Xi wasn't sure why he was here but he was more than sure he was out of his element. Walking down the dark stairway the wolf-fox hybrid found himself immersed in the sights and scents of many creatures perfumed over the building. The folf looked around and blinked in amazement at all the males in the building and soon found himself blushing across the muzzle as the odor of sweaty musk wafted over his cold black nostrils. The heady smell of testosterone worked like a drug on Xi's mind lowering his previous inhibitions about entering this unknown territory. Finding confidence spurned on by his animal curiosity Xi walked over to the bar which was being wiped cleaned by a tall black jaguar male wearing a ivory colored vest with a point going down in between his pectoral down toward his groin hidden under the counter.
Getting up and grabbing a wooden stool the folf waved the barkeep over with a clawed talon and ordered himself a glass of milk.
"Hmm, you must have seen your fair share of combat." The feline offered as he put his cleaning rag down and fixed the order for his customer.
"Why would you say that, sir?" Xi made sure to be polite as he got his drink and sniffed over the mug before downing it.
"Not many men ask for milk in a bar. Usually it's all the wanna-be adventurers ordering the tough stuff to give them that little bit of courage so they can go out and make fools of themselves. Sad really." The jaguar replied sagely. Too many times he had seen youth wasted on trying to puff themselves up to being more than they were by living from a bottle.
"Hmm, well I just prefer it over the hard stuff. Want to live a long time after all." Xi joked before finishing his drink and then setting the mug back on the counter and pushing the container towards the other male.
"Hehe, that's nice to hear; too many rushing off to die in this day. Another?" The feline watched as the folf nodded and then grabbed up the glass to pour more milk.
Xi watched the bartender's movements before turning his head just so that his peripheral was able to capture details of those around him. All in all the little establishment wasn't anything at all to write home about. It honestly felt like one of those old bar/inns that you would have found back in medieval times. The feel was very rustic with the polished wood floors and walls. The air was bathed in an intoxicating scent of burning herbs and male sweat. Music was playing smoothly from the surround sound speaks nestled in the wall. And overall the current company was pleasing to the senses.
All around him males of different species mixed and mingled together forming a collage of bodies and tones. There didn't seem to be any kind of established order inside of the room as men of all backgrounds sat together talking, laughing, drinking and mingling. A few faces Xi was sure he had seen on wanted posters in town before but since no one was making a fuss he didn't see a reason to show concerns over the fact. Instead the same men who had their faces plastered on paper with bounties of various amounts plastered underneath them flaunted themselves out into the open as if they weren't hunted men.
Odd but never minding that fact the folf let his eyes drift around and watched as various tables established different feelings about themselves as some of the more tipsier males seemed to let themselves go and lean closer to their companions that Xi thought would have been normal, and he was huggy folf himself. Those who carried the burden of their compatriots on their shoulders just eased the weight to a more comfortable position and let the others do as they pleased.
The eyes of those men who were watching were calm however. There was no disdain of need for masculine show of chauvinism by voicing thoughts on such actions. Instead those who noticed seemed to point and chuckle to themselves as if the funniest thing on earth were happening. The more drunken of their group either rubbed their re stained muzzles into the shoulders of their buddies or simply wave the smiling and leering faces off with a shaky paw. By then Xi began to figure out what kind of place he was in and then nod to himself as he took a deeper sniff of the incensed air.
A tailraisers bar.
Not that he was upset over the fact. He actually was one himself but he didn't think that such places really existed. He had heard the rumors and the stories and even some of the urban legends...about the place...Tails Underground or something. Some place in some kingdom that secretly served male who preferred the company of other males exclusively. Supposedly it was illegal in some countries but right here and right now Xi found himself immersed in the pleasurable company of these men who liked the same things he liked...in bed partners anyway.
Curiosity go the better of him and Xi found himself gazing out to see if he could find anyone doing anything rather naughty inside of the small area. So far everyone was keeping things above the table line. No one looked as if they were being touched in any intimate ways but you never knew.
Just what did that smile from the scarred face black wolf mean as he turned towards his brown haired and demur companion to grin so brightly at him?
Did the tiger with the Mohawk laugh like that all the time while putting a paw over his face and one on his naked stomach as his blue haired friend spoke to him with a silly grin on his intoxicated face?
The muscular Doberman with the black strapped on t-shirt, was he laughing and licking the lion he was sitting with on the muzzle just because they were friends or because the feline had said words best left commented in the bedroom alone into his cropped ear?
What did it actually mean for the large green drake with the bandana on his head to lean down and flick his tongue into the ear of the smaller red drake with the blue baseball cap?
All of these little signals and indications made Xi wonder just how much he knew about anything as he saw various instances of males boasting their own abilities and attributes off for their companions in displays of enticement. There was no way he could be mistaken about the body posturing and tones filtering into his ears as he listened and watched in fascination as one of the most natural acts in the world took place right in front of him.
Males did court other males.
That was a fact and right here and right now Xi was in a nexus of such goings on and he found himself aroused to the point that he began to shift tensely into his seat while trying to keep his head on straight. What would it be like to go over and introduce himself and join in on a random conversation?
The folf chuckled at that thought.
It really truly a relaxing place to be honestly...and it was that fact that made the fur on Xi's back raise up in apprehension. His dark crimson fur was puffed up making his backside seem larger than his front side was while the folf's legs twitched as they hung in front of him. His toeclaws lightly tapped at the underside of the bar while his paws curled themselves into fists before unfurling hesitantly.
Something was wrong. Maybe not with the patrons or the establishment but something was very wrong. An unknown source of tension was in the air making Xi's fangs clench in worry. He was hoping that he was off base about such suspicions but...he usually never was.
"Are you alright?" a voice said startling the folf and making his ears perk to the top of his head in attention while a bright and chipper smile pealed around his fox's muzzle.
"Y-yes. Thanks." Xi bowed his head sharply before taking his second drink for the night downing it leisurely.
"You seem high-strung." The jaguar offered letting the young one open up if he wanted. He actually liked this one and wasn't just trying to drum up tips for the evening.
"Everything's fine. Thank you. Uhm do you know a Mr. Zerimus?" Xi asked as he finished his milk.
In an instant the jaguar's entire disposition changed. His paws squeezed onto the rag he was holding like a life line although his face seemed to remain the same outwardly the light in his golden colored eyes darkened turning fearful.
"Mr. Zerimus? He owns the place. Why are you asking?" Nothing was betrayed in the feline's voice as he kept himself steady and his head on straight.
Xi reached into his satchel on his side and pulled out a small card. The jaguar's eyes nearly popped out of his skull as he saw the piece of paper but he remained calm and collected.
"Someone gave me this and told me to come here and ask for a Mr. Zerimus. Is everything alright?" Xi turned the former inquiry back onto the barkeeper as his nose caught the scent of fear oozing out from the feline's pours and the subtle hike in breathing.
The jaguar took the card and read the inscription on the front before handing it back to the folf and then putting down his rag to walk out from around the counter. Moving over to an innocent looking door the feline reached into his pocket and pulled out a silver key. Sticking it into the keyhole and turning the lock the jaguar looked over to the folf and nodded his head towards the other. Xi stood up from his seat and walked over not exactly sure if he liked what was going on.
"Mr. Zerimus is in the back room on the left. Make sure you knock before going in and mind your tongue. It'll save your life." The barkeep muttered under his breath before pushing the door open and waving the other in. Xi's eyes never once met the jaguar's as he stepped into the darkly lit hallway and then turned to look back at the feline.
"Thanks for the milk." Xi said as he took one step into the gloom and then disappeared.
"You were a good customer. Come back soon." The jaguar asked/prayed/wished all together before closing the door with a quiet thump sounding all too much like a coffin door being closed before stepping away and then rubbing his eyes and returning to his position.
Stepping through the lantern lit pathway Xi kept a sharp eye out as he noticed all of the doors passing by his field of vision. His nose was rampantly snuffling the air and the folf more than once caught the scent of copper and medicines filling the air past few of those wood barriers. That never meant anything good outside of an apothecary's domicile or a hospital. Xi felt his back tense as he instinctually knew that the night was about to turn into a bitter affair. Flexing his claws the folf got to the last door on the left and then raised his paw up to knock three times.
"Come in." A voice on the other side called. Reaching for the knob and turning it Xi was entranced by a sharp light piercing his eyes as he looked covered his face and looked from his arms shadow to see into the room.
"Forgive me for the dramatics in gaining your visit but I didn't think of any other good way to get you to come." A plush leather chair was turned away from the door as Xi entered the room.
"Please...I mean you no harm. Close the door and step forward." The person asked as he, it was a definite male voice though that was all Xi could tell from the figures back being turned from him. Doing as he had been asked the folf turned to shut the door and then step forward. In front of him was a finely polished mahogany desk with various paper weights, papers, and other ensembles scattered around. The room itself was fairly big with high walls, a Persian rug underneath Xi's bare feet, a few bookcases filled to the brim, and the air filled with the same smoke that was in the bar.
"You are quite the suspicious one, though I can understand. This does seem a tad odd, no?" The person said making Xi feel like he was playing a game of cat and mouse.
"Why don't you turn around so I can see you, Mr. Zerimus?" Xi asked as politely as he could making sure to keep his manners in the other person's playing field...for now.
"I prefer not to. I never like showing my face to others. I'm shy like that." Zerimus said with a giggle.
"R-right. So what do I owe the honor of you drawing me out here this evening?" Xi asked while folding his arms around his chest and tapping a foot to the fuzzy carpeting.
"I called you out here because sources tell me you are someone who is going places in the world and I wanted you to let me help you go to those places."
"I'm confused. What do you want exactly?"
"Honestly I want you to work for me."
"Work you? As what?"
"My personal...shall we say attaché? Zerimus giggled again making Xi's hackles raise. That morbid feeling he was having...it was getting worse now.
"Excuse me? I'm no one's errand boy." Xi found himself growling as he felt like he was being played for a fool.
"You misunderstand and I don't blame you. To put it simply I want you to be the person I call to handle...situations of great stress to myself. If you get my meaning?"
Now Xi was pissed...because he got the meaning alright.
"I'm no assassin!"
"But you are a pretty powerful lycanthrope am I correct?" Zerimus asked.
"H-how did you...?"
"Even walls have ears and the trees have eyes. There's no possible way to keep a secret in this world. Not with the right connections and money."
Xi felt his teeth clench together tight enough to give him a headache as a growl of warning bubbled from the depths of his chest.
"Who the hell do you think you are?!" Xi raised his voice higher than he would have normally but this was no normal situation.
"I take it you won't be accepting my offer?"
"I don't even know what you offer is but I wouldn't take it if my life depended on it!" It was then that Xi realized he may have made a critical error in wording as the air around him seemed to chill and frost over.
"Oh it's not your life that's depending on it but nonetheless I guess we'll do things that hard way." Zerimus snapped his fingers and the floor below Xi opened up dropping the folf down into darkness.
"Good help is truly so hard to find these days."
Down below Xi felt on a hard stone floor thankfully the drop wasn't long enough to cause his leg bones to shatter but the fall did make him wobble as he tried to stand up. Righting himself and looking around the folf soon found himself in a room straight out of a nightmare. Covered from head to toe the room was draped in the furs of other people. Chains and hooks lay against the walls while red stains were splashed all around. The scent of old death made Xi kneel over and wretch as he coughed up the milk that hadn't gone through his system completely.
When the folf finally got a hold of himself he grunted and wiped the back of his muzzle off with his paw before standing tall and looking up from where he could see the hole he had dropped from. He thought he could climb it if he shifted but a whip cracking into his back canceled that line of thinking. Turning his head Xi was treated to another snap of leather against his body as someone in the darkness smacked him against the snout with the same instrument of pain. Dodging out of the way proved to be useless as someone grabbed him the neck and punched him in the back of the head. Stumbling forward Xi growled and flexed his claws before another kiss by the same whip greeted his lower leg making his knee give out from the fire racing through his veins.
"Come out and fight cowards!" Xi roared as he tried to see who was attacking him but instead finding himself infuriated that he was being hurt without provocation.
It was then that Xi realized what was going on.
They were trying to provoke him.
Anger made him shift uncontrollably when mixed with pain and fear.
But if he shifted...
"Stop it! Stop it!" The whip caressed his back and neck through his fur as Xi felt his torturers pushing more effort into their sadistic taunting. The whips didn't hurt his body as much as they did hi psyche. His kindness and jovial nature were being twisted and warped into a phantom of his true feelings as more and more pain was inflicted upon him meaninglessly.
"Make it stop! Stop it! You don't know what I'll do to you if you don't!" Xi yelled as he felt his control slipping away from every shallow spike of agony ripped into his backside and front.
"Yes, I'm afraid that they do. These men have no souls. They're just walking vessels made for me to do my bidding. You may rip them apart if it makes you feel better since I can get more." Zerimus said as he looked down over from the trap door. The faint light from the bottom of the room was enough for him to see the happenings bellow but not vice versa for Xi.
"Y-you...d-don't...k-know..." Xi tried to say through teeth soaked with blood as he bit through his lip into his muzzle.
"Yes I do. It's the reason why I asked you here tonight...though had you agreed to help me this would not have been necessary today. However, fortune favors the patient so please tear them apart so we can move onto the leashing part of your training next." Zerimus said as if he were writing off things on his to do list while watching.
Xi growled and cried out for mercy that wouldn't come before a deafening howl broke free from his muzzle followed by the wet sounds of claws tearing into flesh and bone.
All the while as the rampaging werewolf consummated his vengeance out on his torturers never did a scream pass the lips of the men.
Not when their arms were torn from their sockets.
Nor when their legs were cut out from under them.
Not even when fangs tore into their throats cutting the life from their bodies dulling their emotionless eyes into black orbs of nothingness.
Zerimus sighed as he watched what should have been horror to any normal person without so much as a batted eye. Pulling back and snapping his fingers the trap door shut and another door opened in the room bellow letting the feral Xi out into a long hallway.
The game of cat and mouse was still being played...it was just now that the mouse had just gotten eight hundred pounds bigger as well as meaner.
Meanwhile, Hibuki Crossbone, lifeguard and all around ace crime fighter was on the case upstairs in the bar asking questions to a rather defensive looking jaguar.
"Have you or haven't you seem him?" The golden retriever was trying his best to stay cool but he knew that something was up as he watched the feline's eyes twitch as try every which way not to look at him directly.
"I-I told you that I don't know! Now please stop hounding me!" The jaguar rubbed the mug in between his paws so long that without trying he accidently broke off a piece of the rim cutting himself in the process.
"Here." Hib took a Band-Aid from his carrying pouch and then grabbed the black feline's paw using the same rag he had been cleaning with to wipe the blood seeping from the barkeep's paw and then bandage the cut. Nodding at a job well done Hib looked into the golden eyes of the other and then went back to his questioning.
"Look I know he came in here and didn't leave. If I have to I'll ask those nice authority guys over there some questions and then we can really get this party started. You know how those guys can be when they get drunk and on a justice call. Do you really want to go through that tonight, in this nice and very clean and undamaged establishment of yours?" Pointing over to the drunken authorities the feline shook his head not sure what he should do. The golden lifeguard pulled his olive tinted shades down from the bridge of his nose and looked at the jaguar intently.
The feline looked hard pressed clutching his hand and feeling the pain in his paw he wondered and then sighed looking at the Band-Aid wrapped around his finger then back up to Hib.
The barkeeper pulled out the silver key he had used before and placed it on the counter in front of the lifeguard.
"Door to the right over there. There's a hallway that leads into the back but you don't want to go in there. No one who does comes out the same way they went in."
"You let me worry about that. Now then I think you better close the bar up early tonight," Hibuki offered as he tipped his waist up letting the feline see the semi-auto strapped to his waist. "It's gonna be a long night tonight." The retriever implied as he picked up the key and then walked to the door.
As he inserted the key and turned then handle the jaguar was fulfilling his suggestion and closing down the bar for the night. Patrons grumbled but obliged the feline as they hefted up their drunken or slightly drunken companions and walked out of the building. The jaguar watched each of them leave just before he turned his head to see the door to the sight quietly shut close behind a long and furry yellow tail.
Hibuki grunted as he took off his shades and pocketed them while walking down the dark hallway. Getting to the first door to his right the retriever grabbed his auto and cocked it before throwing open the doorway and then gasping at what he saw. Lowering his weapon the lifeguard went over and checked but he knew as soon as he got close that it was too late.
The prone form on the bed had already passed away. Reaching out to close the sightless eyes Hib promised himself he would get the sick asshole behind this. Walking back out after closing the door the retriever opened every door along the hallway and checked every room he could find. Some of the doors that stood unmoving in his way found a strong boot acquiescing to Hibuki's proclamation for entrance.
There were times when Hib hated being the one to have to fight the injustices of the world and as he went through all of the doors he knew that this would be one of those times that he would remember for the rest of his days. So many eyes had to be closed on this night and so much justice had to be dispensed. It wasn't right or fair but life in this world rarely was for the underdog.
When Hibuki finally got to the last door on the left he kicked it open with all of the force of his raging heart and point his gun into the room with eyes burning with justified vehemence.
Empty.
A turned leather seat showed no one in the room but instead an open trapped door leading downwards with a rope tied to a stake was centered in front of the lifeguard. Not sure what to think Hibuki called out for someone to answer him,
"Anyone down there?" His voice echoed into the darkness but the retriever couldn't see anything. Instead the subtle tang of copper and death made his eyes burn forcing Hib to back up a step and cover his nose.
Shaking his head the retriever holstered his gun and then walked over to tug on the rope before he climbed down into darkness. Setting foot into the room below the lifeguard turned his head to let his mind come to grips with the horror of such brutality before him. It looked like an animal ripped through the place. There was just so much red everywhere...could a body really produce such quantities, Hib thought to himself while noticing the streaks of red leading out through another passage way.
"I'm not Nancy Drew but this seems suspicious." Hibuki chuckled morbidly at his own joke before compulsion made him draw his gun and follow after the crimson trail.
Unknowingly walking into danger Fate must smile on fools as Hibuki found himself entering a large forested area leading out of the tunnel some fifteen minutes later. The red trail had stopped just as the trees began to cloud his vision. Not sure what it meant Hibuki took a step forward and then another until he was slowly moving into the tree line.
"Hey, if anyone's out there I'm here to help. You don't have to be afraid...just let me know you're there. I can help." The retriever called out as best he could without shouting. His hope were that whoever was on the other side of those trees was someone needing help and not some kind of psychopath who had done that to those men back in that room.
What he got was both his wish and fear at the same time.
A red stained muzzle with lips draw back over crimson covered fangs poked around one of the large oaks making Hibuki point his gun up and up until he was standing before something he couldn't believe. Five feet plus higher than his own six and a half feet was a monster. There was just no pleasant way to say it. The creature looked like a wolf on steroids but it was too...perfect to be so. Hibuki found himself shaking his head as he got his mind right and pointing his quivering gun at the beast. The large wolf stepped out from behind the tree sheltering it fully to stand in sight of the golden retriever showing off the matted form of its blood soaked fur and paws. Keeping his cool Hib watched the other under the half moon light overhead and the sprinkle of stars twinkling down on them both.
Breathes coming out in harsh pants Hibuki kept his gun trained on the wolf as his tail found its way between his legs when the beast took a step forward.
"Look buddy...I don't want to hurt you but if you're looking to start something I've got several clips here waiting to express my feelings if you want to do this."
The wolf growled making the forest around it rumble as it took another step forward. Hibuki pulled his finger back on the trigger easily letting his eyes get a clear shot at the thing he was about to fill with lead before the wolf took another step and then just dropped to the ground. The force of its body hitting the earth made the lifeguard rise up and then down into place before Hibuki released the pressure from the trigger and then carefully walked over to the wolf. Kneeling down the retriever listened to the whimpering groans of the beast as he put a steady golden paw onto the creature's neck and then waited.
A dull pulse throbbed against Hibuki's finger making him sigh contently as atleast he one, didn't have to kill the thing and two, the monster was still alive to begin with. Maybe if he could radio in for backup he could get some of those authority guys out here so that they could give him a hand. No way was he going to try and heft this eleven foot tall critter anywhere.
"How'd you get so big anyway?" Hibuki asked the passed out wolf before jumping back and watching as the figure began to collapse and shrink right in front of his eyes. Hib gasped as he kept a firm hand on his gun just in case this night got any weirder.
When the eleven foot wolf settled at a height of six foot three inches Hibuki knelt back down and then raised the wolf's muzzle and snout up to take a look at him.
"Hey, you're kinda cute." Hibuki said as he checked the other over for injuries. Finding none the lifeguard decided that maybe he could do something about the six foot tall naked wolf and save the questions for later.
"Yes sir..."
"I understand..."
"No sir..."
"Yes..."
"Yes..."
"Alright...goodbye..."
Xi let his senses return to him slowly as he blinked awake and then lifted himself up from where he was resting. Very comfortably his mind supplied before he shooed that thought away. Now was no time for pleasure...he had to get rid of this headache first.
"Oh hey! Don't try and get up yet. You went through a lot yesterday." Someone said making Xi turn his head to see a chipper looking golden dog fill his vision. The canine in question had a cellphone in one paw and a steaming up in another. Offering the cup to the wolf Xi gratefully took it and then sniffed before drinking the warm liquid.
When he was finished he offered the cup back to the golden one and then yawned.
"Excuse me...but who are you and where am I?" Xi asked as he realized that wherever he was he really liked the scenery.
All around him was a beautiful aurora of white being filled up with the warm glow of sunlight coming in from the window. The bed he was on was covered in a thin blanket smelling heavily of musk, sea water and sweat making the folf blush as he felt his morning arousal take notice as well.
"My names Hibuki Crossbone and you're at my house on the beach." The retriever supplied information as he took back the cup and then went over into the kitchen to set it into the sink. Coming back with two trays filled with food Hib sat himself down onto the bed and then set out the plates and finally the utensils.
"Uhm...thank you. How did I get here?" Xi asked never minding the rumble coming from his stomach. There were more important things than a warm meal and ogling some hunky canine's naked body, save the thong with the first aid sign on the front, after first waking up ...wait a minute...what sounds wrong with this?
"Aren't you hungry?" Hib asked as he noticed his guest not eating. He was sure he didn't burn anything this time. Popping a piece of a waffle into his muzzle and chewing on it...he was sure he didn't burn them this time!
"Oh...yes I am...thank you." Xi grabbed his knife and fork and then began to dig into the meal.
Waffles, bacon, sausage, eggs, and toast.
Just the meal a growing folf like him needed. Eating with renewed gusto Xi polished off his food before Hibuki could begin on his eggs and then sighed after patting down his full belly. He always needed the extra calories after shifting like he had last...night...last night...when he...
Xi fought to hold his stomach together as his mind replayed last night's images in his head like a black and white movie reel.
"Oh my god...I ripped those guys apart." Xi said outloud forgetting that he was in the presence of someone else.
"It's okay. The coroners said that they weren't alive to begin with so don't feel too bad after what they put you through." Hibuki said around a mouthful of toast covered with eggs.
"How...what...?" The folf seemed confused as he turned his head to look back up at Hibuki watching as the bulge in the golden canine's throat flowed down into his stomach. Xi felt himself flush and squirm at the sight as he needs were starting to protest for attention.
"The guys who were beating on you last night were on some new kinda hypno-drug that literally turns them into zombies. You had all the right to defend yourself...even if that meant you had to kill them." Hibuki finished the last of his breakfast and then took both the wolf and his tray up and then went to the sink to wash them before coming back with two glasses of orange juice.
"Thank you again." Xi drank his juice and then sighed as he looked out of the window and sniffed the salty air coming in from the sea.
"Hey don't feel bad. I know it might not be right of me to say on how you should or shouldn't feel but...still...let me offer you some companionship right now if it'll make you feel better." Hib supplied after he finished his drink and then set the glass down by the nightstand.
Xi murmured in understanding but he was still shaken up. Losing control like that. Killing people indiscriminately. Zoning out. It was a bit much to handle.
Warm arms draped around his shoulders making the folf turn his head to look and see Hibuki smiling at him.
"If you feel like it you can stay here...with me until you feel better..." Hib leaned forward into Xi's personal space before licking him on the ears. "And yes I am trying to come on to you but not because you're some easy lay but because I like you. You've got a real fire about you that is attractive to me. You are the kinda guy that'll survive. So I want you to rest here and then maybe...I don't know...become friends with me..." the retriever flushed as he found himself telling all kinds of truths about his personal feelings like some kind love sick mutt but he realized that he didn't mind...not if it made the wolf in his arms feel better...
"T-thanks. Wow. This feels awkward." Xi said with a blush and a smile. His green eyes shimmering like emeralds in the morning light.
A soft breeze played over Hibuki's fur making him chuckle. "Yeah, I know what you mean. There's something about you that makes me feel really free for some reason."
"I have that effect on people." The folf said as he leaned back into Hibuki's arms and then sighed again.
The golden canine situated himself better so that he was side by side next to Xi before leaning closer to him and licking his snout. His warm and wet tongue soothed some of the tension that was unknowingly hidden in the folf's back.
"Hey, by the way..."
Xi turned and looked at the lifeguard in question.
"What's your name?"
"You let a perfect stranger into your house, let eat your food, sleep in your bed, and lick on the face and you don't even know their name?" Xi asked incredulously.
Hibuki scratched the back of his head and then wagged his tail before smirking sheepishly.
"Uh...yeah!" He said totally unashamed.
Xi stared at the retriever for a good minute before his lips quivered and a laugh broke free from his face. The laughter that echoed from his muzzle rang like a bell clear out into the empty beach where the rising sun was beginning to back the land.
"My name is Xi Hunter Wolff, but you can call me Xi."
"And you can call me Hib. Can I ask you another question?"
Xi smiled and nodded at Hib.
"May I kiss you?" Hibuki asked seriously making Xi blush and then lower his head before smiling and nodding.
The golden retriever reached his paw up under the lowered head of the wolf and then lifted it before pressing his soft golden lips into equally soft black ones.
Hibuki grunted and groaned into the soft kiss as he let his tongue open allowing it to push through the tender lips belonging to Xi. The taste of the other male was arousing to the lifeguard as he licked all around and over the inside of Xi's mouth tasting and imprinting said tastes to his memory. Xi felt his breath being stolen away as his tongue rove over and inside Hibuki's muzzle in turn. The kiss was deep as well as passionate as the two shared a tender moment together in bliss.
Pulling back Hib let their tongues flick over one another's before their individual organs returned to their rightful muzzles. Both males were panting hard as they tried to still their beating hearts into a more even rhythm. Looking at one another it was too great a temptation to resist reaching out to feel one another's body even as Hibuki was already stealing soft touches with his arm across Xi's shoulders. Reaching out with his other hand the lifeguard let his claws work their way over and across the dense fur of the wolf's front. In appreciation Xi let his own paws come out to run over Hib's strong chest and torso. Years of swimming had made the retriever's body a hard washboard of fur and muscle but the folf could tell that the other did work out to get such definition into his arms on down to his thighs.
With Xi still half hidden under the sheets he was more aware of the contours of Hibuki's body than the other was. Greedily he let his black gloved paws touch and memorize every inch of the retriever's lower form touching those strong claves and long legs down to the soft pads of the lifeguard's feet. The innocent touches made Hib chuckle as his soles were especially sensitive from all of his time in the sea. Xi liked the sound of the retriever's laughter and wanted to hear more as he let his clawtips dance over the black pads. Wiggling feet turned into shuffling footfalls as Hibuki found himself at the mercy of a bright eyes wolf.
Gasping pants signaled a call for order as Hib looked at his bed companion and then growl playfully before nipping the other on the shoulder for his actions. The wolf yipped and snapped his ears up in a show of playful jovialness as he grabbed the retriever by the arms and twirled them both around so that Xi was on top of Hib. The folf growled and placed his jaws around one of the lifeguard's shoulders in a display of dominance before pulling his jaws away and licking his lips. When he looked down and their eyes met Xi felt himself blush and lower his ears as he knew what was to come next.
"Xi...will you..." A firm finger placed itself over Hib's lips silencing him as the wolf nodded and smiled sensuously before reaching his paw down and then slicing a claw through the thong the retriever was wearing. The material snapped off and away revealing a hard erection outwardly filling an equally thick golden sheath. Nestled beneath them were two full balls holding potent canine seed within their depths. Musk and sea air wafted along the room making Xi murr happily as he reached down and spread his buttocks while rubbing the puckered hole in between over the pulsing head of Hib's maleness. A thick dollop of pre welled up coating the tightly clenched orifice making Xi groan and then slowly set himself down onto Hibuki.
The lifeguard grunted as he was sure that this would hurt the wolf but as he growled in pleasure his senses noted every aspect of the other watching for the telltale sign that he should stop Xi and use lubrication for their intimate actions but lo, the wolf seemed to feel no pain or discomfort as he set himself down further and further onto the leaking tip of his cock. Hib fought himself as he clenched his toes and hands to keep from arching upwards and spearing the other. The tight, wet heat engulfing him was maddening as the retriever's mind supplied all of the ways he could take the other in the throes of ecstasy. His own jade eyes watched the wolf's sweat soaked face dampen as Xi took his length further and deeper in one go all the way until the red furred lap met his own golden yellow. Their testicles pressed together as Xi settled himself fully and then lean down to lick the other onto the nose.
Hib smiled up at his new lover as the wolf let his body adjust to the filling organ inside of his hidden tunnel until he was finally ready to pull himself up. Slowly, the same as when he was seating himself, Xi rose up with a gasping and shuddering breath as he felt his inner muscles clench around the wanted invader. Up and up further until Xi had fully removed himself off of Hibuki's erection. The wolf kept a good balance on his knees as he let his tailhole slowly close and then clench as he looked down at his lifeguard's face.
Hibuki looked into twin green eyes before looking down to see his cock slick with pre shimmering in the morning light. Looking back into his lover's face Hib nodded his head and then reached out to grasp Xi's hips before pulling the wolf back down onto himself. Pleasure was like the mixing of fire and ice as Hibuki and Xi's blood heated beneath their veins while their individual erogenous zones spiked with euphoric rapture the likes never felt before. Xi felt perfect as he seated himself over Hib's groin. The lithe wolf nestled to well into the hard plains of the retriever's form that when their two bodies met it felt like lightning striking between them.
Over and over they kept a shallow pace between them. Neither one wanting to quicken and end the majestic feelings that they both shared but ultimately the pace did quicken. Hibuki taking control as the dominant male as he gripped harder the wolf's hips harder and began to create a faster pace between them. Both feelings their sacs slapping against one another's igniting even greater joy as they drove forward towards bliss. Xi lifted his head up when his prostate was slammed by Hib's hard length making him bark and then yip as he lost himself to educated reasoning and linguists instead taking the voice of his ancestors as he reached out and dug his paws into his mate's shoulders holding on as the pace quickened even further.
Hibuki was driving his length faster and faster into Xi without end. The lifeguard having trained for years to know how to move his body in all the right positions to maximize his strokes now used that knowledge to make his lover howl out for him. His pleasure and Xi's were one as the retriever felt himself growing closer and closer to the brink. His tail swung by his side slapping at the bed like the beat of a drum or in this case his own thrumming heart. He felt the hard prink of claws onto his shoulders where Xi's paws were gripping him just enough to make him wince in painful rapture. Sparks danced behind his jade eyes as he looked to see heaven in the face of the wolf above him.
Sound, light, pleasure and pain synchronized themselves in a maelstrom of sensations as HIb thrust himself up hard and deeper into Xi's tailhole. The two males growing closer to the edge and yet not finding it until Hib threw Xi's arms from around his shoulders and leaned up to kiss his wolf lover on the lips striking deep into Xi's prostate with one firm thrust. In that instant as their bodies met both above and below the two became one.
Xi pulled himself back as his forgotten cock surged up with its throbbing and swollen knot shooting up thick streams of seed into the air and onto Hibuki's neck. The golden retriever barked and growled as only as dog could as he too came but instead his seed was buried in the folds between the wolf's behind. Long copious ribbons painted Xi's insides staining them with the claim of belonging to Hib. So much was the flood within him that a deluge of it spilt out and between both of their bodies soaking them in the essence of masculinity.
Neither minded though.
As Hibuki felt himself come down from the heights that only the angels could traverse he let himself flop back and then panted heavily while looking into the face of his lover. Xi's head was covered with damp and musky sweat as he let his body clench around his mate's length and then slowly lay himself down onto the other. There was no need to move as they lied there embrace by each other and the warmth of a new day. Hibuki not wanting anything to come between them took his arms and wrapped them around Xi's backside while his paws reached down to grab and hold the firm cheeks of the butt belonging to his wolf. Possessive and protective the lifeguard wouldn't let anything disturb them as the two breathed in each other's scents and listened to the beating waves outside crashing onto the shore.
