~~~~Pain and Gain #1 - Love and Lust~~~~
Sabine ran in an all-out sprint along the sidewalk, tears matting her face as she thought of what had just taken place. She had finally broken up with her two-year boyfriend, a red fox by the name of Chris. But what she hadn't anticipated was the rage-fuelled fight that had ensued, staining her luxurious fur dark red with blood and producing multiple bruises all over her body. And the worst thing is... I don't have anyone to go to now! The thought only made her cry harder.
"Hey Sabine! Wait up!" a voice called after her, making her stop dead as she recognized who it was. "You dropped... your necklace..." the fur wheezed as he caught up to her, holding out the intricate silver chain which had been given to Sabine by her mother. Sabine simply stared, absolutely shocked that a fur such as this was taking notice of her, let alone helping her.
Standing before her was a lean, tall wolf with fur as black as a starless midnight sky, and eyes as piercing as twin lightning bolts. His name was Nightwind, and he was one of the most admired and popular people in school.
"T-Thank you..." she stuttered, amazed at the kindness he was showing her for apparently no reason at all.
"Don't mention it," he said, "after a fight like that, you certainly don't deserve to lose something that special..." He smiled, handing her the necklace and tilting his head to look at the steel-grey watch strapped to his wrist.
"Since we only have a few minutes left of school anyways, do you mind if I walk back to your house with you?" he inquired, Sabine's eyes going wide at the thought of even more attention from this magnificent fur.
"No! Not at all!" she half-shouted, blushing slightly at her eagerness. Nightwind didn't seem to notice. In fact, he seemed almost... nervous.
"Great!" he burst out, "Lead on..." he heard a grunt, and turned around to see Sabine struggling to connect the clasp at the back of the chain." Here, let me help you..." Nightwind leaned down, fingers lightly caressing the back of her neck as he slipped the tiny ring onto its hook, perfectly linking the two ends together.
"Thanks, that stupid link drives me insane..." Sabine said, turning around to face the smiling wolf.
"Anytime... Now, shall we?" Sabine giggled slightly, starting to walk towards her house at the end of the next block.
"So what went wrong between you and Chris anyway?" Nightwind asked as they walked along.
"We..." Sabine's vivid blue eyes filled with tears as she remembered painfully the reason for their break-up, and the following fight.
"Oh Sabine..." Nightwind rushed to her side to hold her paw tightly. "I'm sorry for asking...it was a stupid thing to do, especially right after it happened!" he said, pulling away.
"No! I'm actually glad you asked; I need to talk about it to someone..." Sabine said tearfully, thinking of the magnitude of what she would soon reveal. "Why don't we go to my house first though... it's a rather long explanation."
Nightwind knew that wasn't the only reason. He knew that it would be much more comfortable for her to speak in her own home, but that was a trivial worry. The two furs walked the rest of the way in silence, thankfully meeting no one as Sabine's face was veiled by tears once again.
Finally they reached her house, and they walked in together, Nightwind trying to console her as they sat down on a comfortable couch in her living room. "Sabine, you don't have to tell me if you don't want to," Nightwind said as he held her hand, apprehensive as to what she was about to reveal to him.
"No, I have to tell someone or it'll drive me mad..." she said, sniffling a little bit as she wiped her eyes." But first, please promise you won't tell anyone what you hear," she whimpered. Nightwind smiled warmly as he promised he would never betray any of her secrets, no matter how large. "Well then, I should probably start at the beginning..."
"About a year after Chris and I met, we were both deeper in love than either of us had ever felt. We were perfectly happy, we'd never even had a fight, and we never gave a thought to breaking up. We thought that we'd be together forever..." Sabine broke down sobbing once again, Nightwind whispering words of encouragement beside her.
Once she had stopped crying, Sabine continued. "We thought that our love was unbreakable, that it would be impossible to shatter a bond such as this... and we both said so. But as you saw today, we were wrong."
"A little more than three months after the very moment we declared our inseparability, Chris... changed..." she said quietly." He wasn't himself anymore, instead of focusing on our love and spending time together, he seemed to surrender himself to lust... and one day, he acted on it."
"Barely a month ago we were both at his house watching TV, just like old times. We were occasionally laughing at some of the scenes, and one time we laughed so hard we fell over... literally." Sabine cracked a slight smile, then it disappeared as she continued her story. "But then one of Chris's flailing arms hit a button on the VCR, and it started running. And what came on... was a porn video. At that moment, I could actually see the change in Chris as he focused on the screen.... He got a hungry look in his eyes that I'll never forget." She shuddered violently at the memory.
"After we had switched the VCR off and I'd recovered somewhat from the shock, he turned to look at me with that same lustful expression... and I got scared. Then he said to me, 'Sabine, you are my first true love, and I make it my goal to give you happiness in any and every way possible. And to that end...' then he moved over on the couch and kissed me deeper and more passionately than I could ever remember."
Nightwind had been listening intently to the entire story so far, and was starting to get a very bad feeling about what was going to happen next... and those fears were confirmed as Sabine continued again, this time letting a trickle of anger enter her voice.
"He kissed me, and I thought 'I'm silly, there's nothing wrong here.' But then his paw started moving towards my jeans... and I yelled at him to get away from me. He seemed genuinely hurt by my words, saying that he just wanted to please me, but I wasn't buying any of it. I'd heard stories of others who had gotten raped...and this was always how it began..."
"As soon as he started moving towards me again I jumped off the couch and started running towards the door. He started calling after me, then he actually jumped up and ran after me! I tried to get away, but he grabbed me by the tail and threw me down on the couch..."
By this time Sabine was shaking, and Nightwind had to keep a tight grip on her paw until she could control it. Outwardly, he remained calm and collected, but inwardly, he was absolutely horrified. He'd had no idea that such an event had taken place, let alone to someone he had watched for such a long time.
With a shuddering breath, Sabine managed to pluck up the courage to speak again. "He threw me down, and I was paralyzed with fear. He started undressing... first himself, then he tried to strip me too, but I wouldn't be held. I attacked every part of his body that I could reach, and finally I was able to hit him in the groin... *that* made him let me go," she sniffled, remembering her frantic escape.
"I made another run for it, and this time I actually got out the door. I ran straight home from three miles away, crying my eyes out in full view. And when my parents asked what had happened, I made up a whole elaborate story to cover it up. So it's remained my secret... until today."
Sabine was quiet now, her story finished. Nightwind sat in shock next to her, his mind still absorbing the details of the past few minutes. Though he tried to hide it, he was crying too, but not in the way that Sabine was. He was crying in relief, relief that Sabine hadn't been hurt, and that she had gotten away from Chris before anything else had occured.
"So...why did you break up today? Why not the day after it happened?" Nightwind asked, his voice giving barely a hint of the tears he had shed.
"He came up to me the next day and apologized, and for a while I really thought he meant it. But a couple of days ago I realized I would never be able to truly forgive him, and so I broke up with him... and even though he hurt me, it was worth it. All I regret is..."
"Not having someone to live for anymore." Nightwind finished gently.
Sabine looked up at him with an expression that would've made any heart break. "How did you know...?" she asked in wonder. Nightwind just smiled. "I had a girlfriend once... but our relationship went down the drain after a year, and my heart felt like it had cracked in half. I didn't have anything to live for, or love, and it showed... in more ways than one. My grades dropped, my friends became more distant, and even my popularity dipped a bit during that period. But that all changed because of one thing."
"What?" Sabine asked, curious as to what could possibly bring back meaning to the wolf's life.
"I saw... you."
Sabine gasped, unable to believe that such a fur actually liked her. "You mean... that you actually... noticed me?" Sabine squeaked out, desperately hoping that this was real, and not some cruel, sick joke.
"Notice you? I was obsessed with you! Every moment that I so much as saw you was heaven, and when I got closer to you I felt like I might die of happiness. And now that you've broken up with Chris I can finally say what I've wanted to say for two years straight." He swallowed, nervous now that he had to confront her, nervous now that the moment had finally arrived when he could confess his true feelings.
Putting what was quite possibly his heart and soul on the line, he said the three consecutive words that are some of the most powerful and dangerous in existence.
"I love you."
If Sabine had been overwhelmed from the first few words, now she was speechless. "You... love me?" she asked in disbelief.
"With all my heart," Nightwind affirmed. "I would do anything for you, anything at all, as long as it gave you happiness. I'd pull the stars from the sky to make a fitting ring for you, and then bring down the sun for a jewel, just to please you."
Sabine's eyes shone bright with tears of happiness as Nightwind threw his arms around her in a warm and comforting embrace, and kissed her as deeply as he could manage. Finally, after almost a year of no proper love, she had a partner again.
~~~~~~~~
Nearly a month after their new love had sprouted, both of them felt utterly committed to their partner in a way that they had felt only once before. In public or not, they constantly exchanged kisses, hugs, and other gestures of affection. Sure, a few people frowned on it, but they were beyond noticing it now. They both thought that this was as good as love got... but it was about to get even better.
Now it was summer, and both lovers were together every waking moment. Whether it was going to the pool, taking walks in the park, or even doing something as simple as going to the bathroom, they never left each other's side for more than a few minutes. But one midsummer night, they would be linked in a more intimate and wonderful way than either of them could have imagined.
On that night, Nightwind had come to stay over at Sabine's house (for the fifth time in only two short weeks), and as always, was very enthusiastic about it. But this time, something would change between them.
"Nightwind!" Sabine practically flew into his arms as he was dropped off by the front of her house. "It may have been only a day... but I missed you..." Nightwind said.
"You're not the only one, I thought I'd go mad if I had to spend one more day without you..." Sabine said truthfully. Every moment that Nightwind wasn't with her seemed somehow empty, lacking in a way that she had never felt before.
As they walked inside together, talking about all the things they would do on this wonderful night, Nightwind realized something. "Where's your dad? He's usually around for sleepovers, isn't he?" Sabine grinned widely, "Usually, but not now! He's gone off to visit my aunt and uncle, and we've got the whole house to ourselves until ten o'clock tomorrow!" The sides of her muzzle curled up in a smile once again, and she hugged Nightwind even tighter than before. He returned the hug wholeheartedly, thinking of the fun they would have staying up all night playing games, listening to music, and above all just talking.
"Hah, I beat you once again!" Sabine whooped in triumph, throwing down the wireless controller in triumph as Nightwind hung his head at yet another loss. "You know, I've never met a girl who's been able to whip me five battles straight at Battlefront 2... especially on Xbox." Nightwind said as he leaned back on the couch. Sabine simply giggled. "Let's say I just had a lot of practice..." Then she let out a mighty yawn, one which Nightwind could've sworn shook the house.
"It's getting late, we should probably call it a night," Nightwind said tiredly. Sabine let out a laugh, "You just don't want to get your ass whooped any more than you already have," she giggled, throwing herself onto him as he rolled off the couch onto the carpeted floor, laughing all the way. Eventually they came to a rest against the edge of the couch, both sighing in contentment as they looked into each other's eyes.
Reluctantly, both of them got up off the floor and started up towards the two rooms they slept in. "Goodnight my beautiful vixen," Nightwind called from his bedroom. Sabine returned his goodnight before walking to her own room and falling asleep within seconds.
~~~~~~~~
"Hello? Anyone there?" Sabine called through the empty corridors. Only the whisper of the wind answered her. Suddenly, a soft groan came from behind the guest room door. "Nightwind?" She opened the door, and what she saw made her nearly collapse in horror. Nightwind was lying on the floor in quiet agony, every inch of his wolven frame cut, bruised, or broken. Sabine fell to her knees... and screamed.
"NIGHTWIND!!!" Her voice pierced the otherwise still night like an arrow, jerking Nightwind bolt upright in his bed. He sprinted to Sabine's bedroom, hearing her anguished cries of emotional torment still echoing through the house. "Sabine!" he shouted, shaking her lightly, but enough to wake her up.
"It's okay now Sabine, I'm here... it was all just a bad dream."
"A dream...?" she answered shakily, still in shock from the images she had been seeing just a moment before. "Oh Nightwind... it was horrible! You were just sitting there dying, and I couldn't do a thing about it!" she sobbed, tears running down her face in miniature rivers. "If something happened to you, I don't know how I'd go on... I live for you alone, and without you... I have nothing left."
"Oh Sabine... I can't bear to see you like this!" Nightwind said, drawing her close. "Just be with me now, everything will be alright in the morning." Sabine looked up the face of her boyfriend, and the amount of hot, burning love that she saw there nearly made her heart melt with adoration. "Nightwind... will you stay here with me, please?" she asked, fearing the answer would be no. "Of course my love... whatever you desire." he answered, and Sabine's heart overflowed with joy.
As he climbed into bed with her, she noticed a rather obvious fact that should have been visible before. "You're naked?" she giggled, thinking of what her parents might say. Nightwind blushed, his face turning a deep crimson as he realized the rather compromising situation.
"S-sorry, It's just... I usually..." Sabine put a finger over his lips, a soft smile planted across her muzzle. "It's not a problem, in fact..." she stepped out of bed, stripping her jeans and shirt off in only a few seconds, and revealing a not-quite-developed pair of firm, round breasts. Nightwind blushed even deeper, when Sabine spoke. "We're boyfriend and girlfriend, I don't think it's that big a deal being naked together, do you?"
She jumped back under the covers, snuggling up close to Nightwind and letting out a soft sigh. "I wish that all of life could be like this... nothing except being with the one you love, and no intrusions or interruptions to ruin your time together." Sabine said.
"And all the time in the world to make your lover happy..." Nightwind added.
"Oh Nightwind..." Sabine rolled over onto him, kissing him more passionately than either of them had ever felt before. For five whole minutes their muzzles were locked together in with passion indescribable, until finally and reluctantly, both broke the kiss together.
"Now that... was a kiss..." Nightwind panted. Sabine smiled dreamily, her head falling back onto the pillow as she looked into Nightwind's piercing blue eyes with joy. But very soon now, that joy would be multiplied a hundredfold.
Almost simultaneously, the two teens noticed their arousal. Though they weren't close enough to physically "feel" each other, they saw it in their partner's eyes, and felt it in the newly-formed link between them.
"Sabine...?" Nightwind said, voicing his uncertainty in that single word.
"Nightwind..." Sabine answered, putting all her love, happiness, and above all her willing acceptance into her lover's name, and then speaking it aloud for him to hear.
Tears of happiness filled both of their eyes as they embraced, and shared a kiss that, while short, was one of the most meaningful of both their lives.
Now fully aroused, Nightwind moaned in pleasure as his member, now fully free of its sheath, brushed against Sabine's soft fur, eliciting a slight giggle from her.
Soon enough, both of their bodies were entwined like pieces of string, with Nightwind draped over Sabine like a blanket. They both lay motionless for a moment, feeling each other fully for the first time. Then Nightwind spoke. "Sabine... I must ask this of you once, just to be sure. Do you truly want this?"
Sabine smiled joyfully, giving him a look that said "Are you joking?" more than any mere words ever could.
And with that, Nightwind took the initiative.
Grinding all the way in on his first thrust, Nightwind and Sabine cried out in ecstasy as their bodies were connected, truly united, for the first time.
Gradually picking up the pace, Nightwind continued his frenzied thrusts into Sabine as they both got more and more into it.
"Ahh... Nightwind... you feel... heavenly..." Sabine gasped.
"And the same to you... my love..." Nightwind shot back with a smile.
Neither Sabine nor Nightwind could believe the volumes of pleasure they were experiencing. The sweet friction of Nightwind's wolfmeat against Sabine's insides was driving them both wild, causing them to reach even greater speeds in their lovemaking.
Though neither of them had any experience at all in this field, the sheer amount of love and their passion-fuelled speed was all they needed to please one another. And though they would have better experiences in the future, both lovers would remember this first time forever.
"Sabine... ahh... you must be... a natural at this..." Nightwind moaned between thrusts, his stiff wolfhood penetrating Sabine's moist slit over and over again.
"It's just luck... though I have to admit... you feel perfect in me..." she returned, feeling the truth of her words as Nightwind pounded into her.
At the exact same moment, both of them realized that they had another thing coming. "Nightwind... I feel something..." Sabine screamed through the pleasure, Nightwind nodding in agreement at her words.
As they both neared their respective climaxes, Nightwind thrust harder than any time that night. As a result, both lovers moaned in pleasure as his not-fully-developed knot slipped into Sabine's damp slit, meeting almost no resistance as it locked itself there.
That was the final stimulation that they needed to send them both over the edge into climax.
Together, both lovers cried out in unparalleled ecstasy as their first ever, mind-numbingly powerful orgasms racked their bodies.
Surrendering themselves to the incredible pleasure, both of them flopped down on the bed, completely and utterly spent.
Still connected by Nightwind's knot and basking in the wonderful afterglow, wolf and vixen lay together knowing now more than ever that they would spend not months, not years, not even decades with their lover. Instead, they would share their lifetimes, and everything thereafter.
