Episode 7:
I never stopped loving you
"I absolutely want to see you guys! It's been several weeks!" Ivory spoke into her cell phone eagerly.
"I want to see you again too, how about this Friday? Me and Isaac could meet you for dinner and drinks." The voice on the other line was her best friend, Karen.
Ivory looked at the calendar in her kitchen and flicked her tail. "Hmm... yeah that sounds good." The cat purred to herself as she thought for a moment then spoke again, "I don't want to be a third wheel, I think I will bring Joe with me."
Silence filled the line for several moments before Karen responded, "You think that's a good idea?"
"Hmm... not really, but I'll do it anyway," Ivory purred in response.
"I just don't want to harass the poor fox, that's all," The rabbit spoke with concern in her voice.
"Yeah well, that 'poor fox' has been banging me for almost a full season now. He says he loves me all the time, shit I think he would marry me if he could!" Ivory laughed and held a padded-palm to her face, feeling her cheeks warm through her fur.
"I knew you guys were seeing each other, but I didn't think it was getting so serious so quickly," Karen spoke with shock in her voice.
"Screw you, bunny. You went from single to married in less than a year! Hell, you guys had moved in together by now!" Ivory huffed but did so playfully as she grinned.
"Ha! Guess I've got no right to judge then. Truth be told I miss him, it will be nice to see him again." Ivory could hear the cheerfulness creeping into Karen's voice as she spoke.
"H-hey now... don't go getting fresh with my fox now that he is legal, Karen!" Ivory huffed playfully.
A giggle filled the speaker of the phone, "Don't worry, Isaac is all the dog I need!"
"Phew... are you all he needs, you can share that wolf anytime with me, Karen!" Ivory purred, knowing it would get a rise from her.
"Hey!" Karen snapped out with a huff.
"I'm fucking with you, relax!" The cat grinned wide and flicked her tail about.
The rabbit let out a little huff before responding, "So Friday, maybe around nine?"
"Sounds good to me, let's hash the details out over the next few days." Ivory nodded.
They made a little more small talk then ended the call. Ivory slid the phone into the pocket of her jeans and grinned to herself. She was eager to see the rabbit again, it had been a while.
Joseph came out of her bedroom a few minutes later, giving a lazy sleepy yawn as he ran his fingers through his mussed bed hair. His locks had gotten a little longer at the tips from him growing it out but still remained fairly short since it had only been a few months since he decided to.
Ivory had been in the middle of singing a soft melody when she saw the fox out of the corner of her eye and smiled, "Morning, hun. Want me to make you a cup of coffee?" Ivory purred, walking over to the fox and kissing his muzzle gently.
"I love your singing..." He growled against her lips, returning the kiss and moving his paw over to grab her backside, pulling her against his chest. Ivory giggled softly and sighed as she felt the fox start down her throat with his good morning kisses.
She purred and let him kiss along her throat for a few moments before gently pushing away from him, "I offered you coffee, not me! You horny mutt!" She spoke with a grin, "Didn't you get enough of me last night?"
"I doubt I'm ever going to get enough of you, baby," Joseph growled before moving over to snag a mug from the cabinet and pour himself a cup of coffee.
Ivory smiled and let him sip the coffee and wake up a little more before finally speaking, "So... how about we go on a double date Friday?"
The fox perked his ears, "That sounds fun, with whom?"
"Karen and Isaac," The cat purred with a grin.
The fox froze at that for a long pause, Ivory saw him processing it in his brain. After several seconds Joseph took another pull of coffee before speaking, "Sure, we can do that."
"Are you sure?" Ivory quirked an ear as she looked over at her mate.
He shrugged a shoulder. "We've been dating for over three months now, and that was like a year and a half ago..."
"True, but are you sure you're gonna be cool seeing her again?" Ivory prodded the subject, just as much curious as concerned.
"I had feelings, she didn't return them. Shit..." The fox huffed and looked out of the kitchen at the balcony. "She called me out on it at the time, I hardly knew her. I was more in love with the idea of being in love with her than anything else. I was too afraid to come out and say how I felt and get to know her."
"True, but you used that experience with me, you got to know me and everything." Ivory shrugged and took Joseph's half drank coffee, taking a sip of it for herself before continuing, "I would have told you the same thing had you not taken the time to get to know me first."
The fox visibly shivered at the thought of it and put a handpaw on Ivory's hip. "I don't even want to think about it... You mean so much to me now..."
The cat grinned and set the coffee mug down before pushing up against the fox and hugging him tightly. "Ditto... you're everything to me, hun."
The two of them held one another for several long moments before looking into one another's eyes. Her bright blue eyes met his chestnut ones and they held the look for a few heartbeats before shoving their mouths together in a hungry kiss.
Ivory purred against his mouth, her tongue flicking against his own, their breath tasting of coffee. Joseph had his handpaws on her breasts, rubbing at them through her blouse, kneading them against one another.
Ivory gasped out and pulled from his lips, drooping her ears and huffing while he rubbed at her chest, "T-take it easy, Joe... You're gonna bruise them again..."
"S-sorry I just get so eager to touch you..." He growled into her flicking ear while sliding his paws over her hips now, circling around to grab the cat's rear.
"Huff! W-we don't have time this morning anyway! We've both gotta be at work in like twenty minutes!" Ivory panted and shoved her face to his chest, nuzzling it while he rubbed her backside.
"Damn... can't we just be a little late?" The fox growled before circling his handpaws to the front of Ivory's pants, tugging the button free and unzipping them, showing off the red panties she had on.
"N-no we can't! We've been late twice this week already!" Ivory panted before pulling from his grip and zipping her pants back up. "You're just gonna have to wait my fox."
Joseph let out a fussy bark before growling and pulling his paws back. "Tch... fine..."
Ivory gave him a smile and blushed, "Well if you're still chomping at the bit, we can always slip into your car during lunch..." Her tail flicked and coiled while purring the words.
"R-really?!" He spoke excitedly his tail wagging faster now. Ivory just smiled and rolled her eyes.

The work dragged on until it was time for their lunch, then the place started hopping, giving each of them a fairly short break they had to split up. Crystal and Suzanne came in to relieve them when the afternoon shift began.
Ivory gave Crystal the pass down on things before clocking out but another rush came in before Joseph clocked out, so he remained on the clock to help the persian and mouse deal with the customers. Ivory had already clocked out so she had no choice but to sit in the lobby and wait on the fox to finish, corporate would flip their shit over her clocking back in or working off the clock..
