The Publicly Innocent World Of Darius

Extra Stage 1.0 - The thrill of the Hunt

///Narrator: Ever wonder what was June doing before she met Darius? Here is your answer.///

June's hips swayed from side to side as she made her way through the crowded bar. There was a haze in the air that dimmed the dusty lighting, giving the patrons a washed out sort of look. She sauntered around a table of caribou. Construction workers fresh off the job site judging by the hard hats hanging off the backs of their chairs and the all around dirty, dusty demeanor of the crew. She could feel their eyes upon her backside, soaking in her curves and the way her short tail flicked to and from with each step.

June knew she looked good, she always looked good and doubly so tonight. She was wearing her husband's favorite dress, the scarlet satin hugged every curve and left nothing to the imagination. Harry would be disappointed that he didn't get to see her wearing it tonight, but tonight wasn't for him. Tonight was all about her and she was hungry for the hunt.

A smile lit up her face as she finally caught sight of her girlfriends. Giselle the gazelle was leaning on the table, her hand in the air waving at June. June picked up the pace, gracefully making her way to the table.

"About time you showed up." Said Kora, the lioness glanced up from her mug.

"We were starting to wonder if we were at the wrong place." added Giselle.

"Oh shush, I'm barely late at all. I ran into someone in the parking lot. Real nice guy, just not my type. You know how it is." said Jane as she slid into the booth, placing her handbag between her feet. She raised a hand and gave a quick nod to the server. "So, what have I missed?"

"Not much. Leon is out of town on business for the week, so it's been pleasantly quiet." said Kora before tipping her head back and downing the dregs in her mug. With a satisfied sigh she set the mug back down and added, "You should come by tomorrow, watch a movie or something."

"That sounds like a nice idea, I think I will." said June. She smiled as the server approached their table. "Hi, hun, I'll have a Rum Runner"

"Refill." Said Kora as she raised her mug.

"Sure thing, I'll be right back, ladies." The server stuffed her pencil back into her pouch and then turned to leave.

"Well I just got off a 14 hour shift and I am utterly exhausted." Said Giselle.

"That's your own fault for going into nursing, Giselle. I warned you that it wasn't worth the pay" said June as she scanned her eyes over the nearby tables.

"What are you so dressed up for anyway, June?" asked Kora, glaring at June through narrowed eyes. Giselle looked the hippo over as though seeing her for the first time tonight.

Giselle gasped, "No, no you are not. Not tonight, June!"

"Oh shush," June waved the back of her hand towards the two women.

"Harry is going to kill you!" Giselle frantically whispered. Kora crossed her arms and sat back in the seat.

"You just don't learn do you? Well, what are you looking for tonight?" she purred.

"No, shush, stop encouraging her!" groaned Giselle. "She gets into plenty of trouble all on her own without you helping her."

Kora shrugged, "She's going to do it whether we help her or not. Might as well have fun with it. So, what's it going to be tonight? In the mood for venison?" she asked as she tilted her head towards the table of caribou.

June shook her head, "No, too easy."

"Oh ho," Kora raised an eyebrow. "Looking for a hunt tonight then."
