“Talking”

‘Thoughts’

Two nights had pass since T-Bone had last seen Dena. He hadn’t wanted this much time to pass but an attack by one of their enemies kept them busy for those nights. The enforced time away gave him more time to think of what he would say to her. He had already planned on seeking her out in her own apartment. She couldn’t avoid him there and wouldn’t have an excuse to leave.

So here he was parking his cyclotron in an alley next to Dena’s apartment building. He set its security system and covered it from view. Using his grappling line in his glovatrix he rappelled to her balcony.

Shooting up to it and catching the railing, quietly vaulting over it. He froze and listened for some minutes but heard no outcry. Moving cautiously, he tried the sliding glass door and found it unlocked. He slide it open slowly. Moving the curtain away carefully, he peered into the living area. Only a single lamp was on with no sign of Dena. With a sigh of relief, he stepped into the room and closed the door behind him. He froze and listened again. This time his ears picked up the sound of water running.

‘She must be taking a shower.’ He thought, blushing at the image of Dena naked in the shower that jumped into his mind. Shaking his head to clear it, he moved to the bedroom.

On the night stand by the bed a picture frame caught T-Bone’s eye. Walking over to it, he picked the picture frame up and studying the image under the small night lamp. It was a picture of Dena, Zachary and Rick standing in a close hugging group in front of Megakat High School.

Dena was in her true form smiling for the camera with Zachary and Rick. The strange thing about it was that T-Bone realized Dena was smiling for real. ‘I wonder if she’ll ever smile like that for me.’ He thought wistfully as he set the picture frame back down.

Sighing he realized that he truly knew nothing about Dena at all. The whole time he had been around her, she had been in her male persona as Commander Ulysses Feral. A cold, hard-nosed, by-the-book leader that he had never got along with before he was thrown out of the enforcers much less afterwards when he became a SWAT Kat.

‘Who was this she-kat really?’ He wondered. What he did know now was that she was really Dena Feral, Iriomkat. Her true mission: To protect and serve her people as well as protect the Kats she had sworn to defend when she became Commander. She also had two friends who she cared deeply about and who cared for her. He would have to learn who this person was and forget the persona he thought he’d known all these years.

Suddenly the shower stopped running, interrupting his musing. He made to leave the room and was only halfway between the bed and the hall door when the bathroom door swung open. Steam poured out as Dena stepped through drying her hair with a towel and wearing nothing but a silky pair of underwear.

When she raised her head she froze as she caught sight of T-Bone standing there gaping at her. Her eyes blazed with fury.

“What the hell are you doing in my bedroom?” She hissed in outrage, hurriedly wrapping the towel around her torso.

“I…well…” T-Bone stammered, completely mortified and unable to think of what to say that didn’t sound stupid.

Infuriated, Dena saw red. Without warning, she raised her paw and made a small ball of energy in her palm and shot it at T-Bone sending him flying through the doorway and into the hall. T-Bone cried out in shock but not pain as he landed on his back. The energy ball had not been that powerful so he was not hurt more like surprised. He lay still for some moments trying to gather his wits.

The door to the bedroom slammed in his face. He slowly got to his feet and headed to the living room and sat on the couch to wait for her.

Meanwhile, Dena fumed as she searched a drawer for a bra. Putting it on, she added an over large enforcer t-shirt and pj shorts.

In the living room, T-Bone tried to think of something to repair the damage he’d unwittingly done. ‘This wasn’t how I planned for this evening to go.’ He sighed ruefully. He felt mildly ashamed to have been caught in her bedroom without an invitation. Suddenly the door down the hall opened with a bang and Dena stormed into the room.

“Explain!” Dena snapped, standing rigidly before his seated form.

He spread his paws in supplication and said, “I’m sorry for invading your bedroom. It was thoughtless of me. As for being here, we really need to talk and this was the only place I knew you couldn’t avoid me. I’m not leaving till we do.”

“Really, as if there was anything to talk about. You made it very clear you don’t like the thought of us being mates. It’s just as well since it couldn’t have worked out anyway. Now go home and leave me be!” She said in a huff.

T-Bone shook his head and stood up. “I told you I’m not leaving until we get this straight. I’m tired of you pushing me away. Why are you doing that?” He demanded.

Dena frowned at him in annoyance. “What more do I have to say? You don’t want us to be mates that’s a given. Besides, why do you care? Our prior history proves we can hardly stand each other, have different views on how the law should be upheld and I don’t care for males who have a thing for the Deputy Mayor.” She finished dryly.

Believing that put an end to things, Dena turned her back on him, keeping a tight rein on her emotions. She didn’t want him knowing how much saying that hurt her deeply but it was for the best. She simply could not be involved with him right now.

“Those excuses won’t work anymore! Too many things have changed for them to apply and leave the Deputy Mayor out of this. Those aren’t the real reasons you are pushing me away and I want to know what is!” He insisted, reaching out and turning her back around to face him.

“Why are you doing this? Why are you acting like you even care?” Dena asked angrily, her eyes flashing with fire.

“I care because I’m learning that I want to know who you are not who you are pretending to be. Everything you throw at me is based on our prior history before I learned you were female. That has no bearing on the here and now. I feel all the emotions you do through our growing bond. There’s no way I can just shut them off now.” T-Bone said strongly, pulling her closer to him. “Dena, I want to know you not Commander Feral but you and I can’t do that if you keep pushing me away. Now tell me what the real reason is!” He said, shaking her a little.

“I tell you it doesn’t matter!” She snapped trying to pull away.

“Well, I guess I’ll just have to convince you that’s not true.” He said huskily as he pulled her tightly against him and gave her a deeply passionate kiss.

It was a full, no holds barred kiss that had her closing her eyes as all her controls on her emotions faded away in his strong arms and emotions. T-Bone gave an inward sigh of relief as he felt Dena give herself to him. The bonding process still confused him but he couldn’t deny that the singing emotions they were sharing were sending them soaring.

He slipped his arms to her waist and rubbed himself against her warm heat. She moaned as a throbbing sensation woke up between her legs. Their bodies fitted together like a perfect puzzle as their tongue dueled. His nose picked up her growing arousal sending flaming heat to his groin.

‘Kat alive! Her scent!’ He moaned as he broke the kiss causing her to meow in complaint. He buried his nose in her neck taking in more of her scent. It was intoxicating and he couldn’t get enough of it. He nipped her neck causing her to gasp and moan. She dug her claws into his chest G-suit to hold him closer. She so ached to feel his fur beneath her fingers.

Excited and aroused, T-Bone pulled back from her so that he could remove his G-suit. As he was removing his t-shirt, Dena pushed him backward to the couch impatiently, helping him remove his shirt. She straddled his hips hissing with pleasure as she rubbed her wet heat against that cloth covered male hardness. He groaned at her urgent movements against his kathood that sent jolts of pleasure through him.

Anxious to touch her, he pulled her t-shirt off and tossed it aside then cupped her breasts still encased in her bra. She mewed with pleasure at his touch causing her to move her hips more insistently trying to relieve the growing ache between her legs.

T-Bone moaned, arching his back as shock waves of pleasure raced through him. They rubbed in unison faster and harder causing their pleasure to spiral higher and higher till they flew together over the edge. T-Bone roared as he spilled his seed within his boxers and Dena screamed her own climax. Their bodies trembled for several seconds then went limp.

Dena lay sprawled atop the brawny tabby. He raised a paw and caressed her back slowly. Their mixed scents smelled wonderful and made him desire her even more.

“Do you wish to take this further?” T-Bone murmured softly, wanting to be sure she agreed to this and wouldn’t regret it later.

Dena laid there thinking. Her head was clear for the moment even though her body desired more of him. Did she want to take this to the next level? She was in turmoil about what had just happened and was concerned about what would happen between them if she allowed this to continue. It was so hard to think with his scent filling her nose and feeling his arms around her that brought a comfort that she had not felt in a long time. In the end, that was what decided her.

“Yes, I do.” Dena said finally.

“You sure? I don’t want you to feel you have to.” T-Bone asked again, making her certain of her decision.

“It’s fine. Unless you think you can’t handle me.” Dena said hiding her smirk though T-Bone could hear it.

“Oh, yeah? I’ll show you.” T-Bone said, his voice going deeper making her shiver.

Dena gasp as T-Bone rubbed the spot just above her tail while stroking her back. He watched her face as she responded to his many erotic touches. He’d never had a female as responsive as Dena was to his touch it fired him up. His cock filled with heat once more as she writhed above him.

“Wrap your legs around me.” T-Bone ordered huskily as he stood up, holding her up with his palms under her buttocks. As she complied, he carried her back to her bedroom and kicked the door closed.

The night passed swiftly for T-Bone and Dena as they coupled through the night. It wasn’t until the dawn’s early light shone through the partly open curtains, that Dena awakened and found her self in T-Bone embrace. His arms were wrapped around her body as his legs were entwined with hers and their tails were in a twist.

Sighing, she moved closer to his body wanting to enjoy his body warmth a little longer. But it was not to be as a insistent and loud ringing broke the silence. Cursing, Dena turned to her night stand and hurriedly shut off her alarm clock before it could awaken the tabby. T-Bone simply grunted but didn’t wake. He did, however, reach out in his sleep and pull her back against him, his nose nuzzling her neck as he slept on.

Dena sighed blissfully, falling back to sleep. It was some hours later that a familiar ringing sound penetrated Dena’s slumber. She jolted awake and made to get out of the bed but had trouble getting her still sleeping mate to release her. Tickling him behind the ear finally made him open his arms and she was able to make her escape. She ran down the hall to the living room and snatched up her phone.

“Feral here.” Dena answered, making sure to change her voice.

“Sir, well you be coming in today?” Asked her faithful Sergeant.

Dena paused a moment before answering, “ No, I was just about to call. I’m not feeling to well today so have Steele take command.”

“Yes, sir. I’ll see tomorrow then.” The Sergeant said briskly then broke the connection.

She sighed, hung up the phone then stretched. Now completely awake she turned and headed back to her room. She found T-Bone still sleeping and couldn’t help letting a warm smile flit across her face. T-Bone looked so peaceful when he slept. She shook her head to clear away her thoughts then taking a deep breath she made for the bathroom.

The sound of the shower finally woke T-Bone. Blinking awake, he lay still, taking in the fact that he wasn’t in his own room and remembering who he’d spent the night with then rolled to his side and noted the closed bathroom door.

Pushing the bed covers off, T-Bone got off the bed and stretched. He spotted his boxers and was putting them back on when his stomach growled hungrily. ‘Time for breakfast’ He thought cheerfully as he made for the kitchen.

He’d just finished making a wonderful food for them both when Dena strolled in wearing a new large shirt and pj pants. She stared at him in surprise but said nothing as she took a seat at her kitchen table. T-Bone kept his silence as well as he placed a full plate before her then one at his place before taking a seat and digging in. She began to eat her food, a pleased expression on her face at how good it tasted. They ate in easy silence, surprisingly comfortable with each other.

Once finished, Dena gathered the dishes and placed them in the sink to do wash later. She turned around with her back against the counter and stared at T-Bone for a long moment. T-Bone eyed her patiently, waiting for her to make the first move.

“You want to know why I’ve been pushing you away?” She asked simply.

“Well, yeah.” T-Bone said continuing to hold her eyes with his.

Dena turned her head away and stared into the distance as she spoke, “Everyone whose ever been close to me leaves. My parents left, then my brother and some of my friends. So, in time, will you.” She said with certainty.

T-Bone frowned at that statement. He wasn’t certain how he should respond to it so he waited to see if there was more. She turned back to him but her eyes were shadowed by her bangs.

“Serena told you that something terrible had happened in my kittenhood, right?” She asked but hurried on before he could respond. “My parents were murdered by Kats. I was the one to find their bodies.” She swallowed hard trying to keep her emotions from spilling out but was failing as always. ‘Why does this always happen when I talk about this? Even after all the years?’ She thought helplessly. “Then my brother was taken from me and placed in a horrible foster home, I couldn’t find him until he found me recently. I just can’t take those I love and care for leaving me.” She managed to finish.

T-Bone felt all her pain, sorrow, loathing, and the heavy feeling of abandonment which was the strongest coming through their bond. ‘So that’s what’s been eating her? No wonder she’s afraid to make attachments.’ He thought in sympathy for her anguish. ‘Now I know what I need to do.’

He stood up from the table and pulled her into a comforting hug. Dena growled and tried to push him away but he wouldn’t allow it and held her tighter. He would never let her go. He realized that now, he just had to convince her too.

“I’m not going anywhere.” T-Bone murmured gently, nuzzling her face.

“You say that now but you will leave me when the time comes. That’s why I told you to stay away.” Dena said, refusing to believe him. She would only end up in pain if she let him in.

T-Bone was about to say something more but was interrupted by the phone. Dena pushed on his chest and this time he let her go. He released a breath he’d been holding as he wondered what he could do to convince her he wasn’t going to leave her as all the others had.

Suddenly, he heard Dena shout from the living room. He quickly walked there to see what was wrong.

“He discovered what?!” Dena shouted, her voice sounding completely shocked and off guard.

“Dena, what’s wrong?” T-Bone asked, coming to stand near her.

She waved him off as she listened to the voice on the other end of the phone then she slammed the phone down and grabbed her remote for her TV. She flicked it on to reveal a Kats Eye News report. Ann Gora was standing before the doors of the Enforcer Building and standing beside her was Steele. ‘What the heck is going on?’ T-Bone thought as he watched the drama unfold.

“This is Ann Gora of Kats Eye News. We are standing in front of Enforcer Headquarters with Lt. Commander Steele who has made a shocking discovery that could very well change the course of history for all of kat kind.” She announced to the audience then turned to Steele and pushed the microphone in his face. “Lt Commander Steele just what have you discovered?” She asked.

“I have incontrovertible proof that a species of kat known as the Iriomkats, thought to be extinct, are in reality still alive and living among us.” Steele said sounding quite smug but there was a fearful note in his voice as well.

“And you have been able to confirm this?” Ann asked skeptically.

“Yes, I have. I…” Steele began to answer but was cut off when Dena flicked the TV off abruptly.

She tossed the remote on the table then hugged herself. T-Bone saw fear, dread, and concern in her eyes. Unexpectedly, she turned and ran to her bedroom. He followed her and found her getting dressed in a hurry.

“Where are you going?” T-Bone asked

“I have to talk with Zachary.” Dena said not looking at him.

At the mention of the other male in Dena’s life, T-Bone felt a flash of anger and jealousy to his utter shock. He knew Zachary was her best friend and an Iriomkat so it wasn’t unusual that she wanted to seek his advice. He really shouldn’t be feeling this way especially after last night but he couldn’t seem to shake it.

“I’m coming with you.” He said firmly, moving to get dressed himself.

“No! You can’t come!” Dena said turning to stop him.

“Why not?”

“Because it’s not your problem! Stay out of this!” She insisted.

T-Bone growled, “ Since when do I ever stay out of things?”

Dena grit her teeth at his stubbornness, “ Then how about staying out of it just this once for me?”

“No.” T-Bone said firmly.

“This isn’t your problem nor your species to worry about!” Dena said standing her ground.

“It is now! You’re a part of it and so I am.” T-Bone said not giving Dena any more time to argue, “Come on, we can get to the club faster with the cyclotron.”

Dena looked at the tiger tom then sighed, “ Alright, let’s go.”

Across the city Elder Serena was in her living room watching the same Kats Eye News report. Her mate, Jake, was watching too, shaking his head and reaching out for the remote and shutting off the set.

“It’s started.” Jake said not taking his eyes off the blank TV.

Serena nodded, “Yes, it has.”

“I know you want to tell her.” Jake said putting his arms around her shoulders.

“I not going to say anything, Jake, just point her in the right direction and hope for the best. What about you?” Serena asked.

“Hmm…I need to talk with Rick, otherwise when the me from this time asks Rick for help he won’t refuse.” Jake said thinking on how to convince Rick to help.

“You don’t think he’ll help?” She asked in concern.

“Dena is his friend and he won’t do anything he thinks she wouldn’t agree to.” Jake explained.

Serena become quiet for a moment then said, “Maybe it isn’t you who convinces Rick to work with this time period’s Razor...but Dena herself.”

“How that?” Jake asked curiously.

“Rick will listen to what you have to say but he won’t do what you say since he doesn’t know you well enough.” Serena explained quietly.

“True. Then you’ll have to talk to Dena about this. You could tell her to agree to work with Razor.” Jake said thoughtfully.

Serena nodded, “I will.”

Suddenly the phone began to ring and Serena shook her head at it, “ That will be for me. I’ll be working late tonight.” Serena said getting up.

Jake watched as his mate answered the phone knowing it was most likely one of the other Elders calling to ask what they should do now. He knew Serena was in for a tough night with all that was going to happen.
