Click, Click, Boom.
The pistol seemed so heavy in his hands...
Alex wiped the tears from his eyes and returned his attention to the bore of the piece of metal and plastic that would make everything right again, the small brush in his left paw cleaning away every last piece of dirt and carbon to a meticulous shine. The wolf was always known for being meticulous about everything he did, and today, he was no different.
Again his thoughts turned to the lovely Seriana, his true love and first partner, he couldn't stop thinking about their first night together. He had surprised her as she waited on her jock boyfriend. Dan was his name, football hotshot for the college both Alex and Seriana attended. He had stood her up for the fifth time in a month and Seriana was on the verge of tears when Alex approached her.
Alex was by no means an attractive wolf. He was actually considered more of a nerd by his peers than anything, usually peering at a textbook through glasses perched on the edge of his nose as he put his inborn meticulousness to good use in boosting his GPA.
That same attention to detail had opened up Seriana to him, in less than an hour of simple conversation she was spilling her heart out to him, and he could only love her all the more.
As he walked her home, they talked about him, and it was his turn to open up to her this time, she being surprised a how much he did with his free time compared to how studious he seemed at school. Alex brushed it off, stating that being so ingrained in his schoolwork was what freed up his time so much.
Seriana's house was dark as they approached it, and as they mounted the steps, Alex turned to bid his farewell as she turned her key in the lock and opened the door.
"Come in, for a bit." Her musical voice had rolled over him, and Alex found himself stepping over the threshold and into his crush's house without a second thought.
As soon as the door was shut and locked, Seriana literally fell into his arms. Her sleek multicolored fur seeming like silk in his hands as their lips connected in a kiss with so much passion is sent Alex reeling.
The husky smiled at him and drew her into her living room, where she lit a few candles and came to him again, Alex's nervousness seemed to dissolve with each touch of her silky paws, it wasn't long before clothing was coming off, and Seriana's light moans filled his ears as he nuzzled her neck and collarbone.
Alex choked, dropping the brush and holding his hand over his eyes, trying to shut out the memory, yet never wanting it to go.
She had slowly weaved her dull claws through his fur, resting on the hem of his pants and undoing them, he had barely noticed, entranced by the smell of her arousal and encouraging whispers in his ear.
They were soon both naked and lying on the floor of her living room, she placed a gentle paw on his chest and pushed him up, staring intently into his eyes as she spread her legs for him. Alex decided to forgo the stupid statements of his virginity and adjusted his position, slowly teasing her wet folds with the tip of his cock.
She moaned into his chest and rocked her hips lightly. "Be gentle, Alex...it's my first time."
Alex smiled down at her and nuzzled her cheek. "Mine too."
She only nodded and gasped, her body going rigid as his cock slid slowly into her dripping wet folds, Alex taking it slow and allowing her to adjust to him as he fed inch after inch into her.
It wasn't long before he felt his tip nudging at the wall of her virginity, he paused and looked into her eyes, she only nodded, panting at the pleasure already filling her.
Alex dipped his head once and gave a short, sharp thrust, breaking through her hymen and taking both of their virginities away from them.
Seriana yelped and Alex paused again, letting the pain leave her before he started a slow and gentle rhythm.
They had gone on like that for hours, staring into each others eyes and holding each other tight as her first real orgasm roared through her body and triggered his own, him easing his knot into her as his seed filled her.
When it was over, they simply lay on the floor, tied together and sleeping in each other's arms until they were awoken by the morning sun.
"Thank you, Alex. I'll call you again tonight." She had said at the door as Alex pulled his sweater on, smiling and giving her a gentle kiss.
"I love you, Seriana." He replied. She blushed and returned the words, and he turned from her. Returning to his own home, the whole world seeming vivid to him now, from the crisp autumn wind to the crunch of leaves under his paws.
The day had been uneventful, Alex taking the trash to the curb and cleaning up the clutter around his small home, smiling the whole time as the evening neared.
But, as the sun dipped lower in the sky, his phone still remained silent. After a few times of checking it to make sure it was still working, Alex finally sat down on the couch and reached for the remote. Not knowing that, with the press of that small, red button, his life would be gone.
"...This Fox, by the name of Daniel Ridgeback, is wanted for questioning in relation to this afternoon's brutal murder of 19-year-old Serianna Whispertail, the Siberian Husky was found dead in her home by neighbor who noticed the door standing open..."
Alex stared blankly at the screen, the video of the house he had just left that morning showing on the screen, his mind had already ground to a halt, refusing to believe that the lovely woman whom had just taken her into his arms as her and his first love was now....gone.
Alex shook the memory finally, collecting the brush and setting it aside. What had happened in the days after that devastating news report had been a blur for the grief-stricken wolf. It had been easy enough to get the information on where Dan was hiding from the police, as well as the tool that now sat in Alex's shaky but firm hands.
He set the pistol aside and picked up the magazine, as well as the box of .45 caliber slugs. He had bought fifteen, he only pulled two.
click, click The slightly oily rounds slid easily into their proper place in the magazine and Alex picked up the pistol again, sliding the magazine into the grip and sighing deeply as he removed his glasses.
Tonight...
Dan sat in the old, torn up recliner, watching the news on a half-burned out TV set, chuckling at the story of the futile efforts of the police in their search for him. He heard a strange thump upstairs, but brushed it off, assuming his friend had a lady over for the evening.
He didn't hear the paws padding down the stairs, or the faint sound of metal on denim.
"Get up, Dan." Alex's voice cut through his musings like a scythe, sending the Fox leaping to his feet and whirling to meet the yawning barrel of a pistol and the very pissed-off gaze on the other end of it.
"Where's James?" The fox asked, dumbfounded.
"Out cold on his kitchen floor, a pistol whip is quite the effective tool." Alex growled, pondering the idea of just shooting him right away.
"You've been a bad dog, Dan." He said, lifting the pistol and locking out his arm. "Seriana didn't deserve what you did to her."
"Seriana was a bitch, Alex, like any other, and she cheated on me with the likes of you. I'm sure you understand that I couldn't accept that."
"You're a damned fool." Alex almost roared, stepping forward. "The likes of you aren't worth licking the dirt off her feet, and you knew that."
"Your not going to shoot me, Alex. Put the damn gun down before I have to hurt you." The fox growled, beginning to step around the chair.
"Three words, Dan." Alex whispered. Reaching up and pulling the slide to the rear. "Click." He let the slide slam forward, chambering one of the two rounds. "Click." He lifted the pistol and locked out again, centering the sights on the fox's chest, "Boom." and pulled the trigger.
The handgun bucked in his hand, the blast and pressure wave deafening in the small basement space. The heavy slug ripped through the Fox's chest and sent him tumbling to the ground, heart already stopped.
"That's one..." Alex said, lowering the handgun. He padded up the basement stairs, stepped over the knocked out Dingo, and out into the chilly evening air.
"Here's two..." He whispered. "Seriana...see you soon." He lifted the handgun to his temple, closed his eyes, and slowly squeezed the trigger.
