Guarded Ep. 09

Hilde blinked up at the idol, her cheeks flushed and a bright smile on her face. The ram gave her a grin in the midst of his song, watching her brown eyes sparkle in the laser lights. After a few moments, he felt her pull the lead and start guiding them herself. The idol grinned and gave her the lead.

Tracey showed her teeth in an amused grin, watching the momentum shift. "Sheep, you just can't help but be led around by the ladies, eh?"

The younger wolf folded her ears and her smile turned into a coy grin. Blue lifted his ears while trying to carry a note, then huffed out as the wolf gave a flourish and stepped from his grip.

The older wolf widened her eyes, Hilde snatching her hand and pulling her into a slow purposeful stride towards the stage. "The hell are you doing, Hilde?!" Tracey barked the words down into her face, her cheeks flushed.

The younger wolf smiled at the older one. "EB said it, this is my moment. So I'm playing it out my way!" She barked the words playfully and pulled Tracey as if to spin her, but released her wrist and let the older wolf fumble right up against the Idol's chest.

Tracey barked out in protest, her voice cutting into the feed while she pushed up to Leo. The ram took her hand in his and his other hand moved to rest on her hip. He resumed his dance with Tracey in his arms instead. "What is with you wolves?" He cooed out the words between lyrics.

The concert halls' energy seemed to dial-up in intensity once they were holding one another. Hilde gave a prideful grin and stepped back letting them dance while he sang.

"You know I can't dance, Leo..." Tracey spoke the words gently, her voice filling the feed while he sang.

"Just follow my lead..." He spoke out during a lull in the song. Tracey nodded and pushed closer to him, resting her head on his chest while they slow-danced in the laser lights.

"You like this song, hun... sing it with me..." He spoke the words softly, his voice echoing out into the stadium, the fans cheering in agreement.

"Y-you know I can't sing!" Tracey barked the words, then folded her ears and blushed, hearing her own voice fill the massive room.

"Everyone else is singing, just follow my lead..." The idol hummed a lyric instead of singing then began to sing once more. Tracey swallowed then started matching his tone, her voice joining his in a duet. The crowd began cheering and the wolf felt her cheeks flush heavily. Leo moved a hand to her face, guiding her to look upon him and focus on their dance and song.

Everything seemed to fade away in that moment. It was just him and her singing, while they clung to one another in a slow dance. She didn't want it to ever end, she wanted to stay in his arms like this, dancing and singing with him forever.

Their last words of the song rolled forth and the long slow outro of the song played out. They stood there, gently moving to synthetic music. James was dragging the synth out for them, giving an extended ending to the song. Of course, everyone on the crew knew what they were now and most of the audience had their suspicions.

Hilde stood to the side near the band, grinning at the sight, tears filling her eyes while her tail wagged about proudly.

The last notes played and Leo moved his hand to Tracey's face, guiding her to look upon him. The two stared into one another's eyes in the moment. The last chord hummed out on the speakers and the whole concert hall was silent and focused upon them.

Tracey's azure eyes widened as he pushed his mouth to her own. The wolf growled in her throat, hearing it on the feedback and wrapped her arms around his neck. She didn't think about it, she just held him close and kissed him back.

The two held the kiss for a long few heartbeats, then Leo pulled from her mouth and Tracey pulled from his arms, turning her back with a huff. She put a hand over her cheek and looked back towards the stage, feeling the heat on her palm.

The idol clicked his tongue as he looked out over the stunned audience. "S-so..." The idol spoke out in an uncharacteristically shaken tone.

"It's about damn time!" Someone shouted out in the crowd of thousands. Another similar sentiment echoed out and before long the hall was filled with cheers and applause.

Tracey gave the younger wolf a smile and shook her head before putting her hands on her own hips. Her lips were stained with the pink lipstick Leo had worn for the concert.

"Thank you everyone, I love you all very much." The idol called out to the crowd, his eyes shining and looking wet in the lasers and stage lights.

Tracey turned to grin as she moved up close to Leo so her voice would hit the feed. "I still owe Hilde that selfie..."

Leo gave her a wide grin before speaking out. "Then... let's make sure we get everyone in the shot!" He gathered his band to the front of the stage with him, Tracey and Hilde in front. Their backs were turned to the audience and Tracey held her phone up.

Hilde smiled and wrapped an arm around the older wolf's shoulder. They both grinned and gave the camera a peace sign before the older wolf took the shot. The two of them were upfront,, the band and Leo behind them, along with the majority of the filled concert hall.

"That's how EB does a selfie!" Leo barked out proudly towards the audience. The concert hall roaring to life at his proclamation.

Tracey pushed up close to him and spoke into the feed. "Actually, you made a weird face, we're gonna have to take it again."

The place erupted into laughter and Leo blinked down at her with a laugh. The wolf smiled up at him, her lips bright pink like his own. "Really?"

"I'm kidding with you. Get back to your fans... Darling" Tracey growled the words and rested her hand on his chest, fingertips resting over the silver book locket. She hesitated before pulling from him and moving from the stage, Hilde following behind her.

"You crafty little bitch!" Tracey barked at the younger wolf, her teeth showing in a grin.

Hilde giggled and pursed her lips. "I hope you're not too sore with me... it seemed the right thing to do..."

Maximillian moved over to Tracey with a huff. "Oh man... I guess lunch didn't agree with me." The rat looked upon the younger wolf with a confused look then back to Tracey. "What's going on, what did I..." He saw the pink lipstick on her lips and his face went pale.

"Hilde, this is Maximillian, he's Blue's manager." Tracey grinned and introduced the rat casually.

"Nice to meet you, Maximillian. Can I call you Max?" The young wolf called out playfully.

"A pleasure." He pursed his lips and looked to Tracey. "Tracey... what happened?"

"Just a little fanservice..." Tracey grinned and held her phone up, letting Max see the concert hall selfie.

"O-oh my gods... how am I-"

"A lot of fanservice." Hilde clicked her tongue and showed a picture she had taken as well. The wolf and ram embraced in their kiss, the whole audience watching.

Max pursed his lips and pointed a finger before turning his back. He turned back to Tracey and opened his mouth, then shut it and turned away once more. He looked over his shoulder one more time, opened his mouth to speak once again, then shook his head, threw his arms up, and walked away.

"What the hell was that, Leonard?!" Max hadn't even shut the door to the dressing room before he was shouting at the idol.

"Oh come off it, Max. The crowd loved it..." Leo spoke out with his back turned, already at the mirror cleaning the pink off his horns.

"Leo... baby... We've still got a season to go on this thing. You're breaking your contract here!" Max hissed the words at him, his fists clenching before he pulled his handkerchief from his back pocket. "Do you have any idea what this shit is going to do?" The rat continued as he wiped his sweating bald head.

"Get your blood pressure up?" Leo quipped, looking over his shoulder. "Seriously, Max, calm the fuck down before I smack you."

"Whoa whoa whoa... Let's just step back here." Tracey barked out, both the idol and manager glaring at her in response. The wolf snorted and folded her arms, along with her ears. Her azure eyes looked bright and angry as she spoke out calmly. "The way you two are looking at me... Do you wanna have a bad time?"

Max and Leo jerked their gaze away from the wolf at her words. Tracey pointed at Leo while growling. "Max is your best friend, you really want it to go down this way? You owe him an apology."

The ram showed his teeth."You demanding I give that apology, Tracy?"

"I'm not, you can do what you want but you know I'm right." The bodyguard folded her arms and looked to Max. "Maximillian... I know it's stressing you out, but what's done is done. Coming in here freaking out on us isn't going to make matters any better."

"Oh, so now you're thinking about things?" The rat fired back at the bodyguard.

Tracey snarled and jerked her gaze away, her tail whipping about in anger. Leo saw the display and thrust his finger out towards the rat. His words came out cold and furious, "You do not disrespect her, do you hear-"

"Stop it." Tracey growled and grabbed Leo's hand, gently coaxing it down. She leveled a look at the rat and showed her teeth. "I know I fucked up, is that what you want to hear Max?"

"You both fucked up. I told you to keep this on the down-low until the tour was done." The manager sighed and folded his arms, looking away from the two of them.

"So we write it off as a Valentine's day stunt, or we tell the label to go fuck themselves." Leo gave a shrug. "Tracey has been bringing them plenty more money lately, they can kiss my ass."

"This didn't need to happen this way, to begin with." Max put his hands on his hips, giving the idol a concerned look.

"Yeah, well then don't worry about it. I'm meeting with the director next week to renegotiate anyway. I will deal with it myself." The idol grumbled the words and turned back to the mirror to clean off the stars and hearts on his cheek.

Max clenched his teeth and turned his back on the idol. "Fine Leonard, do what you please."

"You two seriously gonna leave it like this?" Tracey called out between them. "You've been through a lot together, this is just a bump in the road. Don't let it derail the fucking train."

"She's right, Max. I'm sorry for snapping at you." Leo spoke the words and looked back at the rat over his shoulder.

Max sighed and rubbed his forehead. "I'm just trying to do what's best for your career and the crew, Leo."

"I know that. I appreciate you Max but I need to worry about my happiness too. You and the crew are going to be taken care of if it goes south, I told you that already." Leo turned and put his hands on his hips, smiling at the rat.

"Yes, I suppose that's true. I guess we will cross the bridge when we come to it." The manager sighed and waved a hand. "Good show tonight, the crowd really could feel your love for them."

"Thanks Max. It will all work out, don't worry." Leo gave him a reassuring grin and looked over at Tracey.

Tracey smiled over at Leo and moved over to the wall. She withdrew her cell phone and started pecking away at it with her thumb.

"Texting someone?" The idol asked curiously.

The wolf grinned at him. "Yeah, just sending that picture I took to Hilde."

"She was a cute dog, it was nice you took a shine to her." Leo hummed the words as he moved over to the bodyguard.

"Yeah? Well, she's closer to your age than I am. Gonna trade me in for a newer model?" The dog grinned at him playfully.

Leo pushed his forehead to Tracey's and flicked his little fluff of tail. "You kidding? I only just got you broke in, I'm not doing that again, you wolves are hard work!"

"You're such a sweet talker, darling." She barked the words playfully and pecked his lips with a soft kiss.

"So I've been told." The ram sighed the words against her lips. "I love you, hun..." Tracey growled and wrapped her arms around his neck, pulling him into a furious kiss. Her tail smacking hard against the wall of the dressing room. Her tongue shoved against his own while they deepened the kiss together.

"I'm out!" Max threw a hand up and quickly scurried out before the two could get any more hands-on.

Tracey and Leo grinned as Max shut the door. "Well, that's one way to get some privacy." The ram laughed out playfully.

"Hmm... who said it was a ploy?" Tracey growled while gripping his white and pink vest and pulled him along to the nearby sofa. The wolf fell back onto the cushions, pulling the ram down on top of her.

Leo grinned down at Tracey, his emerald eyes shining while staring into her own azure irises. The wolf grinned back and flicked her ears up. "Yeah yeah... I love you too, Darling."

"That's what I wanted to hear..." He spoke the words playfully and unbuckled her belt, tugging her pants open to reveal her white panties. The ram gave a needy sigh when her eager scent hit his nose. "You smell great..."

"You smell even better, you had the poor girl panting from leaning so close to her..." Tracey barked out as he wrenched her pants down along with her panties, exposing her wet folds to him. "H-hey! Take my damn boots off first!"

"No need." Leo hummed the words and dragged her bunched up pants and panties to just her knees, pushing her legs together and pushing them towards her chest.

Tracey barked out at the awkward position, her tail thrashing about as she grabbed her own legs at the knees, holding them. "Perverted fucking sheep..." She panted the words and lolled her tongue. When he unzipped and pulled his length out, his scent overwhelmed her and the dog barked out impatiently. "Ha... fuck... hurry up..."

"Always so impatient..." The idol cooed the words, gripping at Tracey's own hands where she held under her knees. He gave her a cocky grin and pushed the tip of his length to her entrance. His hips ground gently, teasing her for a few moments before the head pushed into her.

The dog let out a soft groan when he pushed in, then grit her teeth and folded her ears while he filled her. "Fuck... I missed you..." She shuddered, then let out a soft yip when he bumped deep into her. Tracey bit her lower lip and blinked up at her ram while he loomed over her.

"I missed you too... I wanted you the whole performance... especially after our dance." Leo sighed the words and began to thrust and push against her smaller body. "Hgn... you're really tight in this position..."

The wolf lolled her tongue and moaned blissfully as he pushed her over the edge. Her nails dug into his chest while she blinked up at him. "Ha... ha... so good... you're so good to me..."

"If anyone is... ngh..." He drooped his own ears and clenched his teeth, feeling her lockdown hard on him again. "F-fuck... again?"

Tracey gave him a childish grin and lifted her ears. "What can I say? You... huff... feel good... and I really wanted you too."

He shook his head and reigned his focus in, picking up his movements. "Ha... as I was saying... if anyone is spoiled here... it's me... you're so amazing to me, Hun..."

She showed her teeth, her ears folded while she panted and moaned in time to his movements. "Sappy ram... ngh..." She weakly wagged her tail while he took his time, giving her thrust after thrust.

Leo pulled her legs to his chest, holding them with one arm. His other hand moved to brush over the wolf's cheek. "You bring out the romantic in me..." He sighed the words, his thrusts heavy and labored now, shoving almost painfully into her as she yipped out gently. She could feel him building closer with each eager push.

"B-bullshit! You've always been an... urf!" Tracy felt him cut her off with a heavy deep push. The wolf lolled her tongue and shoved her hand against his chest over her locket. Her nails dug in as she shuddered and cried out, feeling him force another from her while filling her with his own fiery love.

"Ngh... fucking love you..." Leo snarled the words, grinding against her smaller body, giving in to her again and again.

She nodded her head. "Yes... I love you too... fucking... so much!" She barked the words sharply back at him, her azure eyes staring into his blazing emerald ones. Tracey shivered then let out a satisfied groan, feeling her walls ease after having taken the last of what he had for her, "Fuck..."

Leo slumped over her and nodded his head, a pleased pant on his breath. "Don't you worry, Hun. You're the only one I want..."

Tracey folded her ears and closed her eyes, smiling as he kissed her forehead. "Thank you, Darling... I promise to stay with you through thick and thin."

A week passed and the photos and videos of the concert dropped like a bomb on social media. For better or worse Electric Blue was trending for several days afterward.

Leo found himself in the corporate office of his label that he worked under. It had always been the intention to stop in during this leg of the tour. However, maybe not under these sorts of circumstances.

The idol walked into the office of the vice president of his record label, the one in charge of the signing and renewals of contracts. Max and Tracey were in tow with him. Since the moment he hit the door of the building, Leo had been giving off the haughty diva vibe in spades.

The office was covered in platinum record plaques and various other musical memorabilia. The VP of the label sat at a ridiculously lavish-looking desk, the wood finish so polished it reflected like a mirror. The aged man was a goat with short clipped grey hair, wearing a suit that looked like it would cost Tracey a month's pay.

"Nice to see you again, Leonard." The goat nodded at Tracey. "Tell your dog to wait outside."

The wolf showed her teeth and growled right away. Leo held a hand up to her. "Relax..." He spoke to her gently. "Actually... she is privately contracted by me, she is on my dime. So kindly blow it out your ass, Jacob." The idol spoke the words in a professional tone as if he were being nothing but formal.

Jacob gave him a tired look and rolled his eyes. "Whatever... sit down and let's talk."

Leo and Max took the only two chairs in front of the desk. Tracey folded her arms and stayed near the exit, a few feet behind Leo. She stuck her nose up in the air and gave the goat a cold stare as if the only thing keeping her off him was Leo.

"So let's get to it, I'm here to renegotiate my contract." The idol folded his hands in his lap and gave the goat a cocky grin.

"Renegotiate? You're kidding right?" Jacob gave him an amused grin and peaked his fingertips while looking between him and Max. "You think we don't keep up with the news, Leonard? You're lucky if we don't terminate your contract and sue you for breaking the clause in it."

Leo snorts a laugh and opens his mouth to speak but Max cuts him off. "Actually, Jacob... I've already been in touch with several lawyers, including our very own here at the label." The rat gave the goat an apologetic smile. "According to his contract, he cannot openly confess to a relationship. So long as Leonard doesn't outright say 'I'm in a relationship'. You've got nothing to go on, so please... don't waste our time with that one." The rat showed his teeth before leaning back into the chair.

"I'm sorry, Maximillian. Whose payroll are you on?" The goat clipped the words out sharply while glaring at the rat.

"Signing my paycheck does not win you my loyalty, Jacob. Leonard is my friend and the one I work under, you guys are just the middleman." Max gave a shrug of his shoulder.

Leo cleared his throat to get the attention back to him. "So... with that out of the way, about my contract ren-"

"Leonard, you're lucky if we keep you working for us at all after this stunt. You seriously think you've got any grounds to renegotiate?" The VP grumbled the words and cut his eyes towards Tracey as he mentioned the word, 'stunt'.
