd calming their cheers to a hush before a lone silhouette strode forward to the stage in the darkness, the enthusiasm resuming.
Cheers continued to pour forth even as the figure just stood there, eventually calming once more, then a collective murmur again as a thick flicking tail could be seen, showing that was no deer up on stage like they’d come to see, but there wasn’t a lot of time to react to the confusion as the spotlights clapped on loudly.
She stood there with one hand pushed into her hair, a smug wide grin showing, sharp teeth flashing in the light, her glorious white tail shining with glitter and attached sequins. Her hair was down instead of in the twin tails she normally wore, with her outfit having been altered to look more akin to Flia’s own style.
Ruby Thunder pushed a hand through her hair with a flourish as she took a few steps forward, her heels clicking, and her large breasts bouncing slightly in the top that was much more revealing than she’d normally wear on her own stage. The side of the dress split to show one leg fully and came all the way up to her hip to even show part of the scar through her white stockings along with the strap of the thong she wore on her hip.
“I know Flia wedged my track down a spot, but I’d like to think at least some of you would recognize me,” She held her hand out, crimson nails glittering in the stage light as the crowd finally processed that she was the real deal, the cheers and screams quickly starting to intensify the air.
“You mean… our track, love?” The voice rang out and the place just exploded with screams as the second half of the duo appeared. Leo strutted out on the stage, his outfit harkening back to the very first one he wore when he backup sang for Flia.
The two idols grinned at one another, not bothering to try to talk as the roars and cheers would have drowned them out, both just clasping hands together for a moment to let the crowd process what was happening.
“I know you all came here to see, Flia-” Tracey cooed out melodically.
“But we’ll be starting this party tonight!” Leo declared as he thrust his finger to the crowd, the lights on the rest of the stage clapping on to show it was their band set up to the side, not Flia’s.
The place shook as James threw down the opening of Neon Stars before Leo and Tracey opened with their starting song as if it were their own show. Neil kept the drums in perfect time to James’ synth while Max and Trixie coordinated with their own members for the opening.
“Let’s go babies! Lights to the left, shift to a more opaque color to catch Blue’s jewelry!” Max squeaked out while bouncing and whipping his tail to the beat.
“Lasers are half a clip behind, get it together Jill, or I’m clawing your ears off when we finish!” Trixie snarled as she paced over to the laser control panel, her pink tail flicking to the music.
“And I’ll keep holding on! Because your love keeps me strong~” Leo and Tracey sang in unison, pushed together in a dance before pushing apart to pose while carrying high notes for the roaring crowd.
The audience never would have noticed the mistimed lasers that quickly got sorted after a fussing llama helped get them adjusted.
As the song faded with Leo and Tracey pushed together in a dance right at the center of the stage, they broke from one another with a synchronized flourish as their hands opened. The fade seemed to slowly cut into a more familiar tune to the audience as one of Flia’s own songs began to cut in.
The spotlights snapped into place between Blue and Ruby as Flia strutted out onto the stage like a queen entering a royal ball, the place screaming as the lights hit the other side of the stage, showing her own band now starting.
Flia raked her hands through her glittering blonde-pink hair before showing a cocky smug grin to Leo, then shot her gaze to Tracey, both of them giving her grins of their own.
“The moon is rising and the neon is burning~” The doe sang melodically as her band started overpowering the fading outro of the other one.
“Give me more of a beat!” Flia sang out with a haughty diva tone as she snapped her finger, her drummer cranking it out while her keyboardist added the deep synthetic beat she demanded.
“Not good enough, I need more tonight!” She sighed melodically before snapping her other fingers on her opposite hand as the lights snapped onto the other band, Neil and James synching up with her own guys to double the rhythm.
“Ha~ That’s more like it!” Flia strutted over to Electric Blue and cupped his jaw, pushing close as she cooed out, “Thanks for coming, Blue, now let the real stars get to work and take five,” She playfully pushed him back, Leo feigning shock in his stance as Flia moved over to Ruby.
“Flia Price and Ruby Thunder has a lovely ring, yes?” Flia cooed out as the wolf strutted to meet her at the center of the stage, both girls clasping hands.
“So long as my name is first on the marquee~” Tracey sang as they pushed together in a dance.
“You can take the marquee, but I’ll keep you just for me~” Flia sang lovingly, hearts showing in her blue eyes for Tracey as they pulled from the dance to open the duet.
After the opening chorus, Electric Blue strutted over, a forced snarl showing as he stepped between the two idols, his ears perked. “I worked hard to break that wolf in, you’re not just taking her!”
“Oh ho… Well since I made you, I guess that means I’ll take both since what’s yours is mine~” Flia countered in a playful musical tone while the audience cheered and screamed. Of course, any Flia Price fan knew EB got his start with her, and rumors had been plentiful over the love songs they wrote for one another.
Blue gave a fussy bleat, “Now hang on-”
“Sounds good to me!” Tracey barked out and pushed up to Flia’s back, her hands brushing over the other idol’s hips in a close sensual touch, her crotch pressed up to the doe’s flicking tail on her rear.
The audience gave eager cheers and even catcalled playfully at the display. Flia turned and pulled Tracey to her chest, their breasts squeezing together as she took a step back, bumping into Electric Blue’s chest.
“Guess that’s how it is, popstar, not going to go against what your wolf wants, are you?” Flia sighed dramatically as she lifted one hand up to cup his jaw while leaning into his chest, Tracey pushed up to her but grinning up at Leo.
“Damn, you two are so hot…” He huffed out in a flat tone of voice, not even carrying the tune as both girls giggled.
“Get it together, popstar, you’re fucking up the choreography!” Flia laughed as the audience roared while the tune started to circle back around to the next lyrics, having been holding the nonstop beat until the scene played out.
“Fine, but my name is first on the marquee!” Leo declared as he strutted up to the head of the stage, opening the lyrics to the next portion on his own, his full range coming to bear as the audience cheered and several swooned eagerly as he drew finger guns at them while holding the note.
—*—
“That was so much fun with you two!” Flia cheered out while panting and heaving, dripping with sweat as the trio moved off stage after their second encore.
“It really was… huff…” Leo was panting as well, wiping sweat from his brow.
“I was worried if we’d synch up, but that was so good, it felt…” Tracey smiled as the other two looked at her.
“It felt riiight?” Leo and Flia cooed together in time.
“Gods, that’s creepy, let’s not synch up THAT much, you two!” Tracey barked a laugh as she pushed between the two of them to move to the post-concert meetup in the conference room of the venue.
Hilde stepped over to James as he was unpacking his rig, the wolf moving right in to kiss his lips. The corgi was happy to oblige, feeling her rub one of his perky ears, his dark locks dripping with sweat.
“You did amazing tonight, sweetie… The synch-up with Flia’s band was perfect by you and Neil!” She barked out, sounding proud.
“T-thanks babe! I was worried about it, but that switch just flipped and the next thing I knew, I was dialed in!” His ears folded as he put a hand on her hip. “You… doing okay?” He didn’t say it, but seeing the trio in such proximity, watching Tracey interact like that with Flia, he knew it would have been tough for her.
“Y-you know what? I am, yes.” Hilde nodded and stepped into his arms, throwing hers around his neck. “I honestly found myself watching you more and listening to your synth… I was so proud of how you cut and shifted your drip into the other band’s flow…”
“Hilde…” James whispered and leaned into her, nuzzling at her throat, kissing along it gently as he held her closer, both their bodies heated and sweaty from the show. She pushed her face into his damp hair, just taking in his scent and warmth.
“Can I finish busting my kit down before you guys start making out?” Neil laughed as he walked up to collect more of his rig he was slowly breaking down.
“Heh! Sorry, Neil!” Hilde barked playfully as she reluctantly pulled back.
“He’s just butt hurt because he never gets any!” James catcalled out playfully.
“Fuck you, J! I got some just a while back actually if you must know, I’m even still texting the bitch,” Neil showed his sharp teeth, sounding smug as he pulled his drumsticks out, spinning them about in his paws casually.
“Whoa, really? When did this happen, Neil?” Hilde asked curiously.
“Yeah, why didn’t you tell me about it, man? I thought we were tight!” James legitimately sounded hurt he didn’t get the gossip.
The otter gave a shrug and smiled sadly. “It went down about the time you guys were hitting the rocks, officially between shows with that other idol group, Cream and Mocha,” he explained apologetically.
James perked his ears. “Wait- You were off with a groupie or some shit while I was all writhing about-”
“Fuck you, J!” Neil laughed out. “First off she wasn’t a groupie, had never even heard of me actually. Second off, you think a guy my age is going to pass up something like that? If anything it gave me the motivation to help you more!”
“Not a groupie? We didn’t have much downtime then, who was it?” Hilde asked, then perked her ears and stepped over to the otter, pushing his shoulder. “Hang on… Was it that persian cat that was talking to you quite a bit after the second show?!”
Neil gave her a crooked grin across his muzzle and tapped his finger on his own nose. Hilde just barked out a laugh as she walked back over to James. “Dude, you banged those idol’s manager? That’s great!” She said with a giggle.
“Oh, you mean the girl that was Tracey’s age with that nice round-” James bit his tongue as he looked over at Hilde before he got himself into any trouble.
“Yeah, she had a hell of an ass, sweetie, I’m not going to be upset about you saying that. I’ve got a bigger rack anyway and you’re a chest guy, right?” Hilde flicked her tail and pushed up to him playfully.
“I’m an everything guy when it comes to you, babe… all of you is perfect and sexy…” He growled and stole a few kisses.
Neil made a playful gagging motion with his finger and collected more of his rig, smacking James in the back with his thick heavy tail to make the corgi stumble against Hilde. “Go get a room you two!” He called out playfully.
—*—
After getting the all-clear from her manager, Flia climbed from the back of the unassuming car to look around the dark boulevard of closed shops. A moment later Tracey and Leo were beside her as they got out.
“You sure this place was legit, baby?” Tracey asked but as soon as she finished the question, the lights flicked on to the small storefront before them before the door opened right up, an excited girl trotting out that looked like she would have been Flia’s age.
“Oh, my gods! I half thought it was a joke, but here you are!” She trotted over, her own heels clicking on the sidewalk as Flia approached her. The storekeeper looked to be a deer like Flia, her outfit looking meticulous with excessive blush and glitter.
“Naturally.” Flia ran her fingers through her blonde-pink hair and flashed a grin at the other deer before her.
“Thank you for making an exception for us, love,” Leo said in his idol voice even though he was dressed in jeans and a t-shirt now.
“I should thank you! I’ve been a huge fan of both of your groups. I’ve followed Flia since I was in high school! Gods, I think your outfits were one of the things that got me into fashion to begin with!” She sighed out dreamily before lifting her ears and hastily holding the door open.
“I’m honored to hear that, darling. Rest assured I’ll make it worth the trouble. I may be a sellout to the big labels, but I always prefer supporting independent businesses over the big ones.” Flia strutted in, her hand grasping Tracey’s wrist as she pulled her right to the swimwear section.
“Ah, I’ll try not to crowd you, but please let me know if you need anything or have questions!” The store owner said cheerfully as she threw the lock back on the door, the closed sign still turned.
“Perks of being famous eh? Stores stay open for you?” Tracey mused as Flia pulled her along.
“Millia my manager arranged it at my request. It was refreshing to find a fan that was willing, not to mention she’ll be paid well and I’ll even be throwing my weight behind her brand if we like the quality, so it’s not simply charity,” The doe explained simply as she looked through the display of swimwear, then held up a two-piece that was light purple.
“Go try this one on, love!” Flia declared as Tracey gave the skimpy top a glare.
“I don’t think I’ll fit in that, Flia, my tits aren’t small enough,” The wolf said dryly.
“Oh nonsense, come on!” She hooked an arm with Tracey’s and bodily pulled her into the changing room with an armful of various designs to try on.
Leo rubbed the back of his head, standing there awkwardly in the mostly empty store, listening to his lover's giggle and fuss in the changing room, his tail flicking at the playful growls he was hearing from Tracey.
“So I have to ask… Are all of you like… a thing now?” The shop owner asked curiously, showing an eager grin.
Leo rubbed the back of his head again. “Uh… I’m not sure if I should gossip about-”
“Yes! But keep it to yourself, love!” Flia poked her head out of the dressing room to respond then pulled the curtain back to.
“Wow! I was at the concert tonight and a lot of people said it was staged, but it felt so real, like when you and Ruby did your dance together and kissed!” She exclaimed with a grin.
“You really are a fan if you’re recalling that. Yeah, like Flia said, we’re all together.” He nodded as he looked towards the changing room.
“Lucky you, eh?” She giggled playfully.
“H-Hey, come on, I’m a superstar too, maybe it’s lucky them!” Leo bleated out playfully and pushed a hand to his chest, showing her a smug grin. Tracey just barked a laugh out of the dressing room at him as Leo frowned.
“I’ll never forget that dance you had with her on stage. I didn’t get to be at that show, but I must have watched the replay of it a dozen times! Gods, that was so romantic!” The deer sighed dreamily as she put a hand to her cheek.
“I’m glad it left such a good impression on you! Me and Tracey just want to leave our fans full of love when all is said and done!” He gave her a grin, then shifted his attention to the girls as they came out.
“So, what do you think?” Flia tucked an arm behind her head, giving a grin as she posed for the ram. She wore a skimpy matching two-piece of pink and purple. The top cupped her ample breasts, even digging in slightly to make her darker flesh puff out against the fabric slightly.
“I’m not going to be doing any running or fighting in this thing, that’s for sure…” Tracey muttered as she gave her own pose, a similar purple and pink one, but having larger breasts than the doe, her chest just bulged into the thin fabric, her softer hips looking larger in the skimpy bottom of the swimsuit.
“Oh, my gods! I can’t believe you both are in my swimsuits, you two look amazing, don’t they, Leo?” The shopkeeper said as she grinned back at the ram who looked stunned.
“Whoa… Yeah, you two look so hot!” Leo bleated out with a shameless grin on his face.
“Naturally,” Flia gave him a smug grin as she held the pose.
“Glad you approve, hon.” Tracey hummed as she positioned herself to bend forward slightly, letting her ram get a good look at the ample swells of her cleavage in the scraps of swimsuit.
“I’ll take this one along with the same style in three other colors, I’ll also need some matching shawls for my lover here, she doesn’t always want to show off those sexy scars after all!” Flia declared proudly as Tracey gave her a grin and wagged her tail.
“So, if you’re willing to drive a few hours, how about tickets to tomorrow's show on us? You can even come backstage and meet the rest of our bands?” Leo said with a grin at the shopkeeper.
“Seriously?! I’d drive days to see you guys again!” She exclaimed happily while already putting together the various swimsuits for them.
“There you go reading my mind again, popstar!” Flia cooed and then walked over to clasp the other deer’s hands. “Hey, thanks for being a good sport and helping us out, we’ve got a tight schedule and I didn’t want to shop the day of for our little hot springs date.”
“Oh, I was thrilled to do it for all of you!” The other deer gave her a dreamy grin as they held hands, then hesitantly pulled away to finish packing up the clothing.
“I’m still not used to this, just feels like yesterday I was a broody bitch working a job to get through my life as quickly as I could, but here I am,” Tracey mused as she looked herself over in the standing mirror, seeing the large torn scars on her shoulder and thigh.
“You’ve changed a lot, love, but I think it’s for the better, you seem happier now.” Leo moved over to grasp her shoulder, leaning down to kiss her cheek.
“Tracey, I’m no Leo, but I hope someday I can also bring you the happiness he’s managed to bring us. I’ll make sure your life is a good one from now on, both of you! No more tears, no more regrets, let’s just hold hands and walk together from now on?” Flia moved over to slide her hand down to clasp Tracey’s, both her lovers now pushing close to her.
“Look at you two, I’m trying to have an emo moment here and you bust it up!” She barked out lovingly as the ram and deer just nuzzled and kissed on her cheeks and held her, the other deer in the room giving the trio an adoring grin at the earnest display of affection while she gathered things.
—*—
“So we really going to do this?” Flia asked backstage in the dressing room with her two lovers. She was fully in her idol getup, but this time her outfit had been tailored to match Leo and Tracey’s style since it was their show.
“So long as you think your keyboard guy can handle it?” Tracey lifted her ears while grinning.
“Oh, Harv will be fine. We’re not tight like you guys are with James, but he’s a wizard on synth, I’ve no doubt about that!” Flia declared, looking supremely confident in her band member.
“Then we’ll be all gold!” Leo declared as his hands rested on his hips.
“I’m not sure about this, Leo baby… It could go wrong pretty spectacularly!” Maximilian said with a frown while standing there in his purple suit.
“The other times weren’t even planned and went fine, don’t worry so much, Max!” Trixie said with a grin as she stood there in her own bubblegum pink suit.
“I’m of the mindset of Max in this regard, I’d rather we have a fully scripted and perfect show, not some fly-by-the-seat-of-our-pants situations!” Millia offered her own protests as she pushed her glasses up on her nose.
“It’s a wonder we get anywhere with these sticks in the mud, eh Flia?” Leo said with a grin, Maximilian giving him a fussy look.
“Max I’m fucking with you, I love you man and I know you just worry about what’s best for me, come on, don’t give me that look!” Leo threw an arm around his oldest friend, hugging him up.
“I- I know, I just worry Leonard… I’m sure it will be fine,” Maximilian stammered out awkwardly in the hug.
“Am I really a stick in the mud, Flia?” Millia said with a frown.
Flia grinned at her own manager. “Just a little on the straight and narrow, but you’re fine, Millia. I appreciate you and wouldn’t have gotten through all of this without your support. I know it’s risky, but we’re all about taking chances in this industry, it’s the only way to stay viable!”
“It’ll be fine, and it’ll work! The audience will love it and we’ll get a little payback!” Tracey barked out cheerfully as she pushed her twin tails back and strutted out of the dressing room.
“I sure hope so, Tracey baby!” Max squeaked out then threw his hand up. “Let’s go, Leo baby!”
“Right behind you, Max!” Leo said eagerly as he gave Flia a loving grin before exiting the room.
“This is a mess…” Millia said simply as she looked up at the doe, pushing her glasses up again.
“It is, and I love it… Everything feels right with them and I’ll happily make a mess of things if it keeps me with them!” Flia showed the cat a crooked little grin as she ran her fingers through her own hair.
“You’re not holding back, are you sweetie?” Millia tilted her head as she clutched her tablet to her chest.
“Holding back almost cost me the love of my life… I’ve lucked out thanks to Jake and you, but I won’t be hiding from things anymore!” Flia snarled as her blue eyes focused and she rolled her shoulder a few times.
Millia smiled at her and shook her head. “You’re at your best when your passion is dialed up. If we burn, we’ll burn together, now get out there, diva, I’ve got your back.”
Flia gave her a smile and then nodded before spinning on her heel to strut out to the stage.
Just like with the prior performance, Flia crashed the opening to everyone’s surprise, but then again, several members of the audience had probably suspected it, as the social media buzz from last night's show with her had given everyone ample time to expect it.
Maximilian gave his two idols their token fist bumps before they entered after that, the show started in earnest with the whole group and both their bands.
They had reached a little past the halfway point, everyone was in their groove and the audience was thrilled with the treat of getting two different idol acts for the price of one, but things were about to get a little more interesting.
“Phew… you having a good time out there, loves?!” Leo yelled out as he strutted to the head of the stage. The crowd of course screamed their adoration to his question.
“They better be, Flia Price doesn’t just team up with anyone,” The haughty little doe said as she strutted up and pointed out toward the throng of fans. “But I’m sure you’re happy to have me here tonight as well, yes my loves?” Naturally, the building shook with the cheers and roars.
Hilde watched Tracey not bother interacting but going over towards Flia’s band which was curious. That wasn’t part of the act and left her concerned. The wolf was talking to their keyboard guy and even James was looking over with a frown on his face. Did she like his synth better and was complimenting him?
“Whoa!” Hilde barked out as she snapped to attention, catching someone starting to climb the stage, seeing a gap in security they had left open. Her tail fluffed up and she clenched her fists in her fingerless gloves. She didn’t want to interrupt things but she couldn’t let them barge in on the performance either.
Seeing the venue security wasn’t going to get there in time, she composed herself and fluffed out her jacket before stomping right out to intercept the eager fan who had managed to actually finish the climb up onto the stage. She had made this sort of appearance a few times but not as often as Tracey had. Still, the crowd's attention shifted to her and even cheered as the band’s younger ‘doggy guard’ stomped onto stage.
“Oh?” Leo tilted his head as he spoke out on the live feed, seeing Hilde stomp out as the fan stood there waiting for her approach.
“Okay jerk-face, you should know better!” She spat out, bearing her sharp teeth and flexing her hand. The fan, a young boy just gave her a grin, shot her a peace sign, and jumped back off the stage in retreat.
“Uh…” Hilde flattened her ears, feeling very exposed all of a sudden as she was out there for no reason with everyone looking upon her. Was the asshole just trying to bait her out to make a fool of her?
“Thanks, love, owe you one, kisses!” Flia cooed out as she slunk right over to the backpedaling wolf that was trying to exit the stage. “Come here, sweetheart,” Flia cooed as she threw an arm right around the young bodyguard and guided her further up to the front.
“Wait- What?!” Hilde barked out, sounding panicked as she was brought before the whole front of the stage by the idol she hardly knew, her eyes wide at the sea of people roaring for her, a brief flashback to that night she had met Tracey.
“What the hell is going on?!” James stammered out as he rose from his deck, his own teeth showing.
“Put this on, loverboy,” Trixie said coolly as she walked over to James with a headset that had a mic on it.
“W-what?!” James fumbled with the rig and the llama just gave him an annoyed look.
“Just put it on stupid or you’re fired!” She hissed out with a glare. James snarled at her but fumbled before putting it on.
Tracey was there on top of him as if on cue as she snatched his arm up and guided him away from his rig right as the next song started up, but it wasn’t his synth leading into it, it was the other band’s guy doing it.
“Hang-the-fuck-on! What the hell!?” James barked out as Tracey just flashed her teeth in a grin and pulled him to the front.
Hilde blinked wide shocked eyes at James, the look on her face saying she was just as surprised, both of their tails stiff and rigid as the intro to True Blue Avenue started.
“Come on, James… Follow my lead, just like when we sing your song…” Tracey wagged her finger in time to the opening, lyrics just moments from arriving.
“T-Tracey! I can’t-” He bit his lower lip as the wolf glared at him and snapped a finger.
“Sing doggy!” She snarled out, his mic clicking and going live as the lyrics arrived. Hilde was getting similar coaching from Flia and Leo both, shaking her head, having gotten her own headpiece apparently in all the confusion.
The three idols all opened with the lyrics, their own more skilled tone matching with the awkward stammering lyrics of the keyboardist and bodyguard that had been pulled on stage. Satisfied he was singing, Tracey moved over to her protege with a flourish and scooped the smaller wolf up in a slow dance like that night.
“Sing with me now, kid…” She cooed out as she led Hilde just like she did that fateful night. The younger wolf flattened her ears at the ‘kid’ statement but nodded and awkwardly sang along. Of course, she’d sang all these songs so many times, it was a simple matter of knowing the words, but another to perform them.
Flia pulled James over to her as she drew him into a dance as well, the corgi’s tail wagging awkwardly at the close proximity of the deer he’d actually fantasized about when he was younger. The doe coolly held the lyrics as one of her hands shoved to his jaw, lifting it to look her in the eyes and stop staring at her sweaty cleavage, giving him a wink as he gulped but nodded as he sang.
Once the opening lyrics were over and the synth took over for a few moments, all five of them heard Max call out on the feed. “Mic one through three going offline in three, two…”
Tracey flashed her teeth at Hilde who gave her a shocked look before she flourished a spin and practically launched her bodyguard forward. Flia did similar to James, both of them stumbling before they stopped short of one another.
James blinked as he looked upon her, Hilde also looking stunned at what had happened, both of their headsets the only ones live. Tracey glared at the corgi behind Hilde and rolled her hand before stepping off the stage.
He gulped hard and then nodded before pushing forward and taking Hilde into his arms. She gave a cute little yip as he embraced her right there on stage but pushed closer, her own arms wrapping around his neck.
“Focus you two, remember the lyrics!” Trixie said into the live feed only they could hear.
“T-this dance… was all I ever wanted…” James stammered out, trying to hold the tune as best he could.
Hilde shivered and drew closer to him, pushing her forehead to his own, her hand moving up to brush into his damp hair, her own hair under the knit cap. “Time will stop for us… Just hold me and let's dance…”
“Payback for last time, bitch!” Tracey barked out loud as she clenched her fist and thrashed her tail with a grin.
“You’re such a romantic, love!” Flia giggled out as she hugged one of her arms.
“She really is, but she won’t admit it!” Leo cooed as he hugged her other arm, Tracey showing them both a lopsided grin.
“Your singing has gotten better…” Hilde whispered to him as they danced, a brief break from the lyrics for the next round of beat and synth.
“Thanks, babe, it’s all because of you… everything is because of you… Will you sing with me more often, Hilde?” He asked while looking up slightly into her bright green eyes, seeing the tears in her gaze.
“Anytime… I’ll never be as good as Ruby, but I’ll sing for you happily, James…” Hilde pushed closer, their lips lingering near each other as they spoke, the whole audience hearing the intimate conversation.
“I want your hand in mine, as we walk together down this blue avenue…” They whispered the last of the lyrics while still slowly dancing as they held one another, their lips brushing one another before they finally drew into a deep kiss, the crowd roaring approval.
“Hum… it’s not bad, I’d give them a B minus,” Tracey said playfully as she folded her arms.
“They were so cute… Oh, it was adorable…” Millia sighed and pushed a hand to her chest with a grin on her face.
“Let’s get back up there before they start ripping their clothes off and make this a mature show!” Leo laughed as he started back onto the stage.
“Come on, love!” Flia cooed as she took Tracey’s hand, pulling her along as the three idols returned.
“Hm hm… a little impromptu performance from our synth master and head of security, even they didn’t know they were doing it! What’d you think loves?!” Leo threw his arms out, the crowd roaring their approval at the romantic display they’d just witnessed.
“What did you think, kid?” Tracey put a hand on her hip, giving Hilde a playful grin.
“I think you’re a bitch, and don’t call me kid!” Hilde barked back with a laugh, the audience laughing as well.
“Dude! How could you do that to me with no warning!” James snarled at Leo and playfully shoved his shoulder.
“We sacrifice for the fans, James! You’ll thank me when you’re selling out shows of your own at EDM concerts in a few!” Blue gave his keyboard guy a wink and some finger guns.
“Yes yes, very cute, now you two scoot on off stage so I can finish the performance with my ram and wolf!” Flia said in her haughty diva tone as she moved over to give Hilde a quick kiss on her cheek, then did the same for James.
“Let’s hear it for our unwitting performers, loves!” Leo called out as Hilde stuck her tongue out at him and James just flipped him off before moving back to his deck, pushing his hands through his hair to compose his pounding heart.
“You guys suck!” Hilde shouted as she barged into the post-concert meeting, glaring at all three idols and their managers.
“Yeah! Super suck!” James barked out as he followed her in with a huff.
All three of the idols just laughed before Tracey showed her teeth in a grin and leaned back on the table. “You loved it, Hilde, I could see the hearts in your eyes from the side of the stage!”
“Yeah doggy, I could tell you liked it once you got your eyes off my tits,” Flia cooed as she raked her nails through her soaked hair.
“Mmm…” Hilde just growled and pursed her lips, her cheeks looking flushed.
“Tch…” James looked away as he clicked his tongue, his own cheeks darker.
“It’s fine you two, the audience loved it, and you needed that little shock practice for later, James! Heck, maybe Hilde could sing some of the lyrics in your future tracks!” Leo laughed as he leaned there on the table.
“Ha! As if I’d ever leave this band!” James fired back with a grin.
“No? You don’t gotta leave the band to pursue your own solo shit, James. Lots of guys do it.” Flia cocked a brow as she explained.
“T-that’s true…” The corgi frowned and looked down at his boots. “Still, I’d not want to ask Hilde such-”
“I’d stay with you, sweetie. I mean while the main band wasn’t on tour, Tracey and Leo wouldn’t need me during the off time, right?” Hilde said as she pushed close to him, surprised by her own words.
“That’s true, I’d beat the stuffing out of anyone that tried to mess with Leo or Flia, on or off the stage,” Tracey growled and flexed her arms dramatically with a grin.
Flia giggled and pushed closer to Tracey. “You’re so cute, love!”
“I love seeing you so lighthearted and playful these days, hon…” Leo smiled as he looked over at the wolf that just a few years ago would have never been like this.
“Babe… would you really come with me if I tried to make my own album and even did a few shows while the band wasn’t recording or touring?” James blushed as he fully focused on Hilde as if they were the only ones in the room.
“I- I think I would, yeah! I like hanging out with you, and I’d even practice my singing to maybe do background lyrics for your synth, but even if I couldn’t do that, I’d be happy to just be there with you, to watch you thrive!” Hilde barked out as she held his hands with her own.
“Gross, I’m gonna be sick… James, you hurt Hilde again after all this mushy bullshit you’ve inflicted upon me, I’ll kill you myself, to hell with Tracey or Leo!” Trixie snarled and flexed her fist, glaring playfully at the corgi.
“Heh, I hear you, Trixie, and no way in hell! Never again…” He cupped Hilde’s cheek and pushed his forehead to her own. “Never ever again… I swear it…”
“Jeeze… you’re gonna make me cry, sweetie…” Hilde sighed as she pushed close, nuzzling at his jaw while taking in his scent and warmth.
“Cool, go cry in the dressing room or something, we need to finish the wrap-up. We’re in a hotel tonight so you two will have lots of time to sort your feelings out!” Flia cooed playfully as she waved her hand to shoo them along with a playful grin.
“Hmph… I guess I’ll thank you then, this wasn’t too bad…” Hilde poked her nose up as she looked them over before grasping James’ wrist and dragging him out with a yip.
“Anyone wanna take bets on them not using that couch in the dressing room?” Maximilian said with a chuckle.
“I’m not throwing my money away on those long odds!” Flia giggled.
—*—
“Whoa!” Hilde yipped with a little giggle as James hauled her off her feet and pushed her down to the sofa in the dressing room, a loud eager growl rumbling in his throat.
“You were so beautiful, sexy, and perfect on that stage… Then what you said in the post-concert meeting… Gods… I love you so much, Hilde…” He growled the words against her throat, kissing it while she felt his hands rubbing at her breasts through her shirt, squeezing them before shifting to work open her jeans.
“Hgn… you’re being so aggressive…” She offered up her own approving growl, not resisting as he leaned back to snatch open her jeans, then eagerly peel them down to her knees along with her panties, not even bothering to remove her boots.
“Can you at least let me get my boots off first, sweetie?” Hilde gave him a smug grin, but then huffed as her ears flattened, feeling him push her knees up and spread her thighs just enough to show off the soaked petals that her wet panties had been hiding.
“No… and damn… You got really worked up on stage didn’t you?” He growled with hearts in his eyes as he quickly moved to part his own jeans, tugging his swollen jumping length from his boxers, the tapered tip dripping eagerly for his bitch laid out before him.
“Ha… adrenaline junkie, remember, sweetie?” Hilde gave him a cool look as she slid her hands under her own knees, holding herself for him as she laid out on the sofa, knees bent up, those petals dripping with wolf lust for her dog.
“You are so fucking perfect!” He growled and climbed over her, settling his tapered tip against her entrance, rubbing and teasing on a little before he pushed right past, his tongue lolled as he desperately sheathed every inch into her.
Hilde moaned happily as she felt him spread her walls, her tongue peaking out as he bottomed out, that tapered tip kissing hard at her core. “Gods, James… I love you…” She panted out, looking up at him with hearts in her eyes even as he grabbed her wrists and pinned them above her head on the sofa.
“You too, Hilde… I fucking love you, babe… everything and all my dreams for you…” He growled and squeezed her wrists, a rare display of dominance as she felt him hold her down while rocking his hips, that tapered tip digging at her core while her breasts swayed in her top, snug in their bra.
“Yesss… I want to be part of your dreams and you part of mine… ngh… Right there… fuck I love when you hit that spot!” She barked out, starting to sound savage as her teeth snapped and she glared at him, her walls crushing his intruding length, honey dripping off his sacs to the cushions of the sofa.
“Right… there, babe?” He gave her a cocky little grin, keeping her held down as he adjusted and pushed his hips forward with a wet slap, her bent legs kicking slightly as she barked out a moan, her white tail wagging while he stroked inside her.
“Fuck yes! Fuck me, James! Fuck me like a bitch in heat, fuck me like I’m your bitch!” Hilde broke the grip and reached up, wrapping her arms around his neck to draw him down for a forced savage kiss.
His brown eyes widened as she nipped his tongue a few times as if to get him going, but the corgi nodded and started bucking his hips, driving himself deep into his wolf girlfriend as they kissed desperately.
“Ngh… guh… Ha!” Hilda broke the kiss with a throaty moan, not bothering to keep her voice down, not caring who heard or what they thought as he made her crest again, her walls crushing him once more.
“Fuck… love making you feel good, babe… love everything about you…” James groaned and kept holding close to her, both of them nose to nose, Hilde rapidly nodding as he just kept crashing into her. This wasn’t lovemaking despite their loving words, each of them was riding on the crashing adrenaline from the situation, desperate and eager with the brief privacy they’d stolen for themselves.
“Love you… adore you… harder… harder…” Hilde panted as she cupped his cheek, panting and moaning with each stroke he made, feeling his knot starting to push into her and back out again, growing rapidly from their desperate lovemaking.
“O-okay babe… ngh!” He snapped his teeth as he bucked faster, plunging deeper into his wolf’s tight relentlessly clenching walls, her pants filling his ears and her tail smacking at his hip.
“Yes! Yes! Fuck!” Hilde barked out eagerly with each deep stroke, her tongue lolled, her nails digging hard into his shirt as she clung to his shoulders, rocking as he just smashed into her repeatedly, the sofa groaning to their movements.
James rocked his hips hard, sweat dripping off his brow as he shoved down into her, his thick knot popping in and out messily while he panted down into her face, “Hilde! Fuck… babe, I fucking… ngh! I’m almost-”
“Do it then already! Fucking knot me, now!” She barked the words with a wild look in her eyes, snarling and snapping her sharp teeth. James didn’t argue and shoved his hips hard as that nearly full knot popped into his bitch, pushed deep, then bloomed to full, trapping her with him.
“Fucking yesss…” Hilde hissed out before howling as she felt his cock jump violently and send the first burning rope deep inside, her corgi’s own howl of a moan joining her as the release took him.
“Gods! Fucking… damn! Love…y-you… so… much!” James snarled and panted the words with each rope he sent in, his brown eyes full of hearts for her before he shuddered as they rolled up.
Hilde groaned and held him close, feeling every last drop be milked in, the young wolf licking her lips as she felt him give that small little buck he always would do as he finished, as if making sure his knot was secure, then he collapsed on his hands, panting over her.
“Damn… damn… babe… damn…” He heaved, looking ready to collapse after the intense quick session on top of the efforts of the night on stage.
She groaned in relief then rubbed his ears before awkwardly moving to tug one boot off and tug her pants off one leg so she could lower them. “Fuck… fuck… I gave myself a bit of a hip cramp there… heh… worth it though for you sweetie… damn…” She panted out with a giggle.
“S-sorry babe…” He panted as he sat up slightly, rubbing her left hip.
“Other one,” she said with a wince and grin as he switched sides to knead at her aching hip. “Ha… there you go… fuck…” She giggled and then wriggled her hips a little to adjust so she was a bit more comfortable while his knot calmed down.
“Heh… they make positions like that look so fun in porn, but when you actually do them it’s kinda rough huh?” James laughed as he kept rubbing.
“Yeah, it’s like when we have sex in the shower at truck stops, oh my gods that is such a chore sometimes! Worth it but ugh…” Hilde giggled, then smiled up at him as she ran her hand along his ear, rubbing it as she looked into his eyes. “Love you, sweetie.”
James leaned down and kissed her lips, staring back into her green eyes as he shivered, then answered happily, “Same… I love you so much, Hilde… I want to sing with you again on stage, I want you with me… I don’t want it to be my journey, I want it to be ours…”
She gave him a grin, her eyes looking misty again before she nodded. “I like the sound of that… our journey…”
—*—
Later that night Tracey and Hilde settled down together in the hotel lobby, both of them with drinks. She had a scotch on the rocks while Hilde naturally was sporting a Screwdriver.
“I’m surprised you’re not with Leo and Flia, Tracey, I mean not that I’m complaining about hanging out!” Hilde showed her a grin while holding her drink.
“Leo and Flia are out on a little after-concert date, I chose to stay behind and hang with you,” Tracey said simply as she rolled her drink about in the tumbler.
Hilde stammered out at that, “W-why?! You should be spending time with Flia, shouldn’t you?” Hilde countered but also looked a little happy, a smile threatening her lips.
“Talking to Isaac, that big wolf you met when we were doing the shows with Cream and Mocha, got me some really good insight on things. He told me to make sure to offer the others some space to enjoy themselves.” Tracey grinned and shook her head. “Flia came before me, and though Leo was with me when she came back along, I know this isn’t just about all of us together all the time. I don’t mind letting them have their first time together alone in two years.”
“That’s really so cool of you, Tracey… Does it bother you?” Hilde asked with a frown.
“It would have had it not been mutual…” Tracey rubbed her chin and then shook her head. “I don’t feel like a third wheel, I feel like part of the whole, you know?”
“I guess I’d have to be in your boots to get it, but it sound really nice that you guys are already communicating and respecting one another so well…” Hilde sipped her drink before looking down at it.
“By the way… I could hear your howling from the conference room earlier,” Tracey said playfully as she sipped her own drink.
“Good!” Hilde giggled and lifted her chin, looking proud of herself.
Tracey giggled and then smiled at her. “You two seem even stronger after that little adventure tonight.”
“Was that your plan all along, Tracey?” Hilde cocked a brow as she sipped her spiked orange juice.
“No way, I just wanted to pay you back for that little stunt a while ago!” Tracey grinned then smirked. “It was actually Flia who suggested we pull it off tonight, even helped us plan it!”
“Heh… your new girlfriend is a bitch,” Hilde grinned as she leaned back.
Tracey smiled then leaned forward, resting her elbows on her knees. “How you doing, kid?”
“I told you-” Hilde grunted then smiled before shaking her head. “I’m doing good… Me and him are doing good.”
She leaned back and took a sip of her drink before looking off into the distance of the lobby. “This wasn’t some plan to cement things for you two, just a fun thing to pull on you and also get James some more experience.”
“Thanks for clearing that up… How are things going for you and Flia?” Hilde asked while also leaning back.
“You really want me to tell you?” Tracey cocked a brow.
“Tracey, I love you, and you’re my dearest friend. I want to still talk about our lives with one another. So yes, I do.” Hilde took a long pull from her drink like she was steeling herself, despite the supportive words.
“Better than I anticipated… Very well. Things just feel… right.” Tracey didn’t mince her words as she looked her apprentice straight in the eyes. She could see the twinge of ache but Hilde gave a small nod.
“I’m really happy about that. I didn’t want to see you or Leo get hurt… That’s a blow I can’t protect you two from after all…” She sighed.
“Damn, that was pretty good, thankfully you’re not my heartguard, right?” Tracey winked and then rubbed her chin. “Hey… this might make a good song…” She thumbed out a notebook and wrote down a few keywords to mull over later.
“Look at you! Already thinking about a song, composing something right on the fly! You helped James write his song too. Maybe, you were made for this life, Tracey?” Hilde gave her a loving grin.
“I don’t think we’re made for anything, Hilde. I think we choose what we want to be. There are outside factors that can obviously influence things, but…” She pushed a hand to her collar, as if to feel the pendant that Leo had on, then smiled to herself.
“I’m okay, Tracey… I want to see you, Leo, and Flia work out. I… I love James, and I want to be there for him, not just as a support either. I want to make our dreams intertwine, whatever that might mean.”
“Yeah? I sure never dreamed of being an idol… Funny how shit works out huh? You think any of my fans would still like me if they knew how I was off the stage?” Tracey smirked.
“Absolutely! Your attitude and outlook bleed into your performance every show, Tracey. Give your fans more credit, they can feel how you actually are in your movements and words.” Hilde wagged a finger at her in a knowing tone.
“Maybe so…” Tracey smiled and then nodded. “So… tomorrow, the three of us are going to a hot spring to relax.”
Hilde nodded and tilted her head. “Thanks for the heads up, you saying I got the day off, boss?” She grinned at her lazily.
“Do you want a day off to hang around with James and fuck all day?” She gave a lazy shrug. “My security detail would still be helpful to have in case something went down. Just saying if she wants to bring her boyfriend, well I won’t complain if she and him slip off to splash around on their own.”
Hilde blushed and nodded slowly. “Are you inviting me to come, Tracey?”
“I’m saying if you and James wanna come along, you’re welcome too. Just don’t be all up in my tail fur while me and Leo are hanging with Flia, ya know?” Tracey gave her another grin. “You two had the chance to do it in water yet?”
“N-no… not yet…” Hilde said with a blush.
“Well, maybe something to think about. You got a swimsuit?” She asked while smirking.
“Tracey… Why would I have a swimsuit with me in the middle of a tour?” Hilde laughed.
“Good point. We have about the same hip size and I’ve got some that can adjust at the top, wanna borrow one of mine? I’m sure James would appreciate it!” Tracey gave her a wink.
Hilde blushed and bit her lower lip, imagining Tracey in a swimsuit and then the idea of her wearing one of her idol’s swimwear. “Y-yes! Can you model one for me as well while we’re there?”
Tracey laughed and shook her head. “I’m not trying to tease you, Hilde. You’ll get to see me in one tomorrow if you’re coming, now come on.” Tracey stood and jerked her head for the younger wolf to follow.
“O-Okay!” Hilde huffed and downed the last of her drink before hopping up to follow her out of the lobby to pick out a swimsuit for tomorrow.
Tracey looked back, grinning as the younger wolf followed after her, but then smirked as Hilde moved up right next to her and hugged her arm, giving her a challenging grin, showing she wouldn’t just follow behind her.
