Daniel was in heaven. "I think I could get used to being like this," he leaned forwards and gave a quick lick to Jennifer's cheek, "That was incredible."
"Mmm, tell me about it," Jennifer gasped slightly as Daniel rubbed her breasts with a paw-like hand, coaxing a few additional twitches from her fading orgasm.
The jingling of keys and footfalls approaching the door hit the two of them like a bucket of cold water, their ears turning towards the door a split second before they turned their heads, "Oh crap, oh CRAP. It's my dad!" Daniel frantically tried to pull himself up, but was thwarted by his knot remaining firmly engorged and stuck inside Jennifer.
Jennifer yipped sharply, "Hey, that hurts! Calm down. You won't be able to go anywhere for a while thanks to that knot of yours."
"Calm down? Calm down?" Daniel was nearly whining, "How can I calm down? My dad is here, I'm naked and *stuck* after having sex in the living room, and on top of everything else I've been turned partially into a dalmatian," his thin tail was shaking pathetically as far down between his legs as it could go, "He's going to kill me."
"We'll just have to try to think of something, we can't go anywhere like this and," a lump formed in Jennifer's throat and silenced her as the two of them were brought back to the situation at hand by the sound of a key turning in the lock and the front door opening.
Daniel's father paused in the doorway, one hand still on the doorknob and the other holding his formal jacket over his shoulder. He looked between the two of them for a moment with an unreadable expression on his face.
"Dad.. uh, I know what this looks like, but.." He stopped and cocked his head, puzzled, as his father smiled and started chuckling.
"We were wondering when you two were going to, ah, 'tie the knot' as it were," He stepped into the house and shut the door before walking over to his coat rack and hanging up his business coat.
Daniel couldn't believe what he had heard, "I.." was all he could say out loud, his mind totally blank with shock. His dad was still cracking jokes like normal even now?
Jennifer tilted her head to look back at Daniel, her canine features mirroring the confusion she saw on his face, "Mr. Gibson, I can explain.. Daniel and I were curs..."
"Hush now, there's nothing to explain," Daniel's father interrupted while beginning to undo his tie, "Your family and I knew that something like this would happen eventually."
Jennifer and Daniel looked at each other quickly, surprised, "I'm sorry?"
Mr. Gibson was hanging up his tie, one hand undoing the top buttons on his collared shirt, "You two have always been different from most other people, and that always made you much closer to each other." He began walking towards the kitchen after he finished making himself more comfortable, oblivious to the stunned looks he was getting, "Ever since you two were pups, you were inseparable. You'd have to be blind to not see this coming."
"Pups??" Daniel whispered to Jennifer.
"The curse made everyone think I had always been this way, remember?" she said, quietly, "I guess it's doing the same for you now?"
"You two want some water? I can only imagine how hot it's it feels outside today in fur." Daniel's father called from across the house.
"Um, yeah." Daniel said, flatly.
"It's a good thing your doctors found out about you two not being able to have puppies last time you both went in for checkups," He called back as he opened the refrigerator, "what with her going into heat now and then and you unable to control yourself, the last thing you want is to have litters of pups preventing you from your schooling now that you're both, ah, more romantically involved." He walked back with two large bottles of water under his arm, "Is bottled OK? Or do you want me to get you some cups or bowls to drink from?"
"S'fine," Daniel said automatically, not knowing how to reply to being offered bowls to drink from. The strangeness of it all combined with the passage of time finally allowed him to slip out of Jennifer and stand up.
"Ok, son." Daniel's father smiled as he handed him the two bottles of water, "I don't know why you two went out today in clothes, the sun must be like an oven for you this time of year."
Jennifer stood now as well, taking one of the bottles from Daniel, "Didn't expect it to get so hot this early in the year, I guess," she said quickly, "Thanks for the water."
