John walked perhaps a half a mile before he stopped. Dropping to the ground he buried his head in his hands and cried, "Oh hell Tommy, why you..."
Candy came up and crouched down next to him. After a few minutes of silence, she said softly, "It hurts when you lose one of yours."
"What do you know about it... You're just a fucking squid."
She had to take a deep breath to keep calm and remind herself that John was just lashing out in pain. "For your information, I lost my team in Afghanistan. And secondly, I know you are hurting and just lashing out, but if you call me a squid one more time I am going to kick your ass. Then both Honey and Beth will be cross with me."
Not looking up John said, "You didn't kill them..."
"No, I just ordered them into a position that was not defendable and we were overrun." Candy winced with the memory. "But I am not here to piss and moan about my mistakes. Break it down. Why the shooter first? Simple because if you took out the spotter the shooter would have toasted my ass."
John did not raise his head as he nodded. "Yea, I figured they had you cold and were waiting to see if they could suck the rest of us in."
"Now, what would you have done if you knew? Gone for the spotter and chance my life? What if it was Honey instead of me? Do the same?" Candy paused and said, "We can spend time until we are old and gray playing the what if game John."
John looked at Candy, "Okay I did the right thing. Am I supposed to feel good about killing my best friend?"
"No, you grieve for him as you keep moving forward." Candy waited a beat and added softly, "And take a bath..." She thought to Julio, "Any running water around here?"
"Yea, go east by north east yous will find a stream...Wees going to be up stream...at da falls."
Standing she offered a hand to John, "Come on, let's get cleaned up."
John looked at the hand and then up at Candy. He sighed and then took the offered hand. "You know... if you had not taken that human's head off I would not need a bath."
"Yea you would need a priest." She pointed roughly north east, "There is a stream over that way." As they walked she added, "See we squids can do more than kick ass. We can find water, which is more than grunts can do."
Julio led the others to a small waterfall, below the falls was a pool of water and a sandy beach. "Here wees are."
Kitten looked around enchanted. "It's beautiful love." A nasty thought crossed her mind, "So who else have you brought here?" she said turning to look at him. That her rifle was pointing in his direction was not intended.
Julio remembered what Candy had told her. "I's a cabby, I's know all the good spots for young lovers," she said carefully. She put on a big smile, the one she used for the cops back in New York. She looked at Honey, "Dis work?"
Honey nodded, "It's lovely Julio. We'll make camp and wait for the others."
After walking a half an hour John and Candy found the stream. They followed it up stream until they ran across a beaver dam and the pond it created. Dropping his pack and setting the sniper rifle down, John gingerly got in. "Damn it's cold..." He complained as he started wiping at the dried blood and gore.
As she watched him, Candy felt her need grow. The musky scent John gave off made her go into heat and she could barely contain her lust. After watching him try to get clean she dove in next to him. "Here, let me help you," She said as she scooped up sand and started scrubbing John's back.
"Dunk and turn around," Candy said. As John went down she got more sand and started to clean his front. Only she was not really cleaning him, she was using this chance to caress his body. With each caress he felt her need grow and his own desire. Finally, she lost to her body's desire and impaled herself on his stiff cock. Wrapping her legs around him to keep him inside her she looked into his eyes. "Take me..." When he made no move to hold her she felt her eyes well with tears and said, "I won't beg, John. But I need you; I need you to make love to me... Please..."
John was confused, his body responded to Candy's expert hands and it wanted her. Also she smelled good and her need was apparent. However, he had said and promised Honey that she would always choose who he mated with. "Honey?" he called mentally to her. That had had a hell of a fight earlier and now he was scared to talk to her.
"LOVE!" Honey replied with Joy. "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry..."
"I have a problem."
"What," Honey asked suddenly serious.
"Candy is trying to seduce me; hell is seducing me using tears. What do I do?"
"Make love to her silly."
That was all he needed. John wrapped his arms around Candy and nuzzled her. He easily walked with her wrapped around him to the bank and lay down. They made love slowly and with a mental connection he had not felt with Kitty. That connection made all the difference in the world for him. Their minds opened fully to each other and both healed the other's hurt in the process.
Once they had finished and were cuddling Candy looked up into John's eyes. "I love you," she said softly caressing him. "I know you have Honey and I Beth, but I love you just the same."
John purred as he felt his arousal grow again. Entering her a second time he thought to her, "And I love you too. You understand me in a way no one else does." That he loved two cat women did not bother him at all.
If the first time was nice, this time was wonderful Candy thought. She had made love countless times before and even had born three of Kitty's daughters. But this, with John, made her feel complete. It made her feel like a woman, small and helpless in his strong arms. She mewed in pleasure as her body orgasmed. It was not the mind blowing one the goddess had given, and yet it felt better because it was given with love. Even then he didn't stop and she felt at peace as he filled her a third time with his cum.
Once they had finished, she looked at him and said softly, "Would you have really shot me?"
