A flash of shared panic. Keith shouted out "We'll be right there", just as Natani slammed a locking spell on the door.

That was already locked anyway.

Keith saw the wolf's expression start to go sheepish, and found a whole new way to love him. He kissed Natani, just because he could, the little bell on his collar chiming.

He was quickly growing to love that sound.

Natani kissed him back, quickly over his sheepishness, then nudged him away. "Come on, we've gotta... uh."

They were tangled on the floor, Keith topless and his pants ruined, Natani bottomless, and, going by how he'd been before they'd hit the floor, probably leaving a puddle. Keith didn't know if the whole room smelled of an aroused she-wolf, but he wouldn't have been surprised.

"Yeah."

They sprung into action, Natani starting to clean up the physical evidence while Keith stepped into the washroom, peeling off his pants and boxers -- did he ever need to do laundry -- and quickly toweling off before donning spare clothing, not feeling quite fresh, but at least much less of a mess. Natani threw his shirt at him, and he finished dressing, then packed away his messy clothes, making his pack secure.

Natani stood in the middle of the room, completely dressed again, looking around, making sure everything was good. The floor and table were spotless, but Keith could still smell the wolf's potent arousal.

Natani looked at him, then at the collar at his throat. Keith raised his hand to it, and they looked at each other, a moment of decision. The thought of Trace and Flora knowing was a thrill, but then would come the questions. The attention. The needing to put it into words. Keith took the collar off, and Natani nodded at him. It was too new, too private to share. Keith found the stopper for the bell, silencing it, then slipped the collar into his pocket.

He joined Natani in the middle of the room. "What about the scent?"

Natani looked at him, confused. "I already... ah." The wolf smiled, a dawning amusement, then leaned down and briefly pressed his nose against Keith's. Natani grinned. "You're not smelling the room. That's from earlier."

"Ah." A beat. "So I'm just going to have to..."

Natani licked him on the nose. "Deal with it, yeah. A little reminder for you."

Keith swallowed.

Another knock at the door. "Are you about done?" It was Trace, this time.

"Coming!", Keith shouted in Human, knowing it was a word Natani understood.

The morning was a blur. It was a beautiful day, with clear skies, crisp air, and sunlight dancing in the fall foliage, but Keith had barely a thought for any of that, nor could he hold a conversation with Trace or Flora when they tried. He kept stealing looks at Natani, and every time their eyes met, with every flicker of a smile from the wolf, Keith's heart leapt. When the other two weren't paying attention, and Natani reached out touch his ears, just briefly, Keith wanted nothing more than to nuzzle against his throat and stay there. The wolf would surely put his arms around him, and pull him close, and hold him tight.

But they were on the road, and while a small gesture might go unnoticed, being embraced forever probably wouldn't. And there was also the scent, still lingering in his nose, drawing his mind to other things. He wanted to fall to his knees in front of Natani, nuzzle his way under the wolf's waistband, and take the scent again from its source. Take the taste, so strong he fancied he could still feel it at the back of his throat. He wanted to feel the wolf tremble under his tongue, to hear his breathing grow wild, and to see him lose control, his face awash in pleasure.

Keith had to keep sneaking a hand into his pocket, to adjust himself. And there he felt the collar, a promise that this was real and not a daydream.

Well, not just a daydream.

Reality called again in the form of Natani's hand, sneaking down behind Keith to tease his tail, hidden from view as they walked side by side. The wolf's fingers slowly made their way up Keith's tail, toward the base, and the closer he got, the harder it was for Keith to maintain any pretense of normalcy. Did Natani have any idea how good that felt? They'd fallen a bit behind the others now, but...

Natani's fingers reached the base, pushing tight against the fabric of Keith's pants, squeezing, letting the motion of their walking carry out as a short stroke. Keith looked up at him, needing to tell him to stop, not wanting to.

Natani looked at him, and Keith sighed as the wolf's hand fell away. Natani increased the distance between them by a step, then came to a stop. Keith did as well, turning back to look at him.

Natani cleared his throat, then shouted ahead. "Let's take a break! I need to talk to Keith."

The wolf took his hand, pulling him along back down the road. Keith could hear Trace shout behind them, confused. "Where are you going? We--"

Keith glanced back, and saw that Flora had a hand on Trace's arm, and was explaining. Then his attention was back on the wolf.

Natani lead him away, down the road, past a bend, and then into the brush. Deeper. All the while, Keith's heart was hammering in his chest. The first time had been so sudden that there had been no room for anticipation. Now he could guess and second-guess the wolf's purpose.

Natani dropped his pack and rounded on Keith, kissing him, then wrangling his pack off him before backing him into a tree, pinning him there. So hungry. And Keith so hungry for that hunger. He wrapped his arms around Natani's neck, trying to pull him closer. Natani came, sliding past his muzzle to press his nose against Keith's throat, tongue not far behind, lapping at him. The wolf nuzzled up under his chin, and Keith let him, throwing his head back, leaving his neck bare. He could feel Natani's teeth grazing his windpipe, and shivered.

Natani grabbed him, then spun him around. Keith braced against the tree, and could feel Natani's hands make their way lower, to his hips. The wolf pulled him in, tight against his hips, then pushed back, thrusting. Another sharp thrust, pushing him closer to the tree, and Keith's breath caught. What would it be like, if Natani really had the anatomy that he wanted? There was a wildness to the wolf that almost scared him. Would he really be gentle, or would he get carried away? Ravage him?

Would Keith mind if he did? He swallowed. A day ago he would have known. Now he suspected that whatever Natani wanted to do to him, he would welcome it.

The wolf thrust again, straightening his hips, pushing him against the tree, and Keith could feel the coarse bark against his hard cock through the smooth fabric of his pants.

Natani leaned down over him, nibbling and licking at his neck, his breathing heavy as he started fumbling at Keith's belt. Keith freed one of his hands from against the tree and got it around Natani's neck, burrowing it into his hair, anchoring his fingers into the fur of the wolf's neck, egging him on. Natani got the belt open, then went for the buttons, tearing the top one. He pulled Keith's pants off his hips, hard, Keith groaning as his dick was pulled along before popping free and tapping against the cool bark. Keith pushed back with his hips, getting more room, them whimpered as the wolf nipped at his neck to still him.

He ached for Natani's touch.

The wolf grasped at him, one hand grabbing his balls, the other the base of his shaft, hard. Too hard. Keith gasped and squirmed. "Easy! It's s-sensitive. Don't grab it like a sword." Natani eased up a tiny bit. "Looser." A bit more. Still rougher than his own touch, but pleasure overcame discomfort. "T-that's better. Please be careful... with... it..." his words became panting as Natani's hands roamed him, clutching at his balls, tugging at his cock, the haphazard stimulation almost too awkward, almost too powerful, and yet somehow effective as Keith found himself grunting and leaning his head against the tree. And suddenly he was there. "Gonna--" Natani tugged on him, and Keith never got the rest of the words out as he tensed, the sensations too strong to bear. Natani let go as he felt his first pulse, and Keith whimpered as he spent himself in short spurts against the tree.

He couldn't help but laugh. It was one of the worst orgasms of his life, but he wouldn't have traded it for anything. "Natani, could we--"

But the wolf didn't wait for what he had to say, turning him around again, thankfully moving him further around the tree rather than planting him against the spot he'd just painted. Natani crouched down next to him, getting a good look. If Keith hadn't still been hard, seeing the wolf between his legs would surely have done it.

The last of his cum was still glistening at his tip, and Natani darted his tongue out, collecting it and making Keith twitch with the sensation. That forced a little more out, but Natani let it be, instead leaning closer until Keith could feel the wolf's breath on his sack. Natani grasped him again, but lightly, thumb and forefinger pressed right against the base of his shaft.

Natani looked up at him, curious. "You don't have a knot."

"Knot?"

"It's a... bulge, right around here." Natani started slowly massaging the base of Keith's shaft as he spoke. "Swells up. You get it in, and it... locks you to your mate. Hips to hips. Tied."

"Oh." The idea was doing things to Keith. He twitched under Natani's fingers. "For... for how long?"

The wolf grinned. "Until it goes down again. They say it depends on the couple. Could be five minutes. Could be fifteen." Natani looked at him, speculative. "Could be more."

"Is that... what you meant by claiming?"

"Yeah." Natani looked at him. "That's what I want to do to you."

Keith shivered. If he was gentle...

... maybe even if he wasn't ...

... are you sure you don't know where your brother is?

But he couldn't say that. "Natani... the things you've been doing... you're getting through."

"Oh?"

"Yeah. You don't need a dick to make me feel like I'm yours. You don't even need the collar. You just need you."

Natani smiled slowly, then let go of Keith and stood up, leaning against the tree to loom over him. "Is that so?"

Keith nuzzled into Natani's throat, sighing. "Yeah."

A little awkwardly, the wolf changed gears, putting his arms around Keith and pulling him closer. Keith smiled to himself. It was this part of Natani that made Keith want to be his.

Natani stroked his back, prompting him closer, then laughed. "You really don't go soft, do you."

Keith was poking the wolf in the thigh. He grinned into the Natani's fur. "Not with you near."

"Hmm..." Natani pulled away to look at him, with a wicked grin. "So tell me, Keith... do you ever touch yourself?"

Oh, dammit. Keith blushed. "Yeah."

He didn't used to.

Then he'd met Natani.

"Show me."

Keith's ears burned, but he had no way to refuse. He'd asked first. So reluctantly, he touched himself, making a loose fist around his dick and running it a few times along his length, mostly only grasping with the ring of his thumb and forefinger.

Natani was looking at him with interest. It felt so awkward, doing this in front of him.

But on the other hand, Natani had done this for him. Natani.

Suddenly, he loved the wolf even more.

"That light?"

"Y-yeah. It's pretty sensitive. Especially the tip. Maybe wolves are different?"

"Might be." Natani gave a wry smile. "You could say I've only got second hand experience. And not recent, at that."

Keith was aware that his breathing was starting to get heavier. The embarrassment was passing as his pleasure built, and there was also this feeling that he was... showing off... for Natani. That, he maybe didn't mind at all.

Natani moved closer, backing Keith back against the tree and pressing up against his side, then put his hand on Keith's chest before slowly moving it down to his stomach. The wolf's touch made him tingle, then more than tingle as Natani wrapped his thumb and forefinger around the base of Keith's shaft. The rest of the wolf's fingers trailed down to Keith's sack, the touch firm, warm, and enticing. When Keith pulled back on his strokes, he let his fingers pass over Natani's.

Keith slowed his strokes. Natani was holding still, but just having the wolf's hand there was doing things to him.

"That's all there is to it?"

"Sometimes I, um, play with the tip."

"Show me?"

Keith did, loosening his hand and lightly grasping his tip, thumb on top, three fingers on the bottom, sort-of cupping the tip. He rolled the pressure of his fingers slowly over the sensitive underside. "It's slower, but it feels... really good."

Natani looked at what he was doing, curious, shifting his hold on Keith's shaft to mimic the motion, gently rubbing little circles on the underside near the base. "Isn't that kinda like what I do?"

"Maybe?"

"Let me?"

Keith let his arm fall to his side. Slowly, carefully, Natani adjusted his grip again, forming a ring with his thumb and forefinger and letting the rest of his hand follow. Slow strokes, up to the tip, then back down to the base, his fingers grazing Keith's sack on the downstroke.

Keith hadn't even noticed his own touch there, but when it was Natani doing it... he shivered. There were so many things he hadn't noticed, about how fingers met skin, how the pressure tugged at him.... But he was learning them now, as Natani slowly jacked him off.

It was the best thing he'd ever felt.

He could hear the smile in Natani's voice. "You like that?"

Keith looked at the wolf, letting his face and ears do his talking for him.

Natani kissed him, surprisingly gently, then stopped as Keith moaned, dripping pre onto the wolf's hand. Natani looked down again, at where hand met cock, but Keith kept his eyes on the wolf's face. On his expression, so intent, as he changed his hold on Keith, thumb on top, three fingers on the bottom, giving the tip a gentle squeeze before setting to work rhythmically rubbing it, his fingers slick with more and more of Keith's pre.

Keith started to twitch under Natani's touch, his breathing growing ragged as the wolf quickly pushed him toward the edge. Even as all of Keith's world was narrowing into a point somewhere between the tips of Natani's fingers, he kept his eyes on the wolf.

He was so beautiful.

Satisfied that he'd got the hang of it, Natani finally looked back at him. Keith saw wonder on the wolf's face, and didn't know if it was a reflection of his own.

Natani kissed him.

Keith came, bucking into the wolf's hand, some of his load meeting Natani's fingers, some shooting past haphazardly to wherever his jerks pointed him. The wolf never left him, not his muzzle, kissing him softly, stifling his moans, and not his fingers, dancing on his tip, gently squeezing out all he had to give.

Keith's whole body trembled with the strength of his release. He leaned against the tree, hard, his knees suddenly wobbly. He drew a gulping breath, trying to keep steady while the trembling subsided.

Natani was looking at him, smiling. "That's better."

He smiled back, purely happy. "That was amazing."

Natani gave him a kiss. "It looked amazing." The wolf showed his hand, sticky with Keith. "Felt pretty amazing, too." Seemingly absent-mindedly, he took a taste, broad tongue flicking out to collect some of the mess. "Huh. The taste changed."

Natani didn't shove his hand in Keith's face this time, but he did keep it raised, almost in reach. Keith hadn't been thinking at all, that first time he'd tasted himself on Natani; in his haze, he had simply been taking what was offered, and taking it gladly because it was Natani. But he'd seen the wolf's expression after, and he saw it now, and felt that it meant something to him.

So Keith leaned forward to lick at Natani's hand, running his tongue along one of the wolf's long fingers, gathering some of himself and bringing it back to his mouth. It wasn't as thick as that first time, and it did taste different; less pungent.

Not bad at all. Keith smiled at Natani, then lapped at his hand, prompting the wolf to play along and present it for him to clean. Most of the mess was on Natani's middle- and forefingers, and Keith drew them into his mouth, licking them thoroughly clean. He looked at Natani while he was doing it, and the wolf looked back, his fingers toying with Keith's tongue, pressing down on it or trapping it from both sides as Keith cleaned between his fingers.

It definitely meant something to Natani. And while Keith didn't know exactly what that was, he knew he was glad to be doing it.

In time, Natani withdrew his fingers. Keith switched to licking the wolf's palm, smiling. Natani shook his head, amused, and pushed him back by the nose to get him to leave off. The wolf took his thoroughly slick hand back down to keith's still-hard member, giving it a long backhanded stroke, gathering up what had stuck there. Keith sighed happily at the sensation, but Natani brought his hand back up, this time licking it clean himself.

"It's like it's less... something."

"Yeah."

Natani smiled at him, and there was a hint of danger in it. "So maybe I can make you run out..."

Keith blushed a little at the tone, but he'd be up for trying.

Well, he was up for trying.

Natani grinned at his reaction. "But I think we should get back to the others. I didn't mean for this to take as long as it has."

Keith had kinda forgotten they were travelling. He laughed. "Right, yeah." Though, if the wolf put it like that... "I was never going to get a turn?"

Natani scratched at the back of his head. "Uh. I just felt like I had some unfinished business, after how we were interrupted. And how you got when I messed with your tail."

Keith laughed softly. "That's also really sensitive, you know. The base of the tail is... very intimate for basitins."

Natani grinned. "I'll have to remember that. But yeah, I didn't really... look, Keith, being out in the open like this..."

Keith understood, but he still raised his eyebrows, teasing. "So it's okay for me, but not you?"

Natani rolled his eyes. "When it's like this, I can use my magic to shield us, at least enough to have time to react if someone comes. But if it's the other way around... I don't think I could exactly focus."

Keith nodded slowly. "You were doing that?"

"Yeah."

He'd been so in the moment that he hadn't even thought about it, but now that he did, out here in the forest, not really all that far from the road... he pulled his pants back up, suddenly sheepish. "Thanks. I didn't realize." Doing up his buttons, he found one missing. Oh, yeah. "Do you see the button you popped anywhere?"

"Oh, right." Natani quickly found it and handed it to Keith. "Sorry about that."

"It's no problem, I'll just sew it back on later. It's the top one so it's under the belt anyway." Keith showed his front, done up and belt buckled. You couldn't tell a button was missing, unless you looked really closely. "Um, if anything, it might mean a bit less pressure."

Natani grinned. "Yeah, I've seen you with your hand in your pocket."

"And whose fault do you think that is?" Keith looked up at Natani, and suddenly, he had to know. "Natani... is it just the magic? I'm not saying you have to let me return the favor or anything, but... if the situation was right, would you want me to? I know you were worried about it. Though, um, I didn't get the feeling that you had any regrets."

"Keith..." Natani sighed. "No, I don't regret it. But it's... the things I want to do to you... Look. Everything I wanted to do to you, I still do. But I also can't stop thinking about shoving your head between my legs. And that's a change."

Oh. Keith felt the blush tint his ears. He didn't fight it; he rather liked how Natani reacted to it. "I, um, keep thinking about that too."

Natani snorted, the tension leaving him. "It felt good. It felt really, really good. And I don't know how to feel about that."

"Natani..." Keith took the wolf's hand in both of his, and gave it a squeeze. How to put what he felt? "Things that feel good feel good. I don't think it has to mean anything more than that."

Natani looked at him for a long moment, then flashed a smile. "Things that feel good feel good, huh?"

"Yeah."

"Well, tell you what, Keith..." Natani leaned over him. "Next time we've got a room to ourselves, with a door that actually locks, and no windows somebody can look in through..."

Keith swallowed. "Yeah?"

Natani stroked him under the chin. "I'm going to put your muzzle where I want it, and you're going to return every favor. And if you do good, maybe I'll let you stay there."

Keith blushed crimson. He'd dreamt of something like this, only to wake up panting and distraught at having thought of Natani in that way.

Reality was much, much better.

Natani tweaked one of Keith's ears, a smile flickering on his muzzle. "Come on, we need to get back."

Keith cleared his throat. It did nothing to dislodge the mental images. "Yeah."

He did get himself back under control as they retraced their steps. When they got near, they could smell food. Trace and Flora had found a traveler's resting spot, a little farther down the road, with logs for seats and a firepit. Trace was roasting himself some sausages while Flora was already eating hers raw.

Flora greeted them brightly, but Trace sounded a little gruff. "You were taking so long we figured we might as well make this lunch."

"Sorry about that." Keith's stomach grumbled, and he almost laughed as he heard an echo from Natani. "Good idea though, I could really use some food about now."

Natani got the idea without any translating -- some things are universal -- and they rummaged through their packs to come up with lunch. Keith had plenty of rations he could have eaten cold, but when you've got a fire... he certainly preferred his food both cooked and hot. Natani seemed to share his tastes in that respect, though the wolf went a lot more heavily for meat than Keith did.

After they'd eaten, Natani made coffee. It was something he'd taken to doing since he'd been out of touch with his brother. Keith always drank it, and this time both Trace and Flora did as well, though Flora only took a little and immediately started making faces.

When Natani had finished pouring and settled down with his own mug, sitting opposite the fading fire from Trace and Flora, Keith sat down next to the wolf, just a bit closer than he would have a day earlier. Natani gave him a sidelong glance, and Keith feigned nonchalance while behind them, he curled his tail around the wolf's. A moment later, Natani returned the gesture, and Keith tingled with anticipation.

They should make the next town by evening.

Keith took a sip of his coffee, and smiled. It was dark and strong, just the way he liked it.
