Chapter 2

Saturday morning came and I got out of bed with a groan. In addition to the general irritability and dull burning feeling I’d felt all over for nearly a week, I was starting to become sore and stiff. If it went on for much longer I was starting to think that I might have to see a doctor ... I’d been a few times before they always treated me like an animal. With another groan I got dressed for work and shuffled out of the bedroom. I could smell that David was making breakfast and I headed to the kitchen.

“Morning sweetheart!” He greeted with a grin. Upon seeing him, the fire in my belly increased, but I smiled anyway. After our conversation he’d been doing his best to stay cheerful, and in return I’d been trying to do a better job of keeping my moodiness in check, but I could see that my state was worrying him. “Want some breakfast?” David gestured to a small stack of pancakes.

“Yes please.” He put a few on a plate and handed it off. His hand brushed against mine in the process and my fur stood up on end. I went to the dining table and David joined me after he finish making breakfast. We ate in a tense silence, which had unfortunately become a regular occurrence.

Shortly after breakfast we left and David drove me to work. On the way I started feeling a little short of breath, but that wasn’t a new development.

“You alright?” Asked David, noticing me breathing heavy.

“It should pass...” I said, though when I glanced over at him and my heart started to flutter. It almost felt like when we first started to date. Despite feeling quite uncomfortable in most other ways, I smiled and hoped that was a sign that my condition was starting to subside.

By the time we made it to work, that flutter had started turning into arousal! It had been been several days since I’d felt that, so that was very welcome, even if the timing was less than convenient.

“I’ll be back to pick you up,” David said, dropping me off. As I was leaving his truck I almost got back in and told him to take me home! However, with a fair bit of effort I thanked David for the ride and closed the door.

As he drove away I braced myself for the usual heart break, but instead of the expected dull ache, it felt as if I was kicked in the stomach! Doubling over, I fought to catch my breath for at least a minute.

“Hey, are you alright?” Asked a familiar voice and I forced myself upright. I turned and saw Jenna with a look of concern on her face.

“I-I’ll be fine, thank you,” I replied, but with the way my voice was wavering she didn’t seem convinced.

“You sure?” She asked and I took a deep breath before answering.

“Yes, I’m sure.”

“Ok...” Jenna said skeptically. “I’ll see you inside.” She went into the store, and after a few more deep breaths to calm myself I did the same.

On my way to the time clock I started noticing a pungent smell, and it was getting stronger by the second!

“Ugh, that’s nasty!” I turned and groaned when I saw Tiffany. She was hanging up clothes with one hand and made a show of holding her nose with the other. “You need to take a shower or something because you stink!” I ignored her snottiness and left, but after another minute of the smell lingering I gasped as I realized that she was right! I quickly made my way to the bathroom, managing to avoid any customers. When I arrived I splashed some water on my face, but it did little to reduce the burning feeling that somehow getting even stronger!

Out of nowhere, my mind turned to David, and my knees almost buckled as my breathing got even heavier!

“What’s wrong with me!?” I cried into the mirror. Supporting myself on the counter I managed to stand upright again and felt a wetness between my legs. After shambling into a stall, I reached under my skirt and felt my underwear. Not only was it soaked, but when I held my fingers in front of my face the smell got much stronger ... and I suddenly knew exactly what was going on.

I pulled out my phone and called Sara, and desperately hoped she would answer. Thankfully, my hope was not in vain.

“Hi, Ruth. What’s going on? I thought you were supposed to be at work.”

“I am at work, but I can’t stay...” I gasped.

“Why? What’s wrong?”

“ ... I’m in heat,” I whimpered.

“Oh... OH!” Exclaimed Sara.

“It’s in full force. I can hardly stand, and I ... smell! There’s no way I can work like this!” I sobbed.

“Ok. I’ll call the supervisor and tell her that I’ll be taking your shift because of an emergency. You get David to pick you up so you can ... have your way with him, or his way with you, or whatever!” She said very quickly.

“Thank you, so much.”

“Don’t worry about it. You just do what you need to do...” there was silence on the line for a moment. “And try to have a good time!” She added with a laugh and hung up before I could respond. Without any further delay I called David.

“Hey sweetheart, what’s up?” He asked, confusion evident in his voice.

“I need you to pick me up, now,” I said quickly.

“Um, ok. Is something wrong?”

“We’ll talk when we get home.”

“I’ll be right there!” David hung up and I checked the time. It was normally just over a ten minute drive from the apartment to work, but I planned on staying safely in the bathroom until David was due to arrive.

While I waited I sat on the toilet to try to sop up the small torrent of my leaking fluids, but the bathroom tissue wasn’t substantial enough, to make any headway. However, it kept me occupied for the few minutes I had to wait, and before long I rushed all the way out of the store, making sure to use the aisles that I knew got less customer traffic.

Somehow I’d managed to time my exit to right when David arrived, and when I saw him I almost swooned! My body knew my mate and knew that I needed him! I got in the truck without even waiting for him to finish pulling over.

“Is everything alright?” He asked and I glanced over toward him for a moment. I forced myself to look the other way and took another deep breath to try to calm down, suppressing the urge to tear his clothes off right then and there!

“Just drive, please,” I said quietly.

“Ok...” I could tell he was getting worried, but I was in no state to talk and he thankfully didn’t ask any more questions.

As David drove off my heart started pounding in my ears. The smell of my arousal was overpowering, but when I risked a glance at David he somehow didn’t even seem to notice!

After what seemed like forever we finally arrived back at our apartment. I rushed inside without even waiting for David, and gripped the back of the couch as my blood continued pounding in my ears.

“Alright, so what’s going on?” Asked David when he caught up. His voice was full of concern, but I hardly noticed and didn’t even bother answering at first. Instead I hiked up the front of my skirt and desperately yanked his hand between my legs! The feel of his fingers on me overloaded my senses and I stumbled forward with a whimper.

“Whoa!” Exclaimed David with a groan as he struggled to support my weight. “You’re roasting ... a-and soaked!”

“I’m in heat...” I whispered and he gasped. “I don’t know how you couldn’t smell my arousal.” He helped steady me back on my hooves.

“I don’t smell much of anything, remember?” David said with a nervous chuckle and I groaned, having forgotten that little detail. He brought his wet fingers to his nose, and after taking a big sniff his eyes shot open. “I can smell that though...” He licked his finger and I found the sight of him somehow enjoying my scent so arousing that I lurched forward again, barely managing to avoid completely collapsing on him once more! “I get the general idea, but is there anything else I need to know?”

“I need my bull,” I slurred with my lips against his ear. “Take me, use me ... and don’t be gentle...”

“I see,” he murmured, “Ok.” A second later he roughly turned me around and forcefully pushed me to the bedroom! With a final shove I found myself bent over the side of the bed with my face in the sheets, and my butt in the air. In the back of my mind I was vaguely aware of how humiliating being forced into the position should have been, but I was drowning in arousal and paid no heed.

Not even bothering to remove my skirt, David reached under the garment and aggressively yanked my soaked panties to the floor. Then he gently ran his fingers through the the fur of my rump and I shuddered while the anticipation started to drive me insane!

“Don’t tease...” I whimpered.

“I’m not...” David refuted with a low chuckle and I heard him shuffling for a moment. Without warning his tongue plunged deep inside me and I nearly came right then and there! Balling the sheets up in my fists I let out a loud cry.

“Mmmm, Tasty,” David muttered, having withdrawn for a moment, but immediately afterwards he ran his tongue through my folds once more. The excruciating pleasure had me moaning non-stop, and within a minute I was rocked by the most explosive orgasm I’d ever experienced! I came down from my high a few moments later completely out of breath, but despite everything it wasn’t anywhere near enough!

“More...” I pleaded, and David plunged deep into my core without hesitation! I started laughing in relief as my body was finally getting what it needed! It only lasted for a moment though as my mate withdrew and immediately slammed back inside.

“So warm...” David groaned as he started building up speed without sacrificing power.
