Chapter 14: A Dragon by Any Other Name
They stood there, surrounded by the dead. Cold marble tombstones watched their movements.
"Dad" Diego flinched. "What happened?" The husky looked into the wind.
"Fine, come here." He lead the around the graveyard, knowing instinctively where they were headed. The trio stopped before a marble block. Its fine smooth surface bearing the words: "Seth Felmar. Son, Artist, Friend."
"Be careful son; be careful what you wish for.......
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Diego turned toward the clock and sighed. 20 minutes till the end of senior year. At the front of the room a shark droned on in his monotone as the class passed out from boredom.
Seth's tail curled up the husky's leg and inched into Diego's jeans. The canine looked over to the grinning dragon with a look of worry but Seth kept his smile on and passed the dog a note.
(Chill babe, we're are the back of the class. And don't tell me you're not hard I've been staring at your zipper hold back a beast all period)
Diego wasn't exactly out per se, and the idea of a tail job during economics uneased him. But the damn good job that dragon's tail was doing evaporated it.
Diego looked away and tried to think of something else but Seth sat next to him. And his tail was curled around the dog's leaking member, jacking it slowly in typical Seth-fun style.
The professor coughed and momentarily forgot what he was talking about, then remembered and launched into a long winded explanation of the stock market.
Hidden behind students, desk and sleeping furs, Seth reached under Diego's desk and rubbed the dog's belly. Diego bit his tongue to keep from howling. Anytime was sex time with Seth. And normally Diego didn't care but here in public he could feel his blood chill. Seth watched the canine's terrified face and felt guilt prick his heart. He pulled his sticky tail out and stopped rubbing the warm dog thighs he was groping. Smiling he picked up the dog's paw and kissed it.
He passed Diego another note.
(My house tonite. 8?)
Diego passed a note back.
(Sure. I'll be wearing that shirt you like)
Seth's heart jumped as Diego winked at him. The dragon tried not to but the anticipation started making him horny.
The bell rang and everyone was gone in a flash.
>>>>>>>>>>>>
Tobias looked at his dad. "You guys always go at it during school?"
"Not usually. Mostly I went over to his house. His parents knew and didn't fucking care. As long as we cleaned up our mess and didn't make too much noise."
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Diego walked down the street. The air had cooled slightly and a breeze ruffled the husky's fur. He wore the same jeans but had on a different shirt. This one was a dark red mesh. Every one of Diego's yummy muscles bulged out of the tight material and Seth the loved rubbing and sucking on the husky's chest through the shirt.
Seth opened the door before Diego could ring and he pulled the husky inside and into a kiss.
"Glad you could make it puppy."
"Mmm. Hope you didn't start without me babe."
"Never." Seth took the dog's paw and led him down the stairs to the basement. Or as it was known: Seth's Floor. It had taken almost 8 years but the dragon had converted the basement into a teen sex paradise. There was a closet full of toys and tapes. Lube and condoms of every flavor imaginable. And the bed. Seth had worked his ass off at two jobs to buy it but it was worth it. The loft of it was amazing and it felt like sleeping on a cloud.
Seth kissed Diego again.
"Tonight is ours love. Next year is college Doctor Caneth." Diego blushed, he was studying medicine but he wasn't a doc yet. "And who knows what will happen."
The dragon parted and lifted a wrapped package from behind the dresser.
"Seth, you didn't have to."
"But I did anyway." The dragon passed the gift over and Diego felt his face burn in embarrassment. With his dad recently laid off and his mom trying to cover household expenses, Diego had put all his money into a college fund. He had wanted to buy Seth something, anything, but knew he couldn't afford to.
"Babe? You alright?"
"I can't accept this Seth. It's not right." The husky tried to hand the gift back but Seth refused.
"It's yours Diego. Open it up."
The husky did so and instantly regretted it. A leather jacket. A leather jacket from Terragon's, one of the most expensive clothing designers ever. Tears welled up and Seth embraced the husky.
"Shh. It's alright babe, don't cry."
Diego turned away and pushed the jacket into Seth's arms.
"I can't. I just... can't."
Seth put the coat down over a chair and wrapped his arms around Diego's midsection. He nuzzled the dog and licked his ears. "Diego, please don't cry. I know you hate accepting gifts but please reconsider this one. I love you. I wanted to make you happy."
Guilt stung Diego harder. He turned around to face the dragon. "S-sorry Seth. All I can give you is my heart."
The dragon kissed his mate on the neck. "That's enough for me Diego, that's enough for me."
He pulled the canine into a hug but lost his balance. He fell down onto the bed and smiled up at Diego.
"Care to join me puppy?" Seth's long metallic tail curled up Diego's leg sensuously.
"S-sure." Diego undid his belt and Seth murred as the dog stripped. Slow and easy in a good strip tease. The dragon's wandering tail slithered up and rubbed Diego's furry rump.
"Mmm. Lookin' good babe. Gym's been good to you."
Diego blushed. After seeing how his father had let himself go the husky had sworn to work out as much as possible. Not easy when he was a student 5 days a week and worked 7.
Seth licked his lips as Diego removed his boxers. The husky's pale white belly fur descended down to his crotch and balls. The orbs hung there below the ivory sheath and Seth flicked them causally with his tail.
"Come here" the dragon purred, "You need to take that shirt off." The husky climbed onto the bed as Seth whipped off his own shirt. The vague light of the lava lamps around the room reflected off the bronze scales and Diego rubbed the dense muscles of his lover's chest.
Seth ran a claw over the curved abs of his mate and squeezed gently. The soft fur and skin covered only muscle. Seth ran his paw up over Diego's stomach and savored the feel of his body. Not a single cell of fat anywhere.
Diego murred and kissed Seth on the nose. "Keep going babe, feels good!" Seth chuckled and licked the husky's snout.
"Anything for my puppy cuddles." Seth ran his paw over the dog's chest and tweaked a nipple. He rubbed the pecs for only a moment before running his tongue over Diego's chest. "Mmm, you taste good puppy. But" Seth slipped a finger under the shirt and lifted it "I bet you taste even better." Diego yipped in surprise but Seth kept on licking the husky's belly anyway.
Diego slipped a paw into the back of the dragon's sweat pants and smiled. No underwear. Diego sucked a digit before returning it to his lover's ass. The dragon was busy sucking on the canine's abs as Diego pushed his paw up against Seth's tail hole.
The dragon moaned as he held a mouthful of fur. "Doggie, please keep going." Diego smiled and reached over the bed to the nightstand. He picked up a bottle of lube and a condom.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>
"Speaking of which, Tobias..."
The wolf and tiger started turning red.
"Dad-
"I expect I raised you to be smart-
"But-
"No buts, and that tiger isn't getting near yours unless you two have got protection. Got it?"
"Fine, whatever."
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Diego ripped open the little packet and pulled out the latex sheath. Seth preferred bareback but he never argued, safety first. Diego applied the rubber and Seth squeezed out a generous amount of lube onto the shaft.
The cold gel tickled Diego but Seth started a strong hand job and the dog's cock warmed up quickly. Murring, Diego lifted Seth onto him and the dragon straddled the husky.
"Mmm, ready doggie?"
"Do it!"
Seth lowered himself slowly onto Diego, the husky held his glistening organ up as Seth pushed.
"Mmph. It's... soooo... big!" The dragon took a deep breath and shut his eyes, focusing on keeping his waist relaxed and trying to move with the canine.
Diego grunted and forced his husky hood up and the tight bronze ring gave way. He entered with a juicy slurp as a warm line of lube slid down his twitching member. Seth groaned in ecstasy as the dog pumped him. The dragon's claws raked his lover's shoulders but Diego was consumed by primal forces.
The dog's tongue lolled as Seth rode him and the air warmed with the smell of animal musk and sweat. The dragon licked the canine's muzzle and tightened his hold as he felt his balls numb and rise.
"Ohh D... I'm gonna..." The dog pulled his mate down for long kiss. The dragon's long pink tongue ran across the husky's and writhed in the dog's mouth. Diego sucked on his lover's slippery tongue, trying to not giggle as it tickled his maw.
The stiff canine meat rubbed up against the dragon's prostate and Seth squeaked. "Got you draggie." Seth grinned and shook as Diego thrusted hard again and hit the love spot dead on.
Seth let out a sharp growl as he came with full force. The white fluid splattered over the husky's mottled chest fur, mingling with the black and white softness. Seth ran a paw across Diego's pectorals, the delicious feel of Diego's tense muscles covered in jizz sending shocks up the dragon's arm.
The canine started murring louder but Seth climbed off. Diego gave a confused whine and Seth pulled the condom off with a swift flick. He grabbed the husky hood in one paw and the swollen testicles in another while he shoved the meat up into his jaws.
Seth gagged as Diego barked and the dog's thigh's flexed. Bobbing his head up and down Seth eagerly slurped and panted, pushing his love over the edge.
Diego bit his tongue and howled, fresh cum showered like a fountain as Seth lapped it up voraciously. Gasping for breath Diego lay there, savoring the afterglow.
Seth shifted his torso up and hugged the dig. They kissed and Diego smiled as Seth shared a taste of his seed with him.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
"He was perfect. But, but there were problems." Diego looked toward the sky, pale grey clouds condensed and a chilling breeze permeated the cemetery.
"What did-
"He loved me, but sometimes he couldn't help himself, he loved the thrill of danger........
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Diego stared in horror.
Seth's parents were out for the weekend and the husky had planned on spending time with his dragon, instead he was screaming and frantically shaking his lover.
"Seth! Holy shit, Seth!" The dragon was on his bed looking comatose. A used needle, a spoon, a lighter, and a small baggy of something else sat on the table.
"Fuck, Seth are you... Fuck it, I'm calling the hospital." The husky turned but Seth coughed and opened his eyes. Diego looked back at Seth as the dragon smiled.
"Baaaaaabe. Ch-chill. Oh god its fun."
"What?"
"I know, it hurts at first but seriously, it's better than sex." The dragon offered the needle to Diego and the husky froze.
"No."
"Huh?"
"No Seth, no, no, no." Diego slapped the dragon's paw away and the needle fell to the carpet discarded.
"Babe? What you yellin' for? Just once, try it, you'll love it I s-swear."
"No! You, you can't. This shit will fuck you up Seth." The craving stung Seth and he fumbled on the bed trying to get up.
Diego was at the phone in a heartbeat calling an ambulance.
>>>>>>>>>>>>
"When did he start Dad?"
"No idea Tobias, doesn't matter. I loved him too much to watch him fill his veins with shit. He went to rehab and everything and I thought it was fine. But he never forgot his heroin days. I shouldn't have been so blind....
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Diego scrambled as he put his shirt on. Seth sat in bed looking forlorn and abandoned.
"Babe are you sure you have to go?"
"Sorry Seth, I really don't want to go but this is an important evening dissection. It's 30% of my final grade." The dragon looked heartbroken.
"What's happening to us?"
"What?" Diego looked back confused. Seth started at the wall.
"Your major, you're always at lectures and medical shit. I never see you."
"Seth, babe that's not true! I try but I need to score well so I can get into a good med school, you know that." Seth still stared at the wall, a tear threatened to leak out.
Diego picked up his jacket and started for the door. Seth leaped off the bed and pulled his mate into a hug.
"I love you Diego."
"I love you too" Diego said quickly, he didn't even look at Seth and the husky was out the door in a second.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
"Heroin fucked Seth up, maybe his body was fine, but mentally, Seth became clingy and nervous. He was still a damn good sculptor but he got depressed if he was separated from me for long times. I should have skipped that fucking dissection.......
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
The clock tower on campus tolled out midnight and Diego cursed in the darkness. His medical I.D. card was missing and he hadn't realized it until he got to the surgical hall. The security guard at the door had refused him entry but fortunately the professor who was leading the dissection had shown up on the husky's tail. He recognized Diego, the dog was one of the smartest students in his class, and had vouched for the husky. Grudgingly the guard let him pass.
Now it was the middle of the fucking night the canine was tired. He smelled like embalming fluid and he wanted a shower and a good ass pumping from Seth.
He got to his dorm room and stopped. On the door was a sealed envelope. Opening it, his I.D. card fell out. Inside was a short note written in Seth's sloppy slanted block print.
(Diego, I love you. Sorry about your I.D. card. Everything I am and have is for you)
The husky's heart went into over drive. He jammed the key into the locked and threw the door open. Vaulting into the room he saw him.
Seth was lying on the floor curled up. Next to him was a needle and five bottles of morphine. Five empty bottles. Diego couldn't stop the tears. He screamed and grabbed Seth's shoulders. He felt for a pulse trying to ignore his medical training. He knew the truth but refused to accept it.
CPR. Diego tried, he tried, he tried. A passing guard was checking on the dorms to make everyone was safe. He heard Diego's cries and ran to the room. He called an EMT from his walkie talkie.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
"They took him to the Stone Pier medical center. Same place we took you Tobias. Difference is.......
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Diego sat in the chair trying to mop up the tears. Seth had been declared dead as soon as the doctors here got to him. The dragon's parents had shown up and Seth's dad was on a rampage. He blamed everything on Diego and the tortured husky tried to disappear into his seat. It was Hell sitting in the hospital surrounded by police and doctors.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
"Seth planned it. He planned for everything......
>>>>>>>>>>>>>
The dragon had left a will, being over legal age he had rights to his percentage of the family funds. The only complication was that the money was gone. Seth had withdrawn the money and it had vanished. Millions of Felmar dollars had gone up in smoke and Seth's dad was not going to let that go. In Seth's will he left everything to Diego. Including a small plastic box with a chocolate bar in it.
Perplexed as hell the lawyers gave the chocolate to Diego but the Felmar's weren't through. They threw lawsuits everywhere and the company they had been severed from reacted the same.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
"Seth planned it Tobias. He hid his money before he poisoned himself."
"He left you the money in a chocolate bar?"
"Chocolate, SWISS chocolate. The town in Switzerland that manufactured the candy also had a huge bank. I contacted them and tried to access any accounts Seth might have had. He left one but I needed a password."
"Oh! Without wax!"
"Yeah, that was our thing, without wax. His fortune was sitting there but I left it and came back here. I only used it when I had to."
"What about med school?"
"I couldn't do it. Every time I opened one of the books I only saw Seth in the cross section diagrams. I became too painful to go to class. I considered killing myself, and I tried. Norma caught me though. She lived one room directly below us."
"You knew Mom in college?"
"Yeah, she, Seth, me, and some other students had a little drinking group. And if I catch you, pup, with alcohol at your age I'm going to skin you alive, you hear? She made me go see a psychiatrist and at a therapy session I wrote a poem about Seth. My doctor thought it was great and advised me to change my major to English. The rest is history."
"So Dad, are you, you know, my dad?"
Diego looked away. "It, it was not planned. On Seth's birthday, a few years after he killed himself, Norma invited me over for champagne. We we're going to celebrate Seth, and remember the good times. It broke my heart toasting without him and we kept drinking another glass. I don't remember much.......
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
The growling, the panting. Animal mating. Sweat and male fluids.
Diego's head hurt like a bitch. He moaned and rubbed it, the sun poured in through the window and stung his eyes. Where the hell was he?
Norma shuffled as she curled up close to the husky and Diego froze. (No, no, motherfucker no!) The female wolf/husky and he were together. Naked. In bed. With Diego still inside Norma.
>>>>>>>>>>>
"We decided to keep the pups. Twins, your older sisters. Seth and I were denied a family so I would help Norma raise our pups. One of our drinking friends, a German Shepherd, she worked at town hall and helped us get fake marriage records. I got a job as an English professor and we raised your sisters. A few years later we decided to have another. We had a son and named him Raymond, after my therapist who helped keep me sane."
"And me?"
Diego smiled weakly back. "We decided to have one more after Ray. I knew what to name the child. Tobias. It was Seth's middle name."
Tobias sat there, his arms and legs went numb. "Y-you....
"We named you after Seth, you're the perfect sculpture he left for the world."
>>>>>>>>>>>>
Diego left a few days later for Nevada for a convention and Tobias returned to school. Senior year proceeded flawlessly.
As June heralded the end of school Mort and Tobias enjoyed the summer as much as possible. Come fall they would both be attending the Colorado University of Fur, but for now they had each other.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
The bus rolled to a stop. The middle June smiled down and Justin smiled up as he scanned the street. "Back in Stone Pier. Now I wonder where my kitty and wolfie went.....
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Well fuck, Justin is back that can't be good. >.> What is that fucker doing out of jail? Now we know Seth's story, glad that's out of the way. Hey, where did I put Blake? He still has to make one more appearance next chapter Hehehe this is fun!
