"Did you need any help with getting the entrees ready?" Alex asked as he adjusted his polo in the bedroom mirror. He couldn't help but notice how plain his outfit looked, which ironically represented him well. Alex had always been the unassuming figure in the corner, listening and observing while other mingled. He watched as Chloe glided toward him in a shimmering, golden silk dress. Her black fur shimmered in the bedroom light, and gold chains dangled from her neck.
"The food is already taken care of. We should be all set for Edward and Jessica!" Chloe answered with a smile.
"It's weird to think we're going to be doing this," Alex said, looking at her as he sat on their bed. Chloe's eyes dropped to the ground as she smiled shyly.
"I don't know, it seems like it could be some good old fashion fun. Edward is a good guy. He's been a good friend to use for a few years now. Plus, you and I have been talking about being more adventurous..." Chloe replied, looking at Alex. "You still want to do this, right?"
"I think so. I guess I'm just nervous. But you're right, Edward is the perfect person to try this with. I just don't want to make things weird at work. Politics can get so messy without involving something like this," Alex said.
"I totally get it. But he assured us we would take it slow at first. He and his wife wanted to keep it to kissing and touching. So no penetration, no blowjobs. Honestly, that seems like the perfect baby step for us. It's simple, it's exciting, and most importantly, it's with people that we trust. If I were being honest... I've been looking forward to this," Chloe let out a laugh, covering her mouth as she did. Her light-hearted attitude was infectious, and Alex couldn't help but smile.
"You're in a way better mood about this than when we last talked," Alex remarked. "What changed?"
"I'm... in heat," Chloe said as she played with her white hair.
"Wait, really?" Alex said.
"What are the odds, right? Of all weeks for it to happen," Chloe said.
Alex knew this was something all vixen went through. Knowing that a vixen became highly aroused regularly was a trait that made countless men seek vixen as partners, and Alex was no exception. In fact, he was certain it was the reason that Edward had become so interested in Chloe.
"Did you honestly forget that it was happening this week? Or was this part of your plan?" Chloe teased.
"No, I honestly lost track of it. I guess I don't keep a close enough eye on those kinds of things," Alex admitted.
"You mean to tell me you haven't noticed me jumping on your cock several times a day this week?" Chloe said playfully.
"I mean, I guess I don't question a good thing when it's happening," Alex replied, as he let out an uneven laugh. Alex sat down on their bed as he rubbed his neck. He looked through their bedroom window, eyes fixated on the street lights of their over-packed suburb.
"Something on your mind?" Chloe asked.
Alex looked back at Chloe. "We've come a long way, haven't we?"
Chloe nodded, a look of concern coming over her face. "We sure have. Never in a million years did I think we would make it planet side."
"But we did," Alex replied.
"We did," Chloe repeated. The room fell silent. The sound of their antique clock's steady ticking hung in the air. Alex's hands clenched the quilted blanket resting on their used queen-sized bed. Chloe gently placed her hand over his.
"Hey, what's going on?" Chloe asked. Alex let out a sigh and shook his head, grabbing for Chloe's hand.
"Well, to be honest, it kind of makes me nervous," Alex admitted.
As he spoke, Alex recalled his talks with Edward, and how insistent he'd been about meeting up this week for their special night. It made Alex wonder if Edward somehow knew about Chloe's cycle. It was an absurd thought, and the more Alex thought about it, the more he convinced himself it was paranoia. Alex had met his fair share of cheaters and fake friends who were trying to fuck Chloe behind his back, but Edward had never given a sign of being that kind of guy. Since they first met, Edward had always been open and honest about his enjoyment of the swinging lifestyle. How he felt consent and trust mattered above all else. Edward was safe, he could be trusted, and unless he and Chloe had been talking, there was no way he could've known she was in heat.
"Wait, you're nervous about tonight?" Chloe asked.
"Well, before it was more just butterflies, but now? Knowing you're in heat? Yeah, I'm nervous, especially with a guy like Edward."
"What's that supposed to mean?" Chloe asked. Her tone was more curious than defensive. She continued to stroke Alex's hand as she sat beside him. She pressed in close, and Alex's heart lept as he felt her large breasts press against his arm.
"I guess I'm afraid things could get a little out of hand? I know how you get when you're in heat and Edward... well... he's not shy about expressing how much he enjoys sex," Alex responded. Chloe nodded, her hand moving away from his and gently sliding up his thigh, stopping at his groin.
"That's kind of the fun part, though, isn't it?" She asked as she stroked Alex's cock.
"Jesus Chloe," Alex whispered. It felt like electricity was coursing through Alex's veins as her hands moved expertly along his shaft.
"You don't have to worry about Edward, Alex. I'm just not into him like that. I never have been. You are the only one for me," Chloe assured. She drew close to his neck and kissed it gently, "You're getting so big, Alex..." Alex grabbed Chloe's waist and pulled her close, opening his legs so her hands could move more freely.
"We've got our boundaries in place, too. It should be fine," Alex said, more to himself than Chloe. She continued kissing his neck, eventually biting it gently. Alex shivered when he felt her fangs pull against his skin.
"I'm all yours, Alex. I'm only doing this because you wanted to. We can stop whenever you want," she assured him.
"You are going to blow his socks off," Alex said as his hand slid up to Choe's breast. He squeezed it tightly, his cock throbbing as his fingers sunk into her soft cleavage. Chloe pulled away from his neck and stared at Alex with a lustful gaze while she continued to stroke his erect shaft through his pants.
