A story by our lovely tigress:

“Here, these are the notes I took in class. You can have a look at them if you want.” Alex said with a smile as she handed over a few notebooks and loose sheets of paper to her Doberman friend Jake. Jake had come over to study for a final with Alex. Finals were hard, and Alex saw absolutely no harm in helping a friend out by sharing her notes and tutoring him a bit. “You can read those over and after that, you should be all caught up.”

“Thanks, Alex,” said Jake as he took the notebooks into his hand.

Alex took lots of notes whenever she attended class. She was far from the perfect student, having her fair share of days she didn’t feel like going to class, but her grades were still good. She was a smart cat! That wasn’t to say that Jake wasn’t a good student either, Alex didn’t know what his grades were like, but when he asked her if they could study together, she wasn’t going to say no. If his grades weren’t doing too well, she would be happy to try and help him bring them up, and if his grades were higher than hers, having him over to study would more than likely help bring her grades up! There was nothing to lose.

Jake was in his jeans and a tight-fit muscle shirt. It clung to his toned form nicely. To say that Alex didn’t ogle at him as she handed him those notes would be the biggest lie.

Alex, on the other hand, was in her usual stay-at-home attire. She hadn’t made any plans to go anywhere, so staying in her apartment didn’t require her to dress with any level of formality. A reddish-orange crop-top and matching shorts.

“No problem!” Alex smiled, avoiding eye contact with the Doberman at first as she had just been staring at his pecs and was afraid that he noticed. Jake did notice; however, all he did was smirk at her.

“Well, if you find any part of it hard to read or understand because of my handwriting, just ask and I’ll translate from Alex to English for you.” She laughed, her cheeks going slightly red as she returned the eye contact that she had been avoiding. God damn, his eyes were gorgeous.

“Will do,” Jake said with another smile that was swiftly followed by a wink.

With that, Alex watched him go to the desk in the opposite corner of her room. After watching him seat himself, she turned on her heels and made her way to her bed to do her own thing while Jake caught up with her so they could get to studying together.
A few hours passed by, and Alex ended up drawing in her little notebook. Just small doodles of trees, birds and hearts. She hummed a few songs here and there, much to Jake’s dismay. Jake would grunt and sigh in response a few times before Alex realized that she was annoying the Doberman with her noises.

After a bit more time, a few pages of doodles, Alex heard Jake sigh and close the notebooks. Alex turned to look at him and saw him stacking up the loose sheets of paper. “You all caught up?” She asked.

“Mhnmm!” replied Jake, standing up from the desk and stretching his arms up over his head. His movements were graceful, so smooth. The way he stretched really showed off his muscles, and Alex found herself staring at him again. The way his muscles shifted and responded to his movements had Alex putting her pen against her mouth and biting on the clicker.

After his long stretch, Jake turned around to face Alex and spotted her staring. But once again, he did not say anything about it, instead looked over his shoulder at the bathroom behind him. He gestured towards it, “I need to take a leak.” He slowly turned away and walked towards the bathroom, closing the door and locking it behind him.

“Don’t forget to flush.” She whispered to herself before pulling the pen away from her teeth. Bad habit! Letting out a heavy sigh, she turned back to her book of doodles and turned the page. “Okay, now to actually do some studying.” She chuckled.

She quickly realized that she had been doodling in her personal journal and not any of her study related notebooks. She turned page after page to find her thoughts and feelings written on many of the pages. It took her maybe five seconds to find a page that was empty. Sighing, she shook her head. “Alright, I’ll start studying when he’s out of the bathroom.”

She glanced over her shoulder to make sure he was still in the bathroom. She could hear the quiet sound of water splashing the toilet bowl. Confident that Jake was still going to be in the toilet for a bit, she turned back to her journal and put her pen down onto the paper.

This guy I really like, Jake, is over today. He’s here to study finals with me and he’s wearing that SHIRT again! That tight muscle shirt he wears to marketing class. I can’t stop looking at him, his shirt is too tight. It’s driving me crazy..

She huffed, a big bright red tint appeared on her cheeks. She was so focused on her little journal writing project that she didn’t hear the bathroom door open up.

Jake left the bathroom after his little leak and had taken off all his clothes, all but one piece of clothing.

His boxers.

He snickered at the sight of Alex still on the bed moving her pen around in her notebook. He took steps towards the bed and slowly climbed onto it. Only then did Alex stop her writing, her pen freezing n place on the page. She turned over her shoulder and saw Jake half naked, on her bed.

“Oh hey, Jake!” she said, slightly startled. To her knowledge, he had teleported from the bathroom to the bed.

“Hey,” he smiled, crawling closer to the tiger and bringing a hand towards her chin, using one clawed finger to lift her chin up.

Alex was red and speechless; however, she did mange to say something after a few seconds.

“So uh… Did you want to go over the Marketing Mix first? Or..” she trailed off as she stared into Jake’s glowing purple eyes.

Jake didn’t speak, he just leaned himself forward and pressed his lips to Alex’s. Alex did not protest, her grip on her pen loosened and she eventually let go of the pen to bring her hands to Jake’s cheeks. Jake fell onto her and the bed let out a loud squeak.

She never did get to write more about her day in that journal, but that page did get a little wet and the ink smudged around like crazy.
