Various Roles
#3 of As Did the Ancients
The third installment of "As Did the Ancients," a series about a fox named Thales navigating servitude and sexuality in ancient imperial times.
Chapter 2 filled out some backstory before the boning happened, but this chapter is exclusively two hot canids going at each other. Though last chapter's lust-addled promise does lead to a novel bit of roleplay for our vulpine protagonist and one of those he serves.
Varius was awkward and laconic the next morning as he and Thales got up from their pallet and combed their fur in preparation for the day. Thales worried at first that Varius was upset with him, but whenever he glanced over Varius was looking furtively in his direction, and he decided it was simply that the wolf was shier about sex than he pretended. It helped that the tip of the wolf's cock never quite retracted into its sheath, until the wolf finally donned his tunic and covered it from view. He left unceremoniously, as Thales still combed his fur. The fox was expecting to be in public, after all, when they went to the baths later that day; a cum-encrusted chest wouldn't do.
Thales was still combing out his chest fur when Varius reappeared in the doorway, holding some dried fruit and a hunk of cheese. "Here," he said, holding out a desiccated apple, "I brought you this."
Thales just blinked at him for a moment. "Was it that good?"
Varius finally cracked a smile. "Well, I promised I'd treat you as the master if I came, right?"
Thales laughed, grabbed the food, and bit into it. "I was wondering if you'd remembered that."
"The king of the gods smites those who forget sacred promises," Varius intoned with a smile. "And I'm pretty sure I swore by the rest of them, too, so I'd rather be safe."
Thales swallowed the apple and cheese and replied, "I'll call it even if you help me comb out my fur. I'm supposed to be at the baths today and I doubt Maenus wants me visiting the emperor while covered in cum."
Varius nodded and retrieved a dish of water from the courtyard pool. "Now, lie back, my lord," he said with a grin as he took the comb from Thales.
The feeling of someone else combing him nearly made Thales purr like a Phraesidian. "I will have to remember how seriously you take oaths in the future," he said, closing his eyes as Varius worked the knots from his coat. The water was cold, but Thales kept that to himself.
After a few minutes, Varius sat back on his heels and Thales groaned in annoyance as the petting stopped. "Alright, your chest is all clean," Varius said. "Am I free to go, my lord?"
"Not yet," Thales said, gesturing to his sheath. "I'll be at the baths, right? All of me needs to be clean."
Varius looked skeptical for a moment, but then shrugged and smiled. "Of course, my lord."
The frigid water on his testes made Thales gasp and briefly reconsider, but Varius' paws were already on him, kneading out of the clumps of fur and gently teasing his sheath. Thales felt his cock begin to grow as firm paws massaged his balls. He murmured happily and spread his thighs wider, welcoming the touch. His cock descended fully from its sheath and Varius continued his ministrations.
"Okay," Varius said at last. "If you get any harder we're going to wind up late to report for the morning."
Thales growled playfully. "Should have thought of that before you agreed to serve at my pleasure."
He expected Varius to stop playing along at that; it was impudent at best. Instead, the paws worked their way up the shaft, and Thales arched back in pleasure. "I did promise," Varius said. Thales looked down his muzzle toward him. The wolf had one paw under his own tunic. His voice quavered with uncertainty, but the paws knew their business.
"Yes, you did." Thales let his tongue loll out of his mouth as Varius continued jacking him off. Normally he would be preparing Varius for the day right now. Instead, he was getting pawed off, and the role reversal heightened each sensation to a mad frenzy. He growled low and thrust into the wolf's paw.
"My lord," Varius said, and the fox's heart nearly leapt out of his mouth. He didn't even hear the rest of Varius' sentence; he was too focused on the purring, reverential way Varius had said the phrase. He was enjoying this as much as Thales was.
"What was that, servant?" Thales said, holding eye contact with the sheepish but grinning wolf. He was playing with fire here, Thales knew; Varius could have him whipped within an inch of his life for this. But judging by the pace at which those lupine paws were moving, Thales did not have to worry.
"I said," Varius stammered, swallowing hard and unable to maintain eye contact, "that I wondered if it might please you more to..."
"Yes?" Thales prompted.
"To have another cock against yours, not just a paw." Varius was staring at the wall, and Thales could see redness rising under his cheek fur.
Thales let the silence fill the air as Varius squirmed in place, paws still furiously massaging both members. When it looked like the poor wolf couldn't take any more, Thales relented. "I think it would please me. Do as you suggest, wolf."
"Yes, master!" Varius said with such gusto that Thales almost laughed. The wolf pulled his tunic off and swung his leg over Thales' flank, facing the fox as he wrapped a paw around both manhoods and leaned forward.
The position didn't afford Thales much leverage to thrust into the wolf's paw, but Varius' enthusiasm made up for it. The wolf bucked against the supine fox's cock, pre trickling from his member and dowsing both partners in heat. Thales did his best to keep up as the wolf humped him, reaching down behind the wolf's hand to tease the two rapidly forming knots. Varius put his hand on the pallet by Thales' head, leaning forward to be at a better angle, bringing his panting muzzle within an inch of Thales'.
Thales stared up at the wolf's soft unfocused eyes as they huffed at each other. Their knots were both fully formed, and his vision was starting to swim from the sensation of them rubbing together. He nuzzled the wolf affectionately with his muzzle, and with a sudden burst of passion, the wolf pressed his tongue into the surprised fox's mouth.
They dueled like that for an eternity, tongues and cocks fencing fiercely as the canids shuddered and heaved atop each other. Thales' free hand caressed the wolf's ears and the back of his head, pinning their mouths together as their tongues went spelunking down each others' throats. Thales felt his balls snug up against his body as they prepared to cum, and he moaned into Varius' mouth and redoubled the pace of his thrusts.
Suddenly Varius jerked back, and Thares opened his eyes and stared up at the panting wolf. "You have to go to the baths after this," the wolf gasped at him, not slowing his thrusts at all.
"So?"
Varius looked away. "You should be on top. So we don't have to clean you up all over again."
Thales licked Varius' muzzle. "Smart."
Varius released his death grip on their dicks and rolled onto his back and Thales rose, taking a moment to run his paw along Varius' flank and dig his fingers into the fur at his hip. Varius grabbed him by the shoulder and guided the fox atop him, too eager for release to tolerate languid caresses. Only force would do.
"Hold us together while I thrust," Thales instructed, and Varius obeyed.
"You going to come for me now?" Varius asked, voice low and catching in time to Thales' rut.
"Yeah, I'm close," the fox said, as he felt numb electric pleasure inch up his shaft. "So close."
Varius thrust gently against him. "Cum on me, master," Varius said. Thales looked in his eyes, and realized the wolf wasn't looking away anymore.
"Say that again, and I will," the fox growled, leaning forward.
"I want your cum on my chest, master," Varius said, a plaintive whine bereft of reserve or guile. "I want you to cum."
Thares smiled, then gritted his teeth and thrust three times, hard, as the pleasure of victory and dominion and orgasm coursed down his spine and under his tail and through his nut and then out, gloriously, of his cock, arcing in four graceful spurts onto Varius' stomach, muzzle, chest, and then stomach again. Thales kept rutting through them, growling down at his play servant, grinding his hips as hard as he could, until Varius closed his eyes and held his breath, and Thales felt the cock under him pulse as it unloaded over its owner's stomach. Thares steeled himself through his partner's orgasm, but as soon as the wolf went slack and sighed a long sigh of release, the fox collapsed, pitching to the side so as not to disturb the pools of canid cum painting Varius' front.
They lay there next to each other for a full minute, catching their breath. Then Varius looked over at Thales, and the two smiled at each other.
"Was that enough, master?"
Thales pouted and stretched. "Yeah, I guess that's good enough for now. No washing that off, by the way. Leave it until I tell you otherwise."
"It's on my face!" Varius protested, and Thales laughed.
"Where? I don't see it," Thales said, leaning forward and gently licking the wolf's muzzle clean. His own cum was sweeter than Varius' had been last night.
"Thank you, my lord," Varius said once Thales had completed his task. He stood and stretched as Thales watched, one paw idly playing with the slick seed covering his stomach, working it into the fur. Then, he lunged over and grabbed his tunic, and the moment was over. "Now get dressed and let's get going before someone starts looking for us."
