Gruff could have blamed the wine he had just sipped for his inattention, or claimed pathological clumsiness, but it was still a hard fact that he was the one who bumped onto the white-furred cat while on his way out from the Champagne Lounge.
"...but don't let the space age decor fool you into thinking that this is just some lame retro bar, guys. On the--"
The white puma's narration was abruptly cut when a tiger backed onto him and caused the cat to drop his GoPro to the purple carpet of the floor. The puma let out a surprised yelp, both from the collision and from the knowledge that his prized gadget had just fallen down with possibly dire effects.
"Whoa hey! God damn..." The puma winced, quickly picking up the GoPro and checking if there was any cracks or deformities. Thankfully, there seemed to be none from the outside, but the screen was off. The feline breathed a sigh of relief when he found out that the screen just switched off. Shaking his head, he stopped the recording and turned to the person-- a male tiger who looked around his own age, maybe older, had caused him to drop his prized camera, concerning that the device was his lifeline to his source of income. He couldn't help but give an annoyed glare at the tiger. His fellow feline looked over to him with concerned eyes through a pair of pince-nez glasses propped on his muzzle.
"Anteeksi!" The tiger said. "Ursäkta mig! Excuse me!"
He did not recognize the language, but thankfully, the tiger seemed to notice his blank expression and switched to English at least.
"Watch where you're going next time!" The puma grumbled, holding his GoPro tightly while he tapped the controls to check if all of his previous recordings were still intact.
"I am so very sorry!" the tiger said quickly. "I genuinely did not see you there, and I apologize fully!"
The puma glared at the tiger. He did look apologetic enough, and did not smell too much like alcohol which would suggested that his state of intoxication caused him to stagger at the puma.
Sighing, the white furred feline nodded, tail swishing somewhat agitatedly behind him as he switched off the camera after seeing that everything was indeed alright.
"Well, at least you didn't break my GoPro." He said with a rather tight smile. "It's alright, nothing broke." He added, seeing the nervous look on the tiger's face.
The cat's expression didn't lighten up much, despite the puma's assurances.
"Those are not cheap to replace!" he said, pointing out the device the puma clutched protectively still.
A small chuckle and a sigh escaped the white puma's lips. "Yeah, they aren't. But I still got my backup camera and whatnot... well, let's not dwell on that." He said, stashing the GoPro into his sling bag, which was slung over his thin leather jacket. "Sorry for snapping at you earlier." He sounded quite apologetic this time, rubbing the back of his neck.
"Oh you had the right to, of course!" said the tiger. "My inattention almost cost you a camera - and did you mention you have another one? Does that mean that you are not simply taking a casual selfie of yourself? You sound much more involved than that!"
His words came quite quickly and flowed in perfectly beautiful English, with a hint of a foreign accent the puma couldn't identify.
"Nah, not another GoPro. Just a small Canon video camera as a backup in case my GoPro went and died on me," said the puma. "And no, I wasn't taking a selfie." He added with a chuckle. "I'm making a vlog on the whole trip on this ship and then some."
The tiger let out a more pleased purr now that the conversation had taken a turn for the more normal.
"Oh yes?" he questioned. "Are you working for Viking Line?"
"Not exactly." The puma laughed. "I'm a travel vlogger actually. Got sponsored by a travel agency to cover their European Trip itinerary."
He grinned.
"And the pay is good, and I actually wanted to go to Europe, so yeap..."
The tiger's ears perked with obvious curiosity.
"Ohhhh...well that is fantastic!" he grinned. "So you've been filming your adventures ever since you departed...The United States, I would guess? Based on how you speak...you're not Canadian, are you?"
That brought a chuckle out of the puma. "Yeah, I'm from the United States, but I live pretty close to Canada."
The tiger nodded enthusiastically.
"And yeah! The journey has been really great so far! Met a couple of vloggers, friendly and helpful locals, and yeah, adventure." He grinned, his long white tail looping around behind him.
"Well that is most great to hear!" said the tiger. "I suppose that sharing all that is better than just making a few drunken Facebook pictures from your cruise..."
The puma snorted. "Haha, yeah." He said, grinning slightly. "Well, I was filming a vlog on the Champagne Lounge when you bumped into me. No worries though." He shrugged, still grinning.
"I'm Rod by the way. Rod Erichsen... and I don't believe you had heard my channel." He added in a joking manner, while extending his now camera-free paw.
The tiger took the offered greeting and returned it with a measured squeeze.
"I am Gruff...and I have to admit to my ignorance on that matter," the striped cat said.
"Nice to meet you Gruff." Rod smiled. "And no worries. Not many people know my vlogs at this moment." He chuckled.
The tiger nodded.
"I have bumped into a rising star then," he commented with another appreciative purr at the puma in question.
Rod chuckled. "Well, that's a nice thought." He grinned appreciatively. "What about you Gruff? What brings you on this ferry cruise?"
The tiger chuckled in the same easy manner as the puma was smiling. It was obvious that he was enjoying the surprise company of his new acquaintance.
"Transport!" he said. "It may not be as fast as a plane but it is kind of...part of the deal when travelling between Sweden and Finland. Call it a part of our cultural heritage, even!"
The way he spoke was so cheeky that it was surely somewhat difficult for the puma to determine whether the tiger was being serious or not.
"Oh, so you're from Finland?" Rod guessed.
"Isn't that where we are going?" mused the tiger. "And yes I am. Don't hold it against me!"
"Oh nice, nice. Maybe you could be my guide around Finland once we dock," the white furred feline joked.
The tiger smirked.
"Didn't do your research on the sights of Turku?" he suggested.
"Haha, I'd be a bad travel vlogger if I didn't research about my destination." The puma chuckled.
"What I'm more concerned about is the language. I know a little bit of French and German, but not much else. Finnish is definitely not on my list." He added sheepishly, scratching the back of his head, tongue poking out slightly from his lips.
"Hmm...that has even had historical implications, my father would undoubtedly say," Gruff noted, "but I think you'll be fine. Especially the younger generations are prone to speak English. Sometimes very well too."
"Well, that is certainly a relieve." Rod nodded.
"Though, I'm not sure if English is a widely spoken language in Russia." he said. "Especially in the eastern parts. My journey will end in Siberia, you see."
The tiger chuckled.
"Going all the way to Vladivostok?" he mused.
The puma nodded. "Yeap. One long trip on the Trans-Siberian will be the finale for my European tour." He chuckled. "Still couldn't believe I'm going all the way across two continents in the span of several weeks."
"But that puts you already into the Far East!" the tiger declared. "Will you then fly back to the United States?"
"Yes, I'll be flying to Anchorage, before making several transits to town." The puma replied with a nod.
"You certainly are a cat who gets around," the tiger commented. "You definitely must enjoy even those parts of the trips...although this hardly compares to sitting 14 hours on a plane..."
He waved a paw about their glossy surroundings to indicate them.
"It's not exactly old world charm but I suppose it's still more comfortable than flying?" Gruff said.
"I can agree with you on that. I'd honestly take a ship or a train rather than flying," came Rod's reply. "Close-quartered confines on a plane are not really my favorite thing."
"Well you aren't exactly tiny either..." said the tiger while giving him an appraising look.
Rod gave the tiger a wry grin. He hadn't missed the tiger's gaze.
"Do I really look that heavy?"
The tiger continued to keep his eyes on the cat.
"No, just that someone as tall as you and with broad shoulders and hips might find it uncomfortable cooped up on such a small seat for so long with so little space...and here you can stretch your legs and have all the breathing room you need!"
"Quite right there." Rod nodded. "Can't exactly call air travel glamorous by any means."
The tiger chuckled.
"Unless you are willing to fork out the equivalent of the price of a small car to buy that first class ticket,"
The puma guffawed. "Unless I got lucky and get an upgrade, half of my earnings will go poof." he made an exploding gesture with his paws.
The tiger snickered as well.
"Well this ship might not exactly be a floating Ritz hotel but it does the job, don't you think?"
Rod nodded. "It's really neat. It's clean, it has modern amenities, you get a comfortable bed, good food, and the company is pretty great too." He grinned. "Wouldn't dream of asking anything more." He said.
The tiger pursed his lips with mirth.
"Well that is true...you never know just how pleasant people you might run into...sometimes literally!" he grinned.
The puma smiled at the tiger, eyebrow raised a smidge in amusement.
"Yes, that's quite true." He said. "Well, the hallway is not a good place to chat and hang about... you've just came from the Champagne Lounge, yes?"
The tiger flicked his tail towards the entrance into the said place.
"I think you witnessed me staggering out of it, so to speak," Gruff said.
Rod nodded. "Mhmm, would you like to go to the cafe? I think it's much more comfortable to talk there rather than standing around in the hallways." he chuckled.
"Well you never know who you might run into here, indeed..." the tiger suggested. "I think the cafe would be nice. They did advertise that they are serving delicious treats throughout the night. And it is early yet. Perhaps a coffee or a drink would be suitable compensation for almost breaking your camera."
The puma grinned brightly. "Well, if you insist. You know the way? I still got lost even with the information boards here and there." He chuckled sheepishly, ears flicking.
"Even with them being in English?" the tiger was obviously teasing with that remark.
"With a ferry that's almost the size of the Titanic, I'll hardly find it surprising if anyone really got lost onboard." Rod chuckled.
The tiger snuffled.
"Do you think it's proper to evoke that name while on a ship?" he smirked.
The white furred puma rolled his eyes, smirking. "I hardly think that the name's cursed or anything." He snorted, folding his arms. "Besides... we've got lifeboats and floating rafts for everyone onboard." He added.
The tiger chuckled.
"Is that a selling asset for the American consumer?" he suggested.
"I think the average American holiday-goer will be much more interested with swimming pools, clubs, and the casino." Came the puma's reply.
"Speaking of clubs, I think this ferry has one. Might need to do a short vlog about it sometime." He added thoughtfully.
The tiger grinned and swung his tail close to the puma's.
"And this ship also happens to have a swimming pool, and a casino..." he stated. "So we ought to have all you need then!"
Rod cocked his head at the tiger, still sporting the small grin on his face. "I guess I'll need to find my way around then." He chuckled. "How good is the coffee at the cafe?" He couldn't help but ask.
The tiger snickered.
"Strong enough that you could probably run the ship's engines on it," he mused.
A laugh escaped Rod's lips. "Well then, I think I'll be enjoying it." He gestured with his paw, tilting his head slightly at the tiger. "Lead the way then."
"Trusting me to know it?" said the tiger. "It is my first time onboard too..."
"Oh, well, you sound like you know the place." The puma chuckled sheepishly, rubbing the back of his neck.
"They have signs," the tiger pointed one out at the nearby wall, "they are all in Finnish, Swedish and English, too..."
"Ah well, no time like the present," said the white furred puma, adjusting his slingbag, tail swishing slowly behind his back.
"As you insist..." the tiger commented. "This way, I think..."
He led the puma along the hallway and down the broad staircase to the deck below. The area they entered was populated by numerous furs standing in front of slot machines and slapping coins into their jangling depths in the hopes of funding a new cruise, perhaps. The clatter and jingles made it a rather noisy space. The doors into the cafe were visible on the other side.
"There!" Gruff pointed. "Your coffee haven awaits!"
The puma chuckled as he looked around the cafe. It had the general, cozy and fuzzy atmosphere, enhanced with the light shades of blue, beige, and pinks which dominated its decor scheme. Despite the hour, there were still a few passengers lounging inside the cafe, enjoying hot drinks, sandwiches and snacks, and even some simple meals. Rod decided right away that he would have breakfast in this place tomorrow, and also highlighting the area in his vlog.
The numerous brightly lit serving stations were packed with food. The tiger could see the cat's slight surprise at this.
"People come here to have fun," he noted, "on the ships. They expect to have food, fun and games around the clock! So if I want to have some Swedish meatballs, or a ham sandwich, or a cappuccino with a cinnamon bun at three in the morning after I have partied my tail off at the nightclub...the ship provides!"
"It's surely a fun ferry." The puma chuckled, looking through the selection of food on display. In the end, he took a few slices of strudel, a couple of macarons, and an assortment of puff pastries with a huge cup of espresso. He wondered if the ship even stocked small cups, considering how big the tiger's cup of regular coffee was as well. Gruff's own plate contained a giant cinnamon bun, several brightly colored macarons, and a croissant. He saw the puma's look on his selection, and smirked.
"Salty and sweet...in perfect balance," he stated.
"Just like the name of the cafe, eh?" Rod couldn't help but remark, chuckling.
With that thought, the two felines settled on a table by the wide window, which gave view of the sea outside, even though at the moment, Rod could only see his and Gruff's reflections on the glass pane. Dainty steam rose from their sizeable mugs. Laughter run from somewhere behind them., and the faint rumble of bass came from the other direction, from the several bars located amidships.
"So, do you take this kind of cruise ferries often?" Rod asked as he sipped his piping hot espresso, ears flicking as he caught the voices almost painfully mainstream pop music being played somewhere. "And I guess the bars are just behind this area eh?"
The tiger pointed them out.
"With karaoke and everything if you like that sort of stuff", Gruff said. "And I'm afraid not. I tend to fly these kind of distances. Although I do plan to take one of those long cruises one day, just to enjoy that kind of an experience. This doesn't quite compare to a Cunard liner, does it?"
Rod raised an eyebrow. "I wouldn't know... never been on one to be honest." The white furred feline said, taking a bite from a strudel. "Would be nice if I could board the Queen Mary 2 on a transatlantic voyage." He chuckled.
The tiger's smile suggested that he agreed.
"You'd love to film some old fashioned charm for your diaries?" he suggested.
"If I can afford it, yes I think I'd love to film something like it." Rod nodded at the tiger with a small grin.
"I take it you're a ship enthusiast?" he guessed, his tail swishing gently.
The tiger smiled.
"You could say that I have a certain fondness," he mused. "I do come from a shipbuilding nation too, did you know? This very ship was built in the city where we are heading in Finland, Turku."
"Ah, really? That's interesting." Rod nodded with a chuckle. "I'm more of a train person, personally." He couldn't help but add, tongue poking out slightly.
The tiger's eyes appeared to twinkle.
"Do you plan to sample the wonderful 'Valtion Rautatiet' when you are in Finland?" he asked.
The puma grinned at the tiger. "Oh, of course! Gonna be sampling the train rides when we arrive in Finland." He nodded. "Then I'll take the Allegro to St. Petersburg after I've done my Finnish segment of my journey. Then, on board the Trans-Siberian to Vladivostok!"
The feline seem to quiet down suddenly, appearing to feel slightly embarrassed for his momentary outburst of excitement. His tail curled around him slightly as he said, "So yeah, that's about it," in a quieter tone and took a huge bite from his strudel.
The tiger still observed him, with a gently amused expression on his face.
"You have definitely done your research on the train segment of your trip to Finland, obviously," he said. "That is very good!"
He too, enjoyed the produce of the cafe by biting into his cinnamon bun.
The puma gave the tiger a rather shy smile, still obviously feeling rather embarrassed from his excitement earlier "Yeah, I've always planned my trips." He nodded. He felt that he couldn't stop smiling for some reason.
"Since it sounds like you've been everywhere..." chuckled the tiger, "tell me! What is the most exciting place you went to so far on your travels?"
"Oh, uh... that would be Italy I'd say. Historic buildings, ancient temples, and not to mention the mountains." Rod replied. "So many great places to film, and the locals are pretty friendly and helpful too. Venice was particularly an interesting experience" He grinned a she sipped his coffee. "Well, what about you?" He inclined his cup at Gruff, peering at the tiger inquisitively.
"Hhmmmmm..." rumbled the cat, "I have been to a few places myself. Even stayed in the United States for a while. My father lives and works there, and he was keen to accommodate me for a time..."
"Ah, that sounds nice," nodded the white furred feline. "The States have all sorts of interesting places to visit too, being one of the largest countries in the world." He chuckled. "Travelling might be fun, but I like to settle at one place for a time, you know, to rest my tired feet and whatnot." He said, taking a bright orange macaron and ate it all in one bite.
"You live in Finland, I take it then? What's it like there?"
The tiger watched the puma's slightly messy eating for a moment before he answered.
"A charged question..." Gruff stated. "Do you want me to create a preconception of my land and my people in your mind? One you might even splash out into the world on your videos..."
"It's up to you, really." Rod replied, shrugging a little. "I usually state my own thoughts and experiences in my videos to be honest. I merely want to know what to expect, maybe also the do's and don'ts there, that kind of stuff you know."
"Heheh...you make it sound like you're going to North Korea and not Suomi..." the tiger chuckled.
The puma flushed at that. "I... might have made a few faux pas in my earlier travels." He shook his head, biting back a chuckle. "So yeah, not gonna repeat that."
The tiger appeared to like that answer.
"I think this is ship is a pretty good guide to what to do in Finland," Gruff said, "especially if you go and observe in the bar out there, once they break out the karaoke machine at two in the morning..."
Rod couldn't help but snort. "I think I can see it now." He nodded, sipping his coffee once again. "Are you much for singing then?" He smirked playfully, tail looping behind him.
"You can't generally get me drunk enough to do karaoke" the tiger replied.
"Booze and karaoke... I guess I can see now why these cruises also drew a number of Japanese people." The puma joked, jerking a thumb at two particularly drunk looking Akitas who had just walked past them, laughing and joking in their own language. "I've no beef with karaoke obviously, or Japanese people." He laughed afterwards.
The tiger glanced at the said furs in question too and then smirked at his new acquaintance.
"Probably going to see the Moomins," he said. "The Japanese are all over them..."
Rod blinked in surprise, before he let out a soft guffaw. "Moomins? Aren't those kids cartoons?" At the tiger's inquiring look, he added, "My aunt used to travel to all sorts of places, always bringing back children's books and the sorts... and well, since I'm heading to Scandinavia, why not research about their famous native cartoons too?" He chuckled.
"Impressive," the tiger said. "I would not have expected you to know them. Did you know there's a whole theme park about them?"
"Yes, I've read about them. Moomin World and Moomin Museum isn't it?" The white furred feline grinned. "Not surprising since they are practically the Mickey Mouse for you guys."
"Ha," commented the tiger. "We prefer Donald Duck and his Uncle Scrooge to that little rodent..."
The puma smiled brightly at the tiger, raising his espresso cup. "Gotta love the Duck Family." His ears flicked as a particularly raucous singing came from the general area of the night club.
"Tonight is sure quite festive." he remarked.
"Tonight?" the tiger stated. "Onboard a ship it's every night! These ships are meant for partying till you need to be carried out of the boat terminal at the destination..."
A guffaw escaped from the other feline's lips. With a shake of his head, Rod said between chuckles, "Well, I can sort of see that happening to some of the passengers here. I intend to stay sober to enjoy the good company, however." He laid himself on the chair, assuming a more relaxed position.
"That's the reason why I chose the ship as well,"Gruff smiled. "it is a nice change, after all. And I certainly feel quite flattered by your opinion too."
"Well, I should thank you for bumping into me I guess." Rod said with a small grin. "It's not everyday one meets a really decent person on his travels, eh?" He added.
"Hmm..." purred the tiger, "at least not on these booze cruises, now that is for sure. Not that I'm planning to get into a habit of trying out my luck..."
The white furred puma's ears flicked at the gentle purr. "Of course, of course." He grinned, he too purring a little in response.
"...outside this particular cruise, perhaps," the tiger pursed his lips with mirth.
"You're perfectly fine, of course" The puma assured him, his face seem to redden slightly as he realization dawned on him.
"Fine indeed." He couldn't help but add with a nod of his head.
"Oh yes?" the tiger's ears perked in a classical show of feline curiosity.
"Mhmm. Don't take me wrong, but I do enjoy your company," the puma replied. "Sorry. That came out rather lame, right?"
He rubbed the back of his neck, smiling sheepishly.
"Not at all," the tiger said. It seemed more than natural to move his paw across the table and brush his fingers against the puma's, even at the risk of spreading roasted sugar crumble between their digits. He smiled broadly, encouraging, and let his paw touch Rod's.
After staring intently at the Finnish tiger's eyes, the puma returned the gesture, running his paw digits along the back of the other feline's paw with a slight smile. It felt good. He hoped the tiger felt good too.
"Well, I guess we both know what we wanted." he chuckled, leaning forward on his seat a little, thick tail swishing slowly behind him. "So... the question is, would you prefer yours or mine?"
It looked like the tiger needed a moment to process the puma's remark before it registered. He let out a deep chuckle and grinned
"Oh, goodness!" he exclaimed. "I haven't heard that one in such a long time!"
The puma's face reddened once more. "N-not that you have to go along with me, of course. I'm not really good at flirting." He added with a light chuckle. He felt completely busted.
"Oh, no, it's very cute," the tiger assured him, "both the 'yours or mine' bit and...well...you in general..."
"You flatter me." Rod grinned, still flushing from earlier. "Been quite a long time since I've been called "cute" truth to be told." He chuckled with a slight purr.
"Hmm..." the tiger sounded like he had thoughts on the topic, "might have something to do with your sturdy build and confident manner?"
"That might be the case." The puma agreed with a laugh. "I'm not that confident... I think. Bet you didn't lack of any compliments either, with your refined manner and whatnot."
"Flattery, surely..." said the tiger, though he did not sound entirely disagreeable with the puma's assessment.
A tongue poked out playfully.
"You know, you didn't really answer my first question."
"I know," said Gruff. "I have my own question to make, you see."
"Oh?" the puma replied.
"...I think that we should consider the matter of which one of us has a more comfortable quarters onboard this ship," Gruff mused.
"Well, that makes sense." Rod grinned while nodding. "I have the twin bed cabin for myself. Sea view, but nothing fancy... How about you?"
The tiger laughed.
"That's practically a suite!" he stated. "I've got one of the tiny one-person ones with no window...I only wanted to use it for sleeping so it didn't matter to me much where I was staying."
"Aaah it's hardly a suite compared to the more expensive cabins onboard." Rod chuckled. "Well... so I guess that rules out your cabin then!" He said, tongue poking out once more.
"As long as you have any taste, you would think so," Gruff said. "But believe me...it happens."
It took a moment for the vlogger puma to grasp what the tiger meant. "Ah." He said. The corner of his muzzle quirked upwards. "I guess you have a strong sense of smell then?" He asked, tilting his head slightly.
"If I'm really unlucky," he said. "It's mostly the sounds. The way these ships are built...it can all come through from next door, or even further away, along the structures."
"Poor man. I know how that feels." Rod nodded sympathetically. "Had a roommate who reeks practically 24/7 in college. If it wasn't alcohol, it was the other stuff. Wondered if he'd bathed in them... our room smelled like some sort of wild club." He smiled wryly. "If he wasn't a damn charming hunk I'd move out the week after I swear."
The tiger laughed equally cheerfully.
"I suspect that there are many who would enjoy the idea of...swimming in it, as you say," he said, "although the experience might be not quite what they expected."
"Heh, quite true that." The puma nodded. "But a good company is a good company no matter what."
He flashed the tiger a grin.
"In that case, we better finish this extraordinary feast before you will show me the wonders of expensive video-worthy travelling," Gruff said.
Rod chuckled heartily. "Sounds like a plan." He said, before downing the rest of his coffee and stuffed a bright yellow macaron down into his muzzle.
The tiger grabbed his cinnamon bun and took a good bite out of it.
"You'll get seasick if you just chomp it down like that," Gruff observed.
Rod looked somewhat guilty, having been chastised by the tiger. Gruff just smiled.
"I'm sure a big cat like you can handle it just fine," he replied.
"Heh," the puma rumbled.
*
Several decks down, two feline tails swung eagerly while Rod sought out the key card into his cabin.
"Here you go!" he announced once the card was in the lock. "Don't mind the mess...some of my stuff is pretty much spread out... not exactly a very tidy person." He said as he turned the handle and opened the door.
The lights flickered on once the key was in the power slot, illuminating the spacious, long cabin before them. A laptop lay in a haphazard angle on the writing desk, along with several jumbled up cords and several empty snack wraps. The chair was pushed back to one of the unmade beds, while the other bed looked practically untouched. A couple of T-shirts and shorts were hung from the wardrobe handle.
"Sorry, didn't expect to have someone over for the night." Rod said somewhat sheepishly as he gathered the empty wraps and stuffed them to the dustbin.
The tiger followed him with an amiable rumble coming from his chest while he looked about the room with what was surely characteristic curiosity. Perhaps he was sizing up the person he had met, by the appearance of his quarters.
"Good thing you haven't seen my office," Gruff said. "It's more than fine, trust me."
Rod smiled after he was sure he didn't have any underwear lying about in the open. "Well, welcome to my room." He said with a slight flourish. "Make yourself comfortable, if you like."
He flashed the tiger a rather crooked grin. Gruff noticed it easy enough. He stepped over to the puma across the little open space of the cabin floor.
"Just how comfortable exactly, I wonder..." Gruff stated as he put a paw onto the puma's arm.
The feline's pale blue eyes glanced down to the tiger's paw, still grinning crookedly. He moved his own arm over to Gruff's shoulder, giving it a light squeeze. The tiger stroked along the puma's arm.
"Your coloring is quite rare, I presume," he said, "not sure I've ever seen anyone with quite this shade. It is beautiful."
Rod smiled. "Thanks, and yes, it's pretty rare. I've been mistaken as albino a couple of times." He chuckled lightly. "I do love it though."
Gruff worried the puma's fur between his fingertips and smiled.
"Very soft, too, would you believe it?"
The puma purred, tail curling around Gruff's leg. "You groom yourself very well too." He remarked as he brushed his fingertips along the tiger's neck and jawline.
It was encouragement enough for Gruff to place his own fingers behind the puma's neck and to pull him closer. Not quite kissing yet, but their breath was mixing between their lips. Forehead bumped onto forehead. The tiger was definitely smiling.
"You're the kind to take charge, Gruff?" Rod murmured huskily, tilting his head slightly as he gave a light nip to the tiger's lips, wrapping his arm around the feline's waist.
The tiger did initiate a proper kiss now. He pressed their lips together, several times, waiting for the puma to return it.
The other feline reciprocated the gesture with relish, purring as their lips and bodies pushed against each other in a lustful dance. His paws squeezed Gruff's waist as he licked at the tiger's lips, prodding occasionally to see if the tiger was up for something more adventurous.
At one of the pokes he let his lips part. As soon as Rod had his tongue in the tiger's muzzle, Gruff suckled down on it.
"Hrmrrrrr..."
Rod's tail curled around Gruff's own appendage in an almost caressing way. The two continued to relish in each other tongue and lips, before the puma parted, slightly breathless.
"You're one hell of a kisser," said the puma with a grin.
"You taste like coffee," was Gruff's observation. He ran his paws down along the puma's sides and cupped his rear quite boldly. "And yes...I suppose you can say that I like being in charge...do you mind?"
Rod shook his head. "Not at all." He purred, moving his paws back to the tiger's chest, where he began to unbutton the top few buttons on Gruff's shirt. The tiger attacking him with more kisses made it into a somewhat challenging thing to do, not to mention the eager paws that now felt up the puma's rear.
Rod let his newfound friend to take up the lead this time around, purring as he succeeded in loosening several more buttons. His paws snaked into the tiger's shirt, feeling the soft fur and firm muscles underneath as he returned the kiss with much more vigor than before. The tiger was into it just as much as he was, and ground an considerable erection to the puma's belly. He made sure to mirror the puma's gesture from earlier and put his tail around Rod's leg. One of his paws grabbed to the base of his tail and caressed it quite rudely. The movement was as suggestive as it was pleasurable.
"Mmh... quite handsy too." The puma remarked, running his thumb and fore digit over the tiger's erect nipple, giving it a light pinch.
"Can't blame me too much, do you?" Gruff patted the puma's rump.
The gesture seemed to be appreciated.
"I guess so," replied Rod. His paws were now running further down to the tiger's body, resting around his hips.
"How about we get more comfortable, hmm?" He purred.
"I couldn't possibly imagine what you have in mind..." the busy-pawed tiger replied.
Rod raised an amused eyebrow, tugging on the tiger's belt. "Well, we can start from your trousers... and then working through the rest of your clothes..." he trailed off, running a finger through the tiger's deliciously athletic body as he leaned in for a short kiss.
The tiger patted the puma's ass and smiled through the kiss.
"A wonderful idea," he concurred. "Please."
"Only if you return the favor." The white furred feline grinned as he began to unbuckle the tiger's belt slowly, letting it drop to the floor with a fwump.
"Confident...I like that too," Gruff observed on the puma's comment and behavior. He gave Rod's tail an extra tug before he went for the buttons on the front of his pants, on top of his warm bulge.
Rod merely grinned in return as he moved to push the now unbuttoned shirt off Gruff's shoulders, caressing the length of the tiger's arm and fur in the process. He liked what he felt. The tiger liked it too. He grabbed one of the puma's wrists and then brought his paw to his muzzle to nuzzle on it while he rumbled appreciatively.
"Hmmmm..."
It was a curious, sensual feeling the puma liked.
"Well then, won't you do mine?" rumbled the puma through a chuckle, lightly humping his own hard-on into Gruff's erect tool which was pushing through his underwear.
"Straight to business..." the tiger mused. He was all smiles when he fondled the puma's own groin, to start unpacking it for the real fun that they both hoped was to come.
Rod chuckled as he enjoyed the feel of Gruff's paws on his hard bulge. "Mmmrrr... forgive me for being impatient. You're damn sexy..."
"Heheh," the tiger chuckled at the puma's admission. He treated him to another fondle and a nip on one of his ears. "You're not half bad yourself..."
"Thanks... and are you gonna tease me all night or are you going to get me out of these clothes hmm?" The puma was clearly enjoying the light touches from the tiger however, evident by the continuous purr rumbling from his throat.
"Heh."
The tiger tugged on the puma's pants and got them down to the cat´s ankles.
"Raise your arms."
Rod did as much and got his shirt removed and thrown to his bed, exposing his robust, sturdily built physique. He wasn't much of a bodybuilder or a fitness nut, but his firm, well trained muscles bulged nicely against the tiger's touch.
"Hmrrrrrr...." the puma appreciated the paws stroking along his pecs.
"I bet you do a lot of your videos without wearing a shirt..." the tiger commented through his grope.
A lopsided grin stretched on the white furred feline's lips.
"Not that much, but there are some." He replied, cupping Gruff's hard tool and giving it a light squeeze.
"You've got yourself a new subscriber," Gruff grinned. He went for the puma's bulge as well as one of his nipples ,and played with both, in good fun.
A light moan escaped Rod's lips.
"Much appreciated." He breathed, rubbing the tiger's erection for a time, before he snaked his paws to the tiger's hips and slipped into the elastic band of the underwear. "Would you mind?"
He murmured, grinning slightly.
The tiger pushed his hips against the puma´s touch.
"Go for it," he said.
With those words, Rod pushed the remaining piece of garment off the tiger's body, and the erect cock sprang up to its full length, slapping against the tiger's stomach. The puma couldn't help but whistle.
"Pretty impressive, Gruff."
"Never saw a Finnish one before?" the tiger winked. His shaft pulsed and throbbed against his stomach in most inviting manner.
"Can't say I've seen a lot of foreign meat." Rod chuckled lewdly, running his fingers through the throbbing cock, lightly caressing its barbs.
"No?" the tiger grabbed the puma's own bulge at that. "I could've sworn..."
"As much as I'd like to go and have fun with any good looking guys coming my way... that just doesn't happen often in my travels," said the puma with a rumbling moan.
"You're obviously not being...aggressive enough."
The tiger nibbled onto Rod's neck and pushed his underwear down with his nifty paws while the puma was thus sufficiently distracted.
"Mmh... aggressive indeed." He grinned at the tiger as his own shaft was freed from its confines, standing up at attention. A clear bead of pre could be seen leaking from the barbed head.
Gruff noticed as much as rubbed his thumb against the hot slit on the tip of the puma's cock.
"You like it..." he growled close to his neck.
Rod involuntarily shivered, both from the touch and the hot breath on his neck. "Yes... why ever not?" He grinned back, teasing the tiger's sensitive barbs with his own fingers.
"What else do you like?" the tiger spoke suggestively.
"Hrmm... a number of things," replied the puma, tilting his head closer to Gruff. Their breaths mingled. "I confess I do like things to be a little more passionate." He purred.
The tiger let go of Rod's erection, only to grab his balls instead. He pulled on the fuzzy nuts and twisted and tugged on them to give the puma as intense sensation as he possibly could without hurting him. His other paw cupped the puma's rear and squeezed on it with equal joy at getting his paws all over the white-furred cat in front of him.
"Like this?" the tiger teased him. Gruff's tongue poked out between his lips.
"Ungf! Y-yeah... you're getting it alright." Rod gasped. "You know how to lead men around, eh?"
Gruff continued to stroke the puma's ass. He liked the feel of the firm muscles under his pads.
"Didn't you just say that you like someone else in charge?" the cat suggested.
The puma grinned. "I did yeah, so why don't you take charge, tiger?" he purred, tilting his head deeper and licked the other feline's lips.
Gruff put his paw to the puma's neck and pulled him more firmly into the kiss. He let it go on for a moment before letting their lips pop apart.
"Like this?" he proposed.
"Yes..." purred Rod with a breathless, lopsided smile. He licked his own lips as he wrapped his paws around Gruff's strong shoulders. "Just like that..."
Gruff put his paws to the puma's hips before he walked them over to the bed, Rod stepping backwards. The tiger smirked when he pushed the puma down to the bed and followed him soon after to land heavily on top of him.
"Hello there..." the tiger grinned before he kissed the puma again. Their bodies were now in firm contact, rocking together in growing desire and passion.
Rod simply purred, reaching down to grasp Gruff's hot, throbbing cock with his paw, jerking it off slowly. His other paw busied himself to touch every single nook and cranny of the tiger's body above him that he could reach. The tiger humped into the puma's grip. He was obviously enjoying the teasing action on his flesh. He dove down to kiss and nibble on the white cat's neck again. It felt like a good place to start now that things were heating up.
"Mmh..." Rod nuzzled his cheek against the Gruff's face, thoroughly enjoying how the tiger was handling things. He gave a light squeeze to the feline's cock on his paws, adjusting the position of his legs so the tiger could hover over him more comfortably.
The tiger licked on the puma's cheek and his lips and ground firmly to their embrace.
"How far do you want this to go?" he murmured.
"Hmm..." A strong paw caressed the back of Gruff's neck.
"Well, simply put, I want you inside me." He grinned, poking his tongue out. The puma was obviously unabashed in his declaration. "And I don't mind if you went a lil' bit rough, hehe..."
The tiger grinned.
"A bit rough, eh?" he stated. "Really now?"
"I can handle your big boy, don't worry about me." Came a rather lewd grin from the white furred puma below him.
"Heheh," Gruff chuckled. "You really want me to put that to test..."
Rod purred, tugging on the tiger's throbbing cock none too gently. "I can try..."
The tiger grabbed the puma's wrists and pushed his arms over his head. He looked down to him with a confident expression on his muzzle.
"I like the sound of that," he ground himself on the puma's groin.
Said puma's ears flicked, his grin growing wider as he gyrated his hips in tandem with the tiger's movements.
"Mrrrr...."
The tiger continued his teasing for a moment until he grinned down at the cat again.
"How are you with maths, Rod?" he asked.
The other feline blinked blankly at the tiger.
"That was... out of the blue." He stated. "But I'm pretty decent. Why? Gonna make me count your orgasms?" He grinned cheekily.
"That too, maybe," the tiger chuffed. "But I was more thinking of one particular number..."
He licked his lips amusedly.
Rod chuckled, flexing his paws under Gruff's firm grip. "And that would be...?"
Gruff chuckled.
"Seriously now..." he clicked his tongue. "Or is a sixty-nine not rough enough for you?"
The puma snorted.
"Well, this gorgeous athletic tiger has made my mind all fuzzy with his hot kisses." He joked.
"And I haven't even given you my special kisses..." the tiger mused.
"Heh, special kisses? Looking forward to it then..." Rod murmured, holding Gruff's face with both of his paws and locked their lips once again.
"And I'll take up your suggestion of course." The puma said between their kisses Their tongues rolled in between their mouths as their bodies grinded and humped against each other, eager for a more intense physical contact. The tiger delivered by letting his kisses grow more mobile, to go to the puma's neck and then to his collarbone, wet and warm.
"Ooh... that's good..."
The puma rumbled in pleasure as he felt the tiger's warm, sandpapery tongue going further down and circled around his left nipple. He could feel Gruff's hot breath on his chest as the tiger continued to taste every inch of his body. He really knew how to make it sensual, and Rod enjoyed every moment. The mischievous tiger tongue teased him and made him purr and rumble deeply. He moved closer to what Rod suspected was the ultimate tiger target, but the approach was slow and torturous. He was practically squirming by the time Gruff reached his splendidly hard cock. There were more kisses, and a number of licks that tickled on his barbs in a delicious manner.
"Hmrmrm..." tasting good too...American special flavor..." the tiger mused. "Very nice."
"H-heh..." The puma breathed.
"Bet your cock is grade-A meat too." He quipped, rumbling as the tiger continued to tease his throbbing dick with his wet tongue and lips.
Gruff chuckled at the breathy remark.
"Uh huh? Better let you have a taste then, sweetcheeks."
Gruff climbed back into the bed and scooted about so that he was lying on his side, his hips conveniently at the height of Rod's face. He was about to get a mouthful, should he simply tilt his head and go for it. The throbbing, barbed length was only inches away and emanated a deep musk to the puma's nose.
The white furred feline leaned in, purring deeply at the heavenly musk which invaded his sense of smell. It didn't take him much encouragement to drag his tongue over the tiger's barbed shaft and give it a few test licks. Rod couldn't help but purr at the taste. It did not disappoint him the slightest. Salty, fleshy, simply arousing to the greatest degree, a great extension to the sexy scent of the tiger's fur on his intimate places now plastered on his face.
"Hmm...not bad..." he mused.
The tiger chuckled. It became a grunt when Rod grabbed the base of Gruff's shaft, gave it a good squeeze, and then spat on the hard cock. He almost blushed at his own lusty kinkiness for doing it. But he couldn't help it. It had been too long since he had gotten to do something like that. The sight of the now glistening dick made his own cock throb powerfully. The cougar was almost surprised how horny it made him. It was only natural to gobble up the tiger's dick into his maw to see just how much he actually could.
The barbed tip easily slid into his maw, and it continued to ease deeper as Rod pushed his head further upwards. The feline slowly sucked and teased the meaty shaft with his tongue, savoring the salty taste that rolled down his throat.
"Hhmmm...yeah..." the tiger purred softly at the feel of confident lips on him, giving way into the warmth of the puma's muzzle. He let himself enjoy it for a few moments before he returned to teasing the puma's own erection. He was no stranger to slurping on a fleshy stalk such as the one the puma provided He soon had both of them bobbing up and down on dick, long thick tails swishing about on either end of the bed.
A muffled moan came from the white furred cougar once the tiger next to him him went and sucked his dick. Not going to be outwitted by the striped feline, Rod hastened his pace, using his tongue to squeeze and tease Gruff's throbbing shaft inside his maw, while slowly pressing the shaft down deeper into his throat.
It has been a while since he had sucked a guy off, but the level of horniness and the musk that permeated from both of them were really sending his senses and drive up to eleven. He just went at it, wet and hot, wanting more of the salty goodness that ensued. The panting and huffing puma fantasized of the pointy-tipped dick twitching on his tongue before spewing cum down his thirsty throat.
...if only the cock hadn't been eased out of his maw, and he felt the warmth disappearing from his own shaft too, replaced by the blow of a breath that was not the kind of a job he was after. Rod gave off a slight whine as he opened his eyes and tried to look at Gruff, but the positioning really wasn't optimal for that. There were still finger on his shaft, though, holding onto his throbbing tool, and another paw clasped to his butt and gave its round muscled curve a squeeze.
"Hold your horses there, you're skipping the main event if you go on like that..." was what Gruff said, "if that's what you want, of course...or we can go on like we were..."
The tiger chuckled warmly and gave the puma's slick tip a kiss.
"H-heh... shame, I'd like to taste a bit more..." slightly out of breath, Rod went on and said, "well, if you'd want to go to the main event, please do."
He purred, his own tail moving to caress Gruff's cheeks. The tiger chuffed at that and blew sharply at the thick tail making its acquaintance so close to his face.
"Shoo!" he giggled.
The puma laughed too. Gruff used a single paw to push himself up and put the other over Rod's hip. He stroked up and down, enjoying how solid the puma felt under his touch.
"So how do you like it, then...or do you just like it best when someone...decides it for you..." Gruff squeezed down on the puma's rump.
"Oof! Well, if you're so eager, do whatever you like... just don't go too fast." He added with a chuckle, which was tinged with a bit of nervousness. "It's been awhile since I fooled around like this."
The tiger continued to smile, and gave another fond pat on the puma's backside.
"Well, don't worry...I know how to make it last...and if I don't last, I'll just go again...like cats do," he winked. "Do you have lube anywhere?"
He looked about the room, as if expecting the puma to have a bottle of anal lubricant displayed there as prominently as the booze in the tax free store onboard the ship.
"Yeah, it's in my suitcase." The cougar replied. "Hold on."
He didn't want to depart from the tiger's warm presence, but the necessity pushed Rod up from the bed and padded across the room towards the weathered, unassuming suitcase standing in the corner. A moment later, the nude cougar clambered up to the bed and handed Gruff the bottle of lube to Gruff, and also a packet of condoms.
"Thought you'd like to use that as well." he added.
The tiger accepted both items with a smirk.
"Well I did have some of these in my pocket as well..." he indicated the condoms with a wave, "but I do appreciate the concern for our wellbeing. Thank you!"
He dropped both items to the bed and then clapped his paw against Rod's rear.
"Lie on your belly then...let's get you sorted out," he winked.
"Very well then." The white puma chuckled, rolling over the bed so his back was fully presented to the tiger, while his own hard on was squished between his body and the mattress. He propped his head up with his arms and turned to look at Gruff.
"I'm clean down there if you're wondering." He said with a slight grin.
The tiger didn't waste time when he moved to straddle the puma. This put his erection to hover just above where he likely intended to put it, and he was smirking accordingly.
"Oh I'm sure a sexy bottom boy like you always takes care of that..." he put his paws down on Rod's butt and massaged the double buns with obvious delight in the way he touched the shockingly white ass cheeks and how they felt for him, firm and springy.
"Heh..." Rod couldn't help but blush at the comment. He grunted slightly when Gruff gave his butt a rather firm squeeze, tail lightly slapping the side of the tiger's face in slight agitation and nervousness. He could sense the tiger's meaty shaft hovering just inches above his tailhole.
"Well you're not denying it!" Gruff chuckled while continuing his sensual rubbing of the puma's rear.
A low purr came from the puma's throat as he allowed himself to relax. He had to admit, the tiger has some really good fingers.
"That's good enough for me..."
The tiger straddled the puma more properly when he leaned over him and began to kiss Rod's neck. He mouthed on the sensual skin and fur there, and enjoyed the sounds that brought out of the cat under him. His body rolled pleasurably under the tiger, touching him so playfully. He also remembered to grind his hips against the puma's rear, in the hopes of giving even more pleasurable to his partner for the night.
"Mmm... you're one playful tiger aren't you?" The puma under him voiced out, tilting his head slightly to look at Gruff. His face showed that he was thoroughly enjoying the striped feline's touches.
"Why not?" the tiger blew him a kiss. "Besides, you are fun...in all the right ways..."
He let his kisses travel down between the puma's shoulders and then even lower. He added his chin to rub over Rod's back to tease him further.
A shudder went through the white puma's body as he felt Gruff's lips travel move his back, and even further down. The continuous purr that had been reverberating from the back of his throat grew louder. Yet tiger wasn't stopping at that either. His paws cupped Rod's rear as soon as he had moved low enough, and he fondled them while kissing along the curve of Rod's back. Soon he reached the base of the puma's tail and gave it a quick bite.
"Owch...hmmrhh..." Rod clasped on the bedsheets at the sensation that was foremost erotic and not painful at all. The tiger seemed to know just how to do it. It made him wiggle his rump, against Gruff's appreciative paws.
"Ahhmmm...that's nice..." the puma purred.
"Hmm..." the tiger gave him a quick smile while using his thumbs to pull Rod's ass cheeks apart. He blew warm air from his pursed lips to tease at the crevice he discovered between them.
Rod involuntarily twitched as he felt the breath between his ass cheeks. His tail went rigid for a split second before it relaxed. "Mmrhmm..."
The tiger fondled Rod's buns and continued to repeatedly spread them apart. He spied on all he found between them, including his eventual target, receded and very pink, standing out to the white fur.
"And you know, you've got a cute 'un..." the tiger snickered.
"Hmph..." Rod snorted.'
The comment brought another round of heat to the cougar's cheeks. They must've been turning red under his fur.
"What are you waiting for then, big guy?" he added. Rod pushed his ass up a little against the playfully intrusive paws.
"Gotta enjoy good things when you can," was what the tiger said in reply. He leaned down and bit lightly on each rump cheek he held in the cradle of his palms.
The action didn't hurt, but it still was quite unexpected. The feline's body tensed and his tail jumped, almost swatting Gruff's face after the surprise love bite. There came a grumble from the cougar as he turned to pout at the tiger.
"Hmm...it is a delicious booty," the cat replied the look with a toothy grin.
"Shush you!" Rod chuckled, throwing a pillow at the tiger.
Gruff dodged the flying pillow and used the movement to conveniently drop his muzzle down to the puma's bare cleft. He remembered to apply another hot breath before he let his wet tongue join into the mix and ran it smoothly from the puma's balls all the way up to the base of his tail.
"O-oh!" The ends of Rod's furs stood up from the hot, wet sensation coursing at his backside. He shuddered, letting out another round of purr as he sunk into the pillow which he had used to support his head.
"Hrmmmr..." the tiger's purr not only sounded pleasant but now felt incredibly teasing, being transmitted along his tongue directly to Rod's tender flesh. The cougar's buttocks clenched and so did his hole while the tiger continued to sweep his tongue up and down. He didn't forget to give extra attention to the traveler's opening, which came under the attack of several playful twirls all the while Gruff could listen to the puma making quietly muffled noises into the pillow.
Rod pushed his hips higher, as if he wanted the tiger to go deeper into his ass. He panted and moaned through the pillow, truly enjoying Gruff's slick tongue. It had been a while since anyone had been raunchy enough to their their maw at rimming his ass, and the tiger was definitely delivering. It made his cock throb, too, the way that tongue kept poking at his pucker and encouraging it with thoughts about what would happen very soon, Rod suspected. Right now it felt like a wonderful idea.
The tiger slurped on him further, and kept massaging the puma's spread butt cheeks with his paws. He was happy to listen to the dirty little noises both his tongue and the puma himself made under his treatment.
"Mmmmh... yeah... enjoying yourself down there?" The puma murmured, pulling his head up with a slight chuckle. His tailhole clenched around Gruff's tongue, or whatever little was actually trying to poke into his back door.
The tiger replied to this simply be renewing his efforts on tonguing the puma's rear. He even spared a paw to tug and roll on Rod's balls, accessible in this randy position as much as the puma's ass was for his oral attentions. Consequently all the moaning puma saw were the tiger's cheerfully flicking ears.
"Umph..." Rod groaned out as his testicles were tugged. His tail swished around, somewhat in agitation and wholly in excitement of what was to come. "Yeah... that's good..."
The tiger was smiling when he finally pulled his head up. His lips glistened with saliva that he had used copiously during his dirty visit under the puma's tail.
"I did hear you enjoyed it...good...you're pretty sensitive back here then..." the tiger stated. He replaced his tongue with his thumb, running against the now slick muscled pucker while smiling at the puma.
Said puma shuddered under the tiger's touch. "I... well, it has been so long." He chuckled somewhat nervously, turning to look at Gruff with a lopsided grin. "Hope I won't be too tight down there." He added jokingly.
"I know how to ease it in," the tiger suggested with a grin. Rod found it to be as kinky as the rest of the butt related actions so far, but allowed himself to relax into the massage of the tiger's paws and fingers.
Gruff picked up the bottle of lube and squeeze some of its contents onto his palm. He made sure to let it warm up a bit before he placed the new very much slick finger back at Rod's hole and began his caresses again.
"This is damn slippery stuff, too!" he exclaimed. "Good thing."
"Heh, I know how to pick the best stuff for my needs." The puma purred, moaning somewhat as he felt the tiger's fingers rubbing along his pucker, occasionally prodding the entrance, but never really slipping in. How he wished Gruff could slip a few digits in and fuck him raw with his cock... but that'd have to wait. The tiger sure knew how to make every second counts.
"Yeah, that your butt needs," the tiger spoke cheerfully. "I'll be sure to use plenty."
He continued to rub down on the puma's asshole in the hopes of overcoming its defenses and allowing him in there. The desire to do so, properly now, was definitely growing with each moment he spent interacting with the sexy foreign cougar.
As the tiger's tongue action earlier had helped his backside to relax, it did not take much resistance for Gruff's finger to slip through the ring of muscle and into the puma's tailhole proper. The action still elicited a soft gasp from the white furred feline however, which soon turned into soft, pleasurable purrs. The tiger kept his finger in there and let him get used to it for a while before he began to circle the puma's rear from within now, running on the strong muscled rim of his hole.
"Let's get you all ready," the tiger declared while he squirted in some more lube to join the initial amount he had used.
"H-hrmrrr.... yeah... whenever you're ready," said Rod as he buried his head back to the pillow, bracing himself for the penetration. He hoped it wouldn't be as painful as the first time he had taken a cock on his ass, especially a feline one. The barbs could be quite intense, almost painful especially without a rubber... and he knew from first paw experience on either side of the equation.
"When you are ready," Gruff gave the puma's butt a more gentle pat, "still got some work to do here..."
Indeed he was only wriggling one finger inside the puma now, and Rod too had noted, with his lips as well, that the tiger wasn't exactly slim when it came to the length that jutted from his musky groin. The puma was definitely appreciating the care Gruff seemed to take with him, even though his own cock throbbed aimlessly, jammed under his body.
"Mhmm... take your time, big guy." Came Rod's response.
"Hahah."
He did, applying more lube while the puma got more comfortable with the fingers playing with his rear. It was only when Gruff was happy with what he felt down there that he unwrapped the condom and put that on his barbed shaft before getting himself lathered up with the lube.
"Well I don't think you'll get any more ready, so...shall we?" he grinned. He certainly looked ready.
"Hah, I think my ass is prepped up as much as it can be." The puma below him wiggled his hips as if to emphasize his point.
Gruff gave him one more smile before he shifted slightly closer to his target.
"Oh I know...how about you grab your ass cheeks and spread them to make this easy on me?" he said.
The cougar chuckled.
"Sure, sure." He voiced, feeling slightly embarrassed as he puts himself in a slightly more prone position. With his pucker fully presented to the tiger, Rod couldn't help but feel himself turning a shade crimson. No doubt Gruff was enjoying the view that was given to him so boldly.
"That's the way to go..."
Gruff put one paw to the puma's rear and used the other to guide himself to the puma's bare spot. His knees hugged onto Rod's thighs when he settled to the correct position. He began to rub his stiff tip against the puma's hole in the hopes of relaxing him even further to the act.
The puma's pucker unclenched once it felt the tip of the barbed shaft pressing against it. Gulping silently, Rod took a deep breath and allowed his whole body to relax under the tiger's firm grip. His partner was taking it easy enough, though, Rod found out, and was glad for it. He wasn't sure his ass could handle having a thick cock outright shoved into it, no matter how the idea thrilled him.
"Hmmmrr..." Gruff purred."
Lewd vocalizations escaped Rod's lips as he felt the thick tiger shaft slowly sliding into his rear. The barbed tip easily sliding and stretching his hole thanks to the generous amounts of lubricants... and of course the specially made rubber for felines. He gasped slightly as he felt the barbed tip finally popped into his ass. It didn't hurt exactly, but it was intense.
"Ohh..."
"Gmmmr...that's the ticket," was what Gruff said.
Rod would've remarked something on that but the feelings emanating from his rear made him bury his face on the pillow again. He found himself grabbing the edges of the bed.
"Just gonna push sloooolwy..." the tiger said. He was starting to sound breathy.
"Mmmrff..." The cougar's paws clenched the sheets of his bed as another inch slid deeper into his tailhole, stretching it even further. He couldn't help but moan again. "O-oh..."
Now the tiger didn't say anything. He moved his paws higher up on Rod's back and leaned over him so that he could use his own weight to ease his way deeper into the puma's ass. He was very warm and indeed tight, just like Rod had suggested he would be. His purrs were loud.
"Aaaah..."
Rod was openly moaning and panting at this point. His ears flicked at every slight movement Gruff delivered to his ass, as was his tail. His own cock throbbed, leaking beads of pre as his body slowly rocked as the tiger pushed his meaty shaft deeper and deeper still, spearing his asshole in all sorts of good ways.
"F-fuuuuck...."
The tiger let out a satisfied grunt when he felt his pelvis touch the puma's butt cheeks. It'd been a long way to go, but now he had managed to put all of him inside Rod's joyful warmth. It was tight and clenched on him, too, and the sight of the handsome man in obvious pleasure underneath him turned him on as much as the physical sensations involved with claiming Rod's rear.
It prompted him to wrap himself onto him, properly, arms on his sides and going down to kiss at the puma's sweaty ears. Anything to give him a little more pleasure.
"Ooooh..." came the puma's rumbling moan.
The feline was breathing heavily as his ass clenched around the throbbing shaft that was lodged deep in his backside. He had forgotten how full and pleasurable it could make him feel... especially when the cock had prodded against his prostate. Then it had just gone deeper, and once the tiger decided that Rod was ready to take it, he began to rock his hips back and forth, getting into the the rhythm of things.
"Hmmmrrmm..." Gruff purred along the back of Rod's neck. He sounded like he was enjoying this just as much as the puma underneath him.
"Aaahn..."
Puffing heavily from his muzzle, Rod moaned as the tiger began to slowly piston his cock into his ass. His whole body shuddered from the sensations he had been receiving for the past few minutes. The pumping of that thick barbed shaft into him only made it all more intense. The tiger wasn't only doing that, either. He kissed on the puma's neck and pushed a paw under Rod's sweaty chest so that he could start fondling on his brand new friend's nipples and pecs. Rod purred and huffed at the extra pleasures thus provided. He was almost surprised at how giving the tiger was, despite his obvious insistence in humping his rear
"Hmnnnh... ah..." The puma panted. He couldn't help but to rock his hips in tandem with Gruff's movements, moaning lewdly as waves of pleasure coursed through his body. "Oooh..." He moaned as the tiger above him nailed his sweet spot again and again.
Just when he thought it couldn't get naughtier, suddenly the tiger grabbed him by the hips and pulled until they were actually lying on their sides. Gruff was grinning to him when Rod gave him a quick look of surprise at the move. Gruff threw his leg over Rod's and held onto the puma's chest tight. He continued to thrust into him after only a few seconds he needed for their readjustments into the spoons positions.
"Ah... heh..." The white furred feline chuckled, allowing himself to sink into the naughty embrace. It wasn't long before Gruff was nailing into his ass again, eliciting another round of languid moans from the puma.
The tiger kept up a good pace of it, too. His hips rocked quickly against Rod's rump and made the puma's ass cheeks glow, much like his insides squirmed under the sensual proceedings.
"Heh..."
The tiger bit on Rod's neck just when he slipped a couple of fingers over the moaning puma's muzzle and then into his maw. The message was quite clear with what those fingers were trying to tell, poking on Rod's tongue.
Rod suckled on the finger quite readily as he grinded his ass into Gruff's hips, driving the barbed shaft deeper into his rump. The white puma's paws went down to the cock that was now standing free, leaking copious amounts of pre. The feline proceeded to jack himself in rhythm with the tiger hugging behind him, purring rather loudly. Gruff noticed this but certainly did not stop the cat from giving himself some attention. It did free his own second paw to rub the cougar's chest and belly while he pumped himself into that inviting heat.
Groaning, Rod slowed the pace of his paw movements. With the amount of force the tiger was applying to his thrusts, he thought he'd cum sooner or later... which he did not want to do just yet. The feline settled to enjoy the warm touch of Gruff's paws as his buttocks clenched around the tiger's barbed tool. He just couldn't help that either, or the soft moans that came from his maw.
Gruff rocked himself happily into the puma's rear. He was starting to grow sweaty, with their bodies in such intimate contact, sexing up a storm on sea in the confines of the puma's comfortable cabin. He was sure they were making the bedsprings squeak into the next room, if anyone knew what to listen to.
"A-ah!" Rod gasped when Gruff jabbed his prostate with particular force. His gasps turned to moans when the tiger repeatedly nailed that spot in quick succession. The puma managed a chuckle as he turned his head slightly to look at the striped feline behind him.
"I-if you're keeping it at that I'm g-going to cum... anf..."
"That a...problem?" the tiger huffed. He certainly didn't stop fucking the puma to make chitchat.
"U-unf... no, but... can I kiss you?" Rod moaned, leaning his head closer to the tiger.
The tiger gave him a proper smooch before he suddenly did give his hips a pause for the moment.
"Hmm...I know just the ticket..."
Rod gave him a lusty look, tinged with curiosity and a slight confusion. He let out a drawn out sigh when he felt the tiger's cock slip out of his ass, leaving an empty feeling down below that felt rather strange.
"Let's move."
"Uh, okay..." The puma did everything to comply when the tiger helped him to lie his back. He grinned slightly when he got the gist of what the tiger was planning.
"Raise your hips a bit, I'm gonna put that pillow under there," Gruff explained.
"Ah...sure..."
Rod pulled on his knees to lift his butt up, and Gruff picked the pillow so that he could shove it into place under the puma's ass to get him into a proper position. Afterwards he pushed his jutting erection back where it belonged, and leaned over the puma, all smiles now that he claimed him again.
"Ooh..."
"Heeeere we go..."
He kisses the puma and put his paws under Rod's shoulders. He felt the cougar wrap his legs around the tiger's hips when Gruff started to thrust into him again.
"Anf... aaah..." Rod began thrusting his own cock within his paw, more vigorously than before as he wrapped his free arm around Gruff's neck, tongue invading the tiger's maw while said feline's pace began to pick up. The tiger was more than happy to return the kiss with similar fervor, his own tongue brushing on Rod's before he turned it into a bit of a wrestling match between them, inside their maws.
"Mmmph..."
Gruff sensed the puma's passion rising, too. He kept his hips rolling to vary the sensations he was giving to Rod by thrusting deep inside him.
"Ooh... A-ah...! Fu-fuck... mmmgh..."
The white furred cougar was practically pressing and grinding himself against Gruff's sweaty, well toned body, clinging on the tiger's neck as he felt himself coming nearer and nearer to sweet release, moaning and panting openly.
"Hhehe..." the tiger huffed into the kiss that continued despite the puma's increasingly distracted state. His balls began to slap the puma's taint softly, with the increased speed of his thrusts.
Rod could return the chuckle only a second before he was overtaken by waves of pleasure that was rolling off him in huge amounts of force.
"Oh, f-fuck... I'm close...gonna,," He panted in between his moans, dropping all motions except for the paw that was wrapped around his shaft, furiously jacking it along with Gruff's thrusts, letting the tiger to completely dominate him.
"...oh I'm gonna..."
The puma's head jerked back when his entire body arched upwards and exploded with his pleasure along with a loud, lewd yowl. Rod clenched tightly around the cock that was still hilted deep inside his ass, as he gave a rather firm tug of his throbbing cock, which spewed ropes and ropes of cum, splattering across chest, his muzzle, and also the leather covered headboard behind him.
The tiger was all smiles as bearing witness to this, knowing he was behind a lot of it. He even pushed himself up a little so that he could properly admire the sight of the puma's climax. He continued to thrust into Rod's now super tight ass, hoping to bring more pleasure and trigger his own, very soon, he knew. His face became more of a scowl when he did feel it rose.
"Hmmm..." rumbled the tiger, "yeah..."
The heavy thrusts became still when he drove himself once more, and then he just kept himself inside the puma's tight rear, letting the continuous muscular contractions let him too enjoy every moment of his climax when he began to spend himself. Gruff's orgasm was a strong one, easily charged by their prolonged teasing and foreplay that had culminated in this heated tryst.
Rod could feel the tiger dumping his load into him despite feeling spent from a particularly strong orgasm from his part. He could feel the forceful thrusts jabbing into his ass, and the deep growl emanating from Gruff's throat that just sent shivers through his spine.
"Phew...phew..." the tiger panted, too. He sounded easily as affected as the puma underneath him. "Phew...now...that..."
"...was awesome." Rod finished his sentence with a tired, cum splattered grin. "Hah... I feel so spent..."
"Hmmhm...and smell like it too," the tiger grinned, "damn..."
He huffed some more, and adjusted his position.
"I have to pull out," Gruff said, "hold on..."
The puma let out an appropriate snarl when he felt the orgasm-flared barbs rub through his sensitive innards with one final tug.
"Oouhh..." Even with the rubber protecting his tailhole from the barbs, it still stung slightly.
Gruff plopped out of puma's ass with as much reticence as his earlier voice had suggested. The reservoir at the end of his condom was quite flooded.
"Oh my..."
He pulled the condom off himself and let his cock bounce against his belly with an audible slap. He held up the spent condom with its creamy load to show for the puma still panting on the bed, legs spread and with the tiger now sitting between them.
"Wow, that's one hell of a load." Rod chuckled, rubbing his face with his musky paws. His own cock was still dripping semen down to his abs. "Hmm..." In a moment which surprised even himself, the puma scoped the cum that had stained his chest and began to lick them off his paw digits, all the while looking lewdly at the tiger.
Gruff's cock bounced visibly at such a bold act.
"Well, well..."
He tied the condom off and tossed it to the side before he landed on the puma again. He wasn't going to miss out on a chance to kiss him once more, even with such a raunchy taste on his mouth.
"Mmrrrr..." The white puma grinned, licking the bits of white fluids around his lips, chuckling. "Have a taste big tiger."
Their tongues bathed one another for a while before the tiger relaxed into a more mellow nuzzling. It was fun to cuddle the puma after the more heated actions before.
"Hmm...had a good time, Roddy?" the tiger caressed the puma's chest.
"Yeah... I did." The feline purred, rubbing his head against the crook of the tiger's neck. "All thanks to you, sexy..."
"Heh..." the tiger smiled.
They purred and nuzzled for a moment, until Gruff chuckled suddenly. Rod looked at him curiously.
"What?" he batted the tiger with his tail.
"Heheh, just looking at your camera there..." Gruff pointed out the puma's abandoned GoPro, "it almost looks like it was filming us while we were going at it."
Rod stared at the tiger before he burst into guffaws. "Kinky, aren't you? You'd like to be taped then?" He stuck his tongue out slightly.
The tiger elbowed him.
"You're the one with a fancy ass camera," Gruff said. "So...have you?"
"As much as I'd like to say "I did", sadly I didn't." The cougar grinned. "Never pinned you to be the kind to like being taped... If you want, I can arrange that." His chuckles quickly turned into giggling.
"Hmmmrr..." the tiger purred, and licked on the puma's temple. "I don't know if that camera would survive what I have in mind next..."
Rod's ears flicked. "And what do you have in mind, hrmmm?" He prodded a finger to the striped feline's well defined chest. "You'll pay if it did end up not surviving whatever you've planned, tiger."
The cougar's tone was stern, but his face was anything but.
Gruff winked.
"Well, we're both definitely dirty enough now to warrant going into that shower of yours..." he pointed the door to the bathroom with his tail.
"Heh, aren't you full of surprises." Rod shook his head in amusement. He jerked a thumb towards the duffle bag that had been discarded haphazardly on the floor. "If you're sure... I'll grab the waterproof casing then." He grinned widely.
"Hahah..." the tiger exclaimed before stealing another kiss from his cruiser buddy.
The white cougar returned the kiss with relish, wrapping his arms around Gruff's neck and pulling them into a tight embrace.
