Any Port in a Storm
Just a quick oneshot request I had from WhiteWolfMoonHowl
Characters are both hers
Hope you enjoy
It had started out as such a beautiful day, with the sun shining through some light clouds, a perfect day for a light hike through the hills and woodlands. Selene always joked that despite her looks she was more dog than cat, with a love for the outdoors that rivalled any purebred canine, nothing was more fun and exhilarating to her than exploring new places and following trails she'd never been along before.
So it had been with a light heart and a spring in her step that she set out that morning, determined to enjoy the last of the summer weather before the cold, wet of autumn forced her back inside for the winter. After all, outdoors was nice but when it was rainy and windy her catlike nature forced her to curl up by fire, enjoying its warmth as she read a book or just relaxed while all that nasty weather got on without her outside.
She'd spent the day well, following streams through the sun dappled woodland shade, finding small hidden clearings with no sign of interference of any kind. She'd enjoyed a simple lunch perched on an outcrop of rock, looking out over the sea of trees surrounding her. It might as well have been another world, with no evidence of people within sight, just an unending wooded landscape rolling off in every direction.
It was a couple of hours after lunch that she turned to head for home, her sense of direction leading her back the way she'd come. The afternoon was dimming around her with a good many miles left to go, but as an experienced walker it didn't bother her. She'd be able to get back before true dark set it, secure in her own competence.
A few drops of water landing on her muzzle caused her to look up at the sky in puzzlement, it hadn't been meant to rain today had it? The forecasts had been certain that there wouldn't be any for at least the next 2 days, it was half the reason she'd come out today on such short notice. Her lightweight jacked would keep off some light rain, but those clouds up there looked anything but light, and as the wind picked up she could see more clouds pouring across the sky, dark, angry and promising. Turning up her collar against the rising chill she hurried on, it was only another hour or so, she'd be able to get back faster if she hurried. She might get a little wet but on the ride home she'd dry off and then she could have a nice bath at home to warm up. She told herself was nothing to worry about, but sped up all the same.
The rain started properly 10 minutes later. It didn't drop hints, it didn't mess around. It came on hard, sweeping across the landscape in an almost solid curtain, gusts of howling wind following on behind, blowing the deluge on ever harder. Soaked to the bone within minutes, Selene soldiered on, it wasn't far now, she had towels and blankets in the car just for this kind of emergency. She wouldn't even drive home, she'd dry off in the car and wrap up warm with the heater on to wait out the worst of this unexpected storm. But beneath the bravado, a hard nugget of fear was growing, the dark clouds were bringing nightfall on early, darkening the sky with their presence, and with rain falling thick around her she wasn't able to see clearly for more than a few metres in front of her, with the world becoming a hazy set of silhouettes and outlines around her. Trees loomed suddenly in front where moments before she had thought the path wide and clear. Fear spiking suddenly she backtracked for a few paces, finding the path again and hurrying on, careful to follow her one way out amidst the ever darkening gloom that surrounded her. It'd be ok, she'd be fine, if only she could stick to the path...
She wasn't fine, it wasn't ok.
It was 4 hours later and she had no idea where she was. She didn't even know at what point she'd become lost, she must have taken a side path in the dark and rain, one of the smaller trails branching off from the main route, possibly even one she'd trodden earlier in the day when everything was bright and sunny. All she knew was that at some point the path had petered out and she'd lost it amongst the trees and undergrowth. First she'd tried to double back to find it again, hoping to follow it back to the correct route, hoping to find her way once more, but by then it was too late. She couldn't find it amongst the heavy brush and wouldn't even know if it was the path she was looking for if she did. After 20 minutes of fruitless searching she'd picked a direction that was, as far as she could tell, towards the nearest road. There'd be cars out, even in this weather, and someone would take pity on her, pick her up and take her to the nearer rest stop. She could arrange to pick up her car later, it didn't matter as long as she could get out of this weather.
But the first 10 minutes had stretched then 30, then an hour. There was no sign of a road, nothing but the immediate trees around her, covered by a constant haze of rain. The wind blew like a gale between the trunks, driving stinging water into her eyes to blind her. Every few minutes lightning split the sky, causing shapes and shadows it jumps out at her menacingly before the crashing boom of thunder rolled over her, deafening above the chatter of the rain.
She wasn't walking by now, or even hurrying, she was sprinting between the trees, breaths coming in gasps of exertion between the sobs that escaped her. She ran on, heedless to the scratches and scrapes that the bushes drew across her bare legs and arms, oblivious to the mud that splattered over her from the puddles she ran through or was splashed up at her by the strength of the rain. She was coated in dirt and leaves, having slipped repeatedly in her flight, her fur matted and the flesh beneath bruised from her repeated falls. Each time though, she picked herself up and continued. She didn't know where she was, didn't know where she was going. All that mattered was to keep moving, it was that or sit down, collapse, and wait for what might come. So she ran on, tears mingling with the rain as it streaked down her fur. She ran on into the night, no longer hoping, just running.
Up ahead.... The hint of a light...

Jian lay back in his tent, listening to the sound of the weather thundering around his tent, he'd been lucky to finish erecting it before the storm had hit, forcing him inside against the incoming storm. Normally he liked these kind of getaways, trying to have a weekend to himself at least once or twice a month during the better parts of the year. It had looked to be a good last camp of the season, but that just went to show you could never trust the weather to behave as you expected. So he just relaxed on his sleeping bag listening, hearing the rain falling on the canvas above his head, content in his tent.
His ears perked up, at the sound of something crashing through the bushes, audible even above the rain. His mind immediately raced, bringing up images of all sorts of dangerous animal that could be abroad on a night like this. He dismissed these thoughts though, most of them were either too stealthy or generally slower moving, and none of them were likely to be tearing around making such a noise, especially in weather such as this. In any case, he had to look. He cautiously opened the front door to his tent and peered outside into the blackness... and was immediately bowled over by a ball of wet cat fur, scrabbling against him, trying to get into his tent.
While his instinctive reaction was to fight, it soon became obvious that there was no need. The feline in question was a dark purple and black coloured girl, soaked wet from the rain and obviously in no state to be any danger to him. The moment she got inside she scrambled over into the far corner, curling up on herself in a ball, hiding her face under her tail and crying to herself. He didn't blame her, it must have been terrifying to be out alone on a night like this and she was obviously traumatised by it. Grabbing his torch he stuck his head outside and did a quick sweep to make sure there was no one else in trouble out there before zipping the tent closed again and turning his full attention to her.
She was right where he'd left her, in a tightly wrapped ball leaking water all over the floor of his tent. After a brief attempt to get her attention only caused her to curl up tighter with a sob he shrugged and set to work trying to make her comfortable.
Jian worked with a cloth and bowl of water, cleaning what fur he could before beginning to dry her off, talking gently to her the whole time. He worked his way up from her feet, over her legs and back, stroking her comfortingly as he went, encouraging her to calm down and uncurl so he could clean her properly. It seemed to work, and after 10 minutes or so she relaxed enough that he could uncurl her and begin to clean her up properly. By the time he had cleaned her exposed fur she was almost completely relaxed, and had actually dosed off into a sleep, clearly exhausted by the ordeal. Jian shook his head, she'd been lucky really, if she hadn't found her way to him he wouldn't have liked her chances, as it was she'd be lucky if she didn't get ill from the cold. As much as he hated to do it while she was asleep he had to get her out of her wet clothes so she could dry off properly.
Careful so as not to wake her he began to peel off her sodden clothing, washing as he did so, trying to ignore the fact that he was effectively fondling her naked breasts while she was unconscious. After cleaning off as far between her legs as he dared to go he made a second go over her extremities, cleaning out the cuts and scratches her flight had left her with, before finally drying her off as best he could with a warm towel. She was still cold to the touch, even after he wrapped her up in both his blankets. He told himself it was for her best as he slipped in with her, trying to share his warmth with her, to warm her as she finished drying off, before settling down for the night.
He couldn't help watching her in the dim glow of the night lamp, and his heart went out to her as she shuddered in her sleep, crying out gently, fending off things that weren't there. He reached his arms around her, drawing her into a hug, and felt her stiffen and then relax into the embrace, nuzzling into his chest and falling back into a deeper restful sleep. Eventually he began to drift off as well, still holding her tightly.
........................................................................................................................
It was still dark when Selene woke slowly, she'd had the most horrible dream, something about being lost in a forest at night, but it must have been a dream. After all, here she was in bed. As she arched her back against the curiously hard mattress her reaching arm brushed against something. It was warm, furry and definitely not hers. Her eyes snapped open, and she immediately noticed 3 things. She wasn't in her room, she wasn't alone and she was completely naked.
As she lay there, frozen, it all came pouring back at once, the storm, the running and finally finding this tent in the middle of nowhere. She dimly remembered kind, gentle paws cleaning her, dealing with her wounds while a voice reassured her. She felt herself relax, he hadn't hurt her and had cared for her when she needed it the most. Looking over her shoulder at him Selene couldn't help admiring him as he slept, eyeing his broad shoulders and glossy striped fur, feeling certain thoughts rising unbidden in her mind. She was going to have to reward him somehow, and she thought that she knew exactly how to do it. But not right now, as far as she knew he'd been the perfect gentleman with her, and it was so warm in bed with him. So she snuggled back under the blankets, pressing up against his chest and let herself slip back into sleep. She'd thank him properly in the morning, for now she was warm and dry and didn't care.
........................................................................................................................
Jian woke up with a groan, feeling wonderful. The light through the tent sides showed that it was morning now, but the rain hadn't relented, still hammering on the roof but at least the wind had died down and the lightning was over. For a moment he lay there, trying to work out what had woken him, before he was forcefully reminded by a rough feline tongue dragging itself up his cock, pulling at his sensitive barbs. He groaned again, throwing back the blankets to reveal the lithe naked form of the girl he'd rescued last night. Selene grinned up at him, "Morning, I wanted to wait until you woke up so that I could thank you for last night, you really saved me there. But with this thing poking into my back for the last 15 minutes I couldn't wait any more, so I decided it was better to wake you up now." Jian tried to reply, to tell her she didn't need to do this but she silenced him with another lick, circling his head before grinning up at him with fangs bared. "Hush now, no need to say anything. I'm not just doing this for you, sleeping next to a guy like you all night has left me with an itch that needs scratching and I was hoping to borrow your 'back scratcher' to deal with it". She didn't give him a chance to answer, dropping her head back down and taking him into her mouth properly and causing him to arch underneath her, claws tearing the mat beneath him.
Selene smiled as she worked at him, bobbing and licking to keep him as close to the edge as possible. She knew she was being mean to him but he was so easy to read. She could tell exactly when he was about to cum and was able to slow down at just the right time to prevent it, his hiss in frustration every time just driving her on, showing she was doing it right. So it came as a complete surprise to her when he sat up unexpectedly, gripped her by the waist and swing her around, pivoting her about her head until she came to rest across his face where he grabbed her by the ass and forcefully pulled her pussy onto his face.
She yowled out in pleasure as Jian forced his tongue in between her folds, using his roughness to grab at the insides of her tunnel just as she had teased his cock earlier. Now he was giving her payback though, eating her furiously until she couldn't concentrate on sucking him at all, and was left writhing and panting in his firm grip. In moments she came, with him lapping at her even as her body vibrated in his grip, not relenting even as she begged him to let her rest. He just kept on going at her as she rode out her orgasm, and then quickly drove her on to her second and third in quick succession.
But that was enough, she needed him inside her now, before she lost the ability to think and gave in to him licking her until she collapsed. Using just the tips of her claws she raked gentle along his length before her, causing him to draw breath sharply and loosen his grip enough for her to scramble free.
She spun around face to face with him, pressing her lips against his and kissing deeply, tasting herself on his lips before pulling away panting. "I need you, I need you to mount me NOW!"
Selene threw herself off him again, quickly getting on all fours before him, tail raised, sex clearly visible and waiting, before glancing back over her shoulder at him and growling invitingly.
Jian didn't need any more encouragement that that, he was still reeling mentally from how quickly this had progressed from waking up this morning to having this ravishing little cat woman almost forcing herself on him, begging to be fucked. He gave in entirely when she presented herself, letting out a low predatory growl and throwing himself at her, driving his full length inside her waiting pussy in one thrust.
Selene gasped as his spines raked down her sensitive walls, but he didn't pause to let her recover, pulling out almost entirely before shoving back in to the hilt again as roughly as before. He hammered into her over again and again, his claw scraping over her hips, adding to the scratched from last night. It was all she could do to lie there and take it, feeling him filling her over and over, each thrust and pull accompanied by the ache of his barbs as the pulled inside her.
He didn't last long though, her earlier torment leaving him near his limit even before he started. In less than a minute he was ready, leaning down to grip her shoulder in his jaws as he ploughed into her one final time before letting out a roar as he unloaded his seed into her, claiming her, marking her as his own. Feeling him pulse within her was enough to tip Selene into her final orgasm, clenching and milking his length for every drop it was worth.
Finally the collapsed together, breathing heavily and smiling at each other, him in slight embarrassment and her in contentment. He coughed, "it's a little late, but I don't think we've been properly introduced... I'm Jian". She giggled at his awkwardness, "I'm Selene dear, and I just wanted to say... thank you again for looking after me last night... and again this morning".
They lay together in silence for a while, cuddling in post coital bliss before Jian tried again with the conversation, "So... weather seems like its setting in for a few days, looks like we might be stuck here for a while unless you fancy facing that weather again?" Selene chuckled again "Well then, it looks like we'll just have to keep ourselves occupied", then added huskily "I'm sure we'll think of SOMETHING to do..." before bursting out laughing at his expression of panic. Oh, she was going to have fun with this one... She was lucky to have met him... in more ways than one.
