Chapter 8: Bliss

Fox caressed his wife from behind while they rode Tricky at a leisurely pace through the forests of Sauria on their way to Cape Claw. Krystal laid back against her husband, enjoying the touch of his hands through her belly fur; a sensation that Fox himself was experiencing through their mental bond. Their minds drifted back to the celebration earlier that day in ThornTail Hollow.

*****

They had all gathered about the campsite. A sumptuous banquet filled with succulent meats was spread out for the carnivores among them, and a table filled with exotic fruits, breads, and vegetables was provided for Peppy and Lucy Hare, that was of course also enjoyed by the others as well. Fox had barely been able to even walk straight the first half hour, unable to sort out which view was his and which was Krystal's. Still adjusting to their new bond, he found that he preferred to always be next to his wife, facing the same direction so that their shared viewpoint was similar.

After the initial flurry of well-wishers offering their congratulations, they had sat together to relax and adjust to their bond until the aromas of the feast enticed them to partake in it. The two were sitting together with their tails tightly entwined, mutually enjoying some of the game meat when Falco and Katt sat across from them. "How are you two feeling?" Falco asked.

"We're still getting used to our telepathic bond, but are doing well."

"Eesh. You guys are really weirding me out with the double speak."

Both tod and vixen giggled in unison. "Sorry, we are just thinking alike for everything."

Katt laughed. "Damn. I don't think even identical twins would be this synchronized. Can you two even act independently?"

The bonded couple looked at each other and nodded. Fox then turned to Katt and Falco, paused to concentrate, and then said. "Yeah. I have to consciously do so, but I can still speak as myself only."

Fay and Bill wandered over and joined the conversation. "What is it like for you?" Fay asked in avid curiosity.

Fox paused to think for a moment and then answered. "I feel like I'm literally in two places at once. I'm here inside me, and I'm also inside Krystal, seeing, hearing, feeling, smelling, and MMmm, tasting what she's tasting." His wife at that very moment had bitten into a particularly tasty and tender morsel of cooked meat.

"Damn! You are literally under each other's skin." Falco exclaimed.

Fox laughed. "Yeah, you could say that. It was really intense and overwhelming when Krystal completed our mental bond, but she was right, I'm starting to get used to it now." The vulpine suddenly stretched out his hand to his side to accept a bowl of stew from his wife without even looking. He then dug into the tasty mixture with his fingers and proceeded to enjoy it while Krystal continued their conversation. "That is why I was having Fox practice these telepathic exercises you've seen us do these past two weeks. Since he's not a telepath, I knew the bonding would be even more overwhelming for him than it was for me."

"And you two know what the other is thinking?" Bill asked.

"We know each other's every thought, emotion, and memories at any given moment."

"And there they go again with the double speak." Falco said while rolling his eyes.

Slippy and Amanda now also joined their small group. Amanda then asked. "So if Krystal reads someone's mind, you'd hear those thoughts through her?"

Fox grabbed two large fruit from the nearby table and handed one to his wife, who bit into it while he answered Slippy's fiancée. "Normally, I would, but Krystal has her mental barriers up tightly to give me time to adjust to our bond. She figures I have enough to deal with now with just her five senses coming through our link without dealing with her sixth sense."

Slippy frowned. "Wait. If she has her mental barriers up, can you still read her mind?"

Fox had taken a bite into his fruit. So Krystal answered. "Yes, he can because he's behind my mental barriers." The vixen closed her eyes and sighed happily. "Fox previously told you how he loved feeling me inside his head. With us now permanently bonded, I too am finding that I love feeling him inside my own mind."

Just then, the Lylat system chief justice wandered over with a data pad. "Missus McCloud, forgive the interruption, but I do need to have something clarified for your marriage records." stated Justice Brock.

Krystal felt her heart flutter at being addressed by her husband's clan name for the first time. "Yes, Your Honor?"

"You referred to yourself by a name different than 'Krystal'."

"Yes, my actual name in Cerinian is Kurisutaru. 'Krystal' is just the closest translation into Lylatian that I could come up with. For my vows, I had the impression that to make it official with your laws, it should be my actual name."

"Thank you, Missus McCloud. I'll record these facts for the court records, and again congratulations to both of you." He then put away his data pad and bowed to the couple. "Mister and Missus McCloud, it has been an honor to officiate over your marriage. I now must take my leave of you and return to Corneria."

"Safe travels, Your Honor, and thank you again for coming." They said together, each shaking the badger's hand before he excused himself.

Realizing that General Pepper would be leaving with the chief justice, Fox and Krystal slowly followed the badger to where the aged hound sat, dozing in his hover chair. Fox's heart ached a bit at seeing his other old mentor. George Pepper had never fully recovered from his assimilation by the Aparoids. Having to shoot the general down out of the sky over Corneria City to rescue him had been hard on them both. And even though he was fully free of those crystalline insects with the destruction of the Aparoid queen, their effects on his body had been hard on the hound dog. It had been why the general had retired and nominated Peppy Hare as his successor. "General Pepper?"

With a small snort and a huff that made his jowls quiver, George stirred himself awake and gazed up at the newlywed couple. "Ah yes! Humm. Fox and Krystal McCloud. Congratulations on finally both coming to your senses and marrying each other."

"Thank you. My wife and I are so glad you could make it, General."

"I wouldn't miss it. You've been good to all of Lylat, my boy. It's time life was good to you, to both of you."

"Thank you, General." Krystal replied softly.

In that moment, Fox sensed in his heart that this would be the last time he saw the old general. He had never been one for military protocol, which was why he had turned down a commission from the general years before at the end of the Lylat War. So for the first time ever, Fox McCloud stood straight at attention and gave General Pepper a crisp military salute.

George Pepper's eyes widened, recognizing the honor the retired mercenary was bestowing him. Given his poor health and feeble state, he himself knew in his heart that his time was growing short. He returned the salute with pride and smiled. Nothing more was said, or needed to be said. With a last look at the happy couple, General George Pepper, retired commander of the Cornerian Defense Force turned his hover chair around and followed Chief Justice Melinae Brock back up the stone stairs out of Thorntail Hollow and to their waiting shuttle craft.

Fox and Krystal made their way back to the log they had been sitting on. Neither was sure if their steps were unsteady because they were still getting used to the duality of their bond or because they were deeply moved by the final farewell to the old retired general.

Peppy, who had witnessed the final exchange between Fox and his old friend, sat down next to the tod. "I'm very proud of you, Fox. That was a wonderful gesture you did there."

Fox gazed into the campfire ahead of him, his feelings still mixed. "It seemed like the right thing to do."

Fay, as bubbly as ever, broke the somber mood and hummed to herself, rolling the name on her tongue. "Mmmm. 'Ku-ri-su-ta-ru'....It does sound like a pretty name."

They then to their astonishment heard the Fox speak in what they had to assume was Cerinian. "Kurisutaru, a most beautiful name for the most beautiful vixen in my life."

Krystal blushed at the compliment and felt her heart flutter at hearing her soulmate speak to her in her own native tongue.

Peppy had gotten up and was nearby, filling a bowl with a vegetable stew and grabbed a bread role while listening to their conversation. "When did you ever find the time to learn Cerinian?"

Fox shook his head. "I never did. It just now feels like I've known how to speak, read, and write in Cerinian all my life,"

"Our bond allows us to share knowledge," Krystal said

"skills," Fox added.

"and abilities." Krystal finished.

"Wow!" Slippy exclaimed. "It's as if your brains are now networked together."

Tod and vixen giggled together. "We never had thought of that, but we guess that's a good analogy."

Peppy noticed Tricky walking by. "Say Krystal, don't you also know the Dinosaur Language?"

"Yes, I do..."

Fox glanced at Tricky, who was lumbering by at that moment, and realized he already knew how to speak to his friend. "Hey there, Pal. Thanks again for such a wonderful wedding party."

The EarthWalker king gaped at his friend in astonishment. "Oh wow! You've finally learned our language."

"I sure did, thanks to my mate."

Slippy checked his wrist communicator. "Well, at least we can understand what they are saying here, since Saurian is already programmed in our universal translators."

"How about when we speak Cerinian?" Fox asked.

"That's Cerinian?"

Both foxes nodded.

"Yeah. That would explain why it's not coming through. We know so little of your people's language, Krystal. Sorry."

"We'll work on adding it to the universal translator when we get back from our honeymoon." As one, Fox and his wife turned to look at Bill. "It will be helpful for when you encounter the other survivors."

"Uh...yeah....Damn, I have to agree with Falco here, that's really weird, the way you two are looking at me at the same time and speaking together."

Both tod and vixen gave the bulldog disturbingly identical grins and said together, "Better get used to it Pal, this is the new 'us' from now on."

Bill face-palmed himself and Falco groaned while the others laughed.

It had been a memorable celebration. Fay Spaniel and Bill Grey were often sitting together. The two made plans to stay in touch, even while she joined the Star Falco team and he would serve on the exploration missions, leading Bulldog Squadron. It had been determined that that mission would happen only after they had been trained on the CDF Arwings, which would only happen when Fox was back from his honeymoon in a month's time.

The most pleasant surprise was the blossoming relationship between Panther Caruso and Miyu Lynx. The two cats had spent the entire afternoon sitting together, talking and holding hands, and to everyone's delight, they had been seen kissing. The two felines wandered over to the newlywed couple to thank them for bringing them together. Panther was particularly grateful to the couple, shaking Fox's hand and then giving Krystal a chaste kiss on her cheek, much to both Fox and Panther's embarrassment because Fox had felt that kiss on his cheek through his bond with his wife.

By late afternoon, Fox found that he had for the most part adjusted to the duality of his telepathic bond with his wife. He could even, to some extent, wander away from her and sort out the completely separate points of view between himself and his vixen without too much disorientation, though he still preferred to be in close physical contact with her. Krystal herself, being an already mentally disciplined telepath, had fully adjusted to the bond, but she herself also preferred being next to her husband.

Leaning against her, Fox started to nuzzle Krystal. The vixen murred at her mate's display of affection, but wanting more, she parted her lips and initiated a kiss which her tod returned. Fox closed his eyes and willingly let himself be lost in the sensual kiss, deepening it. He loved feeling her lips and tongue against his, and discovered the pleasure of feeling his wife's enjoyment at tasting his own muzzle. Their hands had worked around each other when Falco interrupted their romantic moment.

"Alright. That's enough you two!"

The two foxes broke their kiss and gave their avian friend matching glares, which Falco ignored. The bird turned to address all their friends who were gathered about. "Everyone, may I have your attention?"

He paused until all were focused on him. "It is now looking like the newlyweds can't keep their hands off each other any further. So how about we send them off on their honeymoon where they can get all sappy without us having to watch?"

The newly married couple in question could only blush in response to the cheers all around.

Tricky made his way through to stand next to the tod and vixen. "Hop on. I'll take ya to Cape Claw."

"Tricky, you don't have..."

The EarthWalker monarch grinned. "Just get on my back. I want to take you there."

Grabbing their rucksacks, Fox climbed up onto the back of his saurian friend and giving his wife a hand, pulled her up to sit in front of him. With tails wagging, Fay and Bill quickly began draping flowers around Tricky's back, much to the dinosaur's amusement, and with no further fanfare, they were sent off on their way to the cheers of their friends.

*****

They now quietly made their way through the forest paths. Sometime after they had left, they heard the roar of Wolfens flying off, followed by the deeper rumble of the Great Falcon lifting off into the sky. For the first half of their journey, the LittleFoot contingency had marched with them until they had passed their village. Now, only their chief still accompanied them.

Fox and Krystal felt such perfect happiness just being together, heart, mind, and soul. Fox had also just now realized that he had fully adjusted to their shared bond. "You were right. Our bond feels so natural now. I can't even imagine life without us inside each other's heads."

"I just feel so happy that I was able to even form this bond with you." Krystal thought back. She snuggled deeper into her husband's arms, closed her eyes, and took a deep, relaxing breath.

It came on so gradually that Fox had not initially been aware of the changes in his perception of their surroundings until a flock of birds took off from a nearby tree in a flurry. The vulpine looked about wide-eyed at his surroundings. Inexplicably, he was hit with a heightened awareness of all living things in the surrounding woods.

"Relax, Fox. Just take it all in."

With dawning realization, Fox focused his thoughts on his wife. "You dropped your mental barriers, didn't you?"

"Yes. Because of our mental bond, you are now experiencing what it is like for me as a telepath. This is what I feel when I open my sixth sense to perceive all living things around me." Krystal then looked down at Tricky, upon whom they were riding, and lightly probed his surface thoughts.

"It looks like we're almost there. Hope they like the larger house Chief LittleFoot had built for them," they heard their friend think.

Fox gasped and thought to his wife, "Does Tricky know you've been reading his mind?"

"He knows that I can, and has expressed to me that he is unconcerned. For some reason though, he can't seem to hear me thinking to him."

Tricky, having head his friend gasp, chose that moment to speak up. "Are you okay, Fox?"

Realizing that he now knew the dinosaur language, Fox had some time ago turned off his universal translator. "Yeah, I'm fine, Pal. Just experiencing the world through my mate's sixth sense for the first time."

"Oooh neat. Does that mean you can hear me think when she reads my mind?"

"Yeah, and I'm certain we'll like the new home Chief LittleFoot built for us."

"We make hut nice and big for Honorary LittleFoot and his mate. Have lots of room for hatchlings too," the LittleFoot chieftain affirmed.

For the rest of their journey, Fox took in his wife's telepathic impressions of the woods, glades, ponds, and streams and all living things around them. Before long, it too began to feel natural to him. Gradually, they began to hear the quiet roar of ocean waves washing upon the shore that signaled they were getting near to their destination.

Coming around a bend, they found themselves gazing down a long straight trail covered by a canopy of tree branches. In the distance, the trail opened up to what appeared to be an overlook into Cape Claw. "Huh. I didn't know we could get to Cape Claw this way," Fox said.

Tricky and Chief LittleFoot came to a stop and Tricky looked back over his shoulder at his two vulpine riders. "Well, this is where you two get off."

Krystal nodded to their saurian friend and slid off his side to land on her feet next to the EarthWalker king, quickly followed by Fox. It was then that the couple noticed that the air directly in front of Tricky was shimmering. In the next instant, the ghostly outline of a Krazoa spirit appeared and spoke in an ephemeral voice. "I am the Krazoa of the Ocean Temple. Through your selfless acts, you have freed us from the evil that would have destroyed this world and restored us to our shrines. For this reason and for again liberating this world from those who would harm it, we have agreed to grant the EarthWalker king's plea on your behalf, finding you worthy of our blessing, Fox McCloud and Kurisutaru." The Krazoa spirit drifted to where the air was shimmering. "The Ocean Temple and all surrounding lands will from this day forward be a refuge for the both of you. Beyond this barrier, none may enter but you, and others may only cross or see into your sanctuary by your wish."

With those words, the Krazoa spirit vanished. Fox and his wife cautiously approached the shimmering barrier. Gazing to each side, they could see that it extended out of sight into the surrounding forest. The newlywed couple looked back to their saurian friend who smiled to them and nodded towards the barrier.

"Go on, you two. This is your special day. Have fun."

Smiling back to their friend Tricky, and to Chief LittleFoot, Fox and his wife turned and walked through the barrier, feeling their fur briefly stand on end while they passed through the shimmering air. Glancing back one last time, they saw that the two saurian were gazing towards their direction without focusing on them.

"Well, they're gone," the EarthWalker king said. He looked to his diminutive companion. "Thanks for all the help, my friend." With those words, the two dinosaurs turned around and trotted away, disappearing around the bend.

Just then, Fox's communicator chirped. The tod dug it out of his rucksack and took the incoming call, seeing who it was. They heard Falco's anxious voice come through. "Fox, are you and Krystal okay? ROB just informed me you two disappeared off our sensors."

"Yeah. We're fine. It seems to be the Krazoa spirits' doing. There's this barrier all around Cape Claw that apparently allows only Krystal and me through. It must also be blocking all sensors and visuals."

"Glad to hear you two are okay." Falco grinned from his command chair on the Great Falcon. "Looks like you guys will have all the privacy you want."

"How are things up there?"

"We're getting ready to break out of orbit. Fay is settling in well as the ship's engineer. Everyone else is doing fine and settling in for the return trip to Corneria. Chief Justice Brock and General Pepper are aboard the CDF Guardian, which is also getting ready to break orbit to return to Corneria. I also heard from Wolf O'Donnell that Panther has invited Miyu to join Star Wolf."

Krystal cooed in delight and spoke into Fox's communicator. "Looks like those two are really hitting it off."

"Seems that way," Falco replied. "Anyway, we need to get going. See you guys in a month."

"See you then. Fox McCloud out." With those words, he closed his communicator and slipped it back into his rucksack.

With that done, the couple turned and continued walking down the path towards Cape Claw, holding hands. Approaching the end of the trail, they could smell the salt air and hear the ocean waves more distinctly. The forest around them was gradually getting thinner until they found themselves standing atop the cliff overlooking Cape Claw. To their right in the distance was their cottage near the shores of the cape where it met the inlet. Below them and slightly to their left was the outer Ocean Temple, with its carving of a Krazoa face making up the temple's façade. Adjacent to the temple was the waterfall that was the source of the inlet. To their immediate right, the path they were on led to a wide stairway built into the cliff side. They descended this stairway, making their way through thick foliage near the bottom, until they found themselves near the main path leading down into Cape Claw.

Fox and Krystal stood at the main entrance to Cape Claw that was cut into the rocky wall like a cave. This had been the way into this tropical location that had been familiar to the both of them. They gazed back the way they had come and couldn't see through the thick foliage to the stairway that led up the cliff side. Fox thought, "No wonder I never knew of that other path. We can't even see it from here." _ Looking down the cave-like entrance, Fox grunted to himself. _"It's definitely easier than coming through there and having to go down and up that deep well to get here."

A quick reconnoiter through to the other end of the path within the cliff wall confirmed that the same shimmering barrier was also there, right where it opened into the grotto where the well was located, blocking out all outsiders. With their privacy assured, they turned around and returned the way they came and walked on down the main path into Cape Claw itself.

With their feet sinking into the silky sands, the newlywed couple gazed at each other with joy in their hearts. They were finally on their honeymoon. Fox's eyes then caught sight of the Ocean Temple behind his wife in the distance. Seeing through their bond what her husband was seeing, Krystal turned around and gazed back to the temple as well. A glow could be seen coming from the Ocean Temple entrance.

Their curiosity piqued, they made their way towards the temple. Upon entering through the mouth-like opening in the carved Krazoa façade, they could see the glow coming from the entrance to the inner corridor leading deeper into the outer temple. Wanting to know what the source of this light was, the two foxes went down the winding corridor, through the inner chamber, and on through to the end where it opened into the secluded alcove between the outer Ocean Temple and the inner Ocean Force Point Temple.

With the sun getting lower over the ocean outside, Fox and his wife stood in the shade of the outer temple and beheld a truly magical sight. The entire alcove was draped in twilight and filled with fireflies. It was as if the stars had come down to float among the tall grasses, flowers, and bushes in this secluded place. Gazing across the alcove, they could see that only the upper levels of the inner temple was still in the sunlight.

They slowly made their way down the steps into the alcove and walked among the fireflies, which parted ahead of them. Near the center was a patch of bare sand adjacent to a pool under a waterfall. The two foxes stood there, their eyes taking in the wondrous sights around them until they came to rest upon each other.

Fox's breath caught in his throat upon seeing her under twilight, in the glow of the fireflies. Never before had the love of his life looked so beautiful. Her blue fur seemed to shine in the soft light surrounding them and he found himself lost in her azure eyes. Krystal herself was deeply moved from feeling her husband's emotions and seeing herself through his eyes. The fox she loved with all her heart, to whom she had bound her soul, looked adorable like never before. His orange-brown fur glowed in the golden light of the fireflies, and his deep green eyes were framed in a soft expression full of desire.

The tod closed the distance between himself and his wife and cupped her cheek. He gently stroked the fur along the side of her face, his heart filled with such complete love for his vixen. Krystal could feel her husband's desire and love for her through their bond and ached to give herself to him. She grabbed his head and pulled him into a deep kiss, which Fox returned with equal fervor.

Their arms wrapped about each other as they deepened their kiss, their muzzles melding together while they explored each other's mouths with their tongues. Fox's hands traveled down her back and reached her loincloth over her shapely rump while at the same time feeling her hands go down his back to his own rear. With his crotch pressed against hers, both could feel his arousal begin to grow.

For so long, they had suppressed their desires for each other, but no more. They broke the kiss and looked around, realizing that there could be no place more idyllic for them this night. Krystal removed their large blanket from her rucksack, and with her tod's help, spread it out on the soft sand where they stood.

Brushing the sand off their feet, the two foxes knelt in front of each other on the blanket where they resumed kissing, their hands running down each other's backs. Their hearts raced as each felt the other's hands on their rears sliding their loincloths down. They shifted on their knees to slide their loincloths down their legs to be flicked free with a kick of their feet. Fox's hands then moved up to his wife's back where he briefly fiddled with the clasp in her bra, releasing the straps. When they pulled back, her bra slid off her chest.

Fox now saw his heart's desire naked for the first time. Deeply moved by her pure beauty, he let his eyes travel over her shapely breasts, down her front to her nether region. Seeing his gaze drift down, Krystal deliberately spread apart her legs for him to see her slit. She felt herself getting wet upon also seeing her love naked for the first time, her eyes drawn down to his glistening, bright red arousal, which had fully extended out of its sheath.

Completely surrendering to their desire for each other, they came together again in a passionate, muzzle-locking kiss. With their arms about each other, Krystal slowly leaned back, drawing her husband with her while they continued exploring each other's mouths. With his arms wrapped around his wife to support her back, Fox gently lowered her onto the blanket before laying his weight on top of her the way he knew she wanted.

They broke their kiss, each drawing a shaky breath and Fox then kissed his vixen under her neck, then her shoulder, working his way lower until he reached her cleavage. He took a deep breath, inhaling her alluring scent. He then gave her left nipple an experimental lick while gently groping her right breast, eliciting a gasp from both of them, from Krystal at the erotic sensations and from Fox who was experiencing those same sensations through their mental bond.

Fox paused for a moment, realizing that while he was no virgin, it still had been years since he had been intimate with his last lover, Fara. He looked up, making eye contact with his vixen with a dawning realization that he was about to experience a whole new level of intimacy beyond anything he ever had experienced in his life.

Krystal smiled and stroked the side of her tod's face, sending her love through their bond to encourage him to go on. She murred and rested her head back when he resumed licking and nibbling each of her breasts. Her heart beat against her chest with growing excitement when she felt him nuzzle, lick, and kiss his way further down her front.

Fox continued working his way lower, sliding back off his wife to lie between her legs, which on their accord had spread apart to give him access to her treasure. He now gazed down at her slit, his nose barely touching it, and inhaled deeply her musky scent. Closing his eyes, he slowly started to drag his tongue over her opening, whimpering with her at the incredible pleasure he was experiencing through their telepathic bond. He continued licking around her slit, building up her anticipation to the point that she was squirming and panting in desperate need. Knowing that she was primed and close to her peak, he pressed his tongue firmly into her slit and slowly drew it up against the nub just inside her folds. At once, he felt an explosion of erotic pleasure bloom through his body below the waist. Her whole body heaved up while she moaned loudly, his own cry of ecstasy matching his vixen's.

He then collapsed between her legs while she twitched, both coming down from a euphoric peak that left them panting. "Oh Spirits! This is unreal! I never thought I'd experience a vixen's pleasure....It feels like some forbidden knowledge."

Krystal reached down and caressed her mate's head while murring happily in what she knew would be the first of many afterglow. "There's nothing forbidden about any of this. All married couples on Cerinia learned what it felt like for their bondmate."

Fox needed no further urging. He immediately dove back into her nether regions, probing her slit again with his tongue. The tod explored different ways of heightening his wife's pleasure while savoring her nectar. Experiencing her sensations of being licked, he quickly discovered sweet spots that made her cry out in joy, quickly building her up to another peak. Knowing what was coming, he wrapped his arms under her thighs and held on before again dragging his tongue through her slit.

Krystal arched her back and cried out, feeling another explosion of pleasure radiating out below her waist down to her toes. She whimpered and hummed in ecstasy while riding through an even stronger climax that felt even more drawn out. Her husband matched her whimpers, experiencing again a vixen's orgasm, but kept on lapping his tongue through her, drinking in her juices while holding on tightly to her legs. He continued pleasuring her a while longer, making her twitch in aftershocks, and then drew back onto his knees go gaze down at his beautiful, naked wife sprawled in front of him on her back.

Fox's heart ached with adoration at seeing his vixen lay there. Her eyes then met his, mirroring the same deep desire that framed his own. She then closed her eyes and with a heart-felt sigh said the three words he had so long dreamed of hearing her say. "Take me, Fox."

He crawled forward on top his soulmate, kissing and licking her up along her chest, nibbling her breasts and nuzzling her neck until he was once again laying his weight on her and melding his muzzle to hers in a kiss full of mutual hunger. Shifting his hips slightly, he lined himself up with her opening and slowly slid the tip of his length into her. Both whimpered at the slight discomfort the vixen felt at her virgin entrance being stretched open. Fox took his time letting her accommodate his girth until he felt her ache go away. He then slowly began to thrust the tip of his length in and out of his vixen, gasping in wonder at experiencing her sensation of being penetrated.

Krystal herself for the first time in her life now experienced a tod's pleasure through their bond even as he pleasured her. Fox took his time, gradually lengthening his thrusts while he continued to hungrily kiss his vixen until he felt his tip press against her maidenhead. Both winced at the slight pain but Krystal would not be dissuaded. "Do it, Fox."

"Not yet....I want to make this as special as possible..." He then shifted, changing the angle of his trusts so that he was rubbing against her most erotic areas inside her. She immediately started to moan and whimper into their kiss. Both began to breathe raggedly at her growing pleasure while Fox continued to slowly piston half his length in and out of his vixen, building her up to another peak.

Growing delirious with need, Krystal had become so consumed with her desire to be fully taken that she was not paying attention to his thoughts. But feeling his love for her coupled with the wonderful pleasures she was feeling, along with what she was experiencing from him through their mental bond, was more than enough to quickly bring her to the brink of another mind-blowing climax.

Fox immediately shifted his angle again and with the next thrust was grinding his length against her sweet spot, sending her over the edge. Feeling her orgasm, he gave her two additional quick, short thrusts and on the third rammed his entire length into her, tearing through her barrier and deflowering his wife.

Caught by surprise, Krystal cried out in a mixture of pleasure and pain, and wrapped her legs around her husband to keep him buried deep inside her. They broke their kiss and both became still and held on to each other while they rode out her orgasm and whimpered from the dull pain aching through her sex. Fox waited until he could feel her pain begin to fade and then carefully began to pull out and sink himself slowly back into her. What residual aches remained were soon drowned out by the mounting pleasure and with a mutual joy, the couple began to truly make love to each other.

"Oh yes! I've dreamed of this day for such a long time. Please don't stop." Krystal mentally shouted to her love. She tightened her grip on her husband and urged him on. Fox happily complied, his hips undulating back and forth in long, deep strokes into his wife, basking in her pleasure while repeatedly sinking into her wonderful warmth. The vixen herself was now slipping into delirious ecstasy, experiencing her tod's male pleasure while she felt herself being wonderfully filled again and again with each stroke. A telepathic feedback loop of pleasure quickly built up between the couple as they each experienced their partner's pleasure at experiencing each other's pleasure.

Despite her urging, Fox would not speed up the pace, preferring to continue to languidly make love to his wife. He wanted their first time to be as special as possible. Krystal relented upon reading her husband's desire to draw this moment out. They continued, carried on by their passion and love for each other until after some time, Fox felt his knot finally begin to swell. With a few more strokes, he ground himself against her opening and sank fully into his mate. The tod groaned at the blissful feeling of being fully sheathed inside of his vixen, causing him to swell fully. The couple gripped each other tightly while he continued thrusting into her in short, quickening strokes.

His knot now fully engorged, Fox could feel the delicious tightening in his loins growing, signaling his impending orgasm. He slowed his thrusts to a crawl, drawing out that tightness. He could also feel that his wife was also on the brink of another climax. They locked their muzzles together in a deep kiss in an expression of their total love for each other and with a final slow thrust, Krystal slipped over the edge, crying out in joy into their kiss. When Fox felt her clamp down hard on his maleness and knot, that same concentrated, exquisite tightness expanded through his loins, to release into a strong, drawn-out throb, followed by several successive spasms.

The couple became overwhelmed, their bodies going rigid as each of them climaxed while at the same time experiencing their partner's orgasm in that feedback loop that only intensified and kept them at their peak. In the throes of the deepest, most intense pleasure she had ever experienced in her life, Krystal focused her full telepathic powers on her lover to send all her love surging into his mind as strongly as she could. Fox whined at the overwhelming emotions and sensations filling his very being, feeling her love filling him even as he continued to fill her with each throb while at the same time experiencing her own intense pleasure.

The two remained paralyzed in the grips of their shared bliss, barely able to even breathe. For a long minute that felt like an eternity, they rode out the climactic moment of their union until they were left drained and both went limp. For several minutes, Fox and Krystal lay together, completely exhausted and unable to move. Both basked in such a profound, wonderful afterglow that they dozed off into a semi-awake stupor of fulfilled contentment.

After a short time, they drifted back to full consciousness and Fox shifted against his vixen and realized his knot had not yet shrunken. Krystal nuzzled him happily, filled with a wonderful sense of fulfillment and delighted to feel her husband still inside her. Tightening her inner muscles, she gave her soulmate's knot a brief squeeze, eliciting a happy murr from the vulpine. Fox returned his wife's affection, nuzzling her back and spread his weight atop his vixen while waiting for his knot to soften.

"I love you, Krystal. I love you with all my heart and soul,"_thought Fox. _"It's just like you promised. You've made me the happiest tod in all of Lylat."

"I love you too, Fox. I will cherish this moment all my life," Krystal thought back._ "You've brought me such happiness that I thought I'd never feel again since losing my family and everyone else on Cerinia."_

The two lay there, kissing and licking each other tenderly until they felt Fox's knot begin to soften. The tod looked down between them to where they were joined. "I...find myself not wanting to pull out."

Krystal smiled up at her lover. _ "Then stay."_ She wrapped her legs around her fox and pulled him tightly against her._ "I love feeling you inside me, especially your knot."_

Fox reached for the edge of the blanket they were lying on and pulled it over them. Keeping himself fully buried inside his loving vixen, he rolled with her until he was on his back with her laying on top of him. Together, they slowly drifted off to sleep in blissful exhaustion, with their arms, legs, and tails tightly wound about each other.

Their slumber was filled with a succession of one shared erotic dream after another. In his sleep, Fox's knot swelled with each wet dream and he would throb his pleasure into his vixen while he slept and dreamed of making love to her.

*****

The next morning, Fox slowly drifted awake from a pleasant, wet dream to the surrounding warmth of their blanket draped over the two of them and of his wife still laying on top of him. He breathed in the heady scent of their nocturnal matings and discovered to his delight that they were still tied, his knot firmly lodged inside his vixen. It then all came back to him. He could clearly remember all the erotic dreams they had shared, which had kept them aroused while they slept. He tenderly stroked his hand through her hair. She was still asleep, sighing happily from the multiple climaxes that rocked her body through the night. Fox knew he came several times while asleep as well, and with his knot fully engorged, felt like he could one more time.

Reaching down to caress her shapely rump, he began to thrust upwards into his vixen. He focused on her sleeping mind, and could see she was having another wet dream. The tod kept driving himself repeatedly into his wife until with a loud moan, she awoke in the midst of an orgasm. Before she could even recover, Fox hugged his vixen tightly to him and rolled her onto her back. Without missing a beat, he drove himself into her in strong, short strokes. Each time he pulled back, the base of his knot would tug at her opening, eliciting gasps from her.

Fox wrapped his arms under Krystal's shoulders and rested his chin against her neck while he drove himself repeatedly into his wife. His breathing became labored as he continued thrusting in and out of his vixen. Already, he could feel the mounting tightness in his loins and heard his soulmate's joyful telepathic cries. "Yes! Yes, oh yes! So good! Oh Spirits!"

"I'm almost there. Oh Krystal, I want to wake you up like this every day! I...." Further thoughts were derailed from Fox's mind. With a long, drawn-out grunt, he jetted his pleasure into his lover and soulmate. Krystal again experienced her tod's climax through their bond, feeling the amazing sensation of intense pleasure tightly concentrated in his maleness. An instant later, she reached her own peak and uttered a strangled cry. Both foxes went rigid, paralyzed from their senses being overloaded by their shared, dual orgasms.

Afterwards, they lay there basking in their afterglow. Krystal gave a happy sigh of contentment, enjoying the comforting weight of her husband on her. "That was a really wonderful way to start the day. I was having this really erotic dream involving you pleasuring me, and woke up to an orgasm with you inside me."

"I never had so many wet dreams in a row like that, all through the night."

"They were really wonderful too. I was not even dreaming lucidly, since I didn't meditate before we went to sleep...but I guess with us falling asleep like we did, we shouldn't be surprised that our dreams would be so wonderfully erotic."

Fox felt pleasantly drained. Already, he could feel his knot shrinking. The two vulpine nuzzled each other affectionately for a while longer until the tod felt himself slip out of his vixen and fully retreat back into his sheath. He then got up, pulling away from his wife. The two winced at feeling some of their crotch fur pull against each other. They looked down at themselves. "We're a sticky mess." With a glance to the nearby waterfall, Fox thought further. "That's a perfect spot to wash up."

"I couldn't agree more," Krystal thought back with a giggle.

Both reached for their rucksacks and grabbed some soap from their toiletries within. They then walked together into the shallow pool and under the cool water of the cascading fall, letting their fur get fully wet.

Fox then set about washing his vixen's back, working from her head, down her back. He lathered and washed her beautiful tail and paid particular attention to her shapely rump. Krystal sighed happily and lifted her rear and tail, enjoying the feel of her husband's hands. When Fox was done with her back, she turned around to let him start washing her front while she started lathering the fur over his muscular chest.

Fox could recall when there was a time he'd be bashful at seeing his vixen naked. The idea of even fondling her breasts would have left him stuttering incoherently. Such reserve and modesty seemed silly now. She was his wife, and he could sense through their bond that she wanted to be fondled and groped. So he gave loving attention to each of his vixen's breasts, cupping them while washing the fur over and under them, paying particular attention to her cleavage.

"That's right, Foxy. My breasts are yours to play with. Never ask permission to touch me." _ She worked her way down his front until she reached his crotch and gave it all her own loving attention, caressing his package and lovingly washing his sheath. _"I know I'm never going to ask permission to play with this."

Fox murred at feeling her gently fondle him though he wasn't feeling much arousal. He could sense her slight disappointment that he didn't come out of his sheath._ "Sorry, my love, but I'm completely out of fuel. Give me a few hours to recharge and I'll be ready to go again."_

Krystal giggled while she finished off working the soap through the sticky residue in her husband's crotch fur._ "It's alright. I could use a short break too. I'm a bit sore down there now."_

Her husband continued working down her front. "Yeah. I could feel it." He reached his wife's mound and gave it all his loving, tender attention. He carefully worked the soap through the crusty residue of their night's love-making. He could feel her growing arousal at his fondling, but stopped once he finished washing her.

"Aww. Why'd you stop?"

"I'll continue once I'm recovered and ready to satisfy you, my insatiable vixen."

Krystal giggled at her husband's mental reply. They continued washing each other until they were clean and refreshed. With the last of the suds rinsed out of their pelts, they walked out of the pool and shook themselves, sending water spraying in all directions. They then sat down on their blanket and spent some time brushing each other's tails and fur until they were dried.

They then packed away their toiletries and the blanket. Krystal also put her wedding loincloth and bra away, choosing to remain naked as she had promised her husband. She eyed her husband as he held his own wedding loincloth. Fox knew she wanted him to not wear anything either. He gave his wife a smirk and put the garment in his own rucksack.

Together, they made their way through to the outer Ocean Temple and out the front entrance. They waded across the shallow waters to the sandy beach along the river, past the pathway out of Cape Claw and on towards the sea shore where their honeymoon cottage awaited them. It was indeed larger than the original cottage Krystal had stayed in when Fox had first found her. That had been a month ago, but it now seemed like a lifetime since that day when he had bared his mind and soul to her. Once inside, they unpacked their rucksacks. Fox put his communicator and loincloth in one drawer and his toiletries in the bathroom. Krystal did the same and also hung her collapsed staff on a peg on the wall. She stored her jewelry in the nightstand drawer, except for her headband with its focusing gem. She gazed at the deep red jewel sitting in her hand.

"Are you going to wear that?"

"I don't see why I'd need to. Our telepathic bond is so complete that we wouldn't notice any difference if I were to wear it. It would just make me more sensitive to our surroundings, but that just doesn't seem important now." With those thoughts, Krystal put her focusing gem away with the rest of her jewelry.

For the rest of the day, the newlyweds explored Cape Claw. While initially self-conscious of the fact that he was completely naked, Fox quickly got over it. They were truly isolated from the outside world in their matrimonial seclusion. The surrounding forest was bountiful in fruit trees, which made for a tasty and satisfying breakfast for the two foxes.

By midafternoon, they were relaxing together among the flowers under a tree overlooking the beach. Snuggling together, their hands freely wandered over each other. Fox had one arm draped over his wife's shoulder with his hand gently groping her breast while the other hand was lovingly cupping her mound between her legs. Krystal sighed happily at her husband's loving attention and leaned against him, letting her fox have his way with her.

"I can feel that you are still a bit sore from last night."

"A bit, but I have no regrets. You've made me a truly happy vixen."

_"The happiest on all of Lylat?"_came the amused thought from her tod. He then gave her breast another squeeze and drew his finger against her slit.

Krystal started to breath heavily from her husband's arousing ministrations. "Oh Fox, I want you so badly now, but I need to let myself recover fully."

"And I wouldn't want it any other way." Fox relented, content to just gently fondle his vixen between her legs without teasing his finger along her wet opening. He breathed in deeply her aroused scent, feeling his own sheath begin to swell.

Krystal of course could immediately feel the sensation of that swelling through their mental bond._ "Feels like you've recovered fully yourself."_ She reached across to her tod's crotch, wrapped her fingers around his sheath, and gave it a firm squeeze, eliciting a sharp intake of breath from her tod, followed by a deep sigh of appreciation. "Oooh. Does my Foxy like?"

Fox was now breathing heavily, feeling his arousal grow and extend out of its home. "Oh Krys, you know I do." His heart began to pound with anticipation when he picked up his wife's next thought.

Krystal slid out from under her lover's arm and moved to lay down between his spread legs._ "That's right, Foxy. Just relax and let me take care of you." _ Fox's thoughts became incoherent upon feeling his vixen's tongue slowly drag along the underside of his growing erection from base to tip. She continued lavishing her attention on her husband's maleness, breathing deeply his musky, aroused scent. Swirling her tongue around his tip, which was already leaking, she discovered that she loved how he tasted. Without any further delay, she took his length into her muzzle all the way down to his crotch fur and started nursing on him.

Fox looked down with lidded eyes at the erotic sight of his wife giving him a blowjob. When she started bobbing her head while sucking on him, he closed his eyes and moaned. "Oh Krystal. You are so good to me."

The vixen smiled around her muzzle-full and continued sliding his length in and out of her mouth while keeping a tight seal around his girth. She could feel through their mental link how incredibly pleasurable her oral ministrations felt. Hearing his moans and thoughts of gratitude brought her such joy that she knew she'd be giving him blowjobs on a regular basis.

The delirious tod could sense how much she enjoyed sucking him and could taste his length through their mental link, which made the experience all the more erotic. Focusing his mind on her point of view, it in some ways felt like he was giving himself a blowjob. He heard his vixen giggle in his mind at that impression. "So you like how you taste too?"

Any reply he could think of was driven from his mind when she sank her muzzle all the way down to his base and swallowed around his length while she cupped his jewels in one hand and gave them a gentle squeeze. She remained there, breathing through her nose, swallowing and sucking his length, and squeezing his treasure.

Fox had to focus all his will in not bucking up into his vixen's throat. He also wanted to remain completely passive and let himself enjoy the wonderful experience she was giving him. His hands of their own volition came to rest on her head, but quickly drew back. Without letting up on the oral pleasuring she was giving her husband, Krystal immediately reached out, grabbed his hands, and placed them firmly against the sides of her head. "You are not taking advantage of me, Fox, nor will you choke me. So go ahead and grab my head and hold me there if you want."

Krystal murred happily around her vupline's length when she felt his grip on her head tighten and thrusted up once into her muzzle. She did wince though when she felt her teeth press against his swelling knot and quickly drew back before it became lodged in her muzzle. Knowing that he was starting to get close, she began to slide his length in and out of her muzzle while maintaining a firm suction and squeezing his knot with both hands.

She continued driving him closer to his peak until she could feel that he was on the brink. She then deliberately stopped bobbing her head and kept her lips pressed firmly against his knot. She languidly suckled on his length to draw out the moment and keep him at a precipice. Realizing what she was doing to him, Fox lovingly stroked his fingers through her hair to express his deep appreciation. He closed his eyes and went completely limp, letting himself slide over the edge.

Fox threw back his head and grunted, throbbing repeatedly down his vixen's throat which tightened with each pulse to swallow his essence. His legs reflexively lifted, and he then wrapped them around her back below her arms and pulled her against him while firmly holding her head down. A few more strong spasms rippled through his loins before his whole body slipped into a profound afterglow.

His eyes opened and he gazed down at the vixen he so loved who was still gently suckling on him and enjoying what remained of his essence, murring in pleasure at the taste of him. He ran his fingers through her hair and caressed her ears, his heart filled with a profound sense of gratitude at the wonderful way she pleasured him. Fox was well aware that not all females enjoyed sucking males, let alone swallow their seed. The fact that his wife not only was willing but eager to fellate him, and would continue to do so regularly, made him feel truly blessed.

Sensing her husband starting to become emotional, Krystal gave his maleness a few final licks as it slipped back into its sheath. She then crawled up to lay her weight on him and kissed him passionately. The two remained there, with their muzzles locked onto each other until they were interrupted by the rumbling of Fox's stomach. Breaking their kiss, both of them giggled while Fox thought, "Getting a wonderful blowjob from my wife has really worked up an appetite."

With all of Cape Claw so full of wildlife for them to hunt, protein was easily obtained. Krystal would shoot plasma bolts from her staff to kill game, which they would cook on a campfire. With her being a guardian and Fox a trained mercenary, both knew how to easily live off the land. In the days that followed, the two also decided to learn spear fishing, which they soon discovered that they could learn quickly and easily by virtue of their telepathic bond combining their mental learning skills.

After Krystal had recovered from her first night, Fox found his wife to be delightfully insatiable. More often than not, they would fall asleep at night with his knot lodged inside his vixen, and continue making love to each other the following morning before breakfast. It also helped that neither of them moved very much while they slept and almost always awoke the next morning still joined.

The newlywed couple's life over the next ten days would comprise of sleeping, mating, eating, mating, playing on the beach, mating on the beach, exploring the surrounding forest, mating in the surrounding forest, and so on. They would explore Cape Claw and also explore each other, finding different ways of bringing each other to new heights of pleasure. They would make love day and night and then have shared erotic dreams each night.

On the morning of the eleventh day, they decided to leave Cape Claw and visit Tricky at the Walled City. After spending the last ten days naked, in the fur, Fox found it odd to be wearing something again, even if it was only his loincloth and sandals. Krystal was once more wearing her traditional Cerinian guardian garb, and decided to again wear her focusing gem. As expected, his telepathic awareness of his wife did not increase when she slipped her headband in place and the bright red gem came to rest on her forehead. Then again, their mental bond was so complete that there could be no further room for augmentation. Nevertheless, he did discover how it sharpened her focus, and through her experienced her heightened awareness of their surroundings.

They made their along the forest paths to Thorntail Hollow and traveled by warp stone to the Walled City. At the base of the main pyramid, they found Tricky conferring with the queen of the CloudRunners. Fox waved to his saurian friend. "Hey there, Pal. Nice to see you again."

"Fox! How're ya doing?"

Krystal and Fox replied together, "We are doing wonderfully."

Tricky grinned knowingly at his two mammalian friends. "Yah, I can imagine."

Krystal focused on the triceratops and under her gaze, she and Fox saw an image of them mating on the top of the Ocean Force Point Temple in broad daylight.

"Tricky! We didn't do it where you are thinking."

The saurian monarch laughed and Krystal giggled and answered, "We did it inside the temple,"

"and on the beach," Fox added.

"in the forest," Krystal continued.

"under the waterfall,"

"in the shallows along the river,"

"and in the cottage you had built for us," they concluded together.

Tricky was overjoyed to hear that his two friends were so happy together.

"We're very grateful that you arranged to create this sanctuary for us." They walked up to their friend and placed a hand on his flank. "To have a place of our own that allowed us to express our love for each other without fear of prying eyes was the most wonderful gift you could have ever given us."

Tricky looked fondly to first one and then the other vulpine standing on each side of him. "I'm glad....So is your honeymoon over then?"

"Not for another 19 days. We just felt like taking a day to visit you here before going back." As one, the two vulpine turned to the queen of the CloudRunners. "Though we had not expected to be seeing you here, Your Majesty, given the history of your people with the EarthWalkers."

The pterodactyl monarch nodded to the two foxes. "While it is true that our tribes have not gotten on well in the past, we have since the Aparoid Invasion begun to set aside our differences and help each other. After we had suffered such terrible losses, the EarthWalkers have been very helpful in rebuilding our structures and homes."

Krystal and Fox smiled upon hearing of the two tribes' reconciliation while the CloundRunner queen continued. "I also wish to apologize for not being able to attend your wedding. Unfortunately, we were in the middle of a council among all the CloudRunner clans at the time. So let me now offer my congratulations on behalf of all CloudRunners on becoming a mated couple."

"We thank you."

The queen then turned to Tricky. "I will take my leave of you, my friend. I believe we are done here for now, and I can return in a few days if we need to discuss anything further."

The EarthWalker king bowed to the pterodactyl. "Thank you for coming. I will let you know if there is anything else we need to talk about. Have a safe flight back to your home."

With those words, the queen of the CloudRunners took to the skies and flew away.

Fox and Krystal spent the rest of the afternoon visiting the EarthWalkers, being shown around by their king, and seeing all the more recent changes that had been made. By late afternoon, they were sitting by the moat's edge in one corner of the Walled City. The two were snuggling together, gazing out at the flowing water below them, and just enjoying the close physical contact that they were sharing.

Fox rested his head on her shoulder, deeply breathing in her scent. His mind drifted back to the last ten wonderful days, and the physical, mental, and spiritual intimacy. He had by now grown so used to her constant presence in his mind, and his constant awareness of everything she was thinking and feeling, that he could not imagine life without that connection to her.

Krystal read all these thoughts and emotions in her husband, things that she herself was feeling. She too rejoiced in the merging of their minds and souls, and like her soulmate, definitely enjoyed sharing with him the joys of the flesh. Knowing this, and just because the mood struck her, she reached under his loincloth and groped him, wrapping her fingers around his sac to give him a gentle, affectionate squeeze.

This elicited a sharp intake, followed by deep breaths and sighs full of appreciation at the loving, intimate touch. The tod wrapped his arms around his wife and leaned against her while she continued to fondle him. When her fingers curled around his sheath and squeezed, he closed his eyes and went limp. He always loved it when she did this to him, not only for the simple physical pleasure, but for the emotional comfort it brought him to be touched so intimately.

Her heart was filled with joy at the happiness and pleasure she was giving her husband. She started to stroke him slowly while squeezing him. Lustful thoughts of all the ways they had pleasured each other filled her mind, which her husband could easily read. "Oh Fox, I want you so much now."

Fox began to breathe heavily with each stroke and squeeze of his maleness, his mind running rampant with lustful thoughts of his own. He turned and tilted his head, bringing his muzzle to meld with his wife's in a deep, needful kiss while his own hand slid under her loincloth to press against her aching mound. "I want you too. I need to be inside you. I..." It then dawned upon them that they were not in Cape Claw.

The memory of Priscilla Kane and her long-lensed camera and boom microphone came to mind. They broke the kiss and gazed up and around to the forests surrounding Walled City. Tod and vixen withdrew their hands out from under each other's loincloths while Krystal nervously scanned their surroundings with her telepathy. She couldn't sense anybody, but unlike the cemetery on Corneria, they were now in a location filled with many minds and abundant wildlife. They could not be certain of being safe from prying eyes.

One set of eyes that was focused on them were those of Tricky. They turned to meet those eyes that were looking at them with honest curiosity and affection. Their saurian friend smiled to them. "Aww. Were you two about to mate? Did ya want me to look away?"

"We do find ourselves wanting each other." They then sighed together and Fox said, "But we didn't stop because you were watching us." Krystal's eyes again drifted to the surrounding trees. "Ever since it became known that we were together again, we've had these horrid paparazzi trying to secretly record us in private moments. We can't help but be afraid some might be hiding out there, watching us."

Tricky's eyes blazed with a rare anger and he gnashed his teeth. "Ever since Krystal told me about these awful people, I can't get over how they could be so mean like that when they are mammals like you. Don't they have the same need to hide when they mate?"

"It's about greed, Pal. They'd get paid many scarabs for images of us together for everyone in Lylat to see." Fox explained.

"Which makes your gift from the Krazoa all the more precious to us." Krystal added.

Tricky's expression turned to one of determination. "Then we gotta get you guys back there right now so you two can get back to your honeymoon. Let's go." They quickly followed their friend inside the pyramid and into a room where a warp pad was located. "Guys, thanks for visiting me today. It was good seeing you two again, but don't let me keep you two from mating. This will get you to Cape Claw as quickly as possible."

"Thanks Pal. We really appreciate it," they said together, giving their large friend a hug around his neck from each side, before getting onto the teleporter and vanishing. They found themselves not appearing at the warp stone in ThornTail Hollow, but inside the Ocean Force Point Temple instead.

Ecstatic at finding themselves already in Cape Claw, they quickly exited the inner temple, rushed through the alcove, and out the front entrance to the outer temple. They didn't get much further than a small cluster of trees along the river bank near the temple. Knowing that they were once again safely secluded from the outside world, both quickly shed themselves of their loincloths and sandals and Fox helped his wife take off her bra and the rest of her guardian accoutrements.

The both of them once again naked, Fox joyfully drew his wife back into his arms. His hands drew up behind her head to guide her into a deep, muzzle-locking kiss full of unbridled desire._ "Oh Krystal, I want you so much now."_ He ground himself against his vixen, his arousal already fully extended from its sheath. All he had to do was shift his hips and he'd slide into her already wet slit, but he could see in her mind that his vixen already had other plans.

Krystal broke the kiss and gazed back at her husband with smoldering desire in her eyes. "That's right Foxy. It's been more than a day since your last blowjob, and as far as I'm concerned, you're overdue for another one." She then wrapped her fingers around his length, giving it a loving squeeze.

Fox sighed happily, again feeling blessed that his wife was so eager to suck him. With Krystal having a firm grip around his maleness, he let himself be guided into laying down on the loamy earth at the foot of one of the trees. He watched in rapt anticipation while his vixen settled down between his outspread legs and groaned in blissful pleasure when she immediately took his full erect length into her muzzle and set about fellating him.

The vixen murred in pleasure, loving how her husband tasted. She couldn't get enough of him. Hearing him whimper happily brought joy to her heart and drove her on. While she suckled on him, she glanced up at her tod, making eye contact with him while smiling around his muzzle-filling length.

Fox caressed the side of her head while she continued to nurse, making wet, sucking sounds. He basked in the wonderful pleasure his wife was giving him, feeling himself slide in and out of her tight, hot muzzle. "You sweet, wonderful vixen, I love you with all my heart."

Krystal was unrelenting in her oral ministrations, keeping him pressed between her tongue and ridged palette while maintaining a firm suction. With one hand, she wrapped her fingers around his swelling knot and rhythmically squeezed it while gently gripping and tugging his pouch with her other hand.

Both could feel the exquisite tightness building in his loins. Fox's breathing was becoming labored. He could feel his impending orgasm approaching and held his wife's head in both hands while she continued sliding her muzzle up and down his length all the way to his swelling knot. Krystal could read in his mind that while he very much wanted to climax into her muzzle, he didn't want it to be over so quickly.

She relented only in part to his desire by slowing down so that she was bobbing her head at a slow, steady pace in long, smooth strokes. "I know you want this to last, Foxy, but I'm really hungry for you and will not stop until you cum in my mouth, and right after I want you to pound me hard and fast and want it to last." In the next instant, Krystal projected an image into her tod's mind.

Fox saw a vision of his vixen on all fours with her rear raised and her tail flagging up over her back, exposing her slit, dripping wet and needful. He could feel his wife's desperate desire to be taken coursing through him. That vision, coupled with seeing and feeling his wife utter a throaty moan around his maleness was too much for the tod. His fingers dug into her hair and with an upward thrust into her muzzle, Fox came hard, spurting several mouthfuls of his seed onto her tongue and down her throat.

Krystal herself dug her fingers into her husband's rump, savoring each blast of his seed and humming in pleasure with each swallow. She kept her lips tightly sealed around her vupline's maleness, sucking him vigorously and not letting a single drop escape. With his last spirt, she released her grip on his knot, which quickly shrank, deprived of any compressing pressure around it. She continued to languidly nurse on his length, maintaining suction to keep him from shrinking back into his sheath.

Fox whole body went limp, sinking into a most wonderful afterglow while still enjoying his wife's suckling muzzle. His hands caressed her ears and head in a heartfelt appreciation for this vixen who was so devoted in pleasuring him. Under her gentle suction, he could already feel his arousal returning. She gave his erection a few parting licks as she drew back. "Your knot's shrunken."

"Yeah, it's going to take me a while to cum again."

Still on her knees, Krystal turned around and stretched out on all fours with her rump raised invitingly while resting her shoulders and arms on the ground. Her tail was raised high and to the side, exposing her nether regions and glistening opening. She looked back over her shoulder at her husband with eyes full of desire. "Good, because I need a good, long pounding...badly. Please Fox. Take me."

Seeing her looking so needful, Fox could not ignore his wife's plea. Taking a firm grip of her hips, he lined himself up behind her and immediately slid himself fully into her warm, tight depths. Both groaned at the shared blissful sensation of simultaneously penetrating and being penetrated. Fox planted his feet on each side of his vixen's hips and ground himself against her shapely rump to savor the pleasure of being fully sheathed inside his soulmate. He then drew back until he was almost fully withdrawn and immediately sank himself all the way in again.

Krystal hummed and whimpered, rocking back against her husband. She then cried out in joy when Fox again withdrew and forcefully plunged back into her._ "Yes! Oh yes!"_ She also mentally shouted to her lover when he settled into a steady rhythm, his back undulating with each thrust. "Harder! Oh yes! So good!"

Fox was now driving himself into his vixen in smooth, powerful strokes, spurred on by her cries of joy and mental urgings. His breathing became labored as he pounded into her forcefully, causing her to slide forward into the ground slightly with each stroke. To keep her in place, he hunched himself over her uplifted rump and wrapped his arms around her waist while he kept pistoning into her hot, quivering depths.

Feeling his arms gripping her tightly around her front, Krystal went limp and surrendered herself completely, letting her mate claim her fully. He was now pounding her with an animalistic fervor and she was loving every moment of it. She could feel her eyes roll back in her head. Her own heavy breathing matched his, coming out in grunts with each impact of his hips against her upturned rump. She could already feel herself being driven towards her peak, the pleasure rushing through her like a tidal wave to quickly explode, radiating out from her convulsing walls to her legs and belly, making her cry out his name in a long-drawn out scream of pure joy.

Through their mental bond, Fox experienced her mind-shattering climax. Such strong pleasure briefly overwhelmed him, making him pause in his rut of his mate, but he quickly recovered and resumed pounding her, even while she continued to twitch and moan under him. Having just moments before emptied his seed down her throat, he now had to work hard to build himself up again, not that he minded. He knew this was what she had been hoping for, and was happy and eager to give her the good rutting she wanted.

Krystal was beyond delirious with pleasure. She lay there with her head resting on the ground, drooling out one side of her muzzle. Her lover was unrelenting and kept on humping her. With her second climax, he only briefly paused. By her third, he kept pounding into her non-stop right through her orgasm. Her whole body now quivered under his continuous, vigorous thrusting, drawing happy whimpers and moans out of her.

Fox had somehow managed to keep driving himself into his vixen even when he experienced her third orgasm. The heights of pleasure he was feeling through their bond were beyond his wildest dreams and drove him on. He was becoming insatiable like a vixen and had no desire to stop pounding her, wanting to drive her to another peak. When he felt her fourth climax begin to course through her, he tightened his grip around her waist and drove himself feverishly in and out of her to keep her orgasm going. He could feel his knot finally begin to swell and was growing desperate for his own climax.

Even as she was coming down from her fourth peak, Krystal could feel her fifth building up in her. She was amazed her tod was able to keep pounding her, even while he experienced her multiple orgasms. Her eyes widened when she started to feel his knot stretching her quivering slit with each thrust. His swelling knot now pressed hard against her sweet spot with each stroke, quickly driving her into a fifth climax that kept thrumming through her each time his knot slid past.

To both their shock and joy, Krystal had slipped into such deep ecstasy that she was climaxing continuously under her husband's pounding. Never in his wildest dreams could Fox have imagined he'd ever experience what it was like to be a vixen at this moment. Inside her mind and body, he could feel himself quivering in a continuous orgasm, kept at her peak by his unrelenting thrusts. He could feel her struggling to not pass out. "Stay with me, Krystal. I'm almost there. Don't pass out on me."

Fox kept pounding his growing knot into her stretched opening, feeling that exquisitely pleasurable tightness building in his loins. That tension kept on growing, becoming deliciously painful until with a final grunt, he slammed himself fully home. In the next instant, both of them felt his knot swell to its fullest, locking them together and his whole maleness spasm to release a powerful blast into her still climaxing body.

It felt like every muscle in their bodies suddenly locked up while their pleasure echoed back and forth between them in an orgasmic feedback loop through their mental bond. With each rhythmic throb of his maleness, her tunnel walls squeezed down hard around his knot. Even while Krystal kept climaxing, she now once again felt what it was like for her husband, looking down at her quivering form while feeling this tight, concentrated pleasure pulsing from his loins. Never before had Fox felt such a prolonged climax. It felt like his wife's orgasm was keeping his male orgasm going. Unending seconds went by until his last few empty throbs became painful. Only then did his whole body become limp and he collapsed on his quivering vixen.

Both lay there on the loamy earth in a semiconscious stupor. Their joined bodies were awash in an afterglow so encompassing, leaving them so relaxed, that they fell into a happily exhausted sleep where they were. It was sometime later, with the sun lower in the sky, that Fox slowly drifted awake, still buried deeply inside his vixen even though his knot had shrunk. Within moments, Krystal found herself waking up under the comforting weight of her husband laying fully on her back with his maleness wonderfully still filling her.

Fox slid his arms possessively around his wife's waist and drew her to him even as he rolled them onto their side to spoon with her and keep himself still inside her. Like many times before, he really didn't want to pull out of her comforting, tight depths. He lay there giving his vixen soft kisses behind her neck while kneading her breasts, enjoying how pleasant it felt for her. He ground his crotch against her rump, feeling himself slide a bit deeper into her, but the sexual ardor was simply not there. Both of them were so completely sated, though Fox could sense through their bond that Krystal still enjoyed having him inside her. "I'm amazed that even after the hard pounding I gave you that you are not even feeling the least bit sore."

Krystal turned her head around to give her lover a warm, affectionate kiss. "I don't think I'll ever tire of any of it." She ground her rump back against his crotch and gave her tod a tender lick on the top of his muzzle, between his eyes. "Though I'm feeling from you that I've completely drained your balls. Your last few spasms felt like they were hurting you a bit."

Her husband chuckled out loud and thought back, "Yeah, that happens when you cum when you are out of amo." Both giggled at his colorful description of a dry orgasm before Fox shared an additional thought._ "As much as we enjoy being like this, I am feeling a bit peckish, and can tell you are feeling the same. How about we get something to eat?"_

"Yes. Let's get some food."

The two foxes separated, quickly washed up in the river, and then gathered their scant clothing. Once again remaining in the fur, they made their way to their cottage and put everything away, though Krystal did decide to keep wearing her focusing gem. Krystal went out hunting with her staff while Fox went to spear fish in the shallows where the river emptied into the ocean. The two soon had an impromptu surf-n-turf dinner roasting over the campfire on the beach.

With the sun setting over the ocean, the two lovers sat and snuggled together in the glow of the crackling fire. Their mental and spiritual union brought to them a sense of peace and contentment. Fox once again took comfort in feeling his wife everywhere in his mind, knowing that he'd never be alone again. He smiled at his vixen while she poked at one memory or another while his thoughts drifted along. Fox himself marveled at how he was now able to freely wander through her mind, probing her memories and listening to her own random thoughts.

Krystal sighed happily at her husband's mental presence which brought her as much comfort as she did for him. She could not help but smile at how he seemed at times tentative with his newfound ability to read her every thought and memory. It had been only 11 days so far since their bonding. So she would gently draw him in and encourage her soulmate to wander where he wanted inside her mind. While they were still individuals in that they each could think independently, it was not surprising that they would often think as one.

So the desire to mate would often well up in both of them at the same time, as it did now when both sets of hands started to gently fondle and caress each other. But before they could go any further, the sea breeze picked up, scattering sand about them on the beach, and both of them thought of the comfortable bed that awaited them inside their cottage. Once inside their abode that was their sanctuary within the sanctuary that was Cape Claw, they resumed their intimate play.

The remaining 19 days of their honeymoon was one of total bliss. Countless hours were spent exploring different ways of pleasuring each other, and making love in a wide variety of positions. Day or night, while awake or asleep, there was never a time when Krystal didn't welcome her lover's touch. In fact, she often was eager for it, being the insatiable vixen that she was. And because of their shared telepathic bond, Fox found himself becoming as insatiable as a vixen. Like her, he always welcomed her intimidate touch at all times, and was just as eager.

Then there was their telepathic bond. It elevated their intimacy to a whole new level. Both knew what it felt like for their partner. For Fox, having never grown up as a telepath like his wife, this was an especially powerful experience. Never in his dreams had he ever imagined he'd come to know what it was like to be a vixen. Because of their mental link, he now also knew what it was like to be a telepath, even though hers was the only mind he could read. Thanks to his soulmate's encouragement and guidance, he was no longer tentative in initiating any mental interaction with her.

Never had Fox and Krystal been happier, and when their 30-day honeymoon came to an end, that happiness would not be quelled. Both knew deep down that their marital bliss would be with them for all eternity, for they were truly One Heart, One Mind, One Soul.
