The accumulation of snow and ice betrayed any sense that the vehicle that left the alleyway between the pub and the neighbouring buildings for some time.\n\nThe pub in question was simply referred to as the Northstar by the locals. It was a modest establishment whose ownership remained in the Harris family since the town's inception nearly a century ago. Mark Harris, a Golden Labrador in his mid-thirties, was the current proprietor of the Northstar and famously single amongst the tiny populace of Aurora.\n\nHe dwelt in a tiny apartment above the pub and until a certain point in his life he occupied that space all to himself. These days, Mark Harris opened his doors and life to a grey-wolf who arrived in town almost half a year ago. He hadn't imagined what sort of person who would respond to the `Help wanted' advertisement for the pub. If anything, Mark took it for granted that one his local barflies would leap at the chance to work behind the bar and be entitled to the perks of, for lack of a better phrase, shitting where they drank.\n\nHe was pleasantly content with his decision to hire the grey-wolf, Riley Conner, as his live-in employee and flatmate.\n\nThe Northstar opened at precisely one in the afternoon, no sooner or later than that. Mark was of the disposition to wake up around seven and he spent his free hours before work either reading or spending time with the man who shared his bed. The alarm rang at the appointed time and Mark quickly grabbed his phone, swiped the alarm off and returned to cuddling the wolf beside him.\n\nMark buried his face into Riley's back, ``I fucking hate that sound.''\n\nHe was referring to the alarm notification he had selected for the month which Mark changed every month so as to not become accustomed to sound that would wake him.\n\nRiley reached back and patted Mark's hand which lay tenderly across Riley's chest, ``I thought you liked the sound of maracas in the morning?''\n\n``A week ago I did, but maracas don't feel right in September. Doesn't exactly scream Fall or whatever,'' Mark muffled into Riley's fur.\n\n``What difference does it make? It always feels like winter here.''\n\n``That's why I picked maracas. They make me think of summer, I'm more willing to wake up when it's summer,'' Mark moaned.\n\nRiley laughed and turned to face the Lab, ``Do I need... to motivate you to wake up?'' Mark snuggled into Riley's chest, ``No, anything but that.''\n\nRiley started to tickle the Lab's sides, which were more sensitive than any other person's Riley had ever met. Mark kicked and laughed uncontrollably as Riley set his fingers to work on the Lab's bright yellow fur. ``Still feel like sleeping in?''\n\n``No!'' Mark howled, ``I give up, I give!''\n\n``Too bad,'' Riley nuzzled against Mark's nose, ``I'm having fun.''\n\nMark sprung up from the bed, eyes closed with mirth as he laughed uncontrollably. Riley propped himself up on his arm and whistled, admiring the dog's morning wood protruding from his scarlet briefs. Once Mark had calmed down, he placed his hands on his hips and smirked down at the wolf, ``Like what you see?''\n\nRiley threw the blankets off the bed, revealing his naked body to the Labrador; he was equally hard and tantalizing as all hell, he licked his lips, ``What do you think?''\n\n\f\n\n``Oh?'' Mark placed his knees on the bed and bent over onto his knuckles, ``When did this happen?''\n\nRiley had gone to bed wearing a pair of blue boxer-briefs but sometime between when Mark went to bed and his waking up, they had all but vanished.\n\nThe wolf grabbed Mark and pulled his onto his chest, ``It happened when you weren't looking.''\n\nMark stroked the side of Riley's face, his azure eyes captivating Riley with their purity, ``How did you know I absolutely love surprises like this?''\n\n``Half a year of living together will do that,'' Riley laid of series of quick kisses along Mark's neck.\n\n``You don't say?''\n\nRiley pulled Mark close and closed his eyes, ``I do. I...I can't even express how much this means to me.''\n\nMark chuckled, ``Where's this coming from?''\n\n``I don't know. Maybe you're just especially cute this morning,'' Riley said giving Mark an addition squeeze.\n\n``Well, this `especially cute' dog needs to use the bathroom,'' Mark kissed Riley's nose. ``By all means,'' Riley released him and the Lab scampered off towards the tiny bathroom\n\nsituation outside their room across the living room and kitchen.\n\nOnce Mark closed the door, Riley pulled out his phone and felt the blood drain from his\n\nface.\n\nThere was another message, the second text since he left Highland from the cellphone of Micah Grisham. It was the picture of the tiger's cock and a message reading, `I still long for you, Dion. I would die for you, I would kill you still.'\n\nRiley deleted the text.\n\nMax was still trying to find him, though the gangster had been unsuccessful these past six months, Riley knew that the tiger still longed for Dion Cruz.\n\nMore distressing was Riley's state of undress.\n\nDion had all but been dormant since he left Highland and travelled north. While Riley had enjoyed his life without fear of his masochistic latent persona taking over, his also wished he could obtain proof that Dion was no longer an issue. Until last night, he believed Dion was thing of the past.\n\nRiley never removed his underwear during the night.\n\nIt seemed like a ridiculous thing to worry about, but for Riley it meant that sometime during his sleep he had lost control of senses and Dion surfaced in some capacity. He stared at his dick, hard and ready for action.\n\nHe recalled his first few months living with Mark. The Lab only wanted someone to share the rent and help run the pub but when it became obvious that Riley harbored similar desires as the Lab, Riley stopped sleeping on the couch and began sharing the Lab's bed.\n\nHalf a year later and Riley thought that his past had finally gotten away from him. He would be safe from Max and started looking forward to the future.\n\nThis text proved otherwise.\n\nMark returned from the bathroom and caught a glance at Riley's erection.\n\n``Something else I didn't notice earlier,'' He moaned.\n\nRiley set his phone down, even with the text from Max looming over him, he wouldn't resist the Lab's lusty gaze, ``Why don't you come over here and give it some attention?''\n\n\fMark put his hands on his waist and slid his briefs off, ``Don't mind if I do.''\n\nUncut and unapologetic, Mark's cock sprang as it was liberated from his underwear. He climbed back into the bed and started to kiss Riley, all the while stroking the wolf's cock with undivided attention. Riley moaned, and reached for Mark's encroaching dick.\n\nThey stroked, they pressed their thumbs against the tip of their respective cocks and let their tongues frolic within their mouths.\n\nIt was simple, it was easy and it felt amazing for Riley.\n\nMark was careful around the wolf's body, which was etched in scars and wounds from a time before the Lab knew him. Mark was always cautious to bring up Riley's body, which was a constant reminder that the wolf had a past that was alien and frankly terrifying to even consider.\n\nMark had asked Riley about the scars when he first laid eyes on the wolf's naked fur.\n\nRiley had answered aloofly back then, ``It's...from a time I'd rather not talk about.''\n\nIt didn't matter.\n\nMark had Riley all to himself. He had this cute and incredible generous wolf to please and Mark was all too willing to engage in passion with such an animal.\n\nRiley inhaled sharply, ``I'm gonna come.''\n\nMark moaned, ``Do it, babe.''\n\nRiley gasped as Mark delivered the final stroke. The wolf's emissions shot out over Mark's hand. As soon as Riley came, Mark tenderly pulled Riley's hand away from his dick. The wolf looked up at the Lab apologetically, ``What about you?''\n\nMark smiled and licked his hand, ``It's enough for me that you feel good.'' Riley kissed him, ``You don't need to hold back on my account.''\n\nMark reciprocated Riley's kiss, ``I never hold back. Every moment with you is satisfaction.''\n\nRiley knew that Mark felt he was fragile, and how could he blame him? He remembered the Lab's reaction when he saw his body, the pitiable look he held in his beautiful eyes every time he saw Riley's scars.\n\nMark stroked the back of his hand against Riley's face and handed him some tissues to clean up his cum, ``I'll get breakfast going and then why don't we go down to the kitchen and get the day prep going?''\n\nRiley quickly dabbed the wet areas on his body before grabbing Mark's hand, ``Sounds perfect.''\n\nMark left the wolf and Riley scanned the room for his discarded underwear.

The revving of a motorcycle echoed throughout the northern woodlands and along the sole highway heading north a raccoon rider sped along the road with a singular destination in mind.
He was heading for Aurora.
