#1 of Kamira and Rikka's Lives


Strike!

This is a story about Kamira the black and white husky (myself) and Rikka Hyou, a white and black spotted snow leopard.

The events are based (on varying degrees from near perfect re-telling to pure fiction) on events from both Kamira and Rikka's real lives.

The content of this story is mature...very mature, and things get a little aggressive towards the end as Kamira learns the depth of Rikka's desire to have the control placed firmly in the husky's paws.

The usual warnings about M/M content apply, and keep in mind this is only my 2nd ever story I have written, any and all comments are appreciated.

It had been a bright sunday afternoon when the two had met, the day had progressed slowly and calmly with a small group of mutual friends.

The husky was sat on the floor comfortably, rubbing his tummy from over eating from the BBQ his friend had prepared for them. Glancing around at the other guests, most of which were sat on the grass near him, but there was the lone snow leopard who was sat on a folding chair, his grey fur shiny and clean under his shorts and t-shirt.

As the evening drew to a close the group retired back indoors, a few of the guests left and Kamira and Rikka were left in the lounge together while their host cleaned the grill.

"I'm Kamira by the way" the husky says with a smile.

"Rikka, Rikka Hyou, nice to meet you" he responded as the two shook paws.

The two sat and chatted for a while until Rikka had to leave, it turned out that the leopard had to get home to get ready for college the next day.

With a sigh the husky sat back and his mind wandered, the leopard had been very nice, and he was sure that he had made a new friend that day, the two had exchanged phone numbers and email addresses, so he was confident that they would be in touch.

A couple of days later Kamira was sat at home and was on the computer, trawling through the mountains of junk email. "oh great...just what I need, a stronger, more impressive sheath.....Delete!" he rolls his eyes and keeps reading down the page before his messenger application piped up. "Rikka...oooh!" he said quietly to himself and brought up the message, it was a simple greeting but it made the husky smile as he quickly typed out a response.

Within minutes the husky was in full swing, focusing only on the messages from his new friend, the flirting was blatant and unashamed, with puns and innuendos flying left right and centre. The husky smiled as he typed messages to the cutey on the other end of the screen, glancing every now and then at his avatar icon with a grin, Rikka had a picture of himself set, something which the husky approved of as it gave him something to imagine on the other side of the chat window.

The snow leopard shifted himself slightly as he perched on the side of his bed, typing away on his laptop to the husky, he blushed a slight shade deeper as he read the incoming question.

Kamira: So...how old are you then cutie?

"merf...I can't answer that can I?" Rikka asked himself, he knew the canine was older than himself, but he wasn't sure how he'd take it.

Rikka~: I'm 17...and I'm not cute! How many times must I try to explain that to you?! :p

He sat on the bed and watched, waiting for the response to come through from his newly found friend.

Kamira: Awww so young! I wonder how experienced you are...?

Rikka~: Wh..what do you mean experienced?

Kamira: In life dear

Rikka~: Oh...I thought you meant...like...sex...and stuff...

Kamira: Well, now that you bring it up :D

Rikka~: I've..had a girlfriend or two, and a boyfriend...but never really done much with either.

Kamira: Ohhh an innocent lil kitty then?

Kamira: Well sweet kitty, I'm 23 and I have only recently had a proper "male relationship" if you will.

Rikka~: Oh? Tell me more!

Kamira: Mmmm not much to tell...this husky and his good friend were feeling a little horny is all, especially after all that BBQ'd meat.

Rikka~: You mean?! After we met that day!!

Kamira: Mmhmm...that very night...

Rikka~: Ohh I wish I had stayed now! >.<

Kamira: Hmmm? Why's that then sweetie?

Rikka couldn't stop himself from blushing and feeling more than a little aroused. The husky was so open and free about his sexuality, almost the opposite to himself, in truth the leopard had seen that the husky and the host had been getting a little close and had to excuse himself due to his terrible shyness, something that seemed to not affect him so much online.

Rikka~: Maybe I'd have liked to join in?

Rikka waited for a few minutes, but the husky didn't say anything back "maybe...that was too much?" he asked himself out loud.

Kamira: What'd you say to us getting together at some point? Just as friends, I mean, we seem to get on really well...

Rikka~: Well, there is no denying that...

Kamira: So, how about this Sunday then? I'm not doing anything, are you?

Rikka~: I..don't think so......no, I should be free in the afternoon.

Kamira: There! It is settled then, what should we do?

Rikka~: Well there is a bowling alley near here, along with a restaurant and a cinema, perhaps we could go bowling? That is a nice friendly thing to do.

Kamira sat there for a moment and pondered the options, bowling was indeed fun, even though he sucked at it, the cinema was a tempting idea, what with it being dark and all....The husky's dirty mind working overtime on that one.

Kamira: Sounds great to me! Perhaps we could do all three?

Rikka~: Let's see how things go eh?

Kamira: Well that's that then!

The conversation went on for little while longer as the two swapped addresses and such like so that finding one another in the future would be easier and so that the husky had somewhere to drive to a couple of days later.

**Sunday**

Kamira was sat at his desk as usual, playing around on the internet, trying to keep himself occupied, the excitement of meeting up with the cute leopard causing the seconds to tick by agonisingly slowly, even the speed at which the computer was running seemed to have slowed to a crawl.

His mobile phone chimes loudly and within half a second it was in his paw. Another message from Rikka, it must have been the twentieth that morning already, it seemed that he was just finishing getting himself ready and it was time for the husky to get ready to go.

A couple of moments later and the husky was out of the door, his tail swaying happily as he walked to the car, not knowing what the afternoon might hold for him and his new friend.

Half an hour later and Kamira pulls up near to Rikka's house, a short phone call later and he sees the leopard walking to the car in the wing mirror.

"Good afternoon!" Kamira says brightly as the door is opened and a rucksack is tossed into the back of the car.

"Heya husky!" Rikka said cheerfully, sitting in the car, careful not to sit on his own tail

Kamira couldn't help but lean over and give the leopard a good long sniff along the neck, his nose pressing gently against the soft grey fur. He could smell the conditioner that the fastidiously clean feline had used not too long ago, but beneath that, his canine nose picked out the real scent that he had been looking for, the essence of his new friend, that delicious musky male scent that made Kamira's ears twitch happily.

"H..hey! Not so close!" the leopard giggled softly and moved away a little, a slight blush showing on his smiling face.

"Ohh shh you...you like it really" Kamira laughed as he started the car

"Well...yeah...but there are people here that might see me...and they don't know..."

"That you're gay?" Kamira finished Rikka's sentence for him.

"I'm not gay! I'm Bi....massive difference!" the leopard laughed and stuck his tongue out at the husky.

"Mmmm....we'll see about that" Kamira says quietly to himself as they pull away and head towards the leisure center.

A short drive later and the pair arrive and find a parking space, away from the main bulk of the cars already there. Kamria looked over and grinned at his friend.

"What you looking at?" Rikka asks shyly

"You...now...what we going to do? Bowling or food first?"

"Hmmm, you decide..." Rikka answers and looks away a little.

"Like having your decisions made for you eh? Mmm, well, lets have some fun first" Kamira reaches over and pats the feline's leg with a smile before opening his door and sliding out, Rikka following shortly after.

The bowling alley was pretty busy today, but the pair found an empty lane easily and played a couple of games. The two getting increasingly closer to each other throughout the game, initially it started off just a little pat on the shoulder when the ball found the gutter instead of the pins, until by the end of the second game Rikka had wrapped his arms around Kamira's shoulders in celebration of a strike.

"Wh..wait a sec!" Kamira gasped as he was embraced by Rikka

"What's wrong? I'm just celebrating your strike!" Rikka giggled

Kamira stared into the deep purple eyes of his friend, the colours of their eyes matched almost exactly, something that kept on surprising Kamira.

"I thought you were afraid of someone seeing you getting close to another guy?"

"Mehh....who cares" Rikka squeezed his arms around the husky a bit tighter and sniffed at his neck before releasing him and moving to get the ball for his turn.

Kamira smiled and went to sit down, his eyes following the cat's rear as he positioned himself to throw the ball down the lane, he could have sworn that Rikka was deliberately sticking his rear out a little to show off.

Shortly after, the game was over and it was one game to Rikka and one game to Kamira.

"So what are we going to do now?" Asks Rikka, his face down turned in mock sadness at being beaten by 40 points.

"Lets go grab a bite to eat eh? I'm starting to get a little hungry" Kamira says, his tail wagging slightly behind him.

"That sounds good, where are we going to eat?" Rikka asks as they walked up to the desk to say they were leaving.

Once outside the two started walking around the area, skipping over the fast food restaurant, and heading towards the nearest real eatery

Once inside they were quickly seated, and their food ordered.

The conversation was innocent and light hearted for the most part, however things too a bit of a turn when Kamira touched his legs against one of Rikka's and squeezed, causing the younger feline to jump and squeak in surprise.

"Whaaat?" Kamira asks with a sly smile before sticking his tongue out

"Y...your legs...." Rikka replies quietly

Kamira squeezed them together again "What about them?"

"M...meerrf..." Rikka replies, blushing deeply and reaching down with a paw to try to free his leg, however all he found was Kamira's paw which quickly wrapped around his and started stroking his wrist. Kamira could feel Rikka shaking nervously, and looked into his eyes reassuringly. His gaze was broken by the server coming along with their food, Kamira's nose drawing his eyes reluctantly down to the large steak burger on his plate.

"L...lets eat..." Rikka says as he watches the husky opposite him eyeing up the plate of food as if the meat was still alive and likely to run away if his gaze left it, he gently extricated his paw from the strong huskies' and picked up his knife and fork, and digging into the meatball sub he had ordered.

The meal ended swifly, the husky was hungrier than he had let on, and he spent the remainder of the time watching the cat eat carefully, being sure to not get any sauce on his fur.

"Is that good hun?" Kamira asks softly, smiling.

"mmhmm..." Rikka responds with a mouth full "Though, I'm pretty full..."

"Well, lets get this paid for and find something else to do..it is only 9pm..."

"What..do you suggest? We can't really go back to my place...my mum is there and she...doesn't know...." Rikka says blushingly

"There is a cinema just next door...perhaps we should see a film?" The husky says innocently, though his mind was most certainly on things of a more intimate nature, something he made a little obvious by running his footpaw along the side of Rikka's leg.

"hhh....mmm...y..yeah..." Rikka says, shyly, fighting with himself as to if he should move his leg or not, The snow leopard was attracted to the husky certainly, but he was unsure if it was right to do anything with the older, more experienced canine.

"Well lets go then!" Kamira decides happily for the pair.

A quick payment to the restaurant and a short walk later the two were in the lobby of the cinema, the film was due to start soon so they ran through the crowd, paw in paw, more just for fun than anything else.

Finding their seats, about half way down the theatre length and on an empty aisle they sat, glancing at each other in the twilight. Kamira's paw once again found his new friend's and they sat and watched the adverts at the start of the film.

Rikka already felt himself becoming a little excited at being so intimate with the husky, he was big and strong and significantly older than he was, and he felt like he might have found someone who could really take control of him as he had wanted for so long.

The film started, it was an action film, only recently released, the 4th film in the series about killer humanoid robots trying to exterminate furkind, and the resistance that fought them.

About half way through the movie, Kamira leaned over and rested his head against the leopard's shoulder, once again breathing deeply the scent of his friend, he moved his paw and rested it against his chest, feeling the feline heartbeat increase in pace slightly, though whether due to his actions or the movie, he couldn't tell.

Rikka blushed and shivered as he felt the husky cuddle a little closer to him, moving a paw of his own to cover the huskies' he could feel himself getting unusually excited, he couldn't quite understand why he was feeling aroused just by having the husky so close to him, but the smell from the canine's fur was intoxicating and he figured it must be the adult scent and the confidence of the husky that was getting him excited.

Kamira's ear twitched and he sniffed deeply, a new smell reaching his sensitive nose, something he recognised as the scent of growing excitement, with a smirk he started gently stroking the leopard's chest with his paw, gently pressing his claws into the material of his shirt. He slowly turned his head so his nose was pressed into his neck, breathing slowly, trying to not show how excited yet nervous he was feeling. He poked his tongue out and started gently licking at the feline's neck, tasting the oils of Rikka's fur, a low growl issuing from his throat.

Rikka had his eyes closed by this point, his mouth open a little as he took pleasure from the tongue and nose on his neck, the paw on his chest had descended down onto his stomach and was moving slowly lower, towards his crotch, his manhood was already hard, and had been since they had first touched paws in the restaurant, he lifted his paw away from the huskie's and rested it on Kamira's thigh, his mind was reeling from the thrill and his focus completely upon his friend, the movie forgotten.

Kamira growled softly as he dragged his paw further down the leopard's body, his mouth opening slightly as he made a gentle nip at the feline's neck, the yelp of pleasure from Rikka's mouth was loud enough to draw stares from the other cinema goers, causing Kamira to laugh loudly and sit back in his chair for fear of drawing too much attention, though he left his paw where it was, unwilling to let the opportunity that the darkened theatre afforded him.

The pair look back up at the screen, watching a particularly action packed scene where a giant robot wrecks a fuel station as the main characters drive away at high speed, fur blowing in the wind as a massive explosion rocked the scenery. After a heated exchange of gunfire, Kamira used the noise to slip his paw un-noticed down onto Rikka's crotch, it wasn't until a few minutes later when he squeezed his paw around the feline's still hard manhood that Rikka noticed where the paw was.

"Uhh....K..Kamira..." Rikka whispered

"Hmm?" responded Kamira as he squeezed and massaged the pulsing member through the leopard's jeans

"W..we...are in public...." Rikka warned

"So? I want to touch you..." Kamira says a bit louder than a whisper the sound of authority in his voice as he slid his paw up under the shirt of his friend and then down under the waistband of Rikka's jeans and straight into his underpants, gripping the throbbing feline penis in his paw tightly with a growl.

Rikka sat with his eyes open wide in shock that the husky, someone he had only met a short while ago had essentially take him out on a date, without him even knowing it, and was now sat beside him in a crowded cinema theatre with his paw in his underpants, teasing and squeezing him.

After a few minutes of teasing his friend Kamira moved his other paw down to join the first, on the outside of his jeans though, he placed a claw on the zipper and started to pull it down, Rikka squirmed and whined but didn't offer any real resistance. Once the zip was down Kamira shifted his paws to slide one in through the open zip, and opening the buttons on the front of his underpants. With a quick movement and a little shifting of position Kamira grinned and growled as Rikka's cock emerges from his jeans, out into the open.

Rikka begs quietly "Kamira...no...don't...not here...."

With a deep growl Kamira lent over and said "Shhhh you....I want to..."

Kamira continued to stroke the cock in his paw with an increasingly tight grip until the throbbing started to become so strong that he feared his friend may cum all over his shirt, so he reluctantly stopped and lifted his paw to Rikka's face, turning him so they were nose to nose.

Rikka was panting hard, his gaze into the huskies' eyes was soft and blissful as he was slowly coming down from almost reaching his peak, he felt a pressure on the back of his neck as Kamira pulled his head in close for a kiss, it started off slowly, just their lips touching, before things started to become more heated, the kiss turned into a set of gentle, almost caring kisses, before Kamira started things further by opening his mouth a little and giving Rikka's lips a lick, when he didn't respond immediately, Kamira pressed his tongue a little more forcefully into the leopard's mouth. Their tongues intertwined and their passions raised, the finale of the film played out ignored on the screen by the pair of furs who were far more interested in each other than any part of the massive blockbuster film.

As the lights came up the two quickly separated and Rikka tidied himself up, quickly doing up his zipper so as not to be seen, though as people started to file out of the theatre, those who had been sat in front of them shot nasty looks as they passed, having obviously heard or seen things they didn't want to. The theatre quickly emptied out and the two were left alone, they took the chance to have a close and tight hug, both males excitement still showing to each other through the closeness of their embrace.

After a short while they leave the theatre and start walking back towards the car, Kamira turns to face Rikka just before they turn the corner by the side of the theatre, gripping his paw to stop him from walking on, he pulls the leopard close and stares into his eyes.

"I'm really starting to like you y'know...." Kamira said quietly "I think I might be keeping you...."

"K..keeping me?" Rikka said, his eyes showing a little fear "What do you mean?"

"I mean, keeping you around, keeping you close, keeping you mine...." Kamira said in a low growl

Rikka tried to hide a smile at the thought of being kept close to the husky. "Keeping me yours...you mean...like you owning me?"

"Yes, I suppose that is right..." Kamira said with a smile as he glanced around, checking to see if there was anyone nearby before he gripped Rikka's paw tightly and walked him over to the car, opening it up he sits in the drivers seat as Rikka climbs into the passenger's seat.

The two sit and exchange a smile, there was an awkward silence between them for a few moments until Kamira broke the silence by placing his paw back on Rikka's thigh and saying "I suppose I should be taking you back home or something eh?"

"I prefer the 'or something' part." Rikka said looking out of the window

Kamira followed the feline's gaze out the window "Not many people around here....maybe I should test my kitty's abilities to do as he is told, if I were to keep him as my own, I need to know he will do what I tell him to..."

Rikka giggled and nodded "What would my master ask of me?"

"Oooh...I like the sound of that.....Master....Master Kamira....has a nice ring to it..." the husky grinned "Well....as my kitty had so much fun in the theatre, it is only right I get my turn for fun..." he says as he undid his belt and started to pull his jeans down exposing his already unsheathed cock, it throbbed softly and stood proud from his body.

"So what does my master want me to do with....that...?" Rikka asks nervously his paw shaking slightly as he reached out to touch it

"No no....not your paw....use your mouth....Pet..." Kamira said quietly, placing a paw on the back of Rikka's head and pulling him down to his crotch, glancing out of the windows to ensure no one was watching them, the car was parked out in the middle of the car park, but the place was almost empty save for a couple of cars parked nearby.

Rikka blushed deeply as he was pulled down, the large canine penis throbbing a meer inch away from his mouth, he took a shallow sniff, the musky smell of the older dog filled his nose and overwhelmed his senses, he felt a little light headed as he was pushed closer, his mind swimming in pleasure at being told what to do by this large husky and having no real way of fighting him off if he had any disagreement.

Opening his mouth slightly, Rikka extended his tongue a short ways, gently lapping at the tip, the husky tasted of both dried and fresh precum from their earlier fun and the excitement of present. A shiver of pleasure washed over Kamira as he felt the snow leopard lick his cock gently across the tip, the dog leant back into his seat a little further, pushing the leopard a little harder onto him "Come on pet....open your mouth and take me in..." he whispers quietly, but with a atone of command to his voice.

Rikka obeyed and opened his mouth wider, placing his tongue at the bottom of his master's tip before slowly moving his mouth down, taking the large dog into his maw, gently sucking, his tongue rubbing gently on the underside of the shaft.

Kamira groaned softly, his paw gripping the feline's thick headfur as he pushed up with his hips, forcing more of his shaft into his pet's mouth, he stared down and watched how the snow leopard focused intently upon providing his master with the greatest pleasure possible. The husky moved his paw to pull Rikka off of his throbbing manhood, looking into his deep purple eyes he smiled and growled softly "mmm such a good boy...making me hard and wet like that...now how about you lay back and your master does something for you?".

Rikka nodded and blushed deeply, not knowing what the canine had in mind for him, but he obeyed and leant back into his seat comfortably, his eyes half closed as he relaxed, feeling the husky's paws on his jeans, undoing them once again, this time moving to pull them off completely. His jeans were soon at the bottom of the footwell of the car, the young feline's top soon joined them as he sat naked in the car, in the fading daylight they were still plainly visible to anyone who happened to pass by.

With a growl the older canine clambered over the centre console of the car and sat on the snow leopard's lap, leaning his neck down to sniff at his pet's neck, pressing his nose into the soft clean fur, he takes a sniff before growling and biting into the feline's throat, his teeth pressing with enough force to leave marks on the flesh and really show the leopard who was in control, but not quite hard enough to pierce the skin.

The snow leopard gasped loudly as the husky bit into his throat, the feeling of utter powerlessness, the feeling that the canine literally held his life in his mouth was...exhilarating, it was a thrill he had never thought to have existed, the sheer dominance that the older male was exuding, it was intoxicating. If the feline's cock hadn't been hard before, it most certainly was now.

Kamira shifted, his paws holding Rikka down on the chair, planting small but sharp bites along his neck, shoulders and ears before returning to his throat if he tried to wriggle away. Rikka's mouth was hanging open in pleasure at being dominated so fully. The skin beneath Rikka's fur was getting rapidly more red from repeated biting and the fur upon his stomach getting wetter from the pre leaking from the husky's cock.

Rikka gasped out a few words "I...I want to please...you...M..Master..."

Kamira didn't answer with words, he just gripped Rikka's right wrist firmly in his paw and pushed it down to his shaft, leaving the feline to rub him, his paw moving back up to the grey fur'd shoulder to support his weight as he sat on him.

Rikka couldn't stop himself blushing, he didn't notice his paw slowly stroking the husky's hard member, all he could feel was the canine's body pressing against him, his sharp teeth pressing into his neck and shoulders and his own heart beating rapidly in his chest. They were sat out in the open, in a car that wasn't alone in a parking lot of a busy public attraction, they could be seen at any moment by anyone, the feline, normally quite shy about such things pushed the thought to the back of his mind and focused on the pleasure of the situation.

Kamira growled into the neck of his new friend, breathing his scent in deeply with each inhale, he slowly lifted himself off the snow leopard, his cock throbbing, Rikka looked down at his paw and seemed almost shocked to find his paw soaked with pre. Moving as gracefully as possible within the close confines of the car, Kamira moves back to the driver's seat and looks over at Rikka "I want you to use your muzzle..." he says quietly, with a blush, but still with that same tone of authority in his voice.

Rikka looked at the husky, slightly shocked, he wanted to please the canine, he really did. "But...what is someone sees us..? I mean, it is ok for you, you don't live around this area..."

The snow leopard's protests were met only by a slightly angry growl as Kamira reached over and gripped the back of Rikka's head "Come now cutie...no one will see...." he smiled and gently encouraged him to lower his head.

The younger feline couldn't fight back even if he had wanted to, and that only added to his thrill from the situation, he smiled as he sniffed the large manhood that was in front of his mouth, slowly extending his tongue to lick up the length of the shaft with his rough tongue, causing the husky to moan out in pleasure immediately. Quickly adjusting his positioning, Rikka lifted his head to take the tip of the husky's cock into his mouth, gently sucking on the tip and coaxing yet more pre out, the thick liquid tasting delicious.

Kamira leant back in the seat and rested a paw on the back of Rikka's head, pressing gently to try to get him to take more of him into his mouth, moaning loudly as Rikka relented, opening his mouth a little wider and taking the first couple of inches into his maw. "oh yes Rikka....that is...urhhh....so..." Kamira moaned quietly.

Rikka stroked his tongue gently along the underside of the husky's shaft as he sucked down on more and more of his length, opening his eye a slight bit he could see how the knot was forming rapidly at the base.

Starting to pant a little hard, Kamira glanced up from watching Rikka pleasure him, and he quickly placed both his paws on the snow leopard's head, holding him down, causing Rikka to gag on the cock. "Shh...there is someone out there..." Kamira whispered, "Stay down.." he smiled a bit as he felt Rikka struggle a bit with his length, his manhood twitching and leaking yet more pre, he knew he was close, and the thrill of potentially being caught only heightening his pleasure.

Rikka moved his paws to the husky's thighs and tried to lift himself off the shaft, having trouble stoping himself from choking, when the pressure finally lifted off of his head he quickly came up for air, coughing a little "h..have they gone?" he asked quietly, looking up at the husky, his paw gripping the shaft and rubbing it energetically. "Yes dear...they have..." Kamira smiled, "Now get back down there.." he said with a wide grin and closed his eyes once again as he felt the warmth and wetness engulf his shaft once again.

Within moments the husky was panting in pleasure again, he could feel that he was only moments away from reaching his peak, he instinctively started gently thrusting his hips upwards as Rikka sucked enthusiastically.

Laying his ears back against his head, Kamira gave one last thrust up into the beautiful feline's mouth before he howled in pleasure as the first spray of his cum coated the back of Rikka's mouth. His orgasm lasted for what felt like minutes, his howl of ecstasy slowly decending to a growl of deep pleasure.

Rikka kept his mouth closed firmly around the shaft, just above the knot, his paw gripping the knot tightly as he struggled to swallow all of the husky's plentiful cum, the taste was delicious, and he dutifully gulped down every drop that entered his mouth.

Slowly lifting himself up from the husky's lap, he looked up, his neck sore and his jaw aching, he smiled happily, "I...mmm..that was...delicious...Kamira...".

Kamira had his head laid back against the headrest of the chair, he slowly looked at the snow leopard and smiled widely, reaching over with a paw to stroke at the feline's face.

A few hours later, Kamira had dropped Rikka off back at home and had driven himself back to his own home, once online he sees that Rikka was online also, he sent him a simple message:

Kamira: I guess you could call our first date a Strike!
