Tainted ice

On the planet Polar, orbiting just too far from its sun for human comfort, live the ursine people. Tough, industrious, smart and loving; these are just some of the words you could use to describe the people. Close minded, zealous, violent and vengeful; unfortunately these words can also be used to describe many of the polar people.

The world is mostly a frozen wasteland, huge areas of the planet have been enjoying a status of permafrost for millennia. Plants, as humans know them, only grow along the coast of the only ocean, at the equator where the temperature often rises to a tropical five degrees Celsius. The ocean also is home to a thick layer of algae, acting as the lungs of the planet.

A thousand miles from that ocean sits a small mining village. A few kilometres above that village sits a cave. Inside it's a warm zero Celsius, the cosy cave is filled with comfortable furniture. One chair sitting beside a fire, one small bed behind the chair against the wall, a small table with a single cup and plate neatly placed and spotlessly clean. Everything about this cave is neat and tidy, every item has a place and it sits in that place until the owner of the cave needs it. Then once used it is cleaned and replaced quickly, as if it had never moved.

The inhabitant of the cave is Kane, a rather large polar. He towers at nearly eight foot tall, big even for his species and broad at the chest and stomach as well. There are few who can match his strength. Not that many have had cause to, for while he is large he is also patient and gentle. Raised by his grandfather from the age of five, after his parents died in an avalanche, he was twenty four now and he had completed his mandatory tour in the Polar armed forces two years ago.

He had been in the infantry, a heavy gunner and he'd been good at it. Patient and fearless, even under heavy fire, he had served his people with honour and then left as soon as it was possible. Violence was something he was never comfortable with and when the option came to stop he stopped. Returning to the cave he had lived in for years with his now departed grandfather, taking a job in the mines and living a quiet life.

Many people took Kane to be slow and stupid, seeing nothing but his huge bulk and mistaking his slow cautious speech for a slow mind. That's where most of the people who knew him made a mistake. His mind while not the most agile was not slow, it was thorough and cautious. He kept his true thoughts to himself and seldom joined in or offered an observation on any topic.

He sat by a small fire with a warm cup in his paw sipping a soothing herbal tea after a long day down in the mines. He did this every night right after he had eaten and washed his dishes. Once he finished his drink he would read a chapter of a book. One chapter no more and no less every night. Then he would go to sleep before waking up early for another day in the mines.

However, this night he would not get the chance to follow his routine because there was a knock at the door. A rather fast paced knock, four taps, three taps and then four more taps. He put his cup carefully down, his brow furrowed with curiosity. He recognised the knock, but he knew that this was wrong. He wasn't supposed to get a visit for at least another week.

Placing his cup carefully on the table he walked to the door and opened it. On the other side was a much smaller polar, his fur the usual pure white, his eyes a very rare emerald green. He was a foot and a half smaller than Kane and as the door opened the male couldn't contain a smile.

Kane frowned at the other polar. "Able, this is too soon after your last visit. Is everything ok?"

The other male pushed inside quickly, kicking the snow off his boots and laughing. "It's happened it's Finally Happened!" the smaller male announced pulling off his large mitts.

"What has happened?" Kane asked taking his friends mitts and placing them carefully in front of the fire so that they would be warm when his friend left.

"Commercial transports offworld. To the Human Republic no less. Don't you see....we can escape!" The smaller male said suddenly pushing forward wrapping his arms around Kane and standing on his toes to kiss the larger bear tenderly on the lips.

The larger male held back for a few seconds, before finally relaxing and returning both the huge and kiss. As the kiss finally ended he asked. "How much does it cost?"

The younger male sighed and looked down. "That's the bad part, tickets start at eight thousand credits per passenger."

"That's a lot." Kane observed keeping the smaller held male tightly in his arms.

"I know, but we can save. Don't you see it's just a matter of time and then we can be together." Able whispered kissing his lover on the cheek and then neck.

The larger bear moaned softly at the attention. "We'd need money to start a life too." He observed quietly and then added. "Three months."

It was the smaller male's turn to be confused. "Three months?"

"Three months of saving and we can go, with a few thousand credits to help us set up a new life. Assuming the humans will accept us." The bear announced, this long sentence in his slow patient tones taking forever to finish.

Able squeezed the larger bear in unadulterated glee. "Three months!! You must have savings, I have some too we might be able to get away in two. The humans understand deviants like us, they'll give us asylum. We'll be safe and free and together!" The smaller bear would have been dancing with joy if Kane had not been holding him so tightly.

Kane smiled at his lover, enjoying his happiness as he felt the hope of final escape creep into his heart. Even his patient and cautious nature couldn't fight against it, a way offworld, a chance to live without fear it was so much more than he had dared to dream. Still he had to make sure he kept his mate in check or they would be caught. "You could have waited until next week to tell me. They killed a young male over in Truro last week."

Able gasped loudly. "Who was he?"

The large bear shrugged his shoulders, causing a shadow to fall briefly over Able's face. "Just some boy who was too friendly with another boy."

The smaller male pushed away a little and growled. "Bastards! He probably wasn't even like us."

Kane nodded knowing his lover was probably correct. "We must be careful."

"I... I should go." Able whispered his expression so crestfallen that Kane felt his heart override his head.

"You're here now, the risk is taken. We should enjoy some time together."

The smaller male's beaming smile made Kane's knees feel weak and he found himself sitting down on his cot. The two had met during their service, Able had spotted his deviant nature straight the way. He'd done something Kane had never been able to, no matter how much he had wanted to, he'd taken a risk and one late night patrol he'd told the larger male of his feelings. If Kane had not been a deviant as well then Able would have been killed. Of course Kane was just like Able and he had fallen for the quick witted and passionate, yet small, male.

Able pulled off his boots and clothes as quickly as he could. "We don't have much time." They never did, a stay of more than an hour or two would have raised suspicions of the locals. Still Kane relished every moment, every hug, every kiss, every heartbeat taken in the presence of his love.

Kane quickly pulled off his own clothes folding them neatly and placing them by the bed. He had only just finished when Able threw himself at the larger male. They kissed passionately, their hearts beating rapidly, two warm bodies entwined as their tongues danced. The air filled with the passionate moans and the heavy musk of two male bears in rut.

It was Able who broke the kiss first, panting heavily the smaller male began to nuzzle and kiss his way down his lover's body. Inhaling his spicy musk and surrounding himself in the sensations of his mate's body. The male nipped lightly on the larger bear's stomach, earning deep moans from Kane and two strong paws caressing down his back.

How he longed to be able to spend time exploring his love, to learn every nook of his body. Sadly they would not have time for that, still now there was hope that someday there would be. His heart was warmed by the thoughts of spending a whole night in the arms of his large lover bear. Just as his mouth was warmed by the thick musky maleness of his lover. He thrust his muzzle down on the hot black bear meat, taking as much into his maw as he could.

Kane gasped loudly as he felt the warm maw surrounding his needy cock. It may have been an unexpected visit, but it was a most welcome one as always. He gasped and cried out as the eager male bobbed and sucked nosily on his thick meat. He remembered the first time that Able had done that too him, on extended wilderness training, the two of them spending several nights in a small shelter during a large snowstorm. The young males were unable to contain themselves from passionately exploring each other. The forbidden encounter had set his heart a blaze turning the smouldering tinder of their romance into a roaring fire of love.

He gasped his cock throbbing hard sending a jet of thick musky pre into his lover's maw. He felt the thick tongue of his mate lapping up the tangy fluid and swirling around his cocktip in the hopes of more. Which Kane was all too willing to provide. He felt a burning need growing inside him and began to whine softly.

Able smiled as he heard his lover whine, he knew it meant only one thing. Still he kept sucking and bobbing on the hot length he was going to make the other male ask for it. He loved the feel of the cock in his muzzle. How could anyone tell him this was wrong, it felt so right, more right than anything else in his life? His paws caressed his lover's large furry nuts, lightly rolling and tugging on them feeling the weight of cum that he would soon extract.

The larger bear could no longer contain himself and he whined louder. "Please Able, I need you!"

The smaller male pulled off his length and looked up at him smiling. "I need you too." He reached under the bed and taped to the bottom he found the bottle he needed. A thick cooking oil, but it would serve. The young polar stood up getting a good pawful of oil he gasped as he stroked it over his hard throbbing needy length of maleness.

The larger male had already slipped his lower half off the bed, lifting his rear to the height he knew his lover would need. Able reached his paws out, ruffling the thick fur on those wonderful large firm buttocks. Squeezing them and feeling how the firm meat worked under his paws. Some day he would be able to spend hours just rubbing and caressing these wonderful firm mounds. Right now however, neither of them had the time and their lust was too high to waste what little time they had.

The smaller bear carefully guided his cocktip to Kane's pucker. As the larger bear moaned in lust Able grinned, grinding his cocktip slowly against the tight pucker, slowly teasing the bear open. The larger bear groaned as he felt his smaller mate's thick cocktip sliding in painlessly. He closed his eyes enjoying the warmth of his mate behind him, the feel of the thick bear meat slowly and wonderfully spreading his insides.

Able grabbed the large ursine's plump rear and sighed happily as he hilted inside Kane. He took a moment to bask in the feeling of his lover strapped around his cock, his balls nestling against Kane's huge orbs. He could feel the other bear's heart beat as Kane's insides massaged Able's thick fuck pole.

"Please!" Kane whispered desperately, the feel of the thick meat just resting inside him both arousing and teasing him. He wanted more, he needed to be taken to feel the power of his mate's unbridled lust. Able smiled as the larger bear begged him, his paws slowly stroked across the other bear's back, claws teasing the skin under the thick plush layers of fur.

As he heard Kane whine with lust he cursed the world that prevented him spending hours teasing the bear. As he began to rut into the male beneath him he thought of their future. Once they escaped this intolerant world he and Kane would spend weeks and months making up for lost time. He would take the bear in every position he could think of. His thrusting grew faster and harder making the male under him groan with lust and pleasure.

Kane gasped loudly as his partners cock reamed deep inside him, slamming into his prostate again and again. He clawed at his blankets as waves of pleasure flooded his body. He could barely catch his breath as the pounding of the bear's hips smacking into his own sent shockwaves through his body. He loved being bred like this, he couldn't count the number of nights he'd dreamt of Able breeding him and woken to find his blanket dripping in pre and cum.

He wished his love could stay with him again. As he felt his mate's thrusting growing faster and faster, the smaller male reaching under him to start jerking his hard hot meat, he thought back to their army training. There had been one day, just the two of them out on a scouting mission, one long night together. Able had bred him four times and then the two had lain together all night gazing at each other as the stars looked down at them with jealous eyes. One night together, it had been a perfect night and when the cruel world they lived in got to him, he clung to that memory for strength.

The large bear cried out loudly his cock throbbing hard in Able's paw as he soaked his bedclothes in cum. The smaller bear gasped heavily the suddenness of his mate's orgasm taking him by surprise. The rear he was pounding suddenly becoming impossibly tight, massaging and milking his cock in the most exquisite way possible. Unable to take more than a few seconds of the blissful torture his cries joined Kane's as he pumped a heavy musky load of bear cum deep inside his love.

He collapsed on top of his lover both of them panting heavily as their minds were blank of any thoughts but of the one they loved. For a brief moment the cruel world disappeared and there was nothing but two hearts beating as one, two bodies and souls entwined in pure and beautiful love.

After a few minutes the world came back painfully and reluctantly Able pulled his cock out of his lover. He looked at his beautiful mate and sighed, his heart wanted nothing more than to lay down on the bed with Kane, kiss him and spend the night lost in his golden eyes. Instead he said. "I need to go shower."

Kane nodded his agreement knowing that Able had to leave soon and that if anyone smelled another male on him their love would be exposed.

As Able left for the shower the smaller male stopped in the doorway turning to say. "I... love you, you know." The larger bear smiled and then looked a little worried.

Able smiled wider. "I know, you can't say it yet. Someday you will though and I know you feel it too." With that he got into the shower and washed himself thoroughly.

When he got out he pulled on his clothes quickly checking his watch. "Two hours, that's about right." He said sadly as he grabbed a bottle a polar rum from a small dresser beside the bed. He poured some onto his paw and rubbed it into his hair. "Smell clear?"

Kane sniffed the bear and nodded. "Four weeks two days." The large bear said sadly.

Able had to resist the urge to kiss his mate, he couldn't risk getting any male scent where it didn't belong. "That should be the last time, after that we'll be off among the stars and to a world where the people are bald, tiny and not insanely bigoted."

The large bear grinned widely. "I can't wait."

The smaller bear opened the door and before he left said. "Two months and we can finally be together like we were meant to be." Then he headed out, he walked unsteadily stumbling once or twice in case anyone was watching. He was just an old army friend of Kane's walking home after one drink too many.

As he walked he stuck a paw in his pocket and found a small piece of paper there. He was sure his pocket had been empty and pulled out the note. It was from Kane he read it and then as a tear slid down his cheek he looked around himself to make sure no-one was watching and then he popped the note into his mouth. It needed to be destroyed but he wanted the words to be a part of him forever.

The month passed as slowly as they all did. Able found each day a struggle, fighting the boredom of working in the mines and worse the dull ache of his heart that he always felt when apart from his love. The fact that their salvation was so close only seemed to make the days drag by even slower.

At last the day came when he knew he'd get a few hours with his love. That day passed by so slow he felt like his shift was ten times its normal length. However, eventually it ended and he had to force himself not to hurry too quickly to Kane's. The day was almost over the suns light fading fast a few flakes of snow falling on the frozen landscape as he approached Kane's door.

He reached out and knocked the weight of his paw pushing the door open. The fur on the back of his neck stood up as his nose picked up the sickly scent of blood. His heart stopped and for a moment he stood there frozen, too terrified of what lay behind the door to go on and yet unable to just leave without finding out.

Eventually he pushed harder and the door swung open. Kane's tidy home was a mess, his belongings everywhere. Able felt sick as his nose recognised the scent of Kane's blood along with that of at least three others. He knew there had been a hell of a fight in the apartment. Kane hadn't contacted him, if the bear had been attacked and escaped he would have contacted him.

His ears picked up the soft crunch of boots on snow and he realised this was a trap set to catch him. How had they found out, they had been so careful, had one of them slipped up? It didn't matter now Kane was gone and soon he would join him. Gulping slowly as fear began to take hold he reached down unfastening his boots. The claws on his feet combined with the strength of his legs would allow him to disembowel an opponent if he got close. He looked around the destroyed home of his former lover looking for anything he could use as a weapon.

As he stepped forward he felt his foot bump into something. It was Kane's cup he bent down slowly and picked it up. It was Kane's regimental mug it bore they symbol of the regiment they had both served in. Able had one at home, as he stared at the mug his eyes began to flood with tears as the grief hit him. His mate was gone, they had taken him where he couldn't follow. He slipped to his knees by the dying embers of the fire gasping for breath as he wept.

Then his ears caught another sound, a snigger! They had taken the kindest, most gentle, sweetest male that he'd ever met and killed him. Now they were laughing about it. Fear, grief, pain, helplessness all fled from his mind replaced by a hatred so pure that he couldn't control himself. He roared louder than he had ever done in his life, putting all his pure hatred into his voice, challenging those bastards outside. They had been waiting for him to run, now that he hadn't they were coming for him.

As he got to his feet he saw a young male step through the door. With a swift kick Able sent Kane's table spinning across the room with such force it exploded into fragments of wood as it hit the male sending him sprawling to the ground. As a second male entered Able's arm spun around Kane's cup held tightly in it as he flung the contents into the males face. He screamed as the embers from the fire, scooped into the cup moments before, landed across his face. His fur bursting into flames he tried to run out into the snow but his way was blocked by the mob behind him.

Able wasn't paying him any attention his heart was filled with a black rage and he had a moment or two with one of his opponents down and helpless. The smart thing to do would be to hit the back door and run for it. Instead he leaped on the fallen polar, his claws tearing into the flesh of the male's shoulder. He began to rain down blows on the fallen male, bellowing with pure hatred as he pounded the male's face into a bloody mess.

He would have killed the male, however, he never got the chance as two more polar landed on him. Grabbing his arms and rolling on the floor. Something flashed in front of his muzzle and is jawsnapped at it, ripping off an ear with great satisfaction and a scream from the other polar. He kicked with his legs scoring a deep gash on one of his attacker's flanks. However, his struggles were quietened by a boot to the head.

His mind spun and as his arms were held tightly he felt more blows begin to rain down he felt his right arm shatter as someone kicked it. His left leg broke as another polar smashed it with one of the legs from the table. He was beaten about the head, he felt rib after rib crack and shatter as they pounded on his chest. As the pain became too much he passed out gratefully.

When he awoke he was aware that he was being dragged through the snow by his limbs. His left leg screaming in pain as they pulled on his broken bones. He could see the bloody trail he was leaving in the snow and the faces of his attackers. He recognised a few, work colleagues, the female baker from town, a male from the local tavern. Polars he had spoken to, some he even thought of as friends.

Eventually they dropped him and he rolled over onto his back. Someone was saying something, he recognised the voice of the local priest. He ignored the words and looked around spying a bloody broken mass a few meters away he suddenly realised that was Kane. Fighting through the pain he crawled the best he could on his broken limbs, each movement bringing screaming pain to him. Eventually he reached Kane, the large bear was lifeless. His guts spilled onto the snow, his beautiful face bruised and broken.

Reaching up with trembling smashed fingers Able slowly closed his mate's eyes. Pulling the heavy head against his chest. He breathed deeply, his anger, hatred, grief and loss all spent. He knew he had just moments left his arms tightened around his love and he found himself filling with a strange sense of peace. No more hiding, no more lies, just him and Kane together forever. He closed his eyes and thought back to the note Kane had slipped into his coat on their last time together.

"My Dearest Able,

As much as I try I cannot be sorry that our time together is so short. Your visits make me feel alive in a way I can't describe. I feel so grateful for those moments we steal together that I cannot be sad that they are so short and so rare. I know I have never been able to say this aloud, but know that I love you, now and always.

Yours forever

Kane"

He held tightly to Kane until the blows became too much and he gasped his last breath. His body going limp resting against his love as the mob laughed and rejoiced in the death of the deviants.

The next morning the mothers and fathers of the village brought their children by to see what happens to those who ignore the teachings of Grall and indulge in deviant behaviour. One mother dragging her young cub right up to their bodies.

"Do you see Benny, do you see what happens to those who turn their backs on the light?"

The young bear rubbed his nose looking at the two. "Yes Mama." He said quietly as he stared at them he couldn't help but notice the peaceful smile on the face of the smaller corpse.

"Have you learned your lesson?" The mother asked loudly.

"Yes Mama." The child replied dutifully as somewhere inside him a voice he never knew he had whispered in his mind. "Don't let them catch you, like they caught them."

"This place will forever be tainted by their evil and we should be grateful that they were caught and that justice has been done." The female bear announced many of the other parents uttering agreements.

Benny found himself staring at the two peaceful bears unable to see the taint of evil that the others talked about. He could see blood but everyone has blood inside them and it was their punishers who had caused the blood stain. Still his inner voice made him nod and join in the groups' admonishment of the deviants.
