Before the Ceremony

No one enjoys waiting, most of all when you're at an important event. Jake decided to remedy this by sneaking off to meet a very special someone...


His feetpaws made the old birch floors creak as Jake moved down the broad, long hallway. Though the entire building was ancient by his estimations, this particular hallway seemed even older for some reason. Perhaps it was the rows of elegant oil portraits of couples lining both sides, only interrupted by lavishly decorated wooden doors.

As he rounded a corner, his retriever nose twitched; this was the scent he was looking for. It was sweet but with a certain underlying kick to it. With a grin on his lips, he picked up speed. He passed by each door, stopping briefly to sniff until he found the one he was looking for. It stood out to his eyes, too. The doorframe was engraved with golden motifs showing happy couples dancing, with an arch at the very top above the door. It was also decorated with images of flowers, though Jake couldn’t determine quite which ones, but he liked it nonetheless.

Taking a deep breath, he pushed the handle down and the door clicked. Locked. His heart drooped and he let out a soft sigh, but his moment of disappointment was soon interrupted as another click came from beyond the door, followed by it being pulled open. A feline, a little smaller than Jake himself, faced the retriever with a surprised smile on his lips. “Jake…? What are you doing here? I thought…”

“I… Wanted to see you. Before the ceremony,” His eyes wandered over the cat. Just like Jake, he was wearing a fine suit, though whereas Jake had opted for a butterfly, the cat had strangely decided on a red tie. “Is it customary to wear ties for your family, Nick?”

Blinking, the cat blushed and threw his arms up, walking into the room. “I’ve never done anything this formal! Don’t mock me for trying to look my bes-” He was interrupted as an arm swung him around and a pair of lips met him. A moment later, the cat had melted into the arms of the retriever, indulging the kiss with a passion. Their tongues danced, and he could feel his partner’s handpaws tug at his jacket.

Reluctantly breaking the kiss, he gazed into the canine’s eyes. “Do we really have time for this…?”

With a pause, Jake grinned wide. “We’ll just have to not undress fully, no?”

In response, the cat threw himself back into the kiss. Reached down to undo his belt, he found it had already been undone by the expertly canine. His long grey tail wrapped around Jake’s waist as he was pushed up against the wall next to the door. Between the movement against the wall and the kisses, the feline’s pants had slid off, leaving only his upper body dressed. But that was all his partner needed, anyway.

Lifting the lithe feline up with his arms, the retriever put one arm around his partner’s waist and the other around his rear. All the foreplay had already excited Nick, whose shaft was at half-mast, glistening with precum, and the canine wasn’t much better off. With the lust fuelled by love and passion, neither of the pair could tease the other for too long. As soon as Jake felt himself fully erect, he directed his aching shaft’s tip against his partner’s tailhole and carefully lowered his lover onto it.

A gasp followed by a suppressed moan from beyond gritted teeth told the canine all he needed to know. With a grin on his muzzle, he gave the cat a peck on the cheek, letting him sink just slightly further down his member. It felt warm; like an embrace around his most sensitive parts. And he had needed that embrace for days. A shiver ran up his spine as the feline reached the end of his shaft, and a moment later Jake pulled back a bit, gasping as his member was exposed to the cold air of the room.

It lasted only a second before his hips struck forth, hilting in his lover once again. Another suppressed moan, more akin to a yelp, escaped from the lithe male as he bounced against the wall. Nick planted his claws on Jake’s shoulders; they dug into the dark grey jacket, almost tearing the fabric as the retriever’s hips pushed against the cat’s.

It took mere seconds for Jake’s hips to speed up. He put his weight against his partner, using the wall to leverage against as he felt his balls ache as the slapped against the dark furred rear. “I… Need to…” He stammered, his words caught in his lustful throat.

Nick was equally lost in bliss, and wasn’t able to hold on for quite as long as the canine. After a particularly hard thrust that crushed against his prostate, the cat let out a whining moan as his shaft twitched and sent out several jets of cum, splashing against his fine jacket and shirt. His tailhole clamped down around his partner, who let out a groan as he was taken by surprise. Unable to hold back against the tight contractions around his dick, Jake shuddered as his balls gave up their seed, covering the feline’s insides. Sliding down the wall, the canine collapsed against his partner, huffing softly with a grin.

“Does it still count if it was before the vows…?” He wondered out loud. His reply was a sharp flick of his forehead by the feline.

Both of them were so lost in their bliss, that they almost didn’t hear the door being opened. With his feline reflexes, nick put an arm out and shouted, “Sorry, I’m not dressed! Who is it?”

An elderly gentleman replied, “The ceremony is about ready to begin. You have thirty minutes. Please do get dressed, master Nicholas.”

Jake’s eyes went wide as he looked from the door to the stains on Nick’s shirt, but the feline shook his head and smiled. “Alright, I’ll be along shortly.” He then turned to his partner and placed a handpaw on his cheek. “Don’t you worry, I’ve got this. You just hurry along, I’ll see you in a bit.”


The sun made long shadows in the beautifully decorated main hall. Jake stood at the far end, along with the Master of Ceremonies and a few select individuals from his family and friends. He took a deep breath, his eyes darting to the sundial outside, which was ticking down to sunset. Time was running out, and he was beginning to fill with regret over his surprise for Nick.

But just as he was most lost in his thoughts, the great doors at the other end of the hall flung open. A singular silhouette stood there, and slowly began to make its way up the centre aisle of the hall. As Nick’s face came into view, Jake’s eyes lit up. He’d made it, and seemingly switched the tie for a butterfly.

As the two stood face to face, the Master of Ceremonies nodded at them both and spoke up. “Creatures and critters alike, we are here today to witness the joining of these two souls in partnership. Jacob Sandal and Nicholas Elmhall…”
