Rane Wilson watched from her wooden bench at the park in New York where she spotted the cloaked figure dressed in black and wearing what appeared to be a golden dog mask.
She has been watching it for weeks now the anthropomorphic creature doing the same thing over and over just taking a stroll through the park.
At first Rane thought it would be the last time she would ever see it since she only caught it a couple of weeks ago. But the creature kept coming out of its hiding place, whatever that was, and taking a stroll across the park.
Rane couldn't blame it; it was a beautiful day with the sun hiding in and out of the clouds.
But Rane had more important things to worry about than the weather and even watching the dog walking in the park.
If Rane wanted this to work she needed to make her move and now before she never gets the chance.
Rane grabbed her belongings, a dirty light green wool bag with a strap that went over her shoulder. She carried everything in it from coloring pencils to a coloring pad where she did most her drawings.
Rane walked over and carefully to the golden dog mask anthropomorph making sure she didn't scare the creature off.
"Excuse me," Rane finally spoke.
The heavily cloaked anthropomorph quickly turned around to see a beautiful woman with her raven colored hair turned into a ponytail.
"I'm sorry to interrupt you," Rane admitted, "but I was wondering if you can help me out?"
The golden mask dog looked Rane up and down as if it did not know what it was looking at.
"Do you speak sign language?" Rane asked.
The dog nodded.
Rane chuckled like she was relieved that she made the move in the first place.
"I'm working on a special project," Rane started, "a project I hope you would consider and I think you would like."
The dog rose up its massive gloved hand and started to use sign language. "What project?"
Relieved again that it was curious Rane began to explain using her skill of sign language and voice. "I'm what you call an artist and I'm looking for anthropomorphs just like you to help me out with my art."
The golden dog mask suddenly turned sideways like it was confused. Then it started to use sign language. "Why anthros?"
"That's a good question," Rane said using sign language as well, "because I think you and your kind are fascinating and I think the world needs to know that you are too."
The golden dog mask stared at Rane looking intimidated but Rane knew that she had to see past her fears if she wanted this to work.
"Listen I know that it seems a little skeptical at first but I'm willing to pay you handsomely if you just give me the chance." Rane promised.
The golden dog mask stared at Rane for a few seconds as if thinking about her proposal. Then it nodded.
"Yay," Rane cheered clapping her hands together in success, "if you will follow me and I promise you, you won't regret it."
The golden dog mask nodded and started walking right beside Rane.
"So by the way," Rane spoke and used sign language at the same time, "my name is Rane, Rane Wilson and you?"
The golden dog mask anthropomorph started doing sign language. "My name is Rocky."
"Rocky," Rane repeated, "such a unique name. It's nice to meet you rocky." Rane reached out her hand to shake his.
When the anthropomorph shook Rane's hand in return Rane felt his strength going through her body making her feel warm inside.
Rane had shaken many guys' hands in her time but this felt different. The handshake had some power behind it something she was intrigued about.
Rane unlocked and opened the door to her studio apartment and stepped aside letting Rocky in. Rocky looked around to see paintings everywhere.
"Come in and make yourself at home," Rane introduced, "how do you like it?"
Rocky looked around. The place was big enough for more people but it seemed like Rane was all alone.
Rocky turned to Rane and nodded.
"Good, for a second there I thought you would not like it." Rane admitted. "Come I'll fix you something to eat I know your starving, I know I am."
Rane cooked up some vegetables and clean chicken and placed them on two plates and placing the both of them on the kitchen counter. One was in front of Rocky and the other in front of Rane.
"Eat up," Rane spoke as she took her fork and began digging in.
Rocky lifted his golden mask up just a bit to show his muzzle and bent over to pick up his food with a fork and stuffed some of it inside his mouth.
Rane watched not disgusted but intrigued on how Rocky ate.
She picked up a glass of water and drank some to wash down her food. Then placed the glass back on the counter and continued finishing her dinner.
Rane and Rocky both finished their dinner with Rane grabbing both plates and placing them in the sink.
After pouring hot water on the stained plates Rane turned to face Rocky who was looking down at her.
"So how did you like your food?" Rane asked already knowing the answer.
Rocky gave her thumbs up signaling that he was pleased.
Rane chuckled happy to see that. "Well good I'm glad you enjoyed it."
Rane glanced at the other room and back at Rocky. "Shall we continue into the other room?"
Rocky nodded.
Rane walked into, what she called, the art room and Rocky followed behind.
Inside Rocky took a strong look around the room. The walls were painted with all different colors of the trees and oceans, planets and stars, and of the city itself. Rane couldn't tell but by the look of it Rocky was impressed.
"Welcome to the Art Room," Rane introduced, "this is where I create my own world and private thoughts."
Rocky nodded understanding where she was coming from.
"Now to start this off proper there is a stool over there in the center of the room," Rane pointed to the wooden stool behind a wooden canvas, "you can sit over there but there is one catch."
Rocky tilted his golden dog mask head wondering what that catch was.
"This maybe a stupid question and forgive me if I ask but are you wearing anything under that? T-shirt, underwear, something?"
Rocky confusingly shook his head.
"Good because that's what I want to paint. I want to see natural beauty and for that to happen I have to see all of you including your face, will that be a problem?" Rane explained.
Rocky had to admit to himself that revealing his true natural body could freak someone like Rane out. But Rocky knew Rane was somewhat different. She seemed edgy but at the same time was confident enough to go through whatever she was going through to get what she wanted.
Rane licked her bottom lip and came up with a better idea. "How about this..." Rane reached under her shirt and pulled it off her body revealing her tan white bra. After throwing it aside she unbuckled and unzipped her denim pants, taking off her shoes and socks, and pulling her pants all the way down so she could step out of them and kick them to the side along with the t-shirt and shoes. "There is that better?"
Rocky tilted his golden dog mask head sideways wondering why on earth she was doing this.
"Not good enough?" Rane asked reaching behind her back to unsnap her bra letting her perky and voluptuous breasts free. After throwing that to the side she reached for her panties and pulled them down stepping out of them and kicking them to the side revealing the small black pubic hair of her pussy. "How about that?"
Rocky was taken aback by the site of Rane stripping down in front of him. Whatever project she was doing she was going to get it at any means necessary.
"Now it's your turn," Rane said walking up to Rocky, "let me see you, all of you, please? I promise I won't freak out."
Rocky started off taken off his hood where Rane could see his cropped up dog ears. Then he took off his gloves showing Rane his massive pawed toasty red claws and hands. Rocky continued to undress as he pulled off his cloak revealing his muscular toasty red furry frame that opened Rane's eyes wide.
Rane walked up to Rocky and without his permission, even though Rocky didn't care, Rane reached for the golden dog mask and carefully removed it from Rocky's face.
Rane stepped back in awe as she was not just staring up at any dog but the body and head of an all American red colored pit-bull.
Rane stepped up to the pit-bull named, Rocky, and stared into his light brown eyes. "You are so beautiful."
Rocky leaned down and gave Rane a strong lick across her left cheek making Rane chuckle.
"Slow down cowboy," Rane said, "we still have one more thing to do."
Rocky sat on the wooden stool naked, at least that's what Rane thought since it was covered in red fur, while she concentrated on painting on her wooden canvas.
Rane turned to Rocky who stared back at her. Rane couldn't tell but she had the feeling that Rocky was checking her out. It also helped that she two were naked and she noticed that Rocky was paying attention to that.
