"Oh jeez, that was good. I can't believe your tongue is that long! I'm still feeling tingles in my tummy from that," Elizabeth said, laying against the pile of pillows at the head of the bed.

The tiger-cub next to her licked her lips and the fur around her muzzle, trying to clean up some of the sticky girl-juice that Lizzy had left all over her face. Alex felt like she desperately had to do something. The stiffness between her legs was getting unbearable. She pushed her upper body up a bit and rested on her elbows, and turned to look at Lizzy. The stoat had a dreamy look on her face and the tip of her tongue was hanging out the side of her muzzle. Alex bit her lower lip in frustration.

"You were right. That made me_really_ stiff," Alex said, looking down at her waist. She could see her male member twitching in time with her heartbeat. "It...it kind of aches now. Can...can you...can you do what you did...over the weekend? With your mouth? Please?"

"If I did that, I wouldn't be able to lick your flower afterward. Remember what your mom said? No semen near vaginas, silly kitty!", the stoat replied, still staring at the ceiling.

Alex whimpered in the back of her throat, a very peculiar sound coming from a tiger, even if she was just a cub. Elizabeth turned her head, seeing an expression on Alex's face that she'd never seen before. The expression on her face was just like when a cub in class had to use the bathroom and was trying to hold it in.

Elizabeth took pity on her best friend. "Okay, I'll suck on it, but you have to tell me before you ejaculate, or I won't be able to lick your flower afterwords."

"Please?" the tiger cub asked, almost begging.

Instead of answering, Lizzy quickly rolled over until she was kneeling next to Lexi's tummy and leaned down, taking her friend's penis into her mouth. As much as she wanted to simply hold it there, feeling Lexi's heartbeat making it throb, she knew it would be cruel to deny Lexi the release she so obviously needed. Instead, she ran her tongue rapidly around the pointed head and down the sides of the shaft, slurping it into her mouth all the way until it reached the back of her throat.

After sighing through her nose, she applied a tiny bit of suction and began rubbing her tongue all over Lexi's penis, twirling it around the base and rubbing the back of her tongue underneath the tip. The nubs where Lexi's spines had been felt rather peculiar, and she pulled her muzzle back to run the tip of her tongue all around the head where the funny bumps were. The sensation of those tiny bumps on her tongue was fascinating, especially after spending so long with only her father's smooth penis as an example of what the male member looked like.

Alex lay back on her bed, purring like a motor engine, practically comatose with the pleasure that Lizzy was giving her. The sensations were unbelievable, even considering that Lizzy had done this same thing last weekend. She could feel Lizzy's tongue running over every tiny ridge and bump on the glans of her penis, and it was so intense she almost asked Lizzy to stop.

Lizzy continued to run her tongue over Lexi's member, running her tongue around the tip, then further back around the ridge, then even further back on the shaft. From long experience with her father, she knew that it was best not to focus on the tip, just like you weren't supposed to focus on a girls clitoris; the sensation could be almost painful in excess.

For the next minute or so, Elizabeth continued to run her tongue all around Lexi's dick, swallowing periodically and applying a gentle suction every so often to mix things up. The pointed tip of her best friend's boy-part fascinated her; it was so pointy compared to her father's, she couldn't help but run the back of her tongue over it, savoring the new and unfamiliar sensation.

It wasn't much longer at all before Alex felt that strange tingle starting somewhere at the base of her penis. She knew she had to say something, she tried to say something...but she couldn't. The sensation was just too much. She felt her testicles draw up a bit and her entire body twitched in time with her penis.

It was only Lizzy's long experience that let her recognize the signs of Lexi's imminent release, and she pulled back immediately, trying to make sure she didn't get any in her mouth so she could lick Lexi's flower without worrying about getting semen in it. She was barely fast enough, and the first squirt pegged her in the forehead, bouncing off to land on the carpet next to the bed. As she pulled her head out of the way and the next squirt hit the wall above Lexi's head. The third went all the way up Lexi's fluffy chest, forming a line from the boy-girl's belly button to her neck. The fourth and fifth joined the third, painting a Y just above her tummy. The last two squirts pooled in Lexi's belly button, leaving a strand of sticky semen attached the tip of her penis.

Lizzy caught herself leaning forward to lick it up, and pulled back. It was almost habit to clean up that way. She grabbed a towel from the pile at the base of the bed and began wiping off Lexi's fur. If she didn't get it up quickly, it would form sticky clumps that would have to be cut out with scissors. After a few moments of cleaning, she inspected her work. The fur was still slightly matted, but she'd gotten all the major clumps. She tossed the towel across the room to Lizzy's closet, where the hamper was. Then she saw Lexi's face, and giggled. The tiger-cub had her tongue hanging out the side of her mouth and was staring blankly up at the ceiling, still purring.

"Silly kitty, you were supposed to warn me! I almost didn't pull back in time."

Lizzy could barely hear Lexi's mumbled apology, but it satisfied her. Sometimes it was too much for father too, especially if he'd been away on a business trip for several days. Knowing it would take a few moments before Lexi regained her wits, Lizzy lay down next to her favorite tiger-kitty. There was nothing more fun than snuggles, especially after doing sexy things.

As she lay there, pressed up against Lexi's side, she couldn't help but compare the smell of Lexi's semen and her fathers. Father's was musky and salty, like the smell of his fur after swimming in the ocean. Lexi's on the other hand, smelled like a forest after a rainfall, but with a faint hint of cinnamon and herbs. She wondered...hmm..."Lexi? What did you eat today?"

"....uhh...I think...I had French Toast...and...umm...grilled cheese sandwiches. With tomato soup. Why?"

"Cause I was wondering why your semen smells like cinnamon and basil. It smelled that way last weekend too."

"Oh. I have french toast with cinnamon and powdered sugar all the time. It's my favorite breakfast."

"What about the basil?"

"umm...I think it's in the tomato soup, and mom makes a lot of other stuff with it too. It's healthy and yummy, like garlic. Only it doesn't leave you with bad breath like garlic does."

"Well, that explains it."

They both lay there in silence for a few moments, Lizzy reveling in the closeness of her best friend in the whole world, Alex recovering from the intense orgasm she'd just had. After a few moments, Alex turned her head kissed Lizzy on the top of hers.

"Thank you. That was awesome."

Lizzy giggled. "Oh, that was just the beginning," she said as she sat up. She crawled over Alex's body until she was between the boy-girl's legs, then moved the extra towels and condoms out of the way. Everything ready, she turned back around and lay on her tummy, looking up at Alex. Alex was looking down at her, wondering what Lizzy was doing.

"Grab a pillow if you want to watch, silly kitty," she said. Then she smirked. "You won't see much from up there anyway." She pushed Alex's good leg until it draped over the side of the bed.

Alex took the advice, moving a few pillows over to prop herself back. Lizzy was busy inspecting her friend's fuzzy little orbs. The fur on them was still soft, like the fur on the sheath above them. She gently lifted them on the back of her hand, moving them to expose her friend's vagina. As she moved the testicles out of the way, she caught a whiff of the same scent as earlier: cinnamon and basil, only this had a slight sweetness to it.

Lexi's flower was practically in full bloom, swollen with arousal and dripping with nectar between her spread legs. There was already a damp spot on the comforter under her. Lizzy rolled back over and grabbed a towel, putting it under Lexi's hips. Everything ready, she lay down on her tummy again.

Gently lifting Lexi's testicles up, she stuck her nose up against her friend's flower, taking a few licks to collect the excess moisture before setting the fuzzy marbles on the bridge of her muzzle. She propped her jaw up on her hands and relaxed, breathing in the spicy, sweet intimate scent of her best friend's arousal.

Alex giggled; from her angle it looked like Lizzy had her entire muzzle stuffed up inside her crotch, especially with her balls resting atop the stoat's nose. Then she gasped as Lizzy began running her tiny tongue around Alex's flower. After her previous orgasm, she was somewhat sensitive even in her girl parts.

After learning firsthand what felt best from her mother, Lizzy had become quite adept at cunnilingus...and she put every iota of her knowledge into practice, trying to see if she could make Lexi yell just like she had only a few minutes ago.

Upon lapping up the excess girl-juice dripping from Lexi's flower, Lizzy ran her tongue up and down the outer labia, then dipped the tip into the folds between them and the inner lips. She ran her tongue up and down each side a few times, marveling at just how good her best friend tasted. It was far better than Mother's girl-juice.

Once she'd finished cleaning the whole of the outside, she spent a few moments running the tip of her tongue over the button at the top, then rapidly flicked her tongue over it. Lexi's leg began twitching, and she knew it was probably getting to be too much, so she moved on, dipping her tongue deep into her friend's channel, pressing her nose up against Lexi's clit.

Shocked, Alex almost jumped as Lexi's cold, wet nose pressed up against her button. Then she felt Lizzy's tongue dip inside her flower, something that she had never felt before. It was like nothing she'd ever felt before, and the bizarre feeling of having that tongue swirl around practically inside her was making her fur stand on end. Knowing that it was Lizzy that was doing it was the only thing that prevented her from pushing Lizzy's head away.

Eventually Alex relaxed as Lizzy continued to swirl her tongue around inside Alex's passage. Her friend would occasionally take a few moments to pull back and run the tip around Alex's flower, lapping up the moisture accumulating there. The strangeness of the sensation was gradually replaced by warmth and a growing tenseness a few inches behind her belly button. This was something Alex had literally never experienced before, and was almost frightened by it. The only comfort was knowing that she had done this same thing to Lizzy; not once, but twice now.

Another two minutes passed with the stoat simply laying there, moving her tongue in circles, dipping it inside her friend's vagina, then running it around the outside. Having done this for her mother for the past year or so had conditioned her tiny pink oral appendage well enough that she probably could have continued for half an hour. Considering how good Lexi tasted, Lizzy was quite content to do exactly that; however, she could sense the twitches passing through Lexi's body every few moments, and knew that the boy-girl was probably close to climax. Lexi's rapid panting was pretty clear evidence by itself that something was going to happen.

Truth be told, Alex was doing everything she could not to give into the strange sensation. Her finger-claws were clenched tightly into her bedding, tearing tiny holes in it. There was a clenching sensation deep in her belly, similar to the one she felt at the base of her boy-hood when she was about to ejaculate. Similar; yet different.

"Liz-Lizzy...I...I...I think...I'm c-close...to...to..."

Lizzy drew back just enough to speak. "I know, sexy kitty."

With that, she darted her tongue out, moving it left and right rapidly against the button at the top of Lexi's flower. Lexi began making short moans between each gasp, slowly rising in pitch and volume. Soon Lexi's leg began twitching every time her tongue came in contact with the kitty's clitty, and Lizzy decided it was time for something a bit more intense.

She tilted her head and pushed forward, using the tips of her teeth to gently hold Lexi's button in place, then hummed deep in her throat while rapidly flicking her tongue up and down across it. Lizzy smiled to herself as she heard Lexi's voice rise through the contralto and mezzo-soprano ranges, changing notes with every gasp. Then the tiger let out one last squeak before her hips began to jerk.

Alex felt like her lower body was being electrocuted, or exploded; she couldn't tell which. She was definitely seeing flashing lights across her vision, though. Ripples of pleasure shot through her body, starting at her flower and making their way deep inside her tummy before shooting out to the rest of her limbs. She felt her legs twitching and struggled to keep from moving her broken leg.

Eventually the twitching faded, and was about to tell Lizzy to stop, only to realize that she had already stopped and was staring up at her while licking her muzzle.

"Did you like that?", Lizzy asked with a giggle.

"Woooow...That was...amazing!" Alex said, still gasping with the aftershocks in her tummy. "..It was...it was like...squirting my boy-juice...only...in reverse..."

Knowing that she'd given Lexi such good feelings made Lizzy smile, and she climbed up the bed until she was above Lexi, on her hands and knees.

Alex lifted her head, kissing Lizzy on the nose, just before the stoat lay herself atop Alex, luxuriating in her friend's soft, fluffy white chest-fur and listening to the tiger's quiet purring.

Several minutes later, Lizzy lifted her head, checking to see if Lexi was still awake. The tiger-cub was smiling at her, looking more relaxed and contented than Lizzy had ever seen her. Just seeing Lexi looking so happy made Lizzy blush, and she could feel her nethers becoming damp again.

"Lexi? Do you think we...could...umm...do...umm..." Lizzy broke off. She was terribly flustered. She'd never been embarrassed by sex in her whole life, yet here she was, turning bright red even while laying practically naked atop her best friend in the whole world. For some reason, asking Lexi to have sex with her was different...special. She ducked her head, hoping her fur would hide her blush.

"Do what, sexy stoat?"

Lizzy didn't respond, rubbing her head against Lexi's chest. She couldn't help but rub her flower against the top of Lexi's sheath.

It took mere moments for Alex to realize what Lizzy was doing, and knew instantly what her best friend wanted. She wanted it too; her maleness was becoming stiff again, especially once she felt the tip of it rub against Lizzy's flower. This wasn't just about having sex though, or the stoat wouldn't have been so flustered. She put her paw under Lizzy's muzzle, bringing it up until they were staring into each others' eyes. The look in Lizzy's eyes was pleading for reassurance, comfort. This wasn't about sex; it was about friendship...and love. She saw tears in Lizzy's eyes, and knew she had to say something. Anything, as long as it was true and from the heart.

"You're my best friend in the whole world, Lizzy, and you always will be. I love you so much..."

She hugged Lexi tightly around the chest. Lizzy felt like she was dreaming, swimming in a pool of warm honey, like those special nights with mother and father where they didn't even need to speak. Lexi loved her, and she loved Lexi; so much that words couldn't even begin to convey the depth of their feelings for each other. Just like Mother and Father loved her.

It was time. More than time. Lizzy was literally shaking with the need to have Lexi inside her. She pushed up and rolled backwards, fumbling amidst the spilled towels for a condom. She tore it open and pulled out the little red disk, almost dropping it in her haste. She turned around and set the disk over the top of Lexi's beautiful, pointed pink tip. In seconds she had it rolled down around the kitty's male appendage. Neither of them noticed that it wasn't quite as snug as it should have been.

After wrapping her best friend's gift, she swung her leg over, planting her knees to either side of the tiger cub's hips in a classic cowgirl pose. She rested her hands on Lexi's tummy, then looked down at Lexi's face. The combination of love and need on the tiger-kitty's face, so close to a sorrowful smile, was one she'd seen many times on her Father's. It reassured her that she was doing the right thing. Lexi glanced down, and Lizzy's gaze followed, seeing the bright red latex-wrapped penis poised at the entrance to her girlhood.

Lizzy reached down with one hand, grabbing the rubber-coated member in one hand and placing the tip just beneath her flower, then bent her knees until the very tip lodged right where it should be. She moaned as she felt the tip penetrate ever so slightly, then set her hand down for control.

She looked back up, wanting to see the kitty's face as she took the boy-girl's male virginity. Lexi's mouth hung open and she drew in a long, shaky breath as Lizzy began to slide downwards. There was no pause; Lizzy was practically dripping with anticipation, and it provided more than adequate lubrication. It was mere moments before Lizzy's buttocks met Lexi's hip-bones; Lexi's sheath flush against her flower.

The very tip of Alex's latex-covered penis nestled in the tiny dip in the middle of Elizabeth's cervix, the entrance to her womb. It was a perfect fit in every way. With the condom on, it was difficult to feel the tiny bumps around the head, but it was enough; knowing that it was Lexi's boy-part inside her, and given just how perfect a fit it was.

Moments later, Lizzy started rotating her hips slightly, rubbing Lexi's penis against the walls of her vagina. She smiled, hearing Lexi gasp, and rotated her hips a little faster. The pointed tip of her friend's male member held fast in the hole leading to Lizzy's womb as she ground her butt against Lexi's hips.

The sensations coming from Alex's penis were amazing. Even with the condom on, it was something totally new and different; just as good, in it's own way, as when Lizzy used her mouth. Then Lizzy raised her hips up until Alex's penis was at the very entrance, and slowly sat back down...and Alex sucked in her breath. She had discovered just how much better it could be.

Elizabeth continued to push herself up and down, moving slowly so she could savor every little feeling as Alex's member moved in and out of her flower, barely touching the tip of her cervix when their hips met. It felt absolutely wonderful.

Another blissful minute passed as Lizzy continued to slowly push herself up and down atop Lexi's beautiful boy-part. The only sound in the room was the quiet squelching noises coming from between them and the occasional gasp and heavy breathing. Every time Lizzy bottomed out, the tip of Lexi's penis tickled her cervix.

Lizzy paused as she heard Lexi whimper, then realized that this was probably a bit too slow for Lexi's first time; she hadn't learned yet how to savor those wonderful feelings and was probably feeling a bit overwhelmed with the need to ejaculate. She began bouncing up and down, increasing her pace drastically and not pulling out as far; she didn't want Lexi to accidentally fall out.

Another twenty seconds passed as the two cubs filled the air with the noise from their coupling, hot and wet. Something was wrong though; Lizzy felt something strange at the top of her vagina; something that wasn't supposed to be there. She sat down, impaling herself all the way to the base of Alex's penis, then stopped. Alex whined, then opened her eyes. The look on Alex's face nearly broke Lizzy's heart; the feeling of complete betrayal.

Lizzy bit her lip. "I'm sorry, Lexi. There's something wrong. I...it feels strange. I'm going to pull off...don't worry, we'll keep going after this."

With that, Lizzy pulled all the way off Alex's penis and swung her leg over, rolling onto her back next to the tiger cub. It was immediately obvious what was wrong; the condom had come off...and she couldn't see where it was.

"The condom...it came off. It...it's probably inside me somewhere."

Alex was having a hard time thinking; the last minute had been...intense. She gasped, trying to get her breath back. Sex was weird; it wasn't all that hard, but it caused her heart to race and made her short of breath anyway. Then Lizzy's words hit her. The condom had come off. Alex looked over. Lizzy had her hand at her flower and two fingers deep inside it. She was clearly trying to reach the condom inside her, and failing...Alex was going to have to help.

"Here...Move up. I'll see if I can get it. My fingers are slightly longer than yours."

Lizzy moved up the bed until Alex could reach her flower. She gasped as Alex slowly inserted a finger into her vagina.

"You're so wet...Oh, wait, I think I...wait...no...hold on, I'm going to put two fingers in."

With that, Alex pulled her fingers back out and put two of her fingers together. It wasn't nearly as easy to get her fingers in like that; Lizzy's flower was tight enough that she had to wiggle them to get them inside. As she wiggled her fingers around, Lizzy gasped. It was nearly as good as having Alex's penis inside her flower.

"I think, yes, I've got...wait...there it is. Hold on, I'm trying to get it...in my finger-claws...Hah!" Alex exclaimed as she slowly pulled her fingers back out of Lizzy's flower; the wet, crinkled form of the condom held between two fingers.

"I don't think we're going to be able to use these condoms, if they slip off like that," Elizabeth said dejectedly.

"Yeah, you're probably right. I think mom said she could have dad bring smaller ones from the store," Alex said as she dropped the wet condom into the trash can besides the bed.

"Do you...do you think we can lick each other again?"

Alex's response, while not verbal, was definitely an affirmative.

A short beaver wearing a white lab coat walked into the coronary care unit, looking down at the iPad held in her other hand. After a moment, she looked up, meeting the eyes of the stoat in the monitoring bed and then the eyes of the ferret in a business suit holding her hand.

"Well, Mr. and Mrs. Stouffer, we have both good news and bad news. The bad news is, as you probably guessed, you did have a myocardial infarction, what most people call a heart attack. The good news is that we were able to determine via the electrocardiograph you've been hooked up to for the past half hour that it was most likely what we call demand ischemia, a very mild type of heart attack. Usually these are caused by a combination of low blood-oxygen and extremely fast heart beat. Considering how low your troponin levels are, you should have no lasting damage from this at all."

Both the mustelids sighed, and the beaver smiled. She was always happy to give good news, since it was so rare in her profession.

"However, just to be certain, we're going to be running some additional tests to rule out the possibility that it was a coronary artery spasm. We're also going to be doing an echocardiograph to determine the extent of the damage, what little there may be. Regardless, we're going to keep you here overnight in order to monitor you. That's standard procedure for any case suspected of being a heart attack of any kind. Now, do either of you two have any questions for me?"

"No, doctor," the male ferret replied, "This little pamphlet you gave me answered most of them, and you just answered the last of them."

"Excellent. Then, if you don't mind, I've got another patient that I'd like to check on. If you have any problems or questions, feel free to use that button on the side of the bed to call a nurse."

Raenne set the bowl of thinly sliced beef in the refrigerator just as she heard the two cubs making their way down the stairs. At least Alex wasn't making nearly as much noise as usual, though having to go up and down on crutches may have been responsible for that. Closing the door behind her, she turned and stepped out of the kitchen and into the foyer to make sure Alex didn't fall. She smiled as she saw Lizzy stop and turn to wait for Alex every few steps.

It wasn't until Lizzy was halfway down the steps that she noticed Lexi's mom standing near the base of the stairs. "Hi, Mrs. Andreyev."

"Hi, Lizzy. Did you two enjoy yourselves?", the adult tigress asked.

"Yes, ma'am! Well...most of the time anyway. The condom slipped off about halfway through, so we had to go back to hands and mouths," the girl said.

"Well, I'm glad you noticed that it slipped off. I'll make sure David picks up a pack of smaller condoms on the way home. So, what brings you both down here?"

"I'm tired of being cooped up in that bedroom," Alex said as she reached the bottom of the stairs. "It's too nice a day to be stuck inside, so I'm going out on the deck."

"As long as you stay away from the edge of the pool. You know you can't get that cast wet," Alex's mom pointed out.

Alex rolled her eyes. "Yes, mom. I'm just going to soak up some sun on the lounge chairs. Did you want to go swimming, Lizzy?"

"I...I...umm..." It didn't seem fair that she go swimming while Lexi was stuck sun-bathing, especially considering how much more Lexi liked to swim than she did. She did want to go swimming though.

"That's what I thought. Do you know where my old swimsuit is, mom?"

"It's up in your closet, on the top shelf," Raenne replied, gratified that her hunch to keep it for just this kind of situation had paid off. "I'll bring it on down for you. Lizzy can use this hall bathroom to change. Just remember to keep the back door open so I can hear you two if you call."

As the girls went down the foyer hallway to the back door, Raenne went upstairs to Alex's room. Surprisingly, the bed was still mostly intact. She grabbed the used towel they'd left on the floor and tossed it in the hamper as she walked into the closet. The swimdress one-piece was still on the top shelf, and she grabbed it before heading back into Alex's room. She sniffed a moment, frowned, and then opened a window before heading back downstairs.

The girls were both sitting on lounge chairs outside the small backyard pool when the tigress walked outside. She tossed the black and white striped garment to the stoat. "That should fit you well enough. Alex outgrew it last summer. Lizzy, what are the rules?"

"No diving, no running, no wrestling, and yell if there's a problem."

"You got it, kiddo. You make sure Alex doesn't fall asleep out here while you're in the pool. Alex, since you're not swimming, it's your job to yell if there's a problem, and you keep an eye on her at all times. You fall asleep out here while she's swimming and that broken leg will be the least of your worries." The adult glared at Alex to emphasize the seriousness of that statement.

"Yes, mom. I'm going to teach her how to swim laps," the tiger-cub stated.

Alex's mom raised an eyebrow at that. "In this tiny pool? You mean half-laps, right?"

"Well...umm...yes. She's gotta start somewhere, right?", Alex replied.

"I suppose so. Don't you swim at your own house, Lizzy?"

"No, ma'am. Actually, I do, but I don't swim laps or anything. I just hang out in the pool with Lexi. Or sometimes in the jacuzzi with mother and father."

"Ah, I see. You two have fun out here. I'm going to run a load of laundry and work on some book-keeping. Yell if you need anything."

"Yes, ma'am."

"Yes, mom."

"Let's see...dolphins, deer, equines...here we are."

The white tiger scanned down the row of prophylactics. It was an almost dizzying array of options for different species, sizes, flavors, textures, colors, brands...he wondered if they went so far as to carry condoms for insects. It was mind-boggling.

Nevertheless, he went down to the brand he usually used and checked to see what sized they had. At least he didn't have to worry about silly sizes like "snug", "standard", and "magnum" anymore. The legislation that had been passed a few years ago made it required to list condom sizes by length and circumference; mostly due to lobbying by the equine portion of the population.

"Let's see...de-barbed...Now how the hell am I supposed to guess what size she is? I have no idea how large I was at that age..."

David growled, a deep menacing noise that raised the hackles of an elderly mouse in the next aisle over. After a minute or so, he decided to go with two different sizes...one for four inches and another for five and a half inches. The ones he had at home were eight, and obviously way too big if they'd slipped off.

Decision made, he grabbed the two boxes and walked down the aisle to the checkout counter, where a female zebra was checking the last few items for a white-haired rodent. As he walked up, the rodent nervously ran her debit card through the card reader. A moment later, she darted out, glancing over her shoulder at the white tiger.

"Huh. I hope I didn't scare that old lady off," he said as he set the two boxes of condoms and a $10 bill on the counter.

"No sir. She wus righ' skairt befow she done come up heah."

As the equine picked up the condoms to scan them, her eyes darted up at the tiger and then down to his pants, and pursed her lips, clearly resisting the urge to say something. Catching the glance and realized what the girl must have been thinking, David turned a fiery red under his white fur. He held his hands up, protesting "It-no-it's not like that. It's for my daughter. Not me!"

"Look, sugah, it's alrigh'. Ain' nothin' tuh be 'shamed of. Not everyone's an equine. That'll be $9.90."

David tried to stammer out an objection as the zebra-lady packed the condoms into a small plastic bag, then placed it and the receipt and change in his open hand. Then she turned and walked to the customer service desk, leaving him standing there blushing furiously.
