Chapter 1
#1 of Ken's Suprise
It started out like any other day, he was thinking. But where did it go so wrong? How did I end up hogtied, pawcuffed, and blindfolded in a strange building? "Ooh yeah.... It was that party that Tamara invited me to" he groggily remembered as he shook his head and mane gently. "Ooh he sure is a good hoss Tamara! Where'd ya find him?" "That â€" is my little secret, hun" I am so going to kick her ass when I get out of here, Ken thought. Now if only I could recognize the other voices. "Oooh! Oooh! He's coming round! Can I get first crack at him? Please? Please? " a strangely familiar â€" ken realized it was male- voice said. Now if only he could get a look, he'd be able to get some tails whooped. "Wait your turn, mister!" Tamara giggled out as she started, or at least ken assumed it was Tamara, stroking his shoulders. "You'll have your fun with him soon enough" "Look â€" I don't know who you are â€" except for you, Tamara â€" but if you don't let me out of here, I'm going to have to force my way out. And I can't be responsible for anyone who gets hurt" ken irritably snapped as he shook himself trying to loosen the blindfold. The whole room seemed to erupt in laughter as about 20 paws were clapped on Ken from all sides. They lifted him with ease and started walking somewhere. "Allrighty then â€" lets get him upstairs to the chamber!" the male who had spoken earlier said as they the group started to carry ken up some stairs. "Tamara â€" I don't know what the FUCK you're up to, but if you know what's good for you, you will put me down and release me. Cause if you don't, I swear to high heaven above that I will not hold back from pounding your ass!" Ken shouted out, hoping his threat would get him released. He did have a nasty reputation around the area for being the guy who kept his word with beatings, even though he had only beat a bully senseless once in his life â€" the reputation that he gained from it was what had protected him so far. "Oooh, we got a willing one now, don't we? Hurry up! I've been wanting this for a long time!" Tamara squealed as the group started to move faster. Ken had the feeling he might not have said something right. But ken could not say another word after that â€" he had been gagged with a bridle and bit! He flattened his ears, snorted loudly, and started shaking himself to be free of his captors. Ken could not stand being bridled and led around like a common horse. It had been done to him in the past, and that was what caused the bully to end up in a wheel chair for the rest of his natural life, along with a full body cast for two years. "Oooh shit... Who put the fucking bridle on him?" Tamara shouted as Ken felt all the hands let go of him. He fell roughly to the floor, and realized that his legs had been untied. He squirmed around, trying to get up. He finally succeeded, and snorted violently. He could hear everyone's breathing, as they stood rooted to the ground in sheer terror of the massive, enraged hoss before them. "WHERE THE FUCK IS THE DOOR!? AND WHO PUT THIS FUCKING BIT IN MY MOUTH?!?! WHICH ONE OF YOU FUCKING BASTARDS DID IT?!? TELL ME AND I'LL ONLY PARALIZE YOU HALFWAY!!!!!!!!" he bellowed as he charged blindly towards the breathing. Apparently, the group had suspected this, and had a large sheet stretched out infront of him. As Ken charged blindly into the sheet, the group snared him up in it and pretty much bagged him. "God damn it â€" I swear that if I didn't want this as bad as you guys, I'd let him loose on you all and laugh my ass off!" Tamara hissed through clenched teeth at the others. "Ken â€" please try to calm down. I'm really sorry it went that far. I swear I'll make it up to you â€" I promise I will. Just give me a chance, ok?" she asked Ken, who was struggling madly in the sheet as the group hefted it up the stairs to ‘the chamber'. "Tamara â€" I swear â€" I mean it â€" I swear I'm going to break each bone in your paws and tail once I get out of here if you don't adequately make it up to me. And as for the rest â€" I hope they've got good medical coverage" he growled out from the sheets. Several members of the group suddenly grew pale and stopped. "Unless they make it worth it. But still â€" I doubt they can make up for the humiliation of a bit in my mouth.... "he muttered. "Ken â€" I promise you I will make it worth it. I promise. You know I always do what I promise" Tamara said calmly to the blanketed figure. The group had now reached the top of the stairs, albeit minus a few members who had refused to take one step further to their supposed deaths. The group took him inside the room, laid the bundle on a large mattress, then darted off to various doors and latched them and shut the windows. "I swear, Ken â€" I will make it up to you. If you'll let me, that is" "Oh, I'll let you, Tamara. But only because I do know you keep your word. Now untie me and then we'll settle the terms." Ken had calmed down now and was laying on his side now, in a semi-fetal position. Tamara motioned to the others and they came over and untied the sheet, exposing Ken again. They all jumped away, each afraid for their spines, since a horse can kick you from just about any angle. But Ken did not stir. Instead, he lay still and snorted impatiently. "Well, you gonna free me?" "Wellllll......., yes..... and no" Tamara said with a seductive tone in her voice. "I'll take the bit off, but not the bridle. I do sincerely apologize for the bit â€" someone didn't listen to me when I said that would piss you off. See, I thought it would be kinda fun to repay you for all the times you've helped me out with homework, walked me home, gotten me out of trouble with the thugs who seem to like getting their asses beat, and most importantly for saving my life from that stalker guy at the club. I wanted to surprise you with a very special treat, and then a few of my friends wanted to help too, since you've helped them out too". As she said this in a very sincere and caring voice, Tamara removed the bit gingerly and undid the pawcuffs, snuggling herself up into the curve of Ken's body. He immediately snapped a hand around and roughly grabbed her left shoulder and shook her violently, but his voice came out very calmly â€" albeit as calmly as a pissed off rattlesnake can be - as he lifted her with ease into the air by her shoulder. "You wanted to surprise me. So you drug me, tie me up, blindfold me, then you let someone put a bit in my mouth, and you refuse to tell me what's going on. Some damned good surprise this is" "Ken â€" put her down! You're hurting her!" someone called out as Tamara cried in pain. Ken was grabbing her shoulder right in the joint, and he seemed like he was trying to dislocate her arm. "Ken â€" please put me down! You're gonna break my shoulder if you keep it up!"Tamara yelped out as Ken squeezed harder, then he loosened his grip and dropped her. Tamara fell to the floor and lay there for a few minutes, breathing heavily and clutching her shoulder. Ken pulled his arm back into himself, then put the other arm out and grabbed tamara by the scruff of her neck. She didn't make a sound, but grimaced in pain. Ken picked her up like a ragdoll and set her on the bed next to him. He propped himself up, and undid the blindfold. He looked at Tamara and then at her shoulder â€" it was bleeding from where he had broken the skin with his grip. His eyes grew wide, and is ears fell back and he changed his posture from a wall to a blanket, and immediately pulled Tamara close to him, his back shaking and heaving with his ragged breath. He buried his head in Tamara's chest fur and shut his eyes tight. What had he done? "T-t-t-tamara......"he stuttered out between heaving breaths and sniffling "I...i... don't know what came over me...." He wrapped his big arms around her back and curled up tightly against her. The others who were in the room weren't sure what to make of this. Here was this giant of a horse, who had a minute ago threatened to kill them all, and had just about crushed Tamara's shoulder into dust, now curled up like a foal on the bed, sobbing into Tamara like she was his mother. Tamara only nuzzled Ken and stroked his neck with her left arm, and pulled his head into her with her right arm. She was crying too, but not just from the pain. Oh, what the hell was I thinking? she asked herself. Why did I think this would work? I should have just told him to come over and not gotten anyone else involved. "Ooh Ken, I'm soo sorry... I'm sorry babe. I just wanted to make it a real special surprise for you... and it turned into a huge mess. It's all my fault.... Can you forgive me?" Ken had looked up at the word babe. He had never heard Tamara call him that. He looked at her slightly puzzled, and then it hit him. She really did like him â€" and he had been so damn blind. He had liked her the moment he set eyes on her. Now it was his turn to comfort. He put one of his massive hands on the back of her head and gently cupped it into his chest as he rubbed her back and shushed her softly. He kissed her between her ears and wrapped himself around her as best as he could. "Tamara â€" I have to admit â€" I've liked you ever since I met you. I never knew you liked me..." Tamara looked up at ken with tears in her eyes, a gentle smile on her muzzle. "Oh Ken, you thick head!" she sputtered out and laughed hysterically. She took both her paws and put them on his cheeks and held his head level with hers, as she gazed into his deep green eyes. The others could very well have been invisible â€" Ken and Tamara could only see each other. The others silently slipped out and locked the door behind them. They had a feeling that there was going to be a very long make up between the two new lovers.
