#2 of Loukas the White Tiger

A continuation of a story I posted awhile back, though in all honesty you probably don't need to read the first one as it's mostly just smut! I had a lot of ideas moving forward and it honestly got to be lengthy so I cut it off early before it started going toward being an unweidly monster to read.

Feel free to give any criticism or even pass ideas by, I'd love to hear thoughts on it!


The days following Loukas' incident on the road were relatively quiet. He couldn't bare the shame of showing his face around the man he'd taken the job for after what had happened, so he quietly departed as soon as they'd arrived in the next town. From there he'd journeyed a bit further into human lands, toward the mountains where the next village over was. It was something of a tourist attraction due to the natural springs that were found deep underneath the earth here. Loukas had heard about them before, but he'd never actually seen the actual effect of it in person. There were man made canals all throughout the town, large enough that they were being used as travel through means of small boats. Impressive enough on it's own, but what really managed to impress the white tiger was the large walls that the humans had built up around the town. Taller than any building he'd ever seen, this place was certainly never going to be threatened by any wild beasts or monsters that came down from the mountains- or even the forest beyond.

He'd been staying at one of the local inns by means of what left over gold he'd been given by the gnoll. It wasn't much, but it had paid to replace his gear into something that actually fit him and got him far away from that place. By the looks of the few remaining coins left in his pouch though, he was going to have to find work. Soon. The inn was cheap but it was draining his funds rapidly.

The tavern portion of the inn was mostly empty at this time of day, but was sure to get more lively soon. The sun had a few more light giving hours left and Loukas figured he may as well use them to start looking for work now. The brisk mountain air welcomed him as he stepped outside, giving a twitch of his ears at the sounds of street fare. The usual for this town was commotion along the main street, stalls selling various goods. Loukas wasn't on the main street, but his hearing was good enough to pick it up even from the distance away that he was. There was something else though, something much closer by that caught his attention after a moment. Almost akin to arguing, with raised voices and accusatory tones being used.

"Hmm..." Loukas debated internally. On one hand, it was none of his business. On the other, he was mildly curious as to what could be going on. Following that desire, he started off in the direction of the arguing at a mild pace, not wanting to seem over eager in heading toward trouble just in case anyone was watching him. He rounded a building, slipping into an alleyway that was somewhat of a tight squeeze for someone of his size. He could hear that what ever was going on was on the other side of ths building, so he crept along until rather unsteathily popping his head out the other side. His ears gave a flick, looking from side to side until he saw exactly what was causing the commotion- something that made his jaw drow and his stomach nearly do the same.

Arguing with two of the town's guards was none other than that brute of a Gnoll he'd ran into on the road. He'd recognize that scarred muzzle anywhere- though in all honesty the height gave it away much faster than any other feature might've. Loukas quickly dipped back behind the alley, his heart pounding in his chest as he tried to listen in on what was being argued about.

"-...Tellin' ya', I ain't who yer lookin' for ya' daft whoresons." the gnoll rasped out in exasperation.

"Really," one of the guards started. "You're trying to tell us that we're looking for a DIFFERENT ten-foot tall beastman that's been looting caravans, raiding small settlements and has a bounty of seven hundred gold on his head. We're the ones mistaken here?" The human sounded incredulous. Arrogant. Maybe even a little self-righteous.

The gnoll rose up to his full height, arms folding across his chest as he looked down at the two men. "Look, not gonna give ya' a secon' chance to admit ya're bein' real dumb 'bout the situation- err.." his eyes traveled past the men, to where he saw a white tail poking out from one of the alleys. He grinned widely and pointed out, "See, tha' guy o'er there. 'e can tell ya'."

Loukas froze as the conversation stopped. His tail wiggled out in the open, giving him away entirely as the two guards turned around to look at who the gnoll was indicating.

"Hey! You!" the other man shouted, "Come out where we can see you."

The tiger slowly moved out from behind the corner, ears pinned back flat against his skull. It was an awkward, uncomfortable movement as he was forced to lock eyes with the gnoll again for but a brief moment, immediately flashbacks flooding into his brain.

"Do you know this gnoll?" one of the guards asked rather pointedly. The gnoll was standing upright, gesturing rather desperately with his hands while neither of the men were looking back at him. The universal motions for 'please'.

"Uhh... yeah, I do." Loukas spoke dryly, his tongue feeling heavy in his mouth as he said it. "Why? Did he get into some kind of trouble?" he couldn't believe the words that were coming out of his mouth. The moment he spoke he regretted it, yet there he stood with a quivering lip. He hoped he was far enough away that no one could catch it.

The man on the left lifted up a parchment with a bounty written on it. "Yeah, I'll say. He fits every account given on our bounty. Raiding, pillaging, stealing. Just about every form of banditry that can be listed."

"An' I'm sayin' it ain't me. Tell 'em kitten, we've been travelin' together from the west fer moons now. Couldn't'a been me." The gnoll rose his arms up again, mocking defeat as he spoke the words.

Loukas stammered, stumbling over the idea of leaving the gnoll to his likely very deserved fate at the hands of bounty hunters. Though... in actuality, looking at the two humans, it was more likely that the gnoll would be the clear victor in a fight. Maybe it was best to just lie to avoid someone getting hurt?

"Yeah," the tiger cleared his throat as he spoke. "That's right. There's no way he could've done any of that. He's been with me the whole time." He didn't sound at all assured in his voice, swearing he heard himself crack at least once while saying that. Before there was another chance for one of the humans to say anything through, the gnoll pushed through them and started walking toward Loukas.

"See? Told ya'. Now the two of ya' can scram," he moved up beside the tiger, bumping his hip into the smaller beastkin and giving him a not so subtle wink. "Less ya' wan' a figh' wit' the both of us."

That comment seemed to make the two of them wary. Whatever thought they might've had about taking the gnoll down themselves immediately evaporated with the inclusion of Loukas in the group. The tiger was well armed after all.

"Don't think this is over, beast. We'll be back." one of the guards spat before the two of them started to slowly back away.

"Hah! Try again an' I won' be so nice!" the gnoll retorted back at them, loud enough that they took the hint and started to move at a more brisk pace.

Loukas felt like an eternity was passing as he stood there beside the gnoll, watching the two men leave. He felt uncomfortably warm, though most of that heat felt like it was coming off of his 'companion'. He kept his eyes foward, not daring to look away or catch the gaze of the gnoll standing at his side. He could only maintain that pose for so long though as he soon felt a hand fall upon his shoulder. He looked up, locking eyes with the incredibly tall brute.

"Ya' look well, kitten." He grinned from ear to ear, showing fangs in a non-threatening fashion. "Wasn' expectin' ya', good timin' on tha' one."

"I should have just let them take you in," Loukas sighed, raising a hand up to cover his face. "Give me one good reason why I shouldn't just turn you in myself." His hand dragged all the way down, falling back to his side.

"Uhh.. well," the gnoll coughed, looking uncharacteristically uncomfortable. "Look, shouldn'a did wha' I did to ya', tha's on me. Lemme make it up to ya'." he was doing his best at looking friendly. It was a little unsettling. "Honest. Back'n we was ..y'know, fightin'. Figured ya' were tryin'a seduce me. Showin' yer ass. Heh." The gnoll smirked, recalling a pleasant memory that made Loukas' fur rise and heat rush to his face in embarassment.

"I can't... I don't, no! There's no way I was trying to seduce you! My clothes just got stuck on a nail from that shoddy cart I was trying to escort!" Loukas shook his head vehemently.

"Got tha' later," the gnoll snorted in amusement. "So, lemme do this. Jus' one thing, then ya' can be on yer way."

Loukas hesitated. He wondered how easy it would be to just walk away from the situation and try to put everything involving this gnoll behind him once and for all. The tiger felt like he was maybe being at least a little genuine in the offer though, if only by that lopsided smile.

"Fine," he spoke at last. "If you really think you can do -anything- to make up for that, then-.." he got cut off by the gnoll giving him an over friendly slap to the back, sending him stumbling forward a step.

"Great!" The gnoll cackled, "The name's Skum, by the way. Good ta meet ya'."

"...How appropriate." Loukas sighed to himself, spinning to face Skum. "I'm Loukas, can't say the feeling is entirely mutual."

"Don' be like tha', kitt-.. err, Loukas. Yer gonna be praisin' my name after I show ya' where wer goin'." Skum moved his arm around the tiger's shoulder and started ushering him off in a direction, ignoring any protests that came out from the smaller male.

The two of them got some strange looks from people as they moved through the city. Loukas was used to being stared at when he wasn't looking, not this blatant wide-eyed gawking that came with being led around like arm candy against the gnoll's side. He stopped recognizing his surroundings rather quickly as he hadn't been in the city long enough to fully explore it. Skum led him into an area that felt like it was older than every where else. More rustic. The buildings were all wooden, some of which looked worse for ware and less well taken care of. It gave off the vibes he was used to in beastkin parts of human settlements- but everyone here still seemed human. Aside from the two of them, at least.

At the end of the trek was a remarkably nice looking establishment for where it was located. It didn't look too different from a tavern from what Loukas could tell, aside from the very large fence that was put up around the sides of the building that blocked off the majority of the area around and behind it. It towered above it's surroundings, reaching almost four stories high.

"What is this place?" the tiger asked, his awe managing to break through the loathing he felt toward his company.

"'is 'ere is a spring. Never been, but 'eard a lot about it. Ya' ready?" The gnoll asked, looking down at Loukas.

"A spring? You mean like a hot spring?" Loukas gave a twitch of his ears, images of shedding clothes and plunging into water beside the massive beast beside him flooding his mind. "I'm not going in with you." he stated flatly.

Skum's expression fell somewhere between confused and hurt. Though with the gnoll, every expression that passed his face looked more mocking and sarcastic than genuine. "But... but why? Ya' gotta let me do this! Ya' 'eard the stories, righ'? Water comes down from tha mountain, cures everythin' it touches. Makes old folks young, young folks... younger." Skum raises his arms up, gesturing wildly in the air. "Look, look," he continued, hand snapping down to his hip to lift a large satchel of coin up. "Ya' don' even gotta pay. S'on me, really." The gnoll's free hand pressed to his chest as if to proclaim some kind of honorable gesture.

"Sure. You can pay for just me then, and be on your way after you've paid." Loukas held his hand out toward the satchel of coin expectantly. Whatever the gnoll's game was, he wasn't interested in playing it.

"Uhh..." Skum thought aloud, before raising himself back up to his full height. "I 'unno 'bou tha'. S'pose I coul'..." He turned his gaze down, looking sternly at Loukas for a few seconds. Then the hesitation seemed to fall away all at once and he dropped the satchel into the tiger's hand, "Alrigh'. 'Ave it yer way. Atleas' lemme ma'e sure no one gives ya' any trouble though." He tilted his head to the side, drawing Loukas gaze to follow it.

Loukas looked around birefly, not following what the gesture was at first until he some well armored men lurking off in the distance. They looked identical to the ones that had been harassing Skum in that alleyway, except that were more of them now. Three more, by the looks of it. It didn't click immediately why they'd have any trouble with him, he didn't have any bounties out on him. He was as little known as it went in these parts.

"Why would they give..." the tiger started, the connections starting to go through in his head. His attention jerked back to the gnoll, giving an agitated flick of his tail. "Did they follow us this whole way?"

"Sorta... Probably thin' tha' yer wit' me now, y'know. Tha bastards gonna try'n start somethin' again, but they won' do it if they thin' they'll lose." Skum snorts as he finished talking, sounding truly annoyed. "Cowards, the lot of 'em. They can't go makin' no trouble in a fine establishmen', either." He looks back down at the tiger, his grin returning in full force. "Jus' until they leave, then ya' can ge' rid o' me. Promise." Skum repeated the motion of placing his hand over his chest, an act that make Loukas groan in response.

He didn't want to be caught alone against bounty hunters, regardless of the situation. They were in the right originally. He mentally cursed himself for getting in the middle of things to begin with, if only he hadn't been so nosy...

"Just until they go away." Loukas raises his finger pointedly, jerking it up at Skum. "Then you go away, too." He hoped that at the very least the gnoll might keep to some part of his word. With one final glance over his shoulder to make sure of the distance between them and the armored men, Loukas started toward the entrance to the building.

______________________________________________________________________________

Once inside things moved quicker than Loukas expected. There weren't many guests in the hidden gem Skum had led them to, and as such the owner was quick to separate Loukas from the gold that he'd been given by the gnoll. He barely had a chance to get a word out before he'd paid for a full night's stay with full access to the hot springs. The listed price and how much ended up coming out of that satchel made his fur stand on end. He shot a confused glance at Skum, questioning just how much of that gold came from honest merchants. After being given a key for the room, the two of them were guided back along the hallway into a portion of the inn that had been sequestered for beastkin guests. There were fewer rooms, and the access to the springs behind was also much more limited. It might've been more offensive were anyone else there, but with only Loukas and Skum there it actually felt rather nice to the tiger to know there wouldn't be eyes gawking at the two of them like they had been on the trek here.

The springs outside were nicer than he was expecting. There was a fence that rose up in the middle of them to separate this side of the spring from another, but the amount of space was still enough to fit dozens if not more. The two of them were left alone in a changing area, raised up from the ground on a wooden platform that ended several yards away from the edge of the spring. Along the path leading up to that was several stalls, intended for use before getting in the water to cleanse the body.

"Alright, I think you can go now." Loukas spoke, looking over at Skum finally after he was done taking in the sights. His eyes widened in shock to see that the gnoll was already starting to undress, dropping articles of clothing and heavy leathers down onto a bench rather than setting them in the baskets that had been laid out for that purpose.

"What're you doing? You said you were just here to make sure-," the tiger started while looking away, interrupted by the gnoll's hand landing on his shoulder.

"Awh, don' be like tha'. Already 'ere, righ'? Jus' gonna take quick dip!" Skum moved back to what he was doing, dropping leathers at an alarming rate. Not wanting to cause a scene, Loukas simply turned around and started doing the same thing, as fast as he possibly could in attempt to get away from the gnoll's gaze that he swore he could feel burning into his pelt from behind, tracing over every blackened stripe that melded into his soft white fur.

Loukas walked quickly across the wooden flooring, stepping down off of the platform onto the stone ground and making his way quickly to one of the stalls. He was deeply regretting agreeing to his, stripped down to nothing but a simple piece of cloth tied around his waist loosely to cover his crotch. His ears twitched, hearing the lumbering footsteps of the gnoll following along after him. There was a sense of hyper awareness to his every movement he made, nearly naked as he was. Things he didn't usually think about but was now sexualizing his own body in the ideation of what the gnoll might see from him. Every step, the swish of his tail, his eyes turned to look down and noticing the subtle bounce of his own pecs with his heavy footfalls, pink nipples poking out from beneath the smooth white canvas of fur that covered his chest. The tiger moved a hand up to turn the contraption located on the wall of the stall, needing an out from pervasive thoughts that started to flood in immediately. A surprised gasp leaving his mouth when a sudden deluge of hot water cascading down on him from above. Warmth spread over his body as it ran down him, fur running soothingly against his frame. "Woah..!" he muttered to himself. He knew how it was supposed to work in theory, but this was beyond luxury in his eyes. His head dipped under the source of the water, having to bend slightly to get himself under it. It must've been designed for humans with how short the stall was, even for this being a beastkin exclusive part of the hotspring. Loukas became so entranced by the feeling of a hot shower that he didn't notice as the cloth bound around his waist slowly slid down to his feet with the torrent of water coming down his body. His tail flicked from side to side, eyes closed as he simply enjoyed the sensation. All the tension in his muscles felt like it was melting away, pooling at his feet and drifting down the drains carved into the stone to keep the water flowing.

The tiger let out a content sigh, turning around to lean his back against the wall of his stall and let the water rush down the other side of him. As his eyes slowly opened up he could see that directly across from him was the gnoll, bent down at an awkward angle. Loukas blinked a few times, hands rubbing at his eyes to get the haze of watery vision cleared out as he leaned forward. Skum was trying to get the shower to turn on, but for one reason or another didn't seem to be able to do so. As massive as he was, he barely fit into the stall in the first place. He had to bend down, his knees folded to the point that he was nearly squatting. Loukas eye's traveled down the gnoll's back, a solid frame of muscle that he was well accustomed with from the reeling blows that had been delivered in their fight, covered in short tan fur. It was the first time he'd seen the gnoll from behind, stopping for a moment at the short tail that was wiggling about in the gnoll's concentrated state. And what lay just below that was, well... Skum had the biggest ass the tiger had ever seen. Not that he had a good collection of rear-ends that he could list down with his relatively small sexual experience, but he wasn't blind. The gnoll's ass did more than just match the height and stature of the massive barbarian, there was some blessing the God's deemed necessary. Musculed, yet with an ample amount of fat that had his cheeks jiggling very subtly as he moved, accented by the swish of his tail dragging over those mounds. Loukas' grazed dragged downward, flicking across the space between them in curious vision of what might've lay between. He swallowed harshly, his mouth feeling suddenly dry even in the humid air surrounding the spring. Likely from the fact his jaw had dropped and was hanging open in his blatant staring.

Skum's legs were just spread enough that his balls were dipping in and out of sight, loosely hung in their sac and sliding between his thighs. Loukas remembered them rather vividly, if not wholly in appearance but from how they felt when they were slapping off of his own pair. The tiger felt his cock stirring, interest flooding his loins at a rapid flow that was out pacing how coherently he could form a thought. He had the mental capacity to tell himself to stop staring, but his will power to do so was lacking.

"'Ey kitten..! Err, Loukas..!" Skum started, lifting himself up to turn around. The moment his voice broke through the sound of water cascading down Loukas had to turn around rapidly, staring in shock at the throbbing cock now present between his legs. His eyes flicked around, catching sight of the loincloth he was wearing sliding down into a drain with the torrent.

"Can ya' ge' mine workin'? Can' figure out 'ow shite works, hah!" the gnoll cackles to himself for a moment.

"Figure it out yourself!" Loukas raises his voice more than intended as he replies, desperately trying to position himself in a way that there was absolutely no chance that Skum would be able to see his erection.

"Really.. jus' a secon'!" Skum sighs, turning back around. "I won' even look at ya' or nothin'. Jus'.. gonna stand 'ere so ya' can come work magic on it."

"Really? You're not going to turn around at all?" Loukas asks.

"S'wha' I jus' said!" Skum replies.

The tiger takes a careful glance over his shoulder, seeing that Skum was infact turned around and not looking in his direction. Standing at full height again, the gnoll was peaking over the very top of the stall by almost a foot and a half, looking out at something that Loukas couldn't see. He braced himself, trying to will his cock to behave. He gave a quick look to make for certain that it was only the two of them, before slowly creeping out of his own stall toward Skums.

"Don't you dare turn around." He reinforced the statement as he appraoched up behind the naked body of the gnoll, averting his gaze mostly away.

"Wouldn' dare." Skum mutters in that mocking tone of his, letting out a snickered cackle.

With where the gnoll was standing it was actually rather awkward to get up to the wall where the lever was to get the water flowing. Skum took up most of the stall by himself, and Loukas didn't want to try squeezing past the gnoll to do it.

"Can't you take up less space?" the tiger scowled as he moved forward, his body inches away from pressing into Skum's as he slid his arm beside the gnoll and tried to grab at the lever.

"No." Skum replied in a teasing hum. He pressed his hip against the side of the stall, freeing up some room for Loukas to reached past him and grab hold of the lever. "Oh! Tha's wha' I was gonna do!" He made the snap motion of grabbing it before the tiger could, squatting down slightly again in the process. He bumped into the tiger, who let out a grunt as the familiar sensation of hot water started to splash down around his feet and arm.

"There! Now you can.." Loukas was withdrawing his arm back and started taking a step back when Skum grabbed him by the wrist, quickly pulling him with surprising strength into the cramped so that he was pinned between the wall and the gnoll. The second he opened his mouth to protest his mouth was invaded by the gnoll's, a hot press of Skum's lips meeting his own and driving a foreign tongue in to dance and meld with his own. Loukas let out a confused humming noise as the gnoll's deep kiss. Between that and the hot water that was rushing down between them, he felt like he was actually going to melt. His cock twitched in time with his pulse, jerking around between his legs and betraying his every thought. Skum made no further advances other than locking the tiger in a kiss that seemed to drag on for ages, a confusing and rough flick of tongues and the taste of another man soaking into Loukas' senses. When finally the gnoll did pull back, Loukas' chest was rising and falling in heavy panted breaths, his mouth still open in surprise.

"What...what was that..?" Loukas gasped the words out, trying to muster the form to be angry about it but not exactly there.

"Heh heh. S'part of the apology." Skum grinned from ear to ear, showing fangs as he did so. "Wasn' gonna try nothin' at firs', but..." He turns his gaze down to Loukas' dick, jerking upward as attention was brought to it. He moved a hand down to lightly bap it, the tiger's cock bobbing up and down in t he air a single time comically. "Now, before ya' go gettin' the wrong idea..!" Skum kept speaking, sounding less mocking. His voice had gotten deeper, more gravely. Almost seductive as it burned hot against Loukas' ears. "Since las' time... ya' sort'a got the shite end of the deal," his head tilts a bit, dismissing from talking about it too in depth, "Figure... ya' could 'ave the go'a things this time 'round." He finishes with a wink, releasing his grip on the feline's wrist and waiting for a responce.

"The.. go of things?" Loukas asks in confusion, pressed back against the wall and still more than a little overwhelmed.

"Yeah... like..." Skum thinks for a moment before moving into action, reaching out with a hand again.

Loukas doesn't resist as his hand is grabbed, lifted up to the gnoll's chest where it gets places firmly there. Skum immediately flexes, letting the tiger get a good feel of the solid muscle underneath.

"Ya' wanna touch somethin', ya' jus' touch. Ya' wan' me to do somethin', ya' ask." Skum speaks plainly, enough to get his point across even through the tiger's addled mind.

Loukas' hand had a mind of it's own, squeezing and groping at the gnoll's chest as it flexed underneath his fingertips. He moved it back and forth, eyes fixated and drawn in to the sight of Skum's pecs pumping up and down. He could scarcely believe what he was hearing. He could touch anywhere he wanted? Do anything he wanted or ask Skum to do something? The mountainous beast of a bandit was actually willing to go to that length just to make amends for what happened between the two of them on the roads? It wasn't exactly romantic by any means, and Skum was certainly still getting the better end of the deal with dodging the bounty hunters, but Loukas couldn't- no, he didn't want to push back against the opportunity.

The tiger's nails ran through the tan fur of Skum's chest, quickly joined by his other hand, moving across the gnoll's body as it became slick and wet under the warm waters. Skum was still bent forward, shadow covering Loukas in the small quarters of the stall. He was slow at first, the nervousness in his touch apparent. Gradual as it was, he did eventually move on to touching elsewhere, his hands venturing from Skum's chest to his arms, his sides, wandering across the body he was given access too. Every stroke that Loukas placed upon the gnoll drew out content sighs, spurring him on further. The ridges of Skum's abs invoked much of Loukas' attention, relatively dry still from the position the two of them were in. Everywhere he touched, Skum would flex and relax in rhythmic motions, a surprisingly seductive tactic coming from someone so barbaric. He wanted to travel lower, but with the gnoll bent forward it wasn't possible. Skum's words were still ringing in his ears, so he decided to move to the second half of what was being given.

"Can... can you put your hands behind your back...?" Loukas asked curiously, testing the waters with something that seemed non-offensive. He was still wary of the situation, but lust was the driving force for every motion he made. The tiger's cock was so hard it was nearly painful, bouncing his balls in their furry pouch everytime it jerked upwards.

"Hn..." Skum grunted a noise of affirmation, seemingly relaxed from the way Loukas had been rubbing all over his torso. He stood up straight, his arms shifting backwards to keep his hands locked firmly behind his back.

The feline's eyes traveled south to where Skum's cock was now under the direct assault of the showering water, having thickened from all the attention the gnoll was recieving but not entirely hard yet. He could imagine the weight of it just by looking at it, but he wanted to get his hands on it. Loukas slid his hand around the shaft, squeezing it gently and lifting it up. "Gods," he breathed out. It was huge, like he remembered it being. He looked up to see Skum staring him down, eyes locked with his own as the slab of meat in his hand pulsed to life, growing thicker by the second.

"S'all yours, kitten." the gnoll teased, not even trying to correct himself with Loukas name this time.

Loukas' grip tightened, stroking up and down against the gnoll's cock. He felt compelled, watching the hypnotic way that Skum's shaft throbbed like it was trying to fall into rhythm with his own heartbeat. His free hand slipped underneath, grabbing the gnoll by the nuts. The tiger fell into the motions of jerking and squeezing at Skum's dick while groping around at the twin orbs hanging in that fuzzy pouch beneath it. All the while Skum remained in place, hands behind his back and staring down at the tiger. Skum's length and girth eclipsed the feline's, in what ended up feeling and looking like at least a full twelve inches of cock that was now pointing straight at Loukas, undoubtedly oozing precum that was being washed away by the hot water. Loukas continued to pump his hand up and down the full length of Skum's cock, drawing out quiet grunts from the significantly larger male.

"Ya' can kiss it if ya' want." Skum coo'd out in a breathy growl, flexing his groin and making his dick jump in the tiger's hands. It elicted a slight glare from Loukas who was brought back to the reality of who the cock in his hands belonged to.

"You know what?" Loukas gave a furious flick of his tail, slapping it against the side of the stall the two of them were standing in. His claws very lightly dug into the gnoll's balls as he gave a firm squeeze, harder than he intended to but it was one of two things he had a hold of with Skum at the moment. "You should really be on your hands and knees, *begging* for me to forgive you for what you did! Maybe lead with lifting *your* tail." He snapped up at the gnoll, raising his voice considerably.

"Ouch-, ouch, shite! Okay!" Skum winced as the tiger's hand squeezed at his jewels, hard enough that he became a little weak legged but without too much pain. "Gods damned, alrigh'! Tha's... no' really... bu' fine!" He grabs the sides of the stall, waiting for Loukas to ease up on his nuts before he moved again.

The tiger released Skum from his vice grip rather quickly, the anger flooding out of his system almost as quickly as it had surged up into him. He let go, ears pinning back against his skull, "Err, I didn't... I shouldn't have done that..." he stammered on, but even as he said it the gnoll started to turn away. He expected that Skum was simply going to leave after a stunt like that, count it as a loss and be on his way rather than try anything more. It would've been a bit of a relief from having to deal with the barbaric hyena, but rather than walk off after turning away the gnoll lowered himself down onto his knees. Loukas' eyes widened. Skum dropped down onto his hands, lowering his face to the ground and lifting up his ass toward the tiger. It was an impossibly submissive pose for someone like the gnoll to be in, who towered over every person he came across. Loukas was exposed to the full picture of the gnoll's ass, rounded glutes begging for attention with a tail that slowly rose up with more than a little hesitation.

"...Please..." Skum started, his voice cracking uncharacteristically. He cleared his throat, dropping into a normalish sounding tone. "S'pose ya' wanna forgive me?" He managed to get out, staying relatively still in that position without looking back over his shoulder. Loukas could only stare, awe stricken at Skum's prostration. The way Skum's tan fur clung to his form, soft shades of brown tufting inward down along the gnoll's taint, trailing down to the smooth balls swaying underneath, water dripping from that heavy sac. Skum was only willing to stay silently in the pose for so long before he looked over his shoulder, a half-hearted grin on his face. "C'mon... ain't really my thing... somethin' else ya' want..?"

"Honestly," Loukas breathed out, managing to draw his attention up from Skum's ass to respond. "This is good." He stepped out of the way of the shower, letting the water spray down onto the gnoll's turned up backside. He couldn't help but let out a quiet laugh, eroticism mixing in with the silliness of Skum's pose in the stall. The gnoll was too large for it, his upper half sticking out of the stall with mostly just legs and ass inside. It must've looked ridiculous from the outter perspective, Loukas just hoped that no one was actually looking to see what the two of them were doing. "Stay like that," Loukas spoke while lifting a hand up to turn the water off, settling down to a drizzle before tapering off entirely. He lowered himself down squatting behind the gnoll and laying his hands on Skum's muscled cheeks. It was the first time that Loukas thought that Skum might actually want some kind of forgiveness, because the gnoll didn't budge when the tiger's fingers dug into that ass and spread it wide.

"Easy!" Skum blurted out, his dark pink pucker stretching slightly from the tug of Loukas' fingers. The tiger couldn't get enough. It looked so vulnerable, so easy, such a quick way to enact 'revenge' for what the gnoll had put him through.

Loukas dipped his fingers inward, pressing close to that dark ring and tugging outward again, pulling Skum's hole into a very subtle opening. For a moment he thought he felt the big guy shudder, but as soon as he noticed it, it stopped. He eased on the pressure around the gnoll's star, watching it flex inward immediately as those big glutes clenched down. The idea quickly became how to make Skum relax to a point he might not resist what the tiger wanted to do. Or.. might not resist fast enough, at least. Loukas slid his hands down, fingers trailing across Skum's taint and drawing an undeniable shudder out of the gnoll this time. One stopped at Skum's balls, hefting their weight against his palm while the other grabbed at the gnoll's cock and started pumping up and down.

"Hooo... fuckin'..." Skum breathed out, toes curling inward. He shifted on his knees, rocking his hips from side to side a single time. He didn't bother complaining with the attention now focused on his dick. Loukas' hand could barely engulf the girth of Skum's shaft but it was more than enough, rapidly jerking that big cock and making the gnoll's balls bounce against the tiger's palm.

Loukas leaned in, his maw parting as he dipped his tongue out to meet Skum's bouncing nuts. Held in his hand it was easy enough to curl his fingers around the base of that sac, pulling them out nice and taut before dragging this tongue across them. Skum remained surprisingly quiet aside from a pleasured growl that came rumbling out of his chest from the sudden stimulation. The tiger's eyes were drawn to a half-lid, his tongue working in languid motions all around Skum's sac. He delivered affection in equal measure to each of the twin orbs residing within that smooth pouch, suckling and slurping in intervals that left the gnoll's cock oozing precum down onto the wet stone below them. Loukas' gaze was fixated on Skum's asshole all throughout, watching the puckered star twitch with every flex the gnoll made. It was turning out to be surprsingly easy to get Skum going, panted moans reaching Loukas' ears in frequent gasps. Maybe it was the position he was in or simply that he was already incredibly aroused, but Skum seemed like he was already about to reach his limit.

"Gods... ya' sure know yer way around a sac..." Skum spoke in a pleasure leaden voice, his tail giving a single shifting flick as he dug his claws into the stone, scraping across it.

Loukas had half a mind to give Skum a nip to the balls just to shut him up again, but he didn't want to undo all of his hard work. He loosened his grip around the base of the gnoll's sac, giving one final long drag of his tongue across it that ended around his own finger. Loukas slathered the finger in his saliva, making sure that it was nice and slick for the coming voyage. He waited for what he considered exactly the right second, feeling the throb of Skum's cock against the hand that was milking it. The tiger pressed the tip of his finger on the gnoll's hole, a sensation that might've only barely registered in the pleasure induced haze Skum was currently in. Loukas stroked rapidly, wanting to send that fat cock well beyond it's limits as soon as he started to apply real pressure onto Skum's ass. And somewhat to his surprise, it worked.

Skum let out a moaned gasp that got interrupted in part by a short grunt that came from having his asshole suddenly violated. The tiger's finger found immediate purchase, slipping past the ring of muscle guarding Skum's inner depths. Loukas could feel every muscle that began to spasm around his finger, matching the rampant throb of Skum's cock. Thick ropes of cum started splattering against the stone, the gnoll's hips jerking as the finger in his ass started rapidly moving in and out. Every clench threatened to squeeze Loukas' finger from his hand, a near impossible tightness that told him everything he needed to know about Skum saying this wasn't really his thing. In the heat of the moment though, Skum was drenching the stone floor with his cum. The squeezes were just an accent to the gushing that was the gnoll's climax, balls tightened up to his groin firing off his repentant load.

Loukas was enthralled by the sight and the sounds coming out of Skum. Milking the cum out of a barbarian almost twice as big as he was wasn't something he thought he'd ever be doing. Even so, he worked that massive dick for all it was worth, squeezing out every rope of thick cum he could coerce out of Skum's heavy nuts. The resulting puddle of gnoll jizz that pooled under Skum's cock was enough to make Loukas feel somewhat proud of himself. Not that he knew how much the gnoll usually came, but... he did have a somewhat personal recollection of at least one.

The tiger slowly pulled his finger out of the panting gnoll, watching as that pink rim flexed closed again, quivering rapidly.

"So... what'd'ya ...hah, say?" Skum gasped out, lifting his chest up from the ground on somewhat shaky arms. He looked over his shoulder, shooting Loukas an almost meek stare. "Even now... 'er, ya' forgive me?" He trailed off as his eyes wandered down between the tiger's legs, taking note of Loukas' cock drooling a copious stream of pre down the length of it.

"I..." Loukas started, stopping as he followed Skum's gaze. He blinked at the side of his rigid cock, a hair away from cumming even though he hadn't touched himself. He quickly brought his legs together, hiding his cock between his thighs and clearing his throat to make Skum look back up at his face.

"Yeah, I... I guess. You wouldn't have done that if you, uh... well." The tiger stood up, turning his head to the side to avoid meeting direct gazes. "I can forgive that. But not what you do. We're still not going to be friends."

Skum lifted himself off of the ground, glad to be free of the pose he'd been subjected to even if it was his own doing. He turned back around and pressed into the limited space of the stall, looming over Loukas again. "S'alright." he coo'd out in a teasing voice, "Yer gonna come aroun'."

"Come around to what? You're still a criminal, and," Loukas started off trying to sound indignant, but his voice hitched as the gnoll's hand grabbed at his cock. The tiger let out an unrestrained moan as those dextrous fingers started working over his shaft, stroking back and forth in a slow tug that made his hips jerk forward. He'd been so fixated on what he could do to the gnoll that his own pleasure had been put to the wayside, though in this case it had constantly been simmering to a boil from the moment their lips had met. He clenched down his teeth, trying to avoid immediately losing himself to the sensation of the gnoll's hand making those long strokes over his slick shaft.

"Real considerate of ya' not tryin'a do anythin' with this when ya' had my ass up." Skum kept going in the same tone, acting like nothing was being said and his movements were entirely acceptable. The grit of his mocking personality back in full force. "Bet ya' wanted to, righ'?"

Loukas was wordless, pleasure running through his veins like electricity. He was so close, ready to dive over that edge. The vague sense of calm he was trying to keep in front of the gnoll faltered rapidly. His tail flicked wildly, slapping against the sides of the stall as he tensed up, his balls tight against his groin with a dull pleasurable ache-

Skum withdrew his hand, releasing the tiger entirely. He brought his hands up to the top of the stall the two of them were squeezed into, his body taking up most of the space available. "Alrigh', can live with tha'. Jus' forgivin' me is good 'nuff, can leave ya' be- Err... what the.." He looked down, feeling sudden warmth drenching his thighs.

The tiger couldn't hold it back, his cock jumping in the open air and shooting ropes of cum all over Skum's legs. His white furred frame pushed back against the wall of the stall, legs pushed slightly apart. There was no stopping the flood, thickly coating over Skum's fur as he seemed content to simply stand in the line of fire with a rapidly growing grin on his face. THe gnoll's thighs were soon dripping with it, tiger seed running down his fur with a few stray strands hanging from near his crotch.

"Or not," Skum cackled. A thin line of cum oozed from Skum's cock, still half hard and swaying between his legs as he took a step back from the smaller male. He didn't say anything further than that, finally stepping out of the stall and moving toward the spring finally.

A loud splash indicated that the gnoll had jumped in, leaving Loukas alone for a moment to collect himself.

"Gods, dammit..." he sighed, staring down at the shameful display that was his twitching cock. "How does he do this to me?"
