“Talking”

‘Thoughts’

The moon was rising high over Megakat City. Most of its Katizens were asleep. It’s silvery glow poured into a small bedroom window at the Megakat Military Salvage Yard. Revealed in its ghostly light were clothing scattered around the room, comic books neatly stacked on a bookshelf and a full sized bed pressed against a wall.

Laying sprawled on the bed was a powerfully built tiger tabby who was breathing heavily and panting. His bedding lay half on the bed and half on the floor. He moaned and twitched in his sleep, a prominent erection tenting his underwear. As his breathing picked up, he stretched his arms out as if to reach for someone in his dreams.

The tiger stripe tom kat known as Chance Furlong a.k.a T-Bone, was having a very familiar erotic dream, one he’d been having nearly every night for several weeks.

It would always start off as a normal kind of dream, one where he, as T-Bone, would be working on the Turbokat or out saving the city as usual. But then it would morph into that moment when he had been alone with Commander Feral in that vault.

And it wasn’t the male illusion, but Feral’s true form...that incredibly alluring female. The insults and anger would change in his dreams to a hot steamy kiss which would lead to even more erotic things.

He would push her to the ground or desk if there was one or any other surface that was handy. Clothing would be removed quickly as things heated up between them. He would fondle Dena’s breasts, both his paws cupping and rolling her nipples between his index fingers and thumbs. Hearing her hiss in pleasure, arching her chest out as a silent plea for more made him hotter. He would continue his kneading of her breasts then lean his head down and begin to use his tongue to lick the areola around one of the nipples while not actually touching it.

Her fingers would be entwined in his fur as she started to stroke and caress his head and ears making him purr loudly as her touches scratched his sensitive spots at the base of his ears. While her other hand would stroke up and down his back stopping from time to time to rub that spot at the base of his tail making his kathood even harder. He would thrust his hips, letting his member rub against her flat stomach hissing his own pleasure.

Once the areas around her nipples had been covered with his saliva he would take one nipple into his mouth sucking like a hungry kitten. His tongue would lick around the nipple and over it till he would let go just to blow air on it making her groan hotly then mew. He would bestow the same attention on the second breast. She would be so hot her hips would bump and rub against his sex.

He groaned as ripples of pleasure ran up his back from her demanding motion. He leaned back to kiss her mouth then neck and work his way down her body as his paws caressed her back and sides till he reached her inner thighs with both paws and tongue.

Parting them, his nose was hit with the heady scent of her arousal making his head spin and member throb. Rumbling in his chest, he parted her thighs gently then put his face close so that he could begin to lick her soft folds that were already dripping for him. He could feel her shake from the waves of pleasure that rushed over her body from his attention.

He increased his attention to her clitoris by using his tongue to swirl around the nub in small circles. Dena cried out in wild abandon, her body shaking and writhing from the extreme pleasure he was giving her. He had to hold down her thighs to keep her from bouncing.

When he had firm control of her, he took two fingers and gently inserted them into her hot channel. Now as he continued to lavish attention with his tongue on her outer clitoral area, his tongue began a thrusting motion.

She shrieked at this new intensity, her fingers gripped his head tightly. Her back arched upward as she tossed her head side to side as the pleasure grew and grew. Dena was reaching the point of no return from T-Bone’s mouth and fingers driving her higher and higher. She couldn’t take anymore and screamed her climax. He stayed where he was even as he felt her inner walls tighten around his fingers as she came.

Removing his fingers he tasted her honey offering, licking up every trace of it and enjoying the wonderful taste. Smacking his lips he moved back up to her face and kissed her deeply. She moaned and returned the kiss, opening her mouth and letting her tongue trace his lips tasting herself. He opened his mouth giving her tongue access. Their tongues met and dueled.

The heat built up again between them. They twirled their tongues one last time before parting, a small string of saliva connecting them for a moment.

In a swift movement she had him laying on his back licking and nuzzling his face before moving down. Her tongue licked his chest as she moved down to his nipple. Her tongued licked over it as her paws moved up and down his sides. She licked his nipple teasingly before taking it into her mouth sucking as one of her paws move to his other nipple twirling it between her index finger and middle finger. He moaned loudly, his own paws reaching and stroking her back up and down stopping at the base of her tail and rubbing it.

She mewed in pleasure, raising her tail a bit but then switched her attention back to him and the other nipple. He hissed in pleasure again as he felt her lick and suck before moving down his washboard abs. Her fingers caressed his chest as she licked and nipped a path down to his groin. He parted his legs allowing her better access to his kathood as it stood up proudly in front of her.

Just as he had done to her, she didn’t touch his member right away, rather she teased for a bit. She drew her claws lightly down each thigh which made him growl and hiss in hot pleasure. Grinning, she then cupped him, rolling his ball sack between her fingers. He sighed and raised his hips, feeling a ripple of delicious tension race up his spine. Pleased at the response she was getting, she finally leaned down and licked and sucked the space between his balls and erection, he shuddered. She could hear him hiss and groan loudly at what she was doing.

His member throbbed painfully as pre-cum began to weep out. His claws clutched at whatever was beneath him and begged her to hurry up. She quit teasing and sat up. Reaching out a paw, she took him in her paw and began a smooth stroking movement up and down, never touching his tip. Her response to his now weeping member was to lick the tip then switch to using her thumb to rub it. He didn’t think he could take much more. He ached to kiss her, clutch her to his body, and bury himself within her hot channel.

She enjoyed his musky scent and hearing him groan and hiss in pleasure. ‘Time to finish this,’ she thought as she swooped down and took him to the hilt. He cried out and bucked nearly choking her. She held his hips much as he had done and began to gently suck and use her tongue to lick as she went up and down on him. He hissed as his pleasure spiraled higher and higher until his sack tightened and his member swelled even bigger before finally roaring his climax.

She lapped and sucked every bit of his offering up, cleaning him completely. She let him go with a little pop and a kiss to the tip in parting. She crawled back up to his face so that she could kiss him and he could taste himself in her mouth. T-Bone moaned into the kiss as he had Dena lay side by side. As they rested, their paws continued to stroke and caress each other as they traded gentle kisses and nuzzles, both purring and rumbling in their chests in pleased satiation.

It wasn’t long before they were ready for another round. This time though, he flipped her onto her stomach then raised her hips. Smiling warmly, she raised her tail welcoming him. He growled lustfully as he laid on top of her and slid home into her waiting wet sex. They groaned in unison when their bodies joined. They stilled, savoring the moment before she wiggled her hips signaling her readiness. He groaned in response.

He pulled all the way out except for the tip then thrust deeply into her. She mewed out loud. Panting in excitement, T-Bone repeated that for a few more times before picking up the pace. He gripped her hips and set up a rapid rhythm.

The pleasure built in a shockwave of pleasurable waves as they moved closer and closer to the end. They were panting and sweating heavily as he thrust harder and faster into her. He leaned completely on her and wrapped his arms around her body as their climax reached out to them. He groaned as he felt her inner walls begin to tighten around him. Seconds later she clamped down on him squeezing hard. She screamed her climax with him only moments behind.

His own roaring awakened him from the dream. He lay dazed, panting, and sticky. His body still trembled from his release. After a moment, he was recovered enough to sit up and hiss in disgust at his messy state.

“Crud! Not again!” Chance said getting out of bed to remove his boxers.

He was even more unhappy to smell the scent of rutting in the air. Grunting he tossed his boxers into his laundry basket then went to his dresser for a new pair. Putting them on, Chance turned and left his room.

The dreams had been harmless at first, just images of Dena and him in the vault but over time they became more erotic. He started it by wanting her more than she wanted him. She resisted his attentions but gradually she stopped resisting until they were doing it every time he fell asleep. They were pleasant at first but then they began to become more intense and realistic.

He found himself wanting her not just when he was asleep but when he was awake. He couldn’t understand why this obsession with Feral was happening. She was beautiful, for sure, but she was still the Commander for Crud sake!

“Man, I wish I knew what was going on! I’ve never been so obsessed with a she-kat this badly before and the dreams...!” Chance said out loud, shaking his head in confused dismay. He’d reached the kitchen and retrieved a can of milk from the fridge.

Opening the can, Chance took a deep drink trying to drown out the last of the dream. He let his mind drift back to what Dena had said about herself and her kind. Because of that encounter, he had done some research on the Iriomkats. It turned out they were a fairly peaceful race that only used their deadly abilities to protect their mates, kits and themselves from harm. He’d seen nothing about a Kat dying from the type of energy they used and since they no longer used that ability anyway, according to the reports he’d read anyway, he wondered why they continued to hide themselves from Katkind.

‘Maybe they’ve been hiding so long they can’t or won’t risk a repeat of what happened to them before and still don’t feel safe.’ He thought musingly, dumping the can in the trash. Whatever the reason, he had to keep their secret. It made him sad to think Katkind had treated the Iriomkats so badly, enough that they wouldn’t come out of hiding even now, centuries later. Sighing Chance headed back upstairs to his room, hoping this time he could get some sleep.

Unknown to him, Dena had found herself waking up from the very same dream. Grumbling under her breath she got out of bed, took off her panties and undershirt, and took them to her bathroom to toss in the laundry basket.

“Damn dreams!” Dena said her nose picking up her aroused scent.

She understood why the dreams were happening. The empathy link between her and T-Bone was forming but it wouldn’t be complete till she and T-Bone actually mated during her heat cycle.

Sighing in frustration, she headed back to bed but not before putting on a new set of under things. Crawling back into bed, she lay staring up at the ceiling. She was grateful the weeks had passed without a major emergency that would have brought the SWAT Kats. She didn’t think she could handle being near him right now.

She sighed and rolled over, her mind remembering how he smelled. His scent was a heavy male musk mixed with jet fuel and a dash of various metals. She moaned at the memory and could feel her body responding once more. Realizing what was happening, Dena snapped her eyes open.

‘Kat’s Alive! Stop thinking about him! It will only bring you trouble!’ Dena told herself firmly. Sighing deeply Dena closed her eyes and tried to make her mind blank so that she could get some much needed sleep.

In the early morning, Demon woke to clouds covering the dawn sky. It looked like more rain was in the forecast. He loved the rain, it always seemed to wash everything that was wrong away. Giving the world a fresh, clean look and smell.

He climbed out of bed and went to the window. He stared out at the gathering clouds and watched as the sky got darker. He opened the window and stuck out his arm. He could feel the static electricity raised by the coming storm. He could tell it would be at least a couple of hours before it actually rained.

With the house no longer needing repairs, Demon closed the window. With the house no longer needing repairs he was free to return to bed and catch a little more sleep. He would need it since he was scheduled to work tonight at the bar.

Zachary had told him there would be another meeting tonight concerning the killings by the rogue Iriomkat. The hidden gathering room would be packed with his kind. He was looking forward to seeing more of his kind after being in close confines with those disgusting Kats.

‘Not much longer now. All I have to do is find like-minded Iriomkats and convince them that we would make better rulers of this world than those worthless animals. That it isn’t right that we hide while they run everything.’ Demon thought with burning hatred then sighed and fell into a light sleep.

He woke a few hours later, hungry. Putting on a t-shirt and a pair of old jeans, Demon made his way to the kitchen. He started to make breakfast when he realized it was nearly lunch and made a sandwich with milk instead. When he finished, he cleaned up a bit then decided to go out, needing a bit of fresh air and exercise.

He strolled along the sidewalk in his neighborhood, which he was pleased to note was quiet this time of day because most Kats were at work. He soon reached a familiar spot, it was a small park where his mother used to take he and Dena to play.

Smiling a bit, he crossed the street to the park, wanting to see the old play ground. He saw the swing sets, jungle gym and sand box and watched as some kittens played. He took a seat on a nearby bench and lay back with his arms stretched out along the top of it. He sat there a long while and watched as mothers and sometimes fathers took their kittens home. He closed his eyes and let his mind drift. A warm memory swam to the surface. It had been a hot summer day and he and Dena had come here to play. Their mother had bought them ice cream.

Sighing, he let the images of the past fade then opened his eyes. A pair of grey eyes met his when he looked around. A she-kat around his age gave him a flirting smile and a wave. Keeping his face cold and remote, he held in his growl of disgust and got up and left. He knew giving an interested she-kat the cold shoulder would discourage them from bothering him. He hated it when they flirted with him. The only one that had ever mattered in his life was his lost mate. No one else would ever replace Amy.

The storm had moved in and it was pouring when Club Imri closed early for the night. They told their Kat patrons that there was a leak in the roof that needed repairing. Very quickly the club was emptied of Kats and the Iriomkats soon began arriving.

The hidden room was packed with as many Iriomkats that could attend this special meeting. The room hummed with multiple voices as they waited for the Elders to arrive. In a far corner of the room, Dena, Demon, Zachary, and Rick sat together and discussed what they had found out about the rogue, the evidence found at the scenes, and what was being done to find the culprit.

Dena wasn’t happy about the meeting. They didn’t have much to go on, which would please Oliver to no end. It was just too soon in the investigation to have anything concrete to say. Oliver would jump all over that and say that Dena had jumped the gun. She really didn’t need him to have more ammunition to use against her.

Demon could feel his sister’s tension and nerves. He laid a comforting paw on along her shoulders and gave the far one a gentle squeeze and a nonverbal smile of commiseration. She gave him a wane smile in return.

“It’ll be alright, Dena. Just present it the best you can. There’s nothing you can do about their reactions to what you have to say.” Zachary said encouragingly, knowing just what she was thinking.

“Thanks. Zachary...Ricky you ready?” Dena asked putting her papers in order again.

“Ready. Just signal us to let us know when to give our reports.” Rick reassured her with a smile.

Dena nodded looking up to see the Elders file in, taking their seats. She took a deep breath to further calm her nervous tension.

“Dena Feral, please come up and give us your findings.” Elder Serena called out loudly to be heard. As soon as she spoke the room went completely silent.

Gripping the reports in her paw, Dena got up and walked to the lectern set before the Elders. Zachary and Rick coming up behind her to stand. Setting the report down and opening it, she looked up at the five Elders; Serena Elrice, Oliver Brow, followed by a black kat with white markings on his face and paws with yellow eyes his name was Roy Cochrane, next was Jade Hughes a calico female with jade green eyes then David Willows a gray tabby with swirls and possessing one blue eye and one green. All their eyes were watching her, Zachary and Rick.

“These are the reports from the investigating officer and CSI. Unfortunately, we were unable to identify the rogue nor have there been any leads as to his or her whereabouts. I...” Dena began to say before being interrupted by Oliver.

“Then you have nothing to show us?” He snapped rudely. “How do we know this rogue is real? It could simply be that Hard Drive character is doing all of this.” He growled ominously down at her.

“It doesn’t fit Hard Drive’s M.O. which is firmly established and on record. He is a known techno thief. None of these victims had anything to do with military secrets. The pictures clearly show something or someone else is responsible. If you…” Dena snapped back coldly but was again cut off.

“I see nothing! Nothing that shows that…!” Oliver spit angrily, but he too was cut off.

“Enough Oliver! We are here to get at the truth about this rogue. All of us decide what’s important or not in this case, not you alone.” Serena said firmly to her colleague.

He wasn’t cowed by the others angry demeanor’s as he blindly stuck to his obstructive stance. “Look at the evidence, Serena! If you can’t see it then you’re blind.” Oliver hissed at her.

“It is you who is blind, Oliver. I can clearly see what Dena is saying. It’s you that refuse to listen.” Roy said picking up a picture and tapping it pointedly.

“Come now, Roy. This is clearly a game of goose! You can’t seriously entertain the idea that there’s a rogue...” Oliver snapped sarcastically at his fellow elder. This time Davie interrupted.

“The evidence clearly points to someone else and we know that Kats don’t possess the ability to use energy as a weapon. The ones that have, use a weapon of some kind, like Hard Drive’s coat. The only other conclusion that can be drawn is that we have a rogue on our paws. We now have to find a way to locate this person as quickly as we can or Katkind will find out about us.” He said firmly, giving Oliver a look full of animosity.

Oliver grunted but said nothing more. This time it was Jade who spoke up. She’d had enough of Oliver’s obstinate behavior and decided to put an end to it.

“Enough! I think we should move on to the hunter’s reports! Based on those, we can determine if the hunt continues.” Jade said irately.

“Elder Jade is right. Let us hear the rest of the reports.” Serena said, grateful to Jade for moving the meeting forward.

Dena stepped to the side as Zachary and Rick stepped forward. Elder Roy nodded to them to begin. Zachary prepared to speak as the Commander of the Hunters. Rick, as his second in command, stood by to add his support if needed.

Zachary avoided looking at Dena, he didn’t want to give Oliver anything more to attack her with. Clearing his throat, he spoke briskly, “All my hunters have been to each of the seven crime scenes. Based on our experience, the investigator and CSI’s reports, there is no doubt in our minds that a rogue is responsible. Unfortunately, we still cannot determine what sex that person is and we don’t know the reason for their attacks on these Kats. The victims seem totally random at this time.”

“What proof is there that this is a possible rogue?” Oliver demanded nastily, staring down at Zachary.

“We were able to collect a cell phone from the crime sense that had recorded the attack on the group of male Kats before the owner himself was killed. The group were just common thugs.” Zachary said triumphantly, giving Oliver a hard stare back.

“Zachary do you have this cell phone with you now?” Jade asked, wanting to see this.

“Yes ma’am.” Zachary said pulling out the cell phone and carrying it up to the stage and handing it to Elder Jade.

“If you would give me your reports, Dena. We’ll take them and this evidence to our chambers and look at it. We’ll be back in a bit and give you our decision on what action to take next.” Elder Serena said ending the session. Dena walked quickly up and handed her file to Elder Serena. She nodded her thanks then she rose to leave, followed by her fellow Elders as they made for a conference chamber located behind the stage.

With a deep sigh of relief, Dena knew it would be awhile before the Elders would return. She had a feeling they would vote to continue the hunt, so she felt justified in relaxing a bit.

Zachary apparently felt the same way because he said, “Everything’s going to be okay. It was plain good luck that we found that cell phone before the CSI Team did. With that as evidence, even Oliver won’t be able to twist the vote.” He came to her side and stroked her arm comfortingly.

The reaction he got wasn’t the one he was normally used to. Dena jerked back from him, slapping his paw and hissing at him. Both Zachary and Rick gaped at her in shocked surprise. Zachary had touched her that way countless times. Her reaction was stunning.

Dena blushed in dismay as she realized why she’d reacted so negatively to Zachary’s friendly touch but she didn’t want to tell them the reason was a certain tabby Kat, so quickly made up a different excuse for her behavior.

“I’m sorry, Zachary! I didn’t mean to snap at you like that. Everything at work has been really crazy plus I have the mayor and deputy mayor breathing down my neck about all this.” Dena said apologetically, hoping they would believe her.

Zachary shook his head. “Don’t apologize. I understand your job can be really stressful, more so when Manx and Briggs are on your case.” He said soothingly.

“Thank you for being so understanding.” She said in relief.

“Dena, what do Mayor Manx and Deputy Briggs know?” Rick asked

“They’re worried about this killer just like everyone else, more so because of how the victims were killed which has the media banging on their doors demanding answers.” Dena said with a sigh.

“Nobody’s made a guess, though?”

“The rumor mill just talks of a killer who likes to use electricity to kill or that its Hard Drive doing this.” She said with a grim smile.

Rick nodded but seemed to be still thinking. Dena saw this and was a bit dismayed that Rick had not joined the enforcers like she had. He’d made up his mind to be a hunter instead. If he had followed her, it was quite possible Jake Clawson and Rick would have become fast friends or bitter enemies because they were both extremely intelligent.

‘Well you win some you lose some that’s how life is.’ She thought philosophically. Suddenly everything went quiet as the door at the back of the stage opened and the Elders stepped out.

“That was fast.” Zachary said as each Elder took their seats.

“About ten minutes. Watch yourself, Dena. Oliver’s going to be royally pissed off at you.” Rick said in concern.

“I always do.” Dena said as Oliver shot her a look that said he was disgusted with her. Dena snorted, like she cared.

Once the Elders were all seated, it was Elder Oliver who stood up with a bland look on his face but his eyes spoke volumes about how he truly felt.

“It has been decided that the search for the rogue will continue. We expect an update on the hunt and a resolution in three weeks of the whole matter.” Oliver said flatly.

“This concludes the special meeting for tonight. Thank you for your attendance. You may all leave.” Elder Serena said in dismissal, standing up to leave herself.

Dena nodded to herself in satisfaction. ‘Now they could do their job without everyone here breathing down their necks. Of course, I still have to deal with the Mayor and Deputy Mayor...oh well.’ She said fatalistically. ‘Now if only Zachary and Rick can find that rogue...’ That thought led her mind to drift to the SWAT Kats.

She wondered if T-Bone could really be trusted to keep her secret...both her true sex and her species. Not only from his partner but other Kats as well. But many weeks had passed and she had heard nothing that would lead her to believe her secret was blown.

That alone assured her that her belief that he was an honest and trustworthy Kat wasn’t misplaced. She had been concerned that he might let something out because of their nasty history but his steadfast adherence to a promise showed his true character. He didn’t let his personal feelings get in the way of his integrity.

His image flashed into her mind again. The handsome powerfully build tabby in his g-suit was quite a good catch especially with his strict code of honor, morals, loyalty, and being extremely brave. All qualities that made him an excellent male to father bright and intelligent kittens.

While she was lost in her thoughts of her mate, Zachary, Rick and Demon, who was now at their sides, noticed the odd dreamy look on her face.

“Hey, sis you okay?” Demon asked wondering what could cause his sister to have such a look.

“Wha…? Oh, it’s nothing! I’m just tired!” Dena said quickly letting her face take a relaxed expression.

“You sure? You had this really giddy look on your face.” Zachary said softly

“Really? Nothing you should worry about, I’m just relieved things are going our way for once.” She said with a shrug then changed the subject. “Anyway, I’ll be seeing you guys on Friday.” Dena said casually.

“Why Friday?” Demon asked as the four made their way out of the club’s secret room.

“Mr. Young is coming to Megakat City tomorrow. He’ll be visiting Manx and Briggs to decide about some business or other. So I have the job of making sure security is tight because every time that Kat visits something always happens.

“Is that so? Well then I guess we better be prepared. What time do we have to get up anyways?” Demon asked nonchalantly. His mind was working furiously. If he could take out Mayor Manx and Deputy Mayor Briggs along with this Mr. Young it would through Megakat City’s government and the Katizens into chaos which would force the enforcers to focus on fixing the mess allowing him time to gather followers. His demonstration would convince those that felt like him about Kats to join with him. Very soon he would have his own small army that could step in to take charge of the city’s government.

“Young will be arriving at seven in the morning. So I need to be at city hall by eight clock.” Dena said annoyed as they stepped out.

“Okay! Go get some sleep then, see you in the morning!” Demon said seeing how tired looking Dena was when a lamppost cast its light over them.

“I will, goodnight guys.” Dena said waving good night to them.

“We really need to catch that rogue fast, Zachary. Dena’s wearing herself out worrying about the city, the SWAT Kats and now this rogue.” Rick said noticing how tired Dena was too.

“I know! I’m doing everything I can. I have hunters on alert and to bring in any Iriomkats that had a history of problems with Kats but so far I come up with nothing!” Zachary said upset he wasn’t making better progress.

“Don’t worry so much Zachary. We’ll catch them soon and everything will go back to the way it was.” Demon said not wanting Zachary o punish himself.

Demon hated having to put his sister and friends through this but this had to be done to insure a brighter future for their kind. No more of this ‘we need to hide or we’ll be enslaved again’ nonsense. Now as long as his plans continued to move forward as well as they were, kat kind would soon be under their control.

“You’re right, Demon. Thanks, hey go head and take the rest of the night off. Things are pretty slow tonight, Rick and I will take over things.” Zachary said warmly.

“You sure? I don’t mind working tonight.” Demon said but Zachary just shook his head. “Alright. I’ll see you tomorrow night. Later.”

With that Demon headed off while Rick and Zachary watched before heading back inside the club. They needed to clean up and close.

Over at the Megakat City Military Salvage Yard, Jake and Chance were down in the hangar working on the Turbokat. Jake was working on the engines while Chance was doing some work on the cyclotrons. Suddenly he heard Chance yelp in pain then curse loudly, followed by the sound of a tool being tossed to the ground angrily.

“Jake, I’m taking five!” Chance said moments later as he passed by his partner.

Jake only shook his head before setting his tool down. He climbed down the ladder and followed Chance path to their kitchen.

“What’s bothering you, buddy?” Jake asked. He noticed that Chance had been very distracted and not getting enough sleep ever since that day he had been trapped with Feral in that vault.

“Nothings bothering me!” Chance snapped in irritation as he opened the fridge almost violently then took out a milk.

“Yes, there is! You’ve been very distracted and tired lately. This is dangerous, Chance. If we’re sent out on a call I need to be able to count on my partner and I can’t if his mind is somewhere else. So cough it up! You’ve been really out of it since you were trapped with Feral.” Jake demanded, concerned Feral might have done or said something that was upsetting his friend.

“Nothing happen! I just haven’t been getting enough sleep.” Chance said, trying to put Jake off.

“Losing some sleep will make any kat a little short-tempered, I know that. But your behavior isn’t like some sleepless kat!” Jake insisted.

“What do you know?!” Chance snapped before taking long gulps of milk.

“Chance, I’m worried! Whatever happened it wasn’t your fault!” Jake said standing his ground.

Chance stopped drinking and stared at Jake for a moment. His friend’s mistaken belief that Feral had done something to him made him burst out laughing. If he told Jake what really happened in that vault, his friend wouldn’t believe him. He was still having trouble believing it himself. But at this moment it tickled his funny bone about the skewed situation he was in. It really wasn’t funny though but it felt good to release some of his tension in a harmless way. It took him a few moments to regain control of himself. When he did, he just shook his head and took another sip of his milk noting his friend’s really worried expression.

“I’m fine, Jake. But you’re right. Something has been bothering me and I just don’t know how to deal with it.” He finally admitted, quietly.

“Tell me, maybe I can help. You know you could always tell me.” Jake said happy that they were finally getting to the problem.

“Well…the dreams I’ve been having...” Chance paused as he tried to organize his thoughts.

“Dreams? That’s it?” Jake asked as if he couldn’t believe his ears.

“Yeah, what did you think it was about?” Chance asked looking at him.

Jake face flushed red then gave a cough, “ N-nothing. So the dreams…what are they about?”

“They are about a she-kat.” Chance sighed.

“Callie again? Chance we….”

“It isn’t Callie! If it was about her, I could deal with it!” Chance said cutting off Jake

“Whoa, okay I get it! Now your dreams about a she-kat that isn’t Callie. So?” Jake asked, getting frustrated by Chance’s short and uninformative answers.

“In my dreams me and this she-kat always end up mating with each other. At first I didn’t mind but now the dreams have become so intense...” Chance stopped unsure if he should say anymore.

“Is she real?” Jake asked in disbelief

“You make it sound as if you don’t believe a word I’m saying.” Chance said getting annoyed by Jake’s attitude.

“Well dreams are nothing more then images and wishful thoughts that the mind moves around into patterns that allow one to make decisions...” Jake started to say before Chance cut him off abruptly.

“She real, Jake.”

“Alright. Tell me more about these dreams.” Jake coaxed. Chance sighed but started at the beginning with the first dream then ended with the one last night.

“Sorry buddy. The only thing I can tell you is that you either really want her or you just want to have a fling with her badly.” Jake said rubbing the back of his neck.

“She and I hate each other. There is no way I could like her.” Chance said quickly not wanting to think of it as a possibility.

“Then it has to be a fling.”

“You sure?”

“I can’t answer that, Chance. Only you can.” Jake said now understanding what was bothering his friend.

“Maybe you’re right. Maybe all I want is a simple fling and nothing more. Thanks, buddy.” Chance said feeling somewhat relived but still not happy with the answer for some reason.

“Sure thing. Now can we head back to the hanger?”

“Yeah, let’s go.”

As the two headed back down to the hangar, Chance began to think of ways to meet Feral. It was dangerous for them to meet in the first place. Not that she couldn’t take care of herself if she had too. It wasn’t her enforcer training either. In that book he’d read on Iriomkats, she wouldn’t even break a sweat taking him down despite how skilled and powerful he was in his own right. Even without their special abilities, they were very strong creatures.

‘Crud all those times Jake and I teased her, she could have done some serious damage to us if she had really wanted to.’ Chance thought in amazement. Fortunately for them, Feral was hiding who she was and had very good control of herself.

Still he really needed to see her privately. Some place where no one would see them. He needed to see if a fling was all he needed to get her out of his system. His mind slipped away again, trying to come up with plans of how to accomplish this. Thinking of her again made him want her badly, her sultry voice crying out her pleasure as he kissed, licked, and nuzzled her, feeling her under him as he took her.

His attention having wavered once more from his task caused him to injure himself again. He cursed his lack of concentration as he rubbed the pain out of his paw.

Hearing Chance cry out again made Jake lean out a little. He saw the sandy colored tabby nursing his wound. Jake shook his head. He didn’t understand it. Chance had been with countless she-kats but this one, whoever she was, had him in a tailspin. Callie never affected him this badly and never to the point where he couldn’t work or sleep.

Jake was truly amazed that some she-kat had his partner so wrapped up. Chance had mentioned he had seen her recently outside a club, dressed in a jean coat with the last two buttons undone with a red shirt that had white claws on the front and wearing low hip jeans topped off with black tennis shoes.

When Jake asked why he didn’t see her then, Chance had said she had been greeted by a chocolate colored tom very warmly and she had returned the affection so he didn’t want to intrude. When Jake tactfully tried to point out the tom might be a boyfriend or mate, Chance just shook his head, saying that it wasn’t and he seemed to know that definitely. Jake still had reservations about that but wisely kept his mouth shut.

Sighing deeply, Jake wondered if this she-kat knew just how much she was affecting Chance. ‘Whoever she is, she must have one heck of a personality.’ Jake thought as he got back to working on the Turbokat.
