The Raptor Ranch Part 7
I've wanted to write this part for a while and I finally got the best chance to do so. Another shorter chapter with some more worldbuilding aspects. There's really not much to say but just I hope you all enjoy this chapter.
Also huge fucking shoutout to Luccatoasty on FA who did this awesome commission of Vex being extra naughty: https://www.furaffinity.net/view/46543295/
And here's an alternate version of him too: https://www.furaffinity.net/view/46543344/
3 Days Later Bastion City was relatively new in comparison to other places in Colorado. With a population of just over 100,000 which is still growing, it was becoming a bustling metropolis quickly. With it's two major lifelines being the Raptor Ranch and the new Geothermal Energy Plant, and the city had plenty of jobs and with those jobs brought in other businesses and buildings. There was the unfortunate backlog of constant construction work that was always present however.
If I remember my history correctly the place started out as a small mining village during the Gold Rush, people believing the area had gold to give. But soon it was abandoned before any real mining started so for nearly a hundred years the place sat vacant and abandoned. It wasn't till the 1950s that it started seeing some life as the US government bought out the land for the construction of 3 ICBM missile silos. The town got some life blood pumping as the construction brought in a few businesses, which became the old foundation of the town center. By the 80s the place became a bit more popular and then the missile silos were decommissioned in the early 90s, that's when things started to exploding in growth. One of the six major genetic companies, Greentek Genetics, bought the land which became the ranch I work at now, and one of the missile silos for cold storage of genetic samples. By mid 2010s the town was already at a huge population of 30,000. And now at 2032, the place was becoming a true city.
I had managed to snag some alone time today, going into town to do a few runs for people plus a little shopping of my own. I took a few days to really give some thought about my.... unusual conversation with my boss Tim, and what he suggested I do for money. Then I actually did some research on the matter and goddamn there's a huge community of people getting off on watching people fuck droms. And looking up some well known individuals in the community and seeing what they were racking in, I honestly became a bit jealous. I seriously started seeing what Tim was going after, even after looking at a few online forums and reading up more, amateur film makers still were making good money. I pretty much made my peace with the fact that I wanted to pay off my debt as soon as possible and...if making and selling porn with Vex will pay it off, so be it. I told Tim that I wanted to take a trip into town for a few hours to go shopping, which gave him a smirk when I mentioned it, so he gave me the excuse of running a few things to the post office for him. A good enough excuse as any I guess. Then of course leaving Vex and the twins alone was hard enough. I don't often drive my own personal vehicle so the moment I was getting the SUV out and was getting ready to leave, Red tried climbing in, tearing a hole in the back seat with his dewclaw. Vex was all whiny and trying to keep me from leaving but I promised him once again I'd be back. Rose tried climbing in too, but into the driver's side and I had to shoo her out, ugh pains in my ass.
Right now I was currently trying to find my way to this 'shop' Tim had told me about and gave me the address for, an adult store by the name of 'The Healing Touch', I honestly don't know why you'd name a sex store that. It sound more like either some sleazy discount doctor, a chiropractor, or a herbal store. But I digress, name it whatever you want. But more surprising is the fact Tim claimed to have dated the owner, I honestly didn't think Tim swung that way, I guess you really can't judge anyone anymore for it. I was both following my GPS and just looking out for any signs of the store. Soon my GPS told me that I had hit my destination and I was near a place that was more like a hole in the wall. There was a classic continuous row of buildings with a sidewalk connecting them all with a parking spots along the sidewalk, some of the parallel parking. The building I was looking for was made out of red brick with a painted storefront with the large emboldened lettering on top of both the door and the bay window which displayed some ...well risky clothing and some cameras, the sign read in bold white letters 'The Healing Touch' with some advert posters plastered on the windows advertising things like sex toys and clothes for both him and her. Honestly was kinda impressed that they just openly advertised stuff like that. I couldn't remember if there used to be any laws that could have gotten you in trouble if you tired that but my mind slips me.
I had to pick the parallel parking spot as it gave the best access to my trunk and back seat for putting everything in. I ended up making a shopping list of things I'd need. With cameras being on the top of the list. The rest is...is well would make most people blush or look at me with some amount of oddity. I walked through the door and was greeted with extremely detailed and organized rows of merchandise of all shapes and sizes lining the walls and on shelves. This place literally had fucking everything you could think of in the sex industry, seriously everything. God what hell am I doing at this point? When I walked through there was a bell the chimed as it swung open but there was no one at the cash register to my right. That's when I heard a voice echoing from the back.
"I'll be there in just a minute!" A very booming gruff voice echoed out. I sorta stood next to register a bit awkwardly as I thumbed the folded piece of paper in my hand. I don't really know why I was so nervous? This wasn't anything new to me, but I guess the luxury of online shopping and the usual discreetness of ordering made me bold. But now I stood in probably the most well stocked and well cleaned sex store that I've ever seen. There was faint red mood lighting all over and the faint smells of cinnamon, vanilla, and lavender all over. Honestly it was quite pleasant. I heard footsteps and saw what I could only describe as....well a fucking strongman. This guy was very large, with hair all over and goatee. He was wearing a tight form fitting white tank top and of all things red sequence dress pants. There were a set of keys that clinked on the belt he had on but this dude was both huge in height and in weight but looked more like a strongman grizzly bear. And here I stood my scrawny 5'9" ass looking up slightly as this guy stepped up to the register with a smile. "Hi, sorry about that. Just got a shipment an hour ago and I was trying to unbox and organize everything." He had a somewhat deep voice. Deeper than what my past dreams about Vex talking sounded like, but like a voice who matched how he looked."So what can I help you with?" He gave a really friendly pleasant smile.
"I....I have a bit of list of things I'd like to get actually." I slightly stumbled on my words a bit.
"A list huh? Well let me see what you've got written down and I'll see what I can help you with." I handed him the piece of paper in my hand and watched him unfold it and started silently reading through it. I have to admit that I didn't see any reactions in his eyes, but he works with this kind of stuff all the time so I could see him not being fazed by it all."Hmm." His voice rumbled slightly.
"Something wrong?" I asked. "Nah. I guess I should've asked Tim if you were bringing in a list or not." My heart sorta stopped and started again. Fucking Timothy....
"So Timothy called you huh? I guess you know who I am then?"
"Well er not really. He just mentioned a good friend of his was coming by for a bit of shipping when he called this morning right before I opened. I'm Robert Lovins by the way, Rob for short." He stuck his large hand out and I shook it. I was surprised he didn't crush my hand really when I shook it.
"I'm Alex, er Alex Karver. So my damn boss called you huh?" He nodded still skimming over the list.
"Yeah. Little Timmy told me a good employee of his was wanting to shop today. Other than that he really didn't say much. How is he by the way? Keeping out of trouble I hope?"
"Eh more or less. Causing just as much as he is avoiding it." I shrugged."Don't take this the wrong way but I never would have guessed that Tim was well....into guys really." That caused Robert to laugh.
"Yeah that definitely catches people off guard alot. He was alot different back in college. So was I too I suppose." He continued to chuckle for a minute longer before clearing his throat."So Alex, or would you prefer 'Mr Karver? This is a pretty large list honestly. I have most of what you'd like but I may have to check and see if I have any extras in the back. I'm more glad that you at least are very clear with what you're looking for. Not many that come in have a vague clue on half of what's in here nor what they want. But lets start with the cameras, follow me." He stepped out from the cashier's booth and waved me to follow him. Walking through a few racks over to where a glass display case held a variety of video cameras, good quality ones too, some were even water resistant, I guess that's a thing. "Here we are. Any camera in particular you're looking for?" Rob asked unlocking the case with his key set.
"Ehh not exactly. I'm looking for one that has good video and picture quality and can pick up good audio. I guess a second one would probably be maybe a bit smaller.... maybe more durable?" I scratched my head a bit. I really didn't think much on what kind of cameras I'd need. But Rob seemed to read my mind enough to grab the box for a decently sized one, with a built in microphone as well. "This one is pretty decent for a start up like yourself. Plus it's a bit cheaper than some of the higher quality ones I sell. Good for making homemade porn right?" He gave me a knowing grin, what did Tim tell him??
"Yeah. Let me guess...Tim told you about me wanting to....branch out huh?" I repressed a hard sigh and facepalm.
"Yup. He told me to treat you well. But listen kid, you shouldn't feel any shame here. Your in a sex shop after all. No need to try and hide or deflect when you're entire list is filled with sex toys and lube." I let out a groan but realized he was mostly right. As long as I kept my answers vague enough I was safe.
"Fine you got me. I'm just not used to buying stuff in person is all. Online shopping has kinda spoiled me a bit." Rob just laughed."But yes that camera looks fine to me. I'm not much of a tech wizard so I'm just hoping it's simple to use."
"It is. If my old ass can operate one blindfolded then you can too. This one," He picked up another smaller camera."Is good too for those pesky hard to....reach shots. And lucky for you it can take a real beating. I'm sure even those raptors up at that ranch you work at couldn't crack the hard-case." He handed me the other box as well while I was wondering if that was a nod at him knowing about Vex, I'm going to kill Tim if he told this guy.
We continued to dart around the store for a while making small talk and Rob helping me pick out various little things I'd need. Bottles of lube, condoms, that sort of stuff. Apparently Robert was pretty big in the porn industry after he dropped out of college. I was pretty on the money about him being a strongman, he was trying to be a bodybuilder, but apparently got really hurt enough to change his career over to porn. Must have been on nasty injury then, but I didn't press really, not my place to ask. A good portion of my list has been wiped out, even bought some.... revealing clothes too. I think Vex likes my strip tease sessions before we start so I figured I could play into that more. But alot of the hardware I...wanted we actually skipped with Rob mentioning getting them last. Fair enough I suppose.
"So that's pretty much everything on your list besides a few obvious things. Racking up quite a purchase." He laughed and slapped my back a bit, which didn't hurt as much as I thought it would. I let out a chuckle. "Now just for all the....you know, sex toys and shit." God it was still awkward to say out load.
"I actually have something to show you. I think you'll like what you see." Now that phrasing made me uncomfortable. Rob is a nice guy and all but...nah dog I'm smart enough to not fall for that trick.
"And what is it you want to show me exactly?" I said crossing my arms.
"Well you want to give your boyfriend a real treat right? Something to really knock him down right?"
"Well yeah, but what exactly is it you're getting at?"
"Just follow me kid." He sorta deadpanned at me and waved me on. I sighed and decided to follow the large man and he led me to a door that was between two foundation pillars. He unlocked the door and walked in. I hesitantly followed and saw him flip on the light with a click. Inside this room which was like a spare room for more merchandise, and there was. Three shelves lined up and at the back wall was large shelves bolted into the wall itself. That's when I saw what was on them. The very first shelf had all kinds of drom toys and accessories you could get in a regular store. Bowls, leashes, collars, chew toys, the works. But there was more.....wait these look like...
"Ok what the fuck is all of this in here? Drom toys and stuff you could just buy at like...I dunno Walmart. Then....these are sex toys shaped after droms...." I just gawked at the larger ones, but they still paled in comparison. Rob just smirked and leaned back on the door frame.
"I sure bet your boyfriend would love all of this now wouldn't he? There's a good reason why Tim sent you to me in the first place." My mind just clicked in place after that.
"Tim.....Tim told you didn't he?"
"Heard you got a big one too. Help yourself to browse."
"And....your just...cool with it?"
"Kid.... fucking use your head and look around you. I sell these online all the time. I just like keeping my shit organized is all. I'm not some fucking slob if you think that. I just have to keep the door locked because these kinds of things aren't necessarily 'legal' yet to openly sell. But people eat them up. As for the whole thing, I don't care. One of the few things Tim and I both agree on is that there's big business and money to be made in this. We both turn a profit and people like you get your rocks off. Who cares? Besides droms are smart enough to understand what they want, if they didn't want it they surely let you know tooth and claw. You get it now?"
"I'm starting to see why you and Tim dated. You both have that business mentality about you." I groaned pinching the bridge of my nose. I heard Rob laugh.
"Good way to look at it. Well listen, I'm gonna go ahead and starting ringing up everything you picked out. Take your time and feel free to look around, no one else is here after all."
"Kinda surprised that it's just you working here."
"Eh, easier to work by myself. Even live in the place right above us. Besides, it's Sunday, doubt anyone wants to come here on a Sunday, besides you I guess. Well take your time, I've got nothing going on." And with that Rob walked out of the room leaving me in this....room full of raptor dildos and fleshlights. I let out a long drawn out sigh trying keep myself from freaking out. But....I guess unless I can disguise myself for the online crowd, people are gonna see my face. This throws everything into an uneven spiral as now.... wait are these massagers? Like....who makes prostate massagers specifically designed for raptors? How deep does this entire situation go? Like what's next!? Finding out that several CEOs, Politicians, and World Leaders are banging raptors on the regular!? What the fuck am I even getting myself into?
After calming down enough I started actually looking around trying to get a feel for what's in here. On the calm end of this room sat things you'd find at any pet store, easy. Then it just goes into a spiral of raptor molded dildos, fleshlights, specifically designed massagers, lotions and lubes made for their care in mind. I looked at the now crumpled list in my hand and decided to just....pick out stuff. I don't think they make any kind of toy Vex could use his cock on without tearing it in half but Red would probably love one or two. Vex likes to give rather than receive when it comes to anal, though he does like prostate massages so I'll get the biggest one Rob has and hope it'll help, at least it has a remote control with it. Rose and Red would both like something similar, Red likes anal alot. Rose just goes with the flow and will take whatever, even I'm surprised that Vex hasn't hurt her before, like seriously she's half his size and yet it's like a black hole sucking in every ounce of his dick without question. Same goes for me as well actually, I mean I can take him easily and I'm pretty sure no human other than me could do that, hell I didn't even know that I was flexible till I started fucking Vex but I may body can almost completely bend over backwards, strange shit.
After grabbing an actual box, which was empty with a note on it saying 'For carrying, just please put back when done', I started loading it up with toys, lotions for feathers and scales, and a bottle of raptor specific lube to try out, not sure what exactly sets it apart from regular ass lube? I mean...I use water based stuff and that's as safe as you can get for putting in your body, eh whatever. I passed by a few actual raptor mounts used for semen extraction, wasn't planning on buying something that has a base price of over 6 grand, besides I was the mount no need to replace me just yet. But I did see that Rob had those large bags for the collection process so I figured maybe they could be used as condoms? Rob also had a bunch of restraints used for like medical stuff involving droms, from muzzles to claw covers, but I passed on it, I'm probably already went over my budget so nah. But passing by the normal aisle of drom stuff I stopped a bit. Thinking deeply for a few minutes on if I really wanted to....go all in...and decided to say screw it and grabbed several things from that section before walking out with box in hands. I saw Rob at the register scanning and typing things into the machine while several bags and boxes were already packed up ready to go. He looked up and smiled.
"Damn, that box is nearly overflowing."
"No thanks to you and your temptations." I sat the box down and nearly took out a small rack of gum next to register.
"Well you can go ahead and starting taking out some of those bags and take them out to your car. I trust that you won't run off." I just snorted and started making multiple trips loading things in the back seats and then finally having to open the trunk and started putting things in there. After probably about ten minutes of this Rob was finally done scanning everything in the box, actually I didn't see any price tags in that back room, probably it's all saved in the computer or something, he bagged up the last of my extremely huge purchase. "Damn, I haven't had this big of purchase from a single person since like two years ago with that bachelor's party." Rob chuckled."Well kid are you ready to hear the damage?"
"I can already feel it burning a hole in my pocket and bank account. Hit me."
"3889 and 89 cents." Fuck me I knew I went overboard.
"Well alright." I started pulling out my wallet but Rob held up one of his huge hands.
"Before you jump in like that. I'm gonna catch you a break. You know Tim, and I know what your doing with all of this. So just give me 2500 and use the rest of what you would pay to get a decent laptop and a good editing program. It'll make it easier trust me."
"I already have a laptop though."
"Get a new one, and only use it for the posting and editing of those videos you make. Easier to manage if you just keep one for a specific use. Only thing I ask in return is a few videos so I can at least see if Tim was actually lying about what he was claiming." My cheeks kinda flushed.
"Fine deal. I still have some errands to do so I can swing by and pick out a laptop. You're very generous Rob." He just shrugged
"Eh don't sweat it. You're not the first person I've helped, though to be fair you are the first person with a drom fetish I've helped, in person at least. But lets get this payment out of the way." We got the payment settled and I loaded the last stuff in the back of my car and said bye to Rob and he wished me good luck before disappearing back into his magical shop of porn. Was more surprised he didn't sell and movies or magazines. Anyways I set off to actually drop of a few things at the post office before finding my way to an electronic store and I found a decent laptop and asked the employee helping me about if he knew of any good editing programs for beginners and he showed me one he recommended. With my entire trip into town having lasted over 4 hours, 1 for the trip to town, I decided to grab something for lunch and headed back to the Ranch. Getting back home was smoother than I expected and soon I was back at the admin office where I kicked open Tim's office. He was standing by the printer doing something with it.
"Oh hey! You're back. How was the city? You get my packages to the post office?"
"Yeah I did. City was busy even for a Sunday and I stopped by Robert's shop. Can you tell me why you told him about my.... personal issues?" I asked crossing my arms staring at him. He just laughed.
"Because he sells that stuff to my cousin overseas as well as the rest of the world. He doesn't make it, just sells it. Figured you would like the place."
"You are fucking bizarre you know that? I've known you for nearly 3 years and now I find out that you....you just are crazy." I started laughing a bit.
"Yeah I get that alot. Anyways you have a good time? Rob behave himself?" Tim asked but then the printer let out a noise and he turned and kicked it."Shut up piece of shit!"
"I did actually. Bought more than I thought I would. Seems like your having trouble."
"Eh damn thing won't work and is making noise. Hey before you go and unload your groceries, I did manage to find a trailer to your specifications. It's gonna be a while to get it here though. Figured I'd let you know."
"Thanks. Well I've gotten get back otherwise Vex will throw a fit. Talk with you later Tim." I waved bye as the printer sang the song of Satan and I heard Tim let out a scream of frustration. I drove back home and found Red chewing on a tree branch he found, of course. Seems that Vex had let everyone out while I was gone as he was laying down on the porch while Rose was of course, laying in my swing on said porch. They all perked up as I pulled into the driveway. Getting out I was nearly knocked over as Red came barging at me like a damn dog. "Red get down!" I shouted as he was trying to climb into the SUV, again. Vex came running over and barked at Red who immediately backed down and away, thank you. Vex then nuzzled into my head and neck as he purred.
"Hey Vex, glad to see you too. Hey I could actually use your help with moving some things if you don't mind." He nodded.
With the help of three raptors I was able to unload everything into the already cramped trailer, great. I would have to find places to hide everything in case anyone came by. I also had to keep the twin morons away from digging into the bags as I put most of the stuff into my room while Vex watched with interest. There was sadly not enough room to put everything so I was now trying to figure out where the hell I was going to put everything, even if it was just temporary. I heard the sound of metal clanking to the ground and saw Vex kicking a bowl from one of the boxes before looking at me with a quizzical glare. A raptor bowl for like water or food, something you'd probably also see used for dogs only made out of a stronger alloy metal, it was purple in color.
"Give it here." I asked but he just looked at me more like judging me. I let out a sigh."It's not for you idiot.... don't make me have to spell it out to you."
It seemed to jolt his brain enough so he bent down and picked it up with his teeth and gave it to me to put up in the closet. Yeah I'm sure he put two and two together there and I'm sure Vex is just pleased with the thought, probably. But for now I was more focused on putting everything away that I could, any sort of lewd stuff could wait. Vex tried helping more after seeing what was in the bag that the bowl came out of but it was more like him looking at me with more and more of a very..... curious gaze. I'm sure there were a million things flowing through his skull and I'm sure if he could talk he would making all kinds of lewd jokes and passes at the situation, honestly I would enjoy that more than the silence with the occasional raptor breathing and nose one makes idle.
The rest of the day was more or less easy. Only thing I had to do really was fill out my daily report, something all caretakers have to do, me included. But it was mostly quiet. Not everything I had bought was put away as I had no room for it all but I'll deal with it tomorrow. I yawned, tired and wanting to get some sleep. Vex was already laying in bed, though the look he gave me meant he was probably wanting some tonight but I really wasn't in the mood.
"Sorry Vex but I'm not in the mood tonight." I shook my head and he let out a whine that sounded like it came from Red.
"No boy, I'm too tired for anything. Just would like to sleep." He whined again but watched as I stripped down and joined him on the bed, I've grown accustomed to sleeping naked at this point."Tomorrow night ok. I'll show you some of what I bought today. But I'm just too exhausted right now. What I do want is raptor cuddles right now though."
I moved next to him and felt his feathered arms wrap around me and he moved his tail between his legs and it was large and bushy enough that it covered at least my legs and stomach. Vex squeezed me gently as he rested his head right above mine and I felt content and comfortable. The large Utahraptor made for a wonderful big spoon. Besides the sex Vex was definitely a cuddler for sure. More so than I thought when he first moved in, but he likes to hold me close and I really liked being in this position, of course half the time I was being pumped full, but I enjoy the non sexual cuddling that happens. I felt myself getting tired and soon felt myself closing my eyes and falling asleep to the sound of Vex's breathing.
